Solution Overview
Problem
Existing building services centers lack adaptability to different installation situations and technical requirements, particularly in accommodating varying house installations, with existing modules not being customizable enough.
Innovation Solution
A building services center comprising prefabricated heating and sanitary modules with telescopic corner profiles and adjustable cladding elements, equipped with a rainwater manager and ventilation device, allowing for customizable installation and integration of heat sources, water management, and smart control systems, enabling efficient heating, ventilation, and plumbing solutions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If building services modules are embedded in walls or attached to walls with fixed dimensions, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the adaptability to different installation situations and floor heights is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The corner profiles are designed as telescopic structures that can be adjusted in length to accommodate different floor heights and installation situations. The fastening elements are positioned at adjustable locations along the corner profiles, enabling dynamic adaptation to various building conditions while maintaining a relatively simple overall module structure.
2Productivity
If building services modules are custom-built for each installation, then the adaptability is high, but the manufacturing cost and installation time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The building services center is divided into modular components (heating module, sanitary module, ventilation device, rainwater manager) that can be pre-assembled at the factory and then quickly installed on-site. The telescopic corner profiles and adjustable fastening elements provide customization capability without requiring complete custom-building, thus improving installation efficiency while maintaining adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The modules are pre-assembled at the factory with all necessary connections and components installed before delivery to the construction site. This preliminary preparation significantly reduces on-site installation time and improves productivity, while the adjustable corner profiles ensure the pre-assembled modules can still adapt to different installation situations.
3Ease of manufacture
If fixed-dimension modules are used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the ability to accommodate varying house installations is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The corner profiles incorporate telescopic mechanisms that allow the length parameter to be changed according to different floor heights and installation requirements. The fastening elements can be positioned at different locations along the adjustable profiles, enabling the same module design to be manufactured once and then adapted to various technical requirements through parameter adjustment rather than complete redesign.
