Description

Automatic Window Opening and Closing Device and Method for Vehicle The present invention relates to an automatic window opening and closing device and an automatic opening and closing method for a vehicle, which can automatically open and close a window when the internal temperature of a parked vehicle deviates from a reference value. Generally, during seasons with intense sunlight, such as summer, the temperature inside a parked vehicle can rise rapidly. In such conditions, there is a risk of safety accidents if infants or pets are left unattended inside the vehicle due to driver error or negligence. Accordingly, there is a need for a means to measure the temperature inside a parked vehicle in real time and to take action when the measured temperature exceeds a standard limit. FIG. 1 is a schematic overall configuration diagram of an automatic window opening and closing device for a vehicle according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a vehicle equipped with an automatic window opening and closing device according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is a drawing showing an embodiment in which a measuring unit according to the present invention is installed inside a vehicle. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the automatic opening and closing process using the automatic window opening and closing device according to the present invention. The configuration and operation of a specific embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings. Here, it should be noted that when assigning reference numerals to the components of each drawing, identical components are denoted by the same numeral whenever possible, even if they are shown on different drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic overall configuration diagram of an automatic window opening and closing device for a vehicle according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a vehicle to which the automatic window opening and closing device according to the present invention is applied. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a vehicle window automatic opening and closing device (100) according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention may include a measuring unit (110), a driving unit (120), and a control unit (130). The configuration of the present invention is described in detail as follows. First, the above-mentioned measuring unit (110) may be equipped with a measuring sensor (111) capable of measuring at least one of the information including temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, etc. inside the vehicle (1). In this case, the above measuring unit (110) can focus on measuring the temperature inside the vehicle (1) that can have the greatest impact on the life of the occupant. In addition, the above-mentioned measuring unit (110) may be equipped with a motion detection sensor (113) capable of detecting whether there is a passenger, such as an infant or a pet, inside the vehicle. Since the motion detection sensor (113) may use a known sensor, the operating principle is not described in detail. In addition, the above measuring unit (110) may be equipped with a camera (115) that captures in real time whether there is an infant or a pet inside the vehicle and reads the image. In this case, the motion detection sensor (113) and the camera (115) may each operate separately, but the camera (115) may be configured to operate sequentially in conjunction with the motion detection sensor (113) when it is necessary to definitively determine whether the object first detected by the motion detection sensor (113) is an infant or a pet. Additionally, the measuring unit (110) may be equipped with an opening/closing detection sensor (117) that checks whether the window (3) is open or closed and detects the degree of opening/closing of the window. That is, through the opening/closing detection sensor (117), the opening/closing status or degree of opening/closing of the window (3) can be checked first, and the extent to which the window (3) should be opened can be determined. Multiple sensors may be installed along the direction in which the window (3) is opened, and accordingly, the opening/closing status of the window (3) and the location of opening can be identified. A measuring unit (110) with such a configuration can be installed near a rearview mirror (5) where the temperature and humidity inside the vehicle (1) or the occupants inside can be easily checked, as shown in FIG. 3. Of course, it is not limited to this, and can be modified to be installed at multiple points as long as various information inside the vehicle (1) can be easily obtained. The above-mentioned drive unit (120) opens and closes the windows of a vehicle, and such a drive unit (120) can utilize the configuration of actuators such as motors and other auxiliary materials applied to a conventional vehicle. Such a drive unit (120) can be configured to be openable and closed by a control unit (130) to be des
