Integrated Rolling Curtain Window with Removable Cover Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional window curtains require double mounting, affecting the window's appearance and increasing thickness, while integrated solutions often limit adaptability and maintenance convenience.
Innovation Solution
An integrated rolling curtain window with a window curtain cover assembly, windproof rails, and connection pieces that allow remounting without altering the window's thickness, enabling easy maintenance and adaptability to various window profiles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional window curtains are mounted at the inner side or outer side of the window, then the window curtain can be installed, but the window curtain cover projects from the front surface of the window, destroying the overall window appearance and increasing the thickness of the window
Solution Approach 1:
The window curtain cover assembly is nested within the window frame structure. The cover casing is positioned inside the window frame, with the curtain cloth component rolling out within the windproof rails that are mounted on the front surface of the window frame. This nesting arrangement eliminates the need for the window curtain cover to project outward, maintaining a flush appearance with the window surface.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from a two-dimensional projection of the window curtain cover outward to a three-dimensional integration within the window frame depth. By utilizing the vertical space within the window frame and positioning the cover casing inside, the solution moves the curtain mechanism into another dimension (depth), eliminating the aesthetic problem of outward projection.
2Productivity
If an integrated window with integrated window curtain is directly mounted into a preoccupied space, then the problem of double mounting is addressed, but the window curtain can only be integrated with the window frame with a particular shape, increasing the cost for replacement and decreasing the convenience for maintenance
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated window system is segmented into separable components: the window frame, the windproof rails mounted on the front surface, and the window curtain cover assembly that can be independently installed and removed. The connection pieces enable the window curtain cover assembly to be detachably connected to the window frame, allowing for easy replacement and maintenance while maintaining the integrated appearance during use.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection between the window curtain cover assembly and the window frame is made dynamic and adjustable through the connection pieces. These connection pieces allow the assembly to be adaptively mounted to different window frame shapes and sizes, providing versatility while maintaining the integrated appearance. The dynamic connection enables easy installation, removal, and replacement without permanent fixation.
3Shape
If the window and window curtain are encapsulated twice, then the beauty of the window is improved, but the window cover cannot be conveniently removed or maintained, requiring dismantling of the encapsulation plate
Solution Approach 1:
The encapsulation is segmented into two functional layers: the windproof rails that provide the aesthetic encapsulation on the front surface, and the connection pieces that enable accessible connection to the window curtain cover assembly. This segmentation allows the aesthetic encapsulation to remain intact while providing maintenance access through the detachable connection pieces, eliminating the need to dismantle the entire encapsulation structure for maintenance.
4Shape
If the window, window cover, and screen window are seamlessly integrated with fixed connection, then the appearance is improved, but the adaptability to different window styles is strictly limited and convenience in transportation and storage is decreased
Solution Approach 1:
The integration is made dynamic through the detachable connection pieces that allow the window curtain cover assembly to be connected to or disconnected from the window frame as needed. This dynamic connection maintains the seamless integrated appearance during use while enabling easy separation for adaptation to different window styles, transportation, and storage, eliminating the need for permanent fixed connections.

AI summary
The present invention provides an integrated rolling curtain window in the filed of architectural components, to address the disadvantages of the existing rolling curtain window for poor universality. The integrated rolling curtain window of the invention includes a profile window (5). The integrated rolling curtain window further comprises a rolling curtain assembly having a window curtain cover assembly (1) mounted on the top of the profile window, two windproof rails (2) positioned on the front surface of both sides of the profile window (5), a first connection piece (3,4) for removably mounting the window curtain cover assembly (1) to the top of the profile window and a second connection piece (22,22') for removably connecting the said two windproof rails (2) to the front surface of both sides of the profile window respectively. The window curtain cover assembly (1) has a curtain cloth component (14) which could be rolled out and in, and both sides of the curtain cloth component (14) move within the said two windproof (2) rails respectively when the curtain cloth component (14) is rolled out. The present invention has the advantages for good universality, simple installation and adaption to various profile windows.
