[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of this application. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, and the combined embodiments are still within the protection scope of this application.
[0032] While current electric roller shutters have achieved electrification and structural optimization, significant shortcomings remain in safety protection. If a person or object is located beneath the door, it cannot automatically stop, posing a risk of injury. To address these issues, this application provides an electric roller shutter drive assembly that can lock the roller shutter when an object is detected beneath it.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, this application embodiment provides an electric roller blind drive assembly, including a mounting shaft 31, which is disposed at the top of a mounting frame 1 and is used to mount the roller blind assembly. A drive motor 3 is disposed on one side of the mounting shaft 31 and is used to drive the mounting shaft 31 to rotate the roller blind assembly. Lifting grooves 11 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the mounting frame 1. The roller blind assembly includes a roller blind tube disposed on the mounting shaft 31 and a plurality of parallel roller blind strips 2 wound and mounted on the roller blind tube. Sliding plates 21 are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the roller blind strips 2 and are used to slide within the lifting grooves 11. A braking structure is disposed in the lifting groove 11 on at least one side of the mounting frame 1. A detection element is disposed at the end of the mounting frame 1 near the ground and is used to detect the obstruction of the bottom of the mounting frame 1. The detection element and the braking structure are electrically connected. The detection component can monitor the obstruction below the roller shutter in real time. When an object or person is detected, the braking structure responds quickly, locking the roller shutter by inserting slider 411 between two adjacent sliding plates 21. This effectively prevents pinching accidents and improves safety. No manual intervention is required; the system automatically detects and reacts, enhancing the intelligence of the electric roller shutter and making it more convenient to use. During normal use, when the roller shutter rises to its highest position and opens, slider 411 can be driven to insert between two adjacent sliding plates 21 to secure the roller shutter and prevent it from accidentally sliding down.
[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3The braking structure includes a slide groove 13 and a slider 411. The slider 411 slides horizontally in the slide groove 13 so that the slider 411 is placed in the slide groove 13 or extends between two adjacent slide plates 21. The slider 411 is connected to a rack 412, which meshes with a gear 41. The gear 41 is driven to rotate by a driving member. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure where the slider 411 is placed inside the groove 13. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure where the slider 411 extends between two adjacent sliders 21. The braking structure also includes a connecting groove 12 disposed inside the lifting groove 11. The connecting groove 12 connects to the sliding groove 13 and is disposed along the lifting groove 11. Figure 4 As shown, gear 41 is coaxially connected to the first sprocket, which is connected to the second sprocket 43 via chain 42. The second sprocket 43 is located at the other end of the connecting groove 12, and chain 42 is placed inside the connecting groove 12. The shaft of the second sprocket 43 passes through the mounting bracket 1 and connects to the drive component. The drive component is configured as a brake motor or handle (44), which can be manually operated to drive gear 41 to rotate in case of power failure or malfunction, controlling slider 411 to brake or release, enhancing the flexibility of the braking structure and emergency operation capability, ensuring that the roller shutter can be controlled as needed under different conditions. Furthermore, as... Figure 1 As shown, handle 44 is positioned in a location easily accessible to the operator, making operation convenient.
[0035] Specifically, the shaft of the second sprocket 43 is provided with a snap-fit groove, and the handle 44 is provided with a snap-fit block. The snap-fit block of the handle 44 is placed in the snap-fit groove to connect the handle 44 and the second sprocket 43. When manual operation is not required, the handle 44 can be removed to prevent accidental contact and reduce space occupation.
[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the detection components include an infrared emitting device 5 and an infrared receiving device positioned opposite each other on both sides of the mounting frame 1. The infrared detection has a fast response speed and can accurately acquire information about bottom obstruction.
[0037] Specifically, mounting bracket 1 has mounting slots on both sides for mounting the infrared transmitter 5 or the infrared receiver 5. Each mounting slot has several elongated mounting holes. These holes allow for easy adjustment of the infrared transmitter and receiver positions according to actual installation needs, ensuring accurate alignment and improving detection precision.
[0038] Specifically, a motor housing is provided on one side of the top of the mounting bracket 1. The motor housing is used to house the drive motor 3. The mounting shaft 31 passes through the mounting bracket 1 and extends into the motor housing to connect to the drive motor 3. The motor housing is a sealed enclosure. The sealed design effectively prevents dust, moisture, etc. from entering, protecting the normal operation of the drive motor and extending its service life.
[0039] Specifically, a stop 413 is provided at the end of the rack 412, and the stop 413 is positioned facing the gear 41. When the rack 412 moves to the end, the stop can prevent the rack 412 from disengaging from the gear 41, ensuring that the rack 412 and the gear 41 are always meshed, thus ensuring the normal operation of the braking structure.
[0040] Specifically, a pressure sensor is installed on the surface of the last roller blind slat 2 facing the ground, away from the mounting shaft 31. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to the braking structure and the drive motor 3. When an object touches the roller blind slat 2 and applies pressure during the descent of the roller blind, the pressure sensor can detect and feed back a signal in time, controlling the braking structure to make the slider 411 extend into the space between the sliders 21 to brake, and controlling the drive motor 3 to stop running, or to reverse and make the roller blind rise, effectively preventing the roller blind from pinching objects or people, further improving the safety and intelligence level of the roller blind, and is especially suitable for areas with frequent personnel activity.
[0041] The working process of the electric roller blind drive assembly provided in this application embodiment is as follows: When the roller blind needs to be opened, the drive motor 3 starts, driving the mounting shaft 31 to rotate, and the roller blind tube rotates accordingly, causing the roller blind slats 2 to rise. When the roller blind rises to the highest position and opens, the brake motor drives the gear 41 to rotate, which drives the slider 411 to move forward through the rack 412 and extend between two adjacent sliders 21, fixing the roller blind and preventing it from accidentally sliding down. During the roller blind's descent and closing process, when the detection component detects an obstruction at the bottom of the mounting frame 1, the brake motor drives the gear 41 to rotate clockwise, which drives the slider 411 to move to the left through the rack 412 and extend between two adjacent sliders 21, locking the roller blind. At the same time, the drive motor 3 is controlled to stop running or reverse to raise the roller blind, preventing pinching injuries. In the event of a power outage or malfunction, the handle 44 can drive the second sprocket 43 to rotate, which in turn drives the first sprocket and gear 41 to rotate, controlling the slider 411 to brake or release.
[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
