The technical field relates to a curtain track, in particular, to an electric curtain track structure.
To improve the stylish look and appearance, modern curtains are often installed with various types of decorative heads at the two ends of a horizontal curtain rod in order to present a unique style variation and visual sensation of the curtain, in light of increasing the overall quality appearance and economic benefit.
However, for electric curtains, since the rear ends of a curtain track are typically installed with actuators, the installation locations of the actuators can hinder the installation of the aforementioned decorative heads. Consequently, the decorative heads cannot be installed at the two ends of the curtain track, and the aesthetic appearance of the curtain is affected by the exposure of the actuators.
In view of above, the inventor seeks to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks associated with the currently existing technology after years of research and development along with the utilization of academic theories, which is also the objective of the development of the present invention.
An objective of the present invention is to provide an electric curtain track structure in order to allow the decorative heads to be installed onto the two ends of the decorative panel, such that the overall aesthetic appearance of the curtain can be improved.
To achieve the aforementioned objective, the present invention provides an electric curtain track structure comprising a guiding track assembly, a first actuator, a transmission assembly and a decorative assembly. The guiding track assembly comprises a guiding track main body having a first bending section and a second bending section opposite from each other. The first actuator is installed on the first bending section. The transmission assembly comprises a transmission cable and a plurality of first hooks. The transmission cable is inserted into the guiding track main body and driven by the first actuator in order to move along the guiding track main body together with the plurality of first hooks. The decorative assembly comprises a decorative panel and a pair of decorative heads. The decorative panel is attached onto an outer side surface of the guiding track main body, and two ends of the decorative panel respectively protruded out of the guiding track man body in order to allow the decorative heads to be correspondingly installed on an outer side of the first bending section and the second bending section respectively.
In comparison to prior arts, the electric curtain track structure of the present invention includes first bending section and the second bending section arranged opposite from each other, and the decorative panel of the decorative assembly is attached onto an outer side surface of the guiding track main body. In addition, the two ends of the decorative panel protrude out of the guiding track main body in order to allow the decorative heads to be correspondingly installed onto the outer sides of the first bending section and the second bending second. Accordingly, the decorative heads can be prevented from being hindered by the first actuator in order to be installed on the two ends of the decorative panel. Therefore, the first actuator can be concealed such that the aesthetic appearance is improved and the practicableness of the present invention is enhanced.
