Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional sheds have complex structures, making assembly labor-intensive and difficult to ensure sealing tightness between wallboards, especially at corners, and disassembly is cumbersome, particularly for users with low strength.

Innovation Solution

A floor and wallboard connecting structure for sheds featuring first and second support plates with positioning protrusions and grooves, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly by rotating the wallboard into place using positioning grooves, and clamping connectors for secure connections.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If the entire wallboard is raised to embed the bottom into the enclosing frame during assembly, then the structural reliability is improved, but the assembly becomes labor-intensive and difficult for users with low strength

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural reliabilityVSAvoidassembly ease
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The wallboard is divided into a main body portion and a bottom portion. The bottom portion is separated from the main body and can be independently installed into the enclosing frame through the insertion grooves, while the main body remains at a convenient height for users. This segmentation allows the bottom to be embedded for structural reliability without requiring the entire wallboard to be raised, thus maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Strength

If the entire wallboard is raised to remove it from the enclosing frame during disassembly, then the structural reliability is maintained, but the disassembly becomes cumbersome and difficult for users with low strength

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural reliabilityVSAvoiddisassembly ease
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The bottom portion is separated from the main body of the wallboard, allowing it to be independently removed from the enclosing frame through the insertion grooves. Users can disassemble the bottom portion without needing to raise or support the entire wallboard, making disassembly easy and accessible to users with low strength while maintaining structural reliability when assembled.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Strength

If traditional connecting structures are used, then the structural reliability is ensured, but the sealing tightness between wallboards at corners is difficult to ensure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural reliabilityVSAvoidsealing tightness
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The connecting structure at the corners is specially designed with right-angled connectors and stepped structures that provide both mechanical strength and sealing functionality. The local quality of the corner connection is enhanced with multi-layer stepped structures and sealing members to ensure sealing tightness, while the overall structural reliability is maintained through the rigid connecting mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
