Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing modular fencing methods are complex, require special tools and devices, and involve time-consuming processes due to the use of large amounts of concrete and elaborate assembly methods.
Innovation Solution
A modular area delimiting system using vertical threaded metal rods anchored into the ground, a flat metal base secured to the rods, and posts and panels made of sandwich-type recyclable material, which can be assembled without special tools and reduces execution time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If traditional modular fencing uses prefabricated concrete modules with metal structures, then structural strength is improved, but assembly complexity and execution time increase due to shuttering-striking operations and special fasteners
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and eliminates the complex shuttering-striking operations and special fasteners from the traditional modular fencing system. By using a simplified base plate with pre-drilled holes and standard anchoring rods, the system removes unnecessary intermediate components and steps while maintaining structural integrity through direct concrete anchoring to the ground.
Solution Approach 2:
The fencing system is divided into modular components (base plates, posts, panels) that can be independently manufactured and assembled. Each base plate is a separate unit with integrated anchoring features, allowing for simplified assembly without requiring complex shuttering operations for each individual component.
2Stability of the object's composition
If traditional modular fencing uses large amounts of concrete for foundations, then stability is improved, but fabrication time increases due to long hardening time and additional finishing steps
Solution Approach 1:
The base plates are pre-prepared with embedded metal anchoring rods or chemical anchors during manufacturing. This preliminary action eliminates the need for on-site shuttering, concrete pouring, and finishing operations, as the anchoring elements are already in place ready for immediate installation and panel attachment.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses disposable or replaceable base plates with integrated anchoring features that eliminate the need for permanent, time-consuming concrete foundation work. The base plates can be quickly installed and removed if needed, replacing the traditional permanent concrete foundation approach.
3Manufacturing precision
If traditional modular fencing uses elaborate assembly methods with special tools, then assembly precision is improved, but cost increases due to specialized materials and tools
Solution Approach 1:
The base plates are designed with self-aligning features and pre-marked drill hole positions that guide the assembly process without requiring specialized tools or equipment. The integrated anchoring rods and mounting holes provide self-service alignment and positioning, eliminating the need for expensive specialized assembly tools while maintaining precision.
