Solution Overview

Problem

Current honeycomb curtain production methods rely on adhesives, increasing production costs and leading to a deterioration of the honeycomb structure over time due to temperature fluctuations, which affects the service life and energy efficiency of the curtains.

Innovation Solution

A folded fabric crushing machine that produces multi-layered woven curtain fabrics without adhesives, utilizing a table with a flat metal sheet, crushing cylinders, a thread pulling system, a press system, and a reducer system to create pleated fabrics for windows, doors, and glass balconies, ensuring constant speed and tension without releasing back.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If adhesive material is used to bond pleated fabrics together, then the honeycomb structure can be formed, but production cost increases and adhesion property deteriorates over time due to temperature

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesion propertyVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts and eliminates the adhesive material from the honeycomb curtain production process. Instead of using adhesive to bond pleated fabrics, the patent uses a mechanical bonding method where the fabric is folded and crushed to interlock the layers, removing the harmful adhesive component entirely while maintaining structural integrity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention replaces the chemical bonding system (adhesive) with a mechanical bonding system. The pleated fabrics are bonded through mechanical crushing and interlocking of the fabric layers, where the crushed pleats of one fabric layer fit into the pleats of another layer, creating a mechanical bond without chemicals

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of manufacture

If adhesive material is used to bond fabrics, then the honeycomb structure is formed, but the service life deteriorates due to temperature-induced adhesion loss

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction processVSAvoidservice life
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive material is completely removed from the production process. The bonding is achieved through mechanical interlocking of crushed pleats, which does not degrade with temperature changes, thereby extending the service life of the honeycomb curtain

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the bonding mechanism from chemical (adhesive) to mechanical (crushed pleat interlocking). This parameter change makes the bonding method resistant to temperature fluctuations, preventing adhesion loss and extending the operational duration of the curtain

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If two fabrics are glued together to form honeycomb structure, then the curtain structure is complete, but the cost of adhesive and production complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehoneycomb structure integrityVSAvoidproduction process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive application equipment and chemical bonding process are extracted from the production line. The bonding is achieved through the fabric's own structure - the crushed pleats interlock mechanically, eliminating the need for separate adhesive application steps and reducing overall process complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The fabric itself provides the bonding mechanism through its crushed pleat structure. The pleated fabric, when crushed, creates interlocking elements that bond the layers together without requiring external adhesive materials or complex application equipment, making the fabric self-bonding

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
