The present disclosure relates to the technical field of door and window manufacturing, and more particularly relates to a sliding door or window provided with a swing fastening mechanism.
Sliding doors or windows have been widely used, such as a sliding door mounted between a kitchen and a living room in home, a partition door in an office, a balcony door, a factory window, a home window, and so on. A sliding door or window mainly includes a door or window body. In a better product, a pulley is arranged under the door or window body to operate in cooperation with a guide rail disposed on the door or window, thereby making opening the door/window be a labor-saving and convenient operation. Such form of product has many advantages over the traditional door or window products. Nevertheless, there exists a big drawback in that a certain amount of leeway may be present between the door/window and the frame or between the pulley and the guide rail, such that a crashing sound may occur when a strong wind is blowing or an external force is colliding to the door/window. Moreover, a long-term collision is likely to break the glass or damage the door/window. Meanwhile, the sound insulation effect is not satisfactory due to insufficient sealing. The technical problem sought to be solved by the present disclosure is therefore to ensure the sealing and fastening performances between the door/window body and the door/window frame.

Referring to
Of course, with the same principle, the swing fastening mechanism 9100 of the embodiment 1 may also be used in the sliding door. The principles of fastening and sealing are as above, and will not be described in detail again.
To better apply the swing fastening mechanism 9100 to the door or window, in the present disclosure, as shown in
The fixed base 1 is provided with a first cavity body. One end of the swing piece 12 is provided with a guide wheel configured to be mounted on a guide rail on an upper side of the door or window frame, and the other end of the swing piece 12 extends into and is hinged in the first cavity body of the fixed base 1. The swing piece 12 includes two identical swing plates 128 and a square shaft 126 disposed between the two swing plates 128. The two swing plates 128 are symmetrically disposed on two sides of one end of the square shaft. The swing plates 128 and the square shaft 126 are screwed together by a first screw 206 and are further hinged in the first cavity body of the fixed base 1 via a rotating shaft 201. In this way, it can be realized that the swing plates 128 and the square shaft 126 is fixedly connected into a whole, and the whole composed of the swing plates 128 and the square shaft 126 can rotate around the rotation shaft 201. One end of the square shaft 126 extends out of the swing plates 128, and the guide wheel 122 is disposed at this end. One end of the guide wheel 122 facing away from the square shaft 126 is further provided with a muffling spacer 125 that may reduce noise generated by friction or impact between the end of the guide wheel 122 and the door or window frame during rolling of the guide wheel 122. Each of the swing plates 128 has one end not attached to the square shaft 126, and this end of each of the swing plates 128 is provided with a snakelike groove 130. A linkage piece 5 is further disposed between the two swing plates 128. After a limit shaft 52 extends through the linkage piece 5, two ends of the limit shaft 52 are disposed in the snakelike grooves 130 of the swinging plates 128 to achieve that the limit shaft 52 move along the snakelike grooves 130 together with the linkage piece 5. Moreover, during the movement, the limit shaft 52 and the linkage piece 5 may just move linearly. However, the grooves of the snakelike grooves 130 are similar to an “S” shape, so the swinging plates 128 and the square shaft 126 are forced to rotate around the rotating shaft 201 during the linear movement of the limit shaft 52 and the linkage piece 5 in the cavity of the fixed base 1.
Further, the first connection assembly 4 is fixedly connected to an end of the linkage piece 5 facing away from the limit shaft 52. The first connection assembly includes a first connection piece 41 and a first transmission piece 42. The first connection piece 41 is screwed onto the linkage piece 5 via a screw 206, and the first transmission piece 42 is screwed onto the linkage piece 5 via a screw, so that it is realized that the first connection piece 41 and the first transmission piece 42 are fixedly connected to the linkage piece 5. The second connection assembly 3 includes a second connection piece 31 and a second transmission piece 32, and the second connection piece 31 is screwed onto the second transmission piece 32 via the screw 206. The right-angled connection casing 2 is provided with a cavity for the transmission belt 6 to extend through. The transmission belt 6 is inserted in the cavity. The first transmission piece 42 and the second transmission piece 32 are connected by the flexible transmission belt 6 so as to achieve a linkage of the first transmission piece 42, the transmission belt 6 and the second transmission piece 32, and then achieve a linkage of the linkage piece 5, the first connection assembly 4, the transmission belt 6 and the second connection assembly 3. The first connection assembly 4 and the second connection assembly 3 are connected to the handle of the window. A person applies a force to the handle, the handle is rotated and drives the first linkage assembly 4 and the second linkage assembly 3. The handle can also be rotated in a reverse direction, and thus the first linkage assembly 4 and the second linkage assembly 3 can be driven in the reverse direction.
Further, one end of the right-angled connection casing 2 is provided with a first sliding groove along which the first transmission piece 42 may move, and the other end of the right-angled connection casing 2 is provided with a second sliding groove along which the second transmission piece 32 may move.
Further, a first shock-absorbing muffling spacer 43 is disposed at one end of the first connection piece 41 facing away from the right-angled connection casing 2 for preventing noise generated by impact or friction between the first connection piece 41 and the door or window during the movement of the first connection piece 41. A second shock-absorbing muffling spacer 33 is disposed at one end of the second connection piece 31 facing away from the right-angled connection casing 2 for preventing noise generated by impact or friction between the second connection piece 31 and the door or window during the movement of the second connection piece 31.
The working principle of the present disclosure is described as follows. The guide wheel 122 is disposed in the guide rail 502 of the window mounting frame, and the fixed base 1 and the right-angled connection casing are fixed on the window frame 501. The first connection assembly 4 and the second connection assembly 3 are connected to the handle. The connection mode of the above connection may be that: the first connection assembly 4 is connected to one end of the handle via a steel wire, and the second connection assembly 3 is connected to the other end of the handle via another steel wire. In response to determining that the handle rotates around the center thereof, the first connection assembly 4 and the second connection assembly 3 may be driven to move respectively along the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove.
In response to determining that the window is in an unlocked state, referring to
In response to transforming the window from an unlock state to a locked state, the handle is rotated and the second connection assembly 3 is driven by the handle to move in a direction away from the right-angled connection casing 2. The second connection assembly 3 and the first connection assembly 4 are linked, so the first connection assembly 4 moves upward, the linkage piece 5 is driven by the first connection assembly 4 to move upward, and the limit shaft 52 is driven by the linkage piece 5 to move upward along the snakelike groove 130. Since the linkage piece 5 can just do linear motion, the swing piece 12 is forced to move laterally. However, the swing piece 12 and a mounting outer frame of the window are fixed in a lateral direction and cannot be movable, so relatively speaking, just the window frame 501 connected to the fixed base 1 may be moved laterally as a whole. After the lateral movement, the window frame 501 is pressed against the sealing strip 503. The window is then in the locked state.
In response to determining that the window is in the locked state, referring to
For the above-mentioned locked and unlocked states, it should be illustrated that in the unlocked state, the limit shaft 52 is not necessarily located at the lower end of the snakelike groove 13, but may be located at the upper end of the snakelike groove 130. This may be changed depending on situations.
