Exhaust Pipe Accessory Assembly for Structural Form Support
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Commercial kitchen and building heating exhaust ventilation systems require enhanced structural strength and form support to ensure safety and compliance with regulations, particularly due to the toxic nature of gases and particles involved, which existing systems struggle to provide efficiently.
Innovation Solution
A pipe and accessory assembly where a securely mated accessory with a specific outer diameter ratio to the exhaust pipe enhances structural strength and form support, applicable to both single-wall and double-wall systems, using materials like stainless steel and galvanized steel, and affixed using various methods to improve assembly efficiency and safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If traditional exhaust pipe systems are used without additional structural support, then assembly is simpler and faster, but structural strength and form support are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies composite materials by combining the exhaust pipe with a separately affixed accessory component to create a composite structure. The accessory, made from materials such as stainless steel or galvanized steel, is securely attached to the exhaust pipe to form a composite assembly that provides enhanced structural strength and form support while maintaining the functional integrity of the original exhaust system.
2Strength
If traditional exhaust pipe systems are used without additional structural support, then assembly time and resources are reduced, but structural integrity is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The accessory is designed to be pre-formed and ready for attachment, with all necessary structural features already in place. This preliminary preparation allows for quick installation onto the exhaust pipe without requiring complex on-site fabrication or assembly procedures, thereby minimizing assembly time while ensuring the structural integrity is achieved through the pre-engineered accessory design.
3Strength
If accessory with larger outer diameter is used to enhance structural strength, then form support is improved, but space requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The accessory is designed to provide localized structural reinforcement at specific areas where form support is most needed, rather than uniformly increasing the diameter of the entire exhaust pipe system. The accessory can be strategically positioned and sized to provide maximum structural benefit while minimizing the overall space occupation, allowing the exhaust system to maintain its original footprint in most areas.
