Abstract

A construction thermoacoustic partition to isolate areas from external or internal environments, refrigeration, and vehicles. The partition consists of a frame with airtightly glued insulating panels, transparent or not. If glass pane, frame, and panels are glued, they create an airtight chamber where pressure, light and solar tracking sensors are located. In its internal perimeter it has photovoltaic cells and a blind whose sheets are photovoltaic cells that make it self-sufficient in energy. The profile of the frame has channels to circulate air, where electric resistance is located, which in winter raises the temperature of the panel edges, in another, fans, temperature sensors, micro-pump, wires and reinforcements are located. The horizontal planes that create these channels have coextruded thermoacoustic bridges. It has a microprocessor with automatic or digitally modified instructions, with voice and remotely, so that components act in real time, depending to changes in the environment, which can be with Artificial Intelligence.

A thermo-acoustic insulating construction partition comprising:

a frame (29) built with profiles having vertical and horizontal surfaces that form internal channels including a lower channel (2) and an upper channel (1) where an insulating inner panel (50) and an insulating outer panel (50′) are attached parallel to each other to vertical external surfaces of said upper channel (1) creating an airtight internal chamber (9) above said upper channel (1) and between said insulating inner panel and said insulating outer panel and the frame (29), said insulating inner panel and said insulating outer panel are transparent or non-transparent and are made from materials that are softer than a material from which the profiles were made;
a first horizontal surface, a second horizontal surface and a third horizontal surface, the lower channel (2) being enclosed by said first horizontal surface and said second horizontal surface and the upper channel (1) being enclosed by said third horizontal surface and said second horizontal surface, the airtight internal chamber (9) being located above said third horizontal surface, wherein said first, second, and third horizontal surfaces have flexible joints (10) that are coextruded with said first, second and third horizontal surfaces and said flexible joints (10) are made from a material that is softer than a material from which the horizontal surfaces were made;
photovoltaic cells (13) attached to internal surfaces of the frame (29) that enclose the airtight internal chamber (9), where temperature sensors (5), pressure and luminance sensors (17), and a solar tracking sensor (21) are located inside the airtight internal chamber (9);
an electric resistance (23) located inside the upper channel (1);
thermal sensors (5) attached to external surfaces of the insulating inner panel (50) and the insulating outer panel (50′) and adjacent to an upper internal side void (18) and an upper external void (18′), respectively, wherein the thermal sensors (5) communicate with pressure and luminance sensors (17) to control fans (14), to open an air inlet grid (6) and an air outlet grid (7) for convection or forced ventilation of air, and to lower or raise a blind (40) and a solar tracking sensor (21);
a microprocessor (27) located in the lower channel (2) or in the upper internal side void (18) and being connected to said thermal sensors (5), said pressure and luminance sensors (17), and said solar tracking sensor (21), wherein said microprocessor (27) is configured to receive information from said thermal, pressure and luminance, and solar tracking sensors and actuate said fans (14), said air inlet grid (6), said air outlet grid (7), said blind (40) and said solar tracking sensor (21);
said fan (14), and said electric resistance (23) are connected to the photovoltaic cells (13) and to the microprocessor (27);
