Solution Overview

Problem

Existing support structures for ceiling plates do not efficiently allow support bars to intersect vertically and horizontally without breaking, necessitating cutting, which complicates the installation process and stability of ceiling panels.

Innovation Solution

A support structure featuring a hanging member, ceiling plate support bar with a channel, and a hammer bolt that allows for secure coupling without cutting, along with a hinge and elastic grip mechanism for stable mounting of ceiling panels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If support bars are cut to allow intersection, then installation of ceiling panels becomes possible, but the installation process becomes complicated and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation processVSAvoidinstallation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The support bar is segmented into two perpendicular sections that intersect without cutting, allowing the bar to form a cross-shaped support structure. This segmentation enables the support bars to intersect vertically and horizontally without breaking or cutting, thereby simplifying the installation process and reducing installation time while maintaining structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If support bars are cut to intersect, then ceiling panels can be mounted, but the structural integrity and stability are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting capabilityVSAvoidstructural integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The support bar is divided into perpendicular segments that intersect to form a cross-shaped structure, allowing ceiling panels to be mounted at multiple locations without compromising the continuous structural integrity of the support bars.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The intersecting support bars are nested within a standardized configuration where horizontal and vertical bars interlock, creating a stable framework that maintains structural strength while enabling panel mounting at intersection points.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Productivity

If support bars intersect without cutting, then installation process is simplified, but a standardized configuration for intersection is needed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation efficiencyVSAvoidsupport bar configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The support bar is designed with a universal standardized configuration at intersection points, allowing both horizontal and vertical bars to connect in a consistent manner. This standardized design enables simplified installation across different locations while maintaining a systematic and organized support structure.

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