Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional artificial climbing wall structures formed by rectangular modules struggle to create steep inclines and securely attach artificial holds, requiring numerous modules and leading to loose holds over time due to inappropriate surface shapes.
Innovation Solution
Triangular artificial climbing wall panels with adjustable brackets that allow for varied angles and secure attachment of holds, eliminating the need for multiple modules and ensuring stable hold fixation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If rectangular modules are used to form artificial climbing wall structures, then the structure can be easily assembled, but it is difficult to create steep inclines and secure hold attachment
Solution Approach 1:
The climbing wall is divided into triangular panels that can be independently assembled. Each triangular panel is a separate module that can be connected to form larger structures, allowing both easy assembly and the creation of steep inclines through geometric arrangement.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses triangular panels instead of conventional rectangular modules. The asymmetric triangular shape allows for varied angles and steep inclines that cannot be achieved with symmetric rectangular blocks, while still maintaining modular assembly capabilities.
2Shape
If numerous rectangular modules are used to achieve steep inclines, then the structure can reach desired angles, but the number of modules increases and assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Triangular panels inherently provide varied angles and steep inclines in fewer units compared to rectangular modules. The geometric properties of triangles allow for direct creation of inclined surfaces without requiring multiple flat blocks stacked together.
Solution Approach 2:
The triangular panels are disposed in XYZ space with specific Z-component relationships, allowing three-dimensional arrangement that achieves steep inclines more efficiently than two-dimensional rectangular stacking.
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional rectangular modules are used, then assembly is straightforward, but vertical plane issues arise and aesthetics are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The triangular shape eliminates the vertical plane issues inherent in rectangular modules. The angled surfaces of triangles create more varied and aesthetically pleasing facades while maintaining modular assembly through standardized connection points.
4Ease of manufacture
If holds are attached to inappropriate surface shapes, then initial installation is simple, but holds become loose over time
Solution Approach 1:
The triangular panels provide locally optimized surface shapes at the hold attachment points. The geometry of the triangular surfaces creates better mechanical interlocking and load distribution for hold attachments, preventing loosening over time while maintaining installation simplicity.

AI summary
Disclosed is a triangular artificial climbing wall panel according to the embodiment. The longest side of one triangular artificial climbing wall panel is in contact with the longest side of another triangular artificial climbing wall panel adjacent to the one triangular artificial climbing wall panel, and the two artificial climbing wall panels are disposed in the XYZ space. Four sides except the two longest sides out of six sides of the two triangular artificial climbing wall panels form a rectangle as viewed perpendicular to an XY plane.
