Door Component Installation Using Preconfigured System Types
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Inconsistent or incorrect installation of door components, such as emergency exit doors and fire doors, can pose safety risks, including failure to open or remain closed during emergencies, and compromised access control systems.
Innovation Solution
A method involving a pre-configured door system type selection process using an electronic configuration system, which provides pre-configured technical data for installing door components, ensuring compatibility and safety by selecting door system types that match user specifications and reducing installation errors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual installation of multiple door components is performed without pre-configuration, then installation flexibility is maintained, but installation consistency and safety reliability deteriorate due to human error and component mismatch
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring door system types in a database before installation. The electronic configuration system retrieves pre-defined door component combinations based on door characteristics, eliminating the need for installers to manually determine component compatibility. This pre-planning ensures consistent and safe installations while reducing on-site complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an electronic configuration system as an intermediary between the installer and the door components. This system acts as a mediator that automatically retrieves appropriate door system types from a database based on input parameters, ensuring correct component selection without requiring the installer to have expert knowledge of component compatibility.
2Reliability
If pre-configured door system types are provided from a database, then installation consistency and safety are improved, but installation time and configuration complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating door system types that can be reused across multiple installations. The database stores universal door component configurations that can be retrieved and applied to different doors based on their characteristics. This multi-functional approach allows the same pre-configured system types to serve multiple purposes and locations, reducing overall installation time while maintaining safety compliance.
3Adaptability or versatility
If door components are selected without pre-configuration, then installation adaptability is maintained, but component compatibility and system reliability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by using door-specific parameters (such as door characteristics) as input to retrieve appropriate pre-configured door system types from the database. The system automatically adjusts the component configuration based on these parameters, ensuring compatibility while simplifying the installation process. This parameter-driven approach maintains adaptability to different door types while improving ease of operation.
