Abstract

A window frame 9 allowing generation of electricity from incident sunlight while varying interior illumination, the window frame 9 comprises two sheets of glass 1,2, a series of lamella jalousies 5 disposed therebetween, whereby each jalousie (louver) 5 has a solar cell 4 mounted thereon; and a control mechanism (not shown) for rotating the jalousies 5. The glass sheets 1,2 may form double glazing whereby the space in between is sealed. The frame 9 may be provided with rods 3 for controlling the jalousie 5 rotation and extracting the electrical energy. The jalousies 5 may be either horizontal or vertically mounted. The window frame 9 may also be mounted within the wall itself or adjacent to an existing window frame.

Description

Solar Plant Window The jalousies inside the frame with a control mechanism, placed between glass frames window with double glazed with solar panels fasten on lamella jalousies for the purpose of electric power extraction.
The invention relates to the construction sector, in particular for the construction of windows and doors for residential, public and industrial buildings, as well as to the application of solar energy for energy efficiency of modern houses for the purpose of reducing emissions of carbon dioxide (C02) and struggling against global warming.
As it is known, even the most modern buildings we are living and working consume large amounts of electricity. In this case we use electricity, which we take for the most part of the so-called non-renewable sources of electricity.
At the moment that would meet the growing need for electricity, we are forced to use dangerous technologies of nuclear power plants or power plants use of fossil sources for electricity generation, using methods that result in increasing emissions of carbon dioxide (C02) in atmosphere. Hydropower today also has a serious negative impact on the environment.
Unfortunately the percentage of renewable electricity is still catastrophically low, to ensure that the entire demand for power. We consume more and more electricity every day and at the same time the atmosphere becoming more polluted, including by increasing carbon dioxide emissions.
In order to find solutions to these problems, the invention proposes to use the source of renewable energy -solar power, almost in every house or apartment.
This invention proposes to install solar panels into window frame. Thus, the window still has all its functionality; it can be opened and closed, to pass the maximum amount of light or maximum dimming. The user will be able to decide how, when and for what to use the window. Precisely, that the invention proposes to fasten solar panels on the jalousies installed in a window frame. Thus the functionality of the window remains and is supplemented with new functions; it is possible to dose the flow of light coming into the house and most importantly develop electrical energy for their own needs.
The essence of the invention lies in the fact that the jalousies are installed in the structure of the window frame. A number of solar panels consistently is fasten on the surface of lamella jalousies, which are turned outwards of the building. The light falls on the solar panels and produces electricity, from which home appliances with low energy can be powered. The jalousies in a device have a dual regulatory function. They allow the user to dispense the amount of light entering the house, as well as the amount of electricity generated by solar panels.
The solar panels fasten on the jalousies installed in the double glazed window create the most effective and environmentally friendly complex for installation in window openings of residential and industrial buildings.
The invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 shows the jalousies inside the frame with a control mechanism, placed between glass frames window with double glazed with solar panels fasten on lamella jalousies for the purpose of electric power extraction.
Figure 2 shows an alternative arrangement of the invention; namely jalousies with a control mechanism, with solar panels fasten on lamella jalousies for the purpose of electric power extraction are placed next to the previously installed glass frames with double glazed windows.
In figure 1, the rays of sunlight (11), from the outside of the frame (I), penetrate through the glass (2) and fall on solar panels (4) which are fasten on horizontal lamella jalousies (5) generate electricity. Depleted electricity (Ui) comes to energy storage (10), conventionally depicted as a condenser. In this device the vertical metal rods (3) have openings that are hinged joint attached to the attachments of horizontal lamella jalousies (5) thus when the vertical displacement of only one of them, the jalousies could be opened or closed.
Also vertical rods (3) have a metal base and have a dual function; regulates the rotation of jalousies and serves as a conductor of electrical energy from solar panels (4) to the energy storage (10). All vertical metal rods are connected to the upper cornice which is a standard mechanism for regulation of rotation of jalousies.
This camera is a standard Double Glazing (6) air or gas (argon, krypton, xenon, and mixtures thereof, etc.) has a function of the casing. An airp roof structure, it reliably and at a great time protects the device and other mechanisms of getting foreign objects, as well as protects them from dust.
The elements -(7) standard insulator of a double-glazed window, (8) internal part of the window and (9) cameras of standard frame of a double-glazed window are depicted for illustrative examples and refer only to the standard elements of a frame with glass and they do not bear in the device of additional functions.
In figure 2, the rays of sunlight (6), from the outside of the frame (9), penetrate through one or more glass from already previously installed window (2) and fall on solar panels (4) which are fasten on horizontal lamella jalousies (5) generate electricity.
Depleted electricity (Ui) comes to energy storage (10), conventionally depicted as a condenser. In this device the vertical metal rods (3) have openings that are hinged joint attached to the attachments of horizontal lamella jalousies (5) thus when the vertical displacement of only one of them, the jalousies could be opened or closed.
Also vertical rods (3) have a metal base and have a dual function; regulates the rotation of jalousies and serves as a conductor of electrical energy from solar panels (4) to the energy storage (10). All vertical metal rods are connected to the upper cornice, which is a standard mechanism for regulation of rotation of jalousies.
In this device, the role of the casing, which protects the device and other mechanisms from getting foreign objects, as well as protects them from dust is more an internal frame device (7), which is installed from the inside of the frame (8) (from home base) and glass (1) from internal frame device.
Key for drawings The application shall be accompanied by two figures on two separate pages: Figure 1 shows, the jalousies inside the frame with a control mechanism, placed between glass frames window with double glazed with solar panels fasten on lamella jalousies for the purpose of electric power extraction.
Figure 2 shows, an alternative arrangement of the invention; namely jalousies with a control mechanism, with solar panels fasten on lamella jalousies for the purpose of electric power extraction are placed next to the previously installed glass frames with double glazed windows.
