1 is a conceptual diagram of an electric canopy system (kinetic facade) according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, an electric sunroof system integrates external environment information and indoor environment information to control a facade. Conventional awning systems have a disadvantage in that the efficiency of the system deteriorates because the facade is controlled by grasping only outdoor information. However, since the detailed operation of the facade is determined by integrating indoor and outdoor environmental information as shown in the present invention, it is possible to improve system performance and maximize energy efficiency.

The external environment information referred to here includes weather information and situation information. The weather information includes current temperature, wind direction, wind speed, precipitation or snowfall, humidity, altitude of the sun, sunrise and sunset time. The situation information includes information such as weather information such as various kinds of warning and the amount of noise in the surroundings.

The indoor environment information includes information such as a room temperature, a humidity, and whether a person is present in the room.

The electric canopy system of the present invention includes a sensor unit for collecting the information as described above, and a control unit for driving the facade by integrating the collected information.

For example, the control unit can control the degree of opening of the facade according to the altitude of the sun. In other words, if the sun's elevation is highest at noon, the façade is opened wide and the sun's altitude is low in the evening, the facade will remain slightly open, and once the sun is over, the facade will close.

In another example, the control unit can drive the facade by comparing the indoor and outdoor humidity. More specifically, when the humidity difference between indoor and outdoor is large, the facade can be driven to open. However, even if there is a large difference between the indoor and outdoor humidity, the facade is not driven if the indoor humidity is in the appropriate humidity range.

Further, even if the indoor and outdoor conditions meet the facade driving conditions, the controller may not drive the facade if there is no person in the room.

In addition to the specific examples described above, the electric canopy system of the present invention can be driven by various combinations of internal environment information and external environment information.

2 is a conceptual diagram showing a configuration of an electric canopy system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the electric canopy system 100 may include a facade 200 and a curtain wall 300.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the facade 200 refers to a kinetic binder and is driven in various ways to form the exterior of the building. For example, the driving of the facade 200 is a sliding method in which the sliding movement is performed in one direction. A rotating system rotating around a shaft, a tilting system in which both sides are moved up and down with respect to the center, a compressing system in which a central portion is protruded by applying a force to both sides, And a gas system for raising the temperature.

The shape of the facade 200 may be various shapes according to design needs. For example, the facade 200 is basically a vertical or horizontal, a planar, or a cubic. The planar shape may include punching with a plurality of holes, overlayed with multiple plates, printing with a certain pattern drawn, and the like. Further, the facade 200 may be formed by combining the above-described shapes. For example, it may be a combination of a vertical type and a horizontal type, or a combination of a horizontal type and a horizontal type. Different driving schemes are applied depending on the shape of the facade 200.

The facade 200 must be made of a light material in order to not only have high strength but also to reduce power consumption during operation because the facade 200 forms the appearance of a building. To meet these requirements, the facade 200 may be made from perforated aluminum, polyester, carbon fiber, hybrid or concrete cloth, or the like.

The curtain wall 300 may serve as an outer wall partitioning the interior space. In this embodiment, the facade 200 and the curtain wall 300 function separately from each other. However, in another embodiment, the facade 200 and the curtain wall 300 can be integrally combined and driven.

Further, the electric canopy system 100 may further include an internal system 400. The internal system 400 senses a change in the indoor environment and controls driving of the facade 200.

The driving method of the electric canopy system 100 of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4 to FIG. 7C. The above-described features may be reflected in the awning system described below.

3 is a conceptual diagram showing a driving system of the electric canopy system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the electric canopy system 100 includes a sensor unit 110, a communication unit 120, a controller 130, and a driver 140.

The sensor unit 110 may include a first sensor unit 111 and a second sensor unit 112.

The first sensor unit 111 senses environmental information outside the building. To this end, the first sensor unit 111 includes sensors for detecting an inflow amount of sunlight, an inflow angle of sunlight, an external temperature, external humidity, air quality, wind intensity, wind direction and noise level. These sensors may be mounted on the facade 200 of the building or mounted outside the building.

The second sensor unit 112 senses the indoor environment information. To this end, the first sensor unit 111 includes a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a motion sensor, and an infrared sensor. These sensors are mounted inside the building.

The information collected by the sensor unit 110 is transmitted to the controller 130.

The control unit 130 compares the information received from the first sensor unit 111 and the information received from the second sensor unit 112 to determine whether to operate the awning system. That is, even if the external environment meets the driving condition of the awning system, the controller 130 does not operate the awning system if the internal environment does not match the driving condition.

For example, if there is no person in the room even on a sunny day, the awning system may not be activated. According to this embodiment, it is possible to restrict the driving of the awning system when there is no person inside the building, thereby preventing energy wastage.

As another example, if the air conditioner or the humidifier is operated in the room to maintain a comfortable environment, the operation of the system can be restricted to prevent energy wastage.

The communication unit 120 is configured to allow the controller 130 and external communication devices to exchange data. The external communication device may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a smart phone, a laptop computer, a digital broadcasting terminal, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants), a PMP (Portable Multimedia Player), a digital TV, And includes the same fixed terminal.

The communication unit 120 may include a local area communication module. Bluetooth ™, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Infrared Data Association (IrDA), Ultra Wideband (UWB), ZigBee, NFC (Near Field Communication), etc. are used as short range communication technology .

When the user inputs a control command for the electric shading system 100 to the terminal, the control command is transmitted to the control unit 130 through the communication unit 120. This allows the user to remotely control the awning system. Also, the driving information of the awning system is transmitted to the user's terminal, so that the user can easily grasp the operating state of the awning system.

The driving unit 140 includes a driving motor for driving the facade 200 of the awning system, a guide rail for guiding the movement of the facade 200, a shaft fixed to the facade 200 to rotate the facade 200 . ≪ / RTI >

That is, the first panel 221 and the second panel 231 are repeatedly arranged at a predetermined interval to improve the esthetics of the exterior of the building, and the amount of sunshine can be kept constant. For example, the first panel 221 is formed so as not to transmit light, the second panel 231 is formed to transmit a predetermined amount of light, and the first panel 221 and the second panel 231 are alternately disposed So that an appropriate amount of light can be introduced into the room.
