[0002] With the development of the times, people's demands for contemporary architecture have gone beyond mere functional attributes. They are now imbued with aesthetic, regional, and artistic expressions, and simple boxy architectural forms can no longer meet the aesthetic needs of the market and the times. In recent years, glass curtain walls, as a lightweight, pure, and dynamically beautiful new type of facade material, have been widely used in architectural design. However, when faced with complex architectural shapes and the challenges of varying climatic conditions in actual projects, glass curtain walls still reveal some problems that urgently need to be addressed. For example, glass curtain walls typically cover a large area, and due to limitations in the size and price of the material itself, they are usually composed of multiple panes of glass. The joints between glass curtain walls are generally sealed with sealant for waterproofing, especially when glass curtain walls are used on sloping exterior walls or roofs, where maintenance work due to waterproofing issues is quite common.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the glass curtain wall structure of this utility model includes a first glass curtain wall module 100, a second glass curtain wall module 200, and a connecting support structure 300. The first glass curtain wall module 100 and the second glass curtain wall module 200 are arranged vertically, and the first glass curtain wall module 100 and the second glass curtain wall module 200 are inclined in the same direction. The bottom of the upper first glass curtain wall module 100 is staggered over the top outer side of the lower second glass curtain wall module 200, and the connecting support structure 300 connects the bottom of the first glass curtain wall module 100 and the top of the second glass curtain wall module 200.

[0050] The glass curtain wall structure of this utility model is inclined, and two adjacent unit-type glass curtain wall modules are cleverly installed in an alternating superposition manner, so that the joint is covered by the upper and lower glass curtain wall modules, which has a good waterproof function.

[0051] Along the inclined direction, the lower part of the glass curtain wall module is staggered on the top outer side of the next glass curtain wall module, and the upper part is staggered on the bottom inner side of the previous glass curtain wall module. The inclined glass curtain wall structure guides rainwater to flow naturally downwards, effectively preventing rain and snow from directly washing the joints and avoiding their seepage.

[0052] The connecting support structure 300 includes a first L-shaped opening 301 and a second L-shaped opening 302. The first L-shaped opening 301 is obliquely upward to support and connect the first glass curtain wall module 100, and the second L-shaped opening 302 is obliquely downward to support and connect the second glass curtain wall module 200.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the connecting support structure 300 of the glass curtain wall structure of this utility model includes a first L-shaped component 310 and a second L-shaped component 320. The first L-shaped component 310 is connected to the bottom corner of the first glass curtain wall module 100, and the second L-shaped component 320 is connected to the top corner of the second glass curtain wall module 200. The first L-shaped component 310 and the second L-shaped component 320 are connected by fasteners or are integrally formed. Through the connecting support of the first L-shaped component 310 and the second L-shaped component 320, the adjacent first glass curtain wall modules 100 and second glass curtain wall modules 200 are assembled together, and the glass curtain wall modules of each layer are installed in sequence to form an inclined building structure exterior wall or roof.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first L-shaped component 310 and the second L-shaped component 320 are aluminum alloy profiles and are connected by a locking member.

[0055] In detail, the first L-shaped component 310 includes a first supporting connecting edge 311 and a second supporting connecting edge 312 connected in an L-shape. The first supporting connecting edge 311 has a snap-fit ​​portion 311a, and the bottom edge of the first glass curtain wall module 100 has a snap-fit ​​groove 110. The snap-fit ​​portion 311a of the first supporting connecting edge 311 of the first L-shaped component 310 is embedded in the snap-fit ​​groove 110 of the bottom edge of the first glass curtain wall module 100. The second supporting connecting edge 312 is disposed at the bottom of the inner side of the first glass curtain wall module 100, so that the first L-shaped component 310 is connected and supported at the bottom corner of the first glass curtain wall module 100.

[0056] The second L-shaped component 320 includes a third supporting connecting edge 321 and a fourth supporting connecting edge 322 connected in an L-shape. The third supporting connecting edge 321 abuts against the top edge of the second glass curtain wall module 200, and the fourth supporting connecting edge 322 is disposed on the top of the inner side of the second glass curtain wall module 200. Thus, the second L-shaped component 320 is connected and supported at the bottom corner of the second glass curtain wall module 200.

[0057] Multiple glass curtain wall modules, which are adjacent and inclined, are connected sequentially through the connection and support of the first L-shaped component 310 and the second L-shaped component 320.

[0058] The glass curtain wall structure of this utility model also includes sealant 400, which is filled between the snap groove 110 on the bottom edge of the first glass curtain wall module 100 and the snap part 311a of the first support connecting edge 311.

[0059] The first L-shaped component 310 also includes a side flange 313 connecting the second support connecting edge 312. The side flange is fixedly connected to the third support connecting edge 321 of the second L-shaped component 320 by a locking member. The first L-shaped component 310 and the second L-shaped component 320 are connected to form a first L-shaped opening 301 that connects and supports the first glass curtain wall module 100 at an upward angle and a second L-shaped opening 302 that connects and supports the second glass curtain wall module 200 at a downward angle.

[0060] A sealing element 500 is provided between the third supporting connecting edge 321 of the second L-shaped component 320 and the top edge of the second glass curtain wall module 200. Furthermore, a buffer element 600 is provided between the end of the third supporting connecting edge 321 of the second L-shaped component 320 and the inner side of the first glass curtain wall module 100 to absorb and disperse the force, reducing friction and collision between the second L-shaped component 320 and the first glass curtain wall module.

[0061] In practice, the snap-fit ​​groove 110 at the bottom edge of the first glass curtain wall module 100 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​part 311a of the first L-shaped component 310, and the interior is filled with sealant 400 of molecular sieve hollow structure. The upper part of the first glass curtain wall module 100 is snapped into the second L-shaped component 320 of the previous module by gravity, and sealed with foam rods and sealing elements 500. The glass curtain walls of each layer are installed in sequence.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first glass curtain wall module 100 and the second glass curtain wall module 200 have the same tilt angle. Of course, in some embodiments, the tilt angles of the first glass curtain wall module 100 and the second glass curtain wall module 200 can be set differently, forming an undulating tilted shape. That is, the first supporting connecting edge 311 and the second supporting connecting edge 312 of the first L-shaped member 310 of this invention are not limited to a vertical connection; they can be connected at an obtuse or acute angle. Similarly, the third supporting connecting edge 321 and the fourth supporting connecting edge 322 of the second L-shaped member 320 are not limited to a vertical connection; they can be connected at an obtuse or acute angle.

[0063] The glass curtain wall structure of this utility model can be used in buildings, which include building structures. The glass curtain wall structure is connected to the building structure via a curtain wall keel 700. This utility model does not particularly limit the structure of the curtain wall keel 700. In one embodiment, the glass curtain wall structure is connected to the curtain wall keel 700 via fasteners, and the curtain wall keel 700 is fixedly connected to the building structure via a support base 800.

[0064] In summary, this utility model optimizes the splicing structure and joint method of glass curtain walls based on existing curtain wall waterproofing technology, protecting the weakest parts most susceptible to leakage and seepage, thereby improving the waterproofing effect and durability of glass curtain wall buildings. Simultaneously, the glass units are fixed in one direction, facilitating installation and disassembly, and simplifying future maintenance and replacement. It can serve as a reference for glass curtain wall structures with similar facade effects.

[0065] While optimizing the structure, the staggered glass curtain wall design breaks the monotonous and flat appearance of the sloping curtain wall, making the sloping surface more layered and varied. At the same time, it extends the use of the projection and refraction properties of the glass curtain wall to create a variety of light and shadow effects inside the room.

[0066] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
