Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hidden frame glass curtain wall technology, specifically to a fall prevention mechanism for hidden frame glass and a hidden frame glass curtain wall. Background Technology

[0002] A frameless glass curtain wall is a modern architectural curtain wall form that completely or partially conceals a metal frame behind glass. The glass is directly bonded to the aluminum or steel frame using structural adhesive, creating a continuous and transparent facade. Because frameless glass curtain walls eliminate the metal dividing lines of traditional curtain walls, achieving a "large glass surface" effect, they can create an architectural texture that blends solid and void. Therefore, they are widely used in public buildings such as airports, museums, opera houses, exhibition halls, and hospitals, not only satisfying people's aesthetic requirements for architecture but also improving the building's lighting needs.

[0003] In existing frameless glass curtain walls, the glass is fixed by attaching a subframe to the inside. As the structural adhesive used for this method ages, the supporting force of the subframe on the glass weakens. This poses a significant safety hazard, especially in scenarios where frameless glass curtain walls are exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods. Utility Model Content

[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a frameless glass curtain wall in one embodiment of the present invention. The frameless glass curtain wall includes a keel structure composed of columns 1 and beams 2, and multiple frameless glass 3s assembled on the keel structure. The frameless glass 3 can be hollow frameless laminated glass, and a fall prevention mechanism 4 is provided between every two adjacent frameless glass 3s to prevent the frameless glass 3 from falling off the frameless glass curtain wall.

[0023] In this embodiment, both the columns 1 and the beams 2 are made of steel. The length of the columns 1 is vertical or at a preset angle to the vertical and they are arranged sequentially. Multiple beams 2 are provided between two adjacent columns 1. Each beam 2 is connected to a column 1 at both ends, for example by welding or bolting. Two adjacent beams 2 and the columns 1 on the left and right sides form a grid, thus forming a grid-like keel structure. Each grid in this keel structure is fitted with a hidden frame glass 3 to form a hidden frame glass curtain wall. That is, the top of each hidden frame glass 3 is fitted onto one beam 2 and the bottom is fitted onto another beam 2. Correspondingly, each beam 2 connects to the bottom of one hidden frame glass 3 and the top of another hidden frame glass 3.

[0024] Each crossbeam 2 is equipped with at least one fall protection mechanism 4. The fall protection mechanism 4 includes a fixed base 40, a first fall protection fixing component 41, and a second fall protection fixing component 42. The fixed base 40, the first fall protection fixing component 41, and the second fall protection fixing component 42 can all be made of aluminum alloy. The fixed base 40 is provided with a fixing groove and is fixed to its corresponding crossbeam 2. The first fall protection fixing component 41 includes a first glass sub-frame 411 and a first glass mounting frame 412. The second fall protection fixing component 42 is provided with a second glass sub-frame 421 and a second glass mounting frame 422. The first glass mounting frame 412 and the second glass mounting frame 422 are both U-shaped frames. The first glass mounting frame 412 is connected to the bottom of the hidden frame glass 3 above the fall protection mechanism 4, and the second glass mounting frame 412 is connected to the top of the hidden frame glass 3 below the fall protection mechanism 4.

[0025] The first glass sub-frame 411 and the second glass sub-frame 421 are both U-shaped frames and are fixed in the fixing groove of the fixing base 40. Thus, the hidden frame glass 3 above and below the fall protection mechanism 4 are fixed to the crossbeam 2 by the fixing base 40, the first fall protection fixing member 41 and the second fall protection fixing member 42.

[0026] The method for assembling the frameless glass curtain wall provided in this embodiment includes: assembling the first glass mounting frame 412 of each fall arrest mechanism 4 to the bottom of the frameless glass 3 above it, assembling the second glass mounting frame 422 to the top of the frameless glass 3 below it, and assembling the fixed base 40 of each fall arrest mechanism 4 to its corresponding crossbeam 2; then fixing the first glass sub-frame 411 and the second glass sub-frame 421 of each fall arrest mechanism 4 to their corresponding fixed base 40, so as to improve the stability of each frameless glass 3 assembled on the keel structure.

[0027] As described above, in a frameless glass curtain wall, the top and bottom of each frameless glass pane 3 are fixed to the upper and lower crossbeams 2 respectively by corresponding anti-fall mechanisms 4. This improves the stability of each frameless glass pane 3 assembled on the keel structure. Even if the structural adhesive used to install the frameless glass pane 3 fails, the frameless glass pane 3 will remain in place and will not fall under the action of the anti-fall mechanism 4. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment can prevent frameless glass from falling and improve the safety of the frameless glass curtain wall without affecting its aesthetics.

[0028] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first glass sub-frame 411 and the second glass sub-frame 421 are disposed in the fixing groove of the fixing base 40, and the opening of the first glass sub-frame 411 is opposite to the opening of the second glass sub-frame 421. The fixing base 40 is further provided with a pressure block 43 in the fixing groove, the pressure block 43 is connected to the bottom of the fixing groove, and one frame edge of the first glass sub-frame 411 and one frame edge of the second glass sub-frame 421 are disposed between the pressure block 43 and the bottom of the fixing groove, thereby fixing the first glass sub-frame 411 and the second glass sub-frame 421 in the fixing groove of the fixing base 40.

[0029] In this embodiment, workers can install the pressure block 43 through the gap between the first anti-fall fastener 41 and the second anti-fall fastener 42 to install the first glass sub-frame 411 and the second glass sub-frame 421 in the fixing groove. This improves the ease of operation for fixing the first glass sub-frame 411 and the second glass sub-frame 421 and does not damage the first glass sub-frame 411 and the second glass sub-frame 421.

[0030] It is understood that the assembly method of the first glass sub-frame 411 and the second glass sub-frame 421 on the fixed base 40 in this embodiment is illustrative and not restrictive; in other embodiments, the first glass sub-frame 411 and the second glass sub-frame 421 can be connected to the fixed base 40 in other ways, for example, the first glass sub-frame 411 and the second glass sub-frame 421 can be connected to the bottom of the fixing groove with screws respectively, so as to assemble the first glass sub-frame 411 and the second glass sub-frame 421 into the fixed base 40.

[0031] In some embodiments of this utility model, a first screw hole is provided on the pressure block 43, a second screw hole is provided in the fixing groove at a position corresponding to the first screw hole, and a third screw hole is provided on the crossbeam 2 at a position corresponding to the first and second screw holes. The fixing bolt 431 connects to the first, second, and third screw holes, thereby connecting the pressure block 43 to the crossbeam 2 under the action of the fixing bolt 431. This fixes not only the first glass sub-frame 411 and the second glass sub-frame 421 in the fixing groove but also on the crossbeam 22, improving the reliability of the hidden frame glass 3 assembly on the keel structure.

[0032] In other embodiments, the pressure block 43 can be connected to the fixed base 40 in other ways. For example, the pressure block 43 can be nailed to the fixed base 40 by nailing. However, nailing is not convenient for disassembling the hidden frame glass 3. Therefore, in this utility model, it is preferred to use fixing bolts 431 to fix the pressure block 43 in the fixed base 40.

[0033] In this embodiment, the pressure block 43 is detachably connected to the fixing groove and the crossbeam 2 by the fixing bolt 431. This not only improves the convenience of installing the first anti-fall fixing member 41 and the second anti-fall fixing member 42, but also allows the hidden frame glass to be removed by disassembling the pressure block 43 when it is necessary to replace the hidden frame glass, thus improving the convenience of removing the hidden frame glass.

[0034] In some embodiments of this utility model, a first rubber pad 441 is provided between the first glass sub-frame 411 and the bottom of the fixing groove, and a second rubber pad 442 is provided between the second glass sub-frame 421 and the bottom of the fixing groove. A first rubber mounting groove 413 is provided on the side of the first glass sub-frame 411 near the bottom of the fixing groove, and the first rubber pad 441 is connected to the first rubber mounting groove 413 to prevent the first rubber pad 441 from shifting due to compression; a second rubber mounting groove 423 is provided on the side of the second glass sub-frame 421 near the bottom of the fixing groove, and the second rubber pad 442 is connected to the second rubber mounting groove 423 to prevent the second rubber pad 442 from shifting due to compression.

[0035] In this embodiment, since the rubber pads have the functions of being waterproof and dustproof, the first rubber pad 441 and the second rubber pad 442 can protect the fixed base 40 and reduce the damage caused by the environment to the fixed base 40.

[0036] In some embodiments of this utility model, a corresponding glass support 51 is provided at the bottom of each frameless glass 3. The glass support 51 can be made of steel and connected to the columns 1 on both sides, for example, by welding to the columns 1 on both sides, or by bolts detachably connecting to the columns 1 on both sides, to support the downward gravity of the frameless glass 3 and prevent it from falling off the keel structure.

[0037] Therefore, in this embodiment, a corresponding glass support 51 is provided at the bottom of each frameless glass 3, which can improve the stability of the frameless glass 3 on the keel structure and thus further improve the safety of the frameless glass curtain wall.

[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, a first structural adhesive 410 is provided between the first glass mounting frame 412 and the hidden frame glass 3 connected thereto, and a second structural adhesive 420 is provided between the second glass mounting frame 422 and the hidden frame glass 3 connected thereto.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first structural adhesive 410 can improve the connection strength between the first glass mounting frame 412 and its corresponding hidden frame glass 3, and the second structural adhesive 420 can improve the connection strength between the second glass mounting frame 422 and its corresponding hidden frame glass 3, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the hidden frame glass 3 assembled on the keel structure and reducing the probability of the hidden frame glass 3 falling.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, each fall protection mechanism 4 has a corresponding filling foam 52 between the first fall protection fixing member 41 and the second fall protection fixing member 42, and is sealed with sealant.

[0041] In this embodiment, a foam rod can be used as the filling foam, and double-sided adhesive is provided on both the upper and lower sides of the foam rod. After the first glass sub-frame 411 and the second glass sub-frame 421 are fixed to the fixed base 40, the foam rod is lowered and fixed between the first anti-fall fixing member 41 and the second anti-fall fixing member 42 under the action of the double-sided adhesive. Then, the foam rod is sealed with sealant to prevent dust and moisture from entering the fixed base 40.

[0042] In this embodiment, corresponding filling foam is provided and sealed between the first anti-fall fixing member 41 and the second anti-fall fixing member 42 of the anti-fall mechanism 4. This not only provides protection for the fixed base 40, but also provides support for the hidden frame glass 3 above, thereby further improving the safety of the hidden frame glass curtain wall.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, a plurality of first connecting holes are provided at the bottom of the fixing groove, and a second connecting hole is provided at each position corresponding to the first connecting hole on the crossbeam 2 corresponding to the fixing groove. Each first connecting hole and its corresponding second connecting hole are connected by nailing, so as to fix the fixing base 40 to the crossbeam 2 by connecting nail 45.

[0044] In this embodiment, the fixed base 40 is fixed to its corresponding crossbeam 2 by nailing, which can improve the convenience of assembling the fixed base 40.

[0045] In other embodiments, the fixed base 40 may be connected to its corresponding crossbeam 2 in other ways, such as by welding the fixed base 40 to its corresponding crossbeam 2, or by using bolts to detachably assemble the fixed base 40 onto its corresponding crossbeam 2.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, a third rubber pad 21 is provided between each fixed base 40 and its corresponding crossbeam 2.

[0047] In this embodiment, the third rubber pad 21 not only seals the crossbeam 2 to prevent dust and water from entering the interior of the crossbeam 2 and protects it, but also improves the vibration resistance of the fixed base 40 and filters noise.

[0048] In this embodiment, only one third rubber pad 21 can be provided between each fixed base 40 and its corresponding crossbeam 2, and a through hole corresponding to the second connecting hole can be provided on the third rubber pad 21 to facilitate the connection between the second connecting hole and the first connecting hole; alternatively, a corresponding third rubber pad 21 can be provided for each second connecting hole to seal and protect each second connecting hole on the crossbeam 2.

[0049] Some other embodiments of this utility model disclose a fall protection mechanism for frameless glass. This fall protection mechanism has the same structure and working principle as the fall protection mechanism 4 in the above embodiments. Since the fall protection mechanism 4 has been described in detail above, it will not be described in detail in this embodiment to avoid redundancy.

[0050] Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that although many exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
