Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of glass curtain walls, and in particular to a self-cleaning glass curtain wall structure. Background Technology

[0002] Glass curtain walls are an aesthetically pleasing and novel method of architectural wall decoration, a prominent feature of the modernist high-rise building era. While glass curtain walls enhance the aesthetics of buildings, cleaning them after they become dirty is a complex task. Currently, glass curtain wall cleaning is mainly done manually at height, with workers standing in suspended baskets lowered from the top of the building to clean the glass. This cleaning method poses significant safety hazards; careless operation can result in injury or death to cleaning personnel. Moreover, the cost per cleaning session is high, leading to low cleaning frequency and poor overall cleanliness.

[0003] To improve cleaning convenience and effectiveness, the existing glass curtain wall structure needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing cleaning methods, such as difficulty in cleaning, poor cleaning effect, and poor usability, and provides a self-cleaning glass curtain wall structure that is easy to clean, has a good cleaning effect, and is effective in use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a self-cleaning glass curtain wall structure, comprising: A base frame, wherein a glass frame is provided on the base frame, and curtain wall glass is installed on the glass frame; A cleaning block is installed on the outer surface of the bottom frame. The lower end of the cleaning block is provided with several spray holes that can spray cleaning liquid. A cleaning cloth is detachably connected to the bottom of the cleaning block and the cleaning cloth is in contact with the curtain wall glass. The power mechanism includes a drive group and a guide group, which are respectively installed on both sides of the bottom frame. The drive group is connected to the right side of the cleaning block and can drive the cleaning block to move along the curtain wall glass. The guide group is connected to the left side of the cleaning block. The outer frame is connected to the bottom frame, and the top of the outer frame and the bottom frame form a storage cavity, which can hold cleaning blocks.

[0006] This glass curtain wall structure includes a bottom frame and an outer frame, which are connected. A glass frame is installed on the bottom frame, and the curtain wall glass can be installed in the glass frame. The outer frame and the bottom frame can be designed to form a storage cavity, which is located at the top of the bottom frame. A cleaning block is provided on the upper surface of the bottom frame, and the cleaning block can be stored in the storage cavity when cleaning is not required. This curtain wall structure also includes a power mechanism, which includes a drive group and a guide group. The drive group and the guide group are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the bottom frame, with the drive group installed on the right side of the cleaning block and the guide group installed on the left side of the cleaning block. The drive group can drive the cleaning block to slide along the surface of the glass curtain wall, and the guide group can guide and ensure the stability of the cleaning block during movement. Meanwhile, the lower end of the cleaning block is equipped with a spray nozzle that sprays cleaning liquid outward to clean the glass curtain wall. Additionally, a cleaning cloth is also provided at the lower end of the cleaning block, which can come into contact with the glass curtain wall.
