Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of curtain wall connection technology, specifically to an aluminum alloy curtain wall connector. Background Technology

[0002] Curtain wall connectors are commonly used to connect aluminum alloy profiles and glass components in curtain walls to ensure the stability and safety of the curtain wall. This includes the technology and experience related to material selection, manufacturing processes, and connection methods, as well as relevant standards and specifications. These background technologies are of significant guiding importance for the design and installation of curtain wall connectors, ensuring that the quality and performance of the curtain wall meet requirements. With the continuous development of building technology, the background technology of curtain wall connectors is also constantly being updated and improved to adapt to different building structures and design requirements.

[0003] The prior art patent application number is 202322779987.9, entitled "A Curtain Wall Connector," which includes a shock-absorbing component and a snap-fit ​​plate. The shock-absorbing component is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting plate. The shock-absorbing component includes a connecting seat, a damping spring rod, a connecting block, and a buffer spring. The damping spring rod is fixedly connected to one side inside the connecting seat, and there are multiple damping spring rods. The connecting block is movably embedded inside the connecting seat on the side away from the damping spring rod. The side of the connecting block facing the damping spring rod is fixedly connected to the damping spring rod. This invention improves the wind resistance of the curtain wall during its later use after installation by setting up shock-absorbing components. It will not loosen during long-term use, effectively improving the stability and safety of the curtain wall during use. However, the structural design of this shock-absorbing mechanism is relatively simple, mainly relying on spring deformation to achieve vibration buffering. However, due to the limited buffering capacity of the spring, the actual shock absorption effect is not ideal. In addition, in terms of the installation of the sealing limit plate, multiple fixing bolts are required to fasten the sealing limit plate to the snap-fit ​​plate. This connection method not only increases the complexity of assembly, but also makes the subsequent disassembly and maintenance work very cumbersome, significantly reducing the maintainability of the equipment. Therefore, we propose an aluminum alloy curtain wall connector. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an aluminum alloy curtain wall connector to solve the problem that the shock absorption mechanism proposed in the background art has a relatively simple structural design, mainly relying on spring deformation to achieve vibration buffering. However, due to the limited buffering capacity of the spring, the actual shock absorption effect is not ideal. The sealing and limiting plate is fastened to the snap-fit ​​plate by multiple fixing bolts. This connection method not only increases the complexity of assembly, but also makes the subsequent disassembly and maintenance work very cumbersome.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an aluminum alloy curtain wall connector, comprising an installation compartment and a snap-fit ​​plate, wherein the snap-fit ​​plate is located on one side of the installation compartment, and two friction rods are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation compartment. A buffer spring is sleeved on the outer side of each friction rod, and a moving block is slidably connected between the outer sides of the two friction rods. Two friction sleeves are embedded inside the moving block, and the inner side of each friction sleeve is in contact with the friction rod.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] A first repulsive magnet is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation chamber, and a second repulsive magnet is fixedly connected to one side of the moving block.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] A connecting block is fixedly connected to one side of the movable block, and one side of the connecting block extends to the outside of the installation compartment. One side of the connecting block is fixedly connected to the snap-fit ​​plate.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The top and bottom of the snap-fit ​​plate are fixedly connected to docking chambers. The inner wall of the docking chamber is fixedly connected to a first phase magnet. The inside of the docking chamber is provided with an annular groove, and one side of the docking chamber is provided with a through groove.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] A sealing limiting plate is provided on one side of the snap-fit ​​plate. The top and bottom of the sealing limiting plate are fixedly connected to mounting bases, and a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting base.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] One end of the rotating rod extends into the inner cavity of the docking chamber, and a second phase magnet is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The second phase magnet is attracted to the first phase magnet, and two locking rods are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod, with the locking rods located inside the annular groove.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. When the aluminum alloy curtain wall connector is impacted by strong winds during the use of the curtain wall, it will cause the snap-fit ​​plate and the connecting block on the snap-fit ​​plate to move into the installation chamber. This movement of the moving block connected to the connecting block will compress the buffer spring on the friction rod, causing the buffer spring to deform. At the same time, when the moving block moves, the friction sleeve inside the moving block rubs against the friction rod to generate damping force. This, together with the deformed buffer spring, will buffer the impact. Furthermore, the movement of the moving block will cause the second repulsive magnet installed on the moving block to move closer to the first repulsive magnet in the installation chamber, generating a repulsive force, which will further buffer the impact. This effectively improves the buffering of the impact force generated by strong winds.

[0020] 2. This aluminum alloy curtain wall connector, by inserting the rotating rod on the mounting base located on the sealing limiting plate into the positioning chamber on the snap-fit ​​plate, causes the second phase magnet on the rotating rod to attract the first phase magnet in the docking chamber. Then, by rotating the rotating rod, the locking rod on the rotating rod rotates from the through groove to the annular groove, preventing the rotating rod from moving vertically and fixing the sealing limiting plate. During disassembly, by rotating the rotating rod, the locking rod on the rotating rod moves from the annular groove to the position coinciding with the through groove. Then, the sealing limiting plate can be pulled to move the locking rod on the rotating rod through the positioning chamber at the position of the through groove, thus disassembling the sealing limiting plate. This allows for quick and convenient installation and disassembly of the sealing limiting plate. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] This utility model provides an aluminum alloy curtain wall connector that can effectively buffer the impact of strong winds and allows for quick and convenient installation and removal of the sealing limit plate. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-5 This includes the installation compartment 100 and the snap-fit ​​plate 200;

[0031] Please refer to it again. Figure 1-5 Two friction rods 110 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation chamber 100. A buffer spring 111 is sleeved on the outer side of each friction rod 110. A moving block 120 is slidably connected between the outer sides of the two friction rods 110. Two friction sleeves 121 are embedded inside the moving block 120, and the inner side of each friction sleeve 121 contacts the friction rod 110. A first repulsive magnet 130 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation chamber 100. A second repulsive magnet 140 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving block 120. A connecting block 150 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving block 120. One side of the connecting block 150 extends to the outer side of the installation chamber 100, and one side of the connecting block 150 is fixedly connected to the snap-fit ​​plate 200. During the use of the curtain wall body, it is subjected to... When a strong wind impacts the mounting chamber 100, it causes the snap-fit ​​plate 200 and the connecting block 150 on the snap-fit ​​plate 200 to move into the mounting chamber 100. This causes the moving block 120 connected to the connecting block 150 to move and compress the buffer spring 111 on the friction rod 110, causing the buffer spring 111 to deform. At the same time, as the moving block 120 moves, the friction sleeve 121 inside the moving block 120 rubs against the friction rod 110 to generate a damping force. This, together with the deformed buffer spring 111, buffers the impact. Meanwhile, the movement of the moving block 120 causes the second repulsive magnet 140 installed on the moving block 120 to move closer to the first repulsive magnet 130 inside the mounting chamber 100, generating a repulsive force, which further buffers the impact.

[0032] In summary, it can effectively improve the buffering effect against the impact of strong external winds;

[0033] Please refer to it again. Figure 1-5The snap-fit ​​plate 200 is located on one side of the mounting chamber 100. A docking chamber 210 is fixedly connected to both the top and bottom of the snap-fit ​​plate 200. A first-phase magnet 220 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the docking chamber 210. An annular groove 230 is formed inside the docking chamber 210, and a through groove 240 is formed on one side of the docking chamber 210. A sealing limiting plate 250 is provided on one side of the snap-fit ​​plate 200. A mounting base 260 is fixedly connected to both the top and bottom of the sealing limiting plate 250. A rotating rod 270 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting base 260. One end of the rotating rod 270 extends into the inner cavity of the docking chamber 210, and a second-phase magnet 271 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 270. The second-phase magnet 271 is attracted to the first-phase magnet 220. Two locking rods 280 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod 270. The locking rods 280 are located in the annular groove 230. Inside the groove 230, by inserting the rotating rod 270 on the mounting base 260 on the sealing limit plate 250 into the positioning chamber on the snap plate 200, the second phase magnet 271 on the rotating rod 270 attracts the first phase magnet 220 in the docking chamber 210. Then, by rotating the rotating rod 270, the locking rod 280 on the rotating rod 270 rotates and moves from the through groove 240 into the annular groove 230, preventing the rotating rod 270 from moving vertically and fixing the sealing limit plate 250. When disassembling, by rotating the rotating rod 270, the locking rod 280 on the rotating rod 270 moves from the annular groove 230 to the position that coincides with the through groove 240. Then, the sealing limit plate 250 can be pulled to move the locking rod 280 on the rotating rod 270 through the positioning chamber in the through groove 240, and the sealing limit plate 250 can be disassembled.

[0034] In summary, the sealing limit plate 250 can be installed and removed quickly and easily;

[0035] In practical use, when the curtain wall is impacted by strong winds during its operation, the snap-fit ​​plate 200 and the connecting block 150 on the snap-fit ​​plate 200 will move into the mounting chamber 100. This causes the moving block 120 connected to the connecting block 150 to move, compressing the buffer spring 111 on the friction rod 110 and deforming it. Simultaneously, as the moving block 120 moves, the friction sleeve 121 inside the moving block 120 rubs against the friction rod 110, generating a damping force. This, combined with the deformed buffer spring 111, buffers the impact. Furthermore, the movement of the moving block 120 causes the second repulsive magnet 140 mounted on the moving block 120 to move closer to the first repulsive magnet 130 inside the mounting chamber 100, generating a repulsive force, further buffering the impact. The rotating rod 270 on the mounting base 260 on the sealing limit plate 250 is inserted into the positioning chamber on the snap-fit ​​plate 200, so that the second phase magnet 271 on the rotating rod 270 attracts the first phase magnet 220 in the docking chamber 210. Then, by rotating the rotating rod 270, the locking rod 280 on the rotating rod 270 rotates and moves from the through groove 240 into the annular groove 230, so that the rotating rod 270 cannot move vertically, thus fixing the sealing limit plate 250. When disassembling, by rotating the rotating rod 270, the locking rod 280 on the rotating rod 270 moves from the annular groove 230 to the position that coincides with the through groove 240. Then, the sealing limit plate 250 can be pulled to move the locking rod 280 on the rotating rod 270 through the positioning chamber in the through groove 240, thus disassembling the sealing limit plate 250.
