[0038] A curtain wall according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 The present invention aims to provide an embodiment of a curtain wall, which can be a door and window curtain wall, an interior curtain wall, or a curtain wall for building exterior walls, and is particularly superior when used as a curtain wall for building exterior walls.

[0040] Structurally, this embodiment includes several frames 100 and several panels 110, which can be spliced ​​together to form a larger curtain wall. Adjacent frames 100 can also share some structures, thus using fewer frames 100 to fix more panels 110.

[0041] In this embodiment, panel 110 refers to a plate-like component, preferably glass, but it can also be various types of wood or stone slabs, depending on the user's needs. At the same time, the strength of frame 100 should be carefully calculated based on the size and weight of panel 110 to meet the usage requirements.

[0042] In this embodiment, the frame 100 includes two adjacent uprights 120 and two horizontal frames 530 located between the two uprights 120. One upright 120 holds one vertical edge of the panel 110, the other upright 120 holds the other vertical edge of the panel 110, one horizontal frame 530 supports the bottom edge of the panel 110, and the other horizontal frame 530 connects to the top edge of the panel 110.

[0043] In addition, in this embodiment, panels 110 are provided on both sides of the upright frame 120, and panels 110 are also provided on the top and bottom of the horizontal frame 530, thereby achieving structural sharing and making the structure more compact.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 For the frame 120, the frame 120 includes an inner clamping assembly 130, an outer clamping assembly 140 and a first screw 150.

[0045] The inner clamping assembly 130 includes a column 160 and an inner clamping body 170 installed on one side of the column 160, while the outer clamping assembly 140 includes an outer clamping body 180 and a reinforcing member 190 located inside the outer clamping body 180. A first screw 150 passes through the column 160 and the outer clamping body 180 and then connects to the reinforcing member 190. The inner clamping body 170 and the outer clamping body 180 are used to clamp the panel 110.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 In some specific embodiments of the present invention, two inner clamps 170 are provided, and the two inner clamps 170 are provided on opposite sides of the column 160. One inner clamp 170 is used to clamp a panel 110. Therefore, the number of inner clamps 170 can be adjusted as needed to adapt to differences in installation position.

[0047] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the inner clamping assembly 130 further includes an inner cover 200, which is connected to two inner clamping bodies 170. The inner cover 200 is located on the side of the column 160 facing away from the outer clamping body 180, thus preventing the column 160 from being exposed and making it easier to keep the interior side clean.

[0048] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the inner cover 200 has a first flat plate portion 210 and two first snap-fit ​​strips 220 located on the edge of the first flat plate portion 210. One first snap-fit ​​strip 220 snaps with an inner clamp 170. Thus, the flatness of the inner side is ensured by using the first flat plate portion 210, and the installation is simplified and the number of parts is reduced by using the two first snap-fit ​​strips 220.

[0049] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the first buckle strip 220 is located between the two inner clamps 170, thus satisfying the installation requirements and supporting the two inner clamps 170, preventing the two inner clamps 170 from getting close to each other on the side away from the panel 110, and preventing the panel 110 from failing to be clamped.

[0050] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the inner clamp 170 is provided with an inner adhesive strip 230, which contacts the panel 110, thereby tightly contacting the panel 110, isolating air and rainwater, preventing leakage and reducing heat transfer.

[0051] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the inner clamp 170 is provided with a first slot 240 for installing the inner adhesive strip 230, thereby passing the inner adhesive strip 230 through the first slot 240, reducing the installation difficulty, and in particular, reducing the operational difficulty when clamping the panel 110.

[0052] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the outer clamp 180 is provided with an outer adhesive strip 250, which contacts the panel 110, thus forming a second layer of seal to isolate external air and rainwater, reduce energy consumption, and at the same time reduce rainwater erosion.

[0053] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the outer clamp 180 is provided with a second slot 260 for installing the outer adhesive strip 250. Similarly, the outer adhesive strip 250 is inserted into the second slot 260 to reduce the installation difficulty, especially to reduce the operation difficulty when clamping the panel 110.

[0054] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a snap-fit ​​structure 270 is provided between the inner clamp 170 and the column 160. The snap-fit ​​structure 270 includes an inner snap-fit ​​groove 280 and an outer snap-fit ​​groove 290, which are arranged sequentially along the inner and outer directions of the panel 110. The snap-fit ​​structure 270 also includes an inner snap-fit ​​strip 300 corresponding to the inner snap-fit ​​groove 280 and an outer snap-fit ​​strip 310 corresponding to the outer snap-fit ​​groove 290. Therefore, through the two snap-fit ​​positions, the inner clamp 170 can be installed on the column 160 and can also bear the clamping force on the panel 110, making it less likely to loosen.

[0055] It should be noted that the inner card slot 280 and the outer card slot 290 are named according to the distance between the card slot on the indoor side and the panel 110. The specific location is shown in the figure. They are not distinguished by indoor and outdoor sides.

[0056] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the inner clamp 170 is provided with an inner locking strip 300 and an outer locking strip 310, and the column 160 is provided with an inner locking groove 280 and an outer locking groove 290.

[0057] As is easily understood, since the inner clamp 170 only clamps the panel 110, the inner clamp 170 has low stress strength. The inner clamp 170 can be made of a low-strength but high-toughness material, which allows the inner clamp strip 300 and the outer clamp strip 310 to deform, making installation convenient. Moreover, the high-strength column 160 is equipped with an inner clamp groove 280 and an outer clamp groove 290, which are not easily deformed, thus avoiding clamping failure.

[0058] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the opening direction of the inner slot 280 and the opening direction of the outer slot 290 are arranged opposite to each other, thereby avoiding the ribs of the inner slot 280 and the outer slot 290 from protruding outward from the column 160, and avoiding the ribs from being bent and damaged due to handling and stacking.

[0059] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, an elastic strip 320 is provided on the side of the outer card strip 310 away from the column 160, and the elastic strip 320 abuts against the edge of the outer card groove 290.

[0060] It is easy to understand that in this embodiment, by setting the elastic strip 320, on the one hand, after the inner clamp 170 is engaged with the column 160, the elastic strip 320 elastically supports the edges of the outer clamp 180 and the outer slot 290, preventing the inner clamp 170 from wobbling or sliding up and down relative to the column 160. On the other hand, it makes the inner clamp 170 and the inner slot 280 fit tightly together. Therefore, when the first screw 150 is applied and the inner clamp 170 and the outer clamp 180 clamp the panel 110, the inner clamp 170 is not easy to wobble or become displaced.

[0061] At the same time, when the elastic strip 320 is provided, the mating dimensions of the slot and the strip can be reduced. In particular, the size of the buckle mating can be reduced, the elasticity requirement of the strip can be lowered, and thus the rigidity of the inner clamp 170 can be guaranteed.

[0062] At the same time, when the elastic strip 320 is installed, air is prevented from being transmitted through the gap between the inner clamp 170 and the column 160, further reducing energy consumption.

[0063] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the inner clamp 170 is provided with a recess 330 for accommodating the elastic strip 320, so the elastic strip 320 can be first inserted into the inner clamp 170 to simplify the installation.

[0064] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the height of the outer clip 310 is greater than the height of the inner clip 300. Therefore, when the inner clamp 170 clamps the panel 110, the outer clip 310 and the outer clip groove 290 position the inner clamp 170 to prevent the inner clamp 170 from deflecting and causing clamping failure.

[0065] Meanwhile, the height of the outer clip 310 is greater than the height of the inner clip 300. Therefore, during installation, the outer clip 310 can be inserted into the outer clip slot 290 first, and then the inner clip 300 can be inserted into the inner clip slot 280, thus optimizing the installation method and making installation more convenient.

[0066] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the inner clamp 170 is provided with a platform 340, and the platform 340 is provided with an inner retaining strip 300. Therefore, the platform 340 can be used to increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the edges of the inner clamp 170 and the inner retaining groove 280, thereby enabling the column 160 to stably support the inner clamp 170.

[0067] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the inner clip 170 is shell-shaped, and an inner clip 300 and an outer clip 310 are provided on the outer side of the inner clip 170.

[0068] It is easy to understand that by making the inner shell shell-shaped, the outer contour of the inner shell shell can be increased, the specific position and size of the clamping panel 110 can be changed, the panel 110 can be prevented from loosening, and at the same time, the inner shell shell can be made thin-walled, reducing the weight.

[0069] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the inner clamp 170 has an inclined wall 350, which is located on the side of the inner clamp 170 away from the panel 110. One side of the inclined wall 350 is disposed near the inner cover 200, and the other side of the inclined wall 350 is disposed near the column 160.

[0070] Therefore, it is easy to understand that the inclined wall 350 can connect the side wall of the inner clamp 170 away from the column 160, thereby increasing the strength of the inner clamp 170. At the same time, it avoids the column 160, making it easier to install other parts on the column 160.

[0071] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the inner clamp 170 is a glass fiber reinforced composite material profile, which can reduce heat conduction through the panel 110.

[0072] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the outer clamp 180 is a glass fiber reinforced composite material profile, which can reduce the conduction of external heat.

[0073] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the column 160 is a metal profile, such as steel or aluminum, which can improve the strength of the column 160 and facilitate the installation of the inner clamp 170 and the outer clamp assembly 140.

[0074] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the column 160 is connected to the mounting bracket 360, which is fixed to the wall or column of the building, thereby fixing the frame 100 to the building and preventing the curtain wall from separating from the building.

[0075] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the mounting bracket 360 is L-shaped and has a vertical plate 370 that fits against the column 160 and a longitudinal plate 380 that connects the vertical plate 370. The vertical plate 370 is provided with bolts that connect to the column 160, and the longitudinal plate 380 is provided with bolts that connect to the building.

[0076] As is easily understood, this embodiment makes the mounting bracket 360 L-shaped, giving it a vertical plate 370 and a longitudinal plate 380. Therefore, the mounting bracket 360 can be easily connected to the column 160 and the building. At the same time, the disassembly and assembly method of the vertical plate 370 is the same as that of the first screw 150, simplifying the operation. The longitudinal plate 380 is mostly locked from top to bottom, making it less likely to loosen and improving the safety of the curtain wall.

[0077] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the column 160 is shell-shaped, the cross-section of the column 160 is rectangular, and the length direction of the cross-section of the column 160 is arranged along the inward and outward directions.

[0078] It is easy to understand that by improving the shape of the column 160, this embodiment can reduce the weight of the column 160, while ensuring the bending strength of the column 160 in the inward and outward directions, thereby improving the safety of the curtain wall.

[0079] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a first entity 390 and a first cavity 400 for accommodating the first entity 390 are provided between the column 160 and the outer clamp 180, and the first entity 390 and the first cavity 400 are positioned in cooperation.

[0080] As can be readily understood, this embodiment, by setting the first entity 390 and the first cavity 400, can conveniently position the outer clamp 180 on the column 160, avoid the outer clamp 180 from tilting, improve the consistency of installation, and when the first screw 150 is tightened, the outer clamp 180 is evenly stressed and is not easy to tilt.

[0081] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, one of the column 160 and the outer clamp 180 is provided with two side-by-side first ribs 410, which are used to form the first solid 390.

[0082] As is easily understood, this embodiment can easily form a first solid 390 by setting two first ribs 410, which meets the needs of use. At the same time, it simplifies the structure, facilitates manufacturing, and in particular, facilitates the use of profiles.

[0083] In this embodiment, the column 160 is provided with two first ribs 410. However, it is also possible to provide two first ribs 410 on the outer clamp 180, which is not difficult.

[0084] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, one of the columns 160 and the outer clamp 180 is provided with two parallel second ribs 420, and the space between the two second ribs 420 is used to form a first cavity 400.

[0085] Similarly, in this embodiment, by setting two second ribs 420, the first cavity 400 can be easily formed to meet the usage requirements. At the same time, it simplifies the structure, facilitates manufacturing, and in particular, facilitates the use of profiles.

[0086] Reference Figure 5 In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the outer clamp 180 has a T-shaped cross-section and has a lateral extension 430 and a longitudinal extension 440 connecting the middle of the lateral extension 430. The lateral extension 430 is provided with a receiving cavity 450 for accommodating the reinforcing member 190. The longitudinal extension 440 is located near the column 160. The first screw 150 passes through the longitudinal extension 440 and connects to the reinforcing member 190.

[0087] It is easy to understand that, in this embodiment, the outer clamp 180 can meet the positioning needs of the outer clamp 180 and the column 160 by providing the longitudinal extension 440. At the same time, by providing the lateral extension 430, it can meet the needs of clamping the panel 110 and can conveniently accommodate the reinforcing member 190, which simplifies the shape of the reinforcing member 190.

[0088] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the longitudinal extension 440 is hollow, which further reduces the weight of the outer clamp 180 and facilitates the use of profiles for manufacturing.

[0089] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the longitudinal extension 440 has two longitudinal walls 460 and a transverse wall 470 connecting the two longitudinal walls 460, with one side of the transverse wall 470 used to form a receiving cavity 450.

[0090] As is easily understood, the longitudinal extension 440 has two longitudinal walls 460 and two transverse walls 470, which can reduce the weight of the longitudinal extension 440 and facilitate lightweight design.

[0091] Moreover, the two longitudinal walls 460 are also easy to form two first ribs 410, reducing manufacturing difficulty.

[0092] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the reinforcing member 190 has two parallel longitudinal plate portions 480 and a transverse plate portion 490 connecting the two longitudinal plate portions 480. Thus, the longitudinal plate portions 480 and the transverse plate portion 490 provide support for the accommodating cavity 450, while the transverse plate portion 490 can be connected to the first screw 150 for fixing, resulting in a simple structure.

[0093] Meanwhile, the reinforcing member 190 can be made of metal profiles or sheet metal bending, reducing manufacturing difficulty.

[0094] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the transverse plate portion 490 is disposed close to the column 160, thereby allowing the first screw 150 to penetrate the transverse plate portion 490, facilitating the connection of the first screw 150. Furthermore, the normal thread of the first screw 150 is used to connect the transverse plate portion 490, improving the connection strength. At the same time, the first screw 150 is prevented from penetrating the outdoor side of the outer clamp 180, reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0095] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the outer clamp 180 is fitted with an outer cover 500, thereby forming a compliant appearance shape to meet the usage requirements, while reducing the manufacturing requirements of the outer clamp 180.

[0096] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the outer cover 500 includes a second flat plate portion 510 and a second fastening strip 520 located at the edge of the second flat plate portion 510. The second fastening strip 520 is fastened to the outside of the outer clamp 180, so that the outer clamp 180 can be completely covered, preventing the outer clamp 180 from being exposed and delaying aging.

[0097] In summary, firstly, by clamping the vertical edge of the panel 110, the clamped and fixed panel 110 is more durable and less prone to loosening compared to the direction of adhesive bonding.

[0098] Secondly, this embodiment uses an inner clamping component 130, an outer clamping component 140, and a first screw 150 to clamp the panel 110, making it secure, easy to lock, and less likely to come loose.

[0099] Next, by setting up an inner clamping component 130, an outer clamping component 140 and a first screw 150, this embodiment allows the outer clamping component 140 to be fixed to the inner clamping component 130 from the indoor side, without the need to tighten the first screw 150 from the outdoor side, so that the screw-driving operation is carried out indoors, improving operational safety.

[0100] Then, in this embodiment, by setting the inner clamping component 130, the inner clamping component 130 includes the column 160 and the inner clamping body 170 located on one side of the column 160. Therefore, the outer clamping component 140 can be pre-installed first, then the panel 110 is placed, then the inner clamping body 170 is installed, and finally the outer clamping component 140 is locked. There is no need to hoist the panel 110 from the outdoor side, and the risk of falling during the installation process is avoided. At the same time, there is no need to tighten the first screw 150 from the outdoor side. The entire installation process is carried out indoors, reducing the safety risks during installation and ensuring the safety of the operator.

[0101] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, by setting an outer clamping assembly 140, the outer clamping assembly 140 has an outer clamping body 180 and a reinforcing member 190 located inside the outer clamping body 180. Therefore, on the one hand, the strength of the outer clamping body 180 can be improved by setting the reinforcing member 190, which can effectively clamp the panel 110. On the other hand, the connection strength between the first screw 150 and the outer clamping assembly 140 can be improved, making it less likely to loosen.

[0102] Furthermore, by providing the reinforcing member 190, this embodiment can meet the strength requirements and also allows the outer clamp 180 to use heat-insulating materials, reducing heat conduction inside and outside the curtain wall and reducing energy consumption. Moreover, the reinforcing member 190 is located inside the outer clamp 180, and the first screw 150 passes through the outer clamp 180 to connect the reinforcing member 190, avoiding the first screw 150 and the reinforcing member 190 from being exposed, further reducing heat conduction, improving the energy-saving and heat-insulating index of the curtain wall, and at the same time delaying the aging of the first screw 150, further reducing the risk of the panel 110 loosening and falling off.

[0103] Furthermore, this embodiment simplifies the operation by providing a snap-fit ​​structure 270, which allows the inner clamp 170 to be easily installed on the column 160.

[0104] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​structure 270 has an inner snap-fit ​​strip 300, an outer snap-fit ​​strip 310, an inner snap-fit ​​groove 280, and an outer snap-fit ​​groove 290, and the outer snap-fit ​​strip 310 has an elastic strip 320 on one side. Therefore, when installing the inner clamp 170, the outer snap-fit ​​strip 310 can be snapped into the outer snap-fit ​​groove 290 first, and then the inner clamp 170 can be pressed, thereby squeezing the elastic strip 320 and increasing the gap between the inner snap-fit ​​strip 300 and the inner snap-fit ​​groove 280. This allows the inner snap-fit ​​strip 300 to easily enter the inner snap-fit ​​groove 280, and facilitates the installation of the inner clamp 170.

[0105] Furthermore, since this embodiment improves the installation method of the inner clamp 170, the installation of the inner clamp 170 does not depend on the elasticity of the inner clamp strip 300 and the outer clamp strip 310. Therefore, the size of the inner clamp strip 300 and the outer clamp strip 310 can be reduced, simplifying the structure of the frame 120 and reducing the volume of the frame 120. At the same time, the deformation of the inner clamp 170 relative to the column 160 is small, which can effectively clamp the panel 110 and prevent the panel 110 from loosening.

[0106] Furthermore, in this embodiment, by setting the elastic strip 320, the elastic strip 320 rebounds, causing the inner clamp 170 and the column 160 to be in close contact with the inner clip 300 and the inner clip groove 280. Thus, when the inner clamp 170 clamps the panel 110, the column 160 can reliably support the inner clamp 170, ensuring the effect of fixing the panel 110.

[0107] Furthermore, this embodiment also makes the rotational installation direction of the inner clamp 170 similar to the direction of the reaction force on the inner clamp 170 when it clamps the panel 110. Therefore, the inner clamp 170 is not easy to detach from the column 160, ensuring that the clamping effect of the panel 110 is reliable and effective.

[0108] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 For the horizontal frame 530, the horizontal frame 530 includes a horizontal beam 540 and a connector 550 connecting the horizontal beam 540 and the column 160. The connector 550 is L-shaped and includes a vertical plate 560 that fits against the column 160 and a horizontal plate 570 that connects the vertical plate 560. The vertical plate 560 is connected to the column 160 by bolts, and the horizontal plate 570 is used to support the horizontal beam 540.

[0109] It is easy to understand that, firstly, the vertical plate 560 and the column 160 are connected by bolts, which can prevent the connector 550 from falling down, so that the horizontal plate 570 can support the horizontal beam 540.

[0110] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the horizontal plate 570 and the horizontal beam 540 are connected by bolts, thereby locking the column 160 and the horizontal beam 540 and preventing the distance between the two columns 160 from changing.

[0111] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the cross frame 530 includes a crossbeam 540, the crossbeam 540 includes a first beam 580, and a support component 590 is provided on one side of the first beam 580 for supporting the panel 110.

[0112] As is easily understood, in this embodiment, by providing a support component 590 on one side of the first beam 580, the panel 110 can be supported, preventing the panel 110 from sliding down and also preventing the two panels 110 arranged vertically from being squeezed together.

[0113] Reference Figure 8 In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the support assembly 590 includes a support plate 600 of the support panel 110 and a support frame 610 that snaps onto the edge of the support plate 600. The support frame 610 abuts against the first beam 580, and the first beam 580 is provided with a second screw 620 for connecting the support frame 610.

[0114] As is easily understood, this embodiment makes the support assembly 590 have a tray 600 and a support frame 610. On the one hand, the tray 600 and the support frame 610 are separated into two parts, reducing manufacturing difficulty. On the other hand, it is convenient to replace them according to actual needs, reducing maintenance difficulty.

[0115] In addition, the support frame 610 is attached to the edge of the bracket 600, and the support frame 610 abuts against the first beam 580. It can be made of metal profiles, which simplifies the structure, meets the strength requirements, and the support frame 610 is not easily exposed, which also reduces heat transfer and helps to reduce energy consumption.

[0116] In summary, this embodiment, by setting up a crossbeam 540, which includes a first beam 580 and a support assembly 590, allows the second screw 620 to be operated from the indoor side, thus facilitating the installation of the support frame 610 and the support plate 600, replacing the outdoor installation method and reducing safety risks.

[0117] Furthermore, this embodiment provides a support frame 610 that engages with the edge of the tray 600 and abuts against the first beam 580. This allows for easy installation or removal of the tray 600, accommodating different combinations of the horizontal frame 530 and the vertical frame 120. For example, the different lengths of the support frame 610 and the tray 600 allow the tray 600 to span multiple panels 110, thus meeting usage requirements.

[0118] In addition, this embodiment sets up a support frame 610, which engages with the edge of the support plate 600 and abuts against the first beam 580. Therefore, space is reserved at the bottom of the support plate 600 to facilitate the arrangement of the heat-insulating support body 670, thereby reducing heat conduction and improving the energy-saving and heat-insulating index of the curtain wall.

[0119] Furthermore, the above-described arrangement in this embodiment also allows the support frame 610 to be manufactured using metal or metal profiles, thereby satisfying strength requirements while reducing space occupation, resulting in a compact structure and convenient arrangement.

[0120] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the first beam 580 is shell-shaped, and the cross-section of the first beam 580 is rectangular. The length direction of the cross-section of the first beam 580 is arranged along the inward and outward directions. Therefore, the first beam 580 and the first column 160 can maintain equal dimensions in the horizontal direction, avoiding the formation of steps. At the same time, it is convenient to arrange multiple fastening points on the connector 550 to improve the connection strength between the first beam 580 and the column 160.

[0121] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the first beam 580 is a metal profile, thereby allowing the second screw 620 to be installed properly and preventing the first beam 580 from twisting or deforming.

[0122] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the second screw 620 passes through the first beam 580 and connects to the support frame 610. Therefore, the installation of the support assembly 590 can also be completed indoors, improving operational safety.

[0123] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a second entity 630 and a second cavity 640 accommodating the second entity 630 are provided between the support frame 610 and the first beam 580. The second entity 630 and the second cavity 640 are positioned in cooperation, thereby preventing the support frame 610 from being misaligned with the first beam 580, preventing the second screw 620 from being subjected to shearing force in the vertical direction, and reducing the risk of damage.

[0124] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, one of the support frame 610 and the first beam 580 is provided with two side-by-side first protrusions 650, and the two first protrusions 650 cooperate to form a second entity 630.

[0125] In this embodiment, the first beam 580 is provided with two first protrusions 650. However, the support frame 610 can also be provided with two first protrusions 650 without difficulty.

[0126] It is easy to understand that this embodiment can reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the first beam 580, while reducing its weight and increasing its strength, making the first beam 580 less prone to deformation.

[0127] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, one of the support frame 610 and the first beam 580 is provided with two parallel second protrusions 660, and the space between the two second protrusions 660 is used to form a second cavity 640.

[0128] In this embodiment, the support frame 610 is provided with two second protrusions 660. However, the first beam 580 can also be provided with two second protrusions 660 without difficulty.

[0129] Equally easy to understand, this embodiment can reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the support frame 610, while reducing its weight and increasing its strength, making the support frame 610 less prone to deformation.

[0130] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the support assembly 590 further includes a support body 670, which is located at the bottom of the tray 600. The second screw 620 passes through the support frame 610 and connects to the support body 670. Therefore, the area of ​​the support tray 600 can be increased, and the risk of the tray 600 tilting vertically can be reduced.

[0131] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the support 670 is shell-shaped, thereby further reducing the weight.

[0132] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the support 670 is a glass fiber reinforced composite material profile, thereby avoiding the support frame 610 from being exposed, further reducing heat transfer, reducing energy consumption, and improving the energy-saving and heat-insulating effect of the curtain wall.

[0133] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a third entity 680 and a third cavity 690 accommodating the third entity 680 are provided between the support frame 610 and the support body 670. The third entity 680 and the third cavity 690 cooperate for positioning, thereby accurately positioning the support body 670, avoiding the direct transmission of the force on the support body 670 to the second screw 620, and preventing the support body 670 from tilting or even loosening.

[0134] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a snap-fit ​​structure 700 is provided between the third entity 680 and the third cavity 690, thereby facilitating the assembly of the support frame 610 and the support body 670 together, and then installing them on the first beam 580, reducing the installation difficulty, reducing the number of parts, and eliminating the need for additional screws connecting the support frame 610 and the support body 670.

[0135] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the support frame 610 is provided with two parallel third protrusions 710, and the two third protrusions 710 are used to form a third cavity 690. Therefore, it is easy to understand that increasing the horizontal dimension of the support frame 610 improves the overall rigidity of the support frame 610 and facilitates the support plate 600.

[0136] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the support body 670 is provided with a shoulder for abutting against the third protrusion 710. Therefore, it is easy to understand that the shoulder abuts against the third protrusion 710, thereby restricting the rotation of the support body 670. Thus, the support body 670 can support the tray 600 by using the support of the third protrusion 710, reducing the stretching and shearing of the second screw 620, making the support body 670 less prone to loosening and more durable.

[0137] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, two third protrusions 710 are arranged sequentially in the vertical direction, and the top of one third protrusion 710 is used to support the support plate 600. Thus, it is easy to understand that the support body 670 has a vertically symmetrical structure, which is easy to install and will not cause the problem of installation backwards.

[0138] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the support frame 610 is provided with a limiting edge 720, which is located at the top of the third protrusion 710. The limiting edge 720 and the third protrusion 710 clamp the edge of the tray 600, thus effectively engaging the tray 600 and improving the support stability.

[0139] Reference Figure 9 In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the crossbeam 540 further includes a second beam 730, which is disposed on the top of the first beam 580 and fixed to the first beam 580. A sealant is provided between the second beam 730 and the panel 110.

[0140] As is easily understood, this embodiment provides a second beam 730, and sealant is applied between the second beam 730 and the panel 110 to isolate air and moisture, reduce heat transfer, and at the same time lower the sealing requirements between the panel 110 and the support plate 600.

[0141] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the second beam 730 is a glass fiber reinforced composite material profile, thereby further reducing heat transfer, preventing light from heating the second beam 730, and also preventing light from heating the first beam 580.

[0142] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the second beam 730 has a first plate portion 740 that fits against the first beam 580 and a second plate portion 750 that stands vertically opposite the first plate portion 740. A sealant is provided between the second plate portion 750 and the panel 110. Therefore, on the one hand, the first plate portion 740 can be used to improve the fit between the second beam 730 and the first beam 580, which is convenient for installation and fastening. On the other hand, the sealant is provided by the second plate portion 750, which is easy to install and provides a reliable seal.

[0143] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the second beam 730 further includes a turning portion, the deflection portion connecting the first plate portion 740 and the second plate portion 750, thereby making the second plate portion 750 away from the first beam 580 and the support frame 610, so that the application of sealant and the installation of support frame 610 do not affect each other.

[0144] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the second beam 730 further includes a third plate portion 760, which is disposed opposite to the second plate portion 750. The third plate portion 760 connects to the side of the first plate portion 740 away from the second plate portion 750, thereby improving the strength of the second beam 730 and reducing the torsional deformation of the second beam 730.

[0145] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a limiting plate 770 is provided on the top of the first beam 580. The limiting plate 770 is located on the side of the third plate portion 760 away from the first plate portion 740, thereby effectively limiting the first beam 580 and avoiding misalignment during installation.

[0146] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the first beam 580 is provided with a transverse groove 780, which is used to accommodate the head of the second screw 620. Thus, by using the transverse groove 780, a hole can be accurately drilled on the first beam 580, which facilitates subsequent installation and also avoids the head of the second screw 620 being exposed, so as not to affect the disassembly and assembly of other parts.

[0147] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the cross frame 530 further includes an upper cover 790, which is snapped into the second beam 730. Thus, the upper cover 790 covers the second beam 730, preventing the second beam 730 from being exposed indoors and providing a good appearance.

[0148] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the upper cover 790 is provided with a snap-fit ​​edge 800 for snapping the second plate portion 750, thereby reducing material usage, lowering the height of the upper cover 790, and reducing the space occupied by the cross frame 530.

[0149] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the upper cover 790 is provided with a snap-fit ​​plate 810 for snapping onto the third plate portion 760, thereby utilizing the elasticity of the snap-fit ​​plate 810 to facilitate installation and reduce installation difficulty.

[0150] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the upper cover 790 is provided with an abutment plate 820 that abuts against the first beam 580. The abutment plate 820 abuts against the first beam 580 in the horizontal direction, thereby making the upper cover 790 cover the first beam 580 as much as possible. At the same time, the first beam 580 abuts against the abutment plate 820 in the horizontal direction, which can support the upper cover 790 and reduce the risk of the upper cover 790 overturning.

[0151] Reference Figure 10In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the crossbeam 540 further includes a third beam 830, which is disposed at the bottom of the first beam 580. A sealant is provided between the third beam 830 and the panel 110 at the bottom of the crossbeam 530, thereby sealing the other panel 110 at the bottom of the panel 110, reducing indoor and outdoor air flow, reducing heat transfer, and promoting energy saving.

[0152] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the crossbeam 540 further includes a third beam 830, which is disposed at the bottom of the first beam 580 and connected to the column 160. The third beam 830 is used to support or fix the first beam 580. Therefore, the third beam 830 is disposed at the top of the connector 550 and the first beam 580 is disposed at the top of the third beam 830, which simplifies the installation and reduces the use of screws.

[0153] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the third beam 830 and the second beam 730 are arranged symmetrically, thereby reducing the specifications of parts, facilitating production organization, and making maintenance easier.

[0154] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a lower cover 840 is also included, which is snapped into the third beam 830, thereby covering the third beam 830 and providing a good appearance.

[0155] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the lower cover 840 is snapped into the upper cover 790, and the upper cover 790 and the lower cover 840 cooperate to cover the first beam 580, the second beam 730 and the third beam 830, so that the interior side has a simple appearance, which is beautiful and elegant.
