A drive force receiving piece 11 for connecting a motor drive shaft is disposed at a side of the drive force receiving part 10 away from the clutch controlling part 20; an output connection position 61 is disposed at a side of the drive force outputting part 60 away from the clutch controlling part 20 to output a drive force and connect with another rotary shaft or rotary disk.
Specifically, as shown in
The clutch controlling part 20 further comprises, for example, a clutch piece 50 and a second control piece 40. The clutch piece 50 is disposed at the first direction driving position 31 or the first direction disengaging position 32; the second control piece 40 is sleeved around the first control piece 30 and the clutch piece 50 to ensure the clutch piece 50 is located at the first direction driving position 31 or the first direction disengaging position 32, thus preventing the clutch piece 50 from being separated from the first direction driving position 31 or the first direction disengaging position 32.
A drive force transmission member 62 is also disposed at a side of the drive force outputting part 60 close to the clutch controlling part 20. When the clutch piece 50 is located at the first direction driving position 31, the drive force transmission member 62 is engaged with the clutch piece 50; when the clutch piece 50 is located at the first direction disengaging position 32, the drive force transmission member 62 is disengaged from the clutch piece 50. For example, the first direction driving position 31 and the first direction disengaging position 32 are both sunken grooves disposed at a side of the first control piece 30 close to the drive force outputting part 60, and a depth of the first direction disengaging position 32 is greater than a depth of the first direction driving position 31. Therefore, when the clutch piece 50 is located at the first direction driving position 31, the drive force transmission member 62, the first control piece 30 and the second control piece 40 cooperate to clamp the clutch piece 50 at the first direction driving position 31; when the clutch piece 50 is located at the first direction disengaging position 32, there is a gap between the drive force transmission member 62 and the clutch piece 50, that is, the drive force transmission member 62 is not in contact with the clutch piece 50.
Preferably, a first matching position 63 is disposed at a position of the drive force transmission member 62 corresponding to the first direction driving position 31. When the clutch piece 50 is located at the first direction driving position 31, the clutch piece 50 is clamped between the first direction driving position 31 and the first matching position 63. Preferably, for example, the clutch piece 50 may be of a spherical structure, and the first matching position 63 may be a concave arc-shaped groove matched with the spherical structure.
As shown in
Further, a switching position 35 is also disposed on the transfer channel 36, and located at a side of the first control piece 30 close to the drive force receiving part 10. Certainly, the switching position 35 may also be disposed at a connection of the first control piece 30 and the drive force receiving part 10. For example, the first direction driving position 31, the first direction disengaging position 32, the second direction driving position 33 and the second direction disengaging position 34 are disposed at a side of the first control piece 30 close to the drive force outputting part 60 respectively, whereas the switching position 35 is disposed at a side of the first control piece 30 close to the drive force receiving part 10. Certainly, the first direction driving position 31, the first direction disengaging position 32, the second direction driving position 33 and the second direction disengaging position 34 may be located at different positions of the transfer channel 36 respectively, and the first direction disengaging position 32 is located between the first direction driving position 31 and the switching position 35 and the second direction disengaging position 34 is located between the second direction driving position 33 and the switching position 35. In this case, depths of the sunken grooves of the first direction disengaging position 32 and the second direction disengaging position 34 at the side of the first control piece 30 close to the drive force outputting part 60 are greater than those of the first direction driving position 31 and the second direction driving position 33 respectively.
Certainly, two or more opposing first direction driving positions 31 and second direction driving positions 33 and two or more corresponding transfer channels 36 may be disposed on the first control piece 30, and two or more clutch pieces 50 may be disposed at the clutch controlling part 20 at the same time; specifically, one clutch piece 50 corresponds to a pair of first direction driving position 31 and second direction driving position 33.
For example, the side of the first controlling piece 30 close to the drive force outputting part 60 may be sized such that two first direction driving positions 31 and two first direction disengaging positions 32 connected with the two first direction driving positions respectively are disposed. Further, two second direction driving positions 33 corresponding to the two first direction driving positions 31 respectively and two second direction disengaging positions 34 connected with the two second direction driving positions 33 respectively may also be disposed on the first control piece 30. As shown in
Further, as shown in
Further, to ensure the second control piece 40 and the first control piece 30 are correctly matched and mounted, a first limiting position 12 may be disposed at a side of the drive force receiving part 10, and a second limiting position 42 may be correspondingly disposed at an outer side of the second control piece 40 away from the first control piece 30. When the second control piece 40 is sleeved around the first control piece 30 and the clutch piece 50 and the second limiting position 42 corresponds to the first limiting position 12, the second control piece 40 is correctly sleeved on the first control piece 30.
To understand the embodiment more clearly, the specific implementation process of the clutch in the embodiment will be described in detail below.
For example, the drive force receiving part 10 receives a drive force and drives the drive force outputting part 60 to output the drive force through the clutch controlling part 20 in the following process.
On the one hand, for example, when the drive force receiving part 10 receives a drive force in a first direction (a counterclockwise direction) and rotates, the first control piece 30 is also rotated along the first direction under the drive of the drive force receiving part 10; at this time, the clutch piece 50 is clamped among the guide position 41, the first direction driving position 31 and the first matching position 63; further, under the matching action of the above three components, the clutch piece 50 is fixed at the first direction driving position 31, and can transmit the drive force to the drive force transmission member 62 through the first matching position 63, so that the drive force outputting part 60 rotates along the first direction.
On the other hand, when the drive force receiving part 10 receives a drive force in a second direction (a clockwise direction), the clutch piece 50 is clamped among the guide position 41, the second direction driving position 33 and the second matching position 64; further, under the matching action of the above three components, the clutch piece 50 is fixed at the second direction driving position 33, and can transmit the drive force to the drive force transmission member 62 through the second matching position 64, so as to drive the drive force outputting part 60 to rotate along the second direction.
For example, when the drive force receiving part 10 receives the drive force and drives the drive force outputting part 60 to output the drive force through the clutch controlling part 20, the clutch controlling part 20 may be disengaged from the drive force outputting part 60 to stop outputting the drive force in the following process.
When the clutch piece 50 is located at the first direction driving position 31 and drives the drive force outputting part 60 to output the drive force in the first direction, the drive force receiving part 10 stops receiving the drive force in the first direction, and rotates a certain distance along the second direction opposite to the first direction; at this time, the first control piece 30 also rotates a certain distance along the second direction. In this case, the clutch piece 50 moves to the first direction disengaging position 32 relative to the first control piece 30, thereby realizing disengagement of the clutch controlling part 20 from the drive force outputting part 60. Certainly, when the clutch piece 50 is located at the second direction driving position 33 and drives the drive force outputting part 60 to output the drive force in the second direction, the process of disengaging the clutch controlling part 20 from the drive force outputting part 60 is similar to the above process, and thus is not repeated herein.
Certainly, the process of disengaging the clutch controlling part 20 from the drive force outputting part 60 may also be realized without receiving a drive force in a reverse direction by the drive force receiving part 10. For example, when the drive force receiving part 10 stops receiving the drive force in the first direction (or the second direction), the second control piece 40 is rotated along the second direction (or the first direction) to drive the clutch piece 50 to move to the corresponding disengaging position through the guide position 41, which will not be repeated herein.
For example, when the drive force receiving part 10 receives the drive force in the first direction and drives the drive force outputting part 60 to output the drive force in the first direction through the clutch controlling part 20, the drive force receiving part 10 receives the drive force in the second direction opposite to the first direction and drives the drive force outputting part 60 to output the drive force in the second direction through the clutch controlling part 20 in the following process.
When the clutch piece 50 is located at the first direction driving position 31, the drive force receiving part 10 drives the drive force outputting part 60 to output the drive force in the first direction through the clutch controlling part 20. When the drive force receiving part 10 stops receiving the drive force in the first direction and receives the drive force in the second direction opposite to the first direction, the drive force receiving part 10 drives the first control piece 30 to rotate along the second direction opposite to the first direction. Thus, the first control piece 30 rotates relative to the second control piece 40 and the second control piece 40 moves the clutch piece 50 to the second direction driving position 33 along the transfer channel 36 by use of the guide position 41. Therefore, after the drive force receiving part 10 switches to receive the drive force in the second direction, the drive force outputting part 60 is driven by the clutch controlling part 20 to output the drive force in the second direction. Certainly, the process in which the drive force receiving part 10 switches to receiving the drive force in the first direction from receiving the drive force in the second direction is same as the above process, and thus is not repeated herein.
Specifically, the motor body 210 has a drive shaft 211 for outputting a drive force, and the drive shaft 211 is connected to the drive force receiving part 10 of the clutch 100. For example, the drive force receiving piece 11 disposed on the drive force receiving part 10 may be a connecting shaft hole, and the drive shaft 211 is inserted into the connecting shaft hole to enable the motor body 210 to output a forward or backward drive force to the drive force receiving part 10.
For example, an output connection position 61 may also be disposed at the drive force outputting part 60 of the clutch 100 (refer to
As shown in
Specifically, the first wire reel 310 is connected to the drive force outputting part 60 of the motor device 200 and more specifically, may be connected to the drive force output shaft 65. A certain distance is set between the first wire reel 310 and the second wire reel 320, and the curtain control rope 330 is wound between the first wire reel 310 and the second wire reel 320. For example, the motor device 200 drives the first wire reel 310 to rotate through the drive force outputting part 60, and the first wire reel 310 drives the second wire reel 320 to rotate through the curtain control rope 330.
For example, the first wire reel 310 and the second wire reel 320 may be geared reels, and the curtain control rope 330 may be a geared belt engaged with the geared reels; the motor device 200 drives the geared reel serving as the first wire reel 310 to rotate, and drives the other geared reel engaged with the geared belt to rotate through the geared belt engaged with the geared reel, which will not be repeated herein.
For example, the curtain control device may be used as follows: the first wire reel 310 and the second wire reel 320 are fixed at both ends of a window respectively, the curtain control rope 330 is wound between the first wire reel 310 and the second wire reel 320, and the motor device 200 is connected to the first wire reel 310 or the second wire reel 320; and then, a curtain is hung on the curtain control rope 330.
