Motorized gearbox assembly with through-channel design |
摘要 |
An apparatus in accordance with the invention includes a motor and a gearbox coupled to the motor and configured to apply torque to a tilt rod of a window blind. The gearbox is configured to enable the tilt rod to pass completely through the gearbox. In certain embodiments, the gearbox includes a shaft configured to apply torque to the tilt rod. This shaft may extend from a first end of the gearbox to a second end of the gearbox and may include a through-channel to enable the tilt rod to pass completely therethrough. A corresponding method is also disclosed herein. |

1. An apparatus comprising:
a motor; and a gearbox comprising an internal enclosure and an external enclosure, wherein the internal enclosure encloses gears, and wherein the external enclosure encloses the internal enclosure and creates a cavity between the internal enclosure and the external enclosure; an output shaft comprising a through-channel, the output shaft extending through the internal enclosure and the external enclosure, wherein the gears apply torque to the output shaft; a window covering tilt rod that passes through the through-channel of the output shaft; a selectable tilt rod adapter insert fixedly disposed within the through-channel of the output shaft, the adapter having an internal shape complementary to the tilt rod and an external shape complementary to the through-channel of the output shaft, wherein the output shaft applies torque to the tilt rod via the tilt rod adapter. |
