Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative only for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

The driving mechanism 100 of the laundry treating apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 43. The laundry treating apparatus may be a washing machine, for example, the laundry treating apparatus may be a pulsator washing machine.

As shown in fig. 1 to 6 and fig. 19 to 23, the power transmission mechanism 100 of the clothes treating apparatus according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention includes a first executing unit 300, a second executing unit 400 and a power unit 200, and the power transmission mechanism 100 includes: a mounting seat 11, a first moving member 2, a second moving member 3, and a link 5.

The first moving member 2 is adapted to be connected to the first control member 301 of the first execution unit 300, for example, the first moving member 2 may be formed with a socket 212, and one end of the first control member 301 is inserted into the socket 212. The first moving element 2 is movably disposed on the mounting base 11 along a first direction (refer to the direction of e1 in the drawing) to move the first control element 301. When the first moving element 2 moves along the first direction, the first moving element 2 may drive the first control element 301 to move, so that the working state of the first execution unit 300 may be adjusted. The second moving element 3 is adapted to be connected to a second control element of the second execution unit 400, and the second moving element 3 is movably disposed on the mounting base 11 along the first direction to drive the second control element to move. When the second moving element 3 moves along the first direction, the second moving element 3 may drive the second operating element to move, so that the operating state of the second executing unit 400 may be adjusted.

The linkage piece 5 is movably arranged on the mounting seat 11 to enable the first moving piece 2 and the second moving piece 3 to be linked or not linked, and the driving component is used for driving the linkage piece 5 to move. By the movement of the linkage member 5, the first moving member 2 and the second linkage member 5 can be linked or not linked, so that the switching between the linkage and the non-linkage between the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 can be conveniently adjusted. When the first moving part 2 is linked with the second moving part 3, the first moving part 2 drives the second moving part 3 to move when moving, and at the moment, the working states of the first execution unit 300 and the second execution unit 400 can be adjusted; when the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are not linked, the second moving member 3 is not moved when the first moving member 2 moves, and at this time, the working state of the first execution unit 300 may be adjusted, and the working state of the second execution unit 400 may be kept unchanged.

For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first moving member 2 has an initial position, a first position and a second position which are sequentially spaced apart in the first direction, and is moved by the link 5 when the first moving member 2 is located at the initial position, so that the first moving member 2 is linked or not linked with the second moving member 3. The first execution unit 300 may have a first operation state, a second operation state, and a third state, and the second execution unit 400 may have a first state and a second state.

When the first moving member 2 is at the initial position, the power unit 200 is not operated, the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are not moved, and the first executing unit 300 is in the first operating state and the second executing unit 400 is in the first state, and the laundry treating apparatus may be in the first operating mode (refer to fig. 2 to 7 and fig. 20 to 24). It should be noted that, in the first operation mode, since the first moving part 2 and the second moving part 3 do not move, the first moving part 2 and the second moving part 3 may be linked, and the first moving part 2 and the second moving part 3 may also be not linked.

When the driving assembly drives the linkage 5 to move so that the first moving member 2 is not linked with the second moving member 3, the power unit 200 is powered on to operate, the first moving member 2 is driven to move to the first position along the first direction, the second moving member 3 is not moved because the first moving member 2 is not linked with the second moving member 3, the operating state of the first executing unit 300 is changed to the second operating state, the operating state of the second executing unit 400 is maintained at the first state, and the laundry treatment apparatus can be in the second operating mode (refer to fig. 8, 9, 25 and 26).

When the driving assembly drives the linkage 5 to move so that the first moving member 2 is not linked with the second moving member 3, the power unit 200 is powered on to operate and drive the first moving member 2 to move to the second position along the first direction, and since the first moving member 2 is not linked with the second moving member 3 and the second moving member 3 is not moved, the operating state of the first executing unit 300 is changed to the third operating state, and the operating state of the second executing unit 400 is maintained at the first state, at which time the laundry treatment apparatus may be in the third operating mode (refer to fig. 10, 11, 27 and 28).

When the driving assembly drives the linkage member 5 to move so as to link the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3, the power unit 200 is powered on to operate to drive the first moving member 2 to move to the second position along the first direction, and due to the linkage of the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3, the first moving member 2 drives the second moving member 3 to move along the first direction when moving along the first direction, at this time, the operating state of the first execution unit 300 is changed to the third operating state, and the operating state of the second execution unit 400 is changed to the second state, at this time, the laundry treatment apparatus may be in the fourth operating mode (refer to fig. 12, 13, 29 and 30).

Through the movable linkage piece 5, and through the movement of the linkage piece 5, the first moving piece 2 and the second moving piece 3 can be conveniently in a linkage relation or not in a linkage relation, so that the first moving piece 2 can drive the second moving piece 3 to move when moving or the second moving piece 3 does not move when the first moving piece 2 moves, the working state of the first execution unit 300 or the second execution unit 400 can be changed, the working mode of the clothes treatment equipment can be adjusted, the clothes treatment equipment can also have more working modes, the adjustment of the working mode of the clothes treatment equipment can be conveniently realized, more washing requirements of users can be met, the integral structure of the clothes treatment equipment can be simplified, and the operation cost is reduced.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first execution unit 300 includes a first elastic reset element for resetting the first control element 301, and drives the first moving element 2 to reset when the first control element 301 is reset, so that the first moving element 2 can be reset to an initial position; the second executing unit 400 includes a second elastic resetting member for resetting the second operating member, and drives the second moving member 3 to reset when the second operating member is reset.

For example, in the second operation mode of the clothes treating apparatus, if the first moving member 2 is to be reset, the power unit 200 may not be operated, and the first elastic resetting member drives the first operation member 301 to reset, so as to drive the first moving member 2 to move reversely and reset to the initial position.

For another example, when the clothes treating apparatus is in the third operating mode, if the first moving member 2 is to be reset, the power unit 200 may not operate, and the first elastic resetting member drives the first operation member 301 to reset, so as to drive the first moving member 2 to move reversely and reset to the initial position.

For another example, when the laundry processing apparatus is in the fourth operation mode, if the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are to be reset, the power unit 200 may not operate, the first elastic resetting member drives the first operation member 301 to reset, so as to drive the first moving member 2 to move in the reverse direction, and the second elastic resetting member drives the second operation member to reset, so as to drive the second moving member 3 to move in the reverse direction, in this process, the first moving member 2 may simultaneously push the second moving member 3 to move in the reverse direction or the second movement may simultaneously push the first moving member 2 to move in the reverse direction, so as to reset the first moving member 2 to the initial position, and the second moving member 3 also resets.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, the power unit 200 may be a retractor, and the power unit 200 and the first mover 2 may be connected by a traction rope 201 therebetween, thereby enabling the power unit 200 to be connected to the first mover 2.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, the power unit 200 may be a single-stroke retractor, for example, the power unit 200 may be a 30mm single-stroke retractor, in which the first moving member 2 may be limited at the first position by providing a movable limiting member 71 on the mounting base 11, for example, during the process that the first moving member 2 moves from the initial position to the first position, the first moving member 2 may be avoided by the movement of the limiting member 71, so that the first moving member 2 may move smoothly to the first position along the first direction, and when the first moving member 2 is located at the first position, the limiting member 71 may limit the first moving member 2 to the limiting position, so as to limit the first moving member 2 at the first position. In addition, when the first moving member 2 is reset, the limiting member 71 may also be moved to avoid the first moving member 2, so that the first moving member 2 may be smoothly reset to the initial position. Therefore, by setting the power member 61 as a single-stroke tractor and using the limiting member 71, the first moving member 2 can be conveniently limited at the first position under the condition that the power unit 200 is powered off, and energy consumption can be saved.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, the power unit 200 may also be a two-stroke retractor, for example the power unit 200 may be a 30mm two-stroke retractor, and the movement of the first mover 2 in the first direction includes a first stroke from the initial position to the first position and a second stroke from the first position to the second position. Therefore, the first moving part 2 can be conveniently limited at the first position by the action of the double-stroke tractor without additionally arranging a limiting structure. In some embodiments, the first and second strokes may each be 15 mm.

The transmission mechanism 100 and the laundry treating apparatus having the transmission mechanism 100 will be described below by taking the laundry treating apparatus as a washing machine as an example.

In this embodiment, the operation modes of the laundry treating apparatus may include a normal washing mode, a double driving washing mode, a new water flow washing mode and a draining mode, wherein the normal washing mode is the first operation mode, the double driving washing mode is the second operation mode, the new water flow washing mode is the third operation mode, and the draining mode is the fourth operation mode. The laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, an inner tub 500 rotatably provided in the cabinet, a pulsator rotatably provided in the inner tub 500, a first actuator 300, a second actuator 400, and a driving mechanism 100 all provided in the cabinet, the first actuator 300 being connected to the inner tub 500 and the pulsator, and the second actuator 400 being openable and closable to discharge washing water.

The first execution unit 300 may be a clutch assembly, and the first manipulation member 301 may be a clutch lever of the clutch assembly, and the clutch assembly further includes a clutch brake for controlling the inner tub 500 and a locking spring for controlling a clutch relationship between the pulsator and the inner tub 500. When the clutch brake is released, the inner tub 500 is in a free state, and when the pulsator rotates, the pulsator disturbs the movement of water flow in the inner tub 500, thereby driving the inner tub 500 to rotate reversely; when the clutch is tightly held by the brake, the inner barrel 500 is locked and can not drive the inner barrel 500 to rotate when the impeller rotates. When the holding spring is loosened, the impeller is separated from the inner barrel 500, and the impeller cannot drive the inner barrel 500 to rotate when rotating; when the clasping spring is clasped tightly, the wave wheel is matched with the inner barrel 500, and the wave wheel can drive the inner barrel 500 to rotate when rotating.

Specifically, when the clutch is released and the holding spring is released, the inner tub 500 is in a free state, and when the pulsator rotates, the washing water in the inner tub 500 is driven to move, so that the inner tub 500 can be driven to rotate reversely; when the clutch is released and the holding spring is held tightly, the impeller rotates to drive the inner barrel 500 to rotate synchronously; when the clutch is clasped and the clasping spring is loosened, the inner barrel 500 is locked and is not moved, and only the impeller rotates at the moment.

The second execution unit 400 may be a drain valve, the second manipulation member may be a valve core of the drain valve, and the change of the state of the second execution unit 400 is achieved by the movement of the second manipulation member, the second execution unit 400 has an open state (the second state) and a closed state (the first state), when the second execution unit 400 is in the open state, the inner tub 500 may discharge the washing water, and when the second execution unit 400 is in the closed state, the washing water in the inner tub 500 may not be discharged through the drain valve.

The control method of the laundry treating apparatus may include:

receiving instruction information;

the power unit 200 is controlled according to the instruction information.

Referring to fig. 2 to 7 and 20 to 24, when the instruction information includes the normal washing mode, the control power unit 200 does not operate, the first moving member 2 is maintained at the initial position, the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are not moved, and the clutch lever (the first manipulating member 301) of the clutch assembly (the first executing unit 300) and the valve spool (the second manipulating member) of the drain valve (the second executing unit 400) are not moved, at which time the drain valve is closed and the clutch lever is at the initial control angle. When the clutch is tightly held and the holding spring is loosened, the inner barrel 500 is locked and only the impeller rotates, so that common washing is realized.

Referring to fig. 8, 9, 25 and 26, when the instruction information includes the dual-drive washing mode, the driving assembly is controlled to drive the linkage 5 to move, so that the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are not linked, the power unit 200 is controlled to operate, the first moving member 2 is driven to move to the first position along the first direction, and since the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are not linked, the second moving member 3 is not moved, the drain valve is closed, and the clutch lever rotates to the first control angle. The clutch is released and the holding spring is released, the inner tub 500 is in a free state, and the pulsator rotates to drive the washing water in the inner tub 500 to move, so that the inner tub 500 can be driven to rotate reversely, and the hand rubbing washing effect can be realized.

Referring to fig. 10, 11, 27 and 28, when the instruction information includes the new water flow washing mode, the driving assembly is controlled to drive the linkage 5 to move, so that the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are not linked, the power unit 200 is controlled to operate, the first moving member 2 is driven to move to the second position along the first direction, and since the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are not linked, the second moving member 3 is not moved, the drain valve is closed, and the clutch lever rotates to the second control angle. When the clutch is loosened and the clasping spring is held tightly, the impeller rotates to drive the inner barrel 500 to rotate synchronously, so that tornado water flow can be realized, the water flow impact force in the inner barrel 500 is large, and the water in the inner barrel 500 can climb upwards along the inner wall of the inner barrel 500 under the action of centrifugal force, and the washing effect is better.

Referring to fig. 12, 13, 29 and 30, when the instruction information includes the drainage mode, the driving assembly is controlled to drive the linkage 5 to move, so that the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are linked, and the power unit 200 is controlled to operate, so as to drive the first moving member 2 to move to the second position along the first direction. Due to the linkage of the first moving part 2 and the second moving part 3, the first moving part 2 drives the second moving part 3 to move along the first direction when moving along the first direction, the drain valve is opened, and the clutch deflector rod rotates to the second control angle. When the clutch is loosened and the holding spring is held tightly, the drain valve is opened, and the impeller rotates to drive the inner barrel 500 to synchronously rotate, so that drainage and dehydration can be realized.

When the laundry treating apparatus is washing laundry, any one of the normal washing mode, the double drive washing mode, and the new water stream washing mode may be performed according to a user selection, and a plurality of washing modes (at least two of the normal washing mode, the double drive washing mode, and the new water stream washing mode) may be performed. The washing mode of the laundry treatment apparatus may be input by a user through the control panel, or may be a washing mode written in advance in an electric control board of a control device of the laundry treatment apparatus.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, the washing force of the normal washing mode, the double drive washing mode, and the new water stream washing mode is sequentially increased, and when the laundry treating apparatus performs a plurality of washing modes, a washing mode having a low washing force may be preferentially performed. For example, when the laundry treating apparatus includes the above two washing modes, the washing mode with lower washing force may be executed first, and then the washing mode with higher washing force may be executed; when the clothes treatment equipment comprises the three washing modes, the washing mode with the lowest washing force can be executed firstly, then the washing mode with the higher washing force can be executed, and finally the washing mode with the highest washing force can be executed. Therefore, the power unit 200 does not need to be powered on or off frequently, and the third moving part 4 can move along the first direction according to the stroke sequence, so that the control of the whole machine is simpler and is not easy to make mistakes.

In other embodiments, when the laundry treating apparatus performs a plurality of washing modes, a washing mode with high washing force may be performed first.

In other embodiments, when the laundry treating apparatus performs a plurality of washing modes, the washing modes may be switched back and forth.

According to the transmission mechanism 100 of the clothes treatment apparatus of the embodiment of the invention, the driving action of the power unit 200 can be distributed, and the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 can have a linkage relationship or not through the action of the linkage member 5, so that the first moving member 2 can drive the second moving member 3 to move when moving or the second moving member 3 does not move when the first moving member 2 moves, and thus the clothes treatment apparatus can have more working modes, and the working states of the first execution unit 300 and the second execution unit 400 can be adjusted, so that the adjustment of the working modes of the clothes treatment apparatus can be conveniently realized, more washing requirements of a user can be met, the overall structure of the clothes treatment apparatus can be simplified, and the operation cost can be reduced.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 1 to 13, 19 to 30, and 42 and 43, the power unit 200 is a single-stroke retractor, the transmission mechanism 100 includes a limiting member 71 for limiting the first moving member 2 at the first position, and the limiting member 71 is movably disposed on the mounting base 11. In the process that the first moving member 2 moves from the initial position to the first position, the limiting member 71 moves to avoid the first moving member 2, so that in the process that the power unit 200 drives the first moving member 2 to move to drive the first moving member 2 to move along the first direction, the first moving member 2 can smoothly move along the first direction, and the limiting member 71 is prevented from blocking the first moving member 2. When the first moving member 2 is located at the first position, the limiting member 71 is engaged with the first moving member 2 to limit the first moving member 2 at the first position.

For example, when the power unit 200 drives the first moving member 2 to move to the first position, the power unit 200 is powered off, and the limiting member 71 cooperates with the first moving member 2 to limit the first moving member 2 at the first position; or, when the power unit 200 drives the first moving member 2 to move between the first position and the second position, the power unit 200 is powered off, and when the first moving member 2 moves reversely to the first position, the limiting member 71 cooperates with the first moving member 2 to limit the first moving member 2 at the first position; or, when the power unit 200 drives the first moving member 2 to move to the second position, the power unit 200 is powered off, and when the first moving member 2 moves to the first position in the reverse direction, the limiting member 71 cooperates with the first moving member 2 to limit the first moving member 2 at the first position. So that the first motion member 2 can be spacing-maintained at the first position by the spacing member 71 when the power unit 200 is powered off, so that the laundry treating apparatus can be maintained to operate in the set operation mode. For example, when the instruction information includes the dual-drive washing mode, the power unit 200 is controlled not to work when the first moving member 2 moves to the first position, between the first position and the second position, or to the second position, the first moving member 2 is located at the first position or moves reversely to the first position, and the limiting member 71 cooperates with the first moving member 2 to limit the first moving member 2 at the first position, so that the laundry treatment mode can be in the dual-drive washing mode under the condition that the power unit 200 is powered off, and energy consumption is saved.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, when the above-mentioned command information includes the double drive washing mode, the power unit 200 is controlled not to be operated while the first mover 2 is moved to the second position. When the power unit 200 is the single stroke tractor, when the first moving member 2 moves to the second position, the first moving member 2 moves by a full stroke, and at this time, the signal can be used as a power-off signal to be transmitted to the electric control board of the clothes treating apparatus, so that other signals do not need to be additionally arranged as the power-off signal of the power unit 200, and the power-off control of the power unit 200 is facilitated.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when the instruction information includes the drainage mode, in the initial position, the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are linked, the power unit 200 operates to drive the first moving member 2 to move to the second position, in the process, the limiting member 71 avoids the first moving member 2, the first moving member 2 moves to synchronously drive the second moving member 3 to move, and when the first moving member 2 moves to the second position, the power unit 200 still operates, so that the first moving member 2 is kept at the second position.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, when the above-mentioned command information includes the double drive washing mode and the new water washing mode, the power unit 200 may be controlled to be switched between the on state and the off state when the first mover 2 is moved to the second position. For example, after the laundry treatment apparatus operates in the dual-drive washing mode for a set time, the power unit 200 is controlled to be powered on, the power unit 200 continues to pull the first moving member 2 to move to the second position, at this time, the laundry treatment apparatus is in the new water flow washing mode, after the laundry treatment apparatus operates in the new water flow washing mode for the set time, the power unit 200 is controlled to be powered off, the first moving member 2 reversely moves to the first position under the action of the first operation member 301, and the first moving member 2 is limited at the first position by the limiting member 71. In this manner, by powering on or off the power unit 200, the power unit 200 can be switched between the operating state and the non-operating state, so that the laundry treating apparatus can be switched between the dual drive washing mode and the new water stream washing mode with convenience in switching.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, when the instruction information includes the dual drive washing mode, when the first moving member 2 moves to the first position, between the first position and the second position, or to the second position, before the power unit 200 is controlled to be not operated, the limiting member 71 is first located at the limiting position that limits the first moving member 2 at the first position, so that it is ensured that the limiting member 71 can limit the first moving member 2 at the limiting position at the first position before the first moving member 2 moves reversely to the first position, and it is possible to well prevent the first moving member 2 from moving reversely beyond the first position.

In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 1 to 13, 19 to 30, and 42 and 43, the limiting member 71 is movable in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction, and when the first moving member 2 is located at the first position, the first moving member 2 and the first limiting member 71 abut against each other in the first direction to limit the first moving member 2 at the first position. When the first moving member 2 is located at the first position, the first moving member 2 and the limiting member 71 abut against each other in the first direction to limit the first moving member 2 at the first position, so that when the power unit 200 is powered off, the limiting of the first moving member 2 in the first direction by the limiting member 71 can be conveniently realized, the first moving member 2 is prevented from moving reversely, and the first moving member 2 is kept at the first position.

In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 1 to 13, 18 to 30, 33, 42 and 43, each of the first and second moving

members

2 and 3 is adapted to engage with the link 5, the second moving member 3 remains engaged with the link 5, and the link 5 is movable in the second direction to engage or disengage the first moving member 2 with or from the link 5. When the first moving part 2 is matched with the linkage part 5, the first moving part 2 and the second moving part 3 are matched with the linkage part 5, so that the linkage of the first moving part 2 and the second moving part 3 can be realized; when the first moving member 2 is separated from the link member 5, the link member 5 of the first moving member 2 is separated, and the second moving member 3 is engaged with the link member 5, so that the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 can be decoupled. Thus, the engagement and disengagement of the first moving member 2 with the link member 5 can be conveniently achieved by the link member 5 moving in the second direction, for example, the link member 5 can be moved toward a direction adjacent to the first moving member 2 to engage the first moving member 2 with the link member 5; the link 5 may be moved in a direction away from the first moving member 2 to separate the first moving member 2 from the link 5. When the first moving part 2 is linked with the second moving part 3, the first moving part 2 moves to drive the linking part 5 to move, and the linking part 5 moves to drive the second moving part 3 to move, so that the first moving part 2 can conveniently drive the second moving part 3 to move under the linkage action of the linking part 5.

It should be noted that, when the first moving member 2 is not linked with the second moving member 3, and the first moving member 2 needs to be reset to the initial position, the linking member 5 first moves in a direction away from the first moving member 2 to avoid a space, so that the linking member 5 does not block the first moving member 2 in the first direction, and thus the first moving member 2 can be reset smoothly, and after the first moving member 2 is reset, the linking member 5 can move in a direction adjacent to the first moving member 2, so that the first moving member 2 is matched with the linking member 5, and thus the entire transmission mechanism 100 is reset.

In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 100 further includes a third moving member 4, the third moving member 4 is movably disposed on the mounting seat 11 along the second direction, the third moving member 4 is disposed on one side of the linkage member 5 in the second direction, and the third moving member 4 is in contact with the linkage member 5, for example, a first sliding slot 111 and a second sliding slot 112 which are communicated with each other are formed on the mounting seat 11, wherein the first moving member 2, the second moving member 3 and the linkage member 5 are disposed on the first sliding slot 111, the third moving member 4 and the first moving member 2 are disposed on different sides of the linkage member 5 in the second direction, and the third moving member 4 is movably disposed on the second sliding slot 112. The driving assembly includes a power member 61 and a first elastic member 62, the power member 61 is connected to the third moving member 4 to drive the third moving member 4 to move along the second direction, the first elastic member 62 is connected between the linkage member 5 and the second moving member 3, one end of the first elastic member 62 is connected to the linkage member 5, and the other end of the first elastic member 62 is connected to the second moving member 3, for example, a second mounting hole 33 for mounting the first elastic member 62 may be formed on the second moving member 3, and the other end of the first elastic member 62 may be fixed to the second mounting hole 33. The first elastic member 62 is stretchable in the second direction, for example, the first elastic member 62 may be a spring.

When the third moving member 4 moves in a direction away from the link member 5, the first elastic member 62 stretches, so that the first elastic member 62 can drive the link member 5 to move in a direction away from the first moving member 2, so that the first moving member 2 is separated from the link member 5, and the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 can be conveniently decoupled. When the third moving member 4 moves towards the direction adjacent to the linking member 5, the third moving member 4 drives the linking member 5 to move towards the direction adjacent to the first moving member 2, so that the first moving member 2 is matched with the linking member 5, and therefore the linkage between the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 can be conveniently realized, and at the moment, the first elastic member 62 is compressed. With the third movable member 4 provided and the third movable member 4 kept in contact with the link member 5, the link member 5 can be urged by the movement of the third movable member 4 to move toward the direction adjacent to the first movable member 2, and with the first elastic member 62 provided between the link member 5 and the second movable member 3, the link member 5 is caused to move away from the first movable member 2 by the elastic force of the first elastic member 62, and the first elastic member 62 can also function to prevent the second movable member 3 from disengaging from the link member 5. When the first moving part 2 is linked with the second moving part 3, the first moving part 2 drives the linkage part 5 to move when moving, the third moving part 4 is arranged between the power part 61 and the linkage part 5, the linkage part 5 can be indirectly pushed to move through the power part 61, the third moving part 4 and the linkage part 5 are kept in contact and not connected, therefore, the third moving part 4 and the power part 61 are not driven to move together when the linkage part 5 moves, the movement of the transmission mechanism 100 is simple, the control is convenient, and the burden of the power unit 200 is reduced.

The transmission mechanism 100 further includes a third elastic member 72, one end of the third elastic member 72 is connected to the third moving member 4, the other end of the third elastic member 72 is connected to the limiting member 71, for example, a third mounting hole 701 is formed on the limiting member 71, and the other end of the third elastic member 72 is fixed in the third mounting hole 701. The third elastic member 72 is stretchable in the second direction, for example, the third elastic member 72 may be a spring, and the third elastic member 72 may drive the limiting member 71 to move toward the direction adjacent to the first moving member 2. Therefore, the movement of the stopper 71 in the second direction can be conveniently realized by the third elastic member 72.

In the process that the first moving member 2 moves from the initial position to the first position, the first moving member 2 may press the limiting member 71, at this time, the third elastic member 72 is compressed, and the limiting member 71 moves towards a direction away from the first moving member 2 to avoid the first moving member 2, so that the first moving member 2 can smoothly move to the first position. When the first moving element 2 moves to the first position, the first moving element 2 no longer presses the limiting element 71, and the third elastic element 72 extends to drive the limiting element 71 to move toward the direction adjacent to the first moving element 2. When the power unit 200 is powered off, the first moving member 2 can be limited at the first position by the blocking action of the limiting member 71, and the first moving member 2 is prevented from moving reversely beyond the first position.

When the first moving member 2 needs to be reset, the limiting member 71 hinders the reverse movement of the first moving member 2, because one end of the third elastic member 72 is connected to the third moving member 4, by the movement of the third moving member 4, not only the linking member 5 can move towards the direction away from the first moving member 2, but also the limiting member 71 can move towards the direction away from the first moving member 2, so that the linking member 5 and the limiting member 71 do not form a block to the reverse movement of the first moving member 2 in the first direction, and the first moving member 2 can be reset smoothly.

In the process that the first moving member 2 moves from the initial position to the first position, the avoiding inclined surface 702 is adapted to cooperate with the matching inclined surface 221, and through the contact and cooperation between the matching inclined surface 221 of the first moving member 2 and the avoiding inclined surface 702 of the limiting member 71, the first moving member 2 can press the limiting member 71 to move in the direction away from the first moving member 2, so that the first moving member 2 can be avoided, and the first moving member 2 can smoothly move to the first position. For example, in the example of fig. 39 and 40, the first moving member 2 includes a first moving body 21 and a limit projection 22 provided on the first moving body 21, the limit projection 22 has the escape slope 702, and the insertion hole 212 is formed on the first moving body 21.

The link 5 is movable in the second direction to engage or disengage the first moving member 2 with or from the link 5. When the first moving part 2 is matched with the linkage part 5, the first moving part 2 and the second moving part 3 are matched with the linkage part 5, so that the linkage of the first moving part 2 and the second moving part 3 can be realized; when the first moving member 2 is separated from the link member 5, the link member 5 of the first moving member 2 is separated, and the second moving member 3 is engaged with the link member 5, so that the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 can be decoupled. Thus, by the movement of the link 5 in the second direction, the engagement and disengagement of the first moving member 2 with the link 5 can be conveniently achieved, for example, the link 5 can be moved toward a direction adjacent to the first moving member 2 to engage the first moving member 2 with the link 5; the link 5 may be moved in a direction away from the first moving member 2 to separate the first moving member 2 from the link 5. When the first moving part 2 is linked with the second moving part 3, the first moving part 2 moves to drive the linking part 5 to move, and the linking part 5 moves to drive the second moving part 3 to move, so that the first moving part 2 can conveniently drive the second moving part 3 to move under the linkage action of the linking part 5.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 1 to 13, 18 to 30, and 41, the link 5 has a fitting groove 51, the first moving member 2 has a first fitting portion 211, the second moving member 3 has a second fitting portion 31, the second fitting portion 31 is held in fitting with the fitting groove 51, the first fitting portion 211 is fitted with the fitting groove 51 when the first moving member 2 is fitted with the link 5, and the first fitting portion 211 is disengaged from the fitting groove 51 when the first moving member 2 is separated from the link 5. For example, the link 5 is movable in the second direction, and the first fitting portion 211 of the first moving member 2 may be fitted into the fitting groove 51 of the link 5 when the link 5 is moved toward the direction adjacent to the first moving member 2; when the link 5 moves in a direction away from the first mover 2, the first engagement portion 211 of the first mover 2 can be disengaged from the engagement groove 51 of the link 5. Thus, by making the link 5 have the fitting groove 51 and making the first moving member 2 have the first fitting portion 211 fitted with the link 5, fitting and separation of the first moving member 2 with the link 5 can be easily achieved, and by making the second moving member 3 have the second fitting portion 31 fitted with the link 5, fitting of the second moving member 3 with the link 5 can be easily achieved.

In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 1 to 13, 18 to 30, and 41, the link 5 is movable in a second direction, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, the engaging groove 51 has a first side wall 52 and a second side wall 53 opposite to each other in the first direction, the first engaging portion 211 is adjacent to the first side wall 52, the second engaging portion 31 is adjacent to the second side wall 53, when the first movement member 2 is engaged with the link 5, an engaging length of the first engaging portion 211 and the engaging groove 51 in the second direction is L1, an engaging length of the second engaging portion 31 and the engaging groove 51 in the second direction is L2, and the L1 and the L2 satisfy: l1 < L2. Therefore, the fitting length of the second fitting portion 31 and the fitting groove 51 in the second direction is greater than the fitting length of the first fitting portion 211 and the fitting groove 51 in the second direction, so that the second fitting portion 31 can be ensured to be kept fitted in the fitting groove 51 in the moving process of the linkage piece 5, the second fitting portion 31 is prevented from being disengaged from the fitting groove 51 of the linkage piece 5 when the linkage piece 5 moves in the direction away from the first moving piece 2, and the second moving piece 3 can be ensured to be kept fitted with the linkage piece 5.

Therefore, by setting the difference between the distance between the first side wall 52 and the second side wall 53 of the fitting groove 51 and the sum of the widths of the first fitting part 211 and the second fitting part 31 in the first direction between 2mm and 5mm, it is possible to prevent the first fitting part 211 and the second fitting part 31 from being unable to be fitted into the fitting groove 51 at the same time due to errors in processing, assembly, and the like, and to make the first fitting part 211 and the second fitting part 31 fit into the fitting groove 51 with a clearance in the first direction, which facilitates the assembly, and also makes the fitting and the disengagement of the first fitting part 211 and the fitting groove 51 more smooth, and also makes the entire structure compact.

For example, in some specific examples of the present invention, when the first mover 2 is located at the initial position and the first mover 2 is coupled with the second mover 3, the first and second

fitting portions

211 and 31 are arranged in the first direction and are both fitted in the fitting groove 51 of the coupler 5, the distance between the first fitting portion 211 and the first side wall 52 is 3.5mm, and the second fitting portion 31 is in contact with the second side wall 53. When the power unit 200 drives the first moving part 2 to move along the first direction, after the first moving part 2 moves 3.5mm, the linkage part 5 is driven to move, and the linkage part 5 drives the second moving part 3 to move, so that the second moving part 3 is driven to move when the first moving part 2 moves.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 2 to 13, 20 to 30, 37 and 38, the second mover 3 is formed with a stopper groove 32, the second fitting portion 31 constitutes a part of a side wall of the stopper groove 32, and at least a part of the second side wall 53 is received in the stopper groove 32. Therefore, the limiting groove 32 is formed on the second moving part 3, at least one part of the second side wall 53 of the linkage part 5 is accommodated in the limiting groove 32, and the second matching part 31 of the second moving part 3 is matched in the matching groove 51 of the linkage part 5, so that the linkage part 5 is matched with the second moving part 3 through a mutual embedded structure, the matching area between the linkage part 5 and the second moving part 3 is larger, the matching is more stable, and the linkage part is not easy to be disengaged.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 2 to 13, 18, 20 to 30, and 33, the link 5 is movable in a second direction to engage or disengage the first moving member 2 with or from the link 5, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction. The transmission mechanism 100 further includes a third moving member 4, the third moving member 4 is movably disposed on the mounting seat 11 along the second direction, the third moving member 4 is located on one side of the linkage member 5 in the second direction, and the third moving member 4 and the linkage member 5 are kept in contact, for example, the third moving member 4 and the first moving member 2 are located on different sides of the linkage member 5 in the second direction. The driving assembly includes a power member 61 and a first elastic member 62, the power member 61 is connected to the third moving member 4 to drive the third moving member 4 to move along the second direction, the first elastic member 62 is connected between the linkage member 5 and the second moving member 3, one end of the first elastic member 62 is connected to the linkage member 5, and the other end of the first elastic member 62 is connected to the second moving member 3, for example, a second mounting hole 33 for mounting the first elastic member 62 may be formed on the second moving member 3, and the other end of the first elastic member 62 may be fixed to the second mounting hole 33. The first elastic member 62 is stretchable in the second direction, for example, the first elastic member 62 may be a spring.

When the third moving member 4 moves in a direction away from the linkage member 5, the first elastic member 62 stretches, so that the first elastic member 62 can drive the linkage member 5 to move in a direction away from the first moving member 2, so that the first moving member 2 is separated from the linkage member 5, and the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 can be conveniently not linked. When the third moving member 4 moves towards the direction adjacent to the linking member 5, the third moving member 4 drives the linking member 5 to move towards the direction adjacent to the first moving member 2, so that the first moving member 2 is matched with the linking member 5, and therefore the linkage between the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 can be conveniently realized, and at the moment, the first elastic member 62 is compressed. With the movable third moving member 4 provided and the third moving member 4 kept in contact with the link member 5, the link member 5 can be pushed to move toward the direction adjacent to the first moving member 2 by the movement of the third moving member 4, and with the first elastic member 62 provided between the link member 5 and the second moving member 3, the link member 5 is moved toward the direction away from the first moving member 2 by the elastic force of the first elastic member 62, and the first elastic member 62 can also function to prevent the second moving member 3 from disengaging from the link member 5. When the first moving part 2 is linked with the second moving part 3, the first moving part 2 drives the linkage part 5 to move when moving, the third moving part 4 is arranged between the power part 61 and the linkage part 5, the linkage part 5 can be indirectly pushed to move through the power part 61, the third moving part 4 and the linkage part 5 are kept in contact and not connected, therefore, the third moving part 4 and the power part 61 are not driven to move together when the linkage part 5 moves, the movement of the transmission mechanism 100 is simple, the control is convenient, and the burden of the power unit 200 is reduced.

In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 1-18 in combination with fig. 37-43, the power member 61 is a retractor, the travel of which may be 7mm, the retractor being adapted to draw the third moving member 4 to move away from the linkage member 5. The driving assembly further includes a second elastic member 63, one end of the second elastic member 63 is connected to the third moving member 4, the other end of the second elastic member 63 is connected to the mounting seat 11, the second elastic member 63 is stretchable in the second direction, the second elastic member 63 may be a spring, and the second elastic member 63 may push the third moving member 4 to move toward the direction adjacent to the linkage member 5. Thus, when the third moving member 4 needs to move in a direction away from the link 5, the power member 61 operates to drive the third moving member 4 to move in a direction away from the link 5, and the second elastic member 63 is compressed; when the third moving member 4 needs to move toward the direction adjacent to the linkage member 5, the power member 61 does not work, the second elastic member 63 stretches, and at this time, the third moving member 4 can move toward the direction adjacent to the linkage member 5 under the elastic force of the second elastic member 63, and by arranging the power member 61 as a retractor and at the same time by arranging the second elastic member 63, the third moving member 4 can be conveniently moved toward or away from the linkage member 5.

For example, in the example of fig. 1 to 18, the power member 61 is a retractor and the transmission mechanism 100 includes the second elastic member 63, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the transmission mechanism 100 further includes a reset bracket 12, the reset bracket 12 is mounted on the mounting seat 11, the reset bracket 12 is formed with an avoiding hole 121 and a first mounting hole 122, the power member 61 is mounted and fixed on the reset bracket 12, and the third moving member 4 is formed with a retraction groove 42. The power member 61 can be connected to the third moving member 4 through a pulling rope, the pulling rope of the power member 61 can pass through the avoiding hole 121 on the reset bracket 12, and the pulling buckle of the pulling rope is fixed to the pulling groove 42 on the third moving member 4 in a matching manner, so that the connection between the power member 61 and the third moving member 4 is realized.

The power unit 200 can drive the first moving member 2 to move in the first direction, and after the power unit 200 drives the first moving member 2 to move, the power member 61 can be deactivated, and the third moving member 4 is reset under the action of the second elastic member 63. When the transmission mechanism 100 includes the limiting member 71 and the limiting member 71 is connected to the third moving member 4 through the third elastic member 72, the limiting member 71 also moves together with the third moving member 4. When the power unit 200 is a single-stroke tractor, the power unit 200 drives the first moving element 2 to move between the first position and the second position or the second position, the power element 61 may be first powered off and not operated, so that the third moving element 4 is reset.
