[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a dimmable photovoltaic power generation green building glass. The dimmable photovoltaic power generation green building glass mainly includes, from outside to inside, an outdoor outer photovoltaic glass 1, a power generation substrate glass 3, an outdoor inner tempered glass 5, a dye liquid crystal functional layer 10, and an indoor tempered coated glass 13; wherein, the outdoor outer photovoltaic glass 1, the power generation substrate glass 3, the outdoor inner tempered glass 5 and the dye liquid crystal functional layer 10 are all bonded by PVB film; the outdoor inner tempered glass 5 and the indoor tempered coated glass 13 are separated by molecular sieves.

[0028] The dimmable photovoltaic green architectural glass is provided with a dye liquid crystal functional layer 10 in the hollow glass gas layer 11 to realize intelligent adjustment of light transmittance, and achieve the effects of anti-glare, sunshade, and green energy saving. The working principle of the dye liquid crystal dimming functional layer 10: when the power is off, the negative liquid crystal molecules are arranged perpendicular to the glass substrate, and the dichroic dye is vertical accordingly, allowing light to pass through, and the glass is transparent, thereby allowing natural light to enter the room, reducing dependence on artificial lighting, and saving energy. When the power is on, the liquid crystal molecules are deflected parallel to the glass substrate by the electric field force, and the absorption directions of the dye liquid crystal are orthogonal to each other. According to Malus's law, the incident light is absorbed, and the glass is dark, achieving a sunshade effect and preventing glare, and improving indoor comfort.

[0029] In addition, compared with the physical sunshade device with blinds in the hollow glass of traditional aluminum alloy doors and windows, the use of the dye liquid crystal functional layer 10 not only has a fast response speed for indoor light and dark switching, but also makes the switching more convenient and free; at the same time, it greatly reduces the overall thickness of the glass. Under the conditions of the same door and window series, the structural thickness of the glass pressure line can be greatly increased, the rigidity of the glass pressure line can be improved, and quality accidents of glass collapse caused by the instability of the glass pressure line under strong wind pressure can be avoided.

[0030] It should be noted that the thickness of the outdoor outer photovoltaic glass 1, the outdoor inner tempered glass 5 and the indoor tempered coated glass 13 should be determined based on the calculation of their strength and deflection, and meet the maximum allowable area requirements of safety glass in Article 7.1.1 of the national industry standard "Technical Code for Application of Architectural Glass" JGJ113-2015.

[0031] Continue to refer Figure 1-3, the outdoor outer photovoltaic glass 1 and the power generation substrate glass 3 are bonded and fixed by the first PVB film 2; the power generation substrate glass 3 and the outdoor inner tempered glass 5 are bonded and fixed by the second PVB film 4; the outdoor inner tempered glass 5 and the dye liquid crystal functional layer 10 are bonded and fixed by the third PVB film 9; the large amount of PVB (polyvinyl butyral) film used in this embodiment is mainly considered that the laminated glass using PVB film is a kind of safety glass material with excellent performance. Even if any of the tempered glass explodes or is hit by a strong external force and breaks, due to the effect of the internal PVB film, a large amount of impact energy can be absorbed and rapidly attenuated, so the laminated glass is difficult to be penetrated and maintains good integrity. When a building using laminated glass is subjected to explosions, wind disasters, earthquakes, etc., even if the glass is broken, it can still be kept in the door and window and glass curtain wall frame to protect people inside and outside the building from the harm of glass fragments.

[0032] Continue to refer Figure 1-3 The coating surface 12 is arranged on the indoor tempered coated glass 13 to better meet the indoor thermal insulation and energy saving effects.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the outdoor photovoltaic glass 1 and the power generation substrate glass 3 convert solar energy into direct current, which is then transmitted to the battery of the energy storage and control unit. The energy storage and control unit consists of a charger, a battery, a controller, and a transformer. The charger plays a rectifying role, converting the AC power of the power grid into direct current to charge the battery; the battery is used to store the electric energy generated by the photovoltaic glass, and can be charged by the power grid when the solar radiation is insufficient; the controller includes automatic control and on-site manual control (buttons, touch screen), and the automatic control includes sensor control (automatic response to light sensing), mobile phone remote control, and time control; the transformer adjusts the output voltage of the battery to match the input voltage of the dye liquid crystal functional layer 10.

[0034] The advantages of the above embodiment are as follows:

[0035] 1. Photovoltaic power generation glass is integrated with the dye liquid crystal dimming functional layer. Photovoltaic glass can provide clean, renewable green energy for buildings, and can also provide power for the dye liquid crystal dimming functional layer.

[0036] 2. The traditional aluminum alloy door and window sunshade is physical sunshade, which is generally achieved by setting a central louver in the gas layer of the insulating glass of the door and window. This method will cause the gas layer of the insulating glass to be thicker, thus making the overall thickness of the glass thicker, causing problems such as small size and weak rigidity of the glass pressure line structure. Under the action of strong wind pressure, it is easy to cause the glass pressure line to become unstable and then collapse, which is a safety hazard; the central louver is also prone to damage during long-term use, and once damaged, it is difficult to repair it except replacing the glass. The sunshade method using the dye liquid crystal dimming functional layer avoids the above problems.

[0037] 3. Compared with traditional physical shading devices, the light-dark switching response speed of the dye liquid crystal dimming functional layer is fast, and the switching is more convenient and free.

[0038] 4. Compared with traditional Low-E and other coated glass, the addition of a dye liquid crystal dimming functional layer can achieve intelligent adjustment of light transmittance, achieving anti-glare, sun shading, and green energy-saving effects.

[0039] 5. Compared with traditional insulating glass, three-glass two-cavity insulating glass, single-sided laminated insulating glass and other methods of aluminum alloy doors and windows and glass curtain walls, the sound insulation performance of multi-laminated insulating glass is relatively better.

[0040] 6. The use of ultra-white tempered glass can greatly reduce its self-explosion rate.

[0041] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
