Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building curtain wall technology, specifically an installation node for an adjustable irregular-shaped aluminum panel curtain wall. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of building curtain walls, irregularly shaped aluminum panel curtain walls have become an important carrier of modern building facade design due to their unique expressive power, and are widely used in cultural venues, commercial complexes, and landmark buildings. However, with the increasing demand for complex curved surfaces and irregular geometric shapes in architectural design, traditional aluminum panel curtain wall installation technology can no longer meet the requirements of efficient, precise, and economical construction, becoming an industry pain point restricting the large-scale application of irregularly shaped curtain walls.

[0003] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, existing building exterior metal curtain walls, such as aluminum single panels, honeycomb aluminum panels, and aluminum composite sandwich panels, use rectangular steel keels and aluminum alloy corner brackets or external steel corner brackets for connection, and are fixed with stainless steel screws.

[0004] This conventional aluminum plate corner bracket installation method is suitable for straight or relatively simple panel materials. Curved aluminum plates and single-curved aluminum plates are usually installed using extended corner brackets or by bending the aluminum plate material.

[0005] For aluminum panel curtain walls with relatively complex shapes, such as hyperboloid aluminum panels, convex aluminum panels, or other irregular quadrilateral shapes, the conventional curved keel and curved panel have the following drawbacks during installation:

[0006] 1. To achieve complex shapes, the keel needs to be segmented, bent, and spliced ​​twice, resulting in complicated processing procedures and a significant increase in labor and time costs. Furthermore, the installation of the convex aluminum panels requires additional welding of a conversion structure, further extending the construction period.

[0007] 2. Conventional corner brackets are fixed designs and cannot be adjusted to multiple degrees of freedom according to on-site installation requirements. Especially in hyperboloid or convex shapes, the aluminum panel material is prone to twisting and deformation due to angle deviations, resulting in a decrease in the flatness and airtightness of the curtain wall, which seriously affects the construction quality.

[0008] 3. Existing installation nodes rely on manual positioning and welding adjustments. On-site construction requires repeated angle calibration, which places high demands on the technical skills of operators and makes it difficult to guarantee the accuracy of curved surface connections between irregular aluminum plates, easily leading to cumulative errors. Utility Model Content

[0009] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide an installation node for an adjustable irregular-shaped aluminum panel curtain wall that can be rotated and adjusted at multiple angles during installation to match the irregular-shaped curtain wall.

[0010] The installation node of this adjustable irregular-shaped aluminum panel curtain wall provided by this utility model includes a main keel, keel connectors, secondary keels, adapters, slots, slot angle brackets, slot sub-frames, and an irregular-shaped curtain wall. The main keel is vertically fixed to the main building structure, and multiple horizontally arranged keel connectors are welded to its outer side. The secondary keel is fixed to the keel connectors. The adapters are connected to the secondary keels by transmission. The slots clamp and limit the position of the adapters, and the slot angle brackets are fixed on the slots. The end of the slotted angle brackets is a connector. A slot sub-frame is fixed on the irregular-shaped curtain wall, and a socket is provided on the slot sub-frame. The connector can be movably inserted into the socket.

[0011] In one embodiment of the above-mentioned installation node, the keel connector is a horizontally arranged rectangular column with an outer end that is a concave arc surface.

[0012] In one embodiment of the above-mentioned installation node, the secondary keel is a circular secondary keel made of high-strength material, which is welded to the outer arc surface of the keel connector.

[0013] In one embodiment of the above-mentioned installation node, the adapter is a Y-shaped component, with its two wing ends being arc surfaces that match the secondary keel, and its tail end being a long straight plate; the arc surface of the adapter is tightly attached to the secondary keel by elastic gaskets, and the two are fixed by two sets of fasteners.

[0014] In one embodiment of the above-mentioned installation node, the slot is a Y-shaped slot with two clamping plates at its tail end and an arc-shaped plate at the wing end; the clamping plates at the tail end of the slot clamp the long straight plate at the tail end of the adapter, and the two are fixed together by fasteners.

[0015] In one embodiment of the above-mentioned installation node, the slot bracket is a semi-circular arc plate that matches the wing-end arc plate of the slot. The two ends of the semi-circular arc plate have outwardly extending connecting rods and ball joints thereon. The semi-circular arc plate of the slot bracket contacts the wing-end arc plate of the slot through elastic gaskets, and the two are fixed together by fasteners.

[0016] In one embodiment of the above-mentioned installation node, the card slot sub-frame includes an integrally formed spherical socket and a sub-plate; the spherical socket can clamp and limit the spherical connector of the card slot corner bracket.

[0017] In one embodiment of the above-mentioned installation node, the irregular curtain wall is an aluminum panel curtain wall with folded edges on all four sides; the sub-plate of the slot sub-frame is tightly attached to and fixed to the folded edges of the irregular curtain wall.

[0018] In one embodiment of the above-mentioned installation node, the connector and the socket are fixed together by fasteners.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] By using the arc-shaped mating structure between the adapter and the secondary keel, and the linkage design between the connector of the slot corner bracket and the socket of the slot sub-frame, the curtain wall can be rotated and adjusted at any angle during installation. This structure solves the problem of panel distortion and deformation caused by the inability of traditional corner brackets to adjust the angle. It can adapt to the installation requirements of convex shapes, double-curved surfaces and irregular quadrilateral aluminum panels, significantly improving the installation accuracy and overall quality of the curtain wall.

[0026] The relevant technical solutions will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the installation nodes of this adjustable irregular-shaped aluminum panel curtain wall disclosed in this embodiment include a main keel 1, a keel connector 2, a secondary keel 3, a transition piece 4, a slot 5, a slot corner bracket 6, a slot sub-frame 7, and an irregular-shaped curtain wall 8.

[0028] The main keel 1 is a vertical keel, and multiple keel connectors 2 are welded to its outer side at fixed intervals.

[0029] The keel connector 2 is a horizontally set rectangular column, with its inner end fixed to the main keel and its outer end being a concave arc surface.

[0030] Secondary keel 3 is a circular secondary keel made of high-strength material, which is welded and fixed to the outer arc surface of keel connector 2. The circular secondary keel can be bent into arcs at any required angle and radius.

[0031] The adapter 4 is a Y-shaped component, with its two wing ends being arc surfaces that match the secondary keel, and its tail end being a long straight plate. The arc surfaces of the adapter are tightly attached to the secondary keel 3 by elastic washers, and the two are fixed together by two sets of fastening screws.

[0032] When the adapter 4 is installed and fixed on the secondary keel 3, it can be initially rotated and adjusted according to the design.

[0033] The slot 5 is a Y-shaped slot with two clamping plates at its tail end and an arc-shaped plate at the wing end. The clamping plates at the tail end of the slot hold the long straight plate at the tail end of the adapter 4, and the two are fixed together by fastening bolts.

[0034] The slot bracket 6 is a semi-circular arc plate that matches the wing-end arc plate of the slot. Both ends of the semi-circular arc plate have outwardly extending connecting rods and ball joints. The semi-circular arc plate of the slot bracket contacts the wing-end arc plate of the slot 5 through elastic washers, and the two are fixed together by screws.

[0035] The card slot sub-frame 7 includes an integrally molded spherical socket and a sub-plate. The spherical socket can clamp and limit the spherical connector of the card slot bracket 6, while the two can be rotated and adjusted at any angle.

[0036] After the angle between the card slot subframe 7 and the card slot bracket 6 is adjusted, bolts are used to simultaneously pass through the spherical joint and the spherical socket to limit and fix them.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the irregular-shaped curtain wall 8 is an aluminum panel curtain wall with folded edges on all four sides. After the sub-plate of the slot sub-frame 7 is tightly attached to the folded edges of the irregular-shaped curtain wall, it is fixed by bolts.

[0038] Irregularly shaped curtain walls can be set as polygons and other irregular shapes according to actual needs.

[0039] The installation process for the installation nodes of this adjustable irregular-shaped aluminum panel curtain wall includes the following steps:

[0040] 1. Main keel assembly: The vertical main keel is fixed to the main structure of the building, and the horizontal keel connector is welded to its outer side. The outer end of the keel connector is a concave arc surface.

[0041] 2. Secondary keel installation: Weld the curved circular secondary keel to the outer arc surface of the keel connector and grind the weld.

[0042] 3. Adjustment of the adapter: Place the arc surface of the Y-shaped adapter tightly against the secondary keel using the elastic shims, rotate it to the designed angle, and then tighten it with the fastening bolts.

[0043] 4. Card slot assembly: Clamp the long straight plate of the adapter at the tail end of the Y-shaped card slot and fix it with bolts. After aligning and fixing the semi-circular arc plate of the card slot corner bracket with the wing end of the card slot, insert it into the spherical socket of the card slot sub-frame.

[0044] 5. Curtain wall fixing: After the folded edge of the irregular aluminum panel curtain wall is attached to the sub-plate of the card slot sub-frame, it is fixed with bolts. The convex or curved aluminum panel is compensated for by adjusting the angle of the card slot sub-frame.

[0045] 6. Overall calibration: Re-measure the flatness and curvature of the curtain wall, tighten and limit the ball plug of the slot corner bracket and the ball socket of the slot sub-frame with screws, and finally fill the joint sealant.

[0046] The advantages of using the installation nodes of this adjustable irregular-shaped aluminum panel curtain wall are:

[0047] 1. Multi-angle flexible adjustment and improved installation quality

[0048] By employing a Y-shaped adapter and a circular secondary keel with an arc-shaped surface, along with a linked design between the spherical connector of the slotted corner bracket and the spherical socket of the slotted sub-frame, the aluminum panel curtain wall can be rotated and adjusted at any angle during installation. This structure solves the problem of panel distortion and deformation caused by the inability to adjust the angle of traditional corner brackets. It can adapt to the installation requirements of convex shapes, hyperboloids, and irregular quadrilateral aluminum panels, significantly improving the installation accuracy and overall quality of the curtain wall.

[0049] 2. Significant reduction in processing costs and procedures

[0050] The use of a circular secondary keel with a one-time bending and forming process avoids the secondary processing required by traditional rectangular steel keels with segmented bending and splicing, simplifying the processing flow and reducing material costs. Simultaneously, the design of replacing curved aluminum plates with straight aluminum plates reduces the number of bending processing steps, improves aluminum plate processing efficiency, and further reduces processing costs.

[0051] 3. Modular assembly and construction efficiency optimization

[0052] By mass-producing standardized prefabricated components such as Y-shaped adapters and slot assemblies, rapid on-site assembly construction is achieved. The installation nodes adopt a combined fixing method of bolt limiting and elastic gaskets, simplifying the adjustment steps, improving the installation efficiency of irregular aluminum plates, shortening the construction period, and supporting non-skilled workers to complete high-precision installation through standardized procedures.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although detailed descriptions have been provided with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
