Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insulating glass technology, and in particular to an insulating glass with a self-cleaning structure. Background Technology

[0002] Insulating glass is a high-performance sound and heat-insulating glass made by bonding two or more panes of glass to an aluminum alloy frame or warm edge spacer containing a desiccant using a high-strength, airtight composite adhesive.

[0003] A search revealed that utility model publication CN219422711U discloses a fireproof insulated glass with a self-cleaning structure in the field of fireproof insulated glass technology.

[0004] This fire-resistant insulated glass with a self-cleaning structure still has some shortcomings in actual use:

[0005] The cleaning structure of this insulated glass unit keeps the cleaning wipe in contact with the glass during cleaning. When the cleaning wipe moves downwards, it removes dirt from the glass and causes it to accumulate on the bottom frame of the insulated glass. However, when the cleaning wipe moves upwards, it pushes the remaining dirt upwards. At this point, the dirt adheres to the inner wall of the top frame of the glass, increasing the difficulty of cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that in the existing technology, when the cleaning wipe moves upward, it also pushes the residual stains upward, at which point the stains will stick to the inner wall of the top frame of the glass, increasing the difficulty of cleaning. Therefore, this invention proposes a double-glazed glass with a self-cleaning structure.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A self-cleaning insulating glass unit includes a frame, a glass body fixedly installed inside the frame, and a scraper provided on the surface of the glass body.

[0009] It also includes a lifting assembly, which is located inside the frame. The lifting assembly can move the scraper up and down to clean the surface of the glass body.

[0010] It also includes a guide component, which can drive the scraper to either adhere to or move away from one side of the glass body.

[0011] In one possible design, the lifting assembly includes two connecting shafts fixedly connected to both ends of the scraper. Each of the two connecting shafts has a connecting block fixedly connected to one end that is far apart from the other. The frame has two limiting frames, and the connecting blocks slide within the limiting frames. A nut is fixedly connected to one side of one limiting frame, and a slider is fixedly connected to one side of the other limiting frame. A limiting shaft is fixedly installed inside the frame, and the slider slides on the outer wall of the limiting shaft. A lead screw is rotatably connected inside the frame, and a nut is threaded onto the outer wall of the lead screw.

[0012] In one possible design, the guide assembly includes two quadrilateral frames respectively disposed on the inner walls of both sides of the frame. The quadrilateral frame is composed of a first vertical groove, a second inclined groove, a second vertical groove, and a first inclined groove, and the first vertical groove, the second inclined groove, the second vertical groove, and the first inclined groove are connected end to end in sequence. Guide rods are fixedly connected to the sides of the two connecting blocks that are far apart from each other, and the guide rods slide within the quadrilateral frames.

[0013] In one possible design, the inner walls of the two sides of the frame that are far apart from each other are provided with a second limiting frame, a sliding groove and a first limiting frame in sequence, and the second limiting frame, the sliding groove, the first limiting frame and the quadrilateral frame are connected. The connecting shaft passes through the sliding groove, the limiting frame slides in the sliding groove, and the guide rod passes through the first limiting frame and extends into the quadrilateral frame.

[0014] In one possible design, the glass body consists of two glass panes, a sealant, and two self-cleaning glass films, with the sealant bonded between the two glass panes and the two self-cleaning glass films respectively attached to the opposite sides of the two glass panes.

[0015] In one possible design, a drive motor is fixedly installed inside the frame, and the top end of the output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lead screw.

[0016] In this application, the glass body consists of two glass panes and sealant. A self-cleaning glass film is adhered to the sides of the two glass panes that are far apart from each other. This self-cleaning glass film can decompose water molecules and oxygen in the air under light, generating free radicals with strong oxidizing properties. This free radicals then decompose organic matter and stains adhering to the glass surface, achieving a self-cleaning effect. Simultaneously, during cleaning, a drive motor can be activated, causing the lead screw to rotate via the motor's output shaft. The lead screw drives the nut to move up and down, which in turn moves the limiting frame. A connecting block slides inside the limiting frame, and this connecting block is connected to a scraper via a connecting shaft on one side. The other end of the scraper is slidably mounted on the limiting shaft via a slider. The other end of the connecting block slides within a quadrilateral frame via a guide rod, thus causing the connecting block to slide within the limiting frame. When the scraper moves downwards to clean the glass surface, it adheres tightly to the glass surface through the quadrilateral frame. When the scraper moves upwards, it is guided away from the glass surface by the second inclined groove and rises through the second vertical groove, preventing the scraper from carrying dirt up the glass surface and causing it to stick to the inner wall of the top of the frame, making it difficult to clean. When the scraper slides to the top edge of the first inclined groove, it is guided back to the glass surface by the first inclined groove and moves downwards along the first vertical groove to clean again. As the scraper moves downwards, the dirt falls off, resulting in a cleaner finish.

[0017] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the insulating glass with a self-cleaning structure realizes the automatic up and down movement of the scraper through the built-in lifting component and guide component, thereby automatically cleaning the first vertical groove without manual intervention and improving cleaning efficiency;

[0018] In this utility model, the insulating glass with a self-cleaning structure, during the cleaning process, the guide component is guided and limited by the quadrilateral frame, so that the scraper can move away from the glass body when it rises, avoiding bringing the stains to the top of the glass, reducing the adhesion of the stains to the inner wall of the top of the glass frame, and reducing the difficulty of cleaning.

[0019] This invention not only features automatic cleaning, but also achieves efficient and stable self-cleaning through the design of special materials and mechanical structures, while avoiding secondary pollution during the cleaning process. It has high practical value and market prospects. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0028] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1 to 6 A self-cleaning insulated glass unit (IGU) is disclosed, applicable in the field of insulated glass. It includes a frame 1, within which a glass body 16 is fixedly installed. A scraper 2 is provided on the surface of the glass body 16. A lifting assembly, located within the frame 1, is also included. This lifting assembly moves the scraper 2 up and down to clean the surface of the glass body 16. A guide assembly is further included, which moves the scraper 2 to either conform to or away from one side of the glass body 16. The glass body 16 is fixedly installed within the frame 1, and the lifting assembly and guide assembly within the frame 1 are used to move the scraper 2 on one side of the glass body 16 up and down and to guide and limit its movement.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 4The lifting assembly includes two connecting shafts fixedly connected to both ends of the scraper 2. A connecting block 10 is fixedly connected to one end of each connecting shaft, away from each other. Two limiting frames 8 are provided within the frame 1, and the connecting block 10 slides within the limiting frames 8. A nut 9 is fixedly connected to one side of one limiting frame 8, and a slider is fixedly connected to one side of the other limiting frame 8. A limiting shaft 3 is fixedly installed within the frame 1, and the slider slides on the outer wall of the limiting shaft 3. A lead screw 7 is rotatably connected within the frame 1, and the nut 9 is threaded onto the outer wall of the lead screw 7. When the lead screw 7 rotates, the nut 9 moves up and down along the lead screw 7, thereby causing the connecting block 10 to slide within the limiting frames 8, ultimately achieving the up and down movement of the scraper 2.

[0030] Reference Figure 6 The guide assembly includes two quadrilateral frames 12 respectively disposed on the inner walls of both sides of the frame 1. The quadrilateral frame 12 is composed of a first vertical groove 17, a second inclined groove 20, a second vertical groove 18, and a first inclined groove 19, and the first vertical groove 17, the second inclined groove 20, the second vertical groove 18, and the first inclined groove 19 are connected end to end in sequence. Guide rods 11 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two connecting blocks 10, and the guide rods 11 slide within the quadrilateral frame 12. The first vertical groove 17, the second inclined groove 20, the second vertical groove 18, and the first inclined groove 19 are connected end to end in sequence. When the guide rods 11 slide within the quadrilateral frame 12, the movement of the guide rods 11 is limited.

[0031] Reference Figure 5 Each inner wall of the frame 1, on the side furthest from each other, is sequentially provided with a second limiting frame 15, a sliding groove 13, and a first limiting frame 14. The second limiting frame 15, sliding groove 13, first limiting frame 14, and quadrilateral frame 12 are connected. A connecting shaft passes through the sliding groove 13, allowing the limiting frame 8 to slide within it. A guide rod 11 passes through the first limiting frame 14 and extends into the quadrilateral frame 12. This structure ensures coordinated operation and stable connection between the components.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The glass body 16 consists of two glass panes 4, a sealant 5, and two self-cleaning glass films 6. The sealant 5 is bonded between the two glass panes 4, and the two self-cleaning glass films 6 are respectively attached to the opposite sides of the two glass panes 4. The sealant 5 bonded between the two glass panes 4 serves to seal and fix them; the two self-cleaning glass films 6 respectively attached to the opposite sides of the two glass panes 4 give the glass a self-cleaning function.

[0033] Example 2: Reference Figures 2 to 3An improvement on Embodiment 1 is made as follows: a drive motor is fixedly installed inside the frame 1, and the top end of the output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lead screw 7. When the drive motor starts, it drives the lead screw 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the lifting assembly through the nut 9, thereby realizing the up-and-down movement and wiping function of the scraper 2.

[0034] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principle and wiring method of the drive motor are commonplace and are all conventional methods or common knowledge. Therefore, they will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0035] The accompanying drawings in this application are for illustrative purposes only. The dimensions and shapes of the components shown are not actual limitations but are merely schematic representations. In actual implementation, the components can be reasonably configured and adjusted according to specific needs and actual conditions.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
