Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a curtain wall provided with a solar cell panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a curtain wall constituting an outer wall of a building, there is known a curtain wall in which a waist portion is formed between vertically adjacent windows, and the window portion has a function of taking in sunlight into a room. It has a function to improve the aesthetics of the building using stones, metal panels, etc., and does not have a lighting function.

[0003] Apart from solar cells incorporated in consumer electric products, the installation of solar panels for the purpose of power supply to buildings is performed separately from building materials such as roofing materials and wall materials. A gantry for mounting and an aluminum frame for mechanically reinforcing the natural environment when the solar panel is installed outdoors are used.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, since a frame and an aluminum frame are required to mount a solar cell panel on a building, the cost for the frame and the aluminum frame is included in the solar power generation system. That cost was high.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a curtain wall provided with a solar cell panel which can solve the above-mentioned problem.

[0006]

The inventor of the present invention focused on the fact that the above-mentioned curtain wall was composed of a window having a daylighting function and a waist having a function of improving the aesthetic appearance of the building. It has been found that the solar cell panel can be mounted on the curtain wall at a low cost by mounting the blind to be installed on the outdoor side and providing the solar cell panel on the blind.

In the present invention, a plurality of windows 3 and waist portions 4 having substantially the same height are alternately arranged vertically in the vertical direction between adjacent portions of the vertical frame member 2 on the indoor side. Windows 3
And a curtain wall having a waist portion 4, and a vertical guide groove 9 is formed in the window portion 3 of the vertical frame member 2 adjacent to the left and right sides and a portion closer to the outdoor side than the waist portion 4 so as to face each other and to be continuous in the longitudinal direction. The blind 7 provided with the solar cell panel 8 is provided along the opposed vertical guide grooves 9 so as to be vertically movable over a first position covering the waist 4 and a second position covering the window 3. A curtain wall provided with a solar cell panel characterized by the following.

[0008]

[Operation] Since the solar cell panel 8 is provided on the blind 7 for blocking the lighting of the window 3, the frame and the frame need not be provided unlike the conventional case, and the cost can be reduced. In addition, since the blind 7 is provided closer to the outdoor side than the window 3 and the waist 4, the solar cell panel 8 is irradiated with sunlight regardless of whether the blind 7 is in the first position or the second position. The solar cell panel 8 can convert sunlight energy into electric power even when the solar cell panel 8 is covered or when the window 3 is opened. Also,
The blind 7 moves up and down smoothly along the vertical guide groove 9 of the vertical frame member 2.

[0009]

[Embodiment] As shown in FIG. 1, a curtain wall 1 has windows 3 and waist portions 4 of substantially the same height alternately arranged vertically between vertical frame members 2 adjacent on the left and right sides. Reference numeral 3 denotes a light transmitting function provided with a light transmitting panel 5 made of glass or the like. A blind 7 is externally vertically movable between the left and right vertical frame members 2. The blind 7 has a solar cell panel 8, and the height of the blind 7 is slightly smaller than the height of the waist 4. It is vertically movable over a first position covering the waist 4 and a second position covering the window 3.

The vertical frame member 2 has a hollow cross-sectional shape as shown in FIG. 2, and vertical guide grooves 9 are formed on both left and right sides of an outdoor protruding portion 2a protruding from the window portion 3 and the waist portion 4 to the outdoor side. The blinds 7 are respectively formed and are fitted and supported so as to be vertically movable along the vertical guide grooves 9 of the vertical frame member 2 adjacent to the left and right. Note that a friction material may be provided in this fitting portion, or a roller may be provided to allow smooth sliding.

As shown in FIG. 3, the blind 7 has a solar cell panel 8 mounted in a concave portion 11 of a substrate 10 made of aluminum or the like, and a translucent plate 12 made of glass or the like attached to the front surface thereof.

As shown in FIG. 4, one end of the cable 13 is connected to the upper end of the blind 7 in the upper width direction, that is, to a portion facing the vertical guide groove 9 of the vertical frame member 2. Projecting from the hole 14 of the vertical guide groove 9 into the hollow portion 2b and wound around the drum 16 via the pulley 15,
Are driven to rotate by a motor 17, and the motor 17 is rotated forward, backward, and stopped by a switch (not shown) provided on the indoor side, thereby constituting a blind lifting mechanism. This blind raising / lowering mechanism is not limited to the above-described one, and the rope 13 may be extended to the indoor side and moved up and down manually, or a rack and a pinion may be used.

[0013]

[Effects of the Invention] Since the solar cell panel 8 is provided on the blind 7 that blocks the lighting of the window 3, the frame and
There is no need to provide a frame, and the cost can be reduced. In addition, since the blind 7 is provided closer to the outdoor side than the window 3 and the waist 4, the solar cell panel 8 is irradiated with sunlight regardless of whether the blind 7 is in the first position or the second position. The solar cell panel 8 can convert sunlight energy into electric power even when the solar cell panel 8 is covered or when the window 3 is opened. The blind 7 moves up and down smoothly along the vertical guide groove 9 of the vertical frame member 2.
