Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of unitized curtain wall technology, and in particular to a small-gap side-mounted unitized curtain wall support system. Background Technology

[0002] Unitized curtain walls refer to building curtain walls where various wall panels and supporting frames are manufactured as complete basic units in a factory and then directly installed onto the main structure. Due to their advantages such as fast installation speed and high quality, unitized curtain walls are widely used in various building curtain walls. The support systems used to connect the curtain wall to the main structure have diverse structural forms, each with its own advantages, disadvantages, and applicable scope. Currently, most unitized curtain walls have fixed thicknesses that cannot be adjusted and can only accommodate small structural errors, resulting in limited applicability.

[0003] A wind-driven curtain wall unit structure, disclosed in CN221298335U, comprises three units mounted on mounting bases via supports. Each unit has two side facades with a first opening on each facade. Two wind chimes are positioned between the three supports. A first connecting rod passes through the first opening and is fixed to the supports, allowing the wind chimes to swing around the axis of the first connecting rod for easy installation and disassembly. However, this design still does not solve the problem of thickness adjustment issues. To address these problems, the side-mounted unitized curtain wall support system proposed in this application reduces the curtain wall thickness and can accommodate larger structural errors, providing a new solution for unitized curtain wall supports. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a small-gap side-mounted unitized curtain wall support system. This support has a three-dimensional adjustable function, can adapt to large structural errors, and can effectively improve the installation speed and accuracy of unitized panels.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a small-gap side-mounted unitized curtain wall support system, comprising a U-shaped aluminum alloy hanger and a grooved embedded part connected by three sets of T-bolts, wherein the U-shaped aluminum alloy hanger is the main load-bearing component of the entire support system.

[0006] The U-shaped aluminum alloy bracket and the C-shaped aluminum alloy bracket are connected by an M10*40 stainless steel bolt group. The C-shaped aluminum alloy bracket has two vertically opened φ13mm through holes. Two M12*180 stainless steel bolts are passed through these holes. A load-bearing aluminum alloy square bar is then connected below the bolts as a load-bearing component when the unit panels are hung.

[0007] The height of the aluminum alloy square bar can be adjusted by rotating the nut, thereby adjusting the installation elevation of the unit panel, which is easy to operate.

[0008] L-shaped aluminum brackets are installed on the side of the aluminum alloy unit column, and the two are connected by a set of stainless steel bolts.

[0009] Before installing the unit panels, first accurately adjust the horizontal X and Y positions of the C-shaped aluminum hangers. During hoisting, directly hang the L-shaped aluminum hangers into the slots of the C-shaped aluminum hangers, placing them on the top surface of the load-bearing aluminum alloy square bars. Then adjust the elevation of the panels to the correct position.

[0010] Note: Because the C-type aluminum alloy bracket has a large adjustment gap in the horizontal direction, a 4mm thick limiting aluminum shim needs to be installed between the L-type aluminum alloy bracket and the C-type aluminum alloy bracket on the left side of the unit panel during installation.

[0011] L-shaped aluminum alloy brackets are installed on the side of the aluminum alloy unit columns, which can reduce the gap between the aluminum alloy unit columns and the structure, and have a greater ability to adjust for structural errors.

[0012] A 4mm thick limiting aluminum pad is installed between the L-shaped aluminum alloy bracket and the C-shaped aluminum alloy bracket on the left side of the unit panel, while the L-shaped aluminum alloy bracket and the C-shaped aluminum alloy bracket on the right side of the unit panel are movably connected in the horizontal direction, which can ensure that the unit panel has a certain displacement capability in the horizontal direction.

[0013] The first stainless steel bolt group has a specification of M12*50, the second stainless steel bolt group has a specification of M12*180, and the third stainless steel bolt group has a specification of M10*40. This is a preferred solution.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This small-gap side-mounted unitized curtain wall support system uses aluminum brackets on the side of the unit columns to effectively reduce the thickness of the curtain wall. The support has a three-dimensional adjustable function, is easy and quick to operate, and can effectively improve the installation speed and accuracy of the unit panels. Attached Figure Description

[0026] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0027] Unless otherwise defined, the directions mentioned herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, are based on the directions shown in the figures of this utility model, and are explained here together.

[0028] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.

[0029] Its structure includes: U-shaped aluminum alloy hanger 1; C-shaped aluminum alloy hanger 2; L-shaped aluminum alloy hanger 3; thick limiting aluminum gasket 4; serrated aluminum alloy gasket 5; load-bearing aluminum alloy square bar 6; aluminum alloy unit column 7; aluminum alloy exposed frame column head 8; channel-type embedded part 9; first stainless steel bolt group 10; second stainless steel bolt group 11; third stainless steel bolt group 12; column bolt pad 13; theoretical structural edge line A1; actual structural edge line A2.

[0030] The support system consists of U-shaped aluminum alloy bracket 1, C-shaped aluminum alloy bracket 2 and L-shaped aluminum alloy bracket 3. The profiles are directly connected together by stainless steel bolts. The L-shaped aluminum alloy bracket 3 is installed on the side of the aluminum alloy unit column 7, which can reduce the gap between the aluminum alloy unit column 7 and the structure. A load-bearing aluminum alloy square bar 6 is set between the U-shaped aluminum alloy bracket and the C-shaped aluminum alloy bracket.

[0031] The U-shaped aluminum alloy bracket 1 and the C-shaped aluminum alloy bracket 2 are connected by a first stainless steel bolt group 10. The first stainless steel bolt group 10 has an M12*50 specification. The C-shaped aluminum alloy bracket 2 has two vertical through holes, and the two through holes are equipped with a second stainless steel bolt group 11.

[0032] The second stainless steel bolt group 11 has a specification of M12*180 and a through hole of φ13mm. The lower part of the second stainless steel bolt group 10 is connected to the load-bearing aluminum alloy square bar 6. A limiting aluminum washer 4 is installed between the L-shaped aluminum alloy hanger 3 and the C-shaped aluminum alloy hanger 2.

[0033] The thickness of the limiting aluminum gasket 4 is 4mm. The outer periphery of the U-shaped aluminum alloy hanger 1 is provided with a serrated aluminum alloy gasket 5. The serrated aluminum alloy gasket 5 and the U-shaped aluminum alloy hanger 1 are fixed by the first stainless steel bolt group 10.

[0034] The first stainless steel bolt group 10 has a specification of M12*50, the second stainless steel bolt group 11 has a specification of M12*180, and the third stainless steel bolt group 12 has a specification of M10*40. This is a preferred solution.

[0035] First, connect the C-shaped aluminum alloy hanger 2 to the load-bearing aluminum alloy square bar 6 using the second set of M12*180 stainless steel bolts 11. Then, connect the U-shaped aluminum alloy hanger 1 to the C-shaped aluminum alloy hanger 2 using the first set of M12*50 stainless steel bolts 12, but do not tighten the nuts. After installation on the wall, the position of the C-shaped aluminum alloy hanger 2 needs to be adjusted. A 4mm thick limiting aluminum washer 4 needs to be installed on the right side of the C-shaped aluminum alloy hanger 2 above the load-bearing aluminum square bar.

[0036] After the on-site measurement and layout are completed, the U-shaped aluminum alloy hanger 1 and the grooved embedded part 9 are connected by T-bolts. The installation dimensions of the U-shaped aluminum alloy hanger 1 in the horizontal and left-right directions can be adjusted.

[0037] Based on the measurement and layout results, adjust the inlet and outlet dimensions of the C-type aluminum alloy hanger 2, and tighten the connecting bolts after adjustment;

[0038] When the unit panels are processed in the factory, the L-shaped aluminum alloy hanger 3 is installed on the side of the aluminum alloy unit column 7. When the unit panels are hoisted on site, simply hang the L-shaped aluminum alloy hanger 3 into the slot of the C-shaped aluminum alloy hanger 2, and then rotate the nut to adjust the elevation of the panel.

[0039] The small-gap side-mounted unitized curtain wall support system described in this article can accommodate larger structural errors. Without altering any components, the support's position adjustment can reach ±35mm. (See appendix) Figure 4 Appendix Figure 5 As shown. For special locations with particularly large structural errors, the U-shaped aluminum alloy bracket 1 can be replaced with a hot-dip galvanized U-shaped steel bracket. This allows for a support adjustment dimension of ±70mm, and the minimum gap between the unit column and the main structure can be reduced to as small as 10mm. See attached diagram. Figure 6 Appendix Figure 7 As shown.

[0040] The above-mentioned components are all existing technologies or existing achievable technologies. Their working principles, dimensions and models are irrelevant to the functions of this application, so they will not be described in detail.

[0041] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
