Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of door and window technology, specifically a tongue and groove joint for preventing leakage of exterior windows. Background Technology

[0002] Fujian Province has a typical subtropical climate with abundant rainfall throughout the year, especially frequent typhoons and torrential rains in summer. After the handover of high-rise residential projects, window leakage issues account for a large proportion of quality warranty claims, making it a high-risk area for homeowner complaints. This has a significant negative impact on the reputation of developers and construction companies.

[0003] In existing technologies, the conventional process for exterior window projects is as follows:

[0004] (1) The subframe is embedded after installation and fixed to the external window opening using wall ties and nails;

[0005] (2) After the gap between the subframe and the window opening structure base is properly sealed, waterproof mortar is used to wrap the edges of both sides of the subframe, and the plaster surface is flush with the subframe surface. The plastering on the outdoor side ensures the slope requirement;

[0006] (3) Install the main frame of the exterior window and fill the space between the main and sub-frames with expanding foam;

[0007] (4) Apply sealant between the base of the main frame of the exterior window and the decorative surface of the window edge.

[0008] Through long-term use and observation, the following two drawbacks were found in the above approach:

[0009] 1. Leakage around windows is likely to occur due to factors such as incomplete filling of the foaming agent and inadequate application of sealant.

[0010] 2. According to conventional practice, without increasing the size of the external window opening, the general cutting size of the external window main frame is: opening width - 2x (sub-frame caulking thickness + main and sub-frame caulking thickness + sub-frame thickness). Taking a 1200mm wide external window opening as an example, the main frame size is only about 1120mm. According to Clause 6.2.1 of the "Technical Specification for Exterior Windows of Civil Buildings in Fujian Province DBJ13-255-2016", "During the design, the dimensions marked on the window opening should be the same as the marked dimensions of the opening. The internal structural dimensions of the subframe should be the same as the marked dimensions of the opening. For example, if the marked opening dimensions are 1200mm x 1500mm, the width and height of the inner opening of the installed subframe should be 1200mm and 1500mm respectively. Subtracting the installation gap between the window frame and the subframe, which is about 6mm on each side, the actual dimensions of the window are 1188mm x 1488mm." Furthermore, conventional material cutting methods cannot meet the requirement of Clause 7.2.4.2 of the "Code for Design of Residential Buildings" (GB 50096-2011), which states that "the ventilation opening area should not be less than 1 / 10 of the floor area of ​​the room," thus affecting the functionality of the residence.

[0011] 3. Complex procedures are not conducive to speeding up on-site construction progress.

[0012] To reduce the risk of window leakage, ensure the functionality of windows in residential projects, simplify on-site procedures, and facilitate construction, this study investigates a new type of window anti-leakage tongue and groove joint. This design aims to reduce the risk of window leakage, meet performance indicators such as the window-to-floor ratio, and improve the quality of window construction.

[0013] Therefore, this utility model provides a leak-proof tongue and groove joint for exterior windows. Utility Model Content

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] 1. The leak-proof tongue and groove joint for exterior windows described in this utility model pre-embeds the subframe along with the structure in one step, eliminating the window edge wrapping process and saving the cost of wrapping materials and labor in conventional processes.

[0023] 2. The leak-proof tongue and groove joint for exterior windows described in this utility model achieves this by leaving a plastic groove on the inner side of the formwork near the exterior, allowing the tongue and groove joint to be formed in one step during the construction of the concrete structure. This eliminates the need for a pre-embedded subframe, thus accelerating on-site construction.

[0024] 3.
