Modular Window Connective Structure Slimming Elevation Thickness
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional connective structures for modularized windows and doors in buildings face challenges in achieving unified elevations, aesthetic appeal, wind pressure resistance, and economical efficiency, particularly when sliding windows and hinged doors are arranged horizontally, as they require thick curtain wall bars that obstruct views and increase costs.
Innovation Solution
A simplified double frame support structure is introduced, where glass side surface installation units are directly fixed on window frames, with first and second transverse curtain wall connection members securing the glass, allowing for a slim elevation and reduced use of curtain wall bars, while maintaining structural stability and aesthetic appeal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a triple frame support structure with curtain wall bars is used to connect sliding windows and door windows, then structural stability and wind pressure resistance are improved, but the elevation thickness increases and aesthetic appearance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the curtain wall bar from the connection structure, extracting the problematic element that caused thick elevation and poor aesthetics. Instead, it uses a simplified double frame support structure where the window frame and door frame directly connect through fixing units, eliminating the need for additional curtain wall bars while maintaining structural stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the window frame and door frame into a unified connection system where the transverse outer surface of the window frame directly connects to the door frame through fixing units. This integration eliminates the separate curtain wall bar component and creates a streamlined elevation that maintains strength while reducing thickness.
2Stability of the object's composition
If a triple frame support structure with curtain wall bars is used to connect sliding windows and door windows, then structural stability is improved, but material cost and device complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes the curtain wall bar from the connective structure, simplifying the overall system. The remaining components (window frame, door frame, and fixing units) form a more straightforward connection system that reduces material usage and manufacturing complexity while preserving structural stability.
3Stability of the object's composition
If curtain wall bars are used to connect fixed windows between sliding windows and door windows, then structural completeness is improved, but the view through window glass is obstructed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the curtain wall bar that obstructed the view, extracting the element that blocked light and visual access. The simplified connection structure allows for larger glass areas and better visibility while maintaining structural completeness through the frame-to-frame fixing connection.
4Adaptability or versatility
If sliding windows and door windows with different frame thicknesses are successively arranged, then functional requirements are met, but unified elevation and aesthetic appearance cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making the window frame's transverse outer surface the connection interface, allowing the connection point to be positioned at a specific location that achieves uniform elevation. This localized connection approach enables different frame thicknesses to be accommodated while maintaining overall elevation uniformity through proper positioning of the fixing units.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a connective installation structure for modularized windows and doors, the connective installation structure successively arranging and connectively installing, in the horizontal direction, modularized sliding windows, doors, or door windows that form the window and doors of a building, with fixed windows arranged in the spaces between the windows and doors. The present invention provides the connective installation structure for modularized windows and doors so as to provide a simplified double frame support structure in which the connective structure lateral section view of the frame, formed by the elevation view of the elements that form the connective installation structure of windows and doors, comprises just (window glass or door panel)-window sash frame-window frame-(fixed window glass), the connective installation structure for windows and doors successively arranging and connectively installing, in the horizontal direction, the sliding-type windows, doors, or door widows, with fixed windows arranged in the spaces therebetween.
