[0002] Curtain wall connectors refer to various components used to connect curtain wall panels to the main structure or between the curtain wall panels themselves. Based on the connection method, curtain wall connectors can be divided into several types, such as mechanical connectors, adhesive connectors, and point connectors. According to their shape and application, they can be divided into corner connectors, hanging connectors, snap-fit connectors, serpentine connectors, T-shaped connectors, etc. Curtain wall connectors play a crucial role in glass curtain wall structures. They effectively connect the various components of the curtain wall, ensuring the stability and safety of the entire structure. At the same time, connectors must also have sufficient load-bearing capacity and suitable rigidity to withstand loads caused by natural environment and human activities.
[0003] The installation of building curtain walls requires the use of connectors. The problem with existing technologies is that when earthquakes or other vibrations occur, the ground vibrations are transmitted to the building, causing the building structure to shake. Earthquakes can cause the building structure to deform to a certain extent, which can lead to the curtain wall detaching from the wall. Therefore, a structure that can absorb and disperse these vibrational energies and reduce the forces acting directly on the curtain wall and the main structure is needed. Utility Model Content

[0023] To further understand the invention content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0024] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a shockproof connector for curtain walls, including a sleeve 1, a rear connector 2 fixedly connected to the rear side of the sleeve 1, a guide post 3 movably connected inside the sleeve 1, a movable plate 4 fixedly connected to the rear side of the guide post 3, and the surface of the movable plate 4 contacting and cooperating with the inner wall of the sleeve 1.
[0026] The guide post 3 is fitted with a limiting structure. The top of the limiting structure passes through the sleeve 1 and extends to the top of the sleeve 1. The front side of the guide post 3 passes through the sleeve 1 and is fixedly connected to the front connector 5. The rear connector 2 and the four corners inside the front connector 5 are provided with mounting holes 6.
[0027] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The limiting structure includes a collar 7, which is sleeved on the surface of the guide post 3. A screw 8 is detachably connected to the top of the collar 7. The top of the screw 8 passes through the sleeve 1 and extends to the top of the sleeve 1. A movable sleeve 9 is sleeved on the top of the surface of the screw 8.
[0028] With the above scheme: the collar 7 can be securely fitted onto the surface of the guide post 3. The position of the collar 7 and the guide post 3 inside the sleeve 1 can be easily adjusted and controlled by the detachably connected screw 8. The top of the screw 8 penetrates through the sleeve 1 and extends to the top of the sleeve 1, making the whole structure more stable and easier to operate. The movable sleeve 9 fitted onto the top of the surface of the screw 8 increases the flexibility and stability of the structure.
[0029] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The top of the collar 7 is provided with a groove 10. There are several grooves 10, which are evenly distributed. The bottom of the inner wall of the groove 10 is fixedly connected with a nut 11. The inside of the nut 11 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the surface of the screw 8.
[0030] The above solution enables threaded connection with the bottom of the screw 8 surface. Through the design of evenly distributed countersunk grooves 10 and nuts 11, the screw 8 can be easily screwed into different nuts 11 to limit the position of the guide post 3, determine the buffer stroke, and make the overall structure more reliable. The combination of countersunk grooves 10 and nuts 11 facilitates installation and disassembly, improves work efficiency, and also facilitates later maintenance and replacement.
[0031] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The top of the sleeve 1 is provided with an opening 12 that is used to cooperate with the screw 8. The left side of the opening 12 is fixedly connected to a limiting groove 13. The inside of the limiting groove 13 is used to cooperate with the surface of the movable sleeve 9. There are several limiting grooves 13, which are evenly distributed.
[0032] By adopting the above scheme, the opening 12 facilitates the movement of the screw 8 and achieves the purpose of buffering during use. The movable sleeve 9 can move and be restricted within the limiting groove 13, thereby achieving stable support and limiting of the screw 8. This effectively prevents the screw 8 from shaking or shifting during operation, improves the stability and reliability of the overall structure, and ensures the normal operation and safety of the structure.
[0033] refer to Figure 4 A limiting block 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the screw 8, and a first reset spring 15 is sleeved on the top of the surface of the screw 8. The first reset spring 15 is located between the limiting block 14 and the movable sleeve 9.
[0034] The above solution can limit the movement range of the movable sleeve 9, preventing the movable sleeve 9 from detaching from the surface of the screw 8. The first return spring 15 can keep the movable sleeve 9 under downward force when it is not under force.
[0035] refer to Figure 2 A second reset spring 16 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the movable plate 4. The rear side of the second reset spring 16 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner wall of the sleeve 1. A limiting ring 17 is sleeved on the front side of the surface of the second reset spring 16. The front side of the limiting ring 17 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the movable plate 4.
[0036] The above solution makes the moving plate 4 more stable during movement. At the same time, the second return spring 16 has a reset function and can automatically reset after the moving plate 4 is moved by force, which improves the stability and reliability of the structure. The limiting ring 17 can limit the second return spring 16, prevent the second spring from being displaced, and keep the reset force point of the second return spring 16 in a fixed position.
[0037] In use, the rear connector 2 and the front connector 5 are fixedly connected through the sleeve 1, and the guide post 3 is movably connected inside the sleeve 1. The rear connector 2 and the front connector 5 are then connected to the wall and the curtain wall respectively, thus realizing the basic structural frame. The movable plate 4 on the guide post 3 contacts and engages with the inner wall of the sleeve 1 to ensure smooth movement. The collar 7 is securely fitted onto the surface of the guide post 3. The position of the collar 7 and the guide post 3 inside the sleeve 1 can be easily adjusted through the screw 8, which is detachably connected at the top. The top of the screw 8 penetrates the sleeve 1 and extends to the top. This increases the structural stability. The movable sleeve 9 fitted on the top of the screw 8 not only increases flexibility but also provides stable support and limits the screw 8 through the opening 12 and limiting groove 13 on the top of the sleeve 1 that mate with the screw 8, effectively preventing the screw 8 from shaking or shifting during operation. The evenly distributed countersunk grooves 10 on the top of the collar 7 and the nuts 11 fixed at the bottom of the countersunk grooves 10 are threaded to the bottom of the screw 8, limiting the position of the guide post 3 and determining the buffer stroke. The limiting block 14 fixed on the top of the screw 8 and the sleeved... The first return spring 15 limits the movement range of the movable sleeve 9 and ensures that the movable sleeve 9 always maintains a downward force when no force is applied, increasing the stability of the structure. The second return spring 16 fixed to the rear side of the movable plate 4 and the sleeved limiting ring 17 ensure the stability of the movable plate 4 during movement. The return function of the second return spring 16 allows the movable plate 4 to automatically return to its original position after being moved under force. The limiting ring 17 limits the second return spring 16, preventing spring displacement and ensuring the fixed position of the return force point. When the wall vibrates, the screw 8 moves within the opening 12 to provide cushioning. When the curtain wall needs to be installed, the screw 8 is rotated, and the screw 8 drives the collar 7 to rotate through the nut 11, so that the screw 8 enters the limiting groove 13 through the opening 12 to limit the position of the guide column 3, which facilitates the installation of the curtain wall. After the curtain wall is installed, the screw 8 is rotated to move into the opening 12. Since the movable sleeve 9 is larger than the opening 12, the movable sleeve 9 will move at the top of the sleeve 1. When the curtain wall is impacted, it acts as a buffer to reduce the possibility of structural deformation.
[0038] In summary, this anti-seismic connector for curtain walls, through the coordinated use of sleeve 1, rear connector 2, guide column 3, movable plate 4, front connector 5, mounting hole 6, collar 7, screw 8, movable sleeve 9, countersunk groove 10, nut 11, opening 12, limiting groove 13, limiting block 14, first return spring 15, second return spring 16, and limiting ring 17, solves the problem that existing curtain wall connectors, during use, transmit ground vibrations to the building, causing structural shaking and deformation, which can lead to the curtain wall detaching from the wall.
