Solution Overview

Problem

Existing assembled house systems are cumbersome due to large sizes, poor windbreaking performance, and inability to be repeatedly assembled or disassembled, with inflexible components and high manufacturing and purchasing costs, making them inconvenient for installation, transportation, and customization.

Innovation Solution

A modular assembly system for container houses featuring wallboards with spherical protrusions and recesses that interlock perpendicularly, allowing for components of varying lengths, heights, and colors, enabling flexible assembly and disassembly, and facilitating standardized mass production and transportation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If large-size members and a large quantity of rivets are used to assemble houses, then the structural strength and stability are improved, but the ease of repeated assembly and disassembly deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidease of repeated assembly and disassembly
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The house structure is divided into modular wallboards with standardized spherical connection features. Each wallboard is an independent module that can be easily connected and disconnected, replacing the traditional approach of using large-size members and numerous rivets. This segmentation enables repeated assembly and disassembly while maintaining structural integrity through the spherical protrusion-cavity connection mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connection mechanism transitions from rigid rivet connections to a spherical protrusion-cavity system that allows for parameter changes in assembly configuration. The spherical connection features enable walls to be connected in different orientations and configurations, facilitating both strong structural bonds and easy reconfiguration for repeated assembly cycles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Stability of the object's composition

If excessively large sizes are used for assembled houses, then the structural stability is improved, but the ease of transportation and installation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidease of transportation and installation
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The house is segmented into standardized wallboard modules that can be transported independently and assembled on-site. Each module maintains structural stability through its own rigid framework while the modular design enables easy transportation and installation by breaking down the overall structure into manageable units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The standardized wallboards serve multiple functions: they provide structural stability when assembled, enable easy transportation due to their modular size, and facilitate flexible installation configurations. The universal spherical connection features allow the same modules to be used in various house designs and configurations.

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

3Reliability

If a large amount of hardware is used to fix assembled houses, then the connection reliability is improved, but the device complexity and manufacturing costs deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The spherical protrusion and cavity connection features are integrated directly into the wallboard structures themselves, merging the connection mechanism with the structural components. This eliminates the need for separate hardware elements like rivets, bolts, or screws, simplifying the overall system while maintaining reliable connections through the interlocking spherical features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

Traditional hardware elements (rivets, bolts, screws) are extracted and removed from the assembly system. The connection function is achieved purely through the spherical protrusion-cavity mechanism built into the wallboards, reducing device complexity and manufacturing costs while maintaining connection reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Strength

If traditional assembled house systems are used, then the structural integrity is maintained, but the adaptability for different sizes, shapes, and configurations deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural integrityVSAvoidadaptability for different configurations
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The house structure is segmented into standardized wallboard modules with universal spherical connection features. This segmentation allows the same basic modules to be configured into different house sizes, shapes, and layouts while maintaining structural integrity through consistent connection mechanisms. The modular approach enables flexible adaptation to various design requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The assembly system is made dynamic and adaptable through the spherical connection features that allow walls to be connected in different orientations and configurations. The same standardized modules can be dynamically reconfigured to create various house designs, sizes, and layouts, providing versatility while maintaining structural integrity through reliable spherical connections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

The present invention relates to an assembly for an assembled container house system. The assembly includes: a first main wallboard, where the first main wallboard has a rectangular body; an upper right portion of the body of the first main wallboard protrudes rightwards to form a spherical protrusion, and a lower right portion extends rightwards to form an extension portion; an upper left portion of the body of the first main wallboard extends leftwards to form an extension portion, and a lower let portion protrudes leftwards to form a spherical protrusion; spherical recessed cavities are formed on front end surfaces of the two extension portions by means of being recessed backwards; the spherical protrusions match the spherical recessed cavities; and an axial direction of the spherical protrusion is perpendicular to an axial direction of the spherical recessed cavity. The assembly for an assembled container house system may be assembled into members with different lengths, different heights, different widths, and different colors, such as a house, a large shed, a cabinet, and a box, as well as toys. Moreover, independently used bathrooms, living rooms, and washbasin systems may be derived. Various components are reliably connected, may be repeatedly used, are suitable for industrial standardized and mass production, and facilitate transportation and splicing.
