Innovation Solution

An assembled light steel structure energy-saving composite wall design featuring a cement board and/or ceramic tile, columns, support rods, cross beams, diagonal braces, and diagonal draw steel bars, with a specific configuration of bolt holes and fasteners for easy assembly and decoration, using a filler like construction waste or stainless steel air box for insulation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If existing composite wall designs are used, then structural stability is achieved, but assembly convenience and transportation ease deteriorate due to complex foundation requirements and special processing needs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassembly convenienceVSAvoidfoundation requirement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The composite wall is divided into modular components including steel frames, insulation boards, and cladding panels that can be independently manufactured and assembled. This segmentation eliminates the need for complex foundation processing and enables convenient assembly through standardized connection nodes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The steel frame structure serves multiple functions: providing structural support, enabling assembly connection, and facilitating transportation. The universal connection nodes can adapt to different wall configurations without requiring special processing, improving ease of operation while reducing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If existing composite wall designs are used, then structural integrity is maintained, but transportation convenience deteriorates due to special processing requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransportation convenienceVSAvoidspecial processing requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The wall system is segmented into standardized modules that can be manufactured independently and transported efficiently. The steel frames, insulation boards, and cladding are designed as separate components with standardized dimensions, eliminating special processing requirements and improving transportation convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The design adopts standardized parameter specifications for steel frame dimensions, connection node sizes, and panel dimensions. These standardized parameters enable mass production without special processing and facilitate convenient transportation and assembly, directly addressing the contradiction between transportation convenience and manufacturing ease.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If existing composite wall designs are used, then basic wall function is achieved, but adaptability to various wall bodies deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to various wall bodiesVSAvoiddecoration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The steel frame connection nodes are designed with universal adaptability to accommodate different wall configurations and loading conditions. The standardized connection system can be applied to various wall bodies without increasing overall system complexity, enabling wide adaptability while maintaining design simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The connection nodes incorporate adjustable and modular features that allow the wall system to adapt dynamically to different installation requirements and wall body types. This dynamic design capability enhances versatility without requiring complex customizations for each application scenario.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Productivity

If traditional wall installation methods are used, then installation is completed, but time consumption and labor cost increase due to separate interior and exterior decoration requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation efficiencyVSAvoiddecoration time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The steel frame structure integrates structural support, insulation, and cladding functions into a unified system. The exterior cladding panels are directly mounted on the steel frames, eliminating the need for separate interior and exterior decoration processes. This merging of functions significantly improves installation efficiency and reduces time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The insulation boards and cladding panels are pre-assembled and pre-finished during manufacturing, completing decoration functions before installation. This preliminary action eliminates post-installation decoration steps, directly improving productivity and reducing time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
