Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic systems, and in particular to an aluminum plate type BIPV curtain wall used for the exterior facades of industrial and commercial buildings. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the world economy, my country has proposed the development goals of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality", and solar photovoltaic new energy has developed by leaps and bounds, and more and more distributed photovoltaic projects are booming in the direction of multiple scenarios. As we all know, photovoltaic building integration (BIPV Building Integrated PV, PV is Photovoltaic) is a technology that integrates solar power generation (photovoltaic) products into buildings. Photovoltaic building integration can be divided into two categories: one is the combination of photovoltaic arrays and buildings. The other is the integration of photovoltaic arrays and buildings. Among the existing distributed BIPV products, they are mainly distributed on roofs and ancillary structures, and are mostly used for color steel roofs. With the market demand, the public's aesthetic appreciation of the appearance of buildings has improved, and the decorative effect of the exterior walls of buildings has become higher and higher. The conventional double-layer tempered glass laminated photovoltaic products used in the market are costly and uneconomical; the production cycle is relatively long, and its connection with the building is equivalent to the glass curtain wall method, and the cost is high.

[0003] There are also double-layer hollow tempered glass film modules encapsulated by aluminum plates. The junction box is located on the side of the module. The production is complicated, the glass is thick and heavy, and a large structure is required to support it. The production cycle is also long and the cost is high. During the use of photovoltaic modules encapsulated by all aluminum plates, the heat generated by power generation is dissipated slowly, which will affect the power generation efficiency to a certain extent.

[0004] Conventional products only reflect the properties of glass buildings and do not integrate the aesthetics of architectural aluminum curtain walls; and most of them are thin-film power generation. Traditional BAPV photovoltaic modules can no longer meet various needs. Photovoltaic integrated products show diverse needs, comprehensive functions, and highly aesthetic appeal.

[0005] At present, there is a huge stock of aluminum plate buildings in society, which involve a wide range of industries and have a good foundation for adding photovoltaic green energy. It can effectively solve my country’s energy crisis, promote the healthy development of building photovoltaics, and take a solid step towards achieving the development goals of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality".

[0006] Aluminum panels are often used for the exterior decoration of industrial and commercial buildings, which have high safety level requirements. Conventional integrated building products on the market are often made of a combination of thin film and hollow tempered glass with frames, which cannot perfectly meet the needs of aluminum panel appearance, the stability of photovoltaic power generation, and the characteristics of rapid production and installation and lightweight. Thin-film photovoltaic modules are expensive and have lower conversion efficiency than crystalline silicon modules. The AC cables of photovoltaic modules are hidden in the glue seams, and the construction quality is harsh and unsightly. Utility Model Content

[0038] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides an aluminum plate type BIPV curtain wall, including an aluminum plate support frame 1, a crystalline silicon double-glass photovoltaic panel 2, a curtain wall main keel 3 and a curtain wall secondary keel 4. The internal area surrounded by the aluminum plate support frame 1 is a curtain wall area 11. The curtain wall area 11 is formed with a hollow structure. The interior and edge positions of the curtain wall area 11 are coated with photovoltaic structural adhesive 5. The crystalline silicon double-glass photovoltaic panel 2 is pressed and fixed on the curtain wall area 11 by the photovoltaic structural adhesive 5. A threading hole 12 is provided on the side of the aluminum plate support frame 1 for passing a photovoltaic DC cable 20, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a threading hole 12 is provided in the middle of each of the left and right side surfaces, and two threading holes 12 are provided at intervals on the upper and lower side surfaces, which are also used to pass DC cables; the main curtain wall keel 3 and the secondary curtain wall keel 4 are connected vertically and horizontally to form multiple areas for placing the aluminum plate support frame 1, from Figure 4 It can be seen that the main curtain wall purlins 3 and the secondary curtain wall purlins 4 are crisscrossed and connected to form a plurality of square grid areas distributed in an array. The square grid areas are used to install the aluminum plate support frame 1 with the crystalline silicon double-glass photovoltaic panel 2. The aluminum plate support frame 1 is preferably connected to the main curtain wall purlins 3 and the secondary curtain wall purlins 4 through aluminum alloy angle codes 7.

[0040] like Figure 2As shown, the aluminum plate supporting frame 1 used here is preferably a box-shaped structure with a central cavity formed by folding aluminum plates. The surrounding outer side of the aluminum plate supporting frame 1 is closed by a vertical plate, and the threading holes are formed on the vertical plate on the outer side. A lining plate 6 is provided in the curtain wall area 11 surrounded by the aluminum plate supporting frame 1, and a hollow structure a is formed on the lining plate 6. The interconnected threading holes 12 are provided on the two opposite outer sides of the aluminum plate supporting frame 1, and the hollow structure a on the lining plate 6 is a plurality of cross structures. The use of the hollow structure and the hollow aluminum plate supporting frame greatly reduces the weight of the curtain wall and saves costs. The utility model not only reflects the architectural and structural properties of aluminum plates in building exterior decoration, but also realizes the power generation properties. Through the threading holes on the outer surface of the aluminum plate support frame and the hollow structure in the curtain wall area, the crystalline silicon double-glass photovoltaic panel can be perfectly integrated into the building decoration aluminum plate; through the photovoltaic structural adhesive, the aluminum plate and the crystalline silicon double-glass photovoltaic panel are combined into a whole, and the aluminum plate and the crystalline silicon double-glass photovoltaic panel support each other and exert structural performance. Compared with the traditional laminated hollow components, the weight is light, the production cost is simple, and it is conducive to reducing the structural load and saving the overall cost. At the same time, it can enrich the diversity of BIPV products, greatly improve the scenes of photovoltaic panel laying and the comprehensive conversion efficiency of light energy, and enable crystalline silicon components to be used in building exterior decoration projects.

[0041] The crystalline silicon double-glass photovoltaic panel 2 used in the utility model is a double-layer glass without a frame. The monocrystalline silicon component has the characteristics of high conversion efficiency and low cost, so as to meet the requirements of building fire prevention, lightning protection, hail protection, etc., so that it can form a reliable whole with the aluminum plate and meet the performance requirements of various aspects of the building; the photovoltaic structural adhesive used is a two-component product, which has at least 25 years of adhesion, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, high strength, aging resistance, stable and reliable special structural adhesive. The main keel and secondary keel of the curtain wall used are both light steel keels, and insulation measures are set between the light steel keel and the aluminum plate and the main structure to avoid the formation of high-level electric difference corrosion machine materials.

[0042] The aluminum plate support frame is based on the building appearance separation seam and the size of the crystalline silicon module. The appearance size of the aluminum plate support frame is determined and pre-stamped in the factory. The frame fold is ≥40mm to ensure that there is enough space to place the photovoltaic module diode junction box. The lining plate 6 in the curtain wall area 11 inside the aluminum plate support frame 1 is punched into a cross-shaped hollow structure, and the lining plate 6 is 7mm concave than the outer surface; 2 threading holes are set on the upper and lower parts of the aluminum plate support frame, one on the left and one on the right, and the threading hole shape is square (75mm×30mm); then the aluminum plate support frame is anti-corrosion treated and the photovoltaic structural adhesive is fully coated on the cross lining plate to form a combination of the crystalline silicon double-glass photovoltaic panel 2 and the aluminum plate support frame 1. After the overall panel is combined, it has a certain strength, rigidity, stability, and sealing. Finally, aluminum alloy 7 angle codes are set around the aluminum plate support frame, with an interval of ≤350mm.

[0043] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a lightning protection device 8 is also provided on the aluminum plate BIPV curtain wall, which includes: a voltage-equalizing ring 81, a fixing plate 82 and a flexible conductive copper cable 83. The voltage-equalizing ring 81 passes through each curtain wall main keel 3 from the top and bottom respectively, and is connected after being extended from the left and right sides to form a closed loop. The voltage-equalizing ring 81 is fixed to each curtain wall main keel 3 through the fixing plate 82. The upper curtain wall main keel 3 and the lower curtain wall main keel 3 are connected by the steel sleeve core 9, and then the two are connected by the flexible conductive copper cable 83. The current national standard for lightning protection devices stipulates that round steel with a diameter of 10mm is used as a voltage-equalizing ring, and the connecting plates at both ends of the lightning protection flexible conductive copper cable 83 are effectively connected to the aluminum plate and the lightning protection line 50. The upper and lower span distances and the left and right span distances of the voltage-equalizing ring 81 are preferably ≤10m.

[0044] like Figure 4 In the area of ​​≤10m×10m formed, a round steel equalizing ring with a diameter of 10mm is set to pass through the top, bottom, left and right. The equalizing ring is fixed to the main keel of the curtain wall through a stainless steel fixing plate. Then the upper and lower curtain wall main keels 3 are connected through the steel sleeve core 9, and then the pathway is connected through a flexible conductive copper cable. Finally, the lightning protection device is reliably connected to the building lightning rod and the lightning protection down conductor to form an effective pathway.

[0045] The thickness of the aluminum plate support frame 1 is ≥4mm. It is installed according to the requirements of the building partition design. The DC cable wiring plug 30 is reserved for the installation electrical series design. The aluminum plate support frame 1 is connected to the primary and secondary keels of the curtain wall through the aluminum alloy angle code 7. The separation gap is 20mm. After the curtain wall is installed, the cable 20 is connected in series. Only the DC cable 20 and the wiring plug 30 need to be connected through Figure 3 The 75mm×30mm threading hole 12 shown is hidden inside the aluminum curtain wall; it is filled with weather-resistant sealant and foam rod 40, sealed and covered with sealant, and the glue seam can reserve traces of wiring position identification. The wires are hidden and routed through the threading hole, and the back panel aluminum strip 60 is used to hide the DC cables 20, so as to achieve a beautiful effect on the inside.

[0046] In this utility model, the weight of the product is greatly reduced due to the hollowing out of the aluminum plate support frame and the combination of 5mm crystalline silicon double-glass photovoltaic panels. The reduction of load can effectively save the cost of the keel. The customized unique threading hole can set the junction box in a conventional position (under the board) without having to set it separately on the side. The exposed AC cables are fixed and beautified through the back plate aluminum strip, such as Figure 6 shown.

[0047] Anything not described in the present invention is applicable to the prior art.

[0048] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
