Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building curtain wall construction technology, specifically to a method for constructing a visually seamless structure for complex curved aluminum panel curtain walls. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of modern architectural aesthetics, curtain walls with complex curved shapes are increasingly used in large public buildings. The construction of such curtain walls has long faced technical challenges, including difficulty in controlling installation accuracy, obvious visual seams, low construction efficiency, and complex adaptation to deviations in the main structure. Existing technologies often employ traditional scaffolding erection and manual measurement methods, which suffer from low efficiency and insufficient accuracy; or, although BIM technology is used, it is not fully integrated with on-site scanning data, resulting in a disconnect between the model and actual site conditions; or, a systematic solution covering the entire process of design, positioning, installation, and post-construction treatment is lacking.

[0003] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a visually seamless structural construction method for complex curved aluminum panel curtain walls is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the problems mentioned above by designing a visually seamless construction method for complex curved aluminum panel curtain walls. This invention solves the problems of poor installation accuracy and obvious visual seams in complex curved curtain walls, achieving high-precision and high-efficiency construction.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides a visually seamless construction method for complex curved aluminum panel curtain walls, comprising: a support system, a panel system, and a seamless treatment system; the support system includes fasteners anchored to the civil structure by chemical anchors, a horizontal adapter arm connecting the fasteners, a main keel vertically arranged through the adapter arm, a secondary keel horizontally arranged on the main keel, and an expansion and contraction adjustment assembly; the panel system includes aluminum panels and self-tapping connectors; the aluminum panels are fixedly connected to the secondary keels, the expansion and contraction adjustment assembly is arranged between the secondary keels and the aluminum panels, and the seamless treatment system is located at the junction of the aluminum panels and the plaster layer.

[0006] Furthermore, the seamless processing system includes: sealant, filler strip, and decorative coating. The filler strip is provided between the aluminum panel and the plaster layer, the filler strip is provided with sealant, and the decorative coating is provided on the aluminum panel.

[0007] This application also discloses a visually seamless construction method for complex curved aluminum panel curtain walls, including the following steps: S1. Detailed Design and Coordinate Extraction: Based on BIM software, a three-dimensional model of the tunnel shape is established, the curved model is decomposed into planar aluminum single-panel units, and the number of each panel and the three-dimensional coordinate data of the corner points are generated. S2. Measurement and Positioning: Using a total station based on the exported three-dimensional coordinate data, control points are measured and marked on the construction site to indicate the installation center position of the fasteners and the axis of the keel. S3. Installation of post-embedded parts: After drilling and cleaning at the marked positions, insert chemical anchors, install fasteners, and weld the fasteners to the transverse adapter arm after the pull-out test is qualified. S4. Keel frame installation: First, install the vertical main keel and weld it to the horizontal adapter arm; then, according to the grid size, install the horizontal secondary keel on the side of the main keel and install the telescopic adjustment components at the specified intervals. S5. Panel assembly: Transport the aluminum panels to the corresponding positions according to their numbers, fix them to the secondary keel by penetrating the aluminum panel folded edge with self-tapping connectors, and adjust the panel gaps. S6. Joint filling: Fill the joints between aluminum panels with filler strips, protect with masking tape, apply sealant and smooth. S7. Seamless surface treatment: After the sealant has cured, clean the board surface, and apply primer, spray stone paint, and apply transparent topcoat to the joints and the board surface in sequence to form a visually seamless effect.

[0008] Furthermore, in S3, the specific process for installing the post-embedded component is as follows: the drilling diameter is 2-4 mm larger than the diameter of the chemical anchor bolt. After cleaning the hole, the anchoring adhesive is injected, and the chemical anchor bolt is inserted. After the adhesive has cured, a pull-out test is conducted on site. Only after the test is passed can the fastener be installed and welded.

[0009] Furthermore, in S4, the installation position of the telescopic adjustment component is as follows: a telescopic adjustment node is set at the connection of the secondary keel every four segments; the specific connection method is as follows: a rubber pad is set between the secondary keel and the aluminum single panel through the self-tapping connector, and hot-dip galvanized steel angle brackets are used for external bridging, and two bolts are used to pass through the elongated holes on the steel angle brackets for connection, so as to adapt to temperature difference deformation.

[0010] Furthermore, in step S5, the installation process of the aluminum panel includes: the aluminum panel is made of aluminum alloy plate with a pre-applied fluorocarbon coating on the surface; during installation, stainless steel countersunk self-tapping screws are used as self-tapping connectors to directly penetrate the folded edge of the aluminum plate and fix it to the secondary keel.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S6, the specific operation of filling the gap is as follows: tear open the folded edge of the protective film of the aluminum single panel, apply masking tape to the corner folded edge, and fold the masking tape at a 90° angle at the four corner glue seams; fill with a dense filler strip, control the glue injection temperature at 15-30℃ and the relative humidity above 50%; after the glue is injected, scrape it flat in one go, and tear off the masking tape at a 45° outward tilt angle before the sealant is surface dry.

[0012] Furthermore, for the junction of the curtain wall and the plaster surface of the building, a flexible isolation construction method is adopted, and a gap is reserved between the bottom of the aluminum panel and the outdoor plaster surface; filler strips are filled into the gap and sealant is injected to form an elastic connection, preventing cracking caused by inconsistent deformation of different materials.

[0013] Furthermore, in step S7, the coating process for seamless surface treatment includes: first layer: applying a special primer of the same color by roller, leaving a serrated joint at the edge of the coating, with a drying time of 2 hours; second layer: spraying real stone paint, first spraying horizontally in a W shape, then spraying vertically in an S shape, and rolling with a semi-dry roller; third layer: applying weather-resistant transparent topcoat, with the roller brushing sequence being first the corners and then the large surface, and first the top and then the bottom.

[0014] In summary, the visually seamless structural construction method for complex curved aluminum panel curtain walls of the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial technical effects: 1. This invention and method solve the problem of obvious seams and visual discontinuity in traditional aluminum panel curtain walls through a unique seamless processing system. By employing a multi-layered processing technique of "filling with foam rods + injecting sealant + covering with a uniform coating," the physical seams between aluminum panels are eliminated, giving irregularly shaped curved surfaces a continuous and unified visual effect. Furthermore, flexible isolation construction is used at the junctions of different materials, ensuring a natural transition in appearance and effectively preventing coating cracking caused by differences in material expansion coefficients. 2. This invention employs a double-layer frame system of main keel + secondary keel, and a telescopic adjustment component consisting of "rubber pads + steel angle brackets + elongated hole bolts" is specially set at the connection of the secondary keel; this mechanical structure not only ensures the connection strength of the frame, but also effectively absorbs and releases the thermal expansion and contraction stress of the metal components caused by the temperature difference of the environment, preventing the curtain wall from deforming or arching due to temperature stress. 3. This invention utilizes BIM parametric modeling technology to decompose complex irregular curved surfaces into quantifiable planar unit data, directly exporting aluminum plate processing drawings and positioning coordinates, thus realizing prefabricated construction.
