The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative only and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.

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

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

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

The linkage member 5 is movably arranged on the mounting seat 11 so as to enable the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 to be linked or not linked, and the driving assembly is used for driving the linkage member 5 to move. By the movement of the linkage member 5, the first and second movement members 2 and 5 can be linked or not, so that the first and second movement members 2 and 3 can be conveniently adjusted to switch between linked and non-linked. 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, 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 sequentially spaced apart in the first direction, and the first moving member 2 is moved by the linkage member 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, and both the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are not moved, and at this time, the first executing unit 300 is in the first operating state and the second executing unit 400 is in the first state, and at this time, the laundry treating apparatus may be in the first operating mode (refer to fig. 2 to 7 and fig. 20 to 24). In the first operation mode, the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 do not move, so that the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 may be linked, or the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 may be not linked.

When the driving assembly drives the linkage member 5 to move so that the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are not linked, the power unit 200 is electrified to operate, so as to drive the first moving member 2 to move to the first position along the first direction, and the second moving member 3 is not moved due to the fact that the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are not linked, at this time, the working state of the first execution unit 300 is changed to the second working state, and the working state of the second execution unit 400 is kept in the first state, at this time, the laundry treating apparatus can be in the second working mode (refer to fig. 8, 9, 25 and 26).

When the driving assembly drives the linkage member 5 to move so that the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are not linked, the power unit 200 is electrified to operate, so that the first moving member 2 is driven to move to the second position along the first direction, and the second moving member 3 is not moved due to the fact that the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are not linked, at this time, the operation state of the first execution unit 300 is changed to the third operation state, and the operation state of the second execution unit 400 is kept in the first state, at this time, the laundry treating apparatus can be in the third operation mode (refer to fig. 10, 11, 27 and 28).

When the driving assembly drives the linkage member 5 to move so that the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are linked, the power unit 200 is electrified to drive the first moving member 2 to move to the second position along the first direction, and when the first moving member 2 moves along the first direction due to the linkage of the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3, the second moving member 3 is driven to move along the first direction, at this time, the working state of the first execution unit 300 is changed to the third working state, and the working state of the second execution unit 400 is changed to the second state, at this time, the laundry treating apparatus can be in the fourth working mode (refer to fig. 12, 13, 29 and 30).

Through the movable linkage piece 5, and through the motion of the linkage piece 5, the first motion piece 2 and the second motion piece 3 can be conveniently made to have a linkage relation or not have a linkage relation, so that the first motion piece 2 can drive the second motion piece 3 to move when moving or the second motion piece 3 can not move when the first motion piece 2 moves, thereby 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 be made to have more working modes, the adjustment of the working mode of the clothes treatment equipment can be conveniently realized, more washing demands of users can be met, the whole structure of the clothes treatment equipment is facilitated to be simplified, and the control 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 resets, so that the first moving element 2 can be reset to an initial position; the second execution unit 400 includes a second elastic reset element for resetting the second control element, and drives the second moving element 3 to reset when the second control element resets.

For example, if the first moving member 2 is to be reset in the second operation mode of the laundry treating apparatus, the power unit 200 may be disabled, and the first elastic reset member drives the first control 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, in the third operation mode of the laundry treatment apparatus, if the first moving member 2 is to be reset, the power unit 200 may be disabled, and the first elastic reset member drives the first control 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, in the fourth operation mode of the laundry treatment apparatus, if the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are to be reset, the power unit 200 may be disabled, the first elastic reset member drives the first operation member 301 to reset, so as to drive the first moving member 2 to move reversely, and the second elastic reset member drives the second operation member to reset, so as to drive the second moving member 3 to move reversely, in this process, the first moving member 2 may simultaneously push the second moving member 3 to move reversely or the second movement may simultaneously push the first moving member 2 to move reversely, so that the first moving member 2 resets 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 may be connected to the first moving member 2 through a traction rope 201, so as to connect the power unit 200 to the first moving member 2.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, the power unit 200 may be a single-stroke tractor, for example, the power unit 200 may be a 30mm single-stroke tractor, in which, in this embodiment, the movable limiting member 71 may be disposed on the mounting seat 11 to limit the first moving member 2 at the first position, for example, during the process of moving the first moving member 2 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 smoothly move 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, thereby limiting the first moving member 2 at the first position. In addition, when the first moving member 2 is reset, the limiting member 71 may be moved to avoid the first moving member 2, so that the first moving member 2 may be smoothly reset to the initial position. Thus, by providing the power member 61 as a single stroke retractor in combination with the use of the stopper 71, the first moving member 2 can be conveniently stopped at the first position in the event that the power unit 200 is powered off, and energy consumption can be saved.

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

The driving mechanism 100 and the laundry treating apparatus having the driving 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-drive washing mode, a new water flow washing mode, and a dewatering and draining mode, wherein the normal washing mode is the first operation mode, the double-drive washing mode is the second operation mode, the new water flow washing mode is the third operation mode, and the dewatering and draining mode is the fourth operation mode. The laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, an inner tub 500, and a pulsator, the inner tub 500 being rotatably disposed in the cabinet, the pulsator being rotatably disposed in the inner tub 500, the first performing unit 300, the second performing unit 400, and the driving mechanism 100 being disposed in the cabinet, the first performing unit 300 being connected to the inner tub 500 and the pulsator, the second performing unit 400 being openable and closable to discharge washing water.

The first actuating unit 300 may be a clutch assembly, and the first actuating unit 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 wrap spring for controlling a clutch relationship between the pulsator and the inner tub 500. When the clutch brake is released, the inner barrel 500 is in a free state, and when the pulsator rotates, the pulsator disturbs water flow in the inner barrel 500 to move, so that the inner barrel 500 can be driven to reversely rotate; when the clutch is braked and held tightly, the inner barrel 500 is in a locked state, and the inner barrel 500 cannot be driven to rotate when the wave wheel rotates. When the arming spring is released, the impeller is separated from the inner barrel 500, and the impeller cannot drive the inner barrel 500 to rotate when rotating; when the armful spring is enclasped, the impeller is matched with the inner barrel 500, and the impeller can drive the inner barrel 500 to rotate when rotating.

Specifically, when the clutch brake is released and the arming spring is released, the inner barrel 500 is in a free state, and when the pulsator rotates, the washing water in the inner barrel 500 is driven to move, so that the inner barrel 500 can be driven to reversely rotate; when the clutch is released and the spring is held tightly, the wave wheel rotates to drive the inner barrel 500 to synchronously rotate; when the clutch is held tightly and the holding spring is released, the inner barrel 500 is locked and immobilized, and only the pulsator rotates at this time.

The second execution unit 400 may be a drain valve, the second control element may be a valve body of the drain valve, the state of the second execution unit 400 is changed by moving the second control element, the second execution unit 400 has an open state (the second state described above) and a closed state (the first state described above), the inner tub 500 may drain the washing water when the second execution unit 400 is in the open state, and the washing water in the inner tub 500 may not drain through the drain valve when the second execution unit 400 is in the closed state.

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 is not operated, the first moving member 2 is maintained at the initial position, both the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are not moved, and thus, neither the clutch lever (first operation control 301) of the clutch assembly (first execution unit 300) nor the valve body (second operation control) of the drain valve (second execution unit 400) is moved, and at this 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 released, the inner barrel 500 is locked and does not move, and only the pulsator rotates, so that ordinary 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 member 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, the second moving member 3 is not moved due to the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 being not linked, the drain valve is closed, and the clutch lever is rotated to the first control angle. The clutch brake is released and the holding spring is released, the inner barrel 500 is in a free state, and when the pulsator rotates, the washing water in the inner barrel 500 is driven to move, so that the inner barrel 500 can be driven to reversely rotate, and the hand scrubbing effect can be realized.

Referring to fig. 10, 11, 27 and 28, when the instruction information includes a new water flow washing mode, the driving assembly is controlled to drive the linkage member 5 to move so that the first moving member 2 is not linked with the second moving member 3, 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, the second moving member 3 is not moved due to the fact that the first moving member 2 is not linked with the second moving member 3, the drain valve is closed, and the clutch lever is rotated to the second control angle. When the clutch is released and the spring is held tightly, the impeller rotates to drive the inner barrel 500 to synchronously rotate, so that tornado water flow can be realized, the water flow impact force in the inner barrel 500 is large, 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 a better scouring and washing effect is achieved.

Referring to fig. 12, 13, 29 and 30, when the instruction information includes a dewatering and drainage mode, the driving unit is controlled to drive the linkage member 5 to move so as to enable the first moving member 2 to be linked with the second moving member 3, and the power unit 200 is controlled to operate to drive the first moving member 2 to move to the second position along the first direction. Because the first moving part 2 and the second moving part 3 are linked, when the first moving part 2 moves along the first direction, the second moving part 3 is driven to move along the first direction, the drain valve is opened, and the clutch driving lever rotates to a second control angle. When the clutch is released and the holding spring holds tightly, the drain valve is opened, and the wave wheel rotates to drive the inner barrel 500 to synchronously rotate, so that drainage and dehydration can be realized.

According to the transmission mechanism 100 of the clothes treating apparatus according to the embodiment of the invention, the driving actions of the power unit 200 can be distributed, and the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 can have a linkage relation or have no linkage relation 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 can not move when the first moving member 2 moves, thereby the clothes treating apparatus can have more working modes, the working states of the first executing unit 300 and the second executing unit 400 can be adjusted, further the adjustment of the working modes of the clothes treating apparatus can be conveniently realized, more washing demands of users can be satisfied, the whole structure of the clothes treating apparatus can be simplified, and the control cost can be reduced.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 1-13, 19-30, and 42 and 43, the power unit 200 is a single-stroke retractor, and the transmission mechanism 100 includes a stopper 71 for restricting the first moving member 2 in the first position, the stopper 71 being movably provided on the mount 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 the first moving member 2 can smoothly move along the first direction 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, and the blocking of the first moving member 2 caused by the limiting member 71 is avoided. When the first moving member 2 is located at 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.

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 at this time, the limiting member 71 cooperates with the first moving member 2 to limit the first moving member 2 to 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 is matched with the first moving member 2 to limit the first moving member 2 to the first position; alternatively, 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 reversely to the first position, the limiting member 71 cooperates with the first moving member 2 to limit the first moving member 2 to the first position. So that the first moving member 2 can be kept at the first position by the limiting member 71 at the time of the power unit 200 being powered off, so that the laundry treating apparatus can be kept to operate in the set operation mode. For example, when the instruction information includes the double-drive washing mode, the power unit 200 is controlled to be inactive when the first moving member 2 moves to the first position, between the first position and the second position, or 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 is in the double-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 command information includes the double-drive washing mode, the power unit 200 is controlled to be deactivated when the first mover 2 moves to the second position. When the power unit 200 is a single-stroke tractor, the first moving member 2 moves to the second position, and the first moving member 2 moves to the full stroke, and at the moment, the signal can be used as a power-off signal to be transmitted to an electric control board of the clothes treatment equipment, so that other signals are not required to be additionally set as the power-off signal of the power unit 200, and the power-off control of the power unit 200 is facilitated.

In this embodiment, when the instruction information includes the dewatering and drainage mode, the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are linked at the initial position, the power unit 200 operates to drive the first moving member 2 to move to the second position, during this process, the limiting member 71 avoids the first moving member 2, and when the first moving member 2 moves, the limiting member 71 is synchronously driven to move the second moving member 3, and when the first moving member 2 moves to the second position, the power unit 200 still keeps operating, so that the first moving member 2 is kept at the second position.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, when the command information includes the double-drive washing mode and the new water flow washing mode, the power unit 200 may be controlled to be switched between the operating state and the non-operating state when the first moving member 2 moves to the second position. For example, after the laundry treatment apparatus is operated in the dual-drive washing mode for a set time, the power unit 200 is controlled to be electrified, 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 is operated in the new water flow washing mode for a set time, the power unit 200 is controlled to be powered off, the first moving member 2 is reversely moved to the first position under the action of the first control 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 double-drive washing mode and the new water flow washing mode, and the switching is convenient.

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

In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 1-13, 19-30, and 42 and 43, the stopper 71 is movable in a second direction 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 stopper 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 are abutted against each other in the first direction so as 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. 1-13, 18-30, 33, 42 and 43, the first 2 and second 3 moving members are each adapted to engage the linkage 5, the second moving member 3 remains engaged with the linkage 5, and the linkage 5 is movable in a second direction to engage or disengage the first moving member 2 from the linkage 5. When the first moving member 2 is matched with the linkage member 5, the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are matched with the linkage member 5, so that the linkage of the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 can be realized; when the first moving member 2 is separated from the linkage member 5, and the second moving member 3 is engaged with the linkage member 5, so that the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 can be prevented from being linked. Thus, by moving the link 5 in the second direction, the engagement and disengagement of the first moving member 2 with the link 5 can be easily achieved, for example, the link 5 can be moved toward the direction adjacent to the first moving member 2 to engage the first moving member 2 with the link 5; the linkage 5 may be moved in a direction away from the first mover 2 to separate the first mover 2 from the linkage 5. When the first moving part 2 and the second moving part 3 are linked, the first moving part 2 drives the linkage part 5 to move when moving, and the linkage part 5 drives the second moving part 3 to move, so that the second moving part 3 can be driven to move when the first moving part 2 moves through the linkage action of the linkage part 5.

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

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 located on one side of the linkage member 5 in the second direction, and the third moving member 4 is kept in contact with the linkage member 5, for example, a first chute 111 and a second chute 112 which are mutually communicated are formed on the mounting seat 11, wherein the first moving member 2, the second moving member 3 and the linkage member 5 are all disposed on the first chute 111, the third moving member 4 is located on a different side of the linkage member 5 in the second direction from the first moving member 2, and the third moving member 4 is movably disposed on the second chute 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 in the second direction, the first elastic member 62 is connected between the link member 5 and the second moving member 3, one end of the first elastic member 62 is connected to the link member 5, 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 into 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 is extended, 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 toward the direction adjacent to the linkage member 5, the third moving member 4 drives the linkage member 5 to move toward the direction adjacent to the first moving member 2, so that the first moving member 2 is engaged with the linkage member 5, thereby conveniently realizing the linkage of the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3, and at this time, the first elastic member 62 is compressed. By providing the movable third moving member 4 with the third moving member 4 kept in contact with the link member 5, the link member 5 can be pushed to move in the direction adjacent to the first moving member 2 by the movement of the third moving member 4, and by the first elastic member 62 provided between the link member 5 and the second moving member 3, the link member 5 is made to move in 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 being disengaged from the link member 5. Wherein, when first moving member 2 links with second moving member 3, drive the moving member 5 to move when first moving member 2 moves, through setting up third moving member 4 between power piece 61 and moving member 5, can promote moving member 5 through power piece 61 indirectly, and make between third moving member 4 and the moving member 5 keep contact and not connect, can not drive third moving member 4 and power piece 61 together to move when moving member 5 from this, make the motion of drive mechanism 100 simple, convenient control reduces the burden of power unit 200.

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, and the other end of the third elastic member 72 is connected to the stopper 71, for example, a third mounting hole 701 is formed in the stopper 71, and the other end of the third elastic member 72 is fixed into the third mounting hole 701. The third elastic member 72 is retractable 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 a direction adjacent to the first moving member 2. Thereby, the movement of the stopper 71 in the second direction can be easily achieved by the third elastic member 72 provided.

In the process of moving the first moving member 2 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 in a direction away from the first moving member 2 to avoid the first moving member 2, so that the first moving member 2 may smoothly move to the first position. When the first moving member 2 moves to the first position, the first moving member 2 no longer presses the stopper 71, and the third elastic member 72 stretches to drive the stopper 71 to move toward the direction adjacent to the first moving member 2. When the power unit 200 is powered off, the first moving member 2 can be limited at the first position by the blocking effect of the limiting member 71, so that 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 blocks the reverse movement of the first moving member 2, and since one end of the third elastic member 72 is connected with the third moving member 4, the movement of the third moving member 4 can not only enable the linkage member 5 to move in a direction away from the first moving member 2, but also enable the limiting member 71 to move in a direction away from the first moving member 2, so that the linkage member 5 and the limiting member 71 can not block 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 avoidance slope 702 is suitable for being matched with the matching slope 221, and through the contact matching of the matching slope 221 of the first moving member 2 and the avoidance slope 702 of the limiting member 71, the first moving member 2 can squeeze the limiting member 71 to move towards 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 stopper projection 22 provided on the first moving body 21, the stopper projection 22 having the above-described escape slope 702, and the above-described insertion hole 212 being formed on the first moving body 21.

Thus, the mounting of the third elastic member 72 and the stopper 71 is facilitated by the mounting groove 41 provided in the third moving member 4, and the stopper 71 is provided to include the fixing portion 711 and the stopper portion 712, and since the fixing portion 711 is movably accommodated in the mounting groove 41, the fixing portion 711 is adapted to abut against the second groove wall 412, movement restriction of the stopper 71 can be realized, and movement of other members of the transmission mechanism 100 or interference with other members of the transmission mechanism 100 can be prevented from being affected by an excessive movement distance of the stopper 71 driven by the third elastic member 72.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting seat 11 may be formed with a third sliding groove 113, and the limit stop portion 712 of the limit piece 71 may be movably disposed on the third sliding groove 113, thereby guiding the movement of the limit piece 71, and supporting the limit piece 71 through the third moving piece 4 and the mounting seat 11 together.

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

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

In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 1 to 13, 18 to 30, and 41, the linkage member 5 is movable in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the engagement groove 51 has opposite first and second sidewalls 52 and 53 in the first direction, the first engagement portion 211 is adjacent to the first sidewall 52, the second engagement portion 31 is adjacent to the second sidewall 53, when the first moving member 2 is engaged with the linkage member 5, an engagement length of the first engagement portion 211 with the engagement groove 51 in the second direction is L1, an engagement length of the second engagement portion 31 with the engagement groove 51 in the second direction is L2, and the L1, the L2 satisfy: l1 is less than L2. Therefore, the second fitting portion 31 and the fitting groove 51 have a larger fitting length in the second direction than the first fitting portion 211 and the fitting groove 51, so that the second fitting portion 31 is ensured to be fitted in the fitting groove 51 in the moving process of the linkage member 5, and the second fitting portion 31 is prevented from being separated from the fitting groove 51 of the linkage member 5 when the linkage member 5 moves in the direction away from the first movement member 2, so that the second movement member 3 and the linkage member 5 are ensured to be fitted.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, a distance between the first sidewall 52 and the second sidewall 53 is d, a width of the first fitting portion 211 in the first direction is L3, a width of the second fitting portion 31 in the first direction is L4, and d, L3, L4 satisfy: d- (L3+L4) is less than or equal to 2mm and less than or equal to 5mm. Thus, 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 portion 211 and the second fitting portion 31 in the first direction between 2mm to 5mm, it is possible to prevent the first fitting portion 211 and the second fitting portion 31 from being unable to be fitted into the fitting groove 51 at the same time due to errors in processing, fitting, etc., and to make the first fitting portion 211 and the second fitting portion 31 fit into the fitting groove 51 with a clearance in the first direction, to facilitate fitting, and also to make the fitting and the disengagement of the first fitting portion 211 and the fitting groove 51 smoother, while also making the overall structure compact.

For example, in some specific examples of the present invention, when the first moving member 2 is located at the initial position and the first moving member 2 is interlocked with the second moving member 3, the first engaging portion 211 and the second engaging portion 31 are arranged in the first direction and are each engaged in the engaging groove 51 of the interlocking member 5, the distance between the first engaging portion 211 and the first side wall 52 is 3.5mm, and the second engaging 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, the first moving part 2 is driven to move 3.5mm later, 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 moving member 3 is formed with a limiting groove 32, and the second engaging portion 31 forms a part of a side wall of the limiting groove 32, and at least a part of the second side wall 53 is accommodated in the limiting groove 32. Therefore, by forming the limit groove 32 on the second moving member 3, and making at least a part of the second side wall 53 of the linkage member 5 accommodated in the limit groove 32, the second fitting portion 31 combined with the second moving member 3 is fitted in the fitting groove 51 of the linkage member 5, so that the linkage member 5 and the second moving member 3 are fitted through mutually-fitted structures, the fitting area between the linkage member 5 and the second moving member 3 is larger, the fitting is more stable, and the detachment is not easy.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 2-13, 18, 20-30, and 33, the linkage 5 is movable in a second direction to engage or disengage the first mover 2 with the linkage 5, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction. The transmission mechanism 100 further includes a third moving member 4, where 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 is kept in contact with the linkage member 5, for example, the third moving member 4 is located on a different side of the linkage member 5 in the second direction than the first moving member 2. 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 in the second direction, the first elastic member 62 is connected between the link member 5 and the second moving member 3, one end of the first elastic member 62 is connected to the link member 5, 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 into 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 is extended, 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 prevented from being linked. When the third moving member 4 moves toward the direction adjacent to the linkage member 5, the third moving member 4 drives the linkage member 5 to move toward the direction adjacent to the first moving member 2, so that the first moving member 2 is engaged with the linkage member 5, thereby conveniently realizing the linkage of the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3, and at this time, the first elastic member 62 is compressed. By providing the movable third moving member 4 with the third moving member 4 kept in contact with the link member 5, the link member 5 can be pushed to move in the direction adjacent to the first moving member 2 by the movement of the third moving member 4, and by the first elastic member 62 provided between the link member 5 and the second moving member 3, the link member 5 is made to move in 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 being disengaged from the link member 5. Wherein, when first moving member 2 links with second moving member 3, drive the moving member 5 to move when first moving member 2 moves, through setting up third moving member 4 between power piece 61 and moving member 5, can promote moving member 5 through power piece 61 indirectly, and make between third moving member 4 and the moving member 5 keep contact and not connect, can not drive third moving member 4 and power piece 61 together to move when moving member 5 from this, make the motion of drive mechanism 100 simple, convenient control reduces the burden of power unit 200.

In some embodiments of the invention, with reference to fig. 1-18 in combination with fig. 37-43, the power member 61 is a retractor, which may have a travel of 7mm, adapted to draw the third motion member 4 in a direction 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 retractable 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 a direction adjacent to the linkage member 5. Thus, when the third moving member 4 needs to move in a direction away from the linkage member 5, the power member 61 operates to drive the third moving member 4 to move in a direction away from the linkage member 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 is elongated, at this time, the third moving member 4 can move toward the direction adjacent to the linkage member 5 by the elastic force of the second elastic member 63, and by providing the power member 61 as a retractor and simultaneously by providing the second elastic member 63, the movement of the third moving member 4 toward or away from the linkage member 5 can be conveniently achieved.

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 described above, and 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 a relief 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 traction groove 42. The power piece 61 can be connected with the third moving piece 4 through a traction rope, the traction rope of the power piece 61 can pass through the avoiding hole 121 on the reset bracket 12, and the traction buckle of the traction rope is matched and fixed in the traction groove 42 on the third moving piece 4, so that the power piece 61 is connected with the third moving piece 4. One end of the second elastic member 63 is connected to the third moving member 4, and the other end of the second elastic member 63 is fixed in the first mounting hole 122.

The power unit 200 may drive the first moving member 2 to move in the first direction, the power member 61 may not operate after the power unit 200 drives the first moving member 2 to move, and the third moving member 4 is reset under the action of the second elastic member 63. When the transmission mechanism 100 includes the above-mentioned stopper 71 and the stopper 71 is connected to the third moving member 4 through the third elastic member 72, the stopper 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 member 2 to move between the first position and the second position or between the second position and the second position, the power member 61 is powered off and does not work, so that the third moving member 4 is reset. When the first moving member 2 needs to be reset, the power unit 200 does not work, the power member 61 is electrified to work, the third moving member 4 is driven to move along the second direction towards the direction away from the linkage member 5, and the limiting member 71 also moves along the third moving member 4 along the second direction towards the direction away from the linkage member 5, so that no obstruction is formed in the process of reversely moving the first moving member 2, and the first moving member 2 can smoothly reversely move to the initial position. After the first moving member 2 is reset, the power member 61 is powered off and does not work, the third moving member 4 is reset under the action of the second elastic member 63, and the limiting member 71 is also reset along with the third moving member 4.

Therefore, when the third moving member 4 needs to move in the direction away from the linkage member 5, the power member 61 works (for example, the power member 61 reverses), the motor shaft of the power member 61 synchronously drives the gear 64 to rotate, and the third moving member 4 can be driven to move in the direction away from the linkage member 5 through the engagement of the gear 64 and the rack 65; when the third moving member 4 needs to move towards the direction adjacent to the linkage member 5, the power member 61 works (for example, the power member 61 rotates in the forward direction), the motor shaft of the power member 61 synchronously drives the gear 64 to rotate, the third moving member 4 can be driven to move towards the direction adjacent to the linkage member 5 through the meshing of the gear 64 and the rack 65, and the third moving member 4 can be conveniently moved towards or away from the linkage member 5 through the power member 61 which is arranged as a motor and simultaneously through the gear 64 and the rack 65.

The motor bracket 13 and the mounting seat 11 define a sliding cavity 15 therebetween, and at least a portion of the third moving member 4 is positioned in the sliding cavity 15. Thereby, the motor bracket 13 is arranged to facilitate the installation and fixation of the power piece 61, and the sliding cavity 15 which is suitable for accommodating the third moving piece 4 is defined between the motor bracket 13 and the installation seat 11, so that the movement of the third moving piece 4 can be guided, and the structure of the transmission mechanism 100 is compact.

In the embodiment in which the power member 61 is a motor, when the first moving member 2 and the second moving member 3 are required to be not linked, the power member 61 drives the third moving member 4 to move in a direction away from the linkage member 5 when the first moving member 2 is at the initial position, 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 are not linked. The power unit 200 may 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 unit 61 may drive the third moving member 4 to move toward the direction adjacent to the linkage member 5, so that the third moving member 4 is reset. When the transmission mechanism 100 includes the above-mentioned stopper 71 and the stopper 71 is connected to the third moving member 4 through the third elastic member 72, the stopper 71 also moves together with the third moving member 4.
