Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building construction technology, and specifically relates to a modular curtain wall structure that is easy to install. Background Technology
[0002] A curtain wall structure is a building exterior wall system that not only serves a decorative purpose but also provides the building's enclosure. Curtain walls typically consist of a frame and inlay materials, which can be glass, metal panels, stone, or other composite materials. Modular curtain wall systems are becoming increasingly popular in modern architecture due to their unique design and material combinations.
[0003] Chinese Patent CN221002456U (publication date: May 24, 2024) discloses a novel modular curtain wall structure, including a first connecting plate, a curtain wall panel, a second connecting plate, a connecting block, a rotating shaft, and a rotating plate. The first connecting plate is connected to the curtain wall panel. Slots are provided on both sides of the interior of the first connecting plate. A connecting groove is provided on the left side of the slots. A threaded plate is provided inside the connecting groove, and a threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inside of the threaded plate. A knob is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod. The second connecting plate is located on the right side of the first connecting plate, and a connecting block is fixedly connected to the second connecting plate. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the center of the connecting block, and a rotating plate is provided outside the rotating shaft. An insert plate is fixedly connected to the left side of the rotating plate. This technical solution achieves the effect of a modular building curtain wall, facilitating subsequent disassembly and installation of the curtain wall.
[0004] Chinese Patent CN112502334A (publication date: March 16, 2021) discloses a modular curtain wall structure, comprising several curtain wall units arranged in a rectangular array along both horizontal and vertical directions. Each curtain wall unit includes a fixed frame, a glass block, a linear motion drive mechanism, and a vacuum adsorption bonding mechanism. The back of the glass block is connected to the linear motion drive mechanism via the vacuum adsorption bonding mechanism, and the linear motion drive mechanism is connected to the fixed frame. The fixed frames of adjacent curtain wall units are connected together. This invention features a novel structure, flexible use, and can effectively improve the decorative effect, thus promoting the development of existing curtain wall structures.
[0005] Chinese Patent CN113700184A (publication date: November 26, 2021) discloses a modular curtain wall structure, including a substrate and a frame. Connectors are fixedly installed around the frame, with the ends of the connectors furthest from the frame connected to the substrate. A main body is rotatably installed inside the frame. A snap-fit mechanism is provided around the sidewalls of the frame, comprising a horizontal part and a vertical part. The main body is connected to a control mechanism, which includes a rotating part and a slewing part. By setting the rotating and slewing parts to cooperate with the main body, the rotation of the main body within the frame can be easily controlled, facilitating ventilation through the gap between the main body and the frame. By setting the snap-fit mechanism composed of the horizontal and vertical parts to cooperate with the sealing mechanism, multiple frames can be easily assembled and installed, effectively reducing the gaps between the frames.
