Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, specifically to an application. Background Technology

[0002] A building curtain wall refers to an external building envelope or decorative structure composed of a supporting structural system and panels, which has a certain displacement capacity relative to the main structure or can adapt to the displacement of the main structure, and does not share the load of the main structure. The on-site installation process of a framed curtain wall includes the installation of embedded parts, the installation of horizontal and vertical joists, the installation of curtain wall panels, and the sealing of gaps. Glass is one of the most widely used curtain wall panels; due to its brittle nature, one of the safety measures for curtain wall glass is to use laminated glass.

[0003] Traditionally, curtain wall beams are semi-enclosed beams, which are then sealed with panels to cover the beam brackets and screws. This installation method usually involves installing each component of the curtain wall one by one. Because laminated glass is too heavy, the traditional installation method is too laborious. Furthermore, during subsequent maintenance, each component needs to be removed one by one, which wastes time and results in low maintenance efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0044] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] This embodiment provides a combined small-unit curtain wall system, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes: a base frame 1, a shadow box frame structure 2, a support structure 4, and a pressing structure 5. In this embodiment, the curtain wall glass to be installed is an arc-shaped curved glass 3, with its convex surface facing the wall surface and its concave surface facing outward.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the base frame 1 includes columns 11 and beams 12, both made of stainless steel or fine steel. The columns 11 are vertically positioned between two curved glass panes 3. The beams 12 are horizontally positioned on the side of the columns 11 and fixed to the columns 11 by stainless steel beam 12 connectors, which can be angle steel, and are fixed to the beams 12 or columns 11 by bolts or welding. The beams 12 are designed with the same curved structure as the curved glass panes 3. The curtain wall system proposed in this solution sets the beams 12 with the same curved structure as the curved glass panes 3, and encloses the beams 12. The enclosed profiles have a high utilization rate of mechanical properties, which can improve material utilization and reduce curtain wall costs.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the support structure 4 includes a first support member 41 and a second support member 42. The first support member 41 is specifically an L-shaped angle steel, and several first support members 41 are provided. The several first support members 41 are arranged along... Figure 1 The first support member 41 is fixed to the outer surface of the beam 12 away from the wall in a left-right direction. Specifically, the vertical part of the first support member 41 is fixed to the beam 12, and the horizontal part extends away from the wall to provide support. The second support member 42 is a glass support block, and the end of the second support member 42 near the wall is welded and fixed to the column 11. The supporting end of the second support member 42 is located at the position of the horizontal supporting part of the first support member 41 away from the wall.

[0049] The shadow box frame structure 2 includes: a vertical member 21, a horizontal member 22, a first mounting component 23, and a backing plate 24, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the horizontal member 22 and the backing plate 24 of the shadow box are designed with the same curved structure as the curved glass 3. The vertical member 21 of the shadow box is vertically installed on the side of the column 11. From a top view, the vertical member 21 of the shadow box has a V-shaped structure, with its open end facing the column 11. A shadow box frame structure 2 includes two vertical members 21 of the shadow box, which are symmetrically arranged. The horizontal member 22 of the shadow box is installed between the two vertical members 21 of the shadow box, and the two ends of the horizontal member 22 abut against the opposite ends of the two vertical members 21 of the shadow box away from the wall. The first mounting member 23 is installed in the angle between the horizontal member 22 and the vertical member 21 of the shadow box. One side of the first mounting member 23 is fixedly connected to the horizontal member 22 of the shadow box by bolts, and the other side of the first mounting member 23 is also fixedly connected to the vertical member 21 of the shadow box by bolts. The side end of the backing plate 24 is connected to the end of the vertical member 21 of the shadow box near the wall. Specifically, the two sides of the backing plate 24 are fixed to the ends of the vertical members 21 of the shadow box near the wall by structural adhesive or bolts. The two vertical members 21 of the shadow box, one horizontal member 22 of the shadow box, and the backing plate 24 form a frame structure. The ends of the vertical members 21 of the shadow box away from the wall and the ends of the horizontal members 22 of the shadow box away from the wall form an arc-shaped mounting surface. The curved glass 3 is fixed to the mounting surface by structural adhesive so that the curved glass 3 is fixed to the shadow box frame structure 2.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the pressing structure 5 includes: an adapter 51, a pressing component 52, a threaded fastener 53, a cover plate 54, and a decorative panel 55. The adapter 51 is fixed to the side of the column 11 away from the wall. The adapter 51 includes a first mounting part 511 and a second mounting part 512. The first mounting part 511 is located in the middle of the adapter 51. Two second mounting parts 512 are provided, one on each side of the first mounting part 511. The length of the first mounting part 511 in the direction away from the wall is greater than the length of the second mounting part 512. The pressing component 52 is connected to the first mounting part 511 and is used to press against the curved glass 3 on both sides. The threaded fastener 53 passes through the pressing component 52 and is connected to the adapter 51, which can fix the pressing component 52 to the adapter 51. The cover plate 54 is installed on the side of the pressing component 52 away from the wall, and the decorative panel 55 is installed on the side of the cover plate 54 away from the wall.

[0051] When assembling the small unit curtain wall system, the horizontal beam 12 is fixed to the column 11 using stainless steel horizontal beam 12 connectors. Several first support members 41 are fixed horizontally at intervals on the horizontal beam 12. Second support members 42 and adapter members 51 are welded to the column 11. Assembling the shadow box frame structure 2: Two shadow box vertical members 21 are placed symmetrically at intervals, and the shadow box horizontal member 22 is placed between the two shadow box vertical members 21. The two ends of the shadow box horizontal member 22 abut against the opposite side of the two shadow box vertical members 21 away from the wall. The first mounting member 23 is installed in the angle between the shadow box horizontal member 22 and the shadow box vertical member 21. One side of the first mounting member 23 is fixedly connected to the shadow box horizontal member 22 by bolts, and the other side of the first mounting member 23 is also fixedly connected to the shadow box vertical member 21 by bolts. Place the backing plate 24 between the two vertical members 21 of the shadow box on the side closest to the wall, and use structural adhesive or bolts to fix both sides of the backing plate 24 to the ends of the vertical members 21 of the shadow box on both sides closest to the wall. Then use structural adhesive to fix the curved glass 3 to the mounting surface of the shadow box frame structure 2.

[0052] The shadow box frame structure 2 and the curved glass 3 are placed directly between the two columns 11. The horizontal support 22 of the shadow box is placed on the first support member 41. The horizontal support part of the first support member 41 supports the shadow box frame structure 2. At this time, the second support member 42 is located below the curved glass 3 corresponding to the shadow box frame structure 2 and is connected to the bottom of the curved glass 3. The second support member 42 supports the curved glass 3.

[0053] As installation proceeds, each column 11, except for the edge sections, is fitted with a shadow box frame structure 2 and curved glass 3 on both sides. For example... Figure 1As shown, the two sides of the column 11 are adjacent to two vertical shadow box members 21 in the shadow box frame structure 2. The V-shaped opening of the vertical shadow box member 21 faces the column 11, and the second mounting part 512 abuts against the inner wall surface of the side wall of the vertical shadow box member 21 near the curved glass 3. Specifically, the rubber strip is fixed on the second mounting part 512, and the friction surface of the rubber strip abuts against the vertical shadow box member 21. Two curved glass panes 3 are located on either side of the first mounting part 511, with a gap between them. A pressing member 52 is installed, and a threaded fastener 53 passes through the pressing member 52 to fix it to the first mounting part 511. The two sides of the pressing member 52 press against the curved glass panes 3 on either side of the adapter 51. Rubber strips are also fixed to both sides of the pressing member 52, with the friction surfaces of the rubber strips abutting against the side of the curved glass pane 3 furthest from the wall. Rotating the threaded fastener 53 moves it towards the wall, thereby causing the pressing member 52 to move towards the second mounting part 511. The directional movement of part 512, utilizing the self-locking function of the threaded fastener 53, causes the pressing part 52 and the second mounting part 512 to clamp the vertical material 21 of the shadow box and the curved glass 3, thereby fixing the shadow box frame structure 2 and the curved glass 3. The shape of the inner wall surface of the cover plate 54 near the wall is adapted to the shape of the inner wall surface of the pressing part 52 away from the wall, allowing the cover plate 54 to be closed on the side of the pressing part 52 away from the wall. The shape of the inner wall surface of the decorative panel 55 near the wall is adapted to the shape of the inner wall surface of the cover plate 54 away from the wall, allowing the decorative panel 55 to be closed on the side of the cover plate 54 away from the wall. Installation complete.

[0054] With the above setup, the shadow box frame structure 2 and the curved glass 3 can be manufactured and assembled in the workshop, effectively controlling the finished product dimensions, increasing processing accuracy and size, and resulting in a simpler, more aesthetically pleasing, and elegant appearance while ensuring curtain wall performance. It also reduces on-site workload. During installation, simply place the shadow box frame structure 2 and the curved glass 3 onto the supporting structure 4, and then use the pressing structure 5 to secure them together, further reducing on-site work and making installation easier compared to existing technologies. For later maintenance, the pressing structure 5 can be removed, allowing the shadow box frame structure 2 and the curved glass 3 to be disassembled as a whole for convenient maintenance.

[0055] In other possible implementations, the decorative panel 55 and the cover plate 54 can be glued together first and then installed on the press-fit part 52.

[0056] In this embodiment, the combined small unit curtain wall system further includes foam rods 61 and an adhesive layer 62. The adhesive layer 62 is a sealant. The foam rods 61 are adapted to be placed between the curved glass 3 and the first mounting part 511. The foam rods 61, the curved glass 3, and the first mounting part 511 form a fixed cavity, and the adhesive layer 62 is adapted to fill the fixed cavity. The adhesive layer 62 ensures the airtightness of the entire curtain wall system.

[0057] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
