Abstract

The most important functions of a window are providing visibility of the outside, ventilating air, and providing light. However, curtains are inevitable when it comes to windows. In this design, slats were placed on the inner and outer sides of the window. These slats are capable of full extension and retraction. The designs made by the holes on different slats are different, such that they scatter light in the form of geometric shapes. These slats reduce the incoming light and the visibility of the indoor space from the outside. Moreover, a plate called the window film is in the middle of this window. This plate can be extended to block light from entering the internal space. In hot seasons, the fan sucks in the outside air and pushes it over the wood wool to cool it down, after which it pushes the cool air into the indoor space.

A roller shutter is movably installed at the position of an output shaft of the motor, a control switch is fixedly installed on the front face of the frame, a sash window is movably installed on the inner side of the window body.

[0007] The structure of this inventions is completely different from the proposed design.

[0008] The operational principles of the designed window are as follows: The window is equipped with slats on the inner and outer sides. These slats have holes that form a geometrical shape. The slats can be fully extended or retracted. The holes in these slats allow light to pass through while reducing the visibility of the indoor space from the outside. Sometimes, one may need no lights and want to darken the indoor space. For this purpose, we have embedded window film in the middle of the double-glazed window. Activating this window film darkens the indoor space. In hot seasons, a system is needed in hotter regions for cooling the indoor space. For this purpose, an evaporative cooling system was designed in the window that includes a water tank, a pump, a fan, a vent, and wood wool. In this system, the fans suck air from outside, which is cooled down by passing over the wood wool and then enters the indoor space. When the cooler and the vents are not used, the vents can be closed in order to reduce energy loss. Moreover, the closed vents prevent the entrance of dust or insects into the indoor space. These windows can be easily installed on all walls. The light entering through the holes during the day is scattered into a visually pleasing pattern inside. The same happens on the outside at night, giving the building an aesthetic value.

[0009] In this design, we have eliminated the evaporative cooling system and associated ducts. Instead, we have added a similar cooling system to the window. This scheme takes up a smaller space and dissipates less energy than the conventional evaporative cooler. Using this window, one does not need to open the curtains to use cool air from outside. Curtains have been eliminated by the design of this window. When no light is needed, the window film can be activated, and, at the same time, cool air from outside can be allowed to enter. This window reduces energy consumption and costs less than similar products.

[0010] The most important functions of a window are providing visibility of the outside, ventilating air, and providing light. However, curtains are inevitable when it comes to windows. Although windows are seldom used without curtains, they obstruct the functionality of windows. For example, curtains must be drawn open in order to allow air ventilation through the window. In this design, slats were installed on the inside and outside of the window with geometric designs on the slats that scatter the incoming light into an aesthetic design. These slats reduce the visibility of the indoor space and, hence, can replace curtains. When no light is needed indoors, the window film in the middle of the double-glazed glass can be activated to prevent the passage of light. In addition, the cooling systems embedded in the window can provide cool air in hot seasons and eliminate the need for evaporative coolers. The internal space can be fully darkened using the window film. As an alternative method, the incoming light can be limited using the slats while still allowing cool air to enter the space.

[0011] This design reduces energy consumption and building costs. It also adds an aesthetic quality to the building. Moreover, this design is able to limit or fully obstruct the incoming light without the need for curtains. It can also be installed on various types of walls. Furthermore, the vents reduce the entrance of dust or insects into the indoor space.

[0013] [Rectified under Rule 91, 08.08.2023][Fig.1]

[0014] This window includes slats on the outer and inner sides with the ability to be extended and retracted (8). A motor (14) was installed at the bottom of these slats in order to move them. Sometimes, no light is desired. For these cases, a plate (10) was installed in the middle of the double-glazed glass that can be activated to block light from outside (9). At the bottom of the window (lower side), there is a water tank (2) with a buoy (17) for controlling the water level in the tank. Also, the design includes a pump (12) for transporting water to the wood wool (11). The wood wool is installed along with the fan mount (4) on a panel (3). The fan (5), which is installed on the fan mount, draws in air from outside and pushes it over the wood wool (11) and into the indoor space (5) through the vent (21). A plate is installed on the fan (5) space over which the top opening of the window frame (6) is located. On the inside of the bottom of the window, there is a control section that contains the cooling system control switches and the electronic board (7). There are switches (16) on this board for controlling the window. Moreover, there is a display (15) on the control panel at the top of the window frame (1). The double-glazed glass (10) is made up of several parts: the first pane (18), the second pane (19), and a metal strip (20) in between.Examples

Claims

This window is a product that can be installed on various types of walls. It has double-glazed glass in the middle with a plate, called a window film, attached to it. This plate can be activated to prevent light from entering. There are slats on the inside and outside of the window with holes in them that form geometric patterns. The holes in these slats allow light to pass through while reducing the visibility of the indoor space from the outside. As a result, there will be no need for curtains. When light shines on the slats, it passes through the geometrically distributed holes and, therefore, enters the indoor space in a visually pleasing form. These slats can be extended or retracted. There is a cooling system at the bottom of the product that guides cool air into the internal space. This part is made up of the following components:A fan (including a suction and a blowing part) and cooler ventsA water pump and a water tankCooling system control switches and an electronic boardBased on Claim 1, geometric patterns are formed by the empty spaces in the slats that allow light to pass through. During the day, the window acts as a light painting on the inside. The opposite is true at night, when light shines from the inside to the outside, and this light pattern appears on the façade of the building. This limits the amount of light passing through and the visibility of the inside from the outside, hence maintaining privacy. The slats can be extended, retracted, and replaced with slats having different geometric designs. This will eliminate the need for curtains on the window.Based on Claim 1, two identical fans were designed for sucking in the inside air, cooling it by passing it over the wood wool, and then pushing it into the indoor space. Cooling and rapidly transferring air without the need for long ducts results in the fast cooling of the indoor space and eliminates the need for other cooling systems. The cooler vent can be closed when not required in order to prevent the entrance of dust and insects and prevent energy loss via its low air permeability coefficient.According to Claims 1, 2, and 3, the window film is attached to the double-glazed glass in the middle of the window. [unclear] Activating the window film completely blocks light. However, cool air can still flow in from the cooler vents.Based on Claims 1 and 3, a water pump and a water tank were designed at the bottom of the window. The pump transfers water from the tank onto the wood wool.Based on Claim 1, touch-activated cooler control switches and an electronic board were designed on the window frame. The board is responsible for turning the cooling system on and off and setting the rpm at high or low. It is also tasked with extending and retracting the window film and the slats.
