Solution Overview

Problem

Existing outer-wall heat-insulating finishing materials face misalignment and reduced adhesion due to the application of mortar, leading to tiles not remaining attached for a long time against various external forces.

Innovation Solution

The use of interval plates with a changed shape and intaglio patterns on the heat-insulating material, combined with mortar application on the tiles' surfaces, enhances the attachment area and grip, ensuring tiles remain securely attached despite external forces through a maximized contact area and reinforced patterns.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If mortar is applied to the surface of heat insulation followed by attaching a finish, then the construction is simplified, but misalignment and lowered adhesion occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconstruction simplicityVSAvoidalignment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

Interval plates are pre-installed on the heat insulating material surface before mortar application and tile attachment. These plates establish predetermined intervals and alignment positions, ensuring precise spacing between tiles while maintaining construction simplicity. The plates serve as pre-prepared guides that prevent misalignment during the finishing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of manufacture

If mortar is applied to attach finish to heat insulation, then construction is simplified, but adhesion deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconstruction simplicityVSAvoidadhesion strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Interval plates act as intermediary elements between the heat insulating material and the tiles. The plates provide additional attachment points and distribute mechanical stresses, enhancing the overall adhesion system. By introducing these intermediate components, the construction maintains simplicity while significantly improving attachment reliability against external forces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of manufacture

If tiles are attached using conventional mortar application, then construction is simple, but tiles do not remain attached for a long time against external forces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconstruction simplicityVSAvoidattachment duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

Interval plates are installed beforehand to establish a stable framework for tile attachment. This preliminary action creates predetermined attachment points and ensures proper spacing, allowing tiles to be securely mounted with improved long-term durability against environmental stresses such as wind, temperature changes, and mechanical loads.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
