Description

SPACE SYSTEM

The invention relates to a room system with at least two room modules, wherein the room modules are connected to each other and form a room unit in the connected state.

Room systems of the generic type are known from practice. In this case, a room unit is regularly formed by a support structure and the support structure with an outer skin, for example, closed like a tent. Modular room systems are already known, which are composed of floor, wall and ceiling elements - element by element.

In the known room systems is disadvantageous that their installation is complex and therefore time-consuming. Due to the usually very complex systems trained technicians are required to form the respective room unit.

Especially in the field of trade fair construction, once-usable, custom-made room systems are known, which are regularly produced and constructed by carpenters. Such room systems are regularly used for a single event / fair and are built in the sense of room dividers, usually without special floor elements and without ceilings. For conferences, colloquia, seminars, etc., such room systems are not very suitable.

The present invention is therefore the object of a spatial system of the type mentioned in such a way and further, that it can be combined easily, quickly and easily to a single room unit, without the need expert technicians or even booth builders. A sufficient soundproofing should be guaranteed.

The above problem is solved by a room system with the features of claim 1. Thereafter, the generic room system is characterized in that each room module comprises a frame whose Frame legs form a parallelepiped and serve to accommodate identical or different surface and / or functional elements that define the limited space through the frame. According to the invention, it has been recognized that self-contained room units can be combined in an ideal manner by room modules, wherein each of the room modules comprises a frame effecting stability or statics. The frame legs form a cuboid with basically any dimensions, with the dimensions depend on whether the room modules for transport "outside the home" should be suitable or if they are used for assembly or completion, for example, within a trade fair hall and there more or less stationary are housed.

The frame of each room module specifies the outer dimensions of the room module, wherein the frame is used to accommodate different surface and / or functional elements. The surface / functional elements are arranged on the frame or between the frame legs and fixed there, so that the room unit forms an outwardly closed unit. Heights of 300 cm to 350 cm have proven themselves. A room module can weigh up to 5 tons.

With the room system according to the invention, a high degree of flexibility is created, namely that any number of room modules can be combined to form one room unit. In principle, it is conceivable that the room modules are combined on a common plane one behind the other or side by side. It is also conceivable that room modules are arranged one above the other, correspondingly form a higher room unit. Any combination of individual room modules are conceivable.

The surface elements can be defined according to their function. Floor elements, ceiling elements, wall elements and / or door elements can be provided as special surface elements. These are to be understood as meaning those "surfaces" which extend between the frame legs of the respective cuboid. The floor elements are regularly a very special function to namely on the one hand to convey a certain comfort and on the other hand to ensure comfort with simultaneous sound absorption. Thus, the floor elements may have a very special structure, for example, as the basis of a stiffening trapezoidal sheet metal. On the trapezoidal sheet metal or gypsum fiberboard can rest, as is customary in drywall. On it lies the actual floor covering, for example a carpet with a high abrasion level, a laminate or a durable plastic floor, as required. It is essential that the floor elements have a sufficiently good footfall sound insulation, resulting in a broader comfort. Between the floor coverings of adjoining room modules, a T-bar for the carpet impact can be provided. Corresponding veneers may be provided on the vertical butt joints of adjoining frame legs, so that a uniform spatial impression also arises from the inside.

To create a suitable for lectures room unit top cover elements are provided which have a sound-absorbing structure. The ceiling element extends between the upper side frame legs and may have stabilizing cross struts according to the dimensions. On the underside, the ceiling elements are equipped with a system ceiling forming plates, for example with so-called long field plates. These are regularly attached to a support structure. Any functional elements, for example with regard to the power supply or light or with respect to an air conditioning system or ventilation, can be provided between the frame legs delimiting the ceiling element. Upwards, the ceiling element may for example be covered by chipboard, which may be covered with a plastic skin as needed. In any case, is of very particular importance that the ceiling elements contribute significantly to the sound insulation and sound insulation, so that the combined to a room unit room modules due to the sealing ceiling elements are particularly suitable for lectures, even in noisy environment, such as in exhibition halls the case is. In the ceiling elements discussed above, supply shafts and / or supply channels can be provided between the frame legs, which can be interconnected between the individual room modules. In any case, the space between the frame-side frame legs can be ideally used on the one hand for insulation and on the other for the accommodation of functional units.

The wall elements may be simple wall panels, which extend in one or more parts between the frame legs of one side of the room module. Again, soundproofing measures can be provided. From the inside, corresponding wall elements can be used for hanging pictures, posters or as pin board, screen, with integrated flat screen, etc. The wall elements may be functional wall parts and / or glass windows and / or glass walls, for example, a floor-to-ceiling glazing, with or without privacy screens.

The wall elements may be self-contained or at least include visible windows. Any access / ventilation options by opening the wall elements are feasible.

It is also conceivable that the wall elements and / or the floor elements are equipped with preferably electric heating systems in order to create comfortable room temperatures, even in an otherwise cold or cool environment. The combination of wall and floor heating, also in combination with ceiling spotlights, is an advantage.

Individual heating elements of the room modules can be combined to form an entire heating system, preferably regulated by a room thermostat.

As a further surface elements or functional elements door elements may be provided which include a single or double-leaf entrance door. Since the room modules a relatively wide and stable frame, composed of individual frame legs include, and since the frame forming the floor elements is regularly on leveling feet, it is also advantageous if the door elements, outwardly, a staircase or a ramp connects, so the room system or the individual room modules effortlessly are walkable. The stairs or the ramp can be in an advantageous manner to the lower frame legs, outside, dock. In addition to a conventional screw, a clamping system can be provided for quick connection. The door elements can include not only a single or double-leaf entrance door, but also an emergency exit door, according to any legal requirements for large units of space.

As already stated above, the surface elements or functional elements are advantageously provided with heat-insulating and / or sound-insulating properties, so that here again the function of the room unit is favored for lecture purposes. With suitable ventilation and a proper heat / sound technical encapsulation of the room modules can be provided.

Supplying / disposing elements can be provided as special functional elements, for example for electricity, heating, air conditioning, water, etc. Thus, any functional elements can be provided between the frame legs, on the one hand with the function of a wall termination and on the other hand with an additional specific function, depending on Requirement. Thus, lighting could be provided on the inside of the wall / functional elements. It is also conceivable to provide an entire wall surface with a luminescent surface. When integrating diodes and RGB control, any color effects can be realized within the framework of the lighting.

In light of the above, it is clear that the room modules can have different tasks according to their equipment with surface / functional elements, these modules for example, input modules, backplane modules, emergency exit modules, intermediate modules and / or supply / connection modules. The entire room unit can be composed or combined by combination of these modules, wherein a room unit can be formed for example by an input module, possibly an emergency exit module, one or more intermediate modules and a rear wall module. When connected, the modules form the entire room unit.

Already before has been repeatedly stated that the individual room modules are connected to each other at their adjacent frame legs. Particularly suitable for the connection are the very stable corner areas, wherein a simple screw connection per corner area is possible, for example, with two screws. In the context of such an embodiment, two modules with a total of only eight screws in the corner areas can be connected to each other, which again results in a simple installation of the room system to create a room unit.

For a simple combination of the different room modules, it is advantageous if the room modules have special interfaces for power and / or climate and / or water at their edge areas. The functional connection can be made in the area of the ceiling elements, the wall elements or even the floor elements. It is essential that the corresponding lines, piping, etc. are not visible in the combined state of the room modules. The frame legs delimiting the space modules or holding the area elements are advantageously profiles which are rectangular in cross-section and which are screwed, riveted, clamped, nested or welded together in the corner areas. A corner combination on the edge angle or other corner connectors, preferably made of steel, is conceivable. In any case, the frame legs create a sufficient stability, especially for the transport of each room module.

Advantageously, the bottom side frame legs are equipped with height-adjustable feet, so that it is possible to a room unit to Combining room modules sufficiently level even on an uneven surface, so that a room unit with a flat base area is created. The adjustment of the feet is preferably carried out from outside the modules, and it is further conceivable to close the area between the lower frame legs and the ground with an apron or the like.

Furthermore, it is of very particular advantage if each of the room modules is the same size, namely an identical frame or cuboid for receiving the surface and / or functional elements has. Insofar as the room modules are mobile units, they are dimensioned in a further advantageous manner such that they fit on a truck or on the loading area of a low loader. An effortless transport is possible. The loading and unloading can be done by forklift. The same applies to the positioning at the installation site. There are now various possibilities for designing and developing the teaching of the present invention in an advantageous manner. For this purpose, on the one hand to the claims subordinate to claim 1 and on the other hand to refer to the following explanation of a preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawings. In conjunction with the explanation of the preferred embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawing, generally preferred embodiments and developments of the teaching are explained. In the drawing show

1 shows a schematic view of an exemplary embodiment of a room system according to the invention, combined from five room modules,

2 in a schematic view, seen from the other side, the room system of Fig. 1, Fig. 3 shows the subject matter of FIGS. 1 and 2 in a plan view,

4 is a schematic view of an input module,

5 is a schematic view of an intermediate module, 6 is a schematic view of an emergency exit module and

7 shows a schematic view of a rear wall module.

FIGS. 1 to 3 show a room system consisting of a total of five room modules 1, wherein the room modules 1 together form a room unit in the interior of the room modules 1.

FIG. 1 shows, in a schematic view, the interconnected room modules 1, an input module 2, two intermediate modules 3, an emergency exit module 4 and a rear wall module 5 being provided there. FIG. 1 shows that the input module 2 is equipped with a two-leaf entrance door 6. Right and left of the front door 6 surface elements 7 are provided which form a glazing. The lateral surface elements 8 are closed in the sense of wall elements. The two intermediate modules 3 are laterally also provided with closed surface elements 8.

After the intermediate modules 3, an emergency exit module 4 connects, which is equipped on both sides with an escape door 9 in the sense of an emergency exit. The door leaf may essentially consist of glass, for example, be designed as a metal frame with a glass filling.

The rear wall module 5 adjoins the emergency exit module 4, which may have rear-side closed surface elements 8 or a glazing corresponding to the surface elements 7.

FIG. 1 further shows that the individual room modules 1 are equipped with ceiling elements 10, so that a closed room unit is formed. Figure 1 also shows clearly that the room modules 1 are each formed by a frame, namely by frame legs 1 1, which form a respective space module 1 bounding frame. Figure 2 shows the room system of Figure 1 from the other side, where it is seen that the emergency exit module 4 also on the opposite side has an escape door 9, namely a total of two escape doors 9 is equipped. Figure 3 shows the room system of Figures 1 and 2 in a plan view, where the two-leaf entrance door 6 and the left-side escape door 9 are opened. From above the room system, the ceiling elements 10 can be seen, which complete the room unit upwards. FIGS. 4 to 7 show the individual modules, namely FIG. 4 the input module 2, FIG. 5 the intermediate module 3, FIG. 6 the emergency exit module 4 and FIG. 7 the rear wall module 5.

Specifically, Figure 4 clearly shows that the input module 2 is equipped with a two-leaf entrance door 6 and with front surface elements 7 as glazing. The lateral surface elements 8 are designed as closed wall elements. On the rear side, the input module 2 is open, namely for direct coupling to an intermediate module 3, as shown in FIG. According to the illustration in FIG. 5, the intermediate module 3 is likewise provided with a frame formed from frame legs 11 and is open at the front and at the back, namely for integration into the room system or for creating a room unit together with the other modules. Laterally closed surface elements 8 are provided there to form an opaque wall.

Figure 5 also shows the equipment of the module with a bottom element 12, as provided in all modules. Figure 6 shows a module also open on both sides, namely an emergency exit module 4, with escape doors on both sides 9. The emergency exit module is formed by frame legs 1 1 or by a cuboid frame to which all surface and / or functional elements are attached.

FIG. 7 shows an end-side rear wall module 5, the rear wall being equipped with surface elements 7 in the sense of a glazing or with surface elements 8 in the sense of a closed wall. Again, the bottom element 12 can be seen.

Figures 1 and 2 also show the provision of height-adjustable feet 13, which serve for leveling.

Furthermore, it should be noted that all the modules - input module 2, intermediate module 3, emergency exit module 4 and rear wall module 5 - are formed from identical spaces or cuboids, namely from frames of the same size, so that a uniform transport, for example on the back of a flatbed trailer, possible is. In more or less stationary use, namely when used inside a hall, without the need for remote transport, the space modules can be made much larger, on top of that, can have a different size. It is also conceivable that special ceiling modules are provided, which create more room height of the combined room unit. With regard to further advantageous embodiments of the room system according to the invention, reference is made to avoid repetition to the general part of the specification and to the claims.

Finally, it should be expressly pointed out that the above-described exemplary embodiment of the room system according to the invention serves merely to discuss the claimed teaching, but does not limit it to the exemplary embodiment. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
