[0002] Traditional building curtain walls are primarily used for the decoration and protection of building facades, but their limited functionality fails to meet the modern architectural demands for energy conservation, environmental protection, and ecological aesthetics. While some existing curtain wall technologies attempt to incorporate green space planting, the following problems still exist:

[0003] 1. The green planting structure on the curtain wall lacks stable support, making it prone to detachment or damage, requiring additional reinforcement of the building structure and increasing costs. 2. The poorly designed irrigation system for the green plants leads to water waste. Furthermore, in the event of a water outage, the plants risk withering within three days, resulting in high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0036] Example 1

[0037] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the present invention proposes a green and energy-saving building curtain wall that can be planted with greenery, including a support frame 1 and an outer wall 2. The support frame 1 includes two horizontally distributed horizontal beams 11 and two vertically distributed vertical beams 12. The horizontal beams 11 and vertical beams 12 intersect to form a grid structure. The support frame 1 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy material, which is lightweight and has a stable structure, ensuring the stability and durability of the curtain wall. In addition, the support frame 1 is modularly designed, which facilitates installation and maintenance.

[0038] The outer wall 2 is located outside the supporting frame 1. The upper and lower sides of the outer wall 2 are respectively provided with matching protruding ridges 21 and grooves 22. One end of the outer wall 2 is fixed with a mounting post 23, and the other end is provided with a limiting groove 24 matching the mounting post 23. An inner fixing hole 201 is provided on the mounting post 23, and an outer fixing hole 202 communicating with the limiting groove 24 is provided on the surface of the outer wall 2. A metal anchor 203 for fixing is provided between the outer fixing hole 202 and the inner fixing hole 201. Horizontally adjacent outer wall 2 sections are spliced ​​together through the mounting post 23 and the limiting groove 24, and vertically adjacent outer wall 2 sections are spliced ​​together through the protruding ridges 21 and the grooves 22, facilitating installation and fixing.

[0039] When using this structure, embedded parts can be set on the wall to be installed, and the metal anchors 203 can be used to connect and fix it to the building wall to achieve a better fixing effect and stability.

[0040] refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment also includes a fixing plate 3 fixed to the surface of the outer wall 2 and a greening component 4 disposed on the fixing plate 3. The greening component 4 includes a planting tube 41 and a nozzle. An irrigation hole 31 is provided on the fixing plate 3. The nozzle is installed at the irrigation hole 31. The other end of the nozzle is connected to a water supply. The planting tube 41 has a cylindrical structure with an open top and the opening is inclined upward. An inclined mounting surface 401 is formed at the bottom of the planting tube 41, and it is fixed to the outside of the nozzle through the inclined mounting surface 401.

[0041] In addition, the installation of the external integrated fixing plate 3 on the exterior wall 2 forms a double-layer structure, which improves the thermal insulation performance of the curtain wall.

[0042] As a further example:

[0043] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of a green plant component 4 is provided. Irrigation holes 31 are provided on the fixing plate 3, and each irrigation hole 31 is provided with a nozzle 42. The number and shape of the irrigation holes 31 and nozzles 42 can be designed as needed. In the figure, the irrigation holes 31 are arranged in three groups at the top and two groups at the bottom. Each group of planting cylinders 41 provides two irrigation holes 31 and nozzles 42. The five groups of planting cylinders 41 form a "five-ring" combination diagram, which increases the aesthetics of the green plant arrangement.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the nozzle is set perpendicular to the surface of the fixed plate 3. The fixed plate 3 has a partition 32 inside. The front end of the partition 32 is connected to the irrigation hole 31. The rear end of the partition 32 is provided with a water supply main pipe 33 connected to the nozzle 42.

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, the inclined mounting surface 401 of the planting cylinder 41 is provided with an assembly hole 402, which is matched with the nozzle. A sealing ring is provided between the assembly hole 402 and the nozzle to prevent leakage.

[0046] When installing the fixing plate 3, the fixing plate 3 is fixed to the center of the outer wall 2, and the outer periphery of the fixing plate 3 is located between the outer fixing holes 202 on both sides, without affecting the installation and fixing work of the adjacent outer wall 2. A water supply hole 34 is opened at the center of the fixing plate 3, and a water supply pipe 35 is installed at the water supply hole 34 and connected to the main water supply pipe 33, so that water can be supplied from the indoor to the green plant component 4 through the water supply pipe 35.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] To address the occasional water and power outages, the green plant assembly 4 also includes a drip irrigation cylinder 43. The drip irrigation cylinder 43 is fixed to the fixing plate 3 above the planting cylinder 41. The top of the drip irrigation cylinder 43 is open and connected to the planting cylinder 41 below it, and an auxiliary water supply pipe 44 is provided to deliver backup water using gravity.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, five sets of drip irrigation cylinders 43 can be installed on the top of the fixed plate 3. The drip irrigation cylinders 43 have the same shape as the planting cylinders 41 and are all open at the top. They can collect and store rainwater when it rains. The auxiliary water supply pipe 44 is set according to the actual length.

[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, the top of the planting cylinder 41 is also provided with an auxiliary hole 403 that matches the auxiliary water supply pipe 44. Water in the drip irrigation cylinder 43 enters the planting cylinder 41 under the action of gravity through the auxiliary water supply pipe 44. The auxiliary water supply pipe 44 is made of a flexible and durable pipe, such as a silicone pipe or a PVC pipe, with a moderate diameter to ensure smooth water flow without over-irrigating due to excessive flow. In use, the bottom of the auxiliary water supply pipe 44 is connected to the flowerpot.

[0051] When using this structure, by setting up the green plant component 4, based on the sprinkler water supply, a drip irrigation cylinder 43 is added at the top of the planting cylinder 41 to provide a backup water source by collecting rainwater, so as to avoid the situation where the green plants dry out due to water or power outages.

[0052] In a further embodiment:

[0053] A capillary tube (such as a cotton rope or fibrous material) is connected to the end of the auxiliary water supply pipe 44 (i.e., the end located inside the flowerpot) to transport water from the water storage container to the flowerpot using capillary action. When the soil is dry, capillary action is enhanced, automatically absorbing water; when the soil is wet, capillary action is weakened, reducing water supply.

[0054] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
