Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building component accessories technology, and in particular to a self-adjusting photovoltaic curtain wall that adapts to sunlight. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in building curtain walls, the concept of energy-saving design is being promoted to ensure that building curtain walls achieve energy conservation and environmental protection, and conform to the energy-saving concept of modern building design. Photovoltaic curtain walls are usually used. In addition to the performance of ordinary curtain walls, the biggest feature of photovoltaic curtain walls is that they can convert light energy into electrical energy.

[0003] In existing technologies, photovoltaic (PV) panels in photovoltaic (PV) curtain walls are typically rotatably connected to the building, with the angle of the panels adjusted according to the sunlight angle to improve their light absorption. However, the angle of these panels is usually adjusted manually, which is physically demanding for operators. Furthermore, the connection structure between the PV panels and the building in existing technologies is often flawed, leading to stress concentration on the panels.

[0004] Therefore, existing photovoltaic curtain walls suffer from technical problems such as inconvenient angle adjustment and easy damage to photovoltaic panels. Utility Model Content

[0005] The self-adjusting photovoltaic curtain wall provided by this utility model solves the technical problems of inconvenient angle adjustment and easy damage to photovoltaic panels in the prior art.

[0006] Some implementation schemes for solving the above-mentioned technical problems include:

[0007] A self-adjusting photovoltaic curtain wall that adapts to sunlight includes a fixed frame installed on a building, a curtain wall assembly being disposed within the fixed frame, and the curtain wall assembly including photovoltaic panels;

[0008] The photovoltaic panel is rotatably connected to the fixed frame;

[0009] The fixed frame is also provided with a drive component for driving the photovoltaic panel to rotate relative to the fixed frame. The fixed frame is also provided with a controller for controlling the drive component. The fixed frame is provided with a sensor for detecting the light angle. The sensor communicates with the controller. The controller controls the drive component according to the parameters detected by the sensor.

[0010] The fixed frame is provided with a connecting shaft, and the photovoltaic panel is provided with a cylindrical body that cooperates with the connecting shaft. The cylindrical body and the photovoltaic panel are an integral structure, and the width of the cylindrical body is equal to the width of the photovoltaic panel.

[0011] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a motor controlled by the controller, and the drive assembly also includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the fixed frame, the motor driving the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft being provided with a worm gear, and the photovoltaic module being provided with a worm wheel cooperating with the worm gear.

[0012] Preferably, the motor is fixed to the fixing frame with screws, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the rotating shaft through a coupling.

[0013] Preferably, the lower end of the fixed frame is provided with a shaft hole that mates with the rotating shaft. The shaft hole is a blind hole, a portion of the rotating shaft is located inside the shaft hole, and a rolling bearing is provided between the rotating shaft and the shaft hole.

[0014] Preferably, at least three photovoltaic panels are arranged in the fixed frame, each photovoltaic panel is provided with an independent worm gear, the worm and the rotating shaft are an integral structure, and each worm gear corresponds to an independent worm.

[0015] Preferably, the worm and the rotating shaft are an integral structure, and the major diameter of the worm is larger than the diameter of the rotating shaft.

[0016] Preferably, the worm gear is disposed in the cylinder.

[0017] Preferably, a reinforcing rib is provided between the cylindrical body and the photovoltaic panel, and the photovoltaic panel, the cylindrical body, and the reinforcing rib are an integral structure.

[0018] Preferably, the worm gear is located in the middle of the fixed frame.

[0019] Preferably, when the photovoltaic panels are in a vertical position, there is a line contact between two adjacent photovoltaic panels.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0021] 1. By setting up sensors and a controller, the sensors can detect the angle of sunlight. After the parameters detected by the sensors are received by the controller, the controller controls the drive mechanism to work, so that the photovoltaic panel faces the sunlight, thereby making the photovoltaic panel have a better light-receiving effect. The angle of the photovoltaic panel is automatically adjusted, eliminating the need for manual operation and reducing the labor intensity of operators.

[0022] 2. By setting a rotating shaft on the fixed frame and setting a cylindrical body on the photovoltaic panel, the cylindrical body and the rotating shaft have a larger contact area, which makes the photovoltaic panel and the fixed frame have a larger contact area. Stress concentration is less likely to occur on the photovoltaic panel and the fixed frame, thus making the photovoltaic panel and the fixed frame less prone to damage.

[0023] 3. By making the width of the cylinder equal to the width of the photovoltaic panel, a larger contact area is created between the cylinder and the photovoltaic panel, reducing stress concentration between them and making both the cylinder and the photovoltaic panel less prone to damage.

[0035] The specific embodiments shown below are intended to describe various configurations of the subject matter of this invention and are not intended to represent the only configuration in which the subject matter of this invention can be practiced. The specific embodiments include detailed descriptions intended to provide a thorough understanding of the subject matter of this invention. However, it will be clear and apparent to those skilled in the art that the subject matter of this invention is not limited to the specific details shown herein and can be practiced without these specific details.

[0036] Understandably, in this document, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are intended to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and are not intended to expressly or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0037] The terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase “comprising one…” does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the self-adjusting photovoltaic curtain wall according to the light intensity includes a fixed frame 1 installed on the building, and a curtain wall assembly 2 is provided in the fixed frame 1. The curtain wall assembly 2 includes a photovoltaic panel 21.

[0039] The photovoltaic panel 21 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 1;

[0040] The fixed frame 1 is also provided with a drive assembly 3 for driving the photovoltaic panel 21 to rotate relative to the fixed frame 1. The fixed frame 1 is also provided with a controller for controlling the drive assembly 3. The fixed frame 1 is provided with a sensor for detecting the light angle. The sensor communicates with the controller. The controller controls the drive assembly 3 according to the parameters detected by the sensor.

[0041] The fixed frame 1 is provided with a connecting shaft 12, and the photovoltaic panel 21 is provided with a cylindrical body 211 that cooperates with the connecting shaft 12. The cylindrical body 211 and the photovoltaic panel 21 are an integral structure, and the width of the cylindrical body 211 is equal to the width of the photovoltaic panel 21.

[0042] The sensor is used to detect the angle of sunlight, that is, the angle of incidence of sunlight. The controller controls the driver according to the parameters detected by the sensor so that the photovoltaic panel 21 faces the sunlight, thereby making the photovoltaic panel 21 have a better lighting effect.

[0043] The drive component 3, controller, and sensors can all be powered by the photovoltaic panel 21.

[0044] A photovoltaic panel 21 typically includes a solar panel and a frame, with the frame used to protect the solar panel. Therefore, the connection between the photovoltaic panel 21 and the fixed frame 1 refers to the connection between the frame and the fixed frame 1.

[0045] The width of the cylinder 211 refers to its dimension in the left-right direction, and the width of the photovoltaic panel 21 refers to its dimension in the left-right direction. That is, the dimensions of the cylinder 211 and the photovoltaic panel 21 are equal in one direction, so that the cylinder 211 and the photovoltaic panel 21 have a larger contact area and stress concentration will not occur on the photovoltaic panel 21.

[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the drive assembly 3 includes a motor 31 controlled by the controller. The drive assembly 3 also includes a rotating shaft 11 rotatably connected to the fixed frame 1. The motor 31 drives the rotating shaft 11. The rotating shaft 11 is provided with a worm gear 33. The photovoltaic module is provided with a worm wheel 212 that cooperates with the worm gear 33.

[0047] The worm gear 33 and worm wheel 212 have a self-locking mechanism. After the angle of the photovoltaic panel 21 is adjusted to the correct position, there is no need to set up other locking mechanisms. The angle of the photovoltaic panel 21 can be locked by the cooperation of the worm gear 33 and worm wheel 212, which simplifies the structure of the photovoltaic curtain wall.

[0048] In some embodiments, the motor 31 is fixed to the fixing frame 1 by screws, and the output shaft of the motor 31 is connected to the rotating shaft 11 by a coupling. The motor 31 can be fixed to the upper end of the fixing frame 1 by screws, or the motor 31 can be fixed to the upper end of the fixing frame 1 by other fasteners.

[0049] The output shaft of motor 31 and the rotating shaft 11 can also be an integrated structure.

[0050] The preferred solution is to connect the output shaft of motor 31 and the rotating shaft 11 via a coupling to prevent motor 31 from being damaged by overload.

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the lower end of the fixed frame 1 is provided with a shaft hole that mates with the rotating shaft 11. The shaft hole is a blind hole, a portion of the rotating shaft 11 is located inside the shaft hole, and a rolling bearing is provided between the rotating shaft 11 and the shaft hole.

[0052] The blind hole can position the rotating shaft 11 in the vertical direction and prevent the rotating shaft 11 from dislodging from or misaligning with the shaft hole, thus giving the photovoltaic curtain wall better security.

[0053] In some embodiments, at least three photovoltaic panels 21 are provided in the fixed frame 1, each photovoltaic panel 21 is provided with an independent worm gear 212, the worm 33 and the rotating shaft 11 are an integral structure, and each worm gear 212 corresponds to an independent worm 33.

[0054] The more photovoltaic panels 21 there are, the less force each photovoltaic panel 21 bears, and the less likely the drive component 3 is to be damaged.

[0055] In some embodiments, the worm gear 33 and the rotating shaft 11 are an integral structure, and the major diameter of the worm gear 33 is larger than the diameter of the rotating shaft 11.

[0056] The worm gear 212 is disposed on the cylinder 211. The connection structure between the drive assembly 3, the photovoltaic panel 21, and the fixed frame 1 is combined, simplifying the structure of the photovoltaic curtain wall.

[0057] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a reinforcing rib 213 is also provided between the cylindrical body 211 and the photovoltaic panel 21, and the photovoltaic panel 21, the cylindrical body 211, and the reinforcing rib 213 are an integral structure.

[0058] The worm gear 33 is located in the middle of the fixed frame 1. The photovoltaic panel 21 is subjected to uniform force and is not easily damaged.

[0059] When the photovoltaic panels 21 are in a vertical position, there is a line contact between two adjacent photovoltaic panels 21.

[0060] The two adjacent photovoltaic panels 21 are in line contact, and there is no interference between the two adjacent photovoltaic panels 21, which improves the stability of the photovoltaic curtain wall.

[0061] The above describes the subject matter technical solution of this utility model and its corresponding details. It is understood that the above description is only some implementation schemes of the subject matter technical solution of this utility model, and some details may be omitted in the specific implementation.

[0062] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the above utility model, multiple embodiments may be combined; however, due to space limitations, all such combinations will not be listed here. Those skilled in the art can freely combine the above embodiments according to their needs to achieve a better application experience.
