[0001] Cross-reference with related applications

[0002] This application claims priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2020-0128146 dated October 5, 2020, and includes, as part of this specification, all contents described in the corresponding Korean patent application. Technical Field

[0004] This invention relates to window ventilation devices, and more specifically to a window ventilation device with a structure similar to that of a window, thereby improving ease of construction. Background Technology

[0005] Generally, the way to ventilate indoor air is to open windows or doors that connect to the outside of the building to exchange indoor and outdoor air.

[0006] However, in recent years, due to industrial development, outdoor air quality has deteriorated due to dust, vehicle exhaust, and other pollutants. Therefore, simply exchanging indoor and outdoor air by opening windows or entering and exiting doors is insufficient to improve indoor air quality.

[0007] Therefore, in recent years, many window ventilation devices have been developed that integrate filters or window ventilation units into windows.

[0008] However, since traditional window ventilation devices are mostly injection molded as electronic products, in order to combine them with the windows of extruded products, it is necessary to find the structural part of the window ventilation device and drill holes, and then fix the position of the window ventilation device again with anchor bolts on the opposite side, which makes the construction cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0023] In the following description, a window ventilation device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram showing a window-type ventilation device installed between a window and a wall according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0025] The window-type ventilation device is installed between the window 10 and the wall 20 for indoor air ventilation.

[0026] Specifically, the window-type ventilation device includes a housing 100 and a ventilation module 200.

[0027] First, the housing 100 includes an upper reinforcing member 110 having a predetermined width (x-direction), length (y-direction), and height (z-direction), and a lower reinforcing member 120 spaced apart from the upper reinforcing member 110 along the height direction to form an internal space. That is, the housing 100 is arranged vertically and horizontally by two reinforcing members spaced apart from each other. Furthermore, the housing 100 is fixedly installed between the window 10 and the wall 20 by anchor bolts or screws. Since the reinforcing members included in the housing 100 have a similar configuration to the window 10, the ease of construction is improved.

[0028] Furthermore, the ventilation module 200 is disposed within the interior space of the housing 100 to ventilate and exchange indoor air. For example, at least a portion of the interior space is formed as an open area, through which the ventilation module 200 can be disposed within the interior space. Specifically, the ventilation module 200 can be disposed within the interior space in a sliding manner through the open area.

[0029] Accordingly, the window ventilation device according to this application may include a housing cover (not shown) for covering the open area. The housing cover covers the open area so that the ventilation module 200 is not visible from the outside, and the housing cover can improve the stability of the window ventilation device installed across the indoor and outdoor (or balcony) areas.

[0030] According to the window-type ventilation device of this application, the position of the interior space can be adjusted, for example, based on the height of the upper reinforcing member 110 and the lower reinforcing member 120. This provides the advantage of eliminating the need for additional openings and fixing operations, and also facilitates integration with the window 10 at the desired location.

[0031] As an example, the upper reinforcing member 110 and the lower reinforcing member 120 may be extrusion-type reinforcing members. This invention includes extrusion-type reinforcing members identical to those used in the window 10 of an extrusion-type product. When the housing 100 is constructed as part of the wall 20, the construction method is the same as that used for the window 10, thus providing the advantage of improved construction convenience.

[0032] The shape and structure of the upper reinforcing member 110 will be described in detail below.

[0033] Specifically, the upper reinforcing member 110 and the lower reinforcing member 120 each include: a first reinforcing member 111 having a predetermined width, length, and height; a second reinforcing member 112 spaced at a predetermined interval from the first reinforcing member 111 along the width direction; and a plurality of thermal insulation strips 113 connecting the opposing first surfaces of the first reinforcing member and the second reinforcing member 112. The upper reinforcing member 110 improves its thermal insulation performance by including the thermal insulation strips 113 for connecting the reinforcing members. The areas of the first reinforcing member 111 and the second reinforcing member 112 facing the window 10 and the wall 20 are parallel, and for weight reduction purposes, a hollow internal form is preferred. For example, the first reinforcing member 111 and the second reinforcing member 112 can be in the form of a hollow profile, but are not limited to this; they can also be formed into various shapes such as circles as needed.

[0034] In addition, on the opposite first surfaces 111a and 112a of the first reinforcing member 111 and the second reinforcing member 112, there are joint grooves for joining multiple heat insulation strips 113, and the two ends of the heat insulation strips 113 can be provided with joint protrusions that are joined to the joint grooves.

[0035] In one specific example, the housing 100 may include a front cover 114 mounted on a second surface 111b of the first reinforcement 111 in the direction opposite to the first surface 111a; a rear cover 115 mounted on a second surface 112b of the second reinforcement 112 in the direction opposite to the first surface 112a; and a pair of side covers 116 connecting the front cover 114 and the rear cover 115, and respectively contacting the window 10 and the wall 20. The front cover 114, the rear cover 115, and the side covers 116 extend along the height direction, thereby being respectively mounted on corresponding structures of the lower reinforcement 120. That is, the housing 100 may have a structure in which the upper reinforcement 110 and the lower reinforcement 120 are surrounded by the front cover 114, the rear cover 115, and the side covers 116. In addition, the open area described above may be formed on at least one of the front cover 114 and the rear cover 115.

[0036] In one example, the side cover 116 may be made of a different material than the front cover 114 and the rear cover 115. The side cover 116 is fixed to the window 10 and the wall 20 respectively by anchor bolts or screws. Therefore, the material of the side cover 116 is preferably a material that is easy to open, easily absorbs impact, and has excellent thermal insulation properties.

[0037] Considering the physical properties described above, the material of the side cover 116 may be polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

[0038] On the one hand, considering strength and lightweight, the front cover 114 and the rear cover 115 can be made of appropriate materials. For example, the materials of the front cover 114 and the rear cover 115 can be aluminum.

[0039] In other examples, the plurality of thermal insulation strips 113 may be additionally installed on one or both sides of the first reinforcing member 111 and the second reinforcing member 112 along the width direction. The number of the plurality of thermal insulation strips 113 may be appropriately increased to consider thermal insulation performance and weight reduction.

[0040] In addition, the materials of the first reinforcing member 111 and the second reinforcing member 112 may be aluminum, but are not limited thereto. As long as the material can be extruded, there are no special restrictions.

[0041] Furthermore, the material of the heat insulation strip 113 can be polyamide (PA). Polyamide is easy to mold and has excellent heat insulation properties, making it suitable as a material for the heat insulation strip 113.

[0042] In one example, the housing 100 may include a heat insulation member 117 disposed on a second surface 111b, 112b of the first reinforcement 111 and the second reinforcement 112 in a direction opposite to the first surfaces 111a, 112a. The heat insulation member 117 fills the gaps between the first reinforcement 111 and the second reinforcement 112 and the front cover 114 and the rear cover 115, thereby improving the sound insulation and heat insulation of the window ventilation device; it may be a filling component. For example, the heat insulation member 117 may be made of a different material than the heat insulation strip 113, and may be heat insulation foam. More specifically, it may be expanded polypropylene (EPP).

[0043] On the one hand, the ventilation module 200, as a commonly used heat exchanger, exchanges heat between the incoming outdoor air and the polluted indoor air, thereby allowing clean air to flow into the room.

[0044] Specifically, the ventilation module 200 is provided with a heat exchange element (not shown) for exchanging heat between outdoor air flowing into the room from the outside and polluted indoor air.

[0045] Air intakes (not shown) and exhausts (not shown) may be provided on each side of the ventilation module 200. For example, the ventilation module 200 is provided with an indoor-side air intake to allow polluted indoor air to flow into its interior, and an outdoor-side air intake to allow outdoor air to flow into the ventilation module 200. In the ventilation module 200, outdoor air flowing in through the outdoor-side air intake and indoor air flowing in through the indoor-side air intake can exchange heat through a heat exchange element. Therefore, the ventilation module 200 may be provided with an indoor-side supply section (not shown) to supply the clean air that has undergone heat exchange to the room. In addition, the ventilation module 200 may be provided with an outdoor-side exhaust (not shown) to exhaust the polluted indoor air that has undergone heat exchange to the outside.

[0046] That is, the ventilation module 200 uses the heat exchange element installed inside to exchange heat between the fresh outdoor air and the polluted indoor air flowing into the room, thereby exhausting the polluted indoor air and the polluted air after heat exchange to the outside, and allowing clean air to flow into the room, thereby ventilating the indoor air.

[0047] As described above, in one embodiment of the present invention, specific matters such as specific constituent elements, as well as limited embodiments and drawings, are described. However, these descriptions are provided only to aid in further understanding the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, and various modifications and alterations can be made by those skilled in the art from these descriptions. Therefore, the spirit of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, and not only to the following claims, but all variations that are equivalent or equivalent to the claims are considered to fall within the scope of the present invention.
