Keel Frame Wall Construction with Mounting Strips
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional curtain wall structures face challenges with installation safety, material costs, and stability under natural forces due to exposed skeletons and complex panel installation processes.
Innovation Solution
A wall construction method using keel frames with transverse and longitudinal keels, mounting strips, and trim strips that allow panel units to be installed from indoors to outdoors, providing structural support and protection while reducing material costs and simplifying installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If traditional curtain wall structures with exposed skeletons are used, then the structural strength can be ensured, but the material cost increases and the skeleton requires special protective materials
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies this principle by using ordinary ferrous materials for the keel frame instead of expensive aluminum alloys, and protecting them with mounting strips that prevent corrosion. The keel frame serves as a temporary structural support during construction that is later concealed, allowing the use of cheaper materials that would otherwise be unsuitable for exposed applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines ordinary ferrous materials with protective coating materials (mounting strips) to create a composite structure. The ferrous keel frame provides structural strength while the mounting strips provide corrosion protection, achieving both strength and durability at lower cost than using expensive corrosion-resistant materials alone.
2Stability of the object's composition
If panel units are installed in traditional curtain wall structures, then the wall enclosure is achieved, but the installation process becomes complex and requires outdoor installation causing inconvenience and safety issues
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the traditional installation sequence by enabling panel units to be installed from the indoor side rather than requiring outdoor installation. The mounting strips are designed with features that allow panels to be attached by pushing them from inside the building, reversing the conventional approach and eliminating the need for workers to install panels at height outdoors.
Solution Approach 2:
The mounting strip serves as an intermediary component between the keel frame and panel units. It provides a mechanism that translates indoor installation forces into secure attachment, mediating the interaction between the installer (indoor) and the panel (traditionally requiring outdoor installation).
3Ease of operation
If connecting parts and embedded parts are used to support the curtain wall, then the curtain wall can be hung outdoors, but the connecting parts may cause bending deformation and fracture under lateral support loads
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-installing the mounting strips on the keel frame before panel installation. This preliminary setup creates a stable attachment mechanism that distributes loads evenly, preventing the bending deformation and fracture that would occur with direct connection of heavy panels to thin connecting parts.
4Duration of action of stationary object
If high-strength materials are used for the skeleton, then the service life can be improved, but the cost increases and corrosion protection may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent treats the keel frame as a temporary structural element that serves its purpose during construction and is then concealed by the wall panels. This allows the use of cheaper ferrous materials instead of expensive long-lasting materials, as the keel frame does not need to maintain its structural integrity indefinitely once the permanent wall structure is in place.
