Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a self-contained cabin.
  • cabins During major construction works, it is usual for cabins to be located on site to house temporary offices, lavatories and rest rooms for the construction workers. Typically, such cabins are readily portable and powered using diesel generators which are housed within the cabin itself. Such generators, however, tend to be noisy, pollute the environment with environmentally polluting exhaust fumes and require a fuel tank that requires a considerable quantity of fuel for the diesel engine that must be frequently topped up.
  • US 5,107,637 describes a cabin having solar-powered illumination and storage batteries for accumulating and storing electrical power during daylight hours to provide illumination inside the cabin. However, no means for self-heating the cabin is provided.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a cabin which overcomes or substantially mitigates the aforementioned disadvantages.
  • a self-contained cabin comprising an electricity producing means using a natural energy source; at least one battery connected to the electricity producing means for storing electrical power generated by the electricity producing means in order to supply electrical power on demand to devices within the cabin; and a control means powered by the battery or batteries and adapted, at any given time, to control recharging of any of the batteries by the electricity producing means; characterised in that a burner is provided for heating air via a heat exchanger arrangement for use within the cabin; and the control means also control operation of the burner and the heat exchanger arrangement.
  • a solar electricity producing means comprising at least one solar panel made up of a plurality of photovoltaic cells.
  • a wind electricity producing means is provided comprising at least one wind turbine connected to a dynamo.
  • the cabin is supplied with electrical energy via a natural energy source and with heat energy via the burner.
  • This is a highly efficient way of powering the cabin which contrasts favourably with conventional cabins of this type which use a diesel or petrol generator as a source of electricity which is used to power to electric elements to supply any heating required.
  • the solar panel or the wind turbine is located on the roof or sides of the cabin.
  • At least two batteries are provided and the control means determines which of the batteries will operate to power the control means and the devices and which, if any, is to be recharged.
  • the batteries are housed within an insulated compartment. This is in order to maintain their operating temperature close to the temperature at which they operate most efficiently.
  • the insulated compartment housing the batteries is supplied with heated air.
  • control unit controls operation of the heat exchanger arrangement and the firing up of the burner when required as determined by one or more thermostats.
  • the interior of the cabin is provided with a thermostat linked to the control unit to control a supply of heated air into the cabin from the heat exchanger arrangement to heat the interior of the cabin.
  • the burner comprises a gas burner.
  • a sensor is provided for detecting entry of a user into the cabin.
  • the sensor is linked to the control unit that, after detection of the entry of the use into the cabin, activates the devices into a stand-by mode ready for use.
  • the senor automatically activates an electric light within the cabin when a user thereof enters and deactivates the light when the cabin is vacated.
  • the embodiments of self-contained cabin described below are intended to be used as portable cabins for use on building sites and the like where lavatory facilities are not otherwise available.
  • the cabin may be free standing, as shown in the drawings, for transport via a flat-bed vehicle or adapted as a trailer and provided with its own wheels.
  • a cabin in accordance with the invention could be equipped as required, for example with additional bathing facilities such as a shower, or as an office, kitchen, living accommodation or otherwise, and may be made readily portable by being of a suitable size to be transported, via a truck or other vehicle, or designed to be permanently located, for example in the case of a lavatory cabin it could be readily adapted to be plumbed to a mains water supply and drains or sewer. Such arrangements will leave its electricity supply unaffected and self-contained in accordance with the invention.
  • a self-contained cabin in accordance with the invention is solar-powered.
  • the solar-powered cabin 1 shown in Figs. 1 to 3 comprises a main user compartment 2, which may split into several rooms, and a control compartment 3, in which is located apparatus for use in the operation of the cabin for the purpose for which it has been designed and which is accessible from the interior or exterior of one side of the cabin.
  • the cabin 1 is equipped as a lavatory and the main compartment is heated by warmed air and provided with a flushing lavatory 4, a urinal 5 that may be flushing, a wash basin 6 with hot and cold water taps, and a hot-air dryer 7.
  • the cabin 1 is intended to be a portable cabin so that it is also provided with a fresh water tank 8 and a waste water and sewer tank 9, both of which are located beneath the floor of the main compartment 2.
  • Electrical power for use in the operation of the cabin 1 is generated by a solar panel or panels 10, which each comprise a plurality of photovoltaic cells in a conventional manner.
  • the panels 10 may be located on the sides or the roof of the cabin 1 but are preferably located on a flat roof of the cabin 1 This location is not only the most efficient for capturing all available sunlight, as the roof of the cabin 1 is unlikely to be obscured by plant, vehicles or other constructions on a building site, but also means that the panels 10 are kept where they cannot be easily interfered with or damaged.
  • the cabin 1 is a typical rectangular, parallelepipedal box shape, the whole of the roof-area of the cabin 1 is available to accommodate the panels 10.
  • At least one battery 11 Within the control compartment 3 are located at least one battery 11.
  • the two batteries are conventional 'leisure' batteries, each producing 12V, it has been found that four conventional solar panels 10 located on the roof of the cabin are sufficient to charge one of the batteries by approximately one day's sunlight.
  • Each fully charged battery 11 will supply power for approximately five days of normal usage of a cabin 1 equipped as described above.
  • the batteries 11 power a control unit 13 which is located within the control compartment 3 and which controls the operation of all of electrical devices contained within the cabin 1 by controlling operation of the batteries 11.
  • the unit 13 is adapted to determine and to control, at any given time, which of the batteries 11 will operate to power the control unit and the electrical devices and which, if any, is to be recharged by the solar panels 10.
  • appropriate switching means (not shown) is provided to accomplish a smooth transition between the batteries 11.
  • a flame burner 14 powered by a fuel such as bottled gas or oil which is stored in a tank 15 located at the bottom of the control compartment 3.
  • the burner 14 can be selected so that its efficiency is such that the tank 15 rarely needs topping up and so that no environmentally damaging fumes are emitted. It will be appreciated, however, that any suitable fuel could be used.
  • the burner 14 forms part of a heat exchanger arrangement 16 whereby the burner 14 is used to heat air via the heat exchanger 16 for use within the cabin 1.
  • the heat exchanger arrangement 16 therefore includes pump/fan means for providing warmed air to various applications within the cabin 1 as determined by one or more thermostats.
  • the compartment 2 is provided with a thermostat 17 linked to the control unit 13, which is also used to control operation of the heat exchanger arrangement 16 and the firing up of the burner 14.
  • the heated air is supplied, when required to the hot-air dryer 7, which contains its own fan (not shown) for delivery of the air to the user.
  • the heated air is used to heat a supply of hot water, which is stored in a hot water tank 18 that is kept topped up from the fresh water tank 8.
  • the heated air is ducted through a jacket (not shown) that surrounds the tank 18.
  • the heated water is used to supply the hot water tap of the wash basin 6 and it and fresh water are supplied to the flushing systems for the lavatory 4 and the urinal 5 and to the water taps of the basin 6 by water pumps 18 powered by the batteries 11 under control of the control unit 13.
  • the heated air is supplied to the interior of the insulated compartment 12 containing the batteries 11 in order to keep them at a temperature wherein they operate with maximum efficiency. This is particularly important during cold weather.
  • an infra-red sensor 19 is located within the compartment 2 to detect when anyone enters.
  • the sensor 19 is linked to the control unit 13, which then activates the electrical devices such as the water pumps 18, dryer 7 into a stand-by mode ready for use.
  • the sensor 19 can also be used to activate automatically an electric light 20 within the compartment 2 and to deactivate it when the compartment 2 becomes vacant.
  • the cabin 1 could be provided with other electrically-powered devices that can be powered by the batteries 11, as appropriate for the cabin's use.
  • the electricity producing means comprises at least one wind turbine 22 connected to a dynamo 23.
  • the turbines can be located on the roof or sides of the cabin but the best location is on the roof of the cabin 21.
  • the dynamo is electrically connected to the batteries 11 and to the control means 13.
  • the cabin 21 is the same as the cabin 1 described with reference to Figs. 1 to 3 .
  • the present invention provides a self-contained cabin that overcomes the problems associated with conventional cabins of this type by being virtual silent, producing little or no fumes, and requiring little attention other than the topping up and emptying of the tanks 8 and 9, the fuel tank 15 requiring much less frequent attention.
  • the cabin 1 or 21 requires no diesel or petrol fuel.
