DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following illustrative embodiments and illustrations are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention, and that the features of the embodiments and embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other.

[0020] Referring to FIGS. 1 through 6, an embodiment of a curtain winding device of the present disclosure includes a beam 1, a power mechanism 2 mounted to the beam 1, a transmission rod 3 driven by the power mechanism 2, and at least two reels 4 fitted about the transmission rod 3 and relatively fixed with the transmission rod 3 in the circumferential direction. A drawstring 5 is wound on each reel 4. A drawstring holder 60 is fixed to the beam 1 corresponding to each reel 4, to guide the drawstring 5 to be wound on the reel 4. A nut 62 is fixed to the beam 1, corresponding to each reel 4. The reel 4 includes a screw segment 40 screwed to the nut 62 on the beam 1, and a corn segment 42 extending from an end of the screw segment 40 and having an outer diameter gradually increasing in the extending direction. An end of the reel 4 away from the screw segment 40 is provided with a fixing portion 41 for fixing a distal end of the drawstring 5, and a positioning portion 43 protruding from an outer side surface of the reel 4 to be abutted against the drawstring holder 60 to position an initial position of the reel 4.

[0021] The curtain winding device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure screws the reel 4 to the nut 62 fixed on the beam 1 through the screw segment 40. When the reel 4 is rotated by the driving force of the power mechanism 2 or an external pulling force, the reel 4 can move in the axial direction with respect to the nut 62, thereby causing the drawstring 5 to be retracted or released relative to the reel 4. The end of the reel 4 is further provided with the positioning portion 43, so that each reel 4 can be rotated to abut against the drawstring holder 60 through the positioning portion 43 at the time of assembly, thereby synchronizing the initial positions of the reels 4. On the basis of synchronizing the initial positions of the reels 4, the drawstrings 5 are further wound or unwound, and it can be ensured that when the reels 4 are synchronously rotated to retract or release the drawstrings 5, the drawstrings 5 can be properly synchronously retracted or released, thereby effectively ensuring a stationarity of retracting or releasing of a curtain body 7 connected to the drawstrings 5 within an entire lifting or falling height range (such as the height interval shown by H in FIG. 6). By providing the cone segments 42 on the reels 4, when the drawstring 5 is wound on the cone segment 42 (the BC section as shown in FIG. 6) to be retracted or released, the pulling force will change correspondingly with the change of the lifting or falling height of the curtain body 7 connected to the drawstring 5 (such as the height interval shown by H2 in FIG. 6). However, the diameter at the stress point on the cone segment 4 also changes synchronously, and the distal end of the drawstring 5 is fixed to the fixing portion 41 of the end of the reel 4 away from the screw segment 40, thereby making the outer diameter of the stress force of the cone segment 42 where the pulling force is relatively great is relatively less. By setting an appropriate taper, the moment of the drawstring 5 acting on the cone segment 42 can be relatively stable, so that the power mechanism 2 having a constant torque output or a small torque variation interval can be used, and the cost of the power mechanism 2 can be effectively reduced.

[0022] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the reel 4 further includes a straight segment 44 extending from an end of the cone segment 42 away from the screw segment 40. Each outer diameter of the straight segment 44 is equal to a maximum outer diameter of the cone segment 42. The fixing portion 41 and the positioning portion 43 are both disposed at an end of the straight segment 44 away from the cone segment 42. In the embodiment, the straight segment 44 extends from the distal end of the cone segment 42 and has the outer diameter equal to the maximum outer diameter of the cone segment 42, and the fixing portion 41 is disposed at the distal end of the straight segment 44. Therefore, when the drawstring 5 is wound on the straight segment 44 (the CD section as shown in FIG. 6), the curtain body 7 is unfolded to a relatively low position, as shown by the height interval shown by H3 in FIG. 6, and at this time, the pulling force exerted on the reel 4 by the drawstring 5 is relatively less and the rate of change of the pulling force is not great. Therefore, although it is a straight segment 44 having the same outer diameter, it can still support the curtain body 7 more stably, and the same outer diameter is also convenient to manufacture.

[0023] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the outer surfaces of the straight segment 44 and the cone segment 42 are integrally connected to form a first external thread 45. The first external thread 45 is connected to a second external thread 46 formed on the outer surface of the screw segment 40 and screwed to the nut 62. After the drawstring 5 is fixed to the fixing portion 41 through the distal end, the drawstring 5 is wound on the reel 4 along threaded grooves 450 and 460 of the first thread 45 and the second thread 46. In the embodiment, the first external thread 45 is formed on the outer surfaces of the straight segment 44 and the cone segment 42, and is connected to the second thread 46 of the screw segment 40. The drawstring 5 can be well guided along the threaded grooves 450 and 460 to be wound on the reel 4, which avoids chaotic winding of the drawstring 5, and which better ensures the stationarity of the lifting or lowering of the curtain body 7. When the drawstring 5 is wound on the second thread 46 of the screw segment 40 (the CD section as shown in FIG. 6), correspondingly, the curtain body 7 is pulled up to be a relatively high position, as shown by the height interval shown by H1 in FIG. 6. At this time, the pulling force exerted on the reel 4 by the drawstring 5 is relatively great and the rate of change of the pulling force is less. Therefore, even though the drawstring 5 is wound on the screw segment 40 having the same outer diameter, the drawstring 5 can still support the curtain body 7 stably.

[0024] In another embodiment, the beam 1 is fixed with a base 6 one-to-one correspondence with the reel 4. Opposite ends of the base 6 are respectively fixed with the nut 62, and a blocking plate 64 for defining an axial movement stroke of the reel 4. The reel 4 is disposed between the nut 62 and the blocking plate 64, in parallel with the base 6, and is screwed to the nut 52 through the screw segment 40. In the specific implementation, the nut 62 can be fixed to an end of the base 6 through a snap-fit structure. In the embodiment, the base 6 is disposed on the beam 1 in one-to-one correspondence with the reel 4, and the nut 62 is fixed to the base 6. The assembly effect can be effectively improved. By providing the blocking plate 64 on the base 6 to define the axial movement stroke of the reel 4, it is possible to prevent the screw segment 40 of the reel 4 from being completely detached from the nut 62, and the reel 4 can be ensured to always rotate normally to realize retracting or releasing the drawstring 5.

[0025] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, a middle of the base 6 is provided with the drawstring holder 60. The drawstring holder 60 protrudes toward the reel 4 with respect to the middle of the base 6. The drawstring holder 60 is provided with a drawstring hole 600 through which the drawstring 5 extends, and a drawstring wheel 602 that guides an extending direction of the drawstring 5. In the embodiment, the drawstring holder 60 is disposed on the base 6, so that assembly can be further facilitated. The drawstring holder 60 protrudes toward the reel 4 with respect to the middle of the base 6, so that the positioning portion 43 can be effectively abutted against the drawstring holder 60.

[0026] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the blocking plate 64 further defines a passage 640 through which the transmission rod 3 extends. In the embodiment, the blocking plate 64 defines the passage 640 for the transmission rod 3 extending through, so that the connection fit of the transmission rod 3 and the reel 4 does not be affected.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the thickness of the portioning portion 43 in the axial direction of the reel 4 and the abutting position of the positioning portion 43 on the drawstring holder 60 are set such that the positioning portion 43 and the drawstring holder 60 are displaced from each other after the reel 4 is rotated one rotation from the initial position. By adopting such a design, when the reel 4 is rotated from the initial position in a first direction, the positioning portion 43 does not abut against the drawstring holder 60, that is, the drawstring holder 60 will not interfere with the normal rotation of the reel 4. When the reel 4 is reversely rotated back to the initial position, the positioning portion 43 can effectively abut against the drawstring holder 60 to prevent the reel 4 from excessively rotating, so that the reel 4 is accurately held at the initial position, thereby effectively protecting the positional synchronization of each reel 4.

[0028] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the power mechanism 2 includes a housing 20, a spring shaft 22 and an output shaft 24 rotatably disposed in the housing 20 in parallel with each other, and a scroll spring 26 that is wound on the spring shaft 22 and has an outer end fixed to the output shaft 24 to output a constant torque. The output shaft 24 and the transmission rod 3 are in drive connection. In the embodiment, by using the scroll spring 26 that outputs the constant torque, the cost of the power mechanism 2 can be effectively reduced.

[0029] The specific embodiments described above further explain the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the present invention. It is to be understood that the foregoing description is only specific embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements made within the spirit and scope of the present invention are intended to be included in the scope of the present invention.
