Specific dimensions and other physical characteristics relating to the embodiments disclosed herein are therefore not to be considered as limiting, unless the claims expressly state otherwise.

(17) Please refer to FIGS. 1 & 2, they show the schematic view and exploded view of the first embodiment of the foldable and framed wall assembly 1000, which shows only a basic structure of the assembly 1000 (that is, structure for the upper beam 1210, middle beam 1240, lower beam 1250, which may be repeated for multiple middle beams 1240). In this first embodiment, both its front and back sides need to be attached to the wall skin 1100, and its interior is wall frame 1200. In other embodiments, the foldable and framed wall assembly 1000 may only have one wall skin 1100.

(18) Please refer to FIGS. 3 & 4, FIG. 3 shows the structure of the wall frame 1200 in the first embodiment. It consists of an upper beam 1210, multiple pairs of first short rods 1220, second short rods 1221, third short rods 1222, fourth short rods 1223, a middle beam 1240, and a lower beam 1250. In this embodiment, the first short rods 1220, the second short rods 1221, the third short rods 1222, and the fourth short rods 1223 are rounded rods with holes at both ends, and the upper part is connected to the lower part of the upper beam 1210 or the middle beam 1240; the lower part of those short rods is connected to the upper part of the middle beam 1240 or the lower beam 1250 by the bearing bolts 1230. In particular, the top ends of the first short rods 1220 are inserted into the first upper grooves 12111 and slide on the first upper sliding hole 12113 through a first sliding rod 12201, and bottom ends of the pair of first short rods 1220 are connected with the first middle grooves 12411 through a first pivot 12202, so that the bottom ends can rotate when the top ends slide. The top ends of the second short rods 1221 are inserted into the second upper grooves 12112, and slide on the second upper sliding hole 12114 through a second sliding rod 12211, and bottom ends of the pair of second short rods 1221 are connected with the second middle grooves 12412 through a second pivot 12212, so that the bottom ends can rotate when the top ends slide. The top ends of the third short rods 1222 are inserted into the third middle grooves 12421, and slide on the first middle sliding hole 12423 through a third sliding rod 12221, and bottom ends of the pairs of third short rods 1222 are connected with the first lower grooves 12511 through a third pivot 12222, so that the bottom ends can rotate when the top ends slide. The top ends of the fourth short rods 1223 are inserted into the fourth middle grooves 12422, and slide on the second middle sliding hole 12424 through a fourth sliding rod 12231, and bottom ends of the pairs of fourth short rods 1223 are connected with the second lower grooves 12512 through a fourth pivot 12232, so that the bottom ends can rotate when the top ends slide.

(19) Furthermore, the upper beam 1210, the middle beam 1240, and the lower beam 1250 all have snap holes 1213, 1243, 1253 reserved for the wall skin 1100. FIG. 4 shows how the wall frame 1200 is folded, in the folding process, the top ends of the first short rods 1220 and the second short rods 1221 slide toward each other, and the bottom ends of the first short rods 1220 rotate clockwise relative to the first middle grooves 12411, and the bottom ends of the second short rods 1221 rotate counterclockwise relative to the second middle grooves 12412, so that the upper beam 1210 moves downward and overlaps on the middle beam 1240. In addition, the top ends of the third short rods 1222 and the fourth short rods 1223 also slide toward each other, and the bottom ends of the third short rods 1222 rotate clockwise relative to the first lower grooves 12511, and the bottom ends of the fourth short rods 1223 rotate counterclockwise relative to the second lower grooves 12512, so that the middle beam 1240 moves downward and overlaps on the lower beam 1250. In this way, the first short rods 1220 and the second short rods 1221 are folded relative to each other, and the third short rods 1222 and the fourth short rods 1223 are also folded relative to each other, so that the wall frame 1200 finally forms a folded state.

(20) Please also see FIG. 6, it is worth noting that when the upper beam 1210 is overlapped on the middle beam 1240, a portion of each of the first short rods 1220 is located in the first upper grooves 12111, and the other portion is located in the first middle grooves 12411, and a portion of each of the second short rods 1221 is located in the second upper grooves 12112, and the other portion is located in the second middle grooves 12412; when the middle beam 1240 is overlapped on the lower beam 1250, a portion of each of the third short rods 1222 is located in the third middle grooves 12421, and the other portion is located in the first lower grooves 12511, and a portion of each of the fourth short rods 1223 is located in the fourth middle grooves 12422, and the other portion is located in the second lower grooves 12512. Such an inclined arrangement allows the wall frame 1200 to be quickly re-stretched from the folded state to the fully expanded state, thereby reducing the time required for construction.

(21) FIG. 5 shows the internal structure of the upper beam 1210 (or middle beam 1240) and lower beam 1250, because the structure on the top and bottom surface of the middle beam 1240 only duplicates the structure of the upper beam 1210 and lower beam 1250. In addition to the aforementioned structures, in each of the upper groove groups 1211 on the upper beam 1210, there is an upper fixing slot 12115 formed in inner top surfaces of the first upper grooves 12111 at one end away from the second upper grooves 12112 and inner top surfaces of the second upper grooves 12112 at one end away from the first upper grooves 12111 respectively for the first short rods 1220, the second short rods 1221, the first sliding rods 12201, and the second sliding rods 12211 to be fixed in the upper fixing slots 12115 to avoid sliding when assembled into a complete wall. And, in each of the second middle groove groups 1242 on the middle beam 1240, there is a middle fixing slot 12425 formed in inner top surfaces of the third middle grooves 12421 at one end away from the fourth middle grooves 12422 and inner top surfaces of the fourth middle grooves 12422 at one end away from the third middle grooves 12421 respectively for the third short rods 1222, the fourth short rods 1223, the third sliding rods 12221, and the fourth sliding rods 12231 to be fixed in the middle fixing slots 12425 to avoid sliding when assembled into a complete wall. Since the upper fixing slots 12115 and middle fixing slots 12425 are slightly deeper than the first upper grooves 12111, second upper grooves 12112, third middle grooves 12421, fourth middle grooves 12422, and thus can catch the first short rods 1220 to the fourth short bar 1223 in the fully expanded state.

(22) At the ends of the upper beam 1210, there are two snap holes 1213 for the siding 1100. the upper mechanism of the lower beam 1250 is substantially similar to the lower mechanism of the upper beam 1210, with slots 1251 reserved for the stub 1220 in the folded state, and also with positions 1252 for fixing the bearings. there are also snap holes 1213 for the siding 1100 in its middle.

(23) The first embodiment of the wall skin 1100 is shown in detail in FIG. 7. One of the plates 1110 is the outer surface of the wall skin 1100, and the outside of the plate 1110 is exposed after the installation of the wall 1000 is completed. The wall skin 1100 is provided with a plurality of longitudinal grooves 1101 corresponding to the first short rods 1220, the second short rods 1221, the third short rods 1222, and the fourth short rods 1223. The wall skin 1100 is also provided with a plurality of transverse grooves 1102 corresponding to the upper beam 1210, the lower beam 1250, and the middle beams 1240. The wall skin 1100 is further provided with a plurality of fillers 1103 between the longitudinal grooves 1101 and the transverse grooves 1102. Through these structures, the wall skin 1100 can be combined with the wall frame 1200 more quickly. In addition, the wall skin 1100 is provided with a plurality of snaps 1104, and the upper beam 1210, the lower beam 1250, and the middle beams 1240 are provided with a plurality of snap holes 1213, 1243, 1253 correspondingly (as shown in FIGS. 3-5). These snap structures can help workers quickly combine or disassemble the wall skin 1100 and the wall frame 1200 to further reduce maintenance time or assembly time. In addition, some sound-insulating materials and/or fire-resistant materials may be added to the fillers 1103 to enhance the practicality of the present invention.

(24) It should be noted that, in the first embodiment, the middle beam 1240 is only provided with one, but this is only an example. In other embodiments, like show in FIG. 8, a plurality of middle beams 1240 can be added between the upper beam 1210 and the lower beam 1250 to build the wall frame 1200. In those embodiments, when the amount of middle beams 1240 is over one, structure of the wall frame 1200 is that the upper beam 1210 is at the top, the lower beam 1250 is at the bottom, the middle beams 1240 are sandwiched in the middle, and the first short rods 1220, the second short rods 1221, the third short rods 1222, and the fourth short rods 1223 connect the middle beams 1240 to each other in the manner of connecting the upper beam 1210 and the middle beam 1240 and the manner of connecting the middle beam 1240 and the lower beam 1250. In other words, the first short rods 1220 and the second short rods 1221 can be used to connect any middle beam 1240 to the middle beam 1240 below it, in addition to connecting the upper beam 1210 and the middle beam 1240 adjacent to the upper beam 1210. Since the connection method is the same as the connection between the upper beam 1210 and middle beam 1240, it will not be repeated here. What's more, the third short rods 1222 and the fourth short rods 1223 can also be used to connect any middle beam 1240 and the middle beam 1240 above it, in addition to connecting the lower beam 1250 and the middle beam 1240 adjacent to the lower beam 1250. Since the connection method is the same as the connection between the lower beam 1250 and the middle beam 1240, it will not be repeated here.

(25) Please refer to FIGS. 9 & 10, they show an orthogonal view of the second embodiment of foldable and framed wall assembly 2000, which shows only one modular 2000, in reality, there may be more than one 2000 put together. FIG. 8 is an exploded view of the foldable and framed wall assembly 2000, whose main structure consists of wall skin 2100, middle beam 2240, upper beam 2210, and lower beam 2250. The entire foldable and framed wall assembly 2000 requires wall skin 2100 to be installed on both front and back sides of the wall frame 2200. The pillar 2800 was shown in the figure to show the fully-assembled model of the wall 2000.

(26) In some embodiments, the wall frame 2200 may only contain an upper beam, a middle beam, and a lower beam. That is, the foldable and framed wall assembly 2000 comprising: a wall frame 2200, comprising: an upper beam 2210 with an upper deep groove 2211 at bottom; a lower beam 2250, top of which is provided with a lower long groove 2251, and a lower slider 2252 is slidably arranged in the lower long groove 2251; at least one middle beam 2240, top of which is provided with a middle long groove 2241, and a middle slider 2242 is slidably arranged in the middle long groove 2241, and bottom of the middle beam 2240 is provided with a middle deep groove 2243; a plurality of upper short rods 2220, top end of which is pivotally connected to the upper deep groove 2211, and bottom end is pivotally connected to the middle slider 2242, and the upper short rods 2220 are arranged at intervals; and a plurality of lower short rods 2221, top end of which is pivotally connected to the middle deep groove 2243, and bottom end is pivotally connected to the lower slider 2252, and the lower short rods 2221 are arranged at intervals; and at least one wall skin 2100, which is detachably attached to the wall frame 2200 to fill up the space of the wall frame 2200 to form a complete wall.

(27) Although the second embodiment has multiple middle beams 2240, the wall frame can also be assembled by only having one middle beam 2240 as described above, thus the present invention is not limited to the description above.

(28) Please also refer to FIGS. 11 & 12, FIG. 11 shows how the wall frame 2200 is unfolded in the second embodiment. Only the structure of the middle beam 2240 is shown there because both the upper beam 2210 and the lower beam 2250 are repeating the structure of the upper and lower parts of the middle beam and already described above. In order to allow the middle slider 2242 to slide in the middle beam 2240, a middle long groove 2241 is cut in the upper part of the middle beam 2240. In this embodiment, the middle long groove 2241 is provided with two blocking grooves 2230 for movably placing a blocking member 2231 to block the sliding of the middle slider 2242. In addition, a middle deep groove 2243 is cut in the lower part of the middle beam 2240, the purpose of which is to allow middle short rods 2222 to be completely stowed in during the folding process. Tops of the middle short rods 2222 are pivotally connected to the middle deep groove 2243 in any of the middle beam 2240 that is not adjacent to the lower beam 2250, and bottom ends of the middle short rods 2222 are pivotally connected to the middle slider 2242 of the middle beam 2240 located below, and the middle short rods 2222 are arranged at intervals. There is a groove 2223 on one side of each of the middle short rods 2222, in order not to interfere with the middle slider 2242 in the folded state.

(29) Furthermore, the lower long groove 2251 is also provided with two blocking grooves 2223 for movably placing a blocking member 2231 to block the sliding of the lower slider 2252. In addition, bottom of the middle slider 2242 and the lower slider 2252 are provided with a limiting member 2260, and the width of bottom of the limiting members 2260 is greater than that where the limiting members 2260 are connected to the middle slider 2242 and the lower slider 2252 (small at the top and large at the bottom) to limit the movement of the middle slider 2242 and the lower slider 2252 in the middle long groove 2241 and lower long groove 2251. The upper short rods 2220 and the lower short rods 2221 are also provided with a groove 2223 on one side so that the middle slider 2242 and the lower slider 2252 do not get caught when folded.

(30) FIG. 12 shows the folding process of the wall frame 2200. After blocking member 2231 takes out from the blocking grooves 2223, top and bottom ends of the upper short rods 2220, top and bottom ends of the middle short rods 2222, and top and bottom ends of the lower short rods 2221 are rotated respectively in opposite directions to drive the middle slider 2242 and the lower slider 2252 to move, so that the upper short rods 2220, the middle short rods 2222, and the lower short rods 2221 are gradually inclined. That is, the upper short rods 2220, the middle short rods 2222, and the lower short rods 2221 are triggered to make the middle slider 2242 and the lower slider 2252 start sliding in the middle long groove 2241 and the lower long groove 2251, and then the upper beam 2210 and the middle beam 2240 are moved vertically downward and overlapped on the lower beam 2250. At this time, the upper short rods 2220, the middle short rods 2222, and the lower short rods 2221 are respectively placed in the upper deep groove 2211 and the middle deep groove 2243. Therefore, the folding process is completed.

(31) Please refer to FIG. 13, it shows the wall skin 2100 of the second embodiment of the foldable and framed wall assembly 2000. In this embodiment, the wall skin 2100 is provided with a plurality of longitudinal grooves 2101 corresponding to the upper short rods 2220, the middle short rods 2222, and the lower short rods 2221, and the wall skin 2100 is also provided with a plurality of transverse grooves 2102 corresponding to the upper beam 2210, the lower beam 2250, and the middle beams 2240, and the wall skin 2100 is further provided with a plurality of fillers 2103 between the longitudinal grooves 2101 and the transverse grooves 2102. Through these structures, the wall skin 2100 can be combined with the wall frame 2200 more quickly. Furthermore, the top of the wall skin 2100 is provided with two protrusions 2104 for inserting into the upper deep groove 2211 and the middle deep groove 2243 so that the wall skin 2100 and the wall frame 2200 are combined with each other. These structures can help workers quickly combine or disassemble the wall skin 2100 and the wall frame 2200 to further reduce maintenance time or assembly time. In addition, some sound-insulating materials and/or fire-resistant materials may be added to the fillers 2103 to enhance the practicality of the present invention.
