When the temperature adjustment window 1 of the present invention is exposed to sunlight, the metal window frame 10 transfers heat to the liquid storage tanks disposed in the metal window frame 10, so that the liquid storage tanks The temperature of the hydrocarbon liquid rises.

According to the above description, when the temperature of the first liquid storage tank 15 rises such that the temperature of the first hydrocarbon liquid reaches or approaches the boiling point, the air pressure in the first liquid storage tank 15 rises and makes the first Hydrocarbon liquid via the first A connecting tube flows and fills the first glass layer 11 such that the first glass layer 11 exhibits the first color, and the suspended matter in the first glass layer 11 causes the first glass layer 11 to transmit light. The rate decreases; when the temperature of the second reservoir 16 rises such that the temperature of the second hydrocarbon liquid reaches or approaches the boiling point, the gas pressure in the second reservoir 16 rises and causes the second hydrocarbon Liquid flows through the second connecting tube and fills the second glass layer 12 such that the second glass layer 12 exhibits the second color, and the suspended matter in the second glass layer 12 causes the second glass The light transmittance of the layer 12 is lowered.

In the above, when the temperature of the third liquid storage tank 17 rises such that the temperature of the third hydrocarbon liquid reaches or approaches the boiling point, the gas pressure in the third liquid storage tank 17 rises and causes the third hydrocarbon Liquid flows through the third connecting tube and fills the third glass layer 13 such that the third glass layer 13 exhibits the third color, and the suspended matter in the third glass layer 13 causes the third glass The light transmittance of the layer 13 decreases; when the temperature of the fourth liquid storage tank 18 rises such that the temperature of the fourth hydrocarbon liquid reaches or approaches the boiling point, the gas pressure in the fourth liquid storage tank 18 rises and causes The fourth hydrocarbon liquid flows through the fourth connecting tube and fills the fourth glass layer 14 such that the fourth glass layer 14 exhibits the fourth color, and the suspended matter in the fourth glass layer 14 The light transmittance of the fourth glass layer 14 is lowered.

In this case, it should be additionally noted that, in the present invention, a two-way check valve is disposed in each of the first connecting pipe, the second connecting pipe, the third connecting pipe, and the fourth connecting pipe, and the Two-way check valve has a valve The door spring is such that when the hydrocarbon liquid is to pass through the two-way check valve, the spring force of the valve spring is first overcome, that is, only when the gas pressure of the hydrocarbon liquid in the liquid storage tank is greater than that of the valve spring At the spring force, the hydrocarbon liquid can flow through the connecting tube and fill the glass layer. In this way, the two-way check valve can prevent the first hydrocarbon liquid, the second hydrocarbon liquid, the third hydrocarbon liquid and the fourth hydrocarbon liquid from being in the first connecting pipe and the second connecting The counterflow phenomenon occurs in the tube, the third connecting tube and the fourth connecting tube.

It can be known from the above that the temperature adjusting window 1 of the present invention sequentially fills the hydrocarbon-filled liquid according to the magnitude of the temperature change when the sunlight is continuously irradiated and the temperature rises continuously, and the temperature regulating window of the present invention The light transmittance of 1 will vary with different temperatures. For example, at 20 ° C, the first hydrocarbon liquid flows through the first connecting pipe and fills the first glass layer 11; at 28 ° C, the second hydrocarbon liquid flows and fills through the second connecting pipe The first glass layer 11 and the second glass layer 12 are filled with a hydrocarbon-filled liquid, and the second hydrocarbon liquid contains more suspended matter than the first hydrocarbon liquid. The suspended matter contained in the body is such that the light transmittance of the temperature-adjusting window 1 of the present invention at 28 ° C is lower than that at 20 ° C.

Therefore, when the sun is irradiated during the day and the temperature rises, the reservoir having a smaller specific heat will first bring the hydrocarbon liquid therein to or near the boiling point, so that the gas pressure in the liquid storage tank increases, thereby pushing the valve reed to make the valve The two-way check valve opens, allowing the hydrocarbon liquid to flow through the connecting tube and fill the glass layer. When the evening, night or weather is not good, causing the sun to weaken and the temperature to drop, the temperature of the reservoir with smaller specific heat will also drop first, and the temperature of the glass layer filled with the larger hydrocarbon liquid will be at this time. The rate of descent is slower, so the temperature is higher than the temperature of the reservoir.
