1 is a perspective view schematically showing an embodiment of a smart window system 1 according to the present invention. The smart window system 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a square-shaped door frame frame 40 installed on a wall of a building; A window frame 30 provided with a glass window 35 and installed to be horizontally movable on the frame 40 of the door. The filter is installed on the window frame to block the inflow of dust or fine dust. A member 20; And a filter support member 10 installed detachably on the door frame 40 and the window frame 30 of the window frame to support the filter member 20.

On the other hand, the window frame 30 is provided with a transport means 310 for automatically opening and closing the window frame 30, and the windows frame 30 are sensors for detecting whether the window frame 30 is opened or closed and the degree of occlusion. (440,450) is installed, and environmental detection sensors (420,430,410) for detecting the external and external environments of the window frame are installed.

The door frame 40 is spaced apart at regular intervals, and a pair of vertical frame members 41 each having a plurality of vertical guide rails 42 formed on an inner surface, and a horizontal guide rail leading to the vertical guide rails 42 A plurality of (44) is formed is made of a pair of horizontal frame members 43 that connect the upper and lower ends of the vertical frame member 41, respectively.

In addition, the window frame 30 supports both sides of the glass window 35 and a pair of vertical frame members 31 formed with grooves 31' in which the vertical guide rails 41 are accommodated, and the upper surface of the glass window 35. And a pair of horizontal frame members 33 supporting grooves and having grooves in which the horizontal guide rails 44 are accommodated.

In addition, the filter support member 10 is installed on the vertical frame member 31 of the window frame 30 and the vertical frame member 41 of the door frame 40, respectively, and the filter member 20 is provided on the filter support member 10. By combining, it is possible to keep indoor air clean by removing dust and fine dust contained in air flowing from the outside during ventilation.

In a preferred embodiment according to the present invention, four vertical guide rails 42 and horizontal guide rails 44 are formed on the vertical frame members 41 and the horizontal frame members 42 constituting the door frame 40, respectively. A window frame 30 is installed on the first guide rails 42a, 44a and the second guide rails 42b, 44b located on the indoor side to form an inner window, and the third guide rail located on the outdoor side ( 42c) (44c) and the fourth guide rail (42d) (44d) to form a double window by installing a window frame (30), respectively, to form an outer window, the filter support member (10) to which the filter member (20) is installed ) Is configured in the inner window, and the transfer means 310 is installed in the outer window.

At this time, the window frame 30 may be installed in a pair in the front-rear direction to the door frame 40 so as to cross each other, one is installed in the middle of the door frame 40, each of which can be crossed on each side of the total 3 Dogs may be installed.

On the other hand, the filter support member 10 is formed in a vertical direction, as shown in Figure 5, the intermediate frame 11 and the door frame 30, which is in close contact with the side of the window frame 30 or the door frame 40 A plurality of vertical guide rails 42 formed on the vertical frame member 41 or the vertical frame member 31 of the window frame 30 is formed to protrude in a direction perpendicular to one side of the intermediate plate 11 so as to be elastically coupled to the side It includes two coupling protrusions 12 and a pair of support protrusions 13 protruding at right angles from the other surface of the intermediate plate 11 so that the filter member 20 is accommodated.

At this time, the number of engaging projections 12 is not necessarily formed of four, but may be formed of five or more depending on the structure of the window frame 30 or the frame of the door frame 40. Further, it is more preferable to place a certain degree of inclined surface at the end of the engaging projection 12 so that it does not generate interference and is naturally inserted when coupled to the window frame 30 or the door frame 40.

Accordingly, the filter support member 10 is firmly coupled to the vertical frame member 31 of the window frame 30 or the vertical frame member 41 of the door frame 401 using a plurality of engaging projections 12. The filter member 20 can be stably supported by using a pair of support protrusions 13.

At this time, the support protrusions 13 are formed inside the ends of the intermediate plate 11, respectively, and the first coupling protrusion 12a and the fourth coupling protrusion 12d located at the outermost of the coupling protrusions 12 are the supporting protrusions ( It is preferably formed on the outside of 13). That is, the support protrusions 13 are respectively formed inside the end of the intermediate plate 11 so that the filter member 20 is located in the middle portion without being biased to either side in the front-rear direction of the filter support member 10, and the filter member The first coupling protrusion 12a and the fourth coupling protrusion 12d are formed outside the support protrusion 13 so that the 20 is stably supported.

In addition, it is preferable that the first coupling protrusion 12a is orthogonally formed at one end of the intermediate plate 11 and the other end extends outwardly than the fourth coupling protrusion 12d. Of course, when installing the filter support member 10, the intermediate plate 11 should be extended to face the indoor side, and the intermediate plate 11 should not be protruded compared to the window frame 30. Accordingly, the middle plate 11 and the first engaging projection 12a are orthogonal to the outside of the window frame so that the aesthetics are not deteriorated and the middle plate 11 is brought into close contact with the window frame 30 inside the window frame.

In addition, by installing a sealing member 36 such as a weathered paper between the two window frames 30 overlapping each other, it is possible to prevent external air from entering the gap with the window frame 30.

In addition, the plurality of engaging projections 12 provided on the intermediate plate 11 is preferably formed with a uniform gap therebetween. That is, the spacing between the engaging projections 12 is determined according to the structure of the vertical frame member 31 of the window frame 30 and the vertical guide rail 42 of the vertical frame member 41 of the door frame 40, the installation structure, etc. It can be made, but by varying the spacing between the engaging projections 12, it is to be applicable to various types of window frame 30 and door frame 40.

Specifically, a description will be given of the coupling structure of the window frame 30 and the door frame 40 and the filter support member 10 as follows.

In this case, the first coupling protrusion 12a serves as a reinforcing material. However, when the thickness of the vertical frame member 31 constituting the window frame 30 is wider, the inner wall of the groove 31' in which the second coupling protrusion 12b is not outside the vertical frame member 31 It may be in close contact with the third engaging projection (12c) may be to perform the role of a reinforcing material.

In addition, when the filter support member 10 is installed on the door frame 40, the third coupling protrusion 12c and the fourth coupling protrusion 12d among the coupling protrusions 12 of the filter support member 10 are vertical frames. Each of the first guide rails 42a formed on the member 41 is in close contact with each other, and the first engaging projections 12a are installed to be in close contact with the side surfaces of the second guide rail 42b. In this case, the second coupling protrusion 12b serves as a reinforcing material. Accordingly, the versatility of the filter support member 10 is greatly improved.

In addition, the length of the engaging projection 12 is the depth of the groove 31' formed in the vertical frame member 31 of the window frame 30 or the guide rail 42 formed in the vertical frame member 41 of the door frame 40. ), but is preferably formed based on the smallest of the commercial window frame 30 and the door frame 40. This is to be used regardless of the depth of the groove 31' formed in the commercial window frame 30 and the height of the guide rail 42 of the door frame 40.

However, the longer the engaging projection 12 is, the stronger the engaging force is, so that the longer the engaging projection 12 is formed, the depth of the groove 31' formed in the window frame 30 compared to the engaging projection 12 length. It may be formed to be collapsible so that it can be used even when the height of the guide rail 42 of the door frame 40 is shallow or low.

In addition, the filter member 20 is attached to the filter body 21 to filter dust and fine dust, and is inserted into the filter support member 10 and installed along the edge of the filter body 21 to support the filter body 21 It consists of a filter frame (22).

11 is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of a control unit for explaining the main functions of the smart window system configured as described above.

11, the control unit 100 of the smart window system according to the present invention is a sensor input unit 110 for receiving data sensed from a plurality of sensors 400, receiving and storing input from a user Corresponds to the comparison result from the environment comparison unit 130 and the environment comparison unit 130 for comparing internal and external environments, user settings, etc., based on data input from the user input unit 120 and the sensor input unit 110 Opening and closing amount determining unit 140 for determining the opening and closing amount of the window frame, the motor driving unit 150 to drive the rotation of the motor 312 in response to the determination result of the opening and closing amount determining unit and the application installed in the user's smart phone And a communication unit 160 for performing communication or communicating with a home server connected to a home network.

The sensor input unit 110 receives data from various sensors constituting the opening/closing amount sensing unit, the outdoor environmental sensing unit, the indoor environmental sensing unit, and the opening/closing sensing unit as described above, and the MPU 170 of the control unit is an input sensor It is configured to operate the smart window system according to the program stored in advance based on the values.

The sensor data values input from the sensor input unit 110 are as follows.

Coverage detection unit: Data corresponding to the length of an open window frame

The user input unit 120 may be integrally formed with the control unit 100 (control box) installed in the vicinity of the door frame, or may include a display device and a key input unit to request input from the user, or the user. It may be provided on an application installed on a smartphone, etc., preferably may be formed on both the control unit and the application.

It includes data input by the user through the user input unit 120, for example, but not limited to, indoor temperature, indoor humidity, indoor fine dust concentration, and indoor carbon dioxide concentration. Such data may be input through an application, and the input data may be stored in a memory (not shown) in the controller 100.

The user input unit 120 further includes a function of inputting a specific time zone through an application at a remote location, that is, when the user is out, and the time input by the user is further configured to be further stored in the same memory as described above. It may be.

The environment comparison unit 130 sets the desired indoor temperature, indoor humidity, indoor fine dust concentration, and indoor carbon dioxide concentration values input by the user, as described above, the indoor indoor temperature, indoor humidity, indoor fine dust concentration, and indoor carbon dioxide. Compare with the concentration data, and transmit the comparison result to the MPU 170, the MPU receives the comparison result value and external environment data, for example, outdoor temperature data, outdoor humidity data, outdoor fine dust concentration data, The outdoor lane data and the outdoor wind speed data are called to determine whether the window frame is opened or closed, the amount of opening and closing when opening and closing, and the opening and closing time through two data.

The MCU 170 drives the motor driving unit 150 based on the determined opening/closing amount, opening/closing amount, and opening/closing time to perform opening or closing of the window frame 30.

As described above, the opening of the window frame is performed based on the environment value set by the user, the current indoor environment value, and the result detected by the outdoor environment detection unit. However, exceptionally, the control unit 100 is configured to notify the user's application through the communication unit 160 without performing this when the external environmental condition is worse than the indoor environmental condition.

12 exemplarily shows a user setting item through the user input unit 120. As illustrated in FIG. 12, a user may set desired indoor environmental conditions through the user input unit 120.

As illustrated, the user sets the fine dust concentration to 0-50 μg/m³, room temperature 23-26 degrees, indoor humidity 50-60%, and indoor carbon dioxide concentration 200-400 ppm, as target values, MPU 170 Monitors fine dust, concentration, indoor temperature, indoor humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration from indoor environment sensors, determines whether or not these monitored values are within the above-described set values or are outside the above-mentioned set values, and uses external environmental conditions By determining whether or not the target value can be reached, the window frame is opened and closed.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, a target environment condition input by a user may be given priority. As illustrated in FIG. 12, the user may assign a priority to each item through the input window, and the control unit may perform opening or closing of the window according to the given priority. That is, when it is determined that all of the indoor environmental conditions cannot be optimized by the external environmental conditions, the controller is operated to optimize the indoor environmental conditions according to the given priority.

In addition, as described above, in the smart window system 1 according to the present invention, the opening and closing of the window frame is determined in consideration of outdoor environment conditions, indoor environment conditions, and target environment conditions.

For example, in the above-described example, in the case of the fine dust concentration entered by the user through the user input unit 120, the target value is 0 to 50 μg/m³, and the indoor fine dust concentration exceeds 50 μg/m³. Calls the data of the outdoor environment and determines what the outdoor fine dust concentration is.

When the outdoor external fine dust concentration is 50 µg/m³, the control unit can improve the indoor fine dust concentration by ventilating the indoor air through the opening of the window frame, but when the outdoor external fine dust concentration is greater than 50 µg/m³ Since the indoor fine dust concentration cannot be improved by opening the window frame, the opening of the window frame is not performed.

This smart opening operation can be equally applied to changing indoor temperature, indoor humidity, and indoor CO2 concentration in addition to indoor fine dust. In the case of the indoor temperature, the controller also does not open the window frame when the outdoor temperature is outside the designated range.

Also, in the case of indoor humidity, the control unit does not open the window frame when the outdoor humidity is outside the designated range, and also operates not to open the window frame when the outdoor CO2 concentration is outside the specified range in the indoor CO2 concentration.

However, when operating in the priority mode during operation as described above, the control unit first determines the given priority. Referring to the example of FIG. 4, the priority is the fine dust concentration-room temperature-room humidity-room CO2 Since it is specified in the order of density, the control unit first determines whether the outdoor environment helps to improve the indoor fine dust concentration, and when it helps to improve the fine dust concentration, the window frame is opened to adjust the indoor fine dust concentration. Can be lowered. However, accordingly, at least one of indoor temperature, indoor humidity, or indoor CO2 concentration may be outside the range of the target environmental value.

On the other hand, if it is determined that it is impossible to lower the concentration of fine dust given as the first priority, the control unit will not perform window frame opening even if other indoor environments (indoor temperature, indoor humidity, and indoor CO2 concentration) can be improved. .

Such priority operation modes may also be used in combination. For example, in the above embodiment, if the control unit determines that items 1-2 (fine dust/room temperature) or items 1-3 (fine dust/CO2) can be improved through opening the window, it is 1-2. It can be operated to improve the indoor environment by giving priority to items.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in addition, when the two or more target environments are satisfied, the control unit may be operated to improve the indoor environment through window opening regardless of priority.

Next, the user can set the degree of opening of the window frame through the user input unit. The opening degree of the window frame includes full opening, 1/2 opening, 1/4 opening, and smart opening. The degree of opening of the window frame selected by the user corresponds to the degree to which the controller automatically opens the window frame for ventilation.

For example, when the user selects full opening of the window frame opening through the user input unit, the controller operates to open the window frame when the indoor environment satisfies the ventilation condition, and the user opens the window frame through the user input unit When 1/2 opening is selected, when the indoor environment satisfies the ventilation condition, the control unit operates to open only half of the window frame.

In the case of smart opening, the control unit performs opening of the window frame in response to an external atmospheric environment. For example, when smart open is selected, the controller further receives input from an outdoor condition, for example, a rain sensor for detecting rainfall and a wind sensor for detecting wind speed.

The control unit determines the opening degree of the window frame based on the received wind speed of the rain sensor and wind, and when it is determined that rain is coming from the rain sensor, selects the opening degree of the window frame according to rainfall, for example When the rain falls strongly, only the minimum opening is performed, whereas when the rain falls weakly, only the opening within a predetermined range is performed.

For example, when 10 mm or more per hour is detected from the rain sensor, the control unit does not open the window frame even when the indoor environmental conditions are out of range.

On the other hand, if the rainfall is in the range of 5 to 10 mm per hour, the control unit opens the window frame to a minimum (for example, 1 cm to 2 cm) when the indoor environmental conditions are outside the range, and when the rainfall is 1 to 5 mm per hour It is configured to prevent the damage from rain by opening the window frame in the range of 2~5cm.

In addition, the control unit can automatically determine the opening degree of the window based on the wind speed value from the wind speed sensor in addition to the rain sensor. The control unit does not open the window when the wind speed is 14 m/s or more (strong wind warning) based on the detected value from the wind speed sensor.

In addition, the control unit opens the window frame to a minimum (for example, 1 cm to 2 cm) when the wind speed is in the range of 10 to 14 m/s or more and when the indoor environmental conditions are out of range, and the wind speed is 5 to 10 m/s. In the case of, it is configured to open the window frame in the range of 2 to 5 cm to prevent wind damage.

On the other hand, when the wind speed is between 0 and 5 m/s, the controller automatically determines the opening degree of the window frame within a range of 1/4 to full, for example, the closer the wind speed is to 0 (when there is no wind) ), the entire window frame is opened, and the closer the wind speed is to 5m/s, the closer the opening can be adjusted to 1/4.

In addition, the control unit always compares the outdoor wind speed and the indoor air volume, and when the filter member 20 is installed on the inner window, a notification recommending the user to replace the filter is provided when the air permeability decreases depending on the life and environment of the filter body 21 can do.

In addition, the user input unit may be set to proceed with opening and closing of the window frame to achieve the above-described target value only at the operating time input by the user, or further comprising an operating time setting to operate at any time 24 hours regardless of this You may.

13 is an embodiment showing a configuration in which the control unit 100 of the smart window system 1 as described above is connected to the home server 500 through a home network. The configuration of the control unit 100 in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5 is the same as the control unit 100 described with reference to FIG. 3, and instead, the communication unit 160 is connected to the home server 500 through a home network.

The home server 500 is interlocked with the control unit 100 and connected to the home server 500 through a network, such as air cleaners 610, boilers 620, air conditioners 320, and dehumidifiers 640, such as household devices 600 ).

As described above, the control unit 100 determines the opening degree and opening time of the window frame based on the outdoor environment conditions, the indoor environment conditions, and the target environment conditions to perform the opening and closing of the window frames for a specific time.

However, as described above, a problem arises that all indoor environmental conditions cannot be matched to all target environmental conditions as described above. For example, there are cases in which it is impossible for the control unit to improve the current indoor environmental conditions, that is, indoor temperature, indoor humidity, indoor fine dust concentration, indoor carbon dioxide concentration, etc., to all target environmental conditions using outdoor environmental conditions.

That is, as an example, the control unit can optimize the fine dust concentration and the carbon dioxide concentration in the indoor environment by opening the window frame, but it is impossible to optimize the indoor temperature and indoor humidity among the other indoor environment conditions through the opening of the window frame. If it is determined, the controller performs optimization by opening the window to improve the fine dust concentration and the carbon dioxide concentration. When the fine dust concentration and the carbon dioxide concentration are optimized within the targeted range, the window frame is closed and the room temperature and indoor humidity are optimized. In order to instruct the home server 500 to operate the boiler 620 or the air conditioner 630, which can control the temperature, and the dehumidifier 640, which can control the humidity.

When the home server 500 receives a command from the control unit 100, the temperature control device (boiler or air conditioner) and the dehumidifier 640 are operated, and the control unit 100 uses the indoor environment sensor to control the indoor temperature and humidity. Monitor continuously.

The control unit 100 performs monitoring of whether the indoor temperature and humidity are within the target range, and stops the operation of the temperature controller and the dehumidifier in the home server 500 when the indoor temperature and humidity is within the target range. Command.

When the home server 500 receives a stop command from the control unit 100, the operation of the corresponding home appliance is stopped, so that an optimized indoor environment condition can be achieved.

The method of improving the indoor environment conditions, the control unit preferentially sets environmental variables that can be achieved through ventilation, and then improves some elements of the indoor environment through opening the window frame, and then connected to the home server 500 Since the optimization or improvement of the rest of the indoor environment elements is performed through control of the home appliances, it is not necessary to operate unnecessary home appliances to improve the indoor environment, and thus an effect of preventing waste of power can be obtained. have.

In addition, in the present invention, the user may further include a function of designating a return time through the application. When the user designates the return time through the application, the control unit optimizes the indoor environment elements according to the return time.

For example, when the user sets 7 o'clock as the return time, the control unit performs ventilation through the smart window system at a preset time (for example, 1 hour or 30 minutes) before the return time, and the target environment set by the user By optimizing the indoor environment within the range, the user can experience an optimal indoor environment upon returning home.

14 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control unit in the embodiment shown in FIG. 13. As shown in FIG. 6, the controller first sets a target environment range from a user in step S110 and stores it in a memory.

In step S120, the control unit performs primary indoor monitoring. The primary indoor monitoring is performed by the indoor environment detection unit for indoor monitoring that always monitors the indoor environment, and the control unit determines whether the indoor environment detected in step S130 is within a preset target environment range value.

In step S130, if at least one of the indoor environment variables is outside the target range, the step proceeds to S140, otherwise it returns to step S120.

In step S140, an external environmental condition is called. For example, in FIG. 5, the control unit 100 calls external environmental data (external temperature, external humidity, external fine dust concentration, external carbon dioxide concentration, etc.) from an external environmental sensor among the sensor input units 110.

In step S150, the control unit determines whether the indoor environmental condition can be improved by the external environmental condition called in step S140. More specifically, is the indoor environmental condition converging to the target environmental condition by the external environmental condition? Is judged.

In this case, the control unit may determine whether to open or open the window frame when all conditions of the indoor environment can be improved (all modes) based on the operation mode set by the user input unit, or improve some conditions of the indoor environment If possible (priority mode), it may be possible to determine whether the window frame is opened.

If it is determined in step S150 that the external environment can improve the indoor environment conditions by opening the window frame, the control unit controls the opening degree of the window frame or the smart opening based on the four settings set by the user in the user input unit in step S160. In the case, the opening degree of the window frame is determined and the window frame is opened based on the wind speed or rain conditions of the external environment. However, if it is determined in step S150 that it is not, the step returns to S140.

The control unit continuously monitors the internal environmental conditions after the window frame is opened in the subsequent step S160 and determines whether the internal environmental conditions have been improved to the target environmental condition range in step S170. In this step, the internal environment conditions may be all or part of the internal environment elements set by the user through the user input unit.

If the environmental value of the targeted element among the internal environmental conditions in step S170 satisfies the target environmental range value, the step proceeds to S180, and in this step, the controller closes the open window frame and in step S190, the window frame is closed. Conduct secondary indoor environmental monitoring. This is because some of the internal environmental factors are improved through ventilation through opening of the window frame, but some environmental factors may not be improved. If there is no environment element that has not been improved, the step ends.

In step S200, the control unit may determine an environmental element outside the target environment range through the secondary indoor environment monitoring, and in step S210, the control unit in the home server connected to the home network, the home appliance capable of improving the unenhanced indoor environment elements Select to command the driving, and the home server drives the selected home appliance.

In the subsequent step S220, the controller proceeds to the third internal environment monitoring again to determine whether the internal environmental conditions are within the target environment range. Specifically, the controller determines whether the internal environmental conditions selected in step S200 satisfy the internal environmental range. Is done.

When the internal environment condition selected in step S220 satisfies the internal environment range, the control unit instructs the home server to stop the operation of the selected home appliance, and the home server stops the operation of the corresponding home appliance to terminate all processes. .

In the above-described embodiment, the indoor environment detection unit for detecting the internal environment is described as being installed on a window frame, but according to another embodiment of the present invention, the indoor environment detection unit is installed in an arbitrary space, such as a living room, kitchen, or room, not a window frame. Also, it is possible to perform communication with the control unit 100 through a home network.

In this case, as one or more indoor environment sensing units are installed in the indoor space rather than the window frame, an advantage that the indoor environment conditions can be more accurately sensed can be obtained.

In addition, when the indoor environment detection unit is installed in the indoor space, a change in the indoor temperature sensor and the indoor carbon dioxide concentration included in the indoor environment detection unit may be detected to provide a response to the fire.

In the case of a fire, the change in the indoor temperature and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the room increases rapidly, and the control unit responds to the sudden change in the indoor temperature and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the room to open the window frame by maximizing the opening degree of the window frame. At the same time, it is possible to generate a fire alarm in the user's application or to promptly notify 119 or a fire department of the possibility of a fire.

In the case of the smart window system of the present invention, it is possible to improve the air quality in the room by automatically performing ventilation in the room, and when the environmental conditions of the room change rapidly due to a fire, the window frame is opened up to 1 It is possible to prevent additional damage such as back draft (flame backflow) that may occur during fire extinguishing by ventilating air from the vehicle, and also inform users of this through an application so that it can be dealt with in advance. By notifying public agencies such as these, it can help in the initial suppression of fires.

According to the present invention, the control unit preferentially improves the indoor environment through ventilation, and then improves the remaining indoor environment elements through control of home appliances connected to the home server, thereby improving the indoor environment. In order to prevent unnecessary waste of electric appliances, it is possible to prevent unnecessary waste of power.
