EP2389487B1 - Modular container system - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a modular container system for creating adjacent and successive cuboid room cells for living or working.

Office containers of the type mentioned are used wherever solid, immobile facilities are considered unprofitable or uneconomical. Containers of the aforementioned type are particularly intended to be able to provide fast and flexible habitable space available, for example, for use as an office, hospital, operating room and the like. Usually such containers are cuboid, prefabricated space cells, which are assembled side by side and stacked on site to form a building.

A disadvantage of the known container systems is that they can not be changed and can only be adapted to changing room concepts with great difficulty. This requires a complicated provision of different types of containers, which causes long service lives. This is especially true for custom made containers. As a result, use of materials, capital commitment and warehouse space requirements are high. The transport of the containers is uneconomical, since rebuilt spaces must be transported, which require a lot of cargo and frequent trips. In addition, heavy cranes are needed for lifting, loading and depositing containers at the warehouse and on site.

US 2006/0048 459 A1 discloses a modular container system having all the features of the preambles of claims 1 and 4. CA 2163464 A1 discloses another modular system for creating space cells.

The object of the invention is therefore to propose a modular container system that allows cost-effective storage, easy transport, fast assembly / disassembly and flexible and variable assembly and disassembly.

This object is solved by the characterizing features of claims 1 and 4. This container system has many advantages. Thus, a complete room cell is assembled on site from the described individual elements. Previously, the individual elements can be stored and transported to save space, whereby the storage and transport costs are lower than in the known container systems. Another advantage is that a crane with a lower load capacity can be used during assembly, since the individual elements have a lower weight than a complete room cell. An additional advantage is that the individual elements only have to be plugged together in the construction of the container system by means of connectors. It is not necessary, for example, to screw the individual elements or connect in any other way. This results in a fast and cost-effective installation and disassembly.

A connector is formed from at least two connector parts, wherein at least one connector part is provided on each of the elements to be connected to each other. A connector part has a groove with at least one parallel thereto extending bung, so that in a plugged connector parts of connectors consisting of grooves and bounces engage positively with their contact surfaces. As a result, a simple but secure connector is possible without further fasteners are necessary.

The side wall elements are formed as a trapezoid with a lower base side and a parallel to this upper base side and two equal trapezoidal legs. Leg and lower base side each form an inner angle greater than 90 °, whereby the surface of the side wall elements tapers towards the lower floor or floor slab element and widened towards the upper cover. The connector parts for connection to the end wall elements run along the trapezoidal legs and have their inclination. The connector parts of the end wall elements for connection to the side wall elements have the same direction of inclination and can be connected to them. As a result, a component of the force, which is generated by the weight of the trapezoidal side wall element, acts in a horizontal direction, ie parallel to the base sides. As a result, the connector parts of the side wall elements and the end wall elements are connected to each other with force and pressed together. In each case a side wall element is firmly clamped between two end wall elements.

For each two space cells arranged side by side, a common, inner side wall element is provided as an inner wall. As a result, in contrast to conventional containers, a side wall is saved.

All end wall elements and the outer side wall elements of the container system, which are not inner walls, form the outer walls of the container system.

The inner sidewall elements have in an alternative connector with two bounces and a double groove disposed therebetween, so that in the connected state the two bungs of the two connector parts of two juxtaposed end wall elements engage together in the double groove and each one of the two bouncing of the inner side wall element in each case a groove of the connector part of an end wall element engages to connect two end wall elements and connect them to an inner side wall element

Advantageous Ausgestattungen are specified in the subclaims and are explained below.

The bottom, floor ceiling or roof elements are formed as, preferably rectangular plates, each having a top, a bottom and four side surfaces, wherein the connector parts are arranged for connection to the end wall elements in particular each on two opposite side surfaces and the longitudinal axes of the groove and Bung run parallel to the side surfaces. The underside of the floor elements lies in the assembled state of the container system directly on the floor surface and the top of the floor elements faces the floor ceiling or roof element. The roof elements form with their top the upper end of the container system. The floor slab elements form with their upper side the floor of an upper room cell and with their underside the ceiling of a lower room cell.

The end wall elements have an upper and a lower connector part. When building the container system, the end wall elements are plugged with the lower connector part on a floor or floor ceiling element and on the upper connector part a bullet or roof element is inserted.

For the bottom elements connector parts are provided with a groove and a bung, which are arranged on the top of the bottom elements, so have a bullet or roof element, so that the lower connector parts of the end wall elements can be plugged onto the top of the bottom element.

For the roof elements connector parts are provided with a groove and a bung, which are arranged on the underside of the roof elements, so have a floor or ceiling element so that the roof elements with its bottom on the upper connector parts of the end wall elements can be plugged.

For the floor slab elements connector parts are provided with a groove and a bung, which are arranged at the top of the floor slab elements, so that the lower connector parts of the end wall elements the top of the floor slab elements are pluggable. In addition, further connector parts with grooves and bounces are provided for the floor slab elements, which are arranged on the underside of the floor slab elements, so that the floor slab elements can be plugged with their underside on the upper connector parts of the end wall elements.

The side wall elements for the top floor have fastening elements for fastening the roof elements in the contact area of the roof elements.

The fasteners are designed as longitudinally extending thickening or longitudinal projection with a holding surface for the roof elements, so that in the installed state, the side wall elements exert by their weight with the support surface a force on the roof elements and secure them. This is made possible in that the side wall elements are not load-bearing, but are suspended or plugged into the end wall elements.

The outer side wall elements have a cover plate, which is preferably rectangular. Through the cover plate, the end wall elements are covered.

The floor, floor slab, end wall, side wall and roof elements have a seal, preferably a hard rubber layer, at the locations or areas where they may contact each other in the connected condition. As a result, the space cells are sealed against environmental influences, such as rain, moisture, outside temperatures and the like and protected.

Since the end wall panels are always exterior walls, they have doors and / or windows.

The inner or outer sidewall elements may have through openings or doors.

The individual components of the container system, such as floor elements, floor slab elements, end wall elements, side wall elements, Roof element, and the like consist of aluminum profiles, which form a frame. This ensures great stability with low weight. Likewise, the connector parts consist of aluminum profiles. On the frame veneers are arranged, the outer wall panels and roof surfaces of galvanized, weatherproof corrugated metal sheets and the inside wall, floor and ceiling panels are made of scratch and impact resistant plastic plates. The contact surfaces of the connector parts are to be provided with a sealing hard rubber layer to avoid weathering. The cavities of the components can be filled as required with heat, sound or fire insulating materials. By type and amount of filling the required weights of the components can be precisely adjusted. In the cavities, heaters, air conditioners, lighting, switches / controllers, etc. and channels for the supply lines, communication lines, roof drainage, etc. can be pre-installed.

The invention will be described by way of example with reference to a drawing, wherein further advantageous details are shown in the figures of the drawing.

Functionally identical parts are provided with the same reference numerals. In order to distinguish between functionally identical parts on different components, the reference numerals have partial indices.

The following FIGS. 1 to 15 show the container system in different setup states. In chronological order, the construction of a two-storey container system with a ground floor and an upper floor is shown in a side view, in a plan view and in a front view. For the sake of clarity, elements are shown partially "floating" above their plugged position. The arrows next to the "floating" elements indicate the direction in which the element is placed on another. In addition, some components or components that are hidden by other components, shown in phantom to give an idea of their position in the container system.

Since it is the first described FIGS. 1 to 4 is to side views, only a floor 1, 2 floors, and roof element 7 and only the inner side wall element 5 is shown.

FIG. 1 shows a side view of the container system with a bottom element 1, which forms a basis for the end wall elements 4 and the side wall element 5. The end wall elements 4 and the inner side wall element 5 are shown for clarity not in the plugged, but above an inserted position.

The bottom element 1 is a rectangular plate with a top 14, a bottom 15 and four side surfaces 16. With its underside 15, the bottom element 1 rests on a bottom surface 19. The top 14 forms a walkable floor. At the two opposite side surfaces 16 of the bottom element 1 connector parts 3 are attached. The connector parts 3 of the bottom element 1 and the end wall elements 4 consist of a groove 8 with a parallel thereto extending bung 9, so that when plugging both elements, a connector is formed from two connector parts, the grooves 8 and 9 catch positively engage with each other. In the end wall elements 4 are the lower Grooves 8 'and bungs 9' hidden and therefore shown in phantom. The grooves 8 and bumps 9 of the bottom element 1 are arranged on the upper side 14 of the bottom element 1. On these connector parts 3, the corresponding lower connector parts 3 'of the end wall elements 4 are attached. The lower connector parts 3 'have with their contact surfaces down, ie in the direction of the bottom element. 1

The inner side wall element 5 is formed as a trapezoidal plate with a lower base side 11 and an upper parallel to this side 12 and two equal length trapezoidal legs 13. Leg 13 and lower base side 11 each form an inner angle greater than 90 °, whereby the surface of the side wall element 5 tapers towards the bottom element 1 and widened towards the top. The upper base side 12 is thus longer than the lower base side 11. Along the two trapezoidal legs 13 are connector parts 103 (not shown, see FIG. 17 ) are arranged for connection to the end wall elements 4, wherein the trapezoidal connector parts 103 have the inclination of the trapezoidal legs 13. At the end wall elements 4 are matching connector parts 203 (see also FIG. 17 ), which have a corresponding direction of inclination. In this way, each of the connector parts 3 of side wall element 5 and end wall elements 4 are firmly connected.

Due to the trapezoidal shape of the inner side wall member 5 and the inclined connector 3 acts a component of the force generated by the weight of the trapezoidal side wall element 5 in the horizontal direction, ie parallel to the base sides 11, 12. Thereby, the connector parts 3 from the side wall element. 5 and the end wall elements 4 connected with force and pressed together. By this frictional connection, the side wall element 5 is firmly clamped between the two end wall elements 4. The in the FIG. 1 not shown outer side wall elements 6 also have the described trapezoidal shape.

The end wall elements 4 have upper connector parts 3 "each with a groove 8" and 9 "bung, the contact surfaces facing upward upper connector parts 3 "can either a bullet 2 or a roof element 7 (not shown) are inserted.

At the points or areas where the elements 1, 4, 5 come into contact with each other in the connected state, they are coated with a hard rubber seal. As a result, a seal against moisture, weather conditions and the like is guaranteed.

FIG. 2 shows a side view of the container system FIG. 1 with the bottom element 1 shown in dashed lines, two plugged end wall elements 4 and an inner side wall element 5, which is inserted between the two end wall elements 4. Above these elements further elements to be installed are shown, which hover above their intended position for illustration. These are a floor slab element 2, two further end wall elements 4 and a roof element 7 as top cover.

The floor slab element 2 is a rectangular plate with a top 14 ', a bottom 15' and four side surfaces 16 '. The base surfaces correspond to the base surfaces of the bottom element 1 and the roof element 7. By the bottom element 1, the two plugged end wall elements 4, the side wall element 5, the floor slab element 2 in the plugged state and another side wall element 5, not shown, a closed space cell is formed. The underside 15 'of the floor slab element 2 forms the ceiling. The top 14 'forms a walk-in floor for a legend, another room cell.

At the two opposite side surfaces 16 'of the floor slab element 2 a total of four connector parts 3a, 3b are attached. These connector parts 3a, 3b consist, as in the bottom element 1 and the end wall elements 4 of a groove 8 with a parallel thereto extending bung 9, so that when mating two elements, a connector of two connector parts 3 is formed, the grooves 8 and 9 bouts form-fitting manner to grab.

The end wall elements 4 are identical for all floors or floors.

In addition, two further opposing connector parts 3b are provided for the floor slab elements 2, which are arranged on the underside 15 'of the floor slab element 2, ie in the FIG. 2 have in the direction of the bottom element 1, so that the floor slab elements 2 with its bottom 15 'on the upper connector parts 3 "of the end wall elements 4 are pluggable.

Furthermore, a roof element 7 is shown that serves as an upper cover for the top floors. For the roof elements 7 also corresponding connector parts 3 are provided, which are arranged on the underside 15 "of the roof elements 7, ie in the FIG. 2 point in the direction of the floor slab element 2, so that the roof elements 7 with its bottom 15 "on the upper connector parts 3" of the end wall elements 4 are pluggable.

FIG. 3 shows all elements 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 from the FIG. 2 in mated condition. Above these elements is shown an uppermost inner sidewall member 105 which hovers above its intended position for illustrative purposes.

From the FIGS. 1 to 3 The following sequence results in the assembly of the individual elements to a two-storey container system: First, at least one bottom element 1 is placed with its bottom 15 on the ground surface. Then the end wall elements 4 are placed on the or the bottom elements 1. Between the end wall elements 4, the inner and (not shown) outer side wall elements 5, 6 for the first floor, so the ground floor, put. Thereafter, on the end wall elements 4 a or several floor ceiling elements 2 inserted. On the floor slab elements 2 then further end wall elements 4 are inserted. On the end wall elements 4 then at least one roof element 7 is inserted. Finally, between the end wall elements 4 further inner and outer side wall panels 105, 106 for the second floor, so the upper floor, plugged. These top side wall elements 105, 106 differ from the side wall elements 5, 6 used for other floors in that they have a thickening 17 in the contact area of the roof elements 7. The thickening 17 is arranged on the upper, longer base side 12 of the trapezoidal side wall elements 105, 106. In the inserted state, the side wall elements 105, 106 press by their weight with the thickening 17 on the roof elements 7 and thereby fix them.

FIG. 4 shows the finished assembled container systems with inserted topmost side wall element 105. Hidden parts of components are shown in dashed lines. The container system consists of a ground floor 110 and an upper floor 120. However, the container system according to the invention is not limited to these floors. In principle, any number of projectiles can be stacked on top of each other. A limitation arises only by the static load and the load-bearing capacity of the elements, in particular those of the end wall elements. 4

The loads of the structure are largely borne by the Stirnwandelelemente 4, while the side wall elements 5, 6 transmit only small forces.

The following FIGS. 5 to 9 show a plan view of the container system in various states of construction. In chronological order, the construction of a two-storey container system with a ground floor and an upper floor is shown.

FIG. 5 shows a plan view of three floor elements 1, which form the basis of the container system. A floor element 1 consists of a rectangular plate resting on a floor surface 19 (not shown).
