Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional building boards with curved surfaces are difficult to stack and package, prone to dust collection, and challenging to adjust in height due to their complex shapes and packaging requirements.

Innovation Solution

A flat building board with alternately arranged concave and convex parts that gradually change in width, allowing for curved surface effects while maintaining flatness, easy packaging, and adjustable height.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If a curved surface shape is formed on building boards to improve design properties, then the appearance and design properties are improved, but the building boards become difficult to stack and package, and tend to collapse

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecurved surface shapeVSAvoidstacking and packaging
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The curved surface effect is segmented into multiple concave and convex parts arranged alternately on a flat building board. This segmentation allows the board to maintain flatness for easy packaging while creating the visual appearance of a curved surface through the pattern of raised and recessed areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of forming an actual curved surface that is difficult to package, the invention inverts the approach by using a flat board with patterned concave and convex parts. The curvature is simulated rather than physically formed, making the board easy to package while achieving the desired aesthetic effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Shape

If a curved surface shape is formed on building boards to improve design properties, then the appearance is improved, but dust collects at the joint parts between curved surfaces and sections with different shapes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecurved surface shapeVSAvoiddust collection
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The surface is segmented into discrete concave and convex parts with defined boundaries. This segmentation creates clear transitions between different surface zones, preventing dust accumulation at ambiguous joint parts between curved surfaces and flat sections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different local areas of the building board have different surface qualities (concave or convex), but each local area maintains a clear, well-defined shape. This local differentiation with clear boundaries prevents dust collection while maintaining design properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Shape

If a curved surface shape is formed on building boards to improve design properties, then the aesthetic appearance is improved, but it becomes difficult to adjust the heights of the curved surface and sections with different shapes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecurved surface shapeVSAvoidheight adjustment
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The building board is segmented into multiple concave and convex parts with consistent, well-defined shapes. This segmentation allows for easy height adjustment by standardizing the dimensions of each segment, making it simpler to coordinate and adjust different parts of the building board.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Each local area (concave or convex part) has consistent and standardized dimensions. This local standardization facilitates height adjustment across different sections of the building board, as each segment can be independently measured and adjusted using the same reference standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

4Shape

If the widths of concave and convex parts change gradually to achieve curved surface effects, then the curved surface appearance is improved, but the packaging and stacking become more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecurved surface effectsVSAvoidpackaging complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The gradual width change is achieved through segmentation into discrete concave and convex parts. Each segment has a defined width that contributes to the overall curved appearance, while the segmented structure maintains simplicity in packaging and stacking operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The widths of the concave and convex parts are systematically varied to create the curved surface effect. By controlling the width parameter across the different segments, the desired curved appearance is achieved while maintaining a structured pattern that simplifies packaging.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The present invention provides a building board having a flat shape in which a plurality of concave parts and convex parts are formed on a surface thereof, wherein the concave parts and the convex parts are arranged alternately and extend in the same direction, and wherein the concave parts and the convex parts are arranged such that widths thereof in a direction, in which the concave parts and the convex parts are alternately arranged, change gradually. It is preferred that the plurality of concave parts and convex parts be arranged such that the widths of the plurality of concave parts gradually increase or decrease and the widths of the plurality of convex parts gradually decrease or increase, in the direction in which the concave parts and the convex parts are alternately arranged.
