Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glass room technology, specifically relating to an aluminum alloy frame for a polygonal spherical glass room. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, their leisure and entertainment options have become more diverse, with outdoor camping and dining being among them. To prevent damage from wind, rain, sunlight, snow, and insects, people typically use tents. In contrast, spherical glass houses offer more effective shelter from wind and rain, have good sealing properties, and are suitable for extreme climates. They can be used in hotels, guesthouses, campsites, and trendy restaurants.

[0003] In existing technical solutions, spherical glass houses are mostly triangular structures with frames made of steel, aluminum alloy, or wood, fixed together with bolts. Some use a membrane structure, where a pressure difference is created by inflating the space with a blower to form a spherical shape. Others involve producing transparent rigid panels with a certain curvature and then bolting them together on-site to form a sphere. Still others consist of several polygonal panels (made of tough, rigid materials) connected in a fish-scale pattern without a frame by bolts. These solutions have the following drawbacks: triangular spherical glass houses use more materials, increasing production and transportation costs; and if the frame is made of steel, it will... Even with paint treatment, the coating is prone to peeling off during long-term use, leading to rust. This increases maintenance costs and significantly shortens the lifespan of the frame. Furthermore, the high density of steel increases the labor intensity during installation. While a soft membrane structure is used, inflated by a blower, this method has poor environmental adaptability and requires inflation equipment and power. A frameless design consisting of several polygonal plates (made of a tough, rigid material) connected in a fish-scale pattern with bolts also suffers from poor environmental adaptability due to the lack of a frame structure. Therefore, this invention provides an aluminum alloy frame for a polygonal spherical glass room. Summary of the Invention
