[0029] (Example 1)

[0030] See Figure 1-4 An electric retractable sliding curtain includes a retractable track, a belt 1, and a main drive box 2 and a secondary drive box 3 respectively disposed at both ends of the retractable track. The main drive box 2 and the secondary drive box 3 are connected by the belt 1. Two belt trolleys 4 are disposed in the retractable track. The two ends of the belt 1 are fixedly connected to the two belt trolleys 4 respectively. The two belt trolleys 4 are fixedly connected by belt trolley connectors 5. The belt trolleys 4 drive the curtain slats 6 to slide along the retractable track.

[0031] Specifically, the curtain slat 6 is equipped with a curtain slat pulley 7, and two belt pulleys 4 are respectively located on both sides of the curtain slat pulley 7. Regardless of the direction the belt 1 travels, it can drive the curtain slat pulley 7 to move. The movable curtain slat in this embodiment is prior art; the configuration described in Chinese Patent Application No. 202322352107X can be referenced. The curtain slat pulley 7 located between the two belt pulleys 4 is the first curtain slat during movement.

[0032] A drive unit 8 is installed on the main transmission box 2, and a main drive wheel 9 is installed in the main transmission box 2. The main drive wheel 9 is located at the output end of the drive unit 8, and the belt 1 passes over the main drive wheel 9. A secondary drive wheel 10 is installed in the secondary transmission box 3, and the belt 1 passes over the secondary drive wheel 10.

[0033] The retractable track includes an outer rail 11, a middle rail 12, and an inner rail 13; the middle rail 12 is slidably connected to the outer rail 11 along the length of the outer rail 11; the inner rail 13 is slidably connected to the middle rail 12 along the length of the middle rail 12; one end of the outer rail 11 and the inner rail 13 is fixedly connected to the main transmission box 2, and one end of the middle rail 12 is fixedly connected to the auxiliary transmission box 3; the belt trolley 4 slides in the cavity of the middle rail 12 and the inner rail 13.

[0034] The inner rail 13 includes a first inner rail 13-1 and a second inner rail 13-2 arranged in parallel. The middle rail 12 includes a first middle rail cavity 12-1 and a second middle rail cavity 12-2 arranged in parallel. The first inner rail 13-1 cooperates with the first middle rail cavity 12-1, and the second inner rail 13-2 cooperates with the second middle rail cavity 12-2.

[0035] The first inner rail 13-1 is provided with a first fixed pulley 15 at the end away from the main transmission box 2, and the first middle rail cavity 12-1 is provided with a second fixed pulley 16 at the end away from the auxiliary transmission box 3. The belt 1 passes around the main transmission wheel 9, the first fixed pulley 15, the second fixed pulley 16 and the auxiliary transmission wheel 10 in sequence.

[0036] Both the first inner rail 13-1 and the first middle rail cavity 12-1 are provided with belt grooves 14. The belt groove 14 in the first inner rail 13-1 is located close to the second inner rail 13-2, while the belt groove 14 in the first middle rail cavity 12-1 is located away from the second middle rail cavity 12-2. After the belt 1 passes over the main drive wheel 9, one side enters the belt groove 14 of the first inner rail 13-1, and the other side enters the second inner rail 13-2. Since the belt groove 14 in the first inner rail 13-1 is located close to the second inner rail 13-2, a conventionally sized drive wheel can be used for the main drive wheel 9. At the other end, after the belt 1 passes over the auxiliary drive wheel 10, one side enters the belt groove 14 in the first middle rail cavity 12-1, and the other side enters the second middle rail cavity 12-2. Since the belt groove 14 in the first middle rail cavity 12-1 is far away from the second middle rail cavity 12-2, if a single auxiliary drive wheel 10 is used, the diameter of the auxiliary drive wheel 10 is almost twice that of the main drive wheel 9, and the auxiliary drive box 3 would need to be set to be larger and more abrupt. Therefore, the auxiliary drive wheel 10 uses two pulleys in parallel.

[0037] The belt trolley 4 is located on one side of the second inner rail 13-2 and the second middle rail cavity 12-2. The entire telescopic track can be roughly divided into upper and lower layers. The upper layer is used to thread the belt 1, and the lower layer has a track for the belt trolley 4 and the curtain trolley 7 to slide. On one side of the first inner rail 13-1 and the first middle rail cavity 12-1, due to the presence of the first fixed pulley 15 and the second fixed pulley 16, a partition is used to separate the upper and lower layers. At the same time, the upper layer facilitates the fixing of the first fixed pulley 15 and the second fixed pulley 16, while the track in the lower layer is used for the sliding of the curtain trolley 7. On the side of the second inner rail 13-2 and the second middle rail cavity 12-2, since the belt 1 and the belt trolley 4 need to be fixed, the upper and lower layers are connected.

[0038] In this embodiment, the two ends of the belt 1 are fixedly connected to two belt pulleys 4 respectively. The two belt pulleys 4 are fixedly connected by belt pulley connectors 5. Since the belt 1 is not a whole piece, one end of the belt 1 can be fixed to one belt pulley 4 first, and after the winding is completed, the other end of the belt 1 can be fixed to another belt pulley 4. This greatly reduces the difficulty of operation when installing or replacing the belt 1.

[0039] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
