Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems fail to provide a non-support wall configuration that allows for the natural attachment and easy replacement of various structures or articles on a wall, lacking aesthetic appeal and functional versatility.

Innovation Solution

A system wall comprising a wall part, bracket, and a hole-machined metal panel with protrusions and supports that allow for easy attachment and detachment of decoration parts like shelves and hooks, using a combination of bottom and straight or hooked supports secured by screws.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a bracket system with fixing panels and insertion panels is used to support shelves, then the weight-bearing capability is improved, but the aesthetic appearance deteriorates due to visible brackets and support structures

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveweight-bearing capabilityVSAvoidaesthetic appearance
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The invention extracts the support function from visible brackets and transfers it to invisible anchor points embedded in the wall. The metal panel is directly anchored to the wall at multiple points, eliminating the need for visible brackets while maintaining weight-bearing capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces anchor points as intermediaries between the wall and the metal panel. These anchors are embedded in the wall and provide hidden support, acting as mediators that transfer load without being visible on the surface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If traditional bracket systems are used for wall mounting, then structural stability is improved, but the ease of replacement and reconfiguration deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidease of replacement
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of repair

Solution Approach 1:

The invention segments the support system into independent components: wall-embedded anchor points and the metal panel with pre-drilled holes. This segmentation allows the panel to be easily removed and replaced while the anchors remain in the wall, maintaining structural stability while improving ease of replacement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention performs preliminary action by pre-drilling holes in the metal panel during manufacturing. This eliminates the need for on-site drilling and preparation, allowing for quick installation and replacement by simply inserting screws into the pre-drilled holes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Strength

If fixed support structures are installed on walls, then load-bearing capacity is improved, but the adaptability for different configurations deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveload-bearing capacityVSAvoidconfigurability
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The invention creates a universal support system where the wall-embedded anchors can support multiple different metal panels and decoration parts. The standardized anchor points with pre-drilled holes allow the same wall structure to accommodate various configurations including shelves, hooks, and other decoration elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces dynamic reconfigurability by allowing the metal panel to be easily attached and detached from the fixed anchor points. The system transitions from a fixed configuration to a dynamic one where panels can be moved, replaced, or reconfigured based on changing needs while maintaining load-bearing capacity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
