Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a glass curtain wall technology, and more particularly to an installation structure for glass curtain wall columns and glass panels. Background Technology

[0002] As a widely used exterior envelope structure in modern architecture, the design and installation of the support system of glass curtain walls directly affects the safety, stability, and construction efficiency of the curtain wall. Glass curtain wall mullions typically use closed rectangular profiles, with connection points only between the top and bottom mullions. For wide-format curtain walls, wider mullions are required, resulting in a larger cavity in the middle of the mullion. This necessitates consideration of both load-bearing strength and thermal insulation, leading to the development of open-type mullions. A common practice for open-type mullions is to divide the mullion into left and right halves, filling the space between them with a steel frame such as angle steel and insulation cotton to ensure the strength and thermal insulation performance of the open-type mullion.

[0003] In addition, for aesthetic and waterproofing purposes, inner and outer aluminum panels are typically used to cover the infilled steel frame. The inner aluminum panel is located indoors and is fixed to L-shaped angle aluminum brackets on both sides with screws and sealed with structural adhesive. The outer aluminum panel is located outdoors and is fixed to the steel frame with L-shaped connectors. The edges between the outer aluminum panel and the glass panel are sealed with rubber strips coated with silicone sealant. However, under the influence of outdoor ambient temperatures, the sealant on the rubber strips will gradually age, leading to water seepage and leakage problems, affecting indoor use. Furthermore, because it is located outdoors, replacement and repair become difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an installation structure for glass curtain wall columns and glass panels. By improving the installation structure, water seepage and leakage are reduced, and the performance of the curtain wall facade is improved.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an installation structure for glass curtain wall columns and glass panels, including columns and glass panels installed within a combined frame of columns and beams. The columns include a main frame and a sub-frame. The main frame is fixedly connected to the beams. The sub-frame is a profile structure, with one end being a fixed end, which is fixed to the corresponding main frame by bolts, and the other end being an open end. Its inner side forms a clamping groove for fixing the glass panel with the corresponding main frame. The outer side of the open end is provided with a side groove that opens in the same direction as the clamping groove. A sealing structure is provided at the corresponding side groove. The sealing structure includes a claw that engages with the side groove and a cover plate that covers the exposed surface of the sub-frame. The cover plate is clearance-fitted with the surface of the glass panel.

[0006] In the above technical solution, the column includes a left main frame and a right main frame, and corresponding to them are a left sub-frame and a right sub-frame. A steel frame structure is set between the two main frames. The steel frame structure is covered with an aluminum plate. The aluminum plate is fixed to the left and right sub-frames and the steel frame structure by a plurality of L-shaped aluminum angles and screws.

[0007] A further technical solution is that the outer surfaces of the left and right main frames are fixed to the crossbeam by bolt assemblies, and the opposite sides of the two are fixed to the steel frame structure by limiting screws. The front ends of the left and right main frames correspond to the sub-frames, and the fixed ends of the sub-frames are fixed to the corresponding main frame supports by bolts. The open end of the sub-frame and the side notch of the main frame form the clamping groove, and a sealing strip is provided between the glass panel and the main frame.

[0008] In the above technical solution, a sealing strip is provided between the opening end of the sub-frame and the glass panel. The cover plate wraps the sealing strip inside, and the gap between its end and the glass panel is filled with sealant. The surface of the cover plate is flush with the surface of the aluminum plate.

[0009] In the above technical solution, a hook is provided at the opening of the side groove, and the hook engages with the claw of the sealing structure.

[0010] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0011] 1. In this utility model, by setting a sealing structure on the outside of the sub-frame, the connection between the sub-frame and the glass panel is covered by a cover plate, so that the originally exposed sealing structure is covered by the cover plate, which can reduce the damage of ambient temperature and wind, sand and rain, slow down the aging of the sealing strip, extend the service life of the sealing structure and the clamping degree of the glass panel, and improve safety.

[0012] 2. The cover plate in the sealing structure is connected to the side groove of the sub-frame by a snap-fit ​​with a claw. During installation, the sub-frame is fixed to the main frame with bolts, and the cover plate can be completed by snap-fitting, which is safe and convenient.
