Electric curtain track structure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The installation of actuators at the rear ends of electric curtain tracks hinders the placement of decorative heads, compromising the aesthetic appearance by exposing the actuators.
Innovation Solution
An electric curtain track structure with a guiding track assembly, a first actuator, and a decorative assembly, where the guiding track has opposite bending sections, allowing the decorative panel to protrude and accommodate decorative heads on the outer sides, concealing the actuator and enhancing aesthetics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If actuators are installed at the rear ends of the curtain track, then the electric curtain function is achieved, but the aesthetic appearance deteriorates due to exposed actuators hindering decorative head installation
Solution Approach 1:
The actuator is nested within the guiding track main body structure. The guiding track main body is designed with a housing that encloses the actuator, allowing the actuator to be integrated into the track structure rather than being externally mounted. This nesting approach enables the actuator to be concealed while still performing its driving function, thus resolving the conflict between functional implementation and aesthetic appearance.
Solution Approach 2:
The decorative panel is designed to protrude from the guiding track main body in a direction perpendicular to the track's longitudinal axis. This dimensional extension creates additional space at the ends of the track where decorative heads can be installed without interfering with the actuator's position and function. By utilizing this additional dimension, the invention allows both the actuator to remain in place and decorative elements to be added, thereby improving aesthetic appearance without compromising the electric curtain function.

If decorative heads are installed at the two ends of the curtain track, then the aesthetic appearance is improved, but the actuator installation location prevents this from being achieved

AI summary
An electric curtain track structure includes a guiding track assembly, a first actuator, a transmission assembly and a decorative assembly. The guiding track assembly includes a guiding track main body having first and second bending sections opposite from each other. The first actuator is installed on the first bending section. The transmission assembly includes a transmission cable and first hooks. The transmission cable is inserted into the guiding track main body and driven by the first actuator to move along the guiding track main body. The decorative assembly includes a decorative panel and heads. The decorative panel is attached onto an outer side of the guiding track main body, and two ends of the decorative panel protruded out of the guiding track man body for the decorative heads to correspondingly install on an outer side of the first and second bending sections. Consequently, the overall appearance thereof is improved.
