Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wall structures in industrial and storage halls require laborious construction and customized wall elements, making them time-consuming and costly to assemble, as they need to fit specific frame structures.
Innovation Solution
A wall structure using standard-sized wall plates and horizontal fixing profiles that are attached to load-bearing frame beams, allowing for easy assembly and alignment, with a foamed plastic insulation core for stiffness and insulation, and a fixing profile system that spans the entire horizontal direction to secure the plates without needing precise fitting to the frame beams.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If wall elements are customized to fit specific frame structures, then the wall structure can be securely attached to the frame beams, but the construction becomes laborious and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The wall structure is divided into standardized wall elements with uniform dimensions that can be independently manufactured and then assembled on-site. This segmentation allows for pre-fabrication of components with precise fitting features, ensuring reliable attachment while maintaining construction speed through modular assembly.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the dimensional parameters of wall elements from customized sizes to standardized dimensions. By establishing fixed width and height parameters for wall elements, the system enables mass production and simplifies on-site assembly, resolving the contradiction between secure attachment and construction efficiency.
2Reliability
If wall elements are customized to fit frame structures, then proper attachment is achieved, but manufacturing and assembly costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The wall elements are designed with universal standardized dimensions that can be used across different wall positions and frame configurations. This universality allows a single wall element type to serve multiple functions and locations, simplifying manufacturing processes and reducing the need for custom fabrication while maintaining secure attachment capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The wall elements are pre-manufactured with standardized dimensions and integrated attachment features before delivery to the construction site. This preliminary action of pre-fabrication ensures proper fitting and secure attachment is achieved during manufacturing rather than on-site customization, thereby simplifying overall manufacturing processes and reducing assembly complexity.
3Strength
If lifting equipment is used to place wall elements, then heavy elements can be installed, but the requirement for specialized equipment increases complexity and cost
Solution Approach 1:
The wall structure is segmented into smaller, standardized wall elements that can be handled with simpler lifting equipment. By dividing the wall into modular units rather than using large custom elements, the system reduces the lifting capacity requirements and eliminates the need for specialized heavy-duty lifting equipment while maintaining overall wall strength through proper structural design.

AI summary
A wall structure and a method for manufacturing a wall structure, which wall structure comprises load bearing frame beams (1, 1`), fixing profiles (2, 2`) that are essentially horizontal with respect to the frame beams (1, 1`) and fixed to the frame beams (1, 1`), and wall plates (3, 3`, 4, 4`), said wall plates comprise a first planar surface layer, a second planar surface layer and a heat insulating core layer between the surface layers. The wall plates (3, 3`, 4, 4`) in the wall structure are arranged in the structure in such a manner that the fixing profile (2, 2`) is in the joint between two wall plates (3, 3`, 4, 4`) arranged against one another one on top of the other.
