Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of garage door motor technology and relates to a garage door motor. Background Technology

[0002] The earliest garage doors relied on manual opening and closing, which was inconvenient, especially in inclement weather or with heavy doors. Manual doors also posed safety issues, as the door could fall or cause injuries due to improper operation. Garage door motors, on the other hand, use electricity to automatically open and close the garage door.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN209930066U discloses a garage door motor that is easy to install. The motor includes a housing with an iron base plate on its lower side and a rear cover on its rear side. The left and right sides of the housing each have a groove; one end of the groove is located in the middle of the side of the housing, and the other end extends rearward and connects to the rear end of the housing. The front side of the housing is formed into an outwardly protruding arc-shaped surface with a mounting groove for a control panel. The base plate includes vertical edges on the left and right sides, and arc-shaped edges on the front and rear sides. A bevel is provided at the connection between the vertical edges and the arc-shaped edges. The vertical edges have a lower connecting plate, a first connecting plate, and a second connecting plate. The base plate has a second groove and a protrusion. This technical solution achieves rapid fixing of the housing through the connecting plates and the base plate. However, the motor in this solution experiences significant vibration during use, leading to a shorter lifespan and substantial economic losses for the motor owner. Utility Model Content

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, a garage door motor includes a motor body 1, which is located between an upper clamping plate 2 and a lower clamping plate 3. Both the upper clamping plate 2 and the lower clamping plate 3 are mounted on a drive assembly, which can drive the upper clamping plate 2 and the lower clamping plate 3 to fix the motor body 1. The drive assembly is fixed on a first mounting plate 4. A first protective shell 5 and a second protective shell 6 are slidably disposed on the upper clamping plate 2 and the lower clamping plate 3, respectively. Both the first protective shell 5 and the second protective shell 6 have through holes 7 on one side of the output shaft of the motor body 1. A buckle 15 is fixed on the second protective shell 6, and the second protective shell 6 is fixed to the first protective shell 5 through the buckle 15. A shock absorber 16 is fixed on the other side of the first mounting plate 4 away from the motor body 1. A second mounting plate 17 is disposed on the side of the shock absorber 16 away from the first mounting plate 4. The first mounting plate 4 is inserted into the second mounting plate 17 through a pin 20.

[0019] By sliding the first protective shell 5 upwards, the motor body 1 is placed between the upper clamping plate 2 and the lower clamping plate 3. The upper clamping plate 2 and the lower clamping plate 3 are then moved by the drive assembly to fix the motor body 1. The first protective shell 5 is then released, the second protective shell 6 is pushed upwards, and the first protective shell 5 and the second protective shell 6 are fixed by the buckle 15 to complete the installation of the motor body 1. During the operation of the motor body 1, if vibration occurs, it will be damped by the shock absorber 16 to reduce vibration and extend service life.

[0020] In this embodiment, the drive assembly includes a rotating disk 8 rotatably connected to a first mounting plate 4, a rotating rod 9 fixed on the rotating disk 8, two synchronous pulleys 10 rotatably connected to the first mounting plate 4, both synchronous pulleys 10 being connected by a synchronous belt 11, the lower end of the center of the rotating disk 8 being fixed to the synchronous pulley 11 by a column, and a lead screw assembly being fixed to the lower part of each of the two synchronous pulleys 10, one of the synchronous pulleys 10 being fixed to the lower end of the rotating disk 8, and the synchronous pulley 10 fixed to the rotating disk 8 being concentric with the rotating disk 8;

[0021] By turning the rotating rod 9, the rotating disk 8 is driven to rotate around the central axis of the rotating disk 8, which in turn drives the synchronous pulley 10 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the two synchronous pulleys 10 to rotate together through the synchronous belt 11. The two synchronous pulleys 10 can drive the two lead screw assemblies to rotate.

[0022] In this embodiment, the lead screw assembly consists of two lead levers 12, one end of each lead lever 12 is fixed to the other, and the threads on the two lead levers 12 are in opposite directions. The upper support plate 18 and the lower support plate 19 are respectively threaded onto the two lead levers 12 located on the upper side and the lower side. The upper clamping plate 2 is fixed to the upper support plate 18, and the lower clamping plate 3 is fixed to the lower support plate 19. The upper end of the lead lever 12 located on the upper side passes through the synchronous wheel 10 and the rotating disk 8, and is fixed to the synchronous wheel 10 and the rotating disk 8. The upper part of the lead lever 12 located on the upper side rotates inside the first mounting plate 4 through the bearing.

[0023] Reinforcing ribs are fixed on both the upper support plate 18 and the lower support plate 19;

[0024] The rotation of the two synchronous pulleys 10 drives the rotation of the two sets of lead levers 12. The rotation of the lead levers 12 drives the upper support plate 18 and the lower support plate 19 to move, thereby driving the upper clamping plate 2 and the lower clamping plate 3 to move. Since each lead screw assembly is composed of two lead levers 12 in opposite directions, the upper clamping plate 2 and the lower clamping plate 3 move in opposite directions.

[0025] In this embodiment, rubber damping pads 13 are fixed on both the upper clamping plate 2 and the lower clamping plate 3;

[0026] The rubber damping pad 13 can reduce noise during the operation of the motor body 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, ventilation plates 14 are fixed on both the first protective shell 5 and the second protective shell 6. The ventilation plates 14 not only ensure the circulation of hot air on the motor body 1, but also prevent dust from entering between the first protective shell 5 and the second protective shell 6 and adhering to the motor body 1, thus affecting the heat dissipation of the motor body 1.

[0028] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
