Description

{KINETIC FACADE}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric canopy system that is automatically driven based on internal and external environments.

The electric tilting system is a technology introduced in accordance with the development of modern building technology, and is formed not only to form the appearance of the building but also to be driven in various ways according to the change of surrounding environment.

The electric cut-off system effectively blocks direct sunlight and heat energy flowing into the interior through the drive in response to environmental changes as described above, thereby improving the energy efficiency while keeping the indoor environment more pleasant.

However, the conventional electric awnings are mostly manufactured by a one-directional linear driving method, and there is a limitation in expressing the aesthetics through the driving. Since they are driven only by the temperature or the position of the sun, the energy efficiency is lowered, Disadvantages existed.

In order to solve these problems, there is a need to introduce an active electric canopy system which is driven in a variety of ways and effectively copes with various environmental changes.

{Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1266800 'A shading device that automatically operates according to the position of the sun according to the season', Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2011-0098318 'Implementation method of interactive media facade', etc.}

The present invention is to provide an electric canopy system that realizes a more comfortable indoor environment and improves energy efficiency based on climatic environment information and indoor environment information.

In addition, the present invention is to provide an electric canopy system that can be driven with a specific pattern to highlight the symbolism and aesthetics of a building.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electric canopy system including a first sensor unit disposed in a first space, a second sensor unit disposed in a second space separated from the first space, A control unit for generating a control signal based on information received from the first sensor unit and the second sensor unit, a plurality of first shading modules disposed on the outer wall of the building and descending or rising, And a driving unit for driving the first or second orifice modules according to a control signal of the control unit, wherein the first orifice module or the second orifice module Wherein a plurality of slits in the form of a louver are formed in each of the slits and a tilting angle of the plurality of slits is separately set for each of the first and second shading modules Respectively.

The first ornamental module and the second ornamental module may be arranged vertically symmetrically.

Each of the first awaking module and the second awning module may have a rectangular shape.

Each of the first and second awakening modules is individually movable up and down by the driving unit based on a control signal of the control unit.

The signal received from the first sensor unit may include at least one of temperature, wind direction, wind speed, precipitation, snowfall, humidity, sun altitude, sunrise time, sunset time, and noise level outside the building.

The signal received from the second sensor unit may include at least one of temperature, humidity, and existence of a person inside the building.

The electric shading system according to at least one embodiment of the present invention can automatically adjust the amount of sunshine of the building to reflect the environment inside and outside the building. This makes it possible to manage buildings more efficiently and reduce energy consumption.

Further, since the electric canopy system of the present invention is attached to the facade of the building and is driven to have a unique shape, it is possible to diversify the design of the building and improve the symbolism and aesthetics of the building.

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.

In addition, the control unit can automatically control the facade system based on the indoor environment information and the external environment information according to a predetermined operation standard, as well as the facade driving according to the user command inputted through the user interface It is also possible to control.

The driving method is not limited to the above example, and various methods for driving the facade 200 can be adopted.

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.

[ Even if the external environment meets the driving condition of the awning system according to the predetermined drive reference, the controller 130 may not drive 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.
