[0033] The first drive assembly 20 includes a drive housing 22, a motor assembly 21, a first drive board 24, and a first connector 23, wherein the first drive board 24 is electrically connected to the first connector 23. The motor assembly 21 is mounted on the drive housing 22, and the output terminal of the motor assembly 21 is located at one end of the drive housing 22. The first connector 23 is located at the other end of the drive housing 22. Optionally, the first connector 23 is a USB interface or a Type-C interface.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the first drive plate 24 and the motor assembly 21 are electrically connected to control the operation of the motor assembly 21. In a preferred embodiment, the motor assembly 21 and the first drive plate 24 are arranged side by side, and the first connector 23 is located between the first drive plate 24 and the motor assembly 21. The side-by-side arrangement of the motor assembly 21 and the first drive plate 24 reduces the length dimension of the first drive assembly 20, and the insertion direction of the first connector 23 is the same as the length direction of the first drive plate 24, improving the utilization of longitudinal space.

[0035] Preferably, the drive housing 22 includes a top cover 223 and a base 222, with both ends of the first drive plate 24 respectively fitted and fixed to the top cover 223 and the base 222. The top cover 223 and the base 222 are arranged opposite to each other and can jointly define both ends of the motor assembly 21. Fitting grooves are provided on the top cover 223 and the base 222, and both ends of the first drive plate 24 are respectively embedded within the first drive plate 24.

[0036] The control assembly 10 includes a control housing 12, a control board 14 mounted on the control housing 12, a second connector 13, and a latching mechanism 11 slidably mounted on the control housing 12. The control board 14 and the second connector 13 are electrically connected. The control housing 12 is provided with at least one sliding hole 121, which is an elongated hole structure. The surface where the sliding hole 121 is located is used to abut against and fit the connection part of the first drive assembly 20.

[0037] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the latching mechanism 11 is slidably mounted on the control housing 12. The latching mechanism 11 is provided with at least one latching hook 111. The end of the latching hook 111 protrudes from the control housing 12 along the sliding hole 121. During the sliding process of the latching mechanism 11, the latching hook 111 slides along the sliding hole 121 with the latching mechanism 11 to be in different active positions.

[0038] The drive housing 22 has at least one snap-fit ​​hole 221, through which the second connector 13 and the first connector 23 are plugged in and connected. A snap-fit ​​hook 111 is inserted along the snap-fit ​​hole 221 and hooked into the drive housing 22. The control component 10 and the first drive component 20 are connected via the first connector 23 and the second connector 13 for signal transmission. Locking is achieved through the snap-fit ​​mechanism 11, enabling rapid disassembly and locking, greatly improving assembly and debugging efficiency.

[0039] In one embodiment, the latching mechanism 11 includes a latching plate 113 and at least one elastic member elastically abutting against the latching plate 113. The latching hook 111 matches the latching hole 221, and the elastic member elastically pushes the latching plate 113 to slide against the control housing 12. The latching plate 113 includes a locked posture in which the latching hook 111 engages with the drive housing 22; and an unlocked posture in which the latching hook 111 disengages from the drive housing 22.

[0040] Preferably, two elastic elements are provided, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the buckle plate 113, to apply symmetrical elastic preload, thereby improving the reset effect and elastic preload of the buckle plate 113. The elastic elements can be springs.

[0041] The elastic element applies an elastic preload force to the latching plate 113, which pushes against the latching hook 111 to engage with the drive housing 22, so that the latching plate 113 maintains the latched engagement posture. Under the action of external force, the latching plate 113 slides away from the drive housing 22, so that the first drive assembly 20 can be separated from the control assembly 10.

[0042] The protruding direction of the latch hook 111 intersects the sliding direction of the latch plate 113, and the end of the latch hook 111 is bent so that the latch hook 111 can engage with the drive housing 22 during the sliding process. The latch hook 111 protrudes from the sliding plane of the latch plate 113, and the bending direction of the latch hook 111 is towards the edge of the latch hole 221.

[0043] Preferably, four latching hooks 111 are provided. The four latching hooks 111 are distributed at the positions of the vertices of a rectangle or the vertices of a rhombus, so that the latching hooks 111 lock the drive housing 22 at multiple points, thereby improving the stability of the connection.

[0044] Furthermore, a control port is provided on one side of the control housing 12, and the latching plate 113 includes a guide portion 112, which slides in conjunction with the control housing 12, with at least a portion of the latching plate 113 extending out of the control housing 12. The guide portion 112 extends along the control port, and its end is located outside the control housing 12, allowing the user to manually press the guide portion 112 to unlock the latching hook 111 and the drive housing 22.

[0045] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the control housing 12 includes a control outer shell 125, a control mounting base 123 mounted on one end of the control outer shell 125, and a control cover plate 122. A sliding cavity is formed between the control mounting base 123 and the control cover plate 122. A latching plate 113 is slidably confined within the sliding cavity, and an elastic element elastically pushes against the control mounting base 123 and the latching plate 113. The opposite side surfaces of the latching plate 113 are confined between the control mounting base 123 and the control cover plate 122 to allow the latching plate 113 to move within a planar range and slide directionally within the engagement guide portion 112.

[0046] Furthermore, the control mounting base 123 includes a long, protruding guide boss 124; the guide boss 124 is located within the sliding cavity. The guide boss 124 can be configured as a flat, elongated, O-shaped, or rectangular annular rib to provide guidance and prevent overturning.

[0047] The buckle plate 113 includes a through guide hole, and a guide boss 124 is inserted into the guide hole. The length of the guide hole is greater than the length of the guide boss 124. The guide hole and the guide boss 124 are interlocked to guide the buckle plate 113 to slide linearly, providing good guidance and anti-tipping effects.

[0048] In one embodiment, the control component 10 includes a power board 15 electrically connected to a power cord or a lithium battery. The power board 15 is capable of power conversion and can be connected to mains power via a power cord; alternatively, the control component 10 has a built-in lithium battery, thereby enabling it to supply power to the first drive component 20 via the power board 15.

[0049] The control board 14 is connected to a network port 17 or a Type-C interface. The network port 17 can be connected to a 485 bus, or the Type-C interface can be connected to a 485 bus via an adapter.

[0050] Of course, it can also be a USB interface. Since the third interface corresponding to the communication cable is a USB interface, it will not be selected in this embodiment for the sake of distinction.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the curtain motor disclosed in the above embodiments is applied to the unit, wherein the unit includes a curtain motor and a second drive assembly, the second drive assembly includes a second drive board and a third connector, and the third connector is electrically connected to the second drive board.

[0052] The control component 10 includes a fourth connector 16, which is electrically connected to the control board 14, and a communication line is connected between the fourth connector 16 and the third connector.

[0053] The control component 10 can control the first drive component 20 and the second drive component simultaneously or individually, thus realizing the communication connection between the electric curtains on the two tracks.

[0054] The structure of the second drive component can be the same as that of the first drive component 20, and the fourth connector 16 is connected to the third connector via a communication line.

[0055] The control component 10 can be selected from either the first drive component 20 or the second drive component, with either one being electrically connected to the control component 10, and the other being connected to the control component 10 via a communication line.

[0056] Other embodiments of the present invention will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the disclosure herein.
