Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of unitized curtain wall engineering technology, and to a curtain wall system that simulates a smooth spherical curtain wall, particularly to a curtain wall system that simulates a smooth spherical curtain wall by means of unit panels composed of non-coplanar rhomboid frames and flat glass. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of society, conventional architectural forms are becoming increasingly monotonous and can no longer meet people's demands for richer and more diverse architecture. Spherical architecture is a special type of building, possessing the largest internal space and unobstructed natural light. Therefore, installing transparent curtain walls on spherical buildings can further leverage their advantages.

[0003] Currently, modular curtain walls are commonly used in conventional spherical buildings. However, modular curtain walls have several drawbacks, including difficulties in measurement and positioning, long construction periods, unstable construction quality, large installation deviations, low performance and quality leading to potential water leakage. Furthermore, they are cumbersome to operate, have high labor costs, and low construction efficiency.

[0004] Unitized curtain wall design and construction can overcome some of the shortcomings of component-based curtain walls to a certain extent. Currently, most spherical building projects using unitized curtain wall design and construction employ butt-joint unitized curtain wall designs. Unitized curtain walls rely on passive waterproofing, which carries the risk of leakage. Furthermore, due to the structure and shape of the unit panels, this type of curtain wall structure has varying degrees of structural safety issues. Other common unitized curtain wall technologies that simulate a spherical surface suffer from various problems, such as insufficient angle adjustment, inability to resolve non-coplanarity of unit frame materials, difficulty in controlling precision, and the risk of glass spontaneous breakage.

[0005] Therefore, developing a curtain wall system that simulates a smooth spherical curtain wall with good waterproof performance, high structural strength, high installation accuracy, and high overall construction efficiency is of great practical significance. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Due to the aforementioned deficiencies in existing technologies, this invention provides a curtain wall system with a simulated smooth spherical curtain wall that features good waterproof performance, high structural strength, high installation accuracy, and high overall construction efficiency. This overcomes the shortcomings of existing simulated smooth spherical curtain wall systems, such as easy water leakage, poor structural safety, difficulty in controlling accuracy, and low construction efficiency.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A curtain wall system simulating a smooth spherical curtain wall, comprising multiple interlocking unit panels;

[0009] The unit module is a non-coplanar rhombic frame, including a central plane rhombic sub-module and side triangular sub-modules A and B located on both sides of the central plane rhombic sub-module. Side triangular sub-modules A and B are not coplanar with the central plane rhombic sub-module. A glass panel is mounted on the same side of the central plane rhombic sub-module, side triangular sub-module A and side triangular sub-module B.

[0010] The central planar rhomboid submodule is formed by sequentially connecting frame I, unit middle beam I, frame II, and unit middle beam II. The side triangular submodule A is formed by sequentially connecting unit middle beam I, frame III, and unit top beam. The side triangular submodule B is formed by sequentially connecting unit middle beam II, frame IV, and unit bottom beam. Frame I and frame IV are connected to form unit polygonal frame A, and frame II and frame III are connected to form unit polygonal frame B. Unit polygonal frame A and unit polygonal frame B are equipped with mutually matching snap-fit ​​components A, and unit top beam and unit bottom beam are equipped with mutually matching snap-fit ​​components B.

[0011] Adjacent unit panels are connected by snap-fit ​​component A or snap-fit ​​component B, and multiple unit panels are spliced ​​together to form a curtain wall system that simulates a smooth spherical surface.

[0012] The curtain wall system of the present invention, which simulates a smooth spherical curtain wall, has a reasonable overall design. Each unit panel adopts a three-plane design (side triangular sub-module A, side triangular sub-module B, and central plane rhomboid sub-module are three non-coplanar planes). The side triangular sub-modules A and B of adjacent unit panels form a frame with the same size as the central plane rhomboid sub-module, thus forming a curtain wall system that simulates a smooth spherical surface composed of the central plane rhomboid sub-module. The unit panels are fixed by snap-fit ​​components, which is simple to operate and has high construction efficiency. The snap-fit ​​components can be designed according to actual needs, giving them a certain adjustment margin to meet the requirements of different installation angles of adjacent unit panels. It has good applicability and good application prospects.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution:

[0014] As described above, in a curtain wall system simulating a smooth spherical curtain wall, aluminum alloy column adjustment subframes are installed on both unit folded frame A and unit folded frame B. The aluminum alloy column adjustment subframes are connected to the glass panel to form an integral whole by silicone structural adhesive, and then connected to unit folded frame A or unit folded frame B by stainless steel countersunk machine screws. The glass panel is surrounded by aluminum alloy glass edging, the middle is filled with foam rods, and the outside is coated with silicone weather-resistant sealant.

[0015] As described above, in a curtain wall system simulating a smooth spherical curtain wall, the unit top beam and unit bottom beam are connected to the glass panel by silicone structural adhesive, the glass panel is surrounded and supported by aluminum alloy top beam edge protection, the middle is filled with glass pads and foam rods, and the outside is coated with weather-resistant sealant.

[0016] Both crossbeams I and II in the unit are equipped with aluminum alloy adjusting shoulders. These shoulders are connected to the glass panel using silicone structural adhesive to form a unified structure, and then connected to crossbeam I or II using stainless steel countersunk machine screws. The glass panel is surrounded by aluminum alloy pressure plates, filled with foam rods, and sealed with silicone weather-resistant sealant. By adjusting the dimensions of the aluminum alloy adjusting shoulders, the actual distance between the glass panel and crossbeam I or II can be controlled, providing a degree of adjustability within the vertical plane of the unit.

[0017] As described above, in a curtain wall system simulating a smooth spherical curtain wall, the horizontal beam I or the horizontal beam II in the unit is mounted on an aluminum alloy core tube and connected to the unit folded frame A and the unit folded frame B at both ends of the unit respectively through the aluminum alloy core tube.

[0018] As described above, in a curtain wall system simulating a smooth spherical curtain wall, the snap-fit ​​component A includes a male groove A and a female groove A that match each other. A certain gap width exists between the male groove A and the female groove A, allowing adjacent unit panels to rotate using the female groove A as a base point. Rubber-plastic foam and EPDM rubber strips are filled between the male groove A and the female groove A, and the insertion dimensions are controlled by the rubber-plastic foam and EPDM rubber strips. Furthermore, by adjusting the dimensions of the aluminum alloy columns and the subframe, the distance between the glass panel and the unit's folded edge frame A and unit's folded edge frame B can be controlled, providing a certain degree of adjustability within the horizontal plane of the unit.

[0019] As described above, in a curtain wall system simulating a smooth spherical curtain wall, the snap-fit ​​component B includes a male groove B and a female groove B that match each other. There is a certain gap width between the male groove B and the female groove B, allowing adjacent unit panels to rotate with the female groove B as the base point. The space between the male groove B and the female groove B is filled with rubber and plastic sponge and EPDM rubber strips, and the insertion size is controlled by the rubber and plastic sponge and EPDM rubber strips.

[0020] As described above, in a curtain wall system simulating a smooth spherical curtain wall, the unit's folded frame A is provided with a water collection groove, and the unit's top beam is provided with a water collection trough, which is connected to the water collection groove, thus giving the curtain wall system a systematic drainage capability.

[0021] As described above, in a curtain wall system simulating a smooth spherical curtain wall, the unit panel is provided with a curtain wall support on the side away from the glass panel installation side, and the unit panel can be installed on the surface to be installed through the curtain wall support.

[0022] The above technical solution is only one feasible technical solution of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can reasonably adjust the specific design according to actual needs.

[0023] The above invention has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0024] (1) The curtain wall system of the present invention, which simulates a smooth spherical curtain wall, solves the problem that conventional spherical curtain walls cannot use plug-in unitized curtain walls, and improves the waterproofness of spherical curtain walls by using a systematic waterproofing method.

[0025] (2) The curtain wall system of the present invention, which simulates a smooth spherical curtain wall, can reduce the construction period of the project, increase the assembly rate, and improve the quality of the project by using unitized curtain wall design and construction of spherical curtain walls;
