Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of curtain wall construction, and in particular relates to a multifunctional green integrated unit curtain wall construction method. Background Art
[0002] As a crucial component of modern building envelopes, unitized curtain walls are widely used in high-rise buildings due to their factory-prefabrication and rapid on-site installation. Traditional unitized curtain wall technology primarily utilizes an aluminum alloy frame and glass panels, connected to the main structure via pendants to form the building's exterior facade system. While this approach achieves the basic functions of a curtain wall, there is still significant room for improvement in overall performance design, particularly in terms of structural integrity, energy conservation and environmental protection, and adaptability.
[0003] However, traditional unitized curtain walls have exposed the problem of insufficient overall performance in actual applications: the frame structure lacks rigidity, which makes it easy to deform under wind loads; the shading system is designed to be separated from the curtain wall body, which limits the overall functionality; the sealing system and the drainage system have poor coordination, affecting the overall airtight and watertight performance; the connection node design is simple, which reduces the reliability of the overall structure; at the same time, the traditional unitized curtain wall lacks a systematic overall performance design method, resulting in the independence of each functional module and the inability to form an organic whole.
[0004] The core of these issues lies in the fact that traditional unitized curtain wall design methods lack a systematic consideration of overall performance and ineffective integration between various functional modules. Especially in high-rise buildings, curtain wall systems must simultaneously meet multiple requirements, including structural safety, energy conservation and environmental protection, aesthetics, and practicality. Traditional decentralized design methods struggle to achieve this organic integration of these performance characteristics. A systematic design and construction approach that can improve the overall performance of curtain walls is urgently needed. In other words, existing technologies suffer from the technical problem of insufficient overall performance of unitized curtain walls. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Among them, the curtain wall vulnerable area matrix refers to the collection of areas in the curtain wall system that are prone to damage due to material properties or structural design reasons, including sealant joints, contact points between glass and frame, drainage system and spring cable mechanism.

[0043] The specific implementation of the above steps is described in detail below. The specific implementation of step S01 is to first collect wind load data, seismic dynamic parameters, and curtain wall material characteristic parameters based on the building's exterior design and functional requirements, and establish a digital model of the curtain wall structure. Finite element analysis software is then used to perform a force analysis on the digital model, calculating the stress distribution of the curtain wall under various external loads and forming a curtain wall stress matrix. Based on the curtain wall stress matrix, points where stress values exceed 70% of the material design stress threshold are extracted to form a curtain wall stress concentration point matrix. Through material durability analysis and structural vulnerability assessment, vulnerable areas such as sealant joints and frame connection nodes are identified to form a vulnerable area matrix. The stress concentration point matrix and the vulnerable area matrix are superimposed and analyzed to identify overlapping areas. Within these overlapping areas, a minimum spanning tree algorithm is then used to optimize the force transfer path. The minimum spanning tree algorithm treats the curtain wall structure as a weighted graph in graph theory, where the weights between nodes represent the force transfer efficiency. The spanning tree with the smallest total weight is selected as the optimal stress transfer path. Based on the optimized structural design, the unit panel dimensions were determined to be 2650 x 4300 mm, thereby reducing the number of connection points, lowering the risk of water leakage, and improving overall installation efficiency. This step aims to optimize the curtain wall structural design through digital analysis methods, improving structural safety and construction efficiency.
[0044] The specific implementation method of step S02 is to first design the assembly of the unit panel frame according to the calculation results of the curtain wall structural mechanics equations based on the curtain wall structure topology diagram established in the early stage and the stress transfer path calculated by the minimum spanning tree algorithm. Prepare the thermal insulation aluminum alloy profiles, including column profiles, beam profiles and matching connectors, and check the surface quality of the profiles to ensure that there are no obvious defects. Use precision cutting equipment to cut the profiles according to the design dimensions, and the cutting accuracy is controlled within ±0.5 mm. Process connection holes, drainage holes and other functional openings on the profiles according to design requirements, and control the hole position accuracy within ±0.2 mm. Assemble the beams and columns into a frame structure using angle brackets. Use stainless steel self-tapping screws to fix the joints, and control the screw torque to 4.5 to 5.5 Nm. Install steel angle brackets on both sides of the center column, and connect the angle brackets to the inner side of the side columns with M6 stainless steel bolts to form fixed points. Install diagonal support angles on the unit panels at the diagonal lines of the grid. Connect the ends of the angles to the center and side columns with steel angle brackets to form a triangular support structure. Tighten the connecting bolts with a torque of 8 to 10 Nm to ensure a secure connection.
[0045] The assembly design steps for the unit panel frames, based on the calculation results of the curtain wall structural mechanics equations, are described as follows: High-quality thermally insulated aluminum alloy profiles were prefabricated in the factory, cut to a size of 2650 x 4300 mm, and then precision-machined using CNC technology to ensure precise dimensions at each connection point. Subsequently, based on the force distribution determined by static equilibrium equations, engineers assembled the profiles according to the design drawings, using jigs to ensure squareness within a ±1mm tolerance. Based on the results of the deformation coordination equations, diagonal supports were designed on both sides of the central column. The supports were precisely positioned at the diagonal of the upper grid, with a support angle of 38° ± 2° to maximize stress distribution and minimize concentrated stress points. The supports were constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy profiles with a cross-section of 60 x 40 mm and a wall thickness of 3 mm, anodized for improved weather resistance. Based on the material response characteristics calculated by the constitutive relationship equation, workers used special 304 stainless steel angle brackets (thickness 4mm) as connecting components, and fixed the diagonal supports to the inner sides of the side columns with M10 high-strength bolts (torque controlled at 25N·m) to ensure that the connection points can withstand the calculated maximum stress value. During the fixing process, a torque wrench is used to strictly control the tightening force, and anti-loosening gaskets and anti-loosening glue are set at key connection points. After completing the frame assembly, technicians use a laser measuring instrument to detect the geometric dimensions and flatness of the frame in accordance with the requirements of the boundary condition equation to ensure that the design deformation limit is met. At the same time, the overall support and reinforcement structure system is sampled and tested to confirm that it can meet the structural safety requirements under various working conditions such as design wind loads and earthquake effects, and finally form a support and reinforcement structure system with a balance of stiffness and toughness.
[0046] The specific implementation of step S02 involves first preparing the thermal insulation aluminum alloy profiles for the bridge according to the design drawings, including the column profiles, crossbeam profiles, and supporting connectors. The profiles' surface quality is then inspected to ensure there are no obvious defects. The profiles are cut to the designed dimensions using precision cutting equipment, with a cutting accuracy of ±0.5 mm. Connection holes, drainage holes, and other functional openings are machined into the profiles according to the design requirements, with hole positioning accuracy controlled within ±0.2 mm. The crossbeams and columns are assembled into a frame structure using angle brackets. The joints are secured with stainless steel self-tapping screws, with a torque of 4.5 to 5.5 Nm. Steel angle brackets are installed on both sides of the center column and connected to the inner sides of the side columns with M6 stainless steel bolts to form fixing points. Diagonal support angles are installed at the diagonal lines of the cell panels. The ends of the angles are connected to the center column and side columns via steel angle brackets to form a triangular support structure. The tightening torque of the connecting bolts is controlled at 8 to 10 Nm to ensure a secure connection. This step aims to enhance the integrity and deformation resistance of the unit panels by rationally arranging diagonal supports and utilizing the stability principle of triangular structures, thereby improving the safety performance of the curtain wall system under wind loads and earthquakes.
[0047] The specific implementation method of step S03 is to adopt an integrated design of the crossbeam and the opening window frame to reduce the number of gaps and glue joints at the joints of the profiles. The crossbeam profile adopts a broken bridge insulation hollow design, and the thermal conductivity coefficient is not more than 3.5 watts per square meter per Kelvin. When assembling the inner casement window frame, first accurately position the vertical components of the window frame and the integrated crossbeam, and fix them with stainless steel angle brackets. The angle brackets are fixed with M5 bolts with a tightening torque of 3 to 4 Newton meters. After the window frame is assembled, install the multi-point lock block and hinge. The multi-point lock block is accurately positioned at the position marked on the window frame frame, and the installation error does not exceed ±0.5 mm. Install a sealing strip on the contact surface between the window frame and the window sash. The strip is made of EPDM rubber with a hardness of 60 to 65 Shore A to ensure that the airtightness of the opening window meets the national standard. Place the tested tempered laminated double insulating glass panel on the frame, and place positioning pads around the panel and between the frame. The spacing between the pads is not more than 300 mm. After the glass panels are in place, the beading and sealing strips are installed to complete the sealing system. This step aims to reduce the number of connecting parts and sealant gaps through an integrated design, improve the airtightness and watertightness of the inward-hung casement window, reduce thermal bridging, and enhance the overall energy efficiency of the curtain wall.
[0048] The specific implementation method of step S04 is to first prepare the materials required for the curtain wall sunshade components, including aluminum alloy decorative round tubes, horizontal sunshade components, 316 stainless steel cables, spring devices and connectors to ensure that the materials meet the design specifications and quality requirements. On the workbench, install the vertical decorative round tubes on the positioning fixture according to the position of the design drawing. The aluminum alloy decorative round tubes with a diameter of 80 mm are fixedly connected to the unit frame by bolts. Install the horizontal sunshade aluminum alloy components on the vertical decorative round tubes to form a decorative sunshade frame structure. The tightening torque of all connecting bolts is controlled at 8 to 10 Nm. When installing the 316 stainless steel cable, fix the upper end of the cable to the horizontal sunshade component on the upper part of the unit panel, and install an adjustment mechanism with a spring at the lower end of the cable. The cable adjustment mechanism includes a stainless steel spring and an adjustment bolt, and the spring stiffness coefficient is 35 to 45 N per mm. The cable tension is calculated based on the cable mechanical transfer equation. This calculation takes into account a cable linear density of 0.15 to 0.20 kg per meter, an initial cable length of 3800 to 4000 mm, and an ambient temperature coefficient of 0.000016 to 0.000018 degrees Celsius. The spring compression is determined to be 15 to 20 mm, keeping the final tension within 180 to 220 Newtons. Once all cables are installed, the entire sunshade system is assembled and secured to the inner glass unit using stainless steel bolts. Three-dimensional directional errors are adjusted to ensure vertical deviations do not exceed 3 mm per floor height. This step aims to achieve automatic tension adjustment for the cable system by integrating sunshade and decorative functions with a spring adjustment mechanism, thereby improving the system's stability and durability.
[0049] The specific implementation of step S05 involves designing a sliding sunshade grille system based on fire rescue requirements, ensuring both effective sunshade performance and fire rescue functionality. Prepare the sliding sunshade grille components, including an aluminum alloy upper slide, an aluminum alloy lower slide, an aluminum alloy upper rail, an aluminum alloy lower rail, and an 80 mm diameter aluminum profile sunshade decorative circular tube. On a workbench, secure the aluminum profile sunshade decorative circular tube to the aluminum alloy upper and lower slides using internal inserts. The inserts are secured with M6 stainless steel bolts, with a tightening torque of 5-6 Nm. Attach the aluminum alloy upper and lower rails to the horizontal decorative members of the unit panels with fire rescue windows, ensuring that the horizontal deviation of the rails does not exceed 2 mm per meter. Install stainless steel stoppers, which utilize a latch design that extends through the aluminum alloy lower rail and the horizontal decorative member to provide a fixed position. The latch has a diameter of 10 mm and an insertion depth of at least 15 mm. To prevent accidental movement of the sliding grille during transportation, temporarily secure the latches with high-strength tape. After the sliding grille system is installed, a sliding test is performed to ensure that the sliding resistance is no greater than 40 Newtons. In an emergency, the grille can slide smoothly after the limit pin is pulled out, opening the fire rescue passage. This step aims to ensure the uniformity of the building's appearance while meeting fire safety requirements through the innovative sliding mechanism design, resolving the conflict between traditional fixed sunshade grilles and fire rescue needs.
[0050] The specific implementation method of step S06 is to use a total station or a laser rangefinder to perform precise measurements on the main structure of the building, lay out the lines to determine the reference line and elevation line for the curtain wall installation, and control the measurement accuracy within ±2 mm. Check the verticality and flatness of the main structure to ensure that it meets the curtain wall installation requirements. The verticality deviation of the floor does not exceed 5 mm, and the flatness deviation does not exceed 10 mm per 3 meters. Determine the installation position of the base adapter based on the measurement results, clean and inspect the embedded parts, and ensure that the embedded parts are firm and reliable. Put the base adapter in place, temporarily fix it by spot welding, and adjust the position to ensure that the horizontality and verticality meet the design requirements. Use a total station to detect the three-dimensional coordinate error of the base adapter to ensure that the position deviation of the adapter does not exceed ±5 mm. After confirming that the position is correct, use full welding to permanently connect the adapter to the embedded parts. The weld thickness is not less than 6 mm. A symmetrical welding method is used during the welding process to avoid thermal deformation. The unitized base, with a T-shaped seam in the middle of the L-shaped steel piece, is secured to the base adapter with M12 stainless steel bolts, tightening the bolts to a torque of 40 to 45 Nm. After the unitized base is installed, its horizontality and verticality are rechecked to ensure that it meets design requirements. This step ensures an accurate curtain wall installation benchmark through precise measurement and layout. Furthermore, through a rational connection design, a reliable connection between the curtain wall and the main structure is achieved, laying the foundation for subsequent unitized panel installation.
[0051] The specific implementation of step S07 involves transporting the unit panels from the storage area to the installation location floor according to the installation sequence. Protective measures are taken during transportation to prevent panel damage. When transporting the panels using a flatbed truck, a flexible protective pad is placed between the panels and the truck to prevent scratches on the panels. On the installation floor, a portal crane is used to transfer the unit panels from the truck to the launch truck. The lifting points are set at pre-set lifting holes on the panel frame, and the angle between the lifting rope and the horizontal plane is no less than 60 degrees to avoid lateral tension on the panels. The launch truck transports the panels to the lifting location, where they are lifted vertically by a rail-mounted crane. The rail-mounted crane utilizes a dual-wire design, each with a load capacity of no less than 1,000 kg, and a controlled lifting speed of 8 to 10 meters per minute. During the panel lifting process, two safety ropes are bolted to the bottom of the panel and tightened by on-site construction personnel to prevent the panel from rotating. The panel is lifted approximately 500 mm above the installation location, decelerated to 2 to 3 meters per minute, and precisely positioned by construction personnel. The panel rotation operation is completed by the rail crane operator in coordination with on-site construction personnel. The rotation process is slow and smooth to avoid impact loads. This step is designed to ensure the safe lifting and placement of the super-large curtain wall unit panels through scientific and reasonable lifting technology, reduce safety risks during the lifting process, and improve construction efficiency.
[0052] The specific implementation of step S08 is that after the unit panels arrive at the installation location, the construction personnel first insert the unit panels horizontally, aligning the connecting notches between the panels with the installed panels, with an insertion depth of no less than 25 mm. After the horizontal insertion is completed, the track crane slowly descends at a speed of 1 to 2 meters per minute to achieve vertical insertion between the upper and lower panels, with an insertion depth of no less than 30 mm. During the insertion process, the construction personnel closely observe the position of the sealing strips to ensure that the strips are in the designed position and are not twisted, deformed, or dislodged. Manual adjustments are made to the sealing strips in important areas to ensure they are in place and prevent leakage caused by strip deformation. During the vertical insertion of the upper and lower panels, the horizontality and verticality of the panels are ensured to meet the design requirements, with a horizontal deviation of no more than 3 mm per 3 meters and a vertical deviation of no more than 3 mm per floor height. After the panels are in place, the sealing of the connecting strips is checked to ensure there are no obvious gaps or deformation. After confirming that the panels are correctly positioned and the sealing strips are in good condition, the lifting equipment is removed, completing the installation of the unit panels. This step aims to ensure the normal operation of the sealing strips at the joints by carefully controlling the panel insertion process, reduce the risk of water leakage caused by construction quality problems, and improve the overall sealing performance of the curtain wall system.
[0053] The specific implementation method of step S09 is to use a total station or a laser rangefinder to measure and check the installation accuracy of the panels after the unit panels are plugged in. The measurement points include the four corners and the middle position of the panels to ensure that the measurement points cover the key positions of the panels. The measurement content includes the horizontality, verticality, flatness and the width of the gap between adjacent panels. The collected data is input into the construction quality management system for analysis. For panels that exceed the allowable deviation, fine-tuning is performed by adjusting the adjustment bolts on the unit base. The adjustment range includes ±20 mm for the in and out position, ±10 mm for the left and right position, and ±15 mm for the high and low position. After the adjustment is completed, measure again to ensure that the installation accuracy after adjustment meets the design requirements and specifications. Aluminum alloy water trough material is installed at the top crossbeam position of each layer of panel unit. The water trough adopts a T-shaped structure design, with a thickness of not less than 2 mm and a length the same as the width of the panel. The overlap length between adjacent water troughs is not less than 200 mm, and the overlap is sealed with a weather-resistant sealant with a thickness of 8 to 10 mm. A waterproof film, made of EPDM rubber, is installed on the outside of the drainage cavity. It should be 1.2-1.5 mm thick and 150-200 mm wide. A high-performance weather-resistant sealant, at least 5 mm thick, is used to seal the film around the edges, ensuring a reliable waterproof barrier between the film and the drainage cavity. This step aims to ensure the installation accuracy and waterproof performance of the curtain wall system through precise adjustment and effective waterproofing measures, reducing the risk of subsequent leaks and improving project quality.

[0065] The curtain wall vulnerable area matrix can be expressed as:
[0066] V={v ij} m×n ;
[0067] Where V is the vulnerable area matrix; v ij is a binary variable. When the position (i, j) is in a vulnerable area such as a sealant seam or a frame connection node, v ij =1, otherwise v ij =0.

[0074]
[0075] Where, L uv is the length of the component, in mm; σ uv is the average stress of the component, in MPa; A uv is the cross-sectional area of the component, in mm 2 The smaller the weight w(u, v) value is, the higher the force transmission efficiency is.

[0079] Item 4 This term represents the drooping effect of the cable under its own weight. It is derived from catenary theory. When the cable is in tension, its own weight causes it to form a near-parabolic shape, thus affecting the actual tension. This term accounts for the reduction in tension caused by the cable's own weight.

The introduction of curtain wall stress matrix, stress concentration point matrix and vulnerable area matrix makes the curtain wall structure design more accurate and scientific. The minimum spanning tree algorithm optimizes the force transmission path, reduces the number of connecting components, and improves structural efficiency. The cable mechanical transmission equation takes into account the cable's own weight, temperature changes and spring characteristics, and realizes the precise control of the tension of the cable system. The static equilibrium equation, deformation coordination equation, constitutive relationship equation and boundary condition equation constitute a complete curtain wall structural mechanics analysis system, providing a theoretical basis for curtain wall design. The power relationship and reciprocal relationship in these equations reflect the laws of physics. For example, the quadratic power term in the cable's own weight influence term reflects the nonlinear characteristics in the catenary theory, and the fractional form in the elastic matrix reflects the constitutive characteristics of the material.
[0145] Specifically, the core technical principle of this invention lies in comprehensively improving the overall performance of unitized curtain walls through a systematic design approach and an integrated structural system. First, the invention uses a minimum spanning tree algorithm to calculate stress transfer paths. This algorithm can find the spanning tree with the smallest total weight in a complex network. When applied to curtain wall structural design, it can establish an optimal structural force transfer network, making the entire curtain wall system an organic whole rather than a simple combination of components.
[0146] Secondly, this invention innovatively incorporates three matrix analysis methods: a curtain wall stress matrix to assess the overall stress state; a stress concentration matrix to identify critical nodes; and a vulnerable area matrix to pinpoint weak links. Through cross-analysis of these three matrices, key factors influencing the curtain wall's overall performance are precisely identified, providing a scientific basis for system optimization. This matrix-based approach enables systematic design from the local to the global level, ensuring synergistic performance improvements across all components.
[0147] In terms of structural design, this invention utilizes thermally insulated profiles to improve thermal insulation performance, a diagonal support reinforcement system enhances overall rigidity, and the integrated design of the crossbeam and window frame reduces joints and improves air and water tightness. These measures work together to form an integrated system with excellent structural performance. Furthermore, the cable-type force transmission system, through a spring mechanism, enables active adaptation to environmental changes. The cable-type force transmission equation ensures the system's stability and reliability under various conditions.
[0148] Furthermore, this invention constructs a complete theoretical system of curtain wall mechanics using equations for static equilibrium, deformation coordination, constitutive relations, and boundary conditions, transforming curtain wall design from empirical to scientific and systematic. The comprehensive application of these mechanical principles ensures coordination among the various components of the curtain wall, transforming it from a collection of discrete components into a functional system with integrated performance.
[0149] This method, in line with the principles of systems engineering, significantly improves the overall performance of unitized curtain walls by combining overall design with local optimization. These innovative measures work together to form an integrated, structurally safe, functionally integrated, and environmentally friendly system, resolving the core technical issue of the traditional unitized curtain wall's overall performance limitations.

The judgment condition for the system to be stable is |F new -F old |<δ, where F new is the cable tension force after iterative calculation; F old is the cable tension from the previous iteration; δ is the convergence threshold, set at 1 N. The spring compression is determined to be 15 to 20 mm, keeping the final tension between 180 and 220 N. After all cables are installed, the entire sunshade system is assembled and secured to the inner glass unit using stainless steel bolts. Three-dimensional directional errors are adjusted to ensure that the verticality deviation does not exceed 3 mm per floor height. This step aims to achieve automatic tension adjustment of the cable system by integrating sunshade and decorative functions with a spring adjustment mechanism, thereby improving the system's stability and durability.

[0168]
[0169] A specific embodiment 2 of the present invention is provided below. The specific implementation of each step in this embodiment 2 is described in detail as follows.
[0170] The first step is to assemble the unit panel frame:
[0171] like Figure 2 As shown, in the unit panel frame 10, diagonal braces 12 are designed on both sides of the center column 11. These diagonal braces 12 are located at the upper grid diagonal of the unit panel. Steel angle brackets are bolted to both sides of the center column 11 and the inside of the side columns 13. The diagonal brace angles are connected through steel angle brackets to form a support and reinforcement system.
[0172] Center column top and bottom connection: The top and bottom ends of the center column are connected to the aluminum alloy sleeve core through screws, and the upper and lower center column inserts are each fixed to the crossbeam through 4 M6x50mm stainless steel bolts.
[0173] During assembly, apply 1mm thick sealant to the ends of the horizontal frames (where they contact the sides of the vertical frames). Assemble the frames according to the assembly drawing. First, inject an appropriate amount of sealant into the nail holes, then tighten them. Finally, seal the nail caps with glue to ensure that the screws are prevented from loosening and the nail holes are watertight.
[0174] The unit panels are hung with two connecting supports, and there is no need to set a central support. The aluminum hangers are assembled correctly in the left and right sides according to the diagram. When assembling, sealant must be applied to the contact surface with the column, and glue must also be applied when installing the screws to ensure the waterproof performance of the panel.
[0175] When assembling the frame, pay attention to the flatness of the joints of the horizontal and vertical frames (mainly the inner surface), and no step difference is allowed; the tolerance of the plate's external dimensions is ±1mm, and the diagonal dimension tolerance is controlled within ±3mm.
[0176] It should be noted that the surface of the profile where glue is applied must be cleaned with a grease-soluble, decontamination-resistant, and highly volatile cleaning agent (such as acetone, industrial alcohol, etc.) before gluing.
[0177] Step 2: Assemble the inner casement window and panel:
[0178] Inward casement window assembly: The crossbeam and opening window frame are integrated into one design, which reduces the processing and splicing of the horizontal window frame and the injection of sealant. The quality of the integrated crossbeam opening frame and vertical window frame assembly is guaranteed.
[0179] Select the components according to the control panel's detailed window frame assembly number and assemble according to the assembly drawing. Place everything flat within the frame. First, secure the two side frames with screws, then connect them to the horizontal frame. Pay attention to the nail caps and apply glue to the nail heads to ensure a watertight seal around the nail holes. Ensure a clean and aesthetically pleasing finish.
[0180] After the frame assembly is fixed, the glue groove formed by the frame perimeter and the horizontal and vertical frames is sealed with glue to ensure that the inner view is beautiful and clean. After the glue grooves in the vertical frame grooves on both sides of the front are placed with foam rods and sealed with glue, the openings at both ends are plugged with foam rods and then sealed with glue. Compare the center position of the lock block on the frame in the multi-point lock assembly diagram, and place the lock block against the positioning boss. Install the adjustment pins on both sides first; install the middle set screw after the glass opening window assembly is adjusted to the correct position.
[0181] Step 3: Panel assembly:
[0182] In order to prevent the subsequent gluing process from contaminating the profile, masking tape should be applied to the easily contaminated areas before the glass panels are installed, and double-sided tape should be applied according to the location and thickness of the glue seams.
[0183] First of all, before installing the glass panel, the glass plate must be carefully inspected in front of a large light box to see if there are defects such as cracks, bubbles, spots, etc.
[0184] Select glass according to the number of the detailed glass panels for the control group and assemble according to the assembly drawing. Place the entire panel flat within the frame, aligning the notches in the subframe with the latches. Push the panel downwards into place. Install the retaining angle pieces and seal the nail caps with glue.
[0185] Step 4: Assemble the sunshade components:
[0186] A 316 stainless steel cable is installed between the lower and upper sections of the unit's horizontal sunshade aluminum alloy decorative moldings. A stainless steel spring is mounted on the lower bolt of the cable, and a fixing bolt is installed at the upper end. To assemble the decorative cable, first assemble the unit's vertical decorative circular tubes. These tubes and the horizontal sunshade aluminum alloy components form a frame. Next, install the cable. The upper bolt of the cable secures it to the upper horizontal decorative component of the unit. Tighten the lower bolt of the cable to compress the spring and maintain a reasonable tension. Then, assemble the remaining cables according to the above steps.
[0187] After the sunshade components are assembled, they are assembled with the inner glass unit. Stainless steel bolts are used to assemble and fix the sunshade components and the glass panels. After they are in place, the three-dimensional direction errors are adjusted. After verification, they are finally tightened and fixed to complete the final assembly of the panels.
[0188] Step 5: Assemble the sliding sunshade grille:
[0189] like Figure 3 As shown, the sliding sunshade grille consists of an aluminum alloy upper slide 15, an aluminum alloy lower slide 16, an aluminum alloy upper rail 17, and an aluminum alloy lower rail 18. An 80mm diameter aluminum profile sunshade decorative circular tube 19 is secured to the upper and lower slides via inserts. The upper and lower rails are attached to the horizontal decorative members of the unit panels with fire rescue windows. The entire sliding sash is held in place by stainless steel stoppers, which are latches that extend through the lower rails and horizontal decorative members. To prevent the sliding grille from slipping or the latches from falling during transportation, the latches are secured with adhesive tape after the sliding grille is secured in place.
[0190] Step 6: Measure and lay out:
[0191] Before construction, make full preparations for the project's technical data, tools, equipment, materials, personnel, machinery, and temporary facilities. Re-inspect all raw materials used.
[0192] When conducting technical briefings for construction personnel, a sample should be made first, and the personnel should be organized to enter the site after approval by the company's quality control department and technical department.
[0193] Review the construction quality of the main structure against the curtain wall system design. This is because the quality of the main structure significantly impacts the positioning of the frame. In particular, structural flatness deviations will affect the flatness of the entire curtain wall. Therefore, before laying out the lines, check the construction quality of the main structure. Finally, adjust the connection between the main structure and the curtain wall based on the main structure's progress to ensure a smooth installation.
[0194] Step 7: Unit base installation:
[0195] The embedded parts are designed to be embedded on the side. The installation of the unit base adapter and the base will be carried out by setting up a track-type hanging basket on the track.
[0196] The base adapter is fixed to the embedded parts of the main structure by welding. During installation, the adapter is initially positioned and adjusted, and temporarily fixed by spot welding. After measuring and verifying the three-dimensional error, the final full welding is performed. Symmetrical welding is used for full welding to avoid distortion caused by local overheating.
[0197] The unitized base adopts an L-shaped steel part with a T-shaped notch in the middle. The base notch is matched with the unitized hanger to meet the needs of plate fixation and error adjustment. The base is fixed to the adapter through stainless steel bolts and matched with the hanger notch to meet the needs of plate angle adjustment. The connector fully considers the inter-layer displacement of the plate to meet the up and down displacement of the plate, and the left and right displacement of the plate is controlled by limiting bolts.
[0198] When installing the base, you need to first find the base installation position, and then use the oblong hole of the base to adjust the in and out position and the left and right position deviation through measurement and verification. Only after confirming that it is accurate can you finally tighten and fix it.
[0199] Step 8: Plate hoisting:
[0200] Preparation before lifting:
[0201] Before hoisting, the unit panels should be transported to the edge of the installation location floor with a flatbed truck, and placed in a balanced manner according to the hoisting sequence. The unit panels or profiles should not be deformed, and flexible materials should be placed between the trolley and the panels to protect the panels.
[0202] The electronic control equipment of the rail crane must ensure that it can stop suddenly and automatically cut off the power in the event of an accident to ensure safe lifting.
[0203] The lifting points and hanging points should meet the design requirements. There should be no less than 2 lifting points. The lifting equipment must be checked regularly and replaced in time if it is found to be worn.
[0204] The hook must be installed firmly and in place, and the lifting signal can only be issued after inspection.
[0205] When installing the unit panels, a portal crane is used in the panel storage area to transfer the unit panels from the panel storage rack to the launch flatbed truck, and then the launch flatbed truck is pushed to the lifting position.
[0206] Formal hoisting:
[0207] The outdoor surface of the unit panel faces upward, and the indoor surface faces downward. A dedicated winch (cantilever) lowers the lifting rope, and the hoisting personnel secure the rope to the unit panel. The command personnel instruct the dedicated winch operator to slowly lift and hoist, strictly controlling the lifting speed to prevent the unit panel from colliding with the structure and causing surface damage.
[0208] The construction workers on the panel lifting floor tighten the traction rope pre-tethered to the bottom of the panel (which serves as a safety rope to prevent the panel from shaking during transportation). After lifting it to the installation location, the construction workers on the installation floor must rotate the panel 180 degrees, so that the decorative surface of the panel faces outward, and then install it in place. Each panel is marked with a production certificate and the panel number and specifications. Construction workers install it according to the panel number diagram. The overall panel lifting process follows this process.
[0209] After the unit panels are hoisted out of the floor, they will be transported to the upper part of the installation position via the track and the track crane, and then slowly lowered to the installation position. When the panels are lowered to about 300mm from the lower panels, the track crane will cooperate with the construction personnel to plug the panels in and out. After the left and right plugging of the panels is completed, they will slowly descend to plug in the upper and lower panels. During the plugging process, it is necessary to pay attention to the normal position of the rubber strips to avoid the distortion of the rubber strips and the hidden danger of water leakage. The track crane will slowly lift the panels, and fasten the two sides of the bottom of the panels with two safety ropes. During the lifting process, two people will tighten them to prevent the panels from rotating. There should be 2 to 3 people on the floor where the panels are located to protect them to prevent damage. There must be 2 to 3 people above the panels to greet them. All operators must wear safety belts and other safety protection equipment.
[0210] After the panels are plugged in, the installation accuracy of the panels will be measured and checked. If the elevation and installation accuracy do not meet the requirements, the panels will be adjusted by adjusting the bolts to make final error adjustments to meet the design and specification requirements.
[0211] After the panels are adjusted and fixed, aluminum alloy water trough materials are installed at the top crossbeam position of each panel unit, and waterproof films with a length of about 200mm are installed on the outside of the drainage cavity. At the same time, weather-resistant glue is injected around the films to seal them.
[0212] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with this technical field can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
