To Develop a New Electric Aluminium Blinds Based on Infrared Remote Control Technology
Authors: ,
Abstract: The conventional aluminium blinds have many outstanding functions, for example, closed off over daylight, sun shading, environment decorating, less dissipated energy consumption in air-conditioner and lighting system. However some critical problems have not solved yet. First, the inclined angle of blinds is over relied upon user. The operation efficiency is too low to use. Second, some media reported that the operation rope of aluminium blinds used for adjusting the inclining angle of blinds wind around child and even lose their live finally. Third, the total indoor room decoration would be destroyed in order to install aluminium blinds body. Fourth, the operation of traditional aluminium blinds can only be controlled by people directly by using their hands. Because of designed unfriendly, it is inconvenient and not comfortable. Therefore, this paper presents a new compound electric aluminium blind which is composed of most mechanical mechanism of the traditional aluminium and limited manufacturing cost. Alternating current (AC) power line, battery or adapter (DC), or even solar cell can be selected as the power source of the proposed electric aluminium blinds. No operation rope is needed again. The amount of wind around events for home children should then be decreased or disappeared completely. Since the infrared remote controlling equipment is introduced in new aluminium blinds system, users need not operate and touch the compound electric aluminium blinds directly and the operating range of equipment is also increased too. Especially, the total indoor room decoration will not be affected or destructed due to the affiliation of aluminium blinds. When the intensity of outdoor daylight is strong enough, the PV is naturally chosen as the power of compound electric aluminium blinds. This is a practical step to pursue the object of green buildings. The economic value of these compound electric aluminium blinds would be as well as promoted.
