Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mounting and manufacturing
of a twisted aluminum sheet for architectural decoration, in particular to a processing
and mounting method for a twisted aluminum sheet having a gradient color.
Background of the Invention
[0002] The present invention is based on an engineering project of temporary venues of the
10
th China Flower EXPO, the temporary venues of this project are divided into three "blade-shaped"
single-body steel structure buildings, and twisted aluminum sheets having gradient
colors are hung outside a curtain wall of the Huaqi Hall, which have high artistry
and high ornamental value. In construction projects, aluminum sheets are widely used
as a decorative material, and more aluminum sheets are processed and manufactured
into decorative materials with high ornamental value.
[0003] In a traditional arc bending process of hollow ribbed aluminum sheets, a twisting
radian and twisting deformation are the two most difficult variables to control, an
excessively large twisting radian is prone to buckling deformation of the aluminum
sheets, and an excessively small radian is prone to elastic deformation. When a traditional
arc bending apparatus performs arc bending on the hollow ribbed aluminum sheets, the
sheets are twisted by mechanical clamping at two ends, which will cause stress concentration
near clamping ends at the moment, this position is uneven in deformation and not smooth,
and when the two ends are clamped and twisted, they will extend along a longitudinal
axis of the aluminum sheets, resulting in depression or diameter shrinkage in middle
sections of the sheets. Limitation on the aluminum sheets lacks, the aluminum sheets
are prone to tilting, after the bending is completed, the twisted aluminum sheets
are difficult to take out, and at the same time, traditional one-time twisting forming
has excessively large angle mutation, easily resulting in obvious rebound of the sheets
and the irregular deformation amount, so that a traditional manufacturing process
cannot be applied.
Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention provides a processing and mounting method for a twisted aluminum
sheet having a gradient color, which is implemented by adjusting a clamping apparatus,
changing an internal structure of an aluminum sheet, etc.
[0005] In order to implement the above technical effects, the present invention is implemented
through the technical solution as follows.
[0006] A processing and mounting method for a twisted aluminum sheet having a gradient color
includes the following steps:
twisting of aluminum sheet units: respectively twisting a plurality of hollow aluminum
sheet units, specifically, clamping one end of each aluminum sheet unit by means of
a telescopic sheet rolling machine, and twisting the other end by means of a twisting
machine to twist the aluminum sheet unit towards the sheet rolling machine along the
direction of the twisting machine until the aluminum sheet unit is twisted to a designed
angle; and
filling the hollow aluminum sheet units with flexible fillers;
painting of the aluminum sheet units: respectively painting the aluminum sheet units
according to a design requirement of a gradient color;
building of framework structures: providing the grille-shaped framework structures
along the outside of a building according to design requirements, the framework structures
being fastened on the building; and
assembly of aluminum sheet structures: providing at least one aluminum sheet structure
on each grille-shaped framework structure from top to bottom, the aluminum sheet structures
being formed by splicing at least two painted aluminum sheet units.
[0007] In the technical solution, first of all, the hollow aluminum sheet units are selected
as a raw material, and meanwhile, the hollow aluminum sheet units are filled with
the flexible fillers, so that stress on hollow aluminum sheets in a sheet twisting
process is more uniform, and "the hollow sheets are filled with the flexible fillers,
so that the stress in the sheet twisting process is more uniform", because a flexible
material is at a ribbed sheet where the stress is easy to concentrate, concentrated
stress can be dispersed and transferred very well.
[0008] In the technical solution, secondly, based on the framework structures, aluminum
sheet curtain wall hanging pieces are connected with a square steel rigid framework
through fasteners, and the square steel rigid framework is connected with the steel
structure building through connecting parts, so as to form an aluminum sheet curtain
wall of a stable structure.
[0009] In the technical solution, thirdly, each aluminum sheet is formed by splicing the
plurality of aluminum sheet units along grilles of the framework, to make variability
of the aluminum sheet structure greater, and compared with an integrally-formed aluminum
sheet structure, the aluminum sheet structure has stronger plasticity, and then a
structure with a variety of colors and shapes may be formed.
[0010] In the technical solution, for formation of the aluminum sheet structure, the plurality
of aluminum sheet units and the connecting parts may be marked and colored successively
according to design, and each aluminum sheet unit and each connecting part may be
painted respectively according to marks and colors.
[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, in the twisting step of the aluminum
sheet units, the sheet rolling machine freely extends and retracts in a sheet length
direction, so as to disperse stress in twisting.
[0012] In the technical scheme, an end of the sheet rolling machine may freely extend and
retract in a sheet direction, so as to avoid longitudinal stress concentration. Further,
the sheet rolling machine freely extends and retracts in a length direction. The sheet
is clamped between roller shafts of the sheet rolling machine, which is equivalent
to limiting an XY direction in three-dimensional coordinates, but because the sheet
is not clamped at ends, a Z direction is a free end and may freely extend and retract,
and the Z direction (that is, the sheet length direction) will not obstruct free extending
or shortening of the sheet in the twisting process, so that the problem of stress
concentration will not appear.
[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, in the twisting step of the aluminum
sheet units, when the designed angle is greater than 5°, the twisting machine performs
twisting at least two times, and an angle of each time of twisting ranges from 1 °
to 5°.
[0014] In the technical solution, a multi-time small-angle twisting process is adopted for
sheet twisting, after rebound occurs in the process, multiple times of small-amount
twisting continues to be performed, and an angle of single-time twisting does not
exceed 5°, so that the angle is gradually close to a design value, and uncontrollable
yield deformation is effectively overcome.
[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, the flexible fillers are specifically
of a tubular structure, a sheet structure or a hollow structure formed by a flexible
material.
[0016] In the technical solution, a plate, a pipeline or a hollow structure, etc. formed
by a PVC material may be selected specifically, and is supported in each hollow aluminum
sheet unit to form a supporting body, and at the same time, a concentrated stress
condition may be uniformized. Further, a PVC pipe, which is easy to obtain at a construction
site, is generally selected, and it belongs to flexible materials, may uniformize
concentrated stress of the aluminum sheet, and is low in cost.
[0017] As a further improvement of the present invention, in the twisting step of the aluminum
sheet units, when a length of the aluminum sheet units is smaller than 2 m, the method
further includes pretreatment of the aluminum sheet units, and the pretreatment is
increase of the length of the aluminum sheet units, so that the aluminum sheet units
are twisted after the length is greater than 6 m.
[0018] In the technical solution, according to a design length of the twisted aluminum sheet,
in an early stage of manufacturing of the project, an aluminum sheet with a design
length (50 mm to 4000 mm) is adopted to be twisted, but because the shorter the sheet,
the worse the uniformity of twisting deformation, especially when the length is less
than 2 meters, an effective twisting length of the aluminum sheet is insufficient.
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention solves the problem of
the effective length of the twisted aluminum sheet by increasing the length of the
sheet to 6 m and then twisting, and then cutting two ends of a deformed aluminum sheet
to the design length.
[0019] In the prior art, the 2 m sheet may be directly twisted, but a final effective length
cannot reach 2 m, and because ends are prone to being damaged in the twisting process,
herein, in order to ensure the effective length of the aluminum sheet, the 2 m sheet
is lengthened and then twisted.
[0020] As a further improvement of the present invention, the painting of the aluminum sheet
units is specifically as follows: the plurality of aluminum sheet units are divided
into a plurality of aluminum sheet structures according to the design requirement
of the gradient color, and the plurality of aluminum sheet units in each aluminum
sheet structure are spliced successively to form the aluminum sheet structure having
the gradient color.
[0021] In the technical solution, according to the height of the curtain wall, a single
complete curtain wall is formed by splicing 1 to 3 aluminum sheets, and twisting angles
of the spliced aluminum sheets are superimposed to achieve a gradient effect. A curtain
wall at a northern end and a transition section of the building is a single-splicing
curtain wall twisted by 90°, a curtain wall at a southern end is a double-splicing
curtain formed by splicing two aluminum sheets twisted by 0° to 90°, and a main curtain
wall in the middle is a three-splicing curtain wall formed by splicing two aluminum
sheets twisted by 90° and a surface sheet.
[0022] Further, in the painting step of the aluminum sheet units, painting treatment is
specifically as follows: operations of primer spraying, color paint spraying, varnish
spraying and baking on two sides are carried out in sequence respectively on each
aluminum sheet unit; and operations of primer, intermediate paint, finish paint and
finish-coat paint are carried out in sequence for each connecting part, and a total
thickness of a dry paint film of a coating is greater than or equal to 150 µm.
[0023] In the technical solution, since a gradient-color finished product needs to be achieved
in the later stage, it is necessary to carefully paint each aluminum sheet unit at
this time, and carry out further analysis according to a situation to ensure that
the later stage has a good effect.
[0024] As a further improvement of the present invention, in the building step of the framework
structures, a distance between frameworks ranges from 4 m to 4.5 m, and each framework
structure is formed by a plurality of square steels, which are connected by butt welds
in a transverse direction and/or a longitudinal direction.
[0025] In the technical solution, a large gap range is that a width is about 4 m to 4.5
m and a height is about 2.5 m to 5 m, a general steel structure connecting mode has
welding and bolt connecting, welding is divided into butt welding, angle welding,
lap welding, etc., the requirement for a butt welding process is higher, and adoption
of this welding mode is also the design requirements.
[0026] As a further improvement of the present invention, the plurality of aluminum sheet
structures are arranged between the frameworks and are matched with the framework
structures to form a streamer-shaped louver structure, and a gradient curve formed
by the aluminum sheet units is continuously connected along a streamer-shaped curve.
[0027] In the technical solution, the streamer-shaped louver structure is distinct in layer,
and has both structures and gaps, so as to achieve a relatively good appearance, and
then the twisted aluminum sheet having the gradient color has high artistry and high
ornamental value.
[0028] As a further improvement of the present invention, the gradient curve formed by the
aluminum sheet units is specifically as follows: each aluminum sheet structure is
formed by splicing at least two twisted aluminum sheet units according to the design
requirements, so as to form the gradient curve.
[0029] In the technical solution, a plurality of times of assembly and splicing, etc., are
used to avoid the problem that an aluminum sheet unit is directly twisted many times
to form a curve, or is spray-coated many times to form gradient colors and then form
a gradient curve, construction is easier, and the structure is more proper.
[0030] Further, in the building step of the framework structures, the framework structures
and the fasteners are fastened on the building, and an anti-slip coefficient of connecting
surfaces of the fasteners near the building is 0.45.
[0031] In the technical solution, 1. Abrasive blasting is to improve fatigue resistance
of a workpiece, and increase adhesion between the workpiece and the coating. 2. The
higher the anti-slip coefficient, the higher the structural safety, the higher the
design requirements, and the 0.45 anti-slip coefficient is adopted and is more suitable
for the gradient colors and strength requirements of connecting positions.
[0032] Further, in the mounting step of the aluminum sheet structure, in the aluminum sheet
structure on each framework structure, the adjacent aluminum sheet units are connected
through connecting plates, the aluminum sheet units are respectively inserted into
the connecting plates, no less than 4 anchor bolts are arranged on the connecting
position of each aluminum sheet unit and the connecting plate, and a pulling resistant
value of each anchor bolt is no less than 15 KN.

Embodiment 1
[0039] The present embodiment is introduced in combination with main steps.
[0040] Referring to Figs. 1-4, a processing and mounting method for a twisted aluminum sheet
having a gradient color in the present embodiment includes the following steps:
twisting of aluminum sheet units 110: a plurality of hollow aluminum sheet units 110
are twisted respectively, specifically, one end of each aluminum sheet unit 110 is
clamped by means of a telescopic sheet rolling machine, and the other end is twisted
by means of a twisting machine to twist the aluminum sheet unit 110 towards the sheet
rolling machine along the direction of the twisting machine until the aluminum sheet
unit is twisted to a designed angle; and
the hollow aluminum sheet units 110 are filled with flexible fillers;
painting of the aluminum sheet units 110: the aluminum sheet units 110 are painted
respectively according to a design requirement of a gradient color;
building of framework structures 200: the grille-shaped framework structure 200 is
provided along the outside of a building according to design requirements, the framework
structures 200 being fastened on the building; and
assembly of aluminum sheet structures 100: at least one aluminum sheet structure 100
is provided on each grille-shaped framework structure 200 from top to bottom, the
aluminum sheet structures 100 being formed by splicing at least two painted aluminum
sheet units 110.
[0041] In the present embodiment, first of all, the hollow aluminum sheet units are selected
as a raw material, and meanwhile, the hollow aluminum sheet units are filled with
the flexible fillers, so that stress on hollow aluminum sheets in a sheet twisting
process is more uniform, and "the hollow sheets are filled with the flexible fillers,
so that the stress in the sheet twisting process is more uniform", because a flexible
material is at a ribbed sheet where the stress is easy to concentrate, concentrated
stress can be dispersed and transferred very well.
[0042] In the present embodiment, secondly, based on the framework structures, aluminum
sheet curtain wall hanging pieces are connected with a square steel rigid framework
through fasteners, and the square steel rigid framework is connected with the steel
structure building through connecting parts, so as to form an aluminum sheet curtain
wall of a stable structure.
[0043] In the present embodiment, thirdly, each aluminum sheet is formed by splicing the
plurality of aluminum sheet units along grilles of the framework, to make variability
of the aluminum sheet structure greater, and compared with an integrally-formed aluminum
sheet structure, the aluminum sheet structure has stronger plasticity, and then a
structure with a variety of colors and shapes may be formed.
[0044] In the present embodiment, for formation of the aluminum sheet structure, the plurality
of aluminum sheet units and connecting parts may be marked and colored successively
according to design, and each aluminum sheet unit and each connecting part may be
painted respectively according to marks and colors.
Embodiment 2
[0045] The present embodiment is introduced in combination with twisting of the aluminum
sheet units.
[0046] In order to ensure a twisting effect, in the twisting step of the aluminum sheet
units 110, the sheet rolling machine freely extends and retracts in a sheet length
direction, so as to disperse stress in twisting.
[0047] In the present embodiment, an end of the sheet rolling machine may freely extend
and retract in a sheet direction, so as to avoid longitudinal stress concentration.
Further, the rolling sheet machine freely extends and retracts in a length direction.
The sheet is clamped between roller shafts of the sheet rolling machine, which is
equivalent to limiting an XY direction in three-dimensional coordinates, but because
the sheet is not clamped at ends, a Z direction is a free end and may freely extend
and retract, and the Z direction (that is, the sheet length direction) will not obstruct
free extending or shortening of the sheet in the twisting process, so that the problem
of stress concentration will not appear.
[0048] In order to ensure good twisting, in the twisting step of the aluminum sheet units
110, when the designed angle is greater than 5°, the twisting machine performs twisting
at least two times, and an angle of each time of twisting ranges from 1° to 5°.
[0049] In the present embodiment, a multi-time small-angle twisting process is adopted for
sheet twisting, after rebound occurs in the process, multiple times of small-amount
twisting continues to be performed, and an angle of single-time twisting does not
exceed 5°, so that the angle is gradually close to a design value, and uncontrollable
yield deformation is effectively overcome.
[0050] In order to achieve low-cost construction, the flexible fillers are specifically
of a tubular structure, a sheet structure or a hollow structure formed by the flexible
material.
[0051] In the present embodiment, a plate, a pipeline or a hollow structure, etc. formed
by a PVC material may be selected specifically, and is supported in each hollow aluminum
sheet unit to form a supporting body, and at the same time, a concentrated stress
condition may be uniformized. Further, a PVC pipe, which is easy to obtain at a construction
site, is generally selected, and it belongs to flexible materials, may uniformize
the concentrated stress of the aluminum sheet, and is low in cost.
[0052] When a length is too small, that is, when the length of the aluminum sheet units
is smaller than 2 m, the method further includes pretreatment of the aluminum sheet
units, and the pretreatment is increase of the length of the aluminum sheet units,
so that the aluminum sheet units are twisted after the length is greater than 6 m.
[0053] In the present embodiment, according to a design length of the twisted aluminum sheet,
in an early stage of manufacturing of the project, an aluminum sheet with a design
length (50 mm to 4000 mm) is adopted to be twisted, but because the shorter the sheet,
the worse the uniformity of twisting deformation, especially when the length is less
than 2 meters, an effective twisting length of the aluminum sheet is insufficient.
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention solves the problem of
the effective length of the twisted aluminum sheet by increasing the length of the
sheet to 6 m and then twisting, and then cutting two ends of a deformed aluminum sheet
to the design length.
[0054] In the prior art, the 2 m sheet may be directly twisted, but a final effective length
cannot reach 2 m, and because the ends are prone to being damaged in the twisting
process, herein, in order to ensure the effective length of the aluminum sheet, the
2 m sheet is lengthened and then twisted.
Embodiment 3
[0055] In the present embodiment, other core steps are mainly introduced.
[0056] Specifically, the painting of the aluminum sheet units is specifically as follows:
the plurality of aluminum sheet units are divided into a plurality of aluminum sheet
structures according to a design requirement of a gradient color, and the plurality
of aluminum sheet units in each aluminum sheet structure are spliced successively
to form the aluminum sheet structure having the gradient color.
[0057] In the present embodiment, according to the height of the curtain wall, a single
complete curtain wall is formed by splicing 1 to 3 aluminum sheets, twisting angles
of the spliced aluminum sheets are superimposed to achieve a gradient effect, a curtain
wall at a northern end and a transition section of the building is a single-splicing
curtain wall twisted by 90°, a curtain wall at a southern end is double-splicing curtain
wall formed by splicing two aluminum sheets twisted by 0° to 90°, and a main curtain
wall in the middle is a three-splicing curtain wall formed by splicing two aluminum
sheets twisted by 90° and a surface sheet.
[0058] Further, in the painting step of the aluminum sheet units 110, painting treatment
is specifically as follows: operations of primer spraying, color paint spraying, varnish
spraying and baking on two sides are carried out in sequence respectively on each
aluminum sheet unit; and operations of primer, intermediate paint, finish paint and
finish-coat paint are carried out in sequence for each connecting part, and a total
thickness of a dry paint film of a coating is greater than or equal to 150 µm.
[0059] In the present embodiment, since a gradient-color finished product needs to be achieved
in the later stage, it is necessary to carefully paint each aluminum sheet unit at
this time, and carry out further analysis according to a situation, so as to ensure
that the later stage has a good effect.
[0060] In order to ensure good structural arrangement, in the building step of the framework
structures, a distance between frameworks ranges from 4 m to 4.5 m, and each framework
structure is formed by a plurality of square steels, which are connected by butt welds
in a transverse direction and/or a longitudinal direction.
[0061] In the present embodiment, a large gap range of the frameworks is that a width is
about 4 m to 4.5 m and a height is about 2.5 m to 5 m, a general steel structure connecting
mode has welding and bolt connecting, welding is divided into butt welding, angle
welding, lap welding, etc., the requirement for a butt welding process is higher,
and adoption of this welding mode is also the design requirements.
[0062] Specifically, the plurality of aluminum sheet structures are arranged between gaps
of the frameworks and are matched with the framework structures to form a streamer-shaped
louver structure, and a gradient curve formed by the aluminum sheet units is continuously
connected along a streamer-shaped curve.
[0063] In the present embodiment, the streamer-shaped louver structure is distinct in layer,
and has both structure and gaps, so as to achieve a relatively good appearance, and
then the twisted aluminum sheet having the gradient color has high artistry and high
ornamental value.
[0064] More further, the gradient curve formed by the aluminum sheet units is specifically
as follows: each aluminum sheet structure is formed by splicing at least two twisted
aluminum sheet units according to the design requirements, so as to form the gradient
curve.
[0065] In the present embodiment, a plurality of times of assembly and splicing, etc., are
used to avoid the problem that an aluminum sheet unit is directly twisted many times
to form a curve, or is spray-coated many times to form gradient colors and then form
a gradient curve, construction is easier, and the structure is more proper.
[0066] Further, in the building step of the framework structures, the framework structures
and the fasteners are fastened on the building, and an anti-slip coefficient of connecting
surfaces of the fasteners near the building is 0.45.
[0067] In the present embodiment, 1. abrasive blasting is to improve fatigue resistance
of a workpiece, and increase adhesion between the workpiece and a coating. 2. The
higher the anti-slip coefficient, the higher the structural safety, the higher the
design requirements, and the 0.45 anti-slip coefficient is adopted and is more suitable
for the gradient colors and strength requirements of connecting positions.
[0068] Further, in the assembly step of the aluminum sheet structures, in the aluminum sheet
structure on each framework structure, the adjacent aluminum sheet units are connected
through connecting plates, the aluminum sheet units are respectively inserted into
the connecting plates, no less than 4 anchor bolts are arranged on the connecting
position of each aluminum sheet unit and the connecting plate, and a pulling resistant
value of each anchor bolt is not less than 15 KN.
[0069] Further, the method also includes compensation for the aluminum sheet structure when
the aluminum sheet structure is twisted by 180°, and the compensation is specifically
as follows: an aluminum sheet structure after painting is formed by splicing the twisted
aluminum sheet structure and the surface sheet.
[0070] In the present embodiment, when a whole structure is relatively large and a shape
changes a lot, for example, 180° twisting is performed to show a gradient effect,
but due to a limitation of performance of the aluminum sheet itself, the single aluminum
sheet cannot be twisted to 180° at one time, therefore, in the present invention,
the single complete curtain wall is formed by splicing 1 to 3 aluminum sheets according
to the height of the curtain wall, and a twisting angle of the spliced aluminum sheet
is superimposed to achieve a gradient effect.
[0071] Further, the curtain wall at the northern end and the transition section of the building
is the single-splicing curtain wall twisted by 90°, the curtain wall at the southern
end is a double-splicing curtain formed by splicing two aluminum sheets twisted by
0° to 90°, the main curtain wall in the middle is the three-splicing curtain wall
formed by splicing two aluminum sheets twisted by 90° and the surface sheet, the two
twisted aluminum sheets in the three-splicing curtain wall are gradient-color control
sheets, the surface sheet is a gradient-color compensation sheet, the control sheets
control a twisting gradient curved surface through continuous length changes and quantitative
cutting, with a length ranging from 50 mm to 4000 mm, and the compensation sheet makes
quantitative compensation according to a design length of the curtain wall, with a
length ranging from 50 mm to 2200 mm.
Embodiment 4
[0072] The present embodiment is introduced in combination with specific construction.
[0073] The present invention is a manufacturing process of a twisted aluminum sheet of a
building decoration material. Since a twisting radian of the aluminum sheet of a whole
building curtain wall needs to be coordinated and coherent, and an outer hanging surface
as a whole presents a streamer-shaped louver system, a length, a twisting angle and
a splicing direction of each aluminum sheet need to be continuously changed, which
puts forward extremely high requirements for fine processing and mounting of the aluminum
sheet, and therefore, the present invention mainly solves the technical problems including
continuous variable-radian twisting of the aluminum sheet and fine coordinated mounting
of a gradient-color curved surface of the aluminum sheet. Referring to Figs. 1-4,
in the twisted aluminum sheet having the gradient color in the present embodiment,
each aluminum sheet structure 100 includes a plurality of aluminum sheet units 110
having gradient colors from top to bottom, at the same time, the aluminum sheet structure
is from wide to narrow, then a middle faces an upper side and a lower side which are
both of a sharp-corner structure, and then the middle continues downwards to form
a wider structure. Specifically, a sharp-corner length of the lower side is greater
than that of the upper side. Further, through the width change, it reflects a plurality
of times of twisting of the whole aluminum sheet structure, and then a multi-twisting
curve structure is formed.
[0074] Referring to the twisted aluminum sheet having the gradient color, the whole aluminum
sheet structure forms a multi-wave curve structure again, and not only has the plurality
of times of twisting, but also has a plurality of times of gradual changes from top
to bottom and from left and right, and the appearance is beautiful.
[0075] The present embodiment specifically includes contents as follows:
First part, brief introduction of twisted aluminum sheet and connecting parts
[0076] The twisted aluminum sheet of the present invention is a hollow rectangular aluminum
sheet made of a single aluminum sheet with a thickness of 4 mm, the original sheet
is an aluminum-magnesium alloy with a series of 5005 and a state of H
24, a cross section is 40 mm×350 mm, a length ranges from 50 mm to 4000 mm, and two
longitudinal ribbed sheets are internally arranged, which may effectively reduce the
dead weight of the sheet, reinforce a section feature thereof, improve whole rigidity,
and facilitates prevention of deformation damage in the aluminum sheet twisting process.
The twisting angle of the aluminum sheet is about 0° to 90°, in which a twisting angle
at a gradient-color curve surface position is near 90°. A plurality of slots and holes
are formed in the twisted aluminum sheet, and the twisted aluminum sheet is connected
with vertical keels on a building external facade by galvanized connecting steel sheets
and high-strength bolts. The aluminum sheet is painted with a gold violet blue/gold
red violet two-color chameleon four-sided spraying technology, one adjacent surface
is sprayed with gold violet blue, the other adjacent surface is sprayed with gold
red violet, and a painting process adopts fluorocarbon spraying treatment.
[0077] Aluminum sheet curtain wall hanging pieces are connected with the square steel rigid
framework through the fasteners, and the square steel rigid framework is connected
with the steel structure building through the connecting parts, thus forming the aluminum
sheet curtain wall of the stable structure. The square steel rigid framework is a
large-gap grille structure, and adopts Q235 carbon structural steel, the square steels
mainly have three models of 160*80*8 mm, 120*120*6 mm and 80*80*5 mm, the longitudinal
and transverse square steels are connected through the butt welds, and fluorocarbon
spraying anti-corrosion treatment is performed on surfaces. The fasteners mainly include
connecting plates, bolts, screws, studs, nuts, etc. The high-strength bolts adopt
10.9-level friction type connecting high-strength bolts, a connecting surface is abrasively
blasted, and an anti-slip coefficient is 0.45.
Second part, manufacturing process of twisted aluminum sheet
[0078] A twisted aluminum sheet processing apparatus adopts a fully hydraulic combination
sheet rolling machine, front and rear ends are respectively a large-disc twisting
machine and a three-roller sheet rolling machine, the large-disc twisting machine
at the front end provides active twisting force, which may refine a twisting angle
through an automatic numerical control system, and the three-roller sheet rolling
machine at the rear end provides passive limiting force, which limits twisting displacement
of the aluminum sheet, but releases longitudinal displacement of the sheet. In order
to solve the problems that elastic deformation, yield deformation, etc. are prone
to appearing in a traditional twisting process, the project improves the sheet twisting
processing technology, mainly including three aspects: (1) the hollow sheet is filled
with a PVC pipe, so that stress in the sheet twisting process is more uniform, and
especially a position near the ribbed sheet is smoother, so as to resist harmful plastic
deformation caused by stress concentration in the middle of the sheet; (2) sheet twisting
adopts a multi-time small-angle twisting process, after rebound appears in the process,
multiple times of small-amount twisting continues to be performed, and an angle of
single-time twisting does not exceed 5°, so as to make the angle gradually approach
to a design value, thereby effectively overcoming uncontrollable yield deformation;
and (3) the end of the sheet rolling machine may freely extend and retract in the
sheet direction, so as to avoid longitudinal stress concentration.
[0079] According to the design length of the twisted aluminum sheet, in the early stage
of manufacturing of the project, the aluminum sheet with the design length (50 mm
to 4000 mm) is adopted to be twisted, however, because the shorter the sheet, the
worse the uniformity of twisting deformation, especially when the length is less than
2 m, the effective twisting length of the aluminum sheet is insufficient. In order
to solve the above problems, the present invention solves the problem of the effective
length of the twisted aluminum sheet by increasing the sheet length to 6 m and then
twisting, and then cutting two ends of the deformed aluminum sheet to the design length.
Third part, painting process for twisted aluminum sheet and connecting parts
[0080] In the present invention, a formed aluminum sheet twisting process is assisted by
a gold violet blue/gold red violet two-color chameleon spraying technology, and the
process is three-spraying two-baking fluorocarbon spraying treatment. Three-spraying
refers to that three groups of spray guns are started during spraying, the first group
of spray guns sprays primer, the second group of spray guns sprays color paint (fluorocarbon
or polyester paint), and the third group of spray guns sprays protective top paint
(varnish). Two-baking refers to two times of baking of the aluminum sheet after three-spraying.
A sprayed aluminum-magnesium alloy profile has the characteristics of being excellent
in corrosion resistance and weather resistance, firm and durable, beautiful for decoration,
simple in production process, environmentally friendly, etc. Through the gradient
twisting of the aluminum sheet, an external hanging curtain wall of the Huaqi Hall
finally achieves a desired effect of displaying gorgeous colors under different light
source conditions.
[0081] The connecting parts also adopt fluorocarbon spraying treatment. A coating mainly
includes primer, intermediate paint, finish paint and finish-coat paint. A total thickness
of a dry paint film of the coating is no less than 150 µm.
Fourth part, aluminum sheet curtain wall mounting process
[0082] The aluminum sheet external hanging curtain wall adopts single splicing by a mobile
crane, and splicing between aluminum sheets is through the connection of a plug-in
galvanized steel connecting plate with upper and lower aluminum sheets by bolts, each
connecting point has no less than 4 anchor bolts, a pulling resistant value of the
anchor bolts is no less than 15 KN, and an anchoring safety level is 2.
Fifth part, twisted aluminum sheet gradient-color curve control
[0083] The design of the twisted aluminum sheet external hanging curtain wall of this project
is presented as a streamer-shaped louver system, the aluminum sheet gradient curve
is continuously connected along the streamer curve, and high consistency of the curve
becomes another problem that needs to be solved in the present invention.
[0084] In order to present the gradient color effect, the curtain wall aluminum sheet needs
to be twisted by 180°, however, due to the limitation of the performance of the aluminum
sheet itself, a single piece of aluminum sheet cannot be twisted to 180° at one time,
therefore, in the present invention, according to the height of the curtain wall,
the single complete curtain wall is formed by splicing 1 to 3 aluminum sheets, and
the twisting angles of the spliced aluminum sheets are superimposed to achieve the
gradient effect. A curtain wall at a northern end and a transition section of the
building is a single-splicing curtain wall twisted by 90°, a curtain wall at a southern
end is a double-splicing curtain wall formed by splicing two aluminum sheets twisted
by 0° to 90°, a main curtain wall in the middle is a three-splicing curtain wall formed
by splicing two aluminum sheets twisted by 90° and a surface sheet, the two twisted
aluminum sheets in the three-splicing curtain wall are gradient-color control sheets,
the surface sheet is a gradient-color compensation sheet, the control sheets control
a twisting gradient curved surface through continuous length changes and quantitative
cutting, with a length ranging from 50 mm to 4000 mm, and the compensation sheet makes
quantitative compensation according to a design length of the curtain wall, with a
length ranging from 50 mm to 2200 mm.
[0085] The gradient curve control of the aluminum sheet curtain wall is a complex project
with an extremely high precision requirement. In order to ensure a gradient-color
streamer effect of the twisted aluminum sheet, the present invention studies a professional
numbering system, which systematically numbers all the aluminum sheets, and a numbering
logic is shown in appendix 1.
[0086] The present invention adopts a multi-time small-angle twisting superposition process
for aluminum sheet processing, in the manufacturing process, the problem of aluminum
sheet yield deformation or uneven rebound margin which is prone to appearing in one-time
twisting forming in the traditional process is solved, the former problem causes direct
deformation damage of the aluminum sheet, the later problem causes an uncontrollable
aluminum sheet twisting angle, and multi-time small-angle twisting may effectively
control the rebound of the aluminum sheet through the bit-by-bit deformation accumulation
and may precisely control the designed angle of the aluminum sheet.
[0087] In the twisting process of the aluminum sheet, the problem that ends of the aluminum
sheet sink and are damaged due to excessively large stress of clamp at two ends is
prone to appearing, and the present invention effectively solves the problem of the
deformation of the ends of the aluminum sheet by increasing an effective processing
length of the aluminum sheet, and not arranging a stress end in a design length range
of the aluminum sheet.
[0088] In the twisting process of the aluminum sheet, not only two ends are prone to generating
concentrated stress, but also a central part is prone to generating stress concentration
because of the increase of the twisting angle and the accumulation of the deformation
amount, resulting in buckling deformation of the central part. According to the present
invention, the flexible material makes stress in the sheet twisting process more uniform
by filling the hollow sheet with the PVC pipe, and especially the position near the
ribbed sheet is smoother, so as to resist the harmful plastic deformation caused by
the stress concentration in the middle of the sheet.
[0089] Mounting of the aluminum sheet curtain wall of the present invention mainly solves
two major problems, one is connection and fixation of the twisted sheet, and the other
is to cater to various connection angles. The aluminum sheet curtain wall is connected
by bolts, long kidney-shaped holes are formed in the connecting parts, not only is
mounting simple and fast, but also straightness of the sheet adjusting on the spot
is achieved, and a shortcoming of aluminum sheet deformation caused by excessive hot
welding is overcome. The aluminum sheet is mounted by adopting single-piece hoisting
splicing, which has high operability and strong controllability, and is conducive
to the control over the streamer-shaped gradient color effect of the aluminum sheet
curtain wall.
[0090] In the present embodiment, the single aluminum sheets are not directly connected,
but are connected with the rigid framework behind through high-strength bolts, and
then the rigid framework is connected with the building. Forming of the high kidney-shaped
holes of bolts of the aluminum sheet and the rigid framework and single mounting of
the aluminum sheet are for catering to the connecting angle. The high kidney-shaped
holes may adapt to an error of the length of the sheet by adjusting fixation positions
of the bolts, and the single mounting may adjust the angle of the aluminum sheet on
a plane.
[0091] There are lots of curtain wall aluminum sheets of many types in the present invention,
the height sizes of the aluminum sheets change along the gradient-color curve of the
building, the present invention studies the strict and complete numbering system,
in the mounting process of the aluminum sheets, each aluminum sheet is mounted according
to the numbering sequence of the aluminum sheets, and the mounting heights of the
aluminum sheets are strictly controlled, providing a strong guarantee for the final
effect of the streamer-shaped gradient color presented by the aluminum sheet curtain
wall.
