[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.
[0026] This utility model discloses an intelligent dimming glass curtain wall, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes an outer frame 1, the cross-section of which is a square ring. The outer frame 1 is arranged vertically. A tinted glass 11 is installed inside the outer frame 1. The tinted glass 11 is square and arranged vertically. A windshield wiper 12 is installed on the tinted glass 11. A brush head 13 is installed on the windshield wiper 12. A water storage frame 14 is installed on the outer frame 1 and is located below the outer frame 1.
[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a filter channel 15 is provided on the side of the outer frame 1 near the water storage frame 14. The cross-section of the filter channel 15 is square and extends horizontally. The filter channel 15 is connected to the water storage frame 14. A water storage tank 16 is provided inside the outer frame 1. The water storage tank 16 is connected to the filter channel 15. A water pump 17 is installed on the water storage tank 16 by bolts. The input end of the water pump 17 is connected to a first water pipe 18, and the output end of the water pump 17 is connected to a second water pipe 19. The cross-sections of the first water pipe 18 and the second water pipe 19 are both annular. The first water pipe 18 is arranged vertically and is connected to the water storage tank 16. The second water pipe 19 is connected to the windshield wiper 12.
[0028] When it is raining, the rainwater first falls into the water storage frame 14, and then enters the water storage tank 16 through the filter channel 15. When the rain stops and the tinted glass 11 needs to be cleaned, the water pump 17 in the water storage tank 16 can be sent to the windshield wiper 12, which can help save water resources.
[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a filter plate 21 is installed inside the filter channel 15. The filter plate 21 is square and vertically oriented. Multiple filter holes 22 are formed on the filter plate 21, each with a square cross-section and extending horizontally. When rainwater enters the water storage tank 16 through the filter channel 15, the filter plate 21 and the multiple filter holes 22 facilitate the filtration of debris within the water storage frame 14, thereby reducing the likelihood of debris clogging the filter channel 15.
[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a cleaning plate 23 is slidably disposed in the water storage frame 14 along the horizontal direction. The cleaning plate 23 is square and can cooperate with the filter plate 21. A cleaning groove 24 is provided on one side wall of the water storage frame 14. The cleaning groove 24 has a square cross-section and extends horizontally. A baffle 25 is rotatably disposed in the cleaning groove 24. The baffle 25 has a square cross-section.

[0031] When there is a lot of debris in the water storage frame 14, the cleaning plate 23 is driven to move by the drive mechanism 3, so that the cleaning plate 23 can easily scrape the debris on the water storage frame 14 and the filter plate 21. When the cleaning plate 23 moves to the baffle 25, the cleaning plate 23 drives the baffle 25 to rotate, so that the cleaning plate 23 can easily push the debris in the water storage frame 14 out through the cleaning tank 24.
[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a rotating shaft 26 is provided inside the cleaning tank 24. The rotating shaft 26 has a circular cross-section and is arranged in a horizontal direction.

The torsion springs 27 are sleeved on the rotating shaft 26 and are arranged in a horizontal direction. One end of the torsion spring 27 is fixedly connected to the baffle 25, and the other end of the torsion spring 27 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 24.
[0033] When the cleaning plate 23 comes into contact with the baffle 25, the cleaning plate 23 drives the baffle 25 to rotate. At this time, the torsion spring 27 is in a compressed state. When the debris in the water storage frame 14 is pushed out through the cleaning groove 24, the cleaning plate 23 moves away from the baffle 25. The baffle 25 rotates and resets under the elastic force of the torsion spring 27.
[0034] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the drive mechanism 3 includes a drive block 311, which is square in shape and fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning plate 23. A drive groove 312 is formed on the inner wall of the water storage frame 14. The drive groove 312 has a square cross-section and extends horizontally. The cross-sectional areas of the drive block 311 and the drive groove 312 are equal. The drive block 311 is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the drive groove 312 in the horizontal direction. A drive assembly 32 for driving the drive block 311 to move horizontally is provided within the drive groove 312. When it is necessary to move the cleaning plate 23, the drive assembly 32 drives the drive block 311 to move, thereby enabling the cleaning plate 23 to move.
[0035] When the lead screw 321 drives the drive block 311 to move, by setting the cross-sectional areas of the drive block 311 and the drive groove 312 to be equal, it is easy to guide the drive block 311, thereby reducing the possibility of the drive block 311 rotating, and thus making it easier to drive the drive block 311 to make linear motion.
[0036] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the drive assembly 32 includes a lead screw 321, which is arranged horizontally and rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the drive groove 312. The lead screw 321 is threadedly engaged with the drive block 311 and passes through the drive block 311. A rotating component 33 for driving the lead screw 321 is provided inside the water storage frame 14. When it is necessary to drive the drive block 311 to move, the lead screw 321 can be driven to rotate through the rotating component 33, thereby facilitating the movement of the drive block 311.
[0037] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotating component 33 includes a motor 331. The output shaft of the motor 331 is arranged horizontally and is connected to one end of the lead screw 321. A mounting groove 332 is provided on one side wall of the drive groove 312. The mounting groove 332 has a circular cross-section and extends along the axial direction of the lead screw 321. The motor 331 is mounted to the inner wall of the mounting groove 332 by bolts. When it is necessary to drive the lead screw 321 to rotate, the motor 331 can be started to drive the output shaft to rotate, thereby facilitating the rotation of the lead screw 321.
[0038] The implementation principle of a smart dimming glass curtain wall according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When it is raining, the rainwater first falls into the water storage frame 14, and then enters the water storage tank 16 through the filter channel 15. When the rain stops and the tinted glass 11 needs to be cleaned, the water pump 17 in the water storage tank 16 can be sent to the windshield wiper 12, which can help save water resources.
[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
