Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clutch structure technology, and more specifically, to a clutch control system. Furthermore, this utility model also relates to a manual / automatic window opener that includes the aforementioned clutch control system. Background Technology

[0002] A manual clutch mechanism is a device that requires an operator to control the engagement and disengagement of the clutch through mechanical operation (such as pressing a pedal). An electric clutch mechanism uses a motor to drive the clutch to engage and disengage. It reduces reliance on mechanical operation, controlling the clutch's working state through the forward and reverse rotation of the motor or by the motor driving a screw or other transmission mechanism.

[0003] Manual clutch mechanisms are relatively cumbersome to operate and require a high level of technical skill from operators. Electric clutch mechanisms, on the other hand, have a complex structure. Since electric clutch mechanisms rely on electronic components and electrical systems, the entire clutch system may fail if the motor, controller, sensor, or related wiring malfunctions.

[0004] In summary, how to combine manual and electric clutch mechanisms is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a clutch control system that, when the motor drives the worm gear to rotate, drives the gear carrier to rotate so that the second gear meshes with the reduction gear set, thereby driving the second gear and the reduction gear set to rotate. When the motor stops, the reduction gear set can be manually rotated in the reverse direction to passively disengage the gear carrier from the worm gear.

[0006] Another objective of this invention is to provide a manual / automatic integrated window opener that includes the aforementioned clutch control system.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0012] A combined gear is rotatably connected to the gear carrier, and the combined gear meshes with the first gear and the second gear;

[0013] A reduction gear set, which meshes with the first gear or the second gear;

[0014] The motor has a worm gear at its end, which meshes with the combined gear. The motor is used to drive the gear carrier and the combined gear to rotate through the worm gear.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] The core of this utility model is to provide a clutch control system that can combine an electric clutch mechanism and a manual clutch mechanism, enabling clutch engagement and disengagement not only through electric clutch but also through manual clutch operation.

[0032] Another core aspect of this invention is to provide a manual / automatic integrated window opener that includes the aforementioned clutch control system.

[0033] It should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "upper", "lower", "front", and "rear" is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and is only for the purpose of facilitating the description of this application and simplifying the description. It is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0034] This application provides a clutch control system, comprising: a gear carrier 1, a first gear 2, a second gear 3, a combination gear 4, a reduction gear set, and a motor 5;

[0035] Among them, gear carrier 1 is the base of the clutch control system;

[0036] The first gear 2 is rotatably connected to the gear carrier 1;

[0037] The second gear 3 is rotatably connected to the gear carrier 1. The first gear 2 and the second gear 3 are arranged side by side on the gear carrier 1, and the gear carrier 1 is arranged to enclose the first gear 2 and the second gear 3.

[0038] The combined gear 4 is rotatably connected to the gear carrier 1, and the combined gear 4 meshes with the first gear 2 and the second gear 3;

[0039] The reduction gear set meshes with either the first gear 2 or the second gear 3;

[0040] The motor 5 has a worm gear 6 at its end, which meshes with the combination gear 4. The motor 5 is used to drive the gear carrier 1 and the combination gear 4 to rotate through the worm gear 6.

[0041] Specifically, the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 are mounted on the gear carrier 1, and a combination gear 4 is disposed between the first gear 2 and the second gear 3. The combination gear 4 meshes with the first gear 2 and the second gear 3, and the gear carrier 1, the first gear 2, the second gear 3, and the combination gear 4 can be combined to form a configuration as follows: Figure 1 The clutch mechanism shown has a worm gear 6 at the end of the motor 5, which meshes with the combination gear 4. When the motor 5 is energized, it can drive the worm gear 6 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. When the motor 5 is energized, the worm gear 6 drives the clutch mechanism to rotate clockwise to a predetermined angle, and the second gear 3 meshes with the reduction gear set, so that the reduction gear set follows the second gear 3. When the motor 5 is energized and rotates counterclockwise, the rotation of the worm gear 6 drives the clutch mechanism to rotate counterclockwise to a predetermined angle, so that the first gear 2 meshes with the reduction gear set, so that the reduction gear set follows the first gear 2 to rotate in the opposite direction. After the motor 5 is de-energized, the reduction gear set can be manually rotated in the opposite direction, so that the clutch mechanism and the reduction gear set are passively disengaged, thus achieving manual disengagement.

[0042] Based on the above embodiment, the gear frame 1 includes an upper plate and a lower plate, which are fixedly connected. The upper plate is provided with a first circular hole 101 and a second circular hole 102, and the lower plate is also provided with a third circular hole 103 and a fourth circular hole 104 corresponding to the first circular hole 101 and the second circular hole 102. A first pin 105 for installing the first gear 2 is provided in the first circular hole 101 and the third circular hole 103, and a second pin 106 for installing the second gear 3 is provided in the second circular hole 102 and the fourth circular hole 104.

[0043] Specifically, the structure of gear carrier 1 can be found in the attached diagram. Figure 1 With appendix Figure 2 The upper and lower plates have identical structures and are fixedly connected by a connecting part. The upper and lower plates are arranged parallel to each other to ensure that the distance between each position is the same. The upper plate is provided with a first circular hole 101 and a second circular hole 102, and the lower plate is provided with a corresponding third circular hole 103 and a fourth circular hole 104. The two ends of the first pin 105 are respectively installed in the first circular hole 101 and the third circular hole 103, and the two ends of the second pin 106 are respectively installed in the second circular hole 102 and the fourth circular hole 104. The first pin 105 and the second pin 106 are used to install the first gear 2 and the second gear 3, respectively. The first pin 105 and the second pin 106 are both perpendicular to the upper and lower plates.

[0044] Based on the above embodiment, both the upper plate and the lower plate are provided with through holes 13 in the middle. The combined gear 4 includes a third gear 401 and a fourth gear 402. The third gear 401 and the fourth gear 402 are fixedly connected. The third gear 401 passes through the through hole 13 and meshes with the first gear 2 and the second gear 3. The fourth gear 402 meshes with the worm gear 6.

[0045] For details, please refer to the appendix. Figure 2A through hole 13 is provided in the middle of the upper plate and the lower plate. The combined gear 4 is formed by connecting the third gear 401 and the fourth gear 402, which are set on the same axis. The size of the third gear 401 is smaller than that of the fourth gear 402. The third gear 401 is set through the two through holes 13. The fourth gear 402 meshes with the worm 6. When the motor 5 drives the worm 6 to rotate, the fourth gear 402 will rotate with the rotation of the worm 6. The fourth gear 6 drives the third gear 401 to rotate at the same time.

[0046] In some embodiments, the angle between the line connecting the center of the first circular hole 101 and the center of the through hole 13 of the upper plate, and the line connecting the center of the second circular hole 102 and the center of the through hole 13 of the upper plate, is 150°, and the angle between the line connecting the center of the third circular hole 103 and the center of the through hole 13 of the lower plate, and the line connecting the center of the fourth circular hole 104 and the center of the through hole 13 of the lower plate, is 150°.

[0047] For details, please refer to the appendix. Figure 2 A through hole 13 is provided between the first circular hole 101 and the second circular hole 102. The center connecting line of the first circular hole 101 and the center connecting line of the second circular hole 102 and the through hole 13 has an obtuse angle of 150°. It should be noted that the 150° setting is only an illustration of one embodiment of this application. The specific angle can be adjusted according to the gear diameter of the first gear 2 and the second gear 3.

[0048] In some embodiments, the reduction gear set includes a second-stage gear 7, a third-stage gear 8, a fourth-stage gear 9, a fifth-stage gear 10, and a sixth-stage gear 11 that mesh in sequence, and a square shaft hole 1101 is provided on the central shaft of the sixth-stage gear 11.

[0049] Specifically, this application describes two embodiments. The first is when the clutch control system of this application is applied to a lever motor; please refer to the appendix. Figure 3The reduction gear set includes a second-stage gear 7, a third-stage gear 8, a fourth-stage gear 9, a fifth-stage gear 10, and a sixth-stage gear 11. The second-stage gear 7 to the sixth-stage gear 11 mesh sequentially. A square shaft hole 1101 is provided on the central shaft of the sixth-stage gear 11. When the lever motor is in use, there are two processes: electric engagement and manual disengagement. Electric engagement refers to the motor 5 being powered on, which drives the clutch mechanism to rotate clockwise to a predetermined angle through the rotation of the worm gear 6. The second gear 3 meshes with the second-stage gear 7, causing the reduction gear set to rotate accordingly. When the motor 5 is powered on in reverse, the worm gear 6 rotates the clutch mechanism to rotate counterclockwise to a predetermined angle, and the first gear 2 meshes with the second-stage gear 7, causing the reduction gear set to rotate in the opposite direction. The manual disengagement process refers to the process where, after the motor is stopped, the sixth-stage gear 11 can be rotated in reverse by inserting a square shaft into the square shaft hole 81, thereby driving the reduction gear set to rotate in the opposite direction and causing the clutch mechanism to disengage passively, thus achieving motor disengagement when manually cranked.

[0050] Based on the above embodiment, the sixth gear 11 is fixedly connected to the rocker arm 12.

[0051] Specifically, the clutch control system of this application is applicable to the second embodiment, that is, to the case of a swing-out / inward-reversing motor. Please refer to the appendix. Figure 4 The process also includes two steps: electric engagement and manual disengagement. The electric engagement process is the same and will not be described in detail here. The manual disengagement process is different: In the horizontal / inward-reversing motor, the sixth gear 11 is connected to the rocker arm 12. The manual disengagement process refers to rotating the rocker arm 12 in the opposite direction after the motor is stopped from being powered on, thereby driving the reduction gear set to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the clutch mechanism is passively disengaged, thus realizing the motor disengagement when manually cranked.

[0052] Based on the above embodiments, it also includes an outer casing, and the gear frame 1, the first gear 2, the second gear 3, the combined gear 4, the reduction gear set and the motor 5 are all disposed in the outer casing.

[0053] For details, please refer to the appendix. Figure 3 With appendix Figure 4 The clutch control system of this application is not a standalone system. It is generally applicable to structures such as lever motors, swing / inward reversing motors, etc. Therefore, the clutch control system is generally set inside its housing, while the rocker arm 12 and other structures are set outside the housing. The housing can isolate and protect the entire clutch control system, prevent it from being directly exposed to the external environment, and extend its service life.

[0054] In addition to the clutch control system described above, this utility model also provides a manual / automatic integrated window opener that includes the clutch control system disclosed in the above embodiments. For the structure of other parts of the manual / automatic integrated window opener, please refer to the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0055] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0056] The clutch control system and manual / automatic window opener provided by this utility model have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
