8. An automatic opening and closing system for opening and closing a window by automatically locking and/or unlocking a lock section of the window and by using a sensor, wherein the window opening and closing mechanism disclosed in claim 1 comprises a motor capable of forward and reverse rotation, an extending and retracting rod linked to this motor capable of extending and retracting due to rotation of the motor, and a window fitting section at the extending and retracting rod, wherein, after the window is opened to a fixed position, rotation of the motor is stopped, the window is stopped at a fixed position, and it is possible to move the window in a closing direction by extension and retraction of the rod using sensors such as the rainwater sensor and temperature sensor.

9. An automatic opening and closing system for opening and closing a window by automatically locking and/or unlocking a lock section of the window and by using a sensor, wherein the window opening and closing mechanism disclosed in claim 1 comprises a motor capable of forward and reverse rotation, a pinion capable of forward and reverse rotation by the motor, and a rack provided at the window meshing with the pinion, wherein after opening of the window to a fixed position using positive rotation of the pinion, rotation of the motor is stopped so that the window is stopped at a fixed position, and the window can be moved in a closing direction through reverse rotation of the pinion due to rotation of the motor using a sensor such as the rainwater sensor, or temperature sensor.
