Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aluminum panel curtain wall technology, specifically relating to a self-cleaning aluminum panel for exterior walls and its installation method. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum single-layer panels are commonly used for exterior wall decoration due to their light weight, good plasticity, and high strength. To enable the exterior wall to have a self-cleaning function, existing technologies often use self-cleaning coatings. Conventional self-cleaning coatings are divided into two types according to their characteristics: superhydrophobic coatings and hydrophilic coatings. Superhydrophobic coatings are similar to the hydrophobic principle of lotus leaves, where water droplets roll and carry away the adhering dust. The disadvantage is poor durability. Hydrophilic coatings, such as nano titanium dioxide coatings, work by providing a highly hydrophilic surface, allowing water to form a uniform water film on the coating surface. When it rains, a flowing water film is formed, which can be used to wash away the dust with the help of rainwater. After the rain stops, the remaining water film disappears naturally after drying, resulting in high durability.

[0003] Hydrophilic coatings are often used as self-cleaning coatings for exterior wall panels due to their longer service life. However, hydrophilic self-cleaning coatings have the following drawbacks: the water film on their surface needs to dry naturally to disappear. In some areas, rainwater contains a lot of impurities. Although rainwater washes away most of the dust on the surface of the hydrophilic self-cleaning coating, the final water film is still rainwater with a small amount of impurities. After drying, a small amount of dust will still flow off. Therefore, existing aluminum panels lack the function of actively removing the water film. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-cleaning aluminum exterior wall panel and its installation method in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A self-cleaning aluminum exterior wall panel, comprising

[0007] An aluminum single-panel assembly includes a panel with a hydrophilic self-cleaning coating on the front and at least two sets of fixing buckles on the back of the panel, wherein both ends of the fixing buckles are provided with barbs.

[0008] I-beam keel, which is used for vertical connection to the exterior wall to fix aluminum single panel components, includes a base section facing the wall, a front section facing the aluminum single panel components, and a middle section;

[0009] A vibration assembly includes vertical bars slidably disposed on both sides of a middle section, the surface of the vertical bars being provided with barb grooves for connecting with barb parts, and a vibration motor being provided at the top of the vertical bars for providing vibration to the aluminum single panel assembly to eliminate water film.

[0010] The clamping component is used to clamp the vertical bar as it slides towards the base section, so as to pull the hook piece through the hook groove and thus tighten the aluminum single panel assembly to complete the fixation.

[0011] As a further optimization of the present invention, the self-cleaning coating adopts nano-titanium dioxide coating. This material is an existing technology for self-cleaning exterior wall decorative panel coatings and has good self-cleaning ability due to its hydrophilicity.

[0012] As a further optimization of the present invention, the base segment is fixed to the outer wall by a fastener, which includes a fixing bolt and an extension welded to the base segment. This structure facilitates the fixing of the I-shaped keel to the wall.

[0013] As a further optimization of the present invention, a first through hole is provided on the surface of the middle section, and the vertical strips on both sides of the middle section are fixed to each other by a first connecting bolt. The first connecting bolt passes through the first through hole, and the first connecting bolt has space for vertical and horizontal sliding within the first through hole. The horizontal sliding space is used to enable the vertical strips to have the ability to tighten the aluminum single panel assembly. The vertical strips on both sides of the middle section can be connected to each other through the first connecting bolt, so as to reinforce each other and limit the sliding direction and sliding range.

[0014] As a further optimization of the present invention, the first through hole gradually widens from the base section to the front section. When the vertical bar is pressed, in order to reduce the swaying of the vertical bar, the side of the first through hole near the base section is narrow to achieve the purpose of clamping the first connecting bolt. The side of the first through hole near the front section is wider, so that the first connecting bolt has room to move, so that the vertical bar can vibrate and transmit the vibration to the aluminum single panel body, so that the water film is shaken off by the vibration.

[0015] As a further optimization of the present invention, the clamping component includes sliding strips disposed on both sides of the middle section, a second connecting bolt disposed between the two sliding strips, the second connecting bolt passing through a second through hole opened on the front section surface, and the second connecting bolt being able to slide up and down along the second through hole, the sliding strips sliding up and down via a driving member, a pressing rod hinged to the side surface of the sliding strip, the pressing rod having an angle limiting structure, and an elastic pad disposed at the end of the pressing rod, the present invention further defines the specific structure of the clamping component and the method of clamping the vibration component, after the rain stops, the clamping component achieves batch release, the vertical strips are not clamped and have vibration space to achieve the purpose of vibrating the water removal film, and after the water removal film is removed, it is clamped again to achieve the purpose of fixing.

[0016] As a further optimization of the present invention, the driving component includes a threaded rod disposed at the end of the sliding bar, and a geared motor with a threaded cylinder at the output shaft end is disposed at the end of the I-shaped keel. The threaded cylinder is connected to the threaded rod to drive the sliding bar to slide up and down. The geared motor is used as the driving source to drive the sliding bar to slide up and down.

[0017] To install the aforementioned aluminum panels, the present invention also proposes an installation method, comprising the following steps:

[0018] S1: Install the I-beam keel vertically on the exterior wall, and install the vibration component and the clamping component on the middle section of the I-beam keel;

[0019] S2: Place the barbed parts of the board into the barbed groove, so that the board is hung on the surface of the I-beam keel by the fixing buckle;

[0020] S3: Move the vertical bar in the opposite direction of the plate by pressing the component, and tighten the hook piece by pressing the vertical bar.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0022] This invention uses a tensioning fixing method to fix aluminum panels. This fixing can be achieved by unlocking and vibrating a row of aluminum panels through a geared motor and a vibration motor. After rain, the pressure effect of the vertical bars is released by the geared motor, so that the vertical bars and aluminum panel components have the space to vibrate. Then, the water film is shaken off by small-amplitude vibration. After shaking off, the vertical bars are pressed again by the geared motor, and the aluminum panel components are fixed by tensioning.

[0029] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a self-cleaning aluminum exterior wall panel includes...

[0032] The aluminum single panel assembly 2 includes a panel 21 with a hydrophilic self-cleaning coating 24 on the front side, and at least two sets of fixing buckles 22 provided on the back side of the panel 21, with barbs 23 provided at both ends of the fixing buckles 22.

[0033] I-beam keel 1, which is used to vertically connect to the exterior wall and to fix the aluminum single panel assembly 2, includes a base section 11 facing the wall, a front section 13 facing the aluminum single panel assembly 2, and a middle section 12.

[0034] The vibration assembly 3 includes vertical bars 31 that are slidably disposed on both sides of the middle section 12. The surface of the vertical bars 31 is provided with barb grooves 32 that are connected to the barb 23. The top of the vertical bars 31 is provided with a vibration motor 34 for providing vibration to the aluminum single panel assembly 2 to eliminate water film.

[0035] The clamping component 4 is used to clamp the vertical bar 31 to slide towards the base section 11 so as to pull the hook part 23 through the hook groove 32 and then tighten the aluminum single panel assembly 24 to complete the fixation.

[0036] In this solution, a tensioning fixing method is used to fix the aluminum panels. This fixing can be achieved by unlocking and vibrating a row of aluminum panels through a reduction motor 42 and a vibration motor 34. After rain, the pressure effect of the reduction motor 42 on the vertical bar 31 is released, so that the vertical bar 31 and the aluminum panel assembly 2 have room to move. Then, the water film is shaken off by a small amplitude vibration. After shaking off, the vertical bar 31 is pressed again by the reduction motor 42, and the aluminum panel assembly 2 is fixed by tensioning.

[0037] Self-cleaning coating 2 uses nano-titanium dioxide coating. This material is an existing technology for self-cleaning exterior wall decorative panel coatings. It has good self-cleaning ability due to its hydrophilicity and is durable.

[0038] The base segment 11 is fixed to the outer wall by a fastener 14, which includes a fixing bolt and an extension welded to the base segment 11. This structure facilitates the fixing of the I-shaped keel 1 to the wall.

[0039] The surface of the middle section 12 is provided with a first through hole 15. The vertical strips 31 on both sides of the middle section 12 are fixed to each other by a first connecting bolt 33. The first connecting bolt 33 passes through the first through hole 15 and has space for vertical and horizontal sliding within the first through hole 15. The horizontal sliding space is used to enable the vertical strips 31 to have the ability to tighten the aluminum single panel assembly 2. The vertical strips 31 on both sides of the middle section 12 can be connected to each other through the first connecting bolt 33 to reinforce each other and limit the sliding direction and sliding range. Specifically, during production and installation, the two vertical strips 31 can be pre-installed and connected to the middle section 12.

[0040] The first through hole 15 gradually widens from the base section 11 towards the front section 13. When the vertical bar 31 is pressed against, in order to reduce the shaking of the vertical bar 31, the side of the first through hole 15 near the base section 11 is narrow, so as to clamp the first connecting bolt 33. The side of the first through hole 15 near the front section 13 is wider, so that when the vertical bar 31 is not pressed against, the first connecting bolt 33 has room to move, so that the vertical bar 31 can vibrate and transmit the vibration to the aluminum single panel assembly 2, so as to shake off the water film.

[0041] The clamping assembly 4 includes sliding strips 41 disposed on both sides of the middle section 12. A second connecting bolt 46 is disposed between the two sliding strips 41. The second connecting bolt 46 passes through a second through hole 16 opened on the surface of the front section 13 and can slide up and down along the second through hole 16. The sliding strips 41 slide up and down via a driving component. A clamping rod 45 is hinged to the side surface of the sliding strips 41. The clamping rod 45 has an angle limiting structure. An elastic pad is also provided at the end of the clamping rod 45 to prevent slippage during the clamping of the vertical strips 31. This solution further defines the specific structure of the clamping assembly 4 and the method of clamping the vibration assembly 3. After the rain stops, the clamping assembly 3 achieves batch release. After the vertical strips 31 are not clamped, they have vibration space to vibrate and remove the water film. After the water film is removed, they are clamped again to fix them. This is specifically achieved by the clamping rod 45 hinged to the surface of the sliding strips 41. The clamping rod 45 has an angle limiting structure, such as... Figure 2 As shown, when the clamping rod 45 is perpendicular to the vertical bar 31, it is in the clamping state. When the sliding bar 41 moves upward, the clamping rod 45 tilts and loses its clamping effect.

[0042] The driving component includes a threaded rod 43 disposed at the end of the sliding bar 41, and a geared motor 42 with a threaded cylinder 44 at the output shaft end of the I-shaped keel 1. The threaded cylinder 44 is connected to the threaded rod 43 to drive the sliding bar 41 to slide up and down. The geared motor 42 is used as the driving source to drive the sliding bar 41 to slide up and down.

[0043] To install the aforementioned aluminum panels, the present invention also proposes an installation method, comprising the following steps:

[0044] S1: Install the I-shaped keel 1 vertically on the exterior wall, fix the two vertical bars 31 of the vibration component 3 to each other through the first connecting bolt 33, the first connecting bolt 33 passes through the first through hole 15, and then fix the sliding bar 41 of the abutting component 4 through the second connecting bolt 46, the second connecting bolt 46 passes through the second through hole 16;

[0045] S2: Place the barb 23 of the panel 21 into the barb groove 32, so that the panel 21 is hung on the surface of the I-shaped keel 1 by the fixing buckle 22, so that the aluminum single panel assembly 2 is wall-mounted on the I-shaped keel 1, and each panel 21 has at least four barb 23 connected to the barb groove 32.

[0046] S3: The vertical bar 31 is moved in the opposite direction to the plate 21 by the clamping component 4, so that the speed reduction motor 42 drives the sliding bar 41 to slide, and the clamping rod 45 presses the vertical bar 31 towards the base section 11, and the barb 23 is tightened by the vertical bar 31.

[0047] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
