Roller Shutter Console Vertical Guide for Secure Fastening
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing roller shutter box static consoles are difficult to install and often omitted due to complex attachment requirements, leading to increased deflection of window frames, leaks, and reduced burglary resistance, especially when accessing the ceiling connection bracket is challenging and requires milling, which creates thermal bridges.
Innovation Solution
A roller shutter box static console with a vertically oriented guide element aligned with the lower inspection flap for easier ceiling connection, using a screw bolt with a large core diameter and self-tapping thread for direct concrete anchoring, eliminating the need for dowels and recesses in the cover part, and allowing for frictional locking to secure the console.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a conventional ceiling connection bracket is used, then the roller shutter box can be attached to the building structure, but the installation is difficult and time-consuming requiring milling and complex access
Solution Approach 1:
The patent repositions the ceiling connection bracket from a horizontal mounting approach to a vertical mounting approach. The bracket extends vertically downward from the roller shutter box, allowing the fastening element to be inserted from the top through the cover part rather than requiring lateral access through the narrow opening at the bottom. This dimensional change in mounting orientation enables easier installation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent pre-provides access to the ceiling connection bracket through the cover part, which can be opened from the inside of the room. This preliminary arrangement of access pathways allows installers to reach the fastening element without requiring complex milling operations or difficult lateral access, significantly simplifying the installation process.
2Strength
If the roller shutter box is milled to connect the ceiling connection bracket directly to the lintel, then attachment is achieved, but thermal bridges are created
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces the ceiling connection bracket as an intermediary component that connects the roller shutter box to the building structure without requiring direct milling into the lintel. The bracket serves as a mediator that provides mechanical attachment strength while maintaining the thermal insulation integrity of the roller shutter box, thus avoiding thermal bridges.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the attachment function into separate components: the ceiling connection bracket is a distinct element that can be attached to the roller shutter box and then secured to the building structure. This segmentation allows the attachment function to be achieved without compromising the thermal insulation of the main roller shutter box structure.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the fastening point is positioned towards the middle of the roller shutter box for structural reasons, then structural stability is improved, but access for installation becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the access dimension by providing entry through the cover part that can be opened from the inside of the room, rather than requiring lateral access through the narrow opening at the bottom. This allows the fastening point to remain positioned towards the middle of the roller shutter box for structural stability while enabling easy installation access from the top.
