Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing thermal insulation methods for interior wall surfaces face challenges in providing effective and easy-to-install solutions, especially on curved surfaces and large areas, due to flexibility issues and the need for separate bonding of joints, which complicates installation and increases costs.
Innovation Solution
A wall element with an elastic insulating panel featuring slat-shaped lamellas made of wood-based material, which are spaced apart and arranged parallel to provide mechanical stabilization, allowing for easy attachment to flat and curved surfaces without the need for additional bonding, using an adhesive surface covered by a protective film for simplified installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If rigid insulation panels are used for thermal insulation, then insulation effectiveness is improved, but flexibility for curved surfaces and adaptability to uneven surfaces deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies this principle by using a flexible insulation panel made of elastomeric material that can conform to curved and uneven surfaces while maintaining continuous insulation coverage, eliminating the need for rigid panels that cannot adapt to surface variations
2Adaptability or versatility
If flexible insulation mats are used, then adaptability to curved surfaces is improved, but mechanical stability and ease of handling deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies this principle by incorporating reinforcement elements (fabric layers or mesh structures) at specific locations within the flexible insulation panel to provide localized mechanical stability and structural support while maintaining overall flexibility for conforming to surfaces
3Ease of operation
If traditional insulation panels with gaps are used, then ease of installation is improved, but insulation continuity and energy efficiency deteriorates due to air moisture penetration
Solution Approach 1:
The flexible insulation panel can be stretched and conform to the wall surface, eliminating gaps and joints between panels, thereby ensuring continuous insulation coverage and preventing air moisture penetration while maintaining ease of installation
4Reliability
If separate bonding of joints is required, then insulation continuity is improved, but installation complexity and time deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the insulation function with the structural continuity of the flexible panel, allowing multiple panels to be installed adjacent to each other without requiring separate bonding operations, as the flexible material naturally conforms to eliminate gaps and maintain insulation continuity

AI summary
A wall element for thermal insulation of an interior wall surface, having an elastic insulating panel, includes at least two slat-shaped lamellas. The at least two slat-shaped lamellas are spaced apart from one another and are arranged parallel to one another on a front side of the elastic insulating panel, so that the elastic insulating panel is mechanically stabilised by the slat-shaped lamellas. The slat-shaped lamellas include a wood-based material.
