[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
[0057] Certain embodiments of this disclosure will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings, some of which, but not all, will be shown. In fact, various embodiments of this disclosure may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to enable this disclosure to meet applicable legal requirements.
[0058] This disclosure provides a temperature-controlled louver, comprising: two flip rods, a drive mechanism, a suspension cable assembly, multiple louver slats, and a lifting cable assembly; the flip rods are connected to a fixed plate via hinge shafts; when the temperature-controlled louver is open, the two flip rods are arranged horizontally in parallel; when the temperature-controlled louver is closed, the two flip rods are arranged vertically in parallel; the drive shaft of the drive mechanism is connected to both flip rods simultaneously; the suspension cable assembly is connected to both ends of one flip rod, and the flip rod has a first pulley and a second pulley at both ends; the multiple louver slats are connected to the suspension cable assembly, and the louver slats are parallel to the flip rods; the inner arc surface of each louver slat is arranged upwards; the lifting cable assembly is connected to both ends of the other flip rod, and the lifting cable assembly passes through and connects to each louver slat, and is wound around the first pulley and the second pulley. This disclosure controls the arrangement of the louver slats through the flip rods to achieve the effect of regulating indoor temperature.
[0059] The components of the temperature-controlled louver in this embodiment will be described in detail below.
[0060] The louver slats have an arc-shaped cavity structure. The outer arc surface of the louver slats also includes a reflective coating; the inner arc surface of the louver slats also includes a diffuse reflective coating. Extensions are provided at both ends of the louver slats, and the extensions have rope holes for threading a first lifting sling and a second lifting sling.
[0061] The lifting sling assembly includes: a first lifting sling and a second lifting sling. Specifically,
[0062] The first lifting sling is wound around the first pulley on the inner arc surface; the first lifting sling is connected to each inner arc surface louver and is fixedly connected to the inner arc surface louver located at the bottom.
[0063] The second lifting sling is wound around the second pulley on the inner arc surface; the second lifting sling is connected to each inner arc surface louver and is fixedly connected to the inner arc surface louver located at the bottom.
[0064] The suspension cable assembly includes a first suspension cable and a second suspension cable, with multiple louvered panels connected at intervals to the first and second suspension cables. Specifically,
[0065] The first suspending cable is connected to the first end of one of the aforementioned flipping rods.
[0066] The second suspending cable is connected to the second end of one of the aforementioned flipping rods.
[0067] The options also include:
[0068] The hand-held block is connected to the first and second lifting cables on the inner arc surface. Pulling the hand-held block drives the movement of the lifting cable assembly.
[0069] A locking switch is connected to the first lifting sling and the second lifting sling respectively; the locking switch is used to lock the first lifting sling and the second lifting sling.
[0070] Two extensions are connected to both ends of the louver slat; each extension has a rope hole for threading the lifting cable assembly. By providing extensions at both ends of the louver slat body, the louver slat body becomes a sealed cavity structure, which improves temperature control.
[0071] The drive mechanism can be selected from drive components such as drive handles.
[0072] In a first exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, a temperature-controlled louver is provided. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a temperature-controlled louver according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a louvered window slat. (See diagram below.) Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a temperature-controlled louver, including: a fixed plate 10, a flip rod 11, a drive mechanism, and louver slats 20. Two flip rods 11 are respectively hinged to the inner arc surface of the fixed plate 10. The two flip rods are connected by the transmission shaft of the drive mechanism, and the two flip rods move synchronously. When the temperature-controlled louver is open, the two flip rods are parallel in the horizontal direction; when the temperature-controlled louver is closed, the two flip rods are parallel in the vertical direction. The hinge shaft is connected to the drive mechanism, specifically, the hinge shaft is axially connected to the transmission rod of the drive mechanism. The end of the flip rod 11 closest to the fixed plate 10 is the first end, and the end of the flip rod 11 furthest from the fixed plate 10 is the second end. The two ends of the fixed plate 10 are respectively provided with a first hanging cable 31 and a second hanging cable 32. The louver slats 20 are fixedly connected to the first hanging cable 31 and the second hanging cable 32 at intervals, and each louver slat 20 is parallel to the inner arc surface of the flip rod 11. This allows the rotating rod 11 to naturally drive the veil 20 to rotate, enabling the veil 20 to flip upwards or downwards. It should be noted that the pulley is fixedly connected to the rotating rod; the pulley does not need to rotate but moves in tandem with the rotating rod. It is also important to know that the suspension cable is fixedly connected to the veil 20, which is necessary for the rotating rod 11 to drive the veil 20 to rotate. The drive shaft of the drive mechanism ensures synchronized and coordinated movement of the two rotating rods 11, preventing the problem of one rotating rod rotating while the other remains stationary.
[0073] The flipping rod 11 is also equipped with a first pulley 12 and a second pulley 13 at both ends. A first lifting cable 33 and a second lifting cable 34 are respectively attached to the two pulleys. The first lifting cable 33 passes through the rope hole on each louver slat 20 and is fixedly connected to the louver slat 20 at the bottom. The second lifting cable 34 passes through the rope hole on each louver slat 20 and is fixedly connected to the louver slat 20 at the bottom. Both the first lifting cable 33 and the second lifting cable 34 are connected to the hand block 35. Pulling the hand block 35 can drive the bottom louver slat 20 to move upward through the lifting cable. In the process of further upward movement, the upper louver slats 20 are continuously lifted to lift all the louver slats.
[0074] The louver slat 20 has an arc-shaped cross-section, with a reflective coating on the outer arc surface and a diffuse reflective coating on the inner arc surface. The drive mechanism is connected to a hinge rod. With the inner arc surface of the louver slat 20 facing upwards, when the louver slat 20 is horizontally arranged, the diffuse reflective coating on the inner arc surface not only absorbs heat but also radiates non-absorbable heat into the room through diffuse reflection, effectively increasing the indoor temperature. The outer arc surface 21 and inner arc surface 22 of the louver slat 20 are closed at both ends, forming a sealed cavity 24 between them. This sealed cavity 24 further insulates heat on top of the external reflective coating, and when the diffuse reflective coating on the inner arc surface 22 absorbs heat, it stores the heat within the cavity and gradually radiates it into the indoor space. By constructing this insulated cavity, the insulation and heat preservation effects are improved. The louver slats 20 are also provided with extensions 23 at both ends, and the extensions 23 are provided with rope holes for the drive rope to pass through and be fixedly connected.
[0075] The temperature-controlled louver provided by this invention can be controlled by flipping the lever in both directions, so that the outer or inner arc surface of the louver slats can face outwards: when the outer arc surface faces outwards, the reflective coating can play a role in heat insulation, effectively reducing the indoor temperature; when the inner arc surface faces outwards, the diffuse reflection coating can increase the indoor temperature by absorbing heat.
[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, the louver slat 20 includes an outer arc surface 21 and an inner arc surface 22. Extensions 23 are connected to both sides of the outer and inner arc surfaces 21 and 22 and extend outwards. Each extension 23 has a cable hole for a drive rope to pass through and be securely connected. The two ends of the outer and inner arc surfaces 21 and 22 are closed, forming a sealed cavity 24 between them. This sealed cavity 24 further insulates heat on top of the heat insulation provided by the external reflective coating. Furthermore, when the diffuse reflective coating of the inner arc surface 22 absorbs heat, the heat is stored within the cavity and gradually radiated into the interior space. By constructing this heat-insulating cavity, the heat insulation and heat preservation effects can be improved.
[0077] Locking switches are installed on the first and second lifting slings to allow both slings to pass through and to lock them in place. When the lifting slings are pulled by the hand block 35, the locking switches clamp the slings and fix them in place. Only when the locking switches are opened can the lifting slings be lowered by the weight of the louvers.
[0078] In a specific embodiment, the driving mechanism may be a driving handle, which may be mounted on the flipping rod 11 or on the transmission shaft.
[0079] In a specific embodiment, the louver slat 20 may be a single-layer aluminum alloy slat.
