Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic curtain walls, and in particular to a photovoltaic curtain wall frame that integrates solar thin-film batteries. Background Technology
[0002] As modern buildings increasingly demand higher energy efficiency and aesthetics, photovoltaic curtain walls have emerged as a new type of building material. Photovoltaic curtain walls combine solar power generation technology with curtain wall technology, which can generate electricity using solar energy while fulfilling the functions of the building envelope, providing clean energy supplements for the building.
[0003] Traditional photovoltaic (PV) curtain walls are typically composed of materials such as photovoltaic modules, frames, and glass. Among these, the photovoltaic modules are the core component, responsible for converting solar energy into electrical energy. Early PV modules mainly used crystalline silicon solar cells, which, although having high conversion efficiency, were also relatively expensive and complex to install. With the continuous development of technology, thin-film solar cells have gradually been applied to the field of PV curtain walls. They have advantages such as light weight, good flexibility, and low cost, providing new opportunities for the development of PV curtain walls.
[0004] However, in practical applications, traditional photovoltaic curtain walls also have some shortcomings. For example, the installation method of photovoltaic modules is relatively simple, usually directly fixed to the curtain wall frame, which not only affects the overall aesthetics of the curtain wall but may also lead to problems with insecure installation. In addition, photovoltaic modules generate heat during operation, and if heat cannot be dissipated in time, it will affect their power generation efficiency and service life. At the same time, the energy storage and electrical management systems of traditional photovoltaic curtain walls are relatively independent, increasing the complexity and cost of the system.

[0007] A photovoltaic curtain wall frame integrating solar thin-film batteries includes columns and beams; the columns and beams are interlocked to form a frame for installing the photovoltaic curtain wall; characterized in that: solar thin-film batteries are installed on the outer wall surface of the beams; and the interior of the beams is provided with an energy storage module electrically connected to the solar thin-film batteries, as well as a heat dissipation device.
[0008] Furthermore, a sealing groove is provided on the outer wall side of the beam; an installation groove is provided at the bottom of the sealing groove, forming a stepped structure with the sealing groove; the solar thin-film battery is installed in the installation groove by screws, and a cover plate is installed in the sealing groove by glass glue; the cover plate is made of transparent material, which can be glass or acrylic sheet.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer surface of the cover plate is covered with a replaceable electrostatic adsorption film, which is also made of transparent material;

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the mounting groove is provided with several heat dissipation holes that communicate with the interior of the crossbeam;
[0012] Furthermore, a fan is installed on the inner side of the beam; there are two fans, and the airflow directions are opposite, so that the air inside the beam is circulated.
[0013] Furthermore, an inspection plate is detachably installed on the inner wall side of the beam.

[0015] This invention integrates solar thin-film batteries as the frame for photovoltaic modules and a photovoltaic curtain wall, achieving both aesthetic appeal and practicality. Furthermore, sealing and mounting grooves are created on the outer wall side of the beams, forming a stepped structure. The solar thin-film batteries are securely installed within these mounting grooves and sealed with silicone sealant and protected by a transparent cover. This installation method not only makes the photovoltaic modules more stable but also prevents external dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering, improving the lifespan and reliability of the photovoltaic modules. Simultaneously, the electrostatic adsorption film on the outer surface of the cover further maintains the cleanliness of the cover, reducing the impact of dust on sunlight transmittance and thus improving the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic modules.

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The present invention will be further described in detail below:
[0023] This utility model discloses a photovoltaic curtain wall frame integrating solar thin-film batteries, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, a photovoltaic curtain wall frame integrating solar thin-film batteries includes columns 1 and beams 2; the columns 1 and beams 2 are interlocked to form a frame for installing the photovoltaic curtain wall 3; characterized in that: solar thin-film batteries 5 are installed on the outer wall surface of the beams 2; the interior of the beams 2 is provided with an energy storage module 61 electrically connected to the solar thin-film batteries 5, and a heat dissipation device; in this embodiment, the columns 1 and beams 2, as basic structural components, form a stable frame structure through interlocking, providing a foundation for supporting and fixing the photovoltaic curtain wall 3; the solar thin-film batteries 5 are installed on the outer wall surface of the beams 2, utilizing the photovoltaic effect. The system converts sunlight into electrical energy. The energy storage module 61 is electrically connected to the solar thin-film battery 5 to store the electrical energy generated by the solar thin-film battery 5 for later use. The heat dissipation device ensures that the entire system's performance is not affected by heat accumulation during operation. This structural design allows the photovoltaic curtain wall frame to not only provide support and protection like a traditional curtain wall frame but also integrate solar power generation, achieving energy self-sufficiency and improving the functionality and energy efficiency of the curtain wall. Furthermore, placing the energy storage module 61 and heat dissipation device inside the beam 2 makes efficient use of space, resulting in a more compact and aesthetically pleasing system.
[0024] Figure 1-4As shown, a sealing groove 41 is provided on the outer wall side of the beam 2; an installation groove 4 is provided at the bottom of the sealing groove 41, forming a stepped structure with the sealing groove 41; the solar thin-film battery 5 is installed in the installation groove 4 by screws, and a cover plate 42 is installed in the sealing groove 41 by glass glue; the cover plate 42 is made of transparent material, which can be glass or acrylic sheet; in this embodiment, the sealing groove 41 and the installation groove 4 are provided on the outer wall of the beam 2 to form a stepped structure, providing specific space for the installation of the solar thin-film battery 5; the solar thin-film battery 5 is fixed in the installation groove 4 by screws to ensure To ensure battery stability, a transparent cover plate 42 is installed inside the sealing groove 41 using glass glue. This serves two purposes: firstly, it protects the solar thin-film battery 5 from external dust, moisture, and other impurities that could affect its performance; secondly, the transparent cover plate 42 allows sunlight to pass through, enabling the solar thin-film battery 5 to receive sunlight and generate electricity normally. This installation method ensures the secure installation of the solar thin-film battery 5, provides a good protective environment, and extends the battery's lifespan. Furthermore, the use of the transparent cover plate 42 does not affect the battery's absorption of sunlight, ensuring power generation efficiency.
[0025] Figure 1-4 As shown, a replaceable electrostatic adsorption film, also made of transparent material, is attached to the outer surface of the cover plate 42. In this embodiment, the electrostatic adsorption film has the characteristic of electrostatic adsorption and is attached to the cover plate 42 by electrostatic adsorption. Moreover, the electrostatic adsorption film is replaceable and can be easily replaced, reducing maintenance costs.
[0026] Figure 1-4 As shown, a bracket 6 is installed at the bottom inside the crossbeam 2; several energy storage modules 61 are installed at the top of the bracket 6 and are electrically connected to each other; a through hole 51 is opened inside the mounting groove 4, which is connected to the inside of the crossbeam 2, for the wires of the solar thin-film battery 5 to pass through and be electrically connected to the energy storage module 61; in this embodiment, the bracket 6 is installed at the bottom inside the crossbeam 2, providing a platform for supporting and fixing the energy storage module 61; multiple energy storage modules 61 are electrically connected to each other, which can increase the energy storage capacity and meet different power needs; the through hole 51 in the mounting groove 4 provides a channel for the wires of the solar thin-film battery 5, so that the electrical energy generated by the battery can be smoothly transmitted to the energy storage module 61 for storage;

In this embodiment, the solar thin-film battery 5 generates heat during operation. If the heat cannot be dissipated in time, it will affect the performance and lifespan of the battery. The function of the heat dissipation holes 52 is to conduct the heat in the mounting groove 4 to the interior of the crossbeam 2, and then carry away the heat through the airflow inside the crossbeam 2, thereby achieving the purpose of heat dissipation. This reduces the operating temperature of the solar thin-film battery 5, improves the power generation efficiency and lifespan of the battery, and at the same time, it utilizes the space inside the crossbeam 2 for heat dissipation, eliminating the need for additional heat dissipation equipment and reducing costs.
[0028] Figure 1-4 As shown, a fan 7 is installed on the inner side of the beam 2. There are two fans 7 with opposite airflow directions, which circulates the air inside the beam 2. In this embodiment, two fans 7 with opposite airflow directions are installed on the inner side of the beam 2. The operation of the fans 7 causes the air inside the beam 2 to circulate. During the circulation process, the hot air continuously exchanges heat with the outside, thereby dissipating the heat and achieving the effect of heat dissipation. This enhances the air circulation inside the beam 2 and improves the heat dissipation efficiency. When used in conjunction with the heat dissipation holes 52, it can more effectively reduce the temperature of the system, ensure that the solar thin-film battery 5 and the energy storage module 61 work in a suitable temperature environment, and improve the stability and reliability of the entire system.

In this embodiment, the maintenance panel 21 is detachably installed, which allows staff to easily open the maintenance panel 21 and enter the beam 2 to perform maintenance or repairs on the energy storage module 61, heat dissipation device, etc. inside the beam 2. The detachable maintenance panel 21 design provides convenience for system maintenance and repair, reducing maintenance time and costs. Staff can promptly identify and resolve problems in the system, ensuring its normal operation. At the same time, the maintenance panel 21 can be closed when not in use, maintaining the cleanliness and airtightness of the interior of the beam 2.
