Based on the development of AI, 5G, and IoT technology, the smart home market now covers a wide variety of home automation devices. Further, as more people work/study from home because of the impact of COVID-19, home creates a more abundant living domain. As a result, there are an increasing number of consumers seeking smart home automation products and solutions for a more comfortable, meaningful, and higher quality life. These dynamics could open up a vast market for smart home solutions and drive the market growth. According to statistics, the global smart home market is projected to grow from USD 84.5 billion in 2021 to USD 138.9 billion by 2026; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.4% from 2021 to 2026.

In order to achieve a smarter home, technological innovation is one of the most important factors. Gear motors can empower smart home devices by adding the functions of sensing, rotating, and liner transmission. ZHAOWEI, a company that committed to gear motor drive systems in smart home fields for more than 20 years, develops smart home drive solutions and helps the manufacturer to find out a way of seizing the market.

What ZHAOWEI can achieve in the smart home field

Electric Adjustable Standing Desk Drive System

As more and more people choose to work at home, a comfortable desk is necessary. An electric adjustable standing desk can alleviate cervical shoulder fatigue and pain to a large extent by adjusting the desk to a suitable height for work or study. With just a press of a button, desks can easily switch between standing and sitting. The ZHAOWEI intelligent lifting gearbox can be adopted for electric lifting desks. The height of the lifting desk can either be adjusted by the mechanism controlled by the motor or adjusted by a gas spring/hydraulic rod controlled by the compressor. The lifting mechanism of the standing desk is composed of a lifting column, a controller, and a control button. The lifting gearbox is installed in the lifting column, and can simply be adjusted by a customized unique-shaped motor with a planetary gearbox, making adjustments quieter, and with high torque.

Fridge Door Drive System

Nowadays, most of the existing vertical refrigerators are opened and closed manually with arbitrary operation. In daily life, the door of the refrigerator may be forgotten to close or fails to be closed in place tightly, resulting in the leakage of cold air. To solve the above problems, ZHAOWEI develops an automatic door opening and closing for various refrigerators which helps to automatically open and close the door without any manual force. Combined with distance sensors (e.g. infrared sensor), the drive system transmits driving force to the fridge door, realizes stable fridge door opening and closing, and can be controlled through internet control component, switch control component, and voice control component. The refrigerators with automatic opening and closing functions adopt the one-touch power mechanism and link mechanism. In such mechanisms, the motor drives the gears, which further drives the ejector rob to realize easy & smooth operation with high torque even in a cold environment.

Electric Curtain Drive System

When it comes to the smart home, various of remote control home appliances will definitely come to people’s minds. Electric curtain is one of these kinds of smart home appliances enabling consumers to set timers for when the curtains open and/or close, or control all curtains remotely at home that create a more comfortable life. ZHAOWEI offers a build-in micro drive solution for the electric curtain to achieve smooth control, which consists of involute planetary gear reduction mechanism and cycloidal gear reduction mechanism. The adoption of a modern planetary gear set shows the manufacturing wisdom as it is possible to reduce the weight by 50% with the same torque output and transmission ratio as the traditional one. The drive system facilitates quiet wireless control of the curtains. It strives to eliminate the interference on the tooth profile and tests for low backlash. All these keep noise levels as low as possible and help to prolong its service life without repeated maintenance.

Trash Can Sensor Drive System

Among smart home appliances, intelligent trash can largely improve the convenience of life. When a person’s hand or an object approaches the induction window, the trash can lid will automatically open, and the lid will automatically close after the trash is thrown in. People and objects do not need to touch the trash can. Thus, this effectively solves the hidden dangers of hygienic infections of traditional garbage bins to users and prevents various infectious diseases as well as the smell coming from the garbage in the bin. ZHAOWEI micro drive system can be applied to the sensor trash can, also called smart flip trash can. To realize the flipping stability of the automatic trash can flip lid, ZHAOWRI designs a drive system with a damping speed reduction mechanism. The system adopts a dual structure of helical gears and planetary drive mechanism, to achieve trash can lid stable flipping-up within a short time, which can be used in smart home integrating machine and photoelectricity.

Making efforts together to the future smart home

ZHAOWEI is shaping smart life by micro gear motor drive system technology and helps users in a prosperous home automation age. Together with the smart home manufacturer, we aim to add some style to increase the home’s value, become a life changer, and create a real convenient life.
