Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional fireproof partitions are vulnerable to impacts, poor in sound insulation, and heavy, making them difficult to install without great strength.

Innovation Solution

A fireproof partition design comprising two fireproof boards made of a fireproof material, a support board between them, and a fixing means to secure the boards together, along with a hanging means for easy installation on building structures.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional fireproof boards are used for partitions, then fireproof effect is achieved, but mechanical strength is insufficient and vulnerability to impacts increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefireproof effectVSAvoidmechanical strength

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a composite structure consisting of two fireproof boards sandwiching a support board, creating a multi-layer composite partition system. This composite construction combines the fireproof properties of the fireproof boards with the structural support of the support board, achieving both fire resistance and enhanced mechanical strength simultaneously

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The invention merges multiple functional components (fireproof boards for fire protection, support board for structural strength, fixing means for assembly, and hanging means for installation) into a single integrated partition system. This merging allows the partition to simultaneously achieve fireproof effect, mechanical strength, and ease of installation

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If conventional fireproof boards are used for partitions, then fireproof effect is achieved, but sound insulation performance is poor

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefireproof effectVSAvoidsound insulation

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The multi-layer composite structure with two fireproof boards and a support board creates multiple interfaces and layers that impede sound transmission. The combination of different materials and the sandwich construction enhance sound insulation performance while maintaining fireproof effectiveness

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

3Reliability

If conventional fireproof partitions are constructed with single fireproof boards, then fireproof effect is achieved, but weight increases making installation laborious

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefireproof effectVSAvoidpartition weight

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The partition is segmented into multiple components (two fireproof boards, one support board, fixing means, and hanging means) that can be separately manufactured and assembled. This segmentation allows for optimized material usage and enables easier handling and installation compared to a single monolithic structure

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The hanging means are pre-provided on the fireproof partition, allowing for preliminary attachment to building structures. This preliminary action facilitates easier and more efficient installation by enabling the partition to be hung rather than requiring heavy lifting and complex mounting procedures

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action
