[0035] The utility model provides a window that can be converted into a balcony for the renovation of an old residential area, which has a window state and a balcony state, such as Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown: the window includes a window frame 1, a frame 2, a support frame 3, a movable guardrail 4, and a tempered glass 5; wherein the window frame 1 is installed at the gap of the wall 6, the frame 2 is rotatably connected to the bottom edge of the window frame 1, the tempered glass 5 is placed in the frame of the frame 2, the support frame 3 is fixedly connected to the frame 2, and the movable guardrail 4 is hinged to the frame 2.

[0036] In the window state, the frame 2 is parallel to the window frame 1, the tempered glass 5 constitutes the window glass, the support frame 3 is located on the side of the frame 2 away from the wall 6, and the movable guardrail 4 is folded into a folded state. In the balcony state, the frame 2 is perpendicular to the window frame 1, the tempered glass 5 constitutes the glass floor of the balcony, the support frame 3 is supported by the wall 6, and the movable guardrail 4 is unfolded to form a fence.

[0037] During the conversion of the window between the window state and the balcony state, the frame 2 and the support frame 3 rotate synchronously, and the movable guardrail 4 is converted between the folding state and the fence state accordingly.

[0038] Preferably, the support frame 3 and the frame 2 are made of aluminum alloy profiles, which have high strength and light weight; the two are fixed by welding, which is firm and reliable.

[0039] Preferably, the movable guardrail 4 and the frame 2 are hinged in the form of a cylindrical pin and a hole, so as to ensure that no interference occurs when the movable guardrail 4 is folded.

[0040] Specifically, the support frame 3 is formed by welding support rods 32 between two parallel and opposite right-angle tripods 31. Among them, on the surface of the support frame 3 fixed to the frame 2, the support rods 32 are staggered horizontally and vertically to form a grid structure, and the grid structure supports the tempered glass 5. In the balcony state, this method strengthens the support for the tempered glass 5; in the window state, the grid-shaped support rods 32 play the role of an anti-theft net.

[0041] Preferably, the length of the long right-angle side of the right-angle tripod 31 constituting the support frame 3 is 4-6 times the length of the short right-angle side. Such a setting can reduce the outdoor space occupied by the support frame 3 in the window state and avoid affecting others.

[0042] Specifically, a handle 9 for pulling up the window is fixed on the side of the tempered glass 5 facing the window frame 1. After the balcony is pulled up to become a window by the handle 9, the clamp 13 on the window frame 1 is rotated and inserted into the buckle 14 on the top edge of the frame 2 to lock the window. Conversely, the clamp 13 is rotated and the buckle 14 is released to unfold the window to become a balcony.

[0043] Specifically, the movable guardrail 4 includes four connecting rod groups and a front guardrail 8, and the four connecting rod groups 7 are evenly arranged on both sides of the frame 2. Each connecting rod group 7 is composed of a crossbar 71 and three vertical rods 72. Specifically, three vertical rods 72 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the crossbar 71, and the connection position of the three vertical rods 72 and the crossbar 71 is one end of the vertical rod 72, and the connection method is hinged.

[0044] The movable guardrail 4 is connected to the frame 2 through three vertical rods 72 in the connecting rod group 7, and the connection position is the other end of the vertical rod 72, and the connection method is hinged. Specifically, the connecting rod group 7 presents a parallelogram frame. The parallelogram frame formed by the two connecting rod groups 7 on the same side of the frame 2 can be folded relative to the side of the frame 2. It should be noted here that the cross bar 71 and the vertical rod 72 in each connecting rod group 7 are of the same length and the length is half of the height of the frame 2, so that the folded connecting rod group 7 can be completely hidden in the side of the frame 2.

[0045] In the balcony state, all the crossbars 71 are in the same horizontal plane, and the pins 11 are inserted between two connected crossbars 71 to fix them (it should be noted that the pins 11 need to be removed before switching from the balcony state to the window state). A vertical rod 72 in the connecting rod group 7 close to the top edge of the frame 2 is connected and fixed to the front guardrail 8. In the process of switching from the balcony state to the window state, the front guardrail 8 rotates toward the tempered glass 5 with the rotation of the connecting rod group 7 until it is attached to the surface of the tempered glass 5.

[0046] Preferably, grooves 10 are formed on both sides of the frame 2 , and the connecting rod assembly 7 is folded in the grooves 10 .

[0047] Preferably, the vertical rod 72 is a strip with a rectangular cross section, and the bottom of the vertical rod 72 has a rounded corner 12, and the rounded corner 12 limits the rotation angle range of the vertical rod 72 to 0-90 degrees.

[0048] It should be understood that the above description of the specific embodiments of the utility model is only for illustrating the technical route and features of the utility model, and its purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the utility model and implement it accordingly, but the utility model is not limited to the above specific implementation methods.
