Description

1 TARIFF INSULATION AND SLIDING PERFORMANCE IN MOVING MECHANISMS A thermoplastic flexible wick that enhances performance. Technical Area The invention relates to 5 movable mechanisms for doors, windows, sliding glass balconies and similar applications. in sealing systems used, especially for insulation and sliding of moving parts improving performance, in the construction sector and within the building equipment industry, offering technical solutions for insulation materials and moving mechanisms. It involves a flexible wick. Previous Tech 10 Door, window and sliding glass balcony systems are used in both residential and commercial areas. They are structural elements commonly used to provide both functionality and aesthetics. Seals are used in sliding parts to ensure the smooth operation of moving parts. It should glide smoothly over the surface. It should minimize the passage of air, water, dust, and noise. It should increase user comfort and provide insulation. In the selection of gaskets, 15 The compatibility of the materials used with moving parts and their insulation performance are the most important. These are important criteria. Traditional sliding systems typically use the following materials: • PVC: Although it is an inexpensive and common material, in sliding systems It makes mobility difficult. 20 • Plastic Seals: While offering a more rigid structure, they lack flexibility. It is prone to deformation due to this and is not sufficiently effective in terms of insulation. It is not. • Bristle Seals: They restrict movement and have poor insulation performance. Because of this, it is insufficient in preventing the passage of water, air, and dust. The bristle wicks are 25 Due to its structure, air passage through the gaps formed in the hair follicles cannot be prevented. Hair Wicks are generally made of metal (aluminum or steel wire), plastic and textile (nylon, It consists of polyester components. These different materials Because they are difficult to separate, they are not suitable for recycling. (Fur wicks) Over time, it becomes covered with substances such as dust, dirt, and oil. This contamination is a problem for recycling. 30 It complicates the process and cleaning it is not economically efficient. 2 The following problems are common in traditional systems: Problems with mobility are observed: PVC, plastic, bristle wicks, movement due to surface friction when it comes into contact with the sliding mechanism It makes things more difficult. Wear and Deformation: Plastic seals undergo mechanical wear over time and 5 It prevents the moving parts from functioning properly. Lack of Compatibility: With various materials (e.g., aluminum or wood) Incompatible seals during integration, performance issues in sliding systems. It causes losses. Deficiencies in Insulation Performance; 10 Air and Water Permeability: Due to their low density, bristle fibers provide sufficient compression. This is impossible, which reduces water and air tightness. Thermal and Sound Insulation: Thermal and acoustic insulation using traditional materials. Its performance is limited. Durability Issues: PVC or plastic gaskets are resistant to temperature changes. When left untreated, they lose their flexibility, leading to problems such as cracking and breaking. It is possible. Functional Problems; Wick Dislodgement or Protrusion: Hair wicks can become dislodged over time. It negatively affects functionality. 20 Short Lifespan: Materials like PVC, when exposed to UV rays and chemicals... It deteriorates quickly, requiring frequent replacement. Traditional systems are generally designed to serve a single purpose. The priorities of these systems are either mobility or insulation performance. However, a solution that is sufficient to meet both needs simultaneously is needed. 25 It cannot be presented. Commonly used brush seals in the industry provide mobility but not insulation. It largely neglects its performance. In modern building materials Despite advancements, current solutions fail to provide users with long-lasting, low-maintenance solutions. 3 fully meeting the demand for a high-performance system. It cannot meet the demand. Brief Description of the Invention The invention relates to 5 applications used in movable mechanisms such as doors, windows, and sliding glass balconies. It relates to wicking systems. The invention improves the sliding performance of moving parts. It was also developed to provide a high level of insulation. The invention, by its very nature, prevents air permeability in its areas of use, therefore it has a high... It provides a high level of energy savings, especially in areas where heat loss is likely. It provides a very important benefit in its areas of application. 10 Our invention incorporates an innovative three-layered wick structure. Bottom in the layer, that is, in the section that leads to the channel where the sliding process will take place, silicone The system's durability has been increased by using a thermoplastic material based on a medium profile. Deformation is minimized with silicone or thermoplastic elastomer material in the layer. It has been lowered and a surface has been created that completely prevents air permeability. 15 The top layer consists of silicone-based thermoplastic nails and a wick on the surface. By providing lubrication, it ensures the smooth operation of moving mechanisms. It makes it possible. The invention enhances the mobility of sliding systems while preventing the passage of air, water, dust, and temperature. It provides superior insulation against changes. 20 In this context, the invention covers products manufactured from aluminum, PVC, wood, and similar materials. building elements that offer both high insulation performance and mobility. It relates to the wick structures that provide this. Our product is made of thermoplastic, silicone and elastic materials.
