Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrochromic glass technology, and more specifically, to an electrochromic glass with adjustment function. Background Technology

[0002] New energy vehicles often feature panoramic sunroofs instead of traditional electric sunroofs. Panoramic sunroofs expand the interior space and enhance the passenger experience. Electrochromic glass is commonly used for these sunroofs; compared to traditional sunroof films, it is less prone to blurring, allows for easy adjustment of various colors, and offers over 99% UV protection for each color. Electrochromic glass is typically controlled by a 1.2V-3V voltage, using positive and negative voltages to control ions entering the color-changing layer, achieving a stable and reversible oxidation-reduction reaction. Electrochromism absorbs and changes the color of light at different wavelengths, adjusting the glass's reflectivity, transmittance, and absorptivity to control interior light and heat. Furthermore, electrochromic glass can be used in various other fields, replacing traditional glass components.

[0003] For the aforementioned electrochromic glass structure, existing technologies typically use voltage for uniform adjustment, applying the same voltage to the entire electrochromic glass area. This results in high efficiency but also high energy consumption after prolonged use. Furthermore, it is impossible to adjust the electrochromic glass in different areas according to specific lighting conditions. Additionally, the overall adjustment of the electrochromic glass to achieve the desired color response is slow, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electrochromic glass with adjustable function. This electrochromic glass can adjust the color of the electrochromic glass at different locations in different areas according to the actual light and temperature conditions of different glass areas. It has the advantages of adjustable function and energy saving, and has a fast response speed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An electrochromic glass with adjustable function includes several parallel electrochromic glass pieces. Each electrochromic glass piece is composed of a transparent conductive layer, an electrolyte storage layer, an electrolyte layer, an electrochromic layer, and a transparent conductive layer from top to bottom. The several parallel electrochromic glass pieces are embedded in several hollow areas of an insulating rectangular frame. An adjustable function control box is installed at the middle position of one side of the insulating rectangular frame. The adjustable function control box is externally connected to a control power supply line and a detection power supply line. Sealing strips are bonded to the upper and lower edges of the electrochromic glass pieces. Several through slots are equally spaced on each vertical segment of the insulating rectangular frame, and a thermistor is embedded in each through slot. The lower pins of the thermistors on each vertical segment are connected in series by circuits, and the circuits of adjacent vertical segments are connected in parallel.

[0007] As a further optimization of this solution, each electrochromic glass is equipped with a power supply connector at its upper end. Each power supply connector is connected to the inside of the adjustment function control box via a voltage control line. The power supply line of each electrochromic glass inside the voltage control line is branched and connected to an adapter. The adapter is connected in parallel to a three-terminal voltage regulator. The three-terminal voltage regulator is externally connected to a control power supply line. Each branch of the adapter is connected in series with a linear potentiometer. The adjustment rod of the linear potentiometer is connected to the piston rod of the electronically controlled cylinder. The electronically controlled cylinder is fixed to a connecting plate and connected to a controller via a control line.

[0008] As a further optimization of this solution, the thermistor is connected in series with the capacitor and voltage regulator on the main board inside the control box, and the voltage regulator is connected to an external detection power supply line.

[0009] As a further optimization of this solution, the front and rear ends of both sides of the insulating rectangular frame are provided with positioning rods, which are then installed and fixed to the equipment through slot area.

[0010] As a further optimization of this solution, the motherboard is equipped with a controller, a memory, and a wireless network card.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This invention designs several thermistors connected in parallel and several individual power supply connectors, each corresponding to a piece of electrochromic glass inside an insulated rectangular frame. It detects the light temperature in different areas of the electrochromic glass, and the resistance change signal reflects the temperature of different areas, transmitting the signal to a controller. The controller then controls an electric cylinder to push the adjusting rod of a linear potentiometer to different distances, thereby adjusting the power supply to each adapter branch. This allows for real-time adjustment of the power supply to each electrochromic glass connector, achieving the goal of adjusting the efficacy of different electrochromic glass areas according to the light temperature in different regions. This is relatively energy-efficient, and because the area of ​​each electrochromic glass is small, the electrochromic response speed is faster. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.

[0020] To address the issues that existing electrochromic glass uses a uniform voltage for adjustment, resulting in the same voltage applied to the entire electrochromic glass area, leading to high efficiency but also high energy consumption after prolonged use, and the inability to adjust the electrochromic glass in different areas according to specific lighting conditions, as well as the slow response speed when adjusting the overall color of the electrochromic glass to achieve the desired color, thus affecting the user experience;

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, this application includes several parallel electrochromic glass 1s, each of which is composed of a transparent conductive layer, an electrolyte storage layer, an electrolyte layer, an electrochromic layer and a transparent conductive layer from top to bottom. The several parallel electrochromic glass 1s are embedded in several hollow areas of an insulating rectangular frame 2. An adjustment function control box 3 is installed at the middle position on one side of the insulating rectangular frame 2. The adjustment function control box 3 is externally connected to a control power supply line 3 and a detection power supply line 4.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, sealing strips 6 are bonded to the upper and lower edges of the electrochromic glass 1 to seal and fix the electrochromic glass 1.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, each vertical segment of the insulating rectangular frame 2 is provided with several through slots at equal intervals, and a thermistor 7 is embedded in each through slot. The lower pins of the thermistor 7 on each vertical segment are connected in series through a line 9, and the lines 9 of adjacent vertical segments are connected in parallel.

[0024] Each electrochromic glass 1 has a power supply connector 10 at its upper end, and each power supply connector 10 is connected to the inside of the adjustment function control box 3 through a voltage control line 11.

[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, the power supply line of each electrochromic glass 1 inside the voltage control line 11 is evenly connected to an adapter 18. The adapter 18 is connected in parallel to a three-terminal voltage regulator 17. The three-terminal voltage regulator 17 is externally connected to the control power supply line 5. A linear potentiometer 19 is connected in series on each branch of the adapter 18. The adjusting rod of the linear potentiometer 19 is connected to the piston rod of the electric cylinder 20. The electric cylinder 20 is fixed to the connecting plate 21 and connected to the controller 13 through the control line.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, the thermistor 7 is connected in series with the circuit 9 to regulate the capacitor 15 and voltage regulator 14 on the main board 12 inside the control box 3. The voltage regulator 14 is connected to the external detection power supply line 4. The main board 12 is equipped with a controller 13, a memory and a wireless network card 16.

[0027] Specifically, the front and rear ends of the insulating rectangular frame 2 are equipped with positioning rods 8, which are installed and fixed to the equipment through slot area, such as the sunroof of an electric vehicle, through the positioning rods 8. The power supply line 4 supplies power to several thermistors 7. Several thermistors 7 on the insulating rectangular frame 2 on one side of each electrochromic glass 1 are used to detect the light temperature of the electrochromic glass 1. The resistance change signal of the thermistor 7 reflects the temperature of the electrochromic glass 1 area and transmits the signal to the controller 13. The controller 13 controls the electric cylinder 20 to push the adjustment rod of the linear potentiometer 19 to different distances to adjust the corresponding resistance value of each linear potentiometer 19, thereby adjusting the power supply of each adapter 18 branch, and thus realizing the adjustment of the power supply to the power connector 10 of each electrochromic glass 1. This achieves the purpose of adjusting the effect of different electrochromic glass 1 in real time according to the light temperature of different areas, which is more energy-efficient. Since the area of ​​each electrochromic glass 1 is small, the electrochromic response speed is faster.
