Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a curtain wall cantilever rainproof, windproof and sunshade system, which is applied in the field of building curtain walls, especially the design and installation of curtain wall cantilever rainproof, windproof and sunshade systems. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with increasingly stringent requirements for building energy conservation, external shading systems are being increasingly adopted for building curtain walls. The energy efficiency of building curtain walls, the safety, durability, aesthetics, and shading effectiveness of external shading systems are also becoming more demanding. Traditional curtain wall external shading systems have limited functionality and cannot adequately meet the requirements for safety, durability, energy conservation, noise reduction, and wind and rain protection. Traditional electric shading systems are externally mounted and lack effective and secure rain protection. Even with rain covers, the coverage area is small, making the motor more susceptible to damage and increasing maintenance costs. The connection between traditional external shading systems and rain covers is often weak, leading to detachment and a poor interior appearance. Even with overhanging devices, the small overhang distance and limited adjustability fail to significantly improve the overall aesthetics of the interior and exterior. Furthermore, traditional external shading systems generally lack effective connection and fixing measures for their shading curtains or slats. The materials used for these curtains or slats are often thin, making them prone to damage from swaying and impacts in strong winds, generating noise, and compromising safety and durability. The aforementioned drawbacks of traditional curtain wall cantilever shading systems urgently need to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems and drawbacks of traditional cantilevered sunshade systems, this utility model provides a curtain wall cantilevered rain and windproof sunshade system. This system primarily uses adjustable connecting parts to project and fix the sunshade louvers. The connecting parts are first securely connected to the curtain wall, and then the sunshade system is reliably connected to the connecting parts. An L-shaped rainproof cover with folded edges is installed at the top. The rainproof cover and curtain wall are fixed using a pressure plate and a sealant connection. The connection point is then sealed with sealant around the perimeter. The left and right sides of the vertical edges of the sunshade system are connected to vertical decorative strips via side rails and track connectors. A center rail and track connectors connect the two sunshade systems to the vertical decorative strips. This allows for adjustable cantilever distance, good visual appeal, safe and reliable connection, strong load-bearing capacity, and long service life due to the rainproof cover protection. The side rails, center rails, and track connectors on the vertical edges ensure the sunshade material is secure, flat, and windproof, minimizing noise generation even in windy conditions.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a curtain wall cantilevered rainproof, windproof and sunshade system, which is composed of curtain wall columns, curtain wall beams, curtain wall panels, combined connectors, sunshade system, rainproof cover, bolts, pressure plates, corner brackets, weather-resistant sealant, sunshade surface material, center rail, side rail, track connector, and curtain wall vertical decorative strips. Its characteristic is that the combined connector includes a ten-shaped component with a base plate at the inner end and an L-shaped component with a cantilever end. The base plate of the ten-shaped component is connected to the curtain wall columns and curtain wall beams. The horizontal wing of the L-shaped component is connected to the upper end of the sunshade system by bolts. The sunshade system and the combined connector are covered with an L-shaped rainproof cover. A center rail is provided at the vertical joint of two adjacent sunshade systems. The center rail is connected to the curtain wall vertical decorative strip through a track connector. A side rail is provided at the vertical edge of the sunshade system. The side rail is connected to the curtain wall vertical decorative strip through a track connector.

[0005] The rear opening of the rainproof cover is pressed onto the curtain wall panel with a pressure plate, and the upper vertical joint is fixed to the L-shaped component of the assembly connector with an angle bracket. All horizontal and vertical joints of the rainproof cover are sealed with weather-resistant sealant.

[0006] The middle rail has a C-shaped groove in the middle of its inner side surface, and the side rail also has a C-shaped groove on the edge of its inner side surface. The outer end of the rail connector has a T-shaped head that snaps into the C-shaped groove on the inner side surface of the middle rail and the side rail.

[0007] The middle rail has C-shaped grooves on its left and right sides of its cross-section, which engage with the vertical edge of the sunshade material. The side rail also has a C-shaped groove on one side of its cross-section, which engages with the vertical edge of the sunshade material.

[0012] 3. Aesthetically pleasing: The rainproof cover design ensures the aesthetic continuity of the upper part of the sunshade system. The exposed center rail, side rails, and track connectors have a beautiful and reliable design, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.

[0013] 4. Good wind resistance and durability: Through the comprehensive connection of load-bearing components such as combined connectors, bolts, side rails, middle rails and track connectors, the load-bearing capacity and stability of the sunshade system and sunshade surface material under wind load are guaranteed, resulting in good wind resistance and durability, and it is not easy to generate noise.

[0014] 5. High rainproof durability: The unique rainproof cover design and all-around sealing ensure a firm installation and good sealing performance, effectively protecting the motor and other components of the sunshade system.
