Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention discloses an outdoor-mountable window system and its installation method, belonging to the technical field of fixed buildings. Background Technology

[0002] Current building codes are imposing increasingly stringent requirements on the aesthetics, safety, and performance of window systems for public building facades. Currently, the definition of a window is a conventional window system used in residential buildings. The excessive width of the exterior facade profiles, consisting of mullions, window frames, and operable sash frames, significantly detracts from the overall facade aesthetics. Furthermore, for high-end residential public building facades with large windows, conventional window systems produce poor facade effects, and the excessively wide window frames create a conflict between the interior visual appeal and the need for large windows.

[0003] In some areas, the surrounding environment of the land parcel prohibits the installation of glass curtain walls, and the airtightness, watertightness, and wind pressure resistance of the window system must be stricter than those of ordinary window systems. The exterior design of super high-rise office buildings often uses a continuous window system around the building to achieve the appearance of a curtain wall. In addition to considering the three properties of the window system, the design also needs to consider the seismic displacement resistance, temperature stress deformation resistance, and the maximum dimensions of the window unit panels for installation and processing.

[0004] The materials used in the window and door systems that contribute to the curtain wall's appearance, including profiles and glass, must meet the relevant specifications for curtain walls. Existing modular curtain walls use single-installed columns and beams to form a point-loaded curtain wall frame. If this frame installation method is used for window and door systems, material utilization is very low and costs are high when the opening height is relatively low. Whether the window and door systems installed on the building facade meet lighting requirements is a factor affecting the building's daylighting. Whether the window and door systems installed on the building facade can withstand deformation caused by panel displacement and expansion / contraction is a factor affecting both the curtain wall's appearance and the safety of the window and door systems.

[0005] In addition, window systems are also prone to problems where the interior structural conditions cannot guarantee sufficient finished surface for glass installation, such as inability to install glass in narrow interior spaces with shear walls, structural columns, or structural beams.

[0006] In summary, the present invention aims to propose a window system node structure that can be installed on the exterior side and optimize the installation sequence, so as to achieve the appearance of the curtain wall and overcome the defects of existing window systems that cannot be installed in small indoor spaces. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the aforementioned background technology by providing an outdoor-mountable window system and its installation method. Through a curtain wall-like window and door structure, the invention aims to install windows and doors from the outside into the openings of public buildings, thus solving the technical problems of not being able to install public building windows and doors from the inside when there is insufficient space for the finished glass surface, and the impact of existing indoor installation methods on the safety of window and door systems and the lighting of buildings.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

[0009] The system includes window frame design, outdoor installation of glass beading, splicing between window frames, horizontal mullions, top and bottom edge fixing, glass panel thickness conversion, operable sash design, and corner assembly design. The window frame forms a U-shape. The horizontal mullions are fixed to the window frame with screws. The glass is fixed to the window frame using outdoor glass beading, with screws penetrating the thermal break strip and fixing it to the rear profile to address stress on the thermal break strip under negative wind pressure. The window frame is fixed to the vertical mullions using stainless steel locking hexagonal screws. Vertical elongated holes are made in the screw holes on the profile to release weight-related profile displacement and adjust for alignment errors between the window frame and mullions. An aluminum alloy sub-frame drainage channel is inserted into the lower edge of the window frame. The drainage channel is fixed to the lower steel sub-frame with screws, and the steel sub-frame is linearly fixed to the civil structure using steel angle brackets and rear-expanded mechanical anchors. The upper edge of the window frame is fixed to the steel sub-frame with screws, and the steel sub-frame is linearly fixed to the civil structure opening using steel angle brackets. The corners of the window frame are assembled using a flow guiding process.

[0010] The window system, which can be installed on the exterior side, includes: aluminum alloy window frame, aluminum alloy mullions, aluminum alloy window mullions, and insulated glass. The aluminum alloy window mullions are fixed to embedded parts in the civil engineering opening, and the upper part of the aluminum alloy window frame is fixed to the steel sub-frame of the civil engineering opening. The vertical window frames of the aluminum alloy window frame in the upper node of the window system are fastened to the aluminum alloy window mullions, and the vertical window frames of the aluminum alloy window frame in the mullion node of the window system are fastened to the aluminum alloy window mullions. The front end of the aluminum alloy window mullion has a core structure with a vertical elongated hole. The vertical window frames of the aluminum alloy window frames in the lower nodes of two adjacent window systems are fastened to the aluminum alloy window mullions through the core structure of the aluminum alloy window mullions. The aluminum alloy mullions are fastened to the aluminum alloy window mullions. The insulated glass is installed in the profile frame composed of the aluminum alloy mullions and the aluminum alloy window frame.

[0011] Furthermore, in the window system that can be installed on the outside, the window insert is inserted into the gap between the vertical window frames of the aluminum alloy window frames in the lower nodes of two adjacent window systems. The vertical window frames of the aluminum alloy window frames in the lower nodes of the window systems have pre-drilled holes. The vertical window frames of the aluminum alloy window frames in the lower nodes of two adjacent window systems are fastened to the mullions of the aluminum alloy window mullions by stainless steel cross-locking screws. The stainless steel cross-locking screws pass through the opening on the vertical window frame of the aluminum alloy window frame in one lower node of the window system, the elongated hole on the insert of the mullion of the aluminum alloy window mullion, and the opening on the vertical window frame of the aluminum alloy window frame in the other lower node of the window system before locking.

[0012] Furthermore, in the window system that can be installed on the outside, the vertical window frame of the aluminum alloy window frame in the upper node of the window system is fastened to the middle mullion of the aluminum alloy window mullion by stainless steel locking mechanism screws, and the vertical window frame of the aluminum alloy window frame in the horizontal mullion node of the window system is fastened to the middle mullion of the aluminum alloy window mullion by stainless steel locking mechanism screws.

[0013] Furthermore, in window systems that can be installed on the exterior side, the aluminum alloy mullions are securely connected to the aluminum alloy window mullions via stainless steel machine screws and aluminum alloy corner brackets, and the interior side of the aluminum alloy mullions is fitted with aluminum alloy retaining wires.

[0014] Furthermore, in the window system that can be installed on the outside, an aluminum alloy water channel is inserted into the lower opening of the aluminum alloy window frame. The aluminum alloy water channel is composed of a profile placed between the lower opening of the aluminum alloy window mullion and the embedded part, and a groove structure extending to the lower opening of the aluminum alloy window frame. The groove structure is inserted into the lower opening of the aluminum alloy window frame, and an aluminum alloy bridge plate is installed at the joint between the profile and the groove structure.

[0015] Furthermore, in the window system that can be installed on the outside, a foam rod is inserted between the double-glazed glass and the aluminum alloy window frame and sealant is applied. An aluminum alloy pressure line is installed on the outside of the double-glazed glass. The aluminum alloy pressure line is fixed to the aluminum alloy window frame by stainless steel machine screws. After passing through the aluminum alloy pressure line and the heat insulation strip, the stainless steel machine screws fix the aluminum alloy pressure line to the horizontal mullion of the aluminum alloy window frame. An aluminum alloy cover is installed on the outside of the double-glazed glass to cover the stainless steel machine screws and the aluminum alloy pressure line.

[0016] Furthermore, in the window system that can be installed on the outside, a first rubber strip is inserted into the gap between the vertical window frame of the aluminum alloy window frame in the lower node of two adjacent window systems, and a second rubber strip is inserted into the gap between the mullion of the aluminum alloy mullion and the vertical window frame of the aluminum alloy window frame in the lower node of two adjacent window systems.

[0017] The installation method for an outdoor-mountable window system includes the following three steps:

[0018] Step 1: Cut aluminum alloy window frame profiles, aluminum alloy mullions, and aluminum alloy window mullions in the factory, process insulated glass, assemble aluminum alloy window frame profiles to form aluminum alloy window frames, and transport the aluminum alloy window frames, aluminum alloy mullions, aluminum alloy window mullions, and insulated glass to the installation site.

[0019] Step Two: Measure and lay out the dimensions of the on-site civil engineering openings, install the steel sub-frame, fix the aluminum alloy window mullion to the embedded parts at the top and bottom of the civil engineering openings, linearly fix the top of the aluminum alloy window frame to the steel sub-frame at the top of the civil engineering opening, insert the front end of the aluminum alloy window mullion into the gap between the vertical window frames of the aluminum alloy window frames in the lower nodes of two adjacent window systems, and securely connect the vertical window frames of the aluminum alloy window frames in the upper nodes of the window systems to the aluminum alloy window mullion. Finally, secure the aluminum alloy window mullions in the horizontal mullion nodes of the window systems... The vertical window frame of the gold window frame is fastened to the middle mullion of the aluminum alloy window mullion. The vertical window frame of the aluminum alloy window frame in the lower node of the two adjacent window systems is fastened to the insert structure of the middle mullion of the aluminum alloy window mullion. The horizontal mullion of the aluminum alloy window frame is fastened to the middle mullion of the aluminum alloy window mullion. After re-measuring the size of the steel sub-frame on site, the aluminum alloy water channel and aluminum alloy bridge plate are cut. The aluminum alloy water channel is placed in the gap between the lower opening of the middle mullion of the aluminum alloy window mullion and the embedded part, and the groove structure of the lower opening of the aluminum alloy window frame and the aluminum alloy water channel is inserted.

[0020] Step 3: Insert foam rods and apply sealant between the insulated glass and the aluminum alloy window frame. Fix the aluminum alloy pressure line to the aluminum alloy window frame on the outside side using stainless steel machine screws. Install aluminum alloy caps on the outside side to cover the stainless steel machine screws and aluminum alloy pressure line, and seal the gaps between the insulated glass and the aluminum alloy window frame, as well as the gaps between the aluminum alloy window frames.

[0021] Furthermore, for window systems that can be installed on the exterior side, a steel sleeve is used to fix the upper edge of the aluminum alloy window mullion to the embedded part at the upper edge of the civil engineering structure.

[0022] Furthermore, for the installation method of the window system that can be installed on the outside, steel angle brackets and rear-expanded mechanical anchors are used to fix the steel sub-frames at the top and bottom of the civil engineering structure to the civil engineering opening. The bottom of the steel sub-frame is filled with waterproof mortar, and the outside is coated with JS waterproof coating.

[0023] Furthermore, for window systems that can be installed on the exterior side, the aluminum alloy water channel is fixed to the bottom edge of the aluminum alloy window using machine screws.

[0024] The present invention, by adopting the above technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] (1) The window system involved in this invention adopts the design principle of doors and windows, and realizes the specific structure through curtain wall profiles. The profile frame of the window system is spliced ​​by aluminum alloy profiles such as mullions. Aluminum alloy mullions are used as connecting components between the profile frames. The aluminum alloy mullions are fixed to the embedded parts in the civil structure as the window frame columns of the continuous window system. The window frame of the continuous window system can be installed in narrow spaces such as shear walls. Therefore, the glass panel can be installed on the window frame from the outside through the installation method of glass curtain wall. The width of the exterior facade of the completed window system is 87mm, which is basically the same as the visual effect of the exterior facade of the glass curtain wall system. It can achieve the appearance effect of a high-quality curtain wall and realize the function of a high-quality curtain wall.

[0026] (2) The window system of the present invention installs glass and glass pressure line on the outdoor side. The screws that fix the glass pressure line penetrate the thermal insulation strip and are fixed on the window frame profile on the indoor side, which solves the problem of the thermal insulation strip being stressed under negative wind pressure and overcomes the defect that the indoor space is insufficient to install glass.

[0027] (3) The window system of the present invention has a T-shaped mullion with a long slot for releasing the displacement of the profile in the direction of its own weight. The long slot can also eliminate the misalignment error of the three holes of the mullion mullion and adjacent window frames. The T-shaped mullion effectively reduces the viewing width of the window profile on the facade. The rubber strip for securing the front core of the T-shaped mullion is used to prevent metal friction noise caused by temperature stress and earthquake displacement. The rubber strip in the gap between the T-shaped mullion mullion and the vertical frame of the window frame serves as the second waterproofing measure for the window frame. While achieving the narrow frame facade effect of the window system, it also meets the three requirements of the curtain wall system.

[0028] (4) The window system of the present invention has a water trough inserted into the lower part of the window frame to collect and drain the water that seeps into the aluminum alloy mullion after the first layer of glue in the vertical frame gap of the window frame cracks and fails. The upper part of the window frame is fixed to the steel sub-frame by screws to meet the requirements of linear fixation of the window frame.

[0029] (5) The window system of the present invention solves the problem of water seepage at the corner of the window frame by inserting a heat insulation strip into the window frame profile and assembling the window frame profile using a diversion corner assembly process, thereby improving the thermal performance of the window system.

[0037] The technical solution of the utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] This invention utilizes window system profiles and, through the design and installation principles of aluminum alloy doors and windows, achieves the installation of the overall frame and glass panels for public building doors and windows, ultimately achieving a curtain wall-like appearance. For example... Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the window system involved in this invention includes: aluminum alloy mullions 23, aluminum alloy window frames 32, aluminum alloy window mullions 16, and insulated glass 10. The aluminum alloy window frames 32 are profiles forming a U-shape. The aluminum alloy mullions 23 and the aluminum alloy window frames 32 constitute the profile frame of the window system. The insulated glass 10 is installed inside the profile frame. The upper opening of the aluminum alloy window frames 32 is fixed to the steel sub-frame of the building opening. An aluminum alloy water channel 4 is installed at the lower opening of the aluminum alloy window frames 32. The vertical window frames of the aluminum alloy window frames 32 and the aluminum alloy mullions 23 are all fixed to the aluminum alloy window mullions 16. The steel sub-frame of the building opening is linearly fixed to the building structure by steel angle brackets and rear-expanding mechanical anchors. The aluminum alloy water channel 4 can dissipate the first layer of sealant ( Figure 3 After the silicone sealant 36 shown cracked and failed, the water that seeped into the aluminum alloy mullion 16 was collected and drained.

[0039] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the aluminum alloy window mullion 16 is fixed to the embedded part 11 at the civil engineering opening through the first steel insert 14 and the second steel insert 34. Sealant 12 is applied to the gaps between the embedded part 11 and the upper opening of the column, and between the embedded part 11 and the lower opening of the column. The front end of the aluminum alloy mullion 16 also has a front insert structure with a vertical elongated hole 44. The front insert structure of the aluminum alloy mullion 16 is inserted into the gap between the adjacent vertical frames of the aluminum alloy window frame 32. A second rubber strip 38 is inserted into the gap between the aluminum alloy mullion 16 and the vertical frame of the aluminum alloy window frame 32 as a second waterproofing measure. The second rubber strip 38 can block the sealant between adjacent aluminum alloy window frames (i.e.,...). Figure 3 The silicone sealant 36 shown (which has failed) prevents water seepage. A first rubber strip 37, inserted into the gap between the vertical window frames of adjacent aluminum alloy windows, prevents metal friction noise caused by temperature stress and earthquakes. When the front end insert of the aluminum alloy mullion 16 is inserted into the gap between the vertical window frames of adjacent aluminum alloy windows, it secures the first rubber strip 37 and the second rubber strip 38. The T-shaped cross-section of the aluminum alloy mullion 16 effectively reduces the overall width of the exterior window profile.

[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 As shown, the aluminum alloy water channel 4 is constructed by splicing a profile placed in the gap between the lower opening of the aluminum alloy window mullion 16 and the embedded part 11 with a groove extending to the lower opening of the aluminum alloy window frame 32. The aluminum alloy water channel 4 is installed on the lower opening of the aluminum alloy window frame 32 by machine screws 15.

[0041] The installation method of the outdoor-mountable window system of the present invention includes the following three main steps.

[0042] Step 1: Cut aluminum alloy profiles and assemble aluminum alloy window frames in the factory.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 4, the aluminum alloy window frame 32 profile, aluminum alloy mullions 23, and aluminum alloy window mullions 16 are cut in the factory. Drilling and milling operations are performed on the aluminum alloy window frame 32 profile, aluminum alloy mullions 23, and aluminum alloy window mullions 16. When the aluminum alloy window frame profile is being cut, a heat-insulating strip DD groove 45 is also cast. The adhesive strip inserted into the heat-insulating strip DD groove 45 improves the thermal performance of the window system. The aluminum alloy pressure line 7, aluminum alloy cover 6, aluminum alloy buckle 18, and aluminum alloy... The components include: gold buckle 26, aluminum alloy corner bracket 41, and guide plate 40. The guide plate 40 is inserted into the aluminum alloy corner bracket 41 to form an aluminum alloy corner. The aluminum alloy corner is then inserted into the aluminum alloy window frame 32 and pressed into the corner opening 42 using a corner assembly machine. After corner assembly, two-component sealant is injected through the injection hole 43 to waterproof the corner of the window frame, completing the assembly of the aluminum alloy window frame 32. The aluminum alloy window frame 32, aluminum alloy mullions 23, aluminum alloy window mullions 16, and insulated glass 10 are transported to the site.

[0044] Step Two: On-site installation of aluminum alloy mullions and window system frame profiles.

[0045] like Figure 1As shown in Figure 4, the on-site opening dimensions are determined by measurement and layout. Based on the actual opening dimensions, the installation position of the steel sub-frame 29 is determined by layout. Both the upper and lower steel sub-frames are fixed to the civil engineering opening using steel angle brackets and rear-expanded mechanical anchors. The lower opening of the steel sub-frame is filled with waterproof mortar 13. After the waterproof mortar solidifies, the rear-expanded mechanical anchors are installed. JS waterproof coating 1 is applied to the outer side of the lower opening of the steel sub-frame. The aluminum alloy window mullion 16 is fixed to the embedded parts 11 at the upper and lower openings of the civil engineering opening using the first steel insert 14 and the second steel insert 34. Stainless steel self-tapping screws 33 are installed to fix the upper opening of the aluminum alloy window frame 32 to the steel sub-frame 29. For the upper and mullion nodes of the aluminum alloy window system, a stainless steel interlocking mechanism is used. Screw 21 fixes the aluminum alloy window frame 32 to the aluminum alloy window mullion 16; an aluminum plate 31 is installed on the exterior of the civil structure at the upper opening of the aluminum alloy window frame 32, and a hot-dip galvanized steel plate 30 is installed on the civil structure at the upper opening of the aluminum alloy window frame 32; fireproof cotton 35 is inserted between the upper opening of the aluminum alloy window mullion 16 and the civil structure; an aluminum back plate 22 is installed on the interior side of the aluminum alloy window mullion 16, and fireproof cotton 28 is inserted between the aluminum back plate 22 and the civil structure; after the front insert of the aluminum alloy window mullion 16 secures the first rubber strip 37 and the second rubber strip 38, the stainless steel cross-locking screw 39 passes through the pre-drilled opening on the vertical window frame of the adjacent aluminum alloy window frame 32 and the front insert of the aluminum alloy window mullion 16. The pre-reserved elongated holes in the core structure allow for locking, enabling a secure connection between the corner positions of adjacent aluminum alloy window frames and the mullions of the aluminum alloy window slats. Pre-reserved openings on the vertical window frames release displacement of the profiles in the direction of their own weight and adjust the alignment errors of the three holes of the window frame profiles and mullions. The aluminum alloy horizontal mullions 23 are fixed to the mullions 16 from the outside using stainless steel machine screws 25 and aluminum alloy corner brackets 24. Aluminum alloy fastening wires 26 are fastened to the rear (indoor) of the aluminum alloy horizontal mullions 23. Hot-dip galvanized steel plates 27 are also installed on the aluminum alloy horizontal mullions 23 and are fixed to the civil engineering structure. After on-site re-measurement of the steel sub-frame 29 dimensions, aluminum alloy water channels 4 are cut from the processed window unit profiles. The aluminum alloy window frame 32 is inserted into the aluminum alloy water trough 4 at its lower end, and the aluminum alloy water trough 4 is fixed to the lower end of the aluminum alloy window frame 32 by the installation screw 15. Since the aluminum alloy water trough 4 cannot be fixed along its entire length, a unit bridge plate is used to solve the problem of water leakage at the joint of the water trough. The aluminum alloy bridge plate 3 is cut and installed at the joint of the profile and the groove structure of the aluminum alloy water trough 4 between the lower end of the aluminum alloy window mullion 16 and the embedded part 11. One end of the hot-dip galvanized steel plate 2 is fixed on the aluminum alloy water trough 4 and the plate surface extends to the outside of the lower end of the steel sub-frame. The seepage water collected by the aluminum alloy water trough 4 is discharged from the drain hole to the hot-dip galvanized steel plate 2 and discharged from the window system along the hot-dip galvanized steel plate 2.

[0046] Step 3: On-site installation of insulated glass

[0047] like Figure 1As shown in Figure 4, the double-glazed glass 10 is installed from the outside. Foam rods are inserted between the double-glazed glass 10 and the aluminum alloy window frame 32, followed by the application of sealant 8. An aluminum alloy pressure strip 7 is installed from the outside. Stainless steel machine screws 5 pass through the aluminum alloy pressure strip 7 and the injected thermal insulation strip to fix the aluminum alloy pressure strip 7 to the aluminum alloy window frame, thus solving the problem of stress on the thermal insulation strip under negative wind pressure. An aluminum alloy cover 6 is installed from the outside to cover the stainless steel machine screws 5 and the aluminum alloy pressure strip 7. After installing the aluminum alloy cover 6, a rubber strip is inserted from the outside between the double-glazed glass 10 and the aluminum alloy window frame 32. Apply sealant 9. After inserting foam rods into the gaps between the exterior and adjacent aluminum alloy window frames 32 vertically, apply silicone sealant 36. To prevent misalignment of the window frame corners, insert window flattening strips 17 into the grooves on the inner side of the aluminum alloy window frame corners. Insert rubber strips 19 into the gaps between the interior side of the double-glazed glass 10 and the aluminum alloy window frame. Install aluminum alloy retaining wires 18 into the grooves of the aluminum alloy window frame facing the mullions. Seal the gaps between the glass and the window frame, and between window frames, to ensure the airtightness and watertightness of the curtain wall-like window system. See also Figure 2 The enlarged view of the mullion node of the window system shown shows that the aluminum alloy pressure line 7 also has a long waist drainage hole to drain water from the upper opening caused by the failure of the sealant between the insulating glass and the aluminum alloy profile; the indoor side of the insulating glass 10 between the aluminum alloy mullion 23 and the upper opening of the aluminum alloy window frame is equipped with an aluminum alloy compensation block 20 for temperature compensation.

[0048] In summary, this invention adopts a curtain wall design concept for its window and door system. The frame profiles are first assembled in the factory, then fixed on-site, and finally the glass panels are installed from the outside. This allows for factory production, significantly improving installation efficiency and saving costs. Because the window-wall system references window and door design specifications, and meets relevant standards and structural requirements, the minimum wall thickness of the grid-shaped frame profile reaches 1.8mm. With single-silver glass, the thermal performance reaches 2.143 W / (㎡·K), which is superior to conventional window systems. Furthermore, the window-wall system uses a specially designed window profile viewing area, which, while meeting structural requirements, allows for a smaller viewing area, thereby increasing indoor lighting and improving the outdoor viewing effect.
