Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of louvered insulated glass technology, specifically relating to energy-saving improvements of marine louvered insulated glass. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the shipbuilding industry, the performance and functional requirements of marine windows are increasing. Users have more and more detailed requirements for energy saving and intelligence. Traditional marine glass has obvious shortcomings in structural design and functional integration, making it difficult to meet multiple needs such as heat insulation, sound insulation, sun shading, energy saving and intelligent control.

[0003] Although louvered insulated glass windows have made significant technological progress in energy saving and intelligence over the years, the existing louvered insulated glass window structures are mostly based on fixed building developments. Their usage environment is relatively stable or has regular periodicity, and they cannot be directly applied to marine environments with high humidity, salt spray corrosion, strong wind and wave impact, and drastic environmental changes.

[0004] High humidity and salt spray corrosion can be addressed by selecting more corrosion-resistant manufacturing materials, and the impact of strong winds and waves can be addressed by strengthening the robustness of the installation structure. However, there is no specific technical research on the drastically changing environmental conditions that ships are in (mainly the unstable marine environment and the rapid changes in light and temperature caused by ship movement).

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a marine energy-saving louvered insulated glass window that can improve energy efficiency, taking into account the actual characteristics of the ship's operating environment. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the above technical problems, this invention provides a marine energy-saving louvered insulated glass window, which not only has various intelligent functions but also has excellent energy-saving effects, making it suitable for ships.

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is: a marine energy-saving louvered insulated glass window, comprising inner glass, outer glass, window frame, louver blinds, louver drive assembly, energy storage battery pack and control box. The louver drive assembly includes a motor, limiters and transmission device. The control box includes a housing and a control circuit board. The control circuit board is provided with a microprocessor, a power management unit, a motor drive unit and a wireless signal receiving and processing unit. The motor drive unit is electrically connected to the motor. The motor is connected to the transmission device. The window frame is also provided with an environmental sensing module. The environmental sensing module is electrically connected to the control circuit board.

The outer glass is electrically connected to the electrochromic drive circuit.

[0008] Preferably, the side frame of the window includes an inner side panel, a side connecting plate, and an outer side panel. The inner side panel and the outer side panel are both made of thermally conductive material, and the side connecting plate is made of thermally insulating material. The inner side panel and the outer side panel are connected by the side connecting plate. The side frame is equipped with a heat conduction adjustment component. When the venetian blind is lowered to the bottom, the blades of the venetian blind come into contact with the heat conduction adjustment component to form a thermal bridge. The lower frame of the window includes a lower inner plate, a lower connecting plate, and a lower outer plate. The lower inner plate and the lower outer plate are both made of heat-conducting material, and the lower connecting plate is made of heat-insulating material. The lower inner plate and the lower outer plate are connected by the lower connecting plate. The inner surfaces of the lower inner plate and the lower outer plate are provided with lower heat-conducting blocks. The lower part of the venetian blind is provided with a bottom beam, which is made of heat-conducting material. When the venetian blind is lowered to the bottom, the two sides of the bottom beam are connected to two lower heat-conducting blocks to form a thermal bridge.

[0009] Preferably, the heat conduction adjustment assembly includes two side heat conduction blocks, which are movably disposed on the inner surfaces of the inner side plate and the outer side plate respectively via guide rails. A limiting block is provided at one end of the guide rail. Several electromagnets are provided on the inner side of the side connecting plate and one side of the side heat conduction blocks. The polarity adjustment switch of the electromagnets is located inside the lower frame. The polarity adjustment switch is electrically connected to the control circuit board. When the bottom beam descends to the bottom, it engages with the polarity adjustment switch, and the electromagnets repel each other, pushing out the side heat conduction blocks. At the same time, the blades flip and engage with the side heat conduction blocks to form a thermal bridge.

[0010] Preferably, the side heat-conducting block includes a heat-conducting outer shell and lightweight heat-conducting particles, wherein the lightweight heat-conducting particles are disposed inside the heat-conducting outer shell.

[0011] Preferably, a flexible electronic display film is adhered to the inner surface of the inner glass, and the flexible electronic display film is electrically connected to the control circuit board.

[0012] Preferably, the venetian blinds are made of metal blades, and the surface of the blades is coated with a low-emissivity nano-coating.

[0013] Preferably, the outer glass includes a first outer glass, an electrochromic film, and a second outer glass, wherein the electrochromic film is disposed between the first outer glass and the second outer glass.

[0014] Preferably, the upper frame of the window is further provided with a photovoltaic power generation component, which is electrically connected to the power management unit. The power management unit includes a zone power supply module, which is electrically connected to the output terminal of the energy storage battery pack.

[0015] Preferably, the environmental sensing module includes a light sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, a fog sensor, and a human infrared sensor.

[0016] Preferably, it also includes an external controller, which is electrically connected to the control circuit board via a flexible electrical connector.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are: using the outer electrochromic laminated glass as the core dimming carrier and the built-in louvers as the auxiliary shading mechanism, environmental and human signals are collected through light intensity sensors, infrared radiation sensors, and human infrared sensing sensors, and the microprocessor realizes automatic optimization of the shading effect according to the light intensity. It can also be manually intervened by wireless remote control and physical controller, which not only saves energy, but also creates a comfortable indoor light environment.

[0018] Based on the actual characteristics of the ship's operating environment, the structure of the louver is fully utilized, and the heat conduction performance of the louver is adjusted according to the real-time environment, so as to achieve energy-saving effect in the entire temperature range and meet the needs of energy saving and privacy protection.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. 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.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] Example 1 Figures 1 to 4 This is a marine-grade energy-saving louvered insulated glass window, comprising an inner glass pane 1, an outer glass pane 2, a window frame 3, louvered blinds 4, a louvered drive assembly 5, an energy storage battery pack 9, and a control box 6. In this embodiment, the louver drive assembly 5 includes a motor, a limiter, and a transmission device; the control box 6 includes a housing and a control circuit board, with the control circuit board detachably fixed inside the housing. The control circuit board includes a microprocessor, a power management unit, a motor drive unit, and a wireless signal receiving and processing unit. In this embodiment, the microprocessor is an STM32F103. See the circuit diagram below. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The power management unit includes a zoned power supply module, which is electrically connected to the output of the energy storage battery pack. Each zone provides independent power to functional modules such as the electrochromic film layer of the outer glass and the motor drive unit. See the circuit diagram below. Figure 7 The wireless signal receiving and processing unit is used to pair with an external wireless remote control. This is a conventional technology, and the specific operation will not be described in detail. The circuit diagram for this embodiment can be found here. Figure 11 ; The motor drive unit is electrically connected to the motor, which in turn is connected to the transmission device. The transmission device controls the raising, lowering, and tilting of the Venetian blind 4. This is a standard structure, and further details are omitted. Please refer to the circuit diagram. Figure 10 ; It also includes an environmental sensing module 10, which is located inside the window 3 and is electrically connected to the control circuit board. The energy storage battery pack 9 is electrically connected to the control circuit board; the environmental sensing module 10 is located on the window 3, and the environmental sensing module is electrically connected to the control circuit board. In this embodiment, the environmental sensing module includes a light sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, a fog sensor, and a human infrared sensor. The sensor data sampling frequency is 10Hz. See the circuit diagram below. Figure 9 .

[0023] The outer glass 2 is an electrochromic dimming glass, electrically connected to an electrochromic driver, and the electrochromic driver and the electrochromic driving circuit are electrically connected. The outer glass 2 includes a first outer glass 21, an electrochromic film 22, and a second outer glass 23, with the electrochromic film 22 disposed between the first outer glass 21 and the second outer glass 23. (See circuit diagram.) Figure 12 .

[0024] In this embodiment, the electrochromic film 22 adopts a deposited electrochromic film layer. Its working principle is as follows: Li⁺ is driven to embed / de-embed between film layers by an electric field, changing the band gap of the film layers to achieve stepless adjustment of light transmittance from 0-90%. When energized, lithium ions are embedded in the WO3 film layer to form a blue tungsten bronze structure, presenting a dark light-blocking state; after the power is turned off, the ions are de-embedded and the transparency is restored. Together with the venetian blinds, it forms a dual protection of "physical sunshade and electronic dimming", which is precisely adapted to different lighting scenarios such as strong light and cloudy in marine environment.

[0025] In this embodiment, a flexible electronic display film 11 is attached to the inner surface of the inner glass 1. The flexible electronic display film 11 is electrically connected to the control circuit board. See the circuit diagram below. Figure 13 .

[0026] The flexible electronic display film 11 is a composite flexible LED display film or TFT-LCD display unit. It transmits electrical signals through a transparent conductive film (ITO) to control the brightness and color presentation of individual pixels. The flexible electronic display film 11 is only 0.3-0.5mm thick, which does not affect the light transmittance of the glass or the structural strength. It can realize functions such as high-definition images, dynamic advertising, and ambient lighting.

[0027] In this embodiment, the venetian blind 4 is made of metal blades, and the surface of the blades is coated with a low-emissivity nano-coating. The low-emissivity nano-coating on the surface of the blades can reflect infrared heat and reduce the heat transfer coefficient of the glass.

[0028] In this embodiment, the upper frame 31 of the window 3 is also provided with a photovoltaic power generation component 8. The photovoltaic power generation component 8 is electrically connected to the power management unit. The photovoltaic power generation component 8 is a conventional component, and the specific connection method will not be described in detail. Please refer to the circuit diagram. Figure 8 .

[0029] This embodiment also includes an external controller 7, which is equipped with a light. The external controller 7 is electrically connected to the control circuit board via a flexible electrical connector. The external controller 7 is a conventional component, and its specific connection method will not be described in detail. See the circuit diagram below. Figure 14 .

[0030] The louvered glass window structure in this embodiment uses the outer electrochromic glass as the core dimming and shading structure, with the built-in louvers as an auxiliary shading mechanism. The control circuit board, zoned power supply module, environmental sensing module, and electrochromic driver form a coordinated control. Environmental and human signals are collected through light intensity sensors, infrared radiation sensors, and human infrared sensing sensors. The microprocessor realizes automatic optimization of the shading effect according to the light intensity. It can also be manually intervened by wireless remote control and physical controller. It not only saves energy but also creates a comfortable indoor lighting environment.

[0031] Example 2 See Figure 19 The side frame 32 of the form 3 includes an inner side panel 321, a side connecting plate 322, and an outer side panel 323. The inner side panel 321 and the outer side panel 323 are both made of thermally conductive materials, such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel alloys. The side connecting plate 322 is made of thermally insulating materials, such as polyurethane. The inner side panel 321 and the outer side panel 323 are fastened to the side connecting plate 322 for connection.

[0032] A heat conduction adjustment component 33 is provided inside the side frame 32. When the venetian blind 4 is lowered to the bottom, the blades of the venetian blind 4 are connected to the heat conduction adjustment component 33 to form a thermal bridge. The lower border 34 of the form 3 includes a lower inner plate 341, a lower connecting plate 342 and a lower outer plate 343. The heat-conducting lower inner plate 341 and lower outer plate 343 are connected by the non-heat-conducting lower connecting plate 342. The inner surfaces of the lower inner plate 341 and lower outer plate 343 are provided with lower heat-conducting blocks 35.

[0033] The lower part of the Venetian blind 4 is provided with a bottom beam 41, which is made of heat-conducting material. When the Venetian blind 4 is lowered to the bottom, the two sides of the bottom beam 41 are connected to the lower heat-conducting block 35 to form a thermal bridge.

[0034] See Figures 15 to 18 In this embodiment, the heat conduction adjustment component 33 includes two side heat conduction blocks 331. The side heat conduction blocks 331 are movably disposed on the inner surfaces of the inner side plate 321 and the outer side plate 323 via guide rails 332. A limiting block is provided at one end of the guide rail 332. Several electromagnets 333 are provided on the inner side of the side connecting plate 322 and one side of the side heat conduction blocks 331. The polarity adjustment switch 334 of the electromagnets 333 is disposed inside the lower frame 34. The polarity adjustment switch 334 is electrically connected to the control circuit board. When the bottom beam 41 descends to the bottom, it connects with the polarity adjustment switch 334. At this time, the electromagnets 333 repel each other, pushing out the lightweight heat conduction block 331. At the same time, the blades flip and connect with the side heat conduction blocks 331 to form a thermal bridge.

[0035] In this embodiment, the side heat-conducting block 331 includes a heat-conducting outer shell and lightweight heat-conducting particles, with the lightweight heat-conducting particles disposed inside the heat-conducting outer shell. For example, using an aluminum outer shell filled with graphene particles or thermally conductive silicone particles can greatly reduce weight and facilitate movement.

[0036] Connecting ribs that do not interfere with the operation of the side heat-conducting block 331 can be added to the upper and lower sides of the inner side plate 321 and the outer side plate 323 to improve the connection strength. The lower frame 34 can also be set in the same way.

[0037] Under normal conditions, the bottom beam 41 of the Venetian blind 4 does not descend to contact the polarity adjustment switch 333. At this time, it will not affect the normal light blocking and flipping of the Venetian blind 4. The inner side panel 321 and the outer side panel 323 are set at intervals through the heat-insulating side connecting plate 322 to form a broken bridge structure. The lower frame 34 adopts a similar structure, which effectively reduces the energy transfer on the heat conduction path, ensuring structural stability while improving the overall heat insulation performance.

[0038] When the environmental sensor detects that the outdoor temperature is suitable and the indoor temperature is relatively high (generally 22 to 26 degrees Celsius outdoors, and around 30 degrees Celsius indoors), the bottom beam 41 of the Venetian blind 4 is fully lowered, the polarity adjustment switch is activated, and the two side heat-conducting blocks 331 are pushed out under the action of the electromagnet 333. Then, the microprocessor controls the slats of the Venetian blind 4 to rotate at a certain angle and connect with the side heat-conducting blocks 331 to form a thermal bridge. Since the slats are flexible, they will deform and fit together when in contact with the side heat-conducting blocks 331, resulting in a large contact area for good heat conduction. The bottom beam 41 and the two lower heat-conducting blocks 35 are connected, so that the lower frame 34 can also conduct heat, which is beneficial for heat dissipation in the room. It has an energy-saving effect across the entire temperature range. At this time, the outer glass 2 is used to protect privacy.

[0039] This invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Based on the technical solutions disclosed in this invention, those skilled in the art can make some substitutions and modifications to some of the technical features without creative effort, and all such substitutions and modifications are within the protection scope of this invention.
