Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of balcony railings, and in particular to a novel balcony railing structure and architecture. Background Technology

[0002] Balcony railings are safety and decorative components of building facades, combining functionality and aesthetics. Their core function is to ensure the safety of balcony edges and prevent the risk of falls. They typically consist of posts, horizontal bars, handrails, and panels, and are made from materials including metal (stainless steel, aluminum alloy), wood, glass, and stone. Metal railings are known for their high strength and corrosion resistance; stainless steel railings are fixed by welding or bolting, and the surface can be brushed or sprayed. Glass railings are paired with metal frames, using tempered or laminated glass, offering transparency and lightness, suitable for modern minimalist styles. Wooden railings undergo anti-corrosion treatment, showcasing natural textures, suitable for rustic or retro architecture. During installation, they must be securely connected to the main building structure. The railing height is typically ≥1.05 meters, and the spacing between posts ≤11 centimeters to ensure child safety. In addition to protection, railings can enrich the building facade's layers through design (such as curved or lattice styles), and some even integrate lighting strips and flower troughs, balancing practicality and decorative needs, making them an indispensable component of residential, hotel, and other buildings.

[0003] For aesthetic and practical reasons, existing residential buildings typically feature open balconies on the exterior of the rooms. These balconies expand living space, provide good ventilation and natural light, and serve as popular areas for drying clothes and enjoying the view. However, for pet owners, open balconies pose a significant risk of pets jumping out. Pets may leap, climb, or vault over them, especially when startled or chasing each other, posing a considerable fall hazard. Falling debris can also pique a pet's curiosity, causing it to grab onto the railings and further increasing the risk of a fall. Some residents have installed safety nets themselves, but due to rudimentary materials and improper installation, these nets not only affect the balcony's appearance but also significantly reduce their protective effectiveness, making it difficult to establish a unified and safe solution.

[0004] Currently, no effective solutions have been proposed for the problems of pets easily jumping out of open balconies and the poor effectiveness and lack of standardization of self-installed protective nets in related technologies. Utility Model Content

[0202] The method of using this utility model is as follows:

[0203] (I) Installation Operation

[0204] Place a bracket element 111 on one side of the balcony railing, at the top of the inner side of the balcony railing, and fix it by expansion bolts.

[0205] Insert one end of the fourth rotating element 141 into the first rotating element 112 of the bracket element 111. Place the other bracket element 111 on the other side of the balcony railing, at the top of the inner side of the balcony railing. Insert the other end of the fourth rotating element 141 into the first rotating element 112 of the other bracket element 111, and fix it with expansion bolts (see reference). Figure 10 (As shown).

[0206] (ii) Drying items

[0207] Pull the frame element 161 upwards, causing it to rotate the railing element 142 upwards along the circumference of the first rotating element 112 until the railing element 142 is parallel to the balcony railing (see reference). Figure 11 (as shown);

[0208] Pull the first support element 121 upward, causing it to drive the first abutting element 122 to rotate upward along the circumference of the second rotating element 114 until the first abutting element 122 abuts against the corresponding second abutting element 152. At this time, the first support element 121 abuts against the second support element 151, thereby supporting the railing element 142.

[0209] Place the object above the railing element 142 to dry it.

[0210] (III) Preventing pets from falling

[0211] Pull the frame element 161 upwards, causing it to drive the railing element 142 to rotate upwards along the circumference of the first rotating element 112 until it reaches its maximum angle (see reference). Figure 12 (as shown);

[0212] Pull the first support element 121 upward, causing it to drive the first abutting element 122 to rotate upward along the circumference of the second rotating element 114 until the first abutting element 122 abuts against the corresponding second abutting element 152. At this time, the first support element 121 abuts against the second support element 151, thereby supporting the railing element 142.

[0213] During the process, the first limiting element 123 is adapted to the corresponding first connecting element 115 (coaxial position), and the second limiting element 131 is twisted to rotate, so that it rotates along the circumference of the first connecting element 115 and moves along the axial direction of the first connecting element 115 towards the first limiting element 123, until the second limiting element is inserted into the first limiting element 123, thereby locking the first support element 121.

[0214] Twist the third limiting element 171 to rotate, so that it rotates along the circumference of the second connecting element 154 and moves along the axial direction of the second connecting element 154 away from the second sliding element 166, until the third limiting element 171 separates from the second sliding element 166.

[0215] Pull the pull plate element 165 outward so that it drives the winding element 163 to rotate along the axial direction of the winding element 163 through the protective element 164, thereby unwinding the protective element 164 wound around the winding element 163.

[0216] During the process, the pull plate element 165 drives the second sliding element 166 to move along the axial direction of the corresponding first sliding element 153 until it moves to a suitable position (after the protective element 164 has been extended to a suitable length). Then, the third limiting element 171 is twisted to rotate, causing it to rotate circumferentially along the second connecting element 154 while moving axially towards the second sliding element 166 until the third limiting element 171 abuts against the second sliding element 166 (refer to...). Figure 12 (As shown).

[0217] (iv) 100% of the new balcony railing structure is designed for storage.

[0218] Twist the third limiting element 171 to rotate, so that it rotates along the circumference of the second connecting element 154 and moves away from the second sliding element 166 along the axial direction of the second connecting element 154 until the third limiting element 171 is separated from the second sliding element 166. At this time, the protective element 164 is retracted to the winding element 163 under the action of the winding element 163.

[0219] Twist the third limiting element 171 to rotate, so that it rotates along the circumference of the second connecting element 154 and moves along the axial direction of the second connecting element 154 toward the second sliding element 166, until the third limiting element 171 abuts against the second sliding element 166.

[0220] Twist the second limiting element 131 to rotate, so that it rotates along the circumference of the first connecting element 115 and moves away from the first limiting element 123 along the axial direction of the first connecting element 115 until the second limiting element is separated from the first limiting element 123, thereby unlocking the first support element 121.

[0221] Pull the frame element 161 upward, causing it to drive the second support element 151 to rotate upward along the circumference of the first rotating element 112;

[0222] During the process, the second supporting element 151 drives the second abutting element 152 to separate from the first abutting element 122. At this time, the first supporting element 121 automatically rotates downward along the circumference of the second rotating element 114 under the action of gravity until the first supporting element 121 rotates to the bottom (located inside the first cavity element 113).

[0223] Pull the frame element 161 downwards, causing it to rotate the railing element 142 downwards along the circumference of the first rotating element 112 until it reaches the bottom (see reference). Figure 10 (As shown).

[0224] The advantages of this utility model are that the cooperation of the bracket unit, the first support unit, and the second support unit limits the unfolding angle of the railing unit, and the railing unit can be adjusted to meet both pet protection and drying needs. The first limiting unit locks the maximum angle of the railing unit to prevent the first support unit from separating from the second support unit due to pet collision. The cooperation of the protective unit and the second limiting unit can expand the protective range after the protective unit is unfolded, providing a protective effect and blocking the path of pet jumping and climbing.
