Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of building testing equipment, in particular to an on-site testing device for the bearing capacity of a stone curtain wall. Background Art
[0002] Stone curtain walls, a key element in modern architectural design, are widely used for their aesthetics, durability, and decorative qualities. However, over time and under the influence of environmental factors, stone curtain walls may pose safety hazards due to design flaws, improper installation, or material aging. These hazards, in particular, include the risk of partial or complete detachment, posing a serious threat to public safety. Traditional testing methods typically involve on-site sampling and laboratory analysis, including inspections of the stone, keel specifications, installation quality, and connection strength. These tests are not only costly but also require disassembly and laboratory testing of samples. This cumbersome process can miss potential issues, making comprehensive non-destructive testing impossible and hindering the efficient identification of all safety hazards.
[0003] Deficiencies of existing technology:
[0004] 1. High cost and high resource consumption: Traditional stone curtain wall testing requires physical disassembly of samples and sending them to the laboratory for strength testing. This process involves high material costs, labor costs and time costs, and disassembly and restoration add additional costs.
[0005] 2. Limited detection coverage: The nature of sampling inspection determines that it can only reflect the situation of the inspected part, cannot guarantee the safety of all areas, has the risk of "missed inspection", and cannot comprehensively evaluate the stability of the entire curtain wall system.
[0006] 3. Destructive testing: Laboratory testing often requires the destruction of samples, which runs counter to the current trend of non-destructive testing and affects the integrity of the building and its subsequent normal use.
[0007] 4. Complex and inefficient operations: The multi-step process from sample selection to laboratory analysis is complex and time-consuming, which reduces detection efficiency and is not conducive to rapid response and handling of potential risks.
[0008] Therefore, the existing technology has deficiencies and needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0060] With the development of the economy, building curtain walls have been widely used in architecture. Stone curtain walls are a type of building curtain wall. Stone panels are connected to metal keels through metal hangers and then fixed to the outside of the main structure of the building to form the facade of the building. They are beautiful, rich in shape, and not easy to deform. They are used in both residential and public buildings.
[0061] Due to improper design and installation, as well as aging materials, stone curtain walls may experience partial or complete detachment, posing a significant threat to the safety of people's lives and property. Therefore, testing stone curtain walls and promptly identifying potential safety hazards will significantly reduce the probability of accidents and contribute to urban safety.
[0062] For on-site inspection of stone curtain walls, it is generally on-site sampling inspection. The main contents of the inspection are on-site inspection and sampling laboratory inspection. The on-site inspection includes: the specifications of stone and keel, the installation of stone, the keel itself and the connection with the main structure; the laboratory inspection includes: stone bending strength test, hanging strength test. The above tests are generally sampling demolition inspections. The demolition and restoration costs are high, and there are loopholes in sampling inspections, and it is impossible to fully find out all the hidden dangers of stone curtain walls.
[0063] The utility model aims to provide a stone curtain wall bearing capacity on-site testing device to solve the problems of high testing cost and difficulty in full coverage in existing testing methods.
[0064] A stone curtain wall bearing capacity on-site testing device mainly consists of:
[0065] It consists of a fixed suction cup 4, a loading suction cup 1, a reaction frame, a dynamometer 2, and an electric pull rod 3. When in use, two fixed suction cups 4 are adsorbed on two adjacent stones of the stone panel to be tested to form a reaction frame, and the loading suction cup 1 is adsorbed on the stone panel to be tested. The electric pull rod 3 is controlled by the remote control 5 to load the force value. The camera 6 can monitor the changes in the display value of the dynamometer 2 in real time, and then complete the specific force value test remotely.
[0066] Compared with existing testing methods, the present invention has the following advantages: it solves the problems of high testing costs and difficulty in achieving full coverage. It provides an on-site testing device for the bearing capacity of stone curtain walls. This device does not require the removal of stone panels, is convenient for testing, and has a wide range of applications. It can fully cover the on-site bearing capacity of stone, thereby minimizing the probability of stone curtain wall accidents.
[0067] 1. Test force calculation, test loading is divided into three stages:
[0068] 1) Standard value of wind load
[0069] ωk=βgz·μs1·μz·ω0
[0070] The first stage loading force F1=ωk·S
[0071] Wind load standard value = gust coefficient × local shape coefficient × height coefficient × basic wind pressure (calculated according to the Code for Loads on Building Structures GB50009-2012)
[0072] S is the area of stone panel
[0073] 2) Wind load design value (excluding earthquake load)
[0074] The second stage loading force F2=1.5·F1
[0075] 3) Wind load design value (superposition of wind load and earthquake load)
[0076] The third stage loading force F3=(1.5·ωk+1.4·0.5·qek)·S
[0077] Standard value of earthquake load q ek =5·α max ·q gk (Calculated according to the Code for Seismic Design of Buildings GB50011-2010 (2016 Edition))
[0078] The duration of each stage is initially set at 30 seconds.
[0079] 2. Adjustment of the spacing between the fixed suction cups 4. The reaction frame is connected by aluminum alloy profiles, and the fixed position of the beam 7 and the support column can be adjusted, and the spacing between the fixed suction cups 4 can be adjusted to adapt to stone curtain walls of different sizes.
[0080] 3. Clean the surface of the stone and the suction cup. Use a rag to clean the dust, sealant and other debris on the surface of the stone and the suction cup.
[0081] 4. Set up protective measures, set up a fence under the test area and connect the test device to the aerial vehicle with a safety rope.
[0082] 5. After the test device is fixed, two workers take a high-altitude vehicle to complete the adsorption of two fixed suction cups 4 and one loading suction cup 1 to the stone curtain wall in turn.
[0083] 6. Complete the force loading by directly observing the value indicated by the dynamometer 2 or the video of the value indicated by the dynamometer 2 transmitted remotely by the camera 6, and use the remote control 5 to control the electric pull rod 3 to complete the specific force loading.
[0084] 7. Check the damage of the stone and check the damage and looseness of the stone through visual inspection and manual test.
[0085] The principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0086] Device Assembly and Layout: First, the test platform was constructed using a reaction frame made of aluminum alloy profiles. The reaction frame consists of a crossbeam 7 and support columns 8. Both the crossbeam 7 and the support columns utilize a double-rod, side-by-side design to enhance structural stability and load-bearing capacity. The support columns can be adjusted relative to the crossbeam 7 to accommodate stone curtain wall widths of varying widths. Fixed suction cups 4 are located on both sides of the reaction frame to securely attach to the stone curtain wall, forming a reliable reverse support foundation.
[0087] Test Preparation: After ensuring the stone and suction cup surfaces are clean and free of debris, the operator uses aerial work equipment to attach two fixed suction cups 4 to adjacent stones on either side of the stone curtain wall to be tested, creating a stable reaction force frame. Next, the loading suction cup 1 is attached to the target stone surface.
[0088] Remote Control and Monitoring: Remote control 5 controls the electric pull rod 3, which is connected to a force gauge 2, the other end of which is connected to a loading suction cup 1. Operators can gradually increase the tension on the stone curtain wall in stages according to a pre-set test plan. An onboard camera 6 monitors the changes in the force gauge 2's reading in real time and provides feedback to the remote operator, enabling precise control of the loading process.
[0089] Force loading and test implementation: The test is carried out according to the predetermined force calculation formula, and is divided into three stages to simulate different levels of load conditions (standard wind load value, design wind load value without considering earthquakes, and design wind load value considering earthquake superposition). Each stage of loading lasts for a certain time (such as 30 seconds) to comprehensively evaluate the bearing capacity of the stone curtain wall under different loads.
[0090] Data Analysis and Safety Check: After loading is complete, the stone surface is observed for damage or looseness, and combined with the maximum load-bearing capacity recorded by dynamometer 2, the actual load-bearing capacity of the stone curtain wall is evaluated. Throughout the test, adjustments to the device structure, remote control, and real-time video monitoring ensure efficient, safe, and accurate testing. This eliminates the need to remove the stone panels, enabling rapid on-site assessment of the curtain wall's load-bearing capacity.
[0091] In summary, the utility model simplifies the testing process of the bearing capacity of stone curtain walls through an integrated and intelligent on-site testing device, improves the efficiency and accuracy of the test, and significantly reduces the test cost, providing an innovative technical means for the safety assessment of stone curtain walls.
[0092] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the practical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
