The volute spiral blade spring 1343 has one end wound around the winder chainwheel 1342 in a different direction to form a connection, so that the volute spiral blade spring 1343 is arranged between the spring chainwheel 1341 and the winder chainwheel 1342. The spring chainwheel 1341 is provided with a pivot hole 13411 pivotally mounted on the pivot shaft 13311 of the second casing 1331. The winder chainwheel 1342 is provided with a pivot hole 13421 aligning with the receiving aperture 13322 of the second cover 1332, and the pivot portion 1112 of the drive shaft 111 is mounted in the pivot hole 13421 of the winder chainwheel 1342.
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, each of the two holding pieces 232 of each of the holding units 23 of the shading device 2 has a first end provided with a mounting portion 2321 and a second end provided with a holding piece 2324. The mounting portion 2321 of each of the two holding pieces 232 has a side provided with a mounting hole 2322 mounted on the rod 231 and has a front face provided with a screw bore 2323 connected to the mounting hole 2322. The screw bore 2323 of each of the two holding pieces 232 has a stepped shape. The holding piece 2324 of each of the two holding pieces 232 extends transversely and abuts the roll cloth member 112 of the winding unit 11 when the roll cloth member 112 hangs down. Each of the two fasteners 233 is a screw which is screwed into the screw bore 2323 of each of the two holding pieces 232 and presses the rod 231.
In operation, referring to FIGS. 8-12 with reference to FIGS. 1-7, the driving wheel 121 is received in the cavity 1111 of the drive shaft 111, and the stop disk 1211 of the driving wheel 121 abuts the first end of the drive shaft 111. The positioning ribs 1113 of the drive shaft 111 are positioned in the positioning slits 1232 of the rotation disk 1231 so that the drive shaft 111 is rotated in concert with the rotation disk 1231. Thus, when the drive motor 123 of the transmission unit 12 is operated, the rotation disk 1231 is rotated by the drive motor 123 to drive and rotate the drive shaft 111 of the winding unit 11.
When a button of the controller 15 is pressed, the controller 15 transmits a signal to the receiving module 144 of the signal receiver 14 to control operation of the transmission unit 12. At this time, the connecting terminal 143 of the electric cord 142 of the signal receiver 14 is coupled to and electrically connected with the connector 1241 of the conducting wire 124 of the transmission unit 12 as shown in FIG. 9, so that the signal receiver 14 is electrically connected with the transmission unit 12 to control operation of the drive motor 123 of the transmission unit 12 so as to drive and rotate the drive shaft 111 of the winding unit 11. Thus, when the drive shaft 111 of the winding unit 11 is rotated normally or reversely by operation of the transmission unit 12, the roll cloth member 112 is driven by the drive shaft 111 to move downward or upward as shown in FIG. 8.
In such a manner, when the roll cloth member 112 of the winding unit 11 is moved downward to hang down by rotation of the drive shaft 111, the roll cloth member 112 is located at any position so that the roll cloth member 112 is disposed at a half extending state or a fully extending state. At this time, the first weight bar 113 of the winding unit 11 provides a downward force (by its gravity) to the roll cloth member 112, so that the downward gravity of the roll cloth member 112 is concentrated at a center position. In addition, the holding piece 2324 of each of the two holding pieces 232 of each of the holding units 23 of the shading device 2 hold the two sides of the roll cloth member 112 as shown in FIG. 11, so that the roll cloth member 112 is kept at a straight state when hanging down. On the contrary, when the roll cloth member 112 of the winding unit 11 is moved and folded upward by rotation of the drive shaft 111, the rotary return wheel module 134 aids the upward movement of the roll cloth member 112.
In practice, when the roll cloth member 112 of the winding unit 11 is moved downward to hang down by rotation of the drive shaft 111, the pivot portion 1112 of the drive shaft 111 drives and rotates the winder chainwheel 1342 which drives and moves the volute spiral blade spring 1343 which drives and rotates the spring chainwheel 1341, so that the winder chainwheel 1342 and the spring chainwheel 1341 are rotated clockwise and anticlockwise as shown in FIG. 10, and the volute spiral blade spring 1343 is unwound from the spring chainwheel 1341 and wound around the winder chainwheel 1342 successively.
On the contrary, when the roll cloth member 112 of the winding unit 11 is moved and folded upward by operation of the transmission unit 12, the pivot portion 1112 of the drive shaft 111 drives and rotates the winder chainwheel 1342 which drives and moves the volute spiral blade spring 1343 which drives the spring chainwheel 1341, so that the winder chainwheel 1342 and the spring chainwheel 1341 are rotated anticlockwise and clockwise as shown in FIG. 12, and the volute spiral blade spring 1343 is wound around the spring chainwheel 1341 and unwound from the winder chainwheel 1342 successively. At this time, the volute spiral blade spring 1343 is wound around the spring chainwheel 1341 automatically by the restoring force of the volute spiral blade spring 1343, to facilitate the upward movement of the roll cloth member 112 without needing much electric operation of the drive motor 123. Thus, the volute spiral blade spring 1343 aids the upward movement of the roll cloth member 112 so as to reduce consumption of the electric power of the drive motor 123 during operation so that the roll cloth member 112 of the winding unit 11 is folded upward in an energy-saving manner.
Accordingly, the roll cloth member 112 is kept at a straight state smoothly when hanging down by provision of the first weight bar 113 and each of the holding units 23 so as to enhance the outer appearance of the cordless motorized roller shade. In addition, when the roll cloth member 112 is moved upward, the rotary return wheel module 134 aids the upward movement of the roll cloth member 112 to reduce consumption of the electric power of the drive motor 123 during operation so that the roll cloth member 112 is folded upward in an energy-saving manner.
Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment(s) as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will cover such modifications and variations that fall within the true scope of the invention.
