Description

An apparatus and the method for control of window

The present invention relates to a window control device for controlling the opening and closing operation of the window, in particular, in addition to the control of the operating speed of the vehicle wiper according to the amount of water when opening the window, when the rain or water flows to the window of the vehicle or building, the window is automatically The present invention relates to a window control device and a method for preventing rainwater or water from entering the vehicle or building from outside.

As the owners of vehicles rapidly increase, the use of peripheral devices related to the safety system of the vehicle is rapidly increasing, and an automatic control device that can simultaneously provide safety management of the vehicle and user convenience is being studied.

As shown in FIG. 1, the wiper control apparatus according to the related art detects rainwater and generates and outputs quantity data according to the detection result, and the quantity data from the quantity detector 11. Wiper control unit 12 for receiving the wiper control unit 12 for controlling the operation speed of the wiper, and the wiper driving unit 14 to operate the wiper while the motor 13 for the wiper operation is driven according to the wiper operation speed determined by the wiper control unit 12 It consists of.

Operation of the wiper control device configured as described above is as follows.

The driver's vision is blurred by rainwater falling while the driver is driving, causing a safety accident. At the same time, the quantity detecting unit 11 detects the amount of rainwater flowing into the vehicle through the window, generates the quantity data accordingly, and transfers the quantity data to the wiper controller 12, and the quantity of the data from the wiper control unit 12. Accordingly, the operating speed of the wiper is determined and transmitted to the wiper motor 13.

At this time, the wiper driver 14 operates at a constant speed according to the wiper operation speed determined by the wiper controller 12 by the driving of the motor 13. Therefore, when the quantity data of the quantity detecting unit 11 changes according to the quantity of rain water flowing through the window of the vehicle, the wiper also operates at different speeds.

However, the quantity detecting unit 11 of the conventional wiper control device as described above only controls the operation of the wiper, when rainwater or water is not controlled to flow into other windows of the vehicle, so that rainwater or water flows into the vehicle. Due to the carelessness of the driver, there is a problem in that water is introduced into the open window to damage the inside of the vehicle.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, by automatically closing the window so that water does not flow into the window when the window is opened by the water quantity detection unit is installed in various windows rain or water of the vehicle or building The purpose is to reduce the degree of damage caused by rainwater or water by preventing inflow into the interior.

Window control apparatus according to the present invention for achieving the above object is installed in the window and detects the inflow of water or rain suddenly when opening the window and the quantity detection unit for generating the quantity data according to the detected result and delivering to the system; A window control unit for comparing the amount of water detected by the quantity detecting unit with a reference value determined by the system and determining a closing operation of the window according to the comparison result, and closing the window when the closing operation of the window is determined by the window control unit. It is characterized by consisting of a window drive.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, when water or rainwater generated suddenly flows into a window of an open vehicle or building, water quantity detection unit 21 detects this and generates quantity data and transmits the quantity data to the system. And, the window control unit 22 for determining the closing operation of the window by receiving the quantity data generated according to the quantity of water or rain water from the quantity detecting unit 21, and the closing operation of the window in the window control unit 22 If so, it consists of a window driver 24 which drives the motor 23 to close the window.

The operation of the window control apparatus according to the present invention configured as described above is as follows. When rainwater or water flows from the outside of the window of the vehicle, the quantity detecting unit 21 detects the amount of rainwater or water and generates quantity data according to the detection result and transmits the quantity data to the window control unit 22. The window control unit 22 receiving the quantity data of the quantity detecting unit 21 determines whether the window is closed by comparing with a predetermined reference value in the system. At this time, as the window closing operation is determined by the window control unit 22, the window driver 24 closes the window by driving the motor 23.

Although the above description is limited to a vehicle, the present invention can be applied to windows of general homes, apartments or various buildings.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a window control method according to the present invention.

In the window control method of the present invention, in the first step (S1), water is introduced into the window of the vehicle or building during rain or car wash. In this case, in the second step S2, when rainwater or water flows into the window, the quantity detecting unit 21 detects the quantity of water flowing through the window and generates and outputs quantity data. Next, in the third step S3, it is determined whether the window to which the quantity detecting unit 21 is attached is closed.

If the result of the determination in the third step S3 is YES, since the window is closed, there is no fear of rain or water flowing into the window, so the process is terminated immediately. If the determination result is no, in the fourth step S4, the window control unit 22 receives the quantity data and compares the quantity data with a reference value already set in the system to determine whether the quantity data is greater than or equal to the reference value.

At this time, if the quantity data of the fourth step (S4) is 'No' that does not reach the reference value, the quantity data of the quantity detector 21 continues to detect the quantity data until the quantity data exceeds the reference value. Determine if is above the standard value. On the other hand, if the quantity data is more than the reference value 'yes', the fifth step (S5) is to transmit the window closing command. Accordingly, in the sixth step S6, the window is closed so that water does not flow from the outside by the window closing command of the fifth step S5.

The window control device according to the present invention configured and operated as described above is provided with a water quantity detection unit in various windows to close the window so that rainwater or water does not flow into the open window, the sudden water in the place where the automatic car wash facility is located. Rain or rainwater can quickly cope with the inflow of water into the vehicle, there is an advantage that can prevent the loss of furniture and appliances due to the sudden inflow of rainwater into the building.
