Description

{Pair Glass Window system with heating and cooling air curtain function with cooling / heating air curtain function}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fair glass window system having a cooling / heating air curtain function, and more particularly, to a window glass system having a cooling / heating air curtain function, To a pair of window glass systems having an air-conditioning and air-curtain function capable of cooling and heating.

Generally, in a residential and office space such as a house, an apartment, an office, and the like, an opaque partition wall such as concrete, block, panel, and wood is usually installed.

The reason for installing glass windows in residential and office spaces is that the user can view the outside scenery when needed while securing natural light.

However, when cooling or heating indoors in summer and winter, there is a loss of cooling or heating energy easily escaping through a window.

On the other hand, the solar heat in summer and the cold outside in winter can easily enter from outside to inside through glass windows, which ultimately contributes to deteriorating energy efficiency of the whole heating and cooling system.

Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2014-0052538 discloses a method of injecting a fluid into a space formed through two sheets of glass plates and heating or cooling the fluid using a thermoelectric element to reduce the amount of thermal energy exiting through the window, A window system having a fluid heating and cooling method using a thermoelectric element capable of effectively preventing a fluid is disclosed. However, in order to circulate the fluid introduced between two glass plates or to supplement the fluid when the fluid is insufficient, It is required to increase the manufacturing cost and increase the cost of the entire construction.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1030930 discloses a window air-conditioning automatic control air curtain ventilation system that automatically provides an air curtain by selectively providing cold or hot air to the inside of a window. However, Air supply unit that supplies the air-mixing unit and mixed air that has been heated or cooled to the vicinity of the window is separately required. In addition, since the hot air ascends from the lower part to the upper part, There is a limitation in implementing the entirely optimized cold function.

Korean Patent Laid-open Publication No. 10-2011-0106209 (a window using a thermoelectric element and a solar cell) and Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2011-0084484 (a solar power generation window system that performs a cooling and heating and air conditioning function of a building) Or sunlight to realize a cooling and heating function of a window glass has been proposed as a prior art. However, since it can not be practically implemented or the cost of parts and installation is too high, There was a limit in applying to the frame.

Here, the window frame 100 can be manufactured using a general window frame material such as aluminum or wood, and the shape of the window frame 100 can be equally applied to any shape including a rectangular shape. Particularly, a general window frame can be applied not only to a structure in which one or more window frames extend vertically, horizontally, or even to a single structure, but also to a case in which a door partially openable and closable is installed inside the window frame.

In the preferred embodiment of the present invention described above, a microprocessor 500 and a temperature sensor 600, a cold generating and electricity generating means 200 or a heat generating means 300 It is preferable that the inner surface of the outer glass 90a provided on the window frame 100 or the silicon adhesive surface on the outer surface of the inner glass 90b, As shown in FIG.

The operation of the pair glass window system having the cooling / heating air curtain function according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The microprocessor 500 may be operated by a user with a manual glass operation or a fair glass window system having a cooling / heating air curtain function by a user's preset automatic operation.

When a fair glass window system having the cooling / heating air curtain function is manually operated, a user or a technician can directly issue a control command to the microprocessor 500 to perform a cooling operation or a heating operation regardless of the current temperature It is. These tanks will be mainly used for checking to see if there is something wrong with a small product.

On the other hand, when the pair glass window system having the cooling / heating air curtain function is automatically operated, the user can set the preset temperature, the cold air temperature, the electricity generation unit 200 or the plurality of temperature sensors And compares the sensed temperatures detected by the air conditioner 600 with each other and automatically performs the air curtain function for cooling or heating according to the comparison value.

First, the cooling mode operation of the pair glass window system having the cooling / heating air curtain function will be described as follows.

The temperature sensor 600 installed in the external heat sink 210 and the internal heat sink 230 senses the current temperature and transmits the sensed temperature to the microprocessor 500 for example.

The microprocessor 500 determines that the current state is a state requiring cooling when the sensed temperature is higher than the preset temperature by comparing the preset cooling mode set temperature by the user (for example, image 25 degrees) To the thermoelectric element 220 provided in the electricity generating means 200. The DC power is supplied to the thermoelectric element 220 provided in the electricity generating means 200.

At this time, the reaction surface 224 of the thermoelectric element 220 performs an endothermic operation in accordance with the direction of the applied direct current, and the microprocessor 500 is set to a temperature set by the user (for example, image 25 degrees) So that the heat absorption operation is continued at the reaction surface 224 of the thermoelectric element 220.

The cool air generated from the inner upper surface of the window frame 100 is continuously and continuously downward along the closed space S formed between the outer glass 90a and the inner glass 90b along the through- So as to perform a cold air curtain function, as shown in FIG.

When a plurality of thermoelectric elements 220a, 220b and 220c are provided in the cold air generating and electricity generating means 200, the microprocessor 500 controls the temperature of the thermoelectric elements 220b, It is possible to control the generation of electrical energy using the temperature difference between the air in the closed space S formed between the outer glass 90a and the inner glass 90b, (420). That is, the air in the closed space S formed between the outer glass 90a and the inner glass 90b in which the radiator is operated is getting colder. On the other hand, since the outside air is in summer, And the specific thermoelectric element 220 can generate electrical energy by the temperature difference and the battery 420 of the power supply unit 400 is made of the solar cell 410 made of the solar cell 410 Electricity and electricity generated by some thermoelectric elements can be stored separately.

Next, the heating mode operation of the pair glass window system having the cooling / heating air curtain function will be described as follows.

The temperature sensor 600 installed in the external heat sink 210 and the internal heat sink 230 senses the current temperature and transmits the sensed temperature to the microprocessor 500 for example.

The microprocessor 500 judges that the current situation is a situation requiring heating when the sensed temperature is higher than the set temperature by comparing the preset cooling mode set temperature (for example, image 15 degrees) by the user, The DC power stored in the battery 420 is applied to the electrode of the heat generating means 200 such as the exothermic carbon layer or the exothermic carbon rod.

At this time, the exothermic carbon layer or the exothermic carbon rod performs the exothermic operation of dissipating heat by its own resistance, and the microprocessor 500 continues the exothermic operation until the temperature is set by the user (for example, image 15 degrees) Respectively.

The heat generated from the inner bottom surface of the window frame 100 is continuously diffused in the upward direction along the closed space S formed between the outer glass 90a and the inner glass 90b such as a glass window As a result, as shown in Fig. 1, it performs a warm air curtain function.

At this time, the cold generating and electricity generating means 200 can generate electric energy using the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor while generating heat by the heat generating means 300. The generated electric energy is supplied to the power supply unit 400 The battery 420 is charged. That is, when the heat generating means 300 is operated, the air in the closed space S formed between the outer glass 90a and the inner glass 90b becomes very hot, while the outside air is winter, A large temperature difference may occur between the outer surface and the inner surface of the outer glass 90a and the thermoelectric element 220 can generate electrical energy by the temperature difference. The electricity generated in the solar cell 410 and the electricity generated in the thermoelectric element 220 can be stored.

According to the present invention described above, the cooling / heating efficiency of a room in which a cooling or heating device is installed can be remarkably improved, thereby minimizing cooling / heating energy consumption and maximizing cooling / heating efficiency.

In addition, the electric energy that performs the air curtain function for cooling and heating can be produced in a natural way, so that no consideration of the electric charge is required.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, It should be understood that various changes and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art.
