Reservoir Mounting Assembly With Integrated Connection Profile
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing reservoir construction systems face issues with rapid wear, high maintenance costs, and aesthetic mismatch with the environment, particularly with wood, and inadequate attachment of pillars and waterproof coatings in metal and concrete systems.
Innovation Solution
A mounting assembly featuring a single-piece connection profile with a U-shaped recessed section for mechanical connection, arched pillars, tongue and groove fitting beams, and a process for precise assembly that includes leveling, pillar placement, and attachment of a waterproof pouch, border segments, and skimmer panels, optimizing stability and aesthetics.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If wood is used for reservoir construction, then aesthetic integration with environment is improved, but durability and maintenance costs deteriorate due to rapid wear
Solution Approach 1:
The invention uses a composite structure combining metal pillars (for durability and stability) with a flexible impermeable coating (for aesthetics and water containment). This composite approach allows each material to contribute its strengths: metal provides structural reliability while the coating provides aesthetic flexibility and environmental integration.
2Reliability
If metal and concrete are used for reservoir construction, then durability and maintenance are improved, but aesthetic integration with environment deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines metal pillars with a flexible impermeable coating to create a composite structure that achieves both durability and aesthetic integration. The metal provides structural strength while the coating can be shaped and colored to blend with the environment.
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible impermeable coating acts as a thin film that conforms to the metal pillar structure, providing both aesthetic customization to match environmental surroundings and functional water containment, while the underlying metal structure ensures durability.
3Ease of manufacture
If traditional separate attachment methods are used for pillars and waterproof coating, then manufacturing simplicity is improved, but assembly complexity and time deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the attachment function into the connection profile itself, which simultaneously secures both the pillar and the waterproof coating. This integrated approach eliminates the need for separate attachment operations, reducing assembly complexity while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection profile serves multiple functions: it attaches the pillar to the structure, secures the waterproof coating, and provides structural support. This multi-functionality reduces the number of components needed and simplifies the overall assembly process.
4Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate components are used for attachment, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity and assembly time deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The connection profile is designed as a universal component that handles multiple attachment tasks simultaneously - securing pillars, attaching waterproof coatings, and providing structural support. This reduces the total number of components needed while maintaining the adaptability required for different reservoir configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple attachment functions into a single integrated connection profile, eliminating the need for separate attachment components. This merging reduces device complexity and assembly time while the profile's design maintains versatility for different attachment scenarios.

AI summary
Assembly for mounting a reservoir in particular a swimming pool to the ground surface, or for wholly or partially burying thereof, consisting of beams (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) stacked together, having an adaptively laying model (25) with markings of exact location for the attachment of pillars (1, 2), preferably of tubular section, with tabs at the top and bottom (22, 23), a profile (21) able to simultaneously receive the anchoring profile (19, 20) for the waterproof and malleable pouch, a border (14, 15, 16, 17), end beam (9), mirrors (37) and a metal sheet (36). This technology reduces the risk of inaccurate placement of the pillars during the mounting of the assembly, thus optimizing the levelling and vertical setting thereof, with a connection profile of the different elements of the assembly.
