Interlocking Ceramic Sheet Liner for Stable Spliced Connections
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The connection between spliced ceramic sheets in existing ceramic liners is unstable, leading to gaps and easy detachment due to inadequate adhesion and alignment, which compromises the integrity and durability of the liner.
Innovation Solution
A spliced ceramic sheet design featuring mating ribs and grooves with positioning structures, including protrusions and grooves that interlock and snap-fit, ensuring stable connections and sealing between adjacent sheets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If small flat ceramic sheets are spliced and adhered together to create wear-resistant liners, then the liners can be installed with good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, but the adhesion between ceramic sheets is not stable resulting in gaps and easy detachment
Solution Approach 1:
The ceramic sheet is divided into multiple spliced segments with mating ribs and grooves that interlock together. This segmentation allows for modular installation while maintaining structural integrity through the interlocking connection features between adjacent segments.
Solution Approach 2:
The mating rib of one ceramic sheet is inserted into the mating groove of the adjacent sheet, creating a nested interlocking structure. This nesting mechanism provides stable adhesion and prevents gaps between sheets, resolving the issue of unstable connection.
2Ease of manufacture
If ceramic sheets are spliced together using conventional adhesion methods, then installation is relatively simple, but the connection is not stable leading to position shaking and detachment
Solution Approach 1:
Positioning protrusions and cooperation grooves are pre-formed on the ceramic sheets during manufacturing. These preliminary positioning features ensure accurate alignment and stable connection during installation, eliminating the need for complex adjustment procedures while maintaining connection reliability.
