[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] Examples, such as Figures 1-5 As shown: This utility model provides a solar-powered lift-up window, the structure of which includes a window frame 2 fixed to the building and a lift-up window sash 1 hinged to the window frame 2. The lift-up window sash 1 is opened and closed by swinging up and down. A window opener 4 is connected between the other end of the lift-up window sash 1 and the window frame 2 at the hinge connection. The window opener 4 is installed on the window frame 2 or the building through a bracket assembly 5.

[0026] The window opener 4 includes a housing 41 and a motor 42 and a screw 43 installed inside the housing 41. The screw 43 is connected to the motor 42 and is driven to rotate by the motor 42. A telescopic arm 44 is nested at the front end of the housing 41 and is threadedly connected to the screw 43. The screw 43 rotates to drive the telescopic arm 44 to extend out of the housing 41. It is known that a pin structure is provided between the telescopic arm 44 and the housing 41 to limit the degree of freedom of rotation of the telescopic arm 44 inside the housing 41, so that the telescopic arm 44 retains the degree of freedom of axial movement inside the housing 41. A solar panel 3 is provided at the top of the window opener 4. The solar panel 3 includes a protective cover 31 and a solar panel 32 fixed at the top of the protective cover 31. The solar panel 32 is electrically connected to the window opener 4. Specifically, a main control board 45 and a battery 46 are also provided inside the housing 41 for electrical connection with the solar panel 32. The battery 46 is charged through the solar panel 32.

[0027] In this embodiment, the outer shell 41 is elongated, and the protective cover 31 is elongated and grooved, covering the outer shell 41 from top to bottom. The length of the protective cover 31 is greater than the length of the outer shell 41. The length directions of both the outer shell 41 and the protective cover 31 are perpendicular to the lifting window sash 1, so that the moving direction of the telescopic arm 44 is the direction that drives the lifting window sash 1 to open or close. The solar panel 32 is laid along the length direction of the protective cover 31.

[0028] The bracket assembly 5 includes several buckles 51, which are clamped on both sides of the window opener 4 and connected to each other by locking bolts 511. There is a gap between the buckles 51 that are engaged. The area where the buckles 51 are connected by the locking bolts 511 is located at the upper and lower ends. The outer side of the buckle 51 is detachably installed in the protective cover 31, specifically by connecting it to the protective cover 31 through side fixing bolts 512.

[0029] The bracket assembly 5 also includes an extension frame 52 and a base frame 54. The extension frame 52 is engaged in the gap at the lower end of the buckle 51, and the base frame 54 is fixed to the window frame 2 or the building body. The extension frame 52 and the base frame 54 are oscillatingly connected. The bottom end of the extension frame 52 is provided with a rotating shaft 53 extending to both sides. The base frame 54 has two structural walls that cooperate with the rotating shafts 53 on both sides. The rotating shafts 53 are installed and limited from both sides of the extension frame 52. The base frame 54 is provided with a horizontally strip-shaped limiting groove 541. The limiting groove 541 is a spare space for the extension frame 52 to move. The rotating shaft 53 passes through the limiting groove 541 so that the extension frame 52 is installed on the base frame 54.

[0030] In this embodiment, a stabilizing component 55 is also provided between the extension frame 52 and the base frame 54. The stabilizing component 55 includes an adjusting seat 551, a fixed seat 552 and a spring 553. The adjusting seat 551 is detachably mounted on the base frame 54. The adjusting seat 551 has a strip-shaped slot along the direction of the limiting base groove 541. The fixed seat 552 is provided on both sides and between the adjusting seat 551 and the spring 553. The rotating shaft 53 passes through the strip-shaped slot of the adjusting seat 551 and is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 552.

[0031] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 53 is stepped, and the width of the strip-shaped slot is greater than the diameter of the rotating shaft 53. The rotating shaft 53 has a narrow step 531, and the diameter of the section from the narrow step 531 to the outer end of the rotating shaft 53 is smaller than the diameter of the other side of the narrow step 531. The narrow step 531 abuts against the fixed seat 552, and the end of the rotating shaft 53 is retracted and fixed to the fixed seat 552 by the fixed nut 554, so that the fixed seat 552, the rotating shaft 53 and the extension frame 52 are fixed into a whole, allowing this whole to be buffered by the spring 553, and at the same time, allowing this whole to adjust the working position according to the installation position of the adjusting seat 551.

[0032] Furthermore, the adjusting seat 551 is fixedly connected to the base frame 54 by bolts. The base frame 54 is provided with several bolt holes for adjusting the fixed position of the adjusting seat 551. In this embodiment, bolt through holes are provided at the four corners of the adjusting seat 551 for bolts to pass through and fix to the base frame 54. The base frame 54 is provided with bolt holes at different intervals in two diagonal directions. During installation, only the bolts at the diagonal positions are installed on the adjusting seat 551.

[0033] In this embodiment, the window opener 4 and the solar panel 3 are connected by the bracket assembly 5. The base frame 54 is fixedly installed on the building. Then, the rotating shaft 53 at the bottom of the extension frame 52 passes through the limiting base grooves 541 on both sides to lock and fix it to the fixed seat 552. At this time, the adjusting seat 551 is not yet installed on the base frame 54. First, the telescopic arm 44 is movably connected to the lifting window sash 1, such as by connecting through the hinge seat. Then, the position of the window opener 4 is adjusted by extending and retracting the telescopic arm 44. After determining the appropriate position, the adjusting seat 551 is fixedly installed on the base frame 54 with bolts. The bracket assembly 5 is used to connect the solar panel 3 and the building to the outside of the window opener 4, which is convenient for use and maintenance.

[0034] During use, the solar panel 32 charges the battery 46. The main control board 45 is used to distribute the power supply of the battery 46 and control the rotation of the motor 42. It also has a wireless connection function for communication with the host computer. When the window needs to be opened, the host computer, such as a mobile phone, controls the motor 42 to start. The motor 42 drives the screw 43 to rotate, causing the telescopic arm 44 to extend from the outer shell 41 and push the upward-opening window sash 1 out of the window frame 2. The same applies to closing. The stabilizing component 55 alleviates and adapts to the vibration and deflection of the window opener 4, reducing the loosening and deformation of the window opener 4 due to vibration and deflection during long-term opening and closing.

[0035] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
