Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention patent relates to the field of glass curtain wall technology, specifically to a sloped glass curtain wall installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of modern building technology and the improvement of people's aesthetic demands, glass curtain walls, due to their transparency, lightness, and strong modern feel, are widely used in various public buildings, commercial buildings, and high-end residences. Among them, sloping glass curtain walls, as a special architectural expression, not only break the monotony of traditional vertical curtain walls, creating unique streamlined or geometric shapes and enhancing the artistic expression and visual impact of buildings, but also help optimize the building's lighting performance and wind load distribution, thereby improving overall energy efficiency.

[0003] However, existing devices have the following problems when in use: Traditional curtain wall installation systems are mostly designed based on rectangular coordinate systems and are usually fixed installations. The angles of their connecting components (such as adapters, angle brackets, etc.) are not adjustable or have extremely limited adjustment capabilities. When dealing with complex sloping designs, traditional methods have obvious drawbacks: First, the adjustment of horizontal and vertical angles often interferes with each other and is difficult to fine-tune independently, resulting in a cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive construction and debugging process; Second, after the angle is initially determined, there is a lack of efficient and reliable locking mechanisms, and welding or ordinary bolt fastening is often relied upon. The former is irreversible and requires extremely high construction precision, while the latter is prone to loosening or slippage under long-term wind vibration, temperature difference deformation and other alternating loads, posing safety hazards.

[0004] The purpose of this invention patent is to solve the problems existing in the prior art by proposing a sloped glass curtain wall installation structure, which significantly improves installation efficiency, accuracy and safety.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention patent adopts the following technical solution: A sloped glass curtain wall installation structure includes a fixing plate, which is securely installed on the wall by expansion bolts. The structure is characterized by: a fixing block fixedly installed on the fixing plate; a fixing shaft fixedly installed on the fixing block; a connecting frame rotatably installed on the fixing shaft; the connecting frame includes a horizontal seat connected to the fixing block; an inclined seat integrally formed on the horizontal seat; a locking mechanism provided on the fixing block; a support unit connected to the inclined seat of the connecting frame; a secondary support grid provided on the support unit; and glass wall panels installed on the secondary support grid.

[0006] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a locking tooth block and a limiting tooth groove. The limiting tooth groove is opened on the side of the connecting frame facing the fixed block. The center of the limiting tooth groove is on the same straight line as the rotation axis of the connecting frame. The locking tooth block is slidably installed on the fixed block. The locking tooth block is adapted to the limiting tooth groove. The fixed block is provided with a groove that allows the locking tooth block to only move vertically. The locking tooth block can be partially exposed or completely inside the groove. The fixed block is provided with a driving mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes an internally threaded sleeve, which is fixedly mounted on a fixed block. A threaded rod is threadedly mounted on the internally threaded sleeve. One end of the threaded rod is rotatably mounted on a locking tooth block, and the other end of the threaded rod passes through the fixed block and is fixedly mounted on an operating block.

[0008] Preferably, the support unit includes a mounting plate, which is fixed to the connecting frame by bolts, and the mounting plate is connected to the support frame.

[0009] Preferably, a sealing gasket is embedded on the side of the connecting frame facing the fixing block. The sealing gasket is in the shape of a ring, and the contact part between the locking tooth block and the limiting tooth groove is inside the sealing gasket. The sealing gasket can fit against the upper surface of the fixing block.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting bracket has a locking hole, the mounting plate has an alignment hole, and a slider is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting plate facing the locking hole. The locking hole has a groove that matches the slider. When the slider moves into place inside the groove, the locking hole and the alignment hole are aligned.

[0011] Preferably, an indicator is fixedly installed on the fixed shaft, and an angle scale line is provided on the connecting frame. The indicator is adapted to the angle scale line, and the center of the indicator and the center of the angle scale line are on the same straight line.

[0012] Preferably, the secondary support grid includes a horizontal support frame, on which a vertical support frame is welded.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this invention patent has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention patent has excellent horizontal angle adjustment and locking capabilities. By rotating the connecting frame around a fixed axis, the curtain wall unit can achieve precise angle positioning in the horizontal direction, meeting the design requirements of complex facades. Its unique tooth block and tooth groove meshing locking mechanism achieves mechanical self-locking through threaded rod drive. After adjustment, it can generate frictional resistance and mechanical resistance, effectively preventing slippage and ensuring that it maintains a stable position for a long time under the action of external forces such as wind load and temperature changes, taking into account both flexible adjustability and absolute reliability of the final state. 2. This invention patent uses a pre-set slider and groove guiding structure, so that the mounting plate can only slide along a single correct path during assembly, avoiding misalignment and rotation errors during the installation process. When the slider reaches the end of its stroke, all bolt locking holes are automatically and accurately aligned. This "error-proof" design greatly simplifies the high-altitude operation process, and construction personnel can quickly complete the fastening without repeated measurement and correction, significantly improving installation efficiency, accuracy and safety.

[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0017] Please see Figures 1 to 7 A sloped glass curtain wall installation structure includes a fixing plate 1, which is securely installed on the wall by expansion bolts.

[0018] A fixing block 2 is fixedly installed on the fixing plate 1, a fixing shaft 7 is fixedly installed on the fixing block 2, and a connecting frame 3 is rotatably installed on the fixing shaft 7. A locking mechanism is provided on the fixing block 2. To accommodate the inclined installation requirements of the glass curtain wall, the connecting frame 3 includes a horizontal seat connected to the fixing block 2 and an inclined seat for installing the mounting plate 8. The inclined seat and the horizontal seat are integrally formed, and the angle between the horizontal seat and the inclined seat is set according to the installation requirements.

[0019] The fixed block 2 and the fixed shaft 7 together form a rotation hub, allowing the connecting frame 3 to rotate around the axis, which facilitates the adjustment of the horizontal angle of the curtain wall; the locking mechanism is used to fix the adjusted position and prevent accidental rotation. It is worth noting that adjacent units need to rotate in a coordinated manner to ensure the consistency and stability of the overall facade.

[0020] A mounting plate 8 is fixedly installed on the connecting frame 3 by bolts, and a support frame 15 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 8.

[0021] Mounting plate 8 serves as an intermediate connector and is detachably mounted on connecting frame 3 via bolts. Support frame 15 is used to directly support the curtain wall support system. Support frame 15 is L-shaped and is integrally formed with mounting plate 8.

[0022] A horizontal support frame 4 is fixedly installed on the support frame 15 by bolts. A vertical support frame 5 is welded on the horizontal support frame 4. A glass wall 6 is set on the crisscrossing horizontal support frame 4 and vertical support frame 5. The horizontal support frame 4 and vertical support frame 5 together form the secondary support grid of the curtain wall. Finally, the glass wall 6 is fixed on this grid by components such as pressure blocks and adhesive strips.

[0023] This structure effectively transfers the weight of the glass wall 6 and the wind load it experiences to the support frame 15, and then through the entire installation structure to the main building.

[0024] It is worth noting that the glass wall 6 is fixed to the secondary support grid with sealant or sealant strips, and then fixed again with metal pressure strips. Since this part is existing technology, it will not be described in detail here.

[0025] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the locking mechanism includes a locking tooth block 16 and a limiting tooth groove 17. The limiting tooth groove 17 is opened on the side of the connecting frame 3 facing the fixed block 2. The center of the limiting tooth groove 17 is on the same straight line as the rotation axis of the connecting frame 3. The locking tooth block 16 is slidably mounted on the fixed block 2. The locking tooth block 16 is adapted to the limiting tooth groove 17. The fixed block 2 is provided with a groove that allows the locking tooth block 16 to only move vertically. The locking tooth block 16 can be partially exposed in the groove or completely inside the groove. The fixed block 2 is provided with a driving mechanism, and the output end of the driving mechanism is connected to the locking tooth block 16.

[0026] The limiting tooth groove 17 is a ring-shaped structure with multiple teeth. When the angle needs to be adjusted, the locking tooth block 16 is lowered by the drive mechanism to disengage it from the limiting tooth groove 17, and the connecting frame 3 can then rotate freely.

[0027] After adjustment, the locking tooth block 16 is lifted by the drive mechanism so that its teeth are engaged in the corresponding grooves of the limiting tooth groove 17. Due to the meshing of the teeth, reliable mechanical resistance is generated, preventing slippage in any direction.

[0028] The groove ensures that the locking tooth block 16 can only move vertically, preventing skew and jamming, and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of meshing.

[0029] like Figure 7 As shown, the drive mechanism includes an internal threaded sleeve 19, which is fixedly mounted on the fixed block 2. A threaded rod 20 is threadedly mounted on the internal threaded sleeve 19. One end of the threaded rod 20 is rotatably mounted on the locking tooth block 16, and the other end of the threaded rod 20 passes through the fixed block 2 and is fixedly mounted on the operating block 21.

[0030] The worker rotates the operating block 21 (which may be designed as a handwheel, hexagonal head, or screwdriver interface), and the threaded rod 20 rotates accordingly. Since the internal threaded sleeve 19 is fixed, the rotating threaded rod 20 will have axial displacement, thereby pushing or pulling the locking tooth block 16 up or down.

[0031] Once rotation stops, friction will keep the mechanism in its current position without the need for additional braking devices, making it very safe and reliable. Locking and unlocking can be easily achieved by rotating forward or backward, making it simple to operate, labor-saving, and precise in control.

[0032] like Figure 6 As shown, a sealing gasket 18 is embedded in the side of the connecting frame 3 facing the fixing block 2. The sealing gasket 18 is in the shape of a ring. The contact part between the locking tooth block 16 and the limiting tooth groove 17 is inside the sealing gasket 18, and the sealing gasket 18 can fit against the upper surface of the fixing block 2.

[0033] This sealing gasket 18 is a key design feature that ensures the long-term reliable operation of the locking mechanism and reduces maintenance requirements. It is usually made of weather-resistant rubber or silicone material and forms a sealing ring around the meshing area. The sealing gasket 18 is tightly pressed against the surface of the fixing block 2 to form a sealed cavity, which completely protects the precision tooth mechanism and effectively prevents rainwater, humid air, dust and corrosive contaminants from entering, greatly reducing the risk of rust, wear and jamming of the mechanism.

[0034] like Figure 4As shown, the connecting frame 3 has a locking hole 13, the mounting plate 8 has an alignment hole 14, and the mounting plate 8 has a slider 12 fixedly mounted on the side facing the locking hole 13. The connecting frame 3 has a groove 11 that matches the slider 12. When the slider 12 moves into place inside the groove 11, the locking hole 13 and the alignment hole 14 are aligned.

[0035] During installation, the worker only needs to align the slider 12 on the mounting plate 8 with the groove 11 on the connecting bracket 3, and then push it in along the groove 11. The cooperation between the slider 12 and the groove 11 ensures that the mounting plate 8 can only be installed along a preset, correct path, and cannot be rotated or offset incorrectly.

[0036] When the slider 12 reaches the end of the slide 11 (i.e., "moved into place"), the position of the mounting plate 8 relative to the connecting bracket 3 is uniquely determined. At this time, the locking hole 13 and the alignment hole 14 will automatically and precisely align. Workers only need to insert and tighten the bolts, which greatly simplifies the difficulty of high-altitude operations and improves the installation speed and accuracy.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, an indicator 9 is fixedly installed on the fixed shaft 7, and an angle scale line 10 is provided on the connecting frame 3. The indicator 9 is adapted to the angle scale line 10, and the center of the indicator 9 and the center of the angle scale line 10 are on the same straight line, so that the rotation angle of the connecting frame 3 can be accurately sensed.

[0038] This device provides an intuitive and quantitative visual reference for horizontal angle adjustment and is an essential tool for achieving synchronous and precise adjustment of multiple units. The angle scale lines 10 are usually in degrees (°) and may be marked with commonly used angles (such as 0°, 5°, 10°). The actual sparseness of the angle scale lines 10 should be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0039] When adjusting, workers can clearly see the scale value indicated by indicator 9, thus knowing the exact angle of rotation of the connecting frame 3, ensuring the efficiency of large-scale inclined curtain wall installation and the accuracy of the overall shape, and reducing the time spent on repeated measurements and verifications.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
