[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a windproof support mechanism for glass curtain walls, including a support frame. A slot is formed on one side wall of the support frame, and an installation slot is formed on the side wall of the support frame away from the slot. A glass curtain wall is installed within the installation slot, and a fixing frame is installed within the installation slot. A connecting frame is provided at the end of the fixing frame closest to the glass curtain wall. A second sealing gasket is installed on the side wall of the connecting frame closest to the glass curtain wall. Several sets of movable slots are formed in a rectangular array on the side wall of the fixing frame closest to the connecting frame. Several sets of movable columns are installed in a rectangular array on the side wall of the connecting frame closest to the fixing frame. Several sets of springs are installed between the fixing frame and the connecting frame.

[0006] Furthermore, the fixed frame is located at the end of the glass curtain wall away from the empty groove, and the second sealing gasket slides against the edge of the side wall of the glass curtain wall away from the connecting frame. The end of each set of movable columns away from the connecting frame slides in one set of movable grooves.

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting groove is connected to the empty groove, and a first sealing gasket is provided in the mounting groove. The first sealing gasket is installed on the inner wall of the support frame near the empty groove, and the edge of one side wall of the glass curtain wall is slidably attached to the side wall of the first sealing gasket away from the empty groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the support frame has several sets of fixing slots arranged in a rectangular array on one side wall near the mounting slot, and each set of fixing slots is connected to the mounting slot. The support frame also has several sets of threaded holes arranged in a rectangular array, and each set of threaded holes is connected to one of the fixing slots.

[0009] Furthermore, a first locking block is installed on the top of the support frame, a first locking groove is opened at the bottom of the support frame, a second locking groove is opened on one side wall of the support frame, and a second locking block is installed on the side wall of the support frame away from the second locking groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixed frame is equipped with several sets of fixed blocks in a rectangular array, each set of fixed blocks is movably engaged in one of the fixed slots, and each set of fixed blocks has a storage slot on the side wall away from the empty slot.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the fixed blocks has a set of through holes on the side wall away from the storage groove, and the through holes are connected to the storage groove.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. When strong winds blow towards the glass curtain wall, the wind pressure will act directly on the glass. At this time, the movable column can slide in the movable groove. With the help of the spring, it can absorb part of the impact force caused by the wind pressure and convert this force into a slight displacement between the connecting frame and the fixed frame. This avoids putting too much pressure on the glass curtain wall directly and reduces the risk of cracking.

[0015] 2. When the glass curtain wall is installed in the support frame, the first sealing gasket will fit tightly against one edge of the glass curtain wall, while the second sealing gasket will fit against the other edge. These two sealing measures effectively prevent external factors such as wind and rain from entering the room through the gaps, while reducing energy loss caused by air infiltration.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] This utility model embodiment provides a windproof support mechanism for a glass curtain wall, including a support frame 1, exemplarily, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a slot 2 is provided on one side wall of the support frame 1, and an installation slot 3 is provided on the side wall of the support frame 1 away from the slot 2. The installation slot 3 communicates with the slot 2. A first sealing gasket 4 is provided in the installation slot 3. The first sealing gasket 4 is installed on the inner wall of the support frame 1 near the slot 2. Several sets of fixing slots 5 are provided in a rectangular array on the side wall of the support frame 1 near the installation slot 3. Each set of fixing slots 5 communicates with the installation slot 3. Several sets of threaded holes 6 are provided in a rectangular array inside the support frame 1. Each set of threaded holes 6 communicates with one set of fixing slots 5. A glass curtain wall 7 is provided in the installation slot 3. The edge of one side wall of the glass curtain wall 7 slides against the side wall of the first sealing gasket 4 away from the slot 2. A first locking block 18 is installed on the top of the support frame 1. A first locking groove 19 is provided on the bottom of the support frame 1. A second locking groove 20 is provided on one side wall of the support frame 1. A second locking block 21 is installed on the side wall of the support frame 1 away from the second locking groove 20.

[0025] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a fixing frame 8 is provided in the mounting groove 3. The fixing frame 8 is located at the end of the glass curtain wall 7 away from the empty groove 2. A connecting frame 9 is provided at the end of the fixing frame 8 near the glass curtain wall 7. A second sealing gasket 10 is installed on the side wall of the connecting frame 9 near the glass curtain wall 7. The side wall of the second sealing gasket 10 away from the connecting frame 9 slides against the edge of the side wall of the glass curtain wall 7. Several sets of moving grooves 11 are formed in a rectangular array on the side wall of the fixing frame 8 near the connecting frame 9. Several sets of moving columns 12 are installed in a rectangular array on the side wall of the connecting frame 9 near the fixing frame 8. The end of each set of moving columns 12 away from the connecting frame 9 slides in one set of moving grooves 11. Within 1, several sets of springs 13 are installed between the fixed frame 8 and the connecting frame 9. Several sets of fixing blocks 14 are installed in a rectangular array on the fixed frame 8. Each set of fixing blocks 14 is movably engaged in one set of fixing slots 5. Each set of fixing blocks 14 has a set of storage slots 15 on the side wall away from the empty slot 2. Each set of fixing blocks 14 has a set of through holes 16 on the side wall away from the storage slots 15. The through holes 16 communicate with the storage slots 15. Each set of fixing blocks 14 has a set of screws 17 at the end away from the empty slot 2. The output end of each set of screws 17 passes through one set of storage slots 15 and through holes 16 in sequence and is then connected to one set of threaded holes 6.

[0026] Working principle: Place the glass curtain wall 7 in the mounting groove 3, with one side edge of the glass curtain wall 7 attached to the first sealing gasket 4. Then place the fixing frame 8 in the mounting groove 3, with the side wall of the second sealing gasket 10 away from the connecting frame 9 attached to the side edge of the glass curtain wall 7 away from the first sealing gasket 4. While the fixing frame 8 is placed in the mounting groove 3, the fixing block 14 is movably engaged in the fixing groove 5. After rotating the screw 17 through the storage groove 15 and the through hole 16, it is threaded into the threaded hole 6. The installation is completed, and several sets of support frames 1 can be spliced ​​together.

[0027] The first sealing gasket 4 and the second sealing gasket 10 are respectively installed at the contact points between the support frame 1 and the connecting frame 9 and the glass curtain wall 7. When the glass curtain wall 7 is installed into the support frame 1, the first sealing gasket 4 will fit tightly against one edge of the glass curtain wall 7, while the second sealing gasket 10 will fit against the other edge. These two sealing measures effectively prevent external factors such as wind and rain from entering the room through the gaps, while reducing energy loss caused by air infiltration.

[0028] The fixed frame 8 and the connecting frame 9 are connected by several sets of springs 13. The springs 13 provide the necessary elasticity, so that the glass curtain wall 7 can have a certain amount of room to move when encountering strong winds or other external forces, instead of rigidly bearing all the pressure. This helps to absorb some of the vibration energy, reduce the impact on the glass curtain wall 7 and the supporting structure, and thus protect the safety and integrity of the building.

[0029] The fixing frame 8 can be securely fixed to the support frame 1 via the fixing groove 5, threaded hole 6, and screw 17. This not only ensures the stability of the entire system but also allows for fine adjustments during installation to ensure the correct positioning of the glass curtain wall 7. Furthermore, it facilitates disassembly and maintenance when necessary.

[0030] When strong winds blow towards the glass curtain wall 7, the wind pressure will act directly on the glass. At this time, the movable column 12 can slide in the movable groove 11. With the help of the spring 13, it can absorb part of the impact force caused by the wind pressure and convert this force into a slight displacement between the connecting frame 9 and the fixed frame 8, thereby avoiding excessive pressure on the glass curtain wall 7 and reducing the risk of cracking.

[0031] When the glass curtain wall 7 is installed inside the support frame 1, the first sealing gasket 4 will fit tightly against one edge of the glass curtain wall 7, while the second sealing gasket 10 will fit against the other edge. These two sealing measures effectively prevent external factors such as wind and rain from entering the room through the gaps, while reducing energy loss caused by air infiltration.

[0032] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
