[0002] A curtain wall is a non-load-bearing exterior wall covering of a building, hung on the building's walls like a curtain. It is a lightweight wall structure with decorative effects commonly used in modern large and high-rise buildings. With the rapid development of the construction industry, people have increasingly higher requirements for building appearance, and curtain walls with unique shapes are constantly emerging. Therefore, irregularly shaped curtain walls are becoming more and more popular.

[0003] The irregular-shaped curtain wall unit is a single unit within the overall curtain wall system. These units are precisely manufactured and assembled in the factory before being transported to the construction site for installation. They are then fixed to the vertical beams of the wall using fasteners. Due to their unique structure, the installation of these units requires high precision. If the mounting surface of the vertical beam does not face the unit, it will be impossible to secure the unit to the beam. Forcing the unit to the beam can also cause deformation, affecting the overall appearance of the curtain wall system.

[0004] It is evident that existing technologies still need improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a non-standard curtain wall unit structure that can reduce the installation difficulty of non-standard curtain wall units.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A non-standard curtain wall unit structure includes a decorative panel, two side beams on the back of the decorative panel, two horizontal beams on the back of the decorative panel, and several ribs on the back of the decorative panel. The two horizontal beams and several ribs are all located between the two side beams, and all ribs are located between the two horizontal beams. Several first hinges are provided on the outer side of the side beams, and the first hinges are used to fix them to the wall. The end of each rib is connected to the inner side of the side beam through a second hinge.

[0008] Furthermore, the decorative panel is provided with flanges on all four sides.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes reinforcing ribs, which are used to connect the two crossbeams and all the ribs.

[0010] Furthermore, the side beam has an L-shaped cross-section, and multiple first screws are riveted to the decorative panel, with the first screws connected to one side of the side beam.

[0011] Furthermore, one of the second hinges corresponds to one of the first hinges, and the first hinge is connected to the side beam and the second hinge by fasteners.

[0012] Furthermore, the end of each of the crossbeams is connected to the side beam via a first corner bracket, and the crossbeam has a first notch for avoiding the side beam.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the crossbeams is connected to the decorative panel via a second corner bracket, and there is a gap between the middle of the crossbeam and the inner surface of the decorative panel.

[0014] Furthermore, each of the ribs has a second notch at its end for avoiding the side beam.

[0015] Furthermore, each of the ribs is connected to the decorative panel via a third corner bracket, and there is a gap between the middle of the rib and the inner surface of the decorative panel.

[0016] Beneficial effects:

[0017] This utility model provides an irregularly shaped curtain wall unit structure, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] (1) By fixing two side beams, two horizontal beams and multiple ribs to the inner surface of the decorative panel, the structural stability of the irregular curtain wall unit is ensured; and the side beams are fixed to the vertical beams of the wall by the first hinge, which can make up for the defects of the vertical beams having installation errors, effectively reduce the installation difficulty of the irregular curtain wall unit, ensure the installation stability of the irregular curtain wall unit and prevent deformation; (2) The ribs are connected to the side beams by the second hinge.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] This utility model provides an irregularly shaped curtain wall unit structure. To make the purpose, technical solution, and effects of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the following describes this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or a specific orientational structure and operation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, "first" and "second" are only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 9As shown, this utility model provides an irregular curtain wall unit structure, including a decorative panel 1, two side beams 2 disposed on the back of the decorative panel 1, two horizontal beams 3 disposed on the back of the decorative panel 1, and several ribs 4 disposed on the back of the decorative panel 1. The two horizontal beams 3 and the multiple ribs 4 are all disposed between the two side beams 2, and all ribs 4 are located between the two horizontal beams 3. Several first hinges 5 are provided on the outer side of the side beams 2, and the first hinges 5 are used to fix them to the wall. The end of each rib 4 is connected to the inner side of the side beam 2 through a second hinge 6.

[0032] According to the design requirements, the decorative panel 1 is processed into the required shape. Two side beams 2 and two cross beams 3 are used to increase the structural strength around the decorative panel 1. Multiple ribs 4 are also installed to further enhance the structural stability of the decorative panel 1, ensuring that the irregularly shaped curtain wall unit is not easily deformed. Furthermore, due to the unique and irregular structure of the irregularly shaped curtain wall unit, the corresponding sides of the decorative panel 1 are not parallel, meaning the distance between the two sides of the decorative panel 1 varies. To improve the ease of assembly of the irregularly shaped curtain wall unit, the end of each rib 4 is connected to the side beam 2 via a second hinge 6 to adjust the installation angle of the rib 4, ensuring that each rib 4 can be placed between the two side beams 2. Compared to existing technologies, there is no need to precisely cut the length of each rib 4, allowing each rib 4 to be set perpendicular to the two side beams 2, thus ensuring the stability of the rib 4 installation.

[0033] When assembling the vertical beams onto the wall, one side of the first hinge 5 is fixed to the side beam 2, and the other side is fixed to the vertical beam. The first hinge 5 allows the installation surface of the vertical beam to not be directly opposite the side beam 2. That is, when the vertical beam has installation errors, the other side of the first hinge 5 can be fixed to the installation surface of the vertical beam, ensuring the stable installation of the irregular curtain wall unit and preventing deformation.

[0034] The aforementioned decorative panel 1 is an aluminum plate, which is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to process. It can be made into different shapes, and the aluminum plate can also be sprayed with various colors to increase the aesthetics of the decorative panel 1.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, see [reference] Figure 1 , 2 The decorative panel 1 has flanges 11 on all four sides, which serve to shield the side beams 2 and cross beams 3 and prevent the hands from being scratched when gripping the decorative panel 1, thereby improving the safety of installation.

[0036] Optionally, the flange 11 is integrally bent with the decorative panel 1, making it easy to process.

[0037] Optionally, the flange 11 is fixed to the perimeter of the decorative panel 1 by welding, which can be processed into decorative panels 1 with various irregular structures.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, see [reference] Figure 3 It also includes reinforcing ribs 7, which are used to connect the two horizontal beams 3 and all the ribs 4 to further enhance the stability of the installation of the horizontal beams 3 and ribs 4, thereby improving the structural strength of the irregular curtain wall unit and ensuring the stability of the irregular curtain wall unit structure, making it less prone to deformation.

[0039] Specifically, see Figure 8 , 9 The reinforcing rib 7 is connected to the crossbeam 3 and the rib 4 respectively through multiple fourth corner brackets 71. The fourth corner brackets 71 are fixedly connected to the reinforcing rib 7, the crossbeam 3 and the rib 4 by self-tapping screws, which is easy to operate and highly flexible.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the side beam 2 has an L-shaped cross-section, and multiple first screws are riveted to the decorative panel 1, with each first screw connected to one side of the side beam 2. Specifically, spring washers and nuts are screwed onto the first screws to achieve a fixed connection between the decorative panel 1 and the side beam 2.

[0041] The other side of the side beam 2 is connected to the first hinge 5 by fastener 51 to achieve a fixed connection between the first hinge 5 and the side beam 2.

[0042] Since both the first hinge 5 and the second hinge 6 are installed on the same side of the side beam 2, to avoid having multiple mounting holes on the side beam 2, specifically, refer to... Figure 6 , 7 One of the second hinges 6 corresponds to one of the first hinges 5. The first hinge 5 is connected to the side beam 2 and the second hinge 6 by fasteners 51. The fasteners 51 include screws, washers, spring washers and nuts to achieve a stable connection between the first hinge 5, the side beam 2 and the second hinge 6.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, see [reference] Figure 4 , 5 Each of the crossbeams 3 is connected to the side beam 2 at its end via a first angle bracket 31. The first angle bracket 31 is connected to the crossbeam 3 and the side beam 2 via second screws, thereby fixing the crossbeam 3 and the side beam 2. Preferably, each crossbeam 3 has two symmetrically arranged first angle brackets 31 at its end, which are connected to the side beam 2 to further ensure the stability of the crossbeam 3 installation.

[0044] In the above, two horizontal beams 3 and two side beams 2 are spliced ​​together to form a rectangular frame, and the rectangular frame is located around the decorative panel 1. The first notch 32 on the horizontal beam 3 is used to avoid the side beams 2, so that the horizontal beam 3 is closer to the decorative panel 1, which provides good support for the perimeter of the decorative panel 1 and can ensure the structural stability of the irregular curtain wall unit.

[0045] Preferably, the crossbeam 3 has a U-shaped cross-section, which is characterized by high strength and lightweight.

[0046] Due to the structural design requirements of the curtain wall system, the decorative panel 1 is not a flat aluminum plate, but a curved panel, which makes it impossible for the various positions of the beam 3 to be tightly attached to the inner surface of the decorative panel 1.

[0047] See Figure 4 , 9 To achieve the connection between the decorative panel 1 and the crossbeam 3, each crossbeam 3 is connected to the decorative panel 1 via a second angle bracket 33, and there is a gap between the middle of the crossbeam 3 and the inner surface of the decorative panel 1. Specifically, a third screw is riveted to the decorative panel 1, and the third screw is connected to one side of the second angle bracket 33. The other side of the second angle bracket 33 is connected to the crossbeam 3 via a fourth screw, so as to achieve a stable connection between the crossbeam 3 and the decorative panel 1.

[0048] Because the decorative panel 1 is easily deformable, a gap is provided between the middle of the crossbeam 3 and the inner surface of the decorative panel 1. This ensures that the shape of the decorative panel 1 will not change due to the installation position of the crossbeam 3 during assembly, so that the shape of the assembled decorative panel 1 can meet the design requirements.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, see [reference] Figure 6 , 7 Each of the ribs 4 has a second notch 41 at its end to avoid the side beam 2, so that the rib 4 is closer to the decorative panel 1, further improving the stability of the irregular curtain wall unit structure.

[0050] Further, see Figure 6 , 9 Each of the ribs 4 is connected to the decorative panel 1 via a third angle bracket 42, and there is a gap between the middle of the rib 4 and the inner surface of the decorative panel 1. Specifically, a fifth screw is riveted to the decorative panel 1, and the fifth screw is connected to one side of the third angle bracket 42. The other side of the third angle bracket 42 is connected to the rib 4 via a sixth screw to achieve a stable connection between the crossbeam 3 and the decorative panel 1.

[0051] In actual production, the rib 4 is connected to the decorative panel 1 through multiple third angle brackets 42, so that there is a gap between the middle of the rib 4 and the inner surface of the decorative panel 1. Compared with the prior art, it is not necessary to process the rib 4 according to the curvature of each position on the decorative panel 1 so that the rib 4 and the decorative panel 1 can fit together to achieve a stable connection. Therefore, it has the characteristics of easy production and high assembly efficiency.

[0052] In summary, this utility model uses two side beams 2 and two cross beams 3 to form a rectangular frame, which is fixed to the inner surface of the decorative panel 1. Multiple ribs 4 are also fixed to the inner surface of the decorative panel 1, thus improving the structural strength of the decorative panel 1. The ends of the ribs 4 are connected to the side beams 2 via second hinges 6, allowing for flexible adjustment of the rib installation angle and facilitating the assembly of irregularly shaped curtain wall units. First hinges 5 are installed on the side beams 2 and connected to the vertical beams on the wall, compensating for installation errors in the vertical beams and ensuring stable installation of the irregularly shaped curtain wall units without deformation.

[0053] It is understood that those skilled in the art can make equivalent substitutions or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, and all such substitutions or changes should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
