Woven Textile Blind Structure for Durable Light Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional textile blinds have a complex structure and high manufacturing costs, are heavy due to metal or wood slats, and fail to effectively adjust light transmission, with thermal-bonded parts deteriorating under solar exposure.
Innovation Solution
A textile blind with a woven structure using low melt fibers and rubber threads, where slat textiles are united with front and back textiles by weaving, with heat treatment to enhance durability and prevent moire phenomena, allowing for easy adjustment and installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If thermal treatment is used to bond textile slats in conventional blinds, then the slats are initially held together, but the adhered parts deteriorate and fall apart when exposed to solar lights for long periods
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the bonding mechanism from thermal treatment to weaving, fundamentally altering how slats are united. The slats are woven together with front and back textiles to form uniting parts, eliminating the thermal bonding process that deteriorates under UV exposure. This parameter change in the bonding method resolves the reliability issue under solar exposure.
2Reliability
If metal or wood slats are used in Venetian blinds to upgrade quality, then the blind structure is improved, but the blind becomes much heavier and difficult to install
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses composite materials by weaving together textile slats with front and back textiles to form a unified structure. This textile composite replaces heavy metal or wood slats while maintaining structural integrity through the woven construction. The composite textile structure achieves the necessary strength and durability without the excessive weight of traditional materials.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs flexible textile materials instead of rigid metal or wood slats. The textile slats are woven into a flexible yet structurally sound blind that can be easily installed and adjusted. This transition to flexible textile materials reduces weight while maintaining the functional requirements of the blind structure.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional Venetian blind structures are used to adjust lighting, then light control is possible, but the structure becomes complicated and manufacturing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the light-adjustment function directly into the textile blind structure itself through the woven construction. The ability to raise and lower the blind to control light entry is integrated into the single textile unit, eliminating the need for separate complex Venetian blind mechanisms with multiple slats and adjustment components. This merging simplifies the overall structure while maintaining light control versatility.
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 woven textile blind offers a lightweight, durable, and cost-effective solution with simplified structure and improved light control, preventing folds and maintaining functionality under solar exposure.
Implementation Method 1
a low melt fiber is used as the woof of the textile blind, and the textile blind is woven to be united and then heat is applied by a Tenter to allow the low melt fiber to be melt-bonded

AI summary
The present invention provides a textile blind united by weaving, which is formed as a single body by weaving slat textiles along a width between a front textile and a back textile in parallel with each other, wherein the slat textiles are arranged along the height of the front and back textiles to make the textile blind easily block lights.
