Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass curtain wall installation, specifically to a concealed support suspension for glass modules. Background Technology

[0002] In the architectural field, point-supported glass curtain walls are widely used due to their transparent and modern visual effect. The brackets used to support and fix the glass are key components for achieving their structural function. During curtain wall installation, due to construction errors, material deformation, and other factors, the positions of the pre-set support points on the curtain wall frame often deviate from the actual opening positions on the glass panels. Therefore, adjustable brackets have emerged as a solution.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN217630691U discloses a point-supported glass curtain wall splice structure. This structure features a rotatable and adjustable first mounting part between the base and the splice claw, and a movable and adjustable travel between the splice joint and the second mounting part of the splice claw. This allows each splice joint to be independently positioned within a certain range, thus solving the problem of mismatch between the support point and the opening. This solution improves the tolerance for positional errors during installation to a certain extent and provides a degree of adjustability.

[0004] However, in actual engineering applications, the deviation in the opening position of curtain wall glass is usually manifested as an overall deviation caused by the overall installation or measurement of the keel, rather than a deviation in a single hole position.

[0005] In this scenario, using the structure described in the comparative document, installers would need to perform independent, multi-step adjustments for each joint of a single pane of glass, including loosening the locking mechanism, rotating the joint claws, sliding the joint, and finally tightening multiple locking points one by one. This process is extremely cumbersome and time-consuming for large curtain wall projects, severely hindering overall construction efficiency.

[0006] Furthermore, since multiple joints need to be adjusted independently, it is difficult to guarantee the final accuracy of all adjustment points. Accumulated human error can easily lead to uneven stress on the support points of the same glass, which not only affects the final flatness and aesthetics of the curtain wall, but may also leave safety hazards in the long term.

[0007] Therefore, how to provide a support suspension that can efficiently and synchronously adjust multiple connectors is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in the field of glass curtain wall installation technology. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hidden support suspension for a glass module to solve the above problems. By rotating the adjustment column, all the outward expansion mechanisms can be driven synchronously through the threaded cylinder, so that the multiple connectors distributed around the connection plate can be moved synchronously. This simplifies the alignment operation and ensures the alignment accuracy of multiple connectors without having to adjust the position of each connector individually. See the following description for details.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: This utility model provides a hidden support suspension for a glass module, including a connecting plate and at least two sets of lower support arms. Each set of lower support arms has an upper support arm hinged to its outer end. The lower support arms and the upper support arms form a foldable outward expansion mechanism. Several sets of outward expansion mechanisms are distributed around the circumference of the connecting plate. An adjustment column is rotatably provided on the top of the connecting plate. A threaded cylinder is provided on the outside of the adjustment column that can be raised and lowered. The top of the upper support arm is hinged to the outer wall of the threaded cylinder. A connector is connected at the hinge point between the upper support arm and the lower support arm. The threaded cylinder drives multiple sets of outward expansion mechanisms to simultaneously open multiple connectors outward. The connector includes a top column and a fixing frame. The fixing frame is located on the outside of the top column. A fixing shaft is provided in the middle of the fixing frame to support the rotation of the near ends of the upper and lower support arms. A movable shaft is provided in the middle of the fixing frame outside the fixing shaft. The movable shaft passes through the fixing frame body on the opposite side of the hinge ends of the upper and lower support arms.

[0010] Using the aforementioned concealed support suspension for a glass module, a rotating adjustment column, through a threaded connection between the column and the threaded cylinder, drives the cylinder to rise and fall along the column's axis. This rise and fall of the cylinder synchronously displaces the tops of all upper support arms hinged to its outer wall. When the cylinder descends, the tops of the upper support arms are pressed down, driving the outward expansion mechanism formed by the upper and lower support arms to unfold outwards. Each set of outward expansion mechanisms opens synchronously. Since the connectors are located at the hinge points of the upper and lower support arms, the opening action of the outward expansion mechanism directly drives all connectors to move synchronously around the connecting plate, thereby adjusting their positions and allowing for quick docking with the pre-set installation openings of the glass curtain wall. During operation, the rotation of the connector at the hinge point caused by outward expansion is constrained by the movable shaft. The rotation of the movable shaft is synchronous with the rotation of the connector. The rotation of the movable shaft is restricted to the inside of the hinge point between the upper and lower support arms, and is limited by the upper and lower support arms. This ensures that the rotation amplitude of the connector caused by outward expansion is effectively limited. After expanding to the designated position, it can quickly rotate back to be perpendicular to the glass. At the same time, the limiting component, with the limiting rod and the guide frame cooperating with each other, connects the upper and lower support arms into a whole, effectively preventing the upper and lower support arms from lateral torsion when bearing the weight of the glass curtain wall. At the same time, the positional stability of the connector is simultaneously reinforced by the fixation of the guide frame and the connector, preventing the connector from lateral torsion.

[0011] Preferably, the movable shaft is threaded with a stud in the middle, one end of which is fixed with a pressure plate for abutting against the inclined surface of the top side of the lower support arm, and the other end of which is fixed with a knob.

[0012] Preferably, the movable shaft is rotatably coupled with the fixed frame.

[0013] Preferably, a pressure joint is provided at the end of the top column, and the pressure joint cooperates with the top column to fix the glass.

[0014] Preferably, the upper support arm has an upper movable groove in the middle, and the lower support arm has a lower movable groove in the middle, with the opening of the upper movable groove facing the same direction.

[0015] Preferably, a limiting component is provided between the upper support arm and the lower support arm. The limiting component includes two limiting rods respectively disposed in the upper movable groove and the lower movable groove. The limiting component also includes guide frames located on both sides of the upper support arm and the lower support arm, and the limiting rods and guide frames are slidably engaged.

[0016] Preferably, both ends of the limiting rod are fixed with constraint rings.

[0017] Preferably, each of the guide frames has a mounting ring fixed in the middle, and the two sides of the fixing frame are rotatably connected to the mounting ring.

[0018] Preferably, the connecting plate has multiple hinge seats corresponding to the lower support arm fixed around its circumference. The end of the lower support arm is rotatably engaged with the hinge seats. The top of the upper support arm is rotatably connected to a rotating seat. The sidewalls of the rotating seats are all fixedly connected to the threaded cylinder.

[0019] Preferably, the outer wall of the adjusting column is provided with an external thread that mates with the threaded inner wall of the threaded cylinder, and a mounting flange is fixed to the top of the adjusting column.

[0020] The beneficial effects are as follows: 1. This utility model can drive all the outward expansion mechanisms synchronously through the threaded cylinder by rotating the adjusting column, so that the multiple connectors distributed around it can move synchronously around the connecting plate, which simplifies the alignment operation and ensures the alignment accuracy of multiple connectors, without having to adjust the position of each connector individually. By setting the limiting components and stud pressure plate structure, the relative torsion and sway of the upper and lower support arms under load is effectively constrained, and the upper and lower support arms are stabilized into a whole, which improves the load-bearing stability when supporting. Multi-point synchronous positioning can be achieved through threaded cylinders and adjusting columns. Combined with standardized installation flanges and crimp fittings, the process of on-site measurement, positioning and fastening is simplified, and the installation time of the curtain wall is shortened.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] See Figures 1-6As shown, this utility model provides a hidden support suspension for a glass module, including a connecting plate 1 and at least two sets of lower support arms 2. Each set of lower support arms 2 has an upper support arm 3 hinged to its outer end. The lower support arms 2 and the upper support arms 3 form a foldable outward expansion mechanism. Several sets of outward expansion mechanisms are distributed around the circumference of the connecting plate 1. An adjustment column 5 is rotatably provided on the top of the connecting plate 1. A threaded cylinder 4 is provided on the outside of the adjustment column 5 that can be raised and lowered. The top of the upper support arm 3 is hinged to the outer wall of the threaded cylinder 4. A connector 6 is connected at the hinge point between the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2. The threaded cylinder 4 drives multiple sets of outward expansion mechanisms to simultaneously open multiple connectors 6 outward. The connector 6 includes a top post 601 and a fixing frame 602. The fixing frame 602 is located on the outside of the top post 601. A fixing shaft 603 is provided in the middle of the fixing frame 602 to support the rotation of the near ends of the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2. A movable shaft 604 is provided in the middle of the fixing frame 602 outside the fixing shaft 603. The movable shaft 604 passes through the frame of the fixing frame 602 on the opposite side of the hinge ends of the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2.

[0026] Rotating the adjusting column 5, since the adjusting column 5 and the threaded cylinder 4 are connected by a thread, this rotation will drive the threaded cylinder 4 to rise and fall along the axis of the adjusting column 5. The rising and falling of the threaded cylinder 4 will synchronously drive the top of all the upper support arms 3 hinged to its outer wall to produce synchronous displacement. When the threaded cylinder 4 descends, the top of the upper support arm 3 is pressed down, which in turn drives the outward expansion mechanism composed of the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2 to unfold outward, so that each group of outward expansion mechanisms opens synchronously. Since the connector 6 is set at the hinge of the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2, the opening action of the outward expansion mechanism will directly drive all connectors 6 to move synchronously around the connecting plate 1, thereby adjusting their position so that they can quickly connect with the pre-set installation opening of the glass curtain wall. During this expansion action, the rotation of the connector 6 at the hinge point caused by the outward expansion is constrained by the movable shaft 604. The movable shaft 604 passes through the opposite side of the hinge end of the upper arm 3 and the lower arm 2, and its rotation is restricted to the inside of the upper arm 3 and the lower arm 2. The limitation of the upper arm 3 and the lower arm 2 ensures that the rotation amplitude of the connector 6 caused by the outward expansion is effectively limited. After expanding to the designated position, it can quickly rotate back to the angle perpendicular to the glass. Finally, the synchronous opening action of the outward expansion mechanism will directly drive all connectors 6 to move synchronously around the connecting plate 1, thereby accurately adjusting their position and enabling them to quickly connect with the preset installation opening of the glass curtain wall.

[0027] See Figures 4-6As shown, in an optional implementation, a stud 605 is threaded into the middle of the movable shaft 604. A pressure plate 605a is fixed to one end of the stud 605, which abuts against the top inclined surface of the lower support arm 2. A knob 605b is fixed to the other end of the stud 605. The movable shaft 604 and the fixed frame 602 are rotatably engaged. After the glass module position is adjusted, the entire movable shaft 604 can be rotated to adjust the orientation of the stud 605 until the stud 605 is perpendicular to the top inclined surface of the lower support arm 2. Then, by rotating one end of the stud 605... The knob 605b drives the stud 605 to rotate. This rotation causes the stud 605 to move closer to the lower support arm 2, which in turn causes the pressure plate 605a to gradually approach and eventually press against the top inclined surface of the lower support arm 2. This pressing action fixes the relative position between the movable shaft 604 and the lower support arm 2. After the connector 6 is fixed to the glass curtain wall, if the connector 6 shakes, the movable shaft 604 will shake accordingly. The movable shaft 604 presses against the lower support arm 2, which can indirectly stabilize the position of the connector 6 and ensure the stability of the glass curtain wall under long-term load.

[0028] See Figures 1-6 As shown, a pressure connector 601a is provided at the end of the top post 601. The pressure connector 601a cooperates with the top post 601 to fix the glass. With this configuration, the preset mounting hole of the glass module is aligned with and passes through the top post 601 which has been adjusted in position. Then, the pressure connector 601a is engaged with the end of the top post 601 by tightening or snapping, so that the pressure connector 601a and the top post 601 together clamp the glass module.

[0029] See Figures 1-6 As shown, the upper support arm 3 has an upper movable groove 302 in the middle, and the lower support arm 2 has a lower movable groove 201 in the middle, with the opening of the upper movable groove 302 facing the same direction. A limit assembly 7 is provided between the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2. The limit assembly 7 includes two limit rods 702 respectively disposed in the upper movable groove 302 and the lower movable groove 201. The limit assembly 7 also includes guide frames 701 located on both sides of the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2. The limit rods 702 are slidably engaged with the guide frames 701, and constraint rings 702a are fixed at both ends of the limit rods 702. Each guide frame 701 has a mounting ring 703 fixed in the middle. The two sides of the fixing frame 602 are rotatably connected to the mounting ring 703. With this configuration, when the threaded cylinder 4 drives the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2 to perform outward or retracting movements, the relative rotation of the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2 will drive the limiting rod 702 in its internal movable groove to slide synchronously along the guide frames 701 on both sides. This allows the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2 to only perform outward and retracting movements between the two guide frames 701, and prevents lateral twisting or offset.

[0030] Meanwhile, the guide frame 701 is connected to the fixing frame 602 of the connector 6 by the mounting ring 703. When the weight of the glass curtain wall is applied to the connector 6, the mounting ring 703 transmits the torsional pressure borne by the connector 6 to the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2 through the guide frame 701. This prevents the connector 6 from twisting through the limiting component 7, which enhances the anti-torsion capability of the device and effectively prevents the connector 6 from lateral deformation due to excessive load, thereby ensuring the long-term safety and reliability of the glass curtain wall.

[0031] See Figures 1-5 As shown, the connecting plate 1 has multiple hinge seats 101 fixed around its circumference, corresponding to the lower support arm 2. The end of the lower support arm 2 is rotatably engaged with the hinge seat 101. The top of the upper support arm 3 is rotatably connected to a rotating seat 301. The side walls of the rotating seat 301 are all fixedly connected to the threaded cylinder 4. The rotating seat 301 provides a rotational foundation for the upper support arm 3, and the hinge seat 101 provides a rotational foundation for the lower support arm 2. The rotating seat 301 and the hinge seat 101 together provide a rotational foundation for the expansion mechanism composed of the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2.

[0032] See Figures 1-3 As shown, the outer wall of the adjusting column 5 has an external thread that mates with the inner thread of the threaded cylinder 4. The top of the adjusting column 5 is fixed with a mounting flange 501. When adjusting the position, the adjusting column 5 is rotated. The adjusting column 5 converts its rotational motion into linear motion of the threaded cylinder 4 along the axis of the adjusting column 5 through the engagement of the external thread on its outer wall with the inner thread of the threaded cylinder 4. The lifting action of the threaded cylinder 4 is further transmitted to the top of all the upper support arms 3, driving the expansion mechanism to perform expansion or retraction, thereby completing the synchronous adjustment of the position of the connector 6. During installation, after each connector 6 is fixed, the mounting flange 501 fixed to the top of the adjusting column 5 is connected to the main structure of the building by bolts and other fasteners. This allows the support suspension to obtain a fixed base point. After the mounting flange 501 and the connector 6 are fixed, the adjusting column 5 can no longer rotate, and the position of the connector 6 is stabilized.

[0033] Using the above structure, rotating the adjusting column 5, due to the threaded engagement between the adjusting column 5 and the threaded cylinder 4, will drive the threaded cylinder 4 to rise and fall along the axis of the adjusting column 5. The rising and falling of the threaded cylinder 4 will synchronously drive the tops of all the upper support arms 3 hinged to its outer wall to produce synchronous displacement. When the threaded cylinder 4 descends, the tops of the upper support arms 3 are pressed down, thereby driving the outward expansion mechanism formed by the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2 to unfold outward, so that each set of outward expansion mechanisms opens synchronously. Since the connector 6 is located at the hinge of the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2, the opening action of the outward expansion mechanism will directly drive all connectors 6 to move synchronously around the connecting plate 1, thereby adjusting their positions and making them quickly connect with the pre-set installation opening of the glass curtain wall. In this unfolding action, the connector 6 moves along the hinge. The rotation generated by the outward expansion is constrained by the movable shaft 604, and the rotation of the movable shaft 604 rotates synchronously with the rotation of the connector 6. The rotation of the movable shaft 604 is restricted to the inner side of the hinge between the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2. It is limited by the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2, which ensures that the rotation amplitude of the connector 6 generated by the outward expansion is effectively limited. After the outward expansion reaches the designated position, it can quickly rotate back to be perpendicular to the glass. At the same time, the limiting component 7, which is cooperated by the limiting rod 702 and the guide frame 701, connects the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2 into a whole, effectively preventing the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2 from lateral torsion when bearing the weight of the glass curtain wall. At the same time, the positional stability of the connector 6 is simultaneously reinforced by the fixation of the guide frame 701 and the connector 6, preventing the connector 6 from lateral torsion. By rotating the adjusting column 5, all the outward expansion mechanisms can be driven synchronously through the threaded cylinder 4, so that the multiple connectors 6 distributed around the connecting plate 1 can be moved synchronously. This simplifies the alignment operation and ensures the alignment accuracy of the multiple connectors 6, without having to adjust the position of each connector 6 individually.

[0034] By using the limiting component 7 and the structure of the stud 605 and pressure plate 605a, the relative torsion and sway of the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2 under load are effectively constrained, and the upper support arm 3 and the lower support arm 2 are stabilized into a whole, thereby improving the load-bearing stability during support.

[0035] Multi-point synchronous positioning can be achieved through threaded cylinder 4 and adjusting column 5. Combined with standardized mounting flange 501 and crimp connector 601a and other components, the process of on-site measurement, positioning and fastening is simplified, and the installation time of curtain wall is shortened.

[0036] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
