Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electric window technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for self-identifying the window type of an electric window. Background Technology

[0002] An electric window is a device used to control the opening and closing of windows in a building. Compared to traditional manual windows, electric windows use an electric motor and control system to automate the opening and closing process. Users can conveniently control the raising and lowering of the window by pressing a switch button or using a remote control.

[0003] In operation, a control box is typically used to control one window, and each control box is pre-programmed with parameters matching the corresponding window type. Professionals at the installation site will connect the control box to each window and perform debugging and setup. This includes setting appropriate parameters according to the window type and configuration to ensure the safe and normal operation of the motorized windows.

[0004] If no professional personnel are present at the installation site to perform debugging and setup, the motorized window may not function properly. Since each window type and configuration may differ, the control box needs to be configured accordingly based on the specific circumstances.

[0005] Because the installation and debugging process requires setting and adjusting each window individually, the installation time can be quite long. This results in very low efficiency in the installation and debugging of motorized windows. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Based on this, it is necessary to propose a method and device for self-identification of electric window type to address the above problems, so as to solve the problem that electric windows require professional personnel to debug for a long time during the installation process, resulting in low installation and debugging efficiency.

[0007] A method for self-identifying the type of an electric window, applied to a multi-window identification system, the method comprising:

[0008] Receive debugging commands;

[0009] Generate a command to rotate the rocker arm motor and send it to the rocker arm motor;

[0010] Determine whether the rocker arm motor has reached the first state. If it has, generate the first motion command for the locking motor and send it to the locking motor.

[0011] Detect whether the locking motor is stalled;

[0012] If blocking occurs, the window type is determined to be the first window type;

[0013] If there is no stall, a second motion command is generated for the rocker arm motor and sent to the rocker arm motor.

[0014] Check if the rocker arm motor is stalled. If it is stalled, determine that the window type is the second window type.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of detecting whether the rocker arm motor is stalled, and if stalling is detected, determining that the window type is the second window type, further includes:

[0016] If there is no stall, the first magnetic flux of the Hall sensor is detected to be within the first magnetic flux threshold range. If it is not within the first magnetic flux threshold range, the window type is determined to be the third window type.

If it is within the second magnetic flux threshold range, it is determined that the first state has been reached, a first motion command for the locking motor is generated, and sent to the locking motor.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of detecting whether there is stalling during the first preset time period when the rocker arm motor executes the rotation command further includes:

[0024] If the second magnetic flux is not within the second magnetic flux threshold range, it is determined that the first state has not been reached. The system then checks whether the rocker arm motor is rotating in the forward direction. If it is rotating in the forward direction, a reverse rotation command is generated and sent to the rocker arm motor.

[0025] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of determining that the first state has not been reached if the second magnetic flux is not within the second magnetic flux threshold range, detecting whether the rocker arm motor is rotating in the forward direction, and generating a reverse rotation command to the rocker arm motor if it is rotating in the forward direction, further includes:

[0026] If the rotation is not in the forward direction, a stop rotation command is generated and sent to the rocker arm motor;

[0027] Generate a learning failure instruction and send it to the terminal device.

[0051] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] This invention provides a self-identification method for motorized multi-window type windows, the method comprising:

[0053] S101, Receive debugging instructions;

[0054] S102. Generate a command to rotate the rocker arm motor and send it to the rocker arm motor;

[0055] S103. Determine whether the rocker arm motor has reached the first state.

[0056] S104. If the first state is reached, a first motion command for the locking motor is generated and sent to the locking motor.

[0057] S105. Detect whether the locking motor is stalled;

[0058] S106. If there is a blocking situation, the window type is determined to be the first window type.

[0059] S107. If there is no stall, generate a second motion command for the rocker arm motor and send it to the rocker arm motor.

[0060] S108. Check if the rocker arm motor is stalled.

[0061] S109. If there is a blocking situation, the window type is determined to be the second window type.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the system receives debugging instructions from the system or the user to trigger the window type self-recognition process.

[0063] The system generates a rotation command for the rocker arm motor to control its rotation and sends the command to the motor. The rocker arm motor is responsible for moving the window sash relative to the window frame.

[0064] The system determines whether the first state has been reached by monitoring the status of the rocker arm motor. The first state is a specific position or state of the window, used to determine the window type.

[0065] If the rocker arm motor reaches the first state, the system will generate the first motion command for the locking motor and send it to the locking motor. The locking motor is responsible for the locking and closing operation of the window.

[0066] The system detects whether the locking motor is stalled. Stalling refers to a situation where the locking motor cannot move normally for some reason, such as reaching the locked position.

[0067] If the locking motor is stalled, the system will determine the window type to be the first window type and record the first window type information in the system.

[0068] If the locking motor is not stalled, the system will generate a second motion command and send it to the rocker arm motor. By changing the motion mode of the rocker arm motor, the window type can be further identified.

[0069] The system detects whether the rocker arm motor is stalled in order to determine the window type as the second window type.

[0070] It monitors and controls the movement of the rocker arm motor and locking point motor, and detects any stalling. Based on the specific movement characteristics of different window types, it can accurately identify the window type and automatically recognize the type of motorized window without requiring professional adjustments.

[0071] Among them, the blocking function is used to detect whether the window has reached a preset position, such as whether it has reached the closed position.

[0072] The rocker arm motor rotation command is a command to control the rocker arm motor to rotate so that the rocker arm motor drives the window sash to move relative to the window frame. In other words, it is a command to drive the rocker arm motor to execute one of the opening and closing modes, such as the opening and closing mode of a casement window.

[0073] The first motion command is to drive the locking point motor to rotate. Under the rotation of the locking point motor, the window sash and window frame are locked together. If there is a stall, it means that the window can be locked. If there is no stall, it means that the window cannot be locked at this position. Then the window type can be further determined.

[0074] The first type of window is a casement window.

[0075] The second motion command is a command to drive the rocker arm motor to execute another opening and closing method, such as the method of opening a window.

[0076] The second type of window is a suspended outward-opening window.

[0077] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of detecting whether the rocker arm motor is stalled, and if stalling is detected, determining that the window type is the second window type, further includes:

[0078] S201. If there is no stall, then detect whether the first magnetic flux of the Hall sensor is within the first magnetic flux threshold range.

[0079] S202. If it is not within the range of the first magnetic flux threshold, then the window type is determined to be the third window type.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the system detects whether the magnetic flux value sensed by the Hall sensor is within a first magnetic flux threshold range. The first magnetic flux threshold is a range set based on the characteristics of the first window type.

[0081] If the magnetic flux value sensed by the Hall sensor is not within the first magnetic flux threshold range, the system will determine the window type to be the third window type.

[0082] The Hall effect sensor is installed on the window sash, and the magnetic component is installed on the window frame. If the detected magnetic flux value is not within the first magnetic flux threshold range, the system will determine that the window type is the third type, which is an inward-opening and tilt-and-turn window.

[0083] By detecting and comparing the magnetic flux value of the Hall effect sensor, the system can further identify the window type and determine whether it is the primary window type. The principle here relies on the Hall effect sensor's ability to sense magnetic fields. By judging whether the magnetic flux is within a preset threshold range, it determines whether the window type is the primary window type. Different window types may cause variations in magnetic flux values; therefore, by comparing the magnetic flux value with the threshold range, the window type can be accurately identified.

[0084] In one embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes:

[0085] S101, Receive debugging instructions;

[0086] S301. Generate a second motion command for the locking motor according to the debugging command, and send it to the locking motor;

[0087] S302. Check if the locking motor has finished moving.

[0088] S303. If the motion ends, a command to rotate the rocker arm motor is generated and sent to the rocker arm motor.

[0089] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of determining whether the rocker arm motor has reached a first state, and if it has reached the first state, generating a first motion command for the locking point motor and sending it to the locking point motor includes:

[0090] S304. Detect whether the rocker arm motor stalls during the first preset time period while executing the rotation command;

[0091] S305. If a stall occurs within the first preset time period, detect whether the second magnetic flux of the Hall sensor is within the second magnetic flux threshold range.

[0092] If S306 is within the range of the second magnetic flux threshold, it is determined that the first state has been reached, and a first motion command for the locking motor is generated and sent to the locking motor.

[0093] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of detecting whether there is stalling during the first preset time period when the rocker arm motor executes the rotation command further includes:

[0094] S307. If there is no stall within the first preset time, a first timeout stop command is generated and sent to the rocker arm motor.

[0095] S308. Generate a learning failure instruction and send it to the terminal device.

[0096] In one embodiment of the present invention, if a stall occurs within a first preset time period, the step of detecting whether the second magnetic flux of the Hall sensing element is within the range of the second magnetic flux threshold further includes:

[0097] S309. If the second magnetic flux is not within the second magnetic flux threshold range, it is determined that the first state has not been reached, and the rocker arm motor is checked to see if it is rotating in the forward direction.

[0098] S310. If rotating in the forward direction, a reverse rotation command is generated and sent to the rocker arm motor.

[0099] In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of determining that the first state has not been reached if the second magnetic flux is not within the second magnetic flux threshold range, detecting whether the rocker arm motor is rotating in the forward direction, and generating a reverse rotation command to the rocker arm motor if it is rotating in the forward direction, further includes:

[0100] S311. If the rotation is not in the forward direction, a stop rotation command is generated and sent to the rocker arm motor.

[0101] S312. Generate a learning failure instruction and send it to the terminal device.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the system receives debugging instructions from an external source to trigger the execution of the self-identification method.

[0103] Based on the received debugging instructions, the system generates the corresponding second motion instruction for the locking motor and sends the instruction to the locking motor.

[0104] After executing the second motion command of the locking motor, the system will detect the motion status of the locking motor to determine whether the locking motor has completed the required motion.

[0105] If the locking motor has completed its movement, the system will generate a corresponding rotation command for the rocker arm motor and send this command to the rocker arm motor. This command will cause the rocker arm motor to start rotating.

[0106] During the execution of rotation commands by the rocker arm motor, the system will detect whether the rocker arm motor stalls within a first preset time, that is, determine whether the rocker arm motor is obstructed or unable to operate normally during rotation.

[0107] If the rocker arm motor stalls within the first preset time, the system will further detect whether the second magnetic flux value of the Hall sensor is within the second magnetic flux threshold range. The second magnetic flux threshold range is set according to the characteristics of the window type.

[0108] If the second magnetic flux value is within the second magnetic flux threshold range, the system determines that the rocker arm motor has reached the first state. At this time, the system generates a corresponding first motion command for the locking motor and sends the command to the locking motor to complete the specific motion requirements in the window recognition process.

[0109] If the second magnetic flux value is not within the second magnetic flux threshold range, the system will determine that the rocker arm motor has not yet reached the first state, i.e., the window recognition is not complete. In this case, the system will further detect whether the rocker arm motor is rotating in the forward direction.

[0110] If the rocker arm motor is rotating in the forward direction, the system will generate a corresponding reverse rotation command and send the command to the rocker arm motor to adjust the motor's rotation direction.

[0111] If the rocker arm motor is not rotating in the forward direction, the system will generate a corresponding stop rotation command and send the command to the rocker arm motor to stop the motor's rotation.

[0112] By receiving debugging commands, the system generates commands and performs motion detection on the rocker arm motor and locking point motor. Combined with magnetic flux detection using Hall effect sensors, it achieves self-identification of the window type. By determining whether the motor motion state and magnetic flux value meet specific conditions, the window type's state can be determined more accurately, and corresponding control commands can be generated and executed. In this way, the system can more accurately identify the window type and perform appropriate processing based on different motion states and magnetic flux information.

[0113] Among them, the second motion command of the locking motor is the command for the locking motor to perform the opening motion.

[0114] The first timeout stop command is triggered when the preset time has elapsed, causing the rocker arm motor to stop.

[0115] The system generates commands and performs motion detection on the rocker arm motor and locking point motor, combined with magnetic flux detection using Hall effect sensors, to achieve self-identification of window types. By determining whether the motor motion state and magnetic flux value meet specific conditions, the window type's state can be determined, and corresponding control commands can be generated and executed. In this way, the system can accurately identify the window type and perform appropriate processing based on different motion states and magnetic flux information.

[0116] An electrically operated multi-window self-identification device, applied to the electrically operated multi-window self-identification method as described in any one of the preceding claims, the device comprising:

[0117] The rocker arm motor 110 has one end mounted on the window frame 100 and the other end mounted on the window sash 101, and is used to drive the window sash 101 to move relative to the window frame 100.

[0118] A locking motor is installed on the window sash 101;

[0119] The window frame 100 is provided with a locking groove for locking with the locking point motor;

[0120] A Hall effect sensor is installed on the window sash 101;

[0121] A magnetic component 120 is disposed on the window frame 100.

[0122] In one embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes:

[0123] A magnetic screw 130 is provided on the window sash 101, and the magnetic screw 130 can guide the magnetism on the magnetic component 120 to the Hall sensing element.

[0124] In one embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes:

[0125] A handle is provided on the window sash 101. The handle is connected to the locking point motor, and the locking point motor can drive the handle to rotate.

[0126] Please refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, one end of the rocker arm motor 110 is disposed on the window frame 100, and the other end is disposed on the window sash 101, for driving the window sash 101 to move relative to the window frame 100. The rocker arm motor 110 provides the opening and closing functions of the window sash 101 by rotating or moving.

[0127] The locking motor is located on the window sash 101, while the lock slot is located on the window frame 100. The locking motor can lock into the lock slot to ensure that the window sash 101 remains fixed when closed. The locking and unlocking of the window sash 101 can be achieved by controlling the movement of the locking motor.

[0128] A Hall effect sensor is provided on the window sash 101, while a magnetic component 120 is provided on the window frame 100. A magnetic screw 130 is located on the window sash 101, and its function is to guide the magnetic force on the magnetic component 120 to the Hall effect sensor. In this way, when the position of the window sash 101 changes, the magnetic force of the magnetic component 120 also changes, thereby causing a change in the Hall effect sensor.

[0129] The window sash 101 is equipped with a handle, which is connected to a locking motor. Through this connection, the locking motor drives the handle to rotate. Thus, when the locking motor executes a corresponding motion command, the handle rotates accordingly, thereby enabling the opening and closing of the window sash 101.

[0130] The opening and closing of the window can be achieved. The rocker arm motor 110 controls the movement of the window sash 101, allowing the window to open or close relative to the window frame 100. The locking point motor controls the engagement state of the locking point and the locking groove, ensuring that the window sash 101 is fixed to the window frame 100 when closed. Simultaneously, through the cooperation of the Hall effect sensor and the magnetic component 120, the position of the window sash 101 can be detected and monitored, thereby enabling the identification and control of the window's status.

[0131] The system achieves automatic window control and recognition functions. Through an electric multi-window self-recognition method, the system can determine the window status and type, and execute corresponding action commands as needed, thereby realizing automated window operation and control.

[0132] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0133] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims. Please enter the specific implementation details.
