Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass curtain wall technology, and in particular to a curtain wall structure with a drainage path. Background Technology

[0002] Glass curtain walls, due to their transparency, aesthetics, and modern appeal, are widely used in modern architecture. As skylights, they not only provide excellent natural lighting but also enhance the overall appearance of the building. However, glass curtain walls used as skylights must withstand wind pressure and rain impacts. Figure 1 As shown, the top of the glass curtain wall is composed of multiple glass structures 100 connected together. Adjacent glass structures 100 are connected to each other by adhesive at the horizontal connection area 101 or the vertical connection area 102. The junction area 103 is the corner connection point of each glass structure 100, which is also connected by adhesive. After long-term exposure to wind and sun, the adhesive joints are prone to aging and shrinkage. During heavy rain, water may seep into the adhesive joints, and rainwater will drip directly into the indoor facilities below, causing damage and inconvenience. Utility Model Content

To this end, this invention proposes a curtain wall structure with a drainage path, the drainage path layout being reasonable, and the multi-stage guiding design effectively guiding water flow out.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A curtain wall structure with a drainage path includes: multiple downwardly inclined transverse water-guiding connecting frames disposed below transverse connecting areas, multiple downwardly inclined longitudinal water-guiding connecting frames disposed below longitudinal connecting areas, and multiple central connecting frames. The central connecting frame includes a first water-guiding frame structure disposed below the junction area and connected to the glass structure, and a second water-guiding frame structure disposed below the first water-guiding frame structure. The second water-guiding frame structure is connected to the adjacent transverse water-guiding connecting frames and the longitudinal water-guiding connecting frames, respectively.

[0007] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the side frame includes an upper connecting frame that is aligned with the corner of the glass structure above it, a lower connecting frame that is connected to the top of the second water-guiding frame structure, and a side connecting frame that connects the upper connecting frame and the lower connecting frame. Water in the junction area enters the first drainage cavity from the gap between the upper connecting frames.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first water guiding frame structure further includes a side baffle frame disposed on the outside of each of the side frames, and water on the bottom surface of the glass structure can enter the first drainage cavity along the gap between the side frame and the side baffle frame.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first water-guiding frame structure further includes a connecting structure for fixing the side frame to the second water-guiding frame structure.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the connecting structure includes a T-shaped pressure block and a fastener.

The layout is designed to divert water and ensure that rainwater can quickly flow to the drainage pipes on the outside of the curtain wall, reducing the risk of water accumulation and leakage. The drainage path layout is reasonable, and the multi-level guiding design effectively guides the water flow out. Attached Figure Description

[0022] This invention provides the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the various embodiments of the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to aid understanding, but these details should be considered exemplary only. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] It should be understood that when one element (e.g., the first element) is “connected” to another element (e.g., the second element), the element may be directly connected to the other element, or there may be an intermediary element (e.g., the third element) between the element and the other element.

[0025] An embodiment of this utility model provides a curtain wall structure with a drainage path, such as... Figure 1-5 As shown, the system includes, and is characterized by, a plurality of downwardly inclined transverse water-guiding connecting frames 201 disposed below the transverse connecting area 101, a plurality of downwardly inclined longitudinal water-guiding connecting frames 202 disposed below the longitudinal connecting area 102, and a plurality of central connecting frames 300. The central connecting frame 300 includes a first water-guiding frame structure 301 disposed below the junction area 103 and connected to the glass structure 100, and a second water-guiding frame structure 302 disposed below the first water-guiding frame structure 301. The second water-guiding frame structure 302 is connected to the adjacent transverse water-guiding connecting frames 201 and longitudinal water-guiding connecting frames 202, respectively.

[0026] In this embodiment, a central connecting frame 300 is located at the highest point. A downwardly inclined transverse water-guiding connecting frame 201 is connected to each of its left and right sides. The ends of these transverse water-guiding connecting frames 201 are connected to the next-level central connecting frame 300. A downwardly inclined longitudinal water-guiding connecting frame 202 is connected to each of its front and rear sides. The ends of these longitudinal water-guiding connecting frames 202 are connected to another next-level central connecting frame 300. The next-level central connecting frame 300 has a transverse water-guiding connecting frame 201 that is relatively upwardly inclined on one side of its left and right sides, and a transverse water-guiding connecting frame 201 that is relatively downwardly inclined on the other side of its left and right sides. It also has a longitudinal water-guiding connecting frame 202 that is relatively upwardly inclined on one side of its front and rear sides, and a longitudinal water-guiding connecting frame 202 that is relatively downwardly inclined on the other side of its front and rear sides, forming a channel for drainage downwards in stages. Each lower-level central connecting frame 300 is lower than the central connecting frame 300 above it, thus forming a self-draining frame located below each connecting area of ​​the glass structure 100. This connection method makes the entire curtain wall structure more stable and better able to withstand external forces. At the same time, the horizontal water-guiding connecting frames 201 and vertical water-guiding connecting frames 202 cover the area below the horizontal connecting area 101 and the vertical connecting area 102, serving as decorative strips. The glass structure 100 is fixed to the first water-guiding frame structure 301, improving the stability of the glass structure 100 and the overall stability of the curtain wall structure. Furthermore, the glass structure 100 can also be installed on both the horizontal water-guiding connecting frames 201 and the vertical water-guiding connecting frames 202 simultaneously. Water within the junction area 103 drips from above the first water-guiding frame structure 301 and flows from the bottom of the first water-guiding frame structure 301 into the second water-guiding frame structure 302. Water in the second water-guiding frame structure 302 is then discharged into the horizontal or vertical water-guiding connecting frame 201, which is inclined downwards relative to the second water-guiding frame structure 302. The downward inclination of the horizontal and vertical water-guiding connecting frames 201 and 202 allows the water to form a... Figure 2 The drainage path shown allows accumulated water to flow quickly to the drainage pipes on the outside of the curtain wall, reducing the time water stays on the connecting frame. The drainage path is designed inside the curtain wall's connecting frame, without additional drainage pipes or channels, thus not affecting the overall appearance of the curtain wall and maintaining the building's aesthetics.

[0027] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, the first water-guiding frame structure 301 includes a plurality of side frames 303 connected to the glass structure 100 and disposed above the second water-guiding frame structure 302. The top of the second water-guiding frame structure 302 and each of the side frames 303 enclose a first drainage cavity 304.

[0028] In practice, the bottom of the glass structure 100 is fixed to the top of the side frame 303 by applying adhesive, thus securing the glass structure 100 to the first water-guiding frame structure 301. One side frame 303 can fix one, two, or three glass structures 100, enhancing the stability of the entire curtain wall structure. It allows for the design and connection of irregularly shaped glass structures, enabling the curtain wall to maintain good performance and appearance even in harsh weather conditions. Water in the junction area 103 falls into the first drainage chamber 304 through the gap between the side frames 303, or through the opening at the top of the side frame 303, eliminating the need for additional drainage pipes or channels and achieving an integrated design for both fixing and drainage.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, the side frame 303 includes an upper connecting frame 305 that is aligned with the corner of the glass structure 100 above it, a lower connecting frame 306 that is connected to the top of the second water guide frame structure 302, and a side connecting frame 307 that connects the upper connecting frame 305 and the lower connecting frame 306. Water in the junction area 103 enters the first drainage chamber 304 from the gap between the upper connecting frames 305.

[0030] In this embodiment, the glass structures 100 at the top of the glass curtain wall are interconnected in groups of four. The upper connecting frames 305 are aligned with the corners of the glass structures 100, meaning there are four upper connecting frames 305 in the middle of the curtain wall. The spacing between each upper connecting frame 305 reduces mutual interference between the glass structures 100. The spacing is aligned with the junction area 103, allowing rainwater to smoothly enter the first drainage chamber 304 through the gaps between the upper connecting frames 305, preventing rainwater accumulation in the junction area 103 of the glass structures 100. The lower connecting frames 306, as a structure connected to the second water-guiding frame structure 302, improve stability. Specifically, the lower connecting frames 306 can be interconnected or spaced apart as in this embodiment. The side connecting frames 307 prevent water overflow.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first water guiding frame structure 301 also includes a side baffle 308 that is set outside each side frame 303. Water on the bottom surface of the glass structure 100 can enter the first drainage chamber 304 through the gap between the side frame 303 and the side baffle 308.

[0032] Due to temperature differences, condensation is likely to occur on the bottom surface of the glass structure 100. The side baffle 308 allows condensation to flow along the inclined bottom surface of the glass structure 100 into the gap between the side frame 303 and the side baffle 308. The bottom of the lower connecting frame 306 has a gap, allowing condensation to flow from the gap at the bottom of the lower connecting frame 306 into the first drainage chamber 304, and finally into the second water guide frame structure 302.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, the first water-guiding frame structure 301 also includes a connecting structure 316 for fixing the side frame 303 to the second water-guiding frame structure 302.

[0034] The connecting structure 316 not only ensures a firm connection between the side frame 303 and the second water guide frame structure 302, but the connecting structure 316 can fix each side frame 303 individually or fix multiple side frames 303 together.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, the connecting structure 316 includes a T-shaped pressure block 317 and a fastener 318. The T-shaped pressure block 317 includes a support column 319 that abuts downward against the top surface of the second water guide frame structure 302 and an outwardly extending arm 320 provided on the support column 319. The end of the outwardly extending arm 320 abuts against the upper surface of each lower connecting frame 306. The fastener 318 is used to fasten the T-shaped pressure block 317 to the top surface of the second water guide frame structure 302.

[0036] The support column 319 abuts tightly against the top surface of the second water-guiding frame structure 302, providing good support. The extendable arm 320 can press all the lower connecting frames 306 together at once. In practice, the end of the extendable arm 320 has a lower protrusion that abuts against the upper surface of the lower connecting frame 306, ensuring the firmness of the connection. The use of fasteners 318 further enhances the reliability of this connection. Specifically, the fasteners 318 can be one or more bolts that pass through the extendable arm 320 or the support column 319 and the second water-guiding frame structure 302, and are locked with nuts. The bottom of the support column 319 can also have a downwardly extending screw, which is directly clamped to the second water-guiding frame structure 302 by fasteners 318 such as nuts.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the support column 319 has a through groove for the fastener 318 to pass through, and the top of the second water guide frame structure 302 has a first through hole 322 for the fastener 318 to pass through, and water can enter the second water guide frame structure 302 along the first through hole 322.

[0038] Bolts and other fasteners pass through a through-groove extending downwards from the top of the support column 319, and protrude downwards from the top of the second water-guiding frame structure 302 via a first through-hole 322. The bolts are secured by threaded connections such as nuts, effectively installing and fixing the fasteners 318, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection structure 316. In practice, the first through-hole 322 is a slightly longer elongated hole than the fastener 318, cleverly utilizing it to allow water from the first drainage chamber 304 to flow into the second drainage chamber without needing to re-drill holes, thus forming a continuous and efficient drainage path.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom side of the support column 319 has a side groove 323 that connects to the through groove, and the top of the second water guide frame structure 302 has a groove 324 that is adapted to fit the bottom of the support column 319.

[0040] The side groove 323 provides an additional channel for drainage, ensuring that rainwater can flow smoothly into the groove 324 or through groove through the side groove 323. The fitting design between the groove 324 and the bottom of the support column 319 not only enhances the connection between the support column 319 and the second water guiding frame structure 302 and prevents the support column 319 from shifting, but also provides a clear guide for the drainage path, so that water in the first drainage chamber 304 can flow efficiently into the second drainage chamber through the first through hole 322 in the groove 324.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, the second water-guiding frame structure 302 includes a first transverse frame 309, a second transverse frame 310, a first longitudinal frame 311, and a second longitudinal frame 312 arranged in a cross shape. The top of the second water-guiding frame structure 302 is provided with a second through hole 314 that communicates with the first drainage cavity 304. The first transverse frame 309 and the second transverse frame 310 are arranged opposite to each other and connected to the transverse water-guiding connecting frame 201. The first longitudinal frame 311 and the second longitudinal frame 312 are arranged opposite to each other and connected to the longitudinal water-guiding connecting frame 202.

[0042] The cross-shaped frame facilitates connection with the adjacent cross-shaped longitudinal water-guiding connecting frames 202 and transverse water-guiding connecting frames 201 to the second water-guiding frame structure 302. Specifically, the first transverse frame 309 and the second transverse frame 310 of the second water-guiding frame structure 302 at its highest point are both connected to the transverse water-guiding connecting frames 201 that are inclined downwards relative to themselves; the first longitudinal frame 311 and the second longitudinal frame 312 of the second water-guiding frame structure 302 at its highest point are both connected to the longitudinal water-guiding connecting frames 202 that are inclined downwards relative to themselves. The remaining lower-level or second water-guiding frame structure 302 has its first transverse frame 309 connected to a transverse water-guiding connecting frame 201 that is inclined upward relative to the second water-guiding frame structure 302, its second transverse frame 310 connected to a transverse water-guiding connecting frame 201 that is inclined downward relative to the second water-guiding frame structure 302, its first longitudinal frame 311 connected to a longitudinal water-guiding connecting frame 202 that is inclined upward relative to the second water-guiding frame structure 302, its second longitudinal frame 312 connected to a longitudinal water-guiding connecting frame 202 that is inclined downward relative to the second water-guiding frame structure 302, and so on, to realize the channel connection of progressively inclined drainage. The second through hole 314 can be set at a position communicating with the first drainage chamber 304, so that water can fall into the second water-guiding frame structure 302 through the second through hole 314.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, the second water-guiding frame structure 302 also includes a partition frame 313 for separation, which is disposed in the center. The partition frame 313 is connected to the first horizontal frame 309, the second horizontal frame 310, the first vertical frame 311 and the second vertical frame 312 respectively. The second through hole 314 is disposed on the top of the partition frame 313, and the side of the partition frame 313 is provided with a third through hole 315.

[0044] In this embodiment, the partition frame 313 is connected to the first transverse frame 309, the second transverse frame 310, the first longitudinal frame 311, and the second longitudinal frame 312, forming a stable cross-shaped structure, which enhances the rigidity and deformation resistance of the entire frame. The second through hole 314 is located at the top of the partition frame 313, so that the water in the first drainage chamber 304 can only flow into the partition frame 313, and then drain through the third through hole 315 on the side of the partition frame 313 into the downwardly inclined longitudinal water guide connecting frame or transverse water guide connecting frame 201. At the same time, it reduces the impact force of the water flowing down in the upper-level central connecting frame 300, preventing it from being flushed out due to the gradual increase in pressure. The reasonable structural layout enhances the overall stability. In some embodiments, the second through hole 314 and the first through hole 322 are the same through hole.

[0045] The terms and words used in the foregoing description and claims are not limited to their literal meaning, but are merely used by the applicant to enable a clear and consistent understanding of the present invention. Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that the foregoing description of various embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and not intended to limit the present invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
