Honeycomb minor structure system has a variety of application in a variety of environment, especially but be not limited to, makes and building industry.It is through providing the unidirectional intensity that makes full use of the structure hive perpendicular to the structure support of structure hive, and need not lamination.In the mill, in order to produce the panel of single panel or associating, this system can be used as the part of the framework instrument that is used for the preformed honeycomb structure, and this honeycomb structure can force together to produce the honeycomb panel with sheet layer then.In addition or alternatively, in structure, furniture or construction material, this system can be used as the permanent minor structure of honeycomb structure, honeycomb structure then can with the sheet material lamination to improve intensity and rigidity.

Being susceptible to honeycomb can be formed by cardboard, but in some applications, possibly need bigger bearing strength, honeycomb can by timber (such as, but be not limited to birch) form.Preferably, the thickness of timber is in the scope of 0.4mm to 1.5 mm, and more preferably thickness is 0.8 mm.

In certain embodiments, honeycomb can be formed by material strips, and such as (but being not limited to) timber, plastics or metal, this material is flexibility and strong.Each comprised profiled edge in the material strips, the shape of adjacent strip and/or be of a size of and unevenly make that honeycomb has molded non-planar when expanding, this can provide the ergonomics benefit to the user.Can use the cut instrument to carry out such shaping.

The minor structure system has the many advantages that are superior to conventional honeycomb structure.For example, production rigidity honeycomb structure no longer is limited to the production environment of factory because the group structural system when being installed in the honeycomb structure laminating technology can carry out on the spot at present.

The present invention provides a kind of cheapness, simple and high-efficiency method to come preformed and make crooked honeycomb structure.The present invention has also improved the precision and the degree of accuracy of producing the honeycomb structure with nonlinear geometry shape; Because the shape of honeycomb structure depends on the shape of minor structure system fully, the minor structure system can finely tune to become required form before installing and/or before any laminating technology.And, can carry out the change of honeycomb structure shape on the spot now, because the minor structure system can be easy to unload.
