Prior Art

Most of the systems used are very similar to each other and their structure is generally simple, although the curtains that are opened and closed by electric power are widely used today. An opening and closing system having all its features programmable is not yet available. In some opening and closing systems, electromechanical components are placed inside or at the end of the pipe where the curtain is wrapped. Flowever, these types of systems appeal to a limited group of buyers due to their high prices. Furthermore, systems that has an opening and closing mechanism operated by being pulled from below, and therefore which are simpler and cheaper are present. Units that convert such simple opening and closing mechanisms into a motor-operated form are also still on the market. Flowever, they too are relatively expensive and unsuitable for large-scale programming.

Patents obtained in this area are largely obtained by the People's Republic of China and involve fairly simple systems. If we give a few examples of patents that have been claimed, People's Republic of China patent no. CN207707727 by She Jiawen for Guandong Jinlian Window Fashion Co. Ltd. gives details of a mechanism where opening and closing process is made by pulling the ropes in curtain systems which are connected to the ropes in order to prevent the rope from escaping by closing with the pulling force of the rope to prevent the rope from slipping back. The people's Republic of China patent CN108412407, obtained by the brothers Lei Zhenbang and Lei Xingbang, understands the simplest curtain control structure. The curtain is pulled up by a rope wrapped on a shaft placed at the upper part of the curtain, and the shaft is rotated by a simple electric motor.

In another People's Republic of China patent, CN108412407 , obtained by Lei Zhenbang and Lei Xingbang, they describe a special motor for turning the drape mechanism. Under patent CN207784914 of the people's Republic of China, obtained by Sun Rui, Nie Mingxing, Zhang Chenxin and Jin Guiyu from Fujian University of Technology, the opening-closing motion of the drape is achieved by lowering and lifting the rings attached to both ends of the curtain. In this way it is claimed that the movement will be more balanced. In People's Republic of China patent no. CN108398851 claimed by Liu Tongxin for Qindao Tongxinlnnovation Laboratory Technology Co. Ltd., a system where a special purpose drape is wound and unwound from a cylinder and in particular, a simple electric circuit used to drive the motor in this system towards both sides is disclosed. In People's Republic of China patent no. CN108354428 by Shen Qunhua and Zha Dongliang of Changshu Bailian Optoelectronic Technical Co. Ltd., a mechanism that allow the drape surface to be wiped during each opening and closing operation by including a drape wiping mechanism with an electric motor.

Inside the drape driving box (11 ) is an energy source (1 ) that energizes all the units in the entire box

(1 11, 1 12, 1 13, 1 14, 1 1 n). This energy source (1 ) can be a rechargeable or single-use battery, as well as an adapter that converts the external electrical energy into the operating electricity required by the units in the system. Also, the driving box (10) can be fed externally with the operating electricity required by the units in the system. The unit that supplies the system with energy from the outside can be supplied from the main grid, from a local or remote generator, or from other sources of electrical energy such as solar cells or fuel cells. The energy supply (1 ) feeds the receiver unit (2) the control unit (3) and the motor (4). The drive connection (5) used in the system is the drive wheel (6) rotated by the motor (4) and this drive wheel (6) turns the chain, i.e. the drive connection (5), lowering and lifting the curtain. Since the speed of the motor (4) and the speed of the drive wheel (6) cannot be the same, the structure consisting of components such as coupling, gear box and shaft constitutes the drive connection (5).

The curtain drive mechanism used in the curtain control system (A) also includes (12) multiple drive mechanisms (12i, 122, 123, 124, 12 _n ).
