Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) components, and in particular to a building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) component. Background Technology
[0002] Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) systems are a new concept in photovoltaic power generation, representing a perfect combination of solar photovoltaic systems and modern architecture. In building design, photovoltaic modules are installed on the exterior surface of the building structure to provide electricity, integrating the solar power generation system with roofs, skylights, curtain walls, and other architectural elements. The construction of green and environmentally friendly buildings is creating a new global trend.
[0003] Building-integrated photovoltaic (PV) systems: This involves installing a typical PV array on the roof or balcony of a building. Usually, the output of its inverter controller is connected in parallel with the public power grid to supply power to the building. This is the basic form of building-integrated PV systems.
[0004] Photovoltaic modules integrated with buildings: Photovoltaic modules are integrated with building materials. Using special materials and processes, photovoltaic modules are made into roofs, exterior walls, windows, etc., and can be used directly as building materials. They can generate electricity and serve as building materials, further reducing the cost of power generation.
[0005] Existing building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) modules lack the function of regulating the temperature of building exterior surfaces.
[0006] This proposal is put forward in order to improve and optimize the above-mentioned problems or shortcomings. Utility Model Content
[0007] A building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) module, comprising:
[0008] An integrated structural frame is used to fix and support the photovoltaic panels. The integrated structural frame is installed and fixed to the roof via fixing components.
[0009] The integrated structural frame is fixed with support structures at its four corners for fixing to the roof and forming an air gap layer between the roof surface. The photovoltaic power generation panel generates electricity by irradiation and also shades the roof.
[0010] The integrated structural frame has rotatable and closable structures on all four sides to cover or open the sides of the air gap layer;
[0011] The driving component drives the rotatable closing structure to perform a specified action when the power is turned on.
[0012] Preferably, the lower end face of the integrated structural frame is fixed with four supporting foot structures, and the supporting foot structures are hollow and open downwards. A photovoltaic building component pivot is rotatably provided between two adjacent supporting foot structures. A thin plate-shaped photovoltaic building component air guide plate is fixed on the photovoltaic building component pivot, as shown in the figure. When the photovoltaic building component air guide plate is in a vertical state, it is difficult for air to flow smoothly. When the photovoltaic building component air guide plate is rotated 90 degrees, the four sides are opened to facilitate the smooth flow of air.
[0013] Preferably, a servo motor for driving the rotation of the photovoltaic building module shaft is configured within the support leg structure.
[0014] Preferably, one of the integrated structural frames is provided with a drive servo motor, which drives one of the photovoltaic building component shafts to rotate, and the shaft ends of the other three photovoltaic building component shafts are engaged by a synchronous meshing gear set to move synchronously. The other end of the photovoltaic building component shaft driven by the drive servo motor is engaged with the adjacent photovoltaic building component shaft by the synchronous meshing gear set.
[0015] Preferably, the synchronous meshing gear set includes two meshing bevel gears.
[0016] Preferably, the support foot structure having the synchronous meshing gear set is filled with grease.
[0017] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:
[0018] This device creates an air gap on the roof, and the airflow of this air gap is adjusted by controlling the air guide plate of the photovoltaic building module. Specifically, when the air guide plate of the photovoltaic building module is vertical, it blocks the side gaps, reducing the airflow between the roof and the photovoltaic panels. The heat energy of the sun makes the temperature of the photovoltaic panels rise, which in turn raises the temperature inside the air gap, improving the building's thermal insulation. When the air guide plate of the photovoltaic building module rotates 90 degrees, the air can circulate relatively freely, and because the photovoltaic panels block the sunlight, the roof will not be directly exposed to the sun, preventing the roof from getting too hot, thus achieving a temperature regulation function.
