Solution Overview

Problem

Existing roller curtain fixing structures fail to securely attach the roller curtain to the wall, leading to detachment during operation and insecure mounting of protection boards, resulting in an unstable and aesthetically unappealing installation.

Innovation Solution

A roller curtain fixing bracket assembly comprising left and right supports with perpendicularly protruding fixing boards, a decoration board with hook bars, and cover boards that securely mount to the wall, allowing the roller curtain to be installed between the supports and concealed by the decoration board, enabling adjustable positioning and enhanced stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If two supports are mounted on two sides of a window and the roller curtain device is directly installed on the supports, then the installation structure is simple, but the supports cannot bear the pull force and detach from the wall face during raising/lowering operation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation structureVSAvoidsecure fixation
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The support structure is segmented into wall-mounted supports and window-mounted brackets. The brackets are divided into left and right components that can be independently installed and adjusted. This segmentation allows the wall-mounted supports to bear the pull force while the brackets provide adjustable positioning and secure fixation of the roller curtain device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The left and right brackets act as intermediary components between the wall-mounted supports and the roller curtain device. These brackets transfer and distribute the forces, allowing the roller curtain to be securely fixed while maintaining structural integrity during operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of manufacture

If a protection board is mounted on the supports for covering the roller curtain, then the roller curtain is protected, but the protection board is simply hung on the supports and cannot be securely mounted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection board installationVSAvoidsecure mounting
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The protection board is merged with the left and right brackets to form an integrated assembly. The brackets are designed to simultaneously hold the roller curtain device and support the protection board, creating a unified structure that improves security while maintaining ease of installation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The left and right brackets serve multiple functions: they provide adjustable positioning for the roller curtain device, secure fixation through wall-mounted supports, and support for the protection board. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate mounting structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Device complexity

If the roller curtain device is installed between the main bodies of the left and right supports, then the structure is straightforward, but the appearance is not beautified and the roller curtain is exposed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation structureVSAvoidappearance
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The left and right brackets serve as intermediary aesthetic components that conceal the roller curtain device while maintaining its functionality. These brackets are designed with decorative elements that beautify the appearance, hiding the mechanical parts from view.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The brackets and protection board can be manufactured in various colors and finishes to match different interior designs. This allows the functional components to also serve as aesthetic elements, transforming the overall appearance of the window treatment system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

AI summary

A roller curtain fixing bracket assembly includes a left support, a right support, a decoration board and two cover boards covering the left and right supports. A roller curtain device can be installed between the main bodies of the left and right supports. Each of the left and right supports has a plane board main body and several fixing boards protruding from outer edges of the plane board main body. Front edge of each of two fixing boards extending from two sides of the plane board main body is formed with a split. The decoration board has a horizontal panel and a vertical panel. A top end and a certain section of the vertical panel are formed with hook bars inserted and latched in the splits of the left and right supports and assembled therewith. The cover boards serve to conceal the seams between the supports and the decoration board.
