Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an outward-tilting tapering structure for glass curtain walls, belonging to the field of building curtain wall technology. Background Technology
[0002] Glass curtain walls are widely used in modern architecture due to their aesthetic appeal and excellent light transmission. However, the design of the cladding structure directly affects the curtain wall's waterproofing, structural stability, and overall appearance. Existing glass curtain wall cladding structures mostly use vertical or horizontal straight panel structures, which have the following drawbacks: First, the drainage path is unreasonable, easily leading to rainwater accumulation and increasing the risk of leakage; second, the connection with the main building structure is not sufficiently sealed and lacks effective protection, making it prone to loosening and aging over long-term use; third, uneven stress distribution affects overall stability and also results in poor aesthetics.

[0027] As attached Figure 1-2As shown, the outward-tilting apex structure of a glass curtain wall according to the present invention includes a glass curtain wall panel 1 and a top apex panel.
[0028] The glass curtain wall panel 1 is installed vertically on the outside of the main building 5. Specifically, the glass curtain wall panel 1 includes aluminum alloy columns 11, aluminum alloy beams 12, and glass panels 13. The aluminum alloy columns 11 and aluminum alloy beams 12 are connected and fixed to each other by bolts. The glass panels 13 are installed and fixed to the outside of the aluminum alloy beams 12 by structural adhesive and double-sided adhesive. A steel adapter 111 is provided on the aluminum alloy columns 11. The aluminum alloy columns 11 are installed on the main building 5 through the steel adapter 111 to transfer the load of the glass curtain wall panel 1 to the main building 5.
[0029] In this embodiment, the steel adapter 111 has multiple horizontally oriented adjustment elongated holes 1111, and each adjustment elongated hole 1111 is fitted with an adjustment bolt 1112. The aluminum alloy column 11 and the steel adapter 111 are connected through the adjustment elongated holes 1111 and the adjustment bolts 1112 to adjust the front and rear positions of the aluminum alloy column 11. During assembly, the adjustment bolts 1112 are first inserted into the adjustment elongated holes 1111, and then one end of the adjustment bolts 1112 is connected to the threaded holes reserved in the aluminum alloy column 11. By pushing the aluminum alloy column 11 along the adjustment elongated holes 1111, the front and rear positions of the column are precisely adjusted. After adjustment, the adjustment bolts 1112 are tightened to complete the fixation, thereby reducing the assembly positioning error during construction, ensuring that the surfaces of multiple glass curtain wall panels 1 are flush after installation, and improving the overall appearance of the curtain wall.
[0030] Furthermore, an aluminum alloy pressure plate 131 is provided at the top of the glass panel 13. One end of the aluminum alloy pressure plate 131 is connected and fixed to the aluminum alloy beam 12 by bolts or snap-fit structure, and the other end of the aluminum alloy pressure plate 131 is bonded and fixed to the outside of the glass panel 13 by structural adhesive, and presses the glass panel 13 to ensure the stability of the glass panel 13.
[0031] The top closing structure includes an outward-sloping section 2 and a horizontal section 3. The bottom of the outward-sloping section 2 is connected and fixed to the glass curtain wall panel, and the middle part of the outward-sloping section 2 is installed and fixed to the outside of the main building 5 through an angle steel connector 4. The horizontal section 3 is installed and fixed to the top of the main building 5. The front end of the horizontal section 3 is connected and fixed to the top of the outward-sloping section 2, and the rear end of the horizontal section 3 extends to the inside of the main building 5 and is sealed to the inner wall of the main building 5 to completely cover the top of the main building 5. By decomposing the top closing structure into a segmented and fully covered structure of outward-sloping section 2 and horizontal section 3, the top corners of the main building 5 can be effectively prevented from being exposed, thereby reducing the erosion of the main structure by the external environment from the root.
[0032] As attached Figure 1As shown, specifically, the outward-sloping section 2 includes a first aluminum plate 21, a first steel keel 22, and a first transition steel part 23; the first aluminum plate 21 and the first steel keel 22 are arranged parallel to each other and are inclined outward from bottom to top. This inclined panel allows rainwater to slide down quickly along the outward-sloping surface, avoiding rainwater accumulation and solving the problem of easy water accumulation and leakage at existing horizontal or vertical joints.
[0033] The edge of the first aluminum plate 21 is processed with a first folded edge structure 211. The folded edge structure can enhance the rigidity of the aluminum plate edge and prevent the aluminum plate from deforming during installation. The first folded edge structure 211 on the first aluminum plate 21 is fixed to the first steel keel 22 by multiple first angle brackets 61. In this embodiment, the first angle brackets 61 are connected to the first folded edge structure 211 and the first steel keel 22 by screws. The first angle brackets 61 are evenly distributed at intervals on the first folded edge structure 211 to ensure that the first aluminum plate 21 is subjected to uniform force, improve the overall structural stability of the outward tilting section 2, and at the same time, can evenly transfer the load of the outward tilting section 2 to the main building 5, avoiding excessive force on a single connection point that could cause structural loosening. One end of the first transition steel part 23 is fixed to the rear side of the first steel keel 22 by welding, and the other end is fixed to the angle steel connector 4 by welding. The angle steel connector 4 is also fixed to the main building 5 by welding.
[0034] As attached Figure 2 As shown, further, an L-shaped connector 212 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the first aluminum plate 21, and the first aluminum plate 21 is fixed to the aluminum alloy beam 12 through the L-shaped connector 212; in this embodiment, the L-shaped connector 212 is made of aluminum alloy, the first aluminum plate 21 and the L-shaped connector 212 are connected by rivets, and the L-shaped connector 212 and the aluminum alloy beam 12 are connected by screws.
[0035] Furthermore, a first foam rod 71 is filled between the L-shaped connector 212 and the aluminum alloy pressure plate 131. The first foam rod 71 can achieve preliminary sealing and buffering, avoiding sealing gaps caused by hard contact. The first sealant 72 is applied to the outside of the first foam rod 71 to further improve the sealing performance, effectively preventing rainwater from seeping in from the bottom of the outward tilting section 2 and the connection with the curtain wall, ensuring a dry environment inside the curtain wall.
[0036] As attached Figure 1 , 3As shown in Figure 4, the horizontal section 3 includes a second aluminum plate 31, a second steel keel 32, and a second transition steel component 33. The second aluminum plate 31 and the second steel keel 32 are arranged parallel to each other. The edge of the second aluminum plate 31 is processed to form a second folded edge structure 311. The second folded edge structure 311 has the same function as the first folded edge structure 211 mentioned above, which strengthens the structure on the one hand and facilitates connection on the other. The second folded edge structure 311 on the second aluminum plate 31 is fixed to the second steel keel 32 by multiple second angle brackets 62. One end of the second transition steel component 33 is connected and fixed to the second steel keel 32, and the other end is connected and fixed to the main building 5. The connection method of each component of the horizontal section 3 is the same as that of the outward tilting section 2, and will not be described again.
[0037] Furthermore, an angle aluminum fastener 321 is provided at the front end of the second steel keel 32, and a U-shaped connector 81 is provided between the top end of the first aluminum plate 21 and the front end of the second aluminum plate 31. The two sides of the U-shaped connector 81 are connected and fixed to the first aluminum plate 21 and the second aluminum plate 31 respectively by rivets. An aluminum alloy bracket 811 is provided inside the U-shaped connector 81. The aluminum alloy bracket 811, the U-shaped connector 81 and the angle aluminum fastener 321 are fixed together on the second steel keel 32 by screws. A sealing bracket 812 is snapped onto the outside of the aluminum alloy bracket 811. The aluminum alloy bracket 811 and the sealing bracket 812 are snapped together using a staggered hook structure commonly used in the art to ensure the stability of the connection between the outward tilt section 2 and the horizontal section 3.
[0038] The multi-level connection and fixing structure makes the connection between the outward tilt section 2 and the horizontal section 3 more secure, avoiding relative displacement at the connection point. At the same time, the sealing clip 812 can cover the connection node at the connection point, improving the overall appearance.
[0039] Furthermore, a second foam rod 73 is filled at the joint between the first aluminum plate 21 and the second aluminum plate 31, and a second sealant 74 is applied to the outside of the second foam rod 73, thereby further preventing rainwater from seeping into the joint and ensuring the water tightness of the joint.
[0040] As attached Figure 1 , 5As shown, the rear side of the second aluminum plate 31 has a bent structure 312, which extends to the inner side of the building body 5. A hook connector 51 is fixed to the inner wall of the building body 5 by expansion bolts. The hook part of the hook connector 51 is connected and fixed to the bent structure 312 of the second aluminum plate 31. In this embodiment, the hook connector 51 and the bent structure 312 of the second aluminum plate 31 are fixed by adhesive bonding. Of course, in actual use, bolts or clips can also be used for fixing. After fixing, a third sealant 75 is applied to the connection to fill the tiny gaps at the connection, forming an all-round sealing protection to prevent rainwater or water vapor from seeping in from the inner side of the building body 5, and further ensuring the waterproof performance of the closing structure.
[0041] In summary, this application effectively avoids the exposure of the top corners of the main building 5 by decomposing the top closing structure into a segmented and fully covered structure of outward-sloping section 2 and horizontal section 3, thereby reducing the erosion of the main structure by the external environment from the source. By utilizing the multi-layered sealing and protective connection structure of outward-sloping section 2 and horizontal section 3, the connection and sealing between the closing structure and the main building 5 and curtain wall panels are improved, the risk of leakage is reduced, and the service life of the closing structure is extended.
[0042] Meanwhile, the outward-sloping section 2 and the horizontal section 3 transfer the load through the first and second transition steel parts 33 respectively, and the load is transferred between them through the angle aluminum fastener 321, so that the load of the section can be evenly transferred to the main body of the building 5, avoiding excessive stress on a single node that could cause loosening, and improving the overall stability of the structure.
[0043] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it. They should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
