[0025] Example

[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides an intelligent garage micro roller actuator, comprising,

[0027] Mounting assembly 100 includes a base 101, a lower housing 102 fixedly connected to the middle of the base 101, and a connector socket 103 fixedly connected to the middle of the lower housing 102.

[0028] The drive assembly 200 includes an upper shell 201 inserted into the inner side of the lower shell 102, a connector plug 202 fixedly installed at the end of the upper shell 201, a main board 203 fixedly connected inside the upper shell 201, and a terminal block 204 snapped into the side wall of the upper shell 201. The end of the connector plug 202 is inserted into the middle of the connector socket 103, and the terminal block 204 is inserted into the interface side wall of the main board 203. The connector plug 202 is electrically connected to the main board 203 through a wire.

[0029] The base 101 serves as the fundamental support structure for the entire miniature roller actuator, providing a mounting platform for other components. The lower housing 102 is securely fixed in the middle of the base 101, fitting tightly together and providing protection and housing space for the internal electrical and mechanical components. The design of the lower housing 102 not only protects the internal components from external environmental influences but also provides positioning and support for the installation and connection of various components. The connector socket 103 is fixed in the middle of the lower housing 102, serving as an interface for connecting external power supplies or other control signals. External energy and control signals can be input into the actuator through it, enabling interaction with external systems. It can be plugged into the inside of the lower housing 102. Together, 102 form a closed space, providing protection and a suitable installation environment for the internal electrical and mechanical components. The design of the upper shell 201 ensures that the internal components are protected from external factors such as dust and moisture, guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the system. The connector plug 202 is installed at the end of the upper shell 201, and its end can be accurately inserted into the middle of the connector socket 103, realizing the electrical connection between the drive component 200 and the mounting component 100. It is electrically connected to the main board 203 through wires, providing a reliable channel for the transmission of electrical energy and signals between the two, ensuring the overall connectivity of the system. The main board 203 is fixedly installed inside the upper shell 201 and is the core control part of the entire drive. It receives signals from the connector plug 202 and controls and manages other components based on these signals. The terminal block 204 is snapped into the side wall of the upper shell 201 and plugged into the interface side wall of the main board 203, providing a convenient interface for connecting other external devices or sensors. As a bridge between the main board 203 and external devices, it can realize the extended input or output of signals and power, increasing the scalability and flexibility of the system.

[0030] Specifically, the drive assembly 200 also includes a spring piece 205 fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the upper shell 201, and a pole piece 206 inserted into the middle side wall of the spring piece 205. The spring piece 205 is electrically connected to the motherboard 203 through a wire.

[0031] The spring contact 205 is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the upper shell 201. It is an elastic component and is electrically connected to the main board 203 via a wire. The main function of the spring contact 205 is to provide elastic contact for the electrode 206, ensuring a good electrical connection. When the electrode 206 is inserted into the middle sidewall of the spring contact 205, the elasticity of the spring contact 205 allows the two to make tight contact, reducing contact resistance and ensuring stable current transmission.

[0032] Furthermore, the protrusion at the end of the spring piece 205 is engaged in the groove in the side wall of the electrode piece 206. The spring pieces 205 are symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the electrode piece 206, and the side walls of the two sets of spring pieces 205 are electrically connected through the electrode piece 206.

[0033] In this circuit, the electrode 206 is inserted into the middle sidewall of the spring 205, and its sidewall groove engages with the protrusion at the end of the spring 205. The springs 205 on both sides are electrically connected through the electrode 206. The electrode 206 plays an important role in conducting current in the circuit, and its special engaging structure ensures the reliability and stability of the electrical connection.

[0034] Furthermore, the drive assembly 200 also includes a pull rod 207 mounted on the end of the electrode 206, with the end of the pull rod 207 inserted into the middle of the end through hole of the upper housing 201.

[0035] The design of the pull rod 207 works in conjunction with the spring 205 and the tension spring 208. By changing its position, the elastic state of the spring 205 can be changed, thereby affecting the connection state of the electrode 206 and realizing a certain electrical connection or disconnection control function. For example, in some cases, the circuit can be switched on or off or the electrical parameters can be adjusted by pulling the pull rod 207.

[0036] Preferably, the drive assembly 200 also includes a tension spring 208 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the upper housing 201, with the end of the tension spring 208 fixedly connected to the side wall of the pull rod 207.

[0037] The elasticity of the tension spring 208 provides a restoring force for the pull rod 207, enabling it to automatically return to its initial position after being subjected to external force, thus ensuring the consistency and reliability of the system's operation. When the pull rod 207 is pulled, the tension spring 208 is stretched, storing elastic potential energy; when the external force disappears, the tension spring 208 releases its elastic potential energy, causing the pull rod 207 to return to its original position, thereby realizing a simple elastic reset mechanism.

[0038] It should be noted that the drive assembly 200 also includes a plug rod 209 that is inserted into the side wall of the upper housing 201, and the side wall of the plug rod 209 is engaged with the inner side of the groove on the side wall of the pull rod 207.

[0039] The insertion rod 209 can play a positioning or limiting role. It can ensure that the pull rod 207 moves within a certain range, prevent the pull rod 207 from being over-displaced and affecting the normal operation of the entire system. It may also participate in the triggering or locking mechanism of certain operations to ensure the stability of the system under different working conditions.

[0040] Preferably, the mounting assembly 100 further includes a fixing plate 104 that is movably inserted into the side wall of the base 101, and a spring 105 that is fixedly connected to the middle position of the inner side of the base 101. The end of the spring 105 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing plate 104, and the side wall of the fixing plate 104 is provided with a stepped edge structure that matches the sliding groove of the side wall of the base 101.

[0041] The spring 105 is fixed at one end to the end of the fixed plate 104, and the side wall of the fixed plate 104 has a stepped edge structure that matches the sliding groove on the side wall of the base 101. The combined structure of the fixed plate 104 and the spring 105 can achieve buffering or shock absorption functions. When the driver is subjected to external vibration or impact, the spring 105 can absorb some energy, and the impact force is buffered by the movement of the fixed plate 104, reducing damage to internal components. At the same time, the stepped edge structure ensures that the fixed plate 104 slides smoothly in the sliding groove of the base 101, improving the impact resistance of the system.

[0042] In use, the mounting assembly 100 provides support and protection for the entire device. The base 101 supports the entire device, and the lower shell 102 is fixed in the middle of the base 101. The connector socket 103 in the lower shell 102 serves as the interface for external power and control signals. The drive assembly 200 is inserted into the inner side of the lower shell 102 through the upper shell 201, forming a closed internal space. The main board 203 inside the upper shell 201 is the core control unit. It connects to the connector plug 202 at the end of the upper shell 201 and the connector socket 103 in the lower shell 102 to receive external power and control signals. The main board 203 can be connected to other external devices or sensors through the terminal blocks 204 to expand system functionality. In the electrical connection between the main board 203 and other components, the spring contacts 20 on the inner sidewall of the upper shell 201... 5 plays a crucial role. The spring 205 is connected to the main board 203 through a wire. Its elastic structure can make close contact with the electrode 206. The electrode 206 is inserted into the middle side wall of the spring 205, and the two sets of springs 205 are electrically connected through the electrode 206 to ensure stable current transmission. The pull rod 207 at the end of the electrode 206 is inserted into the through hole at the end of the upper shell 201. The change in the position of the pull rod 207 will affect the elastic state of the spring 205, thereby affecting the connection state of the electrode 206 and realizing certain electrical control functions. At the same time, the tension spring 208 on the inner side wall of the upper shell 201 is connected to the pull rod 207 to provide a reset function for the pull rod 207 and ensure the repeatability of the operation. In addition, the insertion rod 209 is inserted into the side wall of the upper shell 201 and locked in the groove on the side wall of the pull rod 207, which plays a role in positioning and limiting the pull rod 207. In the mounting assembly 100, the fixing plate 104 is movably inserted into the side wall of the base 101 and connected to the spring 105 in the middle of the inner side of the base 101. The stepped edge structure of the side wall of the fixing plate 104 can slide smoothly in the sliding groove of the side wall of the base 101. When subjected to external vibration or impact, the spring 105 absorbs energy and the fixing plate 104 moves, thereby playing a role in buffering and shock absorption and protecting the internal components.

[0043] In summary, the entire intelligent garage micro roller drive features a compact structural design, organically combining the mounting component 100 and the drive component 200, reducing the device's size and enabling flexible installation within the limited space of an intelligent garage. It employs connector plugs 202 and connector sockets 103 for connection, as well as the elastic contact structure of spring contacts 205 and electrode plates 206, ensuring the reliability and stability of the electrical connection. The elasticity of spring contact 205 can accommodate certain manufacturing and installation errors, reducing contact problems caused by vibration or long-term use, ensuring stable power and signal transmission, and thus improving the overall reliability of the drive. Multiple connection methods, including plug-in, snap-fit, and fixed connections, are used between components, making installation and disassembly relatively simple and facilitating maintenance, replacement, or upgrades of individual components. For example, when it is necessary to inspect the main board 203 or other electrical components, the upper shell 201 can be relatively easily removed from the lower shell 102. The pluggable design of components such as the terminal blocks 204 and spring contacts 205 also facilitates troubleshooting and repair, reducing subsequent maintenance costs and time. The design of the pull rod 207 and the tension spring 208 provides the system with a certain degree of operational flexibility. The operation of the pull rod 207 can be used to adjust the electrical connection status, while the reset function of the tension spring 208 can ensure the convenience and repeatability of operation, thereby improving the adaptability of the driver under different operating conditions.
