Description

STATE OF THE ART

The present invention relates to an advanced window, be it a side-hung window, a sliding window, a tilt-and-turn window or any other type of opening available on the market, which offers a number of advantages and innovative features, in which a solar shutter is integrated into the frame of said window it a top hung window, a sash window, a sliding top hung window, a side hung window, a side hung window, a fold only window, a fold turn top hung window, a fold pan window, a fold pan hung window, a sash window, a reverse sash window, a sash lift window, a reverse sash lift window, where the functionality of the window and the shutter is combined with an additional feature that provides insulation and protection from inclement weather, such as rain and rising winds, as well as external noise pollution.

Thanks to the possibility of controlled shifting, temperature and light can be better preserved inside apartments.

The multi-purpose solar window serves as a structure for the installation of solar panels or photovoltaic glass and at the same time to generate electrical or thermal energy for self-consumption and to form a BIPV system (Building Integrated Photovoltaics), in which the photovoltaic panels are integrated as a structural element in are integrated into the building. In other words, the modules have a double function: on the one hand to generate energy and on the other hand to cover the building.

It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a multi-purpose integral window, which also determines means by which solar panels, thermal solar panels or photovoltaic glass can be attached to any type of building, so that they can occupy different stable positions, either depending on the direction of solar radiation in order to capture maximum solar energy or to avoid damaging it in strong winds, and to identify means of thermal and acoustic insulation.

This system intends to bring benefits for both the environment and the user, through the production of electrical or thermal energy for self-consumption with 100% renewable energy and saving CO ₂ emissions into the atmosphere, because a third of greenhouse gas emissions are from homes that use fossil fuels derived from oil and gas.

Another aspect to highlight about solar energy is that it does not generate any noise while offering the advantages of self-consumption while being compatible with other types of energy, which helps reduce the user's electricity bill.

The invention offers the user a very advantageous configuration to facilitate self-consumption in both the manual and electric opening versions.

The object of the invention is also to use as efficiently as possible the direct solar radiation that is wasted on walls, facades, curtain walls, etc., to recover it for self-consumption and in this way efficiently the solar panels and photovoltaic glasses on the market and versatile in use, leading users to assume ecological responsibility towards our planet and the environment, which is the key to sustainable and future development, since solar energy is a renewable, clean, inexhaustible and abundant energy.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

• • Reinigung der Panele: Eines der Hauptprobleme ist die Verschmutzung der Panele und ihre negative Auswirkung auf die Erzeugung von elektrischer Energie und das daraus resultierende Risiko für den Bediener, das Dach für die Reinigung und Wartung zu betreten.
• • Dichtigkeit des Daches: Der Benutzer ist verpflichtet, von Zeit zu Zeit eine Wartung vorzunehmen, da sonst die Gefahr besteht, dass das Dach erneuert werden muss. Das hieße, dass das System der Solarpanele abgebaut und wieder zusammengebaut werden müsste.

The installation of solar panels, whether thermal or photovoltaic, is usually done with the help of roof structures, which are cumbersome for the user as they involve the cost of the necessary works and consequently maintenance costs:

• • Cleaning of the panels: One of the main problems is the pollution of the panels and its negative impact on the production of electrical energy and the consequent risk for the operator to access the roof for cleaning and maintenance.
• • Tightness of the roof: the user is obliged to carry out maintenance from time to time, otherwise there is a risk that the roof will have to be replaced. This would mean that the system of solar panels would have to be dismantled and reassembled.

In parallel, the use of shutters is widespread, since this type of device offers advantages both in terms of thermal and acoustic insulation.

However, there are no known integral windows that offer additional options such as the generation of electricity or hot water for self-consumption in addition to the functions mentioned above.

PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

The proposed solar integral window closes the technological gap described above with a highly efficient solution.

To this end, the invention proposes a structure that can be easily installed on any facade, roof, curtain wall or any other external vertical cladding that offers clear advantages over traditional systems, with a structure that allows the user direct access, to keep the panels clean and to optimize the production of solar energy for self-consumption.

In more detail, the window that the present invention proposes consists, in a conventional manner, essentially of a frame, a jamb or an external frame, which, using known systems, is fixed and adjusted to the relative wall opening or skirting and, logically, the dimensions corresponding to the window and having shapes, and an internal frame forming the window sash, to which is suitably coupled a glass or a photovoltaic glass or a solar panel, said window sash having an opening and closing mechanism that can have different types of opening: pivoting, sliding -, turn-tilt or any other commercially available type.

The window according to the invention can be made of any joinery material: aluminium, PVC, wood, steel or other materials with or without breaking thermal bridges.

The aforesaid frame, frame or outer frame is characterized by the fact that it is formed by the mutual coupling of horizontal and parallel guide profiles placed above, below and to the side of the outer frame of the solar window, in a width and height of the Extend window corresponding magnitude to this and serve as a lubricant and support for the frame of the solar shutters.

The invention consists in that the covering structure of the window and of the shutter itself consists of a photovoltaic glass or a photovoltaic or thermal solar panel connected to a suitable plant for exploiting the energy generated thereby.

2. 2) Regensensor, besonders nützlich, um den Regen zur Reinigung des Panels zu nutzen.
3. 3) Beleuchtungsgradsensor (Sonne), dank der klappbaren Öffnungsscharniere und dem Betrieb der beiden synchronisierten elektrischen Teleskop-Linearantriebe kann die Öffnung eine unendliche Anzahl von stabilen Positionen einnehmen und so die Sonneneinstrahlung je nach Uhrzeit, Tag und Jahreszeit voll ausnutzen.

These sensors can be:

1. 1) Wind sensor that detects sudden strong winds or storms and automatically retracts the cover.
