Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of building construction, and in particular to a glass curtain wall structure. Background Technology
[0002] In modern office and residential environments, a balanced indoor lighting environment is crucial for improving residents' mood and work efficiency. However, traditional glass curtain wall designs often face two extreme problems: when the sun is strong, the indoor lighting is too bright, leading to glare and increased indoor temperature, affecting users' comfort and visual health; while on cloudy days or at sunset, the indoor lighting may be too dim, resulting in insufficient indoor light, which also affects users' comfort and visual health.
[0003] To adjust the amount of light entering the room through the glass curtain wall, curtains are usually installed on the side of the glass curtain wall closest to the interior. The light entering the room through the glass curtain wall is adjusted by opening and closing the curtains. However, when the curtains are closed, they block the glass curtain wall, preventing users from enjoying the outdoor scenery through the glass curtain wall and rendering the glass curtain wall useless. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the issue of curtains obscuring the glass curtain wall when they are drawn, this application provides a glass curtain wall structure.
[0005] The glass curtain wall structure provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A glass curtain wall structure, comprising:
[0007] glass plate;
[0008] A top abutment plate is slidably disposed on one side of the glass plate;
[0009] A filling component, including a light-blocking liquid, is disposed between the glass plate and the top abutment plate;
[0010] A drive assembly is disposed on the side of the top abutment plate away from the glass plate and is in contact with the top abutment plate, for driving the top abutment plate to move relative to the glass plate.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding of the top plate is controlled by the drive component, and the coverage area of the light-blocking liquid between the glass panel and the top plate can be dynamically adjusted, thereby achieving control of indoor light intensity. There is no need to use curtains, which improves the problem of curtains blocking the glass curtain wall. It maintains the integrity and transparency of the glass curtain wall, allowing the glass curtain wall to provide a wide field of vision and enhance the visual connection between indoors and outdoors.
[0012] Preferably, the driving assembly includes a bag and a liquid pump. The bag is fixedly disposed on the side of the top abutment plate away from the glass plate. The bag is connected to the top abutment plate. The liquid pump is in communication with the bag and is used to drive liquid inflow and outflow from the bag.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the liquid pump can accurately control the amount of liquid flowing into and out of the bag. By expanding and contracting the bag, the position of the top plate can be changed, thereby adjusting the position of the top plate and thus adjusting the coverage area of the light-shielding liquid, that is, the height of the light-shielding liquid relative to the glass plate, ensuring control of the light-shielding part.
[0014] Preferably, the drive assembly further includes a support tube, which is hollow and has an overflow hole on its side wall. The support tube passes through the bladder and is connected to the bladder through the overflow hole. One end of the support tube is connected to the liquid pump.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the support tube can support the bladder so that the bladder maintains a certain shape and position, ensuring that the bladder will not shift or slide. The support tube connects the inside of the bladder and the liquid pump through the overflow hole, allowing the liquid to flow between the bladder and the liquid pump.
[0016] Preferably, the drive assembly further includes a limiting plate, which is disposed at the end of the support tube away from the liquid pump, the limiting plate is fixedly connected to the support tube, and the limiting plate abuts against the bladder.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting plate can limit the range of bag expansion and the direction of bag expansion, thereby improving the efficiency of the bag pushing or pulling the top plate.
[0018] Preferably, the liquid pump is a peristaltic pump.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the peristaltic pump can effectively handle high-viscosity liquids, is less prone to air intake during liquid delivery, and has a small size that does not occupy too much space. Furthermore, the peristaltic pump is known for its precise fluid delivery capability, which can accurately control the flow rate and speed of the liquid, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the amount of liquid in the bag, which in turn can precisely change the position of the top plate, and finally precisely adjust the volume of the light-shielding liquid to ensure control of the light-shielding part.
[0020] Preferably, the filling component further includes a flexible container for enclosing the filling liquid.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the flexible container can deform accordingly according to the change in the volume of the light-shielding liquid, adapt to the change in the liquid coverage area, and avoid leakage of the light-shielding liquid.
[0022] Preferably, it also includes a curtain wall frame, which is fixedly connected to the glass panel. The curtain wall frame is provided with a recessed receiving groove for accommodating the drive assembly, the filling assembly, and the top abutment plate.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solutions, the curtain wall frame allows for the unified installation and fixing of the drive components, infill components, and top abutment, simplifying the installation process and improving the overall structural compactness. By setting recessed receiving slots, the curtain wall frame effectively utilizes space, providing suitable storage locations for components while maintaining the cleanliness and aesthetics of the building's appearance.
[0024] Preferably, a metal plate may be detachably installed in the receiving groove, the metal plate being fixedly connected to the end of the support tube away from the limiting plate, and the metal plate abutting against the bag.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, on the one hand, the metal plate can limit the range of bladder expansion and the direction of bladder expansion, improve the efficiency of bladder pushing or pulling the top plate, and bear the load generated by bladder; on the other hand, the metal plate can separate bladder and liquid pump, avoiding interference with the operation of liquid pump when bladder expands.
[0026] Preferably, the filling liquid is a photochromic material solution.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solutions, photochromic materials can change their optical properties, such as transmittance and color, under different light intensities, thereby achieving intelligent adjustment of the amount and quality of light entering the room.
[0028] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0029] 1. The drive component controls the sliding of the top plate, which can dynamically adjust the coverage area of the light-blocking liquid between the glass panel and the top plate, thereby controlling the indoor light intensity. There is no need to use curtains, which improves the problem of curtains blocking the glass curtain wall. It maintains the integrity and transparency of the glass curtain wall, allowing the glass curtain wall to provide a wide view and enhance the visual connection between the indoor and outdoor areas.
[0030] 2. The liquid pump can precisely control the amount of liquid flowing into and out of the bag. By expanding and contracting the bag, the position of the top plate is changed, thereby adjusting the position of the top plate and thus adjusting the coverage area of the light-shielding liquid, that is, the height of the light-shielding liquid relative to the glass plate, to ensure control of the light-shielding part.
[0031] 3. The support tube supports the bladder to maintain its shape and position, ensuring that the bladder will not shift or slide. The support tube connects the inside of the bladder and the liquid pump through the overflow hole, allowing the liquid to flow between the bladder and the liquid pump. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.
[0039] This application discloses a glass curtain wall structure. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The glass curtain wall structure includes a curtain wall frame 1, glass panels 3, top abutment 6, infill components 7, and drive components 4.
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall of the curtain wall frame 1 is used to connect with the main building and / or any structure, the inner wall of the curtain wall frame 1 is fixedly connected with the glass panel 3, and the curtain wall frame 1 is provided with a recessed receiving groove 2, which is used to receive the top abutment plate 6, the filling component 7 and the driving component 4.
[0041] In this embodiment, the curtain wall frame 1 is specifically a metal frame. The top and bottom of the inner wall of the curtain wall frame 1 are respectively provided with a recessed receiving groove 2. The curtain wall frame 1 installs and fixes the drive assembly 4, the filling assembly 7 and the top abutment assembly through the receiving groove 2, which improves the overall structural compactness of the glass curtain wall structure, effectively utilizes space, provides a suitable storage position for the top abutment plate 6, the filling assembly 7 and the drive assembly 4, and at the same time maintains the neatness and beauty of the glass curtain wall structure.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 2The outer wall of the glass panel 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the curtain wall frame 1. In this embodiment, three glass panels 3 are provided, all three glass panels 3 are arranged side by side, and the three glass panels 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the receiving groove 2.
[0043] Specifically, two glass panels 3 are positioned on the side of the curtain wall frame 1 closest to the exterior of the building structure, with a gap between them to form an air layer. This air layer slows down heat transfer and stabilizes the temperature inside the building structure. The other glass panel 3 is positioned on the side of the curtain wall frame 1 closest to the interior of the building structure to prevent users from touching the interior of the glass curtain wall structure, thus ensuring the stability of the glass curtain wall structure. The three glass panels 3 provide users with a wide field of vision, enhance the visual connection between the interior and exterior, and create a sense of spaciousness.
[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the drive assembly 4 includes a bag 41, a liquid pump 42, a support tube 43, and a limiting plate 44. In this embodiment, the liquid pump 42 is specifically a peristaltic pump. The liquid pump 42 is fixedly installed in the receiving groove 2, and the bottom of the liquid pump 42 is fixedly connected to the curtain wall frame 1. The liquid pump 42 is used to drive liquid into and out of the bag 41. The bag 41 is installed on the top of the liquid pump 42 and is connected to the liquid pump 42 through the support tube 43. An overflow hole 8 for liquid to flow in and out is provided on the side wall of the support tube 43. The limiting plate 44 is installed at the end of the support tube 43 away from the liquid pump 42. The limiting plate 44 is fixedly connected to the support tube 43 and the curtain wall frame 1, and the limiting plate 44 abuts against the bag 41. In the initial state, there is a certain amount of liquid in the bag 41, the support tube 43, and the liquid pump 42. There are two drive assemblies 4, which are respectively installed in two receiving grooves 2.
[0045] Specifically, the liquid pump 42 is a peristaltic pump that can effectively handle high-viscosity liquids, is less prone to air intake when transporting liquids, and has a small size that does not take up too much space; in addition, the peristaltic pump is known for its precise fluid delivery capability, which can precisely control the flow rate and speed of the liquid, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the amount of liquid in the bladder 41, so that the bladder 41 expands and contracts.
[0046] The support tube 43 supports the bladder 41 to maintain its shape and position, ensuring that the bladder 41 does not shift or slide. The support tube 43 connects the inside of the bladder 41 and the liquid pump 42 through the overflow hole 8, allowing liquid to flow between the bladder 41 and the liquid pump 42. The limiting plate 44 can limit the expansion range of the bladder 41, especially the expansion range of the side of the bladder 41 away from the liquid pump 42, thereby limiting the expansion direction of the bladder 41.
[0047] It should be noted that a metal plate 5 is also fixedly installed in the receiving groove 2. The metal plate 5 is located on the side of the bladder 41 near the liquid pump 42 of the support tube 43. The metal plate 5 is arranged opposite to the limiting plate 44 and abuts against the bladder 41. In this embodiment, the metal plate 5 is penetrated by the support tube 43. On the one hand, the metal plate 5 can limit the expansion range of the bladder 41, especially the expansion range of the bladder 41 near the liquid pump 42, thereby limiting the expansion direction of the bladder 41 together with the limiting plate 44 and bearing the load generated by the bladder 41. On the other hand, the metal plate 5 can separate the bladder 41 and the liquid pump 42 to prevent the bladder 41 from interfering with the operation of the liquid pump 42 when it expands.
[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the top abutment plate 6 is slidably disposed on one side of the glass plate 3; in this embodiment of the application, the top abutment plate 6 is specifically an acrylic plate, and the two ends of the top abutment plate 6 are respectively disposed in the two receiving grooves 2 of the curtain wall frame 1, and both ends of the top abutment plate 6 are slidably connected to the curtain wall frame 1.
[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, two top abutment plates 6 are provided, each top abutment plate 6 is vertically arranged, the side walls at both ends of each top abutment plate 6 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the bag 41 in the corresponding receiving groove 2, and each top abutment plate 6 is arranged opposite to the glass plate 3 on the corresponding side near the receiving groove 2.
[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the filling component 7 includes a light-blocking liquid 71 and a flexible container 72. The flexible container 72 encloses the light-blocking liquid 71, and the outer surface of the flexible container 72 is fixedly connected to the curtain wall frame 1 and the abutment plate. The light-blocking liquid 71 can change its optical properties, such as light transmittance and color, under different light intensities, thereby adjusting the amount and quality of light entering the room. The flexible container 72 can deform accordingly according to the change in the volume of the light-blocking liquid 71 to adapt to the change in the liquid coverage area and prevent the light-blocking liquid 71 from leaking.
[0051] In this embodiment of the application, four filling components 7 are provided, each filling component 7 is disposed in the corresponding receiving groove 2, and each filling component 7 is located between the corresponding abutment plate and the corresponding glass plate 3.
[0052] It should be noted that the materials of the light-shielding liquid 71 and the flexible container 72 need to be set according to the actual use requirements. This application does not impose specific restrictions on the materials of the light-shielding liquid 71 and the flexible container 72. For ease of understanding, the light-shielding liquid 71 in the embodiments of this application is a photochromic material solution, and the flexible container 72 is a transparent polyphenylsulfone box.
[0053] The implementation principle of a glass curtain wall structure in this application embodiment is as follows: the liquid pump 42 delivers liquid to the bag 41 through the through hole of the support pipe 43, thereby causing the bag 41 to expand. After the bag 41 expands, it pushes the top and bottom plates to move, causing the top and bottom plates and the glass plate 3 to squeeze the flexible container 72. The flexible container 72 deforms after being squeezed, changing the shape of the light-blocking liquid 71, that is, changing the coverage area of the light-blocking liquid 71 on the glass plate 3, thereby achieving control of indoor light intensity. Without the need for curtains, it improves the problem of the glass curtain wall being blocked when the curtains are drawn, maintains the integrity and transparency of the glass curtain wall, and allows the glass curtain wall to provide users with a wide field of vision while reducing the light entering the main building, enhancing the visual connection between indoors and outdoors, and creating a sense of open space.
[0054] When it is necessary to increase the indoor brightness, the liquid can be drawn out from the bag 41 by the liquid pump 42, causing the bag 41 to contract. After the bag 41 contracts, it pulls the top and bottom plates to move, causing the top and bottom plates to reset and the flexible container 72 to reset. When the flexible container 72 resets, it drives the light-blocking liquid 71 to reset, so that the light-blocking liquid 71 no longer blocks the glass plate 3, increasing the light entering the room and making the room brighter.
[0055] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
