Window Screen Mounting Assembly with Sliding Interconnecting Unit
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional window screen mounting assemblies are difficult for users to disconnect and reconnect, making it challenging to replace the window screen without professional assistance.
Innovation Solution
A screen mounting assembly with a roller unit, sliding unit, and interconnecting unit, where the interconnecting unit can transition between a disengaging and engaging state, allowing easy removal and reconnection of the window screen by sliding along rail slots in the window frame, facilitated by magnetic components for secure engagement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the screen mounting assembly uses a fixed connection structure, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of operation for screen replacement deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The screen mounting assembly is divided into separate modules: a roller unit with roller seat, a sliding unit with engaging groove, and an interconnecting unit. This segmentation allows each component to be independently assembled and disassembled, enabling easy screen replacement while maintaining structural stability when connected.
Solution Approach 2:
The interconnecting unit can transition between different connection states (engaged and disengaged), providing dynamic adaptability. This allows the assembly to be stable during normal operation but easily reconfigurable when screen replacement is needed, resolving the contradiction between stability and ease of operation.
2Ease of operation
If the connection structure is simplified for easy assembly, then the ease of operation is improved, but the reliability of the connection deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The interconnecting unit serves as an intermediary component between the roller seat and sliding unit. It features an engaging portion that fits into the engaging groove, providing a reliable mechanical connection while maintaining simple assembly through a snap-fit or插接 mechanism that ensures both ease of operation and connection reliability.

AI summary
A window includes a window frame and a screen mounting assembly. The window frame is formed with two rail slots. The screen mounting assembly is adapted to be connected to a window screen and includes a roller unit, a sliding unit and an interconnecting unit. The roller unit includes a roller seat. The sliding unit is slidable along the rail slots and defines an engaging groove. The interconnecting unit is operable between a disengaging state where the interconnecting unit is connected to the roller seat, and an engaging state where the interconnecting unit is separated from the roller seat and inserted into the engaging groove so as to engage the sliding unit, such that movement of the sliding unit along the rail slots results in winding and unwinding of the window screen.
