[0002] With the rapid economic development and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, buildings are increasingly developing in the direction of high-rise, high-end and multifunctional. As people's environmental awareness continues to strengthen, the society's call for environmental protection and energy conservation is getting higher and higher, and people have also put forward new requirements for environmental protection and energy conservation in buildings. The concept of sustainable development in the construction industry is based on the effective use of resources, healthy environment and production efficiency as the basic principles. The curtain wall is the outer wall of the building, which is hung like a curtain, so it is also called the "curtain wall". It is a lightweight wall with decorative effects commonly used in modern large and high-rise buildings.

[0003] In the existing related technologies, generally, thermal insulation cotton or foaming agent is laid between the outer wall and the curtain wall of the building to improve the thermal insulation performance of the building. However, this method has poor thermal insulation effect and the cost of installation and maintenance is too high. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to improve the problem that the existing building curtain walls have poor thermal insulation effects on buildings, the present application provides energy-saving and environmentally friendly building curtain walls and installation methods thereof.

[0005] In the first aspect, the present application provides an energy-saving and environmentally friendly building curtain wall, which adopts the following technical solution: An energy-saving and environment-friendly building curtain wall comprises a capillary network, a mounting bracket and a curtain wall body, wherein the capillary network is laid on the outer wall of the building, the mounting bracket is connected to the outer wall of the building and to the outer side of the capillary network by bolts, and the curtain wall body is assembled on the mounting bracket; an upper water tank is provided on the top of the building, a lower water tank is provided at the bottom of the building, a plurality of heat collecting pipes are provided on the outer wall of the upper water tank, the heat collecting pipes are used to absorb solar radiation energy and heat the water in the upper water tank, the upper water tank is connected to the capillary network through an upper water pipe, and the capillary network is connected to the lower water tank through a lower water pipe.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, after the heat collecting tube absorbs solar radiation energy, the heat of the water in the heat collecting tube will rise rapidly, and increase the temperature of the water in the upper water tank. At this time, the water with higher temperature is transported to the capillary network through the upper water pipe. During the flow of water in the capillary network, the heat of the water will be transferred to the building, thereby achieving the insulation effect of the building in winter. The water flows into the lower water tank through the lower water pipe. At this time, the water can be pumped back to the upper water tank by a water pump, or it can be used for other purposes, effectively improving the insulation effect of the building in winter.

[0007] Optionally, a base is provided on the outer side of the upper water tank, a plurality of receiving grooves are provided on the top of the base, a plurality of the heat collecting tubes are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the base, one end of the heat collecting tube is placed in the receiving groove, and the other end of the heat collecting tube is inserted into the inner side of the upper water tank.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the base ensures that the heat collecting tube can be reliably connected to the upper water tank in a vertical state and better absorb solar radiation energy, thereby more efficiently heating the water in the upper water tank.

[0009] Optionally, a fixed plate is provided on the inner side of the upper water tank and above the heat collecting tube, a stirring rod is inserted in the heat collecting tube, one end of the stirring rod is located at the lower inner side of the heat collecting tube, and the other end of the stirring rod is inserted in the fixed plate, a gear is provided on the top of each stirring rod, several of the gears are provided at the bottom of the fixed plate, and several of the gears are meshed in sequence, and a motor is provided on the top of the upper water tank, and the motor is used to drive any stirring rod to rotate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the motor drives any stirring rod to rotate, the gear on the stirring rod will rotate, and the other gears will also rotate at the same time, thereby driving all the stirring rods to rotate. When the stirring rod rotates in the heat collecting pipe, it can promote the heat transfer of the water in the water collecting pipe, thereby rapidly improving the stability of the water in the upper water tank.

[0011] Optionally, a plurality of bearings are provided on the fixed plate, and a plurality of the stirring rods are respectively and one-to-one inserted into the plurality of the bearings.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the position of the stirring rod can be fixed without affecting the rotation of the stirring rod.

[0013] Optionally, the radial cross-section of the heat collecting tube is elliptical, and a movable block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring rod, and the radial cross-section of the movable block is also elliptical. The movable block is adaptively clamped in the heat collecting tube, and there is a gap between the outer wall of the movable block and the inner wall of the heat collecting tube. The movable block moves back and forth along the axial direction of the stirring rod under the drive of the motor.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the heat collecting tube can limit the movable block, that is, the movable block cannot rotate in the heat collecting tube, and the movable block and the stirring rod are threadedly connected. In this way, after the motor drives the stirring rod to rotate, the movable block will move up and down in the heat collecting tube. Since the movable block is elliptical, the water body can pass through the movable block when the movable block moves up and down, thereby achieving reliable disturbance of the water body and further improving the heat exchange efficiency between the water body in the heat collecting tube and the water body in the upper water tank.

[0015] Optionally, a plurality of disc-shaped heating wires are provided on the inner side of the upper water tank, and the plurality of heating wires are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and two adjacent heating wires are connected by a support rod; a photovoltaic assembly is provided on the top of the upper water tank, and the photovoltaic assembly is used to supply electrical energy to the heating wires and the motor.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, after the photovoltaic module provides electrical energy to a number of heating wires, the heating wires can directly and quickly heat the water in the upper water tank, thereby increasing the upper temperature limit of the water in the upper water tank, thereby improving the thermal insulation effect of the water on the building when it flows in the capillary network.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, after the water outlet pipe transports water to the cavity, the water will overflow from the gap and form a water curtain on the curtain wall body. In this way, the curtain wall body can be cooled in summer, thereby achieving thermal insulation of the building and reducing the workload of refrigeration equipment such as air conditioners.

[0019] Optionally, a plurality of through grooves are further provided on the side of the cross beam facing the curtain wall body, the through grooves are fitted with the outer wall of the curtain wall body, the tops of the through grooves are communicated with the notches, and the bottoms of the through grooves are connected with the bottom of the cross beam.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, after the water enters the cavity, it will first accumulate in the cavity and then overflow through the gap and the through groove. Since the through groove and the curtain wall body fit each other, the water can more easily form a water curtain on the curtain wall body, thereby improving the cooling effect of the curtain wall body.

[0021] Optionally, valves are provided on the lower water pipe and the water outlet pipe, and the valves are used to control the opening and closing of the lower water pipe and the water outlet pipe.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the thermal insulation effect of the curtain wall body can be reliably achieved.

[0025] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects: 1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following is combined with Figure 1-6 This application is described in further detail.

[0030] This embodiment discloses an energy-saving and environmentally friendly building curtain wall.

[0031] See also Figure 1-6 The energy-saving and environmentally friendly building curtain wall is arranged on the outer wall of the building, and includes a mounting bracket 2 and a curtain wall body 3. The mounting bracket 2 is connected to the outer wall of the building by bolts, and the curtain wall body 3 is assembled on the mounting bracket 2. An upper water tank 4 is arranged on the top of the building, and a lower water tank 5 is arranged on the bottom of the building, and the lower water tank 5 can be pre-buried deep in the soil. A capillary network 1 is arranged between the mounting bracket 2 and the outer wall of the building, and the upper water tank 4 is connected to the capillary network 1 through an upper water pipe 41, and the lower water tank 5 is connected to the capillary network through a lower water pipe 51. Water pumps can be arranged in both the upper water tank 4 and the lower water tank 5, so that the water in the upper water tank 4 can be pumped into the capillary network 1 and finally flow to the lower water tank 5, and the water in the lower water tank 5 can also be pumped into the capillary network and finally flow to the upper water tank 4.

[0032] A base 42 is provided on the outside of the upper water tank 4, and a plurality of accommodating grooves 420 are provided on the top of the base 42. The outer diameter of the top of the upper water tank 4 is larger than the outer diameter of the bottom of the upper water tank 4. In this way, a plurality of heat collecting tubes 6 can be placed between the upper water tank 4 and the base 42. One end of the heat collecting tube 6 is placed in the accommodating groove 420. The plurality of heat collecting tubes 6 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the base 42, and the other end of the heat collecting tube 6 is inserted into the inner side of the upper water tank 4. The upper water tank 4 and the heat collecting tube 6 are filled with water. Since the heat collecting tube 6 is arranged toward the sun, the heat collecting tube 6 absorbs solar radiation energy, so that the water temperature in the heat collecting tube 6 rises rapidly. The inner cavity of the upper water tank 4 and the inner cavity of the heat collecting tube 6 are in a state of mutual communication. When the water temperature in the heat collecting tube 6 rises, the water temperature in the upper water tank 4 will also rise accordingly.

[0033] The radial cross section of the heat collecting tube 6 is elliptical, and a movable block 73 is provided in the heat collecting tube 6. The radial cross section of the movable block 73 is also elliptical. A stirring rod 7 is also inserted in the heat collecting tube 6. The stirring rod 7 passes through the movable block 73 and is connected to the movable block 73 by a thread. The movable block 73 is adaptively clamped in the heat collecting tube 6, and there is a gap between the outer wall of the movable block 73 and the inner wall of the heat collecting tube 6. A fixed plate 43 is provided on the inner side of the upper water tank 4 and above the heat collecting tube 6. A plurality of bearings are provided on the fixed plate 43. One end of the stirring rod 7 is located in the heat collecting tube 6, and the other end of the stirring rod 7 is adaptively inserted in the bearing. A gear 71 is provided on the upper part of each stirring rod 7. The plurality of gears 71 are arranged at the bottom of the fixed plate 43, and the plurality of gears 71 are in a state of meshing in sequence. A motor 72 is provided on the top of the upper water tank 4. The motor 72 is used to drive any stirring rod 7 to rotate.

[0034] When the motor 72 drives one stirring rod 7 to rotate, under the transmission effect of several gears 71 meshing in sequence, the other stirring rods 7 will also rotate synchronously, and the stirring rod 7 is connected to the movable block 73 by a thread, and the movable block 73 will be stuck in the heat collecting tube 6, that is, the heat collecting tube 6 can play a role in limiting the rotation of the movable block 73, thereby realizing the reciprocating movement of the movable block 73 along the axial direction of the stirring rod 7. When the movable block 73 reciprocates in the heat collecting tube 6, it can stir the water in the heat collecting tube 6, so that a small amount of water in the upper water tank 4 and the water in the heat collecting tube 6 can be exchanged, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency between the water in the upper water tank 4 and the water in the heat collecting tube 6, and ensuring that the water in the upper water tank 4 can be quickly heated.

[0035] Furthermore, a plurality of disc-shaped heating wires 44 are provided on the inner side of the upper water tank 4, and the plurality of heating wires 44 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and two adjacent heating wires 44 are connected by a support rod 440. The heating wires 44 can directly and quickly heat the water in the upper water tank 4, thereby increasing the upper temperature limit of the water in the upper water tank 4. A photovoltaic module 45 is provided on the top of the upper water tank 4, and the photovoltaic module 45 is used to transmit electric energy to the heating wires 44 and the motor 72. The lower water tank 5 is provided at the bottom of the building and is located deep in the soil, which can cool the water in the lower water tank 5, thereby keeping the water in the lower water tank 5 in a low temperature state.

[0036] In winter, the upper water tank 4 is filled with water, while the lower water tank 5 is empty. At this time, the water in the upper water tank 4 can be heated by the electric heating wire 44 and the heat collecting tube 6, and then the water with higher temperature is transported to the capillary network 1 through the upper water pipe 41. At this time, the heat of the water will be transferred to the building, thereby achieving the warming effect on the building. In summer, the upper water tank 4 is empty, while the lower water tank 5 is filled with water. At this time, the water with lower temperature can be transported to the capillary network through the lower water pipe 51. At this time, the water absorbs the heat of the building, thereby achieving the warming effect on the building. In this way, the heat preservation effect on the building can be reliably achieved by transporting water of different temperatures in the capillary network 1 in different seasons, and no additional energy is needed for heating or cooling the water, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving and environmental protection.

[0037] A crossbeam 8 is provided on the outer side of the top of the curtain wall body 3, and a cavity 81 is provided in the crossbeam 8. A water outlet pipe 52 is also provided on the lower upper water tank 4, and the water outlet pipe 52 is connected with the cavity 81. A notch 82 and a through groove 83 are provided on the side of the crossbeam 8 facing the curtain wall body 3. The notch of the through groove 83 fits the curtain wall body 3, one end of the through groove 83 is connected with the notch 82, and the other end of the through groove 83 is connected with the bottom of the crossbeam 8. In this way, when the water in the lower water tank 5 is transported to the cavity 81 through the water outlet pipe 52, it will overflow outward through the notch 82 and the through groove 83, and reliably form a water curtain on the curtain wall body 3. Since the temperature of the water in the lower water tank 5 is relatively low, the water curtain can form a cooling effect on the curtain wall body 3, thereby significantly improving the thermal insulation effect of the building. Further, in the process of the water curtain flowing on the curtain wall body 3, it can also achieve a cleaning effect on the curtain wall body 3.

[0038] Both the lower water pipe 51 and the water outlet pipe 52 are provided with valves 520, and the valves 520 are used to control the opening and closing of the lower water pipe 51 and the water outlet pipe 52. When the lower water pipe 51 transports water to the lower water tank 5, the valve 520 on the water outlet pipe 52 is in a closed state. When the water outlet pipe 52 transports water to the cross beam 8, the valve 520 on the lower water pipe 51 is in a closed state. In this way, the mutual switching between the warm-keeping state in winter and the cold-keeping state in summer is realized.

[0039] This embodiment also discloses a method for installing an energy-saving and environmentally friendly building curtain wall.

[0040] The installation method of energy-saving and environmentally friendly building curtain wall includes the following steps: S1. Pre-bury a lower water tank 5 at the bottom of the building, install an upper water tank 4 at the top of the building, and lay a capillary network 1 on the outer wall of the building; S2, connecting one end of the upper water pipe 41 to the upper water tank 4, and then connecting the other end of the upper water pipe 41 to the capillary network 1; S3. Install the heat collecting pipe 6 on the outer wall of the upper water tank 4, and fill the heat collecting pipe 6 and the water tank with water. Finished.
