Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mesh-shape safety plates fail to prevent slipping in multiple directions, particularly forward and backward, posing a safety risk for workers on construction sites.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a mesh-shape safety plate with linear body extending in one direction is used, then the plate can prevent slipping in the left-right direction to a certain extent, but the plate cannot prevent slipping in the forward and backward direction
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a new dimension by adding a non-slip plate section with friction protrusions that extend in the longitudinal direction (perpendicular to the slit expansion direction). This creates a three-dimensional non-slip structure that provides friction resistance in multiple directions, not just the lateral direction provided by the mesh structure alone.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines two different structural elements: the EX mesh section with expanded slits and the non-slip plate section with friction protrusions. This composite structure integrates the lateral support function of the mesh with the multi-directional friction resistance of the non-slip plate, achieving comprehensive slip prevention.
2Ease of operation
If wooden panels are installed on rebar to enable worker movement, then workers can move safely, but the panels create a slipping hazard
Solution Approach 1:
The EX mesh section with expanded slits creates a porous structure that allows the plate to be lightweight yet structurally sound. The mesh holes provide flexibility and adaptability while maintaining overall strength, enabling the plate to serve as both a support structure and a non-slip surface.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the surface parameters by adding friction protrusions to the non-slip plate section. These protrusions increase the coefficient of friction between the worker's footwear and the plate surface, significantly improving slip resistance while maintaining worker mobility.
3Reliability
If the non-slip plate section is added to prevent multi-directional slipping, then safety is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the non-slip plate section with the EX mesh section into a single integrated safety plate. This unified structure reduces the number of separate components and assembly steps, simplifying manufacturing while achieving multi-directional slip prevention through the combined functionality of both sections.
