[0012] A further technical solution is that a first groove is formed at the front end of the embedded part; the second fixing part includes a second washer, a T-bolt and a second nut, the head of the T-bolt is inserted into the first groove, the T-bolt passes through the support and the second washer, and the second nut is threadedly connected to the T-bolt to fix the support and the embedded part together.

[0013] A further technical solution is that a first waist-shaped hole is horizontally opened on both sides of the support, and rods extend from both ends of the rod body and pass through the first waist-shaped hole; a second waist-shaped hole is vertically opened at the rear end of the support, and the second waist-shaped hole is for the T-bolt to pass through.

[0014] A further technical solution is that the first frame includes an upper beam, a lower beam, and inclined columns and upright columns disposed between the two ends of the upper beam and the lower beam. Angle brackets are inserted between the upper beam and the inclined columns, between the upper beam and the upright columns, between the lower beam and the inclined columns, and between the lower beam and the upright columns. Sealant is applied to the connection points at the four corners of the first frame to seal the connection points.

[0015] The recessed-convex glass curtain wall includes: a wall body with embedded parts at the front end; a first frame, having two sets, arranged parallel to the wall surface of the wall body, one first frame being a right-angled trapezoid and the other being an inverted right-angled trapezoid, with an inclined column at an adjacent end of the two first frames, the two inclined columns being parallel to each other and interlocked; an inclined unit connection structure, as described above, connecting the first frame and the wall body; and a second frame, snapped onto the front end of the first frame of the same size and shape, and bolted to the first frame.

[0016] A further technical solution is to provide hollow glass or a grille on the inner front end of the second frame.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment are as follows:

[0019] (I) The inclined unit connection structure and concave-convex glass curtain wall of this utility model embodiment have two sets of first frames, one of which is a right trapezoid and the other is an inverted right trapezoid. The inclined columns of the two first frames are parallel to each other. By fixing two hangers to the embedded parts, a first pad with the same shape is set on the opposite side of the inclined columns of the two first frames. The inclined waist of the first pad is parallel to the inclined column, so that the straight waist of the first pad is in a vertical state. The front end of the hanger is attached to one side of the straight waist. The first fixing member can pass through the hanger, the first pad and the inclined column in a horizontal state and fix the hanger, the first pad and the inclined column together.

[0036] First embodiment:

[0037] This embodiment discloses an inclined unit connection structure.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the inclined unit connection structure is used for glass curtain walls. The glass curtain wall includes a wall (not shown in the figure), a first frame 2, and embedded parts 1 embedded in the wall.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first frame 2 has two sets, arranged parallel to the wall surface. One first frame 2 is a right-angled trapezoid, and the other is an inverted right-angled trapezoid. The adjacent ends of the two first frames 2 have inclined columns 203, which are parallel to each other and interlocked. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, exemplarily, the front end is closer to the outside, and the rear end is farther from the outside. Taking a right-angled trapezoidal first frame 2 as an example, the first frame 2 includes an upper beam 201, a lower beam 202, and inclined columns 203 and upright columns 204 disposed between the two ends of the upper beam 201 and the lower beam 202. Angle brackets 21 are inserted between the upper beam 201 and the inclined column 203, between the upper beam 201 and the upright column 204, between the lower beam 202 and the inclined column 203, and between the lower beam 202 and the upright column 204 to facilitate installation, disassembly, and replacement. Sealant 22 is applied to the joints at the four corners of the first frame 2 to seal the joints, ensuring connection strength while improving the sealing performance of the first frame 2. In other embodiments, the upper beam 201, lower beam 202, inclined column 203, and upright column 204 can also be welded together.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the inclined unit connection structure includes a first pad 41, a hanger 4, and a first fixing member 5. There are two first pads 41, each with a shape corresponding to one of the two first frames 2 and located within the corresponding frame 2. The diagonal waists of the two first pads 41 are respectively attached to opposite sides of the two inclined columns 203. Here, "shape corresponding" means both are right-angled trapezoids or both are inverted right-angled trapezoids, but with different dimensions. There are two hangers 4, with their rear ends fixed to the embedded part 1 and their front ends extending to opposite sides of the two first pads 41. There are two sets of first fixing members 5, which pass through the hanger 4, the first pads 41, and the inclined columns 203, fixing them together. For example, the first fastener 5 includes a first washer 52, a first bolt 51 and a first nut 53. The first bolt 51 passes through the inclined column 203, the hanger 4 and the first washer 52 in sequence from inside the inclined column 203. The first nut 53 is threadedly connected to the first bolt 51 to fix the inclined column 203 and the hanger 4 together.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the first fixing member 5 further includes a second pad 54, which is sleeved on the outside of the first bolt 51 and located between the inner wall of the inclined column 203 and the head of the first bolt 51. The side of the second pad 54 near the inclined column 203 has an inclined surface parallel to the inclined column 203 to ensure that the bolt can pass through the inclined column 203 in a horizontal state, avoiding damage caused by bolt displacement due to force. The first fixing member 5 also includes an anti-rotation member 55, one end of which is engaged with the inner wall of the two inclined columns 203 to restrict the rotation of the anti-rotation member 55. The first bolt 51 passes through the anti-rotation member 55 and the head of the first bolt 51 is engaged in the other end of the anti-rotation member 55. After the first nut 53 is tightened, the first bolt 51 fixes the anti-rotation member 55 between the inner wall of the inclined column 203 and the second pad 54, and restricts the rotation of the first bolt 51.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 5-8As shown, the inclined unit connection structure further includes a first connecting component 3, which includes a support 31, a rod 32, and a limiting block 33. The support 31 is a vertically penetrating, semi-frame-shaped plate with its opening facing the front end, and its rear end is connected to the embedded part 1 via a second fixing member 34. The rod 32 is horizontally fixed inside the support 31. There are two limiting blocks 33, the lower end of which is snapped onto the rod 32 and screwed to the rod 32. The lower rear end of the hanger 4 is snapped onto the rod 32, and the rear end of the hanger 4 is snapped between the two limiting blocks 33. The hanger 4 also includes an adjusting bolt 42, which passes through the hanger 4 and is supported on the rod 32. By rotating the adjusting bolt 42, the hanger 4 undergoes threaded displacement relative to the adjusting bolt 42, and the hanger 4 drives the inclined column 203 to move up and down to adjust the vertical position of the first frame 2. For example, after the support 31 is fixed, its rear end is pressed against the wall. The rod 32 is a rectangular rod, with two extensions 321 extending from both sides of the rod 32, passing through both sides of the support 31. The extensions 321 are threadedly connected to the support 31 via a third nut 322, fixing the rod 32 to the support 31. A second groove 331 is formed at the lower end of the limiting block 33, into which the rod 32 is inserted, restricting the forward and backward movement of the limiting block 33 relative to the rod 32. A third groove 43 is formed at the lower end of the hanging piece 4, into which the rod 32 is inserted, restricting the forward and backward movement of the hanging piece 4 relative to the rod 32. A fourth groove 332 is formed at the rear end between the two limiting blocks 33. Locking blocks 44 extend from both sides of the rear end of the hanging piece 4, locking between the two fourth grooves 332, restricting the left and right movement of the hanging piece 4 relative to the rod 32.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, further, a first groove 11 is formed at the front end of the embedded part 1. The second fixing part 34 includes a second washer 342, a T-bolt 341 and a second nut 343. The head of the T-bolt 341 is inserted into the first groove 11. The T-bolt 341 passes through the support 31 and the second washer 342. The second nut 343 is threadedly connected to the T-bolt 341 to fix the support 31 and the embedded part 1 together.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, furthermore, the support 31 has horizontally formed first oblong holes 311 on both sides, and rods 321 extending from both ends of the rod 32 pass through the first oblong holes 311. The position of the rods 32 in the first oblong holes 311 is adjusted to adjust the front-rear position of the first frame 2. The support 31 has a vertically formed second oblong hole 312 at its rear end, through which T-bolts 341 pass. The position of the T-bolts 341 in the second oblong holes is adjusted to adjust the vertical position of the first frame 2.

[0045] In this embodiment, by fixing two hangers 4 to the embedded part 1, a first pad 41 of the same shape is set on one side of the two inclined columns 203. The diagonal waist of the first pad 41 is parallel to the inclined column 203, so that the straight waist of the first pad 41 is in a vertical state. The front end of the hanger 4 is attached to one side of the straight waist. The first fixing member 5 can pass through the hanger 4, the first pad 41 and the inclined column 203 in a horizontal state and fix the hanger 4, the first pad 41 and the inclined column 203 together. The structure is simple and easy to install. The hanger 4 used to fix the upright column 204 can also be used to fix the inclined column 203, saving design cost and material cost.

[0046] Second embodiment:

[0047] This embodiment discloses a concave-convex glass curtain wall.

[0048] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the concave-convex glass curtain wall includes a wall, a first frame 2, an inclined unit connection structure, and a second frame 6.

[0049] An embedded part 1 is embedded at the front end of the wall. The first frame 2 has two sets, arranged parallel to the wall surface. One first frame 2 is a right-angled trapezoid, and the other is an inverted right-angled trapezoid. The adjacent ends of the two first frames 2 have inclined columns 203, which are parallel to each other and interlocked. As in the first embodiment, the inclined unit connection structure connects the first frame 2 to the wall. The second frame 6 is snapped onto the front end of the first frame 2, which has the same size and shape, and is bolted to the first frame 2. A hollow glass 61 or a grille 62 is provided on the inner front end of the second frame 6.

[0050] like Figure 11 As shown, further, the first frame 2 is arranged vertically, and adjacent first frames 2 are interlocked. The concave-convex glass curtain wall also includes a third frame 7, which is a square frame parallel to the first frame 2. A hollow glass 61 is provided at the front end of its inner side, the sides are interlocked with the upright columns 204 of the first frame 2, and the rear end is connected to the wall. Exemplarily, the third frame 7 is connected to the wall via a second connecting component. The structure of the second connecting component is mostly the same as the first connecting component 3, except that the first pad 41 and the second pad 54 are omitted.

[0051] In this embodiment, by connecting the first frame 2 and the third frame 7 at the front end of the wall, and snapping the front end of the first frame 2 with the corresponding shape of the second frame 6, the concave-convex structure of the curtain wall facade is realized, thereby improving the aesthetics of the glass curtain wall.

[0052] 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.

[0053] 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.
