About X-Space Fenèt Chape Dife

X-Space se yon fenèt chape dife ki fèt pou chanm rezidansyèl kote pasaj la ka bloke pandan yon dife. Konsepsyon an se yon refonte ankadreman fenèt la ak yon sipò estrikti wotatif ki fèt ak senk pati ki entèraji dapre prensip mekanik. Vire manch la 180 degre nan sans anti-orè a deklanche alam lan epi avèti ponpye yo. Lè w louvri fenèt la apre sa, sa kreye yon espas deyò miray la. Yon vòlè ki reziste dife ki kache nan aks sipò a rale soti pou izole dife ak lafimen pandan moun yo ap tann sekou.

Production Technology
Our project is kind of model combination design, combine with 5 holder parts. All holder interacting by mechanical principal with each other.
Design Challenge
The challenge of our design is that we cannot find a suitable material in smoke control and thermal isolated. After a number of tests in the selection of materials, we finally find the proper material which achieves the desired effect.
Research
In some kinds of situations of the fire that passageway has been blocked in accident. No matter what you do, you cannot escape from the fire through the door. Once fire coming up, the dark smoke billows on it’s heels. According to the data, as long as you get away from the fire in 3 minutes, the chance you will alive are occupied the certain proportion. Thus, we try to find a appropriate way in product design which can make people get away from the fire immediately. Finally, we find our point in window frame redesign.
Inspiration
By considering those circumstance always appearance in fire accident like passageway has been blocked so that the person inside the room cannot escape the scene of a fire immediately. To offer a better solution for trapped person get away form the fire quickly, we find the point in window frame redesign. We offer you X-Space, a redesign of window frame, the quickly way to get away from the fire and smoke.
Project Duration
The project started in August 2016 in LAFA Communal Facility Design Studio and finished in February 2017 in National Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center of Industrial Design in LAFA.
Operation Flow
In usual days, when you want to open your window, turn the handle into 90 degrees anti-clockwise. When fire coming up, turn the handle into 180 degrees anti-clockwise to trigger the fire alarm. As this time, if you open the window, all holder interacting by mechanical principal with each other are relevant with it. After all family members come into the X-Space waiting for rescued, you should pull out the fire resisting shutter which is hidden in the holder axis to cover the window position therefore it will constitute a safety space isolated the fire and smoke.
