Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of curtain wall technology, specifically relating to a method for splicing flexible curtain walls on water. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, curtain walls are mostly used in land-based projects. There are many types of curtain walls, including glass curtain walls, metal panel curtain walls, composite panel curtain walls, stone curtain walls, and artificial board curtain walls, depending on the material of the curtain wall panels. In these curtain walls, the size of individual panels is limited; for example, the size of a single stone panel in a stone curtain wall should not exceed 1.5m × 2m. When the curtain wall area is large, it is often composed of multiple panels spliced ​​together, and the splicing work is carried out on land. When curtain walls are needed for water-based projects, if they are spliced ​​on land and then transported to the water, the transport of large-area curtain walls becomes difficult. If they are spliced ​​on the water, a working platform needs to be built on the water surface, and then the curtain wall splicing is carried out on the working platform. However, when the curtain wall area is as large as tens of thousands of square meters, the required working platform is too large and difficult to build due to site limitations. Furthermore, in conventional curtain walls, the area of ​​a single panel is too small, mostly not exceeding 10 square meters. To assemble a super-large curtain wall covering tens of thousands of square meters, the process is extremely complex. On the other hand, increasing the area of ​​a single panel is limited by manufacturing processes and transportation conditions. In short, with the current level of technology, it is difficult to form a super-large curtain wall covering tens of thousands of square meters on water. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention patent provides a flexible curtain wall splicing method on water, which solves the technical problem that when large-area curtain walls are used in water projects, it is difficult to transport the entire curtain wall if it is spliced ​​on land, and it is difficult to build a large working platform for splicing on water.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A method for assembling a flexible curtain wall on water, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1. Number the flexible curtain wall panels sequentially according to their position in the entire flexible curtain wall.

[0007] S2. Lay the numbered flexible curtain wall panels flat on the inflatable air cushion in sequence. The inflatable air cushion floats on the water surface. Use the inflatable air cushion to transfer the flexible curtain wall panels to the predetermined position on the water in the order of the numbers.

[0008] S3. On the inflatable air cushion, adjacent flexible curtain wall panels are connected by a snap-fit ​​assembly. The flexible curtain wall panel has a longitudinal skeleton along its width direction. The longitudinal skeleton is connected to the edge of each adjacent flexible curtain wall panel. An inflatable float is set on the snap-fit ​​assembly along the length direction of the flexible curtain wall panel.

[0009] S4. Remove the inflatable air cushion under the part of the flexible curtain wall panel that has completed step S3. The flexible curtain wall panel floats on the water surface through the inflatable float.

[0010] S5. Transport the extracted air cushion back, and repeat steps S2 to S4 until the entire flexible curtain wall is spliced ​​on the water surface.

[0011] After the flexible curtain wall panels are transported to a predetermined position on the water using inflatable air cushions, adjacent flexible curtain wall panels are connected, and a longitudinal frame is installed to provide longitudinal support for the flexible curtain wall. Inflatable pontoons allow the flexible curtain wall to float on the water surface. This invention's flexible curtain wall water splicing method enables safe, efficient, and energy-saving large-area curtain wall splicing operations on water, solving the technical challenges of transporting large curtain walls on water and constructing large water platforms. The flexible curtain wall water splicing method of this invention uses an inflatable air cushion platform for splicing, ensuring operational safety; the deployment and splicing of multiple flexible curtain wall panels forms a circulating flow operation, resulting in high efficiency; only small, localized inflatable air cushion platforms need to be built, and these air cushions can be reused, eliminating the need for a large overall platform, making the operation economical and energy-saving.

[0012] Preferably, the flexible curtain wall panel includes a flexible curtain wall panel and a flexible curtain wall frame, with the flexible curtain wall frame positioned around the perimeter of the flexible curtain wall panel. Along the length of the flexible curtain wall panel, multiple interlocking eyelets are provided at both ends and between the ends of the flexible curtain wall frame. The flexible curtain wall used in this invention is a flexible structure. The flexible curtain wall panel can be made of composite fabric, and the flexible curtain wall frame can be made of high-polymer flexible rope, possessing excellent properties such as ultra-high strength-to-weight ratio, fatigue resistance, strong wear resistance, and long creep life. Before the flexible curtain wall panel leaves the factory, the flexible curtain wall frame can be wrapped around the edge of the flexible curtain wall panel. The flexible curtain wall panel can be folded for easy transportation, and its size is less restricted by transportation conditions, allowing for the production of larger flexible curtain wall panels and reducing the amount of splicing work.

[0013] Preferably, the inflatable air cushion is a drawn wire air cushion. Multiple latches are provided at both ends along the length of the air cushion, and these latches are connected to the air cushion via reinforcing plates. Adjacent air cushions are connected by latches. An air cushion valve and air tube sleeve are provided on one side along the length of the air cushion, and multiple limiting rings are provided on both sides along the length of the air cushion. Multiple counterweight bags are also spaced at the bottom of the air cushion. The width of the air cushion is smaller than the width of the flexible curtain wall panel. The drawn wire air cushion is filled with drawn wire, possessing the characteristics of high buoyancy and excellent airtightness of conventional inflatable airtight materials, as well as good mechanical strength, cushioning function, and strong impact absorption. Because the width of the air cushion is smaller than the width of the flexible curtain wall panel, after adjacent flexible curtain wall panels and air cushions are positioned at predetermined locations on the water, there is excess flexible curtain wall space in the gap, facilitating splicing between adjacent flexible curtain wall panels. Considering the difficulty of removing the inflatable air cushion in step S4 and manufacturing limitations, the length of the inflatable air cushion cannot be too long. Locking buckles are designed at both ends of the inflatable air cushion; these buckles can be male or female. If the length of the inflatable air cushion is insufficient, it can be connected to the next inflatable air cushion via the connecting buckles. Air cushion valves can be located at both ends of the inflatable air cushion, or spaced at regular intervals according to the specific dimensions of the inflatable air cushion, facilitating inflation and deflation. Air tube sleeves are provided to secure the air tubes during inflation, and limiting rings are provided to secure the flexible curtain wall panels. When the inflatable air cushion needs to be removed in step S4, the connecting buckles can be released to deflate the air cushion. A counterweight bag is designed at the bottom of the inflatable air cushion for adding counterweights, allowing the air cushion to quickly detach from the upper flexible curtain wall panels after deflation in step S4, facilitating the removal of the inflatable air cushion.

[0014] Preferably, the buckle assembly includes a clip A and a clip B, with one or more cavities on opposite sides of the clips A and B, and locking teeth within the cavities. The clips A and B are connected by a bolt, with the free end of the bolt positioned above the clip B. The clips A and B can be made of cast aluminum alloy, which provides high connection strength and strong underwater corrosion resistance. The bolt can be a high-strength bolt.

[0015] Preferably, the longitudinal frame includes a longitudinal cable, with a heart-shaped loop at both ends; the longitudinal cable is provided with a plurality of longitudinal cable interlocking eye loops at intervals, and the spacing between adjacent longitudinal cable interlocking eye loops is the width of the flexible curtain wall panel.

[0016] Preferably, in step S2, the flexible curtain wall panel is folded and hoisted to a predetermined position on the display platform, with an inflatable air cushion placed on the water surface below the platform. The upper end of the folded flexible curtain wall panel is stretched outward and laid flat on the inflatable air cushion, and the two sides of the flexible curtain wall panel are connected to the limiting rings. The inflatable air cushion is dragged forward while the flexible curtain wall panel is laid flat. When one inflatable air cushion is fully laid, the next inflatable air cushion is connected by a locking buckle. The process continues until the flexible curtain wall panel is completely laid flat on the inflatable air cushion. After multiple inflatable air cushions along with the flexible curtain wall panel are moved to the predetermined position on the water by a transport vessel, the connection between the two sides of the flexible curtain wall panel and the limiting rings is released. In step S2, when laying the flexible curtain wall panel, the two sides of the flexible curtain wall panel and the two sides of the air cushion can be fixed with cable ties to prevent misalignment. Before connecting the flexible curtain wall panels, the limiting straps between the edge of the flexible curtain wall panel and the inflatable air cushion below need to be untied to facilitate the removal of the inflatable air cushion in step S4.

[0017] Preferably, the inflatable float includes a cylindrical air cylinder with an air valve; the cylindrical air cylinder has multiple reinforcing bands along its length, arranged circumferentially; each reinforcing band has an A-connecting ring, and the multiple A-connecting rings are located on the same straight line. The cylindrical air cylinder can be made of PVC mesh fabric, with a high-strength, high-density base fabric in the middle and a PVC coating on both sides, exhibiting excellent tensile strength and airtightness. The specifications of the cylindrical air cylinder are determined according to the required buoyancy and specific circumstances.

[0018] Specifically, in step S3, when connecting adjacent flexible curtain wall panels, the A-piece buckle is placed below the B-piece buckle, the flexible curtain wall frames of the adjacent flexible curtain wall panels are placed into the cavity, and then the A-piece buckle and the B-piece buckle are tightened and locked with bolts.

[0019] Specifically, in step S3, when installing the longitudinal frame, the longitudinal cables are unfolded, the longitudinal cable eyelets correspond to the eyelets, and flexible shackles are used to connect the longitudinal cable eyelets to the eyelets.

[0020] Specifically, in step S3, a B connecting ring is installed on the buckle assembly. The lower part of the B connecting ring is connected to a bolt via threads. The A connecting ring and the B connecting ring are connected by a connecting rope. The length of the connecting rope is longer than the length of the inflatable float. Both ends of the connecting rope are tied to the buckle assembly, thereby connecting the inflatable float to the buckle assembly.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0022] 1. The flexible curtain wall splicing method of the present invention can safely, efficiently and energy-savingly carry out large-area curtain wall splicing operations on the water surface, and solves the technical problems of large curtain wall water transport and the construction of large water platforms.

[0023] 2. The flexible curtain wall water splicing method of the present invention splices on an inflatable air cushion platform, which is safe to operate; the flexible curtain wall single panel is displayed and spliced ​​on multiple working surfaces to form a circulating flow operation, which is highly efficient; only a small local inflatable air cushion platform needs to be built, and the inflatable air cushion can be reused. There is no need to build a large overall platform, which is economical and energy-saving. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0039] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other. For ease of description, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" used below only indicate that they correspond to the upper, lower, left, and right directions in the accompanying drawings and do not limit the structure.

[0040] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a flexible curtain wall splicing method on water includes a flexible curtain wall panel 1, an inflatable air cushion 2, a deployment platform 3, a towing vessel 4, a snap-fit ​​assembly 5, a longitudinal frame 6, a flexible shackle 7, and an inflatable pontoon 8.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, the flexible curtain wall panel 1 is a type of flexible curtain wall with a density slightly greater than water, comprising a flexible curtain wall panel 11, a flexible curtain wall frame 12, and interlocking eyelets 13. The flexible curtain wall panel 11 is a high-strength curtain fabric, the flexible curtain wall frame 12 is a polymer rope, and the interlocking eyelets 13 are made of the same material as the flexible curtain wall frame 12, evenly interlocked at 15.6m intervals on the flexible curtain wall frame 12 for connection to the longitudinal frame 6. Considering production capacity and transportation conditions, the flexible curtain wall panel 1 is 5m wide and its length does not exceed 300m. Figure 6 As shown, after the flexible curtain wall panel 1 leaves the factory, it is folded every 3m, back and forth.

[0042] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the inflatable air cushion 2 is a type of wire-drawn air cushion with dimensions of 24.7m * 4.7m * 0.15m. The inflatable air cushion 2 is equipped with reinforcing plates 21, locking buckles 22, limiting rings 23, air cushion valves 24, air tube sleeves 25, and counterweight bags 26. The locking buckles 22 are male and female fasteners, bonded to the ends of the inflatable air cushion 2 via the reinforcing plates 21. These locking buckles 22 are used for end-to-end connection between adjacent inflatable air cushions 2, and are evenly distributed at 1m intervals at the ends of the inflatable air cushions 2, for a total of 5. The limiting rings 23 are stainless steel rings with a diameter of 10cm, evenly distributed on both sides of the inflatable air cushion 2 at 2.5m intervals, used for temporarily fixing the flexible curtain wall panels 1 laid flat on the air cushion. Three air cushion valves 24 and several air tube sleeves 25 are also evenly distributed on one side of the inflatable air cushion 2; air tubes are installed inside the air tube sleeves 25 during inflation. Ten 0.3m*0.2m counterweight bags 26 are evenly distributed near the bottom of the inflatable air cushion 2 for assembling weights.

[0043] like Figure 9 As shown, the snap-fit ​​assembly 5 is an aluminum alloy high-pressure casting, characterized by high connection strength and excellent underwater performance. The snap-fit ​​assembly 5 includes an A-piece snap-fit ​​51, a B-piece snap-fit ​​52, a cavity 53, a locking tooth 54, a screw hole 55, a bolt 56, a fastening nut 57, and a self-locking nut 58. When connecting adjacent curtain walls, the A-piece is positioned below and the B-piece above. The flexible curtain wall frame 12 of the adjacent flexible curtain wall panels 1 is placed into the two cavities 53, and then secured and locked using the bolt 56. A hexagonal groove 59 is cut into the screw hole of the A-piece snap-fit ​​51 to hold the head of the bolt 56, facilitating tightening of the bolt 56.

[0044] like Figure 11 As shown, the longitudinal frame 6 is a polymer rope with excellent properties such as ultra-high strength-to-weight ratio, fatigue resistance, strong wear resistance, and long creep life. The longitudinal frame 6 includes longitudinal cables 61, longitudinal cable eyelets 62, and heart-shaped loops 63. The longitudinal cable eyelets 62 are evenly distributed on the longitudinal cables 61 every 5m, used to connect with the eyelets 13 on the flexible curtain wall frame 12. The heart-shaped loops 63 are located at the ends of the longitudinal cables 61, used for fixing the upper and lower ends of the entire flexible curtain wall.

[0045] The flexible shackle 7 is a slipknot used to fasten the longitudinal cable interlocking eye loop 62 and interlocking eye loop 13 when the polymer rope of the same material as the flexible curtain wall frame 12 is connected. It has high strength and is not easy to loosen.

[0046] like Figure 12As shown, the inflatable pontoon 8 is a long cylindrical air cylinder made of high-strength PVC mesh fabric, possessing good airtightness. The inflatable pontoon 8 includes a cylindrical air cylinder 81, reinforcing bands 82, air valves 83, and A-connecting rings 84. The diameter of the cylindrical air cylinder 81 is determined according to the required buoyancy, and the length of the cylindrical air cylinder 81 is determined according to the shape of the flexible curtain wall panel 1, with a maximum length of 50m. An air valve 83 is provided on the cylindrical air cylinder 81, and multiple reinforcing bands 82 are provided along the length of the cylindrical air cylinder 81. These reinforcing bands 82 are arranged circumferentially along the cylindrical air cylinder 81, and A-connecting rings 84 are provided on each reinforcing band 82. Multiple A-connecting rings 84 are located on the same straight line, and the reinforcing bands 82 and A-connecting rings 84 are evenly spaced 1m apart.

[0047] The present invention provides a method for flexible curtain wall splicing on water, comprising the following steps:

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, a reservoir needs to construct a super-large flexible curtain wall of approximately 64,000 square meters on the water surface. The longest side is 470.4 meters, the shortest side is 31.2 meters, and the width is 180 meters. To facilitate transportation and assembly, the entire flexible curtain wall is divided into 36 panels, each 5 meters long. Panels 1-22 are further divided into two sections, for a total of 58 panels. The flexible curtain wall panels 11 are surrounded by a flexible curtain wall frame 12. Longitudinal frames 6 are arranged every 15.6 meters along the longitudinal direction of the entire flexible curtain wall, for a total of 31 frames. The longitudinal seam 9 of the curtain wall is located at the 13th longitudinal frame ZS-13.

[0049] Step S1: Based on the position of the flexible curtain wall panel 1 within the entire flexible curtain wall, number the 58 flexible curtain wall panels 1 as MB-1-01, MB-1-02, MB-2-01, MB-2-02, ..., MB-23, ..., MB-36, and then... Figure 6 The folded transport is shown. Among them, Figure 6 The direction of the middle arrow indicates the unfolding direction of the flexible curtain wall panel 1.

[0050] Step S2: Fold the flexible curtain wall panel 1MB-1-01 and hoist it to the predetermined position on the display platform 3, such as... Figure 1As shown, the inflatable air cushion 2 is placed on the water surface below it. Flexible curtain wall panels 1 are then laid flat onto the inflatable air cushion 2, and cable ties are used to connect the limiting rings 23 on both sides of the inflatable air cushion 2 to the flexible curtain wall panels 1 to prevent misalignment. The flexible curtain wall panels 1 are 5m wide, and the inflatable air cushion 2 is 4.7m wide. When the flexible curtain wall panels 1 are laid flat on the air cushion, a 15cm gap is left on each side for easy splicing. The inflatable air cushion 2 is dragged forward while the flexible curtain wall panels 1 are laid flat. The flexible curtain wall panels 1 are longer than a single inflatable air cushion 2. When the inflatable air cushion 2 is fully laid, another inflatable air cushion 2 is attached to the end, and the laying of flexible curtain wall panels 1 continues until they are completely laid flat on the inflatable air cushion 2. A towing vessel 4 is used to drift the multiple inflatable air cushions 2 connected end-to-end, along with the flexible curtain wall panels 1MB-1-01, to a predetermined position on the water surface. Figure 2 As shown, the flexible curtain wall panels 1MB-1-02, MB-2-01, and MB-2-02 are laid flat on the air cushion and dragged to the predetermined position according to the above method. After the connection between the limiting ring 23 and the flexible curtain wall panel 1 is released, the splicing operation of these four flexible curtain walls begins.

[0051] Step S3, as follows Figure 10 As shown, the snap-fit ​​assembly 5 is transported to the temporary inflatable air cushion platform 2. On the inflatable air cushion platform 2, the snap-fit ​​assembly 5 clamps the adjacent flexible curtain wall frames 12 of the four flexible curtain walls, evenly spaced at 15cm intervals, and secured and locked with bolts. The longitudinal joints 9 of the flexible curtain wall sections are also connected using the snap-fit ​​assembly 5. The 31 bundled longitudinal frames 6 are transported to their corresponding positions on the flexible curtain wall. The longitudinal cables 61 are unfolded, and the longitudinal cable eyelets 62 are aligned with the eyelets 13. Flexible shackles 7 are used to connect the longitudinal cable eyelets 62 and 13, achieving the purpose of installing the longitudinal frames 6. Figure 13 As shown, the inflatable float 8 is transported to the flexible curtain wall frame 12, which has been snapped together and installed with the longitudinal frame 6. Every 1m, a special B connecting ring 85 is installed on the snap-fit ​​assembly 5 of the flexible curtain wall frame 12. The lower part of the B connecting ring 85 is nut-shaped and screwed into the bolt 56. A polymer connecting rope 86 is used to cross the A connecting ring 84 and the B connecting ring 85. The connecting rope 86 is slightly longer than the length of the cylindrical air cylinder 81. The two ends of the connecting rope 86 are tied to the snap-fit ​​assembly 5 to efficiently connect the inflatable float 8.

[0052] Step S4, as follows Figure 3As shown, the air cushion 2 under the first flexible curtain wall panel 1, after the above-mentioned operations of connecting the buckle assembly 5, installing the longitudinal frame 6, and installing the inflatable float 8 have been completed, is deflated. Divers go underwater one by one to evacuate the air pipes connecting the inflatable air cushion 2, and unlock the buckles 22 between the inflatable air cushions 2. The inflatable air cushion 2 sinks into the water under the action of the counterweight and detaches from the flexible curtain wall panel 1. Then, a tugboat is used to extract the individual inflatable air cushion 2. The inflatable air cushion 2 under curtain walls MB-1-02, MB-2-01, and MB-2-02 are also extracted and float on the water surface through the inflatable float 8.

[0053] Step S5: Transport the inflatable air cushion 2 back to the shore, inflate it, and then tow it to the deployment platform 3 to lay the curtain wall flat, repeating the process. The curtain wall laying, splicing, and removal of the inflatable air cushion 2 are carried out simultaneously on three work surfaces, forming a safe, efficient, and economical continuous operation until the entire flexible curtain wall is spliced ​​on the water surface. Figure 4 As shown.

[0054] The above embodiments should be understood as being used only to illustrate the present invention more clearly, and not to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, any modifications of the present invention in various equivalent forms by those skilled in the art fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
