Swimming Pool Panel Honeycomb Structure Rigidity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing swimming pool basin production methods, despite providing high rigidity, lack optimal rigidity and thickness, leading to potential bending or buckling under water pressure and weight issues.
Innovation Solution
The use of panels with a honeycomb internal structure, featuring a peripheral frame with uprights and crosspieces defining reception zones for independent honeycomb structures, combined with parallel plates for enhanced rigidity and weight reduction, allowing for a thinner and lighter design.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If panels with traditional internal structure are used, then high rigidity is achieved, but thickness and weight increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a composite structure combining a peripheral frame with multiple independent honeycomb-type structures positioned within receiving zones defined by uprights and crossbars. This composite arrangement achieves optimal rigidity while minimizing thickness and weight, as the honeycomb structures provide high strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional solid or single-structure panels.
2Strength
If panels with traditional internal structure are used, then high rigidity is achieved, but thickness increases
Solution Approach 1:
The internal structure is segmented into multiple independent honeycomb-type structures positioned within separate receiving zones defined by uprights and crossbars. This segmentation allows each honeycomb structure to contribute to overall rigidity independently, achieving optimal structural performance with reduced panel thickness compared to traditional monolithic internal structures.
3Strength
If parallel plates are added to the panel structure, then resistance to water and facing loads is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The parallel plates forming inner and outer faces are merged with the peripheral frame and honeycomb structures through fixed connections. This integration creates a unified structural system where the plates, frame, and honeycomb elements work together to resist water and facing loads, achieving enhanced load resistance without proportionally increasing complexity.

AI summary
The invention relates to a device (1) for producing a swimming pool comprising panels (2) that have an internal structure (4) of the cellular type and each comprise a peripheral frame (5) that forms upper (5a) and lower (5b) edges, and vertical edge faces (5c) that are joined in a leaktight manner by coupling profiles (3) so as to form a closed volume of any desired geometric shape corresponding to said pool. According to the invention, the peripheral frame (5) of each panel (2) comprises, on the inside, at least one upright (6) and at least one cross member (7) so as to define at least four receiving zones (8) inside the frame that each receive an independent structure (4) of the cellular type.
