U-Shaped Intelligent Driving Device Layout for Electric Curtains
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional tubular motors in electric curtains have limited internal mounting space due to their compact structure, restricting the integration of intelligent chips and lengthening the motor, which makes them unsuitable for small spaces and hinders intelligent development, as well as signal interference from metal housing.
Innovation Solution
The motor, main control board, and power source are arranged in a U shape within a housing, shortening the overall length, allowing for more intelligent chip integration and preventing signal interference, with a detachable end cover and integrated functional modules for wireless or wired communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If more intelligent chips are mounted inside the tubular motor, then intelligent functionality is improved, but the motor length increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a linear arrangement of components to a U-shaped three-dimensional layout. The power source, main control board, and motor are arranged in a U-shape configuration, utilizing vertical and lateral spaces rather than only linear extension. This dimensional change allows multiple intelligent chips to be mounted without proportionally increasing the overall motor length.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the tubular motor is made shorter, then adaptability to small spaces is improved, but the mounting space for intelligent chips is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
By arranging components in a U-shaped three-dimensional configuration rather than a linear layout, the patent maximizes the use of available space within the motor housing. This allows the motor to be compact enough for small spaces while still providing adequate mounting volume for intelligent chips through efficient spatial utilization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent integrates multiple functional components (power source, main control board, motor, and intelligent chips) into a nested compact structure. The U-shaped arrangement allows components to be positioned in overlapping or adjacent three-dimensional spaces, effectively nesting functionality within a reduced overall volume.
3Reliability
If the main control board and PCB board are mounted separately, then signal reception is improved, but the number of mounted parts increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the main control board and PCB board into a unified U-shaped mounting structure. This merging maintains the functional separation needed for signal reception while reducing the number of discrete mounted parts. The integrated design allows both boards to be installed as coordinated components rather than separate entities, simplifying the overall assembly.

AI summary
An intelligent driving device is provided which comprise a housing, and an end face of the housing is provided with a motor and a power source; the power source and the motor are arranged up and down in parallel, a main control board is disposed inside the housing, the motor and the power source both are electrically connected to the main control board, and the power source, the main control board and the motor are arranged into a U shape. In this case, the electric curtain will be made shorter and applicable to mounting in the spaces of various sizes. Thus, the small size can be guaranteed, and more intelligent chips can be disposed, thereby satisfying the intelligent development of the electric curtains.
