Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building technology, and in particular to a cable-membrane structure, building structure, and lightweight, heat-insulating, and enhanced solar roof. Background Technology

[0002] Buildings involve roofs and walls, and traditional buildings are constructed using wood, steel plates, or reinforced concrete, which have disadvantages such as high cost and lack of portability.

[0003] Another example is the roof of a greenhouse, which has a simple structure. Traditional solar greenhouses have low land utilization rates, while multi-span greenhouses have high land utilization rates but poor insulation. Therefore, some greenhouses have begun to use double-layer inflatable film structures to improve thermal resistance. However, simply stacking two layers of film together can cause thermal bridging due to the extremely thin air layer at the joints. Adding complex insulation blanket structures is necessary to improve insulation performance.

[0004] With the development of technology, double-layered air-filled greenhouses have been developed, which can significantly improve the thermal resistance of greenhouses. However, the reliance on the natural rupture of the foam affects the efficiency of the greenhouse in using sunlight, and its structure follows the traditional double-layered solar greenhouse or air-filled greenhouse structure, which cannot give full play to the advantages of air-filled insulation.

[0005] Traditional greenhouse inflatable cable-membrane structures are lightweight, have fewer pressure-bearing components, and high material utilization. However, the cable structure is located on the outside of the membrane structure, making it difficult to suspend the load using air pressure. In addition, ventilation is difficult in summer. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the above problems, this invention provides a simple, convenient, and reliable cable-membrane structure, building structure, and lightweight, heat-insulating, and enhanced solar roof.

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a cable membrane structure, including an air bladder, and further including an enclosure part one, an enclosure part two, and a retractable part, wherein the enclosure part one and the enclosure part two are respectively located at the top and bottom of the air bladder, and one end of the retractable part is connected to the enclosure part one, and the other end passes through the enclosure part two.

[0008] The airbag is a single airbag, and the single airbag has a single cavity, which is used to fill gas or air bubbles. Alternatively, the airbag may include a bladder body comprising three layers of thin films stacked together in sequence, with cavities formed between adjacent films, the cavities being used to fill with gas or air bubbles; Two cavities are used for simultaneous filling with gas, simultaneous filling with air bubbles, filling with either gas, or filling with either air bubble.

[0009] The capsule contains a membrane in the middle with several counterweights spaced apart. Alternatively, the membrane in the middle of the capsule may be provided with several auxiliary air bags.

[0010] A building structure includes the aforementioned cable-membrane structure, wherein the airbags comprise at least two arranged side-by-side to form a thin film body; The first enclosure and the second enclosure are respectively located at the top and bottom of the film body, and the retractable parts are located at both ends of the film body; The retractable section is also provided between adjacent airbags; The upper end of the retractable part between adjacent airbags is used to connect the enclosure part one, and the lower end extends out of the film body for winding and fixing.

[0011] A supporting ventilation tube is provided between the retraction and expansion parts of adjacent airbags.

[0012] It also includes a force-transmitting seal located between adjacent airbags; The take-up and release section includes an upper take-up and release section and a lower take-up and release section. The force-transmitting seal is connected between the upper take-up and release section and the lower take-up and release section. The upper take-up and release section is connected to the enclosing section one, and the lower take-up and release section is used for winding and fixing.

[0013] It also includes a force-transmitting seal located between adjacent airbags; The force-transmitting seal is used to connect the enclosure part one. The upper end of the take-up and release part is used to connect the force-transmitting seal, and the lower end extends out of the film body for winding and fixing. Or the force-transmitting seal is used to connect the enclosing part two.

[0014] Depending on the actual needs, air bubbles can be filled into one cavity to expel air from another cavity, or compressed air can be injected into one cavity to expel air bubbles from another cavity.

[0015] According to actual needs, by inflating the airbag and releasing the retractable part, the space between the first enclosure and the second enclosure is increased, thereby opening the gap between adjacent airbags.

[0016] A lightweight, thermally insulated, and enhanced solar roof includes the aforementioned building structure, wherein the thin film body, enclosure one, and enclosure two form a roof panel; It also includes a support structure, which comprises a plurality of support columns for supporting the top plate.

[0017] In operation, this invention involves stacking multiple thin films to form an airbag, allowing for inflation or bubble filling of the cavities between adjacent films, making it suitable for architectural applications. When applied to a building structure, the airbag is shaped by the combined action of enclosure part one, enclosure part two, and retractable part. Inflation tightens the retractable parts between adjacent airbags, causing them to press against each other, resulting in a stable and sealed roof.

[0018] This invention uses an airbag that is easy to assemble and disassemble, lightweight and reliable, has high heat preservation capabilities, and meets the needs of ventilation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0022] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," and "horizontal," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0023] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] The present invention is as follows Figure 1 As shown, a cable-membrane structure includes an airbag, an enclosure portion one, an enclosure portion two, and a retractable portion. The enclosure portion one and the enclosure portion two are located at the top and bottom of the airbag, respectively. One end of the retractable portion is connected to the enclosure portion one, and the other end passes through the enclosure portion two. The retractable portion can be extended according to usage.

[0025] The retractable and extendable parts can be arranged opposite each other, located at both ends or around the airbag, and the appropriate number can be set according to the needs of use.

[0026] The shape of the capsule can be selected and set according to the specific working conditions, such as a long strip or a square shape.

[0027] In operation, this invention employs a single airbag, with an enclosing part one, an enclosing part two, and a set of retractable parts located around the airbag. By contracting the retractable parts, the airbag is flattened (i.e., flattened), thus forming a seal with the surrounding boundary or other airbags. Conversely, the seal can be released.

[0028] When multiple airbags are used in combination, the tension of the first enclosure can be transferred to the second enclosure or the building through the retraction and extension section, which is highly reliable and simple to construct.

[0029] Cable membrane structures can be used for building roofs or walls, etc.

[0030] In the cable-membrane structure and building structure of this invention, the enclosure part one and enclosure part two may be configured as cables, nets, plates, membranes, arches or beams, etc. If the take-up and unwinding section is set up with a cable, it can be taken up and unwound manually or automatically by the winding machine 8.

[0031] The airbag is a single airbag (such as a single airbag formed by stacking two thin films, or a single film stacked and heat-sealed to form a cylindrical film), and the single airbag has a single cavity, which is used to fill gas or air bubbles. Or such as Figure 2 As shown, the airbag 1 includes a bag body, which includes three layers of thin film 2 stacked together in sequence, with cavities 3 formed between adjacent films, and the cavities are used to fill gas or air bubbles; Two cavities are used for simultaneous filling with gas, simultaneous filling with air bubbles, filling with either gas, or filling with either air bubble.

[0032] The cavity is provided with at least one opening 4, wherein one opening is used to connect an air inflator or a bubble generator.

[0033] In actual use, a single airbag or an airbag with three layers of film can be selected to meet the requirements of different users.

[0034] When using the capsule, the first and second enclosure portions are located on the first and third films of the capsule, respectively.

[0035] Three thin films are stacked to form an airbag, which allows for the inflation or inflation of air bubbles into the cavities between adjacent films. This process removes the original medium from the cavities, altering the physical properties of the interlayer and making it suitable for various working conditions (such as heat preservation and light transmission). For example, air bubbles can be used for heat preservation. Each cavity of the airbag has an opening designed to facilitate connection to the outside environment and simplify operation.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the membrane in the middle of the capsule is provided with several counterweights 13.

[0037] The three-layer film is hot-pressed and a counterweight is placed on the middle film to ensure that the middle film can be reliably and evenly expanded when the cavity is filled with air.

[0038] The counterweight can be added by injecting water into the inner sides of both ends of the intermediate membrane, or by setting up separate counterweight blocks.

[0039] Or such as Figure 4 As shown, the membrane in the middle of the capsule is provided with several auxiliary air bags 16.

[0040] The auxiliary air bags can be inflated or deflated individually, or several auxiliary air bags can be connected together for inflation and deflation. The corresponding air passages can be set on the membrane in the middle for operation.

[0041] In application, when the auxiliary air bag is emptied, the middle film is attached to the first or third film, so that the single cavity can be used to the maximum extent for inflation or bubble filling operations.

[0042] Gas is introduced into the auxiliary air bag, which stretches the intermediate membrane. By filling and venting the cavity, the membrane can be evenly spread between the first and third membranes.

[0043] When the auxiliary air bag is inflated, the first and third films can also be opened. In this way, two considerable cavities are formed between the middle film and the first and third films, which inhibits air convection and improves the heat preservation effect.

[0044] When in use, it can be inflated with air and bubbles simultaneously, or one part can be inflated with air and the other with bubbles, to meet different usage requirements. Specifically: single inflation with gas provides high sunlight transmission; single inflation with bubbles provides high heat preservation and high reflection; simultaneous inflation with air provides both high sunlight transmission and heat preservation; simultaneous inflation with air and bubbles provides both sun shading and light transmission in summer.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, a building structure includes an airbag 1, wherein the airbag comprises at least two airbags arranged side by side to form a thin film body; The first enclosure and the second enclosure are respectively located at the top and bottom of the film body, and the retractable parts are located at both ends of the film body; The retractable section is also provided between adjacent airbags; The two ends of the first enclosure are respectively connected to the first membrane of the two end capsules in the membrane body, and the two ends of the second enclosure are respectively connected to the third membrane of the two end capsules in the membrane body.

[0046] The upper end of the retractable part between adjacent airbags is used to connect the enclosure part one, and the lower end extends out of the film body for winding and fixing.

[0047] The building structure of this invention arranges several airbags side by side to form a thin film body, which is placed between the first enclosure and the second enclosure for easy fixation to form a whole; at the same time, a take-up and release part is provided, with the two ends connected to the first enclosure and the take-up machine respectively, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the thin film body through the take-up and release action.

[0048] The winding and fixing methods include winding and unwinding using a winding machine, or manually winding and unwinding by setting ground stakes, etc.

[0049] A supporting ventilation tube is provided between the retraction and expansion parts of adjacent airbags.

[0050] A supporting ventilation duct is installed so that when adjacent airbags are closed, the airbags are fixed by the friction between the airbags and the supporting ventilation duct, while ventilation is achieved.

[0051] like Figure 6-7 As shown, it also includes a force-transmitting seal 9, which is located between adjacent airbags 1. The winding and unwinding section includes an upper winding and unwinding section 14 and a lower winding and unwinding section 15. The force-transmitting seal is connected between the upper winding and unwinding section and the lower winding and unwinding section. The upper winding and unwinding section is connected to the enclosing section 1, and the lower winding and unwinding section is used for winding and fixing.

[0052] The force-transmitting seal is connected between adjacent airbags, replacing the intermittent retraction and expansion section, which improves the sealing reliability.

[0053] like Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a force-transmitting seal 9, which is located between adjacent airbags; The force-transmitting seal is used to connect the enclosure part one. The upper end of the take-up and release part is used to connect the force-transmitting seal, and the lower end extends out of the film body for winding and fixing.

[0054] The force-transmitting seal can be perforated to accommodate the enclosure part, thus ensuring reliable positioning.

[0055] Or the force-transmitting seal is used to connect the enclosing part two.

[0056] In application, a force-transmitting sealer is used to connect enclosing part one or enclosing part two, which facilitates sealing of adjacent airbags.

[0057] The force-transmitting seal is connected to the airbag by adhesive.

[0058] Force-transmitting sealers provide regular bonding surfaces for the airbags on both sides, enabling adhesive bonding. When used in building structures such as roofs and walls, they can seal joints and improve airtightness in situations where ventilation is not required (e.g., in winter or in plant factories). They are also suitable for large-span buildings where air pressure is needed for support.

[0059] If the force-transmitting seal is plate-shaped, its cross-section can be circular, square, rectangular, trough-shaped, or other shapes. The force-transmitting seal can also be extended to other applications, such as drainage and ventilation.

[0060] The lower end of the take-up and unwinding section is fixed by a truss beam. Several take-up and unwinding sections are connected to the winding machine by a truss beam (i.e., the intermediate structure) to facilitate overall take-up and unwinding. The truss beam can also be used to suspend loads.

[0061] When applied to roofs or walls, the building structure, through the combined action of enclosure part one, enclosure part two, and the expansion / contraction part, shapes the inflated airbag. As the airbag is inflated, the expansion / contraction parts between adjacent airbags tighten, causing them to compress each other, resulting in a stable and sealed building structure. Through the expansion / contraction part (or in conjunction with a force-transmitting seal), an air (or bubble) layer of a certain thickness is formed.

[0062] like Figure 11-12 As shown, depending on actual needs, air bubbles can be filled into one cavity to expel air from another cavity, or compressed air can be injected into one cavity to expel air bubbles from another cavity 11.

[0063] When the building structure is in use, air bubbles are injected into any cavity to form a stable bubble insulation layer; after sunrise, compressed air can be injected into another cavity to squeeze out the air bubbles in the cavity and obtain good sunlight transmittance.

[0064] Similarly, by filling air bladders with bubbles, one can reflect excessive sunlight during the summer or artificial light sources inside a house during the winter.

[0065] like Figure 13 As shown, when ventilation is required, the space between the first enclosure and the second enclosure is increased by inflating the airbag and releasing the retractable part, thereby opening the gap 12 between the adjacent airbags.

[0066] In this way, the air inside the room can freely exchange with the outside air. At this time, if the airbag is filled with air bubbles, it can reflect some sunlight back to the sky, thus providing a certain degree of shade. Figure 13 The middle arrow represents air circulation.

[0067] An openable, lightweight, thermally insulated, and enhanced solar roof includes a building structure, wherein the thin film body, enclosure one, and enclosure two form a roof panel; It also includes a support structure, which includes a plurality of support columns 10 for supporting the top plate.

[0068] The roof of this invention uses a thin film body, an enclosure part one, and an enclosure part two to form a roof plate, which is supported by a supporting structure, making it easy to assemble and disassemble. At the same time, it meets the requirements of being lightweight and strong.

[0069] like Figure 9 As shown, the support columns are arranged in two rows, with the two rows of support columns located at both ends of the top plate.

[0070] In Example 1, the support columns are set at both ends of the top slab, which is simple in structure and easy to use for large-span roofs.

[0071] like Figure 10As shown, the support columns include at least two rows, each corresponding to an airbag and positioned below the airbag.

[0072] In the second embodiment, the support column is set below the corresponding airbag. In this way, while ensuring the reliability of the roof support, a cavity interlayer with a smaller thickness can be formed, which can reduce the energy consumption for filling and removing air bubbles.

[0073] This invention has fewer parts, making it easy to assemble and disassemble, and provides better insulation. It is especially suitable for temporarily improving the insulation of rural houses in winter, reducing fuel consumption, and improving environmental quality.

[0074] When used in greenhouses, the building structure of this invention offers higher land utilization compared to solar greenhouses; low-cost and highly efficient heat preservation capabilities, eliminating the need for insulation blankets (due to the high thermal resistance of air bubbles); it can both provide shade and improve light utilization (due to the reflection effect of air bubbles); it has better sunlight utilization (due to the immediate removal of air bubbles); and it balances ventilation (through methods such as opening gaps and placing ventilation pipes in the gaps) with support strength (airtightness can be achieved by bonding the film with a force-transmitting sealer; positive pressure can be created by inflating the building, significantly improving the building's load-bearing capacity).

[0075] Regarding the information disclosed in this case, the following points need to be clarified: (1) The accompanying drawings of the embodiments disclosed in this case only involve the structures involved in the embodiments disclosed in this case. Other structures can refer to the general design. (2) Where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features disclosed in this case can be combined with each other to obtain new embodiments; The above are merely specific embodiments disclosed in this case, but the scope of protection of this disclosure is not limited thereto.
