Insulation Injection Apparatus for Block Cavities
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing insulation materials for constructional blocks are pre-formed and difficult to size and engage, requiring resins for fixation, which increases construction costs and time.
Innovation Solution
An injection apparatus and method for injecting a prepared insulation material mixture into cavities of constructional blocks, featuring a receptacle with outlet pipes and connection rods that can be opened or closed to control material injection, reducing the need for resins and improving adherence.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If pre-formed insulation materials are used with constructional blocks, then thermal insulation properties are improved, but sizing and engagement difficulties increase and construction costs rise due to required resins
Solution Approach 1:
The insulation material is transformed from pre-formed solid state to injectable liquid/semi-liquid state, allowing it to flow into cavities and adapt to any size or shape required, eliminating sizing and engagement difficulties while maintaining thermal insulation properties
Solution Approach 2:
An injection apparatus serves as an intermediary device to deliver the insulation material directly into block cavities, replacing the need for manual sizing, positioning, and resin application processes
2Temperature
If pre-formed insulation materials with resins are used, then thermal insulation is achieved, but construction time and workmanship requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The insulation material is prepared in advance in liquid or semi-liquid form within the injection apparatus, ready for immediate injection into blocks, eliminating on-site preparation, sizing, and resin application steps that consume construction time
Solution Approach 2:
The injection process allows continuous filling of multiple block cavities in sequence without interruption for repositioning or applying separate fixation materials, maintaining continuous productive action throughout the construction process
3Ease of operation
If liquid or semi-liquid insulation material is injected, then ease of injection and precision are improved, but adherence to cavity walls must be ensured without resins
Solution Approach 1:
The insulation material undergoes parameter change from liquid/semi-liquid state during injection to solid state after setting, enabling easy injection followed by reliable adherence to cavity walls without requiring additional resin materials
Solution Approach 2:
The insulation material performs self-service by automatically adhering to the cavity walls through its own chemical or physical properties during the setting process, eliminating the need for separate resin application and fixation steps
