Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to window structure, specifically to a photovoltaic smart window structure. Background Technology
[0002] As global warming becomes increasingly apparent, energy conservation and emission reduction are becoming ever more important. In modern buildings and homes, energy loss through windows can account for up to half of a building's energy consumption. However, most existing window structures have relatively simple functions and do not possess energy-saving and emission-reduction features. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a photovoltaic smart window structure to improve energy utilization.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0021] Example:
[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0023] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0024] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0025] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0026] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact, or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0027] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.
[0028] See Figure 1-6 As shown, the photovoltaic smart window structure provided in this embodiment mainly includes a window frame 1, with a photovoltaic panel installation area below the window frame 1. A photovoltaic panel 3 is installed in this photovoltaic panel installation area, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, both surfaces of the photovoltaic panel 3 are covered with an ETFE (ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer) film 4, which has an IP68 protection level. It can perform stably in humid, dry, and even dusty environments. Protective glass fibers 5 are set on the surface of the ETFE film 4 to prevent the solar panel from bending and being damaged. In this way, the service life of the photovoltaic panel 3 can be extended.
[0029] In addition, an extra-functional energy storage battery (sodium-ion battery) is installed within the wall where the window is located. This battery can store the electricity generated by the photovoltaic panel and can be charged during off-peak hours, then supply power to the user's home during peak hours. The installation location must ensure the wall is moisture-proof and heat-insulated (e.g., with a layer of rock wool in home decoration) to prevent battery overheating and to protect against dust and water. The embedded battery compartment (approximately 20-30cm deep) utilizes the space in the non-load-bearing wall under the windowsill. Through proper planning, the battery can efficiently support the photovoltaic window while seamlessly integrating into the home environment.
[0030] In this way, by installing photovoltaic panels 3 below the window frame 1, the building's aesthetics can be maintained, solar power generation can be achieved, energy utilization efficiency can be improved, and energy conservation and emission reduction can be realized.
[0031] A transparent display screen 6 and an operable window 7 are installed in the window frame 1. That is to say, both the transparent display screen 6 and the conventional operable window 7 are installed in the window frame 1, so that in addition to the conventional window function, it also has a display function. The power required by the transparent display screen 6 can be obtained from the power generated by the photovoltaic panel, and the power generated by the photovoltaic panel can basically meet the power needs of the transparent display screen.
[0032] In one specific embodiment, the transparent display screen 6 comprises, from bottom to top, a glass substrate 61, an organic light-emitting layer 62, a glass 63, and a polarizing plate 64. The glass substrate 61 and the organic light-emitting layer are composite; the organic light-emitting layer 62 is used for display; the glass 63 protects the organic light-emitting layer; and the polarizing plate 15 forms an opaque frosted glass when energized and a transparent glass when de-energized. More specifically, this transparent display screen is an OLED transparent display screen. When the PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) is activated, the OLED automatically increases its brightness and switches to a high-contrast mode (similar to the principle of Kindle's e-ink screen). This allows for applications such as automatically frosting the window during video conferences to serve as a background screen, preventing privacy leaks. The OLED screen also features touch functionality, with a transparent capacitive touch sensor covering its surface. This sensor detects the position and pressure of finger touches, enabling multi-touch functionality and interactive entertainment features.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, a camera 2 is also installed in the window frame 1. By installing the camera 3, long-distance interaction can be achieved, and motion capture of user gestures, body movements, and spatial position can be realized.
[0034] In one specific embodiment, a glass gasket 11 is provided at the bottom of the window frame 1 that contacts the transparent display screen, and glass sealing strips 12 are provided on the two sides that contact the transparent display screen to ensure airtightness.
[0035] The window frame 1 is made of thermally broken aluminum alloy, which has a built-in U-shaped groove 13, meaning that the window frame has a cavity structure, thus facilitating the installation of the window frame. In addition, the window frame 1 is also provided with drainage holes 14 and thermal insulation strips 15. The drainage holes 14 are provided to prevent water from accumulating in the window frame 1.
[0036] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made based on the substance of the content of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
