Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of window technology, specifically to a window that can be opened in both directions. Background Technology

[0002] In architecture, a window is an opening built into a wall or roof to allow light or air to enter a room. Doors and windows are classified as enclosure components or partition components depending on their location, and have different design requirements, such as providing functions like heat insulation, sound insulation, waterproofing, and fireproofing.

[0003] There are three common ways to open windows: sliding left and right, rotating open around the vertical frame, or rotating open around the top horizontal frame. Windows that rotate around the vertical frame are the most common. They are easy for users to open and close and have a certain airflow guiding effect, resulting in good ventilation. However, in strong winds, the windows are prone to swaying, have poor stability, and can even be damaged in severe cases. Windows that rotate around the top horizontal frame are less affected by wind and have good stability. However, due to gravity and the ease of opening and closing, they cannot be opened too wide, and their ventilation effect is less effective. Currently, most windows open using only one of these methods, failing to meet the diverse opening needs of users. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a window that can be opened in both directions. It can be opened by rotating and pushing with the vertical frame as the center, or by rotating and pushing with the top horizontal frame as the center. Users can choose the opening method according to their needs. It is highly functional, practical and improves the user experience.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a window that can open in both directions, comprising a window frame, a window, a universal ball hinge, a lock, a top horizontal frame connector, and a vertical frame connector. One corner of the top of the window is connected to the window frame via the universal ball hinge, and the window is connected to the window frame via the lock at the opposite corner of the universal ball hinge. The window opens outwards. The window is rotatably connected to the top of the window frame via the top horizontal frame connector, and the window is rotatably connected to the vertical frames on the left and right sides of the window frame via vertical frame connectors. The vertical frame connectors are correspondingly located on the side of the window frame closest to the universal ball hinge. The top horizontal frame connector and the vertical frame connector only rotate. Although the orientations differ, the other structural designs remain the same. The vertical frame connector includes a first central shaft, a first U-shaped bushing, a second U-shaped bushing, and a second central shaft designed vertically. The first central shaft is fixedly connected to the window sidewall, and the first U-shaped bushing is fixedly connected to the window frame with its opening facing outwards. The first central shaft can rotate within the first U-shaped bushing or can detach from it. The second U-shaped bushing is fixedly connected to the window sidewall with its opening facing inwards. The second central shaft is fixedly connected to the window frame, and the second central shaft can rotate within the second U-shaped bushing or can detach from it. The first and second central shafts are on the same axis.

[0006] Preferably, the locking component includes a handle, a pivot, and a locking plate. The window has a locking groove at a diagonal position corresponding to the universal ball hinge. The window frame has a mounting groove at a position corresponding to the locking groove. The pivot is rotatably mounted perpendicular to the window frame surface. One end of the pivot is connected to the handle on the inner side of the window frame. The locking plate is fixedly connected to the side surface of the pivot. The locking plate can rotate into the locking groove or into the mounting groove.

[0007] Preferably, a torsion spring is provided on the rotating shaft at a position corresponding to the mounting groove, and the torsion spring enables the rotating shaft to drive the card plate to rotate into the card groove.

[0008] Preferably, the first central shaft and the second central shaft are provided with limit plates at both ends of the first U-shaped bushing and the second U-shaped bushing.

[0009] Preferably, a vertical handle is provided on the inner side of the window corresponding to the side away from the vertical frame connector, and a horizontal handle is provided on the inner side of the window corresponding to the side away from the top horizontal frame connector.

[0010] This utility model provides a window that can be opened in both directions, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. This utility model can be opened by rotating and pushing with the vertical frame as the center, or by rotating and pushing with the top horizontal frame as the center. Users can choose the opening method according to their needs. It is highly functional, practical, and improves the user experience.

[0012] 2. The locking mechanism of this utility model includes a handle, a shaft, a locking plate, and a torsion spring. The force of the torsion spring enables the shaft to rotate the locking plate into the slot at the bottom corner of the window, thereby limiting the vertical direction of the window and locking the window. When the user turns the handle, the locking plate can slide into the mounting slot of the window frame, thereby opening the window. The locking mechanism has a simple structure and is easy for the user to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] like Figure 1-6As shown, a window 2 that can open in both directions includes a window frame 1, a window 2, a universal ball hinge 3, a lock 6, a top horizontal frame connector 4, and a vertical frame connector 5. One corner of the top of the window 2 is connected to the window frame 1 via the universal ball hinge 3. The opposite corner of the window 2 to the universal ball hinge 3 is connected to the window frame 1 via the lock 6. The window 2 opens outwards. The top of the window 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the window frame 1 via the top horizontal frame connector 4. The window 2 is rotatably connected to the vertical frames on the left and right sides of the window frame 1 via the vertical frame connectors 5. The vertical frame connectors 5 are correspondingly located on the window frame 1 near the universal ball hinge 3. On one side, the top horizontal frame connector 4 and the vertical frame connector 5 are identical in all structural design except for their rotation direction. The vertical frame connector 5 includes a first central shaft 51, a first U-shaped bushing 52, a second U-shaped bushing 53, and a second central shaft 54, all designed vertically. The first central shaft 51 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the window 2. The first U-shaped bushing 52 is fixedly connected to the window frame 1 and its opening faces outward from the window frame 1. The first central shaft 51 can rotate within the first U-shaped bushing 52 or can detach from the first U-shaped bushing 52. The second U-shaped bushing 53 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the window 2 and its opening faces outward from the window frame 1. Inside, the second central shaft 54 ​​is fixedly connected to the window frame 1. The second central shaft 54 ​​can rotate within the second U-shaped bushing 53 or the second U-shaped bushing 53 can disengage from the second central shaft 54. The first central shaft 51 and the second central shaft 54 ​​are on the same axis. The locking component 6 includes a handle 61, a shaft 62, and a locking plate 63. The window 2 has a slot 21 at a diagonal position corresponding to the universal ball hinge 3. The window frame 1 has an installation groove 11 at the position corresponding to the slot 21. The shaft 62 is rotatably mounted perpendicular to the surface of the window frame 1. One end of the shaft 62 is connected to the handle 61 on the inner side of the window frame 1. The plate 63 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the rotating shaft 62, and the plate 63 can rotate into the slot 21 or into the mounting slot 11; a torsion spring 64 is provided on the rotating shaft 62 and at the position corresponding to the mounting slot 11, and the torsion spring 64 can drive the rotating shaft 62 to rotate the plate 63 into the slot 21; the first central shaft 51 and the second central shaft 54 ​​are provided with limit plates 55 at both ends corresponding to the first U-shaped bushing 52 and the second U-shaped bushing 53; a vertical handle 7 is provided on the inner side of the window 2 on the side away from the vertical frame connector 5, and a horizontal handle 8 is provided on the inner side of the window 2 on the side away from the top horizontal frame connector 4.

[0022] Its detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, as follows:

[0023] According to the instruction manual Figure 1-6As can be seen, in this utility model, to rotate and push open the window 2 with the vertical frame as the center, the user first opens the lock 6 and pushes the vertical handle 7 located on the side away from the vertical frame connector 5. The first central axis 51 on the window 2 rotates in the first U-shaped bushing 52, and the second U-shaped bushing 53 rotates around the second central axis 54. The top horizontal frame connector 4 separates. Since the top horizontal frame connector 4 and the vertical frame connector 5 have the same structure, only the rotation direction is different, the separation of the top horizontal frame connector 4 is similar to the separation of the vertical frame connector 5 (which will be explained below). Since the corner on the top side of the window 2 is connected to the window frame 1 through the universal ball hinge 3, and the universal ball hinge is at the intersection of the axes of the top horizontal frame connector 4 and the vertical frame connector 5, it will not affect the operation of the window 2 rotating and opening with the vertical frame connector 5 as the center, and ensures the connection between the entire window 2 and the window frame 1. When a user wants to rotate and push open window 2 with the top horizontal frame as the center, the user first unlocks lock 6 and pushes the horizontal handle 8 located on the side away from the top horizontal frame connector 4. Window 2 flips outward with the top horizontal frame connector 4 as the center, and the vertical frame connector 5 disengages. Specifically, the first central axis 51 disengages from the first U-shaped bushing 52, and the second U-shaped bushing 53 disengages from the second central axis 54. In this way, the user can rotate and push open window 2 with the top horizontal frame as the center. (See reference) Figure 4 Use the arrow direction to understand separation and detachment. During this process, refer to... Figure 5 Because the opening direction of the second U-shaped bushing 53 changes after rotation, and is therefore different from the opening direction of the first U-shaped bushing 52, after the window 2 rotates around the vertical frame connector 5, it can no longer rotate around the top horizontal frame, nor can it detach, thus achieving a limiting function. Similarly, after the window 2 rotates around the top horizontal frame, it can no longer rotate around the vertical frame connector 5, nor can it detach. This utility model can rotate and open both around the vertical frame and around the top horizontal frame, allowing users to choose the opening method according to their needs. It is highly functional, practical, and enhances the user experience.

[0024] The locking component 6 includes a handle 61, a shaft 62, and a locking plate 63. A slot 21 is provided diagonally opposite to the universal ball hinge 3 on the window 2. A mounting groove 11 is provided on the window frame 1 corresponding to the slot 21. The shaft 62 is rotatably mounted perpendicular to the surface of the window frame 1 within the mounting groove. One end of the shaft 62 is connected to the handle 61 on the inner side of the window frame 1. The locking plate 63 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the shaft 62. During operation, rotating the handle 61 drives the shaft 62 to rotate, thereby causing the locking plate 63 to rotate into the slot 21 or into the mounting groove 11. After rotating into the slot 21, it limits the direction perpendicular to the window 2, locking the window 2. The user can rotate the handle to slide the locking plate 63 into the mounting groove 11 of the window frame 1, thus opening the window 2. The locking component 6 has a simple structure and is easy for the user to operate.

[0025] A torsion spring 64 is provided on the rotating shaft 62 and at the position corresponding to the mounting groove 11. The torsion spring 64 enables the rotating shaft 62 to drive the card plate 63 to rotate into the card groove 21, thereby ensuring that the window 2 is locked when closed without external force.

[0026] Among them, the first central shaft 51 and the second central shaft 54 ​​are provided with limit plates 55 at both ends of the first U-shaped bushing 52 and the second U-shaped bushing 53 to ensure the stability of the window 2.

[0027] A vertical handle 7 is provided on the inner side of window 2, corresponding to the side away from the vertical frame connector 5, and a horizontal handle 8 is provided on the inner side of window 2, corresponding to the side away from the top horizontal frame connector 4, so that people can open window 2 in the corresponding direction.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
