Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to the field of curtain wall technology, and more specifically to a curtain wall truss with an anti-seismic structure. Background Technology
[0002] Curtain wall trusses are a crucial support system in building curtain wall structures. They are lattice structures composed of members connected by welding, bolting, and other methods, used to support the curtain wall panels and transfer the curtain wall's self-weight, wind loads, and seismic forces to the main structure. Curtain wall trusses typically possess high strength and stiffness, enabling them to withstand significant loads. Their structural forms are diverse, with planar trusses and space trusses being common examples.
[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 211396148 U discloses a point truss glass curtain wall, including a glass curtain wall, a first connecting device, a second connecting device, stainless steel connectors, black silicone weather-resistant sealant, and a point truss. The glass curtain wall is installed on the stainless steel connectors through the first and second connecting devices. The stainless steel connectors are fixedly installed on the point truss. The glass curtain walls are connected to each other through black silicone weather-resistant sealant. The point truss is a frame composed of several steel pipes.
[0004] The curtain wall truss in the aforementioned patent uses point contact to fix the glass; however, although this fixing method is simple, it does not have an anti-seismic effect; when special circumstances occur, because the glass is fixedly connected around the perimeter, individual glass panes do not have the function of expansion and contraction compensation at multiple angles, which leads to the glass breaking; therefore, it does not have an anti-seismic function. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a curtain wall truss with an anti-seismic structure, which has reserved gaps and uses rubber strips or sealing strips to buffer the displacement caused by the earthquake, thereby preventing the curtain wall from cracking due to deformation; in order to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A curtain wall truss with a seismic-resistant structure includes an inner vertical frame and an inner horizontal frame for installing curtain wall glass; wherein the inner vertical frame is also fixedly connected to a connector; the outer end of the connector is connected to a C-type connector by a corner bracket; an outer vertical frame is fixed inside the C-type connector, and an outer horizontal frame is fixed on both sides of the outer vertical frame.
[0008] Honeycomb curtain wall panels are installed on the outer vertical frame and the outer horizontal frame. A gap is reserved between every two adjacent honeycomb curtain wall panels, and a sealing strip is snapped into the gap.
[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the inner vertical frame and the inner horizontal frame are composed of the same structure, each including a profile frame; the profile frame is connected to a pressure plate by bolts, and a buckle plate is fastened to the outside of the pressure plate.
[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, slots are provided on the opposite side of the profile frame and the pressure plate, and rubber strips for sealing and buffering the curtain wall glass are embedded in the slots.
[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the bolts on the outside of the profile frame pass through the pressure plate and are also fixedly connected to the connector; the connector extends to the outside through the slot on the pressure plate; and is connected to C-shaped connectors through multiple corner brackets.
[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the outer vertical frame and the outer horizontal frame are made of the same aluminum profile, and the outer side has a groove; the honeycomb curtain wall panel is folded inward around its perimeter and snapped into the groove of the outer vertical frame and the outer horizontal frame.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, the rubber strip has a good sealing and protective effect on the curtain wall glass. When vibration occurs, the rubber strip has a buffering effect on the curtain wall glass, which can prevent stress cracking.
[0015] 2. The structural design of the C-type connector in this utility model allows the entire curtain wall truss system to have a certain displacement space when subjected to external forces, thereby effectively absorbing and dispersing vibration energy; when natural disasters such as earthquakes occur, this earthquake-resistant structure can ensure the overall stability of the curtain wall and reduce the risk of glass breakage and structural damage caused by vibration.
[0016] 3. In this utility model, there is a compressible space between every two adjacent honeycomb curtain wall panels; when the sealing strip is squeezed and deformed, the deformation compensation of the honeycomb curtain wall panel is realized; through this design, the seismic resistance of the curtain wall system is further enhanced, ensuring that the relative displacement of the honeycomb curtain wall panels will not cause damage to the overall structure of the curtain wall in the event of extreme natural disasters.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 In this embodiment of the utility model, a curtain wall truss with an anti-seismic structure includes an inner vertical frame 1 and an inner horizontal frame 2 for installing curtain wall glass 3; wherein the inner vertical frame 1 is also fixedly connected to a connector 4; the outer end of the connector 4 is connected to a C-shaped connector 6 through a corner bracket 5; an outer vertical frame 10 is fixed inside the C-shaped connector 6, and an outer horizontal frame 7 is fixed on both sides of the outer vertical frame 10.
[0027] Honeycomb curtain wall panels 8 are installed on the outer vertical frame 10 and the outer horizontal frame 7. A gap is reserved between every two adjacent honeycomb curtain wall panels 8, and a sealing strip 9 is snapped into the gap.
[0028] More specifically, in this embodiment, the inner vertical frame 1 and the inner horizontal frame 2 are composed of the same structure, each including a profile frame 11; the profile frame 11 is connected to a pressure plate 13 by bolts, and a fastening plate 14 is fastened to the outside of the pressure plate 13. A slot is provided on the opposite side of the profile frame 11 and the pressure plate 13, and a rubber strip 12 for sealing and buffering the curtain wall glass 3 is embedded in the slot.
[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, during installation, the corner bracket is placed inside the inner horizontal frame 2 and then fixedly connected to the inner vertical frame 1 with bolts; then the pressure plate 13 is connected with bolts, and the curtain wall glass 3 and rubber strip 12 are installed in the designated position without being locked, and then the bolts are tightened, thus realizing the installation and fixing of the curtain wall glass 3.
[0030] Furthermore, the rubber strip 12 provides good sealing and protection for the curtain wall glass 3. When vibration occurs, the rubber strip 12 acts as a buffer, preventing stress cracking. The C-shaped connector 6's structural design allows the entire curtain wall truss system a certain displacement space when subjected to external forces, effectively absorbing and dispersing vibration energy. In the event of natural disasters such as earthquakes, this seismic-resistant structure ensures the overall stability of the curtain wall, reducing the risk of glass breakage and structural damage caused by vibration. Further, the connection between the inner vertical frame 1 and the connector 4 uses high-strength bolts, ensuring the overall system's robustness. The profile frame 11 of the inner horizontal frame 2 is made of aluminum alloy, ensuring structural strength while reducing overall weight. The design of the snap-on plate 14 makes the replacement of the curtain wall glass 3 simple and quick, facilitating maintenance and updates. Overall, this design not only improves the curtain wall's seismic performance but also significantly reduces long-term maintenance costs.
[0031] In this embodiment, the bolts on the outside of the profile frame 11 pass through the pressure plate 13 and are also fixedly connected to the connector 4; the connector 4 extends to the outside through the slot on the pressure plate 13; and is connected to C-shaped connectors 6 through multiple corner brackets 5.
[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection 4 facilitates the subsequent installation of the honeycomb curtain wall panel 8; the honeycomb curtain wall panel 8 is made of metal and has good plasticity, which can be processed into different shapes according to the customer's choice, thereby achieving a good decorative effect on the building; while the curtain wall glass 3 has good windproof, heat insulation and rainproof effects; the double-layer curtain wall design improves the multi-functionality of the curtain wall.
[0033] In this embodiment, the outer vertical frame 10 and the outer horizontal frame 7 are made of the same aluminum profile and have a groove on the outside; the honeycomb curtain wall panel 8 is folded inward around its perimeter and snapped into the groove of the outer vertical frame 10 and the outer horizontal frame 7.
[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, when installing the honeycomb curtain wall panel 8, the folded edges around the honeycomb curtain wall panel 8 are directly snapped into the grooves of the outer vertical frame 10 and the outer horizontal frame 7, and then sealed and fixed by the sealing strip 9. In this way, during an earthquake, there is a compressible space between every two adjacent honeycomb curtain wall panels 8; when the sealing strip 9 is compressed and deformed, deformation compensation of the honeycomb curtain wall panel 8 is achieved. This design further enhances the seismic resistance of the curtain wall system, ensuring that the relative displacement of the honeycomb curtain wall panels 8 will not cause damage to the overall curtain wall structure under extreme natural disasters. In addition, this solution simplifies the maintenance process, reduces long-term operating costs, and maintains the aesthetics and functionality of the building.
[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During installation, the corner bracket is placed inside the inner horizontal frame 2 and then fixedly connected to the inner vertical frame 1 with bolts; then the pressure plate 13 is connected with bolts, and the curtain wall glass 3 and rubber strip 12 are installed in the designated position without being locked, and then the bolts are tightened, thus realizing the installation and fixing of the curtain wall glass 3.
[0036] Furthermore, the rubber strip 12 provides good sealing and protection for the curtain wall glass 3. When vibration occurs, the rubber strip 12 provides a buffering effect for the curtain wall glass 3, which can prevent stress cracking. The structural design of the C-type connector 6 allows the entire curtain wall truss system to have a certain displacement space when subjected to external forces, thereby effectively absorbing and dispersing vibration energy.
[0037] During installation of the honeycomb curtain wall panel 8, the folded edges around the panel are directly snapped into the grooves of the outer vertical frame 10 and the outer horizontal frame 7, and then sealed and fixed using the sealing strip 9. This creates a compressible space between every two adjacent honeycomb curtain wall panels 8 during an earthquake; when the sealing strip 9 is compressed and deformed, deformation compensation for the honeycomb curtain wall panel 8 is achieved. This design further enhances the seismic resistance of the curtain wall system, ensuring that the relative displacement of the honeycomb curtain wall panels 8 will not cause damage to the overall curtain wall structure under extreme natural disasters. Furthermore, this solution simplifies the maintenance process, reduces long-term operating costs, and maintains the building's aesthetics and functionality.
