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 system 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

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If the window curtain is integrated with the window frame in a fixed manner, then the overall appearance is improved and the window thickness is reduced, but the adaptability to different window profiles decreases and maintenance becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoverall appearanceVSAvoidadaptability to different window profiles
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The window curtain assembly is divided into separate components: the window curtain cover, the curtain cloth, and the mounting structure. This segmentation allows the curtain to be independently installed and removed from different window profiles without affecting the window frame itself, thereby maintaining aesthetic appearance while improving adaptability and maintenance capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting structure employs removable and adjustable mounting pieces that can be dynamically repositioned or removed. This dynamic mounting system allows the same curtain assembly to adapt to various window profiles by adjusting the mounting piece positions, while maintaining a clean integrated appearance when installed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If the window curtain cover is mounted on the front surface of the window, then the window curtain can be installed, but the window thickness increases and the building wall thickness required for mounting increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of installationVSAvoidwindow thickness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of mounting the curtain cover on the front surface (adding thickness in the horizontal dimension), the mounting structure utilizes the vertical dimension by attaching to the top of the window frame. The curtain cloth then hangs vertically down the window opening, achieving the same functional result without increasing window thickness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting structure is designed to nest within or attach to the existing window frame structure at the top, rather than adding external protrusions. The curtain cover and mounting pieces are integrated in a nested configuration that utilizes the existing window frame space, avoiding additional thickness requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Reliability

If the window and window curtain are encapsulated twice, then the windproof and sealing performance is improved, but the maintenance convenience decreases and the structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewindproof and sealing performanceVSAvoidmaintenance convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The window curtain system is segmented into the window frame, the curtain cover, and the curtain cloth as separate maintainable components. The mounting structure uses removable mounting pieces that allow the curtain assembly to be detached and maintained independently without dismantling the entire window structure, thus maintaining reliability while improving maintenance convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting pieces serve as intermediary components between the window frame and the curtain cover. These removable intermediaries allow for easy installation and maintenance by enabling the curtain assembly to be attached and detached without permanent encapsulation, reducing structural complexity while maintaining sealing performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
