Patent attributes
This application provides a vertical sliding window, including horizontal frame side edges, vertical frame side edges, and an opening sash, wherein the opening sash slides up and down along a guide rail on the vertical frame side edge. In addition, the vertical sliding window further includes a balance weight device and a balance weight traction cable. The balance weight device includes an enclosure, a rotating shaft partially disposed within the enclosure, a spiral spring whose two ends are respectively fixedly connected to an inner wall of the enclosure and the rotating shaft, and a cone pulley fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, wherein a tapered surface of the cone pulley is provided with a spiral groove. A lower end of the balance weight traction cable is fixedly connected to the opening sash, and an upper end thereof is fixedly connected to the cone pulley. When the opening sash moves from bottom to top, an elastic deformational force generated by the spiral spring enables the balance weight traction cable to be gradually wound into the spiral groove, and the elastic deformational force of the spiral spring is gradually reduced. Due to a mutual conversion between elastic potential energy of the spiral spring and gravitational potential energy of the opening sash, in the vertical sliding window provided in this application, an external acting force for dragging the opening sash to move up and down as well as energy consumption may be reduced.
