And a pair of channel part 7b is provided under the attachment part 7a, the guide surface 5 is formed in the lower surface inside the channel part 7b, and the wheel 15 of the apparatus main body 4 rolls there. Further, a rack 8 is erected in the middle of the guide surface 5 in the width direction.

The rack 8 is provided only at the end of the rail 7 as shown in FIG.
The rack 8 and the pinion 9 mesh with each other at the end of the rail 7. The pinion 9 is fixed to a rotating shaft 11a connected to the electric motor 2, and a pair of wheels 15 are disposed on both sides of the pinion 9 in this example.
Only one wheel 15 may be provided for each channel portion 7b. Further, the first roller 11 is pivotally supported (freely fitted) at the end of the rotation shaft 11a independently of the rotation of the rotation shaft 11a, and the guide groove provided on the inner wall of the channel portion 7b. The lift prevention means 10 is constituted by being guided by the sway 12.

The apparatus main body 4 includes the electric motor 2 therein, and a weight 13 is provided at a lower portion thereof. The weight 13 also forms a lifting prevention means 10. A pair of rotating shafts 14a bent in a downward L-shape project from both sides of the apparatus body 4, and second rollers 14 are rotatably supported at the tip portions thereof.
The pair of second rollers 14 are guided so as to be sandwiched between the rising side wall surfaces of the pair of channel portions 7b of the rail 7 to prevent the apparatus body 4 from shaking in the width direction.

Next, a pair of groove-shaped portions are formed on the lower surface of the mounting portion 7a of the rail 7 in parallel with the longitudinal direction, and a strip-shaped power feeding member 6 made of a conductor is adhered to the rail 7 in an electrically insulating manner. Has been. Further, in this example, a pair of auxiliary power feeders 25 are similarly attached to the upper surface of the mounting portion 7a of the rail 7.
The auxiliary power feeding body 25 is also fitted and fixed in a pair of groove-like portions parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rail 7.

A locking portion 20 is provided at the lower portion of the apparatus main body 4, and is connected to the bag-like portion of the curtain 3 via a hook 21. And this latching | locking part 20 suspends the edge part of the curtain 3, and, as shown in FIG. 2, the other part attaches the latching | locking part 20 and the hook 21 to the narrow suspension member 22b which has the wheel 22a. Is suspended through.
A pair of roller-type brushes 24 are fixed on the upper surface of the apparatus main body 4 so as to be separated from each other, and are in contact with the pair of power supply bodies 6 so as to be rotatable. As shown in FIG. 3, the roller type brush 24 includes, for example, a plate spring 23 bent in a U-shape and a roller 22 pivotally supported at the tip thereof, which are made of a conductor. The plate spring 23 is provided with a screw hole 26, and is fixed to the upper surface of the apparatus main body 4 by a screw (not shown) through the screw hole 26. Alternatively, it is fixed to the apparatus main body 4 by spot welding.

  As an example, the pulling device of this example is of a type in which the curtain opens on both sides from the center of the curtain rail. For this reason, as shown in FIG. A pair of apparatus main bodies 4 are connected to each other via roller-type brushes 24, respectively. In FIG. 6, the right pair of power feeders 6 are directly fed with power through the substrate 17, and the left pair of power feeders 6 are fed with power from the substrate 17 through the auxiliary power feeder 25. As an example, the auxiliary power feeder 25 is disposed on the upper surface of the mounting portion 7a in FIG. 1, and the tip thereof and the pair of power feeders 6 on the left side are electrically connected.

As an example, a rail cap 16 with a substrate 17 having a receiving portion shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 7 or FIG. 9 is fitted to one end of the rail 7, and the other end of the rail 7 is, for example, A rail cap 16a without a substrate shown in FIG. 8 is fitted.
On the upper surface side and the lower surface side of the rail cap 16, connection pieces 33 are projected and fixed so as to be elastically deformable in the vertical direction at positions aligned with the power feeding body 6 and the auxiliary power feeding body 25 of the rail 7, respectively. Then, the connection piece 33 and the substrate 17 are connected by the lead wire 6a.
When the rail 7 is made of a metal material, the power feeding body 6 and the auxiliary power feeding body 25 are attached to the rail 7 via an insulating material. However, when the rail 7 is an insulating resin material, the auxiliary power body 6 and the auxiliary power feeding body 25 are directly supported. The power feeder 25 and the power feeder 6 are attached.

The board 17 of the rail cap 16 directly feeds power to the apparatus main body 4 arranged on the right side in FIG. 6, and the apparatus main body 4 on the left side through the auxiliary power supply 25 and the rail cap 16a without board (see FIG. 8). Power to In the rail cap 16a shown in FIG. 8, the connecting piece 33 provided at the upper end and the connecting piece 33 provided at the lower end are connected via the lead wire 6a.
The electric motor 2 (see FIG. 1) of the apparatus body 4 is of a reversible type, and rotates forward and reverse depending on whether the DC voltage supplied to the pair of power supply bodies 6 is positive or negative. Further, when the power is OFF, the connection between the electric motor 2 and the rotating shaft 11a is separated through a clutch (not shown), and the apparatus body 4 can be moved by manually rolling the wheel 15 freely.

(Function)
In the first embodiment, a radio signal (including an infrared signal) is received by the board 17 of FIG. 6 via a transmitter (not shown), and thereby a pair of power feeding bodies 6 are fed from the board 17. One of the pair of power feeding bodies 6 is a plus electrode and the other is a minus electrode. And it is supplied to the electric motor 2 through a pair of roller type brush 24, and the rotating shaft 11a is rotated. When the polarity is reversed, the rotating shaft 11a is reversed.
In this example, the rack 8 does not exist in the middle of the rail 7, and a pair of wheels 15 provided on the apparatus main body 4 roll on the guide surface 5 of the rail 7.

When the curtain 3 is pulled toward the end, the pinion 9 fixed at the center of the drive wheel 1 meshes with the rack 8. At this time, the traveling speed of the device is reduced. This is because the peripheral speed of the pinion 9 is reduced based on the fact that the peripheral diameter of the pinion 9 is smaller than that of the drive wheel 1. Then, the device main body 4 is further moved in the end direction by the engagement between the rack 8 and the pinion 9. Since the curtain 3 is compressed into a corrugated shape at the end, it can be considered that the pinion 9 is lifted from the rack 8 by adding to the apparatus body 4 at this time. The first roller 11 shown in FIG. 1 is rotatably provided on the rotating shaft 11a, and is guided by a guide groove 12 provided on the inner surface of the side wall of the channel portion 7b. To prevent it from floating. Furthermore, the lifting is also prevented by the weight 13 built in the apparatus main body 4.
In this way, when the rack 8 is provided only at the end of the rail, the speed is reduced, and the gearing noise between the rack 8 and the pinion 9 can be reduced as much as possible. Moreover, the curtain 3 can be compressed into a corrugated shape at the end of the rail and held at the end. Further, the speed of the apparatus main body can be increased except at the end.

Next, FIG. 11 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
In this traction device, a rail curtain rail 7 and a normal curtain rail 7 are arranged in parallel, and a pair of device bodies 4 are provided for each. And the board | substrate 17 containing the receiving part 31 is arrange | positioned in the intermediate position of the rail 7, respectively. A rail cap 16 is fitted on one end of each rail 7, and a connector 29 is connected to one of the rail caps 16. The connector 29 is connected to a commercial power source via an AC-DC converter 28 and a plug 30. The DC voltage supplied to the rail cap 16 is supplied to the substrate 17 via the lead wire 6a.
In this example, the left lead wire is omitted, but actually the same lead wire 6a is connected to the substrate 17 on the left side as well. Then, the transmission signal of the wireless transmitter 19 is transmitted to the substrate 17 via the receiving unit 31, and the moving direction of each device body 4 and its stop are controlled by an instruction from the wireless transmitter 19.

FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram of the substrate 17 and has a central control unit CPU, a drive unit Drv, and a switch unit. The switch part can select any one or more of a pair of curtains as shown in FIG. Here, the drape is a normal curtain and the lace refers to a lace curtain. And when specifying both curtains, all can be selected.
Further, the curtain can be opened, closed, and stopped. Furthermore, the opening / closing operation of only one of the left side and the right side of each curtain can be performed. The opening / closing time can also be set.

Next, FIG. 14 is an explanatory view of a traction device of another embodiment of the present invention.
In this embodiment, the rack 8 protrudes downward from the ceiling surface of the rail 7, and the pinion 9 meshes with it. At this time, the wheel 15 is in contact with the guide surface 5. Even if a load is applied to the rack 8 and the pinion 9 due to the grounding, the engagement does not come off. That is, in this example, the lifting prevention means of the present invention is configured without using other means.
Next, the mounting position of the rack 8 is selected to an arbitrary position. It can also be attached to the side wall.
In this example as well, the rack 8 is disposed only at the end of the rail, and the noise between the rack 8 and the pinion 9 can be reduced as much as possible to provide a quiet traction device.
Further, in the embodiment of FIG. 15, in the double curtain, the rack 8 and the pinion 9 exist only at both ends of the rail.

Next, FIG. 16 is explanatory drawing of the traction apparatus of the other Example of this invention.
In this example, the rack 8 is arranged only at both ends and the center of the rail. The racks 8 at both ends are the same as in the example of FIG. In FIG. 16, in addition to that, a pair of racks 8 is also provided at the center of the rail. The pair of racks 8 at the center may be continuous.
The center rack 8 prevents the pair of apparatus main bodies 4 from colliding with each other in the double curtain and separating from each other, thereby causing a gap between the pair of curtains at the center of the rail.
In this embodiment, when the pair of apparatus main bodies 4 come close to each other, the respective pinions 9 come into contact with each other with the rack 8 engaged. This prevents the pair of apparatus main bodies 4 from colliding and separating from each other. This prevents a gap between the pair of curtains at the center of the rail. Therefore, the rack 8 and the pinion 9 in the central part of the rail are for eliminating a gap between the pair of curtains.

(Modification)
In each of the above-described embodiments, the double-opening type of the curtain has been described, but a single-opening type may be used instead.
In FIG. 2, the pinion 9 is provided only on the rotating shaft 11a on the driving side, but in addition, the pinion 9 can also be arranged at the center of the wheel 15 on the driven side.
As shown in FIG. 9, instead of the rail cap 16 with the external substrate 17 in FIG. 7, the substrate 17 is arranged in the cap, and it is connected to each connection piece 33 inside, and the receiving portions 31 are provided on both sides of the outer surface. It may be provided. Similarly, the lead wire 6a of the rail cap 16a without a substrate in FIG. 8 may be carried out in the cap.

Next, transmission / reception may be performed by wireless communication or infrared remote control.
Further, in the embodiment, the power feeder 6 is provided on the lower surface of the mounting portion 7a of the rail 7. However, the side surface and the lower surface of the rail 7, and the rack 8 itself in FIG. 10 can be used as the power feeder. In this case, the motor is energized through the pinion and the rotating shaft. At this time, the rack 8 needs to be electrically insulated from the rail 7. Moreover, the rack 8 of FIG. 10 can be protruded from the inner ceiling surface or side surface of the rail and meshed with the pinion.
