Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a sliding insect screen window, and more specifically, to a sliding window equipped with an insect screen or glass window that slides vertically within a window frame. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, windows are installed in buildings to introduce natural light and outside air into the interior and to ventilate the indoor air. These windows consist of a window frame fixed to the building's wall, a window sash installed on the frame, and glass fixed to the sash. When the sash opens and closes, windows are classified into sliding, casement, and rotary types depending on the opening and closing mechanism.

[0003] Since windows with sashes that open and close can cause problems where insects or pests enter through the open area, they generally include an insect screen. In this case, the insect screen includes a mesh frame installed on the window frame and a mesh fixed to the mesh frame. Here, the mesh is implemented to perform the function of an indoor air vent while enabling the blocking of insects or fine dust.

[0004] Conventional sliding windows are configured so that a window sash or insect screen slides within a window frame, and are installed to open and close mainly in the left-right or up-down directions. As a related technology, Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 10-2755289 discloses an up-and-down movable insect screen assembly. Referring to FIG. 1, the up-and-down movable insect screen assembly includes a rail section (1), a winding section (2), and an insect screen section (3). At this time, the insect screen section (3) is implemented so that it can move up and down on the rail section (1) by means of the winding section (2).

[0005] However, conventional vertically movable insect screen assemblies have the disadvantage that it is difficult to change to relatively heavy glass windows because the insect screen part is raised and lowered through a reel-type winding part. In particular, the conventional technology has a limitation in that the insect screen part can only be raised and lowered within a limited range due to the reel and the lowering threshold. Furthermore, the conventional technology has the problem of increasing user inconvenience because the tension of the winding part must be adjusted through a tension regulator to partially open the insect screen.

[0006] (Patent Document 0001) KR 10-2755289 B1 (Published Jan. 21, 2025)(Patent Document 0002) KR 10-2680064 B1 (Published June 28, 2024)(Patent Document 0003) US 2013-0228296 A1 (Published Sep. 5, 2013) The problem to be solved

[0007] The present invention has been devised to solve the problems of the prior art, and the objective of the present invention is to provide a sliding window that can support an insect screen or glass window according to the user's requirements and allows for easy partial opening and closing. means of solving the problem

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the sliding window (10) according to the present invention comprises a window frame (100), a first panel frame (200) installed on the window frame (100) and sliding up and down, a first panel (300) fixed to the first panel frame (200), and a locking part (600) installed on the lower part of the first panel frame (200) to fix the first panel frame (200) to the window frame (100). The locking part (600) includes an insertion member (640) protruding in a lateral direction, and a fixing groove (130b) into which the insertion member (640) is inserted is formed in the side frame (130) of the window frame (100).

[0009] Additionally, the locking member (600) may further include a support member (610) fixed to the center of the lower left and right sides of the first panel frame (200), a spring (620) mounted on the support member (610), and a cover member (630) having one end in contact with the spring (620) and the other end coupled with the insertion member (640).

[0010] Additionally, the locking part (600) may further include a gripping member (650) whose upper end is fixed to the lower surface of the cover member (630) and which extends downward.

[0011] Additionally, the locking part (600) may be configured such that the cover member (630) and the insertion member (640) are each formed as a pair and arranged to be oriented around the spring (620).

[0012] Additionally, the locking part (600) allows the insertion member (640) to be disengaged from the fixing groove (130a) when a pair of the cover members (630) move in a direction facing each other.

[0013] Additionally, a groove (200a) is formed on the lower surface of the first panel frame (200) that is recessed upward and extends in the left-right direction, and the cover member (630) can be inserted into the groove (200a) to extend in length in the left-right direction.

[0014] Additionally, the groove (200a) is formed such that the front-rear width of the internal hollow is greater than the front-rear width of the opening that is open to the lower side, and the cover member (630) can be inserted into the side of the groove (200a).

[0015] Additionally, the sliding window (10) according to the present invention further includes a plate spring (700) interposed between the side of the first panel frame (200) and the inner surface of the side frame (130), and the plate spring (700) is fixed to the first panel frame (200) and can elastically press the inner surface of the side frame (130).

[0016] Additionally, the upper and lower ends of the leaf spring (700) are fixed to the first panel frame (200), and the center of the upper and lower ends may protrude in an arc shape in the direction in which the side frame (130) is positioned.

[0017] Additionally, the sliding window (10) according to the present invention may further include a second panel frame (400) installed on the window frame (100) so as to be staggered with the first panel frame (200), a second panel (500) fixed to the second panel frame (400), and a cleaner (800) having one end fixed to the lower part of the first panel frame (200) and the other end in contact with the second panel (500). Effects of the invention

[0018] The sliding window according to the present invention, configured as described above, has the advantage of enhancing structural stability of the vertically opening and closing window by preventing separation due to external forces and strengthening durability, as the insertion member of the locking part is inserted into the fixing groove so that the first panel frame is fixed to the window frame. In particular, the present invention can lead to the effect of improving user convenience by allowing the user to easily fix and release the first panel frame without the need for separate tools.

[0019] In addition, the sliding window according to the present invention has the advantage that the first panel frame can be easily slidably opened and closed in a position without a fixing groove through the spring and leaf spring of the locking part, and can be partially fixed at each position. Since the first panel frame can be opened and fixed to the level required by the user, this can lead to the effect of being utilized in a wider variety of positions.

[0020] In addition, the sliding window according to the present invention has the advantage of making cleaning and maintenance easier because cleaning work on the first panel and the second panel is performed during the sliding opening and closing process through a cleaner installed on the first panel frame or the second panel frame.
