[0034] With urbanization, greenhouse gas emissions, high temperatures, and air quality issues, demand for air conditioners is skyrocketing. Installing an outdoor air conditioner unit often requires hoisting from outside, a high-altitude operation that poses a safety hazard. Even with safety precautions, risks cannot be eliminated. Working at height is not only dangerous but also costly, making installation and subsequent maintenance of the outdoor air conditioner inconvenient. Currently, indoor installation of an outdoor air conditioner is possible by creating an installation channel. However, after installation, the channel needs to be sealed with waterproofing and other methods, which makes the installation process cumbersome. Using a standard panel to seal the installation channel simplifies installation but provides poor waterproofing.
[0035] In order to solve the above problems, the present application proposes a bay window cover.
[0036] See also Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the present application, the bay window cover 100 is used to cover the first opening 202 of the installation cavity 201 of the bay window. The bay window cover 100 includes a panel 1, a load-bearing structure 2, and a waterproof layer 3. The load-bearing structure 2 is connected to one side surface of the panel 1; the waterproof layer 3 is connected to the side of the load-bearing structure 2 away from the panel 1, and the waterproof layer 3 is used to abut against the four sides of the first opening 202. The bay window cover 100 is used to cover the first opening 202 of the installation cavity 201 of the bay window, so as to achieve the closure of the installation cavity 201; wherein the bay window cover 100 includes a panel 1, a load-bearing structure 2 and a waterproof layer 3, the load-bearing structure 2 is connected to one side surface of the panel 1, and the waterproof layer 3 is connected to the side of the load-bearing structure 2 away from the panel 1; the bay window cover 100 is flipped open to reveal the first opening 202 of the installation cavity 201, so that the air conditioner outdoor unit 300 can be installed in the installation cavity 201 through the first opening 202; after the installation is completed, the bay window cover 100 is covered at the first opening 201 of the installation cavity 201 of the bay window At the opening 202, the waterproof layer 3 of the bay window cover 100 is in contact with the four sides of the first opening 202. The gravity generated by the panel 1 and the load-bearing structure 2 is used to improve the tightness of the contact between the waterproof layer 3 and the first opening 202, thereby improving the waterproof effect of the bay window cover 100. The load-bearing structure 2 can also be used to provide support for the cover, which can improve the structural rigidity of the bay window cover 100 and enable the bay window cover 100 to withstand the pressure of flipping and daily use. The bay window cover 100 can be flipped open to make the installation and maintenance of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 300 more convenient without affecting the normal use of the bay window body 200.
[0037] The bay window cover 100 can be flipped open to facilitate the installation and maintenance of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 300. The bay window cover 100 also has a waterproof function when closed. In addition, the load-bearing structure 2 provides sufficient support for the panel 1 to ensure the stability of the bay window cover 100 during flipping and daily use. The waterproof layer 3 is tightly abutted against the four sides of the first opening 202 of the bay window, and the gravity of the panel 1 and the load-bearing structure 2 is used to improve the waterproof effect of the bay window cover 100. Even if the air-conditioning outdoor unit 300 is installed, other functions of the bay window (such as lighting, viewing, and placing items) will not be affected.
[0038] In one embodiment, the bay window cover 100 further includes a sound insulation layer 4, which is disposed within a filling cavity provided on the load-bearing structure 2. This filling cavity effectively reduces the noise generated by the air conditioner outdoor unit 300 during operation, thereby significantly reducing the impact on the indoor environment. The sound insulation layer 4 can be made of soundproofing cotton, which not only provides sound insulation but also thermal insulation properties, thereby enhancing the overall thermal insulation performance of the bay window cover 100.
[0039] In one embodiment, the load-bearing structure 2 includes the load-bearing structure 2 and several reinforcement rods 22. The reinforcement rods 22 are arranged along the long sides of the frame 21, forming a plurality of filling cavities between the frame 21 and the reinforcement rods 22. The frame 21 serves as the structural foundation of the load-bearing structure 2 and can be made of galvanized square steel to ensure sufficient structural strength. Multiple reinforcement rods 22 are arranged along the long sides of the frame 21 as additional support members to provide additional strength and rigidity. For example, at least three reinforcement rods 22 may be provided. The reinforcement rods 22 help distribute the load and prevent the frame 21 from deforming under pressure. The spaces between the frame 21 and the reinforcement rods 22 form filling cavities, which facilitate the attachment of the sound insulation layer 4.
[0040] In one embodiment, the area of the waterproof layer 3 is larger than the area of the first opening 202, which can ensure that the waterproof layer 3 completely covers the first opening 202, and can also reduce the gap between the cover plate and the first opening 202 of the bay window body 200, thereby reducing the possibility of moisture entering the room through these gaps.
[0041] In one embodiment, the waterproof layer 3 is made of calcium silicate board. Calcium silicate board not only has excellent waterproof performance, but also has good fire resistance, heat insulation and sound insulation performance, thereby improving the waterproof, fire resistance, heat insulation and sound insulation performance of the bay window cover 100.
[0042] In one embodiment, the panel 1 has an extension at one end facing the interior, which is configured to abut against the top of the bay window body 200. The tight fit of the extension and the bay window improves the sealing performance of the cover, preventing wind, rain, dust, and other external elements from intruding into the interior. Furthermore, the extension abuts against the upper portion 203 of the bay window body 200, increasing the installation stability of the bay window cover 100.
[0043] In one embodiment, the end of the extension protrudes from the anti-canopy wall 211 of the bay window body 200. The end of the panel 1 facing the interior forms an extension, which protrudes from the anti-canopy wall 211 of the bay window body 200, providing a convenient location for gripping and applying force, making it easier for the user to open the bay window cover 100.
[0044] In one embodiment, the end of the extension section is provided with a rounded structure 121. The end of the extension section is provided with a rounded structure 121, which can reduce accidental injuries caused by sharp corners when grasping and applying force to the extension section.
[0045] In one embodiment, the bay window cover 100 further includes a connecting plate, which is fixedly connected to the top of the bay window body 200. The panel 1 is rotatably connected to the side of the connecting plate facing the interior. The rotatable connection between the connecting plate and the panel 1 makes the bay window cover 100 easier to install and maintain. The connecting plate serves to install and secure the bay window cover 100, allowing the entire bay window cover 100 to rotate relative to the bay window body 200. Furthermore, the addition of the connecting plate enhances the stability of the connection between the bay window cover 100 and the bay window.
[0046] In one embodiment, the panel 1 is made of any one or more of natural stone, artificial stone, wood, ceramic tile, and composite board. Natural stone offers the advantages of durability and aesthetics, but is also heavy and requires regular sealing to prevent stains. Artificial stone offers the advantages of easy maintenance, a variety of colors and styles, and relatively light weight. Wood offers a pleasant touch, while ceramic tile is durable, easy to clean, and waterproof. Composite board offers the advantages of low price, light weight, and easy installation. The appropriate material for the panel 1 can be selected based on actual needs, installation environment conditions, maintenance budget, aesthetic requirements, and safety.
[0047] In one embodiment, the panel 1 and the load-bearing structure 2 are connected by an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer can not only provide sufficient bonding force, but also adapt to different material properties to ensure the long-term stability between the panel 1 and the load-bearing structure 2. The adhesive layer can adopt a two-component glue (also known as AB glue). The two-component glue consists of two components, usually referred to as component A and component B. When used, the two components need to be mixed in a certain proportion to achieve curing. There are various types of AB glue, including epoxy resin AB glue, polyurethane AB glue, acrylic AB glue and silicone AB glue. AB glue has the advantages of good bonding strength and toughness, and can withstand large physical loads.
[0048] The technical solution of the present application realizes the sealing of the installation cavity 201 by using the bay window cover 100 to cover the first opening 202 of the installation cavity 201 of the bay window; wherein the bay window cover 100 includes a panel 1, a load-bearing structure 2 and a waterproof layer 3, the load-bearing structure 2 is connected to one side surface of the panel 1, and the waterproof layer 3 is connected to the side of the load-bearing structure 2 away from the panel 1; the first opening 202 of the installation cavity 201 can be exposed by flipping the bay window cover 100 open, so that the air conditioner outdoor unit 300 can be installed in the installation cavity 201 through the first opening 202; after the installation is completed, the bay window cover 100 covers the installation cavity 201 of the bay window At the first opening 202, the waterproof layer 3 of the bay window cover 100 abuts against the four sides of the first opening 202, and the gravity generated by the panel 1 and the load-bearing structure 2 is used to improve the tightness of the abutment between the waterproof layer 3 and the first opening 202, thereby improving the waterproof effect of the bay window cover 100; the load-bearing structure 2 can also be used to provide support for the cover, which can improve the structural rigidity of the bay window cover 100, so that the bay window cover 100 can withstand the pressure of flipping and daily use; the bay window cover 100 can be flipped open, making the installation and maintenance of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 300 more convenient, without affecting the normal use of the bay window body 200.
[0049] The present application also proposes a bay window structure, which includes a bay window cover 100. The specific structure of the bay window cover 100 is referred to the above embodiment. Since the present bay window structure adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here. The bay window structure also includes a bay window body 200, which is provided with an upper floating portion 203 and a lower floating portion 204. An installation cavity 201 is formed between the upper floating portion 203 and the lower floating portion 204. The installation cavity 201 is connected to the outside and is used to install an air conditioner outdoor unit 300. The upper floating portion 203 is provided with a first opening 202, and the bay window cover 100 is covered at the first opening 202.
[0050] By designing an installation cavity 201 in the bay window body 200 for installing the air-conditioning outdoor unit 300, space can be effectively utilized to avoid occupying indoor space, while reducing the difficulty of installation and improving installation safety. When the air-conditioning outdoor unit 300 needs to be maintained or repaired, since the installation cavity 201 is connected to the outdoors, technicians can operate directly from indoors, simplifying the maintenance process. Installing the air-conditioning outdoor unit 300 in the outdoor installation cavity 201 can reduce the impact of noise and heat generated during machine operation on the indoor environment. And since the air-conditioning outdoor unit 300 is fixed in the installation cavity 201, the risk of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 300 falling due to wind or other external forces is reduced, thereby improving safety.
[0051] In one embodiment, a support groove 205 is provided around the first opening 202, and the support groove 205 abuts the bottom of the waterproof layer 3. The support groove 205 provides a stable support structure for the bay window cover 100, enhancing the cover's load-bearing capacity, enabling it to withstand greater weight and external forces. When the bottom of the waterproof layer 3 abuts the support groove 205, a sealed interface is formed, reducing the risk of water leakage. The support groove 205 allows the bay window cover 100 to be precisely positioned, ensuring that it is correctly installed in the predetermined position and remains stable.
[0052] In one embodiment, the installation cavity 201 has a second opening 208 on the side facing the outdoors. The second opening 208 is covered with a protective window 209, which is equipped with a ventilation structure. The second opening 208 of the upper floating portion 203 is covered with a protective window 209, which is equipped with a ventilation structure. This structure not only ensures safety during installation of the air conditioner outdoor unit 300, but also protects the outdoor unit 300 from accidental falls or damage from external forces, and prevents small animals from entering the outdoor unit and causing damage. The ventilation structure on the protective window 209 ensures sufficient air circulation for the outdoor unit, helping to effectively dissipate heat during operation and preventing performance degradation or shutdown due to overheating. The protective window 209 prevents rainwater from directly entering the air conditioner outdoor unit 300, protecting it from humid environments and extending the service life of the device. The protective window 209 can be a Venetian blind.
[0053] In one embodiment, the upper portion 203 of the bay window body 200 is provided with a through-hole 206, which communicates with the installation cavity 201. The addition of through-hole 206 allows the refrigerant pipe and condensate pipe to be directly connected from the air conditioner outdoor unit 300 to the air conditioner indoor unit 400, simplifying the installation process and reducing the workload of on-site welding or sealing. The pipes routed through through-hole 206 are protected from direct external environmental influences, such as rain and direct sunlight, thereby extending the pipe's service life. If maintenance or repair of the refrigerant pipe or condensate pipe is necessary, this can be performed directly through through-hole 206 and the first opening 202, without having to remove the rest of the bay window structure.
[0054] In one embodiment, a mortar leveling layer 207 is further provided on the top of the upper floating portion 203, and the mortar leveling layer 207 is disposed around the support groove 205. The mortar leveling layer 207 can smooth out any uneven or irregular surfaces of the upper floating portion 203 of the bay window body 200, providing a flat installation base for the bay window cover 100. This helps ensure the levelness of the bay window cover 100 during installation, thereby improving the uniformity and tightness of the seal between the bay window cover 100 and the bay window, ensuring the stability and waterproof performance of the bay window cover 100. It can also reduce local stress concentration caused by an uneven base surface, thereby extending the service life of the bay window cover 100.
[0055] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present application and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structural transformation made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present application, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
