Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional floor sound-insulating systems require separate construction from dry heating systems, leading to increased construction time, costs, and weight, compromising safety and efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A floor sound-insulating type heating system integrating a panel with concavo-convex portions and a heat-insulating member, allowing for efficient coupling and reduced weight, using polypropylene materials for the panel and expanded polystyrene or polyurethane foams for the heat-insulating member, with prop members and horizontality regulators for enhanced sound and heat insulation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a floor sound-insulating system and a dry floor heating system are constructed separately, then each system can be optimized independently, but the total thickness of the floor system increases and construction time and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the sound-insulating member and heat-insulating member into a single integrated panel structure. The panel includes both components formed as one piece, eliminating the need for separate construction of sound insulation and heating systems. This merging reduces the total floor system thickness while maintaining both sound insulation and heating functions, directly resolving the contradiction between independent optimization and total thickness reduction.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated panel serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides sound insulation through the sound-insulating member, heat insulation through the heat-insulating member, and structural support. By designing a universal component that performs multiple functions, the patent eliminates the need for separate sound-insulating system and heating system constructions, thereby reducing overall thickness and construction complexity.
2Reliability
If a floor sound-insulating system and a dry floor heating system are constructed separately, then each system can be optimized independently, but construction time and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the sound-insulating member and heat-insulating member into a single integrated panel that can be installed as one unit. This eliminates the sequential construction process where sound insulation must be completed before heating system installation, thereby reducing construction time and improving productivity while maintaining sound insulation performance.
Solution Approach 2:
The sound-insulating member and heat-insulating member are pre-formed as an integrated panel structure before installation. This preliminary integration of multiple functions into a single component allows for faster on-site installation compared to constructing sound insulation and heating systems separately, thereby improving construction efficiency and reducing costs.
3Reliability
If a floor sound-insulating system and a dry floor heating system are constructed separately, then each system can be optimized independently, but the total weight of the floor system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the sound-insulating member and heat-insulating member into a single integrated panel, eliminating the need for separate sound-insulating system and heating system constructions. This merging reduces the total material quantity and structural redundancy, thereby reducing the overall weight of the floor system while maintaining sound insulation performance.
4Reliability
If the floor system thickness is increased to accommodate separate sound-insulating and heating systems, then both functions can be provided, but floor-to-floor spans are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates the sound-insulating member and heat-insulating member into a single panel structure, consolidating the thickness requirement for both sound insulation and heat insulation functions into one optimized component. This integration allows for more efficient space utilization and maintains larger floor-to-floor spans compared to separate system constructions that would require additional clearance and structural support.
