Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building corridor curtain wall technology, and in particular to an installation method for a time-zone type circular platform curtain wall. Background Technology

[0002] To ensure connectivity between two independent buildings, connecting corridors are typically installed. These corridors are usually linear, with glass curtain walls on both sides and enclosed top and bottom. However, when the corridor is long or extra-wide, insufficient lighting or ventilation may occur. Some existing sky corridors use glass curtain walls at the bottom or top, with ventilation openings at the top to address these issues. But with the increasing demand for aesthetically pleasing corridors that also consider lighting and ventilation, the design and installation of the curtain wall when the corridor has a central circular opening at the top and bottom requires specific consideration. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides an installation method for a time-zone circular platform curtain wall, which solves the technical problems of time-zone design, installation and fixed connection of the curtain wall when the middle of the connecting corridor is a circular opening.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An installation method for a time zone-division circular pedestal curtain wall, wherein the time zone-division circular pedestal curtain wall is installed in the middle of the length of an aerial corridor and extends beyond the top of the corridor. The time zone-division circular pedestal curtain wall includes time zone curtain wall units, each containing a set of curtain wall glass. The curtain wall glass is trapezoidal and obliquely arranged. Each set of curtain wall glass has 24 units corresponding to 24 time zones, forming a truncated cone shape with a smaller top and a larger bottom. A time zone pointer is also installed at the top of the curtain wall glass, and the projection of the time zone pointer is projected onto the outer surface of the curtain wall glass. The specific steps for installing a time-zone circular pedestal curtain wall are as follows: Step 1: Pre-construct the main buildings on both sides, and set up a connecting corridor between the two main buildings; the connecting corridor includes a lower connecting corridor and an upper connecting corridor. Step 2: When constructing the lower and upper connecting corridors, reserve space for installing time zone curtain wall units until the main buildings on both sides are completed; the lower and upper connecting corridors are respectively equipped with lower floor sloping walls and upper floor sloping walls. Step 3: After the main building is installed, construction is carried out in conjunction with the CAD detailed drawings and BIM 3D model of the time zone curtain wall unit; curtain wall keel is installed on the sloping walls of the lower and upper floors, with each curtain wall keel corresponding to a one-to-one correspondence with the curtain wall glass. Step 4: Install the curtain wall glass onto the installed curtain wall keel using curtain wall connectors, and verify the installation position of the curtain wall glass using the four-corner positioning method until it meets the design installation positioning accuracy requirements; in this way, install the twenty-four curtain wall glass pieces in sequence to form a frustum shape; Step 5: A pointer wall is installed at the top of the upper connecting corridor, and a time zone pointer is installed on the pointer wall; the projection of the time zone pointer falls on the outer surface of the time zone curtain wall unit, so that it can represent the time by observing the changes in the length and azimuth of the shadow in a sundial manner. Step 6: Install aluminum panels at the top and bottom of the curtain wall glass for decoration and sealing, thus completing the installation of the time-zone circular curtain wall.

[0005] Furthermore, the lower connecting corridor is a concrete structure and is formed by the bottom floor slab and the top floor slab; the lower connecting corridor is also equipped with a lower floor sloping wall near the end of the time zone curtain wall unit. The lower floor sloping wall is set between the bottom floor slab and the top floor slab, and the slope of the lower floor sloping wall corresponds to the setting of the curtain wall keel to be installed.

[0006] Furthermore, the upper-level connecting corridor is a concrete structure consisting of a ground floor slab and a top floor; the upper-level connecting corridor also has an upper-floor sloping wall near the end of the time zone-style curtain wall unit.

[0007] Furthermore, the curtain wall glass is insulated glass, and adjacent curtain wall glass are set at an angle, with the angle adapted to the design angle; sealant and glass rod are set on the side of the angle away from the curtain wall keel; projection marks are also set on the outdoor surface of the curtain wall glass, and the projection marks correspond to the projection position of the time zone pointer at the design time of each day or the projection position of the design hour on the day of the twenty-four solar terms of the year.

[0008] Furthermore, the curtain wall keel is a rectangular piece, and a channel steel piece is vertically installed at the bottom of the curtain wall keel; the curtain wall keel and the bottom channel steel piece are arranged in an L-shape; the protruding end of the channel steel piece is connected to the curtain wall glass.

[0009] Furthermore, a transition piece is provided at the top of the curtain wall keel. The transition piece is a channel steel piece, and the transition piece is T-shaped with the top of the curtain wall keel. A steel pipe is also connected horizontally and vertically to the side of the transition piece. The steel pipe is a right-angled trapezoidal piece, wherein the inclined surface of the right-angled trapezoidal piece is connected to the curtain wall glass.

[0010] Furthermore, the curtain wall keel is connected to the upper floor sloping wall and the lower floor sloping wall by embedded wall connectors, and at least one embedded wall connector is set in the middle of the lower floor sloping wall, and at least one embedded wall connector is set in the middle of the upper floor connecting corridor section of the upper floor sloping wall; at least one embedded wall connector is set in the upper floor sloping wall on the upper extension section above the upper floor connecting corridor.

[0011] Furthermore, wall-mounted components are also provided on the opposite side of the wall-mounted connector extending above the upper connecting corridor, and the wall-mounted components are connected to the handrail columns; the handrail columns are L-shaped, with the vertical and horizontal parts forming obtuse angles and both being obliquely oriented; protective glass is installed on the vertical part of the handrail columns.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are reflected in: This invention addresses the challenges of designing, installing, and securing a curtain wall with a continuous circular archway in the center of a connecting corridor. The use of sloping walls on both the lower and upper floors facilitates the installation of the curtain wall keel, providing a stable foundation and ensuring overall structural integrity. The time-zone arrangement of the curtain wall glass not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also facilitates installation and improves lighting efficiency. Furthermore, the inclusion of time-zone pointers and pointer-connected walls creates a sundial-like structure in the central curtain wall, enriching the structural options and ensuring installation stability through pointer-connected walls at the joints. Therefore, this application solves the technical problems of time-zone design, installation, and secure connection of curtain walls in connecting corridors with a circular opening in the center.
