  • Publication number: 20250198150
    Abstract: A thin-wall structure with a toothed surface is provided, wherein the thin-wall structure with the toothed surface is a single-layer thin-wall structure with the toothed surface that can be unfolded and folded, or a multi-layer thin-wall structure with the toothed surface that can be unfolded and folded, the thin-wall structure with the toothed surface has a toothed surface for transmitting interlayer shear forces or meshing transmission. The unfolding and folding mechanism of a thin-wall structure with a toothed surface comprises a roller component, a compression wheel component, and an elastic adjustment mechanism integrated together by a frame, the elastic adjustment mechanism is used to maintain an elastic compression force of the roller component and the compression wheel component. The present disclosure can effectively solve the problems of out-of-plane instability deformation and easy creep deformation during folding, and easy jamming during unfolding of existing thin-wall rollable structures.

  • Patent number: 12292264
    Abstract: A frustum embedded fabricated composite protective structure is provided, including a restraint frame, a back plate, an infill block and a buffer block. The restraint frame is provided with a plurality of mounting holes matching with the shape of the infill block, the restraint frame is arranged on the back plate, the infill block is in a frustum shape. The buffer block and the infill block are installed in the mounting hole of the restraint frame, the buffer block is arranged on the smaller end of the infill block, and the infill block is wedged into the mounting hole of the restraint frame through a wedge surface mating. Because this protective structure is assembled by multiple restraint frames and infill blocks, under the prestress restraint of partition blocks, the damage range after penetration or explosion will be significantly reduced, and it can withstand multiple blows.

  • Patent number: 12103812
    Abstract: A flexible layer support structure and a retractable device is disclosed. The flexible layer support structure includes a first thin sheet and a second thin sheet arranged in parallel with each other, as well as and a folding spring group sandwiched between the first thin sheet and the second thin sheet and arranged in parallel. The curved elastic pieces in the folding spring group are smoothly overlapped and connected with the thin sheets, so as to enclose a hollow thin-walled elastic structure that can be overlapped and rolled up, can be automatically straightened and has a flat surface. The retractable device includes a winding shaft, a pressure roller, and a flexible layer support structure installed on the winding shaft. The flexible layer support structure of the present disclosure has the advantages in lightweight, high storage ratio, large unfolded area, simple winding, large load bearing capacity, and less damage.
