[0021] The stainless steel snap-fit ​​cover 5 has stainless steel bolts 4 threaded on its surface. The stainless steel snap-fit ​​cover 5 is fixedly connected to the first stainless steel crossbeam 6 and the second stainless steel crossbeam 7 by the stainless steel bolts 4 passing through it. When the user tightens the stainless steel bolts 4, the threads on the surface of the stainless steel bolts 4 match the surface of the second stainless steel crossbeam 7, thereby assembling the stainless steel snap-fit ​​cover 5 and the second stainless steel crossbeam 7 together.

[0022] A first pad 9 is laid at the connection between the second stainless steel beam 7 and the first glass panel 1, and a second pad 8 is laid at the connection between the second stainless steel beam 7 and the second glass panel 10.

[0023] Both nylon heat insulation pads 3 include a rubber support frame 31 and a heat insulation pad 35. A nylon pad 32 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the rubber support frame 31. An adhesive pad 33 is attached to the top of the nylon pad 32. The top of the adhesive pad 33 is attached to the bottom of the heat insulation pad 35. Several heat insulation strips 34 are fixedly installed on the surface of the adhesive pad 33.

[0024] The bottom end of the nylon pad 32 is fixedly connected to the second stainless steel crossbeam 7, and the nylon heat insulation pad 3 is installed on the second stainless steel crossbeam 7 through the nylon pad 32.

[0025] The stainless steel snap-fit ​​cover 5 includes a first cover body 51 and two sliding blocks 53. A second cover body 55 is provided on one side of the first cover body 51. Both ends of the first cover body 51 are fixedly connected to one end of each of the two sliding blocks 53. Positioning plates 56 are fixedly installed on both ends of the second cover body 55. Sliding grooves 57 are opened on one side of each of the two positioning plates 56. The two sliding blocks 53 are respectively set with the two sliding grooves 57. The two ends of one side of the second cover body 55 are provided with slots 54. The two ends of one side of the first cover body 51 are fixedly installed with pins 52. The two pins 52 are respectively set with the two slots 54. The first cover body 51 is inserted into the slots 54 through the pins 52, completing the assembly of the first cover body 51 and the second cover body 55. The first cover body 51 slides into the sliding grooves 57 through the sliding blocks 53, improving the accuracy of the fastening.

[0026] One side of the inner wall of the first cover 51 is fixedly connected to the second stainless steel crossbeam 7, and one side of the inner wall of the second cover 55 is fixedly connected to the first stainless steel crossbeam 6.

[0027] In this embodiment, both the first glass panel 1 and the second glass panel 10 are glass curtain walls. Based on the aforementioned ribless design concept, its biggest highlight is that the large areas of the all-glass curtain wall do not have vertical supports. Instead, they are supported by stainless steel beams between the upper and lower double-glazed laminated glass panels. This design not only simplifies the curtain wall structure but also enhances its aesthetics. At the connection between the glass and the steel beam, silicone structural adhesive 2 is used for rigid-flexible coupling. This connection method allows the glass, structural adhesive, and steel channel to share the load, forming a stable whole. Thus, the curtain wall exhibits better stability and safety when subjected to external forces such as wind pressure and earthquakes. Furthermore, the top and bottom steel beams, specifically the first stainless steel beam 6 and the second stainless steel beam 7, connect the curtain wall to the... The main structure is connected to form a complete structural system. This system, together with the main structures on both sides and the steel structure of the door frame, constitutes the building's external envelope. The principle of rigid-flexible coupling specifically refers to a complex system formed by multiple rigid or flexible bodies connected to each other in a certain way during the dynamic process. Curved glass is used, and the upper and lower glass are bonded to H-shaped stainless steel beams with structural adhesive. Due to the uniqueness of the curved shape, there is a difference in the amount of deformation inside and outside when subjected to external forces. The structural adhesive undergoes a large amount of elastic deformation, so that the structural adhesive and the H-shaped stainless steel beams share the force. A ribless design is adopted, which greatly increases the size of the glass panels. This not only enhances the visual effect of the building facade, making the building more transparent and bright, but also improves the overall quality of the building.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
