[0042] The following is a more detailed description of the flip-up window structure and container of the present invention, with reference to schematic diagrams. These diagrams illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that those skilled in the art may modify the present invention described herein while still achieving the beneficial effects of the present invention. Therefore, the following description should be understood as a general guide for those skilled in the art and not as a limitation of the present invention.

[0043] The following paragraphs describe the present invention in more detail by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are greatly simplified and not to exact scale, and are intended solely to facilitate and clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a flip-up window structure for use in containers, which can be energy storage containers, housing containers, electrical equipment containers, etc. The flip-up window structure in this embodiment includes an outer frame 1 and a window sash 3 mounted inside the outer frame 1. The window sash 3 and the outer frame 1 are flipped open and closed via a pin-type hinge 2.

[0046] Specifically, the sidewalls of the container are provided with window openings, and the flip-up window structure is housed and installed within the window openings. Sleeve members 4 are provided on both sides of the top of the window sash 3, and both sleeve members 4 are located inside the window sash 3. The outer frame 1 is provided with accommodating grooves (not shown) corresponding to the sleeve members 4. One end of the pin hinge 2 is inserted into the sleeve member 4 and fixed in place with a fastener, while the other end of the pin hinge 2 is inserted into the accommodating groove of the outer frame 1. In other words, the window sash 3 and the outer frame 1 are connected by the pin hinge 2, and the window sash 3 rotates relative to the outer frame 1 about the pin hinge 2.

[0047] In the above embodiment, when the flip-up window structure is applied to a container, the outer frame 1 is fixedly embedded and fixed in the side wall of the container to realize the installation of the flip-up window structure and the container. The pin-type hinge 2 realizes the upward flipping and opening of the window sash 3, which not only reduces the space occupied by the window body in the container, but also eliminates the problem of line of sight obstruction caused by side opening. In addition, the two ends of the pin-type hinge 2 are respectively located in the sleeve member 4 and the receiving groove of the outer frame 1, and are both located on the inner side of the window sash 3 and the outer frame 1. The pin-type hinge 2 is not exposed relative to the side wall of the container, realizing a hidden installation setting of the pin-type hinge 2, effectively reducing the occurrence of rust and corrosion caused by long-term exposure of the pin-type hinge 2 due to external environmental factors such as sea transportation and extremely harsh environments, that is, the pin-type hinge 2 has a longer service life.

[0048] In the above embodiment, when installing the window sash 3, the sleeve member 4 on the window sash 3 is first aligned with the receiving groove on the outer frame 1. The pin hinge 2 is then inserted from the inner side of the sleeve member 4, so that the end of the pin hinge 2 passes through the sleeve member 4 and enters the receiving groove. Finally, the pin hinge 2 is fixed in place using a fastener. When the window sash 3 needs to be disassembled, the window sash 3 is first opened to a certain angle to ensure sufficient operating space for the operator. The fastener is then removed to allow the pin hinge 2 to move between the sleeve member 4 and the sleeve member 4. Finally, the pin hinge 2 can be withdrawn from the sleeve member 4, separating the pin hinge 2 from the outer frame 1 and completing the removal of the window sash 3 from the outer frame 1. Thus, the flip-up window structure of this embodiment is relatively convenient for both installation and disassembly of the window sash 3. This is particularly useful for container projects located in remote locations or harsh environments. This easily replaceable window structure significantly reduces the cost of subsequent maintenance and repair for both users and manufacturers.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the inner side of the window sash 3 extends outward to form a protruding structure 33 , and the sleeve member 4 is located outside the protruding structure 33 of the window sash 3 ; a sealing strip 5 is provided around the side wall of the protruding structure 33 of the window sash 3 .

[0050] Taking into account the need for good sealing of the window sash in the closed state, this embodiment adopts the above-mentioned setting method, so that the sealing strip 5 will not be interrupted by the obstruction of the pin-type hinge 2 during installation, thereby achieving sealing in the entire area. Furthermore, the outer frame 1 is provided with an inner frame 6 corresponding to the protruding structure 33; wherein, when the window sash 3 is in a fully closed state, the sealing strip 5 contacts the end face of the inner frame 6, ensuring a good sealing effect and waterproof effect after the window sash 3 is closed. Specifically, the inner frame 6 can be welded to the outer frame 1 by welding, and the outer frame 1 is used to match the side wall of the container. The size of the outer frame 1 can be set accordingly according to the side wall of the container, such as setting the depth of the outer frame 1 according to the thickness of the container side wall, and adjusting the depth of the inner frame 6 according to the depth of the outer frame 1, to ensure that the depth difference between the outer frame 1 and the inner frame 6 meets the installation requirements of the window sash 3.

[0051] Furthermore, a baffle 31 is provided on the side wall of the raised structure 33 of the window sash 3 , a drainage groove structure 32 is formed between the baffle 31 and the window sash 3 , and the sealing strip 5 is installed on the baffle 31 .

[0052] Rainwater enters the inner side of the outer frame 1 through the gap between the window sash 3 and the outer frame 1 and is blocked by the sealing strip 5. Through the setting of the enclosure 31, a drainage groove structure 32 is formed on the outer side of the sealing strip 5. The rainwater blocked by the sealing strip 5 will enter the drainage groove structure 32. The drainage groove structure 32 guides the rainwater to the outside of the outer frame 1, thereby avoiding local water accumulation inside the outer frame 1.

[0053] It's important to note that the arrangement of the sealing strip 5 in the flip-up window structure of this embodiment avoids the conventional sealing strip arrangement: the sealing strip is placed on the window frame or around the edges of the window panel. Conventional sealing strips placed on the window frame can be damaged by objects touching them after the window is opened, or they can age due to ultraviolet radiation, thus affecting the sealing performance. In this embodiment, the sealing strip 5 is placed on the inside of the window sash 3, away from the edge of the window sash 3, making it less likely to be pressed. Furthermore, when the window sash 3 is open, the sealing strip 5 is shielded from sunlight and cannot be easily touched, resulting in a more durable sealing effect.

[0054] In the above implementation process, preferably, the outer periphery of the window sash 3 is bent inward to form a flange structure 34, which has a certain effect of blocking rainwater and improves the sealing performance of the window sash 3 after closing.

[0055] In the preferred embodiment described above, one side of the sealing strip 5 is integrally formed with a rim (not shown). Specifically, the rim has a U-shaped cross-section to fit the enclosure 31. During installation of the sealing strip 5, the rim is tightly wrapped around the enclosure 31, ensuring stable installation of the sealing strip 5. Optionally, to further enhance the stability of the sealing strip 5 installation, anti-slip grooves are provided on the inner sidewall of the rim to increase the sliding friction between the rim and the enclosure 31.

[0056] In a specific embodiment, the fastener includes a fastening screw 7 and an elastic washer (not shown). In this embodiment, a hole is formed through the side wall of the sleeve member 4, and a threaded hole is formed in the side wall of the pin hinge 2. The fastening screw 7 passes through the hole and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The elastic washer is sleeved over the fastening screw 7 and is located between the screw head of the fastening screw 7 and the sleeve member 4.

[0057] That is to say, in the above specific embodiment, the fastening screw 7 passes through the hole in the side wall of the sleeve member 4 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the pin hinge 2, and cooperates with the elastic gasket to achieve further fixed installation of the pin hinge 2.

[0058] In another specific embodiment, in conjunction with reference to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The flip-up window structure also includes a power-assisting support rod 8; a first connecting seat 12 is provided on the inner end surface of the window sash 3; the inner side wall of the outer frame 1 is provided with a second connecting seat 13 corresponding to the first connecting seat 12 and located below the first connecting seat 12; the power-assisting support rod 8 is hinged to the first connecting seat 12 and the second connecting seat 13 respectively.

[0059] Specifically, the first connecting seat 12 is located on the inner end surface of the protruding structure 33 of the window sash 3 , and the second connecting seat 13 is located on the inner wall of the inner frame 6 .

[0060] exist Figure 6 In the embodiment, the window sash 3 is in a fully closed state, the protruding structure 33 is embedded in the inner frame 6, and the assisting support rod 8 is in a retracted state. When the window sash 3 needs to be opened, force is applied from the inside of the window sash 3 to push the window sash 3 outward. During the opening process of the window sash 3, the assisting support rod 8 gradually extends. After the window sash 3 is fully opened, the assisting support rod 8 acts as a support member to provide effective support for the window sash 3, ensuring that the window sash 3 maintains a stable position after opening. Figure 5 As shown, the provision of the power-assisting strut 8 can greatly prevent the window sash 3 from being pushed outward with excessive force, thereby allowing the window sash 3 to rise slowly and ensuring the service life of the entire window structure. Optionally, the power-assisting strut 8 can be a commonly used hydraulic strut, pneumatic strut, etc., so that no matter how many types of window sash 3 there are, they can be easily opened and closed by matching the appropriate power-assisting strut 8.

[0061] At the same time, in order to further facilitate the opening and closing of the window sash 3, a lifting handle 9 can also be installed on the inner side of the window sash 3.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, a locking mechanism 10 is provided at the bottom position of the inner side of the window sash 3, and a buckle position 11 corresponding to the locking mechanism is provided on the inner side of the outer frame 1, thereby improving the safety of the flip-up window structure.

[0063] Specifically, with reference Figure 6 The locking mechanism 10 can adopt a common latch lock structure on the market, with an adjustable latch that cooperates with the buckle 11. When the latch of the locking mechanism 10 is inserted into the buckle 11, the window sash 3 is restricted from rotation and cannot be opened. When the window sash 3 needs to be opened, the latch of the locking mechanism 10 is adjusted to separate from the buckle 11, and then the window sash 3 can be pushed to open it.

[0064] Example 2

[0065] This embodiment provides a container, on the box body of which is installed the flip-up window structure provided in the first embodiment.

[0066] Specifically, a window opening is provided on a side wall of the container body, and the flip-up window structure is accommodated and installed in the window opening.

[0067] Installing a flip-up window structure like the one proposed in Example 1 on a container body not only reduces the space occupied by the window within the container but also eliminates the problem of obstructed vision caused by side opening. Furthermore, the flip-up window's pin hinge is concealed, making it more resistant to extreme environments and providing a longer service life. Furthermore, the flip-up window structure can be embedded in the container's sidewall, achieving a smooth and simple overall appearance.

[0068] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present application fall within the scope of the claims of the present application and their equivalents, the present application also intends to include these modifications and variations.
