Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of door and window technology, and in particular relates to a folding intelligent door and window. Background Technology
[0002] Smart doors and windows integrate technologies such as sensors, the Internet of Things (IoT), automatic control, artificial intelligence (AI), and materials science. They use environmental sensors, motion sensors, and safety sensors to monitor environmental changes and safety hazards in real time, and leverage IoT technology to achieve remote control, device linkage, and data sharing. Automatic control technology uses motor drives and intelligent algorithms to achieve automatic adjustment of doors and windows, while AI technology further enhances the intelligent experience by learning user habits and using voice and image recognition.
[0003] Existing smart doors and windows can achieve large-area automatic opening and closing, and can be used in conjunction with smart curtains in strong light or at night. However, the curtains cannot be integrated with the doors and windows, and both need to occupy their own installation space. In addition, the curtains need to be cleaned regularly.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a folding smart door and window. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a folding smart door and window that solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model relates to a folding smart door and window, comprising an outer frame, with a plurality of door panels slidably disposed within the outer frame. Adjacent door panels are hinged to each other. A first cavity is formed at the upper end of the inner side of each door panel, and a second cavity is formed at the lower end. Glass is disposed between the first cavity and the second cavity. A light-adjusting cloth capable of adjusting light transmittance is disposed within each door panel. The light-adjusting cloth includes a deep light-blocking area and a shallow light-blocking area, as well as a pull cord. The lengths of the light-blocking area and the shallow light-blocking area are equal, and the sum of the lengths of the deep light-blocking area, the shallow light-blocking area, and the pull cord is equal.
[0008] Furthermore, a driven roller is rotatably connected to the first cavity via a coil spring, and an active roller that is offset from the driven roller is also rotatably connected to the first cavity. The deep shading area on the dimming cloth is connected to the driven roller, and the pull rope is connected to the active roller.
[0009] Furthermore, the first cavity is provided with two guide rollers that cooperate with the driven roller and the driving roller respectively, and the second cavity is provided with a rotating guide cylinder. The guide cylinder and the two guide rollers make the front and rear ends of the unfolded dimming cloth parallel to the glass.
[0010] Furthermore, a winding reel for winding the pull rope is fixed on the drive roller, and a driven gear is also fixed at one end of the winding reel. The deep shading area and the shallow shading area can be simultaneously wound around the driven roller by a coil spring.
[0011] Furthermore, a fixed motor is provided in the first cavity, and a driving gear that meshes with the driven gear is fixed at the output end of the motor. A signal transceiver is provided in the first cavity, and the signal transceiver is electrically connected to the motor.
[0012] Furthermore, baffles are fixed in both the first and second cavities, and openings for the movement of the dimming cloth are formed at both ends of the baffles near the glass.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This utility model sets up a light-adjusting cloth inside the door, and then a motor drives the light-adjusting cloth to rotate inside the door, unfolding different areas of the light-adjusting cloth inside the glass, thereby adjusting the overall light transmittance of the door. The deep and shallow light-blocking areas of the light-adjusting cloth can adjust the light-blocking effect when they are in the glass area, while the pull rope ensures the maximum light transmittance when the door is closed when it is in the glass area, making the doors and windows more flexible to use.
[0015] This invention achieves intelligent functionality by installing a signal transceiver inside the door, which can be integrated with smart home systems or operated via a mobile phone.
[0016] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6As shown, this utility model is a folding smart door and window, including an outer frame 1, with a plurality of door bodies 2 slidably disposed in the outer frame 1. Adjacent door bodies 2 are hinged to each other. A first cavity 201 is formed at the upper end of the inner side of each door body 2, and a second cavity 202 is formed at the lower end. A glass 203 is disposed between the first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202. A light-adjusting cloth 3 capable of adjusting light transmittance is provided in each door body 2. The light-adjusting cloth 3 includes a deep light-blocking area 31 and a shallow light-blocking area 32, as well as a pull cord 33. The deep light-blocking area 31 and the shallow light-blocking area 32 can be made of flocked surfaces of different thicknesses and densities as needed. Made of materials such as black silk blackout cloth and coated blackout cloth, it achieves different blackout effects. The lengths of the blackout area 31 and the light blackout area 32 are equal. When the dark blackout area 31 and the light blackout area 32 are fully extended, they both provide blackout at the same time. At this time, the pull rope 33 is in a fully wound state. The sum of the lengths of the dark blackout area 31, the light blackout area 32, and the pull rope 33 is equal. When the pull rope 33 is fully extended, the dark blackout area 31 and the light blackout area 32 are completely wound on the driven roller 4. At the same time, the pull rope 33 is located on the outer periphery of the glass 203 inside the door body 2, and does not affect the light transmittance of the glass 203 at all.
[0029] In this embodiment, a driven roller 4 is rotatably connected to the first cavity 201 via a coil spring, and an active roller 5, which is offset from the driven roller 4, is also rotatably connected to the first cavity 201. The deep shading area 31 on the dimming cloth 3 is connected to the driven roller 4, and the pull rope 33 is connected to the active roller 5. In this embodiment, the driven roller 4 winds up the dimming cloth 3 via a torsion spring, and the active roller 5 pulls the dimming cloth 3 in both forward and reverse directions via a motor 9. The torsion spring of the driven roller 4 cooperates with the active roller 4 to ensure the tension of the dimming cloth 3.
[0030] The first cavity 201 is provided with two guide rollers 6 that cooperate with the driven roller 4 and the driving roller 5 respectively. The second cavity 202 is provided with a rotating guide cylinder 7. The guide cylinder 7 and the two guide rollers 6 make the front and rear ends of the unfolded dimming cloth 3 parallel to the glass 203. In this embodiment, the guide rollers 6 and the guide cylinder 7 cooperate to ensure the flatness of the unfolded dimming cloth 3, and at the same time, it is parallel to the front and rear ends of the door body 2, resulting in better consistency and aesthetics.
[0031] The drive roller 5 is fixed with a winding reel 51 for winding the pull rope 33. One end of the winding reel 51 is also fixed with a driven gear 52. The deep shading area 31 and the shallow shading area 32 can be wound up to the outside of the driven roller 4 at the same time by a coil spring. In this embodiment, the pull rope 33 and the driven gear 52 are provided with at least two symmetrical sets to ensure uniform power transmission.
[0032] The first cavity 201 contains a fixed motor 9, and the output end of the motor 9 is fixed with a driving gear 91 that meshes with the driven gear 52. The first cavity 201 contains a signal transceiver 10, which is electrically connected to the motor 9. In this embodiment, the motor 9 has a control interface (such as UART, PWM, relay contacts, etc.). In conjunction with the signal transceiver 10 and smart home protocols, the core components include a motor driver + a wireless transceiver module (such as Wi-Fi / Bluetooth / Zigbee) + a smart home hub (such as Home Assistant / Tmall Genie). The signal transceiver receives instructions from the smart home platform (such as mobile APP instructions) and converts the instructions into motor drive signals (such as PWM speed regulation, relay on / off) through level conversion or protocol parsing. The motor performs actions (start / stop / speed / direction, etc.). Optional sensors (such as Hall encoders) can be added to achieve status feedback and form a closed-loop control.
[0033] In this embodiment, baffles 8 are fixed in both the first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202. Both ends of the baffles 8 near the glass 203 have openings for the movement of the dimming cloth 3. In this embodiment, the baffles 8 are used to block the interior of the first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202 to ensure aesthetics. The width of the openings is greater than the thickness of the dimming cloth 3 to ensure the passage of the dimming cloth 3.
[0034] Understandably, by installing a rotatable dimming cloth inside the door and driving the cloth to rotate via a motor, the light transmittance can be adjusted so that the deep darkening area, the light-blocking area, or the pull cord corresponds to the glass area; at the same time, the built-in signal transceiver supports smart home or remote control via mobile phone, enabling intelligent operation.
[0035] One specific application of this embodiment is that the driven roller 4 is installed in the first cavity 201 using a coil spring, and under the action of the coil spring, the driven roller 4 can wind up the dimming cloth 3; for example Figure 2 The three door panels 2 shown are arranged as follows: On the left, the deep shading zone 31 and the shallow shading zone 32 are both located inside the glass 203. At this time, the pull rope 33 is completely retracted into the winding reel 51, and the deep shading zone 31 and the shallow shading zone 32 are located at the front and rear ends of the door panel 2, respectively, resulting in the best shading effect; in the middle, the shallow shading zone 32 is located inside the glass 203, and half of the pull rope 33 is retracted into the winding reel 51. The deep shading zone 31 has not yet been unwound outside the driven roller 4, resulting in a moderate shading effect; on the right, both the deep shading zone 31 and the shallow shading zone 32 are wound onto the driven roller 4. At this time, the deep shading zone 31 and the shallow shading zone 32 are completely wound onto the outside of the driven roller 4, and the pull rope 33 is fully unwound, resulting in the best lighting effect.
[0036] When the position of the dimming cloth 3 needs to be adjusted, the motor 9 starts and drives the drive gear 91 to mesh with the driven gear 52. The driven gear 52 drives the winding reel 51 to rotate. During the rotation of the winding reel 51, the pull rope 33 is wound up (or unwound). At this time, the driven roller 4, under the action of the torsion spring, drives the deep shading area 31 and the shallow shading area 32 to unwound (or retract). During use, the two guide rollers 6 ensure the fit and tightness of the dimming cloth 3 inside the door body 2.
