Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a combined ventilation and lighting decorative frame based on an outward projection of an energy-saving unit curtain wall, which is applied in the field of building engineering, especially in the design and construction of a combined ventilation and lighting decorative frame based on an outward projection of an energy-saving unit curtain wall. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there are two main approaches to decorative framing for building facades. One is the commonly used single-section aluminum alloy profile decorative strips, which are created through aluminum profile molding and then connected and fixed on-site. However, this method is limited by the size of the mold cross-section and the wall thickness requirements, making it impossible to achieve large-scale and complex shapes, and the cost is also relatively high. The other approach is to directly fabricate metal sheets, but this is limited by metal sheet processing technology, resulting in mostly rougher shapes that cannot be finely processed to create sharp, angular lines. Some complex shapes are also difficult to fabricate, and the installation is more cumbersome with more seams. These conventional decorative framing methods basically only serve the single function of decorating and beautifying the facade, and cannot well accommodate the functional requirements of concealed ventilation and lighting on the building facade.
[0003] Traditional ventilation opening functions are usually achieved by installing operable windows on the facade curtain wall panels. The decorative frame is mostly directly transferred and fixed from the curtain wall columns or beams. The operable windows cannot be hidden, and the lighting is usually exposed on the building facade during the day. All of these factors will directly or indirectly affect the effect of the building facade.
[0004] Furthermore, even though some curtain wall designs now incorporate perforated panels with internally opening windows, their decorative effect is rather limited, and they cannot effectively achieve concealed lighting functionality. Traditional decorative frameworks cannot reconcile the three major architectural functions of ventilation, lighting, and decoration, while simultaneously ensuring safety, aesthetics, energy efficiency, and economy. A new type of ventilation, lighting, and decorative framework technology is needed to adapt to the increasingly demanding requirements of modern architecture for the integration of decoration and function. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and meet the diverse decorative framework requirements of architectural styles, while integrating concealed ventilation and lighting functions, this utility model develops and designs a modular decorative framework. It combines uniquely designed profile components and perforated metal plates, enabling different decorative framework shapes and utilizing the variety of perforation patterns, arrangements, and sizes of the perforated metal plates to create rich visual effects through light and shadow. Furthermore, ventilation fans, made of aluminum alloy profiles or a combination of aluminum alloy profiles and metal plates, are installed on the inner side of the decorative framework to achieve concealed natural ventilation. Additionally, grooves are arranged on the decorative framework to fix concealed lighting troughs, allowing the lighting fixtures to be hidden within the framework. This makes the entire modular decorative framework both exquisite and aesthetically pleasing, combining concealed ventilation and concealed lighting functions.
[0006] This utility model provides a combined ventilation and lighting decorative frame based on an outward-projecting energy-saving unit curtain wall. Specifically, an outward-projecting decorative frame is set on the energy-saving unit curtain wall. Horizontal connectors and horizontal support rods are cut and processed at angles to form horizontal triangular support members. These are then assembled with F-shaped vertical frames and central decorative profiles using fasteners to form the inner triangular column support skeleton of the decorative frame. Processed perforated metal plates are fixed to the triangular column support skeleton. Hidden lighting troughs are then fixed in the grooves pre-reserved in the perforated metal plates and the lighting fixtures are installed, forming a combined overall decorative frame. Finally, the assembled decorative frame is connected to the cantilevered outward wings of the unit columns and unit center columns to achieve the connection and installation of the decorative frame and unit panels. At the same time, aluminum alloy profile opening windows or aluminum alloy profile and metal plate combination opening windows are installed in the middle of the inner side of the unit columns and unit center columns to achieve a hidden ventilation function.
[0007] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is a combined ventilation and lighting decorative frame based on an energy-saving unit curtain wall cantilever. It is assembled from an F-shaped vertical frame, a U-shaped horizontal connector, a horizontal support rod, a central decorative profile, a perforated metal plate, stainless steel bolts, light troughs, light fixtures, stainless steel screws, rivets, unit columns, unit central columns, window frames, window sashes, insulation cotton, ventilation windows, and sealing plates. Its characteristic is that the U-shaped horizontal connector and the horizontal support rod are connected and assembled to form a horizontal triangular support member, and the two inner wings of the horizontal triangular support member are connected by stainless steel bolts. The F-shaped vertical frame on the side is connected to the central decorative profile on the outside to form a triangular prism support frame. Two perforated metal plates are installed on the left and right sides of the triangular prism support frame. The light trough is fixed in the groove formed after the perforated metal plate and the triangular prism support frame are assembled. The light strip is installed on the light trough, thus completing the overall assembly of the combined ventilation and lighting decoration frame. The F-shaped vertical frame on both sides of the combined ventilation and lighting decoration frame is connected to the extended wings on the outer end face of the unit column and the unit middle column, respectively. The inner side between the unit column and the unit middle column is provided with a ventilation opening window.
[0008] The two F-shaped vertical frames each include a horizontal wing and two inner wings. The outer inner wings are connected to the outer wings of the unit column and the unit center column respectively by stainless steel screws. The inner inner wings cover the front end face of the unit column and the unit center column. The tail of the stainless steel screw is hidden in the cavity formed by the assembly and connection of the two. The tail of the stainless steel screw is not exposed in the external appearance.
[0009] Both of the perforated metal plates on the left and right sides have large perforations and horizontal folds on the inner side. They are connected to the horizontal wings of the F-shaped vertical frame by rivet sets. The outer side has vertical inward folds and is connected to the connecting wings on the left and right sides of the central decorative profile by rivet sets. The rivets are not exposed when viewed from the outside.
[0010] The two perforated metal plates have a recessed groove on the outer edge of one of them, or both of them have recessed grooves on the outer edges of the two perforated metal plates, to conceal the installation of the light trough and light strip.
[0011] The unit columns, unit center columns, window frames, and window sashes are all made of thermally broken aluminum alloy profiles.
[0012] The ventilation window is filled with insulating rock wool, and the cavities formed by the sides of the unit columns and the unit center columns and the sealing plate are also filled with insulating rock wool.
[0013] Technical features
[0014] 1. Safe and Reliable: The cantilevered, modular ventilation and lighting decorative frame adopts a triangular prism-shaped load-bearing structural model, ensuring stable structural performance. The inner wings of the vertical frame and the outer wings on the unit columns are mechanically connected, with a reasonable force transmission path and safe and reliable connection. Meanwhile, the ventilation and operable fans are located inside the decorative frame, effectively preventing the operable windows from falling off and eliminating the path for objects to be thrown outwards from the operable fans, making the operable fans safer and more reliable in daily use.
[0015] 2. Multifunctional Integration: The decorative frame not only meets the diverse aesthetic requirements of buildings but also features concealed ventilation. The exterior of the frame uses perforated metal plates to satisfy ventilation needs and prevent objects from being thrown from heights. Simultaneously, the decorative frame integrates lighting functions. Recessed grooves on the frame securely hold lighting fixtures, allowing them to be perfectly concealed during the day. When the lighting strips are activated, the combination of light and the frame's design creates a stunning interplay of light and shadow. Furthermore, the facade of the combined ventilated and illuminated decorative frame is a non-transparent curtain wall with comprehensive energy-saving measures, effectively reducing the window-to-wall ratio and significantly improving the curtain wall's energy efficiency.
[0016] 3. Excellent Visual Effect: The decorative frame adopts a modular cross-section, offering diverse and adaptable forms. The perforated metal plates on the outer side of the frame feature varied perforations, creating a refined and aesthetically pleasing visual effect combined with light and shadow. Meanwhile, the ventilation fans are located inside the decorative frame, not affecting the facade's segmentation. Regardless of whether the fans are in use or open, they remain invisible on the facade, ensuring the overall architectural effect is not compromised and enhancing the final result. Furthermore, recessed grooves on the decorative frame secure the lighting fixtures, perfectly concealing them within the frame and preserving the building's appearance. When the lighting is activated, the combination of light and the frame's design creates a stunning interplay of light and shadow.
[0017] 4. Good economic efficiency: The modular ventilation and decorative frame adopts the form of profile assembly to form a large frame cross section, which reduces the difficulty of mold making for large cross-section profiles and breaks through the limitation of profile mold cross-section, greatly reducing the amount of aluminum material used, making the cost of the decorative frame lower than similar products. Moreover, the lighting fixtures can be installed in advance, saving the corresponding installation and construction costs later.
[0018] 5. Excellent processability: The ventilation and decorative frame is assembled in the workshop, simplifying the process and improving processing accuracy and quality. After the finished product is processed, it is installed onto the unit panels and then shipped to the construction site. On-site installation only requires normal unit panel hanging, making installation simple and quick, and further ensuring installation accuracy and quality. Lighting fixtures can also be installed simultaneously with the panels, reducing the difficulty of lighting construction and saving construction costs.
[0019] 6. Easy to replace and maintain: The stainless steel screw connection and fixing method is not only easy to install, but also easy to disassemble and maintain later; the lamps are hidden in the decorative frame, making it more convenient and quick to replace and maintain them later.

[0026] exist Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4In this embodiment, the U-shaped horizontal connector 2 and the horizontal support rod 3 are machined at an angle to form a horizontal triangular support rod. This support rod, along with the F-shaped vertical frame 1 and the central decorative profile 4, is assembled and connected using stainless steel bolts 6 and stainless steel screws 9 to form the inner triangular prism support frame of the decorative structure. After fixing the machined perforated metal plate 5 onto the triangular prism support frame, the light trough 7 is fixed into the pre-reserved groove in the perforated metal plate 5 using stainless steel screws 9. Then, the light strip 8 is clipped onto the light trough 7, thus completing the overall assembly of the combined ventilation and lighting decorative structure. Next, the window frame 13, window sash 14, and insulation cotton 15 are assembled to form a ventilation and opening window 16, which is installed between the unit column 11 and the unit central column 12. The ventilation and opening window 16 is then insulated and sealed around its perimeter using insulation cotton 15 and sealing plates 17. Finally, stainless steel screws 9 are used to fix the unit column 11 and the unit center column 12 to the outer wings of the F-shaped vertical frame 1 through the inner wings, so as to realize the connection and fixation of the combined ventilation and lighting decoration frame and the unit panel. After all the positioning is completed, the unit panel will be sent to the site for installation.
[0027] The above method can be used to implement the installation of a combined ventilation, lighting, and decorative structure based on an energy-saving unit curtain wall that can project outwards.
