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 with a non-planar surface sandwiched between them, and a fixing means using adhesive and fastening elements to secure the boards, along with a hanging means for easy installation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If conventional fireproof boards are used, then fireproof effect is achieved, but mechanical strength and impact resistance are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemechanical strengthVSAvoidfireproof effect
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses composite materials by combining fireproof boards with a support board structure. The support board provides mechanical strength while the fireproof boards maintain fire resistance, creating a composite structure that resolves the contradiction between strength and fireproof reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The partition is segmented into multiple components: fireproof boards, support board, fixing means, and hanging means. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in its function - fireproof boards for fire resistance and support board for structural strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

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

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefireproof effectVSAvoidsound insulation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The composite structure of multiple boards with air gaps created by the support board system improves sound insulation while maintaining fireproof effects. The layered composite design blocks sound transmission paths.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Reliability

If conventional fireproof partitions are used, then fireproof effect is achieved, but weight is heavy making installation laborious

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefireproof effectVSAvoidweight
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The partition system is segmented into separate components (fireproof boards, support board, fixing means, hanging means) that can be assembled together. This segmentation enables lighter individual components compared to a single solid conventional partition while maintaining overall fireproof effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The support board acts as an intermediary element that provides structural function, allowing the use of thinner or lighter fireproof boards while maintaining overall structural integrity and fire resistance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Reliability

If conventional fireproof partitions are used, then fireproof effect is achieved, but installation requires great strength and is laborious

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefireproof effectVSAvoidease of installation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The partition is divided into modular segments with standardized fixing means and hanging means, making installation simpler and less labor-intensive compared to handling single heavy conventional partitions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The fixing means and hanging means act as intermediaries that simplify the installation process, providing standardized connection points that reduce the physical effort and skill required for installation while maintaining fireproof reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
