Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of dimming glass, and in particular to glass control devices, methods, and systems. Background Art

[0002] Smart glass dynamically switches between transparent and fogged states by controlling the power on and off of the laminated liquid crystal film. However, current smart glass on-off control and door position detection functions are independent of each other in shower door products. For example, a Hall effect sensor must first detect the door position, then transmit the signal to the control board to drive a relay to adjust the power supply to the smart glass.

[0003] However, due to the inconsistent magnetic field strength between the Hall effect sensor's trigger point and release point, the door's arrival / exit action and the dimming glass's state switching are not completely synchronized. For example, the door may have physically left the closed position, but the magnetic field strength has not yet dropped to the release point. Therefore, the Hall effect sensor remains in the active state, causing the dimming glass to switch state for several seconds, affecting the user experience. Therefore, the current technical problem of low dimming glass control accuracy caused by the delay in the dimming glass's state switching is that the dimming glass has low control accuracy.

[0035] One or more technical solutions proposed in the embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects: the present application provides a conductive contact on the movable side of the movable glass door and a fixed contact on the door frame opposite the conductive contact. The fixed contact can connect the control module and the fixed glass door, thereby enabling the control module to detect whether the fixed contact and the conductive contact are in contact. Thus, when the fixed contact and the conductive contact are in contact, the movable glass door and the fixed glass door can be controlled to be on or off. The control module detects whether the fixed contact and the conductive contact are in contact without delay, thereby enabling the control module to control the movable glass door and the fixed glass door to be on or off simultaneously with the detection of the contact between the fixed contact and the conductive contact. Since the conductive contact is provided on the movable glass door and the fixed contact is provided on the door frame opposite the conductive contact, when the conductive contact and the fixed contact are in contact, it indicates that the movable glass door and the door frame are closed, thereby enabling the control of the movable glass door and the fixed glass door to be controlled to be on or off. This achieves synchronization between door position detection and glass door on / off control without requiring a Hall sensor to detect the door position alone, thereby improving the control accuracy of the glass door. In addition, in the present application, when the fixed contact and the conductive contact are not in contact, the movable glass door is directly powered off. As long as the movable glass door leaves the door frame, the movable glass door will fog. At the same time, the control module can also control the fixed glass door to cut off the power to control the fixed glass door to be in a fogged state, and there is no need to use a Hall sensor to detect whether the glass door leaves the door frame.

[0036] In this application, by directly setting a fixed contact on the door frame and a conductive contact on the movable glass door, it is possible to synchronously control the on / off state of the glass door by detecting whether the fixed contact and the conductive contact are in contact. This avoids the delay caused by the independent functions of door position detection and glass door on / off control, and also avoids the control delay of the dimming glass caused by the inconsistent magnetic field strength between the trigger point and the release point of the Hall sensor. This avoids the state switching delay of the dimming glass and improves the control accuracy of the dimming glass. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0049] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely used to explain the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application.

[0050] In order to better understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0051] Smart glass achieves dynamic switching between transparent and fogged states by controlling the power on and off of the laminated liquid crystal film. However, the current smart glass power on and off control functions are independent of the door position detection function. For example, a Hall effect sensor or reed switch must first detect the door position, then transmit the signal to the control board to drive a relay to adjust the power supply to the smart glass.

[0052] However, since the Hall sensor or reed switch has a certain distance range and sensing interval for detection, it is very likely that the Hall sensor or reed switch will detect that the door is closed after a short period of time, which will cause a control delay for the dimming glass door. For example, the magnetic field strength of the Hall sensor's working trigger point and the release point are inconsistent, resulting in the door body's arrival / exit action and the dimming glass state switching not being completely synchronized. For example, the door may have physically left the closed position, but the magnetic field strength has not dropped to the release point, so the Hall sensor remains in the working state, and the Hall sensor has not yet transmitted the door leaving signal to the control module, which causes the dimming glass to delay for several seconds before switching states, affecting the user experience. Therefore, the current technical problem of low dimming glass control accuracy caused by the delay in the state switching of the dimming glass.

[0053] Therefore, an embodiment of the present application provides a glass control device. This embodiment of the present application provides a conductive contact on the movable side of a movable glass door, and a fixed contact on the door frame opposite the conductive contact. The fixed contact can connect a control module and the fixed glass door, allowing the control module to detect whether the fixed contact is in contact with the conductive contact. Thus, when the fixed contact and the conductive contact are in contact, the movable glass door and the fixed glass door can be controlled to be on and off. The control module detects contact between the fixed contact and the conductive contact without delay, allowing the control module to control the movable glass door and the fixed glass door to be on and off simultaneously with the detection of contact between the fixed contact and the conductive contact. Because the conductive contact is provided on the movable glass door, and the fixed contact is provided on the door frame opposite the conductive contact, contact between the conductive contact and the fixed contact indicates that the movable glass door and the door frame are closed, allowing the movable glass door and the fixed glass door to be controlled to be on and off. This achieves synchronization between door position detection and glass door on and off control, eliminating the need for a Hall sensor to detect the door position alone, thereby improving the control accuracy of the glass door. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, when the fixed contact and the conductive contact are not in contact, the movable glass door is directly powered off. As long as the movable glass door leaves the door frame, the movable glass door will fog. At the same time, the control module can also control the fixed glass door to be powered off to control the fixed glass door to be in a fogged state, and there is no need to use a Hall sensor to detect whether the glass door leaves the door frame.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, fixed contacts are directly provided on the door frame and conductive contacts are provided on the movable glass door. It is then possible to synchronously control the on / off state of the glass door by detecting whether the fixed contacts are in contact with the conductive contacts. This avoids delays caused by the independent operation of the door position detection function and the on / off control function of the glass door, and also avoids control delays of the dimming glass caused by inconsistent magnetic field strengths between the Hall sensor's trigger point and release point. This avoids state switching delays of the dimming glass and improves the control accuracy of the dimming glass.

[0055] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a glass control device, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a first embodiment of a glass control device according to an embodiment of the present application. The glass control device comprises: a control module 100, a door frame 200, a movable glass door K2 disposed within the door frame 200, and a fixed glass door K1;

[0056] The movable side of the movable glass door K2 is provided with a conductive contact H, the door frame 200 is provided with a fixed contact G opposite to the conductive contact H, and the control module 100 and the fixed glass door K1 are both connected to the fixed contact G;

[0057] The control module 100 is used to control the on / off of the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1 when it is detected that the fixed contact G is in contact with the conductive contact H;

[0058] When the fixed contact G does not contact the conductive contact H, the movable glass door K2 is powered off, so that the movable glass door K2 is in an atomized state. The control module 100 is used to control the fixed glass door K1 to be powered off, so that the fixed glass door K1 is in an atomized state.

[0059] It should be noted that both the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1 are dimming glasses. For example, both the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1 can be adjusted to a transparent state or a fogged state, etc., which is not specifically limited in this embodiment. The fixed glass door K1 is a dimming glass fixed to the door frame 200, while the movable glass door K2 is a dimming glass that can move within the door frame 200. The door frame 200 can be used to support the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1. The door frame 200 has opposing first and second sides, as well as opposing top and bottom sides. The movable glass door K2 can move from the first side to the second side of the door frame 200. The fixed glass door K1 also has opposing first and second fixed sides. The top of the fixed glass door K1 is fixed to the top of the door frame 200, and the bottom of the fixed glass door K1 is fixed to the bottom of the door frame 200. The first fixed side of the fixed glass door K1 can be fixed to the first side of the door frame 200. For example, the first side of the door frame 200 may be the left side of the door frame 200, and the second side of the door frame 200 may be the right side of the door frame 200, etc., which is not specifically limited in this embodiment. The top of the movable glass door K2 abuts against the top of the door frame 200, and the bottom of the movable glass door K2 abuts against the bottom of the door frame 200.

[0060] The movable side of the movable glass door K2 refers to the side in the direction of movement of the movable glass door K2. The movable side of the movable glass door K2 may include two sub-movable sides, namely a first movable side and a second movable side. The first movable side can move to a first side of the door frame 200, and the second movable side can move to a second side of the door frame 200.

[0061] The width of the first side of the door frame 200 is the same as the width of the second side. The width of the second side of the door frame 200 is at least equal to the sum of the width of the first fixed side of the fixed glass door K1 and the width of the first movable side of the movable glass door K2.

[0062] Each sub-movable side of the movable glass door K2 is provided with a corresponding conductive contact H. For example, the first movable side may be provided with a first conductive contact H100, and the second movable side may be provided with a second conductive contact H200. The door frame 200 is provided with a first fixed contact G100, opposite the first conductive contact H100, and a second fixed contact G200, opposite the second conductive contact H200. For example, the first fixed contact G100 may be provided on the first side of the door frame 200, and the second fixed contact G200 may be provided on the second side of the door frame 200. For another example, the first conductive contact H100 may be provided at the topmost point on the side of the first movable side, and the second conductive contact H200 may be provided at the topmost point on the side of the second movable side. Accordingly, the first fixed contact G100 is provided at the topmost point on the side of the first side, and the second fixed contact G200 is provided at the topmost point on the side of the second movable side. Consequently, the fixed contacts G and the conductive contacts H are provided opposite each other. This facilitates reliable detection of the door position and / or control of the glass door status via the contacts. In other embodiments, the position of the conductive contact H on the moving side can be set based on actual conditions, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this. Figure 1 , Figure 1 The top view of the fixed glass door K1, the movable glass door K2, the door frame 200, the fixed contact G and the conductive contact H is shown. Figure 1 G refers to the fixed contact G, and H refers to the conductive contact H. The fixed contact G is provided on both sides of the door frame 200, and the conductive contact H is provided on both sides of the movable glass door K2.

[0063] The control module 100 and the fixed glass door K1 are both connected to the fixed contact G, which makes it easier for the control module 100 to monitor the fixed contact G. When the fixed contact G contacts the conductive contact H, the control module 100 can control the fixed glass door K1 through the fixed contact G. The control module 100 can also control the movable glass door K2 through the fixed contact G and the conductive contact H.

[0064] The contact between the fixed contact G and the conductive contact H means that: there are relative sub-fixed contacts G and sub-conductive contacts H in contact, the fixed contact G includes multiple sub-fixed contacts G, the conductive contact H includes multiple sub-conductive contacts H, the multiple sub-fixed contacts G can be the first fixed contact G100 and the second fixed contact G200 respectively, the multiple sub-conductive contacts H can be the first conductive contact H100 and the second conductive contact H200 respectively, the relative sub-fixed contacts G and sub-conductive contacts H can be the relative first fixed contact G100 contacting the first conductive contact H100, or the relative second fixed contact G200 contacting the second conductive contact H200.

[0065] The fixed contact G and the conductive contact H are not in contact, which means that the opposite sub-fixed contact G and the opposite sub-conductive contact H are not in contact, for example, the opposite first fixed contact G100 is in contact with the first conductive contact H100, and the opposite second fixed contact G200 is in contact with the second conductive contact H200.

[0066] When the conductive contact H and the fixed contact G are not in contact, it indicates that the movable glass door K2 has left the first and second sides of the door frame 200. At this point, the movable glass door K2 is physically disconnected from the door frame 200. Therefore, the conductive contact H of the movable glass door K2 is disconnected from the closed contact of the door frame 200, and the movable glass door K2 is automatically de-energized and placed in an atomized state. Therefore, as the movable glass door K2 leaves the closed position of the door frame 200, the movable glass door K2 automatically enters the atomized state, eliminating any state switching delay for the movable glass door K2. Furthermore, since there is no delay in detecting whether the fixed contact G and the conductive contact H are in contact, even when the conductive contact H and the fixed contact G are not in contact, the fixed glass door K1 can be promptly de-energized. This ensures synchronization between the fixed glass door K1 and the movable glass door K2, thereby improving the control accuracy of the glass door state switching. The closed position of the door frame 200 refers to the first side and the second side of the door frame 200 .

[0067] When contact is detected between the fixed contact G and the conductive contact H, the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1 can also be controlled to be on or off. There is no delay in detecting whether the fixed contact G and the conductive contact H are in contact. Consequently, upon detecting contact between the fixed contact G and the conductive contact H, the control module 100 can simultaneously control the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1. The specific switching of the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1 can be determined based on actual circumstances. For example, different user requirements may require different state switching of the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1 when the movable side of the movable glass door K2 contacts the door frame 200. This is not specifically limited in this embodiment. However, in this embodiment, when the fixed contact G and the conductive contact H are in contact, the control module 100 can perform synchronous control without any control delay, thereby improving the control accuracy of the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, a conductive contact H is provided on the moving side of the movable glass door K2, and a fixed contact G opposite to the conductive contact H is provided on the door frame 200. The fixed contact G can connect the control module 100 and the fixed glass door K1, so that the control module 100 can detect whether the fixed contact G is in contact with the conductive contact H, and thus can control the on-off of the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1 when the fixed contact G is in contact with the conductive contact H. There is no delay in the control module 100 detecting whether the fixed contact G and the conductive contact H are in contact, so the control module 100 can control the on-off of the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1 when detecting the contact between the fixed contact G and the conductive contact H. Since the conductive contact H is provided on the movable glass door K2 and the fixed contact G is provided on the door frame 200 at a position opposite to the conductive contact H, when the conductive contact H contacts the fixed contact G, it indicates that the movable glass door K2 is closed to the door frame 200. Thus, the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1 can be controlled to be on and off, achieving synchronization between door position detection and on-off control of the glass door without requiring a Hall sensor to detect the position of the door body alone, thereby improving the control accuracy of the glass door. Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, when the fixed contact G and the conductive contact H are not in contact, the movable glass door K2 is directly powered off. As long as the movable glass door K2 leaves the door frame 200, the movable glass door K2 will fog. Simultaneously, the control module 100 can also control the fixed glass door K1 to be powered off, thereby controlling the fixed glass door K1 to be in a fogged state. Furthermore, there is no need to detect whether the glass door has left the door frame 200 using a Hall sensor.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, by directly providing a fixed contact G on the door frame 200 and a conductive contact H on the movable glass door K2, it is possible to synchronously control the on / off state of the glass door by detecting whether the fixed contact G and the conductive contact H are in contact. This avoids the delay caused by the independent functions of door position detection and glass door on / off control, and also avoids the control delay of the dimming glass caused by the inconsistent magnetic field strength between the trigger point and the release point of the Hall sensor. This avoids the state switching delay of the dimming glass and improves the control accuracy of the dimming glass.

[0070] This embodiment utilizes contacts designed to connect the movable glass door to the door frame on the left and right sides. This allows for both detecting the open and close position of the movable glass door and providing power to the door. Furthermore, the power on and off control of the movable and fixed glass doors is fully synchronized. This embodiment combines the functions of dimming glass power on and off control with door position detection, eliminating the need for additional door status sensors. This reduces costs and structural design complexity, enabling precise detection of the shower door's open and closed state while also precisely controlling the dimming glass's state, such as whether it is atomized or transparent.

[0071] In a possible embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The movable side of the movable glass door K2 includes a first movable side and a second movable side, the conductive contact H includes a first conductive contact H100 and a second conductive contact H200, and the fixed contact G includes a first fixed contact G100 and a second fixed contact G200;

[0072] The first conductive contact H100 is provided on the first movable side, the second conductive contact H200 is provided on the second movable side, the first fixed contact G100 on the door frame 200 is provided opposite to the first conductive contact H100, and the second fixed contact G200 on the door frame 200 is provided opposite to the second conductive contact H200;

[0074] The first contact pair G10 and the second contact pair G20 are connected to the fixed glass door K1, the first detection contact GJ1 and the second detection contact GJ2 are both connected to the control module 100, the third contact pair H10 is connected to the fourth contact pair H20, the third detection contact HJ1 is connected to the third contact pair H10, and the fourth detection contact HJ2 is connected to the fourth contact pair H20.

[0075] It should be noted that the first movable side and the second movable side are opposite sides of the movable glass door K2. For example, the first movable side can be the left side or the right side. When the first movable side is the left side, the second movable side is the right side. When the first movable side is the right side, the second movable side is the left side. This embodiment does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0076] The first conductive contact H100 is disposed opposite the first fixed contact G100, and the second conductive contact H200 is disposed opposite the second fixed contact G200. The first contact pair G10 includes two sub-contacts, each of which is connected to the live and neutral wires of the AC power supply 500. The second contact pair G20 also includes two sub-contacts, each of which can also be connected to the live and neutral wires of the AC power supply 500. For example, the second contact pair G20 can be connected to the live and neutral wires of the AC power supply 500 by connecting to the first contact pair G10. In other embodiments, the second contact pair G20 can also be directly connected to the live and neutral wires of the AC power supply 500.

[0077] The first contact pair G10 and the second contact pair G20 connect to the fixed glass door K1, while the third contact pair H10 and the fourth contact pair H20 connect to the movable glass door K2. The third contact pair H10 may also include two sub-contacts, and the fourth contact pair H20 may also include two sub-contacts. For example, the fourth contact pair H20 can connect to the movable glass door K2 by connecting to the third contact pair H10. For another example, if the two sub-contacts in the first contact pair G10 are respectively designated as the first live contact G11 and the first neutral contact G12, and the two sub-contacts in the second contact pair G20 are respectively designated as the second live contact G21 and the second neutral contact G22, then the first neutral contact can connect to the sub-contact H12 in the third contact pair H10 that is opposite the first neutral contact, and the second neutral contact can connect to the sub-contact H22 in the fourth contact pair H20 that is opposite the second neutral contact.

[0078] Both the first detection contact GJ1 and the second detection contact GJ2 can be connected to the control module 100 .

[0079] For example, you can refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2The figure specifically specifies the first conductive contact H100 and the second conductive contact H200 on the movable glass door K2, and the first fixed contact G100 and the second fixed contact G200 on the door frame 200. The side where H100 is located is the first movable side of the movable glass door K2, and the side where H200 is located is the second movable side of the movable glass door K2. The first contact pair G10 and the third contact pair H10 are positioned opposite each other, as are the second contact pair G20 and the fourth contact pair H20. The first detection contact GJ1 and the third detection contact HJ1 are positioned opposite each other, as are the second detection contact GJ2 and the fourth detection contact HJ2. Figure 2 , one relative position relationship between the first contact pair G10 and the first detection contact GJ1 is shown. In other embodiments, the first detection contact GJ1 may also be arranged between the two sub-contacts corresponding to the first contact pair G10, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0080] In addition, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 The circuit connection relationship between the fixed contact G, the conductive contact H, the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1 is given. Figure 3 The figure shows the circuit connection relationship when the fixed contacts and the conductive contacts are not in contact. Figure 3 K1 also refers to the fixed glass door, K2 also refers to the movable glass door. Figure 3 In the example, G11 can be the first live contact, G12 can be the first neutral contact, G21 can be the second live contact, G22 can be the second neutral contact, H11 and H12 can be the two sub-contacts of the third contact pair H10, H21 and H22 can be the two sub-contacts of the fourth contact pair H20, and the third contact pair H10, the fourth contact pair H20, the third detection contact HJ1, and the fourth detection contact HJ2 are all connected to the movable glass door K2. The first contact pair G10, the second contact pair G20, the second detection contact GJ2, and the first detection contact GJ1 are all connected to the fixed glass door K1. Figure 3 The connection relationship between the first detection contact GJ1 and the second detection contact GJ2 and the control module 100 is not shown.

[0081] In a possible embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The glass control device includes an AC power supply 500, a first detection unit 300 provided between a first detection contact GJ1 and the control module 100, and a second detection unit 400 provided between a second detection contact GJ2 and the control module 100;

[0082] The first detection unit 300 includes a first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 and a first diode D1, and the second detection unit 400 includes a second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 and a second diode D2;

[0083] The light-receiving end of the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 is connected to the first detection end DoorLeft of the control module 100, the light-emitting end of the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 is connected in reverse parallel to the first diode D1, the cathode of the first diode D1 is connected to the live wire end AC_L of the AC power supply 500, and the anode of the first diode D1 is connected to the first detection contact GJ1;

[0084] The light-receiving end of the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 is connected to the second detection end DoorRight of the control module 100, the light-emitting end of the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 is connected in reverse parallel to the second diode D2, the anode of the second diode D2 is connected to the live wire end of the AC power supply 500, and the cathode of the second diode D2 is connected to the second detection contact GJ2.

[0085] It should be noted that the AC power supply 500 supports powering the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1. The first detection unit 300 is set between the first detection contact GJ1 and the first detection terminal DoorLeft of the control module 100, and the second detection unit 400 is set between the second detection contact GJ2 and the second detection terminal DoorRight of the control module 100. Figure 4 AC_N_L shown in the figure can be the input port of the first detection unit 300, the anode of the first diode D1 in the first detection unit 300 can be used as the output port of the first detection unit 300, the first detection contact GJ1 can be connected to AC_N_L, AC_N_R can be the input port of the second detection unit 400, the anode of the second diode D2 in the second detection unit 400 can be used as the output port of the second detection unit 400, and the second detection contact GJ2 can be connected to AC_N_R.

[0086] Since the movable glass door K2 can be closed with the first side of the door frame 200 or with the second side of the door frame 200, and the door frame 200 is further provided with a fixed glass door K1, the closing position of the movable glass door K2 is different, and the opening and closing conditions of the glass door in the door frame 200 are also different. For example, when the fixed glass door K1 is fixed to the left side of the door frame 200, when the movable glass door K2 is closed with the left side, the right side of the door frame 200 is still open. When the movable glass door K2 is closed with the right side, the door frame 200 is in a closed state, and entry and exit are not supported. The left side of the door frame 200 can be the first side or the second side, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0087] The first detection terminal DoorLeft of the control module 100 can be used to detect whether the side of the door frame 200 where the fixed glass door K1 is located is in contact with the movable glass door K2. The second detection terminal DoorRight of the control module 100 can be used to detect whether the side of the door frame 200 where the fixed glass door K1 is not located is in contact with the glass door. The side where the fixed glass door K1 is located can be the first side or the second side of the door frame 200, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this. For example, the side where the first fixed contact G100 is located can be the side where the fixed glass door K1 is located. The first detection terminal DoorLeft can detect whether the opposing first fixed contact G100 is in contact with the first conductive contact H100 via the first detection unit 300, and the second detection terminal DoorRight can detect whether the opposing second fixed contact G200 is in contact with the second conductive contact H200 via the second detection unit 400.

[0088] Specifically, the first detection unit 300 may include a first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 and a first diode D1, and the second detection unit 400 includes a second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 and a second diode D2. The light-emitting end of the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 is connected in reverse parallel to the first diode D1. For example, referring to Figure 5 The anode of the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 is connected to the cathode of the first diode D1, and the cathode of the light-emitting end of the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 is connected to the anode of the first diode D1. The light-emitting end of the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 is connected in anti-parallel to the second diode D2, the anode of the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 is connected to the cathode of the second diode D2, and the cathode of the light-emitting end of the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 is connected to the anode of the second diode D2.

[0089] The light receiving end of the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 is connected to the first detection end DoorLeft, the first end of the light receiving end of the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 is also connected to the power supply, and the second end of the light receiving end of the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 can be grounded. The light receiving end of the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 is connected to the second detection end DoorRight, the first end of the light receiving end of the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 is also connected to the power supply, and the second end of the light receiving end of the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 can be grounded. For details, please refer to Figure 5 The circuit connection in the embodiment may be that the first end of the light receiving end of the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 is connected to the second detection end DoorRight.

[0090] Reference Figure 5In this embodiment, a first resistor R1 may be further provided between the cathode of the first diode D1 and the anode of the light-emitting end of the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1, a second resistor R2 may be further provided between the cathode of the second diode D2 and the anode of the light-emitting end of the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2, a third resistor R3 may be further provided between the first end of the light-receiving end of the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 and the power supply, and a fourth resistor R4 may be further provided between the first end of the light-receiving end of the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 and the power supply.

[0091] The anode of the first diode D1 is connected to the first detection contact GJ1, and the cathode of the first diode D1 is connected to the live wire end of the AC power supply 500. When the first fixed contact G100 is not in contact with the first conductive contact H100, there is no current or voltage in the first detection contact GJ1, and the first detection unit 300 is cut off. When the first fixed contact G100 is in contact with the first conductive contact H100, the first detection contact GJ1 can be connected to the neutral wire end of the AC power supply 500, thereby making the first detection unit 300 periodically conductive.

[0092] The anode of the second diode D2 is connected to the first detection contact GJ1, and the cathode of the second diode D2 is connected to the live wire end of the AC power supply 500. When the second fixed contact G200 is not in contact with the second conductive contact H200, there is no current or voltage in the second detection contact GJ2, and the second detection unit 400 is cut off. When the second fixed contact G200 is in contact with the second conductive contact H200, the second detection contact GJ2 can be connected to the neutral wire end of the AC power supply 500, thereby making the second detection unit 400 periodically conductive.

[0093] This embodiment sets up a first detection unit 300 and a second detection unit 400, thereby facilitating the detection of whether the first movable side of the movable glass door K2 is closed with the door frame 200 and whether the second movable side of the movable glass door K2 is closed with the door frame 200, thereby facilitating the control module 100 to control the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1.

[0094] In a feasible embodiment, when the first fixed contact G100 is in contact with the first conductive contact H100, the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 of the first detection unit 300 is periodically turned on, and the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 outputs a square wave signal to the first detection terminal DoorLeft of the control module 100;

[0095] When the second fixed contact G200 contacts the second conductive contact H200 , the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 of the second detection unit 400 is periodically turned on, and the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 outputs a square wave signal to the second detection terminal DoorRight of the control module 100 .

[0096] It should be noted that when the first fixed contact G100 contacts the first conductive contact H100, the first detection contact GJ1 can be connected to the neutral line terminal of the AC power supply 500 through the first neutral line contact in the first fixed contact G100 and the sub-contact in the first conductive contact H100 that contacts the first neutral line contact, and the cathode of the light-emitting end of the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 is connected to the first detection contact GJ1, the anode of the light-emitting end of the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 is connected to the live wire terminal of the AC power supply 500, and the first detection contact GJ1 is connected to the neutral line terminal, thereby enabling the light-emitting end of the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 to be periodically turned on, and the light-receiving end of the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 to be periodically turned on, thereby enabling the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 to output a periodically turned-on square wave signal to the first detection terminal DoorLeft. When the first detection end DoorLeft of the control module 100 receives a square wave signal, it means that the first movable side of the movable glass door K2 is closed to the first side of the door frame 200, which facilitates the subsequent on-off control of the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1 to control whether the glass door is in a fogged or transparent state, etc.

[0097] When the second fixed contact G200 contacts the second conductive contact H200, the second detection contact GJ2 can be connected to the neutral line terminal of the AC power supply 500 through the second neutral line contact in the second fixed contact G200 and the sub-contact in the second conductive contact H200 that contacts the second neutral line contact, and the cathode of the light-emitting end of the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 is connected to the second detection contact GJ2, the anode of the light-emitting end of the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 is connected to the live wire end of the AC power supply 500, and the second detection contact GJ2 is connected to the neutral line end, so that the light-emitting end of the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 can be periodically turned on, and the light-receiving end of the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 can also be periodically turned on, so that the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 can output a periodically turned-on square wave signal to the second detection terminal DoorRight. When the second detection end DoorRight of the control module 100 receives a square wave signal, it means that the second movable side of the movable glass door K2 is closed to the second side of the door frame 200, which facilitates the subsequent on-off control of the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1 to control whether the glass door is in a fogged or transparent state, etc.

[0098] This embodiment implements AC / DC isolation through the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 and the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2, thereby improving circuit safety and ensuring reliability of dimming glass control.

[0099] In a feasible embodiment, when the first fixed contact G100 is not in contact with the first conductive contact H100, the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 of the first detection unit 300 is turned off, and the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 outputs a high-level signal to the first detection terminal DoorLeft of the control module 100;

[0100] When the second fixed contact G200 is not in contact with the second conductive contact H200 , the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 of the second detection unit 400 is turned off, and the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 outputs a high level signal to the second detection terminal DoorRight of the control module 100 .

[0101] It should be noted that when the first fixed contact G100 is not in contact with the first conductive contact H100, the first detection contact GJ1 is without current or voltage, and thus the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 will not be turned on. When the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 is turned off, the first detection optocoupler isolator OP1 can pull up the first detection terminal DoorLeft, thereby causing the first detection terminal DoorLeft to receive a high-level signal. When the first detection terminal DoorLeft receives a high-level signal, it indicates that the first moving side of the movable glass door K2 has left the first side of the door frame 200.

[0102] When the second fixed contact G200 is not in contact with the second conductive contact H200, the second detection contact GJ2 is free of current and voltage, and thus the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 is also inactive. When the second detection optocoupler isolator OP2 is inactive, the second detection terminal DoorRight can be pulled high, thereby causing the second detection terminal DoorRight to receive a high-level signal. When the second detection terminal DoorRight receives a high-level signal, it indicates that the second movable side of the movable glass door K2 has left the second side of the door frame 200. Because the square wave signal is a periodically changing signal, while the high-level signal is a continuous high level, the control module 100 can distinguish between the square wave signal and the continuous high-level signal, thereby facilitating accurate control of the glass door.

[0103] In other embodiments, the first detection unit 300 can also be configured to pull the first detection end DoorLeft down to a low level when the first fixed contact G100 is in contact with the first conductive contact, and pull the first detection end DoorLeft up to a high level when the first fixed contact G100 is not in contact with the first conductive contact. Then, the control module 100 can determine that the first movable side of the movable glass door K2 is closed to the first side of the door frame 200 when the first detection end DoorLeft is pulled low, and thus the movable glass door K2 can be controlled. Then, the control module 100 can also determine that the first movable side of the movable glass door K2 is not closed to the first side of the door frame 200 when the first detection end DoorLeft is pulled high, so as to perform subsequent control. The second detection unit 400 can also be configured to pull the second detection terminal DoorRight down to a low level when the second fixed contact G200 is in contact with the second conductive contact, and pull the second detection terminal DoorRight up to a high level when the second fixed contact G200 is not in contact with the second conductive contact. Thus, when the second detection terminal DoorRight is pulled low, the control module 100 can determine that the second movable side of the movable glass door K2 is closed with the second side of the door frame 200, thereby controlling the movable glass door K2. Furthermore, when the second detection terminal DoorRight is pulled high, the control module 100 can also determine that the second movable side of the movable glass door K2 is not closed with the second side of the door frame 200, thereby enabling subsequent control. This embodiment is not specifically limited to this. The first detection unit 300 and the second detection unit 400 can be configured based on actual circumstances. However, the first detection unit 300 will connect the first detection terminal DoorLeft to the first detection contact GJ1, and the second detection unit 400 will connect the second detection terminal DoorRight to the second detection contact GJ2.

[0104] In one possible embodiment, referring to Figure 6 , the glass control device includes an on-off unit 600, and the on-off unit 600 includes an on-off optical coupler isolator OP3 and an on-off switch Q1;

[0105] The light-emitting end of the on-off optocoupler isolator OP3 is connected to the on-off control end ON_OFF of the control module 100, the light-receiving end of the optocoupler isolator is connected to the first end of the on-off switch Q1, the second end of the on-off switch Q1 is connected to the first contact pair G10 and the second contact pair G20 in the fixed contact G, and the third end of the on-off switch Q1 is connected to the AC power supply 500 in the glass control device.

[0106] It should be noted that the on / off unit 600 can be used to connect the fixed glass door K1 to the AC power supply 500, and can also be used to disconnect the fixed glass door K1 from the AC power supply 500. The on / off unit 600 includes an on / off optocoupler isolator OP3 and an on / off switch Q1. The on / off switch Q1 can be a thyristor. The on / off optocoupler isolator OP3 can be used to isolate AC and DC to ensure circuit reliability. The light-receiving end of the on / off optocoupler isolator OP3 can be a phototransistor. For example, the model of the on / off optocoupler isolator OP3 can be PC817, etc. This embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0107] The second end of the on-off switch Q1 is connected to the first live contact of the first contact pair G10 and the second live contact of the second contact pair G20. Depending on the level of the on-off control terminal ON_OFF, the on-off state of the on-off optocoupler isolator OP3 varies. For example, when the on-off control terminal ON_OFF is at a high level, the on-off optocoupler isolator OP3 is turned on; when the on-off control terminal ON_OFF is at a low level, the on-off optocoupler isolator OP3 is turned off. When the on-off optocoupler isolator OP3 is turned off, the on-off switch Q1 is turned off; and when the on-off optocoupler isolator OP3 is turned on, the on-off switch Q1 is turned on.

[0108] Reference Figure 6 A fifth resistor R5 may be provided between the on-off optocoupler isolator OP3 and the on-off switch Q1. The first end of the light-receiving end of the on-off optocoupler isolator OP3 may be connected to a power source, and the second end of the light-receiving end of the on-off optocoupler isolator OP3 may be connected to the fifth resistor. A sixth resistor R6 may be provided between the on-off optocoupler isolator OP3 and the on-off control terminal ON_OFF. For example, the anode of the light-emitting end of the on-off optocoupler isolator OP3 may be connected to the sixth resistor, and the cathode of the light-emitting end of the on-off optocoupler isolator OP3 may be grounded. This embodiment provides an on-off unit 600, thereby facilitating control of the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1 via the on-off unit 600, thereby subsequently improving the control accuracy of the dimming glass door.

[0109] exist Figure 6 In the figure, the overall circuit diagram of the glass control device is shown, wherein the control module 100 can be a chip, for example, the model of the control module 100 can be SC92L8532X20U, etc. This embodiment does not specifically limit this. Figure 6Not all pins corresponding to the control module 100 are shown. The VCC and VDD terminals of the control module 100 can be equipped with a first capacitor C1 and a second capacitor C2 to provide filtering to ensure circuit stability and reliability. DoorLeft can be the chip's USRX0 / INT25 / P2.1 pin, DoorRight can be the chip's AIN2 / PWM4 / P2.4 pin, and ON_OFF can be the chip's AIN3 / PWM5 / P2.5 pin. In other embodiments, other pins on the chip can also be used; this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0110] In a feasible embodiment, when the first detection terminal DoorLeft receives a square wave signal, the on-off control terminal ON_OFF of the control module 100 outputs a control signal corresponding to the first preset control requirement;

[0111] When the second detection terminal DoorRight receives a square wave signal, the on-off control terminal ON_OFF of the control module 100 outputs a control signal corresponding to the second preset control requirement;

[0112] When the control signal is an on signal, the on-off optical coupler isolator OP3 of the on-off unit 600 in the glass control device is turned on, the on-off switch Q1 in the on-off unit 600 is turned on, and the AC power supply 500 in the glass control device supplies power to the fixed glass door K1 and the movable glass door K2;

[0113] When the control signal is a cut-off signal, the on-off optical coupler isolator OP3 is cut off, the on-off switch Q1 is cut off, and the fixed glass door K1 and the movable glass door K2 are powered off.

[0114] It should be noted that when the first detection terminal DoorLeft receives a square wave signal, it indicates that the first movable side of the movable glass door K2 is closed with the side of the door frame 200 where the fixed glass door K1 is located. Consequently, the on / off control terminal ON_OFF of the control module 100 can output a control signal corresponding to the first preset control requirement. The first preset control requirement can be a transparent state, and the first preset control requirement can remain unchanged. In other words, when the first detection terminal DoorLeft receives a square wave signal, it can be assumed that the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1 are energized so that both the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1 are in a transparent state. Since the door frame 200 supports entry and exit when the first movable side of the movable glass door K2 is closed with the side of the door frame 200 where the fixed glass door K1 is located, both the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1 can be set to a transparent state. In other embodiments, if the user has different requirements, the first preset control requirement can also be a fogged state. The specific setting can also be based on actual conditions and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0115] For example, when the first preset control requirement is a transparent state, when the first detection terminal DoorLeft receives a square wave signal, the control signal output by the on-off control terminal ON_OFF may be an on signal. When the first preset control requirement is an atomized state, when the first detection terminal DoorLeft receives a square wave signal, the control signal output by the on-off control terminal ON_OFF may be an off signal. The on signal may be a high level, and the off signal may be a low level.

[0116] When the second detection terminal DoorRight receives a square wave signal, it indicates that the second movable side of the movable glass door K2 is closed to the second side of the door frame 200. Consequently, the on / off control terminal ON_OFF of the control module 100 can output a control signal corresponding to the second preset control requirement. The second preset control requirement can be determined based on actual conditions, for example, based on user needs. When the second movable side of the movable glass door K2 is closed to the second side of the door frame 200, it indicates that the door frame 200 does not support entry or exit, and the door frame 200 is completely closed. At this point, the user's requirements for the glass door may be transparent or atomized, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0117] It can be considered that when the second movable side of the movable glass door K2 is closed with the second side of the door frame 200, the closed glass door and the fixed glass door K1 can be controlled to be on and off according to the second preset control requirement, rather than the glass door being controlled to be on and off only after being closed for a period of time. When the second movable side of the movable glass door K2 is closed with the second side of the door frame 200, whether to control the movable glass door K2 and the fixed glass door K1 to be energized or deenergized can be determined according to the second preset control requirement, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0118] For example, when the second preset control requirement is the transparent state, when the second detection terminal DoorRight receives a square wave signal, the control signal output by the on-off control terminal ON_OFF may be an on signal. When the second preset control requirement is the atomized state, when the second detection terminal DoorRight receives a square wave signal, the control signal output by the on-off control terminal ON_OFF may be an off signal. The on signal may be a high level, and the off signal may be a low level.

[0119] When the control signal is an on-signal, the on-off optocoupler isolator OP3 of the on-off unit 600 in the glass control device is turned on. When the on-off optocoupler isolator OP3 is turned on, the on-off switch Q1 in the on-off unit 600 is turned on. When the on-off switch Q1 is turned on, both the first contact pair G10 and the second contact pair G20 can receive power from the AC power supply 500, and both the first contact pair G10 and the second contact pair G20 are connected to the fixed glass door K1. Then, when the on-off switch Q1 is turned on, the AC power supply 500 energizes the fixed glass door K1. When the first contact pair G10 contacts the third contact pair H10, the AC power supply 500 can energize the movable glass door K2 through the first contact pair G10 and the third contact pair H10. When the second contact pair G20 contacts the fourth contact pair H20, the AC power supply 500 can energize the movable glass door K2 through the second contact pair G20 and the fourth contact pair H20.

[0120] When the control signal is a cut-off signal, the on-off optocoupler isolator OP3 is cut off. When the on-off optocoupler isolator OP3 is cut off, the on-off switch Q1 is cut off, and the first contact pair G10 and the second contact pair G20 cannot receive the power provided by the AC power supply 500, and thus cannot energize the fixed glass door K1. At this time, even if the first contact pair G10 contacts the third contact pair H10, the AC power supply 500 will not energize the movable glass door K2. Even if the second contact pair G20 contacts the fourth contact pair H20, the AC power supply 500 will not energize the movable glass door K2.

[0121] In a feasible embodiment, when both the first detection terminal DoorLeft and the second detection terminal DoorRight receive high-level signals, the on-off control terminal ON_OFF of the control module 100 outputs a cut-off signal;

[0122] When the on-off control terminal ON_OFF of the control module 100 outputs a cutoff signal, the on-off optocoupler isolator OP3 of the on-off unit 600 in the glass control device is cut off, the on-off switch Q1 of the on-off unit 600 is cut off, and the AC power supply 500 in the glass control device stops supplying power to the fixed glass door K1.

[0123] It should be noted that, when both the first detection terminal DoorLeft and the second detection terminal DoorRight receive high-level signals, it indicates that the movable glass door K2 is away from the first side and the second side of the door frame 200 .

[0124] When the movable glass door K2 leaves the first side and the second side of the door frame 200, the movable glass door K2 physically leaves the first side and the second side of the door frame 200, so the movable glass door K2 is powered off. After leaving the first side and the second side of the door frame 200, the movable glass door K2 is in a fogged state.

[0125] The fixed glass door K1 is connected to the fixed contact G. Therefore, when the movable glass door leaves the first and second sides of the door frame 200, the fixed glass door K1 needs to be controlled to ensure that the state switching of the fixed glass door K1 and the movable glass door K2 is synchronized. Specifically, in this embodiment, when both the first detection terminal DoorLeft and the second detection terminal DoorRight receive a high-level signal, the on / off control terminal ON_OFF of the control module 100 outputs an off signal. When the on / off control terminal ON_OFF of the control module 100 outputs an off signal, the on / off optical coupler isolator OP3 is turned off, and the on / off switch Q1 of the on / off unit 600 is turned off. When the on / off switch Q1 is turned off, the first contact pair G10 and the second contact pair G20 do not receive power from the AC power source 500, and thus the fixed glass door K1 is not energized. Therefore, the fixed glass door K1 is also de-energized and remains in the fogged state when the movable glass door leaves the first and second sides of the door frame 200. This achieves synchronized control of the fixed glass door K1 and the movable glass door K2, enabling movement of the movable glass door K2 and synchronizing the on / off control of the movable glass door K2 with the fixed glass door K1, thereby improving the accuracy of dimming glass control. In this embodiment, the signal transmission and control module processing time is extremely short, and the time difference is imperceptible to the human eye. Therefore, when the movable door leaves the first and second sides of the door frame, the movable and fixed glass doors can be simultaneously de-energized and transformed into a fogged state.

[0126] Further, based on the above embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above embodiment can be referred to the above introduction and will not be described in detail later. Figure 7 This embodiment further provides a glass control method, the method comprising:

[0127] Step S10, when it is detected that the fixed contact is in contact with the conductive contact, the movable glass door and the fixed glass door are controlled to be on and off;

[0128] Step S20: When it is detected that the fixed contact is not in contact with the conductive contact, the movable glass door is powered off, and the fixed glass door is controlled to be powered off, so that the movable glass door and the fixed glass door are in a fogged state.

[0129] It should be noted that, when it is detected that the fixed contact is in contact with the conductive contact, the fixed glass door and the movable glass door can be controlled to be on and off based on preset control requirements.

[0130] For example, when it is detected that the first fixed contact is in contact with the first conductive contact, the fixed glass door and the movable glass door can be controlled to be on and off according to the first preset control requirement; when it is detected that the second fixed contact is in contact with the second conductive contact, the fixed glass door and the movable glass door can be controlled to be on and off according to the second preset control requirement.

[0131] When the fixed contact and the conductive contact are not in contact, the movable glass door is separated from the first and second sides of the door frame. Therefore, when the movable glass door is separated from the first and second sides of the door frame, the power is automatically cut off. At the same time, to ensure the synchronization of the fixed glass door and the movable glass door, the fixed glass door is controlled to be de-energized so that both the movable glass door and the fixed glass door are in the fogged state.

[0132] Therefore, this embodiment can synchronize the movement of the movable glass door with the on / off control of the movable and fixed glass doors. By detecting whether the fixed contact and the conductive contact are in contact, and synchronously controlling the movable and fixed glass doors when the fixed contact and the conductive contact are in contact, synchronous control is achieved without control delay, thereby improving the control accuracy of the dimming glass door.

[0133] For a better understanding of this embodiment, please refer to Figure 8, taking the first side of the door frame as the left side, the second side of the door frame as the right side, and the fixed glass door set on the left side of the door frame as an example, the process of controlling the movable glass door and the fixed glass door in this embodiment is briefly described. Initially, step X100 and step Y100 can be executed simultaneously, X100: detect whether the first detection end is a square wave signal, Y100: detect whether the second segment is a square wave signal. If the first detection end is a square wave signal, then determine step X111: determine that the movable glass door is closed to the left side of the door frame, and then execute step X112: control the on-off switch to be turned on, and the movable glass door and the fixed glass door are in a transparent state. If the first detection end is not a square wave signal, then determine step X121: if the first detection end jumps from a square wave signal to a high level signal, then directly execute step X122: the movable glass door is powered off, and the fixed glass door is controlled to be powered off synchronously. Since the first detection end jumps from a square wave signal to a high-level signal, indicating that the movable glass door is currently leaving the left side of the doorframe, the movable glass door is physically powered off at this time. Simultaneously, the fixed glass door needs to be powered off simultaneously so that the states of the fixed and movable glass doors can switch synchronously. Upon detecting that the movable glass door has returned to the left side or reached the right side of the doorframe, the movable and fixed glass doors can be controlled to switch on and off. For example, if the movable glass door moves from the left side to the right side, the switching process of the movable glass door is power on, power off, and power on. Therefore, at the moment the movable glass door leaves the left side, the movable glass door is powered off, and the fixed glass door is also powered off. After executing step X122, the process can return to step X100 and can also execute step Y100. After executing step X112, the process can return to step X100 to monitor the first detection end in real time.

[0134] If the second detection terminal receives a square wave signal, step Y111 is executed to determine whether the movable glass door is closed to the right side of the doorframe. Then, step Y112 is executed to control the movable and fixed glass doors on and off according to a second preset control requirement. If the second detection terminal does not receive a square wave signal, step Y121 is executed. If the second detection terminal transitions from a square wave signal to a high level signal, step Y122 is executed directly to de-energize the movable glass door and simultaneously de-energize the fixed glass door. Since the second detection terminal transitions from a square wave signal to a high level signal, indicating that the movable glass door has left the right side of the doorframe, the movable glass door is physically de-energized. Simultaneously, the fixed glass door needs to be de-energized to synchronize the states of the fixed and movable glass doors. Upon detecting that the movable glass door has returned to the right side or reached the left side of the doorframe, the on / off control of the movable and fixed glass doors can be resumed. The moment the movable glass door leaves the right side, the movable glass door is de-energized, simultaneously de-energizing the fixed glass door. After executing step Y122, the process may return to executing step Y100 and may also execute step X100. After executing step Y112, the process may also return to executing step Y100 so as to monitor the second detection end in real time.

[0135] If the first detection terminal is detected as a high-level signal instead of the first detection terminal, the second detection terminal needs to be detected. If the second detection terminal is also a high-level signal, the movable glass door is powered off and the fixed glass door is also powered off synchronously. If the second detection terminal is a square wave signal, the movable and fixed glass doors are controlled to be on and off according to the second preset control requirement. In this embodiment, as long as either the first detection terminal or the second detection terminal is detected as a square wave signal, the movable and fixed glass doors are controlled to be on and off synchronously. If the first detection terminal jumps from a square wave signal to a high-level signal, or the second detection terminal jumps from a square wave signal to a high-level signal, or if both the first detection terminal and the second detection terminal are high-level signals, the movable glass door is powered off and the fixed glass door is also controlled to be powered off.
