Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building curtain walls, and in particular relates to a photovoltaic-green plant composite energy-saving curtain wall for building balconies. Background Technology

[0002] Fourth-generation architecture is an emerging concept in the construction industry, generally referring to architectural forms that deeply integrate green, intelligent, and sustainable concepts into architectural design, construction, and use. It emphasizes the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature, focusing on energy conservation, environmental protection, intelligent management, and user experience, representing the future direction of architectural development. Fourth-generation buildings typically feature large balconies, which not only extend living spaces but also serve as bridges for interaction between people and nature. Balcony designs often incorporate elements such as vertical greening and rooftop gardens, making the building's exterior more ecologically beautiful while providing residents with private outdoor leisure spaces and enhancing their quality of life. Furthermore, fourth-generation building balconies are multifunctional, capable of being used for growing vegetables and flowers, and also for installing solar panels to further achieve energy self-sufficiency.

[0003] When installing solar panels on fourth-generation buildings, the panels are typically integrated into glass curtain walls, which are then fixed to the building's exterior, such as on balconies, to maintain an aesthetically pleasing appearance. However, due to the Earth's rotation and the sun's apparent motion, the sun's position and the direction of sunlight are constantly changing. This means that solar panels fixed to the building's exterior via glass curtain walls receive varying amounts of solar energy at different times, resulting in their power generation efficiency never reaching its optimal level.

[0023] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification.

[0024] Please refer to all the accompanying drawings below. It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., depicted in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effectiveness and purpose of this invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this invention. Furthermore, the terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of this invention.

[0025] The following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only. These embodiments can be combined and are not limited to the content shown in any single embodiment below.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-2This utility model provides a photovoltaic-green plant composite energy-saving curtain wall for building balconies, including: a semi-transparent substrate 1, a mounting base 2, a skirting board 3, a driving device 4, and multiple solar panels 5; the upper side of the semi-transparent substrate 1 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 2, and the lower side of the semi-transparent substrate 1 is rotatably connected to the skirting board 3; multiple solar panels 5 are arranged on the rear side of the semi-transparent substrate 1; the driving device 4 is arranged on the mounting base 2 and is used to drive the semi-transparent substrate 1 to rotate relative to the mounting base 2 and the driving device 4; a first receiving cavity 31 is provided in the skirting board 3, and an energy storage component 32 is provided in the first receiving cavity 31, which is electrically connected to the driving device 4 and the solar panels 5.

[0027] Since the substrate on which the solar panel 5 is mounted is semi-transparent, the solar panel 5 can be well hidden behind the substrate, maintaining the aesthetics of the building's appearance while ensuring that the solar panel 5 can receive sunlight to generate electricity. Optionally, the light transmittance of the semi-transparent substrate 1 is greater than or equal to 35% and less than or equal to 60% to ensure that the solar panel 5 is well hidden while maintaining aesthetics. Preferably, the light transmittance of the semi-transparent substrate 1 is 40%. In this embodiment, the semi-transparent substrate 1 is semi-transparent glass with a light transmittance of 40%, thereby ensuring that both the building's aesthetics and the solar panel 5 generate electricity are considered. In addition, the front side of the semi-transparent substrate 1 can be coated with an anti-reflective coating to ensure that the solar panel 5 can receive more sunlight. The anti-reflective coating can be a metal oxide coating made of materials such as silicon dioxide or titanium dioxide, or a coating made of polymer materials such as polymethyl methacrylate or polydimethylsiloxane. This embodiment does not limit the specific materials used, as long as they can provide anti-reflection.

[0028] Mounting base 2 and skirting board 3 are fixedly installed on the exterior wall of the building. The energy storage component 32 can be a battery, thus being able to store the electrical energy generated by the solar panel 5 and power the drive device 4. Since the energy storage component 32 has a large weight, in this embodiment, the energy storage component 32 is placed in the first receiving cavity 31 of the skirting board 3, so that the energy storage component 32 indirectly contacts the balcony floor, which can reduce the load on the balcony wall and thus ensure the stable operation of the entire system.

[0029] When in use, the drive device 4 can drive the semi-transparent substrate 1 to rotate according to the angle of solar incidence at different times, thereby ensuring that the solar power panel can receive the amount of sunlight, and thus ensuring that the power generation efficiency of the solar power panel 5 can be maximized.

[0030] To conceal the drive unit 4 and maintain the aesthetic appearance of the building, the mounting base 2 is provided with a first mounting cavity 21 for accommodating the drive unit 4. The drive unit 4 includes a motor 41, a turbine 42, and a worm gear 43. The worm gear 43 is connected to the motor 41 and also meshes with the turbine 42. The turbine 42 is connected to the upper side of the semi-transparent substrate 1 via a transmission shaft. The motor 41 is electrically connected to the energy storage device 32. Through the action of the turbine 42 and the worm gear 43, the semi-transparent substrate 1 can be driven to rotate.

[0031] At least one planting trough 6 for planting greenery can also be provided on the semi-transparent substrate 1. The planting trough 6 is filled with peat moss and slow-release fertilizer to promote plant growth. The planting trough 6 is made of a grooved honeycomb PLA substrate. The grooved honeycomb PLA substrate is a new type of material that combines the environmental protection characteristics of PLA material with the performance advantages of honeycomb structure. It has significant advantages in terms of lightweight, mechanical properties, and functional integration, which can reduce the weight of the semi-transparent substrate 1 so that the driving device 4 can drive it to rotate. The porosity of the grooved honeycomb PLA substrate is greater than or equal to 50% and less than or equal to 75%, preferably 65%, so that the planting trough 6 can balance lightweight and provide high mechanical properties to ensure that the plants can grow normally.

[0032] This utility model provides a photovoltaic-green plant composite energy-saving curtain wall for a building balcony, which also includes a water pump 7, a water supply pipe assembly 8, and a sprinkler head 9. The skirting board 3 also has a water storage chamber 33 and a second mounting chamber 34 for installing the water pump 7. The inlet of the water pump 7 is connected to the water storage chamber 33, and the outlet of the water pump 7 is connected to the water supply pipe assembly 8. The end of the water supply pipe assembly 8 away from the water pump 7 is connected to the sprinkler head 9, which is located above the planting trough 6. The water storage chamber 33 has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet can be connected to the drain of the building balcony to collect rainwater dripping onto the balcony during rainy days. The outlet is connected to the inlet pipe of the water pump 7 via a pipe, so that the water pump 7 can draw water from the water storage chamber 33 and spray it into the planting trough 6 through the sprinkler head 9 connected to the water supply pipe assembly 8 to promote plant growth. In this embodiment, the water pump 7 and the water storage chamber 33 are installed on the skirting board 3, which can effectively reduce the load on the balcony wall and facilitate the collection of rainwater on the balcony by the water storage chamber 33.

[0033] Please see Figure 2The water supply pipe assembly 8 may include a first water supply pipe 81, a second water supply pipe 82, and a rotary joint 83. One end of the first water supply pipe 81 is connected to the water pump 7, and the other end is connected to the fixed end of the rotary joint 83. The first water supply pipe 81 is fixedly mounted on the skirting board 3. One end of the second water supply pipe 82 is connected to the nozzle 9, and the other end is connected to the movable end of the rotary joint 83. The rotary joint 83 is a mechanical device for connecting fixed pipes and rotating equipment, which allows relative rotation between the second water supply pipe 82 and the first water supply pipe 81 while water is transmitted through the first water supply pipe 81 and the second water supply pipe 82. In this embodiment, by setting the rotary joint 83, when the driving device 4 drives the semi-transparent substrate 1 to rotate, the second water supply pipe 82 can rotate relative to the first water outlet pipe, thereby ensuring that the water pump 7 can spray water into the planting trough 6 and ensuring that the driving device 4 can drive the semi-transparent substrate 1 to rotate.

[0034] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
