Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional techniques face challenges in achieving full impregnation of thick wood boards with chemical agents to provide non-combustibility and ensure adhesion performance, leading to delamination over time.

Innovation Solution

A board material processing composition comprising a carbonization promotion component (e.g., boric acid), chain inhibition component (e.g., ammonium dihydrogen phosphate), and binder particles (e.g., silica sand) is used to promote carbonization, inhibit reaction chains, and enhance adhesion, with features like holes in the board material to facilitate impregnation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If multiple thin board materials are laminated to achieve thick wood with non-combustibility, then non-combustibility is improved, but adhesion performance deteriorates and delamination occurs over time

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecombustibilityVSAvoidadhesion performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a specific adhesive composition as an intermediary substance between the board materials. This adhesive contains polyvinyl acetate resin, polyurethane resin, and isocyanate compound in controlled proportions, acting as a mediator that bonds the laminated boards while resisting moisture and heat. The adhesive layer prevents direct contact between board surfaces, eliminating the delamination problem that occurs with conventional adhesives.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a composite adhesive system combining multiple resin types (polyvinyl acetate, polyurethane, and isocyanate compounds) to achieve both bonding strength and moisture resistance. This composite material approach allows the adhesive to maintain flexibility and adhesion under varying environmental conditions, preventing the delamination that would occur with single-component adhesives.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-affected harmful factors

If chemical agents are impregnated into thick board materials to provide non-combustibility, then fire resistance is improved, but full impregnation becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefire resistanceVSAvoidimpregnation completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides thick board materials into multiple thin layers before impregnation. This segmentation allows the chemical fire-retardant agents to fully penetrate each thin layer, ensuring complete and uniform impregnation throughout the entire thickness. The segmented structure eliminates the penetration depth limitations that prevent effective treatment of solid thick boards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the problem from a three-dimensional impregnation challenge (penetrating deep into thick boards) to a series of two-dimensional surface treatments (treating thin layers). By changing the dimensional approach from treating one thick board to treating multiple thin boards that are subsequently laminated, complete chemical impregnation becomes achievable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Strength

If conventional adhesives are used to laminate board materials, then board materials are bonded together, but adhesion performance deteriorates over time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding strengthVSAvoidadhesion durability
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent precisely controls the compositional parameters of the adhesive, specifying exact proportions of polyvinyl acetate resin (30-70 parts), polyurethane resin (10-40 parts), and isocyanate compound (5-20 parts). This parameter optimization ensures the adhesive maintains optimal bonding strength while developing enhanced durability and moisture resistance over time, preventing the degradation that occurs with conventional adhesives.
