Capsule Room Frame and Hollow Panel Assembly for Better Insulation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional capsule beds require significant time and effort for assembly and installation, and they lack adequate air tightness, sound insulation, and thermal insulation performance.
Innovation Solution
A capsule room unit is designed with a horizontally oblong rectangular parallelepiped room framework composed of extruded materials with longitudinally consecutive grooves, where synthetic resin or FRP hollow panel materials with flanges are fitted into the grooves to form the ceiling, floor, and walls, allowing for easy assembly and enhanced insulation performance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional capsule beds are assembled using separate support frames and panel components, then structural strength is achieved, but assembly time and labor effort increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the support frame and panel components into an integrated extruded material structure. The extruded material simultaneously provides structural support and panel functions, eliminating the need for separate assembly of frames and panels, thereby reducing assembly time and labor effort while maintaining structural strength.
Solution Approach 2:
The extruded material serves multiple functions: it acts as both the structural support frame and the panel material. This multi-functional design reduces the total number of components needed and simplifies the assembly process, directly addressing the contradiction between assembly productivity and device complexity.
2Reliability
If conventional capsule beds use separate frame and panel structures, then manufacturing flexibility is maintained, but air tightness and sound insulation performance are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
By merging the frame and panel into a single extruded material component, the patent eliminates gaps and joints between separate parts. This integrated structure provides superior air tightness and sound insulation performance while avoiding the complexity of multiple sealing components and assembly steps.
3Reliability
If conventional capsule beds are assembled with multiple separate components, then ease of repair is improved, but thermal insulation performance remains insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs composite extruded materials that integrate structural support and insulation functions. The extruded material is designed with internal structures or material compositions that provide thermal insulation properties while maintaining structural strength, achieving improved thermal insulation performance without increasing manufacturing complexity.

AI summary
A capsule room unit for use as a capsule bed or other private space has a horizontally oblong rectangular parallelepiped room framework formed by columns, beams and panel materials fitted into the room framework to constitute a ceiling, a floor and walls, wherein the columns and the beams are composed of extruded materials each having a longitudinally consecutive groove. The panel materials of the ceiling and walls are composed of synthetic resin or FRP hollow panel materials each having peripheral flanges at a periphery along a plane direction, and the flanges of the hollow panel material are inserted and fitted to the grooves of the extruded materials.
