As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, an integrated control type hollow curtain includes a front glass panel 2, a rear glass panel 3 and a curtain body frame 1; the front glass panel 2 and the rear glass panel 3 are connected to front and rear surfaces of the curtain body frame 1; and the joints between the glass panels and the curtain body frame 1 are sealed to form an internally hollow and sealed curtain. Curtain pieces 12, a drive motor 8, a curtain shaft 11, a main control board 6, a battery 7 and the like in the curtain body frame 1 are well protected in a sealed space, thereby reducing the influence of an external environment on the internal components, greatly reducing the failure rate, and prolonging the service life of a curtain product.


In this solution, the lengths of the front glass panel 2 and the rear glass panel 3 are greater than the length of the curtain body frame 1, and the widths thereof are greater than the width of the curtain body frame 1, such that after the two glass panels are connected with the curtain body frame 1, recesses 100 are formed in side surfaces of the periphery of the hollow curtain. Recesses 100 in side surfaces of the periphery of hollow glass have two purposes as follows: side edges of the hollow glass can be inserted into an installation position of the curtain, the installation is simple, and the firmness of installation can be ensured; and light bars can also be arranged inside the recesses to add the luminous or decorative function of the hollow curtain.


The top of the curtain body frame 1 is provided with a front baffle 4 and a rear baffle 5 to shield a hollow curtain control system in a top area of the frame, making the hollow curtain as a whole more concise and attractive.


As shown in FIG. 4, the front baffle 4 is a straight plate, and the rear baffle is a C-shaped folded plate; the rear baffle 5 includes a side plate, an upper plate 51 and a lower plate 52; and after the front baffle 4 and the rear baffle 5 are connected together, the front baffle 4, the side plate, the upper plate 51 and the lower plate 52 define a rectangular cavity for placing an electronic control system, such as the drive motor 8, the battery 7, the main control board 6 and the like, thereby providing further protection for the control system of the curtain.


Upper and lower sides of the front baffle 4 are provided with inner hook edges 41; edges of the upper plate 51 and the lower plate 52 of the rear baffle 5 are provided with grooves 512 that are respectively adapted to the two inner hook edges 41 of the front baffle 4; and during connection, the inner hook edges 41 of the front baffle 4 slide into the grooves along the grooves 512 of the rear baffle 5 from a side direction, until the ends of the front baffle 4 and the rear baffle 5 are aligned with each other. The front baffle 4 and the rear baffle 5 are both made of plastics or aluminum profiles.


The middle of an inner wall of the rear baffle 5 is provided with a raised transverse division bar 53; the drive motor 8 is installed above the transverse division bar 53; the battery 7 (a lithium battery) is installed below the transverse division bar 53; and the drive motor 8 is stacked on the battery 7. A distance between the upper plate 51 and the lower plate 52 of the rear baffle 5 is equal to a sum of the heights of the drive motor 8 and the battery 7, such that the rectangular cavity defined by the front baffle and the rear baffle 5 can be just loaded with the longitudinally stacked drive motor 8 and the battery 7. Therefore, the drive motor 8 and the battery 7 in the present invention can be fixed in the hollow curtain by means of the upper plate 51 and the lower plate 52, without being installed by use of additional connecting pieces. In addition, a top control portion of the hollow curtain in the present invention has a compact structure, thereby preventing a top control area from being too large, and reserving a larger space for the curtain pieces 12 below. By adopting the product in this solution, better indoor light transmission can be obtained.


In the present invention, the hollow curtain is provided with a solar panel 9. The solar panel 9 is installed on an outer surface of the rear baffle 5 and positioned inside the hollow glass to provide protection for the solar panel 9 and prevent the solar panel 9 from being exposed to the external environment to be corroded with rainwater and oxidized with air for a long time to cause consumption and drop, such that the present invention can prolong the service life of the solar panel 9.


In the present invention, the electronic control system of the hollow curtain includes the main control board 6, the drive motor 8 and the lithium battery, and the main control board 6 integrates a control chip, a wireless transceiver and the like. The control chip is configured to receive a signal and send an instruction to the drive motor 8 to control forward or reverse rotation of the drive motor 8 to complete the winding and unwinding of the curtain; the wireless transceiver is configured to obtain a control signal of a wireless remote controller and then transmit the signal to the control chip; the wireless remote controller needs to be subjected to code pairing with the wireless transceiver before use; a magnetic inductive code pairing key 10 of the wireless transceiver is arranged at a position, close to the main control board 6, of the front glass panel 2, and the back of the wireless remote controller is provided with a magnet; and the wireless remote controller is close to the magnetic inductive code pairing key 10, and then a key P2 (code pairing key) on the wireless remote controller is pressed to complete code pairing, such that a control instruction can be sent to the control system of the hollow curtain via the wireless remote controller.


According to the present invention, when the hollow curtain is installed, the front glass panel 2 provided with the inductive code pairing key should face the inside, and the surface provided with the solar panel 9 should face the outside, such that a user can complete the pairing between the wireless remote controller and the electronic control system indoors, and the solar panel 9 can also receive outdoor light.


In the present invention, the wireless transceiver is equipped with a receiving antenna, which can improve the signal receiving sensitivity. The receiving antenna is a flexible printed circuit (FPC) antenna. The FPC antenna is attached to an inner side surface of the front baffle 4 or the rear baffle 5, such that there are no problems of antenna scattering and space occupation, and the sensitivity and stability of the control signal are ensured.


The drive motor 8 is connected with the main control board 6 via a connecting terminal to obtain the control instruction; a mechanical output end of the drive motor 8 is connected to the curtain shaft 11, and the curtain shaft 11 is driven to rotate during operation, thereby winding or unwinding the curtain pieces 12; and the curtain pieces 12 in this solution may be shutter blinds, honeycomb blinds, blind fabrics, etc.


The drive motor 8, the lithium battery and the main control board 6 are arranged on a same side of the curtain body frame 1, the main control board 6 is positioned on a side of the curtain body frame 1, and the drive motor 8 and the lithium battery are arranged next to the main control board 6, thereby making full use of an installation space in the curtain body frame 1, such that the overall structure of the hollow curtain is more compact. The size of the drive motor 8 is equivalent to the size of the lithium battery, thereby preventing the lithium battery from affecting the curtain winding and unwinding of the curtain shaft 11.


The solar panel 9 is arranged on a left side (a right side) of the curtain body frame 1, and the drive motor 8, the lithium battery and the main control board 6 are arranged on the right side (the left side) of the curtain body frame 1, thereby achieving the effect of counterweight balance to a certain extent, and avoiding the risk of deflection of the curtain body frame 1 due to the fact that all the components are arranged on the same side.


The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combinations of these technical features, all should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.


The above embodiments only express some implementations of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but cannot be understood as limiting the scope of patent protection of the present invention. It should be noted that various modifications and improvements that can be made by those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the concept of the present invention belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
