Description

Technical Field

[0001] As the title of the invention indicates, the present invention aims at providing a photovoltaic blind capable of converting solar radiation into electrical energy. This is an innovation in terms of current technology, which can bring hitherto unknown advantages. In addition, as a supplement, the photovoltaic blind can be adjusted at a specific angle.

[0002] The invention belongs to the field of household and self-use electricity. The invention relates to a photovoltaic blind that utilizes solar radiation to convert it into electrical energy, and the entire blind can be adjusted to more effectively absorb solar radiation. Background Art

[0003] With respect to the prior art it should be noted that, although at least the applicant is aware of the existence of several designs of shutters, the applicant is not aware of the existence of any designs having the same or similar structural and constructional features as those described herein. Summary of the invention

[0004] The invention claimed herein utilizes sunlight by installing a photovoltaic system on the blades of the blinds, converting it into electrical energy.

[0005] One of the main functions of these elements is to protect houses and buildings from direct sunlight by receiving solar radiation, so it is suitable to install photovoltaic elements that use solar radiation, convert it into electrical energy and store it in a storage medium, which can then be managed intelligently to use the aforementioned electrical energy when energy costs are high, promoting energy self-use and energy saving. But it can also be connected directly to the grid.

[0006] In addition, as a supplementary solution, the present invention not only includes equipping the blades of the blinds with photovoltaic panels, but also in order to absorb solar energy more efficiently, it can also orient the blades containing the photovoltaic panels at a certain angle by rotating around an axis, thereby improving the efficiency of the photovoltaic panels and greatly increasing the generated electrical energy.

[0007] Likewise, the structure for placing the blades with photovoltaic panels comprises a bidirectional system and divides the rail comprising the structure for placing the blades with photovoltaic panels into at least 3 sectors, so that the rail and the extended blades are separated from the window at an angle up to 90°.

[0008] Then, according to the user's needs, the direction of the structure of the blade with the photovoltaic panel is locked by a fixing device.

[0009] Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific elements used herein have the meaning commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the invention belongs. In the practice of the present invention, procedures and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein may be used.

[0010] Throughout the specification and claims, the word "comprise" and its variants do not exclude other technical features, additives, ingredients or steps. For those skilled in the art, other purposes, advantages and features of the present invention are partly derived from the specification and partly from the practice of the present invention.

[0024] The preferred embodiments of the proposed invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] As shown in the figure, the photovoltaic blind is of the rolling type, comprising a plurality of blades (1), each of which comprises at least one photovoltaic panel (2) facing outwards, which is capable of converting solar radiation into electrical energy and transmitting it to an electrical storage medium. Each end of the blade (1) has a friction surface (3) adjacent to the photovoltaic panel (2), and the photovoltaic panel is configured to slide along a guide rail (4) like any rolling blind.

[0026] According to different embodiments, the friction surface (3) and the blade (1) can constitute a single element, or can be connected together by connecting means to form different components that are permanently or temporarily connected.

[0027] The photovoltaic panel (2) has an inclination angle relative to the blade (1) so as to absorb sunlight.

[0028] The blades (1) are connected at their sides to a stopper (8) via a shaft (9) which enables the blades (1) to rotate about it, and the blades (1) are connected together via a chain link (7) which regulates the rotation of the blades (1) about the shaft (9).

[0029] The stopper (8) slides along a guide rail (11) forming a structure (10) containing the blade (1), the adjustable guide rail (11) being subdivided into a first section (11.1), a second section (11.2) and a third section (11.3), the first section (11.1), the second section (11.2) and the third section (11.3) being connected together by a hinge (6), the hinge (6) being configured to allow the structure (10) containing the blade (1) to be separated from the window (5) and oriented relative to the window at an angle of 0° to 90° when it is opened.

[0030] The main fixture (12) is connected to the structure (10) by an axis configured to allow the main fixture (12) to pivot, while at the other end it slides along a profile (13) located on the window (5), the profile comprising at one end a locking device configured to lock the direction of the structure (10).

[0031] The second fixing device (14) is connected to the second section (11.2) at one end and is connected to a profile (13) configured to block the second section (11.2) from opening to prevent excessive opening at the other end.

[0032] Fig.12 Two views are shown in which it is possible to see a blade (1) designed for an external drawer, the concavity of which is varied without changing the essence of the inventive subject matter.

[0033] After fully explaining the essence of the present invention and the embodiments of the present invention, it should be pointed out that within the essential scope of the present invention, the present invention can be implemented in other forms of implementation, which are different in details from the forms indicated by the examples.
