Hidden Rail Window Door System with Detachable Maintenance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional window/door systems with hidden rail structures are difficult to maintain and repair, as the rail structure is integrated with the substructure, making it impossible to replace or repair individual components without replacing the entire substructure, leading to costly repairs and poor air tightness and drainage.
Innovation Solution
A window/door system with a detachable rail structure installed at a substructure, featuring a shielding plate and rail holding parts, a rail covering structure with a flat shape to hide the rails, and a window/door driving structure with rollers that can be easily replaced and maintained, ensuring air tightness and a neat appearance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the rail structure is integrated with the substructure in a single body, then the structure is stable and simple to manufacture, but it becomes impossible to replace or repair the rail without replacing the entire substructure
Solution Approach 1:
The rail structure is divided into separate components: the substructure remains fixed while the rail structure becomes a detachable module. This segmentation allows the rail to be replaced independently without replacing the entire substructure, resolving the contradiction between manufacturing simplicity and repairability.
Solution Approach 2:
The rail structure transitions from a fixed integrated design to a dynamic detachable design. The rail can be detached and reattached to the substructure, enabling easy replacement and maintenance while maintaining structural integrity during operation.
2Device complexity
If conventional rail grooves are formed in window/door frames, then the structure is simple, but they cause safety hazards and accumulate foreign substances that are difficult to clean
Solution Approach 1:
The traditional rail groove design is extracted and replaced with a raised rail structure. This extraction eliminates the harmful凹槽 that trap foreign substances and create safety hazards, while the raised rail maintains the necessary sliding function.
Solution Approach 2:
The design converts the potential harm of exposed rails by covering them with a rail covering structure. This covering structure prevents foreign substance accumulation and safety hazards while maintaining the functional benefits of the rail system.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If a hidden rail structure is used to improve air tightness and drainage, then air tightness improves, but the structure becomes complicated and difficult to maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The hidden rail structure is segmented into modular components (substructure, rail structure, rail covering structure) that can be independently manufactured, assembled, and maintained. This segmentation reduces overall structural complexity while maintaining air tightness benefits.
4Ease of repair
If the rail structure is detachable, then it becomes easy to replace and maintain, but the connection between rail and substructure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The connection between rail and substructure is designed to be dynamically adjustable, allowing for easy detachment and reattachment. This dynamic connection mechanism enables simple replacement procedures while maintaining secure attachment during operation.

AI summary
There is provided a window/door system having a hidden rail structure wherein a rail structure is detachably installed at a substructure, the substructure installed where a window/door is to be installed, thereby making it very easy to replace and to maintain/repair the rail. In addition, the rail is hidden so as not to be visible to the outside when a window/door is opened/closed. That is, the present invention is to to provide a window/door system having a hidden rail structure, wherein the rail structure is detachably installed at a substructure positioned where a window/door frame is to be installed, thereby making it very easy to replace and to maintain/repair the rail. Since the window/door system having a hidden rail structure according to the present invention also hides the rail so as not to be visible to the outside when a window/door is opened/closed by a sliding motion and the top of the hidden rail structure is processed so as to be flat, it not only provides a neat appearance but also makes it easy to clean. Furthermore, it has a new structure of improving air tightness against any draft and/or noise by a multileveled shielding structure.
