Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing louvered pavilions have complex installation processes due to the need for precise orientation and assembly of louver slats, which can lead to twisting and deformation, resulting in incomplete closure and increased installation difficulty.
Innovation Solution
A quick-assembly louvered pavilion design featuring integrated louver connecting plates and slat rotating shafts at both ends of each louver slat assembly, allowing for easier installation and improved structural stability through a detachable connection system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the louver slats are installed one by one on rotating parts after identifying orientation, then the louver slats can be individually positioned, but the installation process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple components (louver slat, rotating part, and connecting structure) into an integrated assembly where the louver slat is pre-mounted on the rotating part as a unified unit. This integration eliminates the need for separate orientation identification and individual installation steps, simplifying the overall installation process while maintaining positioning accuracy.
2Manufacturing precision
If the louver slats are installed individually on rotating parts, then each slat can be positioned correctly, but the louver panel is prone to twisting and deformation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the louver slat with the rotating part and connecting structure into a unified assembly. This merging ensures that the slat maintains its correct orientation relative to the rotating mechanism, preventing twisting and deformation that would occur with separate component installation.
Solution Approach 2:
The louver slat is pre-mounted on the rotating part during manufacturing or pre-assembly, establishing the correct orientation and structural integrity before installation at the site. This preliminary action prevents orientation errors and structural deformation during the final installation process.
3Adaptability or versatility
If rotating parts are installed at opposite lengthwise ends of the louver slat, then the louver slat can be rotated for opening and closing, but the installation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the rotating part with the connecting structure that attaches the louver slat to the frame. This integration reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the rotating mechanism while maintaining the ability to rotate the slat for opening and closing operations.

AI summary
A quick-assembly louvered pavilion is provided in the present application. A louver system consists of multiple louver slat assemblies (505). Louver connecting plates (506) are provided at both ends of each louver slat assembly (505), and the louver connecting plate (506) and a slat rotating shaft (507) are in an integrated structure so that the louver slat assembly (505) is configured as a detachable structure through the louver connecting plate (506). The slat rotating shaft (507) is configured to transmit rotation of the louver slat assembly (505) via the louver connecting plate (506). With the integrated connection structure of the louver connecting plate (506) and the slat rotating shaft (507), the louver slat (509) is connected with the louver connecting plate (506) thereby reducing the installing difficulty of a known slat rotating shaft, which is mounted to the slat. The louver connecting plate (506) as a whole drives the louver slat (509) to rotate, thereby avoiding a local force on the louver slat (509) applied by the slat rotating shaft (507), and improving the strength of the connection structure between the slat rotating shaft (507) and the louver slat (509) and improving the structural stability.
