Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glass railing construction technology, and in particular relates to a glass railing installed on the inside of a curtain wall column. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous evolution of modern building structures, curtain wall systems have been widely used in commercial office buildings, high-end residential buildings, and public buildings, becoming an important component of building facade design. Within curtain wall systems, to ensure both the safety and aesthetics of the building's exterior envelope, glass railings are often installed between the curtain wall columns. As a safety protection structure primarily used at the edges of buildings (such as balconies, platforms, staircases, or between exterior curtain wall columns), glass railings primarily function to prevent falls while also providing a transparent and clean visual effect.

[0003] In curtain wall structures, balustrade glass panels typically need to be connected to the curtain wall mullions at a certain angle. This places high demands on the adjustability of the connection structure's angle. Due to processing and installation deviations during curtain wall mullion construction, it is often difficult to maintain perfect alignment between the seam between adjacent balustrade glass panels and the curtain wall mullions. Therefore, on-site adjustment of the connection angle is required. However, traditional connection methods lack sufficient rotational adjustment capabilities, increasing construction difficulty and the possibility of installation errors.

[0004] In conclusion, although the existing glass railing structure installed on the inside of the curtain wall columns can meet basic functional requirements to a certain extent, it still has shortcomings in terms of installation angle adjustability. Utility Model Content

[0030] Combination Figures 1 to 9 This invention describes a glass railing installed on the inner side of a curtain wall column according to one embodiment of the present invention, which includes:

[0031] Curtain wall mullions 10 are installed on the outer side of the building's walls. (The last sentence appears to be incomplete and unrelated to the preceding text.) Figure 1 In one specific implementation shown, the curtain wall mullions form a certain angle with the vertical direction. During construction, two adjacent balustrade glass panels need to be connected and fixed to the nearest curtain wall mullion using connectors. However, because the joint between the two balustrade glass panels may be directly opposite the position of the curtain wall mullion (e.g., ... Figure 3 As shown), however, in most cases the two are difficult to align perfectly, and the joint and the curtain wall column are offset at a certain angle in the vertical direction (e.g. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, various types of connectors are needed during construction to accommodate different connection angles between the joints and the curtain wall columns.

[0032] The railing keel adapter rod 20 has its first end fixedly connected to the curtain wall column 10; its second end extends towards the wall of the building. In one specific embodiment, the railing keel adapter rod 20 is a solid or hollow structure with a cross-section that can be circular, rectangular, elliptical, or irregular to improve overall strength and installation adaptability. Its second end is provided with a plug-in portion that matches the connecting core, facilitating assembly and disassembly.

[0033] The rotatable connection assembly 50 includes a connector core 51, a connector sleeve 52, a railing keel 53, and a pressing plate 55. The connector core 51 is connected to the second end of the railing keel adapter rod 20. The connector sleeve 52 is installed on the outside of the connector core 51. The railing keel 53 includes a clamping connection part 531 and a pressing plate mounting part 532. The connector sleeve 52 is installed in the mounting cavity formed by the clamping connection part 531. The clamping connection part 531 is U-shaped or has other open structures. The size of the mounting cavity is slightly larger than that of the connector sleeve 52, allowing the connector sleeve 52 to be finely adjusted within the cavity through a clearance fit. Figure 8 As shown, the outer side of the connector sleeve has a flat surface, which is suitable for installing the connector sleeve in the clamping connection part; two adjacent railing glass 30 are respectively arranged on both sides of the pressing plate mounting part 532, the pressing plate 55 is connected to the pressing plate mounting part 532, and the pressing plate 55 fixes the railing glass 30 to the outside of the clamping connection part 531.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the glass railing installed inside the curtain wall mullions, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the connector core 51 has a slot for installing the railing keel adapter rod 20; the connector sleeve 52 has a core receiving groove for installing the connector core 51, and the connector core 51 is installed in the core receiving groove. The connector core 51 can be a cylindrical structure. The connector core 51 forms a pivotal connection that can rotate relative to each other by cooperating with the inner cavity of the connector sleeve 52 through the cylindrical structure of its outer surface, allowing continuous angle adjustment around the central axis to compensate for the installation deviation of the curtain wall column 10. The clamping connection part 531, the connector sleeve 52 and the connector core 51 are fixedly connected by screws 58; the pressing plate 55 is connected to the pressing plate mounting part 532 by screws 58.

[0035] A load-bearing base 40 is installed between the building floor slab and the bottom of the balustrade glass 30. In one specific embodiment, the load-bearing base 40 is a long strip structure made of stainless steel (the length of which is equal to that of the balustrade glass), which is fixed to the floor slab by expansion bolts or chemical anchors, and the bottom of the balustrade glass is supported by the top of the load-bearing base 40.

[0036] The installation process of the glass railing installed on the inside of the curtain wall column is as follows: First, the curtain wall column 10 is fixed to the preset position on the exterior wall of the building. Then, the first end of the railing keel adapter rod 20 is fixed to the curtain wall column by welding. Next, the connector core 51 and connector sleeve 52 are installed in sequence, and then the connector core 51 and connector sleeve 52 are inserted together into the mounting cavity of the clamping connection part 531. The angle is adjusted and the clamping connection part 531, connector sleeve 52 and connector core 51 are fixed together. Then, the railing glass 30 is placed on both sides of the pressing plate mounting part 532 and locked by the pressing plate 55. The load-bearing base 40 is installed on the floor slab to support the railing glass from the bottom, further improving the overall stability. This process achieves angle adjustment capability through the connector core 51 and connector sleeve 52, solving the problem of misalignment between the curtain wall column and the railing glass, which prevents installation.
