Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of curtain wall installation technology, and in particular to a suspended public column unit curtain wall system with a central column and an angled facade. Background Technology
[0002] The existing unitized curtain wall system (comprising a male column, a central column, and a female column forming an angled unit, with the three columns not on the same plane) is installed together via a track. Typically, each column and corner bracket are fixed with bolts. The corner brackets and hanging brackets interlock and are adjustable vertically using fastening screws. The hanging brackets (adjustable horizontally) are then connected to the load-bearing platform brackets (adjustable horizontally). The structural system provides clear force transmission and is safe and reliable. However, simultaneously suspending three columns on an angled facade, especially when there are significant deviations in the main structure, and simultaneously installing and fixing them to the platform brackets is extremely difficult. It requires pre-designing and adjusting for construction error dimensions (vertical, horizontal, and front-back). Therefore, adjusting the three installation positions during lifting is not only inefficient but may also be impossible if there are significant deviations in the main structure.
[0003] "The number of connection points between the panel and the main structure should not exceed three, and should not exceed four. Two of these connection points can be pre-positioned before installation, while the remaining connection points can be adjusted into position after installation." Therefore, adjusting the three points not only requires pre-designing the construction error dimensions, but the third point also needs to be installed and adjusted after the first two points are installed. This design is cumbersome, construction efficiency is low, and it greatly affects the installation of the curtain wall unit panels.
[0004] As attached Figure 1 As shown, this unit panel has three columns with three mounting points. Ideally, the structural height should be consistent, and the structural entry / exit angle should match the angle of the curtain wall facade, allowing for a one-time hoisting operation. If the elevations are different, the vertical height difference between the three mounting points needs to be adjusted (at least once). If the angles are different, the installation errors in the entry / exit direction and lateral direction need to be adjusted (at least once).
[0005] The male and female columns and the middle column have different stiffnesses, different spacing, and different surface materials. In the direction of gravity, the middle column has initial deformation and stress during the lifting process. After all three points are fixed, the initial stress cannot be eliminated, which is detrimental to the embedded parts.
[0006] Installing at three points requires pre-positioning two connection points and adjusting the third point after installation, which increases workload, labor costs, slows down construction progress, and reduces construction efficiency, which does not conform to the characteristics of rapid hoisting of unitized structures. Utility Model Content
[0007] This utility model provides a suspended public column unit curtain wall system with a central column and an angled facade, which solves the shortcomings of the existing technology, which requires two connection points to be pre-positioned and the third point to be adjusted after installation, resulting in increased workload, increased labor costs, slower construction progress, and lower construction efficiency, and does not meet the characteristics of rapid hoisting of unitized structures.
[0008] This utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0009] A suspended column unit curtain wall system with a central column and an angled facade includes a central column and a combined column that are fixedly connected to the wall, and a connecting piece is fixed between the central column and the combined column.
[0010] In one possible implementation, a groove-type embedded part is pre-embedded in the wall, and the groove-type embedded part is fixedly connected to the first platform bracket and the second platform bracket.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the combined column includes a first column and a second column, the first column is fixed with a first hanging lug, the first hanging lug is fixedly connected to a first base bracket, and the second column is fixedly connected to an adapter.
[0012] In one possible implementation, a second hook is fixed to the adapter and is fixedly connected to the second base bracket; a third hook is fixed to the central column and is fixedly connected to the second base bracket.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the first column has a slot, and the second column has an extension edge that fits into the slot, the extension edge being inserted into the slot.
[0014] In one possible implementation, the first hanging ear forms an angle α with the side of the first column, the angle of which is 15-25°, and the second and third hanging ears are located on the extended surfaces of the two sides of the central column, so that the first base bracket and the second base bracket form a certain angle.
[0015] The top of the combined column and the central column is fixed with a water trough, and a support strip is installed on the outside of the water trough, with a drip edge installed on the support strip.
[0016] In one possible implementation, an upper crossbeam is installed on the upper part of the water tank, a lower crossbeam is installed on the lower part of the water tank, and curtain wall glass is installed between the upper crossbeam, the lower crossbeam, the first column, and the middle column.
[0017] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are merely exemplary and do not limit the present invention.
[0018] This invention features only two installation points; the third hanging point is installed along with the central column hanging point, eliminating the effects of initial deformation and stress, reducing structural safety hazards. With only two hanging points, adjustments to construction errors in three directions can be made quickly, achieving an efficiency similar to that of standard unitized panels, significantly improving the installation efficiency of unitized surfaces. It conforms to the installation characteristics of unitized curtain walls, reducing the need for platform supports, lowering labor costs, improving construction efficiency, and achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

[0031] Reference Figures 2-6 A suspended column unit curtain wall system with a central column and an angled facade includes a central column 14 and a combined column fixedly connected to the wall. A connector 5 is fixed between the central column 14 and the combined column. The central column 14 and the combined column are one of the main supporting structures of the curtain wall system. They are fixedly connected to the wall, bear the main vertical load, and provide stability. The connector 5 is fixed between the central column 14 and the combined column, and plays a role in connection and force transmission, ensuring the stability and safety of the entire curtain wall system.
[0032] Specifically, the upper side of the adapter 5 protrudes from the central column 14 and the combined column to facilitate the connection with the second hanging ear 4 and the second platform bracket 1. The cross-sectional shape of the adapter 5 is a downward-facing convex shape, and the lower two sides are provided with extensions extending to the central column 14 and the combined column to ensure a stable connection between the adapter 5 and the central column 14 and the combined column. The two sides of the adapter 5 are fixedly connected by stainless steel bolt groups, and the connection positions are on both sides of the convex shape. The upper cross-sectional shape of the central column 14 and the combined column is rectangular, and the lower side is an outwardly expanding V-shaped shape to facilitate a stable connection between the upper side and the wall. The lower side is where the curtain wall glass 20 is installed.
[0033] Furthermore, a channel-type embedded part 2 is pre-embedded in the wall. This channel-type embedded part 2 is a commonly used pre-embedded connector in building and structural engineering, serving functions of fixing, supporting, and connecting. It is typically made of steel plate or shaped steel, with a channel-shaped cross-section, and can be used to fix steel components or connect concrete components. Common channel steel embedded parts include U-shaped and C-shaped channels. The channel-type embedded part 2 is fixedly connected to the first base bracket 6 and the second base bracket 1. The base bracket is an important component in the curtain wall system used to connect the channel-type embedded part 2 and the curtain wall unit. It typically consists of a positioning plate and hooks, with an L-shaped cross-section, uniform thickness, and positioning teeth on the upper and lower surfaces. One end of the base bracket is fixed to the channel-type embedded part 2 using fasteners such as T-bolts, while the other end is hooked to the hanging lug component of the curtain wall unit.
[0034] Specifically, two grooved embedded parts 2 are installed on the wall, and two bolts are fixed on each grooved embedded part 2.
[0035] Furthermore, the combined columns include a first column 8 and a second column 11. A first hanging lug 7 is fixed to the first column 8 and is fixedly connected to a first base bracket 6. The first hanging lug 7 is a component fixed to the first column 8 for connection with the first base bracket 6. The first hanging lug 7 and the first base bracket 6 are typically fixed together by bolts, pins, or other fasteners. This connection method ensures that the curtain wall unit can be firmly hung on the first column 8, while allowing for fine-tuning within a certain range to accommodate errors and deformations during installation. The second column 11 is fixedly connected to a transition piece 5, typically fixed by welding, bolting, or other reliable connection methods. The transition piece 5 is then connected to the middle column 14, forming an integrated support structure. The connection between the second column 11 and the transition piece 5 ensures the stability and load transmission performance between the combined columns and the middle column 14. This connection method can withstand various loads borne by the curtain wall system and effectively transfer the load to the main building structure.
[0036] Specifically, a first hanging ear 7 is fixed to the right side of the first column 8. The first hanging ear 7 includes an L-shaped connecting plate 12. The L-shaped connecting plate 12 fits into the corner of the first column 8, and the L-shaped connecting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the first column 8 by a stainless steel bolt group. An aluminum alloy hanger is integrally formed on the L-shaped connecting plate 12. A vertically set sliding groove is opened on the aluminum alloy hanger. The hanging ear is fixed in the sliding groove by a stainless steel stud. The end of the hanging ear is opened with a downward-facing hanging groove. The first platform bracket 6 includes an L-shaped plate body. Two strip holes are opened on the L-shaped plate body. The hanging groove is hung on the vertical folded edge of the L-shaped plate body. A connecting edge is provided on one side of the hanging ear. The connecting edge is fixedly connected to the vertical folded edge of the L-shaped plate body by a stainless steel bolt. The bolt of the groove embedded part 2 passes through the strip hole. A washer is put on the bolt and finally locked by a lock nut.
[0037] Furthermore, a second mounting lug 4 is fixed to the adapter 5, and the second mounting lug 4 is fixedly connected to the second base bracket 1. Similarly, the second mounting lug 4 and the second base bracket 1 are usually fixedly connected by bolts, pins or other fasteners. This connection method ensures a firm connection between the adapter 5 and the second base bracket 1, while allowing for fine-tuning within a certain range to accommodate errors and deformations during installation. A third mounting lug 3 is fixed to the central column 14, and the third mounting lug 3 is fixedly connected to the second base bracket 1.
[0038] Specifically, the adapter 5 has a vertically arranged sliding groove integrally formed on the left side. The sliding groove of the adapter 5 is fixed with a hanging ear by a stainless steel stud. The end of the hanging ear of the adapter 5 has a downward-facing hanging groove. The hanging groove of the adapter 5 is hung on the right side of the second base plate 1. One side of the hanging ear of the adapter 5 is fixedly connected to the second base plate 1 by a stainless steel bolt.
[0039] With only two installation points, the third hanging point is installed along with the 14 hanging points on the central column, eliminating the effects of initial deformation and stress, reducing structural safety hazards. With only two hanging points, adjustments can be made quickly to correct construction errors in three directions, achieving an efficiency similar to standard unitized panels, greatly improving the installation efficiency of unitized surfaces. This aligns with the installation characteristics of unitized curtain walls, reducing the need for platform brackets, lowering labor costs, improving construction efficiency, and achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
[0040] The first column 8 has a slot 10, and the second column 11 has an extension edge 9 that is adapted to the slot 10. The extension edge 9 is inserted into the slot 10. The design of the slot 10 makes it easy to connect and fix the first column 8 and the second column 11, which improves the installation efficiency and stability of the curtain wall system.
[0041] Specifically, the first column 8 has two slots 10 on its left side, and the second column 11 has an extension edge 9 on its right side. A sealing strip is provided between the extension edge 9 and the slots 10. The first column 8 and the second column 11 are spliced together to form a combined column.
[0042] The first lug 7 forms an angle α with the side of the first column 8, with an angle of 15-25°. The second lug 4 and the third lug 3 are located on the extended surfaces of the two sides of the central column 14, so that the first base bracket 6 and the second base bracket 1 form a certain angle. The design of the angle α allows the first lug 7 to better bear the weight and load of the curtain wall unit and effectively transfer these loads to the first column 8. At the same time, the angle α also increases the stability of the curtain wall system and improves the seismic performance of the system.
[0043] Specifically, the first mounting lug 7 is fixedly connected to the right and upper sides of the first column 8. The protruding section of the first mounting lug 7 is inclined to the right to form an angle. This angle design allows the curtain wall unit to fit more tightly against the surface of the column when it is attached to the first column 8, reducing swaying caused by external factors such as wind pressure and earthquakes. At the same time, the angle design also facilitates the precise installation and adjustment of the curtain wall unit by construction personnel.
[0044] A rectangular connecting plate 13 with a third hanging ear 3 is fixed on the left side of the central column 14. A vertical sliding groove is fixed on the upper side of the rectangular connecting plate 13. The hanging ear is fixedly connected in the vertical sliding groove by a stainless steel stud. The hanging ear is fixedly connected to the left side of the second base bracket 1.
[0045] The combined columns and the central column 14 are each fixed with a water trough 15 at their top. Support strips 16 are installed on the outer side of the water trough 15, and a drip edge 17 is mounted on the support strips 16. The main function of the water trough 15 is to collect and drain rainwater from the curtain wall system, preventing rainwater from seeping into the building interior or damaging the curtain wall system. The main function of the support strips 16 is to support and fix the drip edge 17, ensuring that the drip edge 17 can be stably suspended from the curtain wall system. Simultaneously, the support strips 16 also increase the strength and stability of the water trough 15, improving its load-bearing capacity.
[0046] An upper horizontal beam 18 is installed above the water tank 15, and a lower horizontal beam 19 is installed below the water tank 15. Curtain wall glass 20 is installed between the upper horizontal beam 18, the lower horizontal beam 19, the first column 8, and the middle column 14. The main function of the upper horizontal beam 18 and the lower horizontal beam 19 is to support and fix the curtain wall glass 20, ensuring that the glass can be stably suspended from the curtain wall system. At the same time, they also increase the overall strength and stability of the curtain wall system.
[0047] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
