Traditional snowflake-shaped arrangement methods ignore the unique position of the curtain wall skirt, resulting in uneven distribution and poor visual effect.
Based on a detailed survey of the curtain wall structure and environmental factors, suitable snowflake materials and installation accessories were selected. Snowflakes were arranged in layers, with a dense bottom layer simulating snow accumulation, a middle layer of falling snow, and a sparse top layer of dynamic snow. The density was increased at the edges and corners to ensure the best effect under different lighting and wind conditions.
It enhances the overall aesthetics and visual appeal of the building, creates a realistic winter snow scene atmosphere, and strengthens the building's festive atmosphere and attractiveness.
Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of curtain wall snowflake technology, specifically a method for arranging snowflakes at the skirt position of a curtain wall. Background Technology
[0002] "Snowflake curtain wall" refers to a special curtain wall design element, typically used for the exterior decoration of buildings. Specifically, it refers to a curtain wall made of patterned glass with a "snowflake" texture.
[0003] However, traditional snowflake arrangement methods often overlook the uniqueness of the curtain wall skirt position, resulting in uneven distribution and poor visual effects. Therefore, a snowflake arrangement method for the curtain wall skirt position is invented. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the problems existing in the above and / or existing methods for arranging snowflakes at the position of curtain wall skirts, the present invention is proposed.
[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a snowflake arrangement method for the skirt position of a curtain wall, which can solve the problems of the traditional snowflake arrangement method mentioned above, which often ignores the uniqueness of the skirt position of the curtain wall and has problems such as uneven distribution and poor visual effect.
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A method for arranging snowflakes at the skirt position of a curtain wall, comprising the following specific steps:
[0008] S1, Site Survey: First, analyze the curtain wall structure, then assess the environmental factors;
[0009] S2, Material Selection: Select the material and installation accessories for the snowflake;
[0010] S3, Arrange snowflakes: Based on the height of the curtain wall skirt, arrange the snowflakes in three layers. The bottom layer of snowflakes is larger and more densely distributed to simulate the effect of snow accumulation. The middle layer of snowflakes is of moderate size to create a dynamic sense of falling. The top layer of snowflakes is smaller and sparser to create the illusion of snow falling from a high altitude.
[0011] S4, Add snowflakes: Increase the density of snowflakes at the edges and corners of the skirt to highlight the outline of the building. In the central area of the skirt, the snowflakes are distributed relatively sparsely to avoid visual congestion.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the snowflake arrangement method for the skirt position of a curtain wall according to the present invention, the specific steps of S1 are as follows:
[0013] S11, Curtain Wall Structure Analysis: Detailed measurements and records are made of the curtain wall's material, structure, and dimensions, especially the parameters of the skirt's tilt angle, length, and width, as these data directly affect the arrangement and quantity of snowflakes.
[0014] S12, Environmental Factors Assessment: Consider the natural conditions of wind, sunlight, and temperature around the building to ensure that the snowflake arrangement is not affected by severe weather, and can present the best effect under different lighting conditions.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the snowflake arrangement method for the skirt position of a curtain wall according to the present invention, the specific steps of S11 are as follows:
[0016] S111, Data Collection: Contact the architectural design unit and construction party to obtain the curtain wall design drawings, including floor plans, elevations, sections, and detailed drawings of nodes, so as to understand the overall layout, number of floors, height, panel dimensions, and specific construction of the skirt position of the curtain wall. In addition, collect the curtain wall's completion report and maintenance records to understand whether any structural problems have occurred during the use of the curtain wall, so as to avoid risks when arranging snowflakes.
[0017] S112, On-site measurement: Using tools such as laser rangefinders and measuring tapes, the actual dimensions of the curtain wall are measured, with a focus on measuring the tilt angle, length, width, and distance from the surrounding structure of the skirt position to ensure that the measurement data is accurate. For curtain walls with complex shapes, a total station can be used for three-dimensional scanning to obtain accurate spatial data. At the same time, the material of the curtain wall is observed and its surface characteristics are recorded.
[0018] S113, Analysis and Organization: Summarize the collected data and measurement information, compare the design drawings with the actual situation to see if there are any differences, analyze the structural characteristics of the curtain wall, determine its load-bearing capacity and stability, determine the operable area for snowflake arrangement, and select appropriate installation methods and accessories according to the material and surface characteristics of the curtain wall to ensure that the snowflake arrangement is both beautiful and safe.

[0020] S121, Information Collection: Obtain meteorological data for the surrounding area of the building over the past 3-5 years from the local meteorological department, including average wind force, wind direction, snowfall, sunshine duration and intensity, and temperature variation range. At the same time, install temporary meteorological monitoring equipment at the building site to record wind force and sunshine intensity data in real time and monitor continuously for one week to obtain accurate first-hand data. In addition, conduct on-site investigation of the surrounding environment of the building to observe whether there are tall buildings, trees, billboards, or other obstructions that affect airflow and sunshine, and record their location and height.
[0021] S122, Analysis and Integration: The collected meteorological data and field investigation information are summarized and analyzed. Based on the wind data, the possible wind impact on the snowflakes is determined, the strength and fixing method of the installation accessories are determined, and the snowflake placement position is planned according to the light intensity and direction to ensure good results at different times. In combination with temperature and snowfall, the appropriate snowflake material is selected to prevent damage to the snowflakes due to low temperature or snow accumulation.
[0022] S123, Simulation Test: Conduct a snowflake arrangement simulation test on a small scale to observe the display effect under different time periods and weather conditions. By simulating different wind and lighting scenarios, adjust the snowflake arrangement density and height, optimize the plan, and ensure that the final arrangement effect meets expectations.
[0023] As a preferred embodiment of the snowflake arrangement method for the skirt position of a curtain wall according to the present invention, the specific steps of S2 are as follows:

Finally, arrange the adjacent snowflakes in a staggered manner to form a natural snow accumulation effect.
[0028] S32, Middle Layer Arrangement: First, select medium-sized snowflakes with a diameter of 5-8 cm. Then, use transparent fishing line to suspend them in the middle of the skirt. The length of the transparent fishing line should be 30-50 cm. Finally, make the position of the snowflakes staggered from the bottom snowflakes to create a sense of layering as if snowflakes are falling.
[0029] S33, Top layer arrangement: First, use smaller snowflakes with a diameter of 2-3 cm. Then, use transparent fishing line to suspend them at the top of the skirt. The length of the transparent fishing line is 50-80 cm. Finally, let the snowflakes sway naturally in the breeze to simulate the dynamic effect of high-altitude snowfall.
