Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building technology, and in particular to a biomimetic facade air guiding structure. Background Technology

[0002] Urban and architectural spaces enhance their existence and role within the urban public through their interactive characteristics, fulfilling the media attributes required for providing information and disseminating communication. Today, interactivity has become a new urban cultural phenomenon, giving rise to a new aesthetic—interactive aesthetics. The enjoyment derived from the complexities of interactive design far surpasses the geometric beauty of architecture, evoking a greater sense of spatial emotion.

[0003] Climate-adaptive smart building skins for the future face three main challenges: functional optimization, research pathways, and the comprehensive needs of future urban architecture.

[0004] 1) Regarding climate adaptation technology itself (functional optimization problem): Under ideal conditions, can the adjustability of physical or geometric properties further optimize the climate adaptation of smart building skins?

[0005] 2) Regarding the needs of future architecture and urban development (development needs issue): Can building skins with the fundamental goal of adapting to climate characteristics bring new channels for interactive architecture and urban space?

[0006] As we know, architecture can generate behavioral responses to external stimuli, including people and the environment. This interactive response is called dynamic architecture. Based on this concept, it is extended to the building skin. By relying on the building's own micro-movements, the micro-dynamics of the internal environment are realized. Ultimately, the changes in indoor environmental conditions and user experience are completed in a self-regulating manner, which became the starting point of this case design. Utility Model Content

[0007] This application provides a biomimetic facade air guiding structure to solve the technical problem of how glass curtain walls can automatically open and close according to the external ambient temperature. This application also discloses a building employing the aforementioned biomimetic facade air guiding structure.

[0008] The first aspect of this application provides a biomimetic facade airflow guiding structure, comprising:

[0009] Positioning components;

[0010] The frame is connected to the positioning component;

[0011] The glass is fixedly connected to the frame;

[0012] A movable glass panel, which can be opened and closed, is connected to the frame.

[0013] A base connected to the frame, the base being filled with a thermal expansion body;

[0014] A piston is slidably inserted into the base, and the sliding position of the piston is controlled by the volume of the thermal expansion body.

[0015] A connecting rod connects the movable glass to the piston.

[0016] The beneficial effect of the above embodiment is that the position of the piston is adjusted by the temperature change of the thermal expansion body, thereby changing the position of the movable glass, so as to realize the opening or closing function of the movable glass relative to the frame.

[0017] Based on the above embodiments, the embodiments of this application can be further improved as follows:

[0018] In one embodiment of this application: the positioning component includes: a steel frame and a three-pronged mechanism, the three-pronged mechanism being connected to the steel frame, and the frame being mounted on the three-pronged mechanism. The beneficial effect of this step is that the three-pronged mechanism fixes multiple sides of the frame, improving the stability of the frame fixation.

[0019] In one embodiment of this application, it further includes a guiding mechanism disposed between the frame and the movable glass. The beneficial effect of this step is that the guiding mechanism improves the stability of the movable glass movement.

[0020] In one embodiment of this application: the guiding mechanism includes: a guide post and a guide sleeve, the guide post being connected to the frame, the guide sleeve being connected to the back of the movable glass, and the guide sleeve being slidably fitted onto the guide post.

[0021] In one embodiment of this application, it further includes: an elastic stop strip, which is connected to the frame and used to contact the outer frame of the movable glass. The beneficial effect of this step is that the elastic stop strip helps to dissipate pressure when the movable glass retracts.

[0029] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terminology used should be interpreted broadly. For example, a connection can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0030] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the directional terms or positional relationships described are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or based on the orientation or positional relationships in actual use, and are only for the purpose of facilitating the description of the contents of this application and simplifying the description, and are not intended to 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 utility model.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a biomimetic facade air guiding structure includes: a positioning component 1, a frame 2, a fixed glass 3, a movable glass 4, a base 5, a piston 6, and a connecting rod 7. The frame 2 is connected to the positioning component 1, the fixed glass 3 is fixedly connected to the frame 2, the movable glass 4 is closable and connected to the frame 2, the base 5 is connected to the frame 2, the base 5 is filled with a thermal expansion body 8, the piston 6 is slidably inserted into the base 5, and the sliding position of the piston 6 is controlled by the volume of the thermal expansion body 8. The connecting rod 7 connects the movable glass 4 to the piston 6.

[0033] Specifically, frame 2 is a polygonal structure, which can be a regular square, a regular pentagon, a regular hexagon, etc. This embodiment illustrates a regular hexagon. The frame 2 for installing the fixed glass 3 and the frame 2 for installing the movable glass 4 are arranged alternately, illustrating one arrangement method, but it is not limited to the arrangement shown in the figure.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the positioning component 1 includes a steel frame 101 and a three-pronged mechanism. The three-pronged mechanism is connected to the steel frame 101, and the frame 2 is installed on the three-pronged mechanism. The steel frame 101 is connected to a building or the ground. The three-pronged mechanism includes a fixed sleeve 102 and a fork 103. The fixed sleeve 102 is fixedly connected to the steel frame 101, and the fork 103 is bolted to the fixed sleeve 102. The fork 103 has three sides, and the end of each side is bolted to the corresponding side of the frame 2.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the biomimetic facade air guiding structure also includes a guiding mechanism 9, which is disposed between the frame 2 and the movable glass 4. The guiding mechanism 9 improves the stability of the movement of the movable glass 4 and prevents the movable glass 4 from falling off the frame 2.

[0036] Specifically, piston 6 can be a rubber stopper or a sliding column with an outer sealing ring structure. Piston 6 is mainly used to seal the thermal expansion body 8 in the inner cavity of base 5. Base 5 is made of metal, such as iron or copper. To improve the thermal conductivity of base 5, the outer surface of base 5 is black, like an iron block exposed to the sun, where the temperature can reach 60℃ to 90℃. Thermal expansion body 8 can be made of paraffin wax or paraffin-based phase change materials. These are existing products that can be purchased directly. The melting point of ordinary industrial paraffin wax is between 40℃ and 60℃, that is, it begins to soften at 40℃ and completely melts into a liquid at 60℃. Paraffin-based phase change materials have an even lower melting point. During the softening process, paraffin wax already has a certain fluidity and begins to expand in volume, which enables it to drive the piston to move. Piston 6 and connecting rod 7 can be connected by adhesive or bolts. Movable glass 4 and connecting rod 7 can also be connected by adhesive or bolts.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the guiding mechanism 9 includes a guide post 901 and a guide sleeve 902. The guide post 901 is fixedly connected to the frame 2, and the guide sleeve 902 is connected to the back of the movable glass 4. The guide sleeve 902 is slidably fitted onto the guide post 901. The end of the guide post 901 has a limiting protrusion, which limits the guide sleeve 902 to the guide post 901.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the biomimetic facade air guiding structure also includes: an elastic baffle 10, which is connected to the frame 2 and used to contact the outer frame of the movable glass 4. The elastic baffle 10 can be a solid or hollow rubber strip, and the elastic baffle 10 is used to relieve the pressure when the movable glass 4 retracts.

[0039] This type of air guide structure is mainly suitable for areas with relatively mild temperatures (such as areas where the temperature is above 0℃ all year round), and is not suitable for extremely cold areas. The basic installation temperature of this type of air guide structure is 20℃, which means that at 20℃, the outer periphery of the movable glass 4 is just in contact with the elastic baffle 10. When the temperature rises, since the base 5 is made of metal and has good thermal conductivity, the metal heats the thermal expansion body, causing the thermal expansion body to partially melt, thereby increasing the volume of the material in the inner cavity of the base 5, which pushes the piston 6 to move outward. The connecting rod 7 drives the glass to gradually move away from the elastic baffle 10, thereby realizing the opening action of the movable glass 4. When the temperature is below 20℃, the movable glass 4 presses against the elastic baffle 10, and the elastic baffle 10 provides negative movement space for the movable glass 4 (assuming the opening direction of the movable glass 4 is the positive movement direction), thus solving the problem of excessive stress caused by the direct rigid contact between the movable glass 4 and the frame 2.
