Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building curtain walls and relates to an energy-saving building curtain wall. Background Technology
[0002] A building curtain wall refers to the non-load-bearing exterior wall cladding of a building. It typically consists of panels (glass, metal, stone, ceramic, etc.) and a supporting structure behind them (aluminum beams and columns, steel structures, glass ribs, etc.). The curtain wall is the building's exterior cladding, non-load-bearing, and hung like a curtain; hence, it is also called a suspended wall. It is a lightweight wall structure with decorative effects commonly used in modern large and high-rise buildings. It is a building envelope structure composed of a structural frame and inlaid panels, which does not bear the load or action of the main structure. Existing high-rise building curtain walls generally use double-glazed glass, installed on corresponding mounting frames. While improving light transmission, this requires the installation of numerous sunshades inside for shading. Installing motorized sunshades requires additional electricity, increasing the building's overall energy consumption. Furthermore, the externally installed sunshades affect the aesthetics of the interior.
[0003] Therefore, this utility model provides an energy-saving building curtain wall to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model discloses an energy-saving building curtain wall. The technical solution adopted is as follows: a fixed frame is included, and glass panels are fixedly mounted on the front and rear sides of the fixed frame. A sunshade component is arranged in the space between the front and rear glass panels. The sunshade component includes pleated curtains arranged opposite each other on the left and right. Through holes are opened in the middle part of the folded edges of the upper and lower ends of the left and right pleated curtains. A thin solar panel is fixedly mounted on each folded surface of the pleated curtain. Slider blocks are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the opposite side of the left and right pleated curtains. The sliders on the upper, lower and left and right sides are respectively fitted onto the two ends of a bidirectional lead rod. The upper and lower bidirectional lead rods pass through the corresponding through holes on both sides. The two ends of the upper and lower bidirectional lead rods are respectively inserted into fixing ears. The upper and lower fixing ears are respectively fixedly installed on the upper and lower inner side walls of the fixed frame. A timing pulley is fixedly mounted on the right end of the upper and lower bidirectional lead rods. A timing belt is mounted on the upper and lower timing pulleys. The left end of the upper bidirectional lead rod is driven by a drive mechanism.
[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a groove is provided in the middle part of the outer side wall of the fixing frame; by providing the groove, it is convenient to install the curtain wall on the corresponding curtain wall mounting frame.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner sidewalls of the fixing frame of the four sides of the glass panel are respectively fixedly provided with slots; by opening the slots, it is convenient to install the front and rear glass panels into the fixing frame.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the sliders on the upper, lower, left, and right sides are respectively slidably attached to the upper and lower inner sidewalls of the fixed frame.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes a first gear fixedly mounted on a lead screw on the right side of the fixed ear on the upper left side, the upper edge of the first gear meshing with the teeth of a second gear, the second gear fixedly mounted on the output shaft of a micro motor, the micro motor being fixedly installed on the upper end of the left inner wall of the fixed frame, and the output shaft of the micro motor passing through the fixed ear on the upper left side.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an IoT controller is also fixedly installed on the upper part of the left side wall of the fixed frame. A photoelectric converter and a rechargeable battery are sequentially installed on the inner wall of the frame below the IoT controller. Ultraviolet sensors are respectively installed in the middle part of the inner wall of the fixed frame at both ends of the left and right gusset curtains. The ultraviolet sensors facilitate the collection of external ultraviolet intensity. The IoT controller facilitates remote control and improves the automation level of the curtain wall. The photoelectric converter converts the solar energy of the thin solar panel into electrical energy and stores it in the rechargeable battery to control the operation of the micro motor.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By installing a pleated curtain in the gap between the front and rear glass panels, a rechargeable battery powers the ultraviolet sensor, photoelectric converter, and IoT controller. The IoT controller drives a micro motor, which, through the mechanical transmission of the second and first gears, drives the upper bidirectional lead screw to rotate. Through the mechanical transmission of the synchronous pulleys and synchronous belts on the right end, the lower bidirectional lead screw rotates synchronously in the same direction. This allows the sliders on the upper, lower, left, and right sides to move towards the sides or the center simultaneously. Based on the signal from the ultraviolet sensor, the left and right pleated curtains open and close automatically. The thin solar panels on the pleated curtains unfold one by one as the curtains open. When providing shading, they convert external solar energy into electrical energy through the photoelectric converter and store it in the rechargeable battery, thus achieving automatic shading without the need for external power replenishment. In addition, when shading is not needed, the left and right pleated curtains can be folded to the left and right sides of the fixed frame, improving aesthetics without affecting light transmission.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] Example 1
[0017] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the energy-saving building curtain wall of this utility model adopts the following technical solution: It includes a fixed frame 1. A groove 11 is formed in the middle of the outer side wall of the fixed frame 1. Glass panels 2 are fixedly mounted on the front and rear sides of the fixed frame 1 via slots 12. A sunshade component 3 is arranged in the space between the front and rear glass panels 2. The sunshade component 3 includes pleated blinds 31 arranged opposite each other. Through holes 311 are formed in the middle of the folded edges at the upper and lower ends of the pleated blinds 31. A thin solar panel 32 is fixedly mounted on each folded surface of the pleated blinds 31. Slider blocks 33 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of opposite sides of the pleated blinds 31. The sliders 33 on the upper, lower, left, and right sides slide against the upper and lower inner side walls of the fixed frame 1. The sliders 33 on the upper, lower, left, and right sides are respectively fitted onto the two ends of a bidirectional screw rod 34. The bidirectional screw rod 34 passes through the corresponding through holes 311 on both sides. The two ends of the bidirectional screw rod 34 are respectively inserted into fixing ears 35. The lower fixing ears 35 are respectively fixedly installed on the upper and lower inner sidewalls of the fixing frame 1. The right ends of the upper and lower bidirectional lead screws 34 are respectively fixedly fitted with synchronous pulleys 36. The upper and lower synchronous pulleys 36 are fitted with synchronous belts 37. The left end of the upper bidirectional lead screw 34 is driven by a drive mechanism 4. The drive mechanism 4 includes a first gear 41 fixedly fitted on the lead screw on the right side of the upper left fixing ear 35. The upper edge of the first gear 41 meshes with the teeth of a second gear 42. The second gear 42 is fixedly fitted on the output shaft of a micro motor 43. The micro motor 43 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the left inner wall of the fixing frame 1. The output shaft of the micro motor 43 passes through the upper left fixing ear 35. An IoT controller 5 is also fixedly installed on the upper part of the left sidewall of the fixing frame 1. A photoelectric converter 6 and a rechargeable battery 7 are sequentially installed on the inner wall of the frame below the IoT controller 5. Ultraviolet sensors 8 are respectively installed in the middle part of the inner wall of the fixing frame on the front side of the left and right ends of the pleated curtains 31.
[0018] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the curtain wall device is clamped onto the corresponding installation frame through the grooves 11 on the outer periphery of the fixing frame 1. The Internet of Things control 5 controls the micro motor 43 to operate based on the signal provided by the ultraviolet sensor 8. The micro motor 43 drives the upper bidirectional lead screw 34 to rotate through mechanical transmission via the second gear 42 and the first gear 41. The upper bidirectional lead screw 43 drives the lower bidirectional lead screw 43 to rotate synchronously in the same direction through mechanical transmission via the synchronous pulley 36 and the synchronous belt 37 at the right end. This causes the left and right sliders 33 mounted on the upper and lower bidirectional lead screws 43 to rotate synchronously. The pleated curtains 31 can be moved towards the center or both sides to provide shade when ultraviolet radiation is strong. During the shading process, the thin solar panels 32 on each fold unfold and convert sunlight passing through the front glass panel 2 into electrical energy, which is stored in the rechargeable battery 7 to supply power to the entire device. This allows for remote control and automatic opening and closing of the pleated curtains 31 for shading without the need for external power supply. When ultraviolet radiation is weak, manual control or remote automatic control based on the signal provided by the ultraviolet sensor 8 can be used to open and close the pleated curtains 31 as needed.
