Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of interior decoration, and in particular relates to a floor-to-ceiling window with adjustable brightness. Background Technology

[0002] In modern architectural interior design, indoor lighting is an important focus. In order to improve the utilization rate of natural light and enhance the overall structural appearance of the building, floor-to-ceiling windows or large-area light-transmitting window structures are often used to obtain sufficient indoor lighting.

[0003] While this solution provides ample natural light, it struggles to reduce light intake when the light is too intense. Existing technologies often use curtains and screens for indoor shading, but these methods negatively impact the indoor landscape experience and significantly reduce the visual interaction between indoors and outdoors. In light of this, existing technologies have proposed using tinted glass to control the amount of light entering the room. However, after prolonged use, the color of tinted glass can easily change, making it impossible to restore its completely transparent state. Therefore, a device is needed that can adjust the amount of light entering the room without affecting the glass itself. Utility Model Content

[0039] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0040] like Figures 1-6 As shown: A floor-to-ceiling window with adjustable brightness, comprising:

[0041] A window frame 1, wherein a plurality of window grooves 101 for placing glass are provided in the window frame 1, and a through hole 102 is provided between two adjacent window grooves 101;

[0042] Adjusting component 2, which is provided corresponding to the through hole 102, and sliding channels 103 matching the adjusting component are opened on both sides of the window frame 1. The sliding channels 103 are connected to the through hole 102, and the adjusting component is located in the sliding channel 103.

[0043] A filter film is disposed between two adjacent pieces of glass. One end of the filter film passes through the hole 102 and is fixedly connected to the adjusting member 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to the roller 4.

[0044] The gearbox 3 has its input end fixedly connected to the output end of the drive assembly, and its output end is fixedly connected to the transmission belt and the reel 4 respectively. The end of the transmission belt away from the gearbox 3 is connected to the adjusting member 2.

[0045] The gearbox 3 receives the torsional force of the drive assembly and applies it to the drive roller 4 and the adjusting member 2.

[0050] One end of the adjusting member 2 is fixedly provided with a connecting block 204 corresponding to the transmission belt, and the other end is fixedly provided with a fixing block 205 corresponding to the filter film;

[0051] The connecting block 204 has a connecting hole 207, and the transmission belt is connected to the connecting block 204 through the connecting hole 207; the end of the fixing block 205 away from the adjusting member 2 is bent toward the through hole 102, and the bent part has a fixing hole 206, and the filter film is connected to the fixing block 205 through the fixing hole 206.

[0052] The through holes 102 are respectively provided at the bottom and both sides of the window frame 1. One end of the filter film passes through the through hole 102 located at the bottom of the window frame 1. Connecting ears are provided on both sides of the filter film. The connecting ears pass through the through holes 102 located on both sides of the window frame 1 and are connected to the fixing block 205.

[0053] The sliding channel 103 is fixed with a first steering shaft 104 at one end away from the scroll 4, and a second steering shaft 105 at the other end.

[0054] The transmission belt (e.g.) Figure 6 (As shown by the dashed line) It extends from the adjusting member 2 along the sliding channel 103 to the first steering shaft 104, and then extends in the opposite direction around the first steering shaft 104 to the second steering shaft 105, and then enters the gearbox 3 around the second steering shaft 105.

[0055] The transmission belt movement direction was changed twice by two steering shafts, thus realizing the feeding and unloading of the filter film through a single mechanism, namely gearbox 3.

[0056] In some embodiments, the gearbox 3 can be removed, and the reel 4 and the transmission belt can be driven by two motors respectively. Furthermore, the two steering shafts can be removed, and one motor can be positioned at the end of the sliding channel 103 away from the reel 4 to drive the movement of the transmission belt.

[0057] The scroll 4 is located at the bottom of the window frame 1, and a protective shell 401 is fixed at the bottom of the window frame 1, which wraps around the outside of the scroll 4.

[0058] The gearbox 3 is provided with a drive shaft 301 and two driven shafts 302. Each of the two driven shafts 302 is provided with a synchronous pulley 303, and the two synchronous pulleys 303 are connected by a synchronous belt 304.

[0059] One end of the drive shaft 301 passes through the gearbox 3 and is fixedly connected to the power output end of the drive assembly outside the gearbox 3, while the other end is fixedly provided with a first bevel gear 305.

[0062] In some embodiments, the drive component can be any device or component that can rotate the drive shaft 301.

[0063] Work process:

[0064] When the brightness needs to be adjusted, the motor is turned on. At this time, the floor-to-ceiling window is in a state of full light transmission. The motor drives the drive shaft 301 to rotate, and the drive shaft 301 drives the two driven shafts 302 to rotate, which in turn drives the roller 4 and the adjusting component 2 (the transmission belt is wound up under the rotation of the driven shaft 302. After changing direction through the two steering shafts, it realizes the function of lifting the adjusting component 2 from the bottom of the window frame 1 to the top of the window frame 1). The roller 4 releases the filter film wrapped on the outside. The adjusting component 2 drives the filter film to move until the adjusting component 2 reaches the other end of the sliding channel 103. At this time, the filter film completely covers the space between the two pieces of glass, realizing the filtering effect of the floor-to-ceiling window on the visible light from the outside. There are multiple through holes 102 on the window frame 1. Each filter film corresponds to one through hole 102. Multiple filter films complete multiple light filtering operations.

[0065] When it is necessary to make the floor-to-ceiling window fully transparent, the motor is turned on and rotated in reverse, so that the transmission belt is released and the roller 4 rotates to retract the filter film. At this time, the adjusting part 2 moves towards the bottom of the window frame 1 under the action of the filter film and gravity until the adjusting part 2 returns to its original position. At this time, the filter film is rolled up on the outside of the roller 4 and retracted.

[0066] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
