Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building curtain wall technology, specifically a small decorative aluminum plate with an outward convex shape for glass curtain walls. Background Technology
[0002] In contemporary building curtain wall engineering, the combined application of aluminum panel curtain walls and glass curtain walls has become an important technical means to enhance the appearance of building facades. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the existing technology generally adopts the construction method of installing conventional aluminum panel curtain walls in the middle part or at the top and bottom of the glass curtain wall, so as to achieve the dual functions of decorative shape and building sealing through the combination of the two materials.
[0003] However, this technical solution has the following significant drawbacks in engineering practice:
[0004] 1. Installing aluminum panels on a glass curtain wall requires two galvanized steel U-channels to be installed at the top and bottom of the aluminum panels, increasing the amount of steel used. Since aluminum panels are installed both indoors and outdoors, the excessively large installation dimensions of the aluminum panels hinder material conservation and increase material procurement costs.
[0005] 2. The combined installation of aluminum panels and glass increases the number of installation steps for the curtain wall, reduces the installation efficiency of the glass curtain wall, and extends the construction period of the curtain wall.
[0006] 3. Aluminum panel curtain walls and glass curtain walls are a combination of two different materials. The joints between the two materials are sealed with sealant. This combination installation style has many joints, which can easily lead to sealant falling off, causing water seepage and reducing the sealing performance of the curtain wall.
[0007] 4. Glass curtain walls typically use insulated energy-saving glass, which has good thermal insulation performance, while aluminum panel curtain walls are made of metal and have poor thermal insulation performance. The combination of aluminum panels and glass in a curtain wall will reduce the thermal insulation performance of the glass curtain wall.
[0008] 5. The aluminum panels installed in the middle of the glass curtain wall divide the large glass panes into upper and lower sections, increasing the junction of the glass curtain wall, which damages the overall appearance of the glass curtain wall and reduces its visual quality. Utility Model Content
[0009] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a low-cost and faster-installing small-unit decorative aluminum panel for glass curtain walls with a protruding shape.
[0010] The present invention provides a small decorative aluminum panel for a glass curtain wall with a protruding shape, comprising, in sequence from the main building structure outwards, a column, a glass curtain wall, a connector, a base, a hanger, and a protruding aluminum panel; the connector is fixed to the outer surface of the column, and its web extends to the outer side of the glass curtain wall; the inner side of the base is provided with a slot to clamp and fix the connector, and the outer side of the base is provided with a notch; the hanger is fixed to the inner frame of the protruding aluminum panel, and its top end is provided with a hook structure that matches the notch of the base, and the hanger is connected to the base through the notch engagement.
[0011] In one embodiment of the aforementioned aluminum plate, the column is made of aluminum alloy and is fixed vertically to the main building structure.
[0012] In one embodiment of the aforementioned aluminum plate, the adapter is a T-shaped piece with a T-shaped cross-section, its wing plate is fixed to the outer surface of the column by stainless steel bolts, and its web plate extends outward from the gap between adjacent glass curtain wall units.
[0013] In one embodiment of the aluminum plate described above, the glass curtain wall uses insulated energy-saving glass units, and the gap between the T-shaped member and the glass curtain wall is filled with weather-resistant sealant.
[0014] In one embodiment of the aluminum plate described above, the slot of the base is U-shaped, and a card plate extending to both sides is provided on the inner side of the slot. A sealing plate is provided between the card plate and the notch on the outer side of the slot to close the gap.
[0015] In one embodiment of the aforementioned aluminum plate, the convex aluminum plate is an independent prefabricated unit with an outwardly convex shape on its outer surface, and its edges are bent to form a closed structure, with a square steel composite frame for internal support.
[0016] In one embodiment of the aforementioned aluminum plate, the hanger is fixed to the outwardly protruding aluminum plate frame by bolts, and the hanger is fixed to the base by limiting screws after being snapped together.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] 1. By eliminating the steel U-channel structure required for traditional aluminum panel curtain walls, the amount of steel used is directly reduced; the use of small unit aluminum panels significantly reduces the size and amount of material used per aluminum panel; at the same time, aluminum alloy hangers, bases and T-shaped parts are processed to size in the factory, reducing material waste and reducing overall procurement and processing costs; in addition, the design of independent installation of aluminum panels and glass curtain walls reduces interface gaps, and combined with weather-resistant sealant filling, it greatly reduces the risk of water seepage and later maintenance costs.
[0019] 2. The protruding aluminum panels are prefabricated into closed small unit modules, enabling batch processing in the factory and overall hoisting on site, reducing complex processes such as on-site cutting and assembly; the aluminum panels and glass curtain wall are constructed separately, avoiding process overlap, significantly improving installation efficiency and shortening the construction period; independent hanging is achieved through the precise matching of aluminum alloy brackets and bases, enabling rapid installation without complex adjustments;
[0020] 3. The aluminum panels and glass curtain wall are installed separately and independently, which will not affect the thermal insulation performance of the glass curtain wall and results in better thermal insulation. Attached Figure Description
