Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of insulated glass technology, specifically to an intelligent dimming and gradient insulated glass and its method. Background Technology

[0002] Insulating glass is a new type of building material with good heat insulation, sound insulation, aesthetic appeal, and can reduce the self-weight of buildings. It is made by bonding two panes of glass to an aluminum alloy frame containing a desiccant using a high-strength, high-airtightness composite adhesive, resulting in high-performance sound and heat insulation glass.

[0003] Chinese patent (publication number: CN 209724069 U) discloses an intelligent dimming gradient insulated glass. It combines a dimming film and a gradient film, resulting in a simple overall structure. It can automatically change the light transmittance of the glass according to changes in the external ambient voltage, while also displaying a gradient pattern. This can improve the comfort of the surrounding environment and enhance the aesthetics. However, since there is sunlight shining in during the day, the dimming film is affected by both voltage and external light, leading to inconsistent light transmittance of the insulated glass. Therefore, the above-mentioned patent is only suitable for use at night or on cloudy days. Furthermore, due to the different angles of sunlight during the day, the dimming film cannot easily adjust the light according to the angle of sunlight. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-3 The insulated glass with intelligent dimming gradient in this embodiment includes an insulated glass body 1, two horizontal frame plates 2, and two vertical frame plates 3. The insulated glass body 1 includes a first glass 11, a second glass 12, a dimming film 13, and a gradient film 14.

[0030] Secondly, the first glass 11 and the second glass 12 are respectively fixed between two horizontal frame plates 2 and two vertical frame plates 3, and the gradient film 14 is fixed in front of the dimming film 13.

[0031] Please see Figure 2-4 In this embodiment, the adjustment component includes a connecting plate 41 fixed to the upper and lower ends of the dimming film 13 and the gradient film 14. The adjustment component also includes a slot 45 opened on the top of the lower horizontal frame plate 2. The left and right walls inside the slot 45 are provided with grooves 46. The bottom of the inner cavity of the front and rear grooves 46 are respectively fixed with a micro motor 47 and a vertical rod 48 rotatably connected by a bearing. The top of the vertical rod 48 is rotatably connected to the top of the inner cavity of the rear groove 46 by a bearing. The output end of the micro motor 47 and the outer surface of the vertical rod 48 are both fixed with sprockets 49. The outer surfaces of the two sprockets 49 are meshed with a chain 410. A moving block 411 is fixed on the right side of the chain 410. The adjustment component also includes a rotating structure set inside the lower connecting plate 41.

[0032] Please see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the rotating structure includes a concave plate 44 on the top of the moving block 411, a crossbar 43 fixed on the inner side of the concave plate 44, two connecting blocks 42 rotatably connected to the outer surface of the crossbar 43, support blocks 412 fixed on both the left and right sides of the lower end of the concave plate 44, and two sliding grooves 413 opened at the bottom of the inner side of the slot 45.

[0033] Among them, the support block 412 is located inside the slide groove 413, and the support block 412 and the slide groove 413 are slidably connected, so that the moving block 411 can drive the concave plate 44 to reciprocate in the slot 45 in the lower horizontal frame plate 2.

[0034] Furthermore, the tops of both connecting blocks 42 are fixed to the lower end of the lower connecting plate 41, and the top of the upper connecting plate 41 is hinged to the lower end of the upper horizontal frame plate 2, which facilitates the tilting movement of the dimming film 13 and the gradient film 14.

[0035] In addition, each of the two connecting blocks 42 has a round hole on one side opposite to the other. The crossbar 43 passes through the inside of the two round holes and is slidably connected to them, so that the connecting block 42 can rotate on the outer surface of the crossbar 43.

[0036] Please see Figure 5 In this embodiment, the wiping assembly 5 includes two sliders 51 that are slidably connected to each other on the opposite side of two vertical frame plates 3. Wiping blocks 52 are inserted into the inside of the two sliders 51. Slots 53 are provided on the opposite side of the two sliders 51. Insertion blocks 54 are fixed at the left and right ends of the top of the wiping block 52. A T-shaped groove 55 is provided on the top of the inner side of the slot 53.

[0037] Secondly, slide rails are provided on opposite sides of the two vertical frame plates 3. The slider 51 is located inside the slide rail and is slidably connected to it, so that the two sliders 51 can move steadily on opposite sides of the two vertical frame plates 3 through the slide rails.

[0038] In addition, the wiping block 52 is located inside the slot 53 and is inserted into the slot 53, so that the wiping block 52 can be inserted into the two sliders 51 so that the wiping block 52 can wipe the insulating glass body 1.

[0039] Meanwhile, the plug-in block 54 is T-shaped and is located inside the T-shaped groove 55 and plugged into it, so that the plug-in block 54 can be plugged into the interior of the slider 51, thereby increasing the connection area between the wiping block 52 and the slider 51.

[0040] It should be noted that the electronic components mentioned in this article are all commonly known in the prior art, and the control method is controlled by the control terminal, which is also commonly known in the prior art. Furthermore, the existing power connection technology and power supply are common knowledge in the field, and those skilled in the art can easily implement them through programming. Therefore, the article will not elaborate on their working principles, circuit connections, and control methods.

[0041] This invention also provides a dimming method for intelligent dimming gradient insulated glass, comprising the following steps:

[0042] S1. After the dimming film 13 and the gradient film 14 overlap, when external light shines into the dimming film 13, the adjustment component can adjust the angle of the dimming film 13.

[0043] S2. Two sprockets 49 mesh with the chain 410, so that the chain 410 can drive the moving block 411 to move.

[0044] S3, and can make the moving block 411 move the lower connecting plate 41 through the concave plate 44;

[0045] S4. The lower connecting plate 41 can drive the dimming film 13 to tilt back and forth.

[0046] S5. After step S4 is completed, the light transmittance of the insulating glass body 1 can be adjusted by the dimming film 13 and the gradient film 14.

[0047] S6. This allows the dimming film 13 to be adjusted according to the angle of external light.

[0048] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0049] When the insulating glass body 1 needs to be dimmed during the day, the output end of the micro motor 47 drives the front sprocket 49 to rotate, which in turn drives the rear sprocket 49 to rotate on the outer surface of the upright 48 via the chain 410. This allows the two sprockets 49 to drive the chain 410 for transmission. During transmission, the chain 410 can move the moving block 411, which in turn moves the lower connecting plate 41 via the concave plate 44. This causes the two connecting blocks 42 to rotate on the outer surface of the crossbar 43, which in turn causes the lower connecting plate 41 to tilt the dimming film 13 and the gradient film 14. Users can adjust the tilt angle of the dimming film 13 according to different external light irradiation angles. This is suitable for daytime use. If adjustment is needed at night or on cloudy days, the dimming film 13 can be adjusted according to the external ambient voltage, thus increasing its applicability.

[0050] When the surface of the insulating glass body 1 needs to be wiped, the user moves the wiping block 52 so that the wiping block 52 can move on opposite sides of the two vertical frame plates 3 via the two sliders 51, so that the wiping block 52 can wipe the insulating glass body 1. If it needs to be replaced, it can simply be pulled out of the slots 53 of the two sliders 51.
