Description

Smart Automatic Window Opening Device The present invention relates to a smart automatic window sash opening and closing device, and more specifically, to a smart automatic window sash opening and closing device capable of remotely controlling a window sash installed in a window frame of a building structure and monitoring the opening and closing status of the window sash in real time. Traditionally, the opening and closing of windows and doors were mostly performed manually by humans; however, with the recent advancements in indoor environment control and smart home systems, window opening and closing devices capable of remotely opening and closing windows or automatically controlling them based on external weather conditions and indoor air quality are being developed and commercialized. Early electric windows were designed to control the drive motor via wires and a remote control, allowing the window to open and close when a user pressed a button. However, this method had disadvantages, such as requiring complex wiring work during installation, being difficult to install in locations with poor power supply, and lacking additional monitoring functions. Smart windows, such as Korean Registered Patent No. 10-2292149 (Registration Date: August 17, 2021), which appeared later, can be controlled wirelessly using IoT technology and have evolved to be able to automatically open and close by measuring indoor and outdoor temperature, humidity, and air quality through sensors, in addition to remote control. These prior art technologies provide functions such as controlling ventilation conditions or managing the inflow of sunlight, such as automatically closing windows to maintain indoor temperature when the temperature of a specific space drops below a certain standard, or automatically opening windows to help with ventilation when the indoor carbon dioxide concentration rises. However, the aforementioned smart window system is difficult for general consumers to easily adopt due to the complex installation process and high maintenance costs; battery management is cumbersome due to high battery consumption resulting from the addition of various sensors and control functions; it lacks the capability to respond to emergencies such as fire or toxic gas detection; and there are issues where users find it difficult to accurately assess the window status due to the lack of visual feedback features that allow real-time verification of the window's current state (open/closed status and position). FIG. 1 is a drawing showing the state in which a smart automatic window sash opening and closing device according to the present invention is installed on a window frame and a window. FIG. 2 is an exploded view of a smart automatic window sash opening and closing device according to the present invention as illustrated in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a block diagram schematically illustrating the connection relationships between the components of a smart automatic window sash opening and closing device according to the present invention. FIG. 4 is an operating state diagram for explaining the state in which the operating part and the driving part of the present invention open and close the window sash. FIG. 5 is an operational state diagram for explaining the operation of the fire detection unit and the distance measuring unit of the present invention. This achievement is the result of research conducted with funding from the government (Ministry of Education) and supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea's Phase 3 Leading University Industry-Academic Cooperation Project (LINC 3.0). Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. However, in describing the present invention, descriptions of already known functions or configurations will be omitted in order to clarify the gist of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a drawing showing the state in which a smart automatic window sash opening and closing device according to the present invention is installed on a window frame and a window door; FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the smart automatic window sash opening and closing device according to the present invention shown in FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a block diagram schematically showing the connection relationship between the components of the smart automatic window sash opening and closing device according to the present invention; FIG. 4 is an operating state diagram for explaining the state in which the operating part and the driving part of the present invention open and close the window sash; and FIG. 5 is an operating state diagram for explaining the operation of the fire detection part and the distance measuring part of the present invention.
