Louver Window Dividing Structure for Vertical Pillar Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing louver window dividing structures face issues with misalignment during installation, leading to uneven spaces and smooth operation problems, and existing solutions are either complex or prone to deformation over time.
Innovation Solution
A louver window with an adjustable dividing structure using a connecting piece between jambs and a vertical pillar, allowing for fine-tuning of the pillar's position through movable fasteners and covering pieces, ensuring accurate installation and reducing structural complexity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single connecting piece is used to connect the vertical pillar with the jamb, then the device complexity is reduced, but the reliability of the connection may be insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting piece is divided into two distinct fastening portions: a first fastening portion that connects to the jamb and a second fastening portion that connects to the vertical pillar. This segmentation allows each portion to independently perform its fastening function, ensuring reliable connection while keeping the overall structure simple and integrated.
Solution Approach 2:
The single connecting piece serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as both the connector to the jamb (first fastening portion) and the connector to the vertical pillar (second fastening portion). This multi-functionality reduces the need for multiple separate components while maintaining connection reliability.
2Ease of operation
If the connecting structure allows for position adjustment, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting piece incorporates a slot in its first fastening portion, transforming the rigid fixed-position connection into a dynamic adjustable connection. This allows the vertical pillar to be positioned at different locations along the slot before final fastening, enabling easy adjustment during installation without requiring complex adjustment mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The slot is pre-formed in the connecting piece during manufacturing, providing the adjustment capability in advance. During installation, the worker only needs to position the vertical pillar within the slot range and then fasten it, without needing to perform additional adjustment operations or use separate adjustment components.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the connecting piece has a slot for position adjustment, then the adaptability is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of requiring precise positioning throughout the entire connection, the slot provides a range of acceptable positions. The fastening groove only needs to be precise enough to accommodate the selected position within the slot, reducing the overall manufacturing precision requirement compared to a fixed-position system where every dimension must be exact.

AI summary
The present invention relates to an adjusting structure which is configured to be disposed between a first element and a second element. The adjusting structure includes a connecting piece which has a first fastened portion and a second fastened portion formed on the first fastened portion. Through the first fastened portion and the second fastened portion, the connecting piece is combined between the first element and the second element. As a result, when the second element is positioned on the first element inaccurately, the connecting piece enables the second element to be adjusted in position on the first element, that prevents the second element from deviation in installation.
