A mechanism provided with the motor, the first chain wheel, and the second chain wheel is fixed to the main body case by a fixing component.

  To facilitate control, the drive component 300 of the present invention further includes an electronic control system. When the electronic control system controls the second driving device 360 to drive the panel component 200 to convert from the open state to the closed state, the electronic control system stops the continuous driving of the second driving device 360. At the same time, the first driving device 310 is controlled to drive the panel component 200 to move toward the main body case, or the first driving device 310 is controlled to remove the panel component 200. After being driven to move to a position, the continuous driving of the first driving device 310 is stopped, and at the same time, the second driving device 320 is controlled to convert the panel component 200 from a closed state to an open state. To drive.

  In this embodiment, preferably, the electronic control system includes a sensor 500 for detecting that the panel component has moved to a closed state, and a controller. The controller controls the second driving device 360 to drive the panel component 200 to convert from the open state to the closed state, and then the sensor 500 is triggered and the controller receives a trigger signal. Thereafter, the second driving device 360 is stopped, and at the same time, the first driving device 310 is controlled to drive the panel component 200 to the closed position. Alternatively, the controller performs the first driving operation. After controlling the component 310 and driving the panel component 200 to move toward the detachment position for a predetermined time, the continuous driving of the first driving component 310 is stopped and at the same time the second driving component 360 is moved. The panel component 200 is controlled so as to be converted from a closed state to an open state. Sensor 500 is preferably a microswitch. In this embodiment, the electronic control system can save costs by including only one sensor 500. Of course, in other embodiments, the electronic control system may include two sensors 500. That is, instead of determining the arrival of the panel component 200 based on the movement of the panel component 200 toward the closed position and moving for a predetermined time, the panel component 200 is increased by increasing one sensor 500. It may be detected that has moved in the direction of the desorption position.
