Description

field of invention

The invention relates to an individual module that can be used for a building kit. The invention also relates to a building kit for erecting a building and a building.

Background of the Invention

Container buildings are known from the prior art, which are used, for example, for residential and storage purposes, in particular for temporary use. Such container buildings have a comparatively high level of comfort, but the set-up and assembly work is quite high. Usually, the use of a crane is required to set up such container buildings.

From the WO 2007/033498 A1 a container is known which can be used for residential purposes. This is expandable to enlarge a living space. In the non-expanded state, the container is cuboid and has two large and two small peripheral sides. Hinged plates are provided on a respective large peripheral side. An outermost panel is a roof panel, which is the first to be folded up during assembly. A base plate is then folded out and then side plates. Disadvantages of this solution are the high outlay in terms of device technology and the inflexible installation.

Disclosure of Invention

In contrast, the invention is based on the object of creating an individual module that has a simple design in terms of device technology and with which buildings can be constructed in a simple manner. In addition, it is the object of the invention to create a building kit that has a simple design in terms of device technology and can easily be used to erect buildings. In addition, the object of the invention is to create a building that is easy to assemble.

The object with regard to the individual module is achieved according to the features of claim 1, with regard to the building kit according to the features of claim 7 and with regard to the building according to the features of claim 10.

Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims.

According to the invention, an individual module is provided for a building kit or for a building. The individual module has a base plate and one or at least one wall plate. The floor panel and wall panel are preferably connected to each other via a hinge connection. The wall panel is preferably rotatable or pivotable via the hinge connection relative to the base panel to an expanded, deployed position and to a transport position. In the deployed position, the wall panel may be angled and/or upright and/or perpendicular or substantially perpendicular with respect to the floor panel. In other words, the wall panel can be angled in such a way that it can form a building wall in its deployed position. In the transport position, the wall panel and the floor panel are preferably stacked on top of each other. In particular, the wall panel and the base panel can be arranged next to one another and/or parallel or essentially parallel and/or in a sandwich-like manner and/or adjacent to one another. In other words, in the transport position, the wall panel and the floor panel are arranged in such a way that the large sides of the panels face each other. More preferably, the individual module can have at least one connecting means, via which the base plate and/or the wall panel can be firmly, in particular releasably, connected to a base panel and/or to a wall panel of another individual module.

This solution has the advantage that such an individual module has an extremely simple design in terms of device technology. In addition, it can be easily transported because the base plate and wall plate can be stacked on top of each other and can therefore be arranged in an extremely compact manner. Furthermore, a very simple structure is made possible by simply rotating or pivoting the wall panel relative to the base panel. As explained in more detail below, a building can be easily assembled from the individual modules.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the base plate and/or the wall plate is/are rectangular in shape. This advantageously means that several individual modules can be easily assembled. As an alternative or in addition, the base plate and/or the wall plate is/are preferably designed to be essentially flat or planar. Substantially flat means that, for example, smaller recesses or corrugations can, of course, be present. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the base plate and/or the wall plate has/have four or respectively four peripheral edges. For example, several individual modules can be easily connected via the peripheral edges.

It is conceivable that a peripheral edge of the base panel and a peripheral edge of the wall panel extend parallel to one another and are adjacent to one another, at least in the use position are arranged and/or abut each other. As a result, in the use position, the base plate is then preferably laterally delimited by the wall plate and practically the entire or essentially the entire surface of the base plate can be used.

In other words, in the use position, the wall panel and the base panel can form an L-shape or be arranged in an L-shape.

More preferably, the wall panel and the floor panel can have the same dimensions. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that at least the peripheral edges of the base plate and the wall plate, which are arranged adjacent to one another and/or face one another in the use position, have the same length. The peripheral edges of the floor panel extending laterally therefrom may alternatively be of a different length than the peripheral edges of the wall panel extending laterally therefrom. For example, it is conceivable to provide a smaller floor panel and a larger wall panel in order to create, for example, a comparable tall building with a comparatively small floor area. If the wall panel and the floor panel are designed with the same geometry, this can be advantageous when erecting a building. For example, it is conceivable that individual modules, which are intended to form a U-shape together, are initially connected to one another via the floor panels during transport and then the wall panels can then simply be swung up. This is of course also possible if the wall panels are smaller in size than the floor panels.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the individual module has one or more connecting means. The/they can be designed in such a way that the base plate can be firmly connected to at least one further base plate/s of one or more further individual modules via the connecting means(s). In this case, the connection is preferably detachable. Connecting means are preferably provided in order to connect the base plate of the individual module to two or three further base plates of individual modules. Alternatively or additionally, the connecting means can be designed in such a way that the wall panel can be firmly connected to at least one further or further wall panel(s) of one or more further individual modules via the connecting means(s). In this case, the connection is preferably detachable. Connecting means are preferably provided in order to connect the wall panel of the individual module to two or three further wall panels of individual modules.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the or more connecting means can be formed and arranged in at least one free peripheral edge of the base plate, i.e. a peripheral edge that is not the peripheral edge adjacent to the wall panel—in the position of use. The connecting means can thus be integrated into the individual module in a space-saving manner. It would be conceivable to provide connecting means with two or three free peripheral edges. In a further embodiment of the invention, several or respectively several connecting means can be formed and/or incorporated and/or integrated in the free peripheral edge or in two or three free peripheral edges. For example, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the peripheral edge,—in the case of a peripheral edge with a plurality of connecting means—connecting means can be formed at each end and one connecting means can be formed in the middle. This enables a fixed connection at several points.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the connecting means or another connecting means can be formed and/or arranged and/or integrated in at least one free peripheral edge of the wall panel. A free peripheral edge is, for example, a peripheral edge that is not the peripheral edge—in the deployed position—adjacent to the base plate. More preferably, a connecting means or means is/are formed in two peripheral edges of the wall panel. In particular, the connecting means or means can be provided in one or two peripheral edges of the wall panel which extend upwards in the position of use. In this way, individual modules can be connected via their wall panels in a simple manner. It is conceivable to form a plurality of connecting means in the or in a respective upwardly extending peripheral edge. Seen in the longitudinal direction of this peripheral edge, connecting means can be formed at the end and one connecting means in the middle.

The connecting means is designed, for example, in such a way that the components to be connected can be clamped against one another via their edges. For example, the connecting means is a nut or turnbuckle nut, in particular a hexagonal turnbuckle nut, in particular according to Din 1479. This can be screwed to a suitable means of the plates, for example. The respective means is, for example, a threaded shank that is firmly embedded in the respective plate. Thus, for assembly, the threaded shanks of two plates to be assembled are coaxially opposed, with the nut between the two being screwed to them. When turning the nut, the threaded shanks approach each other or move away from each other, depending on the direction of rotation of the nut.

The articulated connection is preferably designed in such a way that in the operating position the wall panel is held independently in relation to the base plate in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner via the articulated connection. For example, a catch or snap-in mechanism is provided in the articulated connection, which is designed in such a way that, in the use position, the wall panel snaps into the use position relative to the base plate. Alternatively or additionally, it would be conceivable for the articulated connection to be designed in such a way that it can be locked and unlocked. For example, the articulated connection can be locked in the operating position, so that the wall panel is firmly fixed to the floor panel. If the wall panel is to be brought into the transport position, the articulated connection can be unlocked.

Preferably the articulation has two articulations spaced apart from each other. The articulated connection is preferably formed on an upper side of the floor panel and an inner side of the wall panel, as seen in the deployed position of the individual module. Thus, when used in an erected building, it is arranged in the interior and protected from external force or weather influences.

It is also conceivable that the articulated connection is designed in such a way that an angle of rotation, in particular a 90° angle of rotation, of the wall panel relative to the base panel is limited. The angle of rotation is preferably limited in such a way that the wall panel, starting from the base panel, can be rotated by a maximum of 90° relative to the base panel.

More preferably, the base plate can have a plurality of leveling feet on its underside, seen in the position of use of the individual module. As a result, the individual module can be adapted to an uneven surface, for example.

The wall panel can on its upper peripheral edge - seen in the position of use of the individual module - have one or more stop bodies. The wall panel can be supported on the base panel via this in the transport state. Thus, the wall panel and the base panel cannot lie directly on top of each other in the transport state, but rather be kept at a distance by the at least one stop body and possibly also by the joint. It is also conceivable to attach a roof, for example, to the stop body(s). A stop body is preferably U-shaped and engages over the wall panel with its legs. The wall panel can thus be arranged between the U-shaped stop body. Alternatively or additionally, the stop body can be designed in the form of a block and has a longitudinal groove. For example, the stop body can thus be a cylindrical block which has a U-shaped cross section. At least two stop bodies are preferably provided. The stop bodies each extend, for example, from a respective end side of the peripheral edge away from the latter in the direction in which the peripheral edge extends.

In order to further simplify handling, in particular in order to manage without the use of machines or tools, the floor panel and/or the wall panel can be made of plastic or fiber-reinforced plastic or carbon or carbon fibers or of a lightweight material completely or at least partially or at least in part Essentially be fully formed. Preferably, the wall panel and/or the floor panel is made of such a material and/or is designed with such dimensions that it can be carried and assembled by a single person or two people under normal technical conditions. The person is preferably an average fitter intended for such assembly work.

In a further embodiment of the invention it is conceivable that the insert module has an opening in its wall panel, in particular a window opening or door opening.

According to the invention, a building kit with a plurality of individual modules according to one or more of the preceding aspects is provided. In this case, the same individual modules are preferably provided. It would also be conceivable to provide a variety of individual modules that have aspects that differ from one another, such as one or more individual modules without an opening and one or more individual modules with an opening.

Such a building kit is extremely advantageous since a building can be erected with it in a simple and flexible manner in terms of device technology.

The building kit also preferably has at least one or more side panels. The side panel can be designed in such a way that it can be connected to the base panel and/or wall panel of at least one individual module or several individual modules, in particular in its position of use, via connection means, in particular its/their connection means. Thus, the side panel next to the wall plate form another wall of this individual module or these individual modules. Preferably, a plurality or plurality of side panels are provided. It is also conceivable that the side plates protrude upwards when the individual modules are in the position of use, in order to also form a wall for a roof, for example.

More preferably, the side plates are provided in different sizes and/or different shapes. The side panels are preferably planar or substantially planar.

The side plate(s) is/are preferably made from a lightweight material, in particular from a plastic or fiber-reinforced plastic or carbon or carbon fibers.

In a further embodiment of the building kit, two or more side panels are provided which are designed and can be arranged relative to one another in such a way that they form and delimit an opening, in particular a door opening. These side plates can preferably be arranged in one plane.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that a side panel has connecting means in order to connect it to one or more adjacent side panels.

A side membrane can be provided as an alternative or in addition to the at least one side plate. This can preferably be connected to an individual module or to a plurality of individual modules in such a way that it can form an additional wall.

The connection is made, for example, via the connection means of the individual module(s).

More preferably, the building kit has at least one roof module that is designed to cover at least one individual module or a plurality of assembled individual modules—in its/their position of use. The roof module can preferably be connected to a respective individual module via the stop body and/or via further connecting means and/or via connecting means of the individual module(s).

Preferably, a plurality or multiplicity of roof modules are provided, which are designed in such a way that, when put together, they result in an overall roof, in particular a rounded roof or saddle roof or pitched roof.

As an alternative or in addition to the roof module, at least one roof membrane can be provided, which is designed to cover at least one individual module or a plurality of assembled individual modules.

According to the invention, a building is provided with at least one pair of individual modules according to one or more of the aspects listed above. The floor panels of the individual modules can be firmly connected via the connection means or means, so that they lie in one plane and form a U-shape together with the wall panels in the particular fixed position of use. More preferably, at least one or more side plates are provided. This can limit the space spanned by the individual modules at least on one side as a wall. The side panel(s) can be connected to one or both of the individual modules.

Such a building is extremely easy to set up and can be used flexibly. More preferably, the building has one or more roof modules which form/form the roof of the individual modules assembled in a U-shape.

In a further embodiment of the building, a further pair or several further pairs are provided, whose individual modules together form a U-shape according to the aspect explained above. The pairs can be arranged in series and can be firmly connected via the connecting means(s) of the floor panels and/or the wall panels. This can be done such that the floor panels are coplanar and the wall panels are coplanar on either side and the pairs are arranged together in a U-shape. The assembled pairs are preferably covered with a plurality of roof modules and/or with the at least one roof membrane. Several side modules can be provided as walls on the outer end faces of the assembled pairs.

The building can preferably serve as a residential building or storage building, especially for temporary use. The building bridges the gap between a tent and a container. The comfort can largely correspond to that of a container, but the set-up and assembly effort is close to that of a tent. The modularity ensures that the room size can be adapted to the needs. The building can be used, for example, for military operations, for accommodation in disaster areas, for events or for medical care.

Disclosed is a single module for a building kit that includes a wall panel and a floor panel that are hingedly connected. The panels can be arranged in parallel or in an L-shape. The individual module has connecting means, via which it can be connected to other individual modules.

According to 1 an individual module 1 has a base plate 2 and a wall plate 4. These are connected via a hinge connection with two hinges 6, only one being provided with a reference number for the sake of simplicity. According to 1 an application position of the individual module 1 is shown, in which the wall panel 4 is arranged perpendicularly to the base panel 2 and these together form an L-shape. In a transport position, which is not shown, the wall panel 4 is rotated via the hinges 6 towards the base panel 2 and overlays it. At an upper peripheral edge 10 of the wall panel 4 - seen in the position of use - two stop body 12 are attached. For the sake of simplicity, only one stop body is provided with a reference number. The wall panel 4 can be supported on the base panel 2 via this in the transport state. Thus, the base plate 2 and the wall plate 4 are not in direct contact with one another in the transport state, but are kept at a distance by the stop body 12 and by the joints 6 .

The base plate 2 has three free peripheral edges 16 , 18 and 20 . The base plate 2 is connected to the wall panel 4 via the joints 6 via the further peripheral edge 22 . On the peripheral edges 16 and 20, which extend away from the peripheral edge 22--where the joints 6 are provided--three connecting means 24 are formed, with only one being provided with a reference number for the sake of simplicity. The base plate 2 can be connected to other base plates via this, which is explained in more detail below. On the further peripheral edge 18, which is provided between the peripheral edges 16 and 20 and points away from the peripheral edge 22, further connecting means 30 are formed. These also serve to connect the base plate 2 to another base plate.

In the position of use shown, the wall panel 4 has two peripheral edges 34 which extend upwards from below, only one peripheral edge being provided with a reference number for the sake of simplicity. The hinges 6 are provided at the lower peripheral edge 38 of the wall panel 4 . Three connecting means 40 are formed in each case in the peripheral edge 34, only one connecting means being provided with a reference number for the sake of simplicity. The wall panel 4 can be connected to other wall panels via the connecting means 40 . The connecting means 24, 30 and 40 are preferably of the same design in terms of device technology in a simple and cost-effective manner. It would be conceivable to design the connecting means as tensioning elements. Four leveling feet 46 are formed on an underside of the floor panel 2, two of which are shown.

According to 2 four individual modules 1 are shown. These are part of a building kit 48. For assembly, the individual modules 1 are in their position of use, ie unfolded in an L-shape. The individual modules 1 are then simply connected via the connecting means 24, 30 and 40, see 1 , connected with each other. This results in a building or at least part of a building according to 3 .

3 shows the assembled individual modules 1. Together they form a U-shape. Here are the floor panels 2, see 1 , connected and laterally from the wall panels 4, see 1 , limited. Of course, further individual modules 1 or pairs of individual modules 1 can be added in order to enlarge the building or part of the building. It is also conceivable, for example, to provide only two individual modules 1, which are designed in a U-shape, in order to form a correspondingly small building.

According to 4a a building 50 is shown. This is made up of three individual modules 1 according to 1 and a further individual module 52 is formed. In contrast to the individual module 1, the individual module 52 has an opening 54 in the form of a window opening. This is introduced into the wall panel 4 . The individual modules 1 and 52 are corresponding 3 connected in a U-shape. The building has at least one side panel 56 at the front on one side. This forms a side wall and delimits a door opening 64. At least one side panel is also provided on the other side in order to provide the building with a side wall. The upper edge of the side plate 56 is designed in such a way that it extends obliquely upwards, starting from the individual modules 1, 52. On the other side, the upper edges are designed accordingly. Roof modules 66 are then further arranged on the individual modules 1 , 52 . These form an upper side, which also extends obliquely upwards, starting from the individual modules 1, 52, corresponding to the upper edge of the side plates 60, 62 and the further side plates. Overall, the roof modules 66 form a pitched roof.

According to 4b a building 68 is shown, which in contrast to 4a Has roof modules 70 forming a gable roof.

In 4c a building 72 is shown, in contrast to 4a Has roof modules 74 that form a gable roof. Side panels of buildings 50, 68 and 72 of the 4a until 4c are then adapted to the corresponding roof modules in order to limit them at the front.
