[0025] In the accompanying drawings of this utility model, the same or similar reference numerals correspond to the same or similar components. In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, they are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the terms used to describe positional relationships in the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a braking mechanism, which includes a housing 10, at least one stage planetary reduction gear 30 coaxially mounted on the housing 10, and a braking assembly 20. The planetary reduction gear 30 can be connected to a motor or a power input mechanism for power input reduction adjustment. The planetary reduction gear 30 is connected to the braking assembly 20, wherein the braking assembly 20 includes an input component 21, which is connected to the planetary gears 31 of the final stage planetary reduction gear 30. The input component 21 serves as the power input point for the braking assembly 20, and at the same time, the input component 21 is connected to the planetary gears 31, forming the output point of the final stage planetary reduction gear 30; that is, the input component 21 integrates the braking assembly 20 and the final stage planetary reduction gear 30, reducing the number of transmission connection points, while achieving independent functions for each component, greatly reducing the size of the device and simplifying the structure.

[0027] Preferably, the brake assembly 20 further includes an output member 23, which is used to connect to the actuator, thereby enabling the brake mechanism to brake the actuator.

[0028] In one embodiment, the planetary reduction gear 30 includes an internal gear groove 11 formed within the housing 10, and the planetary gears 31 of the planetary reduction gear 30 are meshed with the internal gear groove 11. The housing 10 forms part of the planetary reduction gear 30, and the planetary reduction gear 30 is assembled to the housing 10, reducing the number of components in the planetary reduction gear 30. The internal gear groove 11 and the housing 10 are integrally formed, resulting in high structural strength.

[0029] Furthermore, a positioning cavity 12 communicating with the internal gear groove 11 is formed inside the housing 10, and the brake assembly 20 is installed in the positioning cavity 12. The positioning cavity 12 and the internal gear groove 11 are located in the same communicating space inside the housing 10, making it convenient to assemble and connect the brake assembly 20 and the planetary reduction gear set.

[0030] The internal toothed groove 11 and the positioning cavity 12 are arranged side by side, with the positioning cavity 12 recessed from one end of the housing 10. The brake assembly 20 is inserted and assembled into the positioning cavity 12, and the joint between the two has an anti-rotation structure. For example, the anti-rotation structure is configured such that the plane of the positioning cavity 12 matches and fits against the plane of the brake assembly 20. Alternatively, the anti-rotation structure is configured as a complementary fit of grooves and ribs.

[0031] In one embodiment, the brake assembly 20 includes a housing 22, which engages with a positioning cavity 12. The housing 22 is inserted into the positioning cavity 12 and engaged and fixed with the housing 10, allowing for precise control of the assembly position and angle of the brake assembly 20. The housing 22 and the positioning cavity 12 can be complementarily engaged through grooves and ribs.

[0032] Preferably, the housing 10 is provided with a positioning notch 14, and the outer shell 22 is provided with a snap-fit ​​boss 221 that matches the positioning notch 14. The positioning notch 14 intersects with the opening of the positioning cavity 12, and the snap-fit ​​boss 221 protrudes radially from the outer shell 22. The snap-fit ​​boss 221 and the positioning notch 14 are complementary in positioning to form a snap-fit ​​between the outer shell 22 and the positioning cavity 12. The outer shell 22 has a tubular structure, and the snap-fit ​​boss 221 protrudes radially and partially from the outer peripheral wall of the outer shell 22 to form a lateral protrusion. Optionally, the snap-fit ​​boss 221 is provided as one, two, three, or four to cooperate with the outer shell 22 in snap-fitting and defining the brake assembly 20.

[0033] The outer casing 22 separates the moving parts of the brake assembly 20 from the housing 10. Meanwhile, the planetary gear 31 meshes with the internal gear groove 11 to form the brake assembly 20.

[0034] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the input component 21 extends into the housing 22, and a deceleration section is formed between the housing 22 and the input component 21. The housing 22 is inserted into the positioning cavity 12 and surrounds the input component 21, and the input component 21 can rotate relative to the housing 22.

[0035] The deceleration unit connects the input component 21 and the housing 22. The brake assembly 20 also includes an output component 23 and rollers 24. The input component 21 has a deceleration chamber 214, with multiple slots 212 on its wall and multiple protrusions 213 on the inner side of the chamber wall. The slots 212 and protrusions 213 are alternately arranged. The outer peripheral wall of the output component 23 alternately has deceleration planes 231 and moving grooves 232. Preferably, three deceleration planes 231 are provided, and a moving groove 232 is provided between two adjacent deceleration planes 231.

[0036] The output component 23 is inserted into the reduction chamber 214, and the protrusion 213 extends into the moving groove 232. The roller 24 is located in the space formed by the groove 212, the reduction plane 231, and the inner wall of the outer casing 22. The working principle of the brake assembly 20 can be found in CN222654968U, and will not be repeated here. The difference lies in that the input component 21, as part of the planetary reduction gear, constitutes the power input section, and the output component 23 is used to connect the actuator. The planetary reduction gear can first reduce speed, and then brake the actuator through the braking mechanism.

[0037] In one embodiment, the input component 21 has a positioning hole 211 on the side facing the planetary reducer assembly, and a positioning rod 321 is formed on the sun gear 32 of the planetary reducer assembly, extending into the positioning hole 211. The positioning hole 211 accommodates part of the positioning rod 321 to form a coaxial structure, improving the rotational smoothness of the sun gear 32. The positioning rod 321 and the input component 21 are fitted together for positioning and installation, which can define the circumferential and axial positions, reduce the axial space dimension, and reduce the assembly difficulty.

[0038] The positioning rod 321 and the sun gear 32 form an approximately stepped shaft structure. Furthermore, the sun gear 32 is provided with a rib on its side, which extends into the internal tooth groove 11 and is located between the planet gear 31 and the housing 10, so as to further limit the axial movement space of the sun gear 32.

[0039] In one embodiment, the braking mechanism includes an input shaft 40 connected to a sun gear 32. A tube 13 is formed on the housing 10, with one end of the input shaft 40, away from the brake assembly 20, extending into the tube 13. The tube 13 is a tubular protrusion on the housing 10, protruding outwards to increase the contact support area between the input shaft 40 and the housing 10, thereby improving the rotational stability of the input shaft 40.

[0040] Optionally, the input shaft 40 and the sun gear 32 are detachably connected, and the mounting position of the input shaft 40 and the power source connected to it are adjustable.

[0041] Optionally, the input shaft 40 and the sun gear 32 are an integral structure, that is, the sun gear 32 is the toothed part on the input shaft 40. The input shaft 40 is installed on the tube body 13 and extends into the meshing area of ​​the planet gear 31, so as to be able to mesh and connect the planet gear 31.

[0042] The braking mechanism described in the above embodiments is applied to a lifting device, wherein the lifting device includes a braking mechanism and a rope winder or belt winder connected to the output end of the braking assembly 20. The rope winder or belt winder serves as an actuator, enabling the lifting and lowering control of the electric curtains.

[0043] The actuator is connected to the output component 23. The planetary reduction gear can decelerate first, and then brake the actuator through the braking mechanism to improve the smoothness of the rope winder or belt winder.

[0044] Preferably, the output component 23 is provided with a transmission hole 233, and the actuator is plugged into the transmission hole 233 to form a plug-in transmission connection.

[0045] It should be understood that this application is not limited to the precise structure described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present invention that follow the general principles of this application and include common knowledge or customary technical means in the art that are not disclosed in this invention.
