Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of door and window hardware technology, specifically, it relates to a suspension component and window for European standard drift windows. Background Technology

[0002] Casement windows are a common type of window, offering good sealing and sound insulation, but they also have some inherent drawbacks. Specifically, inward-opening windows take up interior space when open, potentially affecting the placement of curtains and furniture, or causing people to bump into them (especially in small spaces or near hallways). The sharp corners of inward-opening windows also pose a risk of injury to children or people with mobility issues. Sliding windows, on the other hand, are a type of window that opens or closes by horizontally sliding sashes. Their core feature is that the sashes move parallel to a track, without occupying interior or exterior space.

[0003] Sliding windows offer numerous advantages over casement windows, leading many casement window users to consider switching. However, replacing casement windows with sliding windows requires purchasing new sliding windows, which can be financially burdensome. Furthermore, the replaced casement windows are often not reused, resulting in waste. Utility Model Content

[0040] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 7 as well as Figure 11 , Figure 12This invention provides a suspension assembly for a European standard drift window. The suspension assembly for a European standard drift window connects the window body and the window frame, enabling the window body to drift relative to the window frame. It includes: a connecting bracket 1, a movable plate 2, a limiting component 3, and a pulley assembly 4. The connecting bracket 1 connects to the window body. The movable plate 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting bracket 1. The limiting component 3 is mounted on the connecting bracket 1; it limits the rotation range of the movable plate 2. The pulley assembly 4 is connected to the movable plate 2 and can rotate relative to it. Under force, the pulley assembly 4 can slide relative to the window frame. The connecting bracket 1 is located on one side of the lower end face of the movable plate 2; the pulley assembly 4 is located on one side of the upper end face of the movable plate 2. The movable plate 2 has two usage states. In the first usage state, the movable plate 2 overlaps the connecting bracket 1 vertically, and the suspension assembly for the European standard drift window is locked, at which point the window body and window frame are sealed together. In the second usage state, the movable plate 2 is set at a certain angle relative to the connecting bracket 1, and the suspension component for the European standard drift window is in use. The window body can move relative to the window frame, that is, the window body can drift relative to the window frame along a preset path.

[0041] This utility model provides a suspension component for European standard sliding windows. Compared with the prior art, it can upgrade casement windows into sliding windows without removing the glass, window frame, handle, or opening sash. This effectively reduces replacement costs, alleviates economic pressure, and avoids waste.

[0042] As one specific implementation of this utility model, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 7 as well as Figure 11 , Figure 12 The suspension assembly for the European standard drift window also includes a connecting spring 7, one end of which is connected to the movable plate 2, and the other end is connected to the connecting bracket 1. The connecting spring 7 has two operating states: in the first operating state, the connecting spring 7 is not under force and is tilted, in its initial state; in the second operating state, the connecting spring 7 is under force, and its length changes. The connecting spring 7 provides assistance for adjusting the operating state of the movable plate 2.

[0043] As one specific implementation of this utility model, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 7 as well as Figure 11 , Figure 12 The connecting bracket 1 is snapped into the window body. Specifically, the connecting bracket 1 is provided with a slot that fits the window body.

[0044] In some feasible embodiments, the connecting bracket 1 includes a first locking plate 11, a second locking plate 12, and a third locking plate 13 stacked together. The area of ​​the second locking plate 12 is smaller than the area of ​​the third locking plate 13; the area of ​​the third locking plate 13 is smaller than the area of ​​the first locking plate 11. The first locking plate 11, the second locking plate 12, and the third locking plate 13 are rectangular plates. The center points of the first locking plate 11, the second locking plate 12, and the third locking plate 13 are on the same vertical line. When the first locking plate 11, the second locking plate 12, and the third locking plate 13 are stacked, the space formed between the lower end face of the first locking plate 11, the side face of the second locking plate 12, and the upper end face of the third locking plate 13 is a slot. The stacked arrangement of the connecting bracket 1 facilitates its fabrication.

[0045] As one specific implementation of this utility model, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 7 The connecting bracket 1 has multiple mounting holes arranged along the stacking height direction. Each mounting hole has a rotating shaft, through which the connecting bracket 1 is rotatably connected to the movable plate 2. A limit assembly 3 is connected and fixed to another mounting hole.

[0046] In some feasible embodiments, the limiting component 3 is a limiting column structure. The limiting column structure is connected and fixed to the connecting bracket 1 through a mounting hole structure.

[0047] As one specific implementation of this utility model, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 7 as well as Figure 11 , Figure 12 One end of the movable plate 2 is connected to the connecting bracket 1 via a rotating shaft structure 5, and the other end is connected to a pulley assembly 4. The end of the movable plate 2 connected to the connecting bracket 1 has a protrusion. When the movable plate 2 rotates relative to the connecting bracket 1 to a certain angle, the protrusion contacts the limiting assembly 3. The limiting assembly 3 prevents the movable plate 2 from continuing to rotate relative to the connecting bracket 1.

[0048] In some feasible embodiments, the pulley assembly 4 includes: a base 41, a pulley 42, and a pivot connector 43. The pivot connector 43 is rotatably connected to the base 41. One end of the pivot connector 43 is connected to a movable plate. The pulley 42 is rotatably connected to the base 41. The pulley 42 is disposed on the end face of the movable plate 2 opposite to the connecting bracket 1. The base 41 is capable of rotating 360° relative to the movable plate 2.

[0049] In some feasible embodiments, the pulley assembly 42 includes a shaft 422 and pulley bodies 421. One end of the shaft 422 passes through the base 41, and the shaft 422 is rotatably connected to the base 41. Two sets of pulley bodies 421 are respectively disposed at both ends of the shaft 422. When the pulley assembly 42 is installed on the base 41, the side of the pulley body 421 is higher than the upper surface of the base. This ensures that the sliding operation of the pulley assembly 4 can proceed smoothly.

[0050] As one specific implementation of this utility model, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 12 A suspension assembly for a European standard drift window also includes a mounting rail 6 for connection and fixation to the window frame. The mounting rail 6 is slidably connected to a pulley assembly 4. One or more suspension bodies can be suspended on the mounting rail 6 as needed. It should be noted that the suspension body can be a structural component consisting of a connecting bracket 1, a movable plate 2, a limiting assembly 3, a pulley assembly 4, a rotating shaft structure 5, and a connecting spring 7 (e.g., Figure 11 The suspension body can also be a structural component consisting of a connecting bracket 1, a movable plate 2, a limiting assembly 3, a pulley assembly 4, and a rotating shaft structure 5 (e.g., Figure 12 ).

[0051] 6. Install the track; 61. Pipe body; 62. Install the slide rail; 63. First connection position; 7. Connecting spring

[0052] In some feasible embodiments, the mounting track 6 includes a tube body 61 with a through hole extending axially through it; the tube body 61 also has a plurality of first connection positions 63. A mounting slide 62 communicating with the through hole is provided on the side of the tube body 61. The mounting slide 62 is adapted to the pulley assembly 42. By moving the pulley assembly 42 along a preset path of the mounting slide 62, the connecting bracket 1, the movable plate 2, the limiting assembly 3, and the pulley assembly 4 can simultaneously move relative to the mounting track 6.

[0053] In any feasible embodiment, multiple first connection positions 63 are provided along the axial direction of the tube body 61. The first connection positions 63 are mounting hole structures.

[0054] This utility model also provides a window, including a suspension assembly for a European standard drift window as described in any of the above embodiments, and further including a window body and a window frame. The mounting track 6 is connected and fixed to the window frame, and the connecting bracket 1 is connected and fixed to the window body. That is, the connecting bracket 1, the movable plate 2, the limiting assembly 3, and the pulley assembly 4 are simultaneously connected and fixed to the window body. Then, the pulley assembly 4 is connected and installed to the mounting track 6, thereby upgrading the casement window, allowing the window body to slide relative to the window frame.

[0055] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the embodiments of the present invention.
