Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a window frame suitable for multiple installation methods. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the building decoration industry, window frames are not only an important part of the building structure, but also undertake multiple functions such as aesthetics, sound insulation, and heat preservation. In modern home design, window frames must not only meet basic installation and usage requirements, but also adapt to diverse installation methods and decorative styles. Especially in terms of curtain installation, higher requirements are placed on the functionality of window frames.
[0003] Traditional window frames typically consist of a horizontal beam and side rails, assembled into a single structure through simple splicing or welding. However, this structure has several shortcomings in practical applications. The installation methods for traditional window frames are relatively limited, usually only allowing for one or two fixed installation methods, making it difficult to flexibly adapt to different wall structures and installation requirements. Currently, window frame installation methods are mainly divided into three types: internal mounting, internal top mounting, and external mounting. Internal mounting refers to installing the window frame inside the window opening within the wall, typically used for regular indoor curtain installation; internal top mounting installs the window frame at the top of the wall, suitable for balconies or bay windows with certain special structures; and external mounting installs the window frame on the outside of the wall, commonly used for externally hung curtains or curtain wall systems. Different building structures and different usage scenarios place differentiated requirements on window frame installation methods, and due to the limitations of their structural design, traditional window frames often cannot flexibly switch between these three installation methods, thus limiting their applicability.

[0028] (Example 1)
[0029] See Figure 1-4 This embodiment of a window frame suitable for multiple installation methods includes a horizontal beam 1, side rails 2, and corner connectors 3. Adjacent horizontal beams 1 and side rails 2 are detachably connected via corner connectors 3. In this embodiment, there are two horizontal beams 1 and two side rails 2, and four corner connectors 3. After connection, they form a rectangular window frame. The horizontal beams 1 and side rails 2 have similar overall shapes, differing only in length. The length of the horizontal beam 1 corresponds to the width of the curtain, and the length of the side rail 2 corresponds to the height of the curtain. Grooves 4 are provided on the side of the horizontal beam 1 and side rail 2 facing the curtain. The upper beam of the curtain is fixed to the groove 4 of the top horizontal beam 1 by mounting brackets. When the curtain is fully opened, the lower beam is located in the groove 4 of the bottom horizontal beam 1. During the opening and closing of the curtain, the two ends of the lower beam move up and down within the grooves 4 of the side rails 2 on both sides, ensuring that the curtain moves within the window frame and preventing the curtain from swaying and making impact noise in the wind. Both the crossbeam 1 and the side rail 2 include a frame 1-1 and a frame cover plate 1-2. The frame 1-1 has a first cavity 1-1-1 and a second cavity 1-1-2 arranged sequentially along the thickness direction (which is also the thickness direction of the curtain). The first cavity 1-1-1 has an opening on the side opposite to the second cavity 1-1-2. The frame cover plate 1-2 covers the opening. Screws pass through the second cavity 1-1-2 to fix the window frame to the wall.
[0030] A snap-fit groove 1-1-1-1 is provided on the inner sidewall of the first cavity 1-1-1, and a snap-fit strip 1-2-1 that can extend into the first cavity 1-1-1 is provided on the frame cover plate 1-2. As a preferred embodiment, the opening of the first cavity 1-1-1 is provided with an inclined surface 1-1-1-2 to facilitate the insertion of the snap-fit strip 1-2-1. When the frame cover plate 1-2 is closed with the frame 1-1, the snap-fit strip 1-2-1 engages with the snap-fit groove 1-1-1-1. The frame cover plate 1-2 is closed by snap-fitting with the frame 1-1. When installing externally, it is only necessary to open the frame cover plate 1-2, fix it with screws, and then close the frame cover plate 1-2. The installation is convenient, and there are no screws on the outer surface after installation, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
[0031] The outer corner of the corner connector 3 is either rounded or right-angled. Depending on the installation environment, the outer side is designed with rounded corners for safety considerations, while the inner top and inner side are designed with right-angled corners.
[0032] The corner connector 3 is inserted into the crossbeam 1 and the side rail 2, and is fixed with screws. Specifically, the two sides of the corner connector 3 are divided at 90°, and each end is provided with a plug-in block 3-1. The plug-in block 3-1 cooperates with the second cavity 1-1-2. When the plug-in block 3-1 is in the second cavity 1-1-2, the frame cover plate 1-2 is opened, and a screw is driven into the first cavity 1-1-1. The screw passes through the bottom of the first cavity 1-1-1 and the plug-in block 3-1 in sequence.
[0033] A fixing protrusion 1-1-2-1 is provided on the side wall near the groove in the second cavity 1-1-2. The fixing protrusion 1-1-2-1 facilitates the fixing of the mounting bracket inside the window frame, making it convenient for the installation of the curtain.
[0034] The window frame of this embodiment is compatible with three installation modes: top mounting, side mounting, and side mounting. The installation method of this utility model is as follows: First, the two horizontal beams 1 and two side rails 2 are fixed into a window frame using four corner connectors 3. For top or side mounting, the window frame is fixed to the wall directly by screws passing through the grooves 4 of the horizontal beams 1 and side rails 2 into the second cavity 1-1-2. For side mounting, the frame cover plate 1-2 is first opened, screws are driven into the first cavity 1-1-1, and the window frame is fixed to the wall by the screws passing through the second cavity 1-1-2. Then, the frame cover plate 1-2 is replaced.
[0035] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
