Autonomous Airflow Regulation System for Heating or Cooling or Ventilation of Premises
Abstract
An autonomous airflow regulation system regulates airflow supplied into premises and mounted on airflow outlets. The regulation system includes at least one system unit including an airflow guiding mechanism furnished with louvers, an actuator receiving regulation commands and urging the guiding mechanism to pivot the louvers, a battery electrically connected to the actuator, a generator charging the battery, a turbine driving the generator, a remote control device forming the regulation commands set up by a user, and a wireless communication channel transmitting the regulation commands from the remote control device to the actuator. A number of such units can be associated with a central control unit providing climate control of the premises. The battery can have a port for initial charging from an external source. The wireless channel can be based on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth technology. The regulation system is electrically safer than similar typical systems and inexpensive.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedI claim:
1 . An autonomous airflow regulation system for regulation of airflow supplied into premises from a heating/cooling/ventilation system; the regulation system comprises at least one system unit including:
an airflow guiding mechanism mounted on an outlet of said heating/cooling/ventilation system, wherein the airflow guiding mechanism includes a plurality of louvers capable of simultaneously pivoting; an actuator receiving regulation commands; said actuator is coupled to and urges the airflow guiding mechanism to pivot the louvers setting up a position of the louvers, and thereby regulating said airflow; an accumulator battery electrically connected and supplying power to said actuator; an electrical generator capable of charging said accumulator battery; an airflow turbine capable of driving the electrical generator, wherein the turbine and the generator have a common shaft, and the turbine is driven by said airflow; a remote control device regulated by a user; the remote control device forms said regulation commands according to the user's regulation; and a wireless communication channel capable of transmitting said regulation commands from the remote control device to the actuator.
2 . The autonomous airflow regulation system according to claim 1 , wherein said outlet is arranged on a ceiling, floor, or a wall of the premises.
3 . The autonomous airflow regulation system according to claim 1 , further comprising a number of said system units, while the remote control devices of at least some of said number of the system units are associated with a central control unit providing climate control of the premises.
4 . The autonomous airflow regulation system according to claim 1 , wherein said accumulator battery has a port for initial charging from an external voltage source.
5 . The autonomous airflow regulation system according to claim 1 , wherein said wireless channel is built based on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth technology.
6 . The autonomous airflow regulation system according to claim 1 , wherein said airflow guiding mechanism is made as a rocker mechanism actuated by the actuator and causing the louvers to pivot from a zero-angle to a maximum-angle corresponding to the regulation commands.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
