Integrated multi-function window
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional windows lack integrated sun-shading and heat-preserving functions, leading to inefficient energy use and increased material and labor costs due to separate installations of sun-shading products and curtains, with poor windproof performance.
Innovation Solution
An integrated multi-function window design that combines sliding window and curtain cloth mounting components, featuring telescopic curtain systems, symmetrically positioned support and guide portions, and windproof mechanisms, allowing for single installation and improved energy efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate sun-shading products are mounted on windows, then sun-shading function is achieved, but material and labor are wasted due to repeated installation and complex structure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the window frame and sun-shading components into a single integrated structure. The sun-shading cloth is mounted within the window frame itself, eliminating the need for separate external sun-shading installations. This merging of functions reduces structural complexity while maintaining sun-shading capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The window frame is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support for the window, houses the sun-shading mechanism, and enables both sun-shading and mosquito-proofing functions. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate dedicated components for each function.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate components (sun-shade, curtain, mosquito net) are installed, then comprehensive protection is achieved, but installation time and labor cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates mosquito-proof mesh, sun-shading cloth, and window frame into a single unified structure. All components are pre-assembled together, allowing the entire system to be installed as one unit rather than requiring separate installations of multiple components, thereby significantly reducing installation time.
Solution Approach 2:
The mosquito-proof mesh and sun-shading cloth are pre-mounted within the window frame during manufacturing. This preliminary assembly means that when the window is installed, all protective functions are already in place, eliminating the need for subsequent separate installations of curtains, sun-shades, or mosquito nets.
3Illumination intensity
If conventional glass windows are used, then light transmission and air flow control are achieved, but sun-shading and heat-preserving functions are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The sun-shading cloth can be dynamically adjusted or repositioned within the window frame to control sunlight entry. This dynamic capability allows the window to adapt to different lighting and thermal conditions while maintaining daylight transmission, providing both illumination and heat-preserving functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The window system incorporates multiple functional layers including glass for light transmission and integrated sun-shading/curtain components for heat preservation. This multi-functional design allows the single window structure to simultaneously achieve illumination, sun-shading, and heat-preserving functions.
4Ease of manufacture
If simple window frames are used, then manufacturing is easy, but windproof performance is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated design combines the window frame with reinforcing structural elements and sealing components into a unified structure. This merging provides enhanced windproof performance while maintaining manufacturing simplicity, as all components are designed to work together as a single assembly rather than requiring complex multi-component connections.

AI summary
The present invention discloses an integrated multi-function window in the technical field of building material, which overcomes the disadvantages of the existing windows, including complicated structures and time, labor and cost consuming double constructions. The integrated multi-function window includes a first window frame having a first window. A first window cover is mounted at the upper part of the first window frame and first telescopic curtain cloth is located within the first window cover. One side of the first window frame is fixedly connected to the second window frame having a second window. The position of the second window is corresponding to that of the first window. The integrated multi-function window has a simple configuration and multiple functions and is of a low cost and improved reliability.
