Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent windows, and particularly relates to a composite hydrogel and a high-low temperature dual-control energy-saving intelligent window. Background Art
[0002] Global warming and energy consumption are gradually increasing. Among them, about 40% of energy consumption comes from the insulation, refrigeration, etc. of buildings. Therefore, improving the energy efficiency of buildings has become a key means to improve global warming. The heat insulation performance of traditional windows is poor, resulting in a large amount of energy loss. In recent years, as an energy-saving technology that can dynamically adjust the light transmittance according to environmental stimuli, intelligent windows have received extensive attention.
[0003] The research direction of existing intelligent windows mostly focuses on single-performance thermochromic hydrogels, and most of them undergo a transparent-opaque transition under heat stimulation, thereby reducing the light transmittance. That is, they reflect light sources and heat sources from entering the room, isolate the heat transferred from the outside to the inside, and thus save the energy for indoor cooling to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction. However, currently, there are few that can undergo a transparent-opaque transition under both overheating and overcooling stimuli. When the environmental temperature is relatively low, a large amount of heat will be transferred from the indoor to the outdoor, which will increase the energy for indoor heating and cannot achieve energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0027] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0028] (1) The composite hydrogel of the present invention includes a high-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer and a low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer that are attached to each other. The high-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer has the function of changing color at a high-temperature threshold, and the low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer has the function of changing color at a low-temperature threshold. Specifically, when the ambient temperature is higher than the high-temperature threshold, the high-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer is in an opaque state; when the ambient temperature is lower than the low-temperature threshold, the low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer is in an opaque state; when the ambient temperature is between the low-temperature threshold and the high-temperature threshold, both the high-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer and the low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer are in a transparent state.

[0029] (2) The intelligent window manufactured based on the composite hydrogel of the present invention has the function of dual regulation of high and low temperatures, that is, the transparency can be changed when the temperature is too high or too low. When the accumulated external heat on the intelligent window causes the temperature of the glass to be higher than the high-temperature threshold, the intelligent window changes from transparent to opaque, thereby reducing the light transmittance, reflecting the light source and heat source into the room, isolating the heat transferred from the outside to the inside, and thus saving the energy for indoor cooling and achieving energy conservation and emission reduction. When the external environmental temperature is low, causing the temperature of the glass to be lower than the low-temperature threshold, the intelligent window changes from transparent to opaque, reducing the heat transfer from the room to the outside. At the same time, the indoor heat can also be reflected back into the room, reducing the heat loss, thereby reducing the energy for indoor heating and achieving the purpose of energy conservation and emission reduction.

Detailed implementation manners
[0040] The principles and features of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0041] Example 1:
[0042] This example provides a high-temperature phase-change hydrogel layer, which is polymerized from N-isopropylacrylamide, persulfamide (initiator), polyether pluronic diacrylate (polymer cross-linking agent), acrylic acid, tetramethylethylenediamine (catalyst) and deionized water under a low-temperature environment. The volume mass ratio of N-isopropylacrylamide, persulfamide, polyether pluronic diacrylate, acrylic acid, tetramethylethylenediamine and deionized water is: 400 mg : (10 - 80) mg : (10 - 100) mg : (0 - 3600) mg : (3 - 20) μL : (1 - 10) ml.
[0043] The preparation process of the high-temperature phase-change hydrogel layer is as follows:
[0044] S11: Place N-isopropylacrylamide, persulfamide, polyether pluronic diacrylate and acrylic acid in deionized water, and ultrasonically vibrate until completely dissolved;
[0045] S12: Place the solution in an ice-water bath not higher than 4°C to cool down;
[0046] S13: Add tetramethylethylenediamine to the solution at a temperature not higher than 4°C, mix and polymerize at room temperature to obtain the high-temperature phase-change hydrogel layer. The polymerization temperature is 0°C - 25°C, the polymerization time is not less than 1 h, and the transition temperature (i.e., the high-temperature threshold) of the high-temperature phase-change hydrogel layer is shown in Table 1.
[0047] Table 1 Transition temperatures of the high-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer under different ratios
[0048]
[0049] It can be seen that the transition temperature of the high-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer is mainly related to the weight ratio of N-isopropylacrylamide and acrylic acid. Therefore, the transition temperature of the high-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer can be changed by adjusting the weight ratio of N-isopropylacrylamide and acrylic acid. The adjustment range of the transition temperature is 30°C - 52°C, so as to adapt to different temperature conditions.
[0050] Example 2:
[0051] This example provides a low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer, which is polymerized from N-(2-amino-2-oxoethyl)acrylamide, acrylic acid, 2-hydroxy-4'-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone and deionized water under ultraviolet light irradiation. The volume-mass ratio of N-(2-amino-2-oxoethyl)acrylamide, acrylic acid, 2-hydroxy-4'-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone (photoinitiator) and deionized water is: 500 mg : (0 - 2000) mg : (3 - 30) mg : (1 - 10) ml.
[0052] The preparation process of the low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer is as follows:
[0053] S21: Place N-(2-amino-2-oxoethyl)acrylamide, acrylic acid, 2-hydroxy-4'-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone in deionized water, and ultrasonically vibrate until completely dissolved;
[0054] S22: Polymerize the solution under ultraviolet light irradiation to obtain a low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer. The light intensity is not less than 15 mw / cm 2 , and the polymerization time is 10 min - 60 min. The transition temperature (i.e., the low-temperature threshold) of the low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer is shown in Table 2.
[0055] Table 2 Transition temperatures of the low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer under different ratios
[0056]
[0057] It can be seen that the transition temperature of the low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer is mainly related to the weight ratio of N-(2-amino-2-oxoethyl)acrylamide and acrylic acid. The transition temperature of the low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer can be changed by adjusting the weight ratio of N-(2-amino-2-oxoethyl)acrylamide and acrylic acid. The adjustment range of the transition temperature is 0°C - 17°C, so as to adapt to different temperature conditions.
[0058] Example 3:
[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a composite hydrogel 10, which includes the high-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer 11 of Embodiment 1 and the low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer 12 of Embodiment 2. The high-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer 11 and the low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer 12 are naturally attached together. Due to the viscosity of the high-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer 11 and the low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer 12, after being attached for a period of time, the high-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer 11 and the low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer 12 are bonded together to form a composite hydrogel.
[0060] The composite hydrogel 10 of this embodiment has the function of color change at two different temperatures. Specifically, when the temperature is higher than the high-temperature threshold (the transition temperature of the high-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer 11), the high-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer 11 is in an opaque state. When the temperature is lower than the high-temperature threshold, the high-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer 11 is in a transparent state. When the temperature is lower than the low-temperature threshold (the transition temperature of the low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer 12), the low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer 12 is in an opaque state. When the temperature is higher than the low-temperature threshold, the low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer 12 is in a transparent state. Therefore, the composite hydrogel layer of this embodiment can reduce the light transmittance under specific temperature conditions, reduce the heat transfer, and achieve the purpose of energy conservation and emission reduction.
[0061] Embodiment 4:
[0062] Please refer to Figure 2 , this embodiment provides a high-low temperature dual-control energy-saving intelligent window, including: an upper glass 21, a lower glass 22, an annular gasket 23, and the composite hydrogel 10 of Embodiment 3. The upper glass 21 and the lower glass 22 are arranged opposite to each other. The annular gasket 23 is located between the upper glass 21 and the lower glass 22 and close to the edges of the upper glass 21 and the lower glass 22. The connection manner between the annular gasket 23 and the upper glass 21 and the lower glass 22 is preferably bonding. The composite hydrogel 10 is located between the upper glass 21 and the lower glass 22 and the composite hydrogel 10 is located inside the annular gasket 23. At the same time, the composite hydrogel 10 fills the space formed by the annular gasket 23, the upper glass 21, and the lower glass 22. In this embodiment, the material of the annular gasket 23 is silicone rubber.
[0063] The intelligent window manufactured based on the composite hydrogel of the present invention has the function of dual regulation of high and low temperatures, that is, the transparency can be changed when the temperature is too high or too low. When the accumulated external heat on the intelligent window causes the temperature of the glass to be higher than the high temperature threshold, the intelligent window changes from transparent to opaque, thereby reducing the light transmittance, reflecting the light source and heat source into the room, isolating the heat transferred from the outside to the inside, and then saving the energy for indoor cooling and achieving energy conservation and emission reduction. When the external environmental temperature is low, causing the temperature of the glass to be lower than the low temperature threshold, the intelligent window changes from transparent to opaque, reducing the transfer of indoor heat to the outside. At the same time, the indoor heat can also be reflected back into the room, reducing the heat loss, thereby reducing the energy for indoor heating and achieving the purpose of energy conservation and emission reduction.

The lower glass 22 and the second intermediate glass 26 are fixed by means of heavy pressure or winding an elastic band, etc.
[0069] S4: Prepare a low-temperature phase transition hydrogel layer inside the second intermediate spacer 27; specifically, inject a solution of N-(2-amino-2-oxoethyl)acrylamide, acrylic acid, 2-hydroxy-4'-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone, and deionized water into the inner space of the second intermediate spacer 27 by injection, and the solution polymerizes inside the second intermediate spacer 27. In this embodiment, the dosages of N-(2-amino-2-oxoethyl)acrylamide, acrylic acid, 2-hydroxy-4'-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone, and deionized water are: 500 mg: 750 mg: 3.7 mg and 3.75 ml respectively, and the light intensity is 15 mw / cm 2 , and the polymerization time is 20 min.
[0070] S5: Take out the first intermediate glass 24, the first intermediate spacer 25, the second intermediate glass 26, and the second intermediate spacer 27, and then bond an annular spacer 23 between the upper glass 21 and the lower glass 22, so that the high-temperature phase transition hydrogel layer 11 and the low-temperature phase transition hydrogel layer 12 are located between the annular spacers 23, and the high-temperature phase transition hydrogel layer 11 is in contact with the low-temperature phase transition hydrogel layer 12.
[0071] S6: Fix the upper glass 21 and the lower glass 22 by means of heavy pressure or winding an elastic band, etc., so that the contact time of the high-temperature phase transition hydrogel layer 11 and the low-temperature phase transition hydrogel layer 12 is not less than 1 h to obtain a high-low temperature dual-control energy-saving intelligent window.
[0072] In this embodiment, the exhaust structure, assembly method, sealing method, fixing method, etc. that appear in the preparation of the high-low temperature dual-control energy-saving intelligent window all belong to the prior art and will not be elaborated here.
[0073] Example 6:
[0074] Please refer to Figures 5 to 9 , this embodiment provides an energy-saving measurement method for the high-low temperature dual-control energy-saving intelligent window of Embodiment 5, which includes the following steps:
[0075] (1) Install the high-low temperature dual-control energy-saving intelligent window 302 in the sliding groove 303 at the opening of the energy-saving measurement device 300 and seal it. The sealing method can be a sealing method using a sealing strip, etc. A reference pattern 301 is provided on the inner bottom side of the energy-saving measurement device 300, and a temperature sensor is provided inside the energy-saving measurement device 300;
[0076] (2) Apply an external heat source outside the high-low temperature dual-control energy-saving intelligent window 302, and read and record the real-time data by the temperature sensor. Then, turn off the external heat source for natural cooling, and read and record the real-time data by the temperature sensor; as Figure 6As shown, during this process, as the temperature rises, the reference pattern 301 changes from visible to invisible, and as the temperature drops, the reference pattern 301 changes from invisible to visible;
[0077] (3) Apply an external cold source to the outside of the high and low temperature dual - controlled energy - saving intelligent window 302, and let the temperature sensor read and record the real - time data. Then turn off the external cold source for natural heating, and let the temperature sensor read and record the real - time data. As Figure 7 shown, during this process, as the temperature drops, the reference pattern 301 changes from visible to invisible, and as the temperature rises, the reference pattern 301 changes from invisible to visible.
[0078] From Figure 8 it can be seen that the temperature rise of the high and low temperature dual - controlled energy - saving intelligent window 302 is lower than that of the ordinary window after heating for 6 minutes, which is 14°C. From Figure 9 it can be seen that the temperature drop of the high and low temperature dual - controlled energy - saving intelligent window 302 is lower than that of the ordinary window after cooling for 6 minutes, which is 1°C. Thus, it can be seen that the high and low temperature dual - controlled energy - saving intelligent window 302 of this embodiment will change from a transparent state to an opaque state after heating and cooling, thereby reducing heat transfer and saving the energy for refrigeration or heating, thus achieving the purpose of energy conservation and emission reduction.

S5: Take out the first intermediate glass, the first intermediate spacer, the second intermediate glass and the second intermediate spacer, and then bond the annular spacer between the upper glass and the lower glass, so that the high-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer and the low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer are located between the annular spacers, and the high-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer is in contact with the low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer. S6: Fix the upper glass and the lower glass, and keep the high-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer and the low-temperature phase-transition hydrogel layer in contact for no less than 1 h to obtain a high-low temperature dual-controlled energy-saving intelligent window.
