Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is evident that the embodiments described are some, but not all embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.
Referring to fig. 1-2, a schematic diagram of a window system according to an embodiment of the present application and a schematic diagram of a window device according to a first embodiment of the present application are shown. As shown, the window system 1 includes a window device 100 and a host device 200. The window device 100 includes a window frame 110, a first glass 120, a second glass 130, a spacer bar 140, a light adjusting glass 150, a touch screen 160, and a display screen 170. At least a portion of the first glass 102 is encased in the window frame 110. At least a portion of the second glass 130 is encased in the window frame 110. The spacer 140 is disposed between the first glass 120 and the second glass 130, and a receiving space is formed among the spacer 140, the first glass 120 and the second glass 130. In the accommodating space, the dimming glass 150 is disposed on the first glass 120, the touch screen 160 is disposed on the second glass 130, and the display screen 170 is disposed on the touch screen 160. The host device 200 is electrically connected to the window device 100, and controls the window device 100 according to the touching behavior of the touch screen 160. Since the host device 200 is provided outside the window device 100, when the components in the host device 200 need maintenance or update, a serviceman only needs to disassemble the host device 200, not the entire window device 100. Therefore, the time required for the construction can be greatly reduced by the above arrangement.
Referring to fig. 3, a block diagram of a window system according to an embodiment of the application is shown. As shown, the host device 200 further includes a first host 210 and a second host 220. The first host 210 is electrically connected to a Train power system and a Train Control system (Train Control AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, TSMC), and the first host 210 receives and processes a first signal from the Train Control system and generates a second signal. The second host 220 is electrically connected to the first host 210 and the window device 100, and the second host 220 controls the window device 100 according to the second signal.
More specifically, the first host 210 includes a power module 211, a switch 212, and a processor 213. The power module 211 is electrically connected to the train power system and the second host 220. The switch is electrically connected to the train management system and the second host 220. The processor 213 signals the train management system and the second host 220 through the switch. The first host 210 may further include an external interface, where the external interface has a plurality of connection terminals, and the switch 212 is configured to signal the train management system through the external interface. The second host 220 includes a display driving board 221, a touch driving board 222, and a signal processing board 223. The display driving board 221 is electrically connected to the display 170. The touch driving board 222 is electrically connected with the touch screen 160. The signal processing board 223 is electrically connected to the display driving board 221, the touch driving board 222 and the first host 210, and the signal processing board 223 receives and processes the second signal.
The window system 1 obtains power from the train power supply system through the power module 211 of the first host 210, and the electronic devices such as the dimming glass 150 and the touch screen 160 are all powered by the train power supply system, without providing a battery or similar electricity storage device. In addition, the window system 1 also exchanges information with the train management system through the switch 212, such as state information and fault information of the window system 1 can be uploaded to the train management system through the switch 212, so that the train management system can comprehensively diagnose and analyze the information to judge the current state and fault state of the window system 1 so as to assist the driver to operate. In addition, the first host 210 may also receive the first signal from the train management system through the switch 212, and the processor 213 generates a second signal after determining the first signal, and then transmits the second signal to the signal processing board 223 of the second host 220 through the switch 212, and then the signal processing board 223 controls the window device 100 according to the second signal. For example, when a train enters a tunnel or a region with low brightness, the train management system sends a first signal to the first host 210, the first host 210 receives the first signal through the switch 212, the processor 213 determines that dimming is required, the processor 213 generates a second signal and sends the second signal to the signal processing board 223 of the second host 220 through the switch 212, and the signal processing board 223 controls the dimming glass 150 to perform dimming according to the second signal. In other embodiments, the switch 212 of the first host 210 may also be electrically connected to a passenger information system (PASSENGER INFORMATION SYSTEM, PIS) that displays information required by the passenger on the display 170 of the window system 1, such as arrival information, outside air temperature, map, transfer information, etc., so that the passenger can control the display 170 to display the information through the touch screen 160.
Further, the switch 212 is used for signaling with the train management system through an external interface. Therefore, the external interface may be provided with different connection ports, such as a test interface, an RS485 interface, a USB interface, an analog audio input interface, an ethernet port, etc., in addition to the electrical connection with the train management system and the passenger information system. When the window system 1 is connected with more external systems, passengers can acquire more information or services, so as to improve riding experience of the passengers.
As mentioned above, the first host 210 is a signal exchange device between the window system 100 and the train. The second host is a driving device that drives and controls the window apparatus 100 in the window system 1. In other words, when the window system 1 requires maintenance or replacement of components, one of the first host 210, the second host 220, and the window device 100 may be disassembled according to the need without disassembling the entire system. In this way, the window system 1 can be easily maintained or new functions can be installed.
Please refer to fig. 4, which is a schematic diagram of a second host 230 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in the drawing, the second host 220 is disposed on the other side of the second glass facing the accommodating space, and the second host 220 includes a bottom plate 224 and an outer cover 225, the bottom plate 224 is disposed on the second glass 130 to fix the second host 220, and the outer cover 225 is provided with a speaker 226 and a camera 227. The second host 220 is further provided with an antenna, a bluetooth, and a wireless communication module. The bottom plate 224 fixes the second host 220 to the second glass 130, and by reducing the distance between the second host 220 and the light control glass 150, the touch panel 160, and the display panel 170 in the window device 100, the stability of signal transmission between the second host 220 and the window device 100 can be maintained. In addition, the cover 225 may be provided with a speaker 226 and a camera 227 in addition to preventing the components in the second host 220 from being directly exposed. Speaker 226 may be an 8 ohm speaker or a 2 ohm or 32 ohm speaker. Alternatively, the speaker 226 may be classified according to an operation principle, such as one of an electromagnetic speaker, an electrodynamic speaker, an electrostatic speaker, and a piezoelectric speaker. The camera 227 may be a micro camera, or may be a camera with an infrared function, which can take a photograph under a low brightness condition, or monitor the body temperature of the passenger through thermal imaging, and report the temperature back to the train management system. In addition, communication elements such as an antenna, a bluetooth, a wireless communication module, etc. can be used to realize transmission of the vehicle window system 1 and audio/video data, so that passengers can access the internet through the communication elements in addition to acquiring information related to the train.
Referring to fig. 2 again, the first glass 120 has a first light-transmitting region 121 and a first shielding region 122, the spacer 140 and the window frame 110 are provided with outlets, the light-adjusting glass 150 is located in the first light-transmitting region 121, and the window system 1 further includes a first connecting wire 310 disposed in the first shielding region 121 and electrically connected to the light-adjusting glass 150, and the first connecting wire 310 passes through the outlets to the host device 200. The second glass 130 has a second light-transmitting region 131 and a second shielding region 132, the touch screen 160 and the display screen 170 are located in the second light-transmitting region 131, and the window system 1 further includes a second connecting wire 320 and a third connecting wire 330, where the second connecting wire 320 is disposed in the second shielding region 131 and electrically connected to the touch screen 160. The third connecting wire 330 is disposed in the second shielding region 132 and electrically connected to the display 170, and the second connecting wire 320 and the third connecting wire 330 pass through the outlets to the host 200. More specifically, the first transparent region 121 and the first shielding region 122 are different regions of the same glass, and the first shielding region is coated with opaque black ink, so that the first shielding region 212 is opaque. Similarly, the second transparent region 131 and the second shielding region 132 are different regions of the same glass, and the second shielding region 132 is coated with opaque black ink, so that the second shielding region 132 is opaque. In other embodiments, the first shielding region 122 and the second shielding region 132 may be made opaque by plating, taping, or the like.
Here, the first connection line 310, the second connection line 320, and the third connection line 330 are routed through the accommodation space among the first glass 120 and the second glass 130, so as to avoid exposing the first connection line 310, the second connection line 320, and the third connection line 330 to the interior of the vehicle cabin, and to reduce interference received by signals during transmission. Therefore, the first connection line 310, the second connection line 320, and the third connection line 330 routed in the accommodating space can be shielded by the first shielding region 122 and the second shielding region 132.
In summary, in the window system according to the present application, the host device is separated from the window device, and when a serviceman needs to replace components inside the host device such as wires and maintain the driving module, the host device is only required to be disassembled, and the window device is not required to be disassembled. Therefore, the time required for the construction can be greatly reduced by the above arrangement.
