Description

M262576, Creation Instructions (1) [Technical Field to which the New Type belongs] b This creation relates to an embedded group drainage structure for the bottom frame of doors and windows, especially a kind of baffle plate embedded in the inner groove of the bottom frame, and the The baffle is provided with at least an upright stretcher, and the upright baffle is provided with a communication hole that is offset from the upper drainage hole or the outer drainage hole, so as to easily form an inner and outer tapping drainage channel in the inner groove of the outer bottom frame. , And the effect of drainage into the bottom frame. [Previous technology] The drainage or waterproof structure of the doors and windows has various designs. Among them, as shown in Figures L 1, 1 1 B, and 1 C, the push window assembly 1 consists of an outer frame 1 a and a push projection. The window lb is composed, and the shape or assembly structure of each frame (aluminum extruded frame) on the outer frame 1 & A drainage structure is provided. The drainage structure is generally the upper frame surface of the outer bottom frame 1 c. D. Upper drainage holes are provided at the left and right near the edge. E, = the accumulated water on the upper frame surface id can flow down from the upper drainage hole le. In the outer bottom frame and the inner groove 1f, drainage holes 1 h are opened to the outside from the left and right edges of the outer frame surface 1 g of the outer bottom frame 1 c, and the outer edge of the outer drainage hole 1 h may be another Hood I movable clamshell type wind load (not shown in the figure), in order not to hinder the outward drainage and K side strong wind from blowing outside; while the upper drainage hole le and the outer drainage hole ih are not set when the fork is installed. Keep the absolute level, the accumulated water may be left / right. One = purple: ίΓ should also consider the upper drainage hole 1e and the solid or hollow type, and the solid type refers to the outsole. Extrusion M262576 from 1c 4. Creation instructions (2) The inner body groove (section) does not include a hollow groove closed at the periphery of the ring, and the hollow type refers to the middle of the extruded body groove (section) of the outer bottom frame lc. The hollow groove is closed on the edge. However, the above-mentioned conventional row M 3 has the following problems: Drainage U 冓 is easy to cause in use (1), when the outer bottom frame lc is solid: on the upper frame surface The opening operation of the outer drainage hole lh on the outer frame surface lg (using a die punching hole) is easy. Even the relevant positions between the two holes can be staggered and set up. For example, the outer drainage hole lh is provided on the outer frame surface. Horizontal middle position (as long as the accumulated water exceeds the horizontal line of the external drainage hole ih, it can still be discharged from the external drainage hole lh), but because there is no hollow inner groove in the outer bottom frame lc, the upper drainage hole le and the open inner groove " and The external drainage holes lh are almost connected, so that outdoor strong wind can be easily blown in by the external drainage holes lh, which causes the accumulated water to be discharged smoothly and easily fall into the room. Even if the external drainage hole 1h is covered by a movable flip cover Wind hood, but it is prone to failure due to long-term exposure to the outdoors. a (2) When the outer bottom frame lc is hollow: on the upper frame surface 1 (1 above the drainage hole 1 e and the outer frame surface 1 g outside the drainage hole 1 h to be provided in the outer bottom frame 1 c The left and right edges are suitable to facilitate the die punching operation, but at this time, the relevant positions between the two holes cannot be staggered and set up, which will easily cause the above-mentioned confusion in (1). (3), and although the hollow in (2) The outer bottom frame can be provided with more than one layer of upper and lower multi-layer hollow grooves (not shown in the figure), and communication holes can be provided on the horizontal partition between the upper and lower hollow grooves, so that the communication holes and the upper drainage Hole 1e or outer drainage hole 1h is staggered. For example, the upper drainage hole 1e is on the right side and the communication hole is on the left side, but the external drainage hole 1h is on the right side, but the communication hole must be located on the left / right edge of the horizontal partition. For punching operations (but there are still difficulties), if page 7 M262576 IV. Creation instructions (3) Outer bottom frame 1 c When the right (left) side is lower after the installation is completed, the upper hollow is accumulated The water on the right side of the tank needs to accumulate to a large amount (the horizontal line is higher than the horizontal communication hole) before it starts to overflow from the communication hole to the lower hollow tank. When drained from the external drainage hole for 1 h, there is usually too much water accumulated on the right side of the upper hollow tank, which can easily cause permeation or rotten rhyme over time. (4), (3) Once the outer bottom frame is designed, the remaining outer frames (such as the outer upper frame or the outer straight support) must be = equivalently designed, and the upper and lower multi-layer hollow grooves are fixed structures, occupying a considerable height and space. This will make the entire door and window assembly quite heavy; however, the installation of general doors and windows is often due to different places or locations: the use of different degrees of drainage or waterproof function, and a thick and waterproof function = good door and window design, the manufacturing cost is relatively high It will inevitably lead to the use of traps = 丄, and the drainage or waterproof function often has different designs depending on the types of doors and windows, such as horizontally-sliding windows, pivoting projection windows, etc., so it is fixed for use in the project. The frame design is not suitable for the general projection of most doors and windows = 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, and 2nd figure. It is sufficient to apply to most areas in Taiwan. Therefore, it is basically not necessary to choose (3) In the middle Rain; ΓΓ-type drainage design. •, recently with a needle that is infiltrated with abundant water; the ejection window produces a product with selectivity. The drainage function, in other words, whether to strengthen the drainage function should
