Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of window structure technology, and more specifically, it relates to a light-driven smart window. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of the building envelope system, windows play multiple crucial roles in human living environments and work spaces, including lighting, ventilation, views, and building envelope. They are not only an important medium for realizing the interaction between indoor and outdoor spaces, but also one of the core elements affecting building energy consumption and living comfort.

[0003] Based on existing technology, it has been found that the existing form structure has some shortcomings:

[0004] First, traditional windows mostly use a manual sliding opening method, which requires users to manually push the window sash to open and close. This driving mode lacks an automated control mechanism and is difficult to meet the needs of modern buildings for intelligent and convenient use.

[0005] Secondly, the existing windows lack environmental perception and adaptive adjustment capabilities. When encountering severe weather such as sudden rainfall, they cannot automatically trigger the window closing action. In scenarios where users do not manually close the windows in time or when no one is on duty outside, it is very easy to cause rainwater backflow, damage to indoor items, and even cause safety hazards such as wall seepage and short circuits, which seriously affect the safety of building use and living experience. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model relates to a light-driven smart window. This solves the problem of traditional windows relying on manual sliding opening, which requires users to manually push the window sash to open and close. This driving mode lacks an automated control mechanism, making it difficult to meet the intelligent and convenient usage needs of modern buildings. Furthermore, existing windows lack sufficient environmental sensing and adaptive adjustment capabilities, failing to automatically trigger window closing in severe weather such as sudden rainfall. In scenarios where users fail to manually close the window promptly or are unattended, this can easily lead to rainwater backflow, damage to indoor items, and even safety hazards such as wall seepage and short circuits, seriously affecting building safety and the living experience.

[0007] The first aspect of this disclosure provides a light-driven smart window, achieved through the following specific technical means:

[0008] A light-powered smart window, comprising:

[0009] The frame is rectangular and has two sets of individually operated switches on the rear side. The switches can be connected to the Internet of Things. There are two sets of sliding grooves on both sides inside the frame. A lead screw is rotatably installed inside the sliding groove, and the motor that drives the lead screw to rotate is controlled by the switch. A base rod is slidably installed in each set of sliding grooves. The base rod is threadedly connected to the lead screw, and the upper end of the outer window panel of the base rod slides in cooperation with the top side inside the frame.

[0010] According to some solutions of this utility model, rectangular built-in slots are provided on both sides of the inside of the frame, and a storage battery is inserted in the built-in slot to power the motor that drives the lead screw to rotate. A cover plate is fastened to the outside of the built-in slot.

[0011] According to some solutions of this utility model, photovoltaic panels are installed on both sides of the outer side of the frame. The photovoltaic panels are electrically connected to the storage battery, and limit grooves are opened on both sides of the photovoltaic panels. Two sets of circular rods on the rear side of the photovoltaic panels are inserted into the frame.

[0012] According to some solutions of this utility model, fixed shafts are fixed on both sides of the outer side of the frame. The fixed shafts are located above the photovoltaic panel, and rotating parts are rotatably installed on the fixed shafts. The lower end of the rotating parts is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0013] According to some solutions of this utility model, a sensing module is provided at the lower front end of the frame. The sensing module can control two sets of switches. Leakage holes are provided on the upper and lower sides of the sensing module. Rainwater can enter the sensing module through the upper leakage hole and flow out through the lower leakage hole.

[0014] According to some solutions of this utility model, the base rod is a rectangular structure, and vertical fixing holes are provided on both sides of the base rod.

[0015] According to some solutions of this utility model, the upper end of the base rod is provided with a window plate, and the lower end of the window plate is symmetrically provided with two sets of bottom rods, which are inserted into the fixing holes.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. In this device, by setting a motor-driven screw transmission structure inside the frame and cooperating with a switch that can be connected to the Internet of Things, users can remotely control the switch to start via their mobile phones, thereby controlling the screw to drive the base rod and window panel to achieve opening and closing operations. This completely changes the traditional manual sliding method, significantly improves the intelligence and convenience of window use, and meets the needs of modern building automation control.

[0018] 2. In this device, a sensor module is installed at the lower front side of the frame. When it rains, rainwater enters the sensor module through the leak and triggers its operation. The sensor module then sends a command to the motor that drives the lead screw to automatically close the window. This design enables the window to respond automatically to severe weather, preventing rainwater from flowing back in due to user negligence or when no one is home. It effectively protects the indoor environment and the safety of items, and greatly improves the safety of building use and the living experience.

[0019] 3. In this device, photovoltaic panels installed on both sides of the outer frame work in conjunction with an internal battery to convert solar energy into electrical energy, which is then stored in the battery to power electrical components such as motors. This solar-driven mode reduces reliance on the traditional power grid, lowers energy costs, aligns with the concept of green building development, and combines environmental benefits with economic value.

An elliptical rotating component 1041 is provided on the frame 1. By inserting the lower end of the rotating component 1041 into the limiting groove 1031, the photovoltaic panel 103 can be limited on the frame 1. A sliding groove 105 is provided, through which the base rod 2 can be slidably installed into the frame 1. A lead screw 1051 is provided, which can control the movement of the base rod 2 in the sliding groove 105. A sensing module 106 is provided, and a leakage hole 1061 is opened on both sides of the sensing module 106.
