Modular Formwork Device with Integrated Receiving Elements
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing devices for securing and formwork on buildings require lengthy positioning and removal of holding parts for parapets and scaffolding brackets, increasing construction effort and costs.
Innovation Solution
A modular device with prefabricated, firmly connected insulating or formwork elements and receiving elements, allowing for reduced assembly and positioning effort by integrating formwork elements directly with receiving elements, which can be processed as one piece, either by screwing, riveting, welding, or gluing, and featuring anchor elements for stable concrete fixation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If holding parts for parapets and scaffolding brackets are positioned and removed separately from formwork elements, then flexibility in securing structures is improved, but construction time and effort increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines formwork elements and holding parts into a single integrated module. The holding parts are permanently attached to the formwork elements through connection elements, eliminating the need for separate positioning and removal operations. This merging reduces construction time while maintaining the adaptability of the securing structure, as the integrated module can still be installed and removed as a complete unit.
2Adaptability or versatility
If holding parts are detached and repositioned during construction, then adaptability to different positions is improved, but the number of operations and construction costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the construction system into modular units where each formwork element is paired with its own integrated holding part. This segmentation allows multiple standardized modules to be used throughout the building, each capable of being positioned independently. The modular approach maintains adaptability to different positions while reducing the complexity of operations, as each module is self-contained and requires the same simple installation procedure.
3Ease of operation
If insulating elements and formwork elements are assembled separately on-site, then flexibility in assembly is improved, but assembly time and precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-assembling the holding parts onto the formwork elements before the concreting process. The holding parts are attached to the formwork elements in the factory or pre-preparation area, so that when the formwork is installed on-site, the holding parts are already in their final positions. This eliminates the need for separate on-site assembly operations and reduces the time required during construction, while maintaining flexibility through the modular design.
