Description

Cabin module of a treatment tunnel of a treatment plant, treatment tunnel and treatment plant

Technical Field

The present application relates to a cabin module for a process tunnel of a process plant, and to a process tunnel and a process plant comprising at least one cabin module.

Background

So-called integrated cabin modules for production systems for vehicles (cars, lorries, trucks, buses), in particular painting systems, are used to accommodate transport engineering equipment and robots. The cabin modules present the bottom section of the process tunnel, in which in turn a plurality of process plants are mounted.

The cabin modules are usually made up of a plurality of sections which are assembled on site at the construction site of the treatment plant and welded to one another. The sections are mostly formed by hollow profiles.

The production of parts of the cabin modules takes place at different sites, usually near the construction site, since in particular the transport of relatively large parts to the construction site constitutes a particular challenge and may be associated with high costs.

Therefore, a large amount of welding work must be performed at the construction site. For production and when installing the sections, large cranes are usually necessary. The quality and standard of finished parts also vary very significantly from manufacturing enterprise to manufacturing enterprise. For this production approach, integration of power wiring is not usually performed.

SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL

The object of the present application is to provide a cabin module for a treatment tunnel of a treatment plant, in particular a vehicle production plant, which can be produced economically and can be used flexibly.

Another object of the present application is to accomplish a process tunnel comprising one or more cabin modules, which is economical to manufacture and flexible to use.

It is a further object of the application to provide a processing device comprising at least one processing tunnel.

The features mentioned individually in the claims can be combined with one another in a technically meaningful manner and can be supplemented by explanatory facts in the description and by details in the drawings, in which further embodiment variants of the application are indicated.

According to one aspect of the application, a cabin module is proposed, which comprises a longitudinal direction, a process tunnel for a process plant, wherein the process tunnel comprises at least one cabin module; comprising at least two longitudinal beams arranged at a distance from one another on the sides, which longitudinal beams are connected to one another by at least two transverse beams arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction, in particular orthogonally to the longitudinal beams. The longitudinal beams are formed by prefabricated box-shaped profiles, which are connected to each other at the end faces, in particular welded to each other.

The transverse beam is connected to the longitudinal beam, in particular screwed thereto.

The described cabin modules can be produced in a standardized manner, whereby the construction is similar or even identical for different process tunnels of a processing plant, in particular a production plant of a vehicle, such as in particular a painting plant.

Advantageously, the components of the cabin module are stackable. In this way, it can be stored and/or transported in a space-saving manner.

The longitudinal beam is a detachable hollow section. The maximum length is for example 8500mm to enable transport in standard containers. The stringers may be assembled from standard components, possibly of different lengths. Thus, for a cabin module of 12m length, a split into 8500mm and 3500mm is advantageous. The two parts may be welded together at the construction site.

The split depends on the position of the beam. The cross beam should not be screwed directly onto the weld seam of the joint between the two box-shaped profiles. In addition, the detachment depends on the position of the transport technical equipment and the robot to be mounted on the cabin module and also on the transport dimensions. The stringer is advantageously split into only two parts.

The cross members are, for example, screwed orthogonally to each other at a distance of 3000mm to the longitudinal members and connect the two sides. The cross-beam is likewise a hollow profile. The thread plates for the connection of the cross members can be welded in the box-shaped profile of the longitudinal members, in particular by means of electric welding, and are already positioned during the production of the longitudinal members. Here, the thread plate is provided with an internal thread. The screw can thus be placed from the outside through the bore hole in the wall of the box-shaped profile. The cross-beam has adapter plates which comprise bores for screws, which bores can be passed through to the internal thread of the threaded plate. Alternatively or additionally, pipe joints can be arranged laterally on the longitudinal beams, in particular welded pipe joints, and the respective transverse beam can be connected to the respective pipe joint, in particular to a screw-nut connection. For this purpose, the pipe connection and the cross-member can have corresponding adapter plates, which comprise through-holes for screws.

The cross-beam may be designed to be offset downwards in the middle in its longitudinal extension and have straight side wings on both sides of the offset. However, embodiments are also possible in which the transverse supports are designed as straight.

In order to use the hollow profile of the cross-beam for cable access or for access to paint lines, a tube can be arranged in the extension of the transverse profile in the box profile on the threaded plate. This is particularly advantageous for stabilization. On the outside of the box profile, the tube is open and sealed, which can also be achieved already at the manufacturer. The tube and the transverse profile advantageously have the same internal dimensions. Thereby, a passage is created on the other side of the cabin module by the cross beam.

This passage enhances the torsional stiffness of the box-like profile, which is again important for absorbing shocks of e.g. a robot mounted thereon.

All thread plates are advantageously only nailed from the inside. Thereby saving time and expense at the manufacturer. The construction is still stable due to the clamping force. For example, the adapter plate on the cross member can be welded thereto as a counterpart. The adapter plate has a bore, in particular a through-hole, corresponding to the internal thread of the threaded plate.

For box profiles of stringers, the underside is left open during production. Thereby, the thread plate can be inserted into the box profile from below and clinched.

The weight of the screwed-in cabin module corresponds to the weight of a standard cabin module. The supply costs are reduced and the production quality is increased compared to standard cabin modules. Based on the screw-on concept of the components of the cabin module, the components can be produced by the manufacturer and delivered to the construction site cost-effectively, independently of the site of the construction site. The cabin modules are adapted to standard containers, which significantly reduces the delivery costs.

The production time can be accelerated by entrusting the production of the parts. Based on the screw concept, the installation diagram can be assigned to different manufacturers. Subsequently, the provided parts can then be assembled at the construction site.

According to the utility model discloses an important advantage of cabin module is in the spare part operation at the treatment facility's that the cabin module should come into operation job site. During operation, a conventional forklift can be used, as would be used in the production of parts. The manufacturer does not need any crane.

By producing the components at different locations and only installing them at the job site, production time can be reduced. It is possible to output a single production drawing.

Since the cabin modules are constructed modularly by using the bolt concept and the cabin modules of a length of at most 14m can be transported in a standard container, the transportation costs can be reduced. So far, only a length of 11m is possible.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the cabin module, at least one longitudinal element for accommodating transport technical equipment can be arranged on the cross member. In this case, the longitudinal element is arranged between at least two longitudinal beams in the longitudinal direction. Alternatively or additionally, parallel to the cross-beam, at least one transverse element for receiving one or more grid discs may be arranged.

The longitudinal elements for receiving the transport engineering equipment can be screwed to the transverse girders. The adapter plate is welded to the outer side of the longitudinal element, since the plate thickness is insufficient for a direct thread in the longitudinal element itself. The adapter plate may not be pinned to the interior of the longitudinal element because there is no access to the interior region. Alternatively, for connecting the longitudinal elements, the transverse beam can have corresponding pipe connections comprising adapter plates, which are welded externally to the transverse beam.

Like the grating disk itself, the transverse elements for receiving the grating disk are designed to be detachable and can thus be cleaned more easily.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the cabin module, the longitudinal beams and/or the transverse beams can be designed as hollow profiles. Hollow profiles have the advantage of being lightweight with a high load-bearing capacity and torsional rigidity, and are therefore just particularly suitable for the use of modular platforms which have to carry heavy installations and have as low a weight as possible themselves. In particular, at least one longitudinal element can be connected, in particular screwed, to the transverse beam at a connection point.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the cabin module, openings can be provided in two opposite walls of the longitudinal beam at the connection point of the transverse beam and the longitudinal beam, which openings correspond in particular to the inner dimensions of the transverse beam at the connection point. The opening may be used, for example, to guide power wiring from one side of the cabin module to the other. In addition, fluid lines, such as paint lines, can thus also be guided through the cross members and the longitudinal members in a protected manner.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the cabin module, the opening of the longitudinal beam can be provided for accommodating a tube arranged inside the longitudinal beam, which tube is connected to the mutually opposite walls of the longitudinal beam, in particular is welded in a sealing manner thereto. Here, the inner dimensions of the tubes may correspond to the inner dimensions of the cross beam. Alternatively, the internal dimensions of the tubes may be different from, in particular also smaller than, the internal dimensions of the cross beam, if desired.

In order to use the hollow profile of the cross-beam for cable passages or for passages for paint lines, tubes can be arranged in the extension of the transverse profile in the box-shaped profile on the thread plate. On the outside of the box profile, the tube is open and seal-welded, which can likewise already be achieved at the manufacturer of the components of the cabin module. The tube and the transverse profile advantageously have the same internal dimensions. Thereby, a passage is created on the other side of the cabin module by the cross beam.

According to one advantageous embodiment of the cabin module, the longitudinal and/or transverse beams, which are designed as box and/or hollow profiles, have laterally projecting pipe connections which point to corresponding connection fittings. This allows a simple connection of the finished connection fittings when assembling the cabin module at the place of use, wherein the components of the cabin module are transported to the place of use.

At least one of the longitudinal beams may have at least one lateral pipe connection projecting from the corresponding associated transverse beam, which is designed to connect the longitudinal beam to the transverse beam. A screw-nut connection is advantageous. For this purpose, adapter plates can be arranged on the respective crossmember and on the respectively corresponding pipe connections, each of which has through-holes through which screws can be inserted and screwed with nuts.

In particular, it is advantageously possible to avoid the difficulty of establishing a connection of the box-shaped profiles of the longitudinal beams with the transverse beams or with the transverse beams comprising longitudinal elements between the transverse beams during assembly on site. Sufficient accessibility of the box-shaped profile, such as a hollow profile, in particular into the interior, is only produced when a single component is produced, but this cannot be guaranteed any more at the time of installation if the finished component is to be assembled on site.

Advantageously, stub pipe connections of similar size to the cross-beam to be connected can be preset separately. The pipe connection can be welded to the side wall of the box profile during production. Correspondingly, one or more pipe connections can be foreseen on the cross beam, to which the longitudinal elements can be connected. The length of the pipe joint may be limited to a size that allows accessibility when connecting the components, for example about 120 mm. By this dimension it is possible to position and tighten the nut when assembling the component without the need for further auxiliary tools. If the spacing is too large, it can cause interference when loading into the container. For a cabin module of 12m length, the entire cabin module can thus be placed in a single standard container.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the cabin module, the at least one lateral pipe connection projecting beyond the cross member can have a considerable extent in the circumferential direction. This allows a firm and stable connection of the longitudinal beams to the transverse beams.

For additional reinforcement of such connections (struts/supports), it may be advantageous to weld additional reinforcement plates to the pipe connections and to the cross-members or longitudinal members to be connected. The number and size of the reinforcing plates may be selected according to the load to be captured. In the case of sufficiently low loads, the reinforcing plate can be dispensed with if necessary.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the cabin module, the respective cross member can be connected to the respective longitudinal member by screwing the adapter plate, which is arranged in each case at the end of the cross member, onto the adapter plate arranged on the pipe connection of the longitudinal member, wherein the respective adapter plate can be fixedly connected, in particular welded, to the cross member and/or the pipe connection. Alternatively, the respective transverse beam can be connected to the respective longitudinal beam by screwing an adapter plate, which is arranged in each case at the end of the transverse beam, to a threaded plate, which is arranged in the interior of the longitudinal beam, wherein the adapter plate can be fixedly connected to the transverse beam, in particular welded thereto, and the threaded plate is connected to the longitudinal beam, in particular nailed thereto.

The adapter plate can be fixedly connected to the transverse member, in particular welded thereto, and the thread plate can be connected to the longitudinal member, in particular nailed together. If the thread plate is used, the adapter plate is provided with a drill hole corresponding to the internal thread of the thread plate; or if the cross beam is connected with the pipe joint of the longitudinal beam, the drilling hole of the adapter plate is correspondingly consistent with the drilling hole of the adapter plate corresponding to the longitudinal beam.

In this way, it is possible to establish a fixed connection between the transverse beam and the longitudinal beam, which has the necessary screw length, which is necessary for a high-load screw connection. If, instead of a pipe connection, a thread plate is used in the longitudinal beam, it must only be nailed for the installation, since in the final state the screwing ensures the necessary power connection.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the cabin module, support elements, in particular for accommodating the robot, can be arranged on at least two transverse beams. The support elements can be arranged between the longitudinal beams and adjacent to the longitudinal beams in the longitudinal direction.

The length of the support elements can here vary depending on the number and size of the robots. It is also possible to supplement the support element. The support element is screwed onto the box-shaped profile via the adapter plate and the thread plate. When using a threaded plate, it is also welded internally to the box profile, in particular by means of electric welding pins. When using a lateral pipe joint, it is expediently welded to the longitudinal beam. On the support element a robot can be parked. No further screwing is required.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the cabin module, at least one receiving element can be provided on the longitudinal beam for connecting the support elements and/or for receiving the robot.

The receiving element serves as a receiving point for the support element or as a foot for the robot. Further, the accommodation element serves to introduce the load of the robot into the cabin module. The receiving elements are likewise welded to the cabin modules at the manufacturer. For weight saving, no receiving element is provided over the entire length of the longitudinal beam.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the cabin module, the respective support element can be connected to the longitudinal beam by screwing an adapter plate, which is arranged in each case on the end of the support element facing the longitudinal beam, to a screw plate or a pipe connection arranged inside the longitudinal beam. The support element can be connected to the crossmember via a further adapter plate arranged at the end facing the crossmember, wherein a threaded plate or a pipe connection is arranged, in particular welded, on the crossmember. The adapter plate is provided with a drill hole corresponding to the internal thread of the thread plate.

In this way, it is possible to establish a fixed connection between the support element and the transverse or longitudinal beam, which has the necessary screw length, which is necessary for a high-load screw connection. For installation, only the thread plate in the stringer has to be nailed, since in the final state the screwing ensures the necessary dynamic connection. The thread plates on the cross beam are welded due to the small wall thickness of the cross beam and lack of access from the inside to the outside. Alternatively, instead of the thread plate, a pipe connection can also be provided, which can be easily accessed from the outside for the screw-nut connection when the cabin module is installed.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the cabin module, at least one transverse element can be fixedly connected, in particular screwed, to one of the at least two longitudinal beams and to the respective following longitudinal element. Advantageously, the screwing of the transverse element can also be loosened again, in order to be able to remove the transverse element, for example for cleaning purposes.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the cabin module, the at least one receiving element can be fixedly connected to the longitudinal beam, in particular welded to the outer side. The receiving elements are likewise welded to the cabin modules at the manufacturer. For weight saving, no receiving element is provided over the entire length of the longitudinal beam.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the cabin module, at least one longitudinal element can be connected by screwing an adapter plate arranged at the end of the longitudinal element with a screw plate arranged on the cross beam or a pipe connection arranged there, in particular with a fixed connection, in particular a welded screw plate or pipe connection, to the outside of the cross beam. The adapter plate is provided with a drill hole corresponding to the internal thread of the thread plate or the through hole of the adapter plate of the pipe joint.

The longitudinal elements for receiving the transport technology equipment are screwed to the cross beams. The adapter plate is welded to the outer side of the longitudinal element, since the plate thickness is insufficient for a direct thread in the longitudinal element itself. The adapter plate may not be pinned to the interior of the longitudinal element because there is no access to the interior region. The adapter plate is provided with a drill hole corresponding to the internal thread of the thread plate. Alternatively, the transverse beam can have a corresponding pipe connection comprising an adapter plate for the connection to the longitudinal element.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the cabin module, the thread plates arranged inside the at least two longitudinal beams can be nailed. For installation, only the thread plate in the stringer has to be nailed, since in the final state the screwing ensures the necessary dynamic connection.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the cabin module, at least one longitudinal beam can have at least one opening on the underside for the installation of a screw plate arranged inside, which can be closed off by a covering plate after the installation of the screw plate. In this way, accessibility is obtained for the purpose of placing the thread plate, in particular for clinching the thread plate, inside the stringer. Subsequently, the underside of the longitudinal beam can be closed again hermetically with a cover plate.

According to another aspect of the application, a process tunnel is proposed, which comprises at least one or more cabin modules that are consecutive in the longitudinal direction, wherein at least one cabin module is built on a pillar. The support column is screwed to at least one cabin module via a screw plate.

The entire cabin module is built on pillars fixed in the floor. These struts are likewise screwed to the cabin module, instead of being welded thereto as in the prior art. The thread plate is attached to the longitudinal beam on the outside for this purpose. This can increase the speed of constructing the processing tunnel.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the process tunnel, a screw plate can be arranged on the longitudinal beams of at least one cabin module from the outside, in particular welded thereto, for the screw fastening of the struts.

After the box profile of the longitudinal beam has been welded closed and sealed, the threaded plate of the support column is added from the outside. The opening of the box-shaped profile is not opened from above, because there are ribs which bring about additional stability. In addition, the accuracy of the upper side is more important, and thermal deformation occurs at the time of seal welding.

According to another aspect of the application, a processing device comprising a processing tunnel is proposed. The treatment tunnel advantageously has one or more cabin modules as described above which are continuous in the longitudinal direction. The treatment plant can advantageously be used as a production plant for vehicles, for example as a painting plant.

Fig. 1 shows a treatment plant 200 comprising a treatment tunnel 110 comprising a plurality of cabin modules 100 according to an embodiment of the present application in succession in the longitudinal direction.

The treatment plant 200 has a treatment tunnel 110 comprising a plurality of cabin modules 100 which are successive in the longitudinal direction L. The cabin module 100 is built on a pillar 102, wherein the pillar 102 is screwed on the cabin module 100 via a threaded plate, for example on the underside of the cabin module 100. In this case, for the screw-fixing of the strut 102, a screw plate is arranged on the longitudinal beam 10 of the cabin module 100 from the outside, in particular welded thereto.

Fig. 2 shows the cabin module 100 according to an embodiment of the present application in an isometric view, while in fig. 3 the cabin module 100 is shown viewed from the underside facing the strut 102 in fig. 1, shown in a top view in fig. 4. Fig. 6 shows the components of the cabin module 100 in an exploded view.

For the sake of clarity, reference numerals have been given only once in each case in the case of a plurality of identical components.

The cabin module 100 has longitudinal beams 10 arranged at a distance on both sides, which are connected to one another by a plurality of transverse beams 20 arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction L (in particular arranged orthogonally to the longitudinal beams 10). The longitudinal beams 10 are formed by prefabricated box-shaped profiles 12, which are connected to one another, in particular welded to one another, at end faces 16 (see fig. 5). The junction 14 can be seen in fig. 2 and 3. The cross member 20 is screwed with the longitudinal member 10.

In the embodiment shown, the cross beam 20 is offset downwards in the middle in its longitudinal extension and has straight side wings on both sides of the offset. However, embodiments are also possible in which the transverse supports are designed as straight.

The longitudinal beam 10 is designed as a hollow profile. The cross member 20 can advantageously also be designed as a hollow profile.

On the transverse beam 20, the first longitudinal element 30 and/or the second longitudinal element 32 are arranged in a region offset downward in this example for accommodating the transport technology equipment. The first longitudinal element 30 and/or the second longitudinal element 32 are each arranged between two longitudinal beams 10 in the longitudinal direction L. The two first longitudinal elements 30 are arranged here in the lower part of the downwardly offset region of the transverse beam 20, while the second longitudinal elements 32 are arranged on the transition from the offset region to the straight flanks. It should be understood that the longitudinal elements may also be designed to be straight or may have upwardly offset regions.

Parallel to the cross-beam 20, a plurality of transverse elements 40 are arranged, which can be preset, for example, to accommodate a plurality of grid plates 42.

Arranged on the cross beam 20 is a support element 50, in particular for accommodating a robot 60 (fig. 1). The support element 50 is arranged between the longitudinal beams 10 in the longitudinal direction L, but closely adjacent to the longitudinal beams 10. The support element 50 is connected to the transverse beam 20 and the longitudinal beam 10.

A plurality of receiving elements 52 for connecting the support elements 50 and/or for receiving a robot 60 (fig. 1) are provided on the longitudinal beam 10. The receiving element 52 is fixedly connected to the longitudinal beam 10, in particular welded to the outer side 62.

Facing laterally outwards, the longitudinal beams 10 have support brackets 44.

In fig. 6 an enlarged partial view of the underside of the cabin module 100 according to fig. 3 is shown. In particular, in this figure, different connection points of the transverse member 20, the first longitudinal element 30 and/or the second longitudinal element 32, the supporting element 50, the transverse element 40 to the longitudinal member 10 or the transverse member 20 can be seen.

The transverse beam 20 is connected to the longitudinal beam 10 by screwing a second adapter plate 28, which is arranged in each case at the first end 26 of the transverse beam 20, into a first threaded plate 13 (not visible in the drawing) arranged inside the longitudinal beam 10. The second adapter plate 28 is in this case fixedly connected to the transverse member 20, in particular welded thereto, and the first thread plate 13 on the inner wall of the longitudinal member 10 is connected to the longitudinal member 10, in particular nailed thereto.

The support element 50 is connected to the longitudinal beam 10 by screwing a fifth adapter plate 56 to a threaded plate arranged inside the longitudinal beam 10, wherein only selected sections of the support element are visible in the figure. The fifth adapter plate 56 can be arranged on the end face side on the free second end 54 of the support element 50 facing the longitudinal beam 10. In addition to this, the support element 50 is connected to the transverse beam 20 via a further sixth adapter plate 58, which is arranged on the third end 55 facing the transverse beam 20. The fourth thread plate 59 is arranged on the cross beam 20, in particular welded thereto. The fourth thread plate 59 is arranged on the cross member 20 from the outside.

The transverse elements 40 are each fixedly connected, in particular screwed, to one of the at least two longitudinal beams 10 and to the respectively nearest second longitudinal element 32. The transverse elements 40 can be removed together with the grating disk 42 for cleaning purposes.

The first longitudinal element 30 and/or the second longitudinal element 32 is connected by screwing a third adapter plate (34) and/or a fourth adapter plate (38) arranged at the end of the first longitudinal element 30 and/or the second longitudinal element 32 with a second threaded plate (36) and/or a third threaded plate (39) arranged on the transverse beam 20, in particular with the second threaded plate (36) and/or the third threaded plate (39) fixedly connected, in particular welded, to the outside of the transverse beam 20.

For example, only the first thread plate 13 arranged inside the at least two longitudinal beams 10 is clinched, since the necessary frictional or dynamic connection to the longitudinal beams 10 is obtained by screwing and, in this regard, no high-load-tolerant connection to the box profile 12 of the longitudinal beam 10 has to be present.

The longitudinal beam 10 has second openings 64 on the underside 66 for the installation of the internally arranged first thread plate 13, which can be closed by the cover plate 46 after the installation of the first thread plate 13. The cover plate 46 can be seen in fig. 6.

The cross beam 20 and the support element 50 of the cabin module 100 are shown in an isometric view in fig. 7.

The transverse beam 20 has a second adapter plate 28 on both ends for connection to the longitudinal beam 10. On their upper sides 78, the support brackets 70 for supporting the grating disks 42 are visible in each case. In this case, the receptacles 72 each extend on both sides into the central, downwardly offset region. On the lateral flat side 80 of the cross beam 20, a second thread plate (36) and/or a third thread plate (39) for mounting the first longitudinal element 30 and/or the second longitudinal element 32 and a fourth thread plate 59 for mounting the support element 50 are arranged.

The support element 50 has a fifth adapter plate 56 and/or a sixth adapter plate 58 for mounting on the longitudinal beam 10 or the transverse beam 20, respectively. A cover 74 is arranged on the upper side to support the robot.

Fig. 8 shows the cabin module 100 in a sectional view through the cross member 20, and fig. 9 shows a detail view in the region of the longitudinal axis 10, including the corresponding transition region of the cross member 20.

In the sectional view, the bearing bracket 70 according to fig. 7 can again be seen, as well as the receptacle 72. The bore 76 can be seen in the flat side 80 of the cross beam 20.

The connection of the transverse beam 20 to the longitudinal beam 10 is also shown on the basis of the second adapter plate 28 shown in section on the outside of the longitudinal beam 10 and the first thread plate 13 in the interior of the longitudinal beam 10.

The longitudinal beams 10 have support brackets 44 pointing laterally outward. It is usually designed as a flat plate, so that weight can be reduced.

The receiving element 52 can be seen in section, which is arranged on the support frame 44 and extends down along the longitudinal beam 10. Thereby, a high stability of the robot 60 (fig. 1) mounted on the receiving element 52 can be achieved despite the reduced weight of the support frame 44.

Fig. 9 also shows the connection of the support element 50 to the transverse beam 20 and to the longitudinal beam 10 via the sixth adapter plate 58. A bore 76 corresponding to the internal thread of the fourth thread plate 59 is provided on the sixth adapter plate 58 for screwing with the fourth thread plate 59.

Fig. 10 shows a partial view of a side view of the cabin module 100 looking at the longitudinal beam 10.

At the connection point 18 of the cross beam 20 to the longitudinal beam 10, a first opening 22 can be foreseen in the two opposite walls 11 of the longitudinal beam 10, which corresponds in particular to the inner dimension of the cross beam 20 at the connection point. Three such first openings 22 can be seen in fig. 10. The cross beam 20 is not visible because it is behind it.

The first opening 22 of the longitudinal beam 10 is intended for accommodating a tube 24 arranged inside (not visible) the longitudinal beam 10, which is connected to, in particular sealingly welded to, mutually opposite walls 11 of the longitudinal beam 10. The inner dimensions of the tube 24 correspond to the inner dimensions of the cross member 20. By means of the tube 24, the cables or also the paint lines can be guided in a protected manner from one side of the cabin module 100 to the other.

The components of the cabin module 100 according to an embodiment of the application stacked in the container 120 are exemplarily shown in fig. 11 in an isometric view, while the components of the cabin module 100 stacked in the container 120 are shown in a side view in fig. 12.

The longer box-shaped profiles 12 are stacked on the floor of the container 120, respectively, while the shorter box-shaped profiles 12 are stacked with them. The cross beams 20 are arranged side by side on support elements 50, which are stacked on the box profiles 12 on the floor. The grid tray 42 is located at the end of the container 120.

The components are secured for transport by posts 122 in the container 120. In this way, the components of the cabin module 100 can be transported from the manufacturer to the construction site in a particularly space-saving and safe manner. In particular, the components can be produced standardized at different locations, transported to the construction site of the process tunnel 200 and only installed on site as cabin modules of the process tunnel 200. Even in the most diverse places of use, the quality of the components and thus of the cabin module 100 can be as high as ever, since the quality control of the components can be achieved before transport and the stringers only have to be welded together in the desired length on site.

Fig. 13 to 15 show a variant of the cabin module 100 that can be easily installed in a container, in which, instead of the screw plate in the longitudinal beam 10, there are pipe connections 15 on the longitudinal beam 10, to which the transverse beam 20 can be connected. In particular, a screw-nut connection can be established.

Fig. 13 shows a plan view of the connection points of two transverse beams 20 to a longitudinal beam 10, on which the transverse beams 20 are screwed, on the end side, with their second adapter plates 28, to a first adapter plate 27 of a pipe connection 15 projecting laterally from the longitudinal beam 10. The first and second adapter plates 27, 28 have through holes through which screws can be inserted and screwed with nuts. Screws can be introduced from the side of the longitudinal beam 10 and nuts can be screwed onto the corresponding screw thread and tightened on the side of the second adapter plate 28 of the transverse beam 20. For this purpose, the pipe connection 15 has a suitable length of several centimeters, for example 12cm, which simplifies the handling when setting up the screw-nut connection.

Fig. 14 shows a bottom view of a detail of a cabin module 100, which includes three connection points of the transverse beam 20 to the longitudinal beam 10, on which the transverse beam 20 is screwed with its second adapter plate 28 on the end face side to a first adapter plate 27, which projects laterally beyond the pipe connection 15 of the longitudinal beam 10, and is supported on the pipe connection 15, which includes the reinforcement 23. Similarly, a reinforcement 29 is provided on the second adapter plate 28 of the transverse beam 20. By way of example, only some of the stiffeners 23, 29 are labeled. The number and strength of the stiffeners 23, 29 can be adapted to the load to be carried which is preset in the cabin module 100.

As can be seen in the drawing, one of the crossmembers 20 (lower in the drawing) likewise has a pipe connection 25, to which a first longitudinal element 30 is screwed on the end side on an adapter plate (not shown in detail).

Fig. 15 shows a bottom view of the cabin module 100 between the longitudinal beams 10 and the transverse beams 20, including the transverse elements 40 between the transverse beams and the first longitudinal elements 30.

In the disassembled state, the components of the cabin module 100 can be easily placed into a container and transported to the place of use where the cabin module 100 is assembled. When the installation is carried out on the construction site, advantageously only bolting has to be carried out in order to build the cabin module 100. Also advantageously, standardized construction is possible.

By means of the pipe connections 15, 25, it is possible to position and tighten the nuts of the screw-nut connection when mounting the cabin module 100, without further auxiliary tools. A useful size for the pipe connections 15, 25 is for example 10-12 cm. The larger spacing can cause interference when loading into a container. For a cabin module 100 of 12m length, the entire cabin module 100 can thus be stacked in a single standard container.
