Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an access structure for modular buildings.
  • a modular building is a building which is manufactured as individual modules, which can be arranged in different ways to form the building, by means of a single module or several modules. Often these kinds of buildings are temporarily used for some weeks up to some years.
  • Modular buildings include many different buildings, from small site cabins to large multi storey buildings.
  • the modular buildings have to be complemented on site with an access structure, in particular for floors above ground floor, where people otherwise have no access.
  • the access structure includes some kind of base platform, outside the entrance door of the module, and, at least above ground floor, a stair.
  • Current access structures are often built of wood, which is not satisfactory. The problems are inter alia that the strength of the wooden structures is never calculated, and they are not fire-rated. Besides, they are time consuming to build.
  • an access structure for modular buildings wherein the access structure is self-contained and comprises a stackable framework module, which has an overall box shape in a mounting state.
  • the framework module comprises vertical and horizontal edge beams, top interconnection portions, for interconnection with another framework module stacked on top of the framework module, bottom interconnection portions, for interconnection with another framework module on top of which the framework module is stacked, an entrance stairway connection portion, a floor and a roof.
  • the framework module is positionable at a distance from the modular building, in order to facilitate access to the connections at the wall of the modular building.
  • the framework module has a front side and a rear side, and the roof comprises a sliding part, which is slidable between a position where it has been slided to protrude at the front side, thereby providing an opening through the roof letting a person pass and a position where it has been slided to protrude at the rear side.
  • the modular building has for instance wall connections for sanitary conduits at floor level, which are hereby given space for.
  • the slidable part of the roof adds a flexibility to the structure as regards the positioning of the structure relative to the modular building with a similar weather protection.
  • the access structure it comprises an additional floor part, which is arrangeable to cover the distance between the framework module and the modular building at floor level.
  • the edge beams comprise bottom beams defining a bottom frame, and floor beams defining a floor frame carrying the floor, wherein the floor frame is positioned a distance above the bottom frame.
  • the floor is levelled with the entrance door of the module, and room is created beneath the floor for providing fork lift pockets and connection possibilities for additional parts stairways and fence posts, which may be included in the access structure.
  • the edge beams comprise vertical corner beams defining four corners of the framework module, and top beams defining a top frame, wherein the corner beams comprise end protrusions, which protrude above the top frame, wherein the top interconnection portions comprise the end protrusions.
  • the framework module is collapsible and raisable between a collapsed state and a raised state.
  • This embodiment has the advantage of reduced storage and transporting volume.
  • the edge beams comprise corner posts defining four corners of the framework module, and top beams defining a top frame connected with the vertical corner beams at a top portion of corner posts, wherein each corner post is foldable.
  • each corner post comprises an upper portion and a lower portion, which are hingedly interconnected at a first hinge portion, wherein the upper portion is hingedly and displaceably connected with the top portion, which is fixedly connected with the top frame, and wherein the lower portion is hingedly interconnected with a fixed bottom portion of the corner post at a second hinge portion.
  • each top portion comprises a recess
  • each upper portion comprises a pin at an upper end of the upper portion, wherein the pin is arranged to be engaged with the recess when the framework module is in the raised state, and thereby to lock the interconnection between the upper portion and the top portion.
  • the framework module comprises a first sleeve, which is arranged at one of the corner posts, and which is movable along the corner post.
  • each of the corner posts is provided with a first sleeve, which, in the raised state, is arranged to be positioned at the first hinge portion and lock the first hinge portion.
  • the sleeve locks the upper and lower parts in the unfolded straight position and thereby prevents the corner post from folding.
  • each corner post is provided with a second sleeve, which is movable along the corner post, and which is arranged to lock the second hinge portion when the framework module is in the raised state. Consequently, the second sleeves serve a similar purpose for the second hinge portions as the first sleeves serve for the first hinge portions.
  • each one of the first hinge portions comprises a stiffening element, which is operable to stiffen the first hinge portion in the raised state.
  • the stiffening elements are an additional security detail.
  • the hinge portions are already secured by the sleeves to prevent them from folding. However, by additionally stiffening the hinge portions a second folding prevention is provided and additionally, the user perceives the structure as more rigid and safer since the minor play in the hinge portions when not stiffened is removed.
  • the access structure 1 it comprises a stackable framework module 2, which has an overall box shape in a mounting state, as shown for example in Fig. 1 .
  • the framework module 2 comprises vertical and horizontal edge beams 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, top interconnection portions 8, for interconnection with another framework module 75, also included in the access structure 1, as shown in Fig. 2 , stacked on top of the framework module 2, bottom interconnection portions 9, for interconnection with another framework module on top of which the framework module 2 is stacked, an entrance stairway connection portion 10, 70 a floor 11 and a roof 12.
  • the edge beams are e.g. made by square tubes, but any useful beam profile will do as recognized by the person skilled in the art.
  • edge beams constitute bottom beams 3, which define a bottom frame 13, and floor beams 4, which define a floor frame 14. More particularly, the bottom frame 13 and the floor frame 14 are two rectangles of edge beams, one on top of the other, with a distance between them.
  • the floor 11 is attached to the floor frame 14. The bottom frame 13 rests on the ground.
  • the roof 12 comprises a fixed part 16 extending from a front side 17 of the framework module 2 and towards a rear side 18 of the framework module 2, covering a fraction of the distance between the front side 17 and the rear side 18.
  • the front side 17 can also be defined as a vertical side plane defined by some of the edge beams
  • the rear side 18 can also be defined as a vertical side plane defined by the some other of the edge beams.
  • the fixed part 16 covers about half the depth of the framework module 2, i.e. the distance from between the front side 17 and the rear side 18.
  • the roof 12 comprises a sliding roof part 19, which is slidable between an open position, and a rearwards protruding position.
  • the sliding roof part 19 provides an opening extending across about a rear half of the depth of the framework module 2.
  • the opening provides for the passage of a person who is to fasten the framework module 2 at the modular building, as will be explained below, or do some other work requiring access to the top area of the framework module 2, the modular building, or another framework module 75 placed on top of the first one.
  • the sliding roof part 19 protrudes from the rear side 18.
  • the sliding roof part 19 has been pushed into abutment against the wall of the modular building in order to shield the entrance to the modular building from rain.
  • edge beams 3-7 comprise vertical corner beams 6 defining four corners of the framework module, and top beams 7 defining a top frame 21.
