Prefabricated Panel Rod Integration for Building Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The complexity and precision required in planning and constructing prefabricated buildings with frame structures make it difficult to accommodate individual customer deviations and maintain accuracy during assembly, leading to increased effort and complexity in design and construction.
Innovation Solution
A modular building system using prefabricated panels made from one-piece tubular chipboard with a stiffening plate, which can be easily cut and connected to rod-shaped support elements, allowing for flexible planning and assembly, and can be used as both wall and ceiling elements with optional integration of insulating materials.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a skeleton construction with prefabricated components is used, then the building can be prefabricated in a factory and delivered to the construction site, but the planning and construction becomes very complex and requires high precision to ensure precise connection of components to the supporting structure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the supporting structure (rod-shaped load-bearing elements) with the wall and ceiling panels by integrating the rods directly into the panel structures. This combination eliminates the need for separate frame assembly and panel installation, reducing planning and construction complexity while maintaining prefabrication benefits
Solution Approach 2:
The rod-shaped load-bearing elements serve multiple functions: they provide structural support, enable flexible positioning of panels, and allow for individual customer deviations. The same rod elements are used throughout the building for both load-bearing and spatial organization purposes, simplifying the overall system
2Ease of manufacture
If a skeleton construction with prefabricated components is used, then the building can be assembled from factory-produced parts, but high precision must be maintained on the construction site to ensure precise connection of components
Solution Approach 1:
The building is segmented into modular panels (wall and ceiling elements) that are independently prefabricated in the factory with integrated rod structures. Each panel is a self-contained module that can be manufactured with standard tolerances, reducing the precision requirements during on-site assembly compared to traditional frame-and-panel systems
Solution Approach 2:
The rod-shaped load-bearing elements are pre-integrated into the panel structures during factory manufacturing. This preliminary integration ensures that the connection points and structural elements are precisely positioned before the panels are transported to the construction site, eliminating the need for high-precision field adjustments
3Reliability
If traditional prefabricated panels are used, then the building structure is established, but flexible planning and individual customization are difficult to achieve
Solution Approach 1:
The rod-shaped load-bearing elements can be positioned at varying locations and orientations within the panels, allowing the structural system to adapt to different design requirements. The panels themselves can be configured in various arrangements to accommodate individual customer deviations while maintaining structural reliability through the rod integration
