Magnet Device Translational Movement Formwork Alignment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing formwork systems face challenges in precise positioning due to swivel movements of magnet members, which cause forces that can displace or twist already aligned formwork elements, making accurate alignment difficult.
Innovation Solution
A formwork system where the magnet device is movably coupled to the formwork support and can be displaced between raised and lowered positions in a translational movement, avoiding swiveling, with a guide device allowing for detachable and strong coupling, and a formwork support with a C-shaped profile and stiffening elements for enhanced stability and flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the magnet member is swiveled from the raised position to the lowered position, then the formwork support can be fixed on the formwork base, but significant forces occur that displace or twist the already positioned formwork elements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional swiveling mechanical movement with a translational movement mechanism. The magnet device moves linearly along the longitudinal axis of the formwork support from the raised position to the lowered position, eliminating the rotational forces that caused displacement and twisting of formwork elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a dynamic translational mechanism where the magnet device can move along the longitudinal axis of the formwork support. This dynamic movement allows the magnet member to be positioned at different locations (raised or lowered) without causing harmful forces to the formwork system.
2Ease of operation
If the magnet device is movably coupled to the formwork support, then the magnet member can be transferred between raised and lowered positions in translational movement, but the coupling mechanism adds device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the magnet device into separable components that can be detachably coupled to the formwork support. The magnet device can be moved independently along the longitudinal axis and then coupled or decoupled from the formwork support, simplifying the overall system architecture and making positioning easier.
Solution Approach 2:
The formwork support is designed with a universal coupling interface that can accommodate the magnet device in different positions along its longitudinal axis. This universal coupling mechanism allows the same structure to serve multiple functions: supporting the formwork piece, guiding the magnet device, and providing detachable coupling points.

Function Achieved in This Case
This solution enables precise and simple positioning of formwork pieces with reduced risk of displacement or twisting, allowing for more accurate and efficient alignment and concrete filling processes.
Implementation Method 1
the magnet device has a magnet member, which can be transferred between a raised position, in which the formwork support can be moved together with the magnet device relative to the formwork base, and a lowered position in which the formwork system is magnetically fixed relative to the formwork base

AI summary
The invention relates to a formwork system with a formwork support preferably for supporting at least one formwork piece, and a magnet device, movably coupled to the formwork support, for fixing the position of the formwork support on a formwork base, wherein the magnet device has a magnet member, which can be transferred between a raised position, in which the formwork support can be moved together with the magnet device relative to the formwork base, and a lowered position in which the formwork system is magnetically fixed relative to the formwork base. Advantageously, with the present invention the magnet device for transferring the magnet member between the raised position and the lowered position is movable relative to the formwork support.
