[0002] With the development of society and the improvement of glass material performance, in order to meet the architects' requirements for building transparency, glass-rib full-glass curtain walls are becoming more and more widely used. Traditional standing glass-rib full-glass curtain walls are often connected to existing building structures by welding, without considering the problem of independent replacement of glass ribs in the later stage. When the glass ribs are damaged, it is usually necessary to remove the ground pavement and glass panels welded to the glass ribs at the same time, which will lead to long replacement time and high replacement costs. In addition, the traditional glass curtain wall connector is directly welded. When the connector structure is deformed by external influences, the structure cannot be adjusted to cope with the deformation due to the fixed structure, which will affect the stability of the overall structure.
