Solution Overview

Problem

Existing splicing profiles and screw connection processes for large glass-installed doors or windows are inefficient and result in slow installation speed and uneven quality, as they require on-site assembly and disassembly, which is not suitable for road or vertical transportation.

Innovation Solution

A splicing pipe system comprising a first frame profile, a second frame profile, a heat insulation strip, and fasteners with clamping grooves and installation grooves, allowing for easy connection and fixation of doors or windows, using elastic sealing members and hard material fasteners to ensure secure and efficient assembly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional splicing profiles and screw connection processes are used for large glass-installed doors or windows, then the doors or windows can be assembled on site, but the installation speed is slow and the installation quality is uneven

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation speedVSAvoidinstallation quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The splicing pipe is pre-assembled with fasteners, clamping grooves, and sealing members in the factory before transportation. This preliminary assembly allows the complex connection components to be prepared in advance with consistent quality, then simply installed on site by connecting to the door or window frame, significantly improving installation speed while maintaining quality consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of manufacture

If glass-installed doors or windows are assembled on site using traditional methods, then the doors or windows can be connected, but the process requires disassembly and reassembly which is inefficient and unsuitable for road transportation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly processVSAvoidon-site construction time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The splicing pipe is divided into modular components (first frame profile, second frame profile, heat insulation strip, fasteners, clamping grooves) that can be independently manufactured and then assembled into a complete splicing pipe in the factory. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized and pre-assembled, reducing on-site construction time and improving ease of manufacture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If traditional splicing profiles are used, then the doors or windows can be connected on site, but the installation quality is uneven due to manual assembly variations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation quality consistencyVSAvoidinstallation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The splicing pipe incorporates self-aligning clamping grooves and pre-positioned fasteners that automatically guide and secure the door or window frame during installation. The elastic sealing members and engagement portions provide self-adjusting connection that compensates for minor dimensional variations, ensuring consistent installation quality without requiring highly skilled manual assembly, thereby improving both quality consistency and installation efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

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

The splicing pipe system simplifies the installation process, improves splicing speed, and ensures consistent quality by allowing for standardized assembly in a factory, reducing the need for on-site disassembly and reassembly, and enhancing the durability and security of the connections.

Implementation Method 1

an elastic sealing member is arranged on at least one of the first clamping groove and the second clamping groove on the same side. The fastener squeezes the elastic sealing member for cooperation to strengthen the connection and fixation of the door or window.

AI summary

A splicing pipe for installing a door or window includes a first frame profile, a second frame profile, a heat insulation strip and at least two fasteners. A first clamping groove is formed on each of two sides of the first frame profile, and a second clamping groove is formed on each of two sides of the second frame profile. The first clamping groove and the second clamping groove are both used to connect to the door or window having glass. At least one of the first frame profile and the second frame profile on the same side is provided with an installation groove, and the fastener is inserted into the installation groove. The splicing pipe provided has the advantages of simple splicing operation and easy implementation, which can not only improve the splicing speed, but also guarantee the performance of the doors or windows after being spliced.
