Modular Lattice Wall Assembly with Locking Posts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing security cage lattice wall assembly systems lack ease of assembly, adaptability, and high security standards, often requiring on-site cutting and machining, which can be disruptive and inconvenient, especially in sensitive environments like server centers.
Innovation Solution
A modular system comprising elongate hollow intermediate posts, first bars, and locking posts with specific through openings and securing mechanisms that allow for easy assembly and adjustment without on-site cutting, using high-strength materials and circular second bars for enhanced security, and adjustable fastening brackets for secure mounting to building structures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional security cage lattice walls are constructed using conventional assembly methods, then high security standards can be achieved, but the assembly process requires on-site cutting and machining which is time-consuming and disruptive
Solution Approach 1:
The lattice wall is divided into modular components (intermediate posts with pre-drilled openings, locking posts, bars) that can be assembled without on-site cutting or machining, thereby reducing assembly time while maintaining security standards through proper modular design and connection mechanisms
Solution Approach 2:
The intermediate posts are pre-drilled with transverse primary through openings and secondary through openings during manufacturing, eliminating the need for on-site drilling or cutting operations. The locking posts are pre-configured with securing means, allowing for rapid assembly while maintaining high security standards
2Strength
If traditional lattice wall designs are used, then structural strength can be maintained, but adaptability to different dimensions and configurations is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The modular design allows the lattice wall dimensions and configuration to be dynamically adjusted by selecting different numbers and arrangements of intermediate posts, locking posts, and bars, while maintaining structural strength through standardized connection mechanisms and high-strength materials
Solution Approach 2:
The intermediate posts serve multiple functions: providing structural support, offering pre-drilled openings for bar insertion, and enabling dimensional adjustment. The locking posts provide both structural reinforcement and security locking functions, making the system universally adaptable to various configurations
3Reliability
If heavy-duty materials are used to ensure high security, then resistance to breakage and unauthorized access is improved, but the components become difficult to transport and assemble
Solution Approach 1:
The security cage is divided into separate modular components (intermediate posts, locking posts, bars) that can be transported independently. This segmentation allows heavy-duty materials to be used for each component while maintaining ease of assembly through standardized connection interfaces that require no on-site machining
Solution Approach 2:
The locking posts act as intermediary elements that connect and secure the intermediate posts and bars. The securing means on the locking posts provide a simple mechanical locking mechanism that facilitates easy assembly and disassembly while maintaining high security resistance against unauthorized access

AI summary
A modular system for assembling at least one lattice wall for a security cage. The system comprises; a plurality of elongate hollow intermediate posts (10,20a,20b) arranged in parallel in a first direction, each post exhibiting a number of transverse primary through openings (11,21). A plurality of elongate first bars (30) extend in a second direction, by insertion through said through openings (11,21). At least two locking posts (40a,40b) are arranged to be secured to a first (20a) and a last (20b) intermediate post in said row of intermediate posts. The system further comprises securing means (24,25,44) for securing the locking posts (40a,40b) to respective end sides of said first (20a) and last (20b) intermediate posts, which end sides faces away from each other, thereby to lock the first bars (30) from being removed by displacement in the second direction.
