Adjustable Window Kit for Mobile Air Conditioner Exhaust Attachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile air conditioners face challenges in securely attaching their exhaust guide means to casement windows, allowing discharged air to potentially re-enter the room, and may damage the window frame during installation.
Innovation Solution
A window kit with adjustable installation members that securely attach to the casement window frame, minimizing the open area to prevent re-entry and avoiding frame damage, featuring adjustable components for various window sizes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the exhaust guide means is fixed to the window frame using conventional methods, then the air discharge stability is improved, but the window frame may be damaged during installation
Solution Approach 1:
The window kit acts as an intermediary component between the exhaust guide means and the window frame. It includes a mounting bracket with clamps that grip the window frame without causing damage, and a shield that creates a sealed exhaust path. This mediator allows stable air discharge while protecting the window frame from damage.
Solution Approach 2:
The window kit is divided into multiple functional segments: a mounting bracket with adjustable clamps for secure attachment, a shield component for sealing and directing exhaust, and connection interfaces for the exhaust guide. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function optimally while collectively solving both the stability and damage prevention requirements.
2Reliability
If the exhaust guide means is fixed to minimize the open area, then air re-entry is prevented, but the adaptability to various window sizes is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The window kit incorporates adjustable and detachable components, particularly the mounting bracket with movable clamps and the detachable shield sections. These dynamic elements allow the kit to be configured for different window sizes and shapes while maintaining a sealed exhaust path that prevents air re-entry.
Solution Approach 2:
The window kit is designed as a universal solution that can be adapted to various window types and sizes. The adjustable mounting bracket and modular shield components enable the same kit to effectively seal different window configurations, making it universally applicable while maintaining the function of preventing air re-entry.
3Manufacturing precision
If a fixed-size installation component is used, then the manufacturing precision is improved, but the ease of operation for different window sizes is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The installation components feature adjustable dimensions through movable clamps, telescopic sections, and detachable modules. This allows the components to be precisely configured for each specific window size during installation, combining the precision of custom-fit components with the ease of a standardized installation process.
Solution Approach 2:
The installation components are segmented into standardized modules with precise manufacturing, but these modules can be combined and adjusted in the field. The modular design maintains high manufacturing precision for each component while allowing flexible configuration to match different window dimensions during installation.
