Description

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of window curtains, and in particular to a hand-held zebra curtain with an upper beam adjustable mainspring.

Background

The existing spring roller blind generally comprises a bracket and a scroll which are arranged on both sides, and a spring bar is arranged in the scroll. A limiting spring is sleeved on the spring bar, and a spring tail plug is installed at the end part of the limiting spring. The resilience force of the limiting spring requires rotation in advance according to the size and weight of the curtain to supply force. Moreover, the resilience circles of the spring bar with this structure are limited. The resilience force is not balanced. If more resilience circles and more balanced resilience force are needed, a longer spring bar is needed, but a window curtain with small width cannot be put. Therefore, this structure is only applicable to a single-layer curtain. A double-layer roller blind needs double cloth, and cannot be completely folded.
The existing hand-held zebra curtain with an upper beam adjustable mainspring uses the resilience force of a mainspring and a counterweight iron below a lower bar to balance their forces to ensure that the roller blind does not rebound in a stationary state. However, in mass production, due to the deviation of the resilience force of the mainspring, the roller blind sometimes rebounds when the counterweights of the same weight are used. At this moment, the counterweights need to be added so that the operation is tedious and the efficiency is low during production.
US 2016/0130863 A1 discloses a light input-adjusting window shade including a supporting member having first and second ends respectively coupled to a positioning seat and a level fixing device. The level fixing device includes a housing and a transmission unit includes a rotational shaft extending beyond the housing. A first end of a spool is rotatably mounted to the positioning seat. A second end of the spool is coupled to the rotational shaft of the level fixing device. A first periphery of a shade body is fixed to and coiled around the spool. The shade body is wound around a rod of a weighting unit. A second periphery of the shade body is fixed to a coupling portion of the supporting member.

The left bracket 1 is provided with a rotating plunger 24, and the front end of the rotating plunger 24 is in interference fit with the scroll 4. Of course, it shall be noted that, if the width of the roller blind is large, the single mainspring 7 is used for shrinkage, which certainly causes insufficient torque. At this moment, a structure of the coiling device which is the same as the right bracket 2 can be designed on the left bracket 1, to provide double torques to ensure the use of the roller blind with large width.
During use, the mainspring 7 accumulates the torque while the roller blind moves down. Under the matching of the counterweight 22, as long as the handle part is pulled down, the zebra curtain can be pulled and stopped at any time. If the torque is not sufficient when the curtain is folded, as long as the turntable is rotated, the turntable drives the mainspring coiling disk to coil the mainspring properly. The torque sufficient for folding the curtain is preset to regulate the contractive torque of the scroll to completely store the curtain.
As shown in Fig. 5, the right bracket 2 is also provided with a resistance regulating device for regulating the resilience force of the mainspring 7; the resistance regulating device comprises a regulating screw 30, a hexagon nut matched with the regulating screw 30, a pressing block 34, a spring 33 and a rubber washer; the second fixing column 29 is provided with a through hole matched with the hexagon nut and the pressing block 34 and having a hexagonal section; the regulating screw 30 is inserted into the through hole from outside to inside; the hexagon nut is arranged on the regulating screw 30 and can axially move along the regulating screw 30; the pressing block 34 is sleeved outside the regulating screw 30; the spring 33 is sleeved on the regulating screw 30 and champed between the hexagon nut and the pressing block 34; the mainspring coiling disk 9 is provided with a fixing groove matched with the second fixing column 29; a limiting part matched with the pressing block 34 is arranged in the fixing groove; and the rubber washer is sleeved on the external spline 20 and padded between the end cover 26 and the mainspring coiling disk 9.
During production, if the resilience force of the mainspring 7 has deviation to rebound, there is no need to add the counterweight; the regulating screw 30 on the right bracket 2 is only required to rotate counterclockwise with a tool, so that the hexagon nut moves towards the pressing block 34, to push the spring 33 and the pressing block 34 to move. The pressing block 34 pushes the mainspring coiling disk 9 to extrude and approach towards the end cover 26, so as to extrude the rubber washer and increase the frictional force between the mainspring coiling disk 9 and the end cover 26, thereby regulating the resilience force of the mainspring 7.
The invention is exemplarily described above in combination with the drawings. Obviously, the implementation of the invention is not limited by the above modes. Various improvements made by adopting the method ideas and technical solutions of the invention or the ideas and technical solutions of the invention directly applied to other occasions without improvements shall be within the protection scope of the invention, as defined by the appended claims.
