[0035] Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a spatially bent unit glass curtain wall, comprising:

[0037] Columns;

[0038] The crossbeam 2 is fixedly connected to the column;

[0039] Insert 3 is inserted into the column.

[0040] The curtain wall glass is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 2.

[0041] In this embodiment, the bending degree of the column can be adjusted by inserting the insert 3, enabling the arrangement of glass panels with different angles and curved shapes. This results in higher installation accuracy of the curtain wall glass panels and a simpler, more aesthetically pleasing architectural effect. The insert 3 provides support for the column, preventing deformation and solving the connection problem of complex spatial structures. The insert 3 can be precisely processed and quality controlled in the factory, reducing the need for on-site processing and adjustment, making installation more convenient and improving construction efficiency. The use of the insert 3 allows for translational adjustment in two degrees of freedom within three-dimensional space, thereby enabling changes in the angle of the curtain wall glass panels. This allows the glass curtain wall system to better adapt to the irregular shapes and curved lines of buildings, and can be flexibly applied in buildings of different architectural forms and styles, enhancing the adaptability and plasticity of the curtain wall system.

[0042] In this embodiment, the columns and beams 2 are the main structures supporting and connecting the curtain wall glass, with the curtain wall glass installed on the beams 2. The insert 3, as a standard component, is inserted into the column, allowing the column to bend vertically, adapting to specific design requirements and achieving the curved shape of the curtain wall system. The insert 3 is a standard component suitable for spatial bending unit glass curtain walls, solving the connection problem of complex spatial structures. Standard components have uniform dimensions and specifications, simplifying the construction and assembly process of the curtain wall and reducing construction difficulty and time. Designing the spatial bending unit glass curtain wall as prefabricated and modular components can improve the installation efficiency of the curtain wall. Prefabricated components can be precisely processed and quality controlled in the factory, reducing the need for on-site processing and adjustment. The modular design makes the connection between components simpler and faster, improving installation speed and accuracy.

[0043] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the column comprises:

[0044] First column 11, second column 12 and third column 13;

[0045] The first column 11 is connected to the third column 13 through the second column 12.

[0046] In this embodiment, the columns are made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy has a lower density, making it lighter than other materials such as steel. This reduces the weight of the entire curtain wall system, decreases the load on the building structure, and improves the convenience of construction and installation. Aluminum alloy also has good corrosion resistance, resisting oxidation and corrosion in the atmosphere, extending the service life of the columns, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement, and lowering maintenance costs. Although relatively lightweight, aluminum alloy still possesses high strength and rigidity, enabling the aluminum alloy columns to withstand the loads and wind pressure of the building's exterior walls, ensuring the structural stability and safety of the curtain wall system. Furthermore, aluminum alloy has good machinability, allowing for the manufacture of columns with the required shape and size through cutting, forming, and welding processes. This system can meet the requirements of different building facade designs, improving manufacturing flexibility and efficiency. The combination of the first column 11, the second column 12, and the third column 13 allows for the arrangement of columns of different shapes and curves, satisfying diverse needs in building facade design and creating a more unique and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Controlling the length of the third column 13 allows for adjustment and variation of the angle between the glass panel and the first column 11, adapting to complex spatial structures and building forms, enabling the curtain wall system to better adapt to curved, bent, and irregular building shapes. The connection between the first column 11 and the second and third columns 12 enhances the stability and strength of the connection, allowing the curtain wall system to better maintain stability and safety when facing external loads and wind pressure.

[0047] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the column and the insert 3 are provided with a plurality of sets of matching screw holes 14.

[0048] In this embodiment, by opening screw holes 14 on the column and the insert 3, screws 15 can be used to fix the column and the insert 3 together, ensuring a firm and stable connection between the column and the insert, and enhancing the structural stability of the entire curtain wall system. The design of the screw holes 14 makes the connection between the column and the insert 3 simpler and more convenient. Construction workers only need to insert the screws 15 into the holes and tighten them to complete the connection, saving construction time and labor costs. The screw holes 14 can ensure the connection accuracy between the column and the insert 3. Through the precise hole arrangement and the tightness of the screws 15 insertion, the accuracy and stability of the connection can be guaranteed, improving the accuracy of the curtain wall installation and making the joints and connection points of the glass curtain wall more concealed and aesthetically pleasing.

[0049] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the insert 3 includes a first core plate 31, a second core plate 32 and a third core plate 33, wherein the first core plate 31 is connected to the third core plate 33 through the second core plate 32; the first core plate 31, the second core plate 32 and the third core plate 33 are integrally formed.

[0050] In this embodiment, the insert 3 is a special cast aluminum profile. Cast aluminum has high strength and stability, which can ensure the structural stability and load-bearing capacity of the insert, enabling it to withstand the load and wind pressure of the curtain wall system. Cast aluminum also has good corrosion resistance, resisting oxidation and corrosion in the atmosphere, which can extend the service life of the insert, reduce the frequency of maintenance and replacement, and lower maintenance costs. The second core plate 32 is the bending position of the insert 3, giving the insert 3 a bent shape. Since the first core plate 31, the second core plate 32, and the third core plate 33 are integrally formed to form the insert 3, the insert 3 is inserted into the column, providing a more stable and reliable connection. In specific applications, the insert 3 is a prefabricated component, which is precisely processed and quality controlled in the factory in advance, reducing the need for on-site processing and adjustment, making the connection between components simpler and faster, and improving installation speed and accuracy.

[0051] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the first column 11 is sleeved on the outside of the first core plate 31, and the first column 11 and the first core plate 31 are connected by screws 15.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first core plate 31 is the lower end of the insert 3, which is sleeved with the first column 11 to achieve a stable connection. The fixing connection of the screw 15 further enhances the connection stability between the insert 3 and the first column 11, ensuring the structural integrity of the curtain wall system. The sleeve and screw 15 fixing connection design makes the connection between the insert 3 and the first column 11 simpler and faster. Construction workers only need to sleeve the lower end of the insert 3 onto the first column 11 and fix it with screws to complete the connection, saving construction time and costs. The sleeve and screw 15 fixing connection design can make the connection point between the insert 3 and the first column 11 more concealed, thereby improving the aesthetic effect of the curtain wall system. The concealment of the connection point reduces visual interference and makes the building appearance simpler and more beautiful.

[0053] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the second column 12 is sleeved on the outside of the second core plate 32, and the second column 12 and the second core plate 32 are connected by screws 15.

[0054] In this embodiment, the second core plate 32 is the bending position of the insert 3, which is sleeved with the second column 12 to achieve a stable connection. The fixing connection of the screw 15 further strengthens the connection stability between the insert 3 and the second column 12, ensuring the structural integrity of the curtain wall system. The sleeve connection between the bending position of the insert 3 and the second column 12 strengthens the connection at the bending point. Through the sleeve connection and the fixing with the screw 15, the bending position can be made more secure, increasing its load-bearing capacity and ensuring the stability and safety of the curtain wall system when facing external loads and wind pressure. The bending position, through the second column 12, connects to the third column 1. The first column 11 and the second column 3 form a complete column transition. The design of the sleeve and screw 15 for fixing makes the connection between the core 3 and the second column 12 simpler and faster. The construction workers only need to sleeve the second column 12 on the bent position of the core 3 and fix it with screw 15 to complete the connection, saving construction time and cost. The design of the sleeve and screw 15 for fixing makes the connection point between the core 3 and the second column 12 more concealed, thereby improving the aesthetic effect of the curtain wall system. The concealment of the connection point reduces visual interference and makes the building appearance simpler and more beautiful.

[0055] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the third column 13 is sleeved on the outside of the third core plate 33 and connected by screws 15.

[0056] In this embodiment, the upper end of the insert 3 is sleeved with the third column 13, achieving a stable connection. The fixing connection of the screw 15 further enhances the connection stability between the insert 3 and the third column 13, ensuring the structural integrity of the curtain wall system. The sleeve and screw 15 fixing connection design makes the connection between the insert 3 and the third column 13 simpler and faster. Construction workers only need to sleeve the third column 13 onto the insert 3 and fix it with the screw 15 to complete the connection, saving construction time and costs. The sleeve and screw 15 fixing connection design can make the connection point between the insert 3 and the third column 13 more concealed, thereby improving the aesthetic effect of the curtain wall system. The concealment of the connection point reduces visual interference, making the building appearance simpler and more beautiful.

[0057] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the crossbeam 2 is fixedly connected to the second column 12 by screws 15.

[0058] In this embodiment, the crossbeam 2 is fixedly connected to the second column 12 by screws 15, which ensures the connection strength between the crossbeam 2 and the second column 12, thereby increasing the load-bearing capacity of the connection point and enabling the curtain wall system to withstand external loads and wind pressure. The design of the screw 15 fixed connection makes the connection between the crossbeam 2 and the second column 12 simpler and faster. Construction workers only need to abut the crossbeam 2 and the second column 12 together and fix them with screws 15 to complete the connection, saving construction time and costs. Moreover, the connection point is more concealed, improving the aesthetic effect of the curtain wall system. The concealment of the connection point reduces visual interference, making the building appearance cleaner and more beautiful.

[0059] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the first core plate 31 and the second core plate 32 of the insert 3 form a first preset angle 34; the second core plate 32 and the third core plate 33 of the insert 3 form a second preset angle 35.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first core plate 31 and the second core plate 32 of the insert 3 form a first preset angle 34, while the second core plate 32 and the third core plate 33 form a second preset angle 35. The preset angles 34 and 35 are used to adjust the connection angle and position between the insert 3 and the column, which can change the arrangement of glass panels with different angles and curves. When the insert 3 is prefabricated in the factory, the first preset angle 34 and the second preset angle 35 can be adjusted according to the construction requirements, thereby adjusting the bending angle of the insert 3 and thus changing the angle of the glass panel. By designing and manufacturing standard insert 3 suitable for spatial bending unit glass curtain walls, the connection problem of complex spatial structures can be solved. Standard parts have uniform dimensions and specifications, and precise processing and quality control are carried out in the factory in advance, which can simplify the construction and assembly process of the curtain wall and reduce construction difficulty and time.

[0061] Construction process: First, install the columns, then insert the first core plate 31 of the insert 3 into the first column 11 and fix it with screws 15. The third column 13 is fitted onto the third core plate 33 of the insert 3 and fixed with bolts. The second core plate 32 of the insert 3 is bent through the second column 12 so that the third column 13 and the first column 11 form a complete column. The crossbeam 2 is fixedly connected to the second column 12 at the bent position of the insert 3 with screws 15. The curtain wall glass is installed on the crossbeam 2. The crossbeam 2 is connected to the second core plate 32 of the insert 3. The angle change of the first preset angle 34 and the second preset angle 35 on the insert 3 realizes the angle change of the glass panel.

[0062] The above description represents the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
