Frame strip installation structure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing shower door frame strip installation methods cause wall damage, misalignment, and complicate positional adjustments due to drilling and adhesive inaccuracies.
Innovation Solution
A frame strip installation structure that uses an installation seat bonded to the wall and a connector allowing the frame strip to move relative to the seat for position adjustment, eliminating the need for wall drilling and enabling precise alignment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If frame strips are fixed to the wall by drilling holes with screws, then the frame strips can be securely installed, but the wall may be damaged and pipelines inside the wall may be damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the harmful drilling operation from the installation process by using a bonding-based installation seat instead of screw fixation. The installation seat is bonded to the wall surface without penetrating into the wall, thereby eliminating the risk of damaging wall structures and internal pipelines while maintaining secure frame strip installation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an installation seat as an intermediary component between the wall and the frame strip. This installation seat serves as a mediator that provides secure mounting functionality through bonding while preventing direct contact between drilling operations and the wall structure, thus protecting the wall and its internal elements.
2Ease of manufacture
If frame strips are directly bonded to the wall, then no drilling is needed, but the position of the frame strips is difficult to adjust and installation deviation occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the installation system into three distinct components: the installation seat bonded to the wall, the connector with adjustable and locking states, and the frame strip. This segmentation allows the installation seat to provide stable bonding while the connector provides adjustable positioning, and the frame strip to be precisely positioned, thereby resolving the contradiction between installation simplicity and position adjustability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies dynamics by designing the connector with two states: an adjustable state that allows the frame strip to move relative to the installation seat for position adjustment, and a locking state that fixes the frame strip in the desired position. This dynamic design enables both easy installation and flexible position adjustment.
3Strength
If drilling is performed for frame strip installation, then secure fixation is achieved, but the installation process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical drilling and screw-fixation system with a bonding-based installation system. The installation seat is bonded to the wall using adhesive materials, eliminating the need for drilling operations and complex screw fixation processes, thereby simplifying the installation process while maintaining secure fixation.

AI summary
A frame strip installation structure is provided, which includes a frame strip, an installation seat, and a connector. The frame strip has a cavity with an opening at a side, the installation seat is configured to be adhesively installed on a wall. The connector is respectively connected to the installation seat and the frame strip. The opening of the cavity faces the wall, both the installation seat and the connector are accommodated in the cavity. The connector has an adjustable state and a locking state. When the connector is in the adjustable state, the frame strip moves relative to the installation seat so as to adjust an installation position relative to the wall. When the connector is in the locking state, the frame strip is fixed relative to the installation seat. When the frame strip is installed against the wall, there is no need to drill holes in the wall.
