Universal Profile Member for Wall Structure Assembly
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for producing wall structures, such as caissons and boxes in wet rooms, require cumbersome metal frameworks, which complicate the work of craftsmen and lack efficient assembly solutions.
Innovation Solution
A U-section profile with a split branch formed by a central wall and one side wall, allowing for interlocking with similar profiles to create a closed structure with improved inertia, facilitated by specific dimensional relationships and orthogonal assembly features like hooks and slots, enabling easy assembly and attachment of facing plates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If traditional U-shaped metal sections are used for framework, then structural support is provided, but the assembly process becomes cumbersome and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The profile is divided into modular sections that can be assembled independently. Each section contains integrated attachment features (hooks, slots) that enable straightforward connection without complex fastening operations, thereby simplifying the overall assembly process while maintaining structural integrity
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the framework function with the attachment function into a single integrated profile structure. The U-shaped profile incorporates hooks and slots directly into its geometry, eliminating the need for separate attachment components and reducing overall system complexity
2Stability of the object's composition
If profiles are assembled head to tail to form closed structures, then structural stability and inertia are improved, but assembly complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The closed structure is achieved through segmentation into standardized profile sections that connect head-to-tail. Each section maintains identical attachment features, allowing repetitive assembly operations that simplify the process while building cumulative structural stability through the closed-loop configuration
Solution Approach 2:
The profile design incorporates universal attachment features (hooks and slots) that function identically at both ends of each section. This universality allows any section to connect to any other section in the same orientation, simplifying assembly planning and execution while achieving the desired closed structural configuration

AI summary
The invention relates to a profile member for producing a wall structure, having a bottom (2) from one side of which two substantially parallel side walls (6, 8) extend. Said profile member further comprises a third wall, referred to as a central wall (4), which is parallel to the two side walls (6, 8), and which is arranged therebetween so as to be substantially closer to one side wall, referred to as a first side wall (6), than to the other side wall, referred to as the second side wall (8).
