Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of greenhouse technology, specifically to a glass installation structure for a glass greenhouse used in facility agriculture. Background Technology
[0002] Greenhouses are widely used for the cultivation or seedling raising of vegetables, flowers, trees and other plants because they have the advantages of regulating environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and light, and can withstand natural disasters such as wind, rain, hail and frost, thus meeting the diverse needs of the market.
[0003] Greenhouses mainly include plastic greenhouses and glass greenhouses. Except for their lower cost, plastic greenhouses are far inferior to glass greenhouses in other aspects. The smooth surface of glass results in low light scattering and more uniform light distribution inside, reducing uneven growth of crops caused by light differences.
[0004] Glass greenhouses are further divided into ordinary glass greenhouses and double-glazed greenhouses. The heat transfer coefficient of double-glazed glass is as low as 2.0-3.0 W / (㎡·K), which is lower than the heat transfer coefficient of single-glazed glass of 5.0 W / (㎡·K). In winter, it can reduce heat loss and reduce heating energy consumption. In summer, with the help of external shading systems (shading rate of 70%-80%) and ventilation equipment, the indoor temperature can be effectively controlled and high temperature stress can be avoided.
[0005] Traditional glass mounting structures involve installing glass between supporting frames. However, these frames lack insulation, and the metal frames, typically high thermal conductivity, easily form thermal bridges, leading to heat loss. This necessitates the use of heating equipment like hot water boilers and heat pumps to maintain temperature in cold regions during winter, with energy costs accounting for 30%-50% of operating costs. A previously filed patent for a glass mounting structure for agricultural greenhouses that reduces energy consumption avoids thermal bridge formation by mounting the glass on the outside of the mounting frame, enhancing the overall insulation of the greenhouse. However, at the edges of the greenhouse, the glass edges align with the center of the mounting frame, creating thermal bridges and further contributing to heat loss. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a glass mounting structure for agricultural greenhouses that improves the overall insulation rate of the greenhouse to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model designs a glass installation structure for a glass greenhouse in facility agriculture, comprising: a greenhouse main frame, a glass mounting frame, a glass fixing component, and thermally broken glass; the glass mounting frame is installed on the outside of the greenhouse main frame; the thermally broken glass is installed on the outside of the glass mounting frame via the glass fixing component, wherein, at the main body of the glass greenhouse, the edge of the thermally broken glass is aligned with the center of the glass mounting frame; at the edge of the glass greenhouse, the thermally broken glass on adjacent sides of the glass greenhouse is connected.
[0007] Preferably, the connection structure of the thermally broken glass on two adjacent sides of the glass greenhouse is as follows: the edge of one thermally broken glass is aligned with the edge of the glass mounting frame, and the edge of the other thermally broken glass extends to the outside of the glass mounting frame, with the extension length matching the thickness of the thermally broken glass, and the edges of the two thermally broken glass pieces are flush.
[0008] Preferably, an encapsulation is provided on the outside of the joint between the thermally broken glass on two adjacent sides of the glass greenhouse, and the encapsulation is fixed to the outside of the joint between the thermally broken glass on two adjacent sides of the glass greenhouse by an adhesive layer.
[0009] Preferably, the two heat-insulating glass panels are connected by a first sealing layer.
[0010] Preferably, in the main body of the glass greenhouse, adjacent heat-insulating glass panes are connected by a second sealing layer.
[0011] Preferably, the main frame of the greenhouse includes: main frame columns and main frame beams; wherein, the main frame beams are installed on the main frame columns; and the glass mounting racks are installed on the outside of the main frame columns or on the outside of the main frame beams.

[0013] Preferably, the glass fixing assembly includes: a first mounting member and a second mounting member; the first mounting member is mounted on the heat-insulating glass; the first mounting member is mounted on the outside of the glass mounting bracket via the second mounting member.
[0014] Compared with the closest existing technology, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] This invention aligns the edge of the thermally broken glass with the center of the glass mounting frame at the main body position, so that the support structure of the glass mounting frame is located at the stress center of the glass edge, avoiding the heat conduction path caused by the traditional frame being directly exposed to the outdoor environment.
