[0038] A vertically visible, horizontally concealed, one-way cable-stayed glass curtain wall includes:

[0039] The vertical exposed and horizontal concealed component curtain wall includes a pressure plate 9 and a vertical cable fastener 1, wherein the pressure plate 9 and the vertical cable fastener 1 are fixed by screws 10;

[0040] A vertical prestressed single-layer cable structure includes a vertical cable 3 and a main structure 5, wherein the two ends of the vertical cable 3 are fixedly connected to the main structure 5;

[0041] The vertical cable fastener 1 is fixed to the vertical cable 3 by bolts 2;

[0042] The pressure plate 9 and the vertical cable fastener 1 form two U-shaped grooves. A glass panel 6 is embedded in the U-shaped groove. The outer sides of the pressure plate 9 and the vertical cable fastener 1 are covered with a buckle cover 8. The end cross-section of the buckle cover 8 is U-shaped and is made of stainless steel in one piece.

[0043] By combining a component-type vertical exposed and horizontal concealed curtain wall with a prestressed cable structure, the column construction employs an innovative design with spaced aluminum alloy cable fasteners 1 encased in caps 8. Compared to traditional curtain wall columns, this significantly reduces the cross-sectional dimensions, creating an extremely narrow column shape, effectively minimizing visual obstruction, and greatly enhancing the overall transparency of the glass curtain wall, thus creating a more open and transparent visual effect for the building space. In terms of structural connection, the indoor vertical aluminum alloy cable fasteners 1 and the outdoor aluminum alloy pressure plates 9 are securely connected to the vertical prestressed single-layer cable structure, ensuring not only the stability and safety of the curtain wall but also the prestressing of the cables. The features enhance the overall wind and earthquake resistance of the structure. At the same time, the pressure plate 9 and the vertical cable fastener 1 form a continuous and stable installation foundation. The cover 8 not only plays a decorative role, but also provides a flat and continuous installation surface for the long decorative line. During installation, the long decorative line can be firmly installed along the surface of the cover 8 by means of bonding, slot embedding and other methods. This design cleverly solves the technical problem of installing long decorative lines in point-supported glass curtain walls, providing a richer creative space for the curtain wall appearance design. It takes into account both practicality and aesthetics and can be widely used in various high-end building projects to improve the quality and image of buildings.

[0044] In this embodiment, EPDM sealing strips 7 are provided on both sides (i.e., the front and the back) of the glass panel 6, and the sealing strips 7 on both sides abut against the pressure plate 9 and the vertical cable fastener 1 respectively. Through the tight abutment between the sealing strips 7 and the pressure plate 9 and the vertical cable fastener 1, an effective sealing structure is formed, which can significantly enhance the air tightness and water tightness of the glass curtain wall and effectively block rainwater leakage, dust intrusion and air circulation.

[0045] In this embodiment, the two ends of the vertical cable 3 are fixedly connected to the main structure 5 through the ear plate 4. The ear plate 4 connection provides a stable and reliable anchor point for the vertical cable 3, enabling the cable to stably bear the prestress and the overall load of the curtain wall, effectively enhancing the overall stability and wind and earthquake resistance of the vertical prestressed single-layer cable structure. At the same time, this connection method facilitates installation and subsequent maintenance, reduces construction difficulty and maintenance costs, and ensures the long-term safe operation of the curtain wall.

[0046] In this embodiment, the horizontal and vertical edges (i.e., top and bottom edges, left and right edges; several glass panels 6 are spliced ​​together and sealed with sealant 12) of the glass panel 6 are connected to adjacent glass panels 6 via sealant 12. The horizontal edges of the glass panel 6 are also connected to adjacent glass panels 6 via sealant 12. The sealant 12 connection forms a continuous sealing interface, further improving the overall waterproof and dustproof performance of the curtain wall and preventing the external environment from affecting the interior of the building. Furthermore, the sealant 12 has good elasticity and flexibility, which can adapt to the expansion and contraction deformation of the glass panel 6 due to temperature changes, avoiding glass breakage due to stress concentration.

[0047] In this embodiment, the cover 8 is arranged vertically in a continuous manner, and the cable fastener 1 is made of aluminum alloy in one piece. The continuous cover 8 provides a continuous and flat decorative surface for the glass curtain wall, enhancing the overall integrity and aesthetics of the curtain wall appearance, and also providing a high-quality installation carrier for the continuous decorative lines. The cable fastener 1, made of aluminum alloy in one piece, has the characteristics of being lightweight and high-strength. While ensuring structural strength, it reduces the self-weight of the curtain wall and reduces the load on the main structure 5. In addition, the good corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy can adapt to a variety of complex environments, reduce the frequency of maintenance, and extend the service life of the curtain wall.

[0048] In this embodiment, the glass panel 6 is installed on the support member 11 by structural adhesive or a slot (not shown in the figure). The support member 11 is integrally formed of stainless steel. The support member 11 is fixedly connected to the cable fastener 1 by screws 10. The support member 11 facilitates the precise positioning and installation of the glass panel 6, improves construction efficiency and installation accuracy, and ensures the quality of curtain wall installation.

[0049] In this embodiment, a number of screws 10 are provided to connect the pressure plate 9 and the vertical cable fastener 1, and the distance between the screws 10 does not exceed 350mm. The reasonable and densely distributed screws 10 can provide sufficient fastening force to ensure that the pressure plate 9 and the vertical cable fastener 1 are tightly connected.

[0050] In this embodiment, several vertical cable fasteners 1 are arranged on the vertical cable 3, and the distance between the cable fasteners 1 does not exceed 350mm. The multiple reasonably spaced vertical cable fasteners 1 are evenly distributed on the vertical cable 3, which can effectively disperse the load borne by the cable, avoid local stress concentration, ensure uniform stress on the cable, and improve the stability and reliability of the vertical cable 3 structure. At the same time, it provides multiple support and fixing points for the glass panel 6, ensuring that the glass panel 6 is firmly installed and enhancing the overall safety of the curtain wall.

[0051] In this embodiment, the cable fastener 1 is provided with four connecting holes arranged along the horizontal and vertical directions respectively. Each connecting hole corresponds to one bolt 2, forming a stable quadrilateral force-bearing structure, making the connection between the cable fastener 1 and the vertical cable 3 more stable and reliable.

[0052] The embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. This application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this application.
