Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building engineering technology, and in particular to a top-tightening and reinforcing component and installation method for existing curtain wall decorative strips. Background Art

[0002] Decorative strips, as an indispensable component of semi-concealed and exposed frame glass curtain walls, can highlight the building's shape, accentuate its structural features, and showcase the characteristics of curtain wall architecture, leading to their increasingly widespread use. However, curtain wall decorative strips are often connected and fixed using a plug-in method. If this plug-in structure lacks a reliable mechanical connection for restraint, the decorative strip is prone to slipping out of the plug groove, causing it to fall off.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a clamping and reinforcing component to avoid potential safety hazards and minimize disturbance to existing curtain walls. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a tightening and reinforcing component and installation method for existing curtain wall decorative strips. In this solution, the tightening and reinforcing component involves installing reinforcing plates on the exterior side of the decorative strip gaps. After the set screws are rotated and tightened against the beams and column profiles, the reinforcing plates press against the decorative strips. A self-locking nut is then installed for reinforcement. This tightening and reinforcing component does not require disassembling the original decorative strips; simply adding this component achieves the purpose of reinforcing the existing curtain wall decorative strips. Furthermore, during later maintenance, only the set screws and self-locking nuts need to be tightened, making operation simple and maintenance convenient.

[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following invention:

[0006] The first objective of this invention is to provide a top-tightening and reinforcing assembly for existing curtain wall decorative strips, used to reinforce existing curtain wall decorative strips. Two opposing existing curtain wall decorative strips are connected and fixed to the keel by an interlocking method. The top-tightening and reinforcing assembly for existing curtain wall decorative strips includes a reinforcing plate, a set screw, and a self-locking nut. The set screw is connected to the keel. The set screw is fixedly connected to the reinforcing plate. The self-locking nut is fixedly connected to the set screw. Both ends of the reinforcing plate abut against the profile wall of the keel, and the reinforcing plate abuts against the two opposing existing curtain wall decorative strips.

[0007] Furthermore, the set screw has an external thread; the reinforcing plate has an internal thread; the self-locking nut has an internal thread; the external thread on the set screw matches the internal thread on the reinforcing plate; the external thread on the set screw matches the internal thread on the self-locking nut; the set screw is threadedly connected to the reinforcing plate; the self-locking nut is threadedly connected to the set screw.

[0008] Furthermore, the reinforcing plate is installed on the outdoor side.

[0009] Preferably, the reinforcing sheet is a stainless steel reinforcing sheet.

[0010] Furthermore, the reinforcing plate is an arc-shaped reinforcing plate; the arc-shaped reinforcing plate includes a straight section and two arc-shaped sections, with the two arc-shaped sections respectively located at both ends of the straight section; the two arc-shaped sections respectively abut against the profile wall of the keel; the surfaces on the same side of the two arc-shaped sections respectively abut against two opposing existing curtain wall decorative strips.

[0011] Furthermore, the two arc segments have the same shape and size; the two arc segments are in opposite directions.

[0012] Preferably, the set screw is an internal hexagon set screw.

[0013] More preferably, the set screw is a stainless steel internal hexagon set screw.

[0014] Furthermore, the existing curtain wall decorative strip is a profile; the keel is a profile.

[0015] Preferably, the self-locking nut is a stainless steel self-locking nut.

[0016] The second objective of this invention is to provide an installation method for the aforementioned existing curtain wall decorative strip clamping and reinforcing assembly, comprising the following steps:

[0017] S1. First, screw the set screw onto the reinforcing plate, then place the reinforcing plate and the set screw together into the gap between two opposing existing curtain wall decorative strips, and then rotate the set screw. Rotating the set screw will drive the reinforcing plate to rotate.

[0018] S2. Rotate the reinforcing plate until it contacts the keel wall, and continue to tighten the set screw until the set screw presses against the keel wall. At the same time, the reinforcing plate will press against the two opposing existing curtain wall decorative strips, thus reinforcing the existing curtain wall decorative strips.

[0019] S3. Insert the self-locking nut into the set screw and tighten the self-locking nut to the reinforcing plate. Adjust the set screw and the self-locking nut until the connection is secure. Installation is complete.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1) The present invention provides a tightening and reinforcing component and installation method for existing curtain wall decorative strips. By installing a reinforcing plate on the exterior side between the decorative strip gaps, and by rotating and tightening the set screws to press the reinforcing plate against the crossbeam and column profile wall, the reinforcing plate presses the decorative strip. This tightening and reinforcing component does not require disassembling the original decorative strip and will not disturb the existing curtain wall. By simply adding this tightening and reinforcing component, the decorative strip is less likely to slip out of the insertion groove, thus achieving the purpose of reinforcing the existing curtain wall decorative strip and effectively reducing the accident of decorative strip falling.

[0022] 2) The present invention provides a top-tightening and reinforcing component and installation method for existing curtain wall decorative strips. When maintaining the top-tightening and reinforcing component in the later stage, only the fastening screws and self-locking nuts need to be reinforced. The operation is simple and the maintenance is convenient. Attached Figure Description
