[0002] A Trumbo wall, also known as a solar-powered glass curtain wall, is a technology that uses solar radiation to heat the air between the dark facade of a building and the glass curtain wall, and then transfers the heat to the interior through air convection formed by ventilation openings between the dark facade and the interior.

[0003] However, the existing Transbryne wall still has the following problems in its application:

[0004] 1. Because air convection can stir up dust on the ground and furniture, it can reduce indoor air quality, especially in dry seasons when there are more suspended particles in the air. The air convection of the Transbrew wall may exacerbate the indoor dust problem. At the same time, since the Transbrew wall is mainly used for heating in winter, it can easily cause the indoor air to become dry. Dry, dusty air can cause discomfort to people.

[0005] 2. In the hot summer, when the indoor humidity is too high, it will cause furniture and walls to become damp and moldy, which can easily cause discomfort or even illness. Summary of the Invention

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. 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.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 The embodiments of the present invention include:

[0028] A humidity-controlled and heat-collecting solar glass curtain wall, the structure of which includes: wall 1, glass panel 2, crossbar 3, airflow guide grille assembly 4, dust reduction and humidity control module, and dehumidification mechanism.

[0029] The glass panel 2 is suspended on the outside of the wall 1 by the crossbar 3, so that the wall 1, the glass panel 2 and the crossbar 3 enclose the enclosed work space 5. The wall 1 is provided with a first ventilation opening 11 and a second ventilation opening 12 that pass through it. The first ventilation opening 11 and the second ventilation opening 12 connect the work space 5 and the indoor space and are located at different heights, thereby forming air convection.

[0030] Furthermore, the wall is a dark-colored wall, where dark-colored refers to a color with a visual reflectance of less than 30%, preferably dark gray or black, to achieve better light and heat absorption.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, a workspace 5 is provided between the wall 1 and the glass panel 2.

[0032] In some other embodiments of this application, multiple workspaces 5 can be formed between the wall 1 and the glass panel 2 by means of crossbars 3.

[0033] Furthermore, the first vent 11 is located at the top of the wall 1, and the second vent 12 is located at the bottom of the wall 1.

[0034] The flow guide grille assembly 4 is disposed in the working space 5 between the wall 1 and the glass plate 2. The flow guide grille assembly 4 includes a plurality of herringbone flow guide grilles 41 arranged side by side along its own width direction to form a flow guide structure that allows air to pass from bottom to top between adjacent herringbone flow guide grilles 41 and prevents water from passing from top to bottom between adjacent herringbone flow guide grilles 41.

[0035] Further, refer to Figure 1 The airflow guide grille assembly 4 is positioned between the first vent 11 and the second vent 12, and is close to the first vent 11 located at a higher position. This design shortens the movement path of the water mist sprayed by the dust suppression and humidity control module, reduces the water mist that diffuses onto the surface of the wall 1, and reduces the possibility of mold growth on the wall 1.

[0036] Furthermore, gaps are provided between adjacent herringbone deflector grilles 41 to allow air to pass through, thereby allowing air to pass through from bottom to top, and the projections of adjacent herringbone deflector grilles 41 in the direction of gravity overlap each other, thereby preventing water from passing through from top to bottom.

[0037] Further, refer to Figure 1 Each herringbone-shaped guide grille 41 extends outward at its bottom edge to form a concave, irregularly shaped water trough 410 capable of holding water.

[0038] Further, refer to Figure 3 The herringbone guide grille 41 is inclined along its length at an angle of 2° to 4°. A drainage channel 42 is provided on the outer side or below the lowest end of the herringbone guide grille 41, so that the water mist sprayed onto the herringbone guide grille 41 by the dust reduction and humidity control module during the day and the water vapor condensed on the surface of the herringbone guide grille 41 at night can be gathered into a water flow on the surface of the herringbone guide grille 41 and then flow along the herringbone grille 4 to the drainage channel 42.

[0039] Further reference Figure 2 To prevent water vapor from condensing on the bottom wall of the herringbone guide grille 41 at night, causing condensate to drip into the crossbar 3, the wall, or the workspace 5, resulting in mold growth on the wall and corrosion of the crossbar, each herringbone guide grille 41 is covered with an anti-condensation layer 414, which can be made of EVA foam.

[0040] Further reference Figure 2 Each herringbone guide grille 41 includes a first plate 411, a second plate 412, and a third plate 413 connected in sequence. The first plate 411, the second plate 412, and the third plate 413 are all inclined along the width direction of the herringbone guide grille 41, and the inclination direction changes sequentially according to the order of the first plate 411, the second plate 412, and the third plate 413. The first plate 411 is connected to the middle of one side of the second plate 412, and the connection part of the first plate 411 and the second plate 412 forms a downward concave surface. The third plate 413 is connected to the bottom of the other side of the second plate 412, and the connection part of the second plate 412 and the third plate 413 forms an upward concave surface.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, the projection of the first plate 411 of a herringbone guide grille 41 onto the second plate 412 or the third plate 413 of an adjacent herringbone guide grille 41 in the direction of gravity overlaps.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the second plate 412 is used to block water mist from passing through the herringbone guide grille 41. The second plate 412 and the third plate 413 are used to form an irregularly shaped water channel 410 to guide the flow of water. The first plate 411 is used to prevent the water flow from moving along the bottom wall of the second plate 412 through the wall adhesion effect. The water mist on the first plate 411 gathers and flows to the second plate 412 of the adjacent herringbone guide grille 41, and finally flows out through the irregularly shaped water channel 410.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, the first plate 411 and the second plate 412 can be an integral structure or can be connected by a connecting (heat insulation) member 62; the second plate 412 and the third plate 413 can be an integral structure.

[0044] When the dust reduction and humidity control module is installed inside the Transporal wall and in the room, it reduces dust, humidifies or dehumidifies the air, thereby solving the problems of dusty, dry or humid indoor air.

[0045] The dust reduction and humidity control module includes an atomizing nozzle 51 disposed above the herringbone guide grille 41. The atomizing nozzle 51 is used to spray water mist onto the top surface of the guide grille assembly 4. The density of the atomizing nozzle 51 is configured to remove dust carried in the air passing through the guide grille assembly 4.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 When applied to low-rise buildings, the drainage ditch 42 is connected to the water tank 53 through the drainage pipe 52, so that the wastewater can be recycled. A filter 54 is installed between the drainage pipe 52 and the water tank 53. The filter 54 can filter the dust in the wastewater, so that the wastewater can be reused. The water tank 53 is connected to the atomizing nozzle 51 through the water supply pipe 56 and the water pump 55, so that the wastewater discharged into the water tank 53 for recycling and reuse is filtered and sprayed out again through the atomizing nozzle 51, thus forming a cycle of water tank 53, water pump 55, atomizing nozzle 51, flow guide grid assembly 4, drainage ditch 42, drainage pipe 52 and water tank 53.

[0047] The water tank 53 is also connected to an external water source, which replenishes the water tank 53 to compensate for moisture that diffuses and evaporates into the air. In actual use, either recycled water or an external water source can be used for spraying.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 5When applied to high-rise buildings, the drainage ditch 42 is connected to the water tank 53 via the drainage pipe 52, and the water tank 53 is connected to the water source. A filter 54 is installed between the drainage pipe 52 and the water tank 53. The water tank 53 is connected to the atomizing nozzle 51 on the next floor via the water supply pipe 56. This design can eliminate the need for a water pump 55. The water source for the water tank 53 on each floor can be replenished by the wastewater from the previous floor. By utilizing the height difference between the water tank 53, the atomizing nozzle 51, and the drainage ditch 42, water pressurization and recycling can be achieved. Alternatively, an external water source can be added.

[0049] Furthermore, the controller is connected to a hygrometer installed indoors and a water level gauge in the water tank 53, respectively. It can determine whether to turn on the atomizing nozzle 51 to humidify based on the real-time humidity of the room, and it can also determine whether to turn on the water supply based on the water volume in the water tank 53.

[0050] Furthermore, each of the first vent 11 and the second vent 12 is equipped with a valve for opening and closing the vent, and the controller is electrically connected to the valve to open or close the indoor and outdoor air convection.

[0051] The working principle of the dust reduction and humidity control module includes:

[0052] During a sunny day, when the workspace 5 between wall 1 and glass panel 2 is exposed to sunlight, the temperature of the outdoor air rises, the hot air rises and enters the indoor space through the first vent 11, while the cool air in the indoor space falls and enters the workspace 5 through the second vent 12, causing the indoor air temperature to gradually rise.

[0053] The atomizing nozzle 51 sprays water mist onto the herringbone guide grille 41. When dust in the air passes through the herringbone guide grille 41, the water mist is adsorbed and falls onto the herringbone guide grille 41, thereby reducing the dust in the indoor air. At the same time, some of the water mist enters the room with the hot air, thereby increasing the humidity of the indoor air.

[0054] On nights when there is no sunlight, the outdoor air temperature drops, and the hot indoor air enters the work space 5 through the first vent 11, while the cold outdoor air enters the indoor space through the second vent 12, thus forming reverse air convection. This causes the indoor air temperature to gradually decrease, and when the air temperature is below the dew point, it condenses on the surface of the herringbone air guide grille 41, thereby reducing the humidity of the indoor air.

[0055] The above design is suitable for commercial office buildings that are open during the day and deserted at night. It can reduce dust in the indoor air, heat and humidify during the day, and cool and dehumidify at night by using the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures. This allows people to work in a warm and humid office during the day, while the office can automatically dehumidify at night to reduce the growth of bacteria and fungi.

[0056] The dehumidification mechanism includes an evaporator connected to a herringbone baffle 41. The evaporator includes an evaporator tube 61 extending along the length of the herringbone baffle 41 and connected to a first plate 411. The evaporator tube contains refrigerant. The evaporator tube 61 is connected to a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion valve located outside the curtain wall to form a heat pump assembly. The first plate 411 serves as the fins of the evaporator tube 61, resulting in more water droplets condensing on the evaporator tube 61 and the first plate 411. Meanwhile, the second plate 412 and the third plate 413 of the herringbone baffle 41 have higher temperatures, and their surfaces do not condense water droplets or condense less.

[0057] When in use, the refrigerant used by the heat pump circulates between the compressor, condenser, expansion valve and evaporator. When the refrigerant passes through the evaporator, it absorbs the heat from the surroundings, causing the temperature of the herringbone guide grille 41 to drop below the dew point. At this time, water vapor condenses into water droplets after contacting the herringbone guide grille 41 or the first plate 411, and then flows along the herringbone guide grille 41 to the drain ditch 42.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, each first plate 411 is provided with an evaporator tube 61, and the evaporator tubes 61 on each first plate are independent of each other. Each evaporator tube 61 is connected to a compressor unit or shares a compressor unit.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, all first plates 411 share a single evaporator tube 61. The evaporator tube has an S-shaped structure, and its two ends extend out of the working space 5 and are connected to the compressor unit.

[0060] The beneficial effects of the humidity-controlled and heat-collecting solar glass curtain wall of this invention are as follows: by setting a special herringbone guide grille and a dust-reducing and humidity-controlled module and a dehumidification mechanism, it can not only reduce dust and humidify by spraying water mist through atomizing nozzles, but also dehumidify by condensing water vapor from the evaporator. This allows for accurate and effective regulation of the indoor environment, improving and maintaining a good indoor environment, enhancing the comfort of living, saving energy and reducing emissions, and being convenient to use.

[0061] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
