[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0019] See also Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a coated glass with a self-cleaning function, comprising: a base glass layer 2 as a supporting substrate; a photocatalytic layer 4 is arranged above the base glass layer 2, and is used for catalytically decomposing organic matter under the irradiation of ultraviolet light to achieve self-cleaning; a super hydrophilic layer 5 is arranged on the outside of the photocatalytic layer 4; a photochromic layer 6 is arranged on the outside of the super hydrophilic layer 5, and is used for changing transparency under light and automatically adjusting light transmittance.
[0020] It should be noted that the basic glass layer 2 of the utility model serves as the supporting base of the entire structure and carries various functional layers. The basic glass layer 2 uses ordinary float glass or tempered glass, which has good mechanical strength and light transmittance. The photocatalytic layer 4 uses photocatalytic materials to catalytically decompose organic matter, such as dust and pollutants, under ultraviolet light, thereby achieving a self-cleaning function. The super-hydrophilic layer 5 provides super-hydrophilic properties, so that water molecules can form a thin film on the surface instead of droplets, which helps to remove the decomposed pollutants and further enhance the self-cleaning effect. It is formed by chemical or physical coating using silane compounds or other surface modification materials. The photochromic layer 6 changes its transparency under light, especially ultraviolet light, and is used to automatically adjust the light transmittance and reduce the heat and light intensity caused by direct sunlight.
[0021] See also Figure 1 As shown, a bottom film 3 is provided between the base glass layer 2 and the photocatalytic layer 4 to improve the adhesion between the upper layer material and the base glass.
[0022] It should be noted that the bottom film 3 of the utility model includes materials such as silane coupling agent, which is used to improve the bonding strength between the upper film and the base glass. The bottom film serves as an interface layer, effectively promoting the bonding between the upper photocatalytic material and the lower base glass, thereby improving the durability and efficiency of the entire structure.
[0023] See also Figure 1 As shown, a protective layer 7 is disposed on the outer side of the photochromic layer 6 , and the protective layer 7 is a transparent protective film made of silicon dioxide.
[0024] It should be noted that the transparent protective film made of silicon dioxide in the present invention protects the photochromic layer from damage by external factors, such as ultraviolet rays, pollutants and mechanical wear, etc. The protective layer 7 can improve the service life and reliability of the entire device.
[0025] See also Figure 1 As shown, the photocatalytic layer 4 is a titanium dioxide nanofilm.
[0026] It should be noted that the titanium dioxide (TiO2) of the utility model has strong photocatalytic activity under sunlight or ultraviolet light, can decompose organic pollutants and some inorganic substances, and the photocatalytic material can be coated on the base glass layer by sol-gel method, chemical vapor deposition or magnetron sputtering.
[0027] See also Figure 1 As shown, the photochromic layer 6 is made of a photochromic molecular material, and the photochromic molecular material is tungsten oxide.
[0028] It should be noted that the tungsten oxide of the utility model has unique photoelectrochemical properties and can change color under ultraviolet light. Under light conditions, tungsten oxide can insert and extract lithium ions or hydrogen ions in its crystal structure, thereby changing its optical properties. When ions are inserted, the color of tungsten oxide changes from transparent or light color to dark blue or gray, and when ions are extracted, the color is restored, and it can automatically darken under strong light, reduce glare and heat entry, and restore transparency when the light is weakened.
