Swimming Pool Cover Sliding Hatch Profile Integration

1Ease of operation

If sliding hatches are implemented in ornamental pond shelters using conventional methods, then access and ventilation functions are improved, but the number of profiles and crosspieces increases, manufacturing cost increases, and device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccess and ventilationVSAvoidnumber of profiles and crosspieces

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the sliding mechanism and retention function into a single integrated profile system. The U-shaped profile integrates the retaining wall, sliding groove, and reinforcement functions into one component, eliminating the need for separate crosspieces and multiple profiles, thus reducing device complexity while maintaining access and ventilation capabilities

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The beam profile is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support, contains grooves for panel retention, enables sliding movement, and reinforces the hatch opening. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for dedicated stiffening profiles and crosspieces, reducing the overall number of components

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If conventional beam and crosspiece structures are used, then panel retention and load transfer are ensured, but the number of crosspieces increases and assembly complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepanel retention and load transferVSAvoidnumber of crosspieces

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the sliding mechanism and retention function into a single integrated profile system. The U-shaped profile integrates the retaining wall, sliding groove, and reinforcement functions into one component, eliminating the need for separate crosspieces and multiple profiles, thus reducing device complexity while maintaining access and ventilation capabilities

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The beam profiles are preformed with integrated grooves and retaining structures during manufacturing. This preliminary action ensures that the profiles are ready to retain panels and transfer loads without requiring additional crosspieces or complex assembly steps, simplifying both the structure and installation process

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action
