Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of doors and windows, specifically a solar-powered sliding window. Background Technology

[0002] Because the window sash moves along a certain horizontal direction when it opens and closes, it is called a casement window or sliding window.

[0003] Existing sliding windows typically require manual opening and closing, while some sliding windows that can open and close automatically require specially customized guide rail structures and window opening machines, as well as customized window frame profiles for power supply line layout. This makes ordinary sliding windows relatively lacking in terms of automation expansion. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a solar-powered sliding window.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a solar-powered sliding window, comprising a window sash and a window frame, a main unit fixedly mounted on the window frame, and a rack assembly fixedly mounted on the window sash. The main unit includes a housing, a gearbox installed within the housing, and a motor connected to the gearbox. The gearbox has an output shaft and is connected to an output gear. The rack assembly includes a rack body, and the output gear meshes with the rack body to drive the rack body to move. The main unit also includes a solar panel, comprising a solar panel and a bracket. The main unit further includes a battery, with the solar panel mounted on the top of the bracket and connected to the battery. The main unit is mounted on the window frame via the bracket. A rain sensor is located at the top of the housing, and the projection of the solar panel on the horizontal plane is spaced apart from the window sash and intersects with the rain sensor.

[0006] Furthermore, the rack body includes an inner core and an outer casing, the outer casing covers the outside of the inner core, and tooth surfaces are formed on the outer casing for meshing with the output gear; the inner core has a through hole and the outer casing forms a perforation at the through hole, and the rack body is installed on the window sash through the perforation.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer casing forms structural ribs on the outside of the inner core, and the structural ribs are arranged in a serrated pattern along the length of the rack body.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer casing has protruding tenons and recessed connecting grooves at both ends, and the rack assembly has a plurality of rack bodies, which are nested and connected to each other through tenons and connecting grooves; the rack assembly also includes an outer fixing cover, which is fastened and installed on the outside of the rack body, and covers the tenons and connecting grooves between two adjacent rack bodies.

[0009] Furthermore, the horizontal height of the solar panel on the side closer to the window sash is lower than the horizontal height on the side farther from the window sash.

[0010] Furthermore, the bracket includes a base plate, side fixing frames, and rear fixing frames. The base plate is located at the top and is used to support the solar panel. The side fixing frames are fixed on both sides of the base plate and extend downward from the base plate. The rear fixing frames are located on the side of the side fixing frames that are close to the window frame. The housing of the main unit is detachably installed between the side fixing frames. The bracket is installed on the window frame through the rear fixing frames.

[0011] Furthermore, the gearbox is provided with bearings for nesting and mounting output gears, and the output shaft and output gears are indirectly driven; the output gear has a movable cavity inside, and the inner wall of the movable cavity is provided with a recessed limiting groove. A limiting bead is movably disposed in the movable cavity, and a locking block is installed on the output shaft. The locking block rotates with the output shaft and pushes the limiting bead in the movable cavity.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This utility model separates the rack assembly and the main unit on the window sash and the window frame and enables them to drive each other, thus allowing the existing sliding window structure to be easily automated. Furthermore, it uses a built-in battery and solar charging to power the main unit, enabling the device to be used wirelessly. The main unit is equipped with a rain sensor, which uses tilted solar panels to guide rainwater, thus quickly detecting rain and activating the window closing mechanism. The main unit is installed using a bracket, which allows the solar panels to be mounted on the bracket. This separate design from the main unit allows the device to use larger solar panels, with the bracket directly supporting the weight. By employing a clutch structure with a limiting ball and a limiting groove between the output shaft and the output gear of the gearbox, the output gear can drive the rack body to move when needed, and the user can also push the window sash to move it independently without being restricted by the gearbox's self-locking mechanism.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Examples, such as Figures 1-6 As shown: This utility model provides a solar sliding window, the structure of which includes a main unit 1 fixedly installed on the window frame B and a rack assembly 3 fixedly installed on the window sash A. The window sash A is a casement window that is slidably installed on the window frame B. The main unit 1, which is fixed in position, drives the movable rack assembly 3 to move, thereby moving the window sash A which is fixed to the rack assembly 3, thus completing the operation of opening and closing the window.

[0022] The main unit 1 includes a housing 11, a gearbox 12 installed inside the housing 11, and a motor 13 that is connected to the gearbox 12 for transmission. The gearbox 12 is a reduction gearbox 12. The gearbox 12 has an output shaft and is connected to an output gear 15. The gearbox 12 outputs the rotation driven by the motor 13 through the output shaft, thereby driving the output gear 15 to rotate. The main unit 1 also includes a battery 14. The main unit 1 has a motherboard for distributing the power supply of the battery 14 and controlling the rotation of the motor 13. It also has a wireless connection function for communicating with a host computer. The host computer controls the start and stop of the motor 13. The main unit 1 also has a solar panel 2. The solar panel 2 is connected to the battery 14 and is used to charge the battery 14 using solar energy. The gearbox 12 is equipped with bearings for nesting and mounting the output gear 15. The output shaft and the output gear 15 are indirectly driven. Specifically, the output gear 15 has a movable cavity 151 inside. The openings on both sides of the movable cavity 151 are used to nest the bearings. The inner wall of the movable cavity 151 is provided with a recessed limiting groove 152. A limiting bead 18 is movably mounted inside the movable cavity 151. A locking block 17 is mounted on the output shaft. The locking block 17 is strip-shaped and has a clearance fit with the inner wall of the movable cavity 151. The locking block 17 rotates with the output shaft and pushes the limiting bead 18 in the movable cavity 151. When the limiting bead 18 falls into the limiting groove 152, the locking block 17 pushes the limiting bead 18 to drive the output gear 15 to rotate. The gearbox 12 is also provided with a magnetic ring 19. The diameter of the magnetic ring 19 is smaller than that of the movable cavity 151. The limiting bead 18 is a steel ball and can be attracted by the magnetic ring 19. The width of the locking block 17 on the side near the output shaft is greater than the width of the end.

[0023] The rack assembly 3 includes a rack body 31, and an output gear 15 meshes with the rack body 31 to drive the rack body 31 to move. The rack body 31 includes an inner core 311 and an outer casing 312. The outer casing 312 covers the outside of the inner core 311, and tooth surfaces 313 are formed on the outer casing 312 for meshing with the output gear 15. The inner core 311 has a through hole, and the outer casing 312 forms a through hole at the through hole. The rack body 31 is bolted through the through hole and then installed on the window sash A. The rack assembly 3 also includes an adjusting block 33, which is bolted between the rack body 31 and the window sash A to adjust the position of the rack body 31 so that the rack body 31 meshes better with the output gear 15. The outer body 312 forms a structural rib 314 on the outside of the inner core 311. The structural ribs 314 are arranged in a serrated pattern along the length of the rack body 31. The structural ribs 314 are inclined and vertical. The ends of the inclined structural ribs 314 are connected to the vertical structural ribs 314. The outer casing 312 has protruding tenons 316 and recessed connecting grooves 315 at both ends. The rack assembly 3 has several rack bodies 31. In this embodiment, there are two rack bodies 31. The two rack bodies 31 are nested together by tenons 316 and connecting grooves 315. The rack assembly 3 also includes an outer fixing cover 32. The outer fixing cover 32 is fastened to the outside of the rack body 31. The outer fixing cover 32 covers the tenons 316 and connecting grooves 315 between two adjacent rack bodies 31. While covering the rack body 31 from top to bottom, the outer fixing cover 32 also helps to stabilize the connection of the rack body 31.

[0024] The solar module 2 includes a solar panel 21 and a bracket 22. The solar panel 21 is mounted on the top of the bracket 22 and connected to the battery 14. The main unit 1 is mounted on the window frame B via the bracket 22. The bracket 22 includes a base plate 221, a side fixing bracket 222, and a rear extension fixing bracket 223. The base plate 221 is located at the top and is used to support the solar panel 21. The side fixing bracket 222 is fixed on both sides of the base plate 221 and extends downward from both sides of the base plate 221. The rear extension fixing bracket 223 is located on the vertical side of the side fixing bracket 222 toward the window frame B and extends inward. The housing 11 of the main unit 1 is detachably mounted between the side fixing brackets 222 by bolts. The bracket 22 is mounted on the window frame B via the rear extension fixing bracket 223.

[0025] The top of the outer casing 11 is equipped with a rain sensor 16, which is a water immersion sensor, specifically a capacitive water immersion sensor. It uses the capacitance effect to detect the presence of rainwater. A capacitor is formed between the two plates of the sensor. When rainwater comes into contact with the sensor, it causes the capacitance value to change. The rain sensor 16 is connected to the main board of the host 1. When rainwater is detected, the motor 13 is started to drive the window sash A to close. The projection of the solar panel 21 on the horizontal plane is spaced from the window sash A and intersects with the rain sensor 16.

[0026] It should be noted that, since the sliding window is usually installed with a window sill or other obstruction above it, the horizontal height of the solar panel 21 on the side closer to window sash A is lower than the horizontal height on the side farther from window sash A. This allows rainwater to collect towards the rain sensor 16 when it falls, so that the rain sensor 16 can detect the rainwater more quickly.

[0027] In this embodiment, the rack assembly 3 is bolted to the existing window sash A, and the bracket 22 is fixed to the existing window frame B. The main unit 1 is then mounted on the bracket 22, and the meshing state of the output gear 15 and the rack body 31 is adjusted to adapt to the existing casement window structure. The solar panel 21 is electrically connected to the main board, and the solar energy is converted into the chemical energy of the battery 14 for storage. When the window needs to be closed, the mobile phone acts as the host computer to communicate with the main board and control the motor 13 to start. In rainy weather, rainwater drips from the solar panel 21 onto the rain sensor 16. The main board receives the electrical signal and controls the motor 13 to start. The motor 13 drives the gearbox 12 to start, and the output shaft of the gearbox 12 rotates to drive the gearbox. When block 17 rotates, it pushes the limiting bead 18 within the movable cavity 151. Since the width of the middle part of block 17 is greater than that of the end, the resultant force when pushing the limiting bead 18 will cause the trajectory of the limiting bead 18 to move outward, so that it can fall into the limiting groove 152 better. When the limiting bead 18 falls into the limiting groove 152, block 17 pushes the limiting bead 18 to drive the output gear 15 to rotate, thereby driving the rack body 31 to move, and then driving the window sash A to move. After moving into place, the output shaft drives block 17 to rotate back a small arc, so that the limiting bead 18 is attracted by the magnetic ring 19 and disengages from the limiting groove 152. At this time, when the window sash A is manually pushed to drive the rack body 31 to drive the output gear 15 to rotate, the output gear 15 will not be restricted by the self-locking of the gearbox 12, allowing the user to control it manually.

[0028] 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.
