Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power generation curtain wall technology, and particularly relates to cadmium telluride power generation glass matrix and curtain wall. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional glass curtain walls with rotating windows cannot structurally meet the functions of concealing and maintaining cadmium telluride power generation glass cables. Generally, cadmium telluride power generation glass curtain walls with rotating windows are not connected to photovoltaic circuits.

[0003] Traditional top-hinged window systems for curtain walls are designed for conventional architectural glass, enabling opening and closing while maintaining curtain wall performance such as airtightness, watertightness, thermal insulation, and sound insulation when closed. However, they are ill-suited for cadmium telluride (CDT) electroluminescent glass curtain walls. This is because CDT has electrical functions such as stringing, wiring, maintenance, and grid connection, placing higher demands on the opening structure. It must both preserve the original physical properties of the curtain wall and meet electrical requirements. Traditional top-hinged windows cannot fulfill these functions, necessitating a complete redesign. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention discloses a cadmium telluride (CdT) power-generating glass matrix, which enables electrical connection functions without adding additional cable trays and connectors, and features a simpler structure and more reliable connections. This invention also discloses a cadmium telluride power-generating glass curtain wall incorporating the aforementioned CdT power-generating glass matrix.

[0005] The specific technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A cadmium telluride power-generating glass matrix, including at least one top-rotating window system;

[0007] Any upward rotating window system includes:

[0008] The window frame has a mounting groove, and a cable connector is installed in the mounting groove;

[0009] A first photovoltaic glass, the top of which is provided with a first photovoltaic junction box, the first photovoltaic junction box and a cable connector being electrically connected via a photovoltaic cable; and

[0010] A fan-shaped frame, which is connected to the top of the first photovoltaic glass and is rotatably connected to the window frame;

[0011] The window frame has an extension, which is located on the side of the first photovoltaic glass and extends toward the bottom of the first photovoltaic glass, forming a wiring channel between the extension and the first photovoltaic glass.

[0012] The photovoltaic cable has a flexibility allowance.

[0013] The window frame is provided with a mounting groove to accommodate a cable connector, thereby shortening the distance between the cable connector and the first photovoltaic junction box. In addition, the photovoltaic cable has a telescopic allowance so that rotating the first photovoltaic glass will not affect the cable connector. Furthermore, since the wiring channel is formed between the extension and the first photovoltaic glass, space is also provided for wiring.

[0014] Preferably, the window frame and the sash frame are rotatably connected by hardware.

[0015] Hardware components can effectively serve the functions of connection and transmission.

[0016] Preferred options also include:

[0017] A first sealing strip and a second sealing strip are both disposed between the window frame and the sash frame;

[0018] In the case where the sash frame is closed to the window frame, the first sealing strip, the window frame, the second sealing strip, and the sash frame form an accommodating space, the photovoltaic cable passes through the accommodating space, and the hardware is located within the accommodating space.

[0019] This accommodating space meets the needs of electrical connections, and at the same time, it is equivalent to an isobaric chamber, ensuring the airtightness and watertightness of the upper rotating window system.

[0020] Preferably, both the first sealing strip and the second sealing strip are separate sealing strips;

[0021] When the sash frame is open to the window frame, both the first and second sealing strips are separated.

[0022] With the sash frame closed to the window frame, both the first and second sealing strips are pressed together.

[0023] By using a separate sealing strip, the sealing performance of the top-hung window system can be ensured after the window is closed.

[0024] Preferably, both the first sealing strip and the second sealing strip are made of EPDM.

[0025] EPDM is ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber, which has excellent weather resistance, heat resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and water vapor resistance.

[0026] Preferably, it includes two adjacent upward-rotating window systems;

[0027] The cable connectors of the two top-rotating window systems are electrically connected.

[0028] Two cable connectors allow the two upper window systems to be powered independently without affecting the rotational movement of the upper window systems.

[0029] Preferably, it includes an upward-swivel window system and a fixed window system arranged adjacent to each other;

[0030] The fixed window system includes:

[0031] The second photovoltaic glass has a second photovoltaic junction box on its top, and the second photovoltaic junction box is electrically connected to a cable connector.

[0032] In the same cadmium telluride power-generating glass matrix, the fixed window system is electrically connected to the adjacent top-rotating window system via cable connectors, thus avoiding the need for additional connectors.

[0033] Preferably, it includes multiple fixed window systems;

[0034] A fourth photovoltaic junction box is provided at the bottom of the second photovoltaic glass;

[0035] The second and fourth photovoltaic junction boxes of one of the fixed window systems are electrically connected to the second and fourth photovoltaic junction boxes of other fixed window systems and form an electrical circuit with a cable connector.

[0036] Multiple fixed window systems in the same cadmium telluride power-generating glass matrix form an electrical circuit through a single cable connector, avoiding the need for additional connectors.

[0037] Preferably, it includes multiple upward-rotating window systems;

[0038] The top of the upper rotating window system also has a third photovoltaic junction box;

[0039] The third photovoltaic junction box of one of the top-mounted window systems is electrically connected to the third photovoltaic junction box and the first photovoltaic junction box of the other top-mounted window systems, and forms an electrical circuit through two cable connectors.

[0040] Multiple top-rotating window systems in the same cadmium telluride power generation glass matrix form an electrical circuit through two cable connectors, ensuring that the wiring is not affected during rotation.

[0041] The cadmium telluride power-generating glass curtain wall includes the cadmium telluride power-generating glass matrix as described above.

[0042] The cadmium telluride power-generating glass curtain wall consists of one or more cadmium telluride power-generating glass matrices, which allows both fixed window systems and top-hung window systems to be connected to the circuit simultaneously, increasing power generation while improving the uniformity of the building's curtain wall color.

[0043] Compared with existing technologies, this invention enables the top-rotating window system to meet the structural requirements of cadmium telluride power generation glass cable concealment and maintenance on the basis of traditional glass curtain walls, ensuring the original physical properties of the glass curtain wall while meeting electrical requirements.

Detailed Implementation

[0052] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0053] like Figures 1-2As shown, a cadmium telluride photovoltaic glass matrix includes at least one top-hinged window system 100; any one of the top-hinged window systems 100 includes a window frame 1, a first photovoltaic glass 2, and a sash frame 3; the window frame 1 has an installation groove, and a cable connector 4 is provided in the installation groove; a first photovoltaic junction box 5 is provided on the top of the first photovoltaic glass 2, and the first photovoltaic junction box 5 and the cable connector 4 are electrically connected through a photovoltaic cable 8; the sash frame 3 is connected to the top of the first photovoltaic glass 2 and is rotatably connected to the window frame 1; the window frame 1 has an extension 6, the extension 6 is located on the side of the first photovoltaic glass 2 and extends toward the bottom of the first photovoltaic glass 2, and a wiring channel 7 is formed between the extension 6 and the first photovoltaic glass 2; the photovoltaic cable 8 has a telescopic allowance.

[0054] In this embodiment, the window frame 1 and the sash frame 3 are rotatably connected by hardware 9.

[0055] In fact, the cadmium telluride power generation glass matrix also includes a curtain wall keel 16, and the window frame 1 is fixedly connected to the curtain wall keel 16. On this basis, the sash frame 3 is rotatably connected to the window frame 1 through hardware 9.

[0056] The mounting groove of the window frame 1 has wiring holes, and the window frame 1 also has wiring holes. The two ends of the photovoltaic cable 8 pass through the two wiring holes respectively and are electrically connected to the cable connector 4 and the first photovoltaic junction box 5, thereby achieving a concealed electrical connection. The mounting groove has an aluminum buckle cover, which further allows the cable connector 4 to pass through.

[0057] To better utilize this embodiment, a first sealing strip 10 and a second sealing strip 11 are also included. Both the first sealing strip 10 and the second sealing strip 11 are disposed between the window frame 1 and the sash frame 3. When the sash frame 3 is closed to the window frame 1, the first sealing strip 10, the window frame 1, the second sealing strip 11, and the sash frame 3 form an accommodating space. The photovoltaic cable 8 passes through the accommodating space, and the hardware 9 is located within the accommodating space.

[0058] In this embodiment, both the first sealing strip 10 and the second sealing strip 11 are made of EPDM.

[0059] In this embodiment, the accommodating space, together with the aluminum buckle cover, forms a sealed space, achieving a concealed design while meeting the requirements for water tightness and air tightness.

[0060] The first sealing strip 10 and the second sealing strip 11 are both separate sealing strips. In actual use, when the sash frame 3 is open to the window frame 1, the first sealing strip 10 and the second sealing strip 11 are both in a separated state; when the sash frame 3 is closed to the window frame 1, the first sealing strip 10 and the second sealing strip 11 are both in a pressed state.

[0061] In some embodiments, the cadmium telluride power-generating glass matrix includes two adjacently arranged upper rotating window systems 100; the cable connectors 4 of the two upper rotating window systems 100 are electrically connected.

[0062] In some embodiments, multiple top-mounted window systems are included. The top of the top-mounted window system 100 also has a third photovoltaic junction box 12; the third photovoltaic junction box 12 of one of the top-mounted window systems 100 is electrically connected to the third photovoltaic junction box 12 and the first photovoltaic junction box 5 of the other top-mounted window systems 100, and forms an electrical circuit through two cable connectors 4.

[0063] At this point, let the top right end of any one of the top rotating window systems 100 be the first photovoltaic junction box 5, and the top left end be the third photovoltaic junction box 12.

[0064] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when two upper rotating window systems 100 are set up adjacent to each other, the two upper rotating window systems 100 are symmetrical with respect to the center line of the curtain wall keel 16. At this time, the cable connectors 4 of the two upper rotating window systems 100 are electrically connected. Specifically, the cables connecting the two cable connectors 4 pass through different mounting slots and are connected to the cable connectors 4.

[0065] At this time, the first photovoltaic junction box 5 at the right end of the left upper rotating window system 100 and the third photovoltaic junction box 12 at the left end of the right upper rotating window system 100 are electrically connected through their respective cable connectors 4, while the third photovoltaic junction box 12 at the left end of the left upper rotating window system 100 and the first photovoltaic junction box 5 at the right end of the right upper rotating window system 100 are directly electrically connected, thus forming an electrical circuit.

[0066] At this time, the cable electrically connected to the third photovoltaic junction box 12 at the left end of the left upper rotating window system 100 and the first photovoltaic junction box 5 at the right end of the right upper rotating window system 100 is routed through the wiring channel 7.

[0067] like Figure 4 As shown, when the two upper rotating window systems 100 are arranged adjacent to each other, the third photovoltaic junction box 12 at the left end of the upper upper rotating window system 100 is electrically connected to the third photovoltaic junction box 12 at the left end of the lower upper rotating window system 100, while the first photovoltaic junction box 5 at the right end of the upper upper rotating window system 100 and the first photovoltaic junction box 5 at the right end of the lower upper rotating window system 100 are electrically connected through their respective cable connectors 4. It is known that the cables are also routed in the wiring channel 7.

[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, there are two adjacent window systems: a rotating window system 100 and a fixed window system 200; the fixed window system 200 includes a second photovoltaic glass 13, and a second photovoltaic junction box 14 is provided on the top of the second photovoltaic glass 13, and the second photovoltaic junction box 14 is electrically connected to the cable connector 4.

[0069] In this embodiment, the fixed window system 200 cannot be rotated, so the cable connector 4 of the adjacent rotating window system 100 can be directly connected to the existing electrical connection.

[0070] It is known that any one of the top-mounted window systems 100 has a first photovoltaic junction box 5 and a third photovoltaic junction box 12, and has two corresponding cable connectors 4. In specific use, one of the two cable connectors 4 can be selected.

[0071] In other embodiments, multiple fixed window systems 200 are included; a fourth photovoltaic junction box 15 is provided at the bottom of the second photovoltaic glass 13; the second photovoltaic junction box 14 and the fourth photovoltaic junction box 15 of one of the fixed window systems 200 are electrically connected to the second photovoltaic junction boxes 14 and the fourth photovoltaic junction box 15 of the other fixed window systems 200, and form an electrical circuit with a cable connector 4.

[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, for example, when the fixed window system 200 is set up vertically, the fourth photovoltaic junction box 15 of the upper fixed window system 200 is adjacent to the second photovoltaic junction box 14 of the lower fixed window system 200, and direct wiring is sufficient. The second photovoltaic junction box 14 of the upper fixed window system 200 and the fourth photovoltaic junction box 15 of the lower fixed window system 200 are connected via cable connector 4. In this case, the wiring is routed through the wiring channel 7.

[0073] The cadmium telluride power-generating glass curtain wall includes the cadmium telluride power-generating glass matrix as described above.

[0074] like Figure 7 As shown, generally speaking, there are multiple cadmium telluride power generation glass matrices in the same cadmium telluride power generation glass curtain wall. The following description uses one cadmium telluride power generation glass matrix as an example.

[0075] The cadmium telluride power-generating glass comprises four top-hinged window systems 100 and two fixed window systems 200. They are arranged in two rows, with each row consisting of, from left to right, a top-hinged window system 100, a fixed window system 200, and another top-hinged window system 100. The six window systems, from left to right and from top to bottom, are, in order: System 1, System 2, System 3, System 4, System 5, and System 6.

[0076] It should be noted that, in the above systems, for the top-rotating window system 100, the first photovoltaic junction box 5 is located at the top right end of the first photovoltaic glass 2, and the third photovoltaic junction box 12 is located at the top left end of the first photovoltaic glass 2; for the fixed window system 200, the second photovoltaic junction box 14 is located at the top right end of the second photovoltaic glass 13, and the fourth photovoltaic junction box 15 is located at the lower right end of the second photovoltaic glass 13.

[0077] During wiring, the third photovoltaic junction box 12 of the first system is electrically connected to the third photovoltaic junction box 12 of the fourth system, the first photovoltaic junction box 5 of the fourth system is electrically connected to the third photovoltaic junction box 12 of the sixth system, the first photovoltaic junction box 5 of the sixth system is electrically connected to the first photovoltaic junction box 5 of the third system, the third photovoltaic junction box 12 of the third system is electrically connected to the corresponding cable connector 4 of the third system, the first photovoltaic junction box 5 of the first system is electrically connected to the corresponding cable connector 4 of the first system, and then the two cable connectors 4 are electrically connected.

[0078] The second system is located between the first system and the third system, and its second photovoltaic junction box 14 is electrically connected to the cable connector 4 of the corresponding third system; the fifth system is located between the fourth system and the sixth system, and its fourth photovoltaic junction box 15 is also electrically connected to the cable connector 4 of the corresponding third system; in addition, the fourth photovoltaic junction box 15 of the second system is electrically connected to the second photovoltaic junction box 14 of the fifth system.

[0079] In the above wiring path, the wiring between different upper rotating window systems 100 is achieved through the wiring channel 7, and the fifth system is also electrically connected to the cable connector 4 through the wiring channel 7.

[0080] Thus, through the above wiring, the electrical connection of a cadmium telluride photovoltaic glass matrix is ​​achieved. Furthermore, the wiring method described above avoids wiring problems caused by the rotation of the first photovoltaic glass 2 in the upper rotating window system 100.

[0081] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the above preferred embodiments should not be considered as limitations on the present invention, and the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims. For those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
