Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of building materials technology, and specifically relates to an aluminum profile window frame. Background Technology

[0002] Nowadays, users have increasingly customized demands for building materials such as windows. For example, depending on the surrounding environment, the requirements for sound insulation and heat insulation of windows vary, leading to the use of double-glazed windows, triple-wave double-cavity windows, etc. The thickness of different glass components also varies, requiring window frames to be designed to meet these specific needs. Since window frames are generally made of extruded aluminum profiles, this increases the mold-making costs for manufacturers, thereby raising the overall cost of the window frames. Furthermore, in existing technologies, window frames are difficult to disassemble after installation, requiring specialized tools. When the glass breaks, this results in high repair costs, further increasing the overall operating cost. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this invention is to provide an aluminum profile window frame that can adapt to different glass thicknesses, thereby improving versatility and reducing production costs.

[0004] To achieve the above and other related objectives, the present invention provides an aluminum profile window frame, comprising:

[0005] The first profile has a first snap-fit ​​portion on its first side and a first limiting portion extending toward the center of the window frame.

[0006] The second profile has a second snap-fit ​​portion on its second side;

[0007] A heat insulation component, wherein the first snap-fit ​​portion and the second snap-fit ​​portion are respectively connected to both sides of the heat insulation component, and a heat insulation layer is formed between the first profile and the second profile;

[0008] A limiting component is movably connected to the second profile in a direction perpendicular to the window surface, and a limiting groove for receiving the glass component is formed between the limiting component and the first limiting part.

[0009] A locking mechanism is provided between the limiting component and the second profile. The locking mechanism is configured to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking mechanism is in the locked state, it prevents the limiting component from moving away from the glass component. When the locking mechanism is in the unlocked state, the limiting component can move away from the glass component.

[0010] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the limiting component includes a slide and a pressure strip. The slide is movably connected to the second profile, and the pressure strip is detachably connected to the slide. The pressure strip is parallel to and opposite to the first limiting portion for clamping the glass assembly.

[0011] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the second profile is provided with an insert, the insert is fixedly connected to the second profile, the slide is slidably connected to the insert, and the locking mechanism is disposed between the slide and the insert.

[0012] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the insert is provided with a groove for the slide block to slide in, and the locking mechanism includes a movable tooth and a rack. The movable tooth is movably connected to the slide block so that the movable tooth can protrude out of the outer side wall of the slide block or retract into the inner side wall of the slide block; the rack is disposed on the side wall of the groove.

[0013] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the slide is provided with an elastic element and a driving mechanism. The elastic element is configured such that its elastic force can drive the movable tooth to protrude out of the side wall of the slide. The driving mechanism is configured such that when it is subjected to an external force, it can drive the movable tooth to retract into the side wall of the slide.

[0014] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the two movable teeth are respectively placed on both sides of the slide, the movable teeth are hinged to the slide, and the elastic element includes a V-shaped leaf spring, the two ends of the V-shaped leaf spring being respectively connected to the two movable teeth.

[0015] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the driving mechanism includes a sliding bracket, which is slidably connected to the slide block in a direction perpendicular to the window surface. The middle part of the V-shaped leaf spring is mounted on the sliding bracket, and the slide block is provided with two stop pins, which are respectively located on the outer sides of the two straight walls of the V-shaped leaf spring. When the sliding bracket drives the middle part of the V-shaped leaf spring to move closer to the window surface, the two straight walls of the V-shaped leaf spring can retract towards each other under the obstruction of the two stop pins, so as to drive the two movable teeth to retract to the inner side of the slide block sidewall.

[0016] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the sliding bracket is connected to a pressing part that is easy for a person to press, and a compression spring is provided between the sliding bracket and the slide base. The compression spring is configured such that its elastic force can drive the sliding bracket to move away from the window surface.

[0017] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the slide block is provided with a limiting protrusion, and the pressure strip is provided with a groove that cooperates with the limiting protrusion. The groove is arranged along the length direction of the pressure strip so that the pressure strip can slide relative to the slide block along its own length direction.

[0018] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, an outer trim panel is further included, one side of which is engaged with the second profile and the other side is engaged with the pressure strip, and the limiting component is concealed inside the outer trim panel.

[0019] The technical advantages of this invention are as follows: the limiting component of this invention can move in a direction perpendicular to the window surface, so the width of the limiting groove is adjustable to adapt to the thickness of different glass components; this invention also provides a locking mechanism, which can keep the limiting component in the clamped position after the limiting component clamps the glass component, so as to achieve constraint on the glass component.

[0030] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features described therein can be combined with each other.

[0031] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the illustrations only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-10 As shown, the aluminum profile window frame provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes a first profile 10, a second profile 20, a thermal insulation component 30, a limiting component, and a locking mechanism.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, the first profile 10 has a first snap-fit ​​portion 11 on its first side and a first limiting portion 12 extending towards the center of the window frame; the second profile 20 has a second snap-fit ​​portion 21 on its second side; the thermal insulation component 30 is connected to the first snap-fit ​​portion 11 and the second snap-fit ​​portion 21 on both sides, forming a thermal insulation layer between the first profile 10 and the second profile 20. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings of this invention only show a partial cross-sectional structure of the window frame. The actual structure of the window frame should be a rectangular frame with the cross-section shown in the figure. The first profile 10, the second profile 20, and the thermal insulation component 30 form the main structure of the window frame, also known as a thermally broken aluminum window frame.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, the limiting component is movably connected to the second profile 20 in a direction perpendicular to the window surface (i.e., the surface of the glass assembly), and a limiting groove for receiving the glass assembly 80 is formed between the limiting component and the first limiting part 12. It should be understood that since the limiting component can move in a direction perpendicular to the window surface, the width of the limiting groove is adjustable to accommodate different thicknesses of the glass assembly 80.

[0035] Please see Figure 4-10As shown, a locking mechanism is provided between the limiting component and the second profile 20. The locking mechanism is configured to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking mechanism is in the locked state, it prevents the limiting component from moving away from the glass component 80. When the locking mechanism is in the unlocked state, the limiting component can move away from the glass component 80. It should be understood that since the limiting component in this invention is movable, a locking mechanism is also provided to effectively limit the glass component 80. The locking mechanism can hold the limiting component in the clamped position after the limiting component clamps the glass component 80, thereby constraining the glass component 80.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the limiting component includes a slide 40 and a pressure strip 50. The slide 40 is movably connected to the second profile 20, and the pressure strip 50 is detachably connected to the slide 40. The pressure strip 50 is parallel to and opposite to the first limiting part 12 for clamping the glass assembly 80. In practical applications, the pressure strip 50 can be cut to different lengths according to the length and width dimensions of the window frame, and multiple slides 40 can be spaced apart along each side of the window frame. One pressure strip 50 can be combined with different numbers of slides 40.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 4, 6, 7, and 9, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the second profile 20 is provided with an insert 60, the insert 60 is fixedly connected to the second profile 20, the slide block 40 is slidably connected to the insert 60, and the locking mechanism is disposed between the slide block 40 and the insert 60. It should be understood that both the first profile 10 and the second profile 20 are extruded aluminum profiles, making it inconvenient to process complex shapes on them. Therefore, the present invention provides an insert 60 on the second profile 20. The insert 60 can be metal or non-metal. The complex shape required by the locking mechanism can be processed on the insert 60, and then the insert 60 is installed in a slot provided on the second profile 20. The slot can be formed by stamping. The above structure reduces manufacturing costs while ensuring the function of the locking mechanism.

[0038] Please see Figure 6 , 9As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the insert 60 is provided with a groove for the slide block 40 to slide in. The locking mechanism includes a movable tooth 41 and a rack 61. The movable tooth 41 is movably connected to the slide block 40 so that the movable tooth 41 can protrude out of the outer side wall of the slide block 40 or retract into the inner side wall of the slide block 40. The rack 61 is disposed on the side wall of the groove. When the movable tooth 41 engages with the rack 61, it can prevent the slide block 40 from moving away from the window surface. When the movable tooth 41 is separated from the rack 61, the slide block 40 can slide freely in the groove.

[0039] Please see Figure 5 , 6 As shown in Figure 10, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the slide 40 is provided with an elastic element and a driving mechanism. The elastic element is configured such that its elastic force can drive the movable tooth 41 to protrude from the outer side of the side wall of the slide 40; the driving mechanism is configured such that when it is subjected to an external force, it can drive the movable tooth 41 to retract into the inner side of the side wall of the slide 40. Figure 6 It can be seen that even in the locked state, the locking mechanism provided by the present invention only restricts the unidirectional movement of the slide 40. That is, even in the locked state, the operator can still push the slide 40 toward the window surface to clamp the glass assembly 80.

[0040] Please see Figure 6 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the two movable teeth 41 are respectively placed on both sides of the slide 40, and the movable teeth 41 are hinged to the slide 40. The elastic element includes a V-shaped leaf spring 42, and the two ends of the V-shaped leaf spring 42 are respectively connected to the two movable teeth 41. When the operator pushes the slide 40 towards the window, the movable teeth 41 can automatically pop out from the tooth groove of the rack 61. When the slide 40 stops moving, the movable teeth 41 can spring back into the tooth groove under the elastic force of the V-shaped leaf spring 42 to prevent the slide 40 from moving away from the window.

[0041] Please see Figure 5 , 6As shown in Figure 10, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the driving mechanism includes a sliding bracket 43, which is slidably connected to the slide block 40 in a direction perpendicular to the window surface. The middle part of the V-shaped leaf spring 42 is mounted on the sliding bracket 43. The slide block 40 is provided with two stop pins 46, which are respectively located on the outer sides of the two straight walls of the V-shaped leaf spring 42. When the sliding bracket 43 drives the middle part of the V-shaped leaf spring 42 to move closer to the window surface, the two straight walls of the V-shaped leaf spring 42 can retract towards each other under the obstruction of the two stop pins 46, thereby driving the two movable teeth 41 to retract to the inner side of the side wall of the slide block 40. The sliding bracket 43 is connected to a pressing part 44 that is easy for a person to press. A compression spring 45 is provided between the sliding bracket 43 and the slide block 40. The compression spring 45 is configured such that its elastic force can drive the sliding bracket 43 to move away from the window surface.

[0042] When the operator needs to disassemble the glass assembly 80, they only need to push the pressing part 44 with their fingers to move it closer to the window surface. At this time, the sliding bracket 43 drives the V-shaped leaf spring 42 to move. The two ends of the V-shaped leaf spring 42 retract, thereby causing the movable tooth 41 to disengage from the rack 61. Then, the slide block 40 is pulled out of the slide groove as a whole. At this time, the glass assembly 80 can be disassembled. The whole process does not require any tools and is simple and convenient to operate.

[0043] Please see Figure 5 As shown, to further facilitate operation, a protrusion that facilitates finger exertion can be provided on the slide 40. The operator can easily remove the slide 40 by simply pinching the squeezing part 44 and the protrusion.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 10, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the slide block 40 is provided with a limiting protrusion 401, and the pressure strip 50 is provided with a groove 51 that cooperates with the limiting protrusion 401. The groove 51 is arranged along the length direction of the pressure strip 50 so that the pressure strip 50 can slide relative to the slide block 40 along its own length direction. This facilitates the reasonable allocation of the installation position of the slide block 40 according to the side length of the window frame.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 4, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, an outer trim panel 70 is further included. One side of the outer trim panel 70 is engaged with the second profile 20, and the other side is engaged with the pressure strip 50. The limiting component is concealed inside the outer trim panel 70. The outer trim panel 70 can be a profile with a certain degree of elasticity. When the thickness of the glass assembly 80 does not change significantly, the outer trim panel 70 can adapt to the position of different pressure strips 50 by deformation. When the thickness of the glass assembly 80 changes significantly, only the outer trim panel 70 of different specifications needs to be replaced. Compared with the prior art of replacing the entire module, this still saves a lot of manufacturing costs.

[0046] In summary, the limiting component of the present invention can move in a direction perpendicular to the window surface, thus the width of the limiting groove is adjustable to accommodate different thicknesses of the glass components 80. The present invention also includes a locking mechanism that can hold the limiting component in the clamped position after clamping the glass component 80, thereby constraining the glass component 80. The window frame of the present invention does not require any tools when disassembling the glass component 80, making the operation simple and convenient and reducing maintenance costs.
