Description

IOT-based smart window system {IOT Smart Window System}

The present invention relates to a smart window system that can automatically open and close. More specifically, it automatically controls windows according to the indoor or outdoor environment of the building structure to ensure insulation performance, minimize the energy consumption of the building structure, and actively protect against external intrusion. It is about an IOT-based smart window system that can meet the needs of safety and environmental optimization and energy-independent buildings.

In general, a zero-energy building refers to a green building that minimizes the energy load required for the building and minimizes energy consumption by utilizing new and renewable energy.

In 2021, 'Zero Energy Building ^* Certification' is mandatory for public buildings with a total floor area of 1,000 ㎡ or more. In 2025, private buildings with a total floor area of 1,000 ㎡ or more and apartment complexes with more than 30 households are scheduled to be included in the zero energy building target, and public buildings have a total floor area of 500 ㎡ or more. The scope of the target will expand beyond ㎡, and by 2030, zero energy construction is required for buildings with a total floor area of 500 ㎡ or more, regardless of whether they are private or public.

The above-mentioned zero energy building refers to an energy-independent building that combines the architectural Passive House system and the mechanical Active House system. In order to innovatively improve carbon reduction and energy saving, passive and active buildings are used. There is a demand for technological development of a convergence system that combines technological elements.

In addition, the passive system is a technology that maximizes the energy performance of buildings by reducing the building energy requirements as much as possible by reinforcing the insulation of walls and roofs and the airtightness of windows, etc., while the active system uses high-efficiency equipment related to the heating and cooling system to maximize the building's energy performance. It is a technology that minimizes the required amount and supplies additional heat or electrical energy through new and renewable energy such as solar power generation, solar hot water heating, geothermal heating and cooling, and fuel cells.

Typically, windows are constructed so that the slide window slides along a rail, and is a non-sliding window structure in which the window is placed on the rail of the window frame and slides, so gaps are always formed at the top and bottom of the window.

Conventional non-closed windows allow cold or hot air to flow in from the outside through the gap between the upper and lower ends of the window frame and the pair of left and right window frames when the window is closed, not only wasting energy but also causing damage to the outside. There is a problem that foreign substances such as snow, rain, dust, insects, and noise enter the room without filtration. In order to solve this problem, ordinary homes attach windshields, weather strips, or air caps to the gaps in window devices as a temporary measure, but there is a problem that not only is it not as effective as expected, but it is also not good for aesthetics.

Previously, an energy-independent smart window device using nano-independent ESS was proposed under Korea Patent Registration No. 10-2377890.

This means that an electrochromic film is formed on the windows and provides thermal insulation performance by receiving power from a translucent thin-film solar cell installed integrally in the building, and a nano-independent ESS is installed inside the window frame to generate the translucent thin-film solar cell. It is a window system that enables energy independence by storing power generated from batteries.

In addition, smart windows have been proposed in Korea Patent Registration No. 10-1807688.

This is a smart window consisting of a window installed to be movable along the window frame, a two-way driving unit provided to move the window, a sensor installed on the window frame to detect indoor humidity, and a control unit to control the two-way driving unit. wherein the two-way drive unit includes a pair of rollers rotatably installed on a shaft fixed to the window, a drum disposed between the pair of rollers and rotatably installed on the shaft, and the window. A first motor unit and a second motor unit that generate a driving force in the closing direction, a first pulley and a second pulley connected to the output shafts of the first and second motor units and rotating, and one end of the first pulley and the second motor unit. It is composed of a first wire and a second wire wound around two pulleys, the other ends of which are wound around the drum, respectively, and the drum is designed to move in a straight line along the direction in which the window is opened or closed.

However, in the above case, the existing insulated non-sealing window has an insulating structure without including an opening and closing driving part, and the developed product is designed to block energy loss and facilitate the assembly process when applying a driving part for opening and closing the non-sealing window. There were inconveniences such as having to design the internal structure of the window frame.

The background or prior art described above is information possessed by the present inventor or acquired in the process of deriving the present invention, and is only intended to help understand the technical significance of the present invention, and is information to which this invention belongs before filing the application for the present invention. It should be noted that this does not mean that it is a widely known technology in the field.
