2. Venlo greenhouse glass installation
The installation structure of glass is divided into two types: frame installation structure and frameless installation structure. A framed installation structure means that the glass is supported by a frame around the perimeter, and all glass edges are required to be surrounded and closed by frame notches or grooves, and the frame has sufficient load-bearing strength and stiffness; if this requirement is not met, it is considered a frameless installation. structure. Greenhouses basically use frame-mounted structures, but in recent years, glass greenhouse roof windows designed by foreign greenhouse companies have appeared in frameless installation structures. Glass framed mounting structures consist of mounting notches or grooves on the frame and the glass mounting material.
1. Principles of glass installation: Special aluminum alloy profiles are generally used in greenhouses to fix the glass on the greenhouse frame. After glass is installed, it will inevitably be affected by wind load, rain and snow load, earthquake action or other effective loads. Due to the unique strength characteristics of glass, when the stress exceeds its elastic limit, it is different from polycarbonate plates, films and other materials that have plastic deformation. ability, but breaks immediately. In order to ensure the safety, reliability and durability of the entire installation structure, the following principles should be followed during installation.
(1) The plate surface and thickness dimensions of the glass should be determined according to the effective load strength of the glass. The maximum bending deformation deflection of the glass under load should not be greater than 1/70 of the span.
(2) The frame that fixes the glass should have sufficient strength to prevent the glass from breaking due to frame deformation. Frame deformations are generally designed to be no more than 1/180 of the span.
(3) There should be a suitable gap between the glass periphery and the frame, and the area should be filled with elastic material to avoid installation stress.
