Modular Frame Junction Connectors for Secure Light Steel Hoisting

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-assembling the light steel framing into complete volumetric module frames in a factory setting before shipping to site. This allows the framing to gain initial strength and stability through pre-installed connections, enabling it to withstand hoisting loads without requiring the framing members themselves to be extremely strong. The preliminary assembly creates a rigid box structure that distributes hoisting forces across multiple points rather than concentrating them on individual weak members.

The patent uses intermediary elements such as reinforcing plates, connection brackets, and distributed lifting attachment points that mediate between the light steel framing members and the hoisting forces. These intermediaries transfer and distribute the large point loads from hoisting equipment across multiple framing members, preventing any single light member from bearing excessive stress that would cause failure.

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the connection geometry and distribution rather than changing the fundamental material strength. Light steel framing uses multiple smaller connection points distributed across the module frame rather than fewer large connections. This changes the load distribution parameters, allowing light members to collectively bear loads that would be too heavy for individual members to handle alone.

The patent creates a composite structural system by combining light steel framing members with reinforcing elements, connection hardware, and bracing systems. While the primary framing members are lightweight, the composite system as a whole achieves the necessary strength through the synergistic combination of multiple components working together to resist hoisting and assembly loads.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the module frame into pre-fabricated segments with standardized connection interfaces. Each volumetric module is segmented into manageable components that can be independently assembled using repetitive, simplified connection procedures. This segmentation allows workers to focus on repeating simple connection tasks rather than performing complex custom assemblies, improving both reliability through consistency and productivity through reduced complexity.

The patent changes the connection parameters from complex multi-step procedures to simplified single-step or two-step connection processes. By standardizing connection geometries, pre-drilling fastener holes, and using standardized hardware, the connection reliability is maintained while the assembly time and labor requirements are significantly reduced. The connection parameters are optimized for speed without sacrificing structural integrity.
