Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of irregular-shaped curtain wall technology, and particularly to irregular-shaped curtain walls that are easy to position and install. Background Technology
[0002] The design concept of irregularly shaped curtain walls originates from the pursuit of architectural aesthetics and the innovation of spatial environment. It breaks away from the single form of traditional curtain walls, and by adopting non-standard and non-planar geometric shapes, it makes the appearance of buildings present a diverse and three-dimensional visual effect. During the installation of irregularly shaped curtain walls, it is necessary to measure its shape, size, angle and other data, and install the frame according to the measurement results. The frame is the supporting structure of the irregularly shaped curtain wall, and its installation accuracy directly affects the overall effect of the curtain wall. Then, the glass is installed and the gaps are sealed after installation.
[0003] In existing technologies, the installation of irregularly shaped curtain walls generally adopts the following method: holes are drilled at the four corners of the curtain wall body, and clamps are used to clamp and position the adjacent four corner holes of four adjacent curtain walls to achieve the installation and fixation of the irregularly shaped curtain wall. However, this positioning and installation method has significant drawbacks when adapting to most curved irregularly shaped curtain walls: on the one hand, due to the curved surface characteristics of the curved curtain wall, it is difficult to achieve rapid and accurate positioning, and the contact angle between adjacent curtain walls needs to be repeatedly adjusted, which greatly increases the difficulty of on-site installation; on the other hand, the traditional fixing of irregularly shaped curtain walls mostly adopts bolt group tightening or welding process. Such methods require one-to-one hole calibration, step-by-step tightening or welding, which is cumbersome and time-consuming, not only extending the overall installation period of the curtain wall system, but also significantly increasing the labor cost. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide an irregularly shaped curtain wall that is easy to position and install, aiming to achieve rapid positioning and disassembly of single or multiple curtain wall panels, significantly shorten the overall installation period of the curtain wall system, and significantly reduce labor costs.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes an irregularly shaped curtain wall that is easy to position and install, comprising several curtain wall bodies and support members fixedly connected to the building base.

A limiting block is provided on one side of the stiffening block. Two locking posts are slidably connected to the limiting block, and the locking posts are locked and limited with the adjacent stiffening blocks.
[0006] In one possible implementation, the quick-connect mechanism further includes a locking block and a support column, wherein the locking block is slidably limited within a limiting block; The reinforcing bar block has symmetrical slots with the center point of the long side; The limiting block has a limiting groove, the locking post slides and abuts against the limiting groove, the two ends of the locking post are respectively limited and locked with the adjacent locking groove, and the cylindrical surface of the locking post inside the limiting block abuts against the locking block. One end of the support column is detachably and fixedly connected to the support member, and the other end of the support column is limited and snapped into the limiting block.
[0007] In one possible implementation, a stepped groove is provided in one side of the locking slot, and locking rings are fixedly connected to both ends of the locking post.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the locking post is provided on a retractable cylindrical surface between the reinforcing bar block and the limiting block.
[0009] In one possible implementation, a reinforcing sleeve is fitted onto the support column, the inner wall of the reinforcing sleeve is fitted to the outer wall of the limiting block, and a reinforcing groove is provided on the outer wall of the reinforcing sleeve to enhance the limiting effect on the locking column. An adjusting column is rotatably connected to the reinforcing sleeve, and the adjusting column is threadedly connected to the support member.
[0010] In one possible implementation, a slot plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the reinforcing sleeve, and a slot is provided on the rib block.

[0017] The realization of the objective, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0019] This invention proposes an irregularly shaped curtain wall that is easy to position and install.
[0020] Example 1 Reference Figures 1 to 3 It includes several curtain wall bodies 1 and support members 2 that are fixedly connected to the building base. A quick-connect mechanism is connected between the curtain wall bodies 1 and the support members 2 to enable quick assembly and disassembly of a single curtain wall body 1.
[0021] This quick-connect mechanism employs a symmetrically arranged rib blocks 31, which are fixed at equal intervals to both sides of the curtain wall body 1. Using the rib blocks 31 as a positioning reference, it enables rapid positioning and disassembly of the curtain wall body 1. During installation, once the limiting block 32 abuts against the sealing strip on the inner side of the curtain wall body 1, adjusting the relative distance between the locking post 33 and the locking part of the rib block 31 and the limiting block 32 achieves a secure locking effect on the curtain wall body 1. Compared to the traditional bolt or welding methods commonly used in the installation of irregularly shaped curtain walls, which require individual hole-to-hole tightening and step-by-step tightening, this solution, through the integrated design of the quick-connect mechanism, achieves rapid positioning and disassembly of single or multiple curtain wall body sections 1, significantly shortening the overall installation period of the curtain wall system and substantially reducing labor costs.
[0022] The equidistant fixing method of the stiffener block 31 to the two sides of the curtain wall body 1 provides a unified and precise positioning benchmark for the installation of the curtain wall body 1, which can strictly ensure the consistency of the spacing between adjacent curtain wall bodies 1 and improve the overall flatness and aesthetics of the curtain wall installation. In the later maintenance stage, the traditional fixing method is prone to damage to the surrounding structure when disassembling the damaged panel. However, this quick-connect mechanism can realize the non-destructive independent disassembly and assembly of a single curtain wall body 1 without disturbing the adjacent curtain wall panels, which greatly reduces the difficulty and cost of curtain wall maintenance. It is especially suitable for high-altitude maintenance operations of high-rise building curtain walls. Meanwhile, the symmetrical snap-fit design of the locking column 33 can form a bidirectional limiting effect. Compared with a single locking structure, it is more uniformly stressed and can effectively disperse the external forces such as wind pressure and seismic load borne by the adjacent curtain wall body 1 to the entire curtain wall system, thereby improving the overall structural strength and disaster resistance of the curtain wall. In addition, the fixed connection between the stiffener block 31 and the curtain wall body 1 can also enhance the structural rigidity of the side of the curtain wall body 1, avoid deformation of the curtain wall body 1 due to local stress concentration, and ensure the structural stability and safety of the curtain wall system for long-term use.
[0023] The structural design of this quick-connect mechanism achieves multiple technical benefits: the angle between the side of the slot 311 and the long side of the reinforcing block 31 forms a mechanical anti-disengagement structure after the locking post 33 is engaged, preventing the locking post 33 from detaching from the slot 311 under external force, thus ensuring the continuity and stability of the clamping effect on the curtain wall body 1; the adjustment method of using bolts to drive the locking block 34 to move the locking post 33 along the limiting groove 321 allows for precise control of the clamping force of the reinforcing block 31, adapting to the installation requirements of curtain wall bodies 1 of different specifications, while effectively preventing component deformation due to excessive clamping force or curtain wall displacement caused by insufficient clamping force. The symmetrical arrangement of the support column 35, while strengthening the connection between the limiting block 32 and the support member 2 and improving the overall load-bearing capacity of the quick-connect mechanism, cleverly avoids interference with the adjustment and operation space of the locking block 34, simplifies the on-site construction process, and reduces the difficulty and time cost of manual adjustment. In addition, the sliding contact and engagement of the locking column 33 and the limiting groove 321, as well as the contact and transmission design between the locking block 34 and the locking column 33, optimize the force transmission path inside the mechanism, reduce local stress concentration, slow down the fatigue aging rate of components, extend the service life of the quick-connect mechanism, and further improve the installation reliability and long-term stability of the curtain wall system.
[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 3The quick-connect mechanism also includes a locking block 34 and a support column 35. The locking block 34 is slidably limited and assembled inside the limiting block 32. The rib block 31 has a locking groove 311 with its long side center point as the center of symmetry. The groove side of the locking groove 311 is set at an angle with the long side of the rib block 31. This angle structure can ensure that the locking column 33 forms an anti-disengagement constraint after being engaged in the locking groove 311, and ensure that the quick-connect component has a stable and reliable limiting and clamping effect on the curtain wall body 1. The limiting block 32 has a limiting groove 321 adapted to the locking post 33. The locking post 33 slides and abuts against the limiting groove 321, and its two ends are respectively limited and locked with the locking groove 311 of the adjacent rib block 31. The cylindrical surface of the locking post 33 located in the limiting block 32 abuts against the locking block 34. Through the guiding effect of the limiting groove 321, combined with the threaded adjustment structure, the relative distance between the locking block 34 and the limiting block 32 can be adjusted. For example, using a bolt drive, the bolt is rotatably connected to the locking block 34 and threadedly connected to the limiting block 32. Tightening the bolt drives the locking column 33 to slide along the limiting groove 321. When the locking column 33 slides along the limiting groove 321 towards the support member 2, it can generate a continuously increasing clamping force on both sides of the reinforcing bar block 31, thereby achieving a firm limit on the curtain wall body 1. One end of the support column 35 is detachably fixedly connected to the support member 2, and the other end is limited and locked to the limiting block 32, undertaking the connection and support function between the limiting block 32 and the support member 2. Preferably, two support columns 35 symmetrically distributed around the center of the limiting block 32 can be provided. This not only enhances the connection strength between the limiting block 32 and the support member 2, but also avoids the adjustment operation space of the locking block 34 through the symmetrical layout, making it easier for workers to accurately adjust the relative distance between the locking block 34 and the limiting block 32.
[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 2 By utilizing the pre-set stepped groove 312 on the reinforcing bar block 31, the locking ring 36 is fitted onto both ends of the locking column 33. Through the fitting of the stepped groove 312 and the locking ring 36, the contact area between the locking column 33 and the reinforcing bar block 31 is greatly increased, the force transmission path between the two is optimized, and the stress concentration problem caused by the small local contact area is avoided. This significantly improves the connection strength between the locking column 33 and the reinforcing bar block 31, and ensures the support stability of the limiting structure for the curtain wall body 1.
[0026] Meanwhile, the interlocking structure of the locking ring 36 and the stepped groove 312 can effectively limit the axial displacement of the locking column 33, preventing the locking column 33 from shifting or loosening under external force, and further enhancing the reliability of the limiting structure. This design does not require significant modifications to the main structure of the locking column 33 and the stiffener block 31, has strong structural compatibility and ease of assembly, reduces the difficulty of production and on-site installation, and shortens the construction cycle. In addition, the increased connection area can distribute the load borne by the locking column 33, slow down the fatigue aging rate of the components, extend the service life of the curtain wall limiting system, and reduce the frequency and cost of later maintenance. Moreover, the locking ring 36 can be made of different wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials than the locking column 33, which can improve the durability of the connection parts by utilizing the material properties and adapt to different usage environments.
[0027] Example 2 This embodiment improves the external features of the locking post 33; Reference Figure 2 The connecting column between the reinforcing bar block 31 and the limiting block 32 is designed as a telescopic and adjustable structure. Workers can adjust the telescopic amount of this column to precisely control the tightness of the limiting on one side of the curtain wall body 1, so that the constraint force of the limiting block 32 on the locking column 33 is adapted to the installation conditions of the curtain wall body 1. This optimizes the stress distribution among the various components of the curtain wall, avoids the risk of curtain wall displacement caused by excessively loose limiting or the problem of local stress concentration caused by excessively tight limiting, and significantly improves the connection strength and structural reliability of the overall curtain wall.
[0028] This telescopic and adjustable design has good adaptability, which can be compatible with the installation requirements of curtain wall bodies 1 of different specifications. When the curtain wall system is deformed by factors such as temperature changes and external vibrations, the deformation stress can be offset by the telescopic adjustment of the column surface, reducing the probability of structural cracking or connection failure. At the same time, the telescopic adjustment operation only requires special tools, such as wrenches, which simplifies the operation process of on-site construction and subsequent maintenance, reduces labor costs, and the adjusted column surface structure can form a stable support force, further enhancing the connection rigidity of the stiffener block 31 and the limiting block 32, ensuring the stability and safety of the curtain wall system during long-term use.
[0029] Example 3 This embodiment is an improvement upon embodiment 1; Reference Figures 2 to 3By adding the reinforcing sleeve 41, the limiting block 32 can further enhance the limiting constraint effect on the locking column 33. When the locking column 33 slides to one side under the action of external force and forms a tension limit on the curtain wall body 1, the reinforcing sleeve 41 can move towards the locking column 33 simultaneously. Through its own reinforcing groove 42 and the limiting groove 321 on the limiting block 32, a double-fitting limiting structure is formed, which can accurately lock the locking column 33, thereby limiting the subsequent displacement of the locking column 33, greatly improving the structural stability of the curtain wall body 1 after installation, and avoiding problems such as reduced installation accuracy and stress imbalance caused by loosening or displacement of the locking column 33.
[0030] Meanwhile, the mating structure of the reinforcing sleeve 41 and the limiting groove 321 can disperse the tensile force borne by the locking column 33, reduce stress concentration at the contact point between the limiting block 32 and the locking column 33, delay the fatigue deformation of the components, and extend the service life of the limiting structure. This dual limiting design can also improve the impact and vibration resistance of the curtain wall system. Even under the action of external wind pressure, vibration and other loads, it can effectively prevent the locking column 33 from loosening or shifting, ensuring the long-term stability of the installation state of the curtain wall body 1. In addition, the addition of the reinforcing sleeve 41 does not require major modifications to the original structure of the limiting block 32 and the locking column 33. It has good compatibility and ease of assembly, which can reduce the modification cost of production and construction, and facilitate the later maintenance and component replacement.
[0031] Reference Figures 2 to 3 Through the precise docking of the slot plate 44 and the slot 45, on the one hand, the reinforcing sleeve 41 can be constrained, and the fixing and limiting effect of the reinforcing sleeve 41 on the positioning column 33 can be strengthened, so as to prevent the positioning column 33 from shifting or loosening when subjected to external force. On the other hand, the docking structure can effectively increase the contact area between the reinforcing sleeve 41 and the stiffener block 31. With the help of the structural support characteristics of the stiffener block 31, the deformation and misalignment force borne by the positioning column 33 can be evenly distributed to the stiffener block 31, thereby optimizing the force transmission path of the curtain wall body 1, reducing local stress concentration, and thus significantly improving the structural stability and deformation resistance of the curtain wall body 1, ensuring its overall structural reliability under long-term use or external load.
[0032] The interlocking connection structure of the slot plate 44 and the slot 45 can form a structural reinforcement barrier, enhancing the impact resistance of the connection between the reinforcing sleeve 41 and the stiffener block 31, and reducing the impact of external vibration or collision on the limiting structure of the locking column 33. Moreover, this docking method does not require additional complex fixing components, which simplifies the assembly process, reduces structural interference caused by redundant parts, and improves the assembly accuracy and overall compactness of the curtain wall components. In addition, the uniform distribution of force can slow down the fatigue aging rate of components such as the locking column 33 and the reinforcing sleeve 41, extend the service life of the curtain wall system, and reduce the frequency and cost of later maintenance.
[0033] Example 4 This embodiment is an improvement upon embodiment 1; Reference Figures 1 to 2 The buffer pad 51 is fixedly installed between the stiffener block 31 and the curtain wall body 1.
[0034] The buffer pad 51 can act as a force transmission intermediary between the curtain wall body 1 and the stiffener block 31. When the curtain wall body 1 is subjected to external loads, the buffer pad 51 can evenly transmit the force to the stiffener block 31. The structural bearing characteristics of the stiffener block 31 can effectively buffer the force, preventing the curtain wall body 1 from deforming or breaking due to local stress concentration. At the same time, the filling effect of the buffer pad 51 can eliminate the gap between the curtain wall body 1 and the stiffener block 31. The inner wall of the curtain wall body 1 is not flat but curved. Therefore, adding the buffer pad 51 makes the fit between the two more stable and tight, improves the overall connection stiffness of the curtain wall structure, reduces the risk of vibration or displacement caused by loose fit, and ensures the structural stability and safety of the curtain wall system during long-term use.
[0035] Furthermore, the buffer pad 51 can form a flexible contact layer between the curtain wall body 1 and the stiffener block 31, avoiding wear or stress cracking of the contact surface caused by rigid contact, and extending the service life of the curtain wall body 1 and the stiffener block 31. Moreover, the buffer pad 51 can be made of materials with different elastic moduli according to actual working conditions, adapting to the buffering and vibration reduction requirements under different load conditions, and enhancing the environmental adaptability of the curtain wall system. At the same time, its flexible buffering characteristics can also effectively block the transmission of structural thermal expansion and contraction stress caused by external temperature changes, reduce the probability of connection structure failure caused by thermal deformation, and further improve the overall durability and reliability of the curtain wall.
[0036] Example 5 This embodiment is an improvement upon embodiment 4; Reference Figure 1 The buffer pad 51 has longitudinally arranged adsorption structures 52 at both ends, such as magnetic suction components or vacuum suction cups.
[0037] Based on the fixed connection between the buffer pad 51 and the curtain wall body 1, the connection between the two ends of the buffer pad 51 and the curtain wall body 1 is changed to an adsorption connection, which makes it easier for workers to install, position or separate the buffer pad 51 from the curtain wall body 1. When either the buffer pad 51 or the curtain wall body 1 is damaged, the good part can be peeled off and then installed with another replaced curtain wall body 1 or buffer pad 51, thereby reducing replacement costs.
