The terms or words used in the present specification and claims should not be construed as being limited to ordinary or lexical meanings, and the inventor can appropriately define the concept of terms in order to describe his or her invention in the best way. Based on the principles, it should be interpreted as meanings and concepts consistent with the technical spirit of the present invention.

Therefore, the embodiments shown in the embodiments and the drawings shown in this specification are only the most preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all of the technical spirit of the present invention, and various equivalents that can replace them at the time of this application It should be understood that there may be and variations.

Hereinafter, prior to the description with reference to the drawings, not necessary for revealing the gist of the present invention, that is, a well-known configuration that can be added by those skilled in the art will not be shown or not specifically described Well, reveal the notes.

The present invention relates to a blind to which the upper and lower limit switches are applied using a magnet and a system for performing group / individual control of the blind.

First, a system for performing group / individual control of blinds according to the present invention may refer to FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings.

1 schematically shows a configuration of a system for performing group / individual control of blinds according to the present invention.

According to FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings, a system for performing group / individual control of blinds according to the present invention includes: a home automation system 10; Group controller 20; And blinds 30.

Home automation is a system that integrates devices as a system and integrates them with a computer to ensure the safety of homes and homes and to realize a more comfortable family life. The detailed description of the home automation system 10 using such home automation will be omitted.

The group controller 20 is connected to the home automation system 10 and receives control signals to control a plurality of blinds 30 included as a group in the group controller 20 individually or in groups. .

Such a home automation system can control up to 32 control objects (group controller of the present invention). In addition, the group controller 20 is configured to control up to 32 blinds. Accordingly, 32 x 32 total blinds 30 may be controlled individually or in groups.

The home automation system 10 may receive a control signal from a separate terminal using Ethernet, WIFI, or IoT communication, or may have a separate control panel to directly input a control signal.

In addition, the method in which the home automation system 10 communicates with the group controller 20 uses RS-485 communication. In addition, the group controller 20 and the blind 30 also use RS-485 communication. However, since the blind 30 has been disclosed in a number of techniques that are controlled through a conventional remote control, it can also be individually controlled through the remote control through ZigBee communication. In addition, the Zigbee communication can also be applied to the individual controllers 20 to control a plurality of blinds individually or in groups through the individual controllers 20 through remote control communication.

To this end, specifically, the individual controller 20 may each include a blind controller for controlling the blind 30, and as an example, may be configured as shown in [Table 1].

The blind 30 described above may be configured as follows with reference to FIG. 2 of the accompanying drawings.

Figure 2 shows a blind applied to the upper and lower limit switches using a magnet according to the present invention.

The blind 30 is installed in a blind installation area 1 such as a window with a normal blind structure.

However, since the conventional blind has a controller to control the upper and lower limits of the blind and is located inside the glass window (double window), the repair cost is excessive due to the need to open and repair the glass when repairing due to a failure. Many problems, such as difficulty in maintaining the vacuum state in the glass, have occurred due to the opening of the glass.

Accordingly, in the present invention, the blind controller is installed outside the glass. Since such a structure is known in various technologies such as registered patent publication No. 10-1101362, it is possible to apply various disclosed technologies at the time of filing.

And in the present invention, a switch (sensor S) that regulates the upper / lower limit of the blind is installed on the outside of the glass.

Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 of the accompanying drawings, provided with a magnetic sensor (S) on one side of the side wall of the blind installation area (1), two magnetic sensors (S) in the height direction so as to control the upper and lower limits To be provided.

In addition, the inside or outside of the blind bar 31 provided at the bottom of the blind 30 is provided with a magnet to regulate the upper or lower limit according to the sensed value of the magnetic sensor S.

To this end, it is natural that the group controller 20 (or the home automation system) may be provided with a control unit that receives the detection value of the magnetic sensor S and controls the rising or falling of the blind 30.

Accordingly, even if the blind 30 needs to be repaired, it is possible to overcome the above-described problems as the repair work is possible without opening the glass.

Meanwhile, according to the design condition, as shown in [Table 2], button means may be further included.

This button means is coupled to the line connecting the blind bar 31 provided in the blind 30, if the blind bar 31 is configured directly at the bottom of the blind without including the line, separate lines between It can be connected to the button means.

This button means, when the blind 30 is lowered, reduces the impact transmitted to the blind bar 31, and the magnetic sensor to control the lower limit by always causing the blind bar 31 to receive downward force by gravity ( It can be positioned in the sensing area of S), and functions to maintain the horizontality of the blind bar 31.

As shown in [Table 2], the button means includes a body composed of a two-stage multi-stage type, and the body includes a through hole penetrating from the top to the bottom. The upper through-hole open area has a smaller size than the lower through-hole open area, and a spring is provided inside the body. Therefore, the spring is configured such that it cannot be released through the through hole above the body.

According to this structure, the spring and the body are inserted downward from the upper side of the string so as to be combined. Therefore, easy bonding is possible.

In addition, the string is configured such that the projection is projected on one side so that the diameter of the projection is larger than the normal diameter of the string. Accordingly, the body and the spring are caught in the protrusion on one side of the string. At this time, the protrusion may be made of a material having a stronger strength than the string, such as adhesion or welding.

According to such a configuration, when the blind 30 is lowered and the impact is transmitted to the blind bar 31, the spring of the button means hits the inner side of the upper surface of the body and can reduce the shock by the falling force and the elasticity of the spring. And

In addition, as the spring is depressed and expanded by pressing on the inner side of the upper surface of the body, the bar is pushed downward through the protrusions so that the blind bar 31 is always positioned, so that the magnet of the blind bar 31 is a magnetic sensor ( In S), it can always be located within the sensing area. For this, the string may be made of an elastic material.

In addition, as shown in [Table 2], the lower end of the body may be positioned at a higher position than the lower end of the spring. This is to facilitate the elastic action of the spring.

In addition, a contact sensor is provided on the inner surface of the upper surface of the body, so that the contact of the spring can be sensed to output a sensed value.

At this time, the button means is provided with one for each of the strings provided at both ends of the outermost side based on the blind bar 31, so that two button means can be provided for one blind 30.

In this case, if the detection value is not received from both the contact sensors of the two button means after the blind 30 descends, the group controller 20 or the home automation system 10 may generate a predetermined notification.

The detection value of the touch sensor may be transmitted to the group controller 20 or the home automation system 10, and the group controller 20 or the home automation system 10 may be determined based on the reception of the detection value. Can trigger a notification.

At this time, the fact that the detection value was not received from both the contact sensors of the button means means that the direction of the blind bar 30 in one direction (the direction in which the detection value of the contact sensor is not received) is inclined. Because it is.

It is obvious that the above description using the accompanying drawings describes only the main points of the present invention, and is not limited to the configuration of the attached drawings of the present invention, as various designs are possible within the technical scope.
