Description

SYSTEM AND METHOD OF TRANSFER OF THE FOUNDATION - SYSTEM OCH FÖRFARANDE FÖR FÖRFLYTTANDE AV EN GRUND

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a system and method for moving a foundation as set out in the preambles of the independent claims set out below, and to a movable foundation and a movable building.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

It is known to prefabricate or nearly complete a mobile building with a foundation in a factory, indoors. At the factory, the building is lifted onto a transport platform, such as a trailer, and moved to its location, for example, by truck. There, the building is lowered from the transport platform to its location. The building often has to be placed very precisely in a certain place. Lifting, relocating, and accurately placing a large and heavy object, such as 15 basic houses, in its location is a precise and demanding job. Even small mistakes can cause great damage.

In the building used today, the so-called foundation building. In the 20 three-point lifting method, the building is lifted from inside the building by three hydraulic jacks passing through the foundation. This method is cumbersome because the locations of the jacks and their placement must be taken into account when designing the building. The building cannot be completed until at least part of the floor and its joints must be left unfinished for the jacks. The jacks are taken inside the building in 25 lifting stages, where there is a special risk of damage to and contamination of the interior of the building. For example, if the hydraulic hoses accidentally come loose, oil can spray into the interior of a newly completed building and completely contaminate it. The jacks weigh a lot, their installation is unergonomic and even dangerous for installers in the event of damage. The known method requires a fairly advanced machining of the counterparts required in the lifting cylinder 30, i.e. several separately machined parts are required, which can be expensive to manufacture.

20185248 prh 15 -03- 2018

If the mobile building is multi-modular, ie consists of several parts to be fastened together on site, potentially harmful protrusions such as pipes, sockets, etc. must be removed from the joints when lifting and lowering, as lifting and lowering take place vertically, ie parallel to the lifting cylinder and 5 joints. For example, if water or electrical cables that extend slightly beyond the connection point have not been disconnected before the building is lifted or lowered, they will break. The current lifting method requires great precision, as the modules need to be brought very close to each other and in the right place with respect to each other. There is not always room for lateral adjustment. There is also a risk that the modules will be positioned at slightly different levels, for example if the point of attachment of the jack has moved to the wrong position in the casting of the foundation.

OBJECTIVES OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the present invention to reduce or even eliminate the above-mentioned problems in the prior art.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a system for moving a foundation which allows the foundation to be stably raised, lowered and moved and is easy to use, safe and secure.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method for moving a foundation which is faster, easier, more reliable, safer and less expensive than previous methods.

It is also an object of the present invention to provide a movable foundation and a movable building that is easy to quickly raise, lower and move.

The above disadvantages can be reduced or even completely eliminated, and the objects defined above are achieved by the present invention, which is characterized by what is defined in the characterizing parts of the independent claims set out below. Some embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims below.

20185248 prh 15 -03- 2018

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The system for transferring a foundation according to the invention comprises:

- a counterpart of the at least one elongate lifting member arranged on the foundation, having an elongate lifting member space arranged inside the foundation;

- at least one lifting device comprising

- at least one elongate lifting member arranged away from the lifting device, which is at least partially adjustable in the space of the lifting member;

- a lifting cylinder device supported on the base, operatively connected to the lifting member, for moving the lifting member and the foundation resting on it vertically by means of the lifting cylinder device.

The system according to the invention is characterized in that the counterpart of the lifting member comprises an opening arranged in the outer edge of the foundation, through which the elongate lifting member can be placed from outside the foundation at least partially in the space of the lifting member.

In this application, foundation means the part of a building facing the ground that forms the foundation of the building. The foundation structures can be 20 load-bearing structures at least below the level of the lowest subfloor of the building.

The foundation may be made of concrete or other material to which the system can be attached. The foundation can be, for example, wood, concrete or steel. The foundation can also be, for example, a concrete slab. The system is suitable for moving an entire foundation building or part of a building 25. The foundation usually comprises a lower surface facing the ground or supporting structures, an upper surface facing the floor and wall structures of the building and outwardly facing outer edges.

For the purposes of this application, a building refers to single or multi-module houses or 30 other buildings, space solutions or space elements, such as kindergartens, schools, nursing homes, service and support housing, health centers, business and office premises, production facilities, changing and maintenance facilities, warehouses and technical facilities. The above mentioned buildings can be completely spot built in quality and to their requirements

20185248 prh 15 -03- 2018 or they can also be evasive premises for short-term rent. The building may comprise a fixed foundation.

A substantially stationary elongate counterpart of the lifting member 5 is arranged on the movable foundation. The counterpiece of the lifting member is preferably arranged on the foundation so that it is substantially horizontal. The counterpart of the lifting member can be fastened to the foundation, for example by fastening means or by casting. As fastening means, for example, screws, fastening loops and / or fastening irons can be used. Preferably, the counterpart of the lifting member is molded into the foundation 10 during the manufacturing step of the foundation. The counterpart of the lifting member comprises an elongate space arranged inside it. The counterpart of the lifting member has an opening through which the lifting member can be placed at least partially in the elongate state of the counterpart of the lifting member. The mating member of the lifting member is arranged in the foundation so that its opening is at the outer edge of the foundation. In this case, the lifting member can be placed on the counterpart of the lifting member in the foundation 15 from outside the foundation.

The counterpart of the lifting member may be, for example, a hollow tubular structure. The counterpart of the lifting member can be made of steel, for example. The counterpiece of the lifting member may comprise, for example, two rectangular tubular beams 20 fastened to each other by means of two steel plates. The first steel plate is attached to the upper surface of the tubular beams and the second steel plate is attached between the tubular beams, preferably to the lower edge. The second steel plate can also be attached to the lower surface of the pipe beams. The steel plates are attached to the pipe beams, for example by welding. The thickness of the steel plate can be, for example, 14-18 mm, preferably 16 mm. The pipe beam 25 may have a length of, for example, 700-1300 mm, preferably 1000 mm. The height of the pipe beam can be, for example, between 140-180 mm and the width can be, for example, between 60-100 mm. The wall thickness of the pipe beam can be, for example, 3-6 mm.

Counter pieces of the lifting member can be arranged on the foundation, for example 1-6 30 pieces. Preferably, so many counterparts of the lifting member are arranged in the foundation that the foundation can be moved evenly. For example, at least one counterpart of a lifting member on at least three sides, i.e. three

20185248 prh 15 -03- 2018 lifting element counterpart per module. The counter-pieces of the lifting member can then be arranged, for example, so that two counter-pieces are on the short sides and one counter-piece is on the long side. This allows for a smooth module transfer. In multi-module buildings, for example, at least six counterparts of the lifting member per module can be arranged in the foundations. These can be positioned, for example, so that each long side of the foundation has one mating member and the two short sides have two mating members. This allows modules to be moved from different directions, which is important in multi-module locations, among other things.

The lifting device comprises at least one elongate lifting member and a lifting cylinder supported on the base, which is operatively connected to the lifting member. The purpose of the lifting cylinder is to move the lifting member vertically.

The lifting member can be, for example, a lifting fork. The lifting fork can be made, for example, of two elongate, reinforced l-beams, on which a surface plate is welded and under which a base plate is welded. The surface plate may be, for example, 610 mm thick, preferably the surface plate is 8 mm thick. The thickness of the base plate may be, for example, 20-30 mm, preferably the thickness of the base plate is 25 mm. The surface and base plate 20 may be made of metal, preferably steel. A round hole can be led from the surface plate to the center of the base plate to which a round fastening sleeve can be attached. The fastening sleeve is attached to the base plate, for example by welding. The height of the fastening sleeve can be, for example, 230-270 mm, preferably the height of the fastening sleeve is 250 mm.

The lifting cylinder can be, for example, a hydraulic cylinder or an air cylinder. The lifting cylinder is preferably double-acting, so that it is able to produce movement in two directions, for example by lengthening and shortening the cylinder. The lifting cylinder is operatively connected to an elongate lifting member. The lifting cylinder can be mounted on a fastening sleeve attached to the lifting member. The lifting cylinder can be attached to the fastening sleeve, for example with a quick release. The quick release comprises two halves of the locking sleeve which can be placed opposite each other around the lifting cylinder. A locking ring can be placed on top of the locking sleeves, which locks the locking sleeve

20185248 prh 15 -03- 2018 halves in place. In this case, the lower part of the lifting cylinder may be slightly below the lower surface of the base plate of the lifting fork, whereby the lifting cylinder is stronger than if it were to end in the same plane as the lower surface of the base plate. The lifting cylinder is typically placed between the lifting fork beams. The lifting cylinder causes the upward and downward movement of the 5 elongate lifting members. In this case, when the lifting member is placed on the base of the lifting member of the base, the lifting device can be used to lift the entire foundation. The lifting cylinder can be supported on the base, for example by means of a stationary support. For example, a hollow steel ring can be used as a fixed support.

Thus, it has now been found that the lifting and lowering of a foundation, such as a concrete foundation, and the lateral displacement of the foundation required in connection therewith can be done by performing lifting and lowering operations, i.e., sticking from outside the foundation. The invention makes it possible, for example, to make a movable foundation building or a part of a building, i.e. a module, more complete, because the risks of breaking the edges of the building, the joints between the modules, the walls between the modules and the connecting parts are reduced. In addition, the work ergonomics of installers will be improved. By means of the invention, the foundation to be moved, and thus the entire building, is precisely placed in place, and it is not necessary to bring it to its final location exactly on its transport platform, such as a truck.

Lifting points located outside the foundation do not restrict the design of the building as much as lifting points arranged through the foundation and inside the building or foundation. Lifting devices located outside can be positioned using aids such as a forklift or skid steer loader, which is more ergonomic than installing them manually inside a building. There is no risk of the building becoming dirty from the inside. Lifting device parts can be inexpensive standard products.

In a system according to an embodiment of the invention, the counterpart of the lifting member 30 is molded into the foundation. The foundation can be made by pouring concrete, for example. In this case, the counterpiece of the lifting member is placed in the mold of the foundation during casting so that its opening comes to the outer edge of the finished foundation. Once the counterpart of the lifting member has been attached to the foundation by casting,

20185248 prh 15 -03- 2018 it will not be able to move during the transfer and will help ensure a stable transfer of the foundation.

In a system according to an embodiment of the invention, the lifting member and the counterpart of the lifting member are at least substantially horizontal. Horizontally positioned elongate lifting member and lifting member mating member improve smooth displacement of the foundation.

In a system according to an embodiment of the invention, the lifting device comprises a sliding device arranged between the lifting cylinder and the base, supported substantially immovably on the lifting cylinder and arranged to be movable relative to the base. The slider can be supported on the lifting cylinder by means of fastening means, for example, a hollow steel ring. The slider allows the lifting device and the foundation to be lifted by the lifting device to move horizontally with respect to the platform.

In a system according to an embodiment of the invention, the lifting device comprises an essentially immovable support relative to the base, on which the sliding device is arranged to slide. The fixed support can be placed directly against the platform. The substantially stationary support may be, for example, a plate which forms a flat base for the slider.

In a system according to an embodiment of the invention, the sliding device is a sliding plate arranged to be movable relative to the base. The lifting cylinder can be detachably attached to the sliding plate or fixedly by means of fastening means fixed to the sliding plate, for example, a hollow steel ring. Preferably, the sliding plate comprises superimposed first and second plates. The first and second plates can be fastened to each other, for example with screws. The first plate can be made of a plastic with good sliding properties and high abrasion resistance, such as polyamide, especially nylon. The second plate can be made of, for example, steel. The discs are stacked so that the first disc is below the second disc. The thickness of the first plate may be, for example, 25-35 mm, preferably 30 mm. The length of the first plate may be, for example, 250-350 mm, preferably 300 mm and the width may be, for example, 250-350 mm, preferably 300 mm. The thickness of the second plate may be

20185248 prh 15 -03- 2018 for example 13-17 mm, preferably 15 mm. The second plate may be substantially the same size as the first plate, covering substantially the entire surface of the first plate.

A push and pull edge can be attached to the upper surface of the sliding plate so that the edge is attached close to the outer edge of the second plate of the sliding plate. The push and pull edge can be attached to at least one, preferably three, edges of the sliding plate. The pushing pull edge can be attached to the sliding plate, for example by welding. The height of the push and pull edge can be, for example, 30-40 mm, preferably 35 mm. The purpose of the push10 and the pull edge is to act as a gripping piece when moving the lifting device horizontally with respect to the base. In addition, fastening means for attaching the lifting cylinder to the sliding plate can be attached to the center of the sliding plate, to its upper surface. The fastening means can be, for example, a hollow steel ring, inside which the lower end of the lifting cylinder can be detachably or fixedly fastened. The hollow steel ring 15 can be attached to another plate of the sliding plate, for example by welding. The diameter of the hollow steel ring may be, for example, 80-120 mm, preferably 100 mm. The height of the steel ring may be, for example, 15-25 mm, preferably 20 mm. The hollow steel ring supports the lifting cylinder of the main stationary sliding plate.

In a system according to an embodiment of the invention, the support stationary with respect to the base is a support plate arranged between the sliding plate and the base. The support plate can be made of a particularly durable material, such as wear-resistant steel. Preferably, the support plate is a Hardox® wear plate. The length of the support plate can be, for example, 750-850 mm, preferably 800 mm. The width of the support plate may be, for example, 750-850 mm, preferably 800 mm. The support plate can be, for example, 13-19 mm thick. Preferably, the thickness of the support plate is 16 mm. The support plate may comprise a stainless steel plate attached to its upper surface. A plate made of stainless steel can be attached to the support plate, for example by welding. The length of the plate may be, for example, between 450 and 550 mm, preferably the length of the plate is 500 to 30 mm. The width of the plate may be, for example, between 450 and 550 mm, preferably the length of the plate is 500 mm. The thickness of the plate can be, for example, 3-7 mm, preferably 5 mm. The stainless steel plate is preferably attached to the center of the support plate. The lower surface of the sliding plate attached to the lower end of the lifting cylinder can be set

20185248 prh 15 -03- 2018 against the upper surface of a stainless steel plate welded to the support plate, in the middle thereof. In this way, stainless steel and plastic with good sliding properties can act together as a sliding surface and the sliding plate can be slid on the support plate.

Two retaining edges may be attached to the support plate such that the first retaining edge is secured near the outer edge of the support plate and the second retaining edge is secured inwardly from the edge of the support plate, spaced from the first retaining edge. The fastening edges can be fastened to at least one, preferably three, edges of the support plate. The mounting edges can be attached to the support plate 10, for example by welding. A gap of, for example, 50 mm can be left between the first and second fastening edges. The height of the fastening edges can be, for example, 30-40 mm, preferably 35 mm. The mounting edges make it easier to move the lifting cylinder horizontally relative to the base. Carrying handles can be welded to the first mounting edge to facilitate movement of the support plate.

In a system according to an embodiment of the invention, the lifting device comprises at least one transfer cylinder, which can be arranged between the stationary support and the lifting cylinder, for moving the lifting cylinder and thus the foundation horizontally with respect to the base. The transfer cylinder may be arranged between the stationary support and the lifting cylinder 20 substantially horizontally with respect to the base. The transfer cylinder can be, for example, a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder comprising a cylinder, a piston and a piston rod. The transfer cylinder is preferably double-acting, so that it can produce movement in two directions, for example by lengthening and shortening the cylinder. The stroke length of the transfer cylinder can be between 150 and 250 mm, preferably 200 mm. 25 A locking piece can be welded to the lower surface of the front of the transfer cylinder, which fits between the mounting edges attached to the support plate. The locking piece keeps the transfer cylinder in place relative to the support plate during use. The transfer cylinder can be fastened to the support plate by means of a locking piece on at least one, preferably three different sides of the support plate. A support can be attached to the rear of the transfer cylinder to keep the cylinder horizontal. 30 The support can be made of steel, for example. The support can be attached to the cylinder, for example by welding. A push and pull frame can be attached to the end of the piston rod of the transfer cylinder, which allows the transfer cylinder to engage the sliding plate.

20185248 prh 15 -03- 2018 to the pushing and pulling edge fixed to the upper surface and thus the movement of the lifting cylinder by means of the transfer cylinder.

In a system according to an embodiment of the invention, the system comprises at least two elongate counterparts of the lifting member and at least two lifting devices for supporting and moving the movable foundation simultaneously from at least two points. One lifting device is provided for each counterpart of the lifting member. The counter-members and the lifting devices of the lifting member can be arranged on the same side of the foundation or on different sides. The placement of the abutments and lifting devices of the lifting member 10 depends on the size and shape of the base to be moved. By placing several counterparts of the lifting member on the movable foundation and lifting the foundation from several different points by means of the lifting device, the foundation can be moved evenly and safely.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

For some of the corresponding parts, the same reference numerals are used in different figures and embodiments for clarity.

Figure 1 shows a vertical cross-section of a system according to an embodiment of the invention. The system 101 comprises a substantially horizontal elongate lifting member counterpart 103 cast into the concrete foundation 102, having an elongate lifting member space 304 arranged within the foundation 102. The lifting member counterpart 103 has an opening 105 provided at the outer edge of the foundation 102. The system 101 further comprises a lifting device 106 comprising an elongate lifting member 107. The lifting member 107 is substantially horizontal and can be at least partially positioned by the lifting member.

20185248 prh 15 -03- 2018 to the lifting member space 104 provided in the mating member 103 through the opening 105 in the lifting member mating member 103. The opening 105 in the outer edge of the base 102 of the lifting member 102 allows the lifting member 107 to be inserted into the lifting member counterpart 103 from outside the base 102. The lifting device 106 further comprises a lifting cylinder 108 attached to a fastening sleeve 109 attached to the lifting member 107 by two locking sleeve halves 110, 110 '. The halves 110, 110 'of the locking sleeve are positioned opposite the lifting cylinder 108. A locking ring 111 is placed on the halves 110, 110 'of the locking sleeve. The lifting cylinder 108 moves the lifting member 107 and thus the base 10 102 resting on it vertically.

The lifting cylinder 108 is fixed at its lower end to a sliding plate arranged to be movable relative to the base 112 by means of a hollow steel ring 113. The sliding plate comprises a first plate 114 and a second plate 115 fastened to one another. The plates 15 are superimposed so that the first plate 114 is below and the second plate 115 is on. The first plate 114 is made of, for example, a plastic with good sliding properties, such as nylon. The second plate 115 is made of, for example, durable steel. A pushing and pulling edge 116 is attached to the upper surface of the second plate 115 of the sliding plate, to its three edges. The pushing and pulling edge 116 acts as a gripping piece 20 when the lifting cylinder 108 is moved horizontally with respect to the base 112.

The lifting device 106 also comprises a support plate 117 which is substantially immovable with respect to the base 112, with respect to which the sliding plate 114, 115 is arranged to slide. The support plate 25 117 is placed directly on the base 112. The support plate 117 thus forms a flat base for the sliding plate 114, 115. The support plate 117 is made of, for example, wear-resistant steel. Attached to the surface of the support plate 117, substantially in the center thereof, is a stainless steel plate 118. Also attached to the surface of the support plate 117 is a first 119 and a second mounting bracket 120. A first mounting bracket 119 is attached near the outer edge of the support plate 117 and a second mounting bracket 120 is mounted from the mounting bracket 119. The mounting brackets 119, 120 are attached to at least the support plate

20185248 prh 15 -03- 2018

117 to three edges. The mounting edges 119, 120 facilitate the horizontal movement of the lifting cylinder 108 relative to the base 112 on the surface of the support plate 117.

The lifting device 106 further comprises a transfer cylinder 121. The purpose of the transfer cylinder 121 is to move the lifting cylinder 108 horizontally forwards and backwards relative to the base 112 so that the sliding plate 114, 115 of the lifting cylinder 108 slides along the surface of the support plate 117. Attached to the lower surface of the front portion of the transfer cylinder 121 is a locking piece 122 which fits between the first 119 and second mounting edges 120 attached to the support plate 117. By means of the locking piece 122, the transfer cylinder 121 remains in place relative to the support plate 117 10 during operation. Attached to the rear of the transfer cylinder 121 is a support 123 for holding the transfer cylinder 121 horizontally. Attached to the end of the piston rod of the transfer cylinder 121 is a push and pull frame 124 which allows the transfer cylinder 121 to adhere to a push and pull edge 116 attached to the surface of the second plate 115 of the sliding plate.

The base 102 is moved by bringing the required number, for example two or three lifting devices 106, next to the base 102 to be lifted and the elongate lifting members 107 are each pushed into their respective counterpart 103 through an opening 105 in the outer edge of the base 102. The hydraulic hoses of all lifting cylinders 20 108 are attached to the machine (not shown) on which the lifting is performed.

Preferably, the switches for operating all the lifting cylinders 108 are located in the same machine. A base 112 is placed under each lifting cylinder 108, such as a support plate 117 which is immovable against the ground 112 relative to the ground. A sliding plate 114, 25 115 attached to the lower end of the lifting cylinder 108 is placed in the center of the support plate 117. The machine is then started and the base 102 is raised. When lifting is complete, the machine is shut down and the transfer cylinders 121 are mounted on the desired sides of the lift cylinders 108. The transfer cylinder 121 is placed horizontally on the support plate 117 so that a locking piece 122 away from the raised base 102. Thus, the transfer cylinder 123 remains stationary with respect to the support plate 117 when used. A push and pull frame 124 attached to the piston rod end of the transfer cylinder 121 is placed on the lift cylinder

108 onto the push and pull edge 116 in the slide plate 115, whereby the transfer cylinder 121 engages the lift cylinder 108. Now using the transfer cylinder 121, it moves the lift cylinder 108 horizontally forward or backward relative to the base 112 relative to the base 112. At the same time, the raised foundation 102 moves. 5 Typically, each lifting cylinder 108 uses simultaneously displacing transfer cylinders 121. After the desired transfer, the transfer cylinders 121 can be replaced on the other side of the lifting cylinders 108. If possible, for example, a foundational building or a multi-modular building their position horizontally 10 finely adjusted. Thus, there is no need to get the basic building or module to the right place with the help of transport equipment. If the stroke of the transfer cylinder 121 ceases in the middle, the movable foundation 102 is lowered to the ground by means of the lifting cylinder 108. The transfer cylinder 121 is then driven to the opposite end position and mounted in place. The movable base 102 is lifted again into the air by the lifting cylinder 108 and moved horizontally by the transfer cylinder 121 by the next stroke.

By repeating this step, the base 102 can be moved forward or backward by the stroke of the transfer cylinder 121 at a time. By the same method, the base 102 can also be moved in different directions by changing the position of the transfer cylinders 121 on different sides of the support plate 117.
