Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a waterproof door and a waterproof window that open and close by pivoting. Prior Technology

[0002] Currently, most doors and windows on the market use hinges to connect the door panel (or window) and the door frame (or window frame). The hinge has two pieces that pass through a central axis, allowing the two pieces to rotate relative to each other. The two pieces are then secured to the door panel and the door frame with screws, allowing the door panel to pivot relative to the door frame to open or close.

[0003] However, to ensure smooth rotation of the doors and windows, the aforementioned hinges create gaps between the door panel and the frame. Furthermore, holes must be drilled in both the door panel and frame before screws can be used to secure them to the frame. Therefore, in the event of flooding, the gaps between the door panel and frame, as well as the holes in the door panel and frame, will allow water to seep in, failing to achieve effective waterproofing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes a waterproof door and window frame that can prevent water from flowing into the room from the hinges of the door panel (or window) and the door frame (or window frame).

[0005] The waterproof door and window frame proposed in this invention has the following characteristics: An outer frame having a connecting edge and a plurality of frame edges, the connecting edge and the frame edges being connected to form a circle; the connecting edge having: A motherboard; A first sealing plate is formed on the main plate and extends inward toward the outer frame; A first sealing groove is formed at one end of the first sealing plate away from the main plate, and the first sealing groove forms an opening on the outer side of the first sealing plate; A first sealing element is disposed in the first sealing groove; A mounting groove is formed on the first sealing plate and located between the main board and the first sealing groove; the mounting groove has an opening on the outer side of the first sealing plate; A second sealing plate extends inward toward the outer frame and is parallel to the first sealing plate; A second sealing groove is formed at the end of the second sealing plate away from the main plate; the opening direction of the second sealing groove is the same as the opening direction of the first sealing groove. A second sealing element is disposed in the second sealing groove; A support portion that connects the first sealing plate and the second sealing plate; A snap fastener, with a C-shaped cross-section, is fixedly installed in the mounting groove; An inner frame, rotatably disposed inside the connecting edge of the outer frame; the inner frame having: A pivot portion is inserted into the buckle, and the outer wall surface of the pivot portion is in contact with the inner wall surface of the buckle; the inner frame is rotatable relative to the outer frame about the pivot portion as an axis; An outer panel, one end of which is connected to the pivot portion; the inner frame is rotatable until the outer panel is in contact with the first seal; An inner plate is arranged parallel to the outer plate. When the inner frame rotates to the point where the outer plate is in contact with the first sealing element, the inner plate is in contact with the second sealing element.

[0006] The advantage of this invention is that the inner frame is installed in the mounting groove of the outer frame via a snap fastener. The pivot portion of the inner frame fits tightly with the snap fastener, and the snap fastener fits tightly with the mounting groove of the outer frame. Furthermore, the mounting groove is located between the main board and the first sealing groove, thus the pivot portion, snap fastener, and mounting groove are located outside the first sealing element. Therefore, when the door or window is closed, even in heavy rain or flooding outside, the tightly fitting pivot portion, snap fastener, mounting groove, and first sealing element prevent water from flowing into the room, effectively achieving a waterproof effect.

[0007] As described above, the waterproof door and window frame has an inner frame with a door and window body connecting plate that connects the outer panel and the inner panel.

[0008] As described above, the waterproof door and window frame has an inner frame with a door and window body clamping groove formed on the door and window body connecting plate, and the opening of the door and window body clamping groove faces the inner side of the inner frame.

[0009] As described above, the waterproof door and window frame, wherein the inner frame has: A door / window body connecting plate, which connects to the outer panel; A door / window body clamping groove is formed on the door / window body connecting plate, and the opening of the door / window body clamping groove faces the inside of the inner frame.

[0010] As in the waterproof door and window frame described above, the position of the end of the support that connects to the first sealing plate corresponds to the mounting groove.

[0011] As in the aforementioned waterproof door and window frame, the buckle has a locking fastener that passes through the buckle and is locked into the mounting groove of the outer frame.

[0012] As described above, in the waterproof door and window frame, the cross-section of the pivot portion of the inner frame is C-shaped; the C-shaped opening of the buckle is offset from the C-shaped opening of the pivot portion. Simple Explanation of the Diagram

[0013] Figure 1 is a partial three-dimensional schematic diagram of the present invention. Figure 2 is a partial exploded view of the present invention. Figure 3 is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of the present invention in the closed state. Figure 4 is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of the present invention in the open state. Implementation

[0014] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4. This invention proposes a waterproof door and window frame, to which a door panel or window A can be installed. The waterproof door and window frame has an outer frame 10, a buckle 30, and an inner frame 40. The outer frame 10 is installed on the wall of a building, and the door panel or window A is installed within the inner frame 40. The main objective of this invention is to enhance the waterproof capability of the hinge joint between the outer frame 10 and the inner frame 40; therefore, this document and the figures will focus on describing specific embodiments of the hinge joint between the outer frame 10 and the inner frame 40.

[0015] The outer frame 10 has a connecting edge 20 and a plurality of frame edges (not shown). The connecting edge 20 and the frame edges are connected to form a circle, and the connecting edge 20 has a main plate 21, a first sealing plate 22, a first sealing groove 23, a first sealing element 24, a mounting groove 25, a second sealing plate 26, a second sealing groove 27, a second sealing element 28, and a support portion 29. The first sealing plate 22 is formed on the main plate 21 and extends inward toward the outer frame 10. The first sealing groove 23 is formed at the end of the first sealing plate 22 away from the main plate 21, and the first sealing groove 23 forms an opening on the outer side of the first sealing plate 22. The first sealing element 24 is disposed in the first sealing groove 23. The mounting groove 25 is formed on the first sealing plate 22 and is located between the main plate 21 and the first sealing groove 23, and the mounting groove 25 forms an opening on the outer side of the first sealing plate 22. In other words, the opening of the mounting groove 25 and the opening of the first sealing groove 23 face the outer side of the first sealing plate 22.

[0016] The second sealing plate 26 extends inward toward the outer frame 10 and is located inside the first sealing plate 22, spaced parallel to it. A second sealing groove 27 is formed at the end of the second sealing plate 26 away from the main board 21, and the opening direction of the second sealing groove 27 is the same as the opening direction of the first sealing groove 23. A second sealing element 28 is disposed in the second sealing groove 27. In other embodiments, the second sealing plate 26, the second sealing groove 27, and the second sealing element 28 may be omitted, yet a certain degree of water leakage prevention can still be achieved. The support portion 29 connects the first sealing plate 22 and the second sealing plate 26, and the position of the end of the support portion 29 connected to the first sealing plate 22 corresponds to the mounting groove 25. Thus, the support portion 29 can support the mounting groove 25, preventing deformation of the first sealing plate 22 when the door is opened or closed.

[0017] The buckle 30 has a C-shaped cross-section and is fixedly disposed in the mounting groove 25. In this embodiment, the buckle 30 has a locking element 31, such as a screw. The locking element 31 passes through the wall of the mounting groove 25 and the buckle 30 from the inside of the first sealing plate 22, and locks the buckle 30 in the mounting groove 25 of the outer frame 10. In other embodiments, the buckle 30 may be fixed in the mounting groove 25 by adhesive bonding, or the buckle 30 and the mounting groove 25 may be integrally formed, but this is not a limitation.

[0018] The inner frame 40 is rotatably disposed inside the connecting edge 20 of the outer frame 10, and the inner frame 40 has a pivot portion 41, an outer plate 42, an inner plate 43, a door / window body connecting plate 44, and a door / window body clamping groove 45. The pivot portion 41 passes through the buckle 30, and the outer wall surface of the pivot portion 41 is in contact with the inner wall surface of the buckle 30. The inner frame 40 can rotate relative to the outer frame 10 about the pivot portion 41 as an axis. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the pivot portion 41 is C-shaped, thereby giving the pivot portion 41 a certain degree of flexibility. In addition, the C-shaped opening of the buckle 30 and the C-shaped opening of the pivot portion 41 are offset in position to prevent water from flowing into the room from the C-shaped openings of the buckle 30 and the pivot portion 41. One end of the outer plate 42 is connected to the pivot portion 41. The inner frame 40 can rotate until the outer plate 42 is in contact with the first sealing member 24. The inner panel 43 is arranged parallel to the outer panel 42. When the inner frame 40 rotates until the outer panel 42 is in contact with the first sealing element 24, the inner panel 43 is in contact with the second sealing element 28. The door and window body connecting plate 44 connects the outer panel 42 and the inner panel 43. The door and window body clamping groove 45 is formed on the door and window body connecting plate 44, and the opening of the door and window body clamping groove 45 faces the inside of the inner frame 40. The door panel or window A can be installed in the door and window body clamping groove 45 by snap-fitting.

[0019] The advantage of this invention is that the inner frame 40 is installed in the mounting groove 25 of the outer frame 10 through the snap fastener 30. The pivot portion 41 of the inner frame 40 is tightly fitted with the snap fastener 30, and the snap fastener 30 is tightly fitted with the mounting groove 25 of the outer frame 10. The mounting groove 25 is located between the main plate 21 and the first sealing groove 23, so the pivot portion 41, snap fastener 30, and mounting groove 25 are located outside the first sealing member 24. Therefore, when the door panel or window A is closed, even if it rains heavily or floods outside, the tightly fitted pivot portion 41, snap fastener 30, mounting groove 25, and first sealing member 24 can prevent water from flowing into the room, thus achieving a reliable waterproof effect. Furthermore, the fastener 31 passes through the wall of the mounting groove 25 and the snap fastener 30 from the inside of the first sealing plate 22, and the door panel or window A can be installed in the clamping groove 45 of the door / window body in a snap-fit ​​manner. Therefore, the waterproof door / window frame of this invention can prevent water from flowing into the room through the screw lock holes.
