To achieve the "dual carbon" goal, developing new building envelopes that combine thermal insulation, energy supply, and intelligent management has become a research hotspot.
[0003] In existing technologies, phase change energy storage materials are only used for temperature regulation and do not achieve energy recovery; thermoelectric or piezoelectric power generation technologies are mostly single-function applications and lack deep integration with building structures; energy management is mostly passive storage and does not dynamically adjust the flow of electricity according to the building's real-time energy consumption and the environment.

[0028] First embodiment: Please refer to Figure 1 This embodiment provides a multi-layer composite wall, including an outer decorative layer 1, an insulation layer 4, an expansion piezoelectric strip 3, a pressure gain layer 2, a phase change energy storage layer 5, a contraction piezoelectric strip 6, a phase change energy storage layer 5, a pressure gain layer 2, an expansion piezoelectric strip 3, an insulation layer 4, and an interior layer 7 arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside. The phase change energy storage layer 5 is used to compress the contraction piezoelectric strip 6 or the expansion piezoelectric strip 3 by contraction or expansion deformation caused by heat absorption and release due to temperature difference, thereby causing the contraction piezoelectric strip 6 or the expansion piezoelectric strip 3 to generate electrical energy. At the same time, the phase change energy storage layers 5 on both sides of the contraction piezoelectric strip 6 are symmetrically arranged, and the expansion piezoelectric strips 3 on both sides of the phase change energy storage layer 5 are symmetrically arranged. A pressure gain layer 2 is provided between the expanding piezoelectric strip 3 and the phase change energy storage layer 5. The pressure gain layer 2 is located on the outer side of the phase change energy storage layer 5, and its outer wall has positioning grooves and positioning protrusions arranged in a continuous and staggered manner. The expanding piezoelectric strip 3 is located on the positioning protrusions. The pressure gain layer 2 is used to improve the power generation efficiency of the expanding piezoelectric strip 3 by changing the contact area between the phase change energy storage layer 5 and the expanding piezoelectric strip 3.
[0029] Furthermore, its phase change energy storage layer 5 adopts the phase change material that is filled inside the wall in existing technologies. The phase change material is selected according to the characteristics of the climate zone: paraffin-based composite phase change material with a phase change temperature of 18-22℃ is used in extremely cold and cold regions; fatty acid-based composite phase change material with a phase change temperature of 22-26℃ is used in hot-summer and cold-winter and temperate regions; and multi-element eutectic phase change material with a phase change temperature of 24-28℃ is used in hot-summer and warm-winter regions. The phase change energy storage layer 5 deforms due to the absorption and release of heat caused by temperature difference. When it expands, it directly compresses the expansion piezoelectric strips 3 on both sides, or when it contracts, it compresses the contraction piezoelectric strip 6 in the middle. When there is a diurnal temperature difference or seasonal change, the phase change energy storage layer 5 maintains the indoor temperature stability by absorbing heat (when the temperature rises) or releasing heat (when the temperature falls), thus achieving passive heat preservation. At the same time, the stable temperature difference formed during the phase change process (with the indoor or outdoor environment) provides a continuous energy source for the adjacent expansion piezoelectric strips 3, without the need for external power input.
[0030] It should be noted that the pressure gain layer 2 can be made of corrugated metal sheet; both the expansion piezoelectric strip 3 and the contraction piezoelectric strip 6 can be piezoelectric ceramic sheets that form a power generation array through series electrodes. The phase change energy storage layer 5 deforms or the heat transfer medium expands and contracts, squeezing the contraction piezoelectric strip 6 (when contracting), or drives the pressure gain layer 2 (when expanding), thereby squeezing the expansion piezoelectric strip 3 to generate electricity. The insulation layer 4 can be made of high-efficiency insulation material to provide basic thermal resistance and reduce heat exchange between indoors and outdoors. The thickness is determined according to building energy conservation standards, and the high-efficiency insulation material can be extruded polystyrene foam board, rigid polyurethane foam, or vacuum insulation board, etc. The insulation layer 4 has an installation channel adapted to the wiring of the expansion piezoelectric strip 3, and the installation channel is filled with sealing insulation material.
[0031] The multi-layer composite wall adopts a symmetrical composite structure of "exterior layer 1 - insulation layer 4 - expansion piezoelectric strip 3 - phase change energy storage layer 5 - contraction piezoelectric strip 6 - phase change energy storage layer 5 - expansion piezoelectric strip 3 - insulation layer 4 - interior layer 7". The temperature difference formed by the absorption and release of heat in the phase change energy storage layer 5 drives the expansion piezoelectric strip 3 and the contraction piezoelectric strip 6 to convert thermal energy into mechanical energy, and then into electrical energy through the piezoelectric effect.
[0032] Therefore, this embodiment provides a multi-layer composite wall, which, by setting a shrinking piezoelectric strip 6, a phase change energy storage layer 5, and an expanding piezoelectric strip 3 within the wall, enables the phase change energy storage layer 5 to maintain a stable indoor temperature by absorbing heat (when the temperature rises) or releasing heat (when the temperature falls) during diurnal temperature differences or seasonal changes, thus achieving passive insulation. At the same time, the stable temperature difference (with the indoor or outdoor environment) formed by the phase change energy storage layer 5 during the phase change process provides a continuous energy source for the adjacent expanding piezoelectric strip 3 without the need for external power input. Furthermore, the phase change energy storage layer 5 deforms due to the absorption and release of heat due to temperature differences, or the thermal expansion and contraction of the heat transfer medium, thereby squeezing the shrinking piezoelectric strip 6 or the expanding piezoelectric strip 3, converting mechanical energy into usable electrical energy, thus simultaneously completing insulation and energy recovery without the need for external power.
[0033] Second embodiment: Please refer to Figure 2 This embodiment provides a building structure, which mainly includes an energy storage module 9 (as in the prior art), an intelligent control module 10 (as in the prior art), a sensor assembly 8, and a multi-layer composite wall as in the first embodiment. The energy storage module 9 is electrically connected to the shrinking piezoelectric strip 6 and the expanding piezoelectric strip 3, and is used to store the electrical energy generated by the shrinking piezoelectric strip 6 and the expanding piezoelectric strip 3. The sensor assembly 8 is disposed in the insulation layer 4 of the multi-layer composite wall and is located in the positioning groove of the pressure gain layer 2. It is used to transmit various types of monitored data to the intelligent control module 10. Furthermore, the intelligent control module 10 is electrically connected to both the sensor assembly 8 and the energy storage module 9, and is used to distribute the electrical energy stored in the energy storage module 9 according to the monitoring data received from the sensor assembly 8. The multi-layer composite insulated building wall serves as the core functional carrier. The energy storage module 9 is electrically connected to the shrinking piezoelectric strip 6 and the expanding piezoelectric strip 3, respectively. The intelligent control module 10 is connected to the sensor assembly 8 installed in the multi-layer composite wall, the energy storage module 9, and the external smart home system 11. Diurnal or seasonal temperature differences cause the phase change energy storage layer 5 to absorb and release heat, resulting in deformation. This deformation compresses the piezoelectric ceramic sheets in the shrinking piezoelectric strip 6 or the expanding piezoelectric strip 3, generating electricity. The electrical energy flows to the smart home system 11, to the sensor assembly 8 inside and outside the wall, and to the stored energy. Through an energy conversion path of "thermal energy - mechanical energy - electrical energy," it synergistically achieves efficient thermal insulation and passive power generation, making it suitable for various civil and industrial buildings.
[0034] Its energy storage module 9 includes a rectifier and voltage regulator unit, a battery, and a grid connection interface. The battery is electrically connected to the shrinking piezoelectric strip 6 and the expanding piezoelectric strip 3 via the rectifier and voltage regulator unit. Simultaneously, its grid connection interface is electrically connected to the intelligent control module 10, the battery, the smart home unit 11, and the sensor components 8 within the multi-layer composite wall. The energy flow includes: supplying the smart home unit 11, supplying the sensor components 8 inside and outside the wall, and storing it in the battery.
[0035] It should be noted that its intelligent control module 10 uses a controller based on existing technology.
[0036] Furthermore, the sensor assembly 8 includes a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a light sensor, and an electrical energy sensor. These sensors are installed in the insulation layer 4 of the multi-layer composite wall and transmit their measured data to the controller. They can collect data such as indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, light intensity, building equipment energy consumption, and wall power generation, providing data support for regulation. The temperature sensor monitors the indoor and outdoor temperature difference and the temperature of the phase change energy storage layer 5 in real time, determining the priority of "insulation" or "power generation." The humidity sensor monitors the humidity inside the wall to prevent condensation from damaging the functional layers. The light sensor determines the indoor and outdoor light intensity, enabling intelligent adjustment of the indoor lighting system. The electrical energy sensor is integrated into the energy storage module 9 to detect the power generation of the expanding piezoelectric strip 3 or the contracting piezoelectric strip 6 and the battery energy storage status, providing a basis for energy distribution. The controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensor, humidity sensor, light sensor, electrical energy sensor, and grid connection interface, controlling the flow of electrical energy based on the received data.
[0037] It should be noted that the rectifier and voltage regulator unit, battery, grid connection interface, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, light sensor, power sensor, and controller all adopt existing technologies and their specific structural designs and working principles will not be elaborated here. The rectifier and voltage regulator unit is used to convert the unstable electrical energy (DC or AC) output from the expansion piezoelectric bar 3 or contraction piezoelectric bar 6 into stable DC electrical energy, with the output voltage stabilized at 12V, which can directly adapt to the power supply needs of most smart home devices. The battery uses lithium-ion or lead-acid batteries to store the rectified electrical energy, and the energy storage capacity is determined according to the building's electrical load. The grid connection interface converts the DC electrical energy stored in the battery into AC electrical energy through a micro inverter, which can be connected in parallel with the home power grid as a green energy supplement. The controller uses a low-power chip and is linked with the smart home 11 system. The controller is self-powered by the power generated by the expanding piezoelectric strip 3 or the contracting piezoelectric strip 6. When the power generation is insufficient, the battery is triggered to provide auxiliary power. The sensor component 8 monitors data such as indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, light intensity, and energy consumption of home equipment. The controller dynamically adjusts the power flow and controls smart home 11 devices (such as air conditioners, window blinds, etc.) accordingly.
[0038] The operating modes of the intelligent control module 10 include: High power supply mode: When the real-time power consumption of the house is detected to be ≥60% of the rated load, the controller will prioritize the real-time power generation of the expanding piezoelectric strip 3 or the contracting piezoelectric strip 6 to supply the smart home 11, while ensuring the power supply of the sensor components 8. Low-power storage mode: When the real-time power consumption of the house is less than 30% of the rated load, the controller will store all the electrical energy generated by the expanding piezoelectric strip 3 or the contracting piezoelectric strip 6 in the battery. Sensor assembly 8 continuous power supply mode: The internal and external sensor assemblies 8 are continuously powered by the expansion piezoelectric strip 3 or the contraction piezoelectric strip 6 to ensure real-time acquisition of environmental data.
[0039] This application breaks through the limitations of traditional energy technologies that rely on sunlight or active energy supply. It improves the building's energy self-sufficiency rate through functional integration and energy cascade conversion. The parameters of each functional layer can be adapted to different climate zones, and it has broad application prospects.
[0040] Third embodiment: This embodiment targets the operation scenario of a residential building in a hot-summer, cold-winter region during the summer daytime hours of 10:00-16:00, when the outdoor temperature is 35-38℃ and the initial indoor temperature is 28℃. Due to the continuous conduction of the high outdoor temperature, the phase change energy storage layer 5 is triggered to absorb heat and expand, driving the expanded piezoelectric strip 3 to generate electricity, which is a typical "thermal expansion power generation" operating condition.
[0041] Starting at 10:00, the outdoor high temperature is conducted to the interior of the wall through the exterior layer 1. After the insulation layer 4 blocks 70% of the heat, the remaining heat causes the temperature of the phase change energy storage layer 5 to rise from 24°C to 26°C, triggering the phase change material to change from solid to liquid. Accompanied by volume expansion, the phase change energy storage layer 5 continues to expand within 6 hours, forming a continuous outward thrust that directly acts on the pressure gain layer 2 of the expanding piezoelectric strips 3 on both sides.
[0042] Indoor environmental control: The pressure gain layer 2 compresses and expands the piezoelectric strips 3 to generate charge, which is then output as voltage through a series array. During the heat absorption process of the phase change energy storage layer 5, the indoor temperature is stabilized at 25-26℃ through latent heat regulation, which is 4-5℃ lower than that of residences without this system. The air conditioner setting temperature is increased from 24℃ to 26℃, and power consumption is reduced.
[0043] Power distribution strategy: Of the power generated by the wall system, about half is directly supplied to the air conditioner, one-third is supplied to low-power devices such as living room lighting, smart curtains, and temperature and humidity sensors, and the remaining power is stored in the battery through the rectifier and voltage regulator unit.
[0044] Intelligent control logic: When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature of the phase change energy storage layer 5 is ≥26℃, the controller will link the smart curtains to close by 50% to reduce direct solar heat; at the same time, all expansion piezoelectric strips 3 will be activated to ensure maximum power generation efficiency.
[0045] Ultimately, this will improve power generation performance, increase energy efficiency, and significantly enhance thermal comfort.
[0046] Fourth embodiment: This embodiment is designed for the operation scenario of a residential building in a frigid region during the winter night from 20:00 to 6:00 the next day. At this time, the outdoor temperature is -15 to -10℃, and the indoor heating equipment is running (set temperature 22℃). Due to the significant temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, the phase change energy storage layer 5 releases heat, solidifies, and contracts, driving the expansion piezoelectric strip 3 to generate electricity in reverse, which is a typical "cold contraction power generation" working condition.
[0047] After 8:00 PM, the outdoor low temperature caused a sharp drop in the temperature of the outer wall. The phase change energy storage layer 5, releasing latent heat into the room (to maintain the indoor temperature), saw its temperature drop from 20°C to 18°C, triggering the phase change material to transition from a liquid to a solid state, accompanied by volume contraction. The phase change energy storage layer 5 continued to contract over 10 hours, creating an inward pulling force that acted on the pressure gain layer 2 of the expanding piezoelectric strips 3 on both sides. The pressure gain layer 2 underwent reverse deformation, converting the contraction force into a compressive force on the expanding piezoelectric strips 3 through a mechanical structure, thus outputting voltage. Simultaneously, the phase change energy storage layer 5 compressed the contracting piezoelectric strip 6 in the center of the wall, also outputting voltage.
[0048] Indoor environmental control: Phase change energy storage layer 5 releases latent heat to supplement indoor heat dissipation, which extends the operating interval of heating equipment, reduces power consumption, and reduces energy consumption by 10 hours at night.
[0049] Power distribution strategy: Of the generated electricity, one-third is supplied to safety devices such as indoor and outdoor temperature sensors, gas leak alarms, and smart door locks; one-third of the electricity is directly supplied to the underfloor heating circulation pump; and the remaining electricity is stored in the battery.
[0050] Intelligent control logic: When the temperature sensor detects that the outdoor temperature is ≤-12℃, the controller shuts down 20% of the non-sun-facing thermoelectric conversion units to reduce heat loss through the power generation process; at the same time, it links with the wall-hung boiler to lower the outlet water temperature and uses the latent heat of the phase change energy storage layer 5 to maintain a stable indoor temperature.
[0051] The feasibility of this application under both thermal expansion and contraction conditions is verified by the third and fourth embodiments. Through the synergistic effect of the phase change energy storage layer 5, the expansion piezoelectric strip 3, and the contraction piezoelectric strip 6, the passive conversion of "temperature difference → mechanical energy → electrical energy" is realized, while taking into account building insulation and energy recovery, and adapting to the dynamic operation requirements of different climate zones.
[0052] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
