Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building structure technology, and more specifically, it relates to a cantilevered curtain wall system in which the glass panel itself serves as the structural support. Background Technology

[0002] By covering the base of the support with panels, the special effect of weakening the visibility of the keel can be achieved. Based on the material characteristics of the glass panel, the cantilevered curtain wall can be made by connecting it with the steel channel support, which simplifies and reduces costs.

[0003] Based on the above, conventional cantilevered curtain wall systems require the use of robust structural members, resulting in a cramped and heavy spatial feel, poor lighting, and inconvenient assembly. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cantilevered curtain wall system in which the glass panel itself serves as the structural support, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art where conventional cantilevered curtain wall systems require robust structural members, resulting in a cramped and heavy spatial feel and poor lighting.

[0005] The purpose and function of this cantilevered curtain wall system, in which the glass panel itself serves as structural support, are achieved through the following specific technical means:

[0006] A cantilevered curtain wall system in which the glass panel itself serves as structural support includes a steel channel support, the main body of which is a U-shaped structure; an embedded part that is spot-welded to the steel channel support; a rigid-flexible pad that can be fitted into the steel channel support; a glass panel located within the steel channel support, the glass panel having a through hole in which a nylon washer is embedded; and a connecting bolt passing through the steel channel support, the connecting bolt passing through the rigid-flexible pad and the nylon washer.

[0007] Furthermore, two sets of steel pad frames are spot-welded to both sides of the steel channel support.

[0008] Furthermore, the steel pad frame is externally fixed with corner pieces using screws.

[0009] Furthermore, the steel channel support and corner piece are covered with a decorative metal surface material, which is printed with patterns and covered with a sun-protective coating.

[0010] Furthermore, the gap between the cladding metal surface material and the steel channel support and embedded part is filled with sealant.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] Installation is relatively convenient and the construction period is short. It can be prefabricated and installed when the installation conditions are met. It can meet the installation requirements of different small-sized cantilever curtain walls by using only glass panels and simple steel channel supports and other related connecting parts.

[0013] The glass panel cantilever system can be formed simply by fastening the glass panels to the fiberglass channel supports. The glass panels serve as both the supporting structure and the decorative panels, achieving a good facade aesthetic effect and realizing a more beautiful, novel, and transparent effect.

[0014] Glass panels, steel channel supports, etc. are all manufactured to the required dimensions and do not require secondary processing after arrival on site.

[0015] When different shapes of glass panels are required, simply replace the glass panels to meet the installation and usage requirements of different scenarios. The cladding metal surface can also provide auxiliary decorative effects. Setting a reflective coating can reduce the temperature of the cladding metal surface, increase its lifespan, and prevent deformation caused by high temperatures. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of the present invention.

[0017] In the diagram, the correspondence between component names and drawing numbers is as follows:

[0018] 1. Steel channel support; 2. Embedded parts; 3. Rigid and flexible pads; 4. Nylon washers; 5. Glass panels; 6. Connecting bolts; 7. Cladding metal face material; 8. Steel frame; 9. Sealant; 10. Corner pieces. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0020] Example 1:

[0021] As attached Figure 1 As shown:

[0022] This utility model provides a cantilevered curtain wall system in which the glass panel itself serves as a structural support, including a steel channel support 1, the main body of which is a U-shaped structure; an embedded part 2, which is spot-welded to the steel channel support 1; a rigid-flexible pad 3, which can be fitted into the steel channel support 1; a glass panel 5, which is located inside the steel channel support 1, and has a through hole in which a nylon washer 4 is embedded; and a connecting bolt 6 passes through the steel channel support 1, which passes through the rigid-flexible pad 3 and the nylon washer 4.

[0023] Two sets of steel pad frames 8 are spot-welded to both sides of the steel channel support 1.

[0024] Among them, the steel pad frame 8 is externally fixed with screws and has a corner piece 10, which is an L-shaped strip structure.

[0025] Among them, the steel channel support 1 and the corner piece 10 are covered with a decorative metal surface material 7, which is printed with patterns and covered with a sun-proof coating.

[0026] Among them, the gap between the cladding metal surface material 7 and the steel channel support 1 and the embedded part 2 is filled with sealant 9.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, during actual installation, as Figure 1 As shown, first connect the steel channel support 1 to the embedded part 2 on the main structure, then tighten the glass panel 5 and the steel channel support 1 with connecting bolts 6 to secure them firmly, and finally cover the steel channel support 1 with the decorative metal material 7 and apply glue to the edges. This forms a decorative surface with only cantilevered glass support, thus completing the installation.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] Based on Example 1, after installation, apart from the glass panel 5, only the metal cladding 7 is exposed to the outside, and only the metal cladding 7 can be decorated. You can choose to add a sun-protective coating or sticker to the outside of the metal cladding 7 later. You can even add a coating to wrap the metal cladding 7 and the sealant 9. If a reflective coating is set, it can reduce the temperature of the metal cladding 7, increase its lifespan, and prevent deformation caused by high temperature.

[0030] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0031] In this utility model, during assembly, the steel channel support 1 is first connected to the embedded part 2 pre-embedded in the main structure. After adjusting the overall level, the two are reliably welded. Then, the steel pad frame 8 is spot welded to the steel channel support 1. The rigid flexible pad block 3 is placed in the steel channel support 1. Then, the nylon washer 4 is placed in the mounting hole of the glass panel 5. The glass panel 5 with the nylon washer 4 placed is inserted into the steel channel support 1.

[0032] After adjusting the overall level of the glass panel 5, connect the glass panel 5 and the steel channel support 1 into one piece using connecting bolts 6. After tightening, seal the steel channel support 1 with the cladding metal material 7. Seal the cladding metal material 7 and the steel channel support 1 with sealant 9. After completion, they become one piece.

[0033] Wrap the corner piece 10 around the other side of the metal cover 7, and then fill the gap with sealant 9 to complete the wrapping and sealing.

[0034] By setting up multiple layers of this structure, with each layer of glass panels 5 being individually adjusted and installed, a complete curtain wall system can be formed.
