Description

P2180 / NL CURTAIN CONTROL SYSTEM, CURTAIN HAVING THE SAME, AND CURTAIN CONTROL METHOD FIELD OF INVENTION [OOOl]The present disclosure relates to electric curtains, and more particularly to a curtain control system, a curtain having the curtain control system, and a curtain control method. BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE

[0002] With the continuous advancement of technology, smart home products have progressively integrated into modern living environ ments. Through the operation of a single control interface, settings such as lighting, curtains, and air conditioning may be adjusted to create a comfortable atmosphere, thereby enhancing convenience in daily life. [OOO3]A.conventional curtain typically comprises vertically sus pended fabric vanes composed of a plurality of panels, wherein the curtain is expandable or retractable along a horizontal direction. Although existing electric curtains are configured to perform one touch expansion or retraction, during operation, the plurality of panels may become obstructed by structural components of the cur tain, thereby hindering further movement. To mitigate this issue, conventional electric curtains generally adjust the panels to a position perpendicular to a tilt shaft prior to performing the ex pansion or retraction operation. [OOO4]However, the adjustment of the plurality of panels to the perpendicular position, as well as the subsequent expansion or re traction, requires a considerable amount of time. In scenarios where the curtain includes a large number of panels, users are often required to endure prolonged waiting periods, thereby leading to significant inconvenience. SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE

[0005] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, the present disclosure provides a curtain control system, a curtain having the curtain control system, and a curtain control method, wherein adjustment time can be effectively reduced. [OOO6]According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a cur tain control system is provided and is installed in a curtain. The curtain comprises a plurality of panel carriers, wherein one of the panel carriers is defined as a master carrier configured to move between a first position and a second position. Each panel carrier includes a panel holder configured to rotate between 0 degrees and 180 degrees.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [OO40]In order to clearly illustrate specific embodiments, structural features, and effects achieved by the present disclosure, embodiments are provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. [OO41]Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a curtain control system 21 is installed in a curtain 20. The curtain 20 comprises a plurality of panel carriers 23, wherein an outermost one of the panel carriers 23 is defined as a master carrier 23E. The master carrier 23E is configured to move between a first position and a second position. The master carrier 23E is further configured to drive an adjacent panel carrier 23, and each panel carrier 23 is arranged to be driven by its neighboring panel carrier 23, thereby enabling the movement of the master carrier 23E to sequentially drive movement of the other panel carriers 23. The plurality of panel carriers 23 are spaced apart along a tilt shaft 26. Each panel carrier 23 includes a panel holder 231 configured to rotate between 0 degrees and 180 degrees. The curtain 20 further comprises a fabric vane 25 suspended below the plurality of panel holders 231, wherein the fabric vane 25 is composed of a plurality of panels 251. Each panel holder 231 is configured to hold a corresponding panel 251. [OO42]The curtain 20 further comprises a drive device 22 and a battery pack 24, wherein the battery pack 24 is configured to supply electrical power to the drive device 22. The drive device 22 com prises a tilt motor 221 configured to drive rotation of the plurality of panel holders 231 between 0 degrees and 180 degrees, and a travel motor 222 configured to drive movement of the master carrier 23E between the first position and the second position. [OO43]Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, the drive device 22 further comprises two carrier assemblies 224 and a belt 223. The belt 223 is connected to a rotating wheel 227, wherein the rotating wheel 227 is linked to the travel motor 222. When the travel motor 222 is activated, the travel motor 222 drives the rotating wheel 227 to rotate, thereby causing the belt 223 to move. The two carrier as semblies 224 are respectively secured to opposite ends of the belt 223 and are connected to the master carrier 23E through a drive link 225. When the travel motor 222 operates, the two carrier assemblies 224 move together with the belt 223, thereby driving the master carrier 23E. Since the plurality of panel carriers 23 are spaced apart along the tilt shaft 26, the movement of the master carrier 23E sequentially drives the other panel carriers 23, thereby causing the plurality of panels 251 to gradually expand to a fully open position, as illustrated in FIG. 6, or to sequentially stack into a fully closed position, as illustrated in FIG. 10. In the present embodiment, the drive link 225 may be, but is not limited to, a metal plate. [OO44]Furthermore, the drive device 22 includes a gear assembly 226 configured to be actuated by the tilt motor 221 to rotate. The gear assembly 226 comprises a plurality of gears, including a first gear 2261, an intermediate gear 2262, and a second gear 2263, wherein the first gear 2261 is connected to the tilt motor 221, and the second gear 2263 is connected to the tilt shaft 26. The first gear 2261 and the second gear 2263 are interconnected via the intermediate gear 2262. When the gear assembly 226 is driven to rotate by the tilt motor 221, the gear assembly 226 synchronously drives the tilt shaft 26 to rotate. Each panel holder 231 includes a drive gear 231A configured to mesh with a rotating member 261 connected to the tilt shaft 26. When the tilt shaft 26 rotates, the rotating member 261 is driven to rotate accordingly, thereby causing the drive gear 231A to rotate and subsequently rotating the panel holder 231. Through this mechanism, an angle of each panel 251 can be adjusted, thereby regulating the amount of light passing through the fabric vane 25. [OO45]In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the curtain control system 21 comprises a sensing module 212, a processing module 211, and a motor control module 213. The sensing module 212 includes a position detector 2122 configured to detect position information of the master carrier 23E and an angle detector 2121 configured to detect a rotation angle common to the plurality of panel holders 231. The angle detector 2121 and the position detector 2122 may each be, but are not limited to, an encoder, an angle sensor, or an electromagnetic sensor. In the present embodiments, the rotation angle is defined as an angle between the panel holder 231 and the tilt shaft 26. [OO46]The processing module 211 includes a processing unit 2111 configured to receive an activation signal 10A transmitted from an electronic device 10 and to generate a control signal 2111A based on the rotation angle and / or the position information. The motor control module 213 is configured to receive the control signal 2111A and to drive or stop the tilt motor 221 and the travel motor 222 accordingly. The motor control module 213 comprises a first control unit 2131 configured to drive the tilt motor 221 and a second control unit 2132 configured to drive the travel motor 222.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the pro cessing unit 2111 is programmed to determine whether (i) the rotation angle falls within a specific range, or (ii) a change in the rotation angle reaches a specific value, and to determine whether the rotation angle is equal to a preset angle. When it is determined that (i) or (ii) is satisfied and the rotation angle is not equal to the preset angle, the motor control module 213 drives the travel motor 222 and the tilt motor 221 simultaneously based on the control signal 2111A. In the present embodiments, the preset angle is defined as 90 de grees, the specific range is defined as between 30 degrees and 89 degrees and between 91 degrees and 150 degrees, and the specific value is defined as 20 degrees. It should be understood that the aforementioned angular values are provided for exemplary purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. [OO48]Furthermore, the processing module 211 also includes a storage unit 2112. The sensing module 212 detects position infor mation and the rotation angle by using the position detector 2122 and the angle detector 2121, respectively, and transmits the de tected position information and rotation angle to the processing unit 2111. The processing unit 2111 stores the received position information and rotation angle in the storage unit 2112. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the processing unit 2111 receives the activation signal 10A from the electronic device 10, the processing unit 2111 retrieves the position information and the rotation angle stored in the storage unit 2112 and generates the control signal 2111A based on the retrieved rotation angle and / or the retrieved position information. [OO49]Referring to FIGS. 6 to 10, sequential operations of the master carrier 23E moving from the first position to the second position are illustrated. In the embodiments of the present disclo sure, a fabric vane 25 of the curtain 20 transitions from a fully expanded position to a fully retracted position, wherein the plu rality of panels 251 are in a fully closed state, i.e., the rotation angle of each panel holder 231 is either 0 degrees or 180 degrees. However, this description is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, when the sensing module 212 detects that the master carrier 23E is located at the first position and that the rotation angle of the panel holders 231 is outside the specific range and not equal to the preset angle, the motor control module 213 drives the tilt motor 221 to rotate the panel holders 231 toward the preset angle, as shown in FIG. 7.

[0050] When the processing unit 2111 determines that the rotation angle falls within the specific range or that a change in the rota tion angle reaches the specific value, the motor control module 213 drives the travel motor 222 to move the master carrier 23E toward the second position while continuing to drive the tilt motor 221 to rotate the panel holders 231 toward the preset angle, as shown in FIG. 8.

[0051] When the rotation angle of the panel holders 231 reaches the preset angle, the motor control module 213 stops driving the tilt motor 221 and continues to drive the travel motor 222 to move the master carrier 23E toward the second position, as shown in FIG. 9. [OO52]When the master carrier 23E reaches the second position, the motor control module 213 stops driving the travel motor 222, as shown in FIG. 10. At this time, the sensing module 212 detects the position information of the master carrier 23E and the rotation angle of the panel holders 231 and transmits the detected information to the processing unit 2111 for storage in the storage unit 2112.

[0053] The present disclosure further provides a curtain control method, which includes at least an initialization step, a data ac- quisition step, a judgment and execution step, and a termination step. Referring to FIGS. 11A to 11C, which illustrate a first em bodiment of the curtain control method, the curtain control method comprises the following steps: ° Initialization Step (Step S10): The processing module 211 receives an activation signal 10A from an electronic device 10 and then proceeds to the data acquisition step. ° Data Acquisition Step (Step S20): The processing unit 2111 of the processing module 211 retrieves position information and the rotation angle stored in a storage unit 2112 based on the activation signal 10A and then proceeds to the judgment and execution step and the termination step. ° Judgment and Execution Step (Steps S31S34): Step 831: After acquiring the position information and the ro tation angle, the processing unit 2111 first determines whether the rotation angle of the panel holders 231 is equal to a preset angle. Step S32: If the rotation angle is equal to the preset angle ("Yes"), the processing unit 2111 sends a control signal 2111A to a motor control module 213, and the motor control module 213 drives a travel motor 222 to move a master carrier 23E toward a second position, without driving a tilt motor 221. If the rota tion angle is not equal to the preset angle ("No"), the pro cessing unit 2111 determines whether the rotation angle falls within a specific range. Step S33: If the rotation angle falls within the specific range, the processing unit 2111 sends the control signal 2111A to the motor control module 213. The motor control module 213 drives the tilt motor 221 to rotate the panel holders 231 toward the preset angle and simultaneously drives the travel motor 222 to move the master carrier 23E toward the second position. If the rotation angle does not fall within the specific range, the processing unit 2111 sends the control signal 2111A to the motor control module 213, which drives only the tilt motor 221 to adjust the panel holders 231 toward the preset angle. Thereaf ter, the processing unit 2111 determines whether a change in the rotation angle reaches a specific value. Step S34: If the change in the rotation angle reaches the spe- cific value, the processing unit 2111 sends the control signal 2111A to the motor control module 213, and the motor control module 213 drives the tilt motor 221 to rotate the panel holders 231 toward the preset angle and simultaneously drives the travel motor 222 to move the master carrier 23E toward the second position. If the change does not reach the specific value, Step S33 is repeated. ° Termination Step (Steps S81, 891893, S102, 81128113): Step 881: Following Step S32, while the master carrier 23E con tinues moving toward the second position, the processing unit 2111 determines whether the master carrier 23E has reached the second position. If the master carrier 23E has reached the second position, the processing unit 2111 sends the control signal 2111A to the motor control module 213, and the motor control module 213 stops driving the travel motor 222. After stopping the travel motor 222, a sensing module 212, including a position detector 2122 and an angle detector 2121, respectively detects the current position information of the master carrier 23E and the rotation angle of the panel holders 231, and transmits the detected data to the processing unit 2111 for storage in the storage unit 2112, thereby concluding the current curtain con trol operation. If the master carrier 23E has not yet reached the second position, Step S32 is repeated. If, during the judgment and execution step, Step S33 or Step S34 is executed, the termination step proceeds to Steps S91S93, Step 8102, or Steps 81128113. Step 891: The processing unit 2111 determines whether the rota tion angle of the panel holders 231 is equal to the preset angle and whether the master carrier 23E has reached the second posi tion. If the rotation angle is equal to the preset angle but the master carrier 23E has not reached the second position, the processing unit 2111 sends the control signal 2111A to the motor control module 213 to execute Step S92. Step 892: The motor control module 213 stops driving the tilt motor 221 and continues driving the travel motor 222 to move the master carrier 23E toward the second position. Step 893: The processing unit 2111 determines whether the master carrier 23E has reached the second position. If the master car rier 23E has reached the second position ("Yes"), the processing unit 2111 sends the control signal 2111A to the motor control module 213, and the motor control module 213 stops driving the travel motor 222. After stopping the travel motor 222, the sens- ing module 212, through the position detector 2122 and the angle detector 2121, respectively detects the current position infor mation of the master carrier 23E and the rotation angle of the panel holders 231, and transmits the detected data to the pro cessing unit 2111 for storage in the storage unit 2112, thereby concluding the current curtain control operation. If the master carrier 23E has not reached the second position ("No"), the control signal 2111A is transmitted again to the motor control module 213 to repeat Step S92. If the processing unit 2111 determines that the rotation angle of the panel holders 231 is equal to the preset angle and that the master carrier 23E has reached the second position, the processing unit 2111 sends the control signal 2111A to the motor control module 213 to execute Step 8102. Step 8102: The motor control module 213 stops driving both the tilt motor 221 and the travel motor 222 based on the control signal 2111A. The sensing module 212, through the position de tector 2122 and the angle detector 2121, detects the current position information of the master carrier 23E and the rotation angle of the panel holders 231, and transmits the detected data to the processing unit 2111 for storage in the storage unit 2112, thereby concluding the current curtain control operation.
