Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of curtain top beam technology, specifically a curtain top beam. Background Technology
[0002] In modern homes and offices, curtains are a common decorative and functional item, serving purposes such as blocking light, protecting privacy, and decorating the space. The curtain top beam, as a crucial support structure for curtain installation, directly impacts the curtain's performance and lifespan due to its structural design and reliability. Traditional curtain top beams typically require a groove at the top for easy installation and removal of internal components, such as the rolling mechanism. However, current technology often falls short in sealing this groove. A sealing plate is generally used to enclose the groove, resulting in a simple seal between the plate and the beam, usually relying solely on the fit between a sealing lip and the groove. This method offers low sealing strength and, over time, is susceptible to external environmental factors such as dust and rain. Impurities or water stains can penetrate the beam through gaps in the seal. The beam typically houses components for the curtain rolling mechanism, such as the roller and transmission mechanism. If these components are contaminated by impurities or corroded by water, they can experience accelerated wear, impaired transmission, or even rust and damage, ultimately affecting the normal use of the curtain and shortening the lifespan of the top beam and the entire curtain system. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a curtain top beam, which solves the problem that the sealing strength of the disassembly groove opened at the top of the traditional curtain top beam is low, affecting the internal sealing of the beam and causing external impurities or water stains to enter the beam and affect the internal components.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a curtain top beam, including a beam body with a hollow roll-up cavity. The bottom wall of the beam body has a through groove communicating with the roll-up cavity along its length. The top wall of the beam body has a disassembly groove communicating with the roll-up cavity along its length. The top wall of the beam body is covered with a sealing plate for closing the disassembly groove. The beam body has two sealing grooves along its length. The sealing plate has sealing lips corresponding to the two sealing grooves. The sealing lips are tightly fitted with the sealing grooves. Both sealing grooves are connected to both ends of the beam body to form sliding openings for the sealing lips to be inserted into the sealing grooves. The beam body is provided with a loading member for applying force to the sealing lips to ensure a tight fit between the outer peripheral wall of the sealing lip and the inner peripheral wall of the sealing groove.
[0005] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: By setting a sealing plate with a sealing lip on the top wall of the beam and applying force to the sealing lip with the help of the loading component, the sealing strength of the disassembly groove is significantly improved. That is, the expansion and tightening of the sealing lip and the sealing groove, combined with the continuous pressure of the loading component, can effectively prevent external dust, rainwater and other impurities from entering the winding cavity inside the beam through the sealing gap. This avoids problems such as increased wear and running jams caused by pollution or corrosion of internal rollers, transmission mechanisms and other components, thereby extending the service life of the curtain beam and the entire curtain system. At the same time, the sliding mouth design at both ends of the sealing groove facilitates the installation and disassembly of the sealing lip, taking into account both assembly convenience and structural sealing. This allows the beam to be maintained without damaging the sealing structure, optimizing the user experience of the product. The setting of the loading component forms a dynamic sealing compensation mechanism, which can adapt to the deformation of components caused by vibration and temperature difference during long-term use, ensuring the stability of the sealing effect and meeting the waterproof and dustproof needs of multiple scenarios such as home and office.
[0006] The present invention further comprises: the radial cross section of the sealing lip is arranged in an "L" shape and divided into a horizontal part and a vertical part; the horizontal part and the vertical part are perpendicularly connected and a first step surface is formed between them; the shape of the sealing groove is adapted to the shape of the sealing lip and a second step surface is formed on the inner peripheral wall of the sealing groove for tightly fitting with the first step surface; and the vertical part is connected to the bottom wall of the sealing plate.
[0007] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: The sealing lip adopts a radial cross-section "L" shape design. The first step surface formed by the horizontal and vertical parts fits tightly with the second step surface in the sealing groove, realizing a multi-dimensional sealing fit. Compared with traditional planar seals, the stepped surface structure increases the sealing contact area, which can effectively disperse external pressure and reduce the sealing failure problem caused by single-point stress concentration. The connection design between the vertical part and the bottom wall of the sealing plate allows the sealing lip to maintain a stable geometric shape during installation, avoiding sealing offset caused by sealing plate deformation. The shape compatibility between the sealing groove and the sealing lip ensures the fitting accuracy of the two during expansion and tightening, further improving the reliability of the sealing structure.
[0008] This utility model further includes: limiting grooves are formed on both sides of the beam along the length of the beam; limiting plates are movably arranged in the limiting grooves; the limiting grooves are connected to both ends of the beam and form limiting openings for the limiting plates to be inserted; a loading groove is connected between the limiting grooves and the sealing grooves; the loading component includes a loading block disposed in the loading groove; the loading block is made of elastic material and its top end is a loading end for abutting against the bottom wall of the horizontal section; both sides of the bottom end of the loading block are smoothly curved and connected to the bottom wall of the loading block to form a force-bearing surface, and the combined radial cross section of the two force-bearing surfaces is conical; the limiting plate has a mating groove along the length of the beam; both sides of the mating groove are smoothly curved and connected to the bottom wall of the mating groove to form a loading surface, and the combined radial cross section of the two loading surfaces is conical; the two force-bearing surfaces correspond one-to-one with the two loading surfaces and are abutting against each other.
[0009] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: The above technology constructs an adjustable elastic loading system through the cooperation of the limiting groove, limiting plate, and elastic loading block. The conical force-bearing surface of the loading block abuts against the loading surface of the limiting plate, allowing the limiting plate to move along the length of the beam. This conical structure converts the external force into radial pressure on the loading block, thereby pushing the loading end at the top of the loading block to continuously press against the horizontal part of the sealing lip. In other words, the elastic loading block can adapt to the small displacement of the sealing lip through its own deformation, forming dynamic sealing compensation and avoiding wear of the sealing lip caused by rigid contact. Simultaneously, the force transmission mechanism of the conical surface can uniformly amplify the moving force of the limiting plate, achieving efficient loading of the sealing lip with a smaller limiting plate stroke, thus improving the reliability of the sealing structure. Furthermore, the setting of the limiting groove and limiting port facilitates the overall installation and disassembly of the loading component. During maintenance, the loading force can be adjusted simply by sliding the limiting plate, significantly reducing subsequent maintenance costs and adapting to sealing pressure requirements under different working conditions.
[0010] The present invention further includes: a sealing gasket wrapped around the outer peripheral wall of the horizontal part, the sealing gasket being made of waterproof sealing rubber material, and the sealing lip being made of metal material.
[0011] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: The technology uses a waterproof rubber sealing gasket wrapped around the outer periphery of the sealing lip, while employing a metal sealing lip body, forming a composite sealing structure that combines rigidity and flexibility. The metal sealing lip provides high-strength structural support, resisting external impacts and deformations during long-term use, ensuring the precise fit between the sealing groove and the sealing lip. The waterproof rubber sealing gasket fills the sealing gap through its own elastic deformation, enhancing the barrier effect against rainwater and moisture, making it particularly suitable for humid environments or exterior wall installations. The synergistic effect of the two materials avoids the frictional wear caused by rigid contact in pure metal sealing lips and solves the problem of insufficient strength in pure rubber seals, achieving a dual improvement in sealing performance and structural durability. Furthermore, the material properties of the sealing gasket give it excellent anti-aging and corrosion resistance, maintaining a stable sealing effect even under long-term ultraviolet radiation or high humidity environments, extending the effective service life of the sealing structure and reducing the frequency of product maintenance.
[0012] The present invention is further provided that: both side walls of the sealing plate are connected to the top wall with a smooth arc surface and form a circular arc surface.
[0013] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: The arc-shaped surface design between the two sides of the sealing plate and the top wall improves product performance from the perspective of practicality and humanization. The arc-shaped surface structure can reduce the accumulation of dust and water stains on the edge of the sealing plate, avoiding the problem of sealing lip wear and sealing failure caused by dust accumulation in the traditional right-angle structure. At the same time, it facilitates daily cleaning and maintenance. The smooth arc transition also reduces the risk of scratches caused by sharp corners during installation and use, improving the safety of the product. From the perspective of structural mechanics, the arc-shaped surface design can disperse the stress concentration at the connection between the sealing plate and the beam, enhance the connection strength between the sealing plate and the beam, and reduce the problem of edge cracking caused by long-term vibration or external force. In addition, the streamlined appearance of the arc-shaped surface enhances the overall aesthetics of the curtain beam, making it easier to match the decoration style of modern home and office environments. It meets functional needs while taking into account decoration, expanding the application scenarios of the product. Attached Figure Description
