Waveform Frame Structures for Wind and Vibration Resistance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional frame structures for small indoor spaces, such as garages and agricultural greenhouses, are weak against external forces like wind pressure and have inferior vibration resistance, and the deflection of curtain materials due to bending tubes can lead to unsightly appearances over time.
Innovation Solution
A frame structure is formed by bundling tubes or bars bent into waveforms with constant amplitude around a linear axis, where the maximum amplitude portions are aligned and connected using binders to create a strong, aesthetically pleasing, and flexible framework that can absorb external forces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If rigid frame structure is used for side wall portions, then structural stability is improved, but wind pressure resistance and vibration resistance deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The frame structure is divided into multiple members arranged in a truss configuration, where individual members work together to distribute and resist external forces. This segmentation allows the structure to maintain stability while improving resistance to wind pressure and vibration through the collective action of distributed members.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention combines multiple frame members into a composite truss structure that integrates the strengths of individual components. By arranging members in a truss pattern and connecting them at joints, the structure achieves both stability and enhanced strength against external forces like wind pressure and vibration.
2Ease of operation
If distance between frame members and bending tubes increases, then ease of installation is improved, but curtain deflection and aesthetic appearance deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The invention optimizes the spacing parameters between frame members and bending tubes to achieve a balance between installation ease and aesthetic appearance. By carefully selecting and adjusting these dimensional parameters, the structure allows for straightforward installation while maintaining proper support for curtains to prevent excessive deflection and preserve appearance.

AI summary
A frame structure using a tube subjected to bending processing by a pushing bending apparatus is provided to solve the problem of a simple body constituting the small-sized interior space. The frame structure forms a plane of frames by bundling a plurality of tubes or bars, each of which is bent to form a waveform of a constant amplitude around a linear axis in a same plane, to contact maximum amplitude portions of the tubes or bars each other, each maximum amplitude portion being in the same position in the longitudinal direction.
