[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model provides a glass curtain wall structure supported by a beam-free plate seam, comprising: a column 1, a base 2, a frame bar 3, and a curtain wall glass 4.

[0027] In this embodiment, there are multiple columns 1. The multiple columns 1 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the building structure. Multiple slots are provided on the outer side of the columns 1 facing away from the building structure. The multiple slots are spaced apart along the vertical direction.

[0028] The base 2 is inserted into the slot. In this embodiment, the column is a box column. Figure 3 As shown, a supporting plate 21 is formed on the outer side of the base 2. Two ends of the supporting plate 21 extend to opposite sides of the column 1 respectively.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, a reinforcement rib 22 is connected between the supporting plate 21 and the base 2 .

[0030] The frame strip 3 is installed on the outside of the column 1. The frame strip 3 is arranged between two upper and lower adjacent supporting plates 21. Slots are formed on opposite sides of the frame strip 3.

[0031] The side of the curtain wall glass 4 is inserted into the slot. The supporting plate 21 is supported on the bottom of the curtain wall glass 4. The gap between the two adjacent curtain wall glasses 4 is filled with sealant 42. The sealant 42 is coated on the supporting plate 21.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the column 1 has a first locking hole extending through the slot. The base 2 has a second locking hole. The second locking hole is connected to the first locking hole. Locking rods 24 extend through the first and second locking holes. The ends of the locking rods 24 extend to the exterior of the column 1 on opposite sides. Locking members 23 are mounted on the end plates of the locking rods 24. The locking members 23 abut against the sides of the column 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, the locking bar is a pig nose bolt.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, a rubber strip 41 is provided between the side of the curtain wall glass 4 and the groove wall of the slot. Specifically, the rubber strip is an EPDM rubber strip.

[0035] See Figure 2 As shown, the frame strip 3 includes a base plate 31 and a pressing plate 32 .

[0036] The base plate 31 is an aluminum alloy plate. The base plate is in a strip shape. The base plate is attached to the outside of the column 1 and is fixed to the outside of the column by bolts. A support plate 33 is formed in the middle of the base plate 31.

[0037] The pressing plate 32 is detachably mounted on the supporting plate 33 by bolts. Slots are formed between opposite sides of the pressing plate 32 and opposite sides of the base plate 31.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment, the frame strip 3 further includes a buckle cover 34 disposed opposite to the pressing plate 32. Elastic clamping plates 35 are formed on opposite sides of the buckle cover 34. The two elastic clamping plates are clamped on opposite sides of the pressing plate 32.

[0039] The box-type column is a welded composite column, which is welded from steel plates into a box body and has a fluorocarbon spray-coated surface. There is a square slot on the box-type column, and the slot is large enough to fit the base. When the base is in place according to the design requirements and reaches the designated position, it is connected by tightening the pig nose bolts passing through the box-type column and the base. The load-bearing structure of the glass curtain wall structure is installed and is ready for subsequent installation processes.

[0040] The frame strips and box-type columns are combined into a single component, serving as the vertical load-bearing system for the curtain wall keel. EPDM rubber strips are inserted into the slots in the frame strips, and glass spacers are placed on the support plate. After completing these steps, the curtain wall glass is hoisted to the designated location for installation. During installation, the curtain wall glass is placed on the support plate with the glass spacers, and the aluminum alloy pressure plate is then pressed and tightened with the connecting bolts to complete the connection. Finally, the aluminum alloy decorative buckle cover is installed, which connects to the aluminum alloy pressure plate via the bayonet provided on the profile.

[0041] The weight of the curtain wall glass is borne by the support plate, which, through its connection to the base, transfers the weight of the glass curtain wall to the box-shaped columns. Wind pressure perpendicular to the glass surface is provided by the compression force of the aluminum alloy pressure plate, which is connected to the force box-shaped columns via connecting bolts and ultimately transfers the force perpendicular to the curtain wall glass surface to the box-shaped columns.

[0042] The characteristic of the beam-free plate seam-supported glass curtain wall structure of the utility model is that it saves the horizontal keels of the curtain wall, and through the special setting of the supporting plate, the gravity of the glass is transferred to the vertical keels of the curtain wall, thereby improving the appearance of the curtain wall, and the stress state is good, safe and stable. It is suitable for curtain wall projects with high requirements for the transparency of the glass curtain wall field of view, and is an innovation in the stress system of the glass curtain wall.

[0043] Before the entire curtain wall structure is installed, the box-type columns are welded in the factory according to the requirements of the drawings to ensure that the welding meets the predetermined tolerance requirements.

[0044] Slots are provided on the outside of the box columns to facilitate the installation of the base. The base can slide within the curtain wall box columns within a certain range. The base's position is determined based on on-site measurement data. Once it is slid to the designated position, it is tightened using positioning pig-nose bolts. The base is connected to the support plate. The support plate is 12mm thick and is installed in the adhesive joint between the upper and lower curtain wall glass panels, ensuring the ability to adjust and absorb structural deviations during installation.

[0045] According to the installation drawings, mark the installation points on the columns. Based on these points, lay out the installation alignment lines to ensure the accurate positioning of the base and support plate. Once adjustments are complete, the curtain wall glass is hoisted into place. Once the curtain wall glass is in place, tighten the vertical pressure plates and decorative buckle covers to compress the sides of the curtain wall glass. Finally, apply transparent weather-resistant sealant between the upper and lower glass panels to complete the installation of the entire structure.

[0046] The glass curtain wall's mullions are box-shaped columns with a hollow interior. A slot is provided on the front of the column, allowing the base to be inserted into the cavity. The column is coated with a fluorocarbon spray finish, which is applied in the factory. During the spraying process, care must be taken to ensure that the ambient temperature and humidity in the factory meet the coating's technical requirements.

[0047] The base is machined from a single piece of steel, a material readily available and easy to process. A second locking hole is provided on the base to facilitate on-site installation. Once the base reaches the designated location, it is secured with pig-nose bolts.

[0048] The supporting plate is connected to the base by welding. The supporting plate is made of 12mm thick steel plate and is cut according to the drawing to ensure its strength and shape and position tolerance.

[0049] The weight of the curtain wall glass is borne by a goose-wing-shaped support plate, while the wind pressure resistance of the curtain wall glass is achieved by vertical pressure plates and decorative buckles, which press the curtain wall glass against the box-shaped columns. The support plate is placed between the two vertical curtain wall glass panels. After installation, a transparent weather-resistant sealant is applied between the curtain wall glass panels, and the pressure plates and decorative buckles are finally installed to complete the entire glass curtain wall structure.

[0050] This utility model's beam-free, plate-joint-supported glass curtain wall structure utilizes a base and a supporting plate connected to the base within a box-shaped steel column to transfer the force of the glass's gravity to the box-shaped steel column, thereby achieving a frameless glass curtain wall design. This frameless design significantly expands the effect and visual field of the glass curtain wall. The beam-free, plate-joint-supported glass curtain wall structure of this utility model is easy to install, with clear material savings. It eliminates the need for a frame installation environment during construction, improves labor productivity, and offers a unique and beautiful appearance and excellent visual field.

[0051] The glass curtain wall structure supported by the utility model without crossbeams and plate seams provides more choices for the decoration of building exterior walls.

[0052] The glass curtain wall structure supported by the beam-free plate seam of the present invention also has the advantages of wide applicability, easy installation, and reduced installation costs on site.

[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and an illustration of the technical principles employed.
