Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of curtain wall technology, and in particular to a large-span curtain wall support system. Background Technology

[0002] Some iconic buildings use sloping and large-span glass curtain walls to enhance their artistic expression and showcase the uniqueness of their architectural design.

[0003] Installing this type of tilted glass curtain wall requires first installing the keel at an angle on the main building structure, and then fixing the curtain wall to the keel. However, the tilt angle of the glass curtain wall may vary on different building surfaces, and even on different locations within the same building. Each tilt angle requires a separately installed, compatible keel. When the existing tilted keel angle changes, the crossbeams need to be individually fitted with aluminum foil according to the installation angle, leading to increased construction costs.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a large-span curtain wall support system to simplify the installation of inclined curtain walls.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] The large-span curtain wall support system includes:

[0008] The main building structure includes vertical sides and a horizontal bottom surface; main body connectors are provided on the sides.

[0009] The lower end of the side extends outward from the main body of the building to form the bottom surface; a first ear plate is vertically provided on the bottom surface;

[0010] A column is vertically installed on the main building structure; a second ear plate is vertically installed at the lower end of the column; and a column connector is also installed on the column.

[0011] A crossbeam is horizontally mounted on the column;

[0012] The first ear plate is hinged to the second ear plate; the column connector is connected to the main body connector through a threaded connector; the columns and beams are combined horizontally and vertically to form an integral frame on the main building body.

[0013] A further technical solution is that the column connector and the main body connector are respectively provided with a first elongated hole; all the threaded connectors pass through the first elongated hole at the same time.

[0014] A further technical solution is that a pad is provided between the threaded connector and the main connector.

[0015] A further technical solution is that a second elongated hole is provided on the pad; the number of the second elongated holes corresponds to the number of the threaded connectors; and each threaded connector passes through one of the second elongated holes.

[0016] A further technical solution is that, along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the threaded connector, the first elongated hole and the second elongated hole are set at an acute angle.

[0017] A further technical solution is that a connecting plate is provided at the lower end of the column; the second ear plate is provided on the connecting plate; the connecting plate is arranged perpendicular to the column; and the second ear plate is arranged perpendicular to the connecting plate.

[0018] A further technical solution is that the first ear plate and the second ear plate are connected by a pin; a connecting hole is opened on the first ear plate and the second ear plate respectively; the pin passes through the first ear plate and the second ear plate simultaneously along the connecting hole; the length direction of the pin is perpendicular to the rotation plane of the column.

[0019] A further technical solution is that the column connector is U-shaped, and the U-shaped column connector is mounted on the column.

[0022] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0023] (1) The large-span curtain wall support system of this utility model has columns and beams on the main building to support the curtain wall. The lower end of the column is hinged to the bottom surface, and the column is connected to the side surface through column connectors and main body connectors to fix the column to the main building at an angle. The beams are fixed on the inclined columns to form an inclined overall frame. The curtain wall is set on the inclined overall frame, that is, it is installed at an angle. Since the lower end of the column is hinged to the bottom surface, the tilt angle of the column can be easily adjusted by adjusting the relative position of the column connectors and the main body connectors, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the overall frame. The above angle adjustment can be completed by adjusting the position between the column connectors and the main body connectors. It can be adjusted on-site, which is convenient, quick and easy, and simplifies the installation of the entire curtain wall.

[0024] (2) Furthermore, the column connector and the main body connector are respectively provided with a first elongated hole, and the pad is provided with a second elongated hole. The threaded connector extends into the first elongated hole along the second elongated hole, and its position can be adjusted along the first elongated hole to meet the requirements of relative displacement of the curtain wall.

[0025] (3) Furthermore, the column connector is U-shaped and covers the column, increasing the contact area between the column connector and the column, thereby improving the connection strength between the column and the column connector. Attached Figure Description

[0036] Figure 3 A partial enlarged view of a large-span curtain wall support system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown at point A.

[0037] Figure 4 A partially enlarged view of point B is shown of a large-span curtain wall support system according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The large-span curtain wall support system includes a main building body 3, comprising vertical side panels 32 and a horizontal bottom surface 31. Main body connectors 51 are installed on the side panels 32. The bottom surface 31 extends outward from the lower end of the side panels 32. A first ear plate 41 is vertically installed on the bottom surface 31. Columns 1 are vertically installed on the main building body 3. A second ear plate 12 is vertically installed at the lower end of each column 1. Column connectors 13 are also installed on each column 1. Horizontal beams 2 are horizontally installed on each column 1. The columns 1 and horizontal beams 2, combined horizontally and vertically, form an integral frame on the main building body 3 to support the curtain wall.

[0038] The first ear plate 41 is hinged to the second ear plate 12, and the column connector 13 is connected to the main body connector 51 via a threaded connector 7 to fix the column 1 to the building body 3 at an angle. The threaded connector 7 can be a stud nut. The crossbeam 2 is fixed to the inclined column 1, forming an inclined overall frame. The curtain wall is set on the inclined overall frame, i.e., it is installed at an angle. The lower end of the column 1 is hinged to the bottom surface 31. The tilt angle of the column 1 can be easily adjusted by adjusting the relative position of the column connector 13 and the main body connector 51, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the overall frame. The above angle adjustment can be completed by adjusting the position between the column connector 13 and the main body connector 51, and can be adjusted on-site. For example, different positions of the column connection on the column 1 can be welded, or different positions of the main body connector 51 can be welded on the side 32. The angle adjustment of the column 1 is convenient and quick, thus simplifying the installation of the entire curtain wall.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 4 The column connector 13 and the main body connector 51 are each provided with a first elongated hole 131. All threaded connectors 7 pass through the first elongated hole 131 simultaneously. Along the length of the first elongated hole 131, the relative positions of the threaded connectors 7 with the column connector 13 and the main body connector 51 can be adjusted to meet the requirements of relative displacement of the curtain wall.

[0040] Preferably, a washer 71 is further provided between the threaded connector 7 and the main connector 51. The washer 71 has a second elongated hole. The number of second elongated holes corresponds to the number of threaded connectors 7. Each threaded connector 7 passes through a single second elongated hole, preventing interference between threaded connectors 7 within the first elongated hole 131.

[0041] More preferably, along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the threaded connector 7, the first elongated hole 131 and the second elongated hole are set at an acute angle. When the threaded connector 7 passes through both the first elongated hole 131 and the second elongated hole simultaneously, its vertical position is completely restricted by the intersecting first elongated hole 131 and the second elongated hole, preventing the threaded connector 7 from...

[0042] Figure 5 A cross-sectional view at point C is shown of a large-span curtain wall support system according to an embodiment of this disclosure. Please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 5 A connecting plate 11 is provided at the lower end of the column 1. A second ear plate 12 is provided on the connecting plate 11. The connecting plate 11 is set perpendicular to the column 1, and then the second ear plate 12 is set perpendicular to the connecting plate 11. The second ear plate 12 is set at the end of the column 1, so that the second ear plate 12 is parallel to the axis of the column 1, which facilitates the rotation of the column 1 and the second ear plate 12 around the pin 6.

[0043] Preferably, the column connector 13 is U-shaped and covers the column 1. The U-shaped column connector 13 increases the contact area between the column connector 13 and the column 1, thereby improving the connection strength and stability between the column 1 and the column connector 13.

[0044] More preferably, at least two threaded connectors 7 are provided between the column connector 13 and the main body connector 51. Two or more threaded connectors 7 simultaneously connect the column connector 13 and the main body connector 51. Multiple threaded connectors 7 cooperate to connect the column connector 13 and the main body connector 51, and each threaded connector 7 bears stress evenly, thereby improving the connection stiffness between the column connector 13 and the main body connector 51.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 The first ear plate 41 and the second ear plate 12 are connected by a pin 6. Connecting holes 121 are respectively provided on the first ear plate 41 and the second ear plate 12. The pin 6 passes through both the first ear plate 41 and the second ear plate 12 along the connecting holes 121. The length direction of the pin 6 is perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the column 1. The second ear plate 12 is rotated about the pin 6 to adjust the tilt angle of the column 1.

[0046] Preferably, an embedded part 4 is provided on the bottom surface 31, which facilitates fixing the first ear plate 41 to the bottom surface 31. The first ear plate 41 is welded to the embedded part 4. A truss 5 is provided on the side surface 32. The main body connector 51 is welded to the truss 5 to connect to the side surface 32.

[0047] The installation process of this utility model is as follows:

[0048] An embedded part 4 is pre-installed on the bottom surface 31. During on-site construction, the first ear plate 41 is welded to the preset position on the embedded part 4 according to the length and inclination angle of the column 1, and the main connecting part 51 is welded to the preset position on the truss 5. Subsequently, the column 1, connecting plate 11, and second ear plate 12 are welded, and the column connecting part 13 is welded to the preset position on the column 1 according to the length and inclination angle of the column 1. The welding between the column 1, connecting plate 11, and second ear plate 12 can be completed in the workshop. The welding between the column 1 and the column connecting part 13 can be adjusted according to the specific installation conditions on site before welding. Finally, the on-site installers connect the first ear plate 41 and the second ear plate 12 with the pin 6, and connect the column connecting part 13 and the main connecting part 51 with the threaded connector 7.

[0049] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0050] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
