This type of glass can effectively reduce building energy consumption, improve indoor lighting, and enhance user comfort by adjusting light transmittance. However, existing dimmable smart glass still faces many problems in practical applications, especially in the performance of its drive control system.
[0003] Currently, most dimmable smart glass drive control systems on the market employ a single control mode, lacking flexibility and intelligence, and failing to meet the diverse needs of various application scenarios. Furthermore, existing systems exhibit limitations in adjustment accuracy, response speed, and stability, and are easily affected by external interference. Additionally, some drive control systems are complex in design, costly, and have poor adaptability to power supply voltages, limiting their practical application. More importantly, existing technologies often lack real-time monitoring and feedback of the glass state, failing to achieve precise closed-loop control, leading to error accumulation during adjustment and a decline in user experience.
[0004] Therefore, developing a highly efficient, stable, and intelligent dimmable smart glass drive control system to address the problems of insufficient adjustment precision, slow response speed, and poor adaptability in existing technologies is of significant practical importance and has broad market prospects.

[0016] This utility model relates to a drive control system for dimmable smart glass, the specific implementation of which is described in conjunction with the attached diagram. Figure 1 Detailed explanation provided. See attached document. Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a light detection module 1, a voltage regulation module 2, a data processing module 3, a brightness adjustment module 4, a temperature compensation module 5, a display module 6, and a safety protection module 7. These modules are interconnected through signal transmission paths, forming a complete drive control system for achieving precise control of the light intensity, voltage output, brightness adjustment, and temperature changes of the smart glass.
[0017] In actual operation, the light detection module 1 is responsible for collecting light intensity information in the environment and sending the collected light intensity signals to the data processing module 3 for processing. The light detection module 1 can use a high-sensitivity photosensitive sensor to ensure accurate detection of light changes under different environments. To further improve the system's adaptability, this invention also includes an environment simulation unit 8, which can simulate different lighting conditions and send simulated signals to the light detection module 1 to test the system's response capability under various lighting environments. For example, in a laboratory environment, the environment simulation unit 8 can generate strong or weak light signals to verify the system's stability under extreme lighting conditions.
[0018] The voltage regulation module 2 dynamically adjusts the power supply voltage to the smart glass according to the instructions issued by the data processing module 3. The light transmittance of the smart glass is typically related to the applied voltage; therefore, the voltage regulation module 2 needs to have precise voltage output capabilities. In practical applications, the voltage regulation module 2 can adjust the output voltage in real time according to user needs or changes in environmental conditions, thereby altering the light transmittance of the smart glass. For example, during strong sunlight, the system can reduce the voltage to make the glass highly transparent, while at night or in low light conditions, the system can increase the voltage to put the glass into a low-transmittance mode to meet the user's privacy needs.
[0019] The brightness adjustment module 4 is one of the core components of this invention, and it includes a high-brightness adjustment unit 9, a low-brightness adjustment unit 10, a dynamic adjustment unit 11, and a static adjustment unit 12. These units are responsible for handling different brightness adjustment needs and sending the corresponding signals to the data processing module 3 for integration. The high-brightness adjustment unit 9 is mainly used to increase the light transmittance of the glass in strong light environments, while the low-brightness adjustment unit 10 is suitable for reducing light transmittance in low light conditions. The dynamic adjustment unit 11 and the static adjustment unit 12 provide optimization solutions for dynamic light changes and static light conditions, respectively. For example, when a user drives a vehicle through a tunnel, the dynamic adjustment unit 11 can quickly respond to changes in light intensity and adjust the light transmittance of the glass, thereby avoiding visual discomfort caused by sudden changes in light.
[0020] The temperature compensation module 5 compensates for temperature changes in the smart glass to ensure its normal operation under different temperature conditions. This module includes a heating compensation unit 13 and a cooling compensation unit 14, used to handle low-temperature and high-temperature environments, respectively. In cold winters, the heating compensation unit 13 can prevent frost or ice formation on the glass surface by applying appropriate heat; while in hot summers, the cooling compensation unit 14 can reduce the glass temperature through a heat dissipation mechanism to prevent performance degradation due to overheating. The signal from the temperature compensation module 5 is also sent to the data processing module 3 for processing, enabling it to work collaboratively with other modules.
[0021] The data processing module 3 is the core control unit of the entire system. Its main function is to receive, analyze, and process signals from various modules, and send the processing results to other modules. In this invention, the data processing module 3 processes the signals from the light detection module 1, voltage regulation module 2, brightness regulation module 4, and temperature compensation module 5 in a fixed order. This sequential processing method ensures efficient operation of the system in complex environments. For example, when the light detection module 1 detects a change in the intensity of external light, the data processing module 3 first analyzes the light intensity signal, then adjusts the output voltage of the voltage regulation module 2 based on the analysis results, and simultaneously coordinates the working states of the brightness regulation module 4 and the temperature compensation module 5 to achieve comprehensive control of the smart glass.
[0022] Display module 6 is used to display the current light intensity, voltage output, brightness status, and temperature information in real time. This module includes a touchscreen unit 15 and a backlight unit 16. The touchscreen unit 15 uses capacitive touchscreen technology, allowing users to view and adjust system parameters via touch. The backlight unit 16 automatically turns on in low-light environments to ensure clear visibility of the displayed content. For example, when a user wants to know the light transmittance of the smart glass, they can view the specific numerical information through the touchscreen unit 15 and manually adjust the relevant parameters as needed.
[0023] The safety protection module 7 monitors the safety of the system during operation, particularly whether the light intensity exceeds a preset range. This module has a light intensity threshold; when the light intensity signal sent by the light detection module 1 exceeds or falls below this threshold, the safety protection module 7 immediately triggers an alarm and sends a signal to the data processing module 3, requesting it to take appropriate protective measures. For example, in excessively bright light, the system automatically reduces the light transmittance of the glass to protect the user's eyes; while in insufficient light, the system increases the light transmittance to ensure clear vision. Furthermore, the safety protection module 7 can also monitor whether the output voltage of the voltage regulation module 2 is abnormal, thereby preventing equipment damage caused by excessively high or low voltage.
[0024] In practical applications, the drive control system of this invention can be widely used in building curtain walls, automotive sunroofs, and smart homes. For example, in building curtain wall applications, the system can automatically adjust the light transmittance of the glass according to changes in external light intensity, thereby achieving energy-saving effects. In automotive sunroof applications, the system can adjust the sunroof glass status in real time according to the light intensity and temperature conditions inside the vehicle, providing a comfortable driving experience for the driver and passengers. In the smart home field, users can remotely control the light transmittance of the smart glass through the touch screen unit 15, thereby achieving personalized customization.
[0025] In summary, this invention achieves comprehensive control of smart glass through the coordinated operation of the light detection module 1, voltage adjustment module 2, data processing module 3, brightness adjustment module 4, temperature compensation module 5, display module 6, and safety protection module 7. This system not only automatically adjusts the light transmittance of the glass according to changes in environmental conditions, but also provides real-time feedback on the current status through the display module 6, and ensures stable system operation through the safety protection module 7. As can be seen from the above specific embodiments, this invention has high practicality and reliability, and can meet the usage needs in different scenarios.
