Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building facade decoration and enclosure technology, specifically relating to a corner profile component for a continuous curved curtain wall. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most curtain wall profiles on the market adopt a flat panel structure. However, with the continuous development of the market, modern architectural facade designs increasingly pursue personalized and artistic styles. This trend makes it increasingly difficult for traditional flat curtain wall profiles to meet the diverse needs of the current market.

[0003] In contrast, curtain wall profiles with wavy exterior surfaces, through the interplay of light and shadow and enhanced three-dimensional layering, imbue the curtain wall with a dynamic aesthetic, significantly improving its three-dimensionality and layering, making the building facade more vibrant and lively. Furthermore, the improved mechanical properties of wavy planar profile components allow for more effective resistance to natural forces such as wind and snow pressure, further enhancing the safety and stability of the curtain wall. However, under current technological conditions, the corner treatment of curtain wall profiles with wavy exterior surfaces often relies on traditional right-angle splicing methods. This method, in practice, requires a high level of craftsmanship, which can lead to large, visually perceptible seams at the joints. Such seams not only severely detract from the overall aesthetic appeal of the curtain wall, making it appear less refined and harmonious, but more importantly, this splicing method may have structural weaknesses, leading to insufficient strength at the joints, thus reducing the overall safety performance of the curtain wall system and posing potential risks to the building's safety.

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention aims to provide a corner profile component for a continuous curved curtain wall to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a corner profile component for a continuous curved curtain wall, which has solved the defects in the above-mentioned technical background.

[0006] The technical problem solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0007] A corner profile component for a continuous curved curtain wall includes standard profiles, corner profiles, and edge sealing profiles used in combination;

[0008] Both the standard profile and the edge-sealing profile include an outer vertical edge and a connecting edge. The outer vertical edge is formed with curved units. The standard profile has a tongue and groove joint on the inner side of the outer vertical edge and a tongue and groove slot that matches the tongue and groove joint on the outer side. The connecting edge is formed on the inner side of the tongue and groove slot and is integrally formed with the outer vertical edge. The edge-sealing profile has a tongue and groove joint on the inner side of the outer vertical edge and uses the connecting edge as the outer surface on the outer side.

[0009] The angle profile includes an angled edge and a connecting edge in cross-section. The angled edge matches the angle of the curtain wall facade, and curved surface units are formed on the two outer edges of the angled edge. The angle profile has a tongue and groove slot on the outer side of the outer edge, and the connecting edge is formed on the inner side of the tongue and groove slot and is integrally formed with the outer edge on the corresponding side.

[0010] The base of the connecting edge is formed with a retaining folded edge, and the retaining folded edge is assembled and connected to the positioning keel by a fixing structural component.

[0011] As a further limitation, standard profiles, corner profiles, and edge-sealing profiles are all made of 6063-T5 aluminum alloy extrusion molding.

[0012] As a further limitation, both the standard profile and the edge-sealing profile are long strip profiles of fixed length. When in use, they are installed by cutting or butt-jointing in the length direction to compensate for the length, so as to adapt to the size requirements of different curtain walls.

[0013] As a further limitation, the curved surface unit is one of a single concave arc surface, a single convex arc surface, or a single wavy curved surface cycle unit; and after being assembled, the ratio of wavelength to wave height in the outer edge curved surface unit is 3:1, with an error range within ±10%.

[0014] As a further limitation, the fixing structure is one or a combination of plug-in structure, snap-fit ​​structure, fastening structure, and threaded fastening structure.

[0015] As a further limitation, the outer vertical edge and the connecting edge are formed with connecting reinforcing ribs at the connection position to improve the structural strength and stability of the profile.

[0016] As a further limitation, the angled profile has connecting plates formed on the back side of the curved units on both outer sides as a reinforcing structure.

[0017] As a further limitation, the two outer curved surface units of the angled profile are designed with a smooth transition structure at the connection.

[0018] As a further limitation, the connecting edge is perpendicular to the surface of the positioning keel during assembly, while the retaining fold is directly attached to the surface of the positioning keel.

[0019] Beneficial Effects: This utility model relates to a corner profile component for a continuous curved curtain wall. This component, through the assembly and connection of fixed edges and structural members with the positioning keel, significantly improves the firmness of the splice, effectively enhances the safety performance of the entire curtain wall system, and greatly reduces the safety risks caused by weak structures at the splice points. Furthermore, this design effectively solves the problems of unevenness and uneven sealant application that may occur during the installation of traditional aluminum panel curtain walls, and its visual effect is significantly superior to traditional aluminum single panels. This design not only greatly enhances the three-dimensionality and layering of the curtain wall but also successfully avoids the negative impact of exposed screws on aesthetics, further enhancing the dynamic beauty of the curtain wall. Simultaneously, the combination of curved units allows for more refined treatment of the corners of the curtain wall, demonstrating excellent adaptability and flexibility to wall surfaces of different sizes to be assembled, effectively avoiding the large-size seam problems caused by traditional right-angle splicing methods, thereby ensuring the overall aesthetics and harmony of the curtain wall.

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.

[0026] See Figures 1-4 A preferred embodiment of a corner profile assembly for a continuous curved curtain wall is provided. The corner profile assembly is used to be assembled at the corner of the load-bearing wall 6 and a complete curtain wall is obtained after assembly. The surface of the curtain wall has a continuous curved appearance and can completely cover the decorative effect of the load-bearing wall 6 (including the corner portion of the wall).

[0027] In this embodiment, the entire curtain wall is assembled from independently formed edge sealing profiles 3, standard profiles 4, and corner profiles 5, and is formed on the surface of the load-bearing wall 6. The corner reserved area between the side baffle profiles 1 and the window profiles 11 serves as decoration and enclosure.

[0028] The cross-sectional structure of the standard profile 4 in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it includes an outer edge and a connecting edge 16 perpendicular to the plane corresponding to the outer edge. The outer edge corresponds to the exterior facade of the curtain wall. In this embodiment, a concave arc surface is formed on the outer edge of the standard profile 4 as a curved surface unit 13.

[0029] The standard profile 4 has an inner side on its exterior edge corresponding to the corner of the load-bearing wall 6, with a tongue and groove joint 12 formed thereon for interlocking with other adjacent standard profiles 4 or angled profiles 5 to achieve a stable assembly. On the outer side opposite to the inner side, the exterior edge has a tongue and groove slot 14 that matches the tongue and groove joint 12, for receiving the tongue and groove joints 12 of adjacent profiles to ensure a tight fit between the components.

[0030] In this embodiment, in order to improve the insertion stability of the tongue and groove joint 12 and the tongue and groove slot 14, a rubber pad is added to the corresponding tongue and groove joint 12 before inserting the tongue and groove joint 12 with the rubber pad into the corresponding tongue and groove slot 14. This can effectively improve the sealing and stability of the insertion position, prevent wind and rain penetration, and ensure the service life and safety of the curtain wall.

[0031] The standard profile 4 has a connecting edge 16 formed on the inner side of the outer vertical edge inside the tongue and groove slot 14. The connecting edge 16 is used for support and fixation. The base of the connecting edge 16 has a fixing fold 15, and a fixing assembly part is reserved on the fixing fold 15. The standard profile 4 and the positioning keel 6, which is used as a fixing structure, are fixedly assembled at the fixing assembly part by fixing structural components.

[0032] In this embodiment, the angle profile 5 serves as an angle matching structure and is formed at the corner of the load-bearing wall 6. The angle profile 5 has two outer edges, each with a single concave arc surface as a curved surface unit 13. The included angle between the two outer edges corresponds to the corner of the load-bearing wall 6, which is 90° in this embodiment. However, in other embodiments, it can be adaptively adjusted according to specific corner requirements, such as 135° or 150°, to meet the requirements of different architectural designs.

[0033] The angle profile 5 extends outward on both sides of its cross-section, and the outer surface corresponding to the extended position is formed with the same tongue and groove slot 14 as the standard profile 4, so that the standard profile 4 can be stably assembled with the angle profile 5 by inserting the tongue and groove 12 and the tongue and groove slot 14. The angle profile 5 also has a connecting edge 16 with a retaining flange 15 formed on the outer edge of the inner side of the tongue and groove slot 14 on both sides. The angle profile 5 can be assembled and connected with the positioning keel 6 through the retaining flange 15 on the connecting edge 16 to ensure the stability of the corner position.

[0034] To improve the structural strength of the connection, the angle profile 5 has connecting plates 17 formed on the back of the two outer curved units 13. This design not only enhances the mechanical properties of the angle but also makes the overall structure more stable and effectively resists various external forces.

[0035] At the connection of the two outer curved surface units 13 of the angled profile 5, this embodiment is designed with a smooth transition structure. This detail not only enhances the visual aesthetics of the curtain wall, but also avoids stress concentration caused by abrupt changes in the curved surface, further enhancing the safety performance of the curtain wall.

[0036] In this embodiment, the edge banding profile 3 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, its structure is similar to that of the standard profile 4, also including an outer vertical edge and a connecting edge 16. The structural style of the outer vertical edge and the connecting edge 16 is also the same as that of the standard profile 4. The only difference is that the edge-sealing profile 3 does not have a tongue and groove slot 14 on the outside of the outer vertical edge, but only the connecting edge 16 as the outer side.

[0037] In this embodiment, when assembling the angle profile assembly, the positioning keel 6 is first installed on the surface of the load-bearing wall 1 using expansion bolts 7. Then, the angle profile 5 is mounted against the surface of the positioning keel 6 at the corner of the load-bearing wall 1, and the angle profile 5 is then fixed to the surface of the positioning keel 6 using self-tapping screws 8 at the two fixed folded edges 15 positions on both sides of the angle profile 5.

[0038] Then, starting from the corner profile 5, standard profiles 4 are assembled sequentially from the outer edges on both sides. During assembly, the standard profiles 4 are sequentially inserted into the tongue and groove joint 14 and the tongue and groove joint 12 through the mating structure. After the insertion is secure, the standard profiles 4 are assembled onto the surface of the positioning keel 6 using self-tapping screws 8 at the fixed edge 15 position, until the end position on the other side of the curtain wall structure is sealed with edge-sealing profiles 3. The sealing assembly method of edge-sealing profiles 3 is the same as that of standard profiles 4.

[0039] After assembly, to ensure the sealing and stability of the curtain wall, a sealing component 9 can be installed in the gap between the edge sealing profile 3 and the side baffle profile 2. Figure 1The combination of foam sealing strip 9 and sealant 10 shown is first used to insert the foam sealing strip 9 into the gap, and then the sealant 10 is applied to the surface of the foam sealing strip 9 to seal the gap, so as to ensure a complete seal at the insertion position and effectively prevent the penetration of external factors such as wind, rain and dust.

[0040] In this embodiment, all profiles, including edge-sealing profile 3, standard profile 4, and corner profile 5, are extruded from 6063-T5 aluminum alloy, ensuring the strength and corrosion resistance of the components. Simultaneously, the outer edge units of each profile have the same width, and the width is modularly based on 100mm, facilitating standardized production and on-site assembly. After assembly, the ratio of the concave wavelength to the wave height in the corresponding curved surface unit 13 is 3:1, with an error range within ±10%, ensuring the overall aesthetics and visual uniformity of the curtain wall.

[0041] In addition, edge banding profile 3, standard profile 4, and corner profile 5 are all long strip profiles of fixed length. When used, they are installed by cutting or butt-jointing in the length direction to compensate for the length, so as to adapt to the size requirements of different curtain walls.

[0042] Furthermore, the corner profile component of the continuous curved curtain wall in this embodiment, through the combination design of curved unit 13, makes the treatment of the curtain wall at the corner more refined, and the curved surface at the corner transitions smoothly. This not only enhances the three-dimensionality and layering of the curtain wall, but also successfully avoids the large-size splicing problem caused by the traditional right-angle splicing method, thereby ensuring the overall aesthetics and harmony of the curtain wall.

[0043] Meanwhile, the component adopts a standardized design, with each profile assembled via plug-in joints and fixing structural components, making installation convenient and quick, significantly improving construction efficiency and reducing installation costs. Furthermore, the component offers excellent adaptability and flexibility, allowing for customized production to meet the decorative and enclosure needs of walls of different sizes and shapes.

Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the technical content of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various alterations, modifications, and / or variations to this utility model, and all such equivalent forms also fall within the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
