Background Technology

[0003] Recently, wearable devices that can be worn on the body are gaining attention as a key next-generation technology and industry.

[0004] Following Google's launch of 'Google Glass,' Samsung, Sony, Qualcomm, and others competed to sell watch-type and band-type devices.

[0005] Representative wearable devices include smart glasses, smart watches, smart bracelets, and smart shoes, and their applications are expanding from those with special purposes such as military and firefighting to life assistance, health management, infotainment, and human capability enhancement.

[0006] As sales and demand for wearable devices increase, the development of effective power sources capable of supplying the power required for wearable devices is also receiving attention.

[0007] As an effective power source, solar power is attracting significant attention because it utilizes the sun without the burden of environmental pollution and can provide an infinite energy supply.

[0008] Powering wearable devices using solar energy is expected to significantly contribute to enhancing IT-based convenience in daily life. For instance, it may reduce the need to carry separate batteries for various electronic devices for leisure activities or to make efforts to supply insufficient power. Furthermore, it is projected that for military use, electricity required for combat, long-distance travel, and survival in extreme environments can be generated and utilized directly on-site in operational zones.

[0009] Accordingly, there are technical attempts to utilize power using solar energy in the form of wearables.

[0010] Among the disclosed linear patent documents, there exists "Dye-sensitized solar cell including a woven fiber (Registration No. 10-1554992, Patent Document 1)".

[0011] The technical gist of the invention according to Patent Document 1 is that, in a dye-sensitized solar cell comprising a woven fiber, the woven fiber comprises a plurality of conductive wires arranged parallel along the longitudinal direction, a plurality of insulating wires arranged along the longitudinal direction between the plurality of conductive wires, a cross-insulating wire woven in a direction intersecting the conductive wires and insulating wires while passing between the conductive wires and insulating wires, and a cross-conductive wire woven in a direction intersecting the conductive wires so as to come into contact with the plurality of conductive wires; an electrolyte impregnated in the regions of the insulating wires and cross-insulating wires; and a photoelectrode applied to one side of the woven fiber and a counter electrode applied to the other side of the woven fiber with the electrolyte in between. By doing so, the conductive wires and insulating wires on which the photoelectrode, counter electrode, and electrolyte are located can be woven simultaneously, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process and reducing manufacturing time and cost. In addition, applying the photoelectrode and counter electrode after weaving provides the effect of preventing damage to the photoelectrode and counter electrode during the weaving process.

[0012] In addition, there exists a "woven dye-sensitized solar cell using a braided material (Registration No. 10-1678172, Patent Document 2)".

[0013] The technical gist of the invention according to Patent Document 2 relates to a woven dye-sensitized solar cell using a braided material, characterized by a braided body formed by using a counter electrode metal wire, having a counter electrode formed on its outer surface, as a core material and braiding an insulating wire on the outside thereof; a woven fiber fabric formed by forming a photoelectrode metal wire, having a photoelectrode formed on its outer surface, using the braided body and the photoelectrode metal wire as weft or warp threads, and sealing the woven fiber fabric using a transparent sealing member filled with an electrolyte. Accordingly, a flexible and mechanically excellent dye-sensitized solar cell is formed without using a TCO (Transparent Conducting Oxide) substrate, and it has the advantages of being based on the braided material, not being constrained by size and shape, being heat-treatable based on metal and glass fiber wires, and being recyclable.

[0014] In addition, there exists a "method for manufacturing a solar cell including fibers (Registration No. 10-1731540, Patent Document 3)."

[0015] The invention according to Patent Document 3 relates to a fiber including a flexible solar cell and a method for manufacturing the same. A solar cell including a fiber according to the present invention comprises a first electrode, a second electrode having a polarity different from that of the first electrode, a pn junction layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, an ARC disposed adjacent to the first electrode or the pn junction layer, a first electrode, the second electrode, the pn junction layer, and a fiber formed to surround the first electrode, the second electrode, the pn junction layer, and the ARC from the outside of the ARC.

[0016] Most of the conventional technical literature has focused solely on research regarding how to achieve photovoltaic power generation in fibers, lacking an approach concerning the systematic combination of fibers. Prior art literature

[0046] The solar fabric system for controlling flame retardancy or non-combustibility through area formation according to the present invention comprises a fabric unit (100), an electronic control unit (200), and a protection unit (300).

[0047] The fabric unit (100) is formed of electronic fiber (10), has a preset virtual area, and generates electrical energy from solar energy.

[0048] In the case of electronic fiber (10), it corresponds to a fiber capable of generating solar power, and as a fiber, it may be possible to produce it in the form of a fabric or cloth.

[0049] The fabric unit (100) is provided with a plurality of electronic fibers (10), and the electronic fibers (10) form a single thread, and the electronic fibers (10) form a fabric or cloth in the form of a fabric bundle.

[0050] As illustrated in FIG. 1, the fabric unit (100) may be provided in the form of clothing. Additionally, the fabric unit (100) may be provided in the form of a curtain, sunshade, etc.

[0051] The electronic control unit (200) controls the insulation within a preset virtual area of ​​the fabric unit (100).

[0052] Control of insulation refers to controlling the flow of electricity or heat, meaning controlling the transfer of electricity or heat.

[0053] The protection unit (300) provides non-combustibility within a preset virtual area of ​​the fabric unit (100).

[0054] In the case of non-combustibility provided by the protection unit (300), it is preferable to form non-combustibility by providing a non-combustible material on the fabric unit (100).

[0055] It is desirable that the non-combustible material be subject to the principles and material properties of existing non-combustible materials, and the non-combustible material be provided on the fabric unit (100) to have the property of not burning.

[0056] A preset virtual area of ​​a solar fabric system that controls flame retardancy or non-combustibility through area formation according to the present invention is partitioned on a fabric unit (100) through a virtual section line, and the virtual section line can be arbitrarily set.

[0057] A virtual section line sets up a plurality of virtual areas within a fabric unit (100), and the virtual areas are provided as independent areas within the fabric unit (100).

[0058] A virtual section line corresponds to a conceptually formed line and does not correspond to a line that can be verified through a visually drawn line or bulkhead.

[0059] A virtual section line can refer to a virtual boundary established to distinguish a conceptually pre-set virtual area.

[0060] A pre-set virtual area can also correspond to a conceptually set area.

[0061] In the case of a protection unit (100) of a solar fabric system that controls flame retardancy or non-combustibility through area formation according to the present invention, external heat applied from the outside is detected on a preset virtual area, and external heat provided on the upper part within the preset virtual area is offset.

[0062] As described above, the external heat is offset by providing a non-combustible material to the electronic fiber (10), thereby offsetting the external heat provided to the electronic fiber (10) through the non-combustible material.

[0063] Additionally, the protection unit (300) can detect external heat on a preset virtual area and offset external heat within the virtual area.

[0064] The electronic control unit (200) of the solar fabric system for controlling flame retardancy or non-combustibility through area formation according to the present invention is configured to include a temperature change detection unit (210) and a power isolation unit (220).

[0065] The temperature change detection unit (210) detects a temperature change within a preset virtual area.

[0066] The power isolation unit (220) stops the power flow of the electronic fiber (10) within the virtual area when a temperature change is detected in at least one of the preset virtual areas.

[0067] For example, if external heat is provided on a preset virtual area, a change in temperature can be detected depending on the external heat.

[0068] In the case of temperature changes, temperature changes can be detected in a preset virtual area by external heat corresponding to external fire and flame, in addition to solar heat and radiant heat.

[0069] In the case of the temperature change detection unit (210), it is preferable to detect external heat such as solar heat and radiant heat, but for the power isolation unit (220), it is preferable to isolate power for a predetermined temperature rather than isolating power for all temperature changes.

[0070] The power isolation unit (220) can interrupt the partial power flow of the electronic fiber (10) within the preset virtual area when a change in temperature is detected within the preset virtual area.

[0071] In addition, control of not only partial power flow but also overall power flow may be possible, and this can be set according to the degree of temperature change and the degree of temperature maintenance.

[0072] The electronic control unit (200) of the solar fabric system for controlling flame retardancy or non-combustibility through area formation according to the present invention detects a temperature change in a random area of ​​a preset virtual area on the fabric unit (100) at random times when a predetermined heat is provided on the upper surface of the fabric unit (100), and senses whether the temperature in the random area persists.

[0073] The electronic control unit (200) senses whether a certain amount of heat is sustained on the fabric unit (100), and can detect whether the temperature is sustained in a random area.

[0074] For example, if a certain amount of heat is continuously detected from the outside, it may correspond to a fire situation, and if heat is continuously detected from the outside, the power isolation unit (220) can stop the power flow of all fabric units (100).

[0075] In addition, if heat is not continuously detected from the outside, for example, if any heat is provided, the power isolation unit (220) can isolate only the power flow for some areas.

[0076] In the case of a random area, it can be selected as an arbitrary area, and in the case of a random time, it can correspond to an arbitrary time.

[0077] Random time can correspond to continuous random time, or to discontinuous time as arbitrary time.

[0078] The fabric unit (100) of the solar fabric system that controls flame retardancy or non-combustibility through area formation according to the present invention absorbs solar energy from the outer surface and generates electrical energy from the solar energy.

[0079] For example, in the case of the electronic fiber (10), it may correspond to a fiber as a solar power generation material, and it is desirable that the electronic fiber (10) itself be provided with excellent strength, flexibility, and ease of handling.

[0080] In addition, for the electronic fiber (10) to be used as a fabric or material, waterproofing may be an essential requirement.

[0081] In addition, for non-combustibility, the surface of the electronic fiber (10) may further include a non-combustible material.

[0082] In the case of the principle by which the electronic fiber (10) generates electrical energy, it is made to be subject to the existing fiber bundle power generation principle that enables solar power generation as a fiber through review papers on the relevant industry (Fiber-Type Solar Cells, Nanogenerators, Batteries, and Supercapacitors for Wearable Applications, Adv. Sci. 2018, 5, 180034.).

[0083] The electronic fiber (10) of the solar fabric system for controlling flame retardancy or non-combustibility through area formation according to the present invention controls the density of the electronic fiber within the preset virtual area according to the desired energy density within the preset virtual area.

[0084] A desired energy density is set within a preset virtual area within the fabric unit (100), and the density of electronic fibers can be set differently for each preset virtual area according to the desired energy density.

[0085] In the case of the density of the fabric unit (100), it may appear as a difference in energy density, and as the energy density increases, the area to absorb solar energy may increase, and the increase in density may increase the efficiency of solar energy.

[0086] For example, if the density of electronic fibers (10) provided within a preset virtual area increases, the number of electronic fibers (10) intended to absorb solar energy within the preset virtual divided area increases, and the solar efficiency within the same area within the fabric unit (100) can be increased.

[0087] The solar fabric system for controlling flame retardancy or non-combustibility through area formation according to the present invention allows at least one of the connected form of the electronic fiber (10), the combination of the fabric unit (100), and the density to be controlled for each preset area.

[0088] In the case of the connected form of the electronic fiber (10), the form of weaving between the electronic fibers (10), that is, as shown in FIG. 6, may mean that the connected form of the fiber bundle is set differently.

[0089] This may mean that the connection form between electronic fibers (10) is different, that is, as shown in FIG. 6, the weave form of the electronic fibers is set differently.

[0090] In addition, for connected combinations, as shown in FIGS. 7 and FIGS. 8, the combinations for the fabric unit (100) can be set individually.

[0091] For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the weave of electronic fibers (10) is set within a preset virtual area, and a combination of fabric units (100) is formed, so that the weave of electronic fibers (10) can be formed differently according to the preset virtual area as in FIG. 7.

[0092] As the combination of the connected form of the electronic fiber (10) and the fabric unit (100) is set differently, the texture of the fabric and the design of the fabric can be set differently.

[0093] Additionally, as shown in FIG. 8, the density of the electronic fiber (10) can be adjusted, and the density may correspond to the density of the electronic fiber (10) per area, and as the density increases, the number of electronic fibers (10) may increase.

[0094] The fabric unit (100) sets the connected form, combination, and density of the electronic fiber (10) differently for each preset virtual area, and it is preferable that the connected form, combination, and density of various electronic fibers (10) can be individually set even on a single fabric unit (100).

[0095] The electronic control unit (200) of the solar fabric system for controlling flame retardancy or non-combustibility through area formation according to the present invention may further include an electric control unit (230).

[0096] In the case of the electric control unit (230), it controls the generation of electrical energy of the electronic fiber (10) and controls the generation of power from the electronic fiber (10).

[0097] The electric control unit (230) can control power generated in the electronic fiber (10), as well as power interrupted in the electronic fiber (10).

[0098] The scope of rights of the present invention is determined by the matters described in the patent claims, and the parentheses used in the patent claims are not intended for optional limitation but for clear components, and the descriptions within the parentheses should also be interpreted as essential components.
