Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass curtain wall corner technology, specifically to a corner structure without corner columns. Background Technology

[0002] A glass curtain wall is a building envelope system composed of glass panels and a metal supporting structure. It is a common type of exterior wall decoration in modern buildings. The transparent glass panels allow the interior of the building to receive ample natural light, reducing the energy consumption of artificial lighting during the day, while also giving people inside a wide view.

[0003] In existing projects, in order to achieve a lighter and more transparent architectural effect for glass curtain walls, architects usually choose a large-scale, small-scale approach to maximize natural light and views. Especially at the corners of unitized curtain walls, traditional methods typically employ two forms: the first is an "L-shaped" integrated unit approach, and the second is a split approach using male and female columns for interlocking at the corners. Neither of these methods can avoid the use of corner columns, which are always visible from the interior. To support the installation of the corner panels, corner columns cannot be avoided.

[0004] Chinese patent CN213774024U discloses a glass component and a connecting device for a folded-line all-glass curtain wall, comprising: a first glass component and a second glass component; the first glass component and the second glass component are arranged parallel to each other; the first glass component has a horizontal length greater than the length of the second glass component, and their corresponding ends in the longitudinal direction are flush as the flush ends of the glass component; wherein, the first glass component and the second glass component each include two glass panels, and there is a gap between the glass panels.

[0005] The aforementioned connecting device, under the action of the first, second, third, and fourth seals, connects the end of the glass panel to the side of the adjacent glass panel. This causes the first, second, third, and fourth seals located at the connection point of two adjacent glass components to form a shielding corner pillar. Furthermore, the spacer tube, the first, second, third, and fourth seals need to be manufactured separately using molds during the production process, which affects economic efficiency and wastes time.

[0020] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a corner structure without corner columns includes an assembly unit 1 forming the corner structure and two glass panels 2 installed on the assembly unit 1 according to the required corner structure angle. The assembly unit 1 includes an upper crossbeam assembly 4, a column 3, and a lower crossbeam assembly 5 connected sequentially from top to bottom, and a hanger 8 parallel to the column 3 is formed between the upper crossbeam assembly 4 and the lower crossbeam assembly 5. The hanger 8 is located at the inside corner connection of the two glass panels 2. An upper corner covering 6 is installed on the upper crossbeam assembly 4, and a lower corner covering 7 corresponding to the upper corner covering 6 is installed on the lower crossbeam assembly 5. An installation position for clamping the two glass panels 2 is formed between the upper corner covering 6, the lower corner covering 7, and the hanger 8. The upper crossbeam assembly 4 and the lower crossbeam assembly 5 form a complementary structure that can be interlocked with each other.

[0021] Two glass panels 2 are installed on the same assembly unit 1 at the same time, and the assembly unit 1 is located at the corner of the two glass panels 2. The upper crossbeam assembly 4 and the lower crossbeam assembly 5 are used to form support frames located at the top and bottom of the glass panels 2, respectively, to support the glass panels 2.

[0022] Under the action of the hanger 8, the inner back of the glass panel 2 is limited by the support of the hanger 8, while the outer surface of the glass panel 2 is limited and supported by the upper corner covering 6 and the lower corner covering 7. The upper corner covering 6 supports the top and outer surface of the glass panel 2 at the same time, and the lower corner covering 7 supports the bottom and outer surface of the glass panel 2 at the same time. Under the combined action of the upper corner covering 6, the lower corner covering 7 and the hanger 8, the glass panel 2 is clamped. At the same time, the upper corner covering 6 and the lower corner covering 7 are both bent structures, which can simultaneously position and support the two glass panels 2. The hanger 8 located at the inside corner connection of the two glass panels 2 can also simultaneously support the inner surface of the two glass panels 2.

[0023] Multiple group leader units 1 can be connected and positioned by interlocking upper crossbeam assembly 4 and lower crossbeam assembly 5, thereby enabling multiple group leader units 1 to be installed sequentially from bottom to top, meeting the installation requirements of multiple glass panels 2.

[0024] The upper crossbeam assembly 4 is composed of two upper crossbeam keels 41 spliced ​​together to form a corner, and the lower crossbeam assembly 5 is composed of two lower crossbeam keels 51 spliced ​​together to form a corner. The upper crossbeam keels 41 and the corresponding lower crossbeam keels 51 are arranged in parallel, and the glass panel 2 is installed between the upper crossbeam keels 41 and the lower crossbeam keels 51.

[0025] The included angle formed by the two upper horizontal beams 41 is set according to the required corner angle of the glass curtain wall. The two upper horizontal beams 41 are set one-to-one with the two glass panels 2. Similarly, the included angle formed by the two lower horizontal beams 51 is set according to the required corner angle of the glass curtain wall. The two lower horizontal beams 51 are set one-to-one with the two glass panels 2.

[0026] The upper crossbeam assembly 4 also includes an upper crossbeam insert 42 with a bent structure. Two upper crossbeam keels 41 are sleeved and installed on the upper crossbeam insert 42. The upper corner covering 6 is located at the connection of the two upper crossbeam keels 41, and the upper corner covering 6 is fixedly connected to both upper crossbeam keels 41. The two upper crossbeam keels 41 are located at the top of the column 3, and both upper crossbeam keels 41 are fixedly connected to the column 3.

[0027] The upper horizontal beam insert 42 has a bent structure set according to the required glass curtain wall corner angle. The two upper horizontal beam keels 41 are respectively sleeved on the opposite sides of the same upper horizontal beam insert 42. Under the action of the upper horizontal beam insert 42, the angle between the two upper horizontal beam keels 41 is limited. At the same time, the two upper horizontal beam keels 41 are fixedly connected on the same upper horizontal beam insert 42 by screws, so as to achieve the relative fixed setting between the two upper horizontal beam keels 41.

[0028] The upper corner cover 6 is fixedly connected to the upper crossbeam keel 41 by screws. The upper corner cover 6 is used to strengthen the relative fixing strength of the two upper crossbeam keels 41. At the same time, the upper corner cover 6 is used to cooperate with the hanger 8 to form an installation position that meets the installation requirements of the glass panel 2.

[0029] The lower crossbeam assembly 5 also includes a lower crossbeam insert 52 with a bent structure. Two lower crossbeam keels 51 are sleeved and installed on the lower crossbeam insert 52. The lower corner covering 7 is located at the connection of the two lower crossbeam keels 51, and the lower corner covering 7 is fixedly connected to both lower crossbeam keels 51. The two lower crossbeam keels 51 are located at the bottom of the column 3, and both lower crossbeam keels 51 are fixedly connected to the column 3.

[0030] The lower crossbeam insert 52 has a bent structure designed according to the required corner angle of the glass curtain wall. The two lower crossbeam studs 51 are respectively sleeved on opposite sides of the same lower crossbeam insert 52. Under the action of the lower crossbeam insert 52, the angle between the two lower crossbeam studs 51 is limited. At the same time, the two lower crossbeam studs 51 are fixedly connected on the same lower crossbeam insert 52 by screws, so as to achieve the relative fixed setting between the two lower crossbeam studs 51.

[0031] The lower corner cover 7 is fixedly connected to the lower crossbeam keel 51 by screws. The lower corner cover 7 is used to strengthen the relative fixation strength of the two lower crossbeam keels 51. At the same time, the lower corner cover 7 is used to cooperate with the hanger 8 to form an installation position that meets the installation requirements of the glass panel 2.

[0032] The upper corner cover 6 is connected to the outside of the upper crossbeam keel 41, and the lower corner cover 7 is connected to the outside of the lower crossbeam keel 51. An upward-opening insertion groove 43 is formed on the inner side of the upper crossbeam keel 41, and a downward-extending insertion bracket 53 is formed on the inner side of the lower crossbeam keel 51. The insertion bracket 53 is inserted into the insertion groove 43.

[0033] The upper corner cover 6 and the lower corner cover 7 are located on the outside of the overall structure of the assembly unit 1 and are used to install the glass panel 2. The plug-in bracket 53 and the plug-in slot 43 are located on the inside of the overall structure of the assembly unit 1, so that the plug-in bracket 53 and the plug-in slot 43 are located indoors, ensuring stable installation between adjacent assembly units 1.

[0034] The two ends of the boom 8 are connected to the upper crossbeam keel 41 and the lower crossbeam keel 51 respectively. The upper crossbeam keel 41 and the lower crossbeam keel 51 are provided with locking screws for locking the boom 8. A lifting gap 9 is formed between the boom 8 and the column 3.

[0035] Under the action of the locking screws, the upper crossbeam keel 41, the lower crossbeam keel 51 and the hanger 8 are fixedly connected to ensure the structural strength of the hanger 8. During the hoisting process, the tension belt can be set by passing through the hoisting gap 9. At this time, the tension belt is set around the hanger 8, which can meet the hoisting requirements of the overall assembly unit 1.

[0036] The upper corner cover 6 includes an upper connecting edge 61 connected to the upper crossbeam keel 41 and an upper corner piece 62 for limiting and supporting the glass panel 2. The upper corner piece 62 is connected to the bottom of the upper connecting edge 61 and extends downward. The installation position is located between the upper corner piece 62 and the hanger 8.

[0037] The upper connecting edge 61 is fitted onto the surface of the upper crossbeam keel 41 and is fixedly connected to the upper crossbeam keel 41 by screws. The upper corner piece 62 is an integral structure with the upper connecting edge 61. Under the fixing action of the upper connecting edge 61, the upper corner piece 62 is stably supported. The upper corner piece 62 is set parallel to the hanger 8. The glass panel 2 abuts against the upper corner piece 62 on the outside, while the inner wall of the glass panel 2 abuts against the hanger 8.

[0038] The lower crossbeam keel 51 forms a support frame 54 for supporting the installation position of the lower corner cover 7. The support frame 54 is flush with the plug-in frame 53. The lower corner cover 7 includes a lower connecting edge 71 connected to the support frame 54 and a lower corner piece 72 for limiting and supporting the glass panel 2. The lower corner piece 72 is connected to the top of the lower connecting edge 71 and extends upward. The installation position is located between the lower corner piece 72 and the hanger 8.

[0039] Under the action of the support frame 54, the position of the lower corner cover 7 is moved down, ensuring that when the plug-in frame 53 is in the plug-in state, the lower corner cover 7 on the support frame 54 is set close to the upper corner cover 6 of the connected assembly unit 1, thereby reducing the gap between the two connected assembly units 1 and improving the overall aesthetics.

[0040] The lower connecting edge 71 is fitted onto the surface of the lower crossbeam keel 51 and is fixedly connected to the lower crossbeam keel 51 by screws. The lower corner piece 72 is an integral structure with the lower connecting edge 71. The lower corner piece 72 is stably supported by the fixing action of the lower connecting edge 71. The lower corner piece 72 is set parallel to the hanger 8. The glass panel 2 abuts against the lower corner piece 72 on the outside, while the inner wall of the glass panel 2 abuts against the hanger 8.

[0041] A corner joint 10 is formed between the two glass panels 2, and the corner joint 10 is filled with structural adhesive.

[0042] In actual use, the upper horizontal beam insert 42 and lower horizontal beam insert 52 of the required glass curtain wall corner angle are prepared in the factory, and the required upper horizontal beam assembly 4 and lower horizontal beam assembly 5 are formed by assembling the upper horizontal beam keel 41 and lower horizontal beam keel 51. The upper horizontal beam assembly 4 and lower horizontal beam assembly 5 are then connected to the column 3 of the required height. Finally, the hanger 8 is installed between the upper horizontal beam assembly 4 and lower horizontal beam assembly 5 and is fixedly connected to the upper horizontal beam assembly 4 and lower horizontal beam assembly 5 to form a basic frame.

[0043] Glass support plates are installed on the upper crossbeam assembly 4, lower crossbeam assembly 5 and column 3 as needed, and backing plates, rock wool and glass panels 2 are installed on the basic frame. High-strength structural adhesive is filled at the corner joint 10 of the two glass panels 2 to form assembly unit 1. After the curing period is met, it is sent to the site for installation.

[0044] During on-site installation, the two assembly units 1 can be connected by the plug-in bracket 53 and the plug-in slot 43. The upper assembly unit 1 can be transferred between layers through the upper crossbeam assembly 4 of the lower assembly unit 1.
