Sliding Window Solar Assembly Roller Terminal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solar cell installations on movable windows face challenges in maintaining an electrical connection between the solar cell and the battery as the window opens or closes, leading to disrupted power charging during normal use.
Innovation Solution
A solar-power-generation-type sliding window assembly with a connection terminal on a roller that maintains electrical contact between the solar cell's output terminal and the window frame terminal, ensuring continuous power transfer regardless of the window's position, and includes a dusting member to prevent contact resistance from foreign substances.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the window is configured to slide open and close, then the window functionality is improved, but the electrical connection between the solar cell and battery is disrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The connection terminal is configured to move together with the roller as the window slides, maintaining continuous electrical contact between the solar cell and battery throughout the window's movement range
Solution Approach 2:
The connection terminal acts as an intermediary component that bridges the moving solar cell and the stationary battery, maintaining electrical connection through its movement with the roller while ensuring continuous contact
2Reliability
If the connection terminal is disposed on the roller, then electrical connection is maintained during sliding, but foreign substances may cause contact resistance
Solution Approach 1:
The dusting member is configured to remove foreign substances from the contact surface of the connection terminal, extracting harmful contaminants that would otherwise cause contact resistance
Solution Approach 2:
The dusting member automatically removes foreign substances from the connection terminal during window operation, providing self-maintenance of the electrical connection without external intervention
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables continuous charging of the battery with the power generated by the solar cell during normal operation, regardless of the sliding window's position, by maintaining a stable electrical connection through the use of a connection terminal on the roller and a dusting member to manage contact resistance.
Implementation Method 1
a solar-power-generation-type sliding window assembly that enables the regular power generation and output of a solar cell provided on a sliding window
Implementation Method 2
a connection terminal disposed on a selected roller among plurality of the rollers and configured to electrically interconnect an output terminal of the solar cell disposed on the sliding window

AI summary
A solar-power-generation-type sliding window assembly for maintaining an electrical connection between a solar cellmounted to a sliding window and a battery charged by the power generated by the solar cell during normal operation regardless of the position of the sliding window is provided. The solar-power-generation-type sliding window assembly includes a sliding window that has a solar cell and configured to be opened or closed via sliding thereof. A window frame is fixed to an opening in a wall and supports the sliding window. A plurality of rollers are rotatably disposed in the sliding window and supports the movement of the sliding window inside the window frame. Additionally, a connection terminal is disposed on a selected roller among the rollers and electrically interconnects an output terminal of the solar cell disposed on the sliding window and a frame terminal disposed on the window frame.
