Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building curtain wall decoration technology, specifically to a grid curtain wall structure. Background Technology

[0002] The construction of traditional decorative grilles presents numerous challenges. Traditional decorative grilles often require factory assembly before being transported to the construction site for installation. This process involves multiple coordinated steps, from material cutting and component assembly to final molding, resulting in a relatively long cycle. This not only extends the overall project duration but also increases the risk of damage due to size limitations or road conditions during transport. Furthermore, the structural design and connection methods of traditional grille frames make it difficult to achieve an ideal suspended effect. Connections often rely on welding, which not only compromises the integrity of the grille surface and affects its overall aesthetics but also leads to stress concentration, cracking, and corrosion over long-term use. This reduces the grille's stability and lifespan, resulting in a poor overall decorative effect. Authorization Announcement No.: CN 211080700 U, Application Date: August 27, 2019, Utility Model Name: Vertical Decorative Grille and Curtain Wall. This utility model discloses a vertical decorative grille and curtain wall. The vertical decorative grille includes: a frame; a connecting structure connecting the frame and the curtain wall to fix the vertical decorative grille to the curtain wall; and grille strips, each grille strip having a cavity, the cavity wall of which has a protruding connecting portion, the frame being connected to the connecting portion to fix the frame to the grille strip. This utility model's vertical decorative grille can save installation materials and reduce material costs.

[0003] In the aforementioned prior art, the fixing method, where the grille bars are of equal length and both ends are connected to the cover plate, limits the presentation of the suspended effect of the grille structure. Because each grille bar is firmly fixed to the cover plate, the overall shape appears heavy and dull.

[0004] Furthermore, the grid strips are spaced evenly, and both ends of the grid strips are connected to the cover plate, which is a very conventional grid design. This design has obvious limitations in terms of styling flexibility, and the evenly spaced arrangement can easily make the building's appearance appear monotonous and rigid. Utility Model Content In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, such as the limitation on the suspended effect of the grid structure, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a grid curtain wall structure that presents a suspended effect.

[0005] The technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: 1. A grid curtain wall structure, characterized in that it comprises: The edge grid tubes are located at both ends of the structure, and the edge grid tubes are provided with openings that do not penetrate the tube wall; A central grid tube is provided, which is spaced between the side grid tubes. The central grid tube has a through hole that penetrates the tube wall, and the axial direction of the through hole is consistent with the axial direction of the hole on the side grid tube. A connecting pipe is inserted into the opening of the side grid pipe and the through hole of the middle grid pipe to suspend the middle grid pipe between the side grid pipes. Fastening assembly, the fastening assembly being used to adjust the spacing between the edge grid tubes and the middle grid tubes and the spacing between adjacent middle grid tubes, and simultaneously to fix the grid structure formed by the edge grid tubes, the middle grid tubes and the connecting tubes; The edge grid tubes are parallel to the middle grid tubes; the length of the edge grid tubes is not less than the length of the middle grid tubes; and the axis of the opening in the edge grid tube is perpendicular to the axis of the edge grid tube itself.

[0006] Furthermore, the central grid tubes are arranged at equal intervals.

[0007] Furthermore, the central grid tubes are arranged at non-equidistant intervals.

[0008] Furthermore, the openings of the edge grid tubes located at the first and last ends are arranged opposite to each other; The two ends of the connecting pipe abut against the bottom surface of the openings of the edge grid pipes at both ends.

[0009] Furthermore, along the height direction of the edge grid tube, the edge grid tube is connected to the exterior wall of the building body via an installation assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, the central grid tube includes a suspended tube and a continuous tube, wherein the length of the suspended tube is less than the length of the continuous tube; Along the length of the connecting pipe, the suspended pipe and the continuous pipe are alternately spaced.

[0011] Furthermore, the through pipe is the same length as the edge grid pipe; along the height direction of the edge grid pipe, the through pipe is connected to the exterior wall of the building main body through an installation component.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the edge grid tubes has at least two openings along its own height direction; Each of the central grid tubes has at least two through holes along its own height direction; The spacing between two adjacent openings on the edge grid tube is equal to the spacing between two adjacent through holes on the middle grid tube.

[0013] Furthermore, the openings of the edge grid tube and the through holes of the middle grid tube are provided with internal threads, and the connecting tube is provided with external threads that are compatible with the internal threads.

[0014] Furthermore, the fastening component is a nut.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages: (1) The stepped length difference between the edge grid tube and the middle grid tube of this utility model creates a natural layered foundation for the building facade. This staggered change in length allows the building facade to present a clear sense of height and undulation, breaking the monotonous flatness of traditional grid design and making the building appearance more three-dimensional. (2) The spacing between the grid tubes of this utility model can be flexibly adjusted to enhance the dynamic visual effect of the building facade. The grid tubes in the middle can be set at equal intervals or at non-equal intervals, such as a gradual arrangement from dense to sparse or from sparse to dense, which can create a rhythmic visual rhythm on the building facade and make the static grid structure generate dynamic visual tension. This visual effect that varies with the spacing can make the building present a variety of appearances under different angles and lighting conditions, further enhancing the building's attractiveness and uniqueness, while also providing designers with more space for creative expression and meeting personalized design needs.

They are not intended to limit the scope of the invention and therefore have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effectiveness and purpose of the invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this utility model. Furthermore, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and "middle" used in this specification are merely for clarity and not intended to limit the scope of implementation. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of the invention's implementation.

[0020] Through the arrangement and combination of metal tubes (such as spacing, direction, and material differences), grid curtain walls can create a rhythmic and layered facade effect, giving buildings a unique visual identity.

[0021] The openwork structure formed by the metal tube grille can block some direct sunlight, reduce indoor heat gain in summer, and lower air conditioning energy consumption; at the same time, it will not completely block natural light. The design of the grille spacing can balance the indoor lighting needs, avoid glare caused by strong direct sunlight, and create a comfortable indoor lighting environment.

[0022] Example 1 This application discloses a grid curtain wall structure comprising an edge grid tube 1, a middle grid tube 2, a connecting tube 3, a fastening assembly 4, and an installation assembly 5. The specific arrangement of each component is as follows: The edge grid tube 1 and the middle grid tube 2 are parallel to each other and serve as the basic frame components of the grid curtain wall. There are at least two edge grid tubes 1, located at both ends of the grid curtain wall. The tubes have openings on their walls. The openings are blind holes that do not penetrate the edge grid tube 1, and the axis of the openings is perpendicular to the axis of the edge grid tube 1 itself. The middle grid tube 2 has several tubes, which are spaced apart between the side grid tubes 1 at both ends. Each middle grid tube 2 has a through hole on its tube wall, and the axis of the through hole is consistent with the axis of the hole on the side grid tube 1 to ensure precise alignment with the hole on the side grid tube 1. The connecting pipe 3 is inserted into a set of openings in the first and last edge grid pipes 1 and the corresponding through holes in all the middle grid pipes 2. In this way, the middle grid pipes 2 are suspended and connected to the edge grid pipes 1.

[0023] The fastening component 4 is sleeved on the connecting pipe 3 and is used to adjust the distance between the edge grid pipe 1 and the middle grid pipe 2 as well as the distance between adjacent middle grid pipes 2. At the same time, the fastening component 4 cooperates with the connecting pipe 3 to fix the edge grid pipe 1 and the middle grid pipe 2 to form a stable grid structure.

[0024] More specifically, the openings of the edge grid tubes 1 at both ends are precisely aligned: the line connecting the center point of the opening on the first edge grid tube 1 and the center point of the corresponding opening on the last edge grid tube 1 is perpendicular to the axis of the edge grid tube 1, and this line passes precisely through the axis of the corresponding through holes on all the middle grid tubes 2, forming a set of coaxial through channels. The two ends of the connecting tube 3 are tightly abutted against the bottom surfaces of the openings of the edge grid tubes 1 at both ends.

[0025] The edge grid tube 1 is connected to the exterior wall of the building through the mounting components 5. Preferably, the mounting components 5 are provided at both the upper and lower ends along the height direction of the edge grid tube 1 to improve the stability of the connection with the exterior wall of the building. The mounting components 5 may specifically include aluminum alloy angle brackets and countersunk screws. The countersunk screws play a key role in fixing the aluminum alloy angle brackets to the exterior wall of the building. The screw heads can be completely sunk into the pre-made screw holes of the aluminum alloy angle brackets, which not only ensures the flatness of the connection part and reduces the safety hazards caused by protruding structures, but also effectively prevents the screws from being damaged by external impacts.

[0026] Alternatively, countersunk screws can be omitted from mounting component 5, and the aluminum alloy angle bracket can be directly welded to the edge grid tube 1.

[0027] In addition, snap-fit ​​connections are also a viable option. Slots matching the aluminum alloy corner brackets are provided at both ends of the edge grid tube 1, and corresponding tabs are designed on the aluminum alloy corner brackets. During installation, simply align the tabs with the slots and press firmly to achieve a quick connection. This connection method offers high installation efficiency and significantly shortens construction time, making it suitable for projects with tight schedules. To enhance the stability of the connection, a special structural adhesive can be applied to the snap-fit ​​joints to further improve overall robustness.

[0028] The length of the edge grid tube 1 is not less than the length of the middle grid tube 2, and the middle grid tube 2 includes a suspended tube 21 and a continuous tube 22, with the length of the suspended tube 21 being less than the length of the regular tube 22. Specifically, the length relationship is as follows: edge grid tube 1 ≥ regular tube 22 > suspended tube 21. This stepped length difference lays the foundation for the sense of layering on the building facade.

[0029] The two ends of the central grid tube 2 do not extend beyond the two ends of the side grid tube 1, thus creating a suspended effect. At the same time, the suspended tube 21 and the continuous tube 22 are arranged alternately to create a textured and varied pattern, which can be adapted to various architectural styles such as modern, minimalist, and industrial, thereby enhancing the artistic beauty and recognizability of the building.

[0030] Of course, the central grid tube 2 can also be arranged in a more flexible manner: for example, it can be arranged in an alternating combination of "two suspended tubes 21 + two continuous tubes 22" to enhance the sense of suspended sequence through the superposition of repeating units. In other words, the arrangement of the suspended tubes 21 and the continuous tubes 22 can be flexibly adjusted according to the architectural style and design requirements.

[0031] For example, the central grid tubes 2 can be arranged at equal or unequal intervals, with a greater emphasis on breaking the sense of regularity through variations in density, creating a more rhythmic suspended effect. Gradual arrangements from dense to sparse or from sparse to dense can create a rhythmic visual flow on the building facade, giving the static grid structure dynamic visual tension. This visual effect, varying with spacing, allows the building to present diverse appearances under different angles and lighting conditions.

[0032] It is worth noting that when the continuous tube 22 is the same length as the edge grid tube 1, the continuous tube 22 not only plays a suspended role, but also serves as a metal tube fixed to the building facade. Like the edge grid tube 1, it is connected and fixed to the building facade through the installation component 5.

[0033] To ensure the stability of the grid structure, the edge grid tube 1 has at least two openings along its height, and the middle grid tube also has at least two through holes along its height. It is worth noting that the number of openings and through holes is consistent, and the spacing between two adjacent openings and the spacing between two adjacent through holes are also exactly equal, thus ensuring that the two can be precisely aligned during assembly.

[0034] Meanwhile, the openings of the edge grid tube 1 and the inner walls of the through holes of the middle grid tube 2 are both machined with internal threads, while the outer wall of the connecting tube 3 used to connect the two is correspondingly provided with external threads that are compatible with the internal threads. This threaded connection method forms a tight locking structure through helical interlocking, which can effectively resist external pulling and vibration impact, further enhancing the overall structural stability of the grid.

[0035] Based on this, the fastening component 4 used for reinforcing the connection is preferably a nut. Specifically, on the side of the edge grid tube 1 that is relatively close to the middle grid tube 2, the nut is tightened onto the external thread of the connecting tube 3. The close fit between the nut and the wall of the edge grid tube 1 effectively limits the edge grid tube 1 and prevents it from displacing axially along the connecting tube 3.

[0036] Meanwhile, along the length of the connecting pipe 3, both sides of the suspended pipe 21 are also double-limited by nuts. The nuts on both sides abut against the pipe walls at both ends of the suspended pipe 21 to form a bidirectional fixation, further ensuring the stability of the installation position of the suspended pipe 21 on the connecting pipe 3 and avoiding loosening or movement due to external forces.

[0037] When the length of the through pipe 22 is less than that of the edge grid pipe 1, that is, when the through pipe 22 cannot be effectively connected to the building structure, both sides of the through pipe 22 also need to be double-limited by nuts. The nuts on both sides abut against the pipe walls at both ends of the through pipe 22 to form a two-way fixation.

[0038] The cross-sections of the edge grid tube 1 and the middle grid tube 2 can be square or circular. Both cross-sectional shapes have uniform stress performance, which can ensure structural stability when undertaking connection and support functions.

[0039] Example 2 The installation steps for this application are as follows: During on-site installation, the first edge grid tube 1 should be installed first and then fixed to the exterior wall of the building using the installation component 5. It should be noted that the last edge grid tube 1 should not be installed initially, to reserve space for the assembly of subsequent components. Subsequently, the central grid tube 2 and the fastening components are arranged in an orderly manner. After the arrangement is completed, the connecting tubes 3 are sequentially inserted into the openings of the arranged side grid tubes 1 and the through holes of the central grid tube 2. Among them, the shorter suspended tubes 21 need to be used with fastening components 4. Each suspended tube 21 is equipped with two fastening components 4, and the fastening components 4 are respectively arranged on both sides of the suspended grid to initially define the position of the suspended tubes 21. After the above components are installed, the end of the connecting pipe 3 is inserted into the opening of the end edge grid pipe 1, and the end edge grid pipe 1 is also fixed to the exterior wall of the building through the mounting component 5. This completes all installation steps.

[0040] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above illustratively. This description is not restrictive, and the figures shown are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
