Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass curtain wall support technology, and in particular to a column-free truss and clamp-based load-bearing device for external corners of glass curtain walls. Background Technology

[0002] As a mainstream form of modern building envelope, the structural design of glass curtain walls at their external corners (the corners where the walls meet) directly affects the overall appearance and structural safety of the building. Traditional corner treatment solutions typically use concrete or steel columns as supports, fixing the glass to both sides of the columns via connectors. However, with the increasing pursuit of "column-free transparency" in architectural aesthetics (such as in super high-rise office buildings and large-span buildings like convention centers), existing technologies have revealed the following core defects:

[0003] Traditional column widths are typically ≥200mm, disrupting the continuity of the glass curtain wall at external corners and creating visual obstructions (such as segmented corner views), failing to achieve a "fully transparent glass" effect. Furthermore, these columns occupy interior space, especially in commercial buildings, reducing the usable floor area ratio by approximately 3%-5% and increasing construction costs. Traditional fixing methods generally use a single glass curtain wall fastener to secure the connection between four glass panels. This fastener, usually secured with simple threads, is susceptible to loosening under external forces, affecting the clamping effect. When a single glass panel is damaged, multiple surrounding glass panels and connectors need to be disassembled, resulting in a long replacement cycle and high maintenance costs. Existing irreversible fixing methods (such as welding and strong adhesive bonding) are stable but cannot be disassembled; detachable connections (such as bolt connections) pose a risk of loosening, especially in complex stress areas like external corners, making it difficult to balance "installation stability" and "maintenance convenience."

[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to study a new column-free truss and clamp-based load-bearing device for the external corner of glass curtain walls to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

[0006] In view of the problems mentioned above and / or existing glass curtain wall supports, the present invention is proposed.

[0007] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this invention is that traditional column widths are usually ≥200mm, which disrupts the continuity of the glass curtain wall at the external corner and creates visual obstruction (such as the corner view being divided), making it impossible to achieve the "full glass transparency" effect; moreover, the traditional fixing method generally uses a glass curtain wall fastener to fix the connection of four glass panels, which is easily loosened by external forces after fixing, affecting the clamping effect; when a single glass panel is damaged, it is necessary to disassemble multiple surrounding glass panels and connecting parts, resulting in a long overall replacement cycle, high maintenance costs, and difficulty in balancing the issues of "stable installation" and "convenient maintenance".

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a collaborative bearing device for column-free trusses and clamps at the external corner of a glass curtain wall, comprising a bearing connection mechanism and disassembly / assembly tools, wherein the bearing connection mechanism comprises multiple connecting components, the ends of adjacent connecting components are connected into a whole by a bracing component, and a glass curtain wall positioning mechanism is provided on the bracing component;

The installation member is fixed to the supporting base by bolts and locked to the second cable.

[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention: the side clamp assembly includes a mounting plate, the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the support base, and four ball joint fasteners and four sets of alignment plates are fixedly installed on the mounting plate, each set of alignment plates consists of two plates, and the two alignment plates are fitted to the diagonals of the glass curtain wall.

[0013] As a further aspect of the present invention: the mounting assembly includes a ball joint mounting component, the ball joint mounting component and the ball joint fixing component are used to position the glass curtain wall, a beveled block is fixedly connected to one side of the ball joint mounting component, a threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the ball joint mounting component, a stud is internally threaded to the threaded sleeve, the stud is rotatably mounted on the flip cover by a bearing, a groove is provided on the stud, and through holes are provided on both sides of the stud, the through holes communicating with the groove.

[0014] As a further aspect of the present invention: the locking assembly includes a lock head and a housing, the lock head is disposed in a groove, a first spring is fixedly connected between the lock head and the side wall of the groove, and locking teeth are fixedly connected to both sides of the lock head.

[0015] As a further aspect of the present invention: the outer shell is fixedly connected to the flip cover, and a plurality of locking teeth are fixedly connected in the outer shell, and the locking teeth and the locking teeth are locked together.

[0016] As a further aspect of the present invention: the positioning component includes a hole sleeve, the hole sleeve is fixedly connected to the flip cover, a positioning rod is slidably connected in the hole sleeve, the positioning rod has an inclined groove, the inclined block corresponds to the inclined groove, and a second spring is fixedly connected between one end of the positioning rod and the hole sleeve.

[0017] As a further aspect of the present invention: the quick-lock assembly includes a threaded cylinder filled with a chemical agent, the threaded cylinder is mounted on a cross seat, a screw is threadedly connected to the threaded cylinder, one end of the screw extending into the threaded cylinder is tapered, a central rod passes through the screw, the screw is rotatably mounted on the cross plate via a bearing, one end of the screw is fixedly connected to the cross seat, and multiple ratchet teeth are fixedly connected to the screw, the ratchet teeth mesh with a ratchet wheel, and the ratchet wheel is fixedly connected in the cross seat.

[0018] As a further aspect of the present invention: the disassembly and assembly tool includes an adjustment seat, the adjustment seat has an opening in the middle, and a disassembly and assembly head and a hollow head are fixedly connected to the adjustment seat, with the hollow head corresponding to the opening;

[0019] Two sliding sleeves are fixedly installed on the adjusting seat, and the same operating lever is slidably connected to the two sliding sleeves.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0021] 1. This column-free truss and clamp-supported device for external corners of glass curtain walls uses a disassembly and assembly tool to operate the screw, which is threadedly assembled with the threaded cylinder. This allows for quick locking of adjacent glass curtain wall corners, reducing operational difficulty. The screw penetrates deep into the threaded cylinder, piercing chemical agents and locking teeth to firmly bond the screw and cylinder, forming a stable connection structure that provides a solid guarantee for the stability of the glass curtain wall. Furthermore, the ratchet and ratchet mechanism ensures unidirectional rotation of the screw, effectively preventing loosening due to external forces during use. This fundamentally avoids the problem of loose screws affecting the overall stability of the glass curtain wall, achieving an irreversible fixing effect and further making the glass curtain wall structure safer and more reliable. After the screw and threaded cylinder are installed in place, the central rod protrudes from the opening, allowing for quick confirmation that the glass curtain wall is installed correctly, making installation more convenient and efficient.

[0022] 2. This device, used for the column-free truss and clamp-based load-bearing system at the external corner of glass curtain walls, connects to the studs using a disassembly tool. The hollow head presses against the locking head, causing the locking head to separate the locking teeth. The disassembly tool then rotates the stud, moving the threaded sleeve and the ball joint mounting component to disassemble the glass curtain wall. The ball joint also causes the inclined block to press against the inclined groove, dislodging the positioning rod from the positioning groove. The flip cover can then be opened, allowing for the individual removal of a single glass curtain wall panel. This method eliminates the need to disassemble the connecting parts of multiple surrounding glass curtain walls as in traditional methods. It avoids the problem of excessively long replacement cycles caused by disassembling large areas of connecting parts and significantly reduces maintenance costs, making glass curtain wall maintenance more efficient and economical.

[0023] 3. This column-free truss and clamp co-support device for glass curtain wall corners connects the connecting components and the supporting components together, and the supporting components are connected to the glass curtain wall positioning mechanism. This allows the glass, connecting components, and glass curtain wall positioning mechanism to work together, so that the glass curtain wall can maintain excellent structural stability and overall aesthetics without the need for additional columns at the corners. Moreover, this connection method not only ensures installation stability but also fully considers the convenience of later maintenance. During installation, the components are tightly connected and accurately positioned, ensuring that the glass curtain wall can be installed quickly and stably. When maintenance is required, the components can be easily disassembled and replaced, greatly reducing maintenance costs and time costs, and truly achieving dual optimization of installation and maintenance.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] like Figures 1-7 and Figures 11-12 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a collaborative bearing device for a column-free truss and clamp at the external corner of a glass curtain wall, comprising a bearing connection mechanism 100 and a disassembly / assembly tool 300. The bearing connection mechanism 100 includes multiple connecting components 101, each connecting component 101 including a truss 1011 and two fittings 1012. The fittings 1012 are fixed to the truss 1011 by bolts and clamp and lock the first cable 1013. The fittings 1012 are fixed to the truss 1011 by bolts, so that the fittings 1012 can be locked to the first cable 1013 to maintain stability. The ends of adjacent connecting components 101 are connected to form a support component 102. The supporting component 102 includes a mounting component 1022, on which two sets of connecting blocks 1021 are fixedly connected. Each set of connecting blocks 1021 consists of two blocks, and the two connecting blocks 1021 are hinged to the truss 1011 by pins. The mounting component 1022 is fixed to the supporting base 1024 by bolts and locked to the second cable 1023. The mounting component 1022 is fixed to the supporting base 1024 by bolts and can be connected to the second cable 1023, thereby connecting the connecting component 101 and the supporting component 102 together, which facilitates the stable connection of the whole. The supporting component 102 is provided with a glass curtain wall positioning mechanism 200.

[0046] The glass curtain wall positioning mechanism 200 includes a side clamping assembly 201, which includes a mounting plate 2011. The mounting plate 2011 is fixedly connected to the support base 1024. Four ball hinge fasteners 2013 and four sets of alignment plates 2012 are fixedly installed on the mounting plate 2011. Each set of alignment plates 2012 consists of two plates. The alignment plates 2012 can limit the diagonal movement of the glass curtain wall, facilitating the alignment of the glass curtain wall during installation. The two alignment plates 2012 fit against the diagonal of the glass curtain wall. The side clamping assembly 201 is connected to the support assembly 102. The side clamping assembly 201 is fixed to the diagonal of the four glass curtain walls through the four mounting assemblies 202. The flip covers 204 of the four mounting assemblies 202 are hinged to the same cross plate 207. Mounting plate 2011, cross seat 209, and cross plate 207 are shaped according to the corner position of the glass curtain wall to facilitate the installation of the glass curtain wall. Mounting assembly 202 is equipped with locking assembly 203, which is connected to flip cover 204. Two positioning assemblies 205 are located on one side of flip cover 204. The positioning rods 2054 of the positioning assemblies 205 engage in positioning grooves 206. Multiple positioning grooves 206 are formed on the cross seat 209, which is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 2011 of the side clamp assembly 201. The cross seat 209 is also fixed to the cross plate 207 via quick-lock assembly 208, which includes a threaded cylinder 2083 filled with a chemical agent. The threaded cylinder 2083 is installed on the cross seat 209. A screw 2081 is threadedly connected to the threaded cylinder 2083. One end of the screw 2081 has a hexagonal structure, which is adapted to fit the disassembly head 304, allowing the disassembly head 304 to smoothly drive the screw 2081 to rotate. The screw 2081 and the threaded cylinder 2083 are threadedly driven, causing the cross seat 209 to drive the ball hinge fastener 2013 to achieve the purpose of positioning the glass curtain wall. The end of the screw 2081 extending into the threaded cylinder 2083 is tapered. This tapered design allows the screw 2081 to penetrate deeply into the threaded cylinder 2083, piercing chemical agents. This allows the screw 2081 and the threaded cylinder 2083 to be bonded together, increasing the bonding strength between the screw 2081 and the threaded cylinder 2083. To ensure the stability of the threaded connection 2083, a central rod 2082 is inserted through the screw 2081. The central rod 2082 can move on the screw 2081, allowing it to directly indicate the installation position after passing through the opening. The screw 2081 is rotatably mounted on the cross plate 207 via a bearing. One end of the screw 2081 is fixedly connected to the cross seat 209. Multiple ratchet teeth 2084 are fixedly connected to the screw 2081. The ratchet teeth 2084 mesh with the ratchet wheel 2085. Through the unidirectional rotation of the ratchet teeth 2084 and the ratchet wheel 2085, the screw 2081 is kept rotating in one direction, preventing the screw 2081 from reversing and becoming loose. This maintains the stability of the connection between the glass curtain walls. The ratchet wheel 2085 is fixedly connected in the cross seat 209.

[0047] In this embodiment, the screw 2081 is operated by the disassembly and assembly tool 300, causing the screw 2081 to be threaded together with the threaded cylinder 2083. This allows for quick locking of adjacent glass curtain walls diagonally, reducing operational difficulty. Furthermore, the screw 2081, deeply embedded in the threaded cylinder 2083, can pierce chemical agents, firmly bonding the screw 2081 and the threaded cylinder 2083 to form a stable connection structure. This provides a solid guarantee for the stability of the glass curtain wall. Additionally, the ratchet 2084 and ratchet 2085 work together to further enhance stability. Maintaining the unidirectional rotation of screw 2081 effectively prevents it from loosening due to external forces during use. This fundamentally avoids the problem of loose screw 2081 affecting the overall stability of the glass curtain wall, achieving an irreversible fixing effect and further making the glass curtain wall structure safer and more reliable. Moreover, after screw 2081 and threaded cylinder 2083 are installed in place, the central rod 2082 protrudes from the opening, allowing for quick confirmation that the glass curtain wall is installed correctly, making the installation of the glass curtain wall more convenient and faster.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] Combination Figures 7-10 and Figures 13-14 It is concluded that: the mounting assembly 202 includes a ball joint mounting component 2021, which and a ball joint fixing component 2013 for positioning the glass curtain wall. A beveled block 2024 is fixedly connected to one side of the ball joint mounting component 2021, and a threaded sleeve 2022 is fixedly connected to the ball joint mounting component 2021. A stud 2023 is internally threaded onto the threaded sleeve 2022, and one end of the stud 2023 has a hexagonal structure, allowing the disassembly head 304 to smoothly engage with the stud 2023. 3. The stud 2023 is fitted together, which allows for smooth control of the rotation of the stud 2023. The stud 2023 is rotatably mounted on the flip cover 204 via a bearing. The stud 2023 has a groove 2026 and through holes 2025 on both sides. The design of the through holes 2025 allows the locking teeth 2033 to pass through the through holes 2025 and lock with the locking teeth 2035, and also allows the locking teeth 2033 to move. The through holes 2025 and the groove 2026 are connected.

[0050] The disassembly and assembly tool 300 includes an adjustment seat 301 with an opening in the middle. A disassembly and assembly head 304 and a hollow head 305 are fixedly connected to the adjustment seat 301. The hollow head 305 corresponds to the opening. The design of the hollow head 305 and the opening allows the central rod 2082 to pass through smoothly, facilitating direct feedback on the installation of the screw 2081 and the threaded cylinder 2083. Two sliding sleeves 302 are fixedly installed on the adjustment seat 301. The operating rod 303 can slide in the sliding sleeves 302, thereby adjusting the position of the operating rod 303. This allows the force application point to be changed as needed, facilitating actual operation. The same operating rod 303 is slidably connected to the two sliding sleeves 302.

[0051] The locking assembly 203 includes a lock head 2031 and a housing 2034. The lock head 2031 is disposed in a groove 2026. A first spring 2032 is fixedly connected between the lock head 2031 and the side wall of the groove 2026. The first spring 2032 drives the lock head 2031 to reset, so that the locking teeth 2033 and the locking teeth 2035 are locked together, thereby locking the direction of the stud 2023 and preventing the stud 2023 from loosening, thus achieving the purpose of self-locking. The locking teeth 2033 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lock head 2031. The housing 2034 is fixedly connected to the flip cover 204. Multiple locking teeth 2035 are fixedly connected in the housing 2034, and the locking teeth 2035 are locked together with the locking teeth 2033.

[0052] The positioning component 205 includes a sleeve 2051, which is fixedly connected to the flip cover 204. A positioning rod 2054 is slidably connected in the sleeve 2051. The positioning rod 2054 has a groove 2053. An inclined block 2024 corresponds to the groove 2053. By squeezing between the inclined block 2024 and the groove 2053, the positioning rod 2054 can automatically disengage from the positioning groove 206, thus facilitating the opening of the flip cover 204. A second spring 2052 is fixedly connected between one end of the positioning rod 2054 and the sleeve 2051. The second spring 2052 drives the positioning rod 2054 to reset, so that the positioning rod 2054 is inserted into the positioning groove 206, thereby automatically locking the position of the flip cover 204 and preventing the opening of the flip cover 204 from affecting the positioning of the glass curtain wall.

[0053] In this embodiment: the disassembly tool 300 connects with the stud 2023, causing the hollow head 305 to press against the locking head 2031. The locking head 2031 causes the locking teeth 2033 and 2035 to separate. At this time, the disassembly head 304 operates the stud 2023 to rotate, causing the stud 2023 to move the threaded sleeve 2022. The ball joint mounting component 2021 moves to remove the glass curtain wall fixing, and the ball joint mounting component 2021 causes the inclined block 2024 to press against the inclined groove 2053, causing the positioning rod 2054 to disengage from the positioning groove 206. At this time, the flip cover 204 can be opened, so that a single glass curtain wall can be removed individually. By removing a single glass curtain wall individually, it is not necessary to disassemble the connecting parts of multiple surrounding glass curtain walls as in the traditional method. This not only avoids the problem of excessively long overall replacement cycle caused by disassembling large areas of connecting parts, but also greatly reduces maintenance costs, making the maintenance of glass curtain walls more efficient and economical.

[0054] Example 3

[0055] Combination Figures 1-7 It is concluded that the bearing connection mechanism 100 includes multiple connection components 101, and the ends of adjacent connection components 101 are connected into a whole by a support component 102. A glass curtain wall positioning mechanism 200 is provided on the support component 102.

[0056] The glass curtain wall positioning mechanism 200 includes a side clamping assembly 201, which is connected to a supporting assembly 102. The side clamping assembly 201 is fixed diagonally to four glass curtain walls by four mounting assemblies 202. The flip covers 204 of the four mounting assemblies 202 are hinged to the same cross plate 207 by hinges. A locking assembly 203 is provided on the mounting assembly 202, which is connected to the flip cover 204. Two positioning assemblies 205 are provided on one side of the flip cover 204. The positioning rods 2054 of the positioning assemblies 205 are engaged in the positioning grooves 206. Multiple positioning grooves 206 are formed on the cross seat 209. The cross seat 209 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 2011 of the side clamping assembly 201, and the cross seat 209 is fixed to the cross plate 207 by a quick-lock assembly 208.

[0057] In this embodiment, by connecting the connecting component 101 and the supporting component 102 together, and connecting the supporting component 102 to the glass curtain wall positioning mechanism 200, the glass of the glass curtain wall, the connecting component 101, and the glass curtain wall positioning mechanism 200 work together. This allows the glass curtain wall to maintain excellent structural stability and overall aesthetics without the need for additional columns at the external corners. Moreover, this connection method not only ensures installation stability but also fully considers the convenience of later maintenance. During installation, the components are tightly connected and precisely positioned, ensuring that the glass curtain wall can be installed quickly and stably. When maintenance is required, the components can be easily disassembled and replaced, greatly reducing maintenance costs and time costs, and truly achieving dual optimization of installation and maintenance.

[0058] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When positioning the glass curtain wall, the disassembly head 304 is fitted onto the screw 2081 by the operating rod 303, and the adjusting seat 301 is rotated by the operating rod 303, so that the adjusting seat 301 drives the disassembly head 304 to rotate the screw 2081, so that the screw 2081 drives the threaded cylinder 2083 to move, so that the threaded cylinder 2083 drives the cross seat 209 to move, so that the cross seat 209 drives the mounting part 1022 to move, and the mounting part 1022 can drive the ball joint fixing part 2013 to move. The ball joint fixing part 2013 can position the glass curtain wall, so that the diagonal between adjacent glass curtain walls is locked and connected. The screw 2081 penetrates the threaded cylinder 2083 to pierce the chemical agent, so that the screw 2081 and the threaded cylinder 2083 are bonded and fixed. After the connection is in place, the middle rod 2082 passes through the hollow head 305 to protrude from the opening, so that the glass curtain wall connection can be directly fed back.

[0059] When the glass curtain wall needs to be removed separately, the disassembly head 304 is connected to the stud 2023, and the lock head 2031 is pushed by the hollow head 305, so that the lock head 2031 drives the locking tooth 2033 to disengage from the locking tooth 2035. At this time, the disassembly head 304 is sleeved on one end of the stud 2023, and the disassembly head 304 is rotated, so that the stud 2023 and the threaded sleeve 2022 are threadedly driven, so that the threaded sleeve 2022 drives the ball hinge mounting part 2021 away from the glass curtain wall, and the ball hinge fixing part 2013 drives the inclined block 2024 into the inclined groove 2053, so that the inclined block 2024 and the inclined groove 2053 generate a squeezing movement, so that the positioning rod 2054 drives the second spring 2052 to deform, and the positioning rod 2054 disengages from the positioning groove 206. Then the flip cover 204 is opened, and the glass curtain wall can be removed at this time.

[0060] Then, the new glass curtain wall is assembled between the alignment plates 2012, and the stud 2023 is rotated again by the disassembly and assembly tool 300, so that the threaded cylinder 2083 drives the ball joint fixing part 2013 to position the glass curtain wall. After the inclined block 2024 is disengaged from the inclined groove 2053, the second spring 2052 drives the positioning rod 2054 to insert into the positioning groove 206 to lock the flip cover 204. When the disassembly and assembly tool 300 is removed, the first spring 2032 drives the lock head 2031 to reset, so that the locking teeth 2033 and the locking teeth 2035 are locked, thus completing the installation of the glass curtain wall.
