Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of curtain wall construction technology, specifically to a horizontal concealed and vertical exposed glass curtain wall installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] In vertically exposed and horizontally concealed glass curtain walls, glass panels are typically installed between vertical columns. During installation, the glass panels are secured to the columns using pressure plates and stainless steel screws to achieve proper positioning and connection. This structure and installation method rely on on-site precise glass positioning by construction workers, who then tighten the pressure plates with screws to secure the glass.

[0003] However, in actual construction, the large size and heavy weight of the glass panels make manual alignment difficult. Furthermore, the installation of the pressure plate and screws does not provide an effective pre-positioning structure, leading to frequent positional shifts in the glass panels during installation. Multiple adjustments are required to ensure accurate positioning, making the assembly and fit between the glass panels and the columns challenging. This results in low installation efficiency, high labor intensity, and frequent rework. In addition, the glass panels are suspended or temporarily supported before being fully fixed, posing a safety risk. The cumbersome and time-consuming installation process further increases this risk. Therefore, the stability and safety of the construction quality are difficult to guarantee.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to study the installation structure of horizontally concealed and vertically exposed glass curtain walls. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a horizontally concealed and vertically exposed glass curtain wall installation structure, which can effectively solve the problems of difficult alignment, low installation efficiency and poor safety in the existing curtain wall glass panel installation process.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] The installation structure of the horizontal concealed and vertical exposed glass curtain wall includes columns, beams, glass panels, exposed frame components, concealed frame components, and dry-hanging components;

[0008] The columns are arranged vertically at intervals, and horizontal beams are fixedly connected between the columns.

[0009] The left and right edges of the glass panel are connected to the columns via exposed frame components, and the top and bottom edges of the glass panel are connected to the crossbeams via concealed frame components.

[0010] The exposed frame assembly includes a mounting base, a thermal bridge, and an exposed frame pressure plate.

[0011] The mounting base is installed on the outer surface of the column and extends along the column direction. A thermal insulation bridge is fixedly connected to the middle of the mounting base.

[0012] The dry-hanging assembly includes a hook base and a hook;

[0013] The hook seat is fixed on the left and right sides of the mounting base, and the hook seat has a hook groove with an upper opening;

[0014] The hooks are set on the inner surface of the glass plate and distributed at the four corners of the glass plate, with the hooks facing downwards and hooked in the hook grooves.

[0015] The middle part of the exposed frame pressure plate is fixedly connected to the thermal insulation bridge by fasteners, and the side part of the exposed frame pressure plate is connected to the outer end face of the glass plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the hidden frame assembly includes a hidden frame pressure plate and a horizontal subframe, wherein the hidden frame pressure plate is fixed on the horizontal subframe;

[0017] The horizontal subframe is U-shaped, with openings distributed opposite each other on the upper and lower sides of the concealed frame pressure plate. One flange of the horizontal subframe is fixedly set between the concealed frame pressure plate and the column, and the other flange of the horizontal subframe is fixedly bonded to the inner surface of the glass plate. Structural adhesive is filled between two adjacent glass plates.

[0018] Furthermore, the hook includes a connecting plate and a hook head. The connecting plate is fixedly bonded to the inner surface of the glass plate; the hook head is fixed to the inner surface of the connecting plate, and the hook head is bent downward and hooked in the hook groove.

[0019] Furthermore, the thickness of the hook head is less than the width of the hook groove, allowing the hook head to move in the inward and outward directions within the hook groove.

[0020] Furthermore, the inner surface of the hook head is provided with an adhesive strip, which contacts and adheres to the hook groove when the glass plate is completely fixed.

[0021] Furthermore, adhesive strip seats are vertically arranged on the left and right sides of the mounting base, and sealing adhesive strips are provided on the outer end faces of the adhesive strip seats. When the glass plate is completely fixed, the sealing adhesive strips contact and adhere to the inner surface of the glass plate.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:

[0023] This invention utilizes dry-hanging components on both sides of the column and the glass panel. These components employ a hook-and-hook system, with downward-facing hooks on the inner surface of the glass panel that engage with hook grooves on the outer mounting base of the column. This allows for pre-positioning and rapid assembly of the glass panel. Compared to traditional methods using pressure plates and screws, this eliminates repeated adjustments during initial glass alignment, achieving preliminary position definition, preventing significant positional shifts, and reducing construction difficulty. Furthermore, by pre-installing the glass panel on the frame, it avoids the glass panel being suspended or temporarily supported before full fixation, improving safety and facilitating subsequent fine-tuning of the glass panel's position, reducing reliance on manual experience and increasing installation efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0031] This embodiment aims to provide an installation structure for horizontally concealed and vertically exposed glass curtain walls, which is mainly used for the installation process of horizontally concealed and vertically exposed glass curtain walls. It addresses the problems of difficult alignment, low installation efficiency, and poor safety in the existing installation process of curtain wall glass panels 3.

[0032] The installation structure of a horizontally concealed and vertically exposed glass curtain wall, such as... Figure 1 It includes columns 1, beams 2, glass panels 3, exposed frame components, concealed frame components, and dry-hanging components.

[0033] The columns 1 are set vertically at intervals, and the columns 1 are horizontally fixedly connected by beams 2 to form a mesh-like curtain wall skeleton structure.

[0034] The left and right edges of the glass panel 3 are connected to the column 1 through exposed frame components, and the upper and lower edges of the glass panel 3 are connected to the beam 2 through concealed frame components, forming a glass curtain wall structure with horizontal concealment and vertical exposure.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 1 The exposed frame assembly includes a mounting base 4, a thermal bridge 5, and an exposed frame pressure plate 6. The mounting base 4 is installed on the outer surface of the column 1 and extends along the direction of the column 1. The thermal bridge 5 is fixedly connected to the middle of the mounting base 4. The thermal bridge 5 and the mounting base 4 are an integrated structure, which has the function of heat insulation. Both the mounting base 4 and the thermal bridge 5 are arranged along the vertical length of the column 1.

[0036] like Figure 2-4 The dry-hanging assembly includes a hook seat 7 and a hook 8. The hook seat 7 is screwed to the left and right sides of the mounting base 4. The hook seat 7 has an upper-opening U-shaped hook groove 701. In this embodiment, there is a gap between the hook seat 7 and the mounting base 4 to form the hook groove 701. In other embodiments, the hook seat 7 can also be a U-shaped structure with an upper opening.

[0037] Hooks 8 are adhesively attached to the inner surface of the glass panel 3 and distributed at the four corners of the glass panel 3. The hooks 8 face downwards and are hooked into the hook grooves 701. Each glass panel 3 has four hooks 8, which are hooked onto the hooks 8 on two adjacent columns 1 to form a pre-position before fixing the glass panel 3, thus initially defining the position. This eliminates repeated adjustments during the initial alignment of the glass, avoids significant positional deviation of the glass panel 3, and reduces construction difficulty. In addition, since the glass panel 3 can be installed on the frame in advance, it avoids the glass panel 3 being suspended or temporarily supported before being fully fixed. This improves safety and facilitates subsequent fine-tuning of the position of the glass panel 3, reducing reliance on manual experience and improving installation efficiency.

[0038] like Figure 4 The hook 8 includes a connecting plate 801 and a hook head 802. The connecting plate 801 is fixedly bonded to the inner surface of the glass plate 3. The hook head 802 is integrally fixed to the inner surface of the connecting plate 801, and the hook head 802 is bent downward and hooked in the hook groove 701. The thickness of the hook head 802 is less than the width of the hook groove 701, allowing the hook head 802 to move in the inward and outward directions within the hook groove 701. A T-shaped groove is formed on the inner surface of the hook head 802, and an adhesive strip 803 is fixedly engaged in the T-shaped groove. When the glass plate 3 is completely fixed, the adhesive strip 803 contacts and is bonded to the hook groove 701.

[0039] like Figure 3The mounting base 4 has vertically arranged adhesive strip seats 12 on both sides. The outer end face of the adhesive strip seat 12 has a T-shaped groove. The sealing adhesive strip 13 is fixed in the T-shaped groove. When the glass plate 3 is completely fixed, the sealing adhesive strip 13 contacts and adheres to the inner surface of the glass plate 3. The sealing adhesive strip 13 is set along the entire length in the vertical direction, but needs to make way for the dry hanging structure.

[0040] In this embodiment, the glass plate 3 is first dry-hanged onto the column 1 using a dry-hanging structure to form a pre-positioned position. At this time, the hook head 802 is located on the outside of the hook groove 701, avoiding contact between the adhesive strip 803 and the hook groove 701, and also avoiding contact between the sealing strip 13 and the inner surface of the glass plate 3. In this state, the left and right positions of the glass plate 3 can be precisely adjusted. After the position is determined, the glass plate 3 is pushed inward, causing the hook head 802 to move inward in the hook groove 701, so that the adhesive strip 803 contacts and is bonded to the hook groove 701, and the sealing strip 13 contacts and is bonded to the inner surface of the glass plate 3. Subsequently, the middle part of the exposed frame pressure plate 6 is fixedly connected to the heat insulation bridge 5 by fasteners, and the side part of the exposed frame pressure plate 6 is connected to the outer end face of the glass plate 3, so that the glass plate 3 is completely fixed. A cover plate is installed on the outer surface of the exposed frame pressure plate 6 to form a vertical exposed frame effect.

[0041] like Figure 5 The concealed frame assembly includes a concealed frame pressure plate 9 and a horizontal subframe 10, with the concealed frame pressure plate 9 fixed to the horizontal subframe 10. The horizontal subframe 10 is U-shaped, with openings distributed opposite each other on the upper and lower sides of the concealed frame pressure plate 9. One flange of the horizontal subframe 10 is fixedly set between the concealed frame pressure plate 9 and the column 1, and the other flange of the horizontal subframe 10 is fixedly bonded to the inner surface of the glass plate 3. Structural adhesive 11 is filled between two adjacent glass plates 3, so that a concealed frame effect is formed laterally.
