Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing devices for wall assembly of coating panels that require vertical regulation are cumbersome and necessitate costly additional processing, and they only allow for vertical adjustment, failing to provide horizontal regulation and efficient assembly without additional panel processing.
Innovation Solution
A regulation device comprising a metal base with a sliding mechanism, vertical and horizontal screws, and a conical cam system that allows for both vertical and horizontal adjustments without requiring additional panel processing, and fits within a narrow interspace between the panel and the wall.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional panel brackets are used for wall assembly, then vertical regulation is achieved, but the device becomes cumbersome and requires costly additional processing operations on the panel
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the vertical regulation function and horizontal positioning function into a single integrated bracket device. The bracket includes a vertical regulation mechanism with threaded rods and nuts, while also incorporating horizontal adjustment capability through a sliding mechanism with grooves, eliminating the need for separate devices and reducing overall complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket device performs multiple functions simultaneously: it provides vertical regulation through threaded mechanisms, horizontal positioning through sliding grooves, and secure wall mounting through adjustment screws. This multi-functional design replaces what would traditionally require multiple separate components, reducing device encumbrance while maintaining full regulatory capability
2Ease of operation
If traditional panel brackets are used for wall assembly, then vertical regulation is achieved, but additional processing operations on the panel are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the regulation functionality from the panel itself and relocates it to the bracket device. The bracket contains all necessary threaded rods, nuts, and sliding mechanisms, allowing vertical and horizontal regulation to be performed by the bracket rather than requiring modifications to the panel, thereby eliminating costly additional panel processing operations
3Productivity
If a narrow interspace is created between panel and wall, then assembly efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases to achieve both vertical and horizontal regulation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a nested structure where the horizontal sliding mechanism is integrated within the vertical regulation assembly. The sliding block with horizontal grooves is positioned inside the vertical bracket structure, allowing both regulation dimensions to function within a compact, space-efficient configuration that maintains a narrow interspace between panel and wall
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables simple and efficient vertical and horizontal regulation of coating panels directly attached to the panel surface without additional processing, maintaining a narrow interspace and reducing encumbrance and costs.
Implementation Method 1
The free end of the screw 14 opposite the head 16, is conical, as in 29, and extends outside (beyond) the slide 12, in correspondence with a central window 30 of the hooking section 21. The conical end 29 of the screw 14 cooperates (as a cam) with an upper edge 31 of the plate 22
Implementation Method 2
The screw 13 is screwed into corresponding threaded seats 25, 26 of the base 11, abutted with its free end against the upper wall 27 of the slide 12

AI summary
A device (10) for the wall assembly (23) of a coating panel (P), which forms, with said wall (23), an interspace (32), comprises a mechanism for regulating the height (vertical) of the panel (P) supported by a base (11) fixed on the surface of the panel (P), said mechanism consisting of a slide (12) and a command screw (13) of the translation of said slide (12) which also has a section (21) for hooking the device (10) to a plate (22) fixed to said wall (23). Said base (11) and said mechanism for regulating the height are entirely contained in said interspace (32). Characteristically, a second screw (14) for the horizontal regulation (depth) of the panel (P), which is also entirely contained in said interspace (32), cooperates with said slide (12), the free end of said second screw (14) having a cam profile (29) acting on an edge (31) of said plate (22), so as to vary the thickness of said interspace (32).
