The present invention pertains to the technical field of door and window hardware, and particularly relates to a transmission system allowing a window to be opened in three directions.
At present, windows generally used in domestic buildings are basically casement windows, sliding windows (i.e., translating windows) and various hopper windows, as well as drifting windows and inward tilt-turn windows emerged in the later period. The so-called drifting window is a sliding window added with an inward tilting function. The so-called inward tilt-turn window is a casement window added with an inward tilting function.
The sliding window has been basically eliminated due to its poor air tightness and water tightness, and a failure of completely scrubbing its fixed glass outdoor side. The casement window (the casement window herein refers to an in-swinging casement window) has been criticized for occupying an indoor usable area and being prone to colliding with people. The drifting window still fails to solve the problem of glass scrubbing. The inward tilt-turn window also fails to solve its inherent problems caused during huge ventilation.
There is also a problem of inward tilt opening. Firstly, the opening degree is too small and the ventilation is insufficient; secondly, the opening degree is non-adjustable and cannot be chosen; and thirdly, an upper edge of a window sash lacks fixing points, causing potential safety concerns.
Therefore, there is a need for a window allowing to be opened in three directions, and this window is convenient to open, can be opened at a large angle in case of inward tilting, and can be inwardly opened, inwardly tilted, and pushed and pulled. The core of opening and closing the window allowing to be opened in three directions lies in its equipped hardware and mutual cooperation between the hardware. Therefore, a transmission system allowing a window to be opened in three directions is proposed.
An objective of the present invention is to provide a transmission system allowing a window to be opened in three directions, which can realize opening and closing of a window sash in three directions, i.e., inward tilting, inward translating and push-pull. The opening degree of the window sash can be adjusted in a state of inward tilt opening, and the problem of metal fatigue of hardware and the problem of disengagement of the window sash are effectively solved.
The present invention provides the following technical solution: a transmission system allowing a window to be opened in three directions includes a door hinge assembly, a guide wheel assembly, a lock assembly, a wind brace, a handle, a first transmission lever, a second transmission lever, an angle converter, a first gear tooth combination, a second gear tooth combination a and a second gear tooth combination b, wherein the angle converter is connected at a position of the first transmission lever and a position of the second transmission lever located at corners of a window sash, and the first gear tooth combination is arranged in the handle for driving the first transmission lever and the second transmission lever to move synchronously and reversely;

When the window sash is set to a closed state, a shank of the handle 1 is located at the scale of gear position 0. At this time, spring bolts of the lock assemblies 7 at the upper end and at the lower end of the window sash are both located in the spring bolt catch 8. The spring bolt catch 8 is internally provided with a horizontal shaft, which allows the spring bolt to be in snap-fit or rotate.
First Stroke
When the shank of the handle 1 is rotated counterclockwise by 90 degrees, the gear position is shifted from gear position 0 to gear position 1. At this time, the whole transmission system correspondingly advances for one stroke, the first movable joint 52 and the second movable joint 62 move in a straight state under the restriction of a limiter on the window sash, and the first transmission lever 21 and the second transmission lever 22 move reversely for one stroke under the drive of the first gear tooth combination 11, and drive the door hinge assembly 5, the guide wheel assembly 6, the spring bolt driving block a71 and the spring bolt driving block b72 to advance for one stroke respectively under the linkage of the angle converter. Since the horizontal displacement of the spring bolt driving block a71 is one stroke faster than the spring bolt driving block b72, the spring bolt in the lock assembly 7 located at one side of the spring bolt driving block a71 is retracted into the lock body first, and the spring bolt is disengaged from the spring bolt catch 8; and the spring bolt in the lock assembly 7 at one side of the spring bolt driving block b72 does not move, and the spring bolt is not retracted into the lock body, but remains in the spring bolt catch 8 to play a locking role. At this time, the handle 1 is pulled inwards, and the upper end of the window sash is opened. Since the spring bolt at the lower part of the window sash fits the horizontal shaft of the spring bolt catch 8, the lower end of the window sash cannot be opened but can be rotated along the horizontal shaft. The inward tilt action is completed when the window sash is opened to a maximum angle set by the wind brace 10.
Second Stroke
First, the opened window sash is pushed back into the window frame, the shank of the handle 1 is continuously rotated counterclockwise by 90 degrees, and the gear position is shifted from position 1 to position 2. At this time, the whole transmission system correspondingly continues to advance for one stroke, and the second movable joint 62 is free from restriction by the limiter on the window sash. The first transmission lever 21 and the second transmission lever 22 continue to move reversely for one stroke under the drive of the first gear tooth combination 11, and drive each of the door hinge assembly 5, the guide wheel assembly 6, the spring bolt driving block a71 and the spring bolt driving block b72 to advance for one stroke under the linkage of the angle converter. Since the cylindrical guide wheel 61 on the guide wheel assembly 6 is obstructed by the window frame and cannot continue to advance, at this time, the second movable joint 62 has been disengaged from a limiter on the window frame and may be flexed. The second movable joint 62 is straightened and flexed for exactly one stroke. The distance traveled by the cylindrical guide wheel 61 in the guide wheel assembly 6 during the second stroke is accumulated on the flexed second movable joint 62. The door hinge 51 on the door hinge assembly 5 may not be obstructed by the window frame, and may continue to advance for one stroke, so that the front end of the door hinge 51 enters the door-hinge slot 50 and reaches the bottom of the door-hinge slot 50. The horizontal displacement of the spring bolt driving block a71 does not work on the spring bolt in the corresponding lock assembly 7, so that the spring bolt is located in the lock body, and the spring bolt is disengaged from the spring bolt catch 8. The horizontal displacement of the spring bolt driving block b72 works on the spring bolt in the corresponding lock assembly 7, so that the spring bolt is retracted into the lock body, and the spring bolt is disengaged from the spring bolt catch 8. At this time, the all spring bolts in four lock assemblies 7 at upper and lower parts of the window sash are retracted into the lock body, and all the upper and lower door hinges 51 enter the corresponding door-hinge slots 50. The window sash can be opened horizontally by pulling the shank toward the indoors, and rotating the window sash counterclockwise, and the opening angle may be greater than 90 degrees.
Third Stroke
The window sash opened horizontally is rotated to a 90-degree open position, and the door hinge is pulled. At this time, the door hinge 51 may enter the second door-hinge slot 502 from the first door-hinge slot 501 along the sliding rail between the first door-hinge slot 501 and the second door-hinge slot 502. The window sash is rotated clockwise by 90 degrees after the door hinge 51 enters the second door-hinge slot 502. At this time, the window sash is parallel with the window frame, the first movable joint 52 is in a straightened state, and the second movable joint 62 is in a flexed state. By operating the third stroke, the shank of the handle 1 is continuously rotated counterclockwise by 90 degrees, the gear position is shifted from position 2 to position 3, and the whole transmission system correspondingly continues to advance for one stroke. The first movable joint 52 and the second movable joint 62 are free from restriction by the limiter on the window sash. The first transmission lever 21 and the second transmission lever 22 continue to move reversely for one stroke under the drive of the first gear tooth combination 11, and drive each of the door hinge assembly 5, the guide wheel assembly 6, the spring bolt driving block a71 and the spring bolt driving block b72 to advance for one stroke under the linkage of the angle converter. At this time, a power arm of the crank lever 63 is obstructed by the stopper 65, so that the crank lever 63 rotates in the obstructing direction along a fulcrum. At this time, a resisting arm of the crank lever 63 may work on the flexed second movable joint 62, so that the flexed second movable joint 62 may be straightened again. In this process, the cylindrical guide wheel 61 completes two strokes, so that the cylindrical guide wheel 61 extends out of the upper edge and the lower edge of the window sash and fits the sliding rail 64 mounted on the window frame. Since the door hinge 51 has entered the very bottom of the door-hinge slot 50 and cannot advance, in the third stroke, the first movable joint 52 in the door hinge assembly 5 is flexed to offset the movement distance of the third stroke. The spring bolt driving block a71 and the spring bolt driving block b72 do not work on the spring bolt in the third stroke. In this process, the spring bolt is in the lock body. At this time, the window sash may travel between the upper and lower sliding rails 64 by transversely pulling the shank, so as to realize translating of the window sash. The window sash is opened to the fullest extent to the limiter at the distal end of the window sash, so as to complete the push-pull opening action.
When the window sash is closed, opened by means of inward tilting and opened horizontally, the front upright 101 of the wind brace 10 is in the wind brace sleeve 102. The role of connection and the role of determining the opening degree are played when the window sash is opened by means of inward tilting. When the window sash is opened horizontally, the wind brace 10 causes the front upright 101 to be disengaged from the wind brace sleeve 102 as the window sash travels. The front upright 101 of the wind brace 10 may be inserted into the wind brace sleeve 102 again when the window sash returns to the original position of the window frame again.
The procedure for closing the window sash is a reverse operation of opening.
