Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of door and window system technology, and in particular to a window frame structure and a glass spacer assembly for insulated glass. Background Technology

[0002] In the assembly structure of window frames and insulated glass, the glass pad assembly undertakes multiple functions, including positioning, load-bearing, buffering, and adapting to thermal displacement. In current mainstream technologies, insulated glass is usually installed using a "three-point support" method: two (or consecutive) load-bearing pads are set at the bottom to provide vertical support and control the height of the lower edge of the glass; several elastic limiting pads are arranged on both sides to restrain the lateral displacement of the glass, prevent swaying, and accommodate lateral micro-deformation caused by temperature changes.

[0003] To achieve the aforementioned differentiated functions, existing technologies generally adopt a functional separation design:

[0004] Bottom pad: The geometry is fixed (such as rectangular cross-section, flat bottom without adjustment structure). It only needs to meet the requirements of compressive strength, dimensional accuracy and stable fitting with the window frame bracket. No position adjustment is required after installation. Therefore, the structure is simple and no adjustment mechanism is needed.

[0005] Side pads: Due to the large tolerances in the inner cavity of the window frame mullion, the deviation in glass thickness, and the cumulative installation error, adjustable functions are often required. For example, by means of wedge structure, multi-level boss, compression allowance, or sliding buckle, the extension of the pads can be finely adjusted during installation to ensure that a uniform and stress-free contact gap is formed between the glass and the frame (usually required to be 0.5–2.0 mm).

[0006] Because the bottom pad is "rigidly positioned and requires no adjustment," while the side pad is "flexibly adaptable and relies on adjustment," the two have fundamental structural differences: side pads often integrate adjustment features such as guide ramps, elastic compression zones, or segmented protrusions, while the bottom pad prioritizes compact structure and load-bearing stability, omitting all adjustment elements. This strong functional-structural coupling directly results in the two not being able to share the same mold—two sets of high-precision injection molds (with different cavities, ejection systems, and cooling layouts) must be developed separately, significantly increasing mold opening costs, extending product development cycles, and increasing inventory management complexity.

[0007] The problem of "asymmetric adjustment of demand leading to non-universal molds" has become a major technical bottleneck for the standardization and cost reduction of door and window accessories. Summary of the Invention

[0008] This invention provides a window frame structure and an insulated glass assembly glass pad assembly. The assembly produced by one set of molds can be used to install the bottom and sides of the glass panel vertically.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0010] The window frame structure and the insulated glass assembly include a load-bearing plate, the bottom of which is a surface that contacts the aluminum alloy profile, the top of which is a load-bearing plane, and a groove in the middle of which has an inclined bottom.

[0011] Further technology of the present invention:

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the load-bearing plate is provided with a positioning buckle device that cooperates with the aluminum alloy profile.

[0013] Preferably, the load-bearing plane is provided with transverse grooves and longitudinal grooves, which intersect to form a grid groove, and the intersecting part is provided with through holes penetrating the load-bearing plate.

[0014] Preferably, the sidewall of the load-bearing plate is provided with a compressible spring.

[0015] Preferably, the inclined bottom of the groove includes multiple parallel tooth ridges and tooth grooves, which together form a complete tooth surface.

[0016] Preferably, the top of the tooth ridge and the opening of the tooth groove face the higher part of the bottom of the inclined groove.

[0017] Preferably, the bottom of the groove is provided with a sliding groove, the direction of which is perpendicular to the tooth edge and the tooth groove.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0019] The window frame structure and insulated glass assembly glass pad assembly provided by this invention have a wide range of applications. It can be used for installation at the bottom of glass panels, providing stable support; it can also be installed vertically on both sides of the glass panels to enhance the overall structural stability. Its load-bearing plane can accommodate a planar adjustment plate, effectively meeting the various load-bearing requirements of the glass panels. The groove is specifically designed to hold a wedge-shaped adjustment plate. When the wedge-shaped adjustment plate is pushed along the inclined bottom of the groove, it can precisely adjust the lateral gap in the vertical space of the glass panel installation, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the glass installation and improving the quality and efficiency of the window frame structure and insulated glass assembly.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0028] The present invention provides a window frame structure and a glass pad assembly for insulated glass, including a load-bearing plate 701. The bottom of the load-bearing plate 701 is a mounting surface 705 that contacts the aluminum alloy profile, and the top of the load-bearing plate 701 is a load-bearing plane. A groove 706 is provided in the middle of the load-bearing plane, and the bottom of the groove 706 is an inclined slope.

[0029] The load-bearing plane is provided with transverse grooves 707 and longitudinal grooves 708. The transverse grooves 707 and longitudinal grooves 708 intersect to form a grid groove, and the intersecting part is provided with a through hole 709 penetrating the load-bearing plate 701. The grid groove and the through hole 709 can reduce the amount of material used and increase the structural strength of the load-bearing plate 701.

[0030] The bottom of the load-bearing plate 701 is equipped with a positioning buckle device 704 that cooperates with the aluminum alloy profile. This ensures that the glass pad does not slip or become displaced after installation and adjustment, does not detach from the aluminum alloy profile, and can stably support the weight of the glass plate.

[0031] Furthermore, the side wall of the load-bearing plate 701 is provided with a compressible spring clip 710. The spring clip 710 has a certain compression range. When compressed, it is snapped into the aluminum alloy profile. When the spring clip 710 is released, it provides a lateral preload, and the clip restricts longitudinal displacement. The spring clip 710 restoration and positioning clip device 704 fixes the load-bearing plate 701 to the aluminum alloy profile. This double fixation ensures the stability of the component within the profile.

[0032] like Figure 5 This invention provides a schematic diagram of a window frame structure and an insulated glass assembly mounted on an aluminum alloy profile. By replacing the flat / wedge-shaped adjustment plate, the same assembly can simultaneously meet the requirements for bottom load-bearing and side adjustment, reducing mold development costs and inventory complexity.

[0033] like Figure 1-2 When installed at the bottom of a glass panel, a combination glass pad structure of a glass pad base plate and a 2 / 3mm flat adjustment plate 702 is used. This structure is used for load-bearing applications of glass panels.

[0034] 1. Installation steps:

[0035] Place the load-bearing plate flat in the aluminum alloy profile tray and fix it to the spring piece through the bottom positioning buckle device to ensure that there is no slippage or misalignment.

[0036] Place a 2-3mm flat adjustment plate (with toothed surfaces on both the top and bottom to increase friction) on the load-bearing plane to directly support the glass panel.

[0037] 2. Functionality Implementation:

[0038] The flat adjustment plate provides vertical load-bearing capacity, while the grid grooves and through holes distribute the glass load. The positioning buckles and springs ensure long-term stability and are suitable for bottom support of conventional glass panels.

[0039] like Figure 3-4 When installed vertically on both sides of a glass panel, a combination glass pad structure is used, consisting of a glass pad base plate and a wedge-shaped adjustment plate 703 (2-3mm adjustment range). This structure is used for applications where the gap between the glass panels (especially large ones) in the vertical space is precisely adjusted in the left and right directions.

[0040] Furthermore, the inclined groove bottom of the groove 706 includes a plurality of parallel toothed ridges 711 and toothed grooves 712, which together form a complete tooth surface. The top of the toothed ridges 711 and the opening of the toothed grooves 712 face the higher part of the inclined groove bottom.

[0041] Specifically, 1. Installation steps:

[0042] The load-bearing plate 701 is placed vertically on the aluminum alloy profile. After the spring is compressed, it returns to its original shape and, together with the positioning buckle, fixes the assembly. The wedge-shaped adjusting plate 703 is placed in the groove 706. The lower surface of the wedge-shaped adjusting plate 703 is toothed and can engage with the complete toothed surface formed by the toothed edge 711 and the toothed groove 712. The wedge-shaped adjusting plate 703 can be pushed, and it can move upward along the inclined bottom of the groove 706. During the upward movement, the gap in the left and right directions of the vertical space where the glass panel is installed is adjusted.

[0043] Furthermore, the inclined bottom of the groove 706 is provided with a sliding groove 713, the direction of which is perpendicular to the toothed edge 711 and the toothed groove 712. The lower surface of the wedge-shaped adjusting plate 703 is also provided with an integral slider, which is embedded in the sliding groove and moves along the sliding groove 713 to prevent the wedge-shaped adjusting plate 703 from deviating during the pushing process.

[0044] 2. Regulatory Mechanism:

[0045] Pushing the wedge-shaped adjustment plate along the inclined plane, the meshing of the tooth surface and the tooth edge restricts the retraction, and the slider moves in a straight line along the slide groove. The lateral clearance is finely adjusted by the displacement of the wedge structure, which adapts to the tolerance of the window frame and the deviation of the glass thickness, and avoids glass shaking or stress concentration.

Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
