Vehicle Side Window Shade Mounting for Precise Frame Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for installing vehicle sunshades to vehicle door window frames result in inaccurate positioning, leading to incomplete coverage of the window due to manual estimation of the magnetic attraction seat placement.
Innovation Solution
A method involving the use of first and second positioning members and a fixing member with an adhesive layer to accurately attach a vehicle side window shade to the door window frame, ensuring complete coverage by aligning the positioning members with the shade's magnetic member.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual estimation is used to position the magnetic attraction seat on the vehicle door window frame, then the installation process is simple and quick, but the positioning accuracy is insufficient resulting in incomplete window coverage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by first attaching positioning members to the vehicle door window frame before installing the magnetic attraction seat. The positioning members are pre-positioned at precise locations determined by the window's geometry, ensuring accurate placement of subsequent components. This preliminary positioning action eliminates the need for manual estimation during final installation, resolving the contradiction between installation simplicity and positioning accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The positioning members serve as intermediary elements between the vehicle door window frame and the magnetic attraction seat. These intermediaries provide precise reference points and physical guides that ensure the magnetic attraction seat is installed at the correct position. The positioning members mediate the installation process by translating the complex positioning requirements into simple, followable steps, maintaining both ease of operation and manufacturing precision.
2Productivity
If the magnetic attraction seat is installed without precise positioning guides, then the installation process is faster and requires fewer components, but the vehicle sunshade may not completely cover the vehicle window
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the installation system into distinct functional components: positioning members that define precise locations, magnetic attraction seats that provide magnetic force, and vehicle sunshades that deliver coverage. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently - positioning members ensure reliability through precise geometry, while the magnetic attraction seats and sunshades maintain simple, fast installation procedures. The modular segmented approach resolves the contradiction between installation speed and coverage completeness.
3Manufacturing precision
If positioning members are attached to define the mounting area, then the mounting area can be accurately determined, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning members are designed with multi-functionality to reduce overall device complexity. Each positioning member simultaneously serves multiple purposes: it defines the precise location of the magnetic attraction seat, establishes the mounting area boundaries, and provides alignment references for subsequent assembly steps. This universal multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate components for each function, resolving the contradiction between mounting area accuracy and device complexity.
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 method ensures precise installation of the shade, allowing it to fully cover the window by accurately determining the mounting area, enhancing installation accuracy and reusability of the positioning members.
Implementation Method 1
adhering the fixing member to the mounting area of the vehicle door window frame through an adhesive layer disposed on the fixing member
Implementation Method 2
The vehicle sunshade is provided with one or more magnetic members that exert a magnetic attraction force between the magnetic attraction seat and the magnetic member(s), so that the vehicle sunshade is attracted to the vehicle door window frame

AI summary
A method of installing a fixing member for a vehicle side window shade to a vehicle door window frame is provided, and includes: attaching a first positioning member to the vehicle door window frame when the vehicle side window shade is manually positioned relative to the vehicle door window frame at a proper position where the vehicle side window shade completely covers a side window, so that the first positioning member corresponds to a connecting member of the vehicle side window shade in position; attaching a second positioning member formed with an installation opening to the vehicle door window frame so that the installation opening corresponds to the first positioning member in position; and adhering the fixing member to a mounting area of the vehicle door window frame exposed from the installation opening through an adhesive layer disposed on the fixing member.
