Abstract

A driving device includes: a transmission mechanism; a driving mechanism, moved with the transmission mechanism; a linkage mechanism, moved with the driving mechanism and including a locking unit; and a housing, including an accommodation seat and sealing cover, the accommodation seat accepting the transmission, driving and linkage mechanisms, the sealing cover in combination with the accommodation seat to seal the transmission, driving and linkage mechanisms, one end of the linkage mechanism partly extended out of the sealing seat, and the locking unit partly pressed against an inner side wall of the accommodation seat. Whereby, the transmission mechanism is actuated to drive the driving mechanism to rotate, allowing the driving mechanism to drive the linkage mechanism to rotate; the action of the transmission mechanism is stopped, the locking unit locks the linkage mechanism, thereby capable of preventing power waste and the damage of the transmission mechanism and driving mechanism.

Claims (13)

1. A driving device, comprising:

a transmission mechanism;

a driving mechanism that is rotatably driven by said transmission mechanism;

a linkage mechanism that is rotatably driven by said driving mechanism and comprising a locking unit; and

a housing, comprising an accommodation seat and sealing cover, said accommodation seat at least accepting said transmission mechanism, driving mechanism and linkage mechanism, said sealing cover in combination with said accommodation seat to seal said transmission mechanism, driving mechanism and linkage mechanism, one end of said linkage mechanism partly extended out of said sealing cover, and said locking unit partly pressed against an inner side wall of said accommodation seat;

wherein said linkage mechanism further comprises a gear seat and a rotating shaft configured on said gear seat, and said gear seat is in engagement with said driving mechanism;

wherein said locking unit is configured between said gear seat and rotating shaft, a bottom of said gear seat is configured with a plurality of limiting portions, two sides of each of said plurality of limiting portions respectively have a limiting surface, a bottom of said rotating shaft has a plurality of abutting portions, each of said plurality of abutting portions is respectively positioned at two sides of each of said plurality of limiting portions, said locking unit comprises a plurality of rolling columns and an elastic sheet, each of said plurality of rolling columns is respectively positioned at two sides of each of said plurality of limiting portions, each of said plurality of rolling columns is pressed against said elastic sheet, and each of said plurality of rolling columns is respectively pressed against one end surface of each of said plurality of abutting portions, said limiting surface of each of said plurality of limiting portions and the inner side wall of said accommodation seat.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said transmission mechanism comprising a motor and a motor gear configured on one end of said motor, and said motor gear in engagement with said driving mechanism.
