{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 one embodiment of the present invention, the facade comprises a first module that rotates about an axis parallel to the ground, and a second module that is spaced up and down from the first module and is configured to rotate about an axis parallel to the ground, .

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first module may include a first drive motor driven by the control signal, a first shaft extending in a direction parallel to the paper surface and coupled to the first drive motor, And first and second members forming an outer wall of the building and fixed to the first shaft.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second module may include a second driving motor driven by the control signal, a second shaft extending in a direction parallel to the paper surface and coupled to the second driving motor, And third and fourth members constituting the outer wall of the building and fixed to the second shaft.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first and second members have an isosceles triangle shape and are fixed to the first shaft such that the base sides face each other.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the third and fourth members form an isosceles triangular shape and are fixed to the second shaft so that their vertexes face each other.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the control signal is a signal for sequentially driving the first module and the second module.

An electric canopy system associated with at least one embodiment of the present invention senses environmental information and automatically adjusts the amount of sunshine in the building. This makes it possible to manage buildings more efficiently and reduce energy loads.

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. 3 to FIG. 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 >

4A to 4C are conceptual diagrams showing driving states of the electric canopy system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, FIG. 4A illustrates a state in which the facade 200 is closed, FIG. 4B illustrates a state in which the facade 200 is being driven, and FIG. 4C illustrates a state in which the facade 200 is opened .

4A to 4C, the facade 200 is formed by meshing members of an isosceles triangle shape. That is, the facades 200 are arranged such that triangles of the same shape are arranged in different directions and engaged with each other.

Specifically, in the first module 210, the two triangular members are arranged to face the base. In other words, the first module 210 is formed with a facade 200 having a wide central portion and gradually becoming narrower toward both sides.

The second module 220 is disposed in parallel with the first module 210, and the two triangular members are arranged to face the vertexes. In other words, the second module 220 is formed with a facade 200 having a narrow central portion and gradually widening toward both sides.

The shapes of the first module 210 and the second module 220 are shown in more detail in FIG.

5, the height h of the triangular-shaped member is about 1/2 of the total width W of the facade 200, and the width l of the triangular- 2 modules 220. [0031] As shown in FIG. Further, according to the present embodiment, the triangle may be an isosceles triangle.

As shown in the figure, the first module 210 and the second member 211b are disposed such that the base sides of the first member 211a and the second member 211b face each other. A first shaft 212 is coupled to a rear surface of the first member 211a and the second member 211b. The shaft is connected to a first drive motor (not shown) to transmit rotational force to the members. The first driving motor may be mounted at one end or both ends of the first shaft 212. The first driving motor is controlled by the controller 130. When the first driving motor is driven, the first shaft 212 rotates and the members coupled with the first shaft 212 move. The rotation angle of the first shaft 212 may be limited to 90 degrees.

As shown in the figure, the second module 220 is disposed such that the corners of the third member 221a and the fourth member 221b face each other. The second shaft 222 is coupled to the rear surfaces of the third member 221a and the fourth member 221b. The shaft is connected to a second drive motor to transmit rotational force to the members. The second driving motor may be mounted at one end or both ends of the second shaft 222. [ The second driving motor (not shown) is controlled by the controller 130. When the second driving motor is driven, the second shaft 222 rotates and the members coupled with the first shaft 212 move. The rotation angle of the second shaft 222 may be limited to 90 degrees.

The first drive motor and the second drive motor may be independently driven or simultaneously driven. In other words, only one of the first module 210 and the second module 220 is opened or the two columns are opened at the same time, or the first module 210 and the second module 220 are sequentially opened It is possible to do. Also, the first module 210 and the second module 220 can rotate in opposite directions.

For example, if it is determined that ventilation is needed urgently, the first module 210 and the second module 220 may be simultaneously driven to increase the open area. If it is not necessary to evacuate the first module 210 and the second module 220, It is possible to reduce the area to be opened by driving only the main body 210.

4A to 4C, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the first module 210 and the second module 220 are repeatedly arranged on the facade 200 up and down. Only the lower half of the triangular shaped member is mounted (231a, 231b) and the uppermost half of the triangular shaped member is mounted (241a, 241b) on the module disposed at the lowest place. In other words, a member having a right triangle shape is mounted on the uppermost row at the lower end, rather than an isosceles triangle member, so that the member can be prevented from protruding beyond the boundary of the building.

The electric canopy system 100 senses environmental information and automatically adjusts the amount of sunshine of the building. This makes it possible to manage buildings more efficiently and reduce energy loads.

Further, since the electric canopy system 100 of the present invention is attached to the facade 200 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.

The above-described electric shading system 100 is not limited to the configuration and the method of the embodiments described above, but the embodiments may be configured such that all or some of the embodiments are selectively combined so that various modifications can be made. have.
