[0001] This application relates to a wind-driven curtain wall system combined with a water curtain, belonging to the field of building curtain wall technology. Background Technology
[0002] In architectural landscape design, water features can create atmosphere, improve the environment, and regulate microclimates. They can not only be the finishing touch to a space but also carry profound and auspicious connotations. However, most existing water curtains are inconvenient to install, noisy, have limited design options, consume a lot of water, have limited applicability, and are not very effective. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of this, this application provides a wind-driven curtain wall system that combines water curtains, which can effectively enrich the spatial effect of the water curtain viewing device, increase the visual focus, and the water curtain can also increase the ambient humidity and fine-tune the microclimate of the space.
[0004] Specifically, this application is implemented through the following scheme:
[0005] A wind-driven curtain wall system incorporating a water curtain includes a water curtain, air ducts, and wind-driven panels.
[0006] The water curtain is located in front of the foundation wall, and its top is connected to the water tank;

[0009] Several pneumatic vanes are installed, all located between the water curtain and the air duct. The blower blows air out through the air outlet to drive the pneumatic vanes to swing regularly.
[0010] In the above-mentioned device, the air ducts and pneumatic plates form a pneumatic curtain wall inside the water curtain. The water curtain, air ducts, and pneumatic plates are combined to form a pneumatic water curtain landscape system, which effectively increases the attention and practicality of the water curtain viewing system. It can also regulate the microclimate of the space and effectively improve the sense of layering of the water curtain device, making it more interesting and helping to relieve fatigue. The overall design is novel and the structure is simple, making it suitable for widespread promotion and application. The above-mentioned curtain wall system can be installed on the entire building, the entire floor wall, or local parts such as around elevators.
[0011] Furthermore, as a preferred option:
[0012] The duct is equipped with a grille, and the fan blades are installed in front of the duct through the grille.
[0013] The pneumatic blade is composed of multiple sets of metal plates connected in series.
[0014] The sink is equipped with a return water pump, which is connected to the water tank by a return water pipe, forming a closed loop of water circulation between the water tank and the sink.
[0015] The drain is equipped with a return water trough, which is connected to the drain. A return water branch pipe extends from the return water trough and connects to the return water pipe, thus circulating the drain water. More preferably, a grate is installed at the connection point between the top of the return water trough and the drain. The drain can be designed as an open structure, and the grate at the top of the return water trough can filter the drain water initially, preventing large particles or impurities from entering the return water pipe and causing blockages.

The return water trough connects to the drain through this slit, and the grate can be placed below the cover plate.
[0016] The sink is equipped with drainage channels, which are all connected to the sink. The drainage channels are located directly below the water curtain and are connected to drainage branch pipes to facilitate the drainage of water in the entire sink.
[0017] The aforementioned return water tank and drain tank can be installed separately or simultaneously.
[0018] In the above scheme, a separate water tank can be set up according to the water volume and the working requirements of the water curtain. The water tank and the water trough are connected by a water supply pipe, and the sink and the water tank are connected by a return water pipe.
[0019] The water tank includes an outlet area and an inlet area, separated by a filter screen. A return pipe connects to the inlet area, and water from the inlet area is introduced into the outlet area via a suction pipe, which is equipped with a water quality control mechanism. More preferably, the water quality control mechanism includes at least one, more, or all of the following: a filter circulation pump, a filter sand pump, a water quality analyzer, a dosing system, and an ozone injector. For example, the filter circulation pump and the filter sand pump can be sequentially installed along the suction pipe, and then the remaining pipelines can be connected to the water quality analyzer, the dosing system (for pH adjustment, etc.), the ultraviolet filter, and the ozone injector (used in conjunction with an ozone water concentration monitor, an ozone alarm, an ozone generator, etc.).
[0020] The water supply pipe is provided in multiple sets, and the return water pipe is provided in multiple sets, which are connected to different water tanks and sinks. Water circulation of multiple different water curtains and multiple wind-driven curtain wall systems is realized through a water tank.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:

Detailed Implementation
[0033] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this application easier to understand, the following describes this application in conjunction with specific implementation methods. Example 1
[0034] This embodiment describes a wind-driven curtain wall system that incorporates a water curtain. Figure 1 It includes the air duct 22, the fan blade 3, and the water curtain 4 arranged in sequence:
[0035] A water tank 41 is provided above the water curtain 4. When the bottom of the water tank 41 is opened, the water in the water tank 41 flows down the water curtain to form a water curtain.
[0036] To avoid water splashing and causing dampness, a sink 42 is installed below the water curtain 4. The water on the water curtain 4 flows down and collects in the sink 42.
[0037] The air duct 22 is connected to the fan 2 through the air supply duct 21, and an air outlet is formed by opening the side wall of the duct facing the fan blade 3 (not marked in the figure).
[0038] To ensure a tight seal, the connection between the fan 2 and the air supply pipe 21 is riveted with a rivet gun, and the connection between the air supply pipe 21 and the air pipe 22 is sealed with sealing tape.
[0039] The wind-driven plate 3 is located between the water curtain 4 and the air duct 22. The fan 2 blows air, which is sent into the air duct 22 through the air supply pipe 21 and then output through the air outlet on the air duct 22, thus blowing the wind-driven plate 3 to make it swing regularly, forming a wind-driven curtain wall.
[0040] The aforementioned air duct 22, wind-driven plate 3, and water curtain 4 constitute a water curtain-type wind-driven curtain wall system, which not only gives the curtain wall a wind-driven and flowing effect, achieving a dynamic curtain wall effect, but also achieves the regulation of environmental temperature and humidity, especially for dry and high-temperature environments, where the regulation effect is particularly ideal.
[0041] For ease of installation, pre-embedded parts 11 can be installed on the foundation wall 1 first, and then the grille 12 can be fixed to the pre-embedded parts 11, thus serving as the installation base for the water curtain 4, air duct 22, and air-driven plate 3. During installation, the fan 2 can be placed behind the foundation wall 1, and correspondingly, the air duct 22, air-driven plate 3, and water curtain 4 are all located in front of the foundation wall 1: the air duct 22 is located between the grille 12 and the foundation wall 1, and the air-driven plate 3 and water curtain 4 are installed sequentially on the other side of the grille 12. In this way, by adjusting the length of the air-driven plate 3 and water curtain 4, and with the help of the pre-embedded parts 11, curtain wall systems of different heights can be installed. They can be installed between single floors, or integrated between multiple floors from top to bottom, or installed around or near a certain equipment depending on the site, making them highly practical.
[0042] In the above scheme, as an alternative: the grille 12 can be composed of longitudinal square tubes 122 and transverse square tubes 121. The transverse square tubes 121 are welded to the embedded plate 1, the longitudinal square tubes 122 are welded to the transverse square tubes 121, and the air duct 3 is installed between the transverse square tubes 121 and the base wall 1.
[0043] As an alternative to the above scheme, a return water pump 433 can be installed in the sink 42, and a return water pipe 43 can be connected between the water tanks 41. With the help of the return water pump 433 and the return water pipe 43, the water falling from the water curtain 4 can be returned to the water tank 41 to achieve water circulation. The return water pump 433 pumps water from the bottom of the sink 42 to the water tank 41 from the bottom up. The water tank 41 sends water to the top of the water curtain 4. The water flows down the water curtain 4 in an organized manner and flows back to the sink 42, thereby forming a circulating water curtain effect.
[0044] In the above scheme, multiple air ducts 22 can be installed, and each air duct 22 is connected to the fan 2 through an air supply duct 21. The water curtain 4 can be composed of multiple metal chains, which introduce water from the water tank 41 into the sink 42 and control the direction of water flow to reduce splashing and noise. The wind-driven blades 3 are composed of multiple metal plates. When there is no wind, they can maintain the flatness of the facade without unevenness. In a light breeze, the wind-driven blades 3 can swing regularly when blown by the wind. In a light breeze or a level 1 wind, the wind-driven blades 3 can swing regularly. When the wind is level 12 or higher, the swing angle of the wind-driven blades 3 is less than 30 degrees.
[0045] In the above scheme, the embedded plate 11 can be a hot-dip galvanized embedded plate, which is used to reliably connect the grille 12 to the main structure, i.e., the foundation wall 1; the grille 12 can be a hot-dip galvanized square tube, which is used to fix the fan blade 3 and the air duct 22, and can withstand the load of the fan blade 3, the water curtain 4 and the air duct 22; the air duct 22 is a PVC air duct.
[0046] This project creates a curtain wall system that combines wind-driven and water curtain elements. When in operation, it makes full use of the dynamic sound of water and the transparency of water, using the wind-driven curtain wall as a backdrop to create an installation that allows the perception of light and shadow, water sounds, and air flow. This provides viewers with a pleasant visual and auditory background, while also effectively increasing ambient humidity and fine-tuning the microclimate of the space, thereby relieving nervous tension, eliminating fatigue, and benefiting the physical and mental health of users. Example 2
[0047] This embodiment describes a wind-driven curtain wall system that incorporates a water curtain. Figure 2 The curtain wall system, consisting of sequentially arranged air ducts 22, pneumatic blades 3, and water curtains 4, is installed on the foundation wall 1, which includes longitudinal walls 13 and transverse walls 14.
[0048] Combination Figure 3 A water tank 41 is installed at a certain height on the longitudinal wall 13. The water tank 41 is connected to the water curtain 4 through anchor bolts 414, sleeves 415 and similar structures. The bottom of the water tank 41 is ensured to be able to bear the load of the water curtain 4. The water tank 41 is also connected to a water supply pipe 411. The water supply pipe 411 is connected to the water supply branch pipe 412 through a ball valve 413. The other end of the water supply pipe 411 is connected to the water tank 5 through the water supply pump 57. The water in the water tank 5 is sent into the water tank 41 through the water supply pump 57, the water supply pipe 411, the ball valve 413 and the water supply branch pipe 412.
[0049] Two grooves are provided on the transverse wall 14: a return water groove 421 and a drain groove 425. Both the return water groove 421 and the drain groove 425 are connected to the sink 42, and the bottom of the grooves is lower than the bottom of the sink 42.
[0050] Combination Figure 4One or more return water branch pipes 431 are connected to the side of the return water tank 421. The other end of the return water branch pipe 431 is connected to the return water pipe 43. The end of the return water branch pipe 431 connected to the return water tank 421 is also covered with a waterproof sleeve 432. A cover plate 424 with a thickness of about 30 mm is set above the return water tank 421. The cover plate 424 does not completely block the top of the return water tank 421, leaving a return water gap 422 with a width of about 30 mm so that the return water tank 421 can be connected to the sink 42. A grate 423 with a thickness of about 30 mm can also be set on the top of the return water tank 421 (located between the return water tank 421 and the cover plate 424, and covering the return water gap 422). The grate 423 can be made of multiple strips with a spacing of 10 mm (the width can also be set to 10 mm) welded together along the same plane length direction to filter out impurities.
[0051] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 The bottom of the drain trough 425 is connected to a drain branch pipe 426 with a plug, and its outer wall can also be covered with a waterproof sleeve. The drain branch pipe 426 introduces water into the sewage well. The bottom of the water curtain 4 is connected to the fixing plate 428. The fixing plate 428 is fixed to the bottom of the drain trough 425 by fasteners 429 or similar means. Together with the anchor bolts 414 and sleeves 415 at the top, it prevents the water curtain 4 from shaking and swaying when the load water flows down.
[0052] In the above scheme, LED lights 427 (embedded in the horizontal wall 14) can also be installed in the drain trough 425 to form a lighting effect in conjunction with the water curtain.
[0053] The wind-driven curtain wall system in the above scheme can be equipped with water tank 5 and related pipe fittings.
[0054] by Figure 7 For example, the water tank 5 is divided into two parts by the filter grid 56: the inlet area 58 and the outlet area 59. The outlet area 59 is connected to the overflow pipe 53 and the drain pipe 54. A level gauge 52 is installed on one side of the outlet area. When the level is higher than the set value, the overflow pipe 53 introduces the water from the outlet area 59 into the drainage ditch. A valve is installed on the drain pipe 54 so that the water can be discharged directly when necessary.
[0055] Water outlet 59 is connected to suction pipe 51, and a filter circulation pump 511 is installed on suction pipe 51 to draw water from water outlet 59. After being filtered by filter sand cylinder 512, the water is tested by water quality analyzer 513 and ozone water concentration monitor 515. According to the water quality, the dosing system 514, ultraviolet filter 516 and ozone injector 517 (connected to ozone generator and equipped with ozone alarm 518) are activated. Water that meets the quality standards is then fed into water inlet 58.
[0056] One end of the water supply pipe 411 is connected to the water tank 41, and the other end is connected to the water inlet area 58 via the water supply pump 57. The qualified water is sent from the water inlet area 58 into the water tank 41. The water in the water tank 41 falls into the sink 42 after passing through the water curtain 4. It is then sent back to the outlet area 59 via the return water branch pipe 431 and the return water pipe 43 connected to the return water tank 421, thus completing the water circulation.
[0057] The water inlet area 58 can also be connected to the water supply pipe 55, so that fresh water can be directly pumped into the water inlet area 58 through the water supply bypass and other pipes.
[0058] In the above scheme, a set of water tanks 5 can also be equipped with multiple sets of wind-driven curtain wall systems, such as... Figure 8 As shown: the water tank of the left-side wind-driven curtain wall system is connected to the water inlet area 58 of the water tank 5 by a water curtain supply pipe 5a, and the return water tank is connected to the water outlet area 59 by a water curtain return water pipe 5c; the water tank of the right-side wind-driven curtain wall system is connected to the water inlet area 58 of the water tank 5 by a water curtain supply pipe 5b, and the return water tank is connected to the water outlet area 59 by a water curtain return water pipe 5d.
