[0025] The description of the embodiments in this specification should be taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which should form part of the complete specification. In the drawings, the shape or thickness of the embodiments may be exaggerated and may be indicated in a simplified or convenient manner. Furthermore, parts of the various structures in the drawings will be described separately; it is worth noting that elements not shown in the figures or not described in words are in a form known to those skilled in the art.
[0026] The description of the embodiments herein, including any references to direction and orientation, is for ease of description only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. The following description of preferred embodiments involves combinations of features, which may exist independently or in combination; this utility model is not particularly limited to the preferred embodiments. The scope of this utility model is defined by the claims.
[0027] like Figure 1 Figure 2 As shown, this utility model proposes an adjustable shade green plant wall, which is installed on the exterior wall of a building and adapted to the position of the windows of the exterior wall. The adjustable shade green plant wall includes: a fixed steel cable 3, multiple planting units 2 that can slide along the fixed steel cable 3, a water storage drip irrigation system, a lifting drive control component for controlling the raising or lowering of the multiple planting units 2, and a distance adjuster 1 for limiting the distance between two adjacent planting units 2.
[0028] The water storage drip irrigation system includes a water storage tank 8, which is fixed to the exterior wall of the building.
[0029] The fixed steel cable 3 is fixedly installed between the water storage tank 8 and the fixed platform at the bottom of the window;
[0030] The distance adjuster 1 is positioned between two adjacent planting units 2.
[0031] Each planting unit 2 on the exterior facade is planted with greenery, beautifying the building facade while providing shade. Rainwater from the roof enters the water storage tank 8 of the drip irrigation system through the second drainage hole 10 in the parapet wall, flowing down the steel cable to irrigate the greenery in each planting unit 2. The lifting drive control component adjusts the position of the planting unit 2 according to factors such as sunlight, controlling the shading rate of the facade and regulating the natural light intensity of the interior space.
[0032] The distance adjuster 1 includes a sleeve fitted on a fixed steel cable 3 between any two adjacent planting units 2 and a telescopic hinge fixedly connected to multiple planting units 2.
[0033] The distance controller consists of two parts: a sleeve that controls the minimum distance and a telescopic hinge that keeps the planting units 2 evenly spaced. The telescopic hinge has a structure similar to an electric telescopic gate. Alternatively, only the telescopic hinge can be installed to simultaneously control the minimum distance and keep the planting units 2 evenly spaced.
[0034] Specifically, when the lifting drive control component controls the planting unit 2 to rise, the distance between two adjacent planting units 2 will gradually decrease. By setting a sleeve on the fixed steel cable 3, when the distance reaches the size of the sleeve, the distance between two adjacent planting units 2 cannot change, thus avoiding the plants in the planting unit 2 being squeezed and damaged due to the distance being too small.
[0035] Furthermore, when the lifting drive control component controls the planting unit 2 to descend, the distance between two adjacent planting units 2 will gradually increase. At this time, the telescopic hinge can limit the maximum distance to avoid the phenomenon of ineffective shading due to excessive distance.
[0036] The water storage drip irrigation system includes a water storage tank 8, which is fixed to the building's exterior wall. A first water passage 6 is disposed within the water storage tank 8, and a second water passage 10 is disposed above the water storage tank 8, located on the building's exterior wall. The second water passage 10 refers to a through-hole near the roof for collecting rainwater, or it can be a water inlet connected to an indoor water supply pipe.
[0037] The lifting drive control assembly includes: a photosensitive element 5, a motor 9, a steering mechanism 7, a control chip, and a control pull rope 4 for connecting multiple planting units 2 together in series, wherein the control pull rope 4 is fixedly connected to the planting unit 2;
[0038] The photosensitive element 5 is electrically connected to the control chip, and the control chip is electrically connected to the motor 9;
[0039] The control rope 4 is controlled to extend and retract by the motor 9. The motor 9 is a stepper motor, which can better control the lifting and lowering of the planting unit 2.
[0040] In this configuration, each planting unit 2 is equipped with at least two control ropes 4, which are connected to a motor 9 via a steering mechanism 7. Alternatively, four control ropes 4 can be configured, with two control ropes 4 connected to a motor 9 via a steering mechanism 7, and the other two control ropes 4 connected to another motor 9 via another steering mechanism 7. The two motors 9 are controlled by a synchronizer.
[0041] The motor 9 and the steering device 7 are fixed on the bottom surface of the water storage drip irrigation and lifting drive control platform, and the steering device 7 and the motor 9 are located on the same plane.
[0042] The water storage tank 8 is located above the water storage drip irrigation and lifting drive control platform, and the first water passage 6 is located in the middle of the water storage tank 8, penetrating the water storage drip irrigation and lifting drive control platform.
[0043] The water storage drip irrigation and lifting drive control platform is responsible for water storage and controlling the operation of the entire system. Rainwater from the roof enters the water storage tank 8 through the second water passage 10 in the parapet wall, and then flows down through the first water passage 6 on the water storage tank 8, along the fixed steel cable 3 or the water pipe installed along the fixed steel cable 3, and irrigates the green plants in the planting troughs layer by layer through the drip irrigation device. The first water passage 6 can also be set to be controlled by the control chip to control the opening and closing to control the irrigation time and frequency. The photosensitive element 5 installed on the water storage drip irrigation and lifting drive control platform can detect the natural light intensity of the exterior facade of this floor. According to the preset program of the control chip, the position of the planting unit 2 is adjusted by controlling the motor 9 to control the shading rate of the facade and adjust the natural light intensity of the indoor space.
[0044] The planting trough is equipped with a fixing net for securing the plants.
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the motion structure of this utility model includes a motor 9, a fixed steel cable 3, a control rope 4, a direction adjuster 7, a distance adjuster 1, and a planting unit 2. The planting unit 2 moves up and down on the fixed steel cable 3 through a mechanism such as pulleys. The control rope 4 is slidably connected to the bottom planting unit 2. Combined with the direction adjuster 7, it provides upward power to the bottom planting unit 2. The distance adjuster 1 ensures that the spacing between the planting units 2 is equal while controlling the minimum and maximum spacing between the planting units 2 to prevent the planted greenery from being squeezed.
[0046] In operation, this invention works as follows: the photosensitive element 5 monitors the real-time outdoor light intensity and transmits the information to the control chip. The control chip compares the current light intensity with a preset value. When it determines that the sunlight is too weak, it sends a command to the motor 9 to raise the planting unit 2 via the pull rope 4, thereby increasing the light transmittance of the window. When it determines that the sunlight is too strong, it sends a command to the motor 9 to lower the planting unit 2 via the pull rope 4, thereby reducing the light transmittance of the window. The greenery on the planting unit 2 enriches the building's exterior facade and enhances the interior aesthetics, avoiding the oppressive feeling caused by traditional interior louvers.
[0047] This application can achieve an ecological, low-carbon, and green image for the building facade, while using intelligent measures to control the shading rate of the building facade, making the indoor lighting environment more comfortable, reducing solar heat radiation in summer, and reducing building energy consumption.
[0048] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
