Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of roller blind technology, specifically to a friction balancer. Background Technology
[0002] With concerns about child safety in cordless systems, various countries have enacted laws mandating the use of cordless roller blinds and other sun-shading products. The main driving mechanism of a cordless roller blind system is a torsion spring mounted on the roller tube. By adjusting the upward torque generated by the torsion spring, the upward torque is supposed to balance the downward torque generated by the blind fabric and bottom rail, thus allowing the blind to stop at its designated position. However, in reality, there is always a difference between these two torques, and even with a torsion spring tailored to the specific dimensions of the blind, perfect balance cannot be achieved. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a one-way torsion spring clutch-type friction balancer that achieves complete balance between the upward and downward torques, thereby making the stopping position of the roller shutter more precise.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A one-way torsion spring clutch-type friction balancer includes a stepped fixed shaft, a one-way torsion spring clutch, a friction resistance plate, a friction resistance tube, a coiled tube connector, and a limiting screw. The one-way torsion spring clutch is mounted on the stepped fixed shaft. The friction resistance plate is installed in a fixed groove on the outer wall of the friction resistance tube. The friction resistance tube is mounted on the stepped fixed shaft, and the one-way torsion spring clutch is located inside the friction resistance tube. The stepped fixed shaft passes through the coiled tube connector and is threadedly connected to the limiting screw. The friction resistance tube is located inside the coiled tube connector, and the friction resistance plate contacts the inner wall of the coiled tube connector. When the roller shutter moves upward, the coiled tube connector drives the friction resistance tube to rotate, and the friction resistance tube drives the one-way torsion spring clutch, which rotates relative to the stepped fixed shaft. When the roller shutter moves downward, the one-way torsion spring clutch does not rotate relative to the stepped fixed shaft, and the coiled tube connector rotates relative to the friction resistance tube. The friction resistance plate provides frictional resistance to the rotating coiled tube connector.
[0006] Furthermore, the outer wall of the friction resistance tube is provided with a plurality of fixed grooves distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction, and the fixed grooves are provided with the friction resistance plates.
[0007] Furthermore, a snap-fit groove is formed on the inner wall of the friction resistance tube, and one end of the one-way torsion spring clutch is bent outward and extends into the snap-fit groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the snap-fit groove is an elongated snap-fit groove that extends from one end of the friction resistance tube to the other end of the friction resistance tube.
[0009] Furthermore, the groove is parallel to the axis of the friction resistance tube.
[0010] Furthermore, the end of the stepped fixed shaft is provided with a circular limiting baffle.
[0011] Furthermore, the end face of the coiled tube connector is provided with an annular groove, and the circular limiting baffle is located in the annular groove.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] This application uses a one-way torsion spring clutch to provide different frictional resistances to the roller blind head, so as to meet the resistance requirements of the roller blind during the rising and falling process. At this time, a friction balancer needs to be installed on the roller tube to compensate for the difference between the pulling torque and the pulling torque, so as to achieve the balance between the two, thereby achieving the purpose of the roller blind stopping precisely at the desired position.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a one-way torsion spring clutch-type friction balancer includes a stepped fixed shaft 1, a one-way torsion spring clutch 2, a friction resistance plate 3, a friction resistance tube 4, a coiled tube connector 5, and a limiting screw 6. The stepped fixed shaft 1 has a circular limiting baffle 7 at its end, and the coiled tube connector 5 has an annular groove 9 on its end face, with the circular limiting baffle 7 located in the annular groove 9. The one-way torsion spring clutch 2 is mounted on the stepped fixed shaft 1. The friction resistance plate 3 is installed in a fixing groove 8 on the outer wall of the friction resistance tube 4. Multiple fixing grooves 8 are spaced circumferentially on the outer wall of the friction resistance tube 4, and the friction resistance plate 3 is disposed within each fixing groove 8. The friction resistance tube 4 is mounted on the stepped fixed shaft 1, and the one-way torsion spring clutch 2 is located inside the friction resistance tube 4. The stepped fixed shaft 1 passes through the coiled tube connector 5 and is threadedly connected to the limiting screw 6. The friction resistance tube 4 is located inside the coiled tube connector 5, and the friction resistance plate 3 is in contact with the inner wall of the coiled tube connector 5.
[0025] A snap-fit groove 10 is formed on the inner wall of the friction resistance tube 4. One end of the one-way torsion spring clutch 2 is bent outward and extends into the snap-fit groove 10. The snap-fit groove 10 is an elongated snap-fit groove that extends from one end of the friction resistance tube 4 to the other end, and the snap-fit groove 10 is parallel to the axis of the friction resistance tube 4. This design facilitates the snap-fit of the end of the one-way torsion spring clutch and also facilitates the installation of the friction resistance tube 4.
[0026] When the roller blind moves upward, the roller tube connector 5 drives the friction resistance tube 4 to rotate, and the friction resistance tube 4 drives the one-way torsion spring clutch 2 to rotate relative to the stepped fixed shaft 1. When the roller blind moves downward, the one-way torsion spring clutch 2 does not rotate relative to the stepped fixed shaft 1, and the roller tube connector 5 rotates relative to the friction resistance tube 4. The friction resistance plate 3 provides friction resistance to the rotating roller tube connector 5 to balance the upward and downward torques.
