Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dimming films, and more particularly to an electronically controlled dimming film. Background Technology

[0002] Electro-dimming film is a type of smart glass technology that uses an electric field to alter the transparency of the glass, thereby controlling light. This technology has wide applications in fields such as architecture, automotive, and aerospace, and can improve energy efficiency, protect privacy, and regulate indoor lighting.

[0003] While existing technologies can alter the transparency of glass by changing the intensity of the electric field, the overall color-changing range of the dimming film is relatively limited, thus its functionality is limited. Moreover, it is easily affected by changes in the external environment during long-term use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an electronically controlled dimming film. This invention provides an electronically controlled dimming film that effectively protects the components from the influence of the external environment by setting up protective components, and allows the dimming film to change to different colors by setting up dimming components, thereby effectively improving the overall practicality of the dimming film.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] Some embodiments of this utility model provide an electrically controlled dimming film including a protective component and two dimming components. The two dimming components are disposed inside the protective component. The protective component includes a protective layer, an anti-ultraviolet layer is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner sidewall of the protective layer, and a base layer is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the anti-ultraviolet layer, respectively. Each of the two dimming components includes a conductive layer, an electrode is fixedly connected to both ends of each of the two conductive layers, a color-changing layer is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of each of the two conductive layers, an electrolytic layer is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of each of the two color-changing layers, and the two conductive layers are fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the protective layer.

[0007] In this invention, by using a silicone layer as a protective layer for the protective component and placing the protective layer on the outside of the dimming film, the dimming film can be effectively protected from the influence of the external environment, thereby increasing the overall service life of the dimming film. Furthermore, by setting an anti-ultraviolet layer in the protective layer, the anti-ultraviolet layer can effectively absorb ultraviolet rays, protecting the internal materials from damage by ultraviolet rays. At the same time, the overall transparency of the dimming film is well maintained, increasing the versatility of the dimming film's functions.

[0008] In one embodiment, the two ends of the two base layers are respectively fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the protective layer to effectively fix the base layers.

[0009] In one embodiment, the four electrodes penetrate the inner wall of the protective layer to effectively energize the electrolytic layer, causing the color-changing layer to change color.

[0010] In one embodiment, the two electrolytic layers are respectively fixedly connected to the inner sidewalls of the two conductive layers to effectively fix the electrolytic layers and the conductive layers.

[0011] In one embodiment, each of the two base layers is a polyester layer, which effectively provides mechanical strength and transparency.

[0012] In one embodiment, the UV protection layer is a benzotriazole layer, which can more effectively absorb ultraviolet rays and make the overall transparency of the dimming film higher.

[0013] In one embodiment, the color-changing layer at the top of the substrate is a nitrogen-doped tungsten trioxide layer, and the color-changing layer at the bottom of the substrate is a sulfur-doped tungsten trioxide layer. By setting the color-changing layer in the conductive layer and the electrolytic layer in the color-changing layer, and by applying a voltage to the electrodes at both ends of the conductive layer, the color-changing layer can change color under the action of an electric field. Furthermore, since the two color-changing layers each use two different color-changing materials, the dimming film as a whole can change to different colors, effectively improving the overall practicality of the dimming film.

[0014] In one embodiment, the protective layer is made of silicone, which has good sealing effect and high environmental weather resistance, and can more effectively protect the components from the influence of the external environment, which helps to further extend the overall service life of the dimming film.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the electro-controlled dimming film of this invention, by setting protective components and dimming components, can not only effectively isolate the influence of the external environment, but also present different colors according to actual needs, thus having great practicality.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 The electronically controlled dimming film provided in this embodiment includes a protective component 1 and two dimming components 2, with the two dimming components 2 disposed inside the protective component 1.

[0024] The protective component 1 includes a protective layer 101, an ultraviolet-proof layer 103 fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the protective layer 101, and a base layer 102 fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the ultraviolet-proof layer 103 respectively.

[0025] The two dimming components 2 each include a conductive layer 204, with electrodes 201 fixedly connected to both ends of the two conductive layers 204, color-changing layers 203 fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two conductive layers 204, electrolytic layers 202 fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two color-changing layers 203, and the two conductive layers 204 fixedly connected to the inner walls of the protective layer 101.

[0026] In this embodiment, by setting a protective component 1, a protective layer 101 is set in the protective component 1, and the protective layer 101 is made of silicone. By setting the protective layer 101 on the outside of the dimming film, the entire dimming film can be effectively protected from the influence of the external environment, thereby improving the overall service life of the dimming film.

[0027] Two base layers 102 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the protective layer 101 at both ends. Four electrodes 201 penetrate the inner walls of the protective layer 101. Two electrolytic layers 202 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two conductive layers 204 on both sides. The two base layers 102 are made of polyester, the UV-protective layer 103 is made of benzotriazole, the color-changing layer 203 at the top of the base layer 102 is made of tungsten trioxide (AT), the color-changing layer 203 at the bottom of the base layer 102 is made of tungsten trioxide (TT), and the protective layer 101 is made of silicone. By setting the dimming component 2, and setting the color-changing layer 203 in the conductive layer 204, and setting the electrolytic layer 202 in the color-changing layer 203, by applying voltage to the electrodes 201 at both ends of the conductive layer 204, the color-changing layer 203 can change color under the action of the electric field. The two color-changing layers 203 are made of two different color-changing materials, so that the dimming film as a whole can change to different colors, effectively improving the overall practicality of the dimming film.

[0028] In this embodiment, the thickness of the electronically controlled dimming film can be set to 1-5 mm, preferably 1-3 mm. The thicknesses of the base layer 102, UV-protective layer 103, color-changing layer 203, protective layer 101, conductive layer 204, and electrolytic layer 202 can be set to 100-1000 micrometers, 10-100 micrometers, 5-200 micrometers, 5-200 micrometers, 50-300 micrometers, 30-500 micrometers, and 2-100 micrometers, respectively.

[0029] In this embodiment, by setting a protective component 1, a protective layer 101 is set in the protective component 1. The protective layer 101 is made of silicone. The protective layer 101 is set on the outside of the dimming film for sealing and isolation, which can effectively protect the entire dimming film from the influence of water vapor, corrosive gases and other external environments, thereby improving the overall service life of the dimming film. Furthermore, by setting an anti-ultraviolet layer 103 in the protective layer 101, the anti-ultraviolet layer 103 can effectively absorb ultraviolet rays, protecting the internal materials from damage by ultraviolet rays. At the same time, the overall transparency of the dimming film is well maintained, increasing the versatility of the dimming film's functions. By setting a dimming component 2, a color-changing layer 203 is set in the conductive layer 204, and an electrolytic layer 202 is set in the color-changing layer 203. By applying voltage to the electrodes 201 at both ends of the conductive layer 204, the color-changing layer 203 can change color under the action of an electric field. The two color-changing layers 203 are made of two different color-changing materials, so that the dimming film can change to different colors, effectively improving the overall practicality of the dimming film.
