Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic curtain wall technology, specifically to a green and environmentally friendly photovoltaic curtain wall for buildings and its application method. Background Technology

[0002] A curtain wall is the exterior wall cladding of a building. It is a lightweight wall with decorative effects commonly used in modern large and high-rise buildings. Photovoltaic curtain walls are also a type of curtain wall. They absorb solar energy and convert it into electrical energy, which is more in line with the requirements of green and environmental protection. Due to the characteristics of photovoltaic curtain walls, they are mostly used in buildings such as commercial buildings and private villas.

[0003] The current commercial buildings and private villas have diverse architectural forms, and there are often large gaps between the upper and lower floors. Since traditional photovoltaic curtain walls are mostly fixed to the wall, metal baffles are usually used to cover the gaps to make them more aesthetically pleasing. However, with long-term use, the surface paint layer of the baffles will peel off, reducing the service life of the baffles. This also limits the installation area of ​​the photovoltaic curtain wall, resulting in poor green and environmentally friendly effects. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0021] Example 1 Due to the diverse architectural forms of current commercial buildings and private villas, the installation area for photovoltaic curtain walls is limited. To address this issue, [the following is a proposed solution]. Figures 1-6 This embodiment proposes a green and environmentally friendly photovoltaic curtain wall for buildings, including a mounting frame 1. The mounting frame 1 is installed on the top of the floor gap, thereby changing the installation direction of the photovoltaic curtain wall. A support plate 11 is slidably installed on the mounting frame 1. A rotating plate 12 is rotatably installed on the support plate 11. Two sets of side plates 13 are rotatably installed on the rotating plate 12. Two sets of T-shaped plates 14 that are slidably connected to the mounting frame 1 are fixedly installed on the support plate 11, making the movement of the support plate 11 more stable and increasing the stability of the mounting plate. Two sets of drive motors 15 are fixedly installed on the mounting frame 1. Each set of drive motors 15 has a threaded post 16 that is threadedly connected to the support plate 11 fixedly installed at its output end. Photovoltaic panels 5 are installed on the rotating plate 12 and the side plates 13. The two sets of drive motors 15 are started simultaneously, causing the threaded post 16 to rotate within the support plate 11, allowing the support plate 11 to move on the mounting frame 1.

[0022] An adjustment mechanism 2 for adjusting the angle of the rotating plate 12 is installed on the support plate 11. An unfolding mechanism 3 for storing the side plate 13 is installed on the support plate 11. A cleaning mechanism 4 for cleaning the surface of the photovoltaic curtain wall is installed on the rotating plate 12. By starting two sets of drive motors 15 to rotate synchronously, the support plate 11 drives the rotating plate 12 to move, while the side plate 13 and the rotating plate 12 rotate in sequence, so that the side plate 13 and the rotating plate 12 can be stored.

[0023] The adjusting mechanism 2 includes two sets of gear plates 201 fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 1. Two sets of fixed shafts 202 are rotatably mounted on the support plate 11. Each set of fixed shafts 202 is fixedly mounted with a first gear 203 rotatably connected to the support plate 11. Two sets of rotating columns 204 are rotatably mounted on the support plate 11. The adjusting mechanism 2 also includes a first helical gear 205 fixedly mounted on the rotating columns 204 and the fixed shafts 202 and meshing with each other. A first worm gear 206 is fixedly mounted on the rotating columns 204. Two sets of first worm wheels 207 meshing with the first worm gear 206 are fixedly mounted on the rotating plate 12. As the support plate 11 moves, the side plate 13 unfolds. The first gear 203 meshes with the toothed plate 201, causing the first gear 203 to drive the first helical tooth 205 connected to the fixed shaft 202 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the first worm gear 206 connected to the rotating column 204 to rotate. The rotation of the first worm gear 206 drives the rotating plate 12 connected to the first worm wheel 207 to rotate, allowing the photovoltaic panel 5 to fully contact sunlight. This not only fills the gaps between floors, making them more aesthetically pleasing, but also avoids the situation where the installation area of ​​photovoltaic curtain walls is limited due to the diverse architectural forms of commercial buildings and private villas. Example 2 Because severe weather conditions may damage photovoltaic curtain walls, in order to solve this problem, refer to Figures 1-6The unfolding mechanism 3 includes a movable groove 301 on the mounting frame 1, a rack 302 fixedly mounted on the movable groove 301, a first rotating rod 303 rotatably mounted on the support plate 11, and a second gear 304 meshing with the rack 302 fixedly mounted on the first rotating rod 303. The unfolding mechanism 3 also includes a groove 305 on the rotating plate 12 to facilitate the rotation of a universal joint 306. A universal joint 306 fixedly connected to the first rotating rod 303 is mounted on the groove 305. A threaded rod 307 fixedly connected to the other end of the universal joint 306 is rotatably mounted on the rotating plate 12. The unfolding mechanism 3 also includes two sets of second rotating rods 308 rotatably mounted on the rotating plate 12. Each set of second rotating rods 308 and threaded rods 307 has a second helical gear 309 fixedly mounted on it. The other end of each set of second rotating rods 308... A second worm gear 310 is fixedly installed, and a second worm wheel 311 meshing with the second worm gear 310 is fixedly installed on each side plate 13. Under the action of the rack 302, when the support plate 11 moves, the second gear 304 rotates, causing the universal joint 306 connected to the first rotating rod 303 to rotate. At this time, both ends of the universal joint 306 are perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The universal joint 306 drives the threaded rod 307 to rotate. Under the action of the second helical gear 309, the threaded rod 307 rotates, causing the second worm gear 310 connected to the second rotating rod 308 to rotate. The rotation of the second worm gear 310 causes the side plate 13 connected to the second worm wheel 311 to rotate, so that the side plate 13 is opened when the support plate 11 is removed from the mounting frame 1, and can be stored when it is moved in, avoiding damage to the photovoltaic curtain wall in severe weather.

[0024] Example 3 If stains on the surface of photovoltaic panels are not cleaned in time, they will corrode the glass, making the panel rough and further reducing light transmittance. To solve this problem, refer to... Figures 1-6The cleaning mechanism 4 includes a first sliding plate 401 slidably mounted on the rotating plate 12 and threadedly connected to the threaded rod 307. The first sliding plate 401 has two sets of slots 402 to provide space for the storage of second sliding plates 403. Two sets of second sliding plates 403 are rotatably mounted on the first sliding plate 401. Cleaning brushes 404 are fixedly mounted on both the first and second sliding plates 401 for cleaning the surface of the photovoltaic panel 5. The cleaning mechanism 4 also includes a first fixing rod 405 fixedly mounted on the side plate 13 and slidably connected to the first and second sliding plates 401 and 403, allowing the first sliding plate 401 to... The rotation of slide 401 and slide 403 is more stable. The position of the first fixing rod 405 corresponds to the rotation axis of the side plate 13. Each side plate 13 is fixedly installed with a second fixing rod 406 that is slidably connected to slide 403, making the movement of slide 403 more stable. The threaded rod 307 rotates in slide 401, so that slide 401 can drive slide 403 to move up and down along the first fixing rod 405 and the second fixing rod 406. The surface of photovoltaic panel 5 is cleaned by cleaning brush 404, which avoids the situation where the surface of photovoltaic panel 5 is left with stains that may reduce the light transmittance.

[0025] Working principle: Two sets of drive motors 15 are started synchronously, causing the threaded column 16 to rotate within the support plate 11. This causes the support plate to move the rotating plate out of the mounting bracket. Under the action of the rack 302, the movement of the support plate 11 causes the second gear 304 to rotate, driving the universal joint 306 connected to the first rotating rod 303 to rotate. At this time, both ends of the universal joint 306 are perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The universal joint 306 drives the threaded rod 307 to rotate. Under the action of the second helical gear 309, the rotation of the threaded rod 307 drives the second worm gear 310 connected to the second rotating rod 308 to rotate. The rotation of the second worm gear 310 drives the side plate 1 connected to the second worm wheel 311 to rotate. 3. Rotation causes the side plate 13 to open. After the side plate 13 is unfolded, the first gear 203 meshes with the toothed plate 201, causing the first gear 203 to drive the first helical gear 205 connected to the fixed shaft 202 to rotate, thereby driving the first worm gear 206 connected to the rotating column 204 to rotate. The rotation of the first worm gear 206 drives the rotating plate 12 connected to the first worm wheel 207 to rotate, so that the photovoltaic panel 5 can fully contact sunlight. The threaded rod 307 rotates in the first sliding plate 401, so that the first sliding plate 401 can drive the second sliding plate 403 to move up and down along the first fixed rod 405 and the second fixed rod 406. The surface of the photovoltaic panel 5 is cleaned by the cleaning brush 404.
