Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building facade shading structure technology, and in particular to an adjustable shading structure applicable to building facades. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the increasing demands for building lighting and shading functions, external shading facilities have become an indispensable and important part of building facade design.

[0003] In actual use, the lighting and shading needs of building windows often change dynamically: the functional needs of different regions and different users are significantly different, and the same space may require different lighting environments at different times.

[0004] Existing building exterior shading structures generally only meet basic shading functions. As for the degree of shading and lighting adjustment, they can only be rigidly adjusted to open or close as a whole, with very limited adjustment range. For example, in a typical louver-style shading structure, the individual slats of the louver can usually only be adjusted to open or close as a whole, and the position of the slats cannot be moved or adjusted. As a result, the user's personalized adjustment of the degree of shading and lighting according to their own needs is very limited.

[0005] Therefore, how to design an adjustable shading structure suitable for building facades, taking into account both the basic functions of building facade shading structures and personalized adjustment needs, has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides an adjustable shading structure suitable for building facades, the purpose of which is to improve the degree of personalized adjustment of the shading structure for building facades.

[0007] To achieve the above technical objectives, this utility model provides an adjustable sunshade structure suitable for building facades, which is installed on the outside of the building exterior wall and corresponds to the exterior windows of the building exterior wall. The sunshade structure includes two "U"-shaped metal frames, which are respectively located at the top and bottom of the exterior windows.

[0008] Each of the metal frames is provided with two guide rails, and a number of spherical supports are provided in each pair of upper and lower corresponding guide rails. A sunshade is connected between each pair of spherical supports.

[0009] Several spherical supports within each of the guide rails on one of the metal frames are connected in series by a traction rope.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the traction rope is fixedly connected to one of the spherical supports at the end, and the other end passes through the openings on the remaining spherical supports in sequence and is connected to a hand-cranked take-up reel, which is installed indoors.

[0011] Preferably, the metal frame forms a placement space for placing the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] Due to the above-mentioned structural design, this utility model, through the combination of guide rail, spherical support, traction rope and hand-cranked take-up reel, can adjust the position and angle of each sunshade to a greater extent, thereby satisfying the basic functions of sunshade and lighting while allowing for more personalized adjustment of the degree of sunshade and lighting.

[0025] The following will further explain the concept, specific structure and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of this utility model.

[0026] Example:

[0027] like Figures 1-10 As shown, an adjustable sunshade structure suitable for building facades is set on the outside of the building exterior wall 1 and corresponds to the exterior window of the building exterior wall 1. The sunshade structure includes two "U"-shaped metal frames 2, which are located at the top and bottom of the exterior window respectively.

[0028] Each metal frame 2 is provided with two guide rails 3. Each pair of upper and lower corresponding guide rails 3 is provided with a number of spherical supports 5. Each pair of spherical supports 5 is connected to a sunshade 4. The sunshade 4 and the guide rail 3 are rotatably connected by the spherical supports 5, which allows for more personalized adjustment of the opening and closing degree of each sunshade 4.

[0029] Several spherical supports 5 in each guide rail 3 on one of the metal frames 2 are connected in series by a traction rope 6.

[0030] The main innovation of this utility model is that the sunshade 4 can be independently adjusted in rotation angle and position.

[0031] Specifically, one end of the traction rope 6 is fixedly connected to a spherical support 5 at the end, and the other end passes through the openings on the remaining spherical supports 5 and is connected to a hand-cranked take-up reel 7, which is installed indoors.

[0032] The traction rope 6 forms a loop through the guide rail 3, the spherical support 5, and the hand-cranked take-up reel 7, which can control the specific movement position of the sunshade 4, allowing for more personalized adjustment of the lighting and shading levels according to the user's needs.

[0033] In some embodiments, the metal frame 2 disposed on the outside of the building exterior wall 1 forms an equipment placement space, which can be used to place a fixed outdoor air conditioning unit.

[0034] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0035] Complete sunshade: Rotate the hand-cranked take-up reel 7 to fully extend the traction rope 6, then manually adjust the spacing between each sunshade 4, and finally, move each sunshade 4 so that adjacent sunshades 4 can contact each other when they rotate and close, thus achieving complete sunshade.

[0036] Full lighting: Manually move each sunshade 4 to open all sunshades 4, then turn the hand-cranked take-up reel 7 to wind up the traction rope 6 until all sunshades 4 are gathered together at the end of the guide rail 3.

[0037] Adjustment between shading and lighting states: As needed, rotate the hand-cranked take-up reel 7 to control the length of the extended traction rope 6, and then adjust the position and angle of each sunshade 4.

[0038] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
