Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of building curtain walls and relates to a frame type glass curtain wall installation node and a frame type glass curtain wall system. Background Art

[0002] As architectural effects pursue the effect of oversized and transparent glass, the glass panels of framed glass curtain walls are getting larger and larger, and the glass thickness is very thick, so the single glass panel is getting heavier and heavier. Conventional aluminum alloy supports have an L-shaped structure. When in use, they will transfer the weight of the glass panel to the aluminum alloy beam, which can easily cause the aluminum alloy beam to twist forward. It can even cause the screw connection of the beam to fail due to the excessive weight of the glass panel, resulting in a safety accident. On the one hand, the mold making cost of aluminum alloy supports with separate molds is too high. On the other hand, due to factors such as different curtain wall systems and different glass panel thicknesses, there are too many types of aluminum alloy support molds, resulting in a high installation error rate on the construction site, slow construction progress, and low construction efficiency. In view of this, it is necessary to improve the glass panel support structure in framed glass curtain walls. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, the present invention provides a frame-type glass curtain wall mounting node that utilizes cross- or T-shaped steel brackets to transfer the weight of the glass panels directly to the curtain wall columns. This allows the crossbeams to bear only horizontal wind pressure without bearing the weight of the glass panels, preventing forward twisting of the crossbeams and thereby ensuring effective and safe curtain wall installation. Furthermore, the present invention provides a frame-type glass curtain wall system having the aforementioned frame-type glass curtain wall mounting node.

[0004] The utility model discloses a frame-type glass curtain wall installation node, which includes an aluminum alloy column, an aluminum alloy beam, a steel support and a glass panel; the steel support includes a vertical steel plate, a horizontal steel plate and a vertical reinforcing plate, the horizontal steel plate and the vertical reinforcing plate are vertically crossed and fixed to the vertical steel plate, and at least one end of the horizontal steel plate extends outward from the vertical steel plate, and screw holes are opened on the vertical steel plate; the aluminum alloy column and the aluminum alloy beam are milled with notches at the front ends so that after the two are fixedly connected, an installation groove that is adapted to the shape and size of the steel support is formed at the front ends of the aluminum alloy columns; the steel support is fixed in the installation groove by stainless steel pan head screws installed at the screw holes of the vertical steel plate, and is used for supporting the glass panel and transmitting the weight of the glass panel to the aluminum alloy column.

[0005] As an optional solution, the steel support is a cross-shaped structure or a T-shaped structure; when the steel support is a cross-shaped structure, the transverse steel plates are symmetrically distributed with the vertical reinforcement plate as the center line, and both ends extend outward from the vertical steel plates; when the steel support is a T-shaped structure, one end of the transverse steel plate extends outward from the vertical steel plate, and the other end is retracted into the vertical steel plate.

[0006] As an optional solution, the length of the outwardly extending portion of the transverse steel plate is 1 / 4-1 / 2 of the width of the vertical steel plate.

[0014] The utility model adopts the above technical solution and has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] (1) Use cross or T-shaped steel supports to take advantage of their bearing strength so that they can bear the weight of the glass panel, thereby ensuring the construction quality of the connection between the beam and the column and avoiding installation deviation caused by the flipping of the beam.

[0016] (2) The steel supports directly bear the weight of the glass panels and transmit the force to the columns.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solution of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, if terms such as "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," "left," "right," "top," and "bottom" appear to indicate orientation or positional relationships, these are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely to facilitate the description of the utility model and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model. The terms "including" and "having," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions and may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to these products or devices. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model in light of the specific circumstances.

[0031] Combine Figures 1 to 2As shown, Example 1 discloses a frame-type glass curtain wall installation node using a cross steel support. The cross steel support includes a vertical steel plate 103-1, a transverse steel plate 103-2, and a vertical reinforcing plate 103-3. The transverse steel plate 103-2 and the vertical reinforcing plate 103-3 are fixed to the vertical steel plate 103-1 in a cross shape by welding. Specifically, the length of the transverse steel plate 103-2 is greater than the width of the vertical steel plate 103-1. The transverse steel plates 103-2 are symmetrically arranged so that both left and right ends extend outward from the vertical steel plate 103-1. Typically, the length of the outward extension is 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 of the width of the vertical steel plate 103-1. The length of the vertical reinforcing plate 103-3 is equal to the length of the vertical steel plate 103-1, but this is not specifically limited in the present invention. Two pairs of screw holes are symmetrically opened on the vertical steel plate 103-1 with the vertical reinforcement plate 103-3 as the center line, for installing stainless steel pan head screws 103-4.

[0032] To accommodate the installation of the cross steel bracket, a portion of the structure is milled off the front end of aluminum alloy column 101 to form a notch that matches the size of vertical steel plate 103-1. A portion of the structure is also milled off the front end of aluminum alloy crossbeam 102 to form a notch that matches the size of the portion of transverse steel plate 103-2 that extends from vertical steel plate 103-1. Overall, the two form a cross-shaped mounting slot to facilitate the installation of the cross steel bracket. During installation, the cross steel bracket is placed into the cross-shaped mounting slot and secured to aluminum alloy column 101 using stainless steel pan head screws 103-4 installed in the screw holes.

[0033] Cross steel brackets can be applied to frame-type glass curtain wall systems of horizontally visible and vertically concealed types, fully visible frame types, and vertically visible and horizontally concealed types. For details, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 .

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, taking the horizontally visible and vertically concealed frame glass curtain wall system as an example, the corresponding frame glass curtain wall installation nodes mainly include aluminum alloy columns 101, aluminum alloy beams 102, cross steel supports 103, aluminum alloy horizontal buckle covers 104, glass panels 110, aluminum alloy angle brackets 114, aluminum alloy pressure plates 115 and other components.

[0035] The aluminum alloy cross beam 102 is fixed to the left and right sides of the aluminum alloy column 101 through the stainless steel bolt assembly 105 passing through the aluminum alloy angle bracket 114, so that the aluminum alloy cross beam 102 transfers the horizontal wind pressure to the aluminum alloy column 101, thereby preventing the aluminum alloy cross beam 102 from bearing the weight of the glass panel 100. Figure 2As shown, it is fixed to the front end of the aluminum alloy column 101 by stainless steel pan head screws 103-4. EPDM rubber strips 111 are inserted into the rubber strip installation grooves at the front ends of the aluminum alloy cross beam 102 and the aluminum alloy column 101. The end of the glass panel 110 falls directly on the horizontal steel plate 103-2 of the cross steel support, and the force is transmitted to the aluminum alloy column 101 through the stainless steel pan head screws 106, ensuring that the weight of the glass panel 110 does not pass through the aluminum alloy cross beam 102, thereby ensuring the installation quality of the aluminum alloy cross beam 102. The aluminum alloy pressure plate 115 presses the glass panel 110 through the EPDM rubber strips 111, and then the aluminum alloy cross buckle cover 104 is buckled onto the aluminum alloy pressure plate 115. EPDM rubber gaskets 107 are also provided between the cross steel support 103 and the aluminum alloy column 101 to avoid hard contact and friction noise between the two. The contact surface between the cross steel support 103 and the glass panel 110 is provided with an EPDM rubber pad 109 for buffering.

[0036] It can be understood that the installation method of the full-exposure frame type frame glass curtain wall system and the vertical-exposure and horizontal-hidden type frame glass curtain wall system is the same as that of the aluminum alloy column 101, the aluminum alloy beam 102 and the cross steel support 103. Figure 5 Basically the same, the main difference is the installation method of the buckle cover. Figure 6 As shown, the full-exposure frame type frame glass curtain wall system has an aluminum alloy horizontal buckle cover 104, an aluminum alloy vertical buckle cover 108 and an aluminum alloy pressure plate 115 respectively; Figure 7 As shown, the vertically visible and horizontally concealed frame-type glass curtain wall system uses an aluminum alloy vertical buckle cover 108, an aluminum alloy pressure plate 115, and an aluminum alloy glass subframe 113. The aluminum alloy glass subframe 113 is fixedly connected to the glass panel 110 via silicone structural adhesive 112. The above connection method is conventional in the art and will not be described in detail.

[0037] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Example 2 discloses a frame-type glass curtain wall installation node using a T-shaped steel bracket. The difference lies mainly in the structure of the steel bracket. The main difference between the T-shaped steel bracket and the cross steel bracket is that one side of the horizontal steel plate 103-2 is retracted into the vertical reinforcement plate 103-3, making the whole T-shaped. The T-shaped steel bracket is mainly suitable for single-sided glass panels, such as Figure 8 The framed glass curtain wall system shown is a single-sided glass panel with a fully visible frame.

[0038] In summary, the frame-type glass curtain wall installation node and frame-type glass curtain wall system provided by the present invention support the glass panel through the innovatively designed cross or T-shaped steel support. This not only improves the bearing strength of the glass panel supporting structure, but also enables the steel support to be made into standard parts, realizing factory-based and batch production and processing, thereby improving construction accuracy and construction efficiency, reducing labor costs, and better controlling construction quality.

[0039] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical concepts and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those familiar with the art to understand and implement the present invention accordingly. They are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any equivalent variations or modifications based on the spirit of the present invention are intended to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
