Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building materials technology, and in particular to a high-radiation-resistant cooling window with a graded metamaterial structure coating, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, their demands for living environments are increasing, and intelligent environmental control technology is becoming increasingly integrated into people's daily lives. Indoor light intensity and temperature are two important indicators that determine the comfort level of a building environment. Windows, as channels for direct light and heat exchange between a building and the outside environment, are an effective way to regulate the heat radiation exchange between the interior and the environment. Therefore, windows have always been a key design focus in architectural design and interior decoration. Currently, curtains, blinds, drapes, and venetian blinds are the most common window components. However, traditional window fixtures only control the isolation and connection between the interior and the outside environment through simple opening and closing actions, and do not have the ability to regulate the reception of solar radiation and the emission of their own heat radiation, thus failing to achieve real-time control of indoor temperature.

[0003] Existing technology CN202110780815.6 discloses a cooling product consisting of a full solar spectrum high reflectivity film with micro-nano pores formed by multiple micro-nano fibers intertwined and a substrate material. The full solar spectrum high reflectivity film is then composited onto the cooling base fabric to obtain a full solar spectrum high reflectivity fabric. Existing technology CN202311450217.8 also discloses a method for preparing and applying passive cooling photothermal control fibers and fabrics. This method utilizes the difference between different refractive indices within the fibers to achieve high reflectivity in the solar radiation band through the micro-nano optical structure design of the fibers. Combined with the imaginary part of the refractive index of the fiber material and the introduced nano-medium particles, it achieves high emission in the entire mid-infrared band. This enables the passive cooling photothermal control fibers and fabrics to achieve broad-spectrum selective control in the solar radiation band and the mid-infrared band, ultimately achieving a highly efficient passive cooling effect for the human body in outdoor high-temperature environments. Patent CN 116104253A discloses a heat-insulating color steel tile and its preparation method. It solves the problem of high temperature of heat-insulating color steel plate by stacking multiple anti-corrosion layers, waterproof layers, aerogel layers and radiation cooling layers. However, its structure is diverse, the preparation process is relatively complicated, it requires the use of multiple types of solvents and has a long curing cycle, making it unsuitable for application on the surface of window building materials.

[0004] The method of controlling spectral performance by adding optical particles to a polymer matrix coated on a window surface has performance limitations. Achieving better spectral characteristics requires high-quality material properties, and blindly altering the material composition can easily damage its performance. Therefore, seeking a new method to maximize the performance of cooling materials without changing their composition or properties is of significant invention value. However, previous techniques often only involved processing and combining materials without fine-tuning them, resulting in the inability to achieve optimal optical performance when using similar raw materials.

The high-radiation cooling window with a hierarchical metamaterial structure coating of the present invention integrates the hierarchical metamaterial structure coating onto the outer frame and the surface of the louver blades of the window, thus forming a high-radiation cooling window with a hierarchical metamaterial structure coating. This significantly reduces the absorption of external solar radiation heat by the window and emits its own heat into the environment as strong mid-infrared radiation. The hierarchical metamaterial structure coating includes a base layer, a photofunctional layer, and a hydrophobic protective layer. By hierarchically designing the size and volume fraction of the micro-nano structure, the coating exhibits a regular arrangement in the thickness direction, optimizing the reflection path of different wavelengths of radiation within the coating and achieving excellent spectral modulation performance. The high-radiation cooling window with the hierarchical metamaterial structure coating has extremely strong reflectivity greater than 0.96 in the ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared band (0.25μm-2.5μm) and extremely strong emission characteristics greater than 0.95 in the mid-infrared band (8μm-13μm). Furthermore, the graded metamaterial structure coating exhibits excellent service performance. Tests show that its adhesion is Grade 1; it shows no wrinkles, cracks, or peeling after a 1kg hammer impact from a height of 50cm; the paint film remains undamaged after 5000 washes; there is no red rust on the surface after 200 hours of acetic acid salt spray testing; no abnormalities were observed after 168 hours of immersion in 5% sulfuric acid solution; no abnormalities were observed after 48 hours of immersion in saturated NaOH solution; and no bubbles or cracks were observed after 1000W solar spectrum irradiation (including 60W 300nm-400nm ultraviolet irradiation) and 2000 hours of artificial climate aging. This meets the requirements for long-term use of high-radiation cooling windows in various scenarios.

[0064] 2. The high-radiation-resistant cooling window of this invention, equipped with a graded metamaterial structure coating, exhibits extremely strong reflective properties in the ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared band (0.25-2.5μm) and extremely strong emission properties in the mid-infrared band (8-13μm). Actual testing shows that, compared to ordinary windows, the indoor temperature of a room using the graded metamaterial structure high-radiation-resistant cooling window is reduced by 8.05℃.

[0065] 3. The high-radiation-resistant cooling window with a graded metamaterial structure coating of the present invention has excellent high-radiation resistance and efficient passive cooling characteristics. It can be applied to windows of buildings such as office buildings, factories, residential buildings, guard booths, mobile homes, glass curtain walls, exhibition halls and commercial centers, as well as windows of vehicles such as automobiles, trains, airplanes, ships and yachts, and windows of special equipment such as space capsules, drones, armored vehicles, fighter jets and helicopters.

Additionally, whenever a numerical range is indicated herein, it means including any referenced number (fraction or integer) within the indicated range.

[0075] In the embodiments section, we focus on discussing cooling windows using transparent glass, with louvers as the main window type, and the louver blades being made of aluminum. The manufacturing methods for cooling windows of other colors, transparency, and coatings are similar to those in the embodiments below, and all fall within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0076] This application provides a high-radiation-resistant cooling window with a graded metamaterial structure coating, such as... Figures 2-3 As shown, the high-radiation cooling window includes: a first glass, a second glass, louvers, and two window frames. The first glass and the second glass are spaced apart, and the louvers are located between the first glass and the second glass. The first glass, the second glass, and the louvers are all fixed between the two window frames.

[0077] Alternatively, the high-radiation cooling window includes: a first glass, a second glass, louvers, and two window frames. The first glass and the second glass are spaced apart, and the louvers are located outside the second glass or the first glass. The first glass, the second glass, and the louvers are all fixed between the two window frames.

[0078] The louver blades and the outer frame of the window are coated with a high-radiation-resistant metamaterial coating with a graded metamaterial structure.

[0079] High-radiation resistant metamaterial coatings include: a light-functional layer with a micro-hierarchical micro / nano structure;

[0080] The optical functional layer with a micro-hierarchical micro-nano structure comprises a first polymer and a first high-refractive-index inorganic spectral particle filler.

[0082] For details, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the high-radiation-resistant cooling window structure includes: a first glass pane, a second glass pane, and louvers; all three panes are fixed to the window frame, and are arranged in parallel at intervals. The louver blades and the surface of the window frame are coated with a graded metamaterial structure for high-radiation resistance. The louvers are located between the first and second glass panes. The first and second glass panes can be transparent glass or light green tempered glass.

[0083] Further reference Figure 3 As shown, the high-radiation-resistant cooling window structure includes: a first glass pane, a second glass pane, and louvers; all three panes are fixed to the window frame, and are arranged in parallel at intervals. The louver blades and the surface of the window frame are coated with a graded metamaterial structure for high-radiation resistance. The louvers are located outside the first or second glass pane. The first and second glass panes can be transparent glass or light green tempered glass.

[0084] The present invention relates to a high-radiation-resistant and cooling window with a graded metamaterial structure coating. The window frame and louver blades are made of steel, aluminum alloy, or plastic, and their outer surfaces are coated with a graded metamaterial structure coating. The amount of heat radiation entering the room can be controlled by adjusting the opening angle of the louver blades. The graded metamaterial structure coating uses a polymer as a matrix. According to different functional requirements, micro-nano structures are added to the polymer and coated on the surface of the window frame and louver blades.

[0085] The hierarchical metamaterial structure coating consists of a base layer, a light-functional layer with micro-hierarchical micro / nano structures, and a hydrophobic protective layer.

In the light-functional part, the size and volume fraction of the micro / nano structures are further used as a basis to arrange them hierarchically in the thickness direction of the light-functional layer, optimizing the internal optical path. This enables it to have strong reflective properties in the solar spectrum band of 0.3-2.5μm to control the input of external environmental heat radiation, and strong emission capability in the mid-infrared band of 8-13μm to regulate its own heat radiation output.

[0086] The high-radiation cooling window of the present invention, which has a graded metamaterial structure coating, has extremely high solar radiation reflection capability and mid-infrared emission capability.

This structure differs from a structure that is randomly distributed after simply mixing the matrix and filler; the micro / nano structure has a clear regular spatial distribution. The hierarchically adjusted micro / nano structure enables window cooling components to obtain superior spectral performance to achieve the core functions of resisting high radiation and regulating indoor ambient temperature.

[0141] For details, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, a hierarchical metamaterial structure coating was prepared on the surface of a louver blade. Specifically, a base layer, a light-functional layer, and a hydrophobic protective layer were sequentially prepared on the surface of the louver blade. Furthermore, from... Figure 1 The magnified view of the mid-light functional layer shows that, inside the light functional layer, in its thickness direction, the size of the first high-refractive-index inorganic spectral particle filler is distributed in a pattern of decreasing size or increasing size; in its thickness direction, the volume fraction of the first high-refractive-index inorganic spectral particle filler is distributed in a pattern of decreasing size or increasing size (i.e., from sparse to dense or from dense to sparse).

[0301] The reflectivity and emissivity of the graded metamaterial structure coatings assembled in Examples 4-20 and Comparative Examples 1-6 after the cooling window are shown in Table 1 below.

[0302] Table 1 - Reflectivity and emissivity of the cooling window assembled from hierarchical metamaterial structure coatings in different embodiments

[0303]

[0304]

[0305]

[0306] The table above shows the transparent window interlayer and the light green tempered glass window interlayer, indicating that... Figure 2 As shown, the blinds are located between the first and second panes of glass; the outer side of the transparent glass window and the outer side of the light green tempered glass window indicate... Figure 3 As shown, the blinds are located on the side of the second glass.

[0307] A comparison of Examples 4-6 with Comparative Examples 3-5 shows that Examples 4, 5, and 6, with their internal particles graded and adjusted, exhibit significantly higher reflectivity than Comparative Examples 3, 4, and 5, which are ungraded or have minimal grading. This demonstrates that the graded coating possesses stronger solar radiation reflection capability, i.e., greater potential for regulating indoor temperature. Furthermore, comparing Examples 4 with Examples 5 and 6 reveals that, in addition to graded control of particle size, adjusting the mass fraction of particles at different thickness positions can further enhance the coating's reflectivity.

[0308] As can be seen from Examples 7-18 and Comparative Examples 6 and 7, adding appropriate inorganic scattering particles to the bottom layer and the top hydrophobic protective layer can further improve the overall reflection efficiency, with the highest reflectivity reaching over 96%. Examples 17 and Comparative Example 8 show that regardless of whether the blinds are installed within the glass interlayer or on the outside of the window, they can achieve high solar reflectance and mid-infrared emission characteristics, meaning their function of regulating indoor temperature remains intact. Examples 19 and Comparative Example 9 show that when the glass is colored, its reflectance characteristics are basically unaffected, indicating the wide applicability of this blind in various scenarios.

[0309] Two guard booths, each 2m high and 1m wide and long, were used as experimental subjects to verify the effectiveness of the louvers. Both booths had only one south-facing window measuring 1m × 0.8m. One booth used ordinary aluminum louvers as described in Comparative Example 2, without a tiered structure. The other booth used louvers with a tiered metamaterial structure coating as described in Example 20 of this invention. Both louvers were fully closed. The room temperature inside the booths with the two types of louvers was recorded during the period of strongest sunlight, from 11:00 am to 2:30 pm. The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The ambient temperature refers to the temperature outside the guard post. Figure 5 As can be seen, compared with the indoor temperature of the guard booth using ordinary louvers, the indoor temperature of the guard booth using louvers with graded structure coating is reduced by about 8.05℃, indicating that the graded structure coating has a more obvious cooling effect.

[0310] Figure 6 The cross-sectional SEM image of the hierarchical metamaterial structure coating observed using Example 17 as a sample, as well as the Ti element distribution along the interface direction, shows that the Ti element content exhibits obvious hierarchical characteristics in the coating thickness, proving that the hierarchical metamaterial structure mentioned in this invention can be stably prepared and applied.

[0311] Furthermore, performance tests were conducted on the graded metamaterial structure coating in Example 17, and the results are as follows: According to GB / T9286-2021, the cross-cut adhesion test showed an adhesion grade of 1; according to HGT 4341-2012, the impact resistance test showed no wrinkles, cracks, or peeling after an impact from a 1kg hammer at a height of 50cm; according to GB / T 9755-2014, the wash resistance test showed no damage to the paint film after 5000 washes; according to GB / T 10125-2021, the acid salt spray test showed no red rust on the surface after 200 hours of acetic acid salt spray; according to HG / T 4341-2012, the acid resistance test showed no abnormalities after 168 hours of immersion in 5% sulfuric acid solution; according to GB / T... Based on GB / T 9755-2014, alkali resistance testing was conducted, and no abnormalities were observed after 48 hours of immersion in a saturated NaOH solution. Artificial climate aging was performed according to GB / T 9755-2014, with 1000W solar spectrum irradiation (including 60W 300-400nm ultraviolet irradiation), and no bubbles or cracks were observed after 2000 hours of artificial climate aging. This meets the requirements for long-term window use.

8. A method for preparing a high-radiation-resistant cooling window with a hierarchical metamaterial structure coating as described in any one of claims 1 to 7, comprising the following steps: By installing the first glass, the second glass, and the louvers between the outer frame of the window, a cooling window with a high-radiation-resistant coating and a graded metamaterial structure is obtained. The louvers or window frames are all integrated with at least one graded metamaterial structure coating. The method for preparing the hierarchical metamaterial structure coating includes the following steps: The second high-refractive-index inorganic spectral particle filler, anti-corrosion filler, and diluent are added to the second polymer and stirred to obtain the bottom mixture. Apply the base coat mixture to the surface of the window frame or louver slats to form the base coat; First high-refractive-index inorganic spectral particle fillers and diluents with different physical properties are added to first polymer and stirred to obtain multiple spectral functional mixtures. Multiple spectral functional mixtures are sequentially coated onto the surface of the base layer to form a light functional layer with a micro-nano structure. The third high refractive index inorganic spectral particle filler, hydrophobic filler, and diluent are added to the third high molecular polymer and stirred to obtain the hydrophobic protective layer mixture. A mixture of hydrophobic protective layer materials is coated onto the surface of an optical functional layer with a micro-hierarchical micro-nano structure to form a hydrophobic protective layer.
