Definitions

  • the usual components for fitting windows of buildings include:
  • the first glazing creates the "Green house effect", and allows full incident solar radiation. Likewise it cannot return the reflected sun radiation by the objects that are behind the glazing.
  • the modern architecture propose the maximum space with glass in the façade, it is a continue succession of windows. It is a good way, so that it is not only an aesthetic effect but also a good way to get sunlight, the glass has a good environmetal behaviour, it is the best means to get a good exterior view, it is very easy to clean and to conserve; however the problem with the sun charge is very big with this trend. All the tries to reduce the problem using blinds in the middle of the double glazing, using special glasses which have absorption or reflection effect of the sun radiation: using things like "climatit” or others... are very poor solutions, comparing with the use of exterior blind with a rational design.
  • the solution is usually to use blinds with roll up sheets; the structure concept is good because the normal wind charge is supported normally, but it does not allow to repel the direct sun radiation and if it is necessary a good illumination level. It also has a big box in the high position of the window, and this box is an architectural and constructive problem, above all in the big windows. The reliability of these blinds is very bad, these broken easily and sometimes these have air leaks as a consequence of bad seals.
  • the glazing With cold temperature, the glazing shall be closed because it has a good thermal protection, while the blind is open because the light is not enough. In this condition, the thermal protection of the glass is the only heating resistance, and it is very poor for normal glasses. So the heating lost through the glass is very important in a standard window and with cold weather. This affects the heating cost. Normally, it is used the double glazing effect, that is thermally good, but expensive and it has cleaning problems. The rational blind has to have a good solution for thermal losses doing the same effect that the double glazing in cold seasons.
  • the main component of the system is the "mosquito net effect" blind; it is shown in figure 1, in the extended position (no pick up).
  • This component has one transparent plane element (1) to the light but the flow of insects and other objects is stopped, provided that foreign object has enough size.
  • the transparent plane is the base of the elements whose name is "SHEET” (2).
  • the sheet have a rectangular shape, with one of the longer sides onto the hinge (1); the other longer side has a hinge (B) too, with the mobile element (3); also it is plane; it has the same characteristics that the element (1) or to be only a assembly of strings or strips.
  • the planes of the elements (1) and (3) are always parallels.
  • the element (1) is supported perimetrically on its dedicated support (4) that fits in the window frame or in the window opening.
  • the material of these elements (1) and (3) can be a net, a plastic film, a glass, a joint of ribbons or threads depending on the applications, but always having high transparency to the light.
  • the sheets (2) are rectangles and the section is defined, depending on the net (4) size and characteristic and the dimensions (d), (r), (s) and (p).
  • the articulations (A) and (B) can have different constructive solutions. They could be hinges or holes in the elements (1) and (3) and penetrations of the elements (2) or viceversa; or it is possible also to do a simple fold to the elements (1) and (3) over the sheets (2), etc.
  • the sheets (2) are made of opaque material, plastic, wood, etc. Also it is possible to retract the joint of the sheets (2) and the elements (1) and (3). The sheets are run up, and the elements (1) and (3) are folded. All the joint is situated on the top side of the net and the window is free of the elements.
  • the mechanism is automatucally run up by means of strings and pulleys with an electrical engine, or manually; depending on the option selected.
  • Figure 2 shows a representation of the partial position.
  • the joint of element (1), sheets (2) and element (3) are hanging on the element called "hanger" (5).
  • the hanger keeps up the top side of the element (1) and the hanger is easily kept up at the top of the net (4).
  • the joint of elements (1), (2), (3) and (5) is replaceable for the winter and the summer.
  • the spare for the winter has the transparent elements (1) and (3).
  • the spare for the summer allows the air flows but not the insects.
  • the net (4) is normally fixed to the opening window, but sometimes, if the customer wants, it is possible to put hinges on the top of the window opening; with this option all the joint is used like a sunshade (fig. 3).
  • the mechanism (6) used to put the sunshade configuration has a system with strings and pulleys. The movement can be automatic or manual. It has an option with lateral fan-shaped elements; with this option the flow of sun radiation is stopped in some sun positions.
  • the geometry configuration of the blind, integrated by the elements (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) is represented in figure 1. It has a solution with the articulations A and B of the sheets (2) in horizontal position. The solution that has the articulation A and B in vertical position, is right too.
  • the position of the net (4) is normally vertical, but it is possible to use the system in horizontal or inclined angle.
  • the blind has a system, with electric engines, that has the capability to select the appropriate position.
  • the user has a control box with switches.
  • the box can be near or far from the window, and the box in connected with an electric cable to the blind.
  • the user sometimes in a day has to push the switch if he wants to keep enough illumination without sun radiation in the room.
  • the blind is an "intelligent system".
  • the blind has a sun radiation sensor on the element (1).
  • the sensor is always positioned towards the exterior when the sensor received a direct sun radiation it gives an order to change the sheet angle until the sensor does not receive the direct sun radiation. In this condition, the room has enough light but does not receive the direct sun radiation.
  • the logic of the system is very simple (fig.4), so that the system wants to keep a flow of illumination through the window between two values; Imax. and Imin. If the illumination is between the two values, the system does not do anything. If the incident illumination is bigger than Imax the system gives an order to close the sheets and the illumination becomes less or equal to Imax. When the illumination received on the sensor is less than Imin, the system gives the order to open the sheets.
  • the interval between Imax and Imin will be selected by the user in order to have the best comfort in the room.
  • the electronic system is very easy to be made with "Photo-Diode” and "Photo-resist”, and this circuit is made and tested.
  • This option has all the switches of the electro-mechanic system and one switch for manual or automatic.
