Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power generation window technology, specifically a new energy self-generating window. Background Technology
[0002] The technical field of this invention relates to a field where, with the increasing severity of global energy problems and the continuous improvement of environmental awareness, green, energy-saving, and intelligent building technologies have become an inevitable trend in the construction industry. Windows, as an important component of buildings, are a key link connecting the indoor and outdoor environments, and also one of the main pathways for building energy loss. Traditional windows have limited functions, mainly providing lighting, ventilation, and views, but their performance in terms of heat insulation, sound insulation, and other aspects is limited, resulting in a significant amount of energy loss through windows.
[0003] By using double or triple-glazed windows and filling them with inert gas, the thermal insulation performance of windows is improved, effectively reducing energy loss caused by indoor and outdoor temperature differences. However, these windows themselves do not generate energy; their energy-saving method is passive and defensive. To address the problem of indoor overheating caused by solar radiation in summer, built-in or external blinds and sunshades are widely used. The emergence of motorized blinds and smart curtains has enabled automated opening, closing, and angle adjustment through motor drive, improving ease of use. However, the functions of these sunshade products are relatively simple, and their drive and control systems still consume additional electricity, failing to integrate with energy production.
[0004] Photovoltaic rooftops and photovoltaic curtain walls are important directions for achieving building energy self-sufficiency. In recent years, there have been attempts to directly apply photovoltaic films or photovoltaic glass to windows, creating photovoltaic windows. However, existing photovoltaic windows have some inherent contradictions and technical bottlenecks: to ensure power generation efficiency, photovoltaic materials need to have a high light absorption rate, but this often sacrifices the window's light transmittance, affecting indoor lighting and views, thus limiting their application in large-area residential building windows. Most photovoltaic windows only solve the power generation problem and fail to effectively integrate multiple practical functions such as sun shading, intelligent dimming, mosquito prevention, and security. Users still need to install additional curtains, screens, monitoring equipment, etc., resulting in complex structures, increased costs, and unsightly appearance. Fixed-installation photovoltaic glass cannot adjust its angle according to changes in the sun's position, causing it to be unable to operate at its optimal power generation state for most of the day, resulting in limited overall power generation efficiency.
[0005] In summary, existing technical solutions suffer from low light energy utilization and low functional integration. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a new energy self-generating window, which solves the technical problems of low light energy utilization and low functional integration in existing technical solutions.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides the following technical solution: a new energy self-generating window, comprising a window frame, characterized in that an outer window body is rotatably installed on the outer side of the upper end of the window frame, a louvered panel is rotatably installed inside the outer window body, a solar photovoltaic film is provided on the outer side of the louvered panel, a louver adjustment structure is provided inside the outer window body, an electric screen curtain structure is provided inside the window frame, and an inner window body is rotatably installed on the inner side wall of the window frame; this solution achieves the self-generating function of the window during daily use by integrating a solar photovoltaic film on the louvered panel of the window. Combining the inner and outer double-layered window bodies and the electric screen curtain structure, a multi-functional integrated window system is formed, integrating power generation, sun shading, ventilation, mosquito prevention, and sound insulation, effectively utilizing the building's facade space and realizing the on-site utilization of green energy.
[0008] Preferably, a pair of dampers are rotatably installed on the outer side walls of the window frame, with the telescopic ends of the pair of dampers rotatably installed on the outer side walls of the window. This design, by incorporating dampers, allows the outer window to move smoothly and slowly during opening or closing. This prevents sudden opening and closing of the window due to wind or improper operation, avoiding safety hazards and impacts on the window structure, and also improves the user experience, making operation safer, easier, and quieter.
[0009] Preferably, the front and rear walls of the outer window are made of glass, and a monitoring camera and a light sensor are installed on the outer window. Integrating the monitoring camera and light sensor into the outer window endows the window with intelligent features. The light sensor can monitor the outdoor light intensity in real time, providing data support for automatically adjusting the angle of the louvers to optimize power generation efficiency or shading effect. The monitoring camera enhances home security, allowing users to remotely view the outside environment and improving residential security.
[0010] Preferably, the louver adjustment structure includes an adjustment motor and an adjustment cable. The adjustment cable is connected to both ends of the louver panel, and the adjustment motor is fixedly installed inside the outer window. The drive end of the adjustment motor is connected to the adjustment cable. The louver adjustment structure precisely controls the rotation angle of the louver panel through the motor drive cable. It is built into the outer window and does not affect the aesthetics. By linking with a photosensor and a network control terminal, the angle of the louver panel can be automatically and intelligently adjusted, thereby maximizing solar energy absorption efficiency or providing intelligent shading according to indoor lighting needs.
[0011] Preferably, the electric curtain structure includes a curtain tube and a traction rope tube. The curtain tube is fixedly installed on the upper wall of the window frame, and the traction rope tube is fixedly installed on the lower wall of the window frame. Both the curtain tube and the traction rope tube are electric rollers. A flexible curtain is provided at the output end of the curtain tube, and a pair of ropes are connected to the flexible curtain. The ropes are connected to the drive end of the traction rope tube. A slide rail is provided inside the window frame, and the flexible curtain is slidably installed in the slide rail. The design of the upper and lower double electric rollers ensures the flatness and smoothness of the curtain during opening and closing. Users can conveniently control the curtain via remote control or smart terminal to meet the needs of ventilation and mosquito prevention, improving the convenience and comfort of use. The slide rail design ensures the airtightness and stability of the curtain.
[0012] Preferably, the front and rear walls of the inner window are made of inner window glass, forming a double-layer window system together with the outer window. This enhances the sound insulation and thermal insulation performance of the window, effectively blocking outdoor noise and heat conduction, creating a quieter and more comfortable indoor environment that is warm in winter and cool in summer, while reducing the building's heating and cooling energy consumption.
[0013] Preferably, a transformer is installed within the window frame, a socket is installed on the inner side of the window frame, and an energy storage battery is installed within the window frame; integrating the transformer, energy storage battery, and socket within the window frame constitutes a complete micro-energy system. The electrical energy generated by the solar photovoltaic film is processed and stored in the battery, and then directly powers small electrical appliances such as mobile phones and desk lamps through the socket. This achieves energy generation, storage, and on-site consumption, reducing dependence on mains power, and can be used as an emergency power source, especially during power outages, enhancing the flexibility and reliability of energy utilization.
[0014] Preferably, a network control terminal is installed within the window frame. This built-in terminal receives and processes information from the photosensor, user commands, and other sources, and controls the operation of components such as the louver motor, motorized curtains, and camera. By connecting to a home network, users can remotely monitor and control various window functions using a mobile app, achieving intelligent window management. This system can also be integrated into a whole-house smart home system, enhancing the technological sophistication and convenience of daily life.
[0015] Beneficial effects This invention provides a new energy self-generating window. Instead of fixed window glass, the solar photovoltaic film is mounted on an adjustable-angle louver panel, resolving the core contradiction between power generation efficiency and light transmission in traditional photovoltaic windows. Through the adjustable louver structure, it can intelligently track the sun's position, ensuring the photovoltaic film is always at the optimal angle for receiving light, significantly improving power generation efficiency. When sufficient light is needed, the louver panel can be adjusted to a horizontal or open state, maintaining indoor transparency and achieving a balance between power generation and light transmission. Multiple functions, including photovoltaic power generation, intelligent shading, motorized curtains, security monitoring, and double-layer hollow sound insulation and heat preservation, are highly integrated into a standard window frame. There is no need to install additional curtains, screens, monitoring cameras, or other auxiliary equipment, saving indoor space, maintaining a clean and aesthetically pleasing building facade, and reducing overall installation costs and maintenance complexity through integrated design. This enhances the comprehensive value and market competitiveness of the window product. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the intended purpose, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Detailed description follows.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4This invention provides a technical solution: a new energy self-generating window, comprising a window frame 1, an outer window body 2 rotatably installed on the outer side of the upper end of the window frame 1, a louvered panel 3 rotatably installed inside the outer window body 2, a solar photovoltaic film installed on the outer side of the louvered panel 3, a louver adjustment structure installed inside the outer window body 2, an electric screen curtain structure installed inside the window frame 1, and an inner window body 4 rotatably installed on the inner wall of the window frame 1. This solution achieves the self-generating function of the window during daily use by integrating a solar photovoltaic film on the louvered panel 3. Combining the inner and outer double-layered window bodies and the electric screen curtain structure, a multi-functional integrated window system is formed, integrating power generation, sun shading, ventilation, mosquito prevention, and sound insulation, effectively utilizing the building's facade space and realizing the on-site utilization of green energy.
[0023] In this embodiment, a pair of dampers 5 are rotatably mounted on the outer side walls of the window frame 1, with the telescopic ends of the dampers 5 rotatably mounted on the outer side walls of the window body 2. This design, by setting the dampers 5, allows the outer window body 2 to move smoothly and slowly during opening or closing. This prevents the window from suddenly opening or closing due to wind or improper operation, avoiding safety hazards and impacts on the window structure, and also improving the user experience, making operation safer, easier, and quieter.
[0024] In this embodiment, the front and rear walls of the outer window 2 are made of outer window glass 6. A monitoring camera 7 and a light sensor 8 are installed on the outer window 2. Integrating the monitoring camera 7 and the light sensor 8 into the outer window 2 endows the window with intelligent features. The light sensor 8 can monitor outdoor light intensity in real time, providing data support for automatically adjusting the angle of the louvers 3 to optimize power generation efficiency or shading effect. The monitoring camera 7 enhances home security, allowing users to remotely view the outside environment and improving residential security.
[0025] In this embodiment, the louver adjustment structure includes an adjustment motor 9 and an adjustment cable 10. The adjustment cable 10 is connected to both ends of the louver panel 3, and the adjustment motor 9 is fixedly installed inside the outer window 2. The drive end of the adjustment motor 9 is connected to the adjustment cable 10. The louver adjustment structure precisely controls the rotation angle of the louver panel 3 through the motor drive cable. Built into the outer window 2, it does not affect the aesthetics. By linking with the photosensor 8 and the network control terminal, the angle of the louver panel 3 can be automatically and intelligently adjusted, thereby maximizing solar energy absorption efficiency or providing intelligent shading according to indoor lighting needs.
[0026] This embodiment further specifies that the electric curtain structure includes a curtain tube 11 and a traction rope tube 12. The curtain tube 11 is fixedly installed on the upper inner wall of the window frame 1, and the traction rope tube 12 is fixedly installed on the lower inner wall of the window frame 1. The curtain tube 11 and the traction rope tube 12 are electric rollers. A flexible curtain 13 is provided at the output end of the curtain tube 11. A pair of ropes are connected to the flexible curtain 13, and the ropes are connected to the drive end of the traction rope tube 12. A slide rail is provided inside the window frame 1, and the flexible curtain 13 is slidably installed in the slide rail. The design of the upper and lower double electric rollers ensures the flatness and smoothness of the curtain during opening and closing. Users can conveniently control the curtain via remote control or smart terminal to meet the needs of ventilation and mosquito prevention, improving the convenience and comfort of use. The slide rail design ensures the airtightness and stability of the curtain.
[0027] In this embodiment, the front and rear walls of the inner window 4 are made of inner window glass 14, which together with the outer window 2 constitute a double-layer window system. This enhances the sound insulation and thermal insulation performance of the window, effectively blocks outdoor noise and heat conduction, creates a quieter and more comfortable indoor environment that is warm in winter and cool in summer, and reduces the building's heating and cooling energy consumption.
[0028] This embodiment is further configured such that a transformer is installed inside the window frame 1, a socket is installed on the inner side of the window frame 1, and an energy storage battery is installed inside the window frame 1; integrating the transformer, energy storage battery, and socket into the window frame 1 constitutes a complete micro energy system. The electrical energy generated by the solar photovoltaic film is processed and stored in the battery, and then directly powers small electrical appliances such as mobile phones and desk lamps through the socket. This realizes the generation, storage, and on-site consumption of energy, reducing dependence on mains power, and can be used as an emergency power source, especially during power outages, enhancing the flexibility and reliability of energy utilization.
[0029] In this embodiment, a network control terminal is further configured within the window frame 1. The built-in network control terminal is responsible for receiving and processing information from the photosensor 8, user commands, and other sources, and for controlling the operation of components such as the venetian blind 3 motor, electric curtain, and camera. By connecting to a home network, users can remotely monitor and control various window functions using a mobile app, achieving intelligent window management. This system can also be integrated into a whole-house smart home system, enhancing the technological sophistication and convenience of daily life.
[0030] Its detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in this field; such as Figure 1-4As shown, during the day, the solar photovoltaic film installed on the louver panel 3 automatically absorbs solar energy and converts it into direct current. The network control terminal monitors the light intensity and sun position in real time based on data from the light sensor 8. To maximize power generation efficiency, the control terminal automatically drives the adjustment motor 9 in the louver adjustment structure to fine-tune the angle of the louver panel 3, ensuring it always faces the sun at the optimal angle. The generated electricity is prioritized to power the window's own motor, sensors, camera, and control terminal through the built-in circuit system. Excess electricity is automatically stored in the energy storage battery within the window frame 1 for use at night or on cloudy days. When the energy storage battery is fully charged, excess power can also be supplied to the home grid if the system is connected in parallel. Users can personalize the window settings via a mobile app or smart home system. The network control terminal will automatically execute corresponding operations based on these presets, combined with the light sensor 8 and time data, without manual intervention. When ventilation is needed, users can manually unlock and push open the outer window 2, just like operating a regular outward-hung window. The dampers 5 installed on both sides of the window frame 1 provide a buffering force, ensuring that the window opens smoothly and slowly, preventing the window from opening and closing violently even in windy weather, making it safe and effortless. When closing, the dampers 5 assist the window to slowly return to its original position.
[0031] Meanwhile, the excess electricity will be supplied to the miniaturized computing power auxiliary equipment (miniature computing power base station) integrated in the window frame 1. This equipment uses the generated green electricity for computing processing, converting the electricity into computing power resources that can be used by smart devices inside the house.
[0032] Users can manually control the louver adjustment structure via a mobile app or wall switch. The rotation angle of the louver panel 3 can be precisely adjusted from fully closed to fully horizontal, allowing for free control of indoor light. When mosquito prevention is needed but ventilation is still desired, users can activate the motorized screen curtain structure via the mobile app or switch. The screen curtain tube 11 and the traction rope tube 12 work together to smoothly and tautly unfold the flexible screen curtain 13 from top to bottom until it is fully closed. The edges of the screen curtain fit tightly within the track, ensuring mosquito prevention. To retract the screen curtain, simply reverse the operation; the screen curtain will automatically and smoothly roll into the upper screen curtain tube 11. When small electrical appliances such as mobile phones and table lamps need charging or power, the socket located inside the window frame 1 can be used directly. This socket is powered by the window's energy storage battery or real-time power generation, realizing convenient use of green energy.
[0033] Users can connect to the surveillance camera 7 on the outer window 2 at any time via a mobile app. They can view the outside situation in real time or review historical recordings, providing an extra layer of security for their home. The surveillance camera 7 can also assist in monitoring lighting conditions to aid the camera's operation.
