Convex or concave transparent covering of horizontal roofs has upper film, middle film or plate and lower film or plate whose convex curvature runs toward middle film
Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.
This patent describes a specialized transparent roofing system for flat or horizontal roofs, consisting of multiple layers (films or plates) arranged with specific convex or concave curvatures relative to each other. The structure typically includes an upper film, a middle film or plate, and a lower film or plate, with the curvature directed toward the middle layer. The design serves to enhance thermal insulation, prevent undesirable condensation and dripping, regulate the interior climate, and support efficient drainage of water from the roof surface.
Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.
- Transparent or translucent roofs on large-scale commercial or industrial buildings.
- Greenhouses requiring optimized light transmission and climate regulation.
- Sports venues or stadiums with retractable or fixed transparent coverings.
- Atriums and shopping malls seeking natural lighting.
- Energy-efficient roofing for airport terminals and public transport facilities.
- Swimming pool covers that reduce condensation and heat loss.
- Office buildings or museums with large horizontal glass roofs.
BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.
- Greatly improved thermal insulation, reducing energy costs for heating and cooling.
- Effective management of condensation, preventing water droplets from falling inside the building.
- Enhanced stability and structural integrity, even for large spans and flat roofs.
- Optimized transmission of natural light while controlling heat gain/loss.
- Adaptable climate regulation including cooling by leveraging water evaporation or heating for snow melting.
- Reduced material usage and construction complexity compared to traditional domed structures.
- Increased design flexibility (choice of materials, geometry, and transparency).
