Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building curtain wall technology, and more specifically, to a rotatable building curtain wall. Background Technology
[0002] A building curtain wall is an exterior wall cladding component suspended outside the structural frame of a building. It is usually composed of panels (glass, metal panels, stone panels, ceramic panels, etc.) and supporting structures (aluminum beams and columns, steel structures, glass ribs, etc.). It has advantages such as novel and beautiful appearance, fast construction speed, high construction efficiency, good energy-saving effect, and convenient updating and maintenance.
[0003] In related technologies, some building curtain walls are structures independent of the exterior walls. These curtain walls primarily serve decorative and functional purposes. To improve flexibility, these curtain walls can rotate at a certain angle relative to the exterior walls to change their orientation. Currently, the orientation of the curtain wall can only be adjusted as a whole, resulting in limited flexibility. Furthermore, when there are many curtain walls, the torque required for orientation adjustment is substantial, placing high demands on equipment performance. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a rotatable building curtain wall to solve the problems of low flexibility, large torque, and high performance requirements of curtain walls in related technologies when adjusting orientation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a rotatable building curtain wall, comprising: a wall body and curtain wall components, wherein multiple curtain wall components are arranged in an array on the wall body; wherein,
[0006] The curtain wall assembly includes a curtain wall panel, a frame structure, a pivot structure, a first torque output structure, and a second torque output structure;
[0007] The frame structure is provided with a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface, wherein the first mounting surface is the side of the frame structure that is away from the wall;
[0008] The curtain wall panel includes a transition angle bracket, a fixed angle bracket, and a panel body. The fixed angle bracket is installed on the first mounting surface, the transition angle bracket is connected to the fixed angle bracket, and the panel body is connected to the transition angle bracket.
[0009] The pivot structure is located at the end of the frame structure, and the end of the pivot structure is connected to the wall. The frame structure is capable of rotating around the axis of the pivot structure.
[0010] The first end of the first torque output structure is connected to the wall, and the second end is connected to the second mounting surface. The first torque output structure outputs a first torque to the frame structure through the second end.
[0011] The second torque output structure is disposed on the frame structure, and the rotating shaft structure is provided with a torque transmission structure that cooperates with the second torque output structure. The second torque output structure and the torque transmission structure cooperate to output a second torque to the frame structure, and the frame structure rotates around the axis of the rotating shaft structure under the action of the first torque and the second torque.
[0012] Furthermore, the frame structure includes crossbeams, main keels, and supporting keels, wherein the crossbeams include two sets arranged opposite to each other, and the supporting keels are fixedly connected to the crossbeams;
[0013] The outer surface of the crossbeam near the outer side is configured as the first mounting surface, and the outer surface of the crossbeam near the inner side is configured as the second mounting surface;
[0014] The pivot structure is located inside the main keel.
[0015] Furthermore, in the first direction, there is a rotational space between the frame structures of adjacent curtain wall components, through which the adjacent frame structures do not interfere with each other during rotation, and the first direction is a direction perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft structure.
[0016] Furthermore, the rotating shaft structure includes a shaft body, the two ends of which are fixedly connected to the wall.
[0017] The torque transmission structure includes a first gear, which is fixedly sleeved on the shaft.
[0018] The second torque output structure includes a second gear and a torque motor. The second gear is located on the inner side of the main keel and can rotate around a fixed axis. The second gear meshes with the first gear. The torque motor is located on the outer side of the main keel and is connected to the second gear in a transmission manner.
[0019] Furthermore, both the first gear and the second gear are bevel gears, and the end of the second gear is rotatably connected to the main keel via a shaft.
[0020] Furthermore, the first torque output structure includes an electric push rod, the fixed part of which is connected to the wall, and the telescopic rod of which is movably connected to the first mounting surface. The telescopic rod of the electric push rod extends and retracts, thereby driving the frame structure and the curtain wall panel to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft structure.
[0021] Furthermore, the panel body includes a photovoltaic panel, and the curtain wall assembly also includes a control module and a light-sensing module. The light-sensing module is disposed on the photovoltaic panel. The control module, the light-sensing module, and the first torque output structure and the second torque output structure are electrically connected. The control module is used to receive the electrical signal from the light-sensing module and control the first torque output structure and the second torque output structure to adjust the rotation angle of the frame structure, so as to adjust the orientation of the photovoltaic panel.
[0022] Furthermore, the curtain wall assembly also includes a reflector assembly disposed on the second mounting surface and located away from the pivot structure, with the mirror surface of the reflector assembly facing outwards for reflecting light onto the photovoltaic panel of the adjacent curtain wall assembly.
[0023] Furthermore, a rotating structure is provided on the second mounting surface. The rotating structure is close to the edge of the second mounting surface. The reflector assembly is fixed on the rotating structure and can rotate around the axis of the rotating structure. The axis of the rotating structure is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft structure.
[0024] Furthermore, the reflector assembly includes a mirror frame and mirror louvers. The mirror frame is connected to the rotating structure, and the mirror louvers are rotatably connected within the mirror frame via a shaft, so that the angle of the mirror louvers is adjustable. By adjusting the angle of the mirror louvers, the mirror louvers can form a flat mirror surface or a louver structure with ventilation openings.
[0025] In this embodiment of the invention, a wall and curtain wall components are provided, with multiple curtain wall components arranged in an array on the wall. Each curtain wall component includes a curtain wall panel, a frame structure, a pivot structure, a first torque output structure, and a second torque output structure. The frame structure has a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface. The first mounting surface is the side of the frame structure furthest from the wall, and the curtain wall panel is mounted on the first mounting surface. The pivot structure is located at the end of the frame structure and connected to the wall, allowing the frame structure to rotate around its axis. The first end of the first torque output structure is connected to the wall, and the second end is connected to the second mounting surface, outputting a first torque to the frame structure through the second end. The second torque output structure is located on the frame structure, and the pivot structure has a torque transmission structure that cooperates with the second torque output structure. The second torque output structure, in cooperation with the torque transmission structure, outputs a second torque to the frame structure, causing the frame structure to rotate around its axis under the action of the first and second torques.
[0026] On the one hand, since each curtain wall component is equipped with a corresponding first torque output structure and second torque output structure, the orientation of the curtain wall panel on each curtain wall component can be adjusted individually through the first torque output structure and the second torque output structure, thereby improving the flexibility of orientation adjustment. At the same time, since each curtain wall panel can be individually adjusted, the torque required for adjustment is reduced, and the performance requirements of the equipment are reduced.
[0027] On the other hand, since each curtain wall component is equipped with a first torque output structure and a second torque output structure, the first torque output structure and the second torque output structure can apply a first torque and a second torque to the curtain wall component respectively. The frame structure and the curtain wall panel rotate under the combined action of the first torque and the second torque to change the orientation, which further reduces the torque requirement of a single torque output structure.
[0028] On the other hand, since each curtain wall panel can be individually adjusted in orientation, the intensity and direction of light entering the room can be controlled to a certain extent, thereby optimizing natural lighting, reducing the use of artificial lighting, reducing energy consumption, and providing more uniform and softer light to the interior, thus improving the comfort of the interior space.

[0048] To solve related technical problems, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides a rotatable building curtain wall, including: a wall body 1 and curtain wall components 6, wherein multiple curtain wall components 6 are arranged in an array on the wall body 1; wherein,
[0049] Curtain wall component 6 includes curtain wall panel 5, frame structure 3, pivot structure 4, first torque output structure 2, and second torque output structure;
[0050] The frame structure 3 is provided with a first mounting surface 34 and a second mounting surface 33. The first mounting surface 34 is the side of the frame structure 3 away from the wall 1. The curtain wall panel 5 is installed on the first mounting surface 34.
[0051] The pivot structure 4 is located at the end of the frame structure 3, and the end of the pivot structure 4 is connected to the wall 1. The frame structure 3 can rotate around the axis of the pivot structure 4.
[0052] The first end of the first torque output structure 2 is connected to the wall 1, and the second end is connected to the second mounting surface 33. The first torque output structure 2 outputs the first torque to the frame structure 3 through the second end.
[0053] The second torque output structure is provided on the frame structure 3, and the rotating shaft structure 4 is provided with a torque transmission structure that cooperates with the second torque output structure. The second torque is output to the frame structure 3 through the cooperation of the second torque output structure and the torque transmission structure. The frame structure 3 rotates around the axis of the rotating shaft structure 4 under the action of the first torque and the second torque.
[0054] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic curtain wall structure system includes multiple curtain wall components 6, which can be installed on the wall 1 in an array. Each curtain wall component 6 includes a frame structure 3, a curtain wall panel 5, a pivot structure 4, a first torque output structure 2, and a second torque output structure. The frame structure 3 serves as a rigid structural member, providing support and connection. The curtain wall panel 5 can be a decorative panel or a photovoltaic panel, depending on its function. The pivot structure 4 serves as the rotational basis for the frame structure 3 and the curtain wall panel 5, allowing them to rotate about the axis of the pivot structure 4. The first torque output structure 2 and the second torque output structure drive the rotation of the frame structure 3 and the curtain wall panel 5.
[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the frame structure 3 can be formed by assembling several steel profiles or by assembling several aluminum alloy profiles. The frame structure 3 includes a first mounting surface 34 and a second mounting surface 33. The first mounting surface 34, as the mounting surface of the curtain wall panel 5, is located on the side of the frame structure 3 away from the wall 1. The second mounting surface 33, as the side connecting the first torque output structure 2, can be located on the side of the frame structure 3 close to the wall 1 or in other positions. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on it.
[0056] The curtain wall panel 5 is fixed to the first mounting surface 34 of the frame structure 3 by a connecting structure, which can be bolts, angle brackets, etc. The pivot structure 4 is installed at the end of the frame structure 3, for example, at the left or right end of the frame structure 3. The pivot structure 4 includes at least one fixed shaft. The end of the frame structure 3 can be rotatably connected to the shaft through a bearing, so that the frame structure 3 can rotate around the fixed shaft, and the curtain wall panel 5 fixed to the frame structure 3 also rotates synchronously.
[0057] The first torque output structure 2 is connected to the wall 1 and the frame structure 3 at both ends, respectively. A torque is applied to the frame structure 3 through the second end of the first torque output structure 2, causing the frame structure 3 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft structure 4. Depending on the driving method, the first torque output structure 2 has different structural forms. In one embodiment, the first torque output structure 2 includes a telescopic push rod or a linearly movable slider, which pushes the frame structure 3 to rotate by applying a thrust. It is understood that when the first torque output structure 2 adopts a push rod-type structure, both ends, or at least one end, of the first torque output structure 2 need to have the degree of freedom to push the frame structure 3 to rotate. For example, the first end of the first torque output structure 2 is rotatably connected to the wall 1, and the second end is rotatably connected to the frame structure 3. Of course, the first end of the first torque output structure 2 can also be fixedly connected to the wall 1, in which case its second end is required to be able to slide while being rotatably connected to the frame structure 3.
[0058] like Figure 10 As shown, the second torque output structure is separately mounted on the frame structure. To cooperate with the second torque output structure, a torque transmission structure is installed on the rotating shaft structure. The second torque output structure and the torque transmission structure work together to output a second torque to the frame structure, causing the frame structure to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft structure under the action of the first and second torques. In one embodiment, the second torque output structure includes a torque motor and a gear structure. The torque transmission structure can also be a gear structure, which applies torque to the frame structure through their cooperation. Due to the arrangement of the second torque output structure, the torque required for the first torque output structure is reduced.
[0059] In one aspect of this utility model embodiment, since each curtain wall component is equipped with a corresponding first torque output structure and second torque output structure, the orientation of the curtain wall panel on each curtain wall component can be adjusted individually through the first torque output structure and the second torque output structure, thereby improving the flexibility of orientation adjustment. At the same time, since each curtain wall panel can be individually adjusted in orientation, the torque required for adjustment is reduced, and the performance requirements of the equipment are reduced.
[0060] On the other hand, since each curtain wall component is equipped with a first torque output structure and a second torque output structure, the first torque output structure and the second torque output structure can apply a first torque and a second torque to the curtain wall component respectively. The frame structure and the curtain wall panel rotate under the combined action of the first torque and the second torque to change the orientation, which further reduces the torque requirement of a single torque output structure.
[0061] On the other hand, since each curtain wall panel can be individually adjusted in orientation, the intensity and direction of light entering the room can be controlled to a certain extent, thereby optimizing natural lighting, reducing the use of artificial lighting, reducing energy consumption, and providing more uniform and softer light to the interior, thus improving the comfort of the interior space.
[0062] In one implementation of frame structure 3, such as Figure 4 As shown, the frame structure 3 includes a crossbeam 30, a main keel 32 and a supporting keel 31. The crossbeam 30 includes two sets arranged opposite to each other, and the supporting keel 31 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 30.
[0063] The outer surface of the crossbeam 30 near the outer side is set as the first mounting surface 34, and the outer surface of the crossbeam 30 near the inner side is set as the second mounting surface 33.
[0064] The pivot structure 4 is located inside the main keel 32.
[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment, the crossbeams 30, main keel 32, and supporting keel 31 can be vertically welded to form a stable support system. Two sets of crossbeams 30 are arranged opposite each other, and each set of crossbeams 30 can include multiple steel sections. The two sides of the supporting keel 31 are fixedly connected to the corresponding crossbeams 30. Multiple supporting keels 31 can be provided, for example, two, located respectively in the middle of the frame structure 3 and at the end of the frame structure 3 away from the pivot structure 4, i.e., the left end as shown in the figure. The main keel 32 is welded and fixed to the right end of the crossbeams 30, and the pivot structure 4 is located inside the main keel 32. The shaft in the pivot structure 4 can be connected to the main keel 32 via bearings, or the shaft in the pivot structure 4 can pass through the upper and lower ends of the main keel 32 and be connected to the building via bearings.
[0066] In one embodiment, since each curtain wall component 6 can rotate independently, when the frame structure 3 has a certain thickness, in order to avoid interference during rotation, there is a rotation space between the frame structures 3 of adjacent curtain wall components 6 in the first direction. The rotation space ensures that the adjacent frame structures 3 do not interfere with each other during rotation. The first direction is the arrangement direction perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft structure 4.
[0067] Specifically, taking the first direction as the horizontal direction of wall 1, with the rotating shaft structure 4 installed at the right end of frame structure 3 as an example, in this direction, adjacent frame structures 3 and curtain wall panels 5 must at least on the left side meet the requirement of not interfering during rotation, so that frame structures 3 and curtain wall panels 5 can be rotated in a right-to-left order. When both the left and right sides of adjacent frame structures 3 and curtain wall panels 5 meet the requirement of not interfering during rotation, then any frame structure 3 and curtain wall panel 5 can be rotated individually.
[0068] In one embodiment, to reduce the rotation space, the two ends of the frame structure 3 can be configured as outwardly convex arc-shaped end faces, in which case the spacing between adjacent frame structures 3 can be made smaller. Since the curtain wall panel 5 is generally thin, interference can be avoided by maintaining a certain spacing.
[0069] In one implementation, such as Figure 10 As shown, the rotating shaft structure 4 includes a shaft body 40, and both ends of the shaft body 40 are fixedly connected to the wall 1.
[0070] The torque transmission structure includes a first gear 10, which is fixedly sleeved on the shaft 40.
[0071] The second torque output structure includes a second gear 11 and a torque motor 12. The second gear 11 is located inside the main keel 32 and can rotate around a fixed axis. The second gear 11 meshes with the first gear 10. The torque motor 12 is located on the outside of the main keel 32 and is connected to the second gear 11 in a transmission manner.
[0072] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft structure 4 includes a shaft 40 that provides rotational support. After the shaft 40 is fixed, the main keel 32 needs to be driven to rotate around the axis of the shaft 40. Therefore, the main keel 32 serves as the power input end, i.e., the first torque output structure 2 serves as the power input end to input torque to the main keel 32. To reduce the required output torque of the first torque output structure 2, the torque transmission structure in this embodiment includes a first gear 10, which is fixedly sleeved on the shaft 40. The second torque output structure includes a second gear 11 and a torque motor 12. The second gear 11 is located on the inner side of the main keel 32 and can rotate around a fixed axis. The second gear 11 meshes with the first gear 10. The torque motor 12 is located on the outer side of the main keel 32 and is connected to the second gear 11 in a transmission manner. When the torque motor 12 outputs torque to the second gear 11, due to the meshing relationship between the first gear 10 and the second gear 11, and the fixed connection between the first gear 10 and the shaft 40, the first gear 10 will generate a reaction force on the second gear 11. The reaction force acts on the main keel 32, forming a torque on the main keel 32, i.e., the second torque. Therefore, it can reduce the torque required to be output by the first torque output structure 2.
[0073] In one implementation, such as Figure 10 As shown, for ease of layout, both the first gear 10 and the second gear 11 are bevel gears. The end of the second gear 11 is rotatably connected to the main keel 32 via a shaft, and the outer ring of the first gear 10 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the main keel 32. In this embodiment, the first gear 10 is coaxial with the shaft 40, and the axis of rotation of the second gear 11 is perpendicular to the axis of the shaft 40.
[0074] In one embodiment of the first torque output structure 2, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first torque output structure 2 includes an electric push rod 20. The fixed part of the electric push rod 20 is fixed to the wall 1. The telescopic rod 21 of the electric push rod 20 is movably connected to the first mounting surface 34. The telescopic rod 21 of the electric push rod 20 extends and retracts, causing the frame structure 3 and the curtain wall panel 5 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft structure 4.
[0075] Specifically, in this embodiment, since the fixed part of the electric push rod 20 is fixedly connected to the wall 1, the telescopic rod 21 of the electric push rod 20 needs to be able to slide while being hinged to the first mounting surface 34. For example, a groove is provided on the first mounting surface 34, and a slider is slidably arranged in the groove. The slider is hinged to the telescopic rod 21 through a hinge.
[0076] The fixing part of the electric push rod 20 can be welded to the galvanized steel plate 7 as one piece, and fixed to the wall 1 by high-strength chemical anchors to form a stable support system.
[0077] To achieve automated control of the rotation of the curtain wall assembly 6, the curtain wall panel 5 in this embodiment includes a panel body, which may be a photovoltaic panel 50. The curtain wall assembly 6 also includes a control module and a light sensing module. The light sensing module is disposed on the curtain wall panel 5. The control module, the light sensing module, the first torque output structure 2, and the second torque output structure are electrically connected. The control module is used to receive the electrical signal from the light sensing module and control the first torque output structure 2 and the second torque output structure to adjust the rotation angle of the frame structure 3, so as to adjust the orientation of the photovoltaic panel 50.
[0078] Specifically, in this embodiment, the light intensity change is acquired by the light sensing module, and a corresponding electrical signal is generated. The control module receives the electrical signal and controls the drive ends in the first torque output structure 2 and the second torque output structure to operate, so that the drive ends output according to the target output amount, thereby causing the photovoltaic panel 50 to rotate to the corresponding angle. In one embodiment, the correspondence between light intensity and target output amount can be established in advance. In this embodiment, each photovoltaic panel 50 can adjust its angle according to the light intensity acquired by the light sensing module. Since the actual positions of different photovoltaic panels 50 are different, even at the same time, the light intensity received by photovoltaic panels 50 at different positions is different, so the rotation angle of photovoltaic panels 50 at different positions is different.
[0079] In one embodiment of the curtain wall panel 5, such as Figure 4 As shown, the curtain wall panel 5 also includes a transition bracket 51 and a fixed bracket 52;
[0080] The first end of the adapter 51 is fixedly connected to the back of the photovoltaic panel 50, the second end is fixedly connected to the first end of the fixed angle bracket 52, and the second end of the fixed angle bracket 52 is fixedly connected to the frame structure 3.
[0081] Specifically, in this embodiment, multiple adapter brackets 51 can be configured and fixed to the back of the photovoltaic panel 50. The adapter brackets 51 and the photovoltaic panel 50 can be glued and fixed together. The number of fixing brackets 52 is the same as the number of adapter brackets 51. The fixing brackets 52 and the adapter brackets 51 can be fixed together with screws. The adapter brackets 51 and the frame structure 3 can be fixed together with expansion bolts.
[0082] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown, in order to further increase the light intensity acting on the photovoltaic panel 50, the curtain wall assembly 6 in this embodiment also includes a reflector group 8. The reflector group 8 is disposed on the second mounting surface 33 and located away from the rotating shaft structure 4. The mirror surface of the reflector group 8 faces outward and is used to reflect light onto the photovoltaic panel 50 of the adjacent curtain wall assembly 6.
[0083] Specifically, when the photovoltaic panel 50 in the first direction rotates outward, the reflector group 8 on each photovoltaic panel 50 can reflect sunlight back onto the adjacent photovoltaic panel 50, thereby increasing the light intensity on the photovoltaic panel 50 and improving the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel 50. It should be noted that the position of the reflector group 8 should avoid obstructing the photovoltaic panel 50 during rotation.
[0084] In one embodiment, to better utilize the reflector assembly 8, the reflector assembly 8 needs to be positioned as close as possible to the edge of the frame structure 3. Obviously, since the reflector assembly 8 has a certain length, when it is close to the edge of the frame structure 3, it is prone to interference with the adjacent frame structure 3, thereby affecting the rotation of the photovoltaic panel 50. Therefore, as... Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a rotating structure 9 is provided on the second mounting surface 33. The rotating structure 9 is close to the edge of the second mounting surface 33. The reflector group 8 is fixed on the rotating structure 9 and can rotate around the axis of the rotating structure 9. The axis of the rotating structure 9 is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft structure 4.
[0085] Specifically, the rotating structure 9 can be an active rotating structure or a passive rotating structure. When the rotating structure 9 is an active rotating structure, it includes a drive structure capable of driving the reflector assembly 8 to rotate, such as a drive motor, linkage assembly, etc. Before the photovoltaic panel 50 rotates outward from its initial state, the rotating structure 9 needs to be controlled to rotate the reflector assembly 8 towards the direction closer to the first torque output structure 2 to avoid the adjacent frame structure 3. After the photovoltaic panel 50 rotates to a set angle, the rotating structure 9 needs to be controlled to rotate the reflector assembly 8 outward by a certain angle so that sunlight can be reflected onto the adjacent photovoltaic panel 50. It should be noted that the adjacent photovoltaic panel 50 also needs to be in the rotated-out state at this time to be affected by the reflector assembly 8.
[0086] When the photovoltaic panel 50 needs to be rotated back to its initial state, the rotating structure 9 also needs to be controlled in advance to make the reflector group 8 rotate towards the direction of the first torque output structure 2.
[0087] When the rotating structure 9 is a passive rotating structure, the maximum outward rotation angle of the reflector assembly 8 needs to be achieved first through the limiting structure. In one embodiment, this angle is 90 degrees, that is, when the reflector assembly 8 is at its maximum outward rotation angle, the reflector assembly 8 is perpendicular to the second mounting surface 33.
[0088] like Figure 8 As shown, after the reflector group 8 is set in a suitable position, when all the curtain wall components 6 in the first direction rotate synchronously, the frame structure 3 can naturally avoid the reflector group 8 during the rotation of the axis of the rotating shaft structure 4, and no interference will occur between the reflector group 8 and the frame structure 3 during this process.
[0089] like Figure 9 As shown, when only part of the curtain wall component 6 rotates, the reflector assembly 8 may come into contact with the adjacent fixed frame structure 3 due to its placement. During this process, since the reflector assembly 8 is connected to the rotating structure 9, it can automatically rotate to adapt to its current position after contacting the adjacent frame structure 3. A torsion spring or similar elastic structure can be installed within the rotating structure 9, allowing the reflector assembly 8 to adhere tightly to the adjacent frame structure 3 under elastic force. When the photovoltaic panel 50 is at its maximum rotation angle, the reflector assembly 8 should maintain contact with the adjacent frame structure 3, even if only the upper part of the reflector assembly 8 contacts the frame structure 3. When the photovoltaic panel 50 rotates back to its initial state, the reflector assembly 8 rotates under the influence of the adjacent frame structure 3 to adapt to its current position.
[0090] Since the temperature of the photovoltaic panel 50 affects the power generation efficiency, it is necessary to provide heat dissipation performance for the curtain wall assembly 6 in high-temperature environments. For this purpose, the reflector assembly 8 in this embodiment includes a mirror assembly frame and mirror assembly louvers. The mirror assembly frame is connected to the rotating structure 9, and the mirror assembly louvers are rotatably connected to the mirror assembly frame through a shaft so that the angle of the mirror assembly louvers is adjustable. By adjusting the angle of the mirror assembly louvers, the mirror assembly louvers can form a flat mirror surface or a louver structure with ventilation openings.
[0091] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mirror louvers are multiple rotatable blade-shaped lenses. By controlling the rotation of the mirror louvers, the reflector assembly 8 can present a relatively flat mirror surface or louvers with multiple ventilation openings. When heat dissipation is required, the mirror louvers need to present a louver structure with multiple ventilation openings. When not needed, the mirror louvers can present a relatively flat mirror surface to improve power generation efficiency. The rotation of the mirror louvers can be achieved through a corresponding drive structure, specifically the drive structure of automatic louvers in related technologies, which will not be elaborated here. When the reflector assembly 8 includes the mirror frame, the mirror frame is connected as a rigid structure to the rotating structure 9 on the second mounting surface 33.
[0092] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
