Definitions
- enclosures for use as sub-assemblies or end-products.
- One such example is the design and manufacture of enclosures of varying materials and sizes to enclose components that collectively are used to generate electricity or other energy outputs.
- auxiliary power systems typically utilize a diesel engine that when combined with other electrical components are used to generate electricity. The resulting electrical output is then used for both prime (primary source) and backup (redundant source) power.
- the enclosures are typically assembled from components largely fabricated from within the same manufacturing facility where resulting specifications are engineered to comply with pre-determined constraints such as outside dimensions, air flow requirements within the enclosure, space requirements within the enclosure for internal components, etc.
- the enclosures are typically assembled by several individuals who work together to fit the enclosure together.
- the enclosure remains in the location from which assembly started until time that the manufacturer chooses to move the enclosure. This is often done via an overhead crane or pushing/pulling via forklift. This move can be expensive in terms of utilizing an expensive overhead crane, and in terms of the added risk of gravity damaging what can be a very expensive enclosure should it fall from the overhead crane.

Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/093,032 filed Aug. 29, 2008 (HUR 0005 MA).
- Various industries rely upon fabrication of enclosures for use as sub-assemblies or end-products. One such example is the design and manufacture of enclosures of varying materials and sizes to enclose components that collectively are used to generate electricity or other energy outputs. Several factors are driving demand for auxiliary power systems that are commonly used for industrial, construction, mining, oil & gas exploration, and commercial applications. These power systems typically utilize a diesel engine that when combined with other electrical components are used to generate electricity. The resulting electrical output is then used for both prime (primary source) and backup (redundant source) power. For industrial applications this is used to support either prime or backup electricity within factories, for construction, mining, and oil & gas applications these are typically used to generate prime power for the equipment given the locations are too distant for connection to the municipal electrical grid; for commercial applications these are typically used for backup power for the electrical systems should the municipal electrical grid lose power due to a storm, natural disasters, sabotage, etc.
- The enclosures are typically assembled from components largely fabricated from within the same manufacturing facility where resulting specifications are engineered to comply with pre-determined constraints such as outside dimensions, air flow requirements within the enclosure, space requirements within the enclosure for internal components, etc. The enclosures are typically assembled by several individuals who work together to fit the enclosure together. The enclosure remains in the location from which assembly started until time that the manufacturer chooses to move the enclosure. This is often done via an overhead crane or pushing/pulling via forklift. This move can be expensive in terms of utilizing an expensive overhead crane, and in terms of the added risk of gravity damaging what can be a very expensive enclosure should it fall from the overhead crane. Though using a forklift to push or pull the enclosure by dragging it on the flooring may not be as expensive to operate as an overhead crane (which few factories can afford to buy or maintain), there remains significant risks for damage with this method as the enclosure must be dragged over what is often an uneven and/or broken surface.
- Due to the above, cost/benefit ratios for decision-making often discourage factory personnel from moving the enclosure though movement might make the overall manufacturing process more efficient. Moving the enclosure down an assembly line or to the capital equipment that is fixed in its location, such as a paint booth, are simply two such examples of why an easier and less risky method for moving an enclosure would be ideal.

- Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to methods of constructing enclosures using embodiments of undercarriage support systems, as described generally herein. The undercarriage support system may support enclosures of various dimensions, such as, but not limited to, temporary shelters, security enclosures, energy power modules, power modules, portable enclosures, etc.
- Referring initially to
FIG. 10 , theundercarriage support system 14 is provided for supporting theenclosure 12 during one or more stages of construction of theenclosure 12. Theundercarriage support system 14 comprises a plurality of modularenclosure support components 16 and a plurality of motive supports 18 for facilitating movement of theundercarriage support system 14 and anenclosure 12 supported thereon. As shown inFIGS. 3-7 , the modularenclosure support components 16 are configured to interconnect so as to form a support for theenclosure 12. More particularly, the modularenclosure support components 16, shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 , interconnect atends 20 of the modularenclosure support components 16 via respectiveinter-component end ports 22 disposed at or near theends 20 of the modularenclosure support components 16. As such, theinter-component end ports 22 are positioned to facilitate modular interconnection of the modularenclosure support components 16. Further, the modularenclosure support components 16 may be L-shaped or linearly shaped. When linearly shaped, the modularenclosure support components 16 may be configured to interconnect, via theinter-component end ports 22, in parallel to form a linear configuration of interconnected modularenclosure support components 16 or to interconnect angularly or perpendicularly to form an L-shaped or other angled configuration. It is contemplated that the modularenclosure support components 16 may be provided in one or more of any variety of dimensions, whether in width, length, height, or otherwise. - With variability in shapes and dimensions of the modular
enclosure support components 16, the modularenclosure support components 16 may interconnect in configurations appropriate to support of any variety of differently sized and/or differently shaped enclosures. In addition, with the interconnecting of the modularenclosure support components 16 via theinter-component end ports 22, the interconnected modularenclosure support components 16 are assembled such that theundercarriage support system 14 exhibits a degree of structural rigidity sufficient to support an entire weight of theenclosure 12 during one or more stages of construction. - Further, the
inter-component end ports 22 exhibit a degree of structural rigidity sufficient to contribute to immobilization of interconnected modularenclosure support components 16 relative to each other. In addition, theinter-component end ports 22 may permit disengagement of interconnected modularenclosure support components 16. As such, theundercarriage support system 14 may be partially or entirely disassembled to facilitate storage or shipment of theundercarriage support system 14. In addition, one or more of the modularenclosure support components 16 may be disengaged from other modularenclosure support components 16 for repair or replacement purposes should, for example, a modularenclosure support component 16 be damaged and/or the ability to support anenclosure 12 be compromised. - To further inhibit undesirable disengagement of interconnected modular
enclosure support components 16, theinter-component end ports 22 may interlock. The interlocking of theinter-component end ports 22 may be achieved in one or more of any variety of ways, whether by insertable locking pins, retractable levers, or otherwise. The modularenclosure support components 16 may comprise one or more release mechanisms to control release of interlockedinter-component end ports 22 to permit disengagement of interconnected modularenclosure support components 16. The release mechanisms may be controllable manually at the modularenclosure support components 16, such as, with a manual withdrawal of a locking pin frominter-component end ports 22 or with actuation of a knob or button to disengage retractable levers from an interlocked state. - The
inter-component end ports 22 may be configured in any manner sufficient to perform the purposes described herein of theinter-component end ports 22. In one exemplary embodiment, shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 , theinter-component end ports 22 are configured ascomplementary pins 24 andrecesses 26. In another exemplary embodiment, theinter-component end ports 22 are configured as complementary tongue and groove connectors. In another exemplary embodiment, theinter-component end ports 22 are configured as complementary dovetail connectors. In yet another exemplary embodiment, theinter-component ports 22 are configured as a combination of any of the above and/or other interconnectable ports. - With the assembling of the modular
enclosure support components 16 via theinter-component end ports 22, theundercarriage support system 14 complements a perimeter of a footprint of theenclosure 12 to be supported during one or more stages of construction. More particularly, the interconnected modularenclosure support components 16 define an interior construction space that permits movement of personnel within the perimeter of the footprint of theenclosure 12. This interior construction space may facilitate execution of one or more stages of construction of anenclosure 12 at least partially supported by theundercarriage support system 14. - To further facilitate execution of one or more stages of enclosure construction, the
enclosure 12 may be elevated with respect to a ground surface, which may improve the ergonomics associated with constructing theenclosure 12. More particularly, the modularenclosure support components 16 may be configured to stack so as to permit assembling of two or more layers of interconnected modularenclosure support components 16. Thereby, the layers of interconnected modular enclosure support components further elevate theenclosure 12 with respect to a ground surface. Alternatively, or in addition thereto, theundercarriage support system 14 may further comprise a plurality of stackingblocks 30, as shown inFIG. 11 . The stacking blocks 30 may be configured to stack on top of each other and/or on top surfaces of the interconnected modularenclosure support components 16 so as to form two ormore layers 28 formed through a combination of modular enclosure support components and stackingblocks 30. Thereby, the stackingblocks 30 further elevate theenclosure 12 with respect to a ground surface. In addition, it is contemplated that a combination of two or more layers of stacked, interconnected modularenclosure support components 16 and one or more layers of stackingblocks 30 may be assembled to further elevate theenclosure 12 with respect to a ground surface. - As shown in
FIG. 11 , stackedlayers 28 of modularenclosure support components 16 and/or stackingblocks 30 may be secured so as to prevent lateral movement between the stacked layers 28. This securing of thestacked layers 28 may be achieved through one or more of any variety of interconnecting devices. For example, but not by way of limitation,FIG. 11 illustrates U-bolts 31 inserted into stackedlayers 28 of modularenclosure support components 16 and stackingblocks 30 and pins 33 inserted betweenstacked layers 28 of stackingblocks 30. It is also contemplated that the modularenclosure support components 16 and/or stackingblocks 30 may comprise coupling ports configured and positioned to facilitate vertical interconnection, through stacking, of the modularenclosure support components 16 and/or stackingblocks 30 to sufficiently secure thestacked layers 28 to prevent lateral movement there-between. - As shown in
FIGS. 7 , 8, 10, and 11, theundercarriage support system 12 also may comprise aprotective layer 32 that is configured to protect portions of theenclosure 12 in direct contact with theundercarriage support system 14 from marring or other damage. As such, as shown inFIGS. 10 and 11 , theprotective layer 32 generally is applied to top surfaces of a top layer of modularenclosure support components 16 or to top surfaces of a top layer of stackingblocks 30 to protect what is generally a bottom surface of the perimeter of theenclosure 12. Theprotective layer 32 may be configured of any material suitable for performing the purposes described herein. For example, but not of limitation, theprotective layer 32 may be configured of Delrin®. As shown inFIGS. 7 and 8 , theprotective layer 32 may be applied to the modularenclosure support components 16 and/or the stackingblocks 30 by one ormore fasteners 34, such as, but not limited to, screws or bolts, through one ormore apertures 36 in theprotective layer 32. To prevent marring or other damage to theenclosure 12, theapertures 36 may be configured to permit the countersinking of thefasteners 34 such that thefasteners 34 do not project above a top surface of theprotective layer 32. It is contemplated that theprotective layer 32 may be applied to the modularenclosure support components 16 and/or the stackingblocks 30 by other or additional applications. - As mentioned above, the
undercarriage support system 14 also comprises a plurality of motive supports 18 for facilitating movement of theundercarriage support system 14 and anyenclosure 12 supported thereon. Generally, the motive supports 14 are positioned onbottom surfaces 38 of one or more of the modularenclosure support components 16. One or more of any variety of motive supports suitable for use as described herein may be used. In one exemplary embodiment, shown inFIGS. 2 , 4, 6, 7, 10, and 11, the motive supports 14 arecasters 18. These casters of theundercarriage support system 14 may be swivel casters or rigid casters, or a combination thereof. The swivel casters or the rigid casters, or both, may be lockable so as to prevent undesired movement of theundercarriage support system 14. Further, it is contemplated that the weight capacity of theundercarriage support system 14 is scalable by interchanging casters, or other motive supports 18, with those with greater weight-bearing capacity. - In addition, the swivel casters or the rigid casters, or both, may be adjustable in height so as to adjust an elevation between the bottom surfaces 38 of the interconnected modular
enclosure support components 16 and a ground surface. This height adjustability of the casters may be provided suitable mechanisms, such as, but not limited to, spring-loaded locks or snap-fit locks. Further, the swivel casters or the rigid casters, or both, respectfully comprise a suspension to facilitate movement of theundercarriage support system 14, particularly over uneven surfaces. Using casters, or other motive supports 18, with suspensions, the elevation of theenclosure 12 with respect to a ground surface can remain relatively constant though the ground surface may be uneven. Thus, the suspension may help maintain the structural integrity of theenclosure 12 being built. The suspension may be configured as pneumatic cylinders or springs, or otherwise. - To further facilitate movement of the
undercarriage support system 14 and anyenclosure 12 supported thereon, the undercarriage support system may comprise anadaptor 40, as shown inFIG. 9 . Theadaptor 40 may be configured to couple to one or more of the interconnected modularenclosure support components 16 or to one or more of the motive supports 18, or both, to facilitate movement of theundercarriage support system 14. More particularly, one or more of the modularenclosure support components 16 or one or more of the motive supports 18, or both, may comprise one ormore receivers 46, shown inFIG. 11 , that are configured to couple to one ormore coupling devices 44, shown inFIG. 9 , of theadaptor 40. Further, theadaptor 40 may further comprise aneyelet 42 configured to couple to a device configured to move theundercarriage support system 14 and anyenclosure 12 supported thereon via theadaptor 40. For exemplary purposes only, theadaptor 40 may couple to a forklift or other motorized vehicle that may tow, pull, or otherwise move theundercarriage support system 14 and anyenclosure 12 supported thereon via theadaptor 40. Thereby, one or more stages of enclosure construction may be executed while at least a portion of theenclosure 12 is supported and moveable by theundercarriage support system 14 via the plurality of motive supports 18 and, if used, anadaptor 40. The ability to move anenclosure 12 during its construction may improve the overall efficiency of the enclosure construction process as theenclosure 12 may now move to different equipment or process stages without requiring any necessary machinery or equipment to come to what would otherwise be a fixed location of theenclosure 12. - It is noted that recitations herein of a component of an embodiment being “configured” in a particular way or to embody a particular property, or function in a particular manner, are structural recitations as opposed to recitations of intended use. More specifically, the references herein to the manner in which a component is “configured” denotes an existing physical condition of the component and, as such, is to be taken as a definite recitation of the structural characteristics of the component.
