Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of blinds technology, and more particularly to a type of blind with waterproof and drainage effects. Background Technology
[0002] Venetian blinds are windows composed of multiple slats, usually divided into horizontal and vertical slats. Venetian blinds are commonly used for shading, ventilation, and privacy protection both indoors and outdoors. Materials include wood, glass, and aluminum alloy. Due to their characteristics of being warm in winter and cool in summer, having a special appearance, being quick to install on-site, and saving visual window space, they are widely welcomed by consumers in the construction industry. There are many types of Venetian blinds on the market, but they still have some drawbacks.
[0003] Currently, the venetian blinds commonly found on the market are inconvenient to adjust the angle of the slats, have a complex structure, are prone to damage after prolonged use, have a high failure rate, are difficult to repair, and have a limited lifespan. In addition, the light transmittance of the venetian blind slats is fixed, and the fireproof, waterproof and corrosion-resistant performance of venetian blinds is not good enough. In order to address the above problems, an innovative design has been made on the basis of the original venetian blinds.
[0004] In the existing solution, when there is thunderstorm or heavy rain, rainwater will fall at an angle and splash onto the blinds and glass clips, accumulating a large amount of rainwater. This rainwater cannot be drained in time, and some rainwater will seep into the inside of the blinds through the gap between the glass clips and the window frame, resulting in unsatisfactory waterproofing. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a louver with waterproof and drainage effects to address the shortcomings of existing technologies.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0013] Furthermore: the shape of the connecting block is adapted to the shape of the connecting groove, the connecting groove is equipped with a connecting rod, and the connecting block is formed with a connecting hole for connecting the connecting rod.
[0014] Furthermore: the linkage drive mechanism includes a drive seat mounted on the outside of the mounting base. The drive seat is movably connected to the mounting base. When the drive seat rotates, the mounting base rotates synchronously at the same angle.
[0015] Furthermore: the drive seat is connected to a first guide bar, which is arranged along the length of the window frame and movably connected to the drive seat in sequence. The first guide bar moves along the length of the window frame to drive all drive seats to rotate simultaneously.

[0036] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037] As shown in the figure, the louver with waterproof and drainage effect includes a window frame 1 and a plurality of glass clips 2 that can be rotatably installed on the window frame 1. The window frame 1 is formed with a mounting surface 11, and the mounting surface 11 is formed with a recessed first drainage groove 12 along the length direction. The glass clips 2 are formed with a fitting surface 23 that mates with the mounting surface 11 of the window frame 1. The fitting surface 23 is formed with a recessed second drainage groove 24 along the length direction. Rainwater can be guided and flowed between the first drainage groove 12 and the second drainage groove.
[0038] The glass clip 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting surface 11 of the window frame 1 via the mating surface 23. The glass clip 2 can rotate to change its angle for easy adjustment. The window frame 1 and the glass clip 2 are respectively provided with corresponding first drainage groove 12 and second drainage groove 24, which allows the rainwater and pressure sealed between the glass clip 2 and the window frame 1 to be drained and depressurized multiple times. The water flows downward along the guide between the first drainage groove 12 and the second drainage groove 24, preventing the accumulation of water and wind pressure in the glass clip 2, further reducing the risk of rainwater entering the room, thereby achieving the function of waterproofing.
[0039] There are two or more first drainage channels 12, and they are arranged along the length of the mounting surface 11 of the window frame 1. When there is a rainstorm and the rainwater flows too fast, if the first drainage channel 12 cannot guide the water in time, it will enter the second drainage channel 12 and guide the water flow to the designed position through the second drainage channel 12.
[0040] Similarly, the glass clamp 2 includes a first clamping strip 21 and a second clamping strip 22. The back of the first clamping strip 21 and the second clamping strip 22 are formed with an arc-shaped bonding surface 23, and the second drainage channel 24 is arranged along the length of the bonding surface 23. When there is heavy rain and the rainwater flow is too rapid, if the first second drainage channel 24 cannot guide the water in time, it will enter the second second drainage channel 24, and the water flow will be guided to the designed position through the second second drainage channel 24.
[0041] Specifically, there are two window frames 1, which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. There are multiple glass clips 2, which are arranged at equal intervals along the length of the window frame 1. The glass clips 2 are used to install louvers 28. Specifically, the first clip 21 and the second clip 22 of the glass clip 2 are arranged at intervals to form an installation groove 27. The louvers 28 are fitted and installed through the installation groove 27 to prevent the louvers 28 from falling off the glass clip 2, thereby achieving the effects of rainproof, sunproof and windproof.
[0042] Two adjacent glass clips 2 are equidistantly arranged on the window frame 1. When the glass clips 2 are rotated to be parallel to the window frame 1, the two adjacent glass clips 2 are vertically aligned with each other. When the two adjacent glass clips 2 are vertically aligned with each other, the second drainage channels 24 of the two adjacent first clips 21 will be connected, and the second drainage channels 24 of the two adjacent second clips 22 will be connected, so that rainwater can be guided to flow along the length of the glass clips 2. The rainwater will not enter the inside of the glass clips 2 or enter the room. The accumulated rainwater can be quickly guided to flow downwards and discharged.
[0043] Preferably, when the glass clip 2 is rotated to be parallel to the window frame 1, the two ends of the second drainage groove 24 of the first clip 21 are vertically aligned with one of the first drainage grooves 12; the two ends of the second drainage groove 24 of the second clip 22 are vertically aligned with the other first drainage groove 12. When rainwater encounters an obstruction while flowing through the first drainage groove 12, the rainwater can enter the second drainage groove 24 to continue its flow. When it reaches the end of the second drainage groove 24, it can continue to flow into the second drainage groove 24 of the next glass clip 2. Since the two ends of the second drainage groove 24 are vertically aligned with the first drainage groove 12, rainwater can also enter the first drainage groove 12. This increases the flow area of rainwater, resulting in better drainage.
[0044] Specifically, a rotating structure 13 is provided between the window frame 1 and the glass clamp 2. The rotating structure 13 includes a mounting base 15 that is rotatably mounted on the window frame 1. The glass clamp 2 is provided with a connecting base 25 that is connected to the mounting base 15. When the mounting base 15 rotates, it connects to the glass clamp 2 through the mounting base 15, so that the glass clamp 2 can rotate accordingly to change the tilt angle of the louver 28.
[0045] Furthermore, the window frame 1 is formed with a rotating hole 14, and the mounting base 15 is rotatably mounted in the rotating hole 14. The mounting base 15 is formed with a recessed connecting groove 16, and the connecting base 25 is formed with an outwardly protruding connecting block 26 that can be inserted into the connecting groove 16. The mounting base 15 is engaged and connected with the connecting block 26 of the glass clamp 2 through the connecting groove 16 to achieve synchronous rotation.
[0046] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the connecting groove 16 is rectangular, and the cross-sectional shape of the connecting block 26 is rectangular. The cross-sectional shape of the connecting groove 16 and the cross-sectional shape of the connecting block 26 are adapted to each other, so that the connecting block 26 can be embedded into the connecting groove 16 to achieve a fitting connection.
[0047] Preferably, the connecting groove 16 is equipped with a connecting rod 17, and the connecting block 26 is formed with a connecting hole 18 for connecting the connecting rod 17. After the connecting block 26 is embedded into the connecting groove 16, it is further connected by the connecting rod 17 being embedded into the connecting hole 18, thus preventing the connecting block 26 from falling out of the connecting groove 16 and further improving the stability of the connection.
[0048] One of the window frames 1 is also equipped with a linkage drive mechanism 3 that drives the louvers to open or close. The linkage drive mechanism 3 can also drive all the mounting bases 15 to rotate synchronously at the same time.
[0049] The linkage drive mechanism 3 includes a drive seat 31 installed on the outside of the mounting base 15. The drive seat 31 is movably connected to the mounting base 15. When the drive seat 31 rotates, the mounting base 15 rotates synchronously at the same angle, so that the glass clip 2 connected to the mounting base 15 can rotate synchronously, and the tilt angle of the louver 28 can be adjusted to open or close the window.
[0050] Specifically, the drive seat 31 is connected to a first guide bar 32. The first guide bar 32 is arranged along the length of the window frame 1 and is movably connected to the drive seat 31. The first guide bar 32 moves along the length of the window frame 1 to drive all the drive seats 31 to rotate simultaneously. When the first guide bar 32 moves, since the first guide bar 32 is connected to all the drive seats 31, it can drive all the drive seats 31 to rotate simultaneously, thereby realizing the linkage opening and closing of all the louvers 28.
[0051] Preferably, the drive seat 31 is connected to a second guide bar 33, which is arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the first guide bar 32. Both the second guide bar 33 and the first guide bar 32 are located between the drive seat 31 and the mounting seat 15. A connecting shaft 34 connects the drive seat 31 and the mounting seat 15. The first guide bar 32 and the second guide bar 33 are respectively formed with movable holes 35, which are movably sleeved on the corresponding connecting shaft 34 through the movable holes 35. When the first guide bar 32 moves along the length direction of the window frame 1, since the second guide bar 33 is also movably connected to the drive seat 31, the second guide bar 33 moves in the opposite direction at the same time, thereby driving the drive seat 31 and the mounting seat 15 to rotate at the same time, so as to realize the linkage opening and closing of all the louvers 28.
[0052] Preferably, there are two connecting shafts 34, which are rotatably connected between the drive seat 31 and the mounting seat 15 respectively. The included angle between the two connecting shafts 34 is 180°. When the first guide bar 32 moves along the length of the window frame 1, since the second guide bar 33 is also movably connected to the drive seat 31, the second guide bar 33 moves in the opposite direction at the same time. At the same time, the distance between the two connecting shafts 34 changes, and correspondingly, the distance between the two first guide bars 32 and the second guide bar 33 changes.
[0053] The linkage drive mechanism 3 also includes a first swing arm 36 that can be swingably mounted on the first guide bar 32 and a second swing arm 37 that can be swingably mounted on the second guide bar 33. The driven end of the second swing arm 37 is rotatably connected to the first swing arm 36, causing the second swing arm 37 to swing. At the same time, the driven end of the second swing arm 37 causes the first swing arm 36 to swing, so that the first guide bar 32 moves along the length direction of the window frame 1, while the second guide bar 33 moves in the opposite direction. This can drive all the drive seats 31 to rotate at the same time, thereby realizing the linkage opening and closing of all the louvers 28.
[0054] Preferably, the window frame 1 is formed with a drive window 41 for the second swing arm 37 to extend outward. The first guide bar 32 is equipped with a first rotating shaft 38 connected to the first swing arm 36, and the second guide bar 33 is equipped with a second rotating shaft 39 connected to the second swing arm 37. The inner end of the second swing arm 37 is equipped with a third rotating shaft 40 rotatably connected to the first swing arm 36. When it is necessary to control the opening and closing of the louver, the second swing arm 37 passing through the drive window 41 can be moved to make it swing. At the same time, the first swing arm 36 is connected to the driven end of the second swing arm 37 through the third connecting shaft 34, so that the first swing arm 36 swings at the same time, thereby driving the first guide bar 32 and the second guide bar 33 to move relative to each other. The drive seat 31 can rotate. Since the first guide bar 32 and the second guide bar 33 are connected to all drive seats 31, all mounting seats 15 rotate at the same time to adjust the opening or closing of the louver.
[0055] In summary, the present invention possesses the excellent characteristics described above, which enhances its effectiveness in use compared to previous technologies, making it a highly practical product.
[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the ideas of the present invention. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
