[0040] Example 1:
[0041] As shown in Figures 1 to 7, this utility model discloses a driving mechanism, including a driving unit. The driving unit includes a motor 1, a reducer 2, and a transmission shaft 3 that passes through the reducer. The motor 1 is connected to the transmission shaft 3 via the reducer 2. The mechanism also includes a transmission unit, which comprises:
[0042] Support component 4;
[0043] The gear set includes a driving gear 5 and a driven gear 6 arranged side by side on one side of the support member 4, and are connected to each other by a synchronous belt 7. The inner circumferential side of the synchronous belt 7 is provided with a number of internal teeth that cooperate with the gear set.
[0044] One end of the drive shaft 3 passes through the support member 4 and is fixed to the drive gear 5;
[0045] Among them, the outer circumferential of the synchronous belt 7 is provided with several external teeth, which are used to drive the roller shutter blades 16 to move.
[0046] The shutter blade 16 is supported on the synchronous belt by the driving gear 5 and the driven gear 6.
[0047] In the above technical solution, the motor is mounted on the reducer, and the motor drives the transmission shaft through the reducer. This transmission method is a conventional transmission method and is widely present in the prior art. Therefore, there is no need to discuss its detailed structure again in this application description.
[0048] In the above technical solution, the drive shaft drives the drive gear to move, the synchronous belt is a double-sided synchronous belt, the internal teeth of the synchronous belt are driven by the gear set, and then the external teeth of the synchronous belt drive the roller shutter blades to move.
[0049] In the above technical solution, both the internal tooth pressure and the external tooth are integrally formed with the timing belt;
