Solution Overview

Problem

Existing magnetic building panels face inefficiencies in assembly and complex mechanisms for fixing magnetic elements, limiting their manufacturing and usage, with a narrow range of materials and low performance properties.

Innovation Solution

The construction magnetic panel features a base with magnetic structures arranged on its inner side or within its body, using a flexible or rigid base made from materials like glass, metal, or fabric, with magnetic particles capable of magnetic interaction, and a decorative ornament on the front side, allowing for easy attachment and detachment without skilled labor or special equipment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If complex mechanisms are used for fixing magnetic elements within the panel body, then the magnetic elements can be securely fixed, but the assembly becomes inefficient and the manufacturing process becomes complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecure fixing of magnetic elementsVSAvoidcomplexity of fixing mechanisms
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the magnetic element fixing function directly into the panel body structure by creating recesses that receive the magnetic elements. This merging eliminates the need for separate complex fixing mechanisms while ensuring secure placement of magnetic elements within the panel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces recesses as intermediary structures within the panel body that facilitate the secure fixing of magnetic elements. These recesses act as mediators between the panel body and magnetic elements, providing a simple yet effective fixing solution without requiring complex mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional magnetic panels are used, then magnetic functionality is provided, but the range of materials and performance properties remain limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverange of materialsVSAvoidperformance properties
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs composite material construction for the panel body, combining multiple materials with different properties. This allows the panel to achieve both magnetic functionality and enhanced performance properties while providing versatility in material selection beyond traditional single-material magnetic panels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
