[0035] In other aspects, this embodiment also provides an external curtain wall frame connection component;

[0036] refer to Figure 5-6A C-shaped rotating ring 52 is provided on the left side of the front of the connector 1. Both ends of the rotating ring 52 extend into the interior of the hinge shaft ring 5. Both ends of the rotating ring 52 are fixedly connected to the surface of the transmission rod 51, and there is no contact between the two ends of the rotating ring 52 and the hinge shaft ring 5. The transmission rod 51 is connected to the hinge shaft ring 5 on the same vertical line via bearings.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] In other aspects, this embodiment also provides an external curtain wall frame connection component;

[0039] refer to Figure 7 An adjusting plate 62, L-shaped, is installed inside the placement slot 61. A mounting sleeve 63, U-shaped, is fixedly connected to the front end of the adjusting plate 62, with its opening facing upwards. Four bolts are located on the front of the mounting sleeve 63. The U-shaped mounting sleeve 63 allows the user to place the crossbeam inside for support and secure it with bolts. Alternatively, the adjusting plate 62 and mounting sleeve 63 can be pre-fixed before placing them inside the placement slot 61, eliminating the need for subsequent high-altitude fixing. The placement block 6 has moving slots 64 on both its front and back sides, shaped like a Z. All components are equipped with sliders. The sliders cannot be separated from the moving grooves 64, but the sliders can move freely inside the moving grooves 64 along their shape. A locking plate 65 is provided at the top of the placement block 6, and an abutting block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the locking plate 65. The abutting block abuts against the top of the adjusting plate 62. Moving plates 66 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the locking plate 65. The bottom of the surface of the moving plate 66 is fixedly connected to the slider inside the moving groove 64 on the same side. A scale 67 is marked on the top of the placement block 6. The unit of measurement of the scale 67 is millimeters. During the installation of the curtain wall, the left, right and up and down errors need to be controlled within the millimeter range.

[0040] The complete working principle and process of this technical solution are as follows:

[0041] When installing a curtain wall, the user first measures the side wall of the building to determine the position of each connecting collar 2. Then, based on the wall thickness, a suitable connecting collar 2 is selected. The connecting collar 2 is then fixed to the connector 1 with bolts. Next, the C-shaped connecting collar 2 is placed on the wall, so that the connecting collar 2 wraps around the wall. The user then uses chemical bolts 3 to fix the connecting collar 2 to the wall. The user then inserts the connecting block 43 into a connecting groove 4, so that the front end of the connecting block 43 is located inside the connecting groove 41 at the same position. The connecting block 43, carrying the fixing ring 44 and the stabilizing plate 45, is located on the front of the connector 1. After installing all the connecting collars 2 and connectors 1 as needed, the user inserts the vertical frame into the fixing ring 44 from the top. By continuously assembling the vertical frame, the bottom end of the connected frame is inserted into the bottom fixing ring 44. Then, the stabilizing plate 45 is used to block the frame, completing the temporary fixation of the frame position. The user then measures the installation position of the frame again to see if it is within the error range. If the error is large and the frame position needs to be adjusted, use... The user can pull the fixing ring 44 upwards to move it into the adjusting groove 42, and then move it horizontally to move it into the connecting groove 41 on the side. The user can also adjust the spacing in this way to adapt the device to the spacing required for curtain wall installations of different sizes. Then, the user can rotate the transmission rod 51, causing the rotating ring 52 and the fixing plate 53 to rotate. The transmission rod 51 causes the spring 54 to deform, ensuring that the fixing plate 53 remains perpendicular to the connecting piece 1, without affecting the frame. Insert the fixing plate 53 until it rotates to the front of the connector 1. At this time, the fixing plate 53 contacts the stabilizing plate 45, and each set of fixing blocks 55 enters the interior of the fixing sleeve 56. Then, the user fixes each set of fixing blocks 55 and the fixing sleeve 56 with bolts. During the process of fixing the fixing blocks 55 and the fixing sleeve 56 with bolts, the fixing plate 53 gradually comes into contact with the stabilizing plate 45, pushing the stabilizing plate 45 to contact the frame. Thus, the frame is fixed inside the fixing ring 44 by the fixing plate 53 contacting the stabilizing plate 45. Then, the user completes the installation of the vertical frame.

[0042] After the vertical frame is installed, the user then installs the horizontal frame. The user can place the horizontal frame into the mounting sleeve 63 in advance and fix it with bolts. Then, the adjusting plate 62 is placed into the placement groove 61. The horizontal frame is temporarily fixed by the placement block 6, placement groove 61, adjusting plate 62, and mounting sleeve 63. The user can then adjust the position of the frame according to the scale 67 to ensure that the frame is within the installation error range. The user then moves the clamping plate 65 horizontally. The clamping plate 65 drives the moving plate 66 and the slider to move inside the moving groove 64. That is, the clamping plate 65 completes three movement processes according to the shape of the moving groove 64: horizontal movement, vertical movement, and horizontal movement. When the clamping plate 65 moves downward, it abuts against the adjusting plate 62. Then, the clamping plate 65 makes a final horizontal movement, at which point the clamping plate 65 abuts against the adjusting plate 62 to fix the adjusting plate 62. The slider abuts against the inner wall of the moving groove 64 to fix the position of the clamping plate 65, thus fixing the adjusting plate 62 and the mounting sleeve 63.

[0043] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
