[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model claims protection for a cross-nested pulley assembly, including a first sliding member 1 and a second sliding member 2 fitted together. The first sliding member 1 includes a first base 101, and the second sliding member 2 includes a second base 201. Both the first base 101 and the second base 201 are assembled in the guide rail of a folding window. The first base 101 and the second base 201 are also connected to a window sash connecting rod 6 for connecting with the window sash. The upper end of the window sash connecting rod 6 is provided with a tapered guide head, which helps to insert into the window sash assembled in the folding window. Therefore, when the folding window moves, it will drive the first base 101 and the second base 201 to move in the guide rail.

[0026] The first base 101 has a first guide wheel assembly on its outer side, and the second base 201 has a second guide wheel assembly on its outer side. Both the first and second guide wheel assemblies include at least one high wheel 3 and at least one low wheel 4. The rim of the high wheel 3 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the first base 101 / second base 201, and the rim of the low wheel 4 protrudes downward from the lower surface of the first base 101 / second base 201. The first base 101 and the second base 201 move in the track via the high wheel 3 and the low wheel 4. The high wheel 3 can be used to roll into contact with the top of the inner wall of the track, and the low wheel 4 can be used to roll into contact with the bottom of the inner wall of the track. The planes on which the first guide wheel assembly and the second guide wheel assembly are located are parallel to each other, so there will be no path interference during movement, and the movement is smooth.

[0027] Specifically, the first base 101 includes a bottom plate 1011 and a first side plate 1012 connected together, and the second base 201 includes a top plate 2011 and a second side plate 2012 connected together. The first guide wheel assembly is rotatably connected to the outside of the first side plate 1012, and the second guide wheel assembly is rotatably connected to the outside of the second side plate 2012. Therefore, the first guide wheel assembly and the second guide wheel assembly can be prevented from touching when the first base 101 and the second base 201 are fitted together, which also helps to improve the tightness of the connection.

[0028] In this embodiment, the center height and diameter of the high wheel 3 are both greater than those of the low wheel 4. The combination of the high wheel 3 and the low wheel 4 forms a walking constraint system, which effectively suppresses displacement deviation in the Z-axis direction.

[0029] To further enhance operational stability, at least one guide wheel 5 is provided on the upper and / or lower surfaces of the first base 101 and the second base 201. The rotation plane of the guide wheel 5 is perpendicular to the rotation plane of the lower wheel 4 and the higher wheel 3. The guide wheel 5 can be used to roll into contact with both sides of the inner wall of the track, so that the first sliding member 1 and the second sliding member 2 will not sway left and right when walking.

[0030] In this utility model, when the first sliding member 1 and the second sliding member 2 come close together, the first base 101 and the second base 201 overlap in the projection in the front-back direction, that is, the first base 101 and the second base 201 interlock, thereby enhancing the compactness of the structure and improving the fit of the folded window sash.

[0031] In this embodiment, buffer strips 7 are provided at the front walking sections of the first base 101 and the second base 201; Figure 1 For example, when the first base 101 and the second base 201 are interlocked to the limit, the buffer strip 7 on the second base 201 touches and contacts the corresponding part of the first base 101, which helps to improve the degree of connection. Since the first base 101 and the second base 201 are usually made of metal, the design of the buffer strip 7 helps to reduce noise and provide a buffering effect.

[0032] Both the first base 101 and the second base 201 are provided with dovetail-shaped snap-fit ​​grooves 2013. The buffer strip 7 can be detachably installed in the grooves 2013. This detachable design facilitates assembly and replacement maintenance. The buffer strip 7 has an arc-shaped surface. According to research, the arc-shaped structure can disperse the impact force along the tangent direction of the curved surface, avoid local stress concentration when the plane is in contact, reduce the risk of material cracking, and extend the service life.

[0033] This cross-nested pulley assembly is designed with a first sliding member 1 and a second sliding member 2 having an interlocking arrangement. After the window sash is folded, the first base 101 of the first sliding member 1 and the second base 201 of the second sliding member 2 will cross-nest, thereby helping to improve the fit of the window sash after folding, improve space utilization and structural compactness.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. However, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
