Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass curtain wall technology, and in particular to a hidden frame top-hung window and curtain wall. Background Technology
[0002] In the design and application of glass curtain walls, conventional top-hung windows are quite common. Their opening mechanism involves hinges connecting the top of the window sash to the frame, allowing the sash to open upwards at a certain angle. However, this type of conventional top-hung window has some obvious drawbacks. For example, the four sides of the window frame are clearly visible from the interior space, and their presence can be observed from various angles within the building. With the continuous development of architectural aesthetics and functional requirements, some curtain walls have undergone design innovation and optimization. Among these improvements, the connection between the window sash and the beam has been modified, adopting a concealed design that integrates the top and bottom window sashes with the beam. With this design, the top and bottom frames are virtually invisible from the interior. However, even with this concealed design, the left and right frames of the window sash are still clearly visible from the interior, and from the exterior, only the top and bottom frames are concealed, failing to achieve complete frame concealment.
[0003] Patent CN110952881A discloses a fully concealed frame top-hung window, which hides the frame of the fixed window sash but does not hide the frame of the operable sash, resulting in poor concealment and failing to achieve complete concealment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a concealed frame top-hung window and curtain wall to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a frameless top-hung window and curtain wall to solve the problems existing in the prior art, so that the frame of the top-hung window is not visible from either the outside or the inside, and the hiding effect is good.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] 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.
[0025] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a frameless top-hung window and curtain wall to solve the problems existing in the prior art, so that the frame of the top-hung window is not visible from either the outside or the inside, and the concealment effect is good.
[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] like Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a hidden frame top-hung window, including an operable sash 3 and a window frame. The operable sash 3 includes glass and a glass pressure plate 16. The window frame includes an upper sash frame, a lower sash frame, a left sash frame, and a right sash frame that are connected end to end to form a circumferential frame. The glass pressure plate 16 is disposed on the left and right edges of the glass. The glass pressure plate 16 is perpendicular to the glass, and the width of the glass pressure plate 16 is the same as the width of the left and right sash frames. When the operable sash 3 is closed, the glass pressure plates on the left and right edges of the glass are located between two adjacent decorative lines of the curtain wall and are attached to the decorative lines 17 of the curtain wall. The upper edges of every two adjacent pieces of multi-layer glass are bonded with sealant, and the lower edges of every two adjacent pieces of glass are bonded with sealant. No glass pressure plate is provided. The left and right sash frames are fixedly disposed inside two adjacent columns 102, and the upper and lower sash frames 2 are fixedly disposed inside two adjacent beams 101. The operable sash 3 is rotatably connected to the upper sash frame 1. The glass pressure plate 16 is set perpendicular to the glass rather than attached to it, and the width of the glass pressure plate 16 is the same as that of the left and right sash frames. After the opening sash 3 is closed, the glass pressure plate 16 is attached to the left and right sash frames, and the lines of the glass pressure plate 16 are attached to the decorative lines 17 of the curtain wall. From the outside, the lines of the glass pressure plate 16 and the decorative lines 17 of the curtain wall are integrated. Since the top of the glass is glued, it is frameless. From the outside, the top-hung window achieves a hidden frame. The left and right sash frames are fixed inside the column 102, and the glass pressure plate 16 is perpendicular to the glass. After the opening sash 3 is closed, the glass pressure plate 16 appears as a vertical strip attached to the left and right sash frames inside the column 102. From the inside, all frames are hidden. Since the top of the glass is glued, it achieves a frameless design. Therefore, the hidden frame top-hung window of this utility model is invisible from both the outside and the inside, and has a good hiding effect.
[0029] In some embodiments, a cylindrical connecting post 4 is provided on the upper fan frame, and a hook 5 is provided above the opening fan 3. The hook 5 is hung on the cylindrical connecting post 4 and can rotate around the cylindrical connecting post 4. The hook 5 can rotate freely around the cylindrical connecting post 4, making the opening and closing operation of the opening fan 3 more flexible and smooth. The cylindrical connecting post 4 provides stable support, and the hook 5 and the cylindrical connecting post 4 are tightly matched to ensure that the opening fan 3 will not shake or fall off during rotation, ensuring safe use and maintaining stable performance even after long-term use.
[0030] In some embodiments, the concealed frame top-hung window further includes an anti-detachment block 6, which is fixedly mounted on the upper sash frame 1. The anti-detachment block 6 has a first arc-shaped surface, and the side of the hook 5 away from the circular connecting post 4 has a second arc-shaped surface with the same shape as the first arc-shaped surface. The first arc-shaped surface and the second arc-shaped surface of the hook 5 away from the cylindrical connecting post 4 are fitted together. The anti-detachment block 6 effectively prevents the hook 5 from falling off the cylindrical connecting post 4. Since the hook 5 is a key connecting component for the rotation of the opening sash 3, if it falls off, the opening sash 3 may lose control, leading to a safety hazard. The anti-detachment block 6, through its fit with the hook 5, provides additional restraint for the hook 5, ensuring safety during use.
[0031] In some embodiments, the concealed-frame top-hung window also includes a stainless steel sliding hardware 7. One end of the stainless steel sliding hardware 7 is fixed to the upper sash frame, and the other end is fixed to the operable sash 3. The stainless steel sliding hardware 7 can extend or retract in the opening direction of the operable sash 3. The stainless steel sliding hardware 7 can provide assistance during the opening and closing of the operable sash 3. When the window needs to be opened, the stainless steel sliding hardware 7 extends, helping to push the operable sash 3 to rotate around the cylindrical connecting post 4, reducing the force required for the user to open the window, especially for larger or heavier operable sashes 3, where the assistance is more obvious. When closing the window, the stainless steel sliding hardware 7 can control the closing speed of the operable sash 3, making it close slowly and smoothly, avoiding large impact forces when closing. The stainless steel sliding hardware 7 can precisely control the opening angle of the operable sash 3. By adjusting the extension or retraction length of the stainless steel sliding hardware 7, the operable sash 3 can be positioned at the required angle to meet different ventilation and lighting needs of users. At the same time, the stainless steel sliding hardware 7 can also play a limiting role, preventing the opening angle of the operable sash 3 from being too large, exceeding the safe range, or causing damage to the window structure.
[0032] In some embodiments, two glass panes are provided, along with two glass pressure plates 16. The two glass pressure plates 16 are respectively positioned on both sides of the two glass panes and fixed with pressure plate screws 14. The top and bottom of the two glass panes are bonded together with silicone structural sealant 15. The silicone structural sealant 15 has good adhesion and strength, firmly connecting and sealing the two glass panes, reducing the risk of individual glass panes breaking due to uneven stress. The two glass pressure plates 16, respectively positioned on both sides of the two glass panes and fixed with pressure plate screws 14, provide additional lateral support to the glass, preventing lateral displacement of the glass under wind pressure and further enhancing the stability of the glass installation structure.
[0033] In some embodiments, the frameless top-hung window also includes a handle 8, which is located at the lower part of the operable sash 3 and on the indoor side, for opening or closing the operable sash 3. The handle 8 provides a point of leverage for the user to operate, and the fact that the handle 8 is located at the lower part of the operable sash 3 makes it more convenient for the user to use, allowing the user to easily open or close the operable sash 3 without having to tiptoe or perform other actions.
[0034] In some embodiments, the concealed-frame top-hung window further includes a locking block 10 and a transmission rod 9. A stop block 11 is provided on the lower sash frame 2. The transmission rod 9 is fixedly connected to a handle 8, and the locking block 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the transmission rod 9. The handle 8 is rotatably connected to the lower sash frame 2 and can rotate around the axis of the transmission rod. By rotating the handle 8, the transmission rod can be rotated, which drives the locking block to rotate, causing the locking block 10 to move away from or engage with the stop block 11. The locking block 10 and the stop block 11 cooperate. When the locking block 10 engages with the stop block 11, it can effectively prevent the openable sash 3 from opening arbitrarily, improving security. When the locking block 10 moves away from the stop block 11, the openable sash 3 can be opened. By rotating the handle 8, the locking block 10 and the stop block 11 can be separated or engaged, integrating the window's opening and locking functions, improving ease of use.
[0035] In some embodiments, the concealed frame top-hung window also includes a silicone weather-resistant sealant 13, which is applied at the corner where the window frame connects to the beam 101 or column 102. The silicone weather-resistant sealant 13 has excellent water resistance and sealing properties, effectively preventing rainwater from seeping into the room from the corner where the window frame connects to the beam 101 or column 102, preventing rainwater leakage from damaging the interior decoration and structure. It can also fill the tiny gaps between the window frame and the beam 101 or column 102, forming a good airtight layer, reducing the exchange of indoor and outdoor air, improving the airtightness of the window, and helping to maintain a stable indoor temperature.
[0036] In some embodiments, the concealed frame top-hung window also includes a sealing strip 12, which is disposed between the operable sash 3 and the beam 101 and at the joint between the operable sash 3 and the window frame. The sealing strip 12 can tightly fill the tiny gaps between the operable sash 3 and the beam 101, and between the operable sash 3 and the window frame, effectively blocking rainwater penetration and preventing rainwater from flowing into the room through the gaps, protecting the interior decoration and facilities from water damage. Furthermore, the sealing strip 12 can effectively absorb and block sound transmission, significantly reducing the amount of external noise entering the room. The sealing strip 12 forms a flexible connection between the operable sash 3 and the beam 101 and the window frame. When the window is subjected to external forces such as wind and vibration, the sealing strip 12 can act as a buffer and shock absorber, reducing the hard impact between the operable sash 3 and the window frame, preventing wear and loosening of components due to frequent vibration and friction, and extending the service life of various window components.

[0038] This embodiment also provides a curtain wall, including a frameless top-hung window as described in Embodiment 1, so that the frame of the top-hung window is not visible from either the outside or the inside, and the concealment effect is good.
[0039] This utility model uses specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
