The present invention relates to the technical field of curtains, in particular to a driving device for an electric-driven roller blind and the electric-driven roller blind thereof.
Traditional curtains are generally hand-driven. With the development of science and technology, more and more curtains are automatized and intelligentized, and increasing electric curtains spring up in the market, such as electric-driven roller blinds. The driving device of an electric-driven roller blind mainly comprises a tubular motor, a control module and a power supply, and the driving device is often inserted into a roller tube. Among the roller blinds in the market, various tubular motors with different diameters are available, such as Φ 15 mm, Φ 6 mm, Φ 8 mm, Φ 22 mm, Φ 25 mm, Φ 28 mm and etc. Accordingly, there are many matched roller tubes with varied diameters, such as Φ 8 mm, Φ 20 mm, Φ 25 mm, Φ 28 mm, Φ 32 mm, Φ 35 mm, Φ 38 mm and etc. In consideration of these combinations, the manufacturing enterprises may invest more for repetitive research and development; as for downstream enterprises for assembling, the assembly efficiency is severely lowered since the products are complicated due to numerous types, and social resources are greatly wasted as a result of lack of consolidated standards.
Besides, the length of the tubular motor is relatively long, and the minimum width of the roller blinds produced is relatively large, so that these electric-driven roller blinds can't be fit into windows with relatively small widths. Meantime, due to the limited mounting space in the interior of the tubular motor, it demands higher requirements to assemble the parts therein, and in turns increasing cost. In addition, the conventional tubular motor usually adopts a combined structure of a planetary gear and a brake block, suffering the defects that the smaller the motor diameter is, the less the torque becomes, and the higher the technical requirement, and the more difficult in noise control.
One objective of the present disclosure is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior arts by providing a driving device for an electric-driven roller blind and the electric-driven roller blind thereof, and the electric-driven roller blind has the advantages of simple structure, self-locking function, convenience in assembly, low cost, capability of consolidating motors of different diameter types, and suitability for fitting windows of various sizes.
