TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a capacity expansion reconstruction method of a convex window, and belongs to the technical field of building window energy-saving reconstruction. BACKGROUND
[0002] The convex window is a common window form, is generally arranged at a height of about 450 mm from the ground, and protrudes outward by about 600 mm. The space layer height of the part of the protruding outer envelope wall is generally less than 2200 mm, and therefore is not counted into the building area, so the convex window is widely applied in existing buildings. Due to the operation space, the convex window is small and the indoor area is limited in the existing buildings. Therefore, when living in the existing buildings, the following problems are prone to occur: articles are randomly stacked in the room; the indoor air is too humid due to drying, and the air is humid and stagnant, so that the health and comfort requirements for long-term living cannot be met. SUMMARY
[0003] Therefore, the application provides a capacity expansion reconstruction method of a convex window, which can realize capacity expansion of the convex window without changing the existing building, meet the drying and storage requirements, facilitate space classification and utilization, ensure indoor dryness and tidiness, and avoid the influence of humidity on the indoor space.
[0004] Specifically, the application is realized through the following scheme. A capacity expansion reconstruction method of a convex window comprises the following steps. Step 1: measuring the size of the hole at the outer wall of the existing convex window and the size of the lower horizontal frame of the openable window, and precasting a sliding window according to the size; Step 2: installing the sliding window in the hole at the inner side of the outer wall of the existing convex window, and sealing; Step 3: installing a supporting plate on the outer side of the sliding window through a connecting piece, installing a hook on the outer side of the top plate of the existing convex window, connecting the hook with the supporting plate, and installing a hanging piece on the top plate of the existing convex window.
[0005] Further, as a preferred, In step 1, The size includes height, length, and depth (the hole is the depth, and the lower horizontal frame of the openable window can be understood as the width).
[0006] The sliding window comprises a middle horizontal frame, and the middle horizontal frame is 60-100 mm higher than the lower horizontal frame of the openable window.
[0007] The push-pull window comprises an upper push-pull window and a lower push-pull window, and both the upper push-pull window and the lower push-pull window adopt double-layer hollow transparent glass. More preferably, the push-pull window is a day-shaped push-pull window, which is divided into an upper part and a lower part, the upper part is the upper push-pull window, and the lower part is the lower push-pull window. The surface of the upper push-pull window close to the indoor side is frosted, the upper push-pull window is closed when drying clothes, which not only shields the clothes and stored articles, making the indoor environment clean, but also does not affect the entry of diffuse light, and the lower push-pull window is transparent glass, which can meet the basic indoor brightness requirement.
[0008] The push-pull window is an aluminum alloy push-pull window.
[0009] In step two, The sealing is performed by using a sealing glue.
[0010] In step three, The connecting piece is fixed to the middle horizontal frame of the push-pull window. More preferably, the connecting piece is a U-shaped connecting piece. The connecting piece is fixed to the middle horizontal frame of the push-pull window by using a screw or an adhesive.
[0011] The depth of the supporting plate is 400-600 mm, the thickness is 3-5 mm, and the width is adapted to the existing bay window.
[0012] The distance between the supporting plate and the existing bay window is 10-20 mm, and the supporting plate is arranged at a horizontal position 60-100 mm above the lower horizontal frame of the openable window.
[0013] A plurality of supporting plates are arranged, and each supporting plate corresponds to two connecting pieces. The arrangement can be performed according to the width of the existing bay window. More preferably, the length of each supporting plate is 60-100 mm, air can flow when the openable fan of the existing bay window is opened, the moisture generated by drying clothes is basically isolated by the supporting plate, and the moisture is evaporated as soon as possible by wind.
[0014] A hook is arranged on the supporting plate, and the hook is connected to the hook by a rope. More preferably, the hook is a punch-free hook, which is pasted on the outer side of the supporting plate by using an adhesive.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this application are: 1) The structure is simple. Except for the sliding window which requires professional customization and installation, all other parts are commercially available and can be installed or disassembled by oneself, which is very convenient.
[0021] 2) By dividing the existing bay window space into two parts, upper and lower, using support plates and trays, the upper space for drying clothes is isolated from the lower space for lighting and ventilation. The frosted glass of the upper sliding window not only isolates messy clothes, storage boxes, etc. from the interior, but also does not affect the diffused light entering the interior, thus making the room look tidy and improving the comfort of living.
[0022] 3) The newly added sliding windows can effectively isolate the moisture generated by drying clothes, which is beneficial to the health of the residents. At the same time, there are gaps at the junction of the support plate, tray and bay window. When drying clothes, the upper sliding window is closed and the lower sliding window is opened, which can isolate moisture without affecting air circulation, while ensuring basic lighting needs.

[0034] Combination Figure 1 There is an existing bay window 1 installed in the opening 13 at the outer wall A, and an operable window 11 is installed therein. The part of the existing bay window 1 that protrudes outward is the windowsill 12.
[0035] This embodiment provides a method for expanding and modifying existing bay windows. The following is a combination of... Figures 2 to 6 This describes an embodiment of the present application.
[0036] Step 1: Measure the size of the opening 13 at the exterior wall side of the existing bay window 1 and the height from the lower horizontal frame 111 of the operable sash 11 to the window sill 12. Prefabricate the aluminum alloy sliding window 2 according to the measured dimensions above, and combine Figure 2 、 Figure 3 , the sliding window 2 can specifically adopt a 'day' shape, divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part is the upper sliding window 21, the lower part is the lower sliding window 23, and the middle is the middle horizontal frame 22. The middle horizontal frame 21 is about 100 mm higher than the lower horizontal frame 111. The surface of the upper sliding window 21 on the indoor side is treated with frosting. When drying clothes, the upper sliding window is closed, which not only blocks the clothes and stored items, making the interior look tidy, but also does not affect the entry of diffused light. Both the upper sliding window 21 and the lower sliding window 23 adopt double-layer hollow transparent glass of 6mm + 12A + 6mm, which can meet the basic indoor brightness requirements.
[0037] Step 2: Install and fix the sliding window 2 in the opening 13 on the inner side of the exterior wall A, and make the sliding window 2 fixed inside the existing bay window 1 and close to the inner edge of the exterior wall A. Seal all the joints around the sliding window 2 with sealant.
[0038] Step 3: Adopt a plastic support plate 3. The depth of the support plate 3 is controlled according to the actual size of the existing bay window 1, about 600 mm in depth, 5 mm in thickness, and the width is selected according to the actual size of the existing bay window 1. Several support plates can be matched, and each support plate is generally not more than 900 mm. At both outer ends of the support plate 3, paste and fix a hook 31 without drilling holes with special glue respectively.
[0039] Step 4: The connecting piece 4 adopts a stainless steel U-shaped connecting piece. Fix the connecting piece 4 on the outdoor side of the middle horizontal frame 22 with screws or special glue. Two connecting pieces 4 correspond to the inner side of each support plate 3. Fix several hanging hooks 5 with expansion screws at the outer part of the top plate 14 of the existing bay window 1. The positions of the hanging hooks 5 correspond to the positions of the hooks 31.
[0040] Step 5: Insert one side of the support plate 3 into the connecting piece 4, and connect the hook 31 on the other side and the hanging hook 5 with a rope 6 to achieve the horizontal suspension installation of the support plate 3, and ensure that the gap between the support plate 3 and the glass of the existing bay window 1 is about 20 mm. Its level is about 80 mm higher than the lower horizontal frame 111. When the operable window 11 and the lower sliding window 23 are opened, air can circulate. At the same time, the moisture generated by drying clothes is basically isolated by the support plate 3 and the tray 8. With the assistance of a fan or natural wind, the moisture can be evaporated as soon as possible.
[0041] Step 6: Fix the hanging member 7 (such as a clothes hanger, etc.) with expansion screws at the central position of the top plate 14 along the length direction.
[0042] In the above solution: The surface of the support plate 3 can be perforated to ensure a certain rigidity while reducing its own weight.
[0043] Several trays 8 can be placed on the support plate 3. The trays 8 are made of plastic and are the same size as the support plate 3. They can catch dripping water from clothes drying, or place daily necessities or storage boxes.
[0044] The movable connection between the aforementioned support plate 3 and the sliding window 2 and the existing bay window 1 is simple and can be easily removed, making the space on the windowsill 12 flexible and adaptable to meet various user needs.
[0045] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several feasible implementations of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention, nor are the embodiments intended to limit the scope of protection in the claims of the present invention.
