Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of window technology, and more particularly to a unitized window with an interior concealed sash effect. Background Technology

[0002] In modern architectural design, doors and windows not only serve practical functions such as heat insulation, sound insulation, windproofing, and waterproofing, but are also an important part of architectural aesthetics. Designers' pursuit of smooth architectural lines and visual unity has led to a trend towards minimalist styles in door and window design. Among these, the concealed frame unit door and window structure is becoming increasingly popular due to its ability to minimize visual obstruction and enhance the simplicity and transparency of the building facade.

[0003] The design of frameless modular doors and windows integrates into the building facade by minimizing or completely concealing the frame material, creating a near-borderless visual effect. However, the design and integration of operable sashes present challenges for frameless doors and windows, especially in achieving functionality while maintaining architectural aesthetics.

[0004] Traditional operable window designs achieve functionality by adding visible frame materials and hardware, which often disrupts the continuity of the building facade. From the interior, the opening portion of the window appears rather abrupt due to the additional frame. This visual difference affects the overall aesthetics, especially in modern designs that emphasize visual extension and a sense of spaciousness.

[0005] like Figure 8 As shown, viewed from inside, the operable sash has an additional frame and sash material added to the existing unit frame (i.e., fixed sash), making the operable sash's frame significantly longer than the fixed sash. As a result, the operable sash appears visually overly prominent. This design detracts from the aesthetic appeal of interior doors and windows, thus posing a challenge for many architects and window and door manufacturers when determining the number and layout of operable sashes.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to further improve and refine the existing technology to overcome these shortcomings, and this invention is made based on this situation. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a unitized window in which the openable and fixed sashes appear identical when viewed from inside and outside the room, and the openable and fixed sashes can be quickly switched.

[0008] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a unitized window with an indoor concealed sash effect, including a window frame fixed in the window opening. The window frame includes horizontal frames on the upper and lower sides and several vertical frames between the upper and lower horizontal frames. The spacing between adjacent vertical frames is equal. Several fixed sashes and operable sashes are installed in the window frame. Both the fixed sashes and operable sashes include the same concealed frame unit window body. The fixed sash also includes a fixing member disposed between the indoor side of the unit window body and the indoor side of the corresponding window frame. The operable sash also includes a sliding support disposed between the side of the unit window body and the side of the corresponding window frame. The fixing member and the sliding support are interchangeable to realize the interchangeability of the fixed sashes and operable sashes.

[0010] To further solve the technical problem to be solved by the present invention, the present invention provides a unit window with an indoor concealed fan effect, wherein the unit window body includes a fan frame and a glass panel fixed to the outdoor end of the fan frame, and the fan frame includes horizontal fan frames located on the upper and lower sides and vertical fan frames located on the left and right sides.

[0011] To further address the technical problem addressed by this invention, the present invention provides a unitized window with an indoor concealed sash effect, wherein the left and / or right interior ends of the vertical frame are provided with wing plates extending to both sides, and the wing plates are provided with stepped surfaces protruding outward in the direction of the outside, the stepped surfaces abutting against the interior side of the corresponding vertical sash frame; a hardware channel for installing a sliding support is reserved between the left and / or right sides of the vertical frame and the side of the corresponding vertical sash frame.

[0012] To further address the technical problem addressed by this invention, the present invention provides a unitized window with an indoor concealed sash effect, wherein the fixing component is a connecting screw connecting the stepped surface of the wing plate and the corresponding indoor side surface of the vertical sash frame.

[0013] To further address the technical problem addressed by this invention, the present invention provides a unitized window with an indoor concealed sash effect, wherein the indoor side of the wing plate is equipped with a pressure plate for concealing connecting screws and the stepped surface.

[0014] To further address the technical problem addressed by this invention, the present invention provides a unit window with an indoor concealed sash effect, wherein the cross-section of the vertical sash frame is "L"-shaped, and the horizontal portion of the "L" shape faces the edge of the glass panel; the cross-section of the vertical frame is "T"-shaped or inverted "L"-shaped, thereby enabling the corresponding vertical sash frame and vertical frame to form a beveled joint structure that is wider outdoors and narrower indoors.

[0015] To further address the technical problem addressed by this invention, the present invention provides a unitized window with an indoor concealed sash effect, wherein a structural adhesive is provided between the outdoor end of the sash frame and the glass panel for fixing and connecting the two.

[0016] To further address the technical problem addressed by this invention, the present invention provides a unitized window with an indoor concealed sash effect, wherein several sealing strips are provided at the joint between the sash frame and the window frame.

[0017] To further address the technical problem addressed by this invention, the present invention provides a unitized window with an indoor concealed fan effect, wherein the sliding support is a translational sliding support.

[0018] To further address the technical problem addressed by this invention, a unitized window with an indoor concealed sash effect is provided, wherein an expansion bolt is provided between the window frame and the window opening to connect the two. The operable sash also has a handle.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0020] 1. In this invention, since both the fixed and operable windows utilize frameless unit window frames, this design significantly reduces the window frame visible from both the outside and inside, making the window more harmonious with the wall and enhancing the modernity and simplicity of the interior design. Furthermore, because the fixed and operable windows use identical unit window frames, there is no difference between them whether viewed from the inside or the outside, ensuring consistency. This window design of the present invention is characterized by strong concealment and aesthetic appeal, making it suitable for the window requirements of modern architectural designs that pursue a minimalist style.

[0021] 2. Furthermore, this design allows for quick replacement of fixed and operable windows. Converting a fixed window to an operable window, or vice versa, is very simple, requiring only the interchange of the fasteners and sliding supports. This design greatly simplifies window and door maintenance and functional adjustments. If replacement or upgrades are needed, conversion between fixed and operable windows is achieved through simple component replacement. This flexibility makes the window system of this invention both adaptable and easy to maintain, further enhancing its practical value in modern architecture.

[0022] 3. To ensure the versatility and practicality of the design, the same wing plates, stepped surfaces, and pressure plates are used between the window frame and the fixed sash, as well as between the window frame and the operable sash; the only difference is whether or not fasteners are installed. Similarly, hardware channels for installing sliding supports are provided between the vertical frame and the vertical frame of the fixed sash, as well as between the vertical frame and the vertical frame of the operable sash; the only difference is whether or not sliding supports are installed. This versatility greatly simplifies the manufacturing process and also provides end users with convenience in maintaining and replacing window components. Attached Figure Description

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 7 The illustrated unitized window features an interior concealed fan effect, designed to provide a more elegant and modern visual experience.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the window includes a window frame 1 fixed in the window opening. The window frame 1 includes horizontal frames 11 at the top and bottom ends and several vertical frames 12 arranged at equal intervals. These vertical frames 12 connect the two horizontal frames 11 to create a neat and uniform frame structure.

[0035] Within this structure, the window frame 1 is designed to accommodate multiple fixed windows 2a and operable windows 2b, all of which are composed of the same frameless unit windows 21 to ensure visual consistency and overall design fluidity.

[0036] In the fixed sash 2a, the unit window 21 is securely connected to the corresponding interior end face of the window frame 1 via a fastener 22, ensuring the window is safe and stable when closed. Conversely, the operable sash 2b is opened and closed via a sliding support 23 installed between the side of the unit window 21 and the corresponding side of the window frame 1. This design not only facilitates use but also maintains the window's aesthetics. The fastener 22 and the sliding support 23 are interchangeable, allowing for the interchangeability of the fixed sash 2a and the operable sash 2b.

[0037] In this invention, since both the fixed window 2a and the operable window 2b adopt frameless unit window 21, this design greatly reduces the window frame visible from both the outside and inside, making the window more harmonious with the wall and enhancing the modernity and simplicity of the interior design. Moreover, since the fixed window 2a and the operable window 2b use identical unit window 21, there is no difference between them whether viewed from the inside or the outside, ensuring consistency.

[0038] Furthermore, this design allows for quick replacement of the fixed sash 2a and the operable sash 2b. Whether converting the fixed sash 2a to the operable sash 2b, or vice versa, the process is very simple, requiring only the interchange of the fastener 22 and the sliding support 23. This design greatly simplifies the maintenance and functional adjustment of doors and windows. If replacement or upgrades are needed, only simple component replacements are required to switch between the fixed and operable sashes. This flexibility makes the window system of this invention both adaptable and easy to maintain, further enhancing its practical value in modern architecture.

[0039] This window design, as described in this invention, is highly concealed and aesthetically pleasing, making it suitable for the minimalist window requirements in modern architectural design. Through this innovative design, architects and designers can provide a cleaner, more streamlined visual effect for both the interior and exterior of buildings without sacrificing functionality.

[0040] More specifically, the unit window 21 includes a sash frame 211 and a glass panel 212 fixed to the outdoor end of the sash frame 211. The sash frame 211 is hidden inside the glass panel 212 and does not protrude from the side of the glass panel 212. This is a concealed sash, where only the glass panel 212 is visible from the outside, and the sash frame 211 is not visible.

[0041] The fan frame 211 includes horizontal fan frames 2111 located on the top and bottom sides, and vertical fan frames 2112 located on the left and right sides.

[0042] To facilitate the installation of the fastener 22, the indoor ends of the left and / or right sides of the vertical frame 12 are specially designed with wing plates 121. These wing plates extend to both sides, increasing the contact area between the frame and the sash frame 211. A distinctive stepped surface 1211 is further designed on the wing plate 121. This stepped surface protrudes outwards and directly abuts against the indoor side of the corresponding vertical sash frame 2112, ensuring precise alignment and stability during installation.

[0043] Furthermore, to achieve a secure connection between the fixed sash 2a and the window frame 1, the present invention specifically includes a fastener 22. This fastener is a connecting screw 221, which passes through the stepped surface 1211 of the wing plate 121 and is firmly locked onto the interior side of the corresponding vertical sash frame 2112. This not only ensures the stability between the fixed sash and the window frame, but also simplifies and speeds up the installation process.

[0044] Furthermore, to enhance the overall aesthetics and protect the connection points, a pressure plate 222 is added to the interior side of the wing panel 121. This pressure plate not only elegantly conceals the connecting screws 221 and the stepped surface 1211, avoiding visual inconsistencies and potential safety hazards caused by exposed metal components, but also increases the overall aesthetics of the window structure. Through this design, the window system of this invention achieves a new level in both practicality and appearance, strengthening structural stability while enhancing visual appeal.

[0045] To ensure the versatility and practicality of the design, the same wing plate 121, stepped surface 1211, and pressure plate 222 are configured between the window frame 1 and the fixed sash 2a, as well as between the window frame 1 and the operable sash 2b. The only difference is that there is no fastener 22 installed between the window frame 1 and the corresponding operable sash 2b. This versatility greatly simplifies the manufacturing process and also provides end users with convenience in maintaining and replacing window accessories.

[0046] This invention incorporates highly refined considerations into the window structure design to achieve easy installation and elegant concealment of the sliding support 23. The left and / or right sides of the vertical frame 12 innovatively feature dedicated hardware channels 122 between them and the sides of the corresponding vertical sash frame 2112. This design breaks through traditional window installation limitations and offers dual functional advantages, as detailed below:

[0047] 1) The hardware channel 122 provides the necessary installation space for the sliding support 23. One end of the sliding support 23 is fixed to the side of the vertical frame 12, and the other end is fixed to the side of the vertical sash frame 2112 of the operable sash 2b. The hardware channel 122 accommodates the sliding support 23, allowing it to be securely suspended in the window structure, ensuring that the operable sash can slide and lock smoothly.

[0048] 2) The hardware channel 122 serves to conceal the sliding support 23. Through this unique design, the sliding support 23 is cleverly hidden from view, and its main body cannot be seen from either the outside or the inside. This not only maintains the clean appearance of the window but also avoids potential safety risks caused by an exposed sliding support 23.

[0049] To ensure the versatility and practicality of the design, such hardware channels 122 are configured both between the vertical frame 12 and the vertical sash frame 2112 of the fixed sash 2a, and between the vertical frame 12 and the vertical sash frame 2112 of the operable sash 2b. This versatility greatly simplifies the manufacturing process and also provides end users with convenience in maintaining and replacing window accessories.

[0050] To facilitate the installation of the unit window 21 on the window frame 1, the vertical fan frame 2112 is designed with an "L" shaped cross section, and the horizontal part of the "L" shape faces the edge of the glass panel 212; the vertical frame 12 is designed with a "T" shaped cross section or an inverted "L" shaped cross section, so that the corresponding vertical fan frame 2112 and vertical frame 12 form a beveled joint structure that is wider outdoors and narrower indoors.

[0051] When the vertical sash frame 2112 aligns with the vertical frame 12, this unique bevel structure effectively guides the unit window 21 to slide securely into the window frame 1, achieving a simple and precise alignment process. This structure not only improves the efficiency of the installation process but also ensures that the window has better wind pressure resistance and waterproof performance after installation.

[0052] Furthermore, this beveled joint design, wider on the outside and narrower on the inside, improves installation efficiency and window stability while also enhancing the window's aesthetics. Because the joint gap is narrower on the inside, the window appears more compact and neat from within, while also reducing its footprint.

[0053] More specifically, structural adhesive 213 is used to fix the exterior end of the sash frame 211 to the glass panel 212. This structural adhesive 213 not only provides strong adhesion to fix the glass panel, but also can withstand various stresses in the external environment, such as temperature and humidity changes, thereby ensuring the long-term stability and airtightness of the window.

[0054] More specifically, several sealing strips 3 are provided at the mating position between the sash frame 211 and the window frame 1. For example... Figures 2 to 7 As shown in the embodiment, at least four layers of sealing strips 3 arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside are provided between the vertical sash frame 2112 and the vertical frame 12, forming a multi-layer sealing system. This composite sealing structure greatly enhances the window's ability to prevent wind and rain penetration, and improves the overall thermal insulation and sound insulation performance.

[0055] More specifically, for the practicality and convenience of the window, the sliding support 23 is designed to slide horizontally. This design makes the opening and closing of the operable sash 2b exceptionally smooth, requiring minimal force for easy operation by the user.

[0056] Expansion bolts 4 were used to secure the window frame 1 to the window opening. This design of expansion bolts 4 makes the connection between the window frame and the wall more stable, and the installation process is simple and quick.

[0057] In addition, to improve installation quality and sealing effect, gaskets 5 are installed between the window frame 1 and the window opening. These gaskets are coated with sealant 6 on both the interior and exterior sides. This design not only ensures a seamless fit between the window frame and the wall, but also prevents the penetration of moisture and air, thereby ensuring a dry and comfortable interior.

[0058] Finally, for ease of use, a handle is also designed on the inside of the operable sash 2b (although not shown in detail in the illustration). This handle is not only practical but also easy to grip, making opening or closing the window sash simpler and more convenient. Overall, these thoughtfully designed details reflect the high quality of the window and a deep consideration for the user experience.
