Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of construction technology, and more specifically, to a hollow glass structure and a sunroom. Background Technology

[0002] A sunroom, as a living facility, has four glass walls and a solar panel on the top for power. Due to its modular design, it is easy to install, disassemble and move, so it is widely used outdoors for people to use and live in.

[0003] However, since the sunroom is made of large areas of transparent glass on all sides and the top, indoor activities and items are completely exposed to the outside view, lacking basic privacy protection. At the same time, when the lights are turned on at night, the transparent glass will further amplify the visibility inside, posing privacy and security issues. If opaque glass is used, the indoor users' field of vision will be restricted, making it impossible to appreciate or observe the surrounding environment.

[0004] Therefore, the existing glass structure is not very flexible and cannot balance privacy and security with the view of the outside. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a hollow glass structure to solve the problem that the glass structure in the existing technology has poor flexibility and cannot take into account both privacy and security and the view of the outside.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an insulated glass structure, including a glass body, a first guide assembly and a second guide assembly, an automatic roller shutter mechanism, and a one-way visible film; an installation cavity is formed within the glass body; the first guide assembly and the second guide assembly are vertically disposed within the installation cavity, and are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the installation cavity; the automatic roller shutter mechanism is located within the installation cavity, and includes a drive mechanism and a roller; the drive mechanism is fixed to the first guide assembly or the second guide assembly and is used to drive the roller to rotate; the roller is horizontally disposed between the first guide assembly and the second guide assembly, and on one side near the top of the glass body; the one-way visible film is connected to the roller; the drive mechanism is used to drive the roller to rotate, and to cause the one-way visible film to unfold or roll up within the installation cavity.

[0008] Furthermore, the guide assembly includes a side guide rail and a slider disposed within the side guide rail. The slider includes at least two sliders, with the side edge of the one-way visible membrane engaging within the slider and sliding along the side guide rail.

[0009] Furthermore, the automatic roller blind mechanism also includes a transmission mechanism, which connects the drive mechanism and the roller. The drive mechanism drives the transmission mechanism to rotate, and in turn drives the roller to rotate.

[0010] Furthermore, the automatic roller blind mechanism also includes a spring assembly located at one end of the roller and connected to the transmission mechanism, for providing tension when the unidirectional visible film is rolled up.

[0011] Furthermore, the insulated glass also includes a sensing module, which is set inside the glass body. The one-way visible film is provided with a counterweight corresponding to the sensing module, and the sensing module is used to detect the position of the counterweight.

[0012] Furthermore, the sensing modules are located at the top and bottom of the mounting cavity, and the counterweight is located at the bottom of the one-way visible membrane. The sensing modules are used to generate a sensing signal when the counterweight approaches.

[0013] Furthermore, the sensing module is disposed on the side of the first guide component or the second guide component near the one-way visible film.

[0014] Furthermore, a sensing module is mounted on the reel. The sensing module is a rotary encoder used to detect the rotation angle or number of revolutions of the reel.

[0015] Furthermore, the two sides of the insulated glass structure are connected to window frames for fixed support. The side walls of the window frames are provided with a first magnetic strip, and the one-way visible film is provided with a second magnetic strip corresponding to the first magnetic strip.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment are:

[0018] The hollow glass structure provided in this application embodiment has an automatic roller blind structure and a one-way visible film inside the glass body. The one-way visible film can be rolled up or unfolded by the automatic roller blind structure, which can prevent the indoor environment from being observed from the outside, while ensuring that the user inside has a sufficient view of the outside. It has the functions of flexibility and improved privacy and security. At the same time, when the indoor needs sunlight, the one-way visible film can be rolled up by the automatic roller blind mechanism, which has the flexibility and improves the user experience.

[0024] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "inner" and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product is in use. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] See Figure 1 -3. This application provides an insulated glass structure, including a glass body 1, a first guide component 21 and a second guide component 22, an automatic roller shutter mechanism 3 and a one-way visible film 4.

[0027] An installation cavity 11 is formed inside the glass body 1. The glass body 1 can be a double-layered glass structure with a hollow interior forming the installation cavity 11.

[0028] The first guide component 21 and the second guide component 22 are vertically disposed inside the mounting cavity 11, and the first guide component 21 and the second guide component 22 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the mounting cavity 11.

[0029] The automatic roller blind mechanism 3 is located inside the mounting cavity 11. The automatic roller blind mechanism 3 includes a drive mechanism and a roller (not shown in the figure). The drive mechanism is fixedly installed on the first guide assembly 21 or the second guide assembly 22. The drive mechanism is used to drive the roller to rotate. The roller is arranged laterally between the first guide assembly 21 and the second guide assembly 22, and is located on one side close to the top of the glass body 1.

[0030] The one-way visible film 4 is connected to a roller, and the drive mechanism is used to drive the roller to rotate and cause the one-way visible film 4 to unfold or roll up within the mounting cavity 11.

[0031] This embodiment of the application provides privacy by setting a one-way visible film 4 inside the glass body 1, which is different from the transparent glass structure in the prior art. This enhances the user experience. The one-way visible film 4 can be rolled up or unfolded by an automatic roller shutter mechanism 3 to meet the user's needs for both two-way and one-way visibility, thus providing flexibility.

[0032] In one embodiment, the aforementioned unidirectional visible film 4 can be a PET film, a PVC film, or a PU elastic film delayed nanofilm.

[0033] In one embodiment, both the first guide component 21 and the second guide component 22 include a side guide rail 23 and a slider 24 disposed within the side guide rail 23. The slider 24 includes at least two sliders, and the side of the one-way visible film 4 is engaged within the slider 24 and slides along the side guide rail 23.

[0034] Specifically, the left and right sides of the one-way visible membrane 4 are embedded or closely attached to the sliders 24 in the side guide rails 23. The side guide rails 23 can be designed as U-shaped or C-shaped grooves. The sliders 24 are set in the U-shaped or C-shaped grooves. The sliders 24 and the side guide rails 23 can guide the one-way visible membrane 4 to move smoothly in the vertical direction.

[0035] In this embodiment, the sliding bar 24 is used to convert the directional motion of the one-way visible film 4 into a high-precision linear motion, ensuring that the one-way visible film 4 can run along a predetermined trajectory. In addition, by cooperating with the side guide rail 23, stable directional control is provided to ensure that the one-way visible film 4 will not deviate or get stuck during the movement, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the one-way visible film 4 and further enhancing the user experience.

[0036] In one embodiment, the automatic roller shutter mechanism 3 further includes a transmission mechanism and a spring assembly (not shown in the figure). The transmission mechanism connects the drive mechanism and the roller shaft. The drive mechanism drives the transmission mechanism to rotate and drives the roller shaft to rotate.

[0037] In one embodiment, the transmission mechanism may be a gear assembly or a belt assembly for driving the spool to rotate.

[0038] In one embodiment, the automatic roller shutter mechanism 3 further includes a spring assembly (not shown) disposed at one end of the roller and connected to the transmission mechanism for providing tension when the one-way visible film 4 is rolled up.

[0039] The spring assembly is fixed to one end of the spool. When the spool rotates, the spring in the spring assembly is twisted and generates a reverse torque. The reverse torque makes the spool always have a tendency to rotate, thus providing continuous tension for the transmission mechanism.

[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the insulated glass structure also includes a sensing module 5, which is disposed inside the glass body 1. The sensing module 5 is connected to the control system, and the one-way visible film 4 is provided with a counterweight 41 corresponding to the sensing module 5. The sensing module 5 is used to detect the position of the counterweight 41 and send a detection signal or sensing signal to the control system.

[0041] In one embodiment, the sensing module 5 may be disposed at the top and bottom of the mounting cavity 11, and the counterweight 41 is located at the bottom of the one-way visible membrane 4. The sensing module 5 is used to generate a sensing signal when the counterweight 41 approaches.

[0042] Specifically, the sensing module 5 is used to sense the initial and final positions of the counterweight 41. When the one-way visible film 4 is rolled up, the counterweight 41 approaches the top of the mounting cavity 11. At this time, the sensing module 5 at the top generates a first sensing signal and transmits it to the control system. When the one-way visible film 4 is unfolded and its bottom approaches the bottom of the mounting cavity 11, the counterweight 41 moves to the corresponding position. The sensing module 5 at the bottom senses the presence of the counterweight 41, generates a second sensing signal, and transmits it to the control system.

[0043] When the control system sends a winding command and receives a first sensing signal, or sends an unfolding command and receives a second sensing signal, it determines that the one-way visible film 4 has moved to a preset position and controls the drive mechanism to stop working, thereby stopping the one-way visible film 4 at the preset position.

[0044] In this embodiment, the position of the counterweight 41 is sensed by the sensing module 5 to detect whether the one-way visible film 4 has reached the preset position. At the same time, the control system controls the drive mechanism to stop working when the one-way visible film 4 reaches the preset position, so as to ensure that the one-way visible film 4 does not exceed the preset range.

[0045] In another embodiment, mechanical limiting devices, such as blocks or buckles, are provided at the top and bottom of the mounting cavity 11. When the one-way visible film 4 reaches the position of the limiting device, the edge of the one-way visible film 4 will come into contact with the limiting device, thereby preventing the one-way visible film 4 from moving further. The drive mechanism stops working after detecting resistance, ensuring that the movement of the one-way visible film 4 will not exceed the preset range.

[0046] This application provides another implementation method for stopping the movement of the unidirectional visible membrane 4, which can be applied to manual or semi-automatic control systems. It has a simple structure and high stability and reliability.

[0047] In another embodiment, the sensing module 5 can be disposed on the side of the first guide component 21 or the second guide component 22 close to the one-way visible film 4. The sensing module 5 is used to detect the movement position of the one-way visible film 4 in real time and send a detection signal to the control system, so as to facilitate the control system to control it accurately.

[0048] In other embodiments, the sensing module 5 may also be disposed on the reel. The sensing module 5 may be a rotary encoder for detecting the rotation angle or number of revolutions of the reel.

[0049] Specifically, the sensing module 5 detects the rotation angle or number of rotations of the roll and sends a detection signal to the control system. The control system calculates the detection position of the one-way visible film 4 based on the detection signal. By indirectly calculating the detection position of the one-way visible film 4, the sensor setup can be simplified, the structure can be simplified, and the cost can be reduced.

[0050] In one embodiment, the two sides of the insulating glass structure—the left and right sides—are connected to window frames 6 for fixed support. The sidewalls of the window frames 6 are provided with first magnetic strips, and the one-way visible film 4 is provided with second magnetic strips corresponding to the first magnetic strips. The first magnetic strips and the second magnetic strips cooperate to position the one-way visible film 4. When the one-way visible film 4 is unfolded to a preset position, the second magnetic strip is attracted to the first magnetic strip to position the one-way visible film 4.

[0051] In another embodiment, the top and bottom of the insulating glass structure are connected to a window frame 6 for fixed support. The upper and lower edges of the window frame 6 are provided with a first magnetic strip (not shown in the figure), and the one-way visible film 4 is provided with a second magnetic strip (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the first magnetic strip. The first magnetic strip and the second magnetic strip cooperate to position the one-way visible film 4. When the one-way visible film 4 is fully unfolded or rolled up, the second magnetic strip is attracted to the first magnetic strip.

[0052] The width of the first and second magnetic strips is L, which can be adjusted according to the thickness of the one-way visible film 4 and the width of the window frame 6, with 5mm ≤ L ≤ 10mm.

[0053] The thickness of the first and second magnetic strips is H, where 1mm ≤ H ≤ 2mm, to ensure that the first and second magnetic strips can provide sufficient adsorption force without affecting the flexibility of the one-way visible film 4.

[0054] The working process of the automatic roller shutter mechanism 3 will be described in detail below with reference to the above embodiments:

[0055] The working process of rolling up a one-way visible membrane:

[0056] The user sends a winding command through the control system. After receiving the winding command, the control system starts the drive mechanism, which drives the transmission mechanism to rotate the spool in the forward direction. As the spool rotates, the one-way visible film 4 is gradually rolled up from the bottom of the mounting cavity 11 to a position close to the top of the mounting cavity 11. At the same time, the spring assembly connected to the spool provides additional tension to help the one-way visible film 4 be wound up faster and more smoothly, reducing the load on the drive mechanism. The side of the one-way visible film 4 moves smoothly along the guide assembly.

[0057] When the one-way visible film 4 is rolled up and moves the counterweight 41 to the top of the mounting cavity 11, the sensing module 5 located at the top senses the position of the counterweight 41 and transmits the generated first sensing signal to the control system. After receiving the first sensing signal, the control system controls the drive mechanism to stop working. At this time, the one-way visible film 4 is completely rolled up and stops at the top of the mounting cavity 11.

[0058] The working process of unfolding the one-way visible membrane 4:

[0059] The user sends an unfolding command through the control system. After receiving the unfolding command, the control system starts the drive mechanism, which drives the transmission mechanism to rotate the scroll in the opposite direction. As the scroll rotates, the one-way visible film 4 gradually unfolds from the top of the mounting cavity 11 to a position close to the bottom of the mounting cavity 11. At the same time, the spring assembly connected to the scroll provides appropriate resistance during the unfolding of the one-way visible film 4, ensuring that the one-way visible film 4 does not unfold too quickly, helping the one-way visible film 4 to unfold faster and more smoothly, and the side of the one-way visible film 4 moves smoothly along the guide assembly.

[0060] When the end of the one-way visible membrane 4 unfolds and extends to the bottom of the mounting cavity 11, the sensing module 5 located at the bottom senses the position of the counterweight 41 and transmits the generated second sensing signal to the control system. After receiving the second sensing signal, the control system controls the drive mechanism to stop working. At this time, the one-way visible membrane 4 is fully unfolded and stops at the bottom of the mounting cavity 11.

[0061] This application also provides a sunroom, including multiple insulated glass structures and multiple window frames 6, wherein the multiple insulated glass structures are the insulated glass structures in the above embodiments.

[0062] Multiple window frames 6 are secured to the sides of the insulated glass structure to fix the insulated glass structure.

[0063] Multiple hollow glass structures and multiple window frames are connected in sequence and enclosed to form the aforementioned sunroom with an inner cavity.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0065] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0066] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
