Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of curtain wall technology, and more specifically to a connection structure for an integrated thermal insulation panel. Background Technology

[0002] Integrated thermal insulation panels are prefabricated composite building materials that combine thermal insulation and decorative functions. They are typically used on building exteriors and installed via a combination of adhesive bonding and anchoring. Due to their advantages such as energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, simple and efficient installation, easy quality control, and low overall cost, integrated thermal insulation panels have been widely used and promoted in modern construction. While ensuring the stability and safety of the building structure, they provide comprehensive functions including thermal insulation, waterproofing, moisture resistance, fire resistance, durability, and aesthetic decoration.

[0003] In existing technologies, integrated thermal insulation panels for curtain walls typically consist of two layers of aluminum panels, inner and outer, and an intermediate sandwich layer. The intermediate sandwich layer is an insulation board made of thermal insulation material. The aluminum panels and the insulation board are then bonded together to form a composite panel. To ensure the thermal insulation effect of the integrated panel, during the manufacturing process, the edges of the inner and outer aluminum panels are usually bent, and the bent portions of the inner and outer aluminum panels are then overlapped. Finally, the integrated panel is fixed to the main structure using fasteners. During use, the aforementioned integrated insulation panels suffer from poor overall deformation resistance due to the lack of a frame support. This makes the aluminum surface of the panels prone to damage and unevenness, affecting both installation and insulation performance. Furthermore, the fixed installation structure of these panels means that significant stress can be generated internally when temperatures change. This fixed structure makes it difficult for the panels to release this stress, easily leading to deformation and abnormal noises, impacting user experience and hindering the promotion and application of this insulation panel structure in the field of decoration and renovation technology.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention is described below with reference to specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the invention.

They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0020] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Example: Figures 1 to 7 As shown in this embodiment, a connection structure for an integrated insulation panel is used to connect the steel column 1 and the insulation panel 2, ensuring structural strength while blocking heat conduction between metals to avoid the "thermal bridge effect." Specifically, the insulation panel 2 mainly consists of a panel 2-1, insulation cotton 2-2, a back plate 2-3, and side sealing plates 2-4. The panel 2-1 is the outer decorative layer, the insulation cotton 2-2 is the core insulation layer, the back plate 2-3 is the inner lining layer, and the side sealing plates 2-4 are used to seal the insulation cotton 2-2 on the sides. In actual installation, to ensure the reliability of the integrated insulation panel, the insulation panels 2 located on both sides of the steel column 1 can be connected together using long bolts or other connecting parts 9. The aforementioned panel 2-1, back panel 2-3, and side sealing panel 2-4 are bonded to the aforementioned insulation cotton 2-2 using a high-temperature curing thermoplastic two-component polyurethane (PU) adhesive. The assembly sequence from outdoor to indoor is that of the aforementioned panel 2-1, insulation cotton 2-2, and back panel 2-3, forming a box-type finished insulation system with sealed edges on all four sides. The aforementioned panel 2-1, back panel 2-3, and side sealing panel 2-4 are formed by continuous roll forming, fully releasing the internal stress within the metal plate. The aforementioned panel 2-1, back panel 2-3, and side sealing panel 2-4 form an installation position for placing the aforementioned insulation cotton 2-2, ensuring both the structural strength and insulation performance of the insulation board 2.

[0022] The connection structure described above in this embodiment mainly consists of profile connectors 3, thermal break strips 4, and fixing blocks 5. Two profile connectors 3 are located on the same side of the steel column 1. The insulation cotton 2-2, the panel 2-1, and the side sealing plate 2-4 form an installation groove 2-5 for installing the profile connectors 3. The profile connectors 3 are partially installed in the installation groove 2-5. The thermal break strip 4 is connected between the two profile connectors 3 located on the same side of the steel column 1. The fixing blocks 5 are installed between the two profile connectors 3 located in the same plane and are fixed to the steel column 1 by fasteners 6. That is, the two profile connectors 3 located on the same side of the steel column 1 are connected by the thermal break strip 4, which blocks the metal thermal bridge and improves the overall thermal insulation performance. The aforementioned fixing block 5 spans across the two profile connectors 3 and is then locked onto the steel column 1 with fasteners 6 (such as bolts) to ensure the stability of the overall structure. The two profile connectors 3 can be fixed by using single-point fastening, which can effectively improve construction efficiency.

[0023] Specifically, in this embodiment, the edges of the panel 2-1, the back plate 2-3, and the side sealing plate 2-4 are all formed with edging portions through continuous rolling and bending. The panel edging portion 2-1-1 of the panel 2-1 is located outside the profile connector 3, that is, it covers the profile connector 3 inside, ensuring the installation stability of the profile connector 3 while avoiding gaps between the insulation board 2 and the profile connector 3, thereby reducing the probability of phenomena affecting the insulation effect. In this embodiment, the back plate edging portion 2-3-1 of the back plate 2-3 is located outside the side sealing plate 2-4 and is fitted to the side sealing plate 2-4, avoiding gaps between the two, thereby ensuring the insulation effect of the insulation board 2. The side sealing plate edging portion 2-4-1 of the side sealing plate 2-4 is located below the back plate 2-3, similarly ensuring the structural strength of the insulation board 2 while ensuring the insulation performance. The aforementioned panel 2-1, panel edging portion 2-1-1, back panel 2-3, back panel edging portion 2-3-1, side sealing plate 2-4, and side sealing plate edging portion 2-4-1 together form a box-shaped integrated insulation panel. The three edging portions interlock to form a self-locking structure, eliminating the need for welding or numerous screws. Integral integrity is achieved solely through roll forming, effectively enhancing the overall structural strength of the insulation panel 2. In this embodiment, the edging structure, in conjunction with the thermal break strip 4, further effectively cuts off metal thermal bridges, ensuring the insulation effect of the insulation wall panel.

[0024] The profile connector 3 in this embodiment includes a connector connecting part 3-1 and a connector mounting part 3-2. The connector connecting part 3-1 is used to connect the thermal break strip 4 and the fixing block 5 to effectively transfer the load to the steel column 1. The connector mounting part 3-2 is hidden in the mounting groove 2-5 and fits tightly against the groove wall of the mounting groove 2-5, which can effectively disperse the stress on the surface of the insulation board 2 and ensure the stability of the profile connector 3 during installation. The contour of the connector mounting part 3-2 and the mounting groove 2-5 are perfectly matched (such as a bayonet, trapezoid, etc.) to achieve zero clearance fit and prevent the insulation board 2 from shaking. The profile connector 3 can simultaneously connect the steel column 1 and the interlocking insulation board 2, reducing the number of parts and reducing the accumulation of installation errors. The connector connecting part 3-1 and the connector mounting part 3-2 are integrally formed, which ensures the overall structural strength of the profile connector 3 while ensuring its service life and reducing the cost of replacement and maintenance. During installation, the mounting part 3-2 of the above-mentioned profile connector 3 slides into the mounting groove 2-5 along the length of the insulation board 2. After positioning, the fixing block 5 presses the connecting part 3-1 of the above-mentioned connector to form a double-safety fixation with clamping and interlocking. During maintenance, simply loosen the fixing block 5, and the insulation board 2 can be completely disassembled. The above-mentioned profile connector 3 can remain in the mounting groove 2-5 or be removed with the insulation board 2, realizing unit replacement and reducing the difficulty of disassembly and assembly.

[0025] In this embodiment, the connector mounting part 3-2 is a cuboid structure, used for installation in the mounting groove 2-5. A side plate fitting part 3-3 is also formed above the connector connecting part 3-1 located on the side of the connector mounting part 3-2. The side plate fitting part 3-3 extends vertically upward, so that a slot 3-5 for the side sealing plate 2-4 is formed between the side plate fitting part 3-3 and the connector mounting part 3-2. The side sealing plate 2-4 is inserted into the slot 3-5 from top to bottom, so that the insulation board 2 as a whole cannot be detached laterally, and no additional screws are needed to fix the side sealing plate 2-4, thus improving installation efficiency. Specifically, during installation, the connector mounting part 3-2 can be slid into the mounting groove 2-5 first. Then, when hoisting the insulation board 2, the side sealing plate edge part 2-4-1 is aligned with the slot 3-5 and inserted vertically. Finally, after the fixing block 5 is pressed tight, the side sealing plate 2-4 is mechanically locked in the slot 3-5 to ensure the stability of the overall structure of the integrated insulation board during installation and use. In this embodiment, the connector mounting part 3-2 has a hollow groove 3-6, which reduces the weight of the profile connector 3 itself while ensuring its structural strength.

[0026] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional width of the slot 3-5 is adapted to the thickness of the side sealing plate 2-4. The adapted width of the slot 3-5 effectively ensures that a uniform width of adhesive seam is formed between the outer side of the side sealing plate 2-4 and the panel edge 2-1-1 of the adjacent plate. After applying the adhesive, the thickness of the adhesive is uniform, and the sealing reliability is effectively improved. When hoisting the insulation board 2, the side sealing plate 2-4 automatically aligns with the adjacent plate seam the moment it is inserted into the slot 3-5, eliminating the need for repeated manual adjustments to the flatness and effectively improving installation efficiency.

[0027] In this embodiment, the connecting part 3-1 of the connector has two heat strip slots 3-4 for mounting the heat insulation strip 4. The two heat strip slots 3-4 are spaced apart, and the two heat insulation strips 4 form a double safety barrier, with the air cavity in between suppressing convective heat transfer. In this embodiment, the double slot structure can effectively constrain the two ends of the heat insulation strip 4, preventing it from sliding or warping under wind pressure.

[0028] To ensure the reliability between the profile connector 3 and the steel column 1, an adhesive strip 7 is also provided between the profile connector 3 and the steel column 1 in this embodiment to prevent slippage of the profile connector 3 during installation and use. Specifically, to reduce installation difficulty and to prevent the adhesive strip 7 from falling off, the connector part 3-1 in this embodiment has an adhesive strip groove 3-7 for installing the adhesive strip 7, and the adhesive strip 7 protrudes from the surface of the adhesive strip groove 3-7 during installation.

[0029] To further ensure the insulation effect of the integrated insulation panel and prevent indoor and outdoor air infiltration, in this embodiment, sealant 8 is also filled in the gap between two adjacent profile connectors 3. The sealant 8 can effectively prevent moisture from entering the cavity, protect the thermal break strip 4 and the metal cavity, extend the service life of the connection structure, and reduce the cost of use.

[0030] In this embodiment, the panel 2-1, the back plate 2-3, the side sealing plate 2-4, and the profile connector 3 are all made of aluminum. Aluminum is lightweight and has high strength. By using aluminum for the panel 2-1, the back plate 2-3, the side sealing plate 2-4, and the profile connector 3, the overall weight can be reduced while maintaining structural strength, making it easier to install and transport. In addition, aluminum has good corrosion resistance and can resist oxidation in the atmosphere, maintaining a long service life even in harsh environments.

[0031] This embodiment presents a connection structure for an integrated thermal insulation panel. This connection structure is simple and ingenious. It connects the steel column 1 and the insulation panel 2 by setting up profile connectors 3, thermal break strips 4, and fixing blocks 5. The insulation panel 2 is formed by continuous roll forming of the panel 2-1, insulation cotton 2-2, back panel 2-3, and side sealing panels 2-4. This can fully release the internal stress of the metal plate, ensure the structural strength of the insulation panel 2, and reduce the occurrence of adverse consequences such as breakage and gaps. Moreover, through the above connection structure, the overall strength, waterproof performance, and thermal insulation performance of the integrated thermal insulation panel curtain wall can be effectively guaranteed, improving the user experience and facilitating the promotion and application of the above connection structure in the field of curtain wall technology.
