The means is characterized in that when the sunrise is detected directly or indirectly by the sunrise detection means, the curtain is closed regardless of opening / closing of the window. In this aspect, the action related to aspect 1 is obtained. Furthermore, in this aspect, when the sunrise is detected by the sunrise detection means, the curtain is closed regardless of whether the window is opened or closed, so that the sunlight is prevented from entering the room and the user's sleep state is ensured.

  (6) According to the building window automatic opening and closing device according to aspect 6, in the above aspect, the waking detection means for detecting a physical quantity (for example, time, light, sound) relating to the user's waking is provided, and the control means is When the user's awakening is detected by the awakening detection means, the curtain is opened regardless of opening / closing of the window. In this aspect, the action related to aspect 1 is obtained. Furthermore, in this aspect, when the user's awakening is detected, the curtain is automatically opened regardless of the opening / closing of the window, so that the user's awakening is improved.

(7) According to the building window automatic opening / closing device according to aspect 7, in the above aspect, when the user is in the sleep state, the control means detects the outdoor weather information and the indoor environment detected by the outdoor weather information detection means. Based on the indoor environmental conditions detected by the condition detection means, a value related to the discomfort index or discomfort index is obtained, and the opening degree of the window is set so as to increase the comfort level of the user based on the value related to the discomfort index or discomfort index. The window opening / closing mechanism is controlled according to the opening of the window. In this aspect, the action related to aspect 1 is obtained. The above-mentioned discomfort index means an index obtained based on the body temperature and room temperature.
For example, the discomfort index is obtained as follows.
Discomfort index = 0.81 × temperature of experience (° C.) + 0.01 × room humidity × (0.99 × temperature of experience (° C.) − 14.3) +46.3
The discomfort index may be obtained as follows.
Discomfort index = 40.6 + 0.72 (td + tw)
Here, td represents the dry bulb temperature (° C.) of the moisture meter, and represents the wet bulb temperature (° C.) of the moisture meter. The value related to the discomfort index means a value corresponding to a range of plus or minus 15% with respect to the numerical value of the discomfort index itself.

  According to the present invention, when the user is in the sleep state, the control means can detect the window based on the outdoor weather information detected by the outdoor weather information detection means and the indoor environment conditions detected by the indoor environment condition detection means. The opening degree of the window is adjusted by controlling the window opening / closing mechanism according to the opening degree of the window so as to set the opening degree and increase the comfort level of the user. As a result, even when it is difficult to sleep, such as in summer, the user's comfortable sleep state is maintained.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on respective examples.

  1 to 7 show a first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the window opening / closing mechanism 1 is provided on a window fixing frame 2 having a window opening 2a of a building, and moves the openable / closable window to open / close the window opening 2a. The window opening / closing mechanism 1 is formed by a driven roller (driven body) 10 provided on the window fixing frame 2, a driving roller 11 (driving body) provided on the window fixing frame 2, and a motor that rotates the driving roller 11. A window actuator 13 (drive source) and a wire-like endless body 14 installed between the driven roller 10 and the drive roller 11.

  The window fixing frame 2 has two vertical fixing frames 20 extending in the vertical direction facing each other and two horizontal fixing frames 22 extending in the horizontal direction facing each other. The window 3 is a slide opening / closing type and includes a first window 31 and a second window 32. The first window 31 has a window main body 31a and a movable frame 31c provided at the edge of the window main body 31a. The second window 32 is the same, and has a window main body 32a and a movable frame 32c provided at the edge of the window main body 32a. The endless body 14 is connected to the movable frame 31c of the window 3 via a connector 31x. When the window actuator 13 is driven, the endless body 14 is moved, and the window 3 is moved together with the movable frame 31c to be opened and closed. The window actuator 13 is formed of a motor and incorporates a sensor (for example, a hall element) that detects the number of rotations of the window actuator 13. A signal indicating the number of rotations of the window actuator 13 (corresponding to the opening / closing amount of the window 3) is input to the control device 4. The control device 4 includes a case 40, a receiving unit 41, a memory 42, a CPU 43, an input processing circuit 44, and an output processing circuit 45. The CPU 43 outputs a control signal to the drive circuit 13 d of the window actuator 13 via the output processing circuit 45. The control device 4 may be embedded inside the window fixing frame 2 or may be exposed outside the window fixing frame 2.

  As shown in FIG. 1, an air conditioner 47 having a cooling and / or heating function and an illuminating lamp 48 for illuminating the room are provided in the room. A movable remote controller 5 placed at the user's hand is provided. The remote controller 5 is for manual operation, and includes a power switch 50, an automatic control switch 51 for performing automatic opening / closing control for automatically opening and closing the window 3, a sleep switch 52 (sleep detection means) that is operated when the user sleeps, Each switch or signal of each sensor is sent to a wake sensor 53 (wake detection means) that is also a wake switch that is operated by a user who wakes up from a sleep state and detects a wake. A transmitter 54 that transmits wirelessly, a room temperature sensor 56 (room temperature detection means), an indoor humidity sensor 57 (indoor humidity detection means), an indoor wind speed sensor 58 (indoor wind speed detection means), and an awake switch 53 are provided.

  In winter and the like, since the user does not turn on the automatic control switch 51 of the remote controller 5, the control for automatically opening and closing the window 3 is not executed. In summer and the like, the user often turns on the automatic control switch 51 of the remote controller 5. Signals from the switches of the remote controller 5 are input from the transmitter 54 of the remote controller 5 to the receiver 41 of the control device 4.

  When the automatic control switch 51 of the remote controller 5 is ON, automatic opening / closing control for automatically opening / closing the window 3 is executed. When the automatic control switch 51 of the remote controller 5 is turned off, automatic opening / closing control for automatically opening / closing the window 3 is not executed, and the user manually opens / closes the window 3.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the vertical fixed frame 20 of the window fixed frame 2 fixed to the building is provided with a weather sensor 6 (outdoor weather information detecting means) that detects outdoor weather information. The weather sensor 6 includes an outdoor temperature sensor 61 (outside temperature detection means) that detects the outside air temperature, an outdoor wind speed sensor 62 (outdoor wind speed detection means) that detects the outdoor wind speed, and an outdoor humidity sensor 63 (outdoors) that detects the outdoor humidity. Humidity detection means), a rain sensor 64, and a sunrise sensor 65. The outdoor wind speed sensor 62 is exemplified by a sensor that generates heat by the heating unit and detects the amount of heat taken by the wind. In this case, the outdoor wind speed sensor 62 may be a diode-type thermal anemometer, but may be a windmill type or an ultrasonic type. The same applies to the indoor wind speed sensor. Although the rain sensor 64 has the conductive electrode 64c in which a conduction path is formed by rainwater, the present invention is not limited to this, and a method in which the amount of collected current is changed may be used. The sunrise sensor 65 is formed by an optical sensor.

  FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of a main routine executed by the control device 4. FIG. 5 shows a flowchart of an automatic control subroutine executed by the control device 4. The flowchart of this main routine starts when the power switch 50 of the remote controller 5 is turned on as shown in FIG. The control device 4 determines whether or not the automatic control switch 51 according to the device of the present invention is turned on (step S12). If the automatic control switch 51 of the remote controller 5 is ON (step S12 is ON), execution of an automatic control subroutine for automatically opening and closing the window 3 is started (step S14). If the automatic control switch 51 is not turned on (OFF in step S12), the execution of the automatic control subroutine for automatically opening and closing the window 3 is not started, and the user manually outputs a manual operation signal for opening and closing the window 3. (Step S16), the process returns to Step S12.

  FIG. 5 shows an automatic control subroutine for automatically opening and closing the window 3. As shown in FIG. 5, the outside air temperature is read, and it is determined whether or not the outside air temperature is excessively low (step S202). When the outside air temperature is excessively low (low temperature in step S202), it is preferable not to automatically open and close the window 3 in order to maintain the physical condition of the user even if the automatic control switch 51 is turned on. Therefore, when the outside air temperature is excessively low, the process returns to the main routine. Thus, even if the automatic control switch 51 of the remote controller 5 is erroneously turned on in winter or the like, the automatic opening / closing of the window 3 is not executed when the outside air temperature is too low. When the outside air temperature exceeds the threshold temperature, the outside air temperature is appropriate (the appropriate temperature in Step S202), and whether or not the sleep switch 52 of the remote controller 5 is turned on, that is, whether or not the user is in the sleep state. Is determined (step S204). If the user is not in the sleep state (NO in step S204), it is determined whether or not the automatic control switch 51 of the remote controller 5 is ON (step S206). If the automatic control switch 51 is OFF (OFF in step S206), the process returns to the main routine. If the automatic control switch 51 is ON (Step S206 is ON), the process returns to Step S204, and it is determined whether or not the user is in a sleep state (Step S204).

  If the sleep switch 52 of the remote control 5 is turned on and it is determined that the user is sleeping (YES in step S204), the driving of the air conditioner 47 is stopped and the illumination lamp 48 is turned off. A fully closed signal for fully closing the window 3 is transmitted to the actuator 13 (step S208). As a result, the window 3 is once fully closed. Even if the user turns on the automatic control switch 51 of the remote controller 5 as described above, the control for automatically opening and closing the window 3 is not executed unless the user is asleep. The user's sleep is determined by the control device 4 based on whether or not the user has turned on the sleep switch 52 of the remote controller 5.

  Next, it is determined whether the wake-up sensor 53 of the remote controller 5 is turned on, that is, whether or not the user has woken up from falling asleep (step S210). If the wake-up sensor 53 is OFF and the user is still asleep (NO in step S210), outdoor weather information (outside temperature, outdoor wind speed, rainfall) is set to continue the automatic opening / closing control of the window 3. The environmental condition signal (room temperature, indoor wind speed) is read (step S212). In this case, each signal is read once per second, and an average value of a plurality of times (for example, 5 times) can be adopted. However, it is not limited to this.

  Next, it is determined whether it is raining outdoors (step S214). If it is not raining outdoors (NO in step S214), the window 3 may be opened. Therefore, outdoor weather information (outside temperature, outdoor wind speed, rainfall) and information on indoor environmental conditions (room temperature, indoor wind speed) are recorded in the database area stored in the memory 42 (step S218). For a predetermined time (2 minutes), the outdoor weather information and the indoor environmental condition information are recorded in the database area (step S220). If no information is recorded for a predetermined time (2 minutes), the process returns to step S210 via step S222, and reading of the above-described outdoor weather information and indoor environmental conditions is continued and recorded in the database.

  Here, if the automatic control switch 51 of the remote controller 5 is OFF (step S222 OFF), the process returns to the main routine. If the outdoor weather information and the indoor environmental conditions described above are recorded in the database area of the memory 42 for a predetermined time (YES in step S220), the outdoor wind speed data and the outdoor air temperature data are stored for a predetermined time (for example, 2 minutes). ) May be averaged to be the outdoor wind speed and outdoor temperature. In addition, the room temperature change rate (° C./min) per unit time is calculated (step S224). Step S224 functions as a means for obtaining the room temperature change rate.

  Next, the opening degree of the window 3 is set according to the outdoor weather information (outside temperature, outdoor humidity, outdoor wind speed, whether there is rainfall) and the indoor environmental conditions (room temperature, indoor humidity, indoor wind speed). A subroutine for opening and closing the window 3 is executed according to the degree (step S226).

  FIG. 6 shows the contents of a subroutine (step S226) for setting the opening degree of the window 3 and opening and closing the window 3 according to the opening degree. First, the opening degree of the window 3 is read from the map of the memory 42 in accordance with outdoor weather information (outside temperature, outdoor humidity, outdoor wind speed, rainfall) and indoor environmental conditions (room temperature, indoor humidity, indoor wind speed) (steps). S2262). In this map, the opening information of the window 3 is stored so that the opening degree of the window 3 is increased as the outdoor temperature is higher, the outdoor humidity is higher, and the outdoor wind speed is lower. The map stores opening information of the window 3 so that the opening of the window 3 is increased as the room temperature is higher, the indoor humidity is higher, and the indoor wind speed is lower.

  The target opening degree of the window 3 is determined (step S2264). The target opening degree of the window 3 is transmitted to the drive circuit 13d of the window actuator 13 (step S2266). In order to secure the capacity of the memory 42, outdoor weather information (outside temperature, outdoor humidity, outdoor wind speed, rainfall) stored in the database of the memory 42, indoor environmental conditions (room temperature, indoor humidity, indoor wind speed) The information for a predetermined time is reset (step S2268), and the process returns to step S210.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, the opening of the window 3 is determined according to outdoor weather information (outside temperature, outdoor humidity, outdoor wind speed, rainfall) and indoor environmental conditions (room temperature, indoor humidity, indoor wind speed). The degree is set, and the window actuator 13 is driven according to the opening degree of the window 3 to open and close the window 3. As a result, the window 3 is opened and closed according to outdoor weather information and indoor environmental conditions, so that the user can fall asleep comfortably.

  As a result of the determination in step S214, if it is raining outdoors (YES in step S214), the process proceeds from step S214 to step S230, a fully closed signal is transmitted to the window actuator 13, and the window 3 is closed (step S230). . Further, it is determined whether the automatic control switch 51 of the remote controller 5 is ON or OFF (step S232). If it is OFF, the process returns to the main routine. If the automatic control switch 51 of the remote controller 5 is ON (step S232 is ON), the process returns to step S210, and the outdoor weather information (outside temperature, outdoor humidity, outdoor wind speed) as described above until the user wakes up from sleep. Rain) and the indoor environmental conditions (room temperature, indoor humidity, indoor wind speed), the opening degree of the window 3 is set, and the window actuator 13 is driven according to the opening degree of the window 3 to open and close the window 3. Continue the above processing. As a result, the window 3 is opened and closed according to outdoor weather information and indoor environmental conditions, so that even if the driving of the air conditioner 47 is stopped, the user can fall asleep comfortably.

  If the result of determination in step S210 is that the wake-up signal of the remote controller 5 is ON (YES in step S210) and the user is awake from sleep, it is preferable to open the window 3. Therefore, it is determined whether it is raining outdoors (step S236). If it is not raining (NO in step S236), a full open signal is transmitted to the window actuator 13 (step S238), the window 3 is fully opened, and awakening is performed. Promote. If it is raining (YES in step S236), a fully closed signal is transmitted to the window actuator 13 (step S240), a signal for fully closing the window 3 is output, and the process returns to step S204.

(map)
FIG. 7 shows an example of a map in which the processing content (opening information of the window 3) executed by the control device 4 is stored in the memory 42. This map is an example in which the opening degree of the window 3 is determined in consideration of the outdoor wind speed and the room temperature change speed. The map is not limited to this. As shown in FIG. 7 (i), when it is raining outdoors, the window 3 is fully closed so that the rain does not enter the room. As shown in (ii) of FIG. 7, the control law is changed when it is not raining. Hereinafter, a case where it is not raining will be described. That is, as shown in (ii-1), when the outside air temperature exceeds the room temperature on the high temperature side, it is preferable not to allow hot outside air to enter the room, so the window 3 is fully closed.

  As shown in (ii-2), when it is not raining and the outside air temperature is not more than room temperature, it is preferable to open the window 3 to air-condition the room with outside air. Therefore, the increase amount ΔT of the room temperature after the automatic opening / closing control of the window 3 is turned on is detected, and the control is changed according to the increase amount ΔT of the room temperature. Here, when the increase amount ΔT of the room temperature is less than A ° C. and the increase amount ΔT of the room temperature is small, it is preferable not to allow outside air to enter the room, so the window 3 is fully closed. Or it is good also as a minute opening.

  As shown in (ii-2) of FIG. 7, when the outside air temperature is equal to or lower than room temperature, when the room temperature increase ΔT is equal to or higher than A ° C., the increase in room temperature is significant. It is necessary to set the opening of the window.

  That is, when the outdoor wind speed is 0 to Bm / sec (breeze), B to Cm / sec (medium weak), C to Dm / sec (medium strong), Dm / sec. A description will be given separately for the above (strong wind). In this case, the change rate of room temperature is obtained.

  When the outdoor wind speed is slow, such as 0 to Bm / sec, when the room temperature change rate (rising speed) is less than E ° C./min, the room temperature change speed is slow and the burden on the sleeper is small. 3 is fully opened (100%), but when the room temperature change rate (elevation rate) is equal to or higher than E ° C./min (corresponding to the first threshold), the room temperature change rate is fast, so the burden on the sleeper is large. The opening degree of the window 3 is set to a% (a% <100%), and the opening degree of the window 3 is made smaller than the full opening. When the room temperature change speed (falling speed) is less than F ° C./min, the room temperature changing speed is slow and the load applied to the sleeper is small, so the window 3 is fully opened (100%). Is equal to or higher than F ° C./min (corresponding to the second threshold value), the room temperature change rate is fast and the load applied to the sleeper is large. The opening degree of the window 3 is made smaller than the full opening.

  Further, when the outdoor wind speed is medium, such as B to Cm / sec, when the room temperature change rate (rise rate) is less than E ° C./min, the room temperature change rate is slow, and the burden given to the sleeper However, when the rising room temperature change rate (rise speed) is E ° C./min or more, the room temperature change speed is high, and the burden on the sleeper is large. The degree is set to b% (b% <a%), and the opening degree of the window 3 is reduced.

  Further, when the outdoor wind speed is medium, such as B to Cm / sec, when the indoor change speed (falling speed) is less than F ° C./min, the room temperature change speed is slow and the load on the sleeper is small. Therefore, the opening degree of the window 3 is set to a%, but when the indoor change speed (falling speed) is F ° C./min or more, the room temperature change speed is high and the load given to the sleeper is large. Is set to b% (b% <a%), and the opening degree of the window 3 is made smaller than when the outdoor wind speed is low.

  When the outdoor wind speed is relatively high, such as C to Dm / sec, the opening degree of the window 3 is set to b% (b <a) regardless of the room temperature change speed, and the opening degree of the window 3 is reduced. Let As described above, the higher the outdoor wind speed is, the smaller the opening degree of the window 3 is compared with the case where the outdoor wind speed is slow.

  Further, when the outdoor wind speed is very high, such as when the outdoor wind speed exceeds Dm / sec, the window 3 is fully closed regardless of the room temperature change speed. Thus, when the outdoor wind is strong, the window 3 cannot be opened.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the user enters the sleep state, the driving of the air conditioner 47 is stopped, and the control device 4 controls the indoor air conditioning by opening and closing the window 3. . For this reason, an air-conditioning function that is gentle to the body is obtained, and the occurrence of poor physical condition or the like due to autonomic dysfunction is suppressed. Further, since the driving of the air conditioner 47 is stopped, it is advantageous from the viewpoint of energy saving.

  FIG. 8 shows a second embodiment. The present embodiment basically has the same configuration and operational effects as the first embodiment. Accordingly, FIGS. 1 to 6 apply mutatis mutandis. In the following, different parts will be mainly described. The control device 4 performs control in consideration of the indoor wind speed obtained by the indoor wind speed sensor 58 mounted on the remote controller 5. The indoor wind speed affects the sensible temperature for indoor users. That is, even when the room temperature is high, when the indoor wind speed is high, the sensible temperature actually felt by the indoor user is relatively lower than when the indoor wind speed is low. When the indoor wind speed is slow, compared to when the indoor wind speed is fast, the actual sensible temperature actually felt by the user in the room is relatively high.

  The indoor wind speed is determined by the indoor wind speed sensor 58 mounted on the remote controller 5, but is not limited thereto, and the outdoor wind speed and coefficient obtained by the outdoor wind speed sensor 62 and the opening degree of the window 3 are determined. The multiplied value may be obtained by calculation as the indoor wind speed. In this case, the value of the indoor wind speed is relatively increased as the outdoor wind speed is larger or the opening degree of the window 3 is larger.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of a map in which processing contents executed by the apparatus of this embodiment are stored in the memory 42. As shown in FIG. 8 (i), when it is raining outdoors, the window 3 is fully closed so that the rain does not enter the room. As shown in (ii) of FIG. 8, the control law is changed when it is not raining. Hereinafter, a case where it is not raining will be described. That is, as shown in (ii-1) of FIG. 8, when the outside air temperature exceeds the room temperature, it is preferable not to allow hot outside air to enter the room, so the window 3 is fully closed.

  As shown in (ii-2) of FIG. 8, when it is not raining and the outside air temperature is room temperature or lower, an increase amount ΔT of the room temperature after the window 3 is automatically opened and closed is detected. The control is changed according to the increase amount ΔT. When the room temperature increase ΔT is less than A ° C. and the room temperature increase ΔT is small, it is preferable not to allow outside air to enter the room, so the window 3 is fully closed. Alternatively, the window 3 may be finely opened.

  As shown in (ii-2) of FIG. 8, when the outside air temperature is room temperature or lower, when the room temperature increase ΔT after the automatic control is ON is A ° C. or higher, the room temperature increases rapidly. Consider wind speed.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 8, when the indoor wind speed is 0 to β m / sec, β to γ m / sec, γ to δ m / sec, δ m / sec or more, the explanation is divided. To do. In this case, the change rate of room temperature is obtained.

  When the indoor wind speed is slow, such as 0 to β m / sec, when the room temperature change rate (rising speed) is less than E2 ° C./min, the room temperature change speed is slow and the burden on the sleeper is small. 3 is fully opened (100%), but when the room temperature change rate (rising rate) is E2 ° C./min or more, the room temperature change rate is fast, so the burden on the sleeper is large, and the opening is a2% (a2% <100%), and the opening of the window 3 is made smaller than the fully open position. When the room temperature change rate (falling speed) is less than F2 ° C./min, the room temperature changing speed is slow and the load applied to the sleeper is small. Therefore, the window 3 is fully opened (100%). When the speed is equal to or higher than F2 ° C./min, the room temperature change speed is fast and the load applied to the sleeper is large.

  Further, when the outdoor wind speed is medium, such as β to γm / sec, when the room temperature change rate (rise rate) is less than E2 ° C./min, the room temperature change rate is slow, and the burden on the sleeper However, when the rising room temperature change rate (rise speed) is E2 ° C./min or more, the room temperature change speed is high, and the burden on the sleeper is large. The degree is set to b2% (b2% <a2% <100%), and the opening degree of the window 3 is reduced.

  Further, when the outdoor wind speed is medium, such as β to γm / sec, when the indoor change speed (falling speed) is less than F2 ° C./min, the room temperature change speed is slow and the load on the sleeper is small. Therefore, the opening degree of the window 3 is set to a2%. However, when the indoor change speed (falling speed) is F2 ° C./min or more, the room temperature change speed is fast and the load given to the sleeper is large. Is set to b2% (b2% <a2% <100%), and the opening degree of the window 3 is made smaller than when the outdoor wind speed is slow.

  When the outdoor wind speed is high, such as γ to δm / sec, the opening degree of the window 3 is b2% (b2% <a2%) regardless of the room temperature change speed, and the opening degree of the window 3 is Make it smaller. Further, when the outdoor wind speed is very high, such as when the indoor wind speed exceeds δm / sec, the window 3 is fully closed regardless of the room temperature change speed. Thus, when the outdoor wind is quite strong, the window 3 cannot be opened.

  FIG. 9 shows a third embodiment. The present embodiment basically has the same configuration and operational effects as the first embodiment. In the following, different parts will be mainly described. The bed 300 is equipped with a microphone 301 (sleep falling detection means) that detects the sleep sound (including breathing sound, snoring sound, and explosion sound) of the user lying on the bedding. A signal detected by the microphone 301 is input to the control device 4. When the sleep sound detected by the microphone 301 is larger than the threshold value, it is detected that the user is asleep.

  10 and 11 show a fourth embodiment. The present embodiment basically has the same configuration and operational effects as the first embodiment. In the following, different parts will be mainly described. A curtain 7 is installed on the building so as to face the window 3. The curtain 7 is suspended from the curtain rail 71 via a curtain hook 70. The curtain 7 is movable along the window opening / closing direction, that is, the horizontal direction along the curtain rail 71. A window actuator 13 for opening and closing the window 3 is provided on the window fixing frame 2.

  The window opening / closing mechanism 1 according to the present embodiment has an engaging portion 74 provided so as to be engaged and disengaged with the curtain 7 facing the window 3. The engaging portion 74 is formed of a hook-and-loop fastener 74e called a magic tape attached to a movable frame fixed to the window 3. When the surface fastener 74e of the engaging portion 74 is detachably engaged with the curtain 7, when the window actuator 13 is driven and the window 3 moves in the opening and closing direction, the movable frame 31c of the window 3 also moves. The engaging portion 74 fixed to the movable frame 31c also moves in the same direction, and consequently the curtain 7 also moves in the same direction. Thus, in a state where the engaging portion 74 is detachably engaged with the curtain 7, the curtain 7 is also opened in the same direction when the window 3 is opened, and the curtain 7 is also moved in the same direction when the window 3 is closed. Closed. If the user releases the engagement of the hook and loop fastener 74e, the curtain 7 can be opened and closed regardless of the opening and closing of the window 3.

  12 to 14 show a fifth embodiment. The present embodiment basically has the same configuration and operational effects as the first embodiment. In the following, different parts will be mainly described. As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the window opening / closing mechanism 1 further includes an engaging portion 74 </ b> B that can be engaged with and released from the curtain 7 that can face the window 3 and is held by the movable frame 31 c of the window 3. Yes. The engagement portion 74B is an engagement arm 75 that can rotate in the engagement direction (arrow X1 direction) and the engagement release direction (arrow X2 direction) with respect to the curtain 7, a motor that operates the engagement arm 75, and the like. And an engaging actuator 76 formed. The engagement actuator 76 is held by the movable frame 31 c of the window 3 and can move together with the window 3 in the opening / closing direction of the window 3. When the engagement actuator 76 is operated and the engagement arm 75 is operated in the engagement direction (arrow X1 direction), the engagement arm 75 is engaged with an engagement hole (not shown) of the curtain 7. As a result, when the window 3 moves, the interlocking property that allows the curtain 7 to move together is ensured. The engagement arm 75 and the curtain 7 are integrated with each other so that the engagement arm 75 has a bifurcated shape and a portion of the curtain 7 is sandwiched between the engagement arms 75. It may be engaged.

  When the engagement arm 75 is engaged with the curtain 7 and the window actuator 13 is operated to move the window 3 in the opening and closing direction, the curtain 7 is opened and closed in conjunction with the movement of the window 3. When the engagement actuator 76 operates in the disengagement direction (arrow X2 direction) to disengage the engagement arm 75 from the curtain 7, the engagement between the engagement portion 74B and the curtain 7 is released. In this case, even if the window 3 moves in the opening / closing direction, the curtain 7 can be made non-interlocking.

  FIG. 14 shows a flowchart executed by the control device 4. When the outside air temperature is too low, it is preferable not to open and close the window 3, so it is determined whether or not the outside air temperature is too low (step S402). If the outside temperature is too low, the process returns to the main routine. If the outside air temperature is appropriate, it is determined whether or not the user is asleep (step S404). When the user's sleep is detected (YES in step S404), the control device 4 outputs a signal for fully closing the window 3 (step S406). Thereby, the engagement arm 75 and the curtain 7 can be engaged. And the control apparatus 4 outputs the signal which operates the engagement actuator 76 in an engagement direction (arrow X1 direction) (step S408). Thus, the engaging portion 74B is operated to engage the engaging arm 75 with the curtain 7 so that the window 3 and the curtain 7 are interlocked.

  When the user is in a sleep state, the opening degree of the window 3 is set according to outdoor weather information (outside temperature, outdoor humidity, outdoor wind speed, rainfall) and indoor environmental conditions (room temperature, indoor humidity, indoor wind speed). . Then, a subroutine for driving the window actuator 13 in accordance with the obtained opening degree of the window 3 to open and close the window 3 is executed (step S410). In this case, when the window 3 is opened, the curtain 7 is also opened simultaneously. When the window 3 is closed, the curtain 7 is also closed simultaneously.

  It is determined whether or not the present is a sunrise state (step S414). If the present is not the sunrise state, step S410 is continued. If the current state is the sunrise state (YES in step S414), the engagement actuator 76 is maintained in a state where the engagement arm 75 of the engagement portion 74B is engaged with the curtain 7. Then, the window actuator 13 is driven in the fully closing direction of the window, and the window 3 is fully closed (step S416). When the window 3 is fully closed, the curtain 7 is also fully closed. For this reason, although it is a sunrise state, it is suppressed that sunlight injects into a room, and a user's falling asleep is ensured.

  Next, the engagement between the engagement arm 75 of the engagement portion 74B and the curtain 7 is released, and the engagement arm 75 is detached from the curtain 7 (step S418). That is, the engagement actuator 76 is operated so that the engagement arm 75 of the engagement portion 74B and the curtain 7 are disengaged. Next, the window 3 is returned to the original opening (the opening of the window 3 in step S410) (step S420). Then, the opening degree of the window 3 is set according to outdoor weather information (outside temperature, outdoor humidity, outdoor wind speed, rainfall) and the indoor environmental conditions (room temperature, indoor humidity, indoor wind speed). The opening and closing of the window 3 is controlled so as to be the same (step S422). In this case, the user is still asleep.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the user has awakened (step S426). If the user is not awake (NO in step S426), step S422 is continued. If the user is awake (YES in step S426), the window 3 is once fully closed (step S428). Thereafter, the engagement actuator 76 is operated to engage the engagement arm 75 with the hole of the curtain 7, and the interlocking open / close performance between the curtain 7 and the window 3 is ensured (step S430).

  If the window 3 is fully opened in this state (step S432), the curtain 7 is fully opened in conjunction with the full opening of the window 3. Next, the engagement actuator 76 is operated in the reverse direction so that the engagement arm 75 of the engagement portion 74B and the curtain 7 are disengaged (step S434). The window 3 is returned to the original opening (outdoor weather information (outside temperature, outdoor humidity, outdoor wind speed, rainfall), the opening of the window 3 according to the indoor environmental conditions (room temperature, indoor humidity, indoor wind speed)) ( Step S436). If it is raining outside, the window 3 may be fully closed.

  FIG. 15 shows a sixth embodiment. The present embodiment basically has the same configuration and operational effects as the first embodiment. In the following, different parts will be mainly described. The automatic window opening / closing device includes a window actuator 13 (window opening / closing mechanism) for opening / closing the window 3 and a curtain actuator 78 (curtain opening / closing mechanism) for opening / closing the curtain 7 that can face the window 3. When the window actuator 13 is operated, the window 3 is moved in the opening / closing direction. When the curtain actuator 78 is operated, the curtain 7 is moved in the opening / closing direction. The curtain actuator 78 can be driven independently of the window actuator 13. Therefore, the curtain 7 can be driven independently with respect to the window 3.

  FIG. 16 shows a flowchart executed by the control device 4. When the outside air temperature is too low, it is preferable not to open and close the window 3, so it is determined whether or not the outside air temperature is too low (step S502). If the outside temperature is too low, the process returns to the main routine. If the outside air temperature is appropriate, it is determined whether the user is asleep (step S504). When the user's sleep is detected (YES in step S504), the driving of the air conditioner 47 is stopped, outdoor weather information (outside temperature, outdoor humidity, outdoor wind speed, rainfall), indoor environmental conditions (room temperature, indoor A subroutine for opening and closing the window 3 according to the opening degree of the window 3 is executed (step S506). In this case, when the window 3 is opened by the window actuator 13, the curtain actuator 78 is also operated, so that the curtain 7 is opened in conjunction with the window 3. When the window 3 is closed by the window actuator 13, the curtain 7 is also closed in conjunction with the curtain actuator 78. Thus, the window 3 and the curtain 7 are opened and closed simultaneously.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the present is a sunrise state (step S508). If the present is not the sunrise state, steps S506 and S508 are continued. If the present day is the sunrise state (YES in step S508), the curtain 7 is fully closed by outputting the fully closed signal to the curtain actuator 78 and operating the curtain actuator 78 (step S510). For this reason, it is suppressed that sunlight injects indoors, and a user's sleep is ensured. In this case, no signal is output to the window actuator 13, and the opening degree of the window 3 is maintained as it is.

  In this case, since the user is in a sleep state, the opening degree of the window 3 according to outdoor weather information (outside temperature, outdoor humidity, outdoor wind speed, rainfall) and indoor environmental conditions (room temperature, indoor humidity, indoor wind speed) And a subroutine for opening and closing the window 3 according to the opening is executed (step S512). In this case, when the user is asleep in spite of sunrise, outdoor weather information (outside air temperature, outdoor humidity, outdoor wind speed, rainfall), indoor environmental conditions (room temperature, indoor humidity, indoor wind speed) ), The opening degree of the window 3 is controlled, but the curtain 7 remains closed (fully closed).

  Then, it is determined whether or not the user has awakened (step S514). If the user is not awake (NO in step S514), step S512 is continued. If the user is awake (YES in step S514), the curtain 7 is fully opened by operating the curtain actuator 78 while maintaining the opening degree of the window 3 (step S516).

  17 to 19 show a seventh embodiment. The present embodiment basically has the same configuration and operational effects as the first embodiment. In the following, different parts will be mainly described. When the user is in a sleep state, the control device 4 detects the outdoor weather information detected by the outdoor weather information detecting means, the indoor environmental conditions detected by the indoor environmental condition detecting means, and the discomfort obtained by the discomfort index calculating means. Based on the index, the opening degree of the window 3 is obtained so as to increase the comfort level of the user, and the window opening / closing mechanism 1 is controlled according to the opening degree of the window 3.

  As the discomfort index is higher, the window 3 is opened and closed so that the opening degree of the window 3 is increased. As the discomfort index is lower, the window 3 is opened and closed so that the opening degree of the window 3 is decreased. In this case, it is assumed that the outside air temperature is lower than room temperature. The discomfort index refers to an index based on a sensed temperature in consideration of wind speed and / or humidity with respect to actual room temperature. Even if the actual room temperature is high, if the wind speed is considerable or the humidity is low, the sensible temperature is generally low.

  FIG. 20 shows the opening degree of the window 3 according to the discomfort index. As shown in FIG. 20, when the discomfort index is 69 or less, the opening degree of the window 3 is set to 0% (fully closed). When the discomfort index is 70 to 74, the opening degree of the window 3 is set to 30%. When the discomfort index is 75 to 79, the opening degree of the window 3 is set to 50%. When the discomfort index is 80 to 85, the opening degree of the window 3 is set to 80%. When the discomfort index is 86 or more, the opening degree of the window 3 is set to 100% (fully open). However, the opening degree of the window 3 is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 20, and can be changed as appropriate.

  According to the literature, as shown in FIG. 20, when the discomfort index is 55 or less, the sensation is cold. When the discomfort index is between 55 and 60, the sensation is chilly. When the discomfort index is between 60 and 65, the sensation is comfortable. When the discomfort index is between 65 and 70, the sensation is comfortable. When the discomfort index is 70 to 75 or less, the sensation is comfortable. When the discomfort index exceeds 75 and is 80 or less, the bodily sensation is slightly uncomfortable. When the discomfort index is between 80 and 85, the bodily sensation is unpleasant. When the discomfort index is 86 or more, the feeling is unbearable.

The above discomfort index is obtained as follows, for example.
Discomfort index = 0.81 × temperature of experience (° C.) + 0.01 × room humidity × (0.99 × temperature of experience (° C.) − 14.3) +46.3
The sensory temperature (° C.) is generally defined as follows.
Missal temperature (° C.) = Room temperature (° C.) − 1 / 2.3 × (room temperature (° C.) − 10) × (0.8−room humidity (%) / 100)
Linke temperature = room temperature (° C)-4 x (indoor wind speed) ^0.5
Here, the humidity means relative humidity indicating the ratio of the amount of water vapor in the air when the saturated water vapor amount at that temperature is 100%. Although the calculation method differs between the sensory temperature of Misnar and the sensory temperature of Linke, any of them may be adopted in this embodiment. You may employ | adopt the average value of both.

  FIG. 17 shows a flowchart of a main routine executed by the control device 4. FIG. 18 shows an automatic control subroutine for automatically opening and closing the window 3. This flowchart is basically the same as the flowchart shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 17, this flowchart starts when the power is turned on. The control device 4 determines whether or not the automatic control switch 51 of the remote controller 5 according to the present invention is turned on, that is, whether or not an automatic control ON / OFF signal is received (step SB12). If the automatic control switch 51 is ON (step SB12 is ON), execution of an automatic control subroutine for automatically opening and closing the window 3 is started (step SB14). If the automatic control switch 51 is OFF (step SB12 is OFF), the execution of the automatic control subroutine for automatically opening and closing the window 3 is not started, and the user outputs a manual operation signal for manually opening and closing the window 3. (Step SB16).

  FIG. 18 shows an automatic control subroutine in which the control device 4 automatically opens and closes the window 3. When the outside air temperature is too low, it is preferable not to open and close the window 3, so it is determined whether or not the outside air temperature is too low (step SB202). If the outside temperature is too low, the process returns to the main routine. If the outside air temperature is appropriate, it is determined whether or not the sleep switch 52 of the remote controller 5 is turned on, that is, whether or not the user has entered a sleep state (step SB202). If the user is not asleep (NO in step SB204), it is determined whether or not the automatic control switch 51 is turned on (step SB206). If the automatic control switch 51 is not turned on (OFF in step SB206), the process returns to step SB12 of the main routine. If the automatic control switch 51 has been received (step SB206 is ON), the process returns to step SB204 and continues to determine whether the user is in a sleep state (step SB204).

  If the sleep switch 52 is ON and the user is in the sleep state (YES in step SB204), the driving of the air conditioner 47 is stopped, the illumination lamp 48 is turned off, and a fully closed signal is sent to the window actuator 13. Transmit (step SB208). As a result, the window 3 is once fully closed. In this case, since the window 3 is fully closed, the curtain 7 is also fully closed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the wake-up sensor 53 of the remote controller 5 is turned on, that is, whether or not the user has woken up from falling asleep (step SB210). If the wake-up sensor 53 is OFF, that is, if the user has not yet woken up and is asleep (NO in step SB210), the control device 4 can provide outdoor weather information (outside temperature, outdoor humidity, outdoor wind speed, rainfall). ), The indoor environmental conditions (room temperature, room humidity, room wind speed) are read (step SB212). In this case, for example, each signal can be read once per second, and an average value of a plurality of times (for example, 5 times) can be adopted, but is not limited thereto.

  Next, it is determined whether it is raining outdoors (step SB214). If it is not raining (NO in step SB214), it is determined whether the outdoor is a strong wind (step SB216). If the outdoor is not strong wind, outdoor weather information (outside temperature, outdoor humidity, outdoor wind speed, rainfall) and indoor environmental conditions (room temperature, indoor humidity, indoor wind speed) information are stored in the memory 42. Record in the area (step SB218). For a predetermined time (2 minutes), the above-described outdoor weather information and indoor environmental condition information are recorded in the database area (step SB220). If no information is recorded for a predetermined time (2 minutes), the process returns to step SB208 via step SB222, and reading of the above-described outdoor weather information and indoor environmental conditions is continued and recorded in the database.

  If the outdoor weather information and the indoor environmental conditions described above are recorded in the database area for a predetermined time (YES in step SB220), the outdoor wind speed and the outdoor air temperature are averaged over a predetermined time (for example, 2 minutes), and the discomfort index is calculated. Calculate (step SB224). The discomfort index is obtained as a body temperature according to the indoor environmental conditions (room temperature, room humidity, room wind speed, room temperature humidity), and the body discomfort index is obtained based on the body temperature and room temperature. The opening degree of the window 3 is set based on the discomfort index, and the window 3 is opened and closed according to the opening degree of the window 3 (step SB226).

  FIG. 19 shows the contents of a subroutine for opening and closing the window 3 according to the discomfort index. First, the opening degree of the window 3 corresponding to the discomfort index is read from the map of the memory 42 (step SB2262). The target opening degree of the window 3 is determined (step SB2264). The target opening degree of the window 3 is transmitted to the drive circuit of the window actuator 13 (step SB2266). The information for a predetermined time about weather information (outside temperature, outdoor humidity, outdoor wind speed, rainfall) and indoor environmental conditions (room temperature, indoor humidity, indoor wind speed) is reset (step SB2268), and the process returns to step SB210. As described above, the target opening degree of the window 3 corresponding to the outdoor weather information (outside temperature, outdoor humidity, outdoor wind speed, rainfall) and the indoor environmental conditions (room temperature, indoor humidity, indoor wind speed) is obtained. The window actuator 13 is driven according to the target opening to open and close the window 3.

  As a result of the determination in step SB214, if it is raining outdoors, the process proceeds from step SB214 to step SB230, a fully closed signal is transmitted to the window actuator 13, and the window 3 is closed (step SB230). Similarly, if the result of determination in step SB216 is that strong wind is blowing outdoors (step S216 is ON), the process proceeds from step SB216 to step SB230, a fully closed signal is transmitted to the window actuator 13, and the window 3 is closed. (Step SB230). Further, it is determined whether the automatic control switch 51 of the remote controller 5 is ON or OFF (step SB232). If it is OFF, the process returns to step SB12 of the main routine. If the automatic control switch 51 is ON, the process returns to step SB210, and it is determined whether or not the user is awake from sleep (step SB210). If the user is not awake from sleep (NO in step SB210), the user is sleeping. Therefore, the discomfort index is obtained as described above (step SB224), the opening degree of the window 3 is obtained according to the discomfort index, and the window actuator 13 is driven according to the opening degree of the window 3 to open and close the window 3 (step SB224). S226). Continue the above processing.

  If the result of determination in step SB210 is that the wake-up signal is ON (YES in step SB210) and the user is awake from sleep, it is determined whether it is raining outdoors (step SB236). If it is not raining (NO in step SB236), a full open signal is transmitted to the window actuator 13 (step SB238), and the window 3 is fully opened. If it is raining (YES in step SB236), a fully closed signal is transmitted to the window actuator 13 (step SB240), and the window 3 is fully closed (step S240).

  Since the present embodiment basically has the same configuration and the same function and effect as the first embodiment, FIG. 1 is applied mutatis mutandis. According to the present embodiment, the remote controller 5 includes a power switch 50, an automatic control switch 51 that performs automatic opening / closing control for automatically opening and closing the window 3, and a sleep switch 52 (sleep detection means) that is operated when the user falls asleep. And a transmission unit 54 that transmits a signal to the reception unit 41 (for example, an infrared sensor) of the control device 4, a room temperature sensor 56 (room temperature detection means), and an indoor humidity sensor 57 (indoor humidity detection means). However, the awake sensor 53 (wake detection means) and the indoor wind speed sensor 58 (indoor wind speed detection means) that are operated when the user wakes up from the sleep state are not provided in the remote controller 5. In winter and the like, since the user does not turn on the automatic control switch 51 of the remote controller 5, it is considered that the control for automatically opening and closing the window 3 is not executed. In summer and the like, the user often turns on the automatic control switch 51 of the remote controller 5. Signals from the switches of the remote controller 5 are input from the transmitter 54 of the remote controller 5 to the receiver 41 of the control device 4. When the automatic control switch 51 of the remote controller 5 is ON, automatic opening / closing control for automatically opening / closing the window 3 is executed. When the automatic control switch 51 of the remote controller 5 is turned off, automatic opening / closing control for automatically opening / closing the window 3 is not executed, and the user manually opens / closes the window 3.
