  • As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the present invention provides an electric housing device having an adjustable span, comprising a main body portion 1, a winding cord 3, and a first moving part 2 a and a second moving part 2 b close to the two ends of the main body portion 1. The first moving part 2 a is located on the left of the main body portion 1, and the second moving part 2 b is located on the right of the main body portion 1.
  • The main body portion 1 is provided with a driving device 4, and the bottom of the main body portion 1 is provided with two parallel slide rails 6 which slide along the length direction of the main body portion 1. The two slide rails 6 extend towards the first moving part 2 a and the second moving part 2 b respectively and are fixed to the bottoms of the corresponding moving parts. Specifically, each slide rail 6 has a sliding end 6 a and a fixed end 6 b. The sliding end 6 a is connected to the bottom of the main body portion 1 in a slidable manner, and the top of the fixed end 6 b is fixed to the corresponding moving part. The first moving part 2 a may be drawn apart by a certain distance from the left of the main body portion 1 under the action of the corresponding slide rail 6, and the second moving part 2 b may be drawn apart by a certain distance from the right of the main body portion 1 under the action of the corresponding slide rail 6. The main body portion 1 and the first moving part 2 a, and the main body portion 1 and the second moving part 2 b are respectively provided with through grooves 10 corresponding to the two slide rails 6, and each through groove 10 is located on the outside of the corresponding slide rail 6. Each slide rail 6 is slidably provided with a central running pulley 7, the top of each central running pulley 7 extends out from the corresponding through groove 10, and when the central running pulleys 7 slide on the slide rails 6, the tops of the central running pulleys 7 move along the through grooves 10. The winding cord 3 revolves around the driving device 4, the main body portion 1, the first moving part 2 a and the second moving part 2 b for one circle and winds around the driving device 4 for several circles. The tops of the central running pulleys 7 are fixed to the winding cord 3. The driving device 4 is used to drive the winding cord 3 to move. When the driving device 4 drives the winding cord 3 to move to the left of the main body portion 1 or to the right of the main body portion 1, the winding cord 3 will drive the two central running pulleys 7 to slide towards each other or away from each other. As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the side of each slide rail 6 adjacent to the other slide rail 6 is defined as an inner side, and the other side of the slide rail 6 is defined as an outer side. The side of a through groove 10 adjacent to a slide rail 6 is defined as an inner side of the through groove, and the other side of the through groove 10 is defined as an outer side. The ends of the first moving part 2 a and the second moving part 2 b that are close to the two ends of the main body portion 1 respectively are defined as inner ends, and the ends that are farther from the two ends of the main body portion 1 are defined as outer ends.
  • Through this structural design, the first moving part 2 a and the second moving part 2 b may be drawn apart outwardly along the two slide rails 6 from the two sides of the main body portion 1, as shown in FIG. 3, to make the inner end of the first moving part 2 a and the inner end of the second moving part 2 b apart from the two ends of the main body portion 1, thereby the span of this electric housing device may be increased to adapt to multiple occasions with different widths, realize a wide scope of use and make for people's use. The winding cord 3 winds around the driving device 4 for several cycles so that it has enough length when the first moving part 2 a and the second moving part 2 b are drawn apart outwardly. The driving device 4 is mounted to the main body portion 1. Compared with the prior design, it occupies a smaller space and reduces the weight of the whole device.
  • In this embodiment, the main body portion 1 is provided with a first positioning piece 14 and a second positioning piece 15 that are diagonally arranged and located on the left and right sides of the driving device 4 respectively. The first positioning piece 14 and the first moving part 2 a are on a same side, and the second positioning piece 15 and the second moving part 2 b are on a same side. The first moving part 2 a and the second moving part 2 b are respectively provided with a third positioning piece 16 and a fourth positioning piece 17 corresponding to the second positioning piece 15 and the first positioning piece 14. The third positioning piece 16 and the fourth positioning piece 17 are close to the outer end of the first moving part 2 a and the outer end of the second moving part 2 b respectively. The two through grooves 10 are located between the first positioning piece 14 and the fourth positioning piece 17, and between the second positioning piece 15 and the third positioning piece 16 respectively. The winding cord 3 revolves around the driving device 4, the second positioning piece 15, the third positioning piece 16, the first positioning piece 14 and the fourth positioning piece 17 for one circle to position the trajectory of the winding cord 3.
  • The first positioning piece 14 and the second positioning piece 15 are components of a same structure, as shown in FIG. 3. Such a component comprises a lower panel 14 a arranged on the main body portion 1, an annular component (not visible in the diagram) arranged on the lower panel 14 a, and an upper panel 14 b arranged on the annular component. The upper panel 14 b and the lower panel 14 a are mounted to the main body portion 1 via fasteners. The winding cord 3 winds around the annular component. The third positioning piece 16 and the fourth positioning piece 17 are components of a same structure. Such a component comprises an annular component 17 a and a panel 17 b formed on the top of the annular component 17 a. The panel 17 b is mounted to the moving part on the corresponding side via fasteners. The winding cord 3 winds around the annular component 17 a. The annular component and the annular component 17 a are components of a same structure, and the connecting line between their centers is parallel with the through groove 10. In this way, the winding cord 3 can drive the central running pulley 7 to slide smoothly, and its sliding track is parallel with the through groove 10.
  • In this embodiment, the driving device 4 comprises a gearbox 11, a motor connected to the gearbox 11 (not indicated in the diagram) and a roller connected to the motor 5. The gearbox 11 is used to control the rotating direction of the motor, and the motor controls the rotating direction of the roller 5. The rotating directions include clockwise direction and anticlockwise direction. The roller 5 is used to drive the winding cord 3 to move. When the motor controls the roller 5 to rotate anticlockwise, the winding cord 3 moves towards the right side of the main body portion 1, and drives the two central running pulleys 7 to move towards each other. When the motor controls the roller 5 to rotate clockwise, the winding cord 3 moves towards the left side of the main body portion 1 and drives the two central running pulleys 7 to move away from each other.
  • The gearbox 11 comprises a circuit board, the circuit board comprises a microprocessor and a motion control sensor connected to the microprocessor, and the motion control sensor is connected to a remote controller. The motion control sensor is used to receive the ON/OFF order from the remote controller and send this order to the microprocessor. The microprocessor receives this ON/OFF control order and executes it to control the rotating direction of the motor, thereby controlling the rotating direction of the roller 5 to achieve control of the rotating direction of the winding cord 3, and control of the rotating direction of the two central running pulleys 7.
  • Pulley structures 8 are provided at the locations where the main body portion 1 is close to the first moving part 2 a and the second moving part 2 b respectively.

The fixed frame 21 is fixed to a corresponding subpart. The movable pulley 19 is arranged inside an end of the fixed frame 21 in a movable manner and may slide along the direction of the fixed pulley 20. The winding cord 3 winds around the movable pulley 19 and the fixed pulley 20 for one and a half circles. When the first moving part 2 a and the second moving part 2 b are drawn apart outwardly, under the action of the pull, the winding cord 3 will make the movable pulley 19 slide along the direction of the fixed pulley 20, and eventually close to the fixed pulley 20, thereby increasing the length of the winding cord 3 and the winding cycles of the winding cord 3 around the driving device 5 and driving the central running pulley 7 to slide a longer distance.
  • In this embodiment, a support structure corresponding to the sliding frame 22 is provided inside the sliding groove 23 for supporting the sliding frame. A suspension plate 25 is extended from the support structure towards the fixed frame 21 and received in the fixed frame 21. When the first moving part 2 a and the second moving part 2 b are drawn apart outwardly, the sliding frame 22 slides out from the sliding groove 23 and settled on the suspension plate 25 to separate the pulley structure 8 from the main body portion 1. The suspension plate 25 plays a supporting role to the sliding frame 22. Further, in the process when the first moving part 2 a and the second moving part 2 b are drawn apart and close, the suspension plate 25 also plays a guiding role to the sliding frame 22.
