Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sunrooms, and in particular relates to a foldable sunroom and a folding method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Sun room is also called glass room, and its foreign name is winter garden. Sun room is a non-traditional building built with glass and metal frame to enjoy the sunshine and get close to nature. Sun room is a building admired by people who pursue nature and fashion at home and abroad. Sun room is widely studied in Shanghai, North China. It needs to be designed and built according to the needs of the site and personal hobbies, and the interior layout can be decorated according to personal preferences. Balcony or terrace sun room is in the whole house, so visual connection is very important. It needs to be consistent with the overall style of the building, and the overall color tone should be kept consistent as much as possible.

[0003] However, most of the existing sunrooms are composed of steel frames, which cannot be folded and are inconvenient to move. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies, the present invention provides a foldable sun room and a folding method thereof.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is: a foldable sunroom, which includes an outer box, columns, doors, folding windows, a roof, a floor, support rods and foldable walls. The columns are four and are respectively arranged at the four corners inside the outer box and fixed by bolts; the door is installed on the foldable wall on the A facade side; the folding windows are arranged in multiple places and are respectively installed on the foldable walls on the A facade, the B facade, the C facade and the D facade; the roof is arranged on the top of the columns and the foldable wall; the support rods are arranged inside the outer box; and the floor is movably connected to the outer box.

[0006] As an optimization, the floor includes a rocker arm, an outdoor floor, a movable latch, an indoor floor and an intermediate shaft, the rocker arm is movably connected to the outdoor floor; the outdoor floor is connected to the indoor floor through a movable latch; the indoor floor and the intermediate shaft are clamped and fixed.

[0007] As an optimization, the top includes an upper frame, a lower frame, a scissors cross support, a skylight, a decorative corner, a foldable gutter and a sealable water retaining plate. The upper frame and the lower frame are connected in the middle by a scissors cross support; the scissors cross support is movably connected to the upper frame and the lower frame respectively; the skylight is arranged on the top of the upper frame and adopts a push-pull type; the foldable gutter is installed around the skylight by hinges.
