Description

  The present invention relates to a curtain wall unit arranged in parallel to the outer periphery of a building, and a curtain wall including the curtain wall unit, and more particularly to a double skin curtain wall unit and a curtain wall.

  The curtain wall only has to be mounted on the building frame with a pre-assembled curtain wall unit with metal fittings. In addition to being excellent in workability, it can meet the recent demands for glass-based appearance. It is increasingly used in buildings.

  The curtain wall unit has a single skin curtain wall that separates the interior and the exterior by a single glass panel, and a double that partitions the interior and exterior by a plurality of (usually two) glass panels arranged in parallel with a predetermined gap between the interior and exterior. There is a skin curtain wall. In this double skin curtain wall, a hollow layer is formed between the glass panel arranged on the outdoor side and the glass panel arranged on the indoor side. With such a hollow layer, it functions as a heat insulating layer in cold seasons such as winter, and the indoor heating efficiency can be improved. On the other hand, in hot seasons such as summer, by ventilating the air in the hollow layer, it is possible to mitigate the temperature rise of glass panels heated by direct sunlight and blinds placed in the hollow layer. Since it becomes possible to suppress that the heat | fever flows into a room | chamber interior, the air_conditioning | cooling efficiency of a room inner side can be improved.

  The structure of the curtain wall unit that can improve the cooling and heating efficiency as described above from the viewpoint of realizing energy saving in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in response to the need to suppress global warming in recent years. Is more important than ever.

  By the way, in the double skin curtain wall unit, since the glass panels are juxtaposed in the indoor and outdoor directions, it is absolutely necessary to divide the space on the indoor side. Therefore, it is desirable to make the installation space as thin as possible. However, when the thickness is reduced in this way, the hollow layer becomes narrower, and the above-described ventilation efficiency tends to be deteriorated due to a decrease in the amount of ventilation and an increase in ventilation resistance.

  Patent Document 1 is disclosed as means for ventilating the hollow layer. In the curtain wall described in Patent Document 1, a lower horizontal frame forming the frame body and a ventilation port communicating with the hollow layer are provided in the upper horizontal frame, and air can be circulated between the upper and lower ventilation ports.

  Moreover, in the curtain wall unit (double-window unit) described in Patent Document 2, a plurality of holes communicating with the hollow layer are provided along the vertical frame of the frame body, and thereby the inside of the hollow layer can be ventilated. Has been.

Japanese Patent No. 4325806 JP 2006-2395 A

  However, in the curtain wall described in Patent Document 1, a ventilation port disposed in the upper horizontal frame of a certain curtain wall unit, and a ventilation port disposed in the lower horizontal frame of the curtain wall adjacent thereto are provided. Are adjacent to each other in parallel. Therefore, a so-called short circuit in which the air flowing out from the lower curtain wall unit flows into the upper curtain wall unit again easily occurs, and the ventilation efficiency is reduced. In addition, since the upper and lower horizontal frames having ventilation openings overlap, the horizontal frame portion becomes thick when formed as a curtain wall, which is not preferable in appearance.

  On the other hand, in the curtain wall described in Patent Document 2, since all of the plurality of ventilation openings are formed in the vertical frame, it is possible to prevent the horizontal frame from becoming thick and to reduce the short circuit. Is possible. However, there was still a short circuit problem because the air flow was on the same line in the vertical direction. In addition, when air flows from between the vertical frames, it is necessary to supply air to both curtain wall units disposed on both sides from between the vertical frames. The space between the vertical frames needs to be large, and the vertical frame portion may appear thick when formed as a curtain wall.

  In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a curtain wall unit that can prevent a short circuit and has an excellent appearance, and a curtain wall including the unit.

  The position of the slit 31a is not particularly limited. However, as will be described later, air is caused to flow out of the slit 31a by buoyancy due to a decrease in the density of air, so that the slit 31a is disposed as high as possible, i. It is preferable. The position where the slit 31a is disposed is preferably the same height position as the slit 21a described above. Thereby, the exhaust heat of the hollow layer A is performed with good balance. However, this does not prevent changing the height positions of the slits 21a and the slits 31a, and the height positions can be different as necessary. About the opening area of the slit 31a, since it is the same as that of the slit 21a mentioned above, description is abbreviate | omitted here.

  In the present embodiment, the slits 21a and the slits 31a are provided in the vertical frames 20 and 30, respectively, but only one of the slits may be provided. In the present embodiment, the slits 21a and 31a are provided as a preferable form because it is preferable that the area of the circulation port is large and the balance of the exhaust heat distribution in the hollow layer A is good. Therefore, if the opening area of the slit is sufficient or the balance of the exhaust heat distribution of the hollow layer is within an allowable range, only one of them may be used.

  The outdoor side glass panel 70 is a 1st glass panel arrange | positioned among the 1st division parts 11 of the said frame 15 at the outdoor side so that FIGS. 1-3 may show. Accordingly, the four sides are attached to the glass panel attachment portions 22, 32, 52, 62 of the vertical frame 20, the vertical frame 30, the lower horizontal frame 50, and the intermediate horizontal frame 60 together with the packing material while ensuring watertightness and airtightness. ing.

  As can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3, the indoor side glass panel 75 is a second glass panel disposed on the indoor side in the first partition portion 11 of the frame 15, and is a multilayer glass panel. . Therefore, the outdoor side glass panel 70 and the indoor side glass panel 75 are arranged in parallel with a predetermined interval inside and outside the room. Four sides of the indoor side glass panel 75 are watertight and airtight together with the packing material in the glass panel mounting portions 23, 33, 53, and 63 of the vertical frame 20, vertical frame 30, lower horizontal frame 50, and intermediate horizontal frame 60. Attached.

  As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, the spandrel glass panel 80 is a glass panel disposed on the outdoor side of the second partition part 12 of the frame 15. Accordingly, the four sides are attached to the glass panel attachment portions 22, 32, 42, and 64 of the vertical frame 20, the vertical frame 30, the upper horizontal frame 40, and the intermediate horizontal frame 60 together with the packing material in a watertight and airtight manner. ing.

  As can be seen from FIG. 2, the board 85 is a plate-like member that is disposed on the indoor side of the second partition portion 12 of the frame 15 and conceals the inside from the outside view. Therefore, the spandrel portion glass panel 80 and the board 85 are arranged in parallel with a predetermined interval inside and outside the room. The four sides of the board 85 are attached to the vertical frame 20, the vertical frame 30, the upper horizontal frame 40, and the intermediate horizontal frame 60 together with a packing material in a watertight and airtight manner.

  In the curtain wall unit 10 combined as described above, as can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, in the first partition portion 11, the four sides are the vertical frame 20, the vertical frame 30, the intermediate horizontal frame 60, and the lower horizontal frame. A hollow layer A is formed which is surrounded by 50 and whose indoor and outdoor surfaces are closed by the outdoor glass panel 70 and the indoor glass panel 75. The hollow layer A can communicate with the outside through the slits 21 a of the vertical frame 20, the slits 31 a of the vertical frame 30, and the slits 51 a of the lower horizontal frame 50.

  In this embodiment, when the intermediate horizontal frame 60 reaches a position where it is exposed to the outdoor side, the first partition 11 and the second partition 12 have different glass panels (outdoor glass panel 70 and spandrel glass panel 80). And arranged. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if watertight airtightness is taken in the first partition and the second partition, the intermediate horizontal frame is not exposed to the outdoor side, and the first partition and the second partition May have a common outdoor glass panel.

When the curtain wall unit 10 is combined with another curtain wall unit 10, the following occurs.
A certain curtain wall unit 10 and the curtain wall unit 10 combined adjacently below this part often appear in the portion indicated by B in FIG. In other words, the convex portion 56 provided on the lower horizontal frame 50 of the curtain wall unit 10 disposed on the upper side becomes the engaged portion 44 provided on the upper horizontal frame 40 of the curtain wall unit 10 disposed on the lower side. Engage. At this time, as shown by C in FIG. 2, a flow passage C is formed between the upper horizontal frame 40 and the lower horizontal frame 50 and between the slits 51a and the outside by the pieces 54 and 55 of the lower horizontal frame 50. Is done.

On the other hand, combinations of curtain wall units 10 and 10 adjacent to the left and right are as follows, as shown in FIG. That is, the piece 34 of the vertical frame 30 of the curtain wall unit 10 adjacent to the piece 24 of the vertical frame 20 is closely attached via the packing. Similarly, the piece 35 of the vertical frame 30 of the curtain wall unit 10 adjacent to the piece 25 of the vertical frame 20 is closely attached via the packing. Moreover, the glass panel attachment part 23 and the glass panel attachment part 33 of the vertical frame 30 of the curtain wall unit 10 adjacent to this are closely_contact | adhered via packing.
At this time, as shown by D and D in FIG. 3, the flow paths D and D that pass through the slits 21 a and 31 a and the outdoor are formed between the vertical frame 20 and the vertical frame 30.

According to the curtain wall formed in the building by the curtain wall units 10, 10,... As described above, the air inflow passage and the outflow passage are arranged separately in a horizontal frame and a vertical frame. Can be prevented from becoming thicker. Therefore, it is possible to configure a curtain wall having an excellent appearance.
For example, when using a single-skin curtain wall and a double-skin curtain wall separately depending on the direction of the outer wall facing in one building, when unifying the appearance, unify it in a preferable manner that the frame is not too thick. be able to.
Further, by suppressing the thickening of the frame, the contamination is less and less noticeable. In particular, since there is no need for an exposed large water return member (so-called glazing) for air supply / exhaust as in the prior art, it is possible to prevent defects in appearance due to the dirt. In addition to this, the configuration of the members and the distribution ports has been simplified, and it has become possible to provide a curtain wall at low cost.

According to the curtain wall including the curtain wall units 10, 10,..., The air in the hollow layer A is ventilated as follows. This will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, the outdoor glass panel 70, the indoor glass panel 75, the blind 13 and the like are heated by solar radiation or the like, and the air in the hollow layer A is heated, so that the air in the hollow layer A is warmed and the density thereof is increased. Get smaller.
The air having such a low density rises and the air in the hollow layer A flows out so as to sequentially push out the air from the slits 21a and 31a of the vertical frames 20 and 30. At this time, as shown by D in FIGS. 2 and 3, the air flows through the passages formed between the vertical frames 20 and 30 from the slits 21 a and 31 a.

  On the other hand, with the outflow of air from the hollow layer A, air flows so as to be sucked into the hollow layer A from the slits 51 a of the lower horizontal frame 50. This air flows through a passage formed between the upper horizontal frame 40 and the lower horizontal frame 50 and between the pieces 54 and 55 as indicated by C in FIGS. The inflowing air is outside air, and is at a temperature lower than at least the air warmed by the hollow layer A, thereby cooling the outdoor side glass panel 70, the indoor side glass panel 75, the blind 13, and the like.

  By repeatedly performing heating and air movement as described above, the hollow layer A is stabilized at a lower temperature than when there is no air movement, and a decrease in cooling efficiency on the indoor side is suppressed. It becomes possible.

Further, in the curtain wall by the curtain wall units 10, 10,..., Air flows in from the lower horizontal frame 50, and air flows out from the vertical frames 20, 30, so that the air flowing out from the hollow layer A is again in the hollow layer A. Can greatly reduce the chance of entering the market. Thereby, a short circuit can be prevented and the air in the hollow layer A can be stabilized at a lower temperature.
Further, the horizontal frame distribution port can be made large over the entire length of the horizontal frame, and the vertical frame distribution port corresponding to this can be provided in the vertical frame. Can take big.

In the present embodiment, in the hollow layer A, a slit for inflow of air is provided in the lower horizontal frame, and a slit for outflow of air is disposed in a portion of the vertical frame disposed above this. However, this positional relationship may be reversed from the viewpoint of preventing a short circuit. That is, the outflow channel may be arranged by providing a slit for air inflow in the lower part of the vertical frame in the hollow layer A and providing a slit for outflow of air in the intermediate horizontal frame.
In the present embodiment, as described below, the curtain wall unit 10 described above has been described as a preferred form from the viewpoint of discharging water that has entered the hollow layer A.

In the curtain wall units 10, 10,..., Even when rainwater enters the hollow layer A from the slits 21 a and 31 a of the vertical frames 20 and 30, the rainwater falls off from the slits 51 a of the lower horizontal frame 50. The water can not be accumulated in the hollow layer A. As a result, generation of mold and dirt in the hollow layer A can be prevented.
The water that has fallen from the slit 51a moves the piece 41 of the upper horizontal frame 40 in the longitudinal direction of the piece 41, and reaches between the curtain wall units adjacent in the horizontal direction (between the vertical frames). A water receptacle (catch pan) (not shown) is provided between the vertical frames, and is discharged from here.

  FIG. 4 is a view for explaining a curtain wall formed by curtain wall units 10 ′ and 10 ′ according to a modification. FIG. 4 corresponds to FIG. The curtain wall units 10 ′ and 10 ′ differ from the curtain wall units 10 and 10 only in that water intrusion prevention means 90 is provided, and the other parts are the same as the curtain wall units 10 and 10. Therefore, the same reference numerals are given and the description is omitted.

  The water intrusion prevention unit 90 includes a first member 91 and a second member 92. The first member 91 is a member having a substantially L-shaped cross section as can be seen from FIG. An attachment piece 91b is provided at the end of the first member 91 on the side of the piece 91a, which is one L-shaped piece, so as to be orthogonal to the piece 91a. Further, a plurality of protrusions 91d, 91d,... Are erected on the surface of the other L-shaped piece 91c side. Further, the end portion 91e of the piece 91c is bent in the same direction as the piece 91a side.

  On the other hand, the second member 92 includes three pieces 92a, 92b, and 92c formed in a polygonal line shape in its cross section.

As can be seen from FIG. 4, the first member 91 and the second member 92 have the vertical frame 20, the vertical frame 30, and the pieces 24, 34 when the curtain wall is formed by the curtain wall units 10 ′, 10 ′,. , And a space surrounded by the glass panel mounting portions 22 and 32. More details are as follows.
The first member 91 is attached to the vertical frame 30. At this time, the piece 91a extends in the prospective direction, and the piece 91c extends in the direction of the vertical frame 20 of the adjacent curtain wall unit 10 ′. . And the protrusions 91d, 91d,... Of the piece 91c are directed to the side where the glass panel mounting portions 22, 32 are disposed. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the piece 91 c is formed so as to cross the prospective direction indoor side of the gap between the glass panel attachment portions 22 and 32.

  The second member 92 is attached to the vertical frame 20, and at this time, the piece 92 a is fixed to the indoor side surface of the glass panel attachment portion 22. The piece 92b extends so as to incline indoors in the direction of the vertical frame 30 of the adjacent curtain wall unit 10 '. The piece 92c extends in the direction of the vertical frame 30 of the adjacent curtain wall unit 10 'from the tip of the piece 92b. The second member 92 is formed by the pieces 92b and 92c so as to cross the interior side in the prospective direction of the gap between the glass panel mounting portions 22 and 32.

  According to the water intrusion prevention means 90 described above, even if rainwater enters between the glass panel mounting portions 22 and 32 from the direction indicated by E in FIG. 4, further intrusion of rainwater is suppressed by the second member 92. The Furthermore, the first member 91 also suppresses further intrusion of rainwater and prevents intrusion of rainwater from the slits 21a and 31a into the hollow layers A and A.

  Here, since the protrusion 91d, 91d,... Is provided on the piece 91c of the second member 91 and the end 91e is also provided, the movement of rainwater is obstructed here, effectively preventing its entry. Yes. On the other hand, as is clear from FIG. 4, since the air flow passage is secured, the outflow of air from the hollow layers A and A is not hindered.

  The water intrusion prevention means 90 only needs to be installed near the position where the slits 21a and 31a are provided. Therefore, it is not necessary to extend over the entire length of the vertical frames 20 and 30, and the length of the slits 21a and 31a in the direction along the longitudinal direction of the vertical frames 20 and 30 is preferably as long as about 100 mm. Thereby, compared with the case where it extends over the full length of a longitudinal direction, cost can be suppressed and ventilation resistance can also be suppressed low.

  FIGS. 5-7 is a figure for demonstrating each of the water intrusion prevention means 190,290,390 of another form. 5 to 7 correspond to FIG.

The water intrusion prevention means 190 shown in FIG. 5 includes a first member 191 and a second member 192. Since the first member 191 and the second member 192 have symmetrical shapes, only the first member 191 will be described here.
As can be seen from FIG. 5, the first member 191 is a member having a substantially L-shaped cross section that is a short piece 191 a in the finding direction and a long piece 191 b in the prospective direction. The piece 191 a also serves as a piece for pressing the outdoor side surface of the side end portion of the outdoor side glass panel 70.
On the other hand, the piece 191b extends indoors from the end of the piece 191a to the space surrounded by the vertical frame 20, the vertical frame 30, the pieces 24 and 34, and the glass panel mounting portions 22 and 32. Here, the indoor side end of the piece 191b is bent in the direction of finding toward the side opposite to the piece 21 side. Further, a plurality of protrusions 191c, 191c,... Arranged in parallel in the prospective direction are provided from the surface of the piece 191b opposite to the side facing the piece 21.

  According to the water intrusion prevention means 190 described above, even if rainwater enters between the glass panel mounting portions 22 and 32 from the direction indicated by F in FIG. 5, it is narrow between the first member 191 and the second member 192. Since the space is formed long, the flow resistance is high, so that further intrusion of rainwater is suppressed. In addition, the protrusions 191c, 191c,..., 192c, 192c,. On the other hand, as is apparent from FIG. 5, since the air flow passage is secured, the outflow of air from the hollow layers A and A is not hindered.

  The water intrusion prevention unit 190 may be installed in the vicinity of the position where the slits 21a and 31a are provided. Therefore, it is not necessary to extend over the entire length of the vertical frames 20 and 30, and the length of the slits 21a and 31a in the direction along the longitudinal direction of the vertical frames 20 and 30 is preferably as long as about 100 mm. Thereby, compared with the case where it extends over the full length of a longitudinal direction, cost can be suppressed and ventilation resistance can also be suppressed low.

The water intrusion prevention means 290 shown in FIG. 6 includes a first member 291 and a second member 292. Since the first member 291 and the second member 292 have symmetrical shapes, only the first member 291 will be described here.
As can be seen from FIG. 6, the first member 291 is a piece that is provided at the corner on the indoor side of the glass panel mounting portion 22 and extends to the indoor side. Here, the indoor side end of the first member 291 is bent in the direction of finding toward the side opposite to the piece 21 side.

  According to the water intrusion prevention means 290 described above, even if rainwater enters between the glass panel mounting portions 22 and 32 from the direction indicated by G in FIG. 6, the space between the first member 291 and the second member 292 is narrow. Since the space is formed long, the flow resistance is high, so that further intrusion of rainwater is suppressed. On the other hand, as is clear from FIG. 6, since the air flow passage is secured, the outflow of air from the hollow layers A and A is not hindered.

  The water intrusion prevention unit 290 may be installed in the vicinity of the position where the slits 21a and 31a are provided. Therefore, it is not necessary to extend over the entire length of the vertical frames 20 and 30, and the length of the slits 21a and 31a in the direction along the longitudinal direction of the vertical frames 20 and 30 is preferably as long as about 100 mm. Thereby, compared with the case where it extends over the full length of a longitudinal direction, cost can be suppressed and ventilation resistance can also be suppressed low.

  The water intrusion prevention means 390 shown in FIG. 7 includes a piece 391 and a piece 392. As can be seen from FIG. 7, the piece 391 is a piece that is provided at the outdoor corner of the glass panel mounting portion 32 and extends to the outdoor side. The piece 392 is a piece extending in the direction of finding from the outdoor front end portion of the piece 391. Here, the piece 392 is provided so as to cross the prospective direction outdoor side between the glass panel attachment portions 22 and 32. Therefore, according to the water intrusion prevention means 390, rainwater from the direction indicated by H in FIG. 7 hits the piece 392 and cannot enter between the glass panel mounting portions 22 and 32. On the other hand, as is clear from FIG. 7, since the air flow passage is secured, the outflow of air from the hollow layers A and A is not hindered.

The water intrusion prevention means 390 may be installed near the position where the slits 21a and 31a are provided. Therefore, it is not necessary to extend over the entire length of the vertical frames 20 and 30, and the length of the slits 21a and 31a in the direction along the longitudinal direction of the vertical frames 20 and 30 is preferably as long as about 100 mm. Thereby, compared with the case where it extends over the full length of a longitudinal direction, cost can be suppressed and ventilation resistance can also be suppressed low.
However, since the water intrusion prevention means 390 appears exposed outside, the water intrusion prevention means 390 may extend long along the longitudinal direction of the vertical frames 20 and 30 from the viewpoint of appearance. This also functions as the water intrusion prevention means 390.
