Because the opening and closing device 100 for the curtains is directly hung on the curtain track 30, it does not need to use auxiliary tools for installation, the operation is simple and the cost is reduced. Moreover, when the remote control terminal fails or the user is inconvenient to use it, the user can manually control the movement of the opening and closing device 100 for the curtains, so as to open and close the curtains, which is more convenient for the user.
Specifically, in the embodiment, the signal transceiver module 16 is mounted on the controller 15, and the controller 15 is provided with a charging module 17.
It should be understood that the remote control terminal may be a remote control specifically for controlling the opening and closing device 100 for the curtains, or a smart electronic device such as a mobile phone.
Refer to FIG.2 and
Preferably, the elastic piece 212 is a spring and sleeved on the connecting rod 211. After the spring is compressed, the connecting rod 211 obtains a force pushing the base 23, the base 12 is moved towards the curtain track 30 under the function of the force and the shell 12 is driven to move together so that the driving wheel 13 is pressed closely on the bottom plate 32 for the curtain track 30.

In the embodiment, the first chamber 231, the second chamber 232, and the first through hole 233 are arranged in the base 23, and the second chamber 232 and the first through hole 233 are respectively located on opposite sides of the first chamber 231 and both communicated with the first chamber 231. The elastic piece 212 is accommodated in the first chamber 231, and the connecting rod 211 is provided with a stopping part 234. One end of the elastic piece 212 is against an inner wall, close to the roller assemble 22, of the first chamber 231, the other end of the elastic piece 212 is against the stopping part 234.
Thus, when installing the opening and closing device 100 for the curtains, the user pulls the base 23 towards a direction far away from the curtain track 30, due to the connection of the connecting rod 211 and the roller assembly 22, the base 23 will be moved relative to the connecting rod 211 in the direction far away the curtain track 30 and the elastic piece 212 is compressed. After the user releases the base 23, the elastic piece 212 pushes the base 23 towards the curtain track 30 under the action of its own elastic force, the base 23 drives the shell 12 to move together, thereby pressing the driving wheel 12 closely on the curtain track 30, which promises that the opening and closing device 100 can operate smoothly. Moreover, due to the spring having a certain amount of expansion, the opening and closing device 100 for the curtains can adapt to the curtain track 30 with different thicknesses, improving the practicability of the opening and closing device 100.

When installing the roller assembly 22 on the curtain track 30, the two vertical plates 224 can be pushed respectively outward at a certain angle, so that the distance between the two wheels 222 is greater than the width of the bottom plate 32 so that the wheels 222 can be directly held into the curtain track 30, which facilitates the installation of the roller assembly 22 and adapts the roller assembly 22 to the curtain track 30 with different widths, and improves the practicability of the roller assembly 22.
Refer to
The protrusion 225 is provided with a second through hole fitting with the hook 214, the roller assembly 22 is detachably connected with the connecting rod 211 through the cooperation of the hook 214 and the second through hole.
With these structures, the connecting method of the connecting rod 211 and the roller assembly 22 is simple, the assembly is convenient, moreover, the friction between the roller assembly 22 and the curtain track 30 can be reduced by the wheels 222 to facilitate the opening and closing device 100 to move along the curtain track 30. Moreover, when selecting the appropriate roller mechanism 20 according to the width dimension for the curtain track 30, it may replace the roller assembly 22.
Specifically, in the embodiment, the base 23 may be detachable in the mounting slot 121 so that the user may choose to replace the whole roller mechanism 20 or to replace only the roller assembly 22.
It should be understood that the base 23 is not limited in detachably mounted in the mounting slot 121, for example, it may be fixed in the mounting slot 121.
