Integrated Aviary Cage Tower Support Structure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for constructing aviaries are slow and costly due to the need for a separate support framework for the building and cage towers, which increases material requirements and construction time.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for constructing aviaries where the cage tower is supported by a plurality of support members, with a frame and walls attached to these members, allowing for faster assembly and reduced material usage by integrating the support structure directly into the cage tower design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a separate support framework is used for the building and cage towers, then the structural stability and safety are improved, but the construction time and material requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the building support framework and cage tower support members into a single integrated structure. The cage towers are positioned within the building framework such that the framework serves dual purposes: supporting the building structure and supporting the cage towers, thereby eliminating the need for separate support systems and reducing construction time
Solution Approach 2:
The building framework is designed to perform multiple functions: it provides structural support for the building itself and simultaneously serves as the support structure for the cage towers. This multi-functional design reduces the total amount of material needed and simplifies the construction process while maintaining structural integrity
2Strength
If a separate support framework is used for the building and cage towers, then the structural strength is improved, but the quantity of building materials increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the building framework and cage tower support members into one integrated structure, eliminating redundant materials. The framework members are designed to bear both building loads and cage tower loads, reducing the total quantity of steel or other structural materials required compared to having separate support systems
Solution Approach 2:
The framework is designed as a universal support structure that serves multiple functions: supporting the building roof and walls, and simultaneously supporting the cage towers. This multi-functionality reduces material consumption by eliminating the need for duplicate support structures
3Reliability
If a separate support framework is used for the building and cage towers, then the structural reliability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines two separate support systems (building framework and cage tower supports) into a single integrated framework, reducing construction complexity. The framework is designed with cage towers positioned within it, creating a unified structure that is simpler to construct and maintain than separate systems while maintaining structural reliability
