Door and Window Insulation Structure with Segmented Heat Barriers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional doors and windows suffer from poor thermal insulation due to direct heat transfer through partial sectional materials and cavities formed between the side frame and the door/window, leading to reduced insulation performance.
Innovation Solution
An insulation structure with a thermal insulation assembly comprising first and second sectional materials disconnected by a compensating member, and staggered fixing parts to prevent direct heat transfer and cavity formation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If partial sectional materials are used in the side frame, then the structure is simplified and ease of manufacture is improved, but direct heat transfer between indoor and outdoor occurs, worsening thermal insulation performance
Solution Approach 1:
The sectional material is divided into multiple segments (first sectional material, second sectional material, third sectional material) that are disconnected from each other, preventing direct heat transfer pathways while maintaining the simplified structure benefits
Solution Approach 2:
A thermal insulation assembly acts as an intermediary between the disconnected sectional materials, providing thermal resistance and blocking heat transfer while allowing the structure to remain simple and easy to manufacture
2Device complexity
If cavities are formed between the side frame and door/window, then the structure is simplified, but heat radiation through cavities occurs, worsening thermal insulation performance
Solution Approach 1:
The thermal insulation assembly is extracted and placed within the side frame structure, filling the cavity space and eliminating the heat radiation pathway while keeping the overall structure simple
Solution Approach 2:
Thermal insulation material is specifically placed in the cavity regions where heat radiation would occur, providing localized thermal resistance without increasing overall structural complexity
3Reliability
If sectional materials are directly connected from indoor to outdoor, then heat transfer path is continuous, but thermal insulation performance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The continuous sectional material is segmented into multiple disconnected parts, breaking the heat transfer path and improving thermal insulation without significantly increasing structural complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The thermal insulation assembly serves multiple functions: it blocks heat transfer, fills cavity spaces, and maintains structural integrity, improving insulation performance without proportionally increasing complexity
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution effectively prevents direct heat transfer and cavity-induced heat radiation, enhancing thermal insulation performance by disconnecting sectional materials and staggering fixing parts.
Implementation Method 1
the first sectional material and the second sectional material are disconnected by the compensating member, which avoids the direct heat transfer between the first sectional material and the second sectional material
Implementation Method 2
the first fixing parts and the second fixing parts of the above door and window insulation structure are staggered, which solves the problem of the direct heat radiation due to the formation of the cavity between the side frame and the door and window
