Description

The utility model relates to facade and interior devices that are color carriers. Such devices can comprehensively and successfully solve various technical problems:

- on the redistribution of energy of solar radiation;

- providing autonomous heating or cooling;

- decorative - opens up unlimited possibilities for applying color in the architecture and design of buildings and structures.

As a basis for devices using panels. Such panels have different purposes: for facing walls of facades, for glazing facade openings and window blocks, for facing internal walls, floors and ceilings of rooms. Panels are also used for roofing, visors, arbors, fences, partitions, etc.

It is known to fill a light opening, including elements of a translucent fence. The space between the elements is divided by a flexible translucent film into adjacent cavities. One cavity is connected with a container with a translucent medium. The other cavity is connected with a container with colored liquid (analogue is auth. St. USSR No. 4667986, IPC 6 Е06В 3/677, 1975).

The disadvantage of the device is the following:

- the presence of two adjacent cavities complicate the design, and increase the total internal volume of the glass;

- separating film complicates the design and assembly of the device, makes it difficult to ensure the tightness of the device;

- the film should be not only flexible, but also flexible (otherwise wrinkles will form in the corners). This factor can lead to sagging of the film, where some of the colored liquid will remain during operation;

- in order to completely displace the colored liquid from the cavity, it is necessary to create a certain pressure in the system. Such an increase in pressure will work to break and may lead to depressurization of the device;

- the device uses two fluids, which doubles the total volume, weight and cost of the device

Known devices aimed at improving performance and providing automatic control of the light filling device (see AS USSR No. 467986, IPC 6 ЕВВ 3/677, 1975, AS USSR No. 1232771, IPC 4 Е06В 9/24, 1986 and No. 1534179, IPC 5 ЕВВ 9/24, 1990).

The disadvantage is the complexity of the devices, the use of several circuits filled with liquids with different parameters.

Known multilayer color-changing material containing:

- transparent or translucent top layer,

- the first color layer containing two layers of flexible film,

- a second color layer containing two layers of flexible film,

- the third color layer containing two layers of flexible film,

- the fourth color layer containing two layers of flexible film,

- the fifth color layer containing two layers of flexible film

- back layer.

Each of the color layers (first to third) is connected to a reservoir device for the color fluid. The reservoir device delivers color fluid from the color fluid reservoir into the space between two layers of flexible film. The reservoir device drains the color fluid from the space between the two layers of flexible film back into the reservoir for the color fluid. The fourth color layer is connected to the reservoir device for liquid black. The black fluid reservoir provides black fluid to the space between the two layers of flexible film and drains the black fluid from the space between the two layers of flexible film back to the black fluid reservoir. The fifth color layer is connected to a transparent liquid reservoir device. This reservoir provides the supply of transparent liquid from the reservoir device for transparent liquid into the space between two layers of flexible film and the discharge of transparent liquid from the space between two layers of flexible film back (analogue - RF application No. 2013148479/12, IPC G09F 9/37 (2006.01) , 2015).

The disadvantage of this device is the presence of five layers of elastic film to fill the cavities between them with colored liquid. The device provides for the use of only one back, hard sheet, the remaining layers are elastic of polyethylene. Thus, when filling one layer with liquid, it is impossible to maintain a uniform gap between two elastic films. This design leads to the formation of a bubble on the outside of the device, especially if it is located vertically. The device is complex in design and difficult to implement in practical implementation.

Famous color liquid curtain. In a curtain, two sheets of glass, plastic or similar transparent material are placed parallel to each other. In the interval between the sheets, a colored liquid is injected with full or partial filling. The edges of the sheets are suitably sealed with rubber, silicone or the like to prevent fluid outflow. A pump, a movable piston, or the like is used to pump and remove said fluid. Additionally, a heating element can be used, as a result of which a colored or transparent liquid can be heated to the desired temperature. In this case, the curtain can function as a thermal curtain (analogue - WO 8803518, IPC A47N 23/00; ЕВВ 9/24, 1988)

Disadvantage: this device does not provide fluid circulation. Pumping and filling with a liquid takes a lot of time and does not allow smoothly changing the temperature and color characteristics of the liquid.

Known panel for buildings with remote control of water circulation. The panel contains two glass sheets with liquid in between. The temperature and color characteristics of the fluid vary. Between the two glass sheets installed in the frame, a closed loop is formed along which fluid with variable characteristics circulates. Fluid characteristics are controlled using a programmable remote control. Two tempered glass panels are inserted into stainless steel frames and sealed with self-hardening gaskets. Closed loop fluid circulation is provided by execution mechanisms from the remote control. The liquid is deionized and purified water before entering the circuit. The panel can be connected to a solar battery (see patent FR 2646863, IPC 7 Е04В 1/00; Е04В 1/74; Е04С 2/54; F24J 2/04; F24J 2/46, 1990) This decision was taken as a prototype .

The disadvantages of the prototype include:

- the use of ordinary deionized and purified water before entering the circuit. Its operating temperature is close to that of ordinary water (see (http://www.aquaros.ru/). The use of such water is problematic in the extreme south or extreme north.

- increased fire hazard. From temperature overheating, the glasses burst, water already at 100 ° C boils and evaporates. Air enters the room, which enhances the fire.

- a heat exchanger is not provided, which due to the effective change in the temperature of the liquid can cool or heat the glass.

The objective of the utility model is to expand the temperature range of operation of the device and ensure fire safety. Using the device will ensure the comfort of living and adjusting the color, lighting and temperature of the facade of the building and its interior.

The problem is achieved in that in the known device with a fluid circulation for adjusting the color, lighting and temperature of the facade of the building and its premises, containing a panel made of at least two sheets, hermetically connected around the perimeter of the frame and forming a closed loop filled with liquid with variable controlled characteristics in temperature, color and volume, while the panel is connected to mechanisms for controlling the characteristics of the liquid, and the outer sheet of the panel is made of glass, in accordance with utility model, propylene glycol is used as the working fluid, the panel sheets are additionally interconnected at separate points, and a heat exchanger is introduced into the control mechanisms.

The inner sheet is made of monolithic polycarbonate.

The inner sheet is made of alucobond.

The inner sheet is made of frosted glass.

The inner sheet is made of glass.

The outer sheet is made of frosted glass.

The connection points of the panel sheets to each other are located on a grid of 600 × 600 for sheets of glass 4 mm, and 800 × 800 for sheets of glass 6 mm.

A sheet of glass is coated on the outside with an armored film.

The control mechanisms consist of interconnected fluid containers, pumps, supply pipe, return pipe, heat exchanger, heating and / or cooling device, circulation pump, sensors for monitoring the state of the liquid.

The technical result from the use of all the essential features of a utility model is to expand the temperature operational characteristics of the device. The technical result from the use of all the essential features of a utility model is also to increase the fire safety of the device. At the same time, the use of the device provides comfortable living and adjusts the color, lighting and temperature of the facade of the building and its interior.

Propylene glycol has the following characteristics:

- boiling point - (+ 187.4 ° C),

- freezing temperature - (-60 ° C),

- non toxic

- has no color and smell.

The main characteristics of propylene glycol are given on the website http://www.himavangard.ru/paqes/propilenglikol. The listed properties of propylene glycol provide an expansion of the temperature operational characteristics of the device and increase fire safety when used as a liquid for filling panels. The use of propylene glycol (since this liquid is non-toxic) allows you to maintain a comfortable stay and to ensure the color, lighting and temperature of the facade of the building and its interior.

The points of connection of the sheets are a kind of "bridges" transmitting the temperature between the sheets and along the way with a cooled liquid. If necessary, the temperature of the liquid can be controlled using a heat exchanger, which also affects the expansion of the temperature operational characteristics of the device. Between the sheets of the panel due to the height of the liquid column a voltage arises. The connection points of the sheets are necessary to relieve the specified voltage on the outer sheet made of glass to prevent glass breaking and increase the safety of operation of the device.

The armored film has a working temperature range from -25 ° C to + 135 ° C, which helps to expand the temperature operational characteristics and fire safety of the device. The presence of an armored film prevents the fragmentation of glass fragments, which also improves the safety of using the device.

Alucobond is a panel consisting of several layers. Usually between the sheets of aluminum of high strength is a filler made of synthetic polymer or high-pressure polyethylene foam. As you know, today on the market there are panels with an improved "filling", which includes aluminum hydroxide. This substance resists exposure to an open flame for 2 hours.

Monolithic polycarbonate has high strength and well transmits sunlight. It is used instead of glass and for the manufacture of protective screens. This is an almost perfect material with which you can make transparent curved surfaces. This material does not scatter into pieces during impact and absorbs energy of destruction well. It is 250 times stronger than ordinary glass and 10 times stronger than organic. The temperature during which the combustion of polycarbonate occurs is 5700 degrees Celsius. Even on an open fire, the material only melts, and after the cessation of the fire, the melting stops. Polycarbonate transmits light well (90%), which is comparable to plain glass. The material has a small specific gravity, and this can facilitate the supporting structure.

A liquid with enhanced heat-absorbing properties (propylene glycol) allows you to create essentially a "solar" battery. The presence of a heat exchanger allows you to adjust this temperature and use the excess heat for other purposes, for example, to heat water in the kitchen, in the bathroom. Thus, the presence of a heat exchanger provides an extension of the temperature operational characteristics of the device.

2. liquid (propylene glycol)

3. control unit

4. pump

5. supply pipe

6. closed loop

7. panel

8. return pipe

9. modular capacity

The device operates as follows.

The liquid tank 1 is filled with liquid 2. Using the control unit 3, the pump 4 is turned on and the closed loop 6 is filled through the nozzle 5. The closed loop 6 is located between the sheets of the panel 7 covered by the frame 20. The tank 1 can be supplemented by several modular containers located next to each other 9. After filling the closed loop 6, the liquid 2 through the return pipe 8 enters the tank 1, passes through the heat exchanger 10, then again enters the pump 4 - the process goes into the liquid circulation mode 2.

The heating device 11 or the cooling device 12 changes the temperature of the liquid 2 in the heat exchanger 10 by pumping the liquid with a circulation pump 13, through the coil 14. The liquid temperature sensor 15 and the air temperature sensor 16 through the control unit 3 allow you to automatically turn on either the heating device 11 or the cooling device 12 - depending on weather conditions.

To change the color of propylene glycol 2, color is added to the tank 1. Using the three primary colors "red", "blue", "yellow" you can achieve any desired color, its saturation and tone.

To remove propylene glycol 2 from the closed circuit 6 of panel 7, it is enough to stop the circulation mode by turning off the pump 4 and opening the air valve 17. Propylene glycol 2 will drain into container 1, panel 7 will take its original form.

To stop the flow of propylene glycol 2 from the closed loop 6 at any desired level, it is necessary to close the air valve 17 and the shutoff valve 18. The expansion tank 19 compensates for the pressure drops in the system.

On the plane of the sheets, additional points of connection 21 (for example, gluing) of the sheets to each other are provided. Connection points are performed on a 600 × 600 grid for 4 mm glass, and 800 × 800 for 6 mm glass. The connection points increase the efficiency of temperature control between the sheets and provide stress relief on the glass created by the height of the liquid column. Connection points are made of standard material.

The front part of the glass of the facade or interior panel is covered with an armored film 22.

The device uses a liquid (propylene glycol) with the following properties:

- good fluidity;

- transparent, colorless base;

- non-freezing properties;

- washing properties;

- non toxic;

- anti-corrosion properties;

- compatibility with color and other additives (see http://www.himavangard.ru/pages/propilenglikol).

Additives used:

- with heat-absorbing properties for the winter period,

- with reflective properties for the summer period,

- detergents that do not leave streaks on the glass,

- decorative additives.

Decorative functions in the system are provided by adding one color or another, or suspended particles to the circulating liquid. The possibilities of applying color and additional effects are not limited.

The device is single-chamber with an inner loop thickness of 2-3 mm, this reduces the amount of fluid used.

When applying fluid, a minimum pressure is applied. Capacity 1 is connected to the atmosphere, so the pressure in the system will be created only due to the height of the liquid column. To remove the liquid from the cavity, its natural property is used - fluidity, the fluid leaves by gravity, energy is not wasted for pumping it.

The device uses a well-known armored film, which is used both for gluing on car windows and window panes. Films are divided according to the degree of impact resistance, which allows you to choose the best option.

The basic principle of choosing an armored film - to fulfill its function - is to expand the operating temperature range and preserve the integrity of the glass both in volume impact and in point impact. The armored film restrains a point impact, and distributes the impact force over the entire area of the glass, holding parts of the glass together if the glass was broken. And even after the glass is broken, the film holds the pieces of glass quite firmly.

The device may contain several panels interconnected by pipelines, operate from one set of control mechanisms and be controlled by a single electronic controller. Such a device allows you to comprehensively and successfully solve both technical problems on the redistribution of energy of solar radiation, and decorative - it opens up unlimited possibilities for the use of color in architecture and design.

Panels come in several types

The front panel (type 1) consists of two sheets, an outer transparent and a back opaque. The panel is designed for facing buildings and structures, roofing and visors.

The front panel (type 2) is an ordinary transparent double-glazed window, which has an additional chamber several millimeters thick, designed to supply and circulate liquid. The panel is used in window blocks, in front and mansard glazing, in winter gardens, in the installation of canopies and arbors.

The interior panel (type 3) consists of two sheets, transparent front (or textured translucent) and rear opaque. The panel is intended for interior wall cladding.

The interior panel (type 4) consists of two sheets, a hardened front transparent (or matte) and a rear opaque. The panel is intended for internal cladding of floors and ceilings of premises, the installation of underfloor heating.

Panels filled with liquid perform several functions:

- First of all, they significantly increase fire safety and expand the temperature range of the device;

- Protection from sunlight and prying eyes. The panel can perform this function due to the color density of the liquid, from light haze to completely blocking the penetration of light into the room.

- Protection against thermal radiation. It also occurs due to the color density, reflective additives in the liquid and lowering its temperature in the tank 1 when the cooling device 12 is turned on.

- Protection against cold penetration. It occurs due to heat-absorbing additives in the liquid and an increase in its temperature in the tank 1 when the heating device 11 is turned on.

- Any technical function in the device is combined with a purely decorative function. The device has no limit on the use of color gamut, additional effects, from air bubbles to fluorescent particles in a liquid.

The surface, lined with facade or interior panels, is able to change color one on top of another within 20-30 minutes.

The proposed device is a new step in the development of solar systems, the transition to another level of energy efficiency. Buildings constructed using the device have an outer shell, a kind of "shell" that is sensitive to weather factors, changes color, absorbs, or reflects solar energy. The device is designed to expand the temperature range of application and increase fire safety, create comfortable conditions, change the look of a modern city, make it more dynamic, vibrant and colorful.

The device can be manufactured using known technologies and known materials and used in the field of construction.
