Solution Overview

Problem

Existing decorative panels lack the necessary combination of high strength, flame retardancy, wear resistance, and sound absorption, making them inadequate for applications requiring these properties, especially in high-temperature and noise-sensitive environments.

Innovation Solution

A high strength fireproof board and wear-resistant decorative panel are developed using a thermosetting resin-based structure with layers of fiber, foam fiber, and a balance layer, incorporating graphene oxide and nano-aluminum oxide for enhanced strength and wear resistance, and a manufacturing process involving hot pressing and foaming to create a three-dimensional network for sound absorption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing decorative panels are used, then they provide basic decorative function, but they lack high strength, flame retardancy, wear resistance, and sound absorption properties

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefire retardancy and strengthVSAvoidmulti-functionality
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functional layers (fiber layer, foam fiber layer, wear-resistant layer, pattern layer, balance layer) into a single composite panel structure. This merging of different functional components resolves the contradiction by achieving both high reliability (fire retardancy, strength) and adaptability (wear resistance, sound absorption, decorative function) in one integrated product.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses composite materials throughout the structure, including thermosetting resin-impregnated fibers, foam fibers with air pockets, and layered combinations of different materials. These composite structures provide enhanced fire retardancy, strength, and multi-functionality simultaneously, resolving the technical contradiction between reliability and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Ease of manufacture

If melamine foam is used as raw material, then cost performance ratio improves, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecost performance ratioVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary impregnation of fibers and foam with thermosetting resin before final hot pressing. This preliminary action prepares the materials in advance with desired properties, making the subsequent manufacturing process more efficient despite the complex multi-layer structure, thus improving cost performance while managing processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes during hot pressing (temperature, pressure, time) to transform the impregnated fiber and foam layers into a solid composite structure. By controlling these parameters, the complex processing is optimized to achieve the desired product properties efficiently, balancing manufacturing ease with processing requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If thermosetting resin is used, then flame retardancy and wear resistance improve, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflame retardancy and wear resistanceVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the impregnation and hot pressing operations into an integrated manufacturing process. The thermosetting resin is applied to multiple layers simultaneously, and the hot pressing step consolidates all layers while curing the resin, achieving flame retardancy and wear resistance without proportionally increasing manufacturing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The use of thermosetting resin creates a composite material system where the resin matrix binds the fiber and foam layers together. This composite structure inherently provides flame retardancy and wear resistance while the integrated manufacturing process manages the complexity of working with thermosetting materials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
