DEPLOYMENT DEVICE

D E S C R I P C I O N

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a device provided with a main structure that allows the accommodation of a plurality of folding panels that make up the floor, walls and ceiling of a room. Advantageously, this device allows, without the need of additional elements or tools, the folding and unfolding of the folding panels that integrate it in a simple way.

The object of the invention is to offer a unit of temporary habitability with the ability to be transported in a simple way by means of a few plates that are arranged in the main structure, and that due to its dimensions in the folding position, makes possible the optimization of the units to transport.

Additionally, the deployable device offers many configurations and different utilities, being easy to assemble.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

It is known a wide variety of devices of this archetype, deployable and used as dwellings, such as employees for the staff of works and housing sales.

These devices have a standard structure and dimensions, being useful also for other applications such as portable houses and hospitals, or for the modeling of buildings, shopping centers or discotheques.

It is known in the state of the art the utility model number ES1138639 which discloses a deployable device that offers a system of collapsible panels that, deployed, form a module. However, the configuration of this device requires in its assembly the use of support elements to enable the deployment of the panels, involving a certain risk and the deployment being an operation of high demand and difficulty.

Thus, it is not known in the state of the art by the applicant of the present utility model any deployable device that allows the optimization of its transport, that generates a great variety of configurations starting from the same minimum unit and that presents a simple deployment, without the need to use additional means.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The device of the invention is characterized by having two positions or modes of operation, a folding position in which a main structure contains the hinged panels, and a deployed position in which the collapsed panels generate a room.

Thus, the deployable device of high transportability of the present invention is provided with a self-supporting main structure, preferably made of steel or other material with high rigidity, incorporating a perimeter closure with lacquered sheet metal. The main structure delimits a cavity where a plurality of collapsible panels will accumulate which will form the room when the device is deployed.

The main structure has a width less than or equal to 0.8 meters, in order to optimize the transportability conditions of up to 6 units of the device of the invention in a single trailer, thus optimizing the conditions of its movement and associated costs.

The folding panels are provided with rotation means to generate the rotation on one of its ends, enabling its folding down to its deployment position.

Additionally, the system of rotation or rotation that the folding panels have has blocking means in order to fix the desired inclination of the panels.

In this way, the panels in their deployed form fit together and make up the floor, walls and ceiling, generating the stay to live.

Likewise, the folding panels are integrated by a sandwich type material and are profiled with steel, aluminum or any other similar material, so that these panels offer the optimum thermal transmission coefficient to guarantee a pleasant environment stay, offering an optimal resistance for be able to transport it without causing any kind of damage.

Advantageously, the collapsible panels forming the floor are associated with the side walls, so that the floor in its unfolded form together with the unfolded side walls serve as a supporting surface for the collapsible panel forming the roof, delimiting the frame to receive the floor. the folding panels that make up the front walls.

It is for this reason that during the deployment of the folding panels it is not necessary to use reinforcements, tubes or any additional support for their assembly because the panels are deployed in such a way that they offer the necessary support surface to deploy and fit the rest of panels.

On the other hand, once the deployment of the panels has been completed, the joints between the collapsible panels are finished with rubber, neoprene or other similar closures, guaranteeing the thermal conditions of the generated stay, that is, preventing the Temperature of the exterior influences the temperature of the interior of the conformed room.

Therefore, the device of the invention offers a simple configuration to deploy and a high optimization in its portability due to the advantageous dimensions of its main structure where the folding panels are folded.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

As seen in Figure 1, the device in the folded position leaves only the main structure (1) in which the collapsible panels are contained.

Preferably, the device has been designed so that in its folded position its width does not exceed 0.8 m in width, the rest of measures being preferably 2.8 m high and 6 m deep. In this way, the device of the invention has the precise dimensions to be able to transport the largest number of devices in a single trailer or trailer.

Advantageously, the main structure (1) has metal plates (7) in the form of metal pieces of rectangular shape and of reduced thickness arranged externally to facilitate the movement and transport of the device in its folding position.

As shown in figures 2 and 3, the collapsible panels forming the floor (3) are associated with the side walls (4) and are the first to be unfolded.

Optionally, as shown in Figure 1, the device includes supports (2) on which the panels forming the floor (3) rest to prevent them from coming into direct contact with the ground.

As shown in Figure 3, the panels that form the floor (3) are attached to the folding panels that make up the side walls (4) by means of rotation, allowing the movement of the folding panels that make up the walls (4). When they are positioned with the desired inclination they are fixed using locking means for their fixing.

Figure 5 shows the deployment of the panels that make up the roof (5), which rest on the folding panels that make up the side walls (4), thus defining the frame where the folding panels that make up the back walls rest and frontals (6), as shown in figure 6.

Finally, as seen in Figure 5 and 6, the device of the invention includes a panel of smaller dimensions that forms the ramp (8) to facilitate access to the interior of the room generated.
