2. Description of Related Arts
In order to guard against theft, people usually close and lock the housing windows while going out or sleeping. Therefore, as no flowing and fresh air exists in the housing, the housing is sweltering and smelly. In order to solve this problem, anti-theft guardrails welded by steel bars appear and become popular. As the anti-theft guardrails are usually installed outside windows, people indoors can not escape from the windows when emergency situation such as fire occurs. In addition, the anti-theft guardrails also constitute a fire barrier and cause a lot of trouble to fire services. Further, since casement windows generally do not include a locking device, the window sashes are easy to be opened or closed violently by strong wind to cause dangers.
Due to significant side effects existing in installing the anti-theft guardrails, people utilize various alarm devices to guard against theft. Currently, the most widely-used alarm device by people is a pyroelectric infrared detector installed on the windows. When someone is invading, the pyroelectric infrared detector detects infrared thermal given off by human body and generates an alarming signal. However, the device is easy to be affected by changes of external factors such as environment, climate and pets and generates false alarms, which has a serious impact on the normally daily life of people.
An object of the present invention is to provide a multi-angle locking window sash, which achieves a function that the window sash is capable of being opened at any angle and positioned at the angle by providing a locking mechanism between the window frame and the window sash, so as to overcome defects existing in conventional casement windows.
Technical solution to realize the present invention is following.
A casement window with multi-angle locking sash, comprises a window frame and a window sash, wherein the window sash accomplishes connecting with the window frame, and opening or closing by a window hinge mechanism and a locking mechanism, and the window sash is capable of locking at any opening or closing angle with the window frame, wherein:
the window hinge mechanism comprises a quadrilateral link mechanism, a movable sliding block, a gear and a hinge base,
wherein the hinge base is fixed on the window frame, a concave sliding groove is provided on the hinge base, the movable sliding block is provided in the concave sliding groove, a wheel axle is provided on the movable sliding block, and a gear is provided on the wheel axle,
wherein the quadrilateral link mechanism comprises a stationary swing rod, a movable swing rod, a link rod and a movable rod, wherein a first end of the stationary swing rod is hinged on the hinge base, a second end of the stationary swing rod is hinged on the movable rod, a first end of the link rod and a first end of the movable swing rod are hinged with the movable sliding block, a second end of the movable swing rod is hinged on the movable rod, a second end of the link rod is hinged with the stationary swing rod, wherein the movable rod is fixed with the window sash;
the locking mechanism comprises a screw rod, an axial plane is provided on the screw rod, a screw thread is provided on a circumferential surface of the screw rod, two ends of the screw rod are respectively hinged on the hinge base via a stationary base, the screw rod accomplishes locking the window sash by engaging the screw thread with the gear on the movable sliding block, and the screw rod accomplishes opening or closing the window sash by rotating the axial plane to correspond to the gear on the movable sliding block.
The technical solution further comprises the following.
Helical teeth are provided on the gear of the movable sliding block, a number of the helical teeth are the same with a modulus of the screw thread on the screw rod, and springs are respectively provided between the two ends of the screw rod and the stationary base.
A rotating wrench for rotating the screw rod is provided on the screw rod.
A first end of the screw rod is connected with a micro-switch, the micro-switch is connected with an alarming circuit, a buzzer, a reed switch and an output terminal block are provided on the alarming circuit.
The alarming circuit comprises a solar panel, a high-capacity rechargeable capacitor or a high-capacity rechargeable battery, the micro-switch, an output terminal block of alarming signal, a reed switch and the buzzer, wherein the solar panel is connected with the high-capacity rechargeable capacitor or the high-capacity rechargeable battery to serve as a supplementary power, an output of a power is in series connection with the buzzer and connected with the micro-switch, the micro-switch not only turns the buzzer on but connects the output terminal block and the reed switch as well. The reed switch is connected in parallel with the output terminal block, so as to process inductive output when the window sash is completely closed.
Beneficial effects of the present invention are following. The casement window with multi-angle locking sash according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is capable of locking at any angle while opening by a mechanical structure, so as to prevent dangers caused by self-opening or closing violently when strong wind appears. Further, the casement window with multi-angle locking sash simultaneously has an alarming function as well. The casement window with multi-angle locking sash has characteristics of simple in structure, low in cost, convenient to install and use, and provides high safety.

Working Principle
When opening or closing the window sash is required, the axial plane 78 of the screw rod 75 is rotated to correspond to the gear 9 of the movable sliding block 10, at this time, the screw rod 75 is not contact with, i.e., detached from, the gear 9, and the window sash can be opened or closed freely; when locking the window sash is required, the screw rod 75 is rotated, in such a manner that the screw thread 77 of the screw rod 75 is engaged with the gear 9, at this time, the window sash is fixed and not capable of being moved.
When the window sash is fixed, if a person forces a movement of the window sash, the screw rod 75 compresses the spring 72, the screw rod contact 71 triggers the micro-switch 14, and the circuit is connected, the alarming signal terminal block 15 is triggered, and the buzzer 11 rings to alarm; when the window sash is completely closed, the reed switch 16 is corresponding to the magnet (not shown in the drawings) provided at the bottom of the window sash and outputs a signal of a normally closed circuit.
