Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of curtain wall hoisting technology, and in particular relates to a glass suspension device in curtain wall installation. Background Technology
[0002] In the installation of building curtain walls, the hoisting of curtain wall glass is a crucial and highly challenging process. Currently, most curtain wall glass hoisting devices on the market are designed specifically for different glass shapes, mainly falling into two categories: hoisting devices for flat curtain wall glass and hoisting devices for curved curtain wall glass.
[0003] However, this design approach for specialized lifting equipment has significant limitations. On the one hand, construction teams need to be equipped with various types of lifting equipment to handle curtain wall glass of different shapes, which undoubtedly increases the cost of equipment procurement and the complexity of storage management. On the other hand, in actual construction, there are often situations where both flat and curved curtain wall glass exist in the same project. If specialized lifting equipment is used, frequent switching between different lifting equipment is required, which not only reduces work efficiency but may also cause safety hazards due to improper operation during equipment changeover.
[0004] More importantly, the lack of versatility in existing lifting equipment limits its flexible application in complex and ever-changing construction environments. With continuous innovation in architectural design, the shapes and structures of curtain walls are becoming increasingly complex, placing higher demands on the adaptability and versatility of lifting equipment. Therefore, developing a universal lifting equipment capable of simultaneously meeting the lifting needs of both planar and curved curtain wall glass has become a pressing technical challenge in the field of building curtain wall installation.
[0005] This utility model is proposed in response to this technical background, aiming to achieve a dual lifting capability of a lifting device through innovative structural design and functional integration, namely, it can stably lift flat curtain wall glass and efficiently lift curved curtain wall glass.
[0006] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the general background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a glass suspension device for curtain wall installation. Through innovative structural design, it achieves multiple uses and can simultaneously and stably suspend flat and curved curtain wall glass, solving the problems of existing suspension devices having single function, poor versatility, and requiring multiple devices, resulting in high cost and low efficiency.
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model relates to a glass suspension device for curtain wall installation, comprising glass suction cups, an air pump, an air tank, a battery, a suspension fixing frame, two suspension sub-frames, and two air distribution connection valve assemblies mounted on the air tank. The suspension fixing frame includes a suspension upright; two pairs of horizontal bars are vertically fixed to opposite sides of the lower half of the suspension upright, and the ends of the two pairs of horizontal bars are respectively hinged to a suspension sub-frame via a pair of hinge seats; two longitudinal bars are vertically fixed to the other side of the lower half of the suspension upright; a vertically arranged rectangular plate is fixed to the ends of the two longitudinal bars; a glass suction cup is installed at each of the four corners of the rectangular plate, and one of the air distribution connection valve assemblies is connected to the four glass suction cups through four first air guide pipes; two glass suction cups are installed on one of the suspension sub-frames, and the other air distribution connection valve assembly is connected to the four glass suction cups through four second air guide pipes.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the air pump and the air tank are respectively fixed on the side of the rectangular plate opposite to the suspension pole, and a battery box for installing the battery is fixed on the rectangular plate; a suspension ring is fixed at the upper end of the suspension pole.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the suspension subframe includes a rectangular frame; one side of the rectangular frame is hinged to the ends of the two transverse rods via two hinge seats; and two glass suction cups are installed on the opposite side of the rectangular frame.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a positioning baffle is vertically fixed to the side of the rectangular plate adjacent to the end of the longitudinal rod; a first through hole is provided on the positioning baffle; and two second through holes are provided on the rectangular frame.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, when the two glass suction cups installed on the suspension subframe are flush with the four glass suction cups installed on the rectangular plate, the rectangular frame contacts the positioning baffle surface, and the rectangular frame and the positioning baffle are connected and fixed by bolts and nuts.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the gas distribution connection valve group includes a three-way pipe fixedly connected to the gas tank; a first ball valve is installed on the first branch pipe of the three-way pipe connected to the gas tank; a second ball valve is installed on the second branch pipe of the three-way pipe; a gas distribution chamber is fixedly connected to the end of the third branch pipe of the three-way pipe; and four gas inlets are fixedly connected through the gas distribution chamber.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: This invention has the dual capability of hoisting both flat and curved curtain wall glass. By adjusting the position and angle of the suspension subframe, it can flexibly adapt to the hoisting needs of curtain wall glass of different shapes.
[0015] In the hoisting of flat curtain wall glass, this invention features a suspension fixing frame and two suspension sub-frames securely connected by bolts and nuts, forming a stable structure where eight glass suction cups simultaneously adhere, ensuring the smoothness of the hoisting process. When hoisting curved curtain wall glass, the angle difference between the suspension sub-frames and the suspension fixing frame prevents the formation of a parallelogram structure, thus avoiding instability factors during hoisting and ensuring the reliability of the hoisting process.
[0016] This utility model's suspension subframe connects to the suspension fixing frame via a hinge, allowing for easy rotation and angle adjustment to accommodate curtain wall glass of different shapes. The design of the gas distribution connection valve group simplifies airflow distribution and control; the negative pressure of the glass suction cup can be quickly adjusted by regulating the ball valve.
[0017] This invention is not only applicable to the hoisting of curtain wall glass of different shapes, but can also be customized and adjusted according to specific project needs, exhibiting strong adaptability and versatility. The overall design of the device is ingenious, with reasonable connections and layouts between components, a compact structure, and a small footprint, facilitating on-site handling and installation.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. Specific Implementation Example 1: Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a glass suspension device for curtain wall installation, which has the dual capability of suspending both flat and curved curtain wall glass. The device mainly includes a glass suction cup 3, an air pump 4, an air tank 5, a battery, a suspension fixing frame 1, two suspension sub-frames 2, and two air distribution connection valve groups 6 installed on the air tank 5.
[0029] The suspension bracket 1 includes a suspension pole 11, with two pairs of transverse rods 12 vertically fixed to one opposite side of its lower half. The ends of the two pairs of transverse rods 12 are each hinged to a suspension sub-frame 2 via a pair of hinge seats. Two longitudinal rods 13 are vertically fixed to the other side of the lower half of the suspension pole 11, with vertically arranged rectangular plates 14 fixed to the ends of the two longitudinal rods 13. A glass suction cup 3 is installed at each of the four corners of the rectangular plate 14, and one of the gas distribution valve groups 6 is connected to these four glass suction cups 3 via four first air guide pipes. A vacuum pump 4 and an air tank 5 are respectively fixed to the sides of the rectangular plate 14 opposite to the suspension pole 11. A battery box 15 for installing batteries is also fixed on the rectangular plate 14 to provide power to the vacuum pump 4. The vacuum pump 4 draws air from the air tank 5, placing it under negative pressure. A negative pressure switch is installed on the air tank 5 to control the start and stop of the vacuum pump 4. Once the set negative pressure is reached, the vacuum pump 4 stops drawing air. A suspension ring 18 is fixed to the upper end of the suspension pole 11, which is used to suspend the entire device on the lifting equipment.
[0030] The suspension subframe 2 includes a rectangular frame 21, one side of which is hinged to the ends of two horizontal bars 12 via two hinge seats, allowing the suspension subframe 2 to rotate around the hinge point. Two glass suction cups 3 are mounted on the opposite side of the rectangular frame 21 for adhering to the curtain wall glass.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, when it is necessary to hoist the flat curtain wall glass, the suspension fixing frame 1 and the two suspension sub-frames 2 are connected together by four sets of bolts and nuts 7. At this time, the adsorption surfaces of the four glass suction cups 3 on the two suspension sub-frames 2 and the four glass suction cups 3 on the suspension fixing frame 1 are on the same plane, forming a stable structure in which eight glass suction cups 3 simultaneously adsorb and hoist the flat curtain wall glass. The gas distribution connection valve group 6 provides negative pressure to all glass suction cups 3 through the gas guide pipe to ensure that the glass is firmly adsorbed.
[0032] like Figure 2-3 As shown, when hoisting curved curtain wall glass, first remove the four sets of bolts and nuts 7 to allow the two suspension sub-frames 2 to rotate freely. Then, rotate the two suspension sub-frames 2 in the opposite direction and adjust them to a position where their axes are nearly perpendicular to the curved curtain wall glass for adsorption. In this state, activate the gas distribution valve group 6, and the four glass suction cups 3 on the two suspension sub-frames 2 will stably adhere to the curved curtain wall glass. Because there is an angle difference between the suspension sub-frames 2 and the suspension fixing frame 1, a parallelogram structure is not formed when hoisting the curved curtain wall glass, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the hoisting process.
[0033] The gas distribution valve assembly 6 specifically includes a three-way pipe 61 fixedly connected to the gas tank 5. A first ball valve 62 is installed on the first branch of the three-way pipe 61 connected to the gas tank 5 to control the flow of air. A second ball valve 63 is installed on the second branch of the three-way pipe 61. A gas distribution chamber 64 is fixedly connected to the end of the third branch of the three-way pipe 61. Four air inlets 65 are fixedly installed through the gas distribution chamber 64, each connected to the glass suction cup 3 via a guide pipe to achieve negative pressure distribution and control. Specifically, when adsorbing glass, the gas distribution valve assembly 6 closes the second ball valve 63 and opens the first ball valve 62 to create a negative pressure adsorption environment for the glass suction cup 3. After the curtain wall glass is hoisted and installed in place, the first ball valve 62 is closed first, and then the second ball valve 63 is opened to release the negative pressure adsorption of the glass suction cup 3.
[0034] One specific application of this embodiment is as follows: During curtain wall installation, the position and angle of the suspension subframe 2 are adjusted according to the type of curtain wall glass (flat or curved), and the negative pressure of the glass suction cup 3 is controlled by the gas distribution valve group 6 to achieve safe and stable glass hoisting. This device is ingeniously designed, compact in structure, and easy to operate, greatly improving the efficiency and safety of curtain wall installation.
