Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of general structure technology for awning windows, specifically a general structure for Australian-style awning windows. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the domestic door and window market has been highly competitive and relatively saturated. Some manufacturers have gradually developed the Australian and other overseas markets. However, Australian doors and windows are divided into commercial and residential categories, with awning windows accounting for a large proportion. Due to the different profiles required for different markets and different window types, the profiles are complex and diverse, making processing inconvenient.
[0003] Traditional awning windows typically use four-bar hinges or latches for connection; these structures generally suffer from uneven stress distribution, poor water and air tightness, and cumbersome installation. The current design uses an integrated horizontal beam hook design, improving overall stress distribution, ensuring a tighter fit between the outer frame and the operable sash, enhancing sealing performance, and incorporating anti-detachment protrusions. This completely eliminates concerns about wear and tear on hinges or latches. Combined with a hand-cranked window opener, opening is convenient and smooth, and a detachable screen sash is added.
[0004] When awning windows are used in commercial buildings, which are mainly brick wall structures, a sub-frame structure is adopted. The sub-frame is connected to the wall and can be fixed in advance. The unitized whole window is then fixed to the sub-frame and splicing profile. The unitized whole window can be decomposed into several small unit windows, which are sealed and connected by rubber strips after installation.
[0005] When awning windows are used in residential buildings, which are mainly wooden structures, it is common practice to pre-connect and fix the wooden boards to the entire window frame. However, due to the different installation methods for commercial and residential profiles, the profiles are not interchangeable, making processing troublesome and increasing costs. Therefore, this new structure adds wooden board slots to improve the utilization rate of the profiles; and adds a groove for the rubber strip on the exterior part, with a rubber strip seal and a water-draining and water-blocking adhesive at the bottom; if it is necessary to convert to commercial use, an edge sealing cap is added, which also improves the overall strength of the outer frame. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a universal structure for Australian-style awning windows, which improves the versatility to meet market demands through profile design and installation accessories, and has the advantages of improving the convenience and speed of production, installation, use and after-sales service, thus solving the problems in the prior art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] An Australian-style awning window universal structure includes a sub-frame and a lower sub-frame. The upper and lower sub-frames are arranged opposite each other to form the basic frame structure of the door and window. An end cap is installed on the outer side of the upper sub-frame. Sealing and fixing strips are installed on the outer sides of both the upper and lower sub-frames. A screen base is installed on the inner side of the lower sub-frame at a corresponding position on the indoor side. A detachable screen is installed on the screen base. A screen limiter is installed on the detachable screen. A handle-type window opener is installed on the lower sub-frame at a corresponding position on the indoor side of the window body for opening and closing the door and window sash.
[0009] Preferably, a sealing water-blocking strip is installed on the outer side of the upper sub-frame at a corresponding position on the lower part of the outdoor side door and window.
[0010] It is worth noting that: sealing strips prevent outdoor rainwater from flowing back into the room through the gaps at the bottom of doors and windows, forming the first line of defense against water damage; however, it is important to ensure that the material of the sealing strip is weather-resistant and anti-aging, such as EPDM rubber, to avoid failure due to long-term exposure to wind and rain.
[0011] Preferably, the outer side of the upper sub-frame is equipped with a windproof and dustproof sheet located at the corresponding position of the door or window to block outdoor dust and other debris from entering the room.
[0012] It is worth noting that windproof and dustproof sheets can block dust, sand and other impurities carried by outdoor airflow from entering the room, while also helping to reduce the direct impact of strong winds on door and window gaps; however, it is important to ensure that the material of the windproof and dustproof sheets has a certain degree of toughness to prevent deformation or breakage under the impact of strong winds.
[0013] Preferably, both the upper and lower sub-frames have wooden board slots on their inner sides for fitting and engaging with the corresponding installation parts of the wooden building wall.
[0014] It is worth noting that the wooden board slot is an optimized connection method for the characteristics of wooden building walls, which improves installation stability and simplifies the installation process, reducing damage to the wooden walls. However, it is necessary to allow space for thermal expansion and contraction of the wooden walls during installation to prevent deformation from squeezing the door and window structures.
[0015] Preferably, a sealing strip is installed on the outer side of the upper sub-frame, which is located after the door / window and the wooden building wall are connected by a wooden board groove for sealing.
[0016] It is worth noting that sealing strips can prevent air, moisture, and dust from being transmitted through the joints, thus improving insulation, moisture-proofing, and dust-proofing performance. However, it is important to select sealing strips made of materials with appropriate elasticity based on the expansion and contraction characteristics of the wooden wall to avoid excessive compression or stretching of the strips due to wood deformation, which could lead to their failure.
[0017] Preferably, a sealing and water-blocking strip is installed on the outer side of the lower sub-frame to enhance the sealing and water-blocking properties of the connection between doors / windows and walls in wooden building scenarios.
[0018] It is worth noting that the sealing water-blocking strip works in conjunction with the sealing water-blocking strip to provide double protection for waterproofing, protecting the bottom of the wooden wall from rainwater erosion and extending the service life of the wooden building; however, it is important to note that the material of the sealing water-blocking strip must be water-resistant and mildew-resistant to prevent mold growth after long-term contact with moisture, which would affect the performance of the wood.
[0019] Preferably, a snap-fit post is installed between the upper and lower sub-frames at the center of the interior door or window.
[0020] It is worth noting that: the snap-fit posts can enhance the overall structural strength of doors and windows, especially the wind pressure resistance of large doors and windows; the snap-fit design simplifies the installation or disassembly process of the door and window and facilitates maintenance; however, it is important to note that the engagement depth of the snap-fit should be moderate. If it is too shallow, it is easy to fall off, and if it is too deep, it may cause the door and window to get stuck when opening or closing.
[0021] Preferably, hooks are installed between the upper and lower sub-frames at corresponding positions on the outdoor doors and windows.
[0022] It is worth noting that hooks can enhance the locking force between the door and window frame when the door or window is closed, thereby improving sealing performance and anti-theft capabilities; however, the shape of the hooks should be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0024] In this utility model, the upper and lower sub-frames form a complete frame structure, enhancing the overall rigidity of the doors and windows, improving wind pressure resistance and deformation resistance, and adapting to the installation needs of different building opening sizes. The end cap adopts a modular design, making installation convenient. Matching styles can be selected according to the overall style of the doors and windows, enhancing the product's aesthetics and detail texture, reducing cleaning and maintenance costs, and simultaneously enhancing the sealing effect of the upper part of the doors and windows, indirectly improving thermal insulation performance. The sealing and fixing strip can fill the gaps between the frame and the sash, as well as the building structure, blocking the penetration paths of air, rainwater, and dust. The detachable screen can be quickly installed and removed via the screen base without disassembling the entire screen frame, allowing for single-person installation and removal, adapting to different seasonal usage needs. The handle-type window opener enables the opening, closing, and angle adjustment of the door and window sash, saving effort and providing precise control. Its ergonomic design makes it comfortable to hold and requires minimal operating force, suitable for the elderly and children. It can lock any opening angle to meet ventilation and safety needs. The hook enhances the locking force between the sash and the frame when the doors and windows are closed, improving sealing performance and anti-theft capabilities. Attached Figure Description
