Multi-pulley transmission self-adapting building photovoltaic skin
The adaptive building photovoltaic (PV) skin system, which uses a multi-pulley drive, utilizes a motor-driven steel cable to move a sliding frame to achieve flexible folding of PV units. This solves the problem of integrating PV panels with the building facade, achieving the energy-saving and carbon-reduction goals and aesthetic effects of zero-carbon buildings.

AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies have failed to effectively integrate photovoltaic panels with building facades, making it impossible to achieve flexible and precise dynamic adjustments, which makes it difficult to achieve the energy-saving and carbon-reduction goals of zero-carbon buildings.
The adaptive building photovoltaic (PV) skin system, which employs multi-pulley drive, uses independent control systems in the horizontal and vertical directions. It utilizes motors and transmission rods to drive steel wire ropes to propel sliding frames, enabling flexible folding and transformation of PV units. It is also modularly installed in conjunction with telescopic components.
It enables flexible control over building facades, creates a favorable indoor light and heat environment, increases photovoltaic power generation, reduces carbon emissions, and enhances the building's aesthetics.
