Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of steel structure building technology, specifically to a steel structure building curtain wall and its operation method. Background Technology

[0002] A curtain wall is a non-load-bearing exterior wall cladding for a building, hung like a curtain, hence also called a "curtain wall." It is a lightweight wall structure commonly used in modern large and high-rise buildings for decorative purposes. Composed of panels and a supporting structural system, it is a building envelope or decorative structure that can have a certain degree of displacement relative to the main structure or can deform itself, without bearing the load of the main structure (an exterior wall frame support system is also a type of curtain wall system). A glass curtain wall refers to a building envelope or decorative structure that, through its supporting structural system, can have a certain degree of displacement relative to the main structure and does not share the load of the main structure. The wall can be single-layered or double-layered with glass. Glass curtain walls are an aesthetically pleasing and novel method of building wall decoration, a prominent feature of the modernist high-rise building era.

[0003] In the prior art, patent publication number CN117587964A discloses a curtain wall design for an apartment building, including a wall body. When the user needs to open the curtain wall body, the present invention drives a first motor to rotate a transmission rod and a first gear upwards. This causes the first gear to move a gear plate and a fixed plate upwards, causing the curtain wall body to retract to the upper part of the wall interior. Simultaneously, as the gear plate moves upwards, a folding shield unfolds via a folding device to shield the user from sun or rain. When the folding shield needs to be retracted, a second motor drives a winding device to rotate, causing the winding device to wind up a winding rope. The winding rope folds the folding shield through a pull ring. In strong winds, the curtain wall body can be cushioned by a shock-absorbing spring to prevent it from being torn open by the wind. A sealing ring seals the curtain wall body to prevent wind and rain from entering. The structure is simple and easy to operate, using folding shields to block sun and rain from the user.

[0004] The above technical solutions solve the problem of preventing rainwater from entering when opening windows in the curtain wall. However, the structure of the above technical solutions is relatively complex, and the baffle method has poor effect on blocking rainwater from both sides. Therefore, a steel structure building curtain wall process that solves the above problems is needed.

[0005] Therefore, based on its many years of experience in design, development and actual production in the relevant industry, the applicant has studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a steel structure building curtain wall in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Summary of the Invention

[0006] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a steel structure building curtain wall that solves the problems of relatively complex structures and poor rain protection from both sides when using baffles.

[0008] (II) Technical Solution

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0010] A steel structure building curtain wall includes a curtain wall body, which is a plate-shaped structure with windows. An installation block is installed on the upper part of the windows of the curtain wall body. The installation block is a strip-shaped structure with grooves inside. A sealing plate is slidably embedded in the groove of the installation block. Multiple downward pressure springs are connected to the upper part of the sealing plate. A fixed column is installed on the lower part of the installation block. A rotating column is rotatably fitted on the fixed column. A rotating window is installed at the lower end of the rotating column. Side baffles are rotatably connected to the upper inner sides of the rotating window. A folding fan structure is installed on the side baffles and connected to the rotating window. An elastic rope connects the lower part of the side baffles and the lower part of the rotating window.

[0011] Preferably, the sealing plate is made of wear-resistant rubber, thereby reducing its wear while providing a certain amount of friction.

[0012] Preferably, a limiting plate is installed at the lower end of the side baffle to restrict the position of the side baffle and prevent it from coming off outward.

[0013] Preferably, the folding fan structure is made of an elastic material with a fan-shaped wave structure, which allows it to be folded and opened.

[0014] Preferably, the elastic rope is a rope-like structure made of elastic synthetic rubber, which provides elasticity to pull the side baffle. The side baffle is rotatably connected by being sleeved on a rotating column and rotatably connected with the rotating column as the axis.

[0015] An operation method for a steel structure building curtain wall specifically includes the following steps:

[0016] S1: The rotating column is squeezed by the sealing plate compressed by the downward spring inside the mounting block on the curtain wall body;

[0017] S2: Then, as the rotating column rotates, the sealing plate always presses and seals the rotating column to prevent external rainfall from entering through the gap between the rotating column and the mounting block;

[0018] S3: Because the squeezing action of the sealing plate creates friction on the rotating column, it thus plays a certain role in fixing the opening angle of the rotating window when it is opened.

[0019] S4: When the rotating window is opened, the elastic rope pulls the side baffle to rotate together. When the side baffle rotates to be parallel with the curtain wall body;

[0020] S5: Continue pushing the rotating window to open. The rotating window stretches the elastic rope, which in turn opens the folding fan structure, thereby blocking the sides of the rotating window to prevent rainwater from entering through the sides.

[0021] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0022] This invention provides a steel structure building curtain wall and its operation method. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] Through this structural design, the sealing plate, compressed by a downward-pressing spring within the mounting block on the curtain wall body, squeezes the rotating column. As the rotating column rotates, the sealing plate continuously compresses and seals it, preventing external rainwater from entering through the gap between the rotating column and the mounting block. The squeezing action of the sealing plate also creates friction on the rotating column, thus fixing the opening angle of the rotating window. When the rotating window opens, the elastic rope pulls the side baffle to rotate together. When the side baffle rotates to be parallel to the curtain wall body, it continues to push the rotating window open, stretching the elastic rope and opening the folding fan structure. This effectively shields both sides of the rotating window, preventing rainwater from entering through them. This device is easy to implement and effectively prevents rainwater from entering the window. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-2 This invention provides a technical solution: a steel structure building curtain wall, including a curtain wall body 1, the curtain wall body 1 is a plate-shaped structure with windows, an installation block 2 is installed in the upper part of the window of the curtain wall body 1, the installation block 2 is a strip-shaped structure with grooves inside, a sealing plate 3 is slidably embedded in the groove of the installation block 2, a plurality of downward pressure springs 4 are connected to the upper part of the sealing plate 3, a fixed column 5 is installed in the lower part of the installation block 2, a rotating column 6 is rotatably sleeved on the fixed column 5, a rotating window 7 is installed at the lower end of the rotating column 6, side baffles 8 are rotatably connected to the upper sides of the inner side of the rotating window 7, a folding fan structure 9 is installed on the side baffle 8, the folding fan structure 9 is connected to the rotating window 7, and an elastic rope 10 is connected between the lower part of the side baffle 8 and the lower part of the rotating window 7.

[0031] The sealing plate 3 is made of wear-resistant rubber, which reduces wear while providing a certain amount of friction.

[0032] A limiting plate 11 is installed at the lower end of the side baffle 8 to restrict the position of the side baffle 8 so that the side baffle 8 will not come out.

[0033] The folding fan structure 9 is made of a flexible material with a fan-shaped wave structure, which allows it to be folded and opened.

[0034] The elastic rope 10 is a rope-like structure made of elastic synthetic rubber, which provides elasticity to pull the side baffle 8. The side baffle 8 is rotatably connected by being sleeved on the rotating column 6 and rotatably connected with the rotating column 6 as the axis.

[0035] An operation method for a steel structure building curtain wall specifically includes the following steps:

[0036] S1: The rotating column 6 is squeezed by the sealing plate 3 compressed by the downward spring 4 in the mounting block 2 on the curtain wall body 1;

[0037] S2: Then, as the rotating column 6 rotates, the sealing plate 3 always presses and seals the rotating column 6 to prevent external rainfall from entering through the gap between the rotating column 6 and the mounting block 2.

[0038] S3: Because the squeezing action of the sealing plate 3 has a frictional effect on the rotating column 6, it can fix the opening angle of the rotating window 7 when it is opened.

[0039] S4: When the rotating window 7 is opened, the elastic rope 10 pulls the side baffle 8 to rotate together. When the side baffle 8 rotates to be parallel to the curtain wall body 1;

[0040] S5: Continue to push the rotating window 7 to open the rotating window 7 and stretch the elastic rope 10 to open the folding fan structure 9, thereby blocking the two sides of the rotating window 7 to prevent rainwater from entering through the two sides.

[0041] In the first embodiment, during operation, the sealing plate 3, compressed by the downward spring 4 within the mounting block 2 on the curtain wall body 1, presses against the rotating column 6. Thus, as the rotating column 6 rotates, the sealing plate 3 continuously presses and seals against it, preventing external rainwater from entering through the gap between the rotating column 6 and the mounting block 2. Furthermore, the pressing action of the sealing plate 3 creates friction against the rotating column 6, thereby fixing the opening angle of the rotating window 7 when it is opened. When the rotating window 7 opens, the elastic rope 10 pulls the side baffle 8 to rotate together. When the side baffle 8 rotates to be parallel to the curtain wall body 1, it continues to push the rotating window 7 open, stretching the elastic rope 10 and opening the folding fan structure 9, thus shielding both sides of the rotating window 7 to prevent rainwater from entering through the sides.

[0042] In summary, this structural design utilizes a sealing plate compressed by a downward-pressing spring within the mounting block on the curtain wall body to press against the rotating column. This ensures the sealing plate maintains pressure and seals the rotating column as it rotates, preventing external rainwater from entering through the gap between the rotating column and the mounting block. Furthermore, the pressure from the sealing plate creates friction on the rotating column, thus fixing the opening angle of the rotating window. When the rotating window opens, an elastic rope pulls the side baffle to rotate together. When the side baffle rotates to be parallel to the curtain wall body, it further pushes the rotating window open, stretching the elastic rope and opening the folding structure. This effectively shields both sides of the rotating window, preventing rainwater from entering through them. This relatively simple structure effectively prevents rainwater from entering the window.
