Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If traditional mortise and tenon structures are used for wooden enclosing wallboards, then the connection strength is improved, but the construction time and labor consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The enclosing wallboard system is divided into modular components (wallboards, connecting pieces, end caps, fences, protection strips) that can be independently manufactured and assembled. This segmentation enables factory production of standardized modules, dramatically reducing on-site construction time while maintaining connection strength through specialized connecting mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
Metal connecting pieces serve as intermediary components between wooden wallboards, providing standardized connection interfaces. These connecting pieces with precisely positioned holes and attachment mechanisms enable quick assembly while ensuring strong connections, eliminating the need for time-consuming traditional mortise and tenon work.
2Adaptability or versatility
If existing plastic-wood enclosing wallboards are mounted on site, then installation flexibility is maintained, but the firmness and stability of the enclosing wallboards deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the enclosing wall into standardized modular wallboards that can be flexibly arranged and adapted to different installation scenarios. Each module includes integrated connection features that ensure firm assembly, combining installation flexibility with structural reliability through standardized interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting pieces and end caps serve multiple functions: they provide structural connection, enable disassembly for secondary use, ensure firmness through metal reinforcement, and allow flexible configuration. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction between installation flexibility and firmness.
3Device complexity
If traditional enclosing wallboard construction methods are used, then design simplicity is maintained, but resource waste and environmental impact increase during secondary use
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing the enclosing wall system into discrete, standardized modules (wallboards, connecting pieces, end caps, fences, protection strips), the design enables complete disassembly and reuse of components. This modular approach maintains design simplicity while eliminating resource waste, as each module can be independently reused in secondary applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The system is designed for complete recovery and reuse of all components. The standardized connecting pieces with attachment mechanisms allow for easy disassembly without damage, enabling full recovery of wallboards, metal connectors, end caps, fences, and protection strips for secondary use, thereby eliminating resource waste.
4Reliability
If complex mounting and fixing methods are used, then the firmness of enclosing wallboards is improved, but the ease of operation and installation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the mounting process into simple, standardized steps: positioning wallboards, inserting connecting pieces, attaching end caps, and securing fences and protection strips. Each step uses pre-designed connection interfaces that require minimal skill, achieving firm installation while maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
Metal connecting pieces act as intermediaries that simplify the connection process. These pre-fabricated components with precisely positioned holes and attachment mechanisms enable firm connections through simple insertion and fastening operations, eliminating complex mounting procedures while ensuring structural reliability.
