Abstract

Provided is an apparatus for detecting opening and closing of a door. The apparatus includes a sensor unit, which is installed at a location close to a first member and detects an opening and closing of a door, a loading unit coupled to the sensor unit and a folded unit, folded and rotated based on a center of the folded unit when a back set distance from a side surface of the door to a center line of an indoor unit is small, and led in an installation groove of an indoor unit, and a case coupled to the loading unit when the back set distance from the side surface of the door to the center line of the indoor unit is larger, and separated from the loading unit when the back set distance from the side surface of the door to the center line of the indoor unit is small.

Claims (18)

1. An apparatus for detecting opening and closing of a door, the apparatus comprising:

a sensor unit moves with respect to a first member and configured to detect an opening and closing of a door;

a loading unit coupled to the sensor unit and configured to be folded and rotated with respect to a folded unit attached to the sensor unit when a back set distance from a side surface of the door to a center line of an indoor unit is smaller than a predetermined value, and configured to be inserted into an installation groove of the indoor unit; and

a case coupled to the loading unit when the back set distance from the side surface of the door to the center line of the indoor unit is larger than the predetermined value, and separated from the loading unit when the back set distance from the side surface of the door to the center line of the indoor unit is smaller than the predetermined value.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the sensor unit comprises an adhesion unit provided on a surface of the sensor unit, the adhesion unit being configured to fix the sensor unit to the door when a distance between the sensor unit and the first member is less than a predetermined distance, and the loading unit is led in the installation groove of the indoor unit in a state in which the loading unit is folded and rotated based on the folded unit.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the loading unit comprises: a pair of symmetrical guide projections provided on a surface of the loading unit, and the cases comprises a guide groove in which the guide projections are guided.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the case comprises a pair of symmetrical latching projections provided on ends of a side of the case, and the sensor unit comprises latching grooves in which the latching projections are latched.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first member is a magnet,

wherein the sensor unit comprises a connection terminal for electrical connection, and

wherein the installation groove comprises a connector configured to be connected to the connection terminal and provided inside the installation groove.

6. An apparatus for detecting opening and closing of a door, the apparatus comprising:

a first member provided on a door frame; and

an indoor unit provided on a door corresponding to the door frame and comprising a sensor member configured to detect the first member,

wherein the sensor member comprises:

a sensor unit configured to detect an opening and closing of a door;

a loading unit coupled to the sensor unit and configured to be folded and rotated with respect to a folded unit attached to the sensor unit when a back set distance from a side surface of the door to a center line of an indoor unit is smaller than a predetermined value, and configured to be inserted into an installation groove of the indoor unit; and

a case coupled to the loading unit when the back set distance from the side surface of the door to the center line of the indoor unit is larger than the predetermined value, and separated from the loading unit when the back set distance from the side surface of the door to the center line of the indoor unit is smaller than the predetermined value.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the first member is a magnet.
