Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric curtain machine technology, and in particular to a dual-position mounting structure for a driver of a curtain machine and a curtain machine containing the same. Background Technology

[0002] An electric curtain motor is a device that enables curtains to open and close automatically. Currently, curtain motors typically have a conveyor belt installed in a track. A driver (such as a motor or a drive box containing a motor) drives the conveyor belt through a transmission wheel. The conveyor belt then moves a moving component located in the track, which in turn moves the curtain.

[0003] The driver is typically installed at one end of the curtain track, either vertically or horizontally. In existing designs, the installation position and direction of this driver are relatively fixed. However, the inventors discovered in practical applications that this fixed driver placement has significant limitations: it cannot flexibly adjust its position to accommodate complex installation environments (such as space constraints, special wall structures, furniture obstructions, or other obstacles). This often leads to conflicts between the driver or its connecting cable and the available space under specific installation conditions, forcing compromises in the installation plan, increasing additional modification costs, and even making reliable installation difficult in some extremely space-constrained scenarios, causing substantial inconvenience and trouble for users and installers. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a dual-position mounting structure for a driver for a curtain machine and a curtain machine containing the same, with the aim of enabling the driver to be installed in an adjustable position on the curtain machine.

[0011] As a further alternative, the first transmission path and the second transmission path may be independent of each other or partially overlap.

[0012] As a further optional solution, the transmission box is provided with a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear and a third bevel gear;

[0013] The first bevel gear has a first insertion hole on its end face, and the first insertion hole corresponds to the first interface;

[0015] The third bevel gear is coaxially arranged with the transmission wheel and the two rotate synchronously.

[0016] The first bevel gear and the second bevel gear mesh with the third bevel gear, respectively.

[0017] As a further optional solution, a rotating shaft is also included, on which both the third bevel gear and the transmission wheel are fixedly mounted.

[0018] As a further optional solution, the first side of the transmission box is used to connect the curtain track, and the second interface is located on the second side of the transmission box, with the first side and the second side being opposite sides.

[0035] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0036] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying 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, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0037] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0038] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0039] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0040] refer to Figure 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a dual-position mounting structure for a driver of a curtain machine, including a transmission box 1. The transmission box 1 contains a transmission wheel 2, a first transmission path, and a second transmission path. The bottom of the transmission box 1 has a first interface 11 for connecting the driver. The side of the transmission box 1 has a second interface 12 for connecting the driver. The first transmission path is used to realize the transmission connection between the driver and the transmission wheel 2 after the driver is connected to the first interface 11. The second transmission path is used to realize the transmission connection between the driver and the transmission wheel 2 after the driver is connected to the second interface 12.

[0041] Specifically, the first transmission path and the second transmission path are each composed of one or more transmission components (such as gears). When the driver is installed on the first interface 11, that is, when the driver is installed on the bottom of the transmission box 1, the output shaft on the driver will be connected to the first transmission path. The driving force of the driver will be transmitted to the transmission wheel 2 through the first transmission path, causing the transmission wheel 2 to rotate. When the transmission wheel 2 rotates, it can drive the transmission belt (not shown) in the curtain track to move, thereby realizing the operation of the curtain machine.

[0042] Similarly, when the driver is installed on the second interface 12, the output shaft on the driver will be connected to the second transmission path, thereby enabling the transmission wheel 2 to rotate.

[0043] Thus, this embodiment provides two different installation position options for the driver by setting a first interface 11 and a second interface 12 on the bottom and side of the transmission box 1, respectively. Depending on the characteristics of the actual installation space, such as narrow corridor windows or compact attic windows, the driver can be flexibly connected to either the first interface 11 or the second interface 12, thereby improving the installation adaptability of the curtain machine in various complex environments.

[0044] There are many ways for the aforementioned driver to connect with the first transmission path / second transmission path. The following is an illustrative example of the connection between the first transmission path and the driver:

[0045] For example, among the transmission components that make up the first transmission path, the first transmission component on the first transmission path is defined as the docking component, which can be in the form of a gear. At this time, the output shaft of the driver is provided with corresponding transmission teeth. When the driver is connected to the first interface 11, the transmission teeth on the output shaft of the driver mesh with the docking component, thereby achieving the transmission docking between the driver and the first transmission path.

[0046] For example, an axial insertion hole can be provided on the mating part. When the driver is connected to the first interface 11, the output shaft of the driver can be inserted into the insertion hole. Here, the insertion hole adopts a non-circular hole structure, and the output shaft has an insertion structure that matches the cross-section of the insertion hole. This ensures that the insertion hole and the output shaft remain relatively fixed in the circumferential direction. When the output shaft of the driver rotates, it can drive the mating part to rotate together.

[0047] For example, a coaxial shaft can be provided on the mating parts, while the driver is provided with a socket for the shaft of the mating parts to be inserted, thereby realizing the transmission mating.

[0048] It should be emphasized that the transmission docking examples listed above are all relatively conventional transmission docking structures. Due to their universality and commonality, they are not illustrated here. Furthermore, the above examples cannot cover all docking methods between the driver and the first / second transmission path. The core focus of this application is not on how to specifically implement the transmission docking between the driver and the first / second transmission path. As long as the transmission docking function between the two can be achieved, it can be flexibly selected and designed according to actual needs and with reference to existing technologies.

[0049] Regarding drive mechanisms, their specific forms are quite diverse. In the curtain machine industry, a common approach is for the drive mechanism to be either a simple motor, utilizing its own rotational power to drive related components; or a drive housing that includes the motor, which, in addition to the motor, can integrate other structures such as a gearbox, depending on the specific requirements. The gearbox can adjust the motor's output speed and torque to meet the power requirements of the curtain machine under different operating conditions. This type of drive housing integrating multiple structures is widely used in the curtain machine industry.

[0050] Furthermore, regarding the method of mounting the driver on the transmission box 1, conventional methods such as snap-fit ​​connection or screw connection can be used. In the field of curtain machines, similar existing technologies CN220631850U and CN220546118U have related detachable installation designs, and the detachable installation of the driver on the transmission box 1 is a relatively common design approach. The core focus of this application is not on how to achieve a fixed installation of the driver, therefore, the fixed installation structure of the driver is not shown in detail. As long as the installation of the driver on the transmission box 1 can be achieved and basic usage requirements are met, the specific fixed installation structure is not limited, and appropriate solutions from existing technologies can be flexibly selected according to the actual situation.

[0051] As mentioned above, the first transmission path and the second transmission path are each composed of one or more transmission components (such as gears); wherein, the first transmission path and the second transmission path are independent of each other or partially overlap; in other words, the transmission components that make up the first transmission path and the transmission components that make up the second transmission path may be independent of each other; or some of the transmission components may be part of both the first transmission path and the second transmission path.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the transmission box 1 is provided with a first bevel gear 3, a second bevel gear 4, and a third bevel gear 5; the end face of the first bevel gear 3 is provided with a first insertion hole (not shown), which corresponds to the first interface 11; the end face of the second bevel gear 4 is provided with a second insertion hole 41, which corresponds to the second interface 12; the third bevel gear 5 is coaxially arranged with the transmission wheel 2 and the two rotate synchronously; wherein, the first bevel gear 3 and the second bevel gear 4 are respectively meshed with the third bevel gear 5.

[0053] The third bevel gear 5 and the transmission wheel 2 can be fixedly mounted on a rotating shaft 6 to achieve synchronous rotation of the two.

[0054] Specifically, the first bevel gear 3, the third bevel gear 5, and the rotating shaft 6 form the first transmission path. The output shaft on the driver is inserted into the first insertion hole on the first bevel gear 3 to complete the transmission connection. The driving force output by the driver can be transmitted to the transmission wheel 2 in sequence through the first bevel gear 3, the third bevel gear 5, and the rotating shaft 6.

[0055] Similarly, the second bevel gear 4, the third bevel gear 5, and the rotating shaft 6 form the second transmission path. The output shaft on the driver is inserted into the second insertion hole 41 on the second bevel gear 4 to complete the transmission connection. The driving force output by the driver can be transmitted to the transmission wheel 2 in sequence through the second bevel gear 4, the third bevel gear 5, and the rotating shaft 6.

[0056] It should be emphasized that the above embodiments are exemplary and intended to help understand the roles of the first and second transmission paths in the overall transmission system. In practical applications, when the position and orientation of the transmission wheel 2 have specific requirements due to overall structural layout, space utilization, or other functional needs, those skilled in the art should be able to fully utilize their professional knowledge and existing technology to adapt and rationally configure the first and second transmission paths. For example, redesigning the gear meshing method, selecting different types and specifications of transmission components, and adjusting the installation position and angle of each component can ensure that the driving force output by the driver can be transmitted to the transmission wheel 2.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first side 1a of the transmission box 1 is used to connect the curtain track, and the second interface 12 is located on the second side 1b of the transmission box 1. The first side 1a and the second side 1b are opposite sides.

[0058] To facilitate understanding of the impact of installing the driver in different locations (first interface 11, second interface 12) on the overall structure of the curtain machine, the following example is provided:

[0059] In the first application scenario, such as Figure 4 As shown, the drive unit is in a straight line shape and is installed at the bottom of the transmission box 1; the drive unit and the curtain track are in an L-shape. Installing the drive unit at the bottom of the transmission box 1 makes full use of the relatively unused space below the curtain machine, without occupying valuable space on the sides or top of the curtain machine. This makes the overall structure of the curtain machine more compact, especially suitable for installation in confined spaces, such as near windows in small apartments.

[0060] In the second application scenario, such as Figure 5 As shown, the drive unit is in a straight line shape and is installed on the second side 1b of the transmission box 1. The drive unit and the curtain track are in a straight line. This alignment makes the overall appearance of the curtain machine simpler, neater, and with smoother lines. In some ceiling-mounted installation spaces, the drive unit and curtain track can be hidden together.

[0061] In the third application scenario, such as Figure 6 As shown, the drive unit is L-shaped (e.g., the motor and gearbox are L-shaped); the output shaft of the gearbox is connected to the second side 1b of the transmission box 1, and the motor and curtain track are arranged side by side. When the user observes the curtain machine from the front, the curtain track can obscure the motor, resulting in a better viewing experience.

[0062] It should be noted that the three application scenario examples listed above are merely to help understand the impact of different installation positions of the driver and do not limit the application of the dual-position installation structure of the driver in this application. In practical applications, based on the dual-position installation structure of the driver in this application, users can flexibly and reasonably determine the installation position of the driver according to different usage environments, curtain machine model specifications, installation space conditions, and user-specific needs, so as to achieve the best installation effect and user experience.

[0063] In addition, a curtain machine is provided that includes the aforementioned dual-position drive mounting structure.

[0064] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0065] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
