Description

Technical Field

[0001] This article discusses ventilation and lighting structures for modular buildings. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern architecture, modular buildings are widely used due to their advantages such as high construction efficiency and controllable costs. However, existing modular building designs often neglect structural optimization for ventilation and lighting. The current common practice is to achieve ventilation and lighting functions by adding windows later, but this method has many drawbacks. On the one hand, adding windows later increases construction costs and time; on the other hand, this method is difficult to perfectly fit with the overall structure of the modular building, resulting in poor ventilation and lighting effects.

[0003] More importantly, for non-residential building structures such as corridors, offices, museums, stadiums, and aquariums, the ventilation and lighting functions of the walls themselves are particularly important. If the walls can be pre-designed in the factory to provide good ventilation and lighting, it can not only improve the comfort of the building but also significantly save on subsequent energy consumption. In addition, current technologies, while achieving ventilation and lighting, struggle to effectively address the problem of rainwater easily flowing into the interior, which also brings inconvenience to the use of modular buildings. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a ventilation and lighting structure for modular buildings, so as to effectively solve the problems of poor lighting and ventilation in existing modular building installation structures and the easy inflow of rainwater.

[0005] The specific structure is as follows: A ventilation and lighting structure for modular buildings includes a main body, the outer surface of which is provided with a number of first channels and the inner surface of which is provided with a matching number of second channels. The first channels and the second channels are connected by an oblique channel. The cross-sectional shape of the first channel, the second channel and the oblique channel are all rectangular.

[0006] Furthermore, the horizontal height of the first channel is lower than that of the second channel; a first reflector is provided on the lower inner wall of the inclined channel, and a second reflector is provided on the upper inner wall of the inclined channel.

[0007] Furthermore, a number of drainage holes are provided at the connection between the first channel and the inclined channel, and the drainage holes pass through the main body.

[0008] Furthermore, the main body is equipped with a movable baffle inside. The movable baffle has several notches that match the second channel. The side of the movable baffle is connected to the main body via sliding fasteners, which are used to control the relative height between the movable baffle and the main body. The movable baffle inside the main body can have its relative height controlled by the sliding fasteners. When the movable baffle moves, the overlapping area between its notches and the second channel changes, thereby adjusting the ventilation volume. Users can flexibly control the ventilation volume according to actual needs, improving convenience and comfort.

[0009] Furthermore, both the first reflector and the second reflector are aluminum sheet structures with smooth surfaces.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer surface of the main body is provided with a shielding cover, which covers the first channel. The shielding cover on the outer surface of the main body covering the first channel can further prevent rainwater from directly entering the first channel, while also providing a certain degree of protection for the first channel and extending the service life of the ventilation and lighting structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the first and second passages are arranged vertically on the main structure. This arrangement makes ventilation and lighting more uniform, improving the overall environmental quality inside the building.

[0012] Furthermore, the angle between the inclined channel and the horizontal plane is 45 degrees, which can optimize the reflection path of light while ensuring good ventilation, allowing more light to enter the room.

[0013] Furthermore, the movable baffle is made of lightweight aluminum alloy, which can effectively reduce the weight of the overall structure and facilitate installation and movement.

[0014] Beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention creates a unique ventilation path by setting up a first channel, an inclined channel, and a second channel. Because the first channel is at a lower level than the second channel, air can naturally enter through the first channel, pass through the inclined channel, and then exit through the second channel, thus achieving a good natural ventilation effect, reducing the use of mechanical ventilation equipment, and lowering energy consumption.

[0016] The lower and upper inner walls of the inclined passageway are equipped with a first reflector and a second reflector, respectively. These two reflectors can reflect outside light into the interior. The smooth aluminum sheet structure has excellent reflective properties, which can effectively guide light into the building interior, improve indoor lighting, reduce reliance on artificial lighting, and further save energy.

[0017] A drain hole is provided at the connection between the first channel and the inclined channel. When rainwater enters from the first channel, it will be discharged from the main body through the drain hole, preventing rainwater from flowing into the room along the inclined channel. This solves the problem of rainwater easily flowing in in the existing technology and improves the waterproof performance of the building. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To enhance understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to explain the present utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a ventilation and lighting structure for modular buildings includes a main body 1. The outer surface of the main body 1 is provided with a plurality of first channels 2, and the inner surface is provided with second channels 4 matching the number of first channels 2. The first channels 2 and the second channels 4 are connected by inclined channels 3, and the cross-sectional shape of the first channels 2, the second channels 4 and the inclined channels 3 are all rectangular.

[0028] The horizontal height of the first passage 2 is lower than that of the second passage 4. This design prevents rainwater from flowing directly into the building's interior. The lower inner wall of the inclined passage 3 is equipped with a first reflector 12, and the upper inner wall is equipped with a second reflector 13. Both the first reflector 12 and the second reflector 13 are made of smooth aluminum sheet.

[0029] Several drainage holes 5 are provided at the connection between the first channel 2 and the inclined channel 3, and the drainage holes 5 pass through the main body 1. Rainwater entering through the first channel 2 can flow out quickly through the drainage holes.

[0030] The main body 1 has a movable baffle 6 inside. The movable baffle 6 has several notches that match the second channel 4. The side of the movable baffle 6 is connected to the main body 1 by a sliding buckle 61. The sliding buckle 61 is used to control the relative position and height between the movable baffle 6 and the main body 1. This allows the second channel 4 to be transformed into a fully covered, partially covered, or uncovered state.

[0031] The outer surface of the main body 1 is provided with a shielding cover 11, which covers the top of the first channel 2. The first channel 2 and the second channel 4 are arranged vertically on the main body 1, the angle between the oblique channel 3 and the horizontal plane is 45 degrees, and the movable baffle 6 is made of lightweight aluminum alloy.

[0032] In actual use, air enters through the first channel 2. Since the first channel 2 is at a lower level than the second channel 4, the air can flow out through the inclined channel 3 and exit through the second channel 4, achieving natural ventilation. However, water cannot flow into the room through the first channel 2 or the second channel 4.

[0033] In use: External light enters the inclined channel 3 through the first channel 2, and after being reflected by the first reflector 12 and the second reflector 13, the light is guided into the room, which can improve the indoor lighting effect. When it rains, rainwater enters through the first channel 2 and is discharged from the main body 1 through the drain hole 5. At the same time, the shield 11 can also effectively prevent rainwater from directly entering the first channel 2, thus preventing rainwater from flowing into the room.

[0034] Users can adjust the position of the movable baffle 6 by sliding buckle 61 as needed, thereby changing the overlapping area between the notch and the second channel 4 and thus controlling the amount of ventilation.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
