A pressure relief channel is set in the cavity so that rainwater can be discharged through the pressure relief channel to prevent it from seeping into the room.
It achieves adaptive sealing of the glass blades when closed, effectively preventing rainwater leakage and improving the sealing performance and service life of the louvers.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of blinds, and more particularly to waterproof glass clips and waterproof blinds. Background Technology
[0002] Venetian blinds, a common type of window, are widely used due to their excellent ventilation and light-adjusting capabilities. Venetian blinds made of glass slats retain the sun-shading and light-adjusting functions of traditional blinds while providing visibility and thermal insulation similar to fixed glass windows when closed. Therefore, they are particularly common in modern architecture, especially in sunrooms, balconies, and public spaces requiring natural light. These blinds typically use specialized glass clips to hold multiple glass slats along their edges, connecting them to a transmission mechanism to achieve synchronized flipping and retraction of the slats.
[0003] However, existing glass clamps have certain limitations in structural design, including the following problems: 1. The connection between existing glass clamps and glass blades is usually fixed. For demolding purposes, the distance between the two clamps increases as the clamp body extends outward. This prevents the angle of the glass blades from being adaptively adjusted according to usage requirements. Especially after multiple opening and closing operations, the accumulation of small displacements in the transmission mechanism or the glass clamp itself can easily cause adjacent glass blades to not be fully aligned when closed, resulting in gaps. This not only affects the overall aesthetics but, more importantly, compromises the airtightness of the blinds. 2. Existing glass clamp designs primarily focus on clamping stability and static sealing, neglecting the waterproofing requirements under dynamic water pressure. When the blinds are closed during heavy rain or other severe weather, a large amount of rainwater can accumulate in the water accumulation area of the outer glass clamp. Under continuous water pressure, or even wind pressure, rainwater can seep into the room through the tiny gaps between the glass clamp and the glass, or through structural gaps in the glass clamp itself, causing water damage to the interior walls or floors. This seriously affects the user experience and the building's lifespan. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Purpose of the invention: The purpose of this invention is to provide a waterproof glass clip and a waterproof louver with good waterproof function.
[0005] Technical solution: The outer side described in this invention refers to the exterior of the waterproof glass clip; the inner side described in this invention refers to the interior of the waterproof glass clip.
[0006] The waterproof glass clamp of this invention includes a base, with an elastic first clamp and an elastic second clamp respectively disposed on opposite sides of the base. The first and second clamps have an inward elastic force in their natural state. The distance between the first and second clamps gradually decreases in the outward direction. The base, the first clamp, and the second clamp form a receiving cavity for accommodating glass. Several support protrusions are disposed within the receiving cavity to abut against one end of the glass. These support protrusions divide the receiving cavity into at least one pressure relief channel. The pressure relief channel guides accumulated rainwater to the opening, preventing excessive local water pressure from causing seepage into the interior.
[0007] Furthermore, the angle formed by the surface of the first clamp relative to the second clamp and the surface of the second clamp relative to the first clamp is 2° to 10°.
[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the support protrusion is connected to the base.
[0009] Furthermore, the bearing protrusion is connected to the inner wall of the first clamping body, or the bearing protrusion is connected to the inner wall of the second clamping body, or the two side walls of the bearing protrusion are respectively connected to the inner walls of the first clamping body and the inner walls of the second clamping body.
[0010] Furthermore, one end of the first clamping body protrudes from one end of the second clamping body. One end of the first clamping body is provided with a first engaging groove, and the other end of the first clamping body is provided with a first engaging protrusion. The first engaging groove is used to engage with the first engaging protrusion of the adjacent glass clamping body to form a closed surface when the blinds are closed.
[0011] Furthermore, the other end of the second clamping body protrudes beyond the other end of the first clamping body. One end of the second clamping body is provided with a second engaging protrusion, and the other end of the second clamping body is provided with a second engaging groove. The second engaging groove is used to engage with the second engaging protrusion of the adjacent glass clamp to form a closed surface when the blinds are closed.
[0012] Furthermore, a first baffle is provided at one end of the first clamping body, and a second baffle is provided at the other end of the second clamping body.
[0013] Furthermore, a first outer support block is provided on the outside of the first clamping body, and several reinforcing ribs are provided between the first clamping body and the first outer support block.
[0014] Furthermore, a second outer support block is provided on the outside of the second clamping body, and several reinforcing ribs are provided between the second clamping body and the second outer support block.
[0015] Furthermore, a rotating seat is provided at the bottom of the base. When the rotating seat rotates, it drives the base, the first clamp, and the second clamp to rotate, thereby causing the glass to open or close.
[0016] A waterproof louver includes a frame, which includes a left frame rotatably connected to a plurality of waterproof glass clips. The clamping end of each waterproof glass clip is detachably connected to glass. A first pull rod is slidably disposed within the left frame, and the first pull rod is rotatably connected to the plurality of waterproof glass clips. A plurality of switch handles are rotatably disposed within the left frame, and the switch handles are rotatably connected to the first pull rod. When the first pull rod slides within the left frame, it drives the waterproof glass clips to rotate.
[0017] Furthermore, a second pull rod is slidably disposed within the left frame, and the second pull rod is rotatably connected to several waterproof glass clamps. When the second pull rod slides within the left frame, it drives the waterproof glass clamps to rotate.
[0018] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages: 1. The distance between the first clamp and the second clamp gradually decreases along the outward direction. After clamping the glass, the glass can swing to a certain extent with the clamping contact surface between the first clamp or the second clamp and the glass as the axis. After the blinds are closed, the adjacent glass blades can swing adaptively according to the contact situation, so that several pieces of glass form a closed surface to prevent rainwater from entering the room; 2. The cavity is provided with a support protrusion for abutting against the end of the glass. After clamping the glass, the glass cannot close the top surface of the base, so a pressure relief channel for draining rainwater is formed in the cavity. After the blinds are closed, even in severe weather such as heavy rain, rainwater can be discharged downward through the pressure relief channel to prevent local accumulation of rainwater and thus prevent rainwater from seeping into the room.
