Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a photothermal device, and more particularly to a light-transmitting photovoltaic photothermal device. Background Technology
[0002] In high-speed rail stations, airports, and the rooftops of residential buildings, translucent materials such as glass are often used for construction to meet aesthetic design and lighting requirements. However, in the high temperatures of summer, sunlight causes the building's interior temperature to rise. Translucent materials prevent long-wave heat radiation from reaching the interior, creating a greenhouse effect and reducing comfort levels. Current technologies often employ shading mechanisms to reduce the intensity of solar radiation reaching the interior, or utilize forced ventilation and cooling technologies to maintain comfort levels.
[0003] In large shopping malls and the top floors of high-rise buildings, the demand for natural light often results in a large amount of solar energy not being effectively utilized. While meeting the demand for natural light, some solar energy is used to isolate the building from the sun through shading, and some solar energy contributes to the greenhouse effect. In order to meet the comfort requirements, cooling equipment is also needed to regulate the indoor temperature, resulting in a large amount of energy waste.

[0025] 7 Junction box 8 Bonding layer Detailed Implementation
[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0027] like Figure 1 The novel light-transmitting photovoltaic (PV) thermal energy device includes a PV frame, unique in that it incorporates a light-transmitting insulating backplate within the frame to allow light to pass through and conduct solar heat. A PV cell string is mounted on the upper layer of the backplate via a bonding layer, facilitating the subsequent conversion of sunlight into electricity. A heat exchanger is installed on the lower layer of the backplate, further converting sunlight into heat. Specifically, the heat exchanger includes a supporting shell containing several spaced fins that form a heat exchange cavity. The fins have flow-guiding holes to facilitate the flow of the heat exchange medium and achieve effective heat exchange. For seamless integration with existing heat exchange piping, the supporting shell is equipped with an inlet assembly at the front end and an outlet assembly at the rear end of the heat exchange cavity. During implementation, a junction box is installed on the outer side of the PV frame, electrically connected to the PV cell string for connection to the photovoltaic conversion system.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the light-transmitting insulating back panel is a transparent epoxy resin board, with an insulating protective layer coated on its sides. This insulating protective layer is a silicone layer. Thus, while meeting the insulation requirements, it offers excellent light transmission and heat conduction, allowing sunlight to be directed downwards. For roof installations, this can supplement indoor lighting. Simultaneously, it can also transfer heat from sunlight into the room, providing auxiliary heating to meet winter heating needs.
[0029] Looking further, both the upper and lower layers of the light-transmitting insulating backsheet have several adhesive grooves containing adhesive medium. This facilitates stable bonding of the various components. Simultaneously, the bonding layer used is a thermosetting EVA sheet layer. This allows for appropriate elevation and provides a certain degree of cushioning. It also creates an insulating gap between the light-transmitting insulating backsheet and the photovoltaic cell string, improving the heat exchange efficiency of the subsequent heat exchanger.
[0030] In practical implementation, considering the installation requirements of certain rooftop skylight integration methods, a support frame can be distributed on the outside of the heat exchanger, connected to the photovoltaic frame. This allows the support frame to be directly embedded into the existing skylight mounting track, achieving stable installation.
[0031] Looking further, both the inlet and outlet assemblies include bamboo-joint heads, on which flow control valves are installed. This allows for a stable and leak-proof connection with the heat exchange pipeline. Simultaneously, flow control can be implemented as needed, facilitating installation and maintenance to control the flow of the medium.
[0032] Meanwhile, the photovoltaic frame used in this invention includes a support base, on which a support plate extends vertically. The top of the support plate has snap-fit edges that contact the edges of the photovoltaic cell string. This provides stable lateral bonding and restraint for each component, resulting in better integration and a stable stacked structural layout. Furthermore, considering positioning assistance during assembly, an adhesive layer can be applied to the inner side of the support plate.
[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0034] Once installed, this utility model allows sunlight to penetrate the room to the maximum extent possible during the day, providing supplementary daytime lighting. Simultaneously, the sun's heat energy can also reach the room through this utility model, providing supplementary heating. In summer, the heat exchanger operates, converting the heat energy provided by thermal radiation into thermoelectricity. Therefore, the sunlight entering the room does not feel scorching; it only serves as supplementary lighting.
[0035] As can be seen from the above textual description and the accompanying drawings, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0036] 1. It adopts a light-transmitting insulating back panel, which can introduce sunlight to achieve daytime lighting assistance, effectively utilize sunlight, and reduce indoor lighting consumption.
[0037] 2. It can draw in solar thermal energy on a daily basis to regulate indoor temperature. In high-temperature environments, the heat exchanger can be activated to dissipate heat while storing thermal energy or performing thermoelectric conversion.
[0038] 3. It does not affect normal photovoltaic power generation and can be integrated into conventional photovoltaic power generation systems.
[0039] 4. The layered layout reduces space occupation and meets the installation requirements of the building's top floor.
[0040] Furthermore, the directions or positional relationships described in this utility model are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the purpose of facilitating the description of this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or structure referred to must have a specific orientation, or to operate in a specific orientation.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
