Therefore, the terms used to describe positional relationships in the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a telescopic curtain motor, which includes a first drive component 20 and a control component 10. The first drive component 20 serves as the drive part for power output, and the control component 10 serves as the control part for signal and power control. The first drive component 20 and the control component 10 are two independent parts that can be easily assembled, enabling convenient maintenance. The control component 10 can be repaired, replaced, or upgraded independently, greatly improving the flexibility of use and the ease of upgrading of the curtain motor, thus enhancing the user experience. The first drive component 20 and the control component 10 are detachably connected and independently configured, facilitating independent maintenance of each part, especially the control component 10, which is highly convenient to disassemble and assemble.

[0035] The first drive assembly 20 includes a drive housing 22, a motor assembly 21, a first drive board 24, and a first connector 23. 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 its output terminal 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.

[0036] The control assembly 10 includes a control housing 13, a control board 16, a telescopic mechanism 15, and control buttons 11. The control board 16 and control buttons 11 are mounted on the control housing 13, and the telescopic mechanism 15 is slidably mounted on the control housing 13. The control buttons 11 are located on one side of the control housing 13 and can be extended or retracted by pressing. The telescopic mechanism 15 is equipped with a second connector 14, and the telescopic mechanism 15 can slide and retract along the control housing 13. Accordingly, the second connector 14 includes an extended position extending out of the control housing 13 and a retracted hidden position.

[0037] The second connector 14 is electrically connected to the control board 16. Pressing the control button 11 triggers the telescopic mechanism 15, which pushes the second connector 14 out of the control housing 13. The second connector 14 and the first connector 23 are then plugged into each other. The first drive assembly 20 and the control assembly 10 are connected via the first connector 23 and the second connector 14. The second connector 14 can be hidden inside or extended out of the control housing 13 via the telescopic mechanism 15, thus achieving dual functions. The control button 11 is located on one side of the control housing 13 as an independent trigger structure for convenient control of the telescopic mechanism 15.

[0038] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the control housing 13 is provided with a partition 131, and the partition 131 is provided with at least two positioning holes 132, which are spaced apart along the sliding direction of the telescopic mechanism 15. The partition 131 is located inside the control housing 13, and the main body of the control button 11 is movable between the partition 131 and the side wall of the control housing 13. The side wall of the control housing 13 is provided with a button hole, and the pressing part of the control button 11 extends out of or is flush with the pressing hole.

[0039] A portion of the telescopic mechanism 15 is laterally engaged with at least one positioning hole 132. The control button 11 pushes the telescopic mechanism 15 out of the engagement range of the positioning hole 132. The positioning hole 132 is located within the range of motion of the main body of the control button 11. When the control button 11 is pressed by an external force, the lateral engaging portion of the telescopic mechanism 15 disengages from the positioning hole 132, thereby releasing the telescopic mechanism 15 and pushing the second connector 14 out of the control housing 13.

[0040] In one embodiment, the telescopic mechanism 15 includes a sliding seat 151, a telescopic spring 152, a first spring 154 mounted on the sliding seat 151, and a positioning member 153 connected to the first spring 154. The first spring 154 elastically pushes the positioning member 153 against the partition 131, and the positioning member 153 is correspondingly embedded in the positioning hole 132 when the sliding seat 151 moves. The positioning member 153 elastically presses against the partition 131 under the elastic push of the first spring 154, and the positioning member 153 is a rigid member. The first spring 154 and the positioning member 153 are mounted on the sliding seat 151 and can move with the sliding seat 151. During the movement of the sliding seat 151, when the positioning member 153 and the positioning hole 132 are aligned, the first spring 154 elastically pushes the positioning member 153 partially embedded in the positioning hole 132, thereby preventing the sliding seat 151 from continuing to slide and realizing the snap-fit ​​positioning of the sliding seat 151.

[0041] Preferably, when there are two positioning holes 132, the positions of the positioning holes 132 correspond to the extended and hidden positions of the second connector 14, and the position of the second connector 14 can remain unchanged when the control button 11 is not unlocked.

[0042] The second connector 14 is installed on the sliding seat 151. The telescopic spring 152 is located at one end of the sliding seat 151 and elastically pushes against the sliding seat 151, thereby applying an elastic preload to the sliding seat 151. Under the action of the elastic preload, the sliding seat 151 tends to slide outward toward the control housing 13.

[0043] When the control button 11 is pressed and pushes the positioning part 153 to separate from the partition 131, the sliding seat 151 extends out of the control housing 13 under the elastic force of the telescopic spring 152, making the operation convenient and safe.

[0044] The control button 11 is pressed to unlock the positioning member 153, causing the positioning member 153 to disengage from the positioning hole 132. The pressing direction of the control button 11 intersects the sliding direction of the sliding seat 151. Optionally, the control button 11 is equipped with an unlocking plate, which has a protrusion corresponding to the positioning hole 132 to push the positioning member 153 away.

[0045] Optionally, the control button 11 is an integral structure, comprising a button body 111 and at least two unlocking posts 112 protruding from the button body 111. The unlocking posts 112 match the positioning holes 132, and a return spring 113 is provided between the control button 11 and the control housing 13. The unlocking posts 112 are rib structures, corresponding to the positions of the positioning holes 132, so that when the button body 111 is pressed, the unlocking posts 112 can extend into the positioning holes 132 to push the positioning member 153 at the positioning hole 132 to disengage, thereby realizing the unlocking function. After the external force on the control button 11 disappears, the return spring 113 drives the control button 11 to reset, so that the positioning member 153 can enter the other positioning hole 132 after moving with the sliding seat 151.

[0046] The control component 10 includes a power board 17 electrically connected to a power cord or a lithium battery. The power board 17 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 17.

[0047] Both the motor assembly 21 and the first drive plate 24 are installed inside the drive housing 22. By rationally arranging the relative positions of the motor assembly 21 and the first drive plate 24, the installation dimensions of the drive housing 22 can be adjusted. For example, the first drive plate 24 can be located at one end of the motor assembly 21, increasing the axial length of both; or, the first drive plate 24 can be located on one side of the motor assembly 21, with both arranged side by side, to reduce the axial length dimension.

[0048] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in one 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 first connector 23 is positioned facing the motor assembly 21, so that the insertion position is close to the center of the end face of the control housing 13.

[0049] Based on the above embodiments, the control component 10 further includes a latching mechanism 12 slidably mounted on the control housing 13. Sliding holes are provided on opposite sides of the control housing 13. The latching mechanism 12 includes at least one latching tongue 122 that extends and retracts within the sliding holes. The latching tongue 122 extends and retracts along the control housing 13 to extend or retract from the control housing 13 from both sides. The drive housing 22 is provided with a locking groove 221, and the latching tongue 122 matches the locking groove 221.

[0050] The second connector 14 and the first connector 23 are plugged into each other. The latching mechanism 12 slides along the control housing 13 to push the latching tongue 122 into the corresponding latching groove 221. Preferably, the drive housing 22 is provided with an assembly groove, and part of the control housing 13 is inserted into the drive housing 22, with the latching tongue 122 located within the insertion range of the control housing 13.

[0051] The latching mechanism 12 slides along the control housing 13 to drive the latching tongue 122 to extend and retract. When the latching tongue 122 extends, it inserts into the locking groove 221, thus connecting the drive housing 22 and the control housing 13. When the latching tongue 122 retracts, it disengages from the locking groove 221, allowing the drive housing 22 and the control housing 13 to be removed.

[0052] In one embodiment, the latching mechanism 12 includes a latching plate 121, at least one second elastic element 125 elastically abutting against the latching plate 121, a connecting rod 124 hinged to the latching plate 121, and a third elastic element 123 elastically pushing against the latching tongue 122. The connecting rod 124 is hinged to the latching tongue 122. The extension and retraction direction of the latching tongue 122 intersects the sliding direction of the latching plate 121, and the second elastic element 125 elastically pushes the latching plate 121 to slide on the control housing 13. Preferably, two latching tongues 122 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the latching plate 121, and the third elastic element 123 elastically pushes the latching tongue 122 protruding outward. Each latching tongue 122 is hinged to the latching plate 121 via the connecting rod 124, which is inclined to facilitate pulling and unfolding.

[0053] The control housing 13 is provided with a top mounting base 133, and a movable cavity is provided inside the top mounting base 133. The latching mechanism 12 is installed on the top mounting base 133 and moves within the movable cavity. The latching plate 121 is slidably limited within the control housing 13, and the latching tongues 122 are distributed on both sides of the latching plate 121. The latching plate 121 is pulled to extend and retract the latching tongues 122 via the connecting rod 124. The control housing 13 is provided with a first slide for the latching plate 121 to slide and a second slide for the latching tongues 122 to extend and retract. The first slide and the second slide intersect, preferably the first slide and the second slide are perpendicular to each other.

[0054] The second spring applies an elastic preload force to the latch plate 121, protruding outwards from the control housing 13. The connecting rod 124, under the tension of the latch plate 121, hinges and rotates, causing the latch tongue 122 to slide, thereby controlling the latch tongue 122 to engage and lock with the latching groove 221. The latch plate 121 includes a locked position where the latch tongue 122 engages with the drive housing 22, and an unlocked position where the latch tongue 122 disengages from the drive housing 22.

[0055] Part of the buckle plate 121 protrudes from the control housing 13. The buckle plate 121 and the control button 11 are on the same side to facilitate pressing operation, and the pressing direction is the same.

[0056] Furthermore, in the above embodiments, the telescopic curtain motor is applied to the unit, which includes the telescopic curtain motor and a second drive assembly. The second drive assembly includes a second drive board and a third connector, with the third connector electrically connected to the second drive board. The control assembly 10 includes a fourth connector, which is electrically connected to the control board 16, and a communication line is connected between the fourth connector and the third connector.

[0057] 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.

[0058] The structure of the second drive component can be the same as that of the first drive component 20, and the fourth connector and the third connector are connected by a communication line.

[0059] 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.

[0060] 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. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present invention that follow the general principles of the present invention and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein.
