Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional composite panels fail to effectively prevent the spread of fire when installed without a retaining wall, as they cannot be directly constructed to the wall, leading to potential fire hazards and increased risk of human casualties.

Innovation Solution

A composite panel structure that covers the exterior of insulation materials with mortar and bonds ultra-slim stone tiles, using vertical or horizontal bars to create a fire-blocking layer, along with asbestos boards, to manage fire safety and prevent fire spread, even in the absence of a retaining wall.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional composite panels are installed without a retaining wall, then construction flexibility is improved, but fire spread prevention capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconstruction flexibilityVSAvoidfire spread prevention capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies composite materials by combining insulation material with mortar and ultra-slim stone tiles in a layered structure. This composite construction provides both the flexibility needed for installation without retaining walls and the fire resistance required to prevent fire spread, resolving the contradiction between construction flexibility and fire safety reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces mortar as an intermediary material that bonds the insulation material to the ultra-slim stone tiles and creates a fire-resistant barrier. This intermediary layer enables the panel to function effectively without a retaining wall while maintaining fire spread prevention capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If insulation material is used without protective covering, then installation simplicity is improved, but fire resistance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation simplicityVSAvoidfire resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the insulation material with protective coverings (mortar and ultra-slim stone tiles) into a single integrated panel unit. This combination maintains installation simplicity while providing the necessary fire resistance, as the protective layers are incorporated during manufacturing rather than requiring separate installation steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-covering the insulation material with mortar and ultra-slim stone tiles during manufacturing before installation. This preliminary protective covering ensures fire resistance is built-in from the start, eliminating the need for additional fire protection steps during installation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If multiple separate components are used for fire protection, then fire safety is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefire safetyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple fire protection functions into a single integrated panel structure that combines insulation material, mortar coating, and ultra-slim stone tiles. This unified design achieves comprehensive fire safety while reducing structural complexity by eliminating the need for separate fire protection components and installation steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a multi-functional panel that simultaneously provides thermal insulation, fire resistance, and structural protection. The ultra-slim stone tiles serve multiple purposes: aesthetic finishing, fire barrier, and structural reinforcement, thereby achieving fire safety without increasing device complexity through additional specialized components.

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

AI summary

The present invention relates to a wall coupling structure using an exterior composite panel in which an insulation panel unit is combined with an ultra-slim stone panel for fire safety management, and more specifically, to a wall coupling structure using an exterior composite panel which is designed for construction in the absence of a retaining wall, has excellent aesthetics and strength, can prevent whitening and condensation, can allow mass production, and can reduce manufacturing costs and construction time due to convenience of construction. The vertical-horizontal frame structure (200) includes a vertical bar (210) and a horizontal bar (220) formed as a quadrangular frame for installation of the composite panel outside a retaining wall. The vertical bar (210) includes an upper vertical bar (210a) and a lower vertical bar (210b) and is connected by an expansion joint (230) at a portion at which an access floor (AF) is formed. Therefore, the wall coupling structure using an exterior composite panel can prevent a fire from spreading due to an insulation material during a fire by covering the exterior of the insulation material, which is used for buffering such as supporting, with mortar and bonding a slim stone material to a surface of the insulation material.
