Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass curtain walls, specifically a frameless glass curtain wall fixing structure. Background Technology

[0002] Frameless glass curtain walls are made by bonding glass to an aluminum frame with structural adhesive, so that the aluminum frame is completely hidden behind the glass, creating a large area of ​​all-glass mirror effect, which is why they are favored by architects. However, frameless glass curtain walls rely entirely on the structural adhesive for strength. Once the structural adhesive fails, the frameless glass curtain wall is prone to falling off and causing injury. Therefore, building standards restrict the use of frameless glass curtain walls.

[0003] Exposed-frame glass curtain walls use pressure plates to fix the glass to the aluminum frame. The mechanical fixing method makes the structure safe and reliable, and its use is not restricted by the building standards. However, the exposed aluminum frame of the exposed-frame glass curtain wall makes the dividing line between the glass obvious, which destroys the effect of the large area of ​​all-glass mirror of the building.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, a search revealed Chinese patent CN220790249U, which discloses a frameless glass curtain wall fixing structure. The structure comprises a frameless glass curtain wall consisting of at least one aluminum horizontal frame, at least one aluminum vertical frame, and multiple connected glass panels. It also includes at least one fixing element, comprising a decorative pressure plate and at least one connecting bolt. A seam is provided between adjacent glass panels. The connecting bolt passes through the decorative pressure plate and the seam and connects to the aluminum horizontal or vertical frame, causing the decorative pressure plate to press and fix the glass panels to the aluminum horizontal or vertical frame.

[0005] While the aforementioned device can use structural adhesive and mechanical force to fix the glass panels on the basis of the hidden frame, achieving a full glass mirror effect while improving the safety of the frameless glass curtain wall, in actual use, there are fasteners at the central connection between the four glass curtain walls. Glass curtain walls usually pursue a simple and transparent appearance. The presence of fasteners will create obvious separation and protrusions between the glass, breaking the continuity and integrity of the glass surface and affecting the smoothness and simplicity of the building's appearance.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a frameless glass curtain wall fixing structure, including a fixing structure body 2, on which four sets of glass sheets 1 are respectively installed. A locking plate 21 is provided on the fixing structure body 2. An isolation strip 22 is fixedly provided on the surface of the locking plate 21. A horizontal fixing profile 25 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the locking plate 21. A locking groove 23 is opened on the surface of the locking plate 21. A vertical fixing profile 26 is fixedly provided in the middle of the horizontal fixing profile 25. The vertical fixing profile 26 and the horizontal fixing profile 25 fix the glass curtain wall.

[0025] Working principle: In actual use, the ends of the four sets of glass plates 1 can be respectively snapped into the four sets of locking grooves 23 on the surface of the glass plate 1. Rubber pads are adhered to the surface of each of the four sets of locking grooves 23, and the glass plates 1 cover the rubber pads, completing the flexible connection and preventing damage to the glass plates 1. After the four sets of glass plates 1 are installed, the buckle 20 is held in hand. The buckle 20 is a circular structure made of acrylic material, and a screw-in cylinder is fixedly installed on the surface of the buckle 20. The screw-in cylinder passes through the central hole in the middle of the locking disc 21 and is screwed and fixed with the anti-locking bolt 201. Through the setting of the buckle 20, the connection can be made more secure. The connection points between the four sets of glass panels 1 are locked and secured to ensure stability during installation. The clips 20 are transparent, circular, and small in diameter, offering no significant obstruction when observing the glass curtain wall from a distance. Locking and securing the four sets of glass panels 1 with clips 20 effectively ensures the stability of the glass panels 1 during installation and use, allowing them to better withstand external forces such as wind loads and seismic forces. This reduces the risk of loosening, displacement, or even detachment of the glass panels 1, improving the overall safety of the glass curtain wall. The transparent material of the clips 20 also ensures no significant obstruction when observed from a distance. The clips achieve an invisible frame fixation effect, preserving the simple and transparent appearance of the glass curtain wall to the greatest extent possible. This ensures a smooth and complete building exterior, without disrupting the continuity and integrity of the glass surface due to the fasteners, meeting the high demands of modern architecture for the aesthetics and transparency of glass curtain walls. Because the clips are 20mm transparent and have a small diameter, their light obstruction is minimal, thus not significantly affecting the light transmission performance of the glass curtain wall and ensuring ample natural light indoors. Simultaneously, they do not obstruct the view outwards through the glass curtain wall, creating a closer visual connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The design of the clip 20 is usually simple, and the installation process is relatively easy. It can quickly connect and fix the glass panels 1 together, improving installation efficiency, shortening the construction cycle, and reducing installation costs. Moreover, in later maintenance, if it is necessary to replace a glass panel 1, the clip 20 can be easily disassembled and installed. The circular clip 20 has a relatively regular shape and a small diameter, making it suitable for various specifications and types of glass curtain walls. Whether it is a partial glass curtain wall of a small building or a large area of ​​glass curtain wall of a large commercial building, the appropriate clip 20 can be selected for fixing according to actual needs, which has strong versatility and adaptability.

[0026] The horizontal fixing profile 25 and the vertical fixing profile 26 are combined to form a cross-shaped glass curtain wall fixing frame. The glass curtain wall is fixed and supported behind it by the cross-shaped glass curtain wall fixing frame. The horizontal fixing profile 25 and the vertical fixing profile 26 are fixedly connected by four sets of arc-shaped reinforcing strips 27. The cross-shaped glass curtain wall fixing provides bidirectional support, which can effectively distribute the load borne by the glass curtain wall, including the weight of the glass itself, wind load and possible seismic force, making the curtain wall more stable and reducing the risk of deformation and damage.

[0027] Four sets of arc-shaped reinforcing strips 27 further enhance the connection strength between the horizontal and vertical profiles, improve the stability and rigidity of the entire frame, better cope with various external forces, and ensure the safety of the glass curtain wall during long-term use; the cross-shaped frame structure is relatively simple, making it easy for construction workers to assemble and install on site; the combination method of the horizontal and vertical fixing profiles is more intuitive, easy to position and connect, which can improve installation efficiency and shorten the construction cycle; the frame provides comprehensive back support for the glass curtain wall, which can evenly distribute pressure, avoid the glass from cracking or being damaged due to excessive local stress, and extend the service life of the glass.
