Solution Overview

Problem

Existing curtain rod fixing devices require cumbersome installation with predetermined positions, leading to increased costs and work losses due to the need for custom devices for each curtain box or window frame shape.

Innovation Solution

A curtain rod fixing device comprising a detachable device body unit and a curtain rod supporting unit with a multi-step, elastic curtain rod holder that can be easily installed on various curtain box or window frame positions and shapes, accommodating curtain rods of different diameters.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a predetermined position curtain rod fixing device is used, then the installation position is fixed and stable, but the device cannot adapt to different curtain box or window frame positions and shapes, leading to increased cost and work loss

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different positions and shapesVSAvoiddevice structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing device is divided into multiple detachable components: a device body unit, a curtain rod supporting unit, and a box cover. These segmented parts can be assembled and disassembled to adapt to different installation positions and shapes, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The device body unit is designed as a universal base structure that can accommodate multiple configurations. The curtain rod supporting unit can be detachably coupled to at least two or more regions of the device body unit, allowing the same device to serve multiple positions and shapes,从而实现 adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed structure curtain rod fixing device is used, then the installation process is simple, but the device cannot accommodate curtain rods of various diameters

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility with various curtain rod diametersVSAvoidinstallation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The curtain rod holder is designed with elasticity and multi-step bending capability, allowing it to dynamically adjust to curtain rods of various diameters. This elastic adaptation maintains ease of operation while achieving versatility in accommodating different rod sizes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The curtain rod holder's physical parameters (shape, diameter) can change through its elastic and multi-step bending structure. This allows the holder to adapt to different curtain rod diameters without requiring multiple fixed-structure devices, maintaining installation convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If individual custom devices are prepared for each curtain box or window frame, then perfect fit is achieved, but cost and work loss significantly increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation fit qualityVSAvoidcost and work loss
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

A single universal device body unit can be configured for multiple curtain box or window frame positions and shapes through detachable coupling of the curtain rod supporting unit. This eliminates the need to prepare individual custom devices for each location, reducing cost and work loss while maintaining reliable fit quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The detachable modular structure allows the same device body unit to be reconfigured for different applications. Instead of creating custom integrated devices for each location, the segmented design enables one universal unit to adapt to multiple scenarios, reducing material waste and installation costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
