Adjustable Retractable Screen Door Mounting for Sliding Frame Compatibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional sliding screen doors are incompatible with most existing sliding doors due to differences in door frame profiles, requiring customized frames and cannot be retracted, blocking the door leaf and necessitating removal as a whole.
Innovation Solution
An adjustable retractable screen door system with a screen housing, end caps, and a mounting accessory that includes upper and lower adapters with adjustable screws and locator guides, allowing universal mounting on various sliding door frames.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional sliding screen door is used, then it can provide ventilation and dust prevention functions, but it blocks part of the door leaf and cannot be retracted
Solution Approach 1:
The screen door is designed with a retractable mechanism that allows it to dynamically change its position between extended (providing ventilation and dust prevention) and retracted (clearing the door leaf path). The screen housing contains the screen in a retracted state, while the extended state allows the screen to protrude for functional use.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a retractable screen door is used, then it can be retracted and not block the door leaf, but it requires a customized sliding door frame and is incompatible with existing sliding doors
Solution Approach 1:
A universal mounting accessory is introduced as an intermediary component between the retractable screen door and existing sliding door frames. This mounting accessory includes a mounting body that can be attached to various door frame types, and a connection component that interfaces with the screen door, thereby enabling compatibility without requiring customization of the entire door frame system.
3Adaptability or versatility
If different door frame profiles from different suppliers are used, then various sliding door designs exist, but they have different inner edge heights and mounting spatial structures
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting accessory incorporates adjustable parameters including height adjustment (via adjustable legs or screws), angular adjustment (via rotation joints), and position adjustment (via sliding or telescopic components). These parameter changes allow the mounting accessory to adapt to different door frame profiles and spatial structures while maintaining accurate mounting of the screen door.
