Modular building
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of containers, in particular to a modular building.
Background
The modular building is formed by splicing a plurality of containers so as to meet various living requirements of people such as accommodation, office, sanitation, showering, kitchen, storage and the like. However, such containers for splicing are generally complex in construction, consume a large amount of material, and are not conducive to field installation. Meanwhile, when field installation is carried out, more installation tools are needed, and the field installation noise is large. In addition, these containers are usually fixed by fasteners, and the installation speed is slow, the time consumption is much, and the requirement of quick installation cannot be met.
There is therefore a need to provide a modular building to at least partially address the above problems.
