Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of the invention.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-11 Figures show the structure of the curtain wall converter of the present invention and its components. As shown in the figure, the present invention provides an installation method for a curtain wall converter. Its overall structure includes two oppositely arranged converter connectors 2, anti-sway damping 1, and a fork fixing sleeve 4. The converter connector 2 includes a base plate 21 and a connecting part 22 disposed on the base plate 21. One end of the connecting part 22 is formed with a slot 23. The base plate 21 is provided with a notch 24 corresponding to the slot 23. The anti-sway damping 1 is installed on the other end of the base plate 24 away from the notch. The two opposite end faces of the two converter connectors 2 abut against each other. The two slots 23 form cavities for the fork fixing sleeve 4 to be embedded in, and the two notches 24 form cavities for the fork to pass through.

[0026] Thanks to the converter's rear-mounted design, the handle can be installed independently in its designated position before the converter itself is installed. This improves the handle's installation strength and lifespan while simplifying the installation process. The converter also features a cavity for the pull fork to pass through, allowing for blind installation without any active positioning, making installation quick and convenient.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the outer wall of the fork fixing sleeve 4 is provided with a groove 41, and the inner wall of the groove 23 is provided with a rib 42 corresponding to the groove 41, so that the fork fixing sleeve 4 is fixed by the cooperation of the groove 41 and the rib 42.

[0028] This locking and fixing method, which uses grooves and ribs to fit together, facilitates installation and fixation, and also reduces the cost of using other fasteners.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the connecting part 22 is further provided with a screw hole 5 for fixing the fastening screw 3. The fastening screw in this invention is a hexagonal socket head cap screw.

[0030] In one possible implementation, the other end of the connecting part 22 is provided with a through hole 6 for connecting to the transmission rod.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the fork fixing sleeve 4 is provided with a square hole 43 corresponding to the fork.

[0032] In one possible implementation, each base plate 21 is equipped with two anti-sway dampers 1 corresponding to the vertical direction.

[0033] The curtain wall converter of the present invention can effectively install and fix the operating handle first, improving the installation strength and service life of the handle, while simplifying the installation operation. Moreover, the converter connector has a groove corresponding to the lever fork, which can quickly position and install it. In addition, the converter connector has a groove corresponding to the lever fork, which can be blindly installed to the bottom without any active positioning operation, making the installation quick and convenient. Furthermore, the lever fork fixing sleeve, converter connector, and handle lever fork have mutual positioning installation features to ensure the stability of the entire converter installation. After the converter connectors on both sides are installed in the fixed position, they can form closed square holes corresponding to the lever fork. The lever fork fixing sleeve has a square hole corresponding to the lever fork, which further ensures the lever fork transmission. The fastening screw fixing method is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0034] Based on the above structural design of the curtain wall converter of the present invention, the operating handle is first installed independently to the designated position, such as... Figures 5-6 As shown, first install the operating handle 7 onto the profile surface, and then install the mounting screws 9 through the pre-drilled holes 8 in the profile groove. The specific installation steps for the converter are as follows:

[0035] 1. Connect both ends of the converter connectors on both sides to the transmission rod respectively, and insert the converter connectors on both sides into the transmission groove of the window sash (e.g., Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 (as shown)

[0036] 2. During the installation of the converter connector, the inner side of the converter connector has a limiting socket feature corresponding to the operating handle fork, and no active positioning is required. The converter connectors at both ends are directly and blindly inserted to the bottom, directly abutting against the operating handle fork. The end faces of the converter connectors on both sides abut against each other, forming a closed loop corresponding to the fork (e.g., Figure 9 (as shown)

[0037] 3. Insert the shift fork retaining sleeve into the converter connector that has already been installed in the previous step. The square hole in the center of the shift fork retaining sleeve and the grooves around the perimeter of the shift fork retaining sleeve should correspond one-to-one with the ribs of the converter connector (e.g., ...). Figure 10 (as shown)

[0038] 4. Finally, tighten the set screws on the two beveled surfaces of the converter connector to achieve the function of fixing the curtain wall converter (e.g., Figure 11 (As shown).

[0039] The above detailed description of the curtain wall converter, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, indicates that the curtain wall converter of this invention includes two opposing converter connectors, an anti-sway damper, and a fork fixing sleeve. Each converter connector includes a base plate and a connecting portion disposed on the base plate. One end of the connecting portion has a slot, and the base plate has a notch corresponding to the slot. The other end of the base plate, away from the notch, is fitted with an anti-sway damper. The two opposing end faces of the two converter connectors abut against each other. The two slots form cavities for the fork fixing sleeve to be inserted, and the two notches form cavities for the fork to pass through. The curtain wall converter of this invention, through its retrofit design, allows for independent installation of the operating handle to a designated position, improving the handle's installation strength and service life, while simplifying the installation operation.

[0040] Furthermore, the converter connector has a groove corresponding to the shift fork, enabling quick positioning and installation. Additionally, the groove allows for blind installation without any active positioning, making installation fast and convenient. Moreover, the shift fork fixing sleeve, converter connector, and handle shift fork have mutually positioning installation features, ensuring the stability of the entire converter installation. After the converter connectors on both sides are installed in their fixed positions, they form closed square holes corresponding to the shift fork. The shift fork fixing sleeve also has a square hole corresponding to the shift fork, further ensuring shift fork transmission. The fastening screw fixing method facilitates easy disassembly and assembly.

[0041] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention.
