Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building envelope systems, and more particularly to a curtain wall-like system used in window-wall structural systems. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of modern architecture, glass curtain walls, as a highly expressive and modern form of exterior wall decoration, are widely used in various high-end commercial buildings, office buildings, and landmark buildings. Traditional glass curtain wall systems have certain limitations in design and construction. From a structural layout perspective, the glass is usually located on the same plane, and its installation method is relatively simple. Either it is completely suspended on the outside of the main structure, relying on complex suspension components to support the weight of the glass and resist external forces such as wind loads; or it is completely embedded in the main structure opening, with the glass fixed and limited by frame profiles.
[0003] To achieve a full glass facade, the construction process necessitates the use of various profiles for transitions and splicing. The numerous connection points between these profiles, coupled with variations in their specifications, materials, and on-site installation precision, make it difficult to control the installation results. This easily leads to uneven gaps and inconsistent joint heights, significantly compromising the intended integrity and purity of the building facade. Furthermore, the complex transition and splicing processes involve more construction steps. From material preparation and on-site cutting to precise installation and positioning, each step requires meticulous operation. Even slight errors necessitate rework and adjustments. This not only prolongs the construction period and drastically increases labor costs but also introduces uncertainty into the final appearance of the facade, making it difficult to perfectly match the architect's design vision and meet contemporary aesthetic demands for high-quality architectural aesthetics. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a curtain wall-like system for window-wall structure systems, aiming to solve the technical problems of complicated construction procedures and uncontrollable facade effects in the suspension construction of full-facade glass curtain walls.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a curtain wall-like system for use in window-wall structural systems. The curtain wall-like system includes multiple glass panels, each of which is held and fixed by vertical columns and horizontal profiles. The profiles include beams and pressure plates. Each beam includes a fixed end for the window wall and an extension end extending outward from the head of the fixed end. The end of the extension end has a protruding connecting boss. Along the length of the beam, one side of the connecting boss has an L-shaped first fixing groove, and the other side has an L-shaped second fixing groove. The pressure plate presses against the top of the connecting boss to clamp and fix the glass panel. The first fixing groove and the second fixing groove are offset from each other.
[0006] Optionally, in one embodiment, the pressure plate includes a pressing assembly and a cover plate, the pressing assembly is bolted to the connecting boss, and the cover plate and the pressing assembly are provided with a first snap-fit structure, the cover plate being snapped onto the outside of the pressing assembly.
[0007] Optionally, in one embodiment, in the length direction of the crossbeam, the pressing assembly has a first adhesive strip fixing groove at the side wall end facing the first fixing groove and a second adhesive strip fixing groove at the side wall end facing the second fixing groove.
[0008] Optionally, in one embodiment, the first adhesive strip fixing groove and the second fixing groove are arranged in parallel.
[0009] Optionally, in one embodiment, the first adhesive strip fixing groove and the second fixing groove are misaligned.
[0010] Optionally, in one embodiment, a third adhesive strip fixing groove is provided on the side wall of the first fixing groove, parallel to the first adhesive strip fixing groove, and / or a fourth adhesive strip fixing groove is provided on the side wall of the second fixing groove, parallel to the second adhesive strip fixing groove.
[0011] Optionally, in one embodiment, at the connection position between the connecting boss and the crimping assembly, the connecting boss and the crimping assembly are provided with a pair of second snap-fit structures.
[0012] Optionally, in one embodiment, the cover plate encloses the crimping assembly, and the cover plate has a limiting strip inside, the limiting strip being used to limit the width of the crimping assembly inserted into the cover plate.
[0013] Optionally, in one embodiment, there are two limiting strips, and the two limiting strips are arranged in parallel.
[0014] Optionally, in one embodiment, the two ends of the crossbeam are closed cavities, and the end positions are connected by a core splicing method.
[0015] In the technical solution provided by this utility model, the horizontal profile is extended, and a connecting boss is designed at the end of the extended end. The upper and lower sides of the connecting boss are staggered with a first fixing groove and a second fixing groove. After the pressure plate is pressed, the glass curtain wall panel in the first or second fixing groove can be clamped and fixed.

[0023] Instruction manual illustrations Figure 1 , Figure 2 The outside side of the window is marked as the outside side.
[0024] This application provides an embodiment of a curtain wall-like system for use in a window-wall structure system. The curtain wall-like system includes multiple glass panels, each of which is horizontally clamped and fixed by transverse profiles. Please refer to... Figure 1The horizontal profile includes a beam and a pressure plate 200. The beam includes a window wall fixing end 100 and an extension end extending outward from the head of the window wall fixing end 100. The end of the extension end has a protruding connecting boss 110. Along the length of the beam, one side of the connecting boss 110 has an L-shaped first fixing groove 120 and the other side has an L-shaped second fixing groove 130. The pressure plate 200 presses against the top of the connecting boss 110 to clamp and fix the glass curtain wall panel. The first fixing groove 120 and the second fixing groove 130 are staggered. The first fixing groove 120 and the second fixing groove 130 are the upper and lower glass grooves, respectively. The asymmetrical structural design allows one side of the glass to be located inside the window opening and the other side to be located outside the window wall, thus achieving a full glass facade effect, and the beam size can achieve the effect of a similar ordinary curtain wall.
[0025] In this embodiment, it is used with Figure 1 The right side of the cross-section is outdoors. One side of a glass curtain wall panel can be clamped and fixed within the first fixing groove 120, and one side of another glass curtain wall panel can be clamped and fixed within the second fixing groove 130. At the edge of the curtain wall, the first fixing groove 120 or the second fixing groove 130 located at the edge is generally sealed with an alloy connection to prevent the formation of splicing gaps on the curtain wall and to prevent dust or rainwater from accumulating in the first fixing groove 120 or the second fixing groove 130, creating cleaning dead zones.
[0026] This embodiment modifies the structure of the horizontal profile by designing a window-wall fixing end 100 and an extension end extending outward from the head of the window-wall fixing end 100. A connecting boss 110 is designed at the end of the extension end. The upper and lower sides of the connecting boss 110 are staggered with a first fixing groove 120 and a second fixing groove 130. After the pressure plate 200 presses in, the glass curtain panels within the first fixing groove 120 or the second fixing groove 130 are clamped and fixed. The horizontal profile is fixed using window fixing pieces, making alignment between adjacent glass curtain panels simple and convenient during installation. The pressure plate 200 simply presses them in, simplifying construction and producing a good facade effect on the outside of the curtain wall. Simultaneously, the fixing method of the horizontal profile window fixing pieces expands the applicable locations for this type of curtain wall, making it suitable for residential buildings, hospitals, and other places where glass curtain walls are not permitted, thus broadening its application scope.
[0027] In one embodiment, a reinforcing rib is provided in the extension end of the beam profile. The extension end is relatively wide. After the window wall fixing end 100 and the extension end are fixed on the window wall structure, the glass curtain panel may deform under the action of gravity due to the pressure of the connecting boss 110. The reinforcing rib strengthens the profile of the extension end, so that the horizontal profile does not deform when installing large-mass glass curtain panels, which is conducive to the neatness of the vertical surface of the glass curtain panel.
[0028] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the pressure plate 200 includes a pressing assembly 210 and a cover plate 220. The pressing assembly 210 is bolted to the connecting boss 110. The cover plate 220 and the pressing assembly 210 are provided with a first snap-fit structure, and the cover plate 220 is fastened to the outside of the pressing assembly 210. The pressure plate 200 is designed as two parts: the pressing assembly 210 and the cover plate 220. During the installation of the glass curtain panels, the bottom edge of the upper glass curtain panel is placed into the first fixing groove 120, and the lower glass curtain panel is placed into the second fixing groove 130. The pressing assembly 210 abuts against the connecting boss 110 and is reinforced by bolts, so that the two glass curtain panels are clamped and fixed into the first fixing groove 120 and the second fixing groove 130, respectively. The glass curtain panel positioning and installation method is simple and convenient. After the pressing component 210 is fixed, the cover plate 220 can be directly fastened to the pressing component 210 through the first snap-fit structure, making the outer surface of the curtain wall flat, smooth and beautiful.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, along the length of the crossbeam, the pressing assembly 210 has a first adhesive strip fixing groove 2101 at its side wall end facing the first fixing groove 120 and a second adhesive strip fixing groove 2102 at its side wall end facing the second fixing groove 130. On the side wall of the first fixing groove 120, parallel to the first adhesive strip fixing groove 2101, a third adhesive strip fixing groove 140 is provided; on the side wall of the second fixing groove 130, parallel to the second adhesive strip fixing groove 2102, a fourth adhesive strip fixing groove 150 is provided. The first adhesive strip fixing groove 2101, the second adhesive strip fixing groove 2102, the third adhesive strip fixing groove 140, and the fourth adhesive strip fixing groove 150 are respectively used to insert adhesive strips on one side, preventing direct contact between the glass curtain panel and the horizontal profile, thereby protecting the glass curtain panel and preventing surface damage from the horizontal profile.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the first adhesive strip fixing groove 2101 and the second adhesive strip fixing groove 2102 are staggered in the width direction of the beam. That is, at the corresponding position of the pressing component 210 and the first fixing groove 120, the pressing component 210 protrudes towards the side wall of the first fixing groove 120. By changing the structure of the pressing component 210, a larger adjustable space difference can be ensured between the upper and lower glass curtain panels, which facilitates the combination selection of glass curtain panels of various types, materials and thicknesses, and facilitates the formation of the designed facade effect.
[0031] refer to Figure 2 In one embodiment, the first adhesive strip fixing groove 2101 and the second adhesive strip fixing groove 2102 are arranged in parallel in the width direction of the crossbeam.
[0032] refer to Figure 2In one embodiment, a third adhesive strip fixing groove 140 is provided only on the side wall of the first fixing groove 120, parallel to the first adhesive strip fixing groove 2101. In this embodiment, the second fixing groove 130 is closed and not used to fix the glass curtain wall.
[0033] In one embodiment, at the connection position between the connecting boss 110 and the crimping assembly 210, the connecting boss 110 and the crimping assembly 210 are provided with a pair of second snap-fit structures. One side of the glass curtain panel is placed into the first fixing groove 120, and one side of the other glass curtain panel is placed into the second fixing groove 130. The second snap-fit structures enable the crimping assembly 210 and the connecting boss 110 to form a simple connection, which can directly determine the connection position between the crimping assembly 210 and the connecting boss 110, align the connecting screw holes, facilitate the subsequent screwing in of bolts, facilitate the tightening construction by personnel, and reduce the construction difficulty.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a cover plate 220 encloses a crimping assembly 210. A limiting strip 2201 is provided within the cover plate 220 to limit the width of the crimping assembly 210 inserted into the cover plate 220. There are two limiting strips 2201, arranged parallel vertically. The limiting strips 2201 ensure that the first snap-fit structure is fully engaged, guaranteeing that the elongated cover plate 220 is fully and completely engaged with the crimping assembly 210.
[0035] In one embodiment, the two ends of the beam are closed cavities, and the end points are connected using a core-joint splice. The horizontal profiles used in curtain wall-like systems within window-wall structural systems are easy to install and help ensure horizontal straightness.
[0036] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Under the concept of this utility model, the technical features of the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of different aspects of this utility model as described above.
