TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a generator having at least one flap provided between at least one inner layer and at least one outer layer, and at least one solar cell positioned at the side of said flap which faces the sun and which enables electricity generation.

PRIOR ART

There are structures like door and window which are opened outwardly in buildings like houses, workplaces, etc. Such structures are the weakest locations of the buildings in terms of thermal insulation. Thermal loss leads to approximately 10% energy consumption at the windows. Windows have unfavorable effects in terms of energy consumption in the long term.

Energy saving can be provided by means of a window having no heat loss. This condition is substantially important both in terms of your budget planning and reduction of the consumable energy sources. Therefore, double or triple layered glasses are used in the present art. Double layered glasses, where less heat loss occurs when compared with normal glasses, prevent exiting of the air therein to outside and entering of the outside air to inside thanks to the air gap provided between the two glasses. Additionally, this system, which also provides sound insulation, also has a three layered version. Thermal and sound insulation in three-layered glasses is greater. As the number of glasses increases, the thickness and the air gap number provided between the layers increase. Thanks to this, twolayered insulation is provided, and the amount of cold air entering the house is reduced.

Today, not only thermal loss is prevented but also electricity is generated in window technology. Solar panel is an energy source which has various solar cells thereon which absorb solar energy. Studies of integration of solar panels with windows have been begun.

The application with no CN 104060733 known in the literature belongs to architectural design area and relates to a curtain wall structure, particularly a photovoltaic curtain wall structure. Photovoltaic curtain wall structure can meet the working medium temperature and the thermal comfort needs of the building simultaneously without increasing energy consumption of the building. In this structure, there are two glasses and a gap structure between the two glasses and a sunshade structure provided in this gap. Sunshade is configured to accumulate solar energy in the form of a different energy type.

As a result, because of the abovementioned problems, an improvement is required in the related technical field.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a generator for use in buildings, for eliminating the abovementioned disadvantages and for bringing new advantages to the related technical field.

An object of the present invention is to provide a generator for use in electricity generation and heating in buildings.

In order to realize the abovementioned objects and the objects which are to be deducted from the detailed description below, the present invention is a generator having at least one flap provided between at least one inner layer and at least one outer layer, and at least one solar cell positioned at the side of said flap which faces the sun and which enables electricity generation. Accordingly, the improvement of the present invention is that the air, which exists between said inner layer and said outer layer and which is heated by sunlight, is absorbed by means of at least one compressor and is used in heating the water which exists in a tank, and air is provided instead of the absorbed air by a feeder. Thus, while electricity is produced by means of the generator from one side, water is heated from the other side.

In a possible embodiment of the present invention, at least one intermediate layer, whereon the flap is positioned, is provided between the inner layer and the outer layer. Thus, the gap between the inner layer and the outer layer is divided into two and thermal passage is reduced and the flaps can be positioned thereon.

In another possible embodiment of the present invention, the flap is at least partially rotatable on said intermediate layer depending on the solar angle. Thus, the solar cells can utilize the solar rays in the best manner, and at the same time, light can enter the inner part of the building. In another possible embodiment of the present invention, at least one channel is provided for enabling air movement. Thus, air passages between the inner layer and the outer layer are facilitated.

In another possible embodiment of the present invention, the subject matter generator is positioned in the window frame of the building. Thus, the windows are functioning as a generator.

In another possible embodiment of the present invention, the subject matter generator is positioned on the outer wall of the building. Thus, building walls are functioning as a generator.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In this detailed description, the subject matter is explained with references to examples without forming any restrictive effect only in order to make the subject more understandable.

In Figure 1 , a representative perspective view of the subject matter generator (1) is given. Accordingly, said generator (1 ) is particularly positioned at the outer walls and at the parts opened to the outer walls and provides obtaining electrical energy and thermal energy from the sun. The building mentioned in the present invention can be a house, office, university, school, hospital, etc. Said generator (1) is positioned at the outer part of such buildings or at window, door gaps and can generate energy from sunlight.

The subject matter generator (1) has at least one inner layer (10) and at least one outer layer (20). There is at least one intermediate layer (30) which can be positioned between said inner layer (10) and said outer layer (20). Said inner layer (10), said outer layer (20) and said intermediate layer (30) are essentially tempered glasses and they have light permeability. A volume with delimited air flow is formed between the inner layer (10) and the outer layer (20). A gas like air or argon gas mixture can be put between the inner layer (10) and the outer layer (20). Thanks to this, the gap can be heated in a more rapid manner. On the intermediate layer (30), the volume which exists between the inner layer (10) and the outer layer (20) is divided into two sections, and thereby, thermal and sound permeability is reduced.

In Figure 2, a representative zoomed view of the subject matter generator (1 ) is given. Accordingly, at least one flap (31) is provided on the intermediate layer (30). Pluralities of flaps (31) can be provided horizontally or vertically on the intermediate layer (30). While the flap (31) functions as a curtain from one side, it enables electricity generation from the other side. At least one solar cell (32) is positioned in a manner covering at least one part of the flaps (31 ). The solar cell (32) is a photovoltaic tool which transforms sunlight into electrical current. When sunlight falls onto the solar cells (32) which function according to photovoltaic principle, direct current is generated. While photovoltaic solar cells (32) generate electricity within the daytime, at least one capacitor (33) provides saving. Capacitor (33) is an element known in the art and provides increase of the efficiency of electricity production from solar cells (32).

Flaps (31) can realize rotational movement with respect to the flaps (31) between 0 ^e -120 ^e during the day in accordance with the density of sunlight and the user’s desire. In order to provide this, the flap (31) is connected to at least one sensor (34). Said sensor (34) provides detection of the falling angle of the sunlight onto the flap (31) and provides positioning of the flaps (31) in the most efficient position. This movement of the flaps (31 ) is provided by means of one each drive arms and a drive element. Said drive element and the sensor (34) are controlled by means of a control unit (not shown in the figures).

The air between the inner layer (10) and the outer layer (20) becomes hot depending on sunlight. The heated air is used in heating water. In order to provide this, the generator (1) is connected to a tank (38) by means of at least one compressor (36). There is water, which is desired to be heated, in said tank (38). The compressor (36) provides absorption of the hot air, which exists between the inner layer (10) and the outer layer (20), and provides applying of said hot air to the tank (38). There is at least one channel (35) between the inner layer (10) and the outer layer (20) in order for the compressor (36) to realize air absorption between all flaps (31). Said channel (35) is provided in an opening form which provides absorption of the air which exists between the flaps (31). By means of contacting the hot air to the water which exists in the tank (38), the heated water can be used for heating the building or for daily needs. Air must be provided between the inner layer (10) and the outer layer (20) instead of the air absorbed by the compressor (36). In order to provide this, the volume which exists between the inner layer (10) and the outer layer (20) is connected with at least one feeder (37). In a possible embodiment of the present invention, said feeder (37) can be an element like a single-directional valve or an air pump. Thanks to this, vacuum effect of the absorbed air is prevented.

In a possible usage of the present invention, the sunlight enters through the inner layer (10) and reflects to the flaps (31 ) provided on the intermediate layer (30). The sensor (34) where the flap (31) is connected detects the contact angle of the sunlight to the flap (31 ) and warns the control unit. Depending on this, the flaps (31) are positioned in predetermined manner by the drive element. Moreover, it has to be mentioned that the angle of the flaps (31 ) on the intermediate layer (30) can be manually changed by the user as needed. Electricity is generated from the solar rays by means of solar cells (32) provided on the flaps (31). While doing this, heating of the air which exists in the volume between the inner layer (10) and the outer layer (20) is also provided. The heated air is absorbed and compressed by the compressor (36) and is used in heating the tank (38). Air is fed by the feeder (37) instead of the absorbed air, and thereby balance is provided. This structure mentioned in the invention can be positioned on a window frame and can also be positioned on the wall part outside the building.

Together with all these embodiments, electricity is generated and at the same time, water is heated via sunlight by means of the generator (1). Moreover, by means of the three-layered structure of the generator, better thermal and sound insulation can be made. By means of this, the energy efficiency of the system is increased.

The protection scope of the present invention is set forth in the annexed claims and cannot be restricted to the illustrative disclosures given above, under the detailed description. It is because a person skilled in the relevant art can obviously produce similar embodiments under the light of the foregoing disclosures, without departing from the main principles of the present invention.
