Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional steel structure buildings are heavy, costly, and require oversized beam and column sections, which limit space layout flexibility and damage heat-insulating and decorating materials, reducing their performance.

Innovation Solution

An aluminum alloy house structure with individual wallboards, floor panels, and roof panels connected using specific corner materials and surface eaves, featuring retaining grooves, bulges, and clasping mechanisms for secure assembly without the need for bottom crossbeams and upright columns, enhancing anti-bending and waterproof performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If steel structure is used to build houses, then structural strength is improved, but weight increases and material cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidweight

Core Design Contradiction:

StrengthVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameter from steel to aluminum alloy, which has lower density and weight while maintaining sufficient structural strength through optimized alloy composition and structural design

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses aluminum alloy as a composite material that combines lightweight properties with adequate strength, replacing traditional steel structure to achieve both weight reduction and structural integrity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

2Strength

If steel structure is used to build houses, then structural strength is improved, but material cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidmaterial cost

Core Design Contradiction:

StrengthVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameter from steel to aluminum alloy, which has lower material cost while maintaining sufficient structural strength through optimized alloy composition and structural design

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adopts aluminum alloy which is more cost-effective than steel, reducing material investment while maintaining adequate structural performance for residential buildings

Inventive Principle:

Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

3Adaptability or versatility

If large-span space is created without vertical structure, then space layout flexibility is improved, but beam and column sections become oversized

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvespace layout flexibilityVSAvoidbeam and column sections

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the building into modular components with standardized dimensions, allowing flexible arrangement of wallboards, floor panels, and roof panels without requiring oversized support structures

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from traditional three-dimensional structural support to a two-dimensional panel assembly system, where panels are connected through corner materials and surface eaves to create large-span spaces without vertical columns

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

4Reliability

If fixing members are used to mount heat-insulating materials, then material fixation is improved, but wallboards and roof panels are damaged

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvematerial fixationVSAvoiddamage to wallboards and roof panels

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces C-shaped mounting notches as an intermediary structure that allows heat-insulating materials to be mounted without directly fixing to wallboards and roof panels, thereby preventing damage while ensuring secure fixation

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

5Reliability

If fixing members are used to mount heat-insulating materials, then material fixation is improved, but heat-insulating performance is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvematerial fixationVSAvoidheat-insulating performance

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the mounting function from the wallboards and roof panels themselves, creating separate C-shaped notches that serve as dedicated mounting structures, thereby preserving the heat-insulating properties of the main panels

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A house has an aluminum alloy structure with a mounting connection structure of aluminum wallboards, aluminum roof panels, aluminum floor panels and corner connecting materials. Connecting parts of the aluminum wallboards, the aluminum roof panels, the aluminum floor panels and the corner connecting materials are provided with convex and concave retaining grooves. The aluminum wallboards, the aluminum roof panels, the aluminum floor panels and the corner connecting materials are embedded with one another in mounting connection and then fixed by bolts or screws. The integral connection structure of various components has higher anti-bending performance, anti-torque performance, anti-impact performance and stability, reduces or avoids the use of bottom crossbeams, upright columns and ring beams, and increases the utilization space of the house. Aluminum surface eaves are designed to enhance the waterproof performance of wall surfaces of the house and also enhance the artistic performance of the house. The house having the aluminum alloy structure has the characteristics of good waterproof performance and convenience in mounting while saving a sealing material.
