Description

CURTAIN ALARM SYSTEM

Technical Field

The invention relates to a curtain alarm system which enables to warn the smart devices (mobile phone, tablet etc.) by exhibiting a capacitive change against any person who is coming from the outside by means of the curtain manufactured with the textile sensors and thus to eliminate the risk or robbery that would be committed through the windows.

State of the Art

Today, in the current applications; the movement of the roller blinds in the form of zebra roller blind, blackout, sun filtering screen, and self-cleaning curtains is enabled by means of two chains of these curtains. One of these chains enables the downward motion and the other one enables the upward motion of the curtain. When it is required to move the roller blinds with automation, then the motor system is activated. The control of the roller blinds with motor which are manufactured for this aim is enabled by means of a control or button. A plurality of curtain systems can be controlled by means of a single control or a button system. A command can be given for the movement direction of the curtain by means of the up/down arrows located on the control or buttons.

The basic aim of the curtain as a home textile product is to reduce the light that enters into the internal environment by blinding the sunlight. With this aim, the curtain is a textile surface which remains in front of the window. Although other functionalities may be added to this wide surface, no applications have been made before in terms of security system.

Home security system, in the current applications, is provided by means of mechanical alarm circuits or digital wireless alarm system which is mounted on the doors or windows. Thus, the assembly of the mechanical or digital wireless alarm systems requires modification processes in the houses. When a home security system is required to be maintained, this modification due to the assembly of the alarm system leads to noise, pollution and cost in the house.

In the application numbered EP1013873A2 which is encountered as a result of the technical researches, a curtain alarm system by means of sensors located longitudinally in the vertical direction is disclosed. However, here a system is not disclosed wherein a capacitive proximity sensor surface is obtained by forming textile sensor with the conductive yarns therein and it gives alarm with the detection of the textile sensors against burglary.

As a result, due to the abovementioned disadvantages and the insufficiency of the current solutions regarding the subject matter, a development is required to be made in the relevant technical field.

Aim of the Invention

The invention aims to provide a structure having different technical features which brings a new development in this field different from the embodiments used in the state of the art.

The main aim of the invention is to eliminate burglary realized through the windows, by means of the alarm system formed on the curtain.

An aim of the invention is to provide the activation of the alarm system by detecting the capacitance change of the sensor during contact with the curtain designed with the textile sensors.

Another aim of the invention is to make a textile sensor design that will produce data based on the capacitance change by using conductive materials on the fabric.

When this system is positioned on the window by means of creating a system that will detect the capacitance change with the conductive yarns on the curtain, it will serve as an alarm against burglary dangers which may come from outside. A capacitance change will occur on the curtain surface and a signal will be sent to the smart device (mobile phone, tablet etc.) when an external object approaches to the curtain. A security network is created on the windows without making any mechanical applications by means of the portable and flexible sensors. A security network will be created against the risk of burglary without requiring any modification by means of the curtain alarm system which is obtained as a result of converting the positioning of the curtains on the windows into an advantage.

The invention can be designed appropriately for all curtains manufactured natural and/or synthetic based in the form of zebra roller blind, blackout, transparent tulle, sunlight blinding screen, self-cleaning and dirt-free, easy to wash, motorized and manual. In order to fulfill the above mentioned aims, the invention is a curtain alarm system which provides warning to the smart devices against any person coming from outside and provides preventing burglary which is committed through the windows, characterized in that, it comprises the following;

• Textile sensor which consists of conductive yarns and is formed on the curtains, detects the movement of the curtain or the capacitance change during an approach to the curtain,

• Electronic circuit which detects the object/person that will approach to the curtain from outside against burglary case according to the capacitance change by means of the textile sensors on the curtain enables warning to the smart devices.

The structural and characteristic features of the present invention will be understood clearly by the following drawings and the detailed description made with reference to these drawings and therefore the evaluation shall be made by taking these figures and the detailed description into consideration.

Detailed Description of the Invention

In this detailed description, the preferred embodiments of the invention is described only for clarifying the subject matter in a manner such that no limiting effect is created.

The invention relates to a curtain alarm system which enables to warn the smart devices (mobile phone, tablet etc.) by exhibiting a capacitive change against any person who is coming from the outside by means of the curtain manufactured with the textile sensors (8) and thus to eliminate the risk or burglary that would be committed through the windows (9).

The curtain (7) is provided to stay rigid by means of the roller blind lath (1 ) positioned on the window (9), the movement of the same is provided by the motor (3). The roller blind pipe (2) which is the element that provides winding the curtain (7) up/down is located in the roller blind case (4). The motor (3) enables the movement of the curtain (7) with the command received from the smart devices without requirement of manual intervention.

The curtain/fabric (7) which is processed according to determined patterns of the conductive yarns (6) is made a curtain (7) which has textile sensor (8) exhibiting capacitive proximity sensor feature. Connection is maintained between the conductive yarns (6) and the electronic circuit (5) so as to give warning to the smart devices by means of generating signal on the curtain against the approach of an object from outside or contact. This system is activated over a threshold value which is determined according to the proximity movement modeling realized for the alarm mechanism. This warning will be transmitted from the electronic circuit (5) to the smart device and when the device detects the risk, it gives signal. The threshold value to which the warning is sent is detected over the proximity distances to the curtain in the case of burglary.

The alarm system which will both provide the movement of the curtain and the security of the house is controlled by the command given by the smart device (mobile phone, tablet etc.).
