Solution Overview

Problem

Existing modular shed designs lack efficient and rapid assembly methods, particularly in incorporating integrated lighting and utility provisions like power and water, which complicates the construction process and limits their functionality.

Innovation Solution

A modular shed design utilizing fiber-reinforced decking panels with integrated LED lights and steel guides or I-beams, along with a process for assembling the shed that includes spacing frames, coupling beams, connecting panels, and providing electrical conduits for lighting, allowing for easy assembly and integration of utilities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If modular shed designs incorporate integrated lighting and utility provisions, then functionality is improved, but assembly complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidassembly complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The shed is divided into modular panels that can be independently manufactured with integrated lighting and utility provisions already embedded. Each panel is a self-contained module that simplifies assembly while maintaining enhanced functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Lighting fixtures, electrical conduits, and utility provisions are pre-installed and integrated into the panels during manufacturing before delivery to the site. This preliminary action eliminates the need for complex on-site installation of these components.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Strength

If modular shed designs use traditional assembly methods, then structural integrity is maintained, but construction speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidconstruction speed

Core Design Contradiction:

StrengthVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The assembly system uses adjustable and adaptable connection mechanisms that can be quickly configured during assembly. The panels incorporate flexible mounting options and reconfigurable support structures that enable rapid assembly while maintaining structural integrity through engineered connection points.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Illumination intensity

If modular shed designs integrate LED lights and electrical conduits, then illumination functionality is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveillumination functionalityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Illumination intensityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The lighting system is merged with the panel structure itself. LED lights are integrated into the panel design, and electrical conduits are embedded within the panel framework, creating a unified component that simplifies both manufacturing and installation while providing comprehensive illumination functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

There is a shed and/or scaffolding which is configured to be made from any suitable material such as steel, fiber reinforced decking panels or a parapet. These panels can be made with integrated lights such as LED lights and then held together via steel guides or I-beams. There is also a method for constructing the scaffolding or shed design as well.
