Description

  The present invention relates to a self-supporting module unit having no assembly floor, such as a living room, as described in the premise of claim 1. The module unit includes a support frame, at least most of the wall of the module unit is coupled to the support frame, and the support frame defines the basic shape of the module unit. The support frame includes a plurality of elongated support members, and a wall body is coupled on the support members, and the module unit is attached to the floor base by the support members.

  The self-supporting module unit can be used in, for example, buildings, offshore structures, ships, trains, yachts and the like. The degree of pre-processing can be varied. The module unit includes a support frame, and a wall body is usually coupled to the support frame by screws, and the shape of the module unit is determined by the support frame. The module unit can not only have a bathroom module, for example fitted in advance, but can also be equipped with mounting furniture if necessary. While moving the module unit to the installation location, the mounting furniture can be coupled to the wall and removed from it as soon as the module unit is fixed and installed in place. In this way, the module unit is moved to the place of use, possibly with furniture in advance, and is connected to its floor base by gluing, welding or nailing as usual.

  The material of the floor base is either steel or floor covering. The cheapest and most common joining method is welding. Living room adhesion is generally applied in the case of “floating floor” or when the floor covering is applied to the deck in advance. That is, the bonding is applied before the living room is mounted on the ship. In the case of gluing, the module unit is joined by an L-shaped strip to a deck with the covering spread over it. The L-shaped strip is screwed to the support frame of the module unit and bonded to the floor base. In the case of cabins etc., the module unit is glued onto the floor covering that covers the steel deck. This coupling method is illustrated in FIG. 3 and is described in more detail below. This solution is problematic in that it is necessary later to add a coating on the strip and that there is always a higher area at the location of the strip than the rest of the floor base. Installation of the strip takes time, and due to the irregularities in the floor base, it is practically impossible to install a vinyl parquet or similar coating on the floor base.

  When the connection of the module unit to the floor base is made by welding, the connection is also made at specific points at specific intervals inside the module unit, and similarly between the floor base and the support frame. Unevenness occurs at the boundary surface.

  One of the objects of the present invention is to provide an improved structure for the module unit, which makes it easier and faster to connect the module unit to the floor base than before. Become. Furthermore, this structure can be applied to various bonding methods, allowing various coating materials to be used on the floor base and ensuring proper results.

  The object of the invention is mainly achieved as described in more detail in claim 1 and other claims. According to the invention, the support member of the support frame is designed such that the wall arranged inside the module unit comprises a bevel or recess for the coupling means.

  The support member is preferably a hollow tube member and has a substantially rectangular cross section. It is therefore very suitable for supporting the module unit walls and for joining them to the floor base. The support member can be made of steel or, for example, an extruded aluminum profile. Finally, other manufacturing methods and materials can be used as long as they are sufficiently rigid to support the wall of the module unit and, for example, fire protection issues are also considered.

  The module unit is preferably configured to be attached to its floor base by an adhesive by using the slope or recess in the support member of the support frame. In this method, even if an adhesive is used, unevenness is not generated on the floor base inside the module unit, and it can be coated with a desired material as required.

  As another method, the module unit can be coupled by welding the module unit to the floor base at a specific interval at the position of the support frame by using the inclined surface or the recess of the support member. As described above, the inclined surface or the concave portion is configured such that the space between the welding points is filled with the sealing compound. As a result, the sound insulation of the module unit can be improved.

  The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings.

It is a perspective view of a module unit. It is a figure which shows a part of module unit by FIG. 1 from an inner side. FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of III-III of FIG. 2 disclosing a prior art solution for coupling a module unit to a floor base. FIG. 2 shows one solution according to the invention for coupling a module unit to its floor base. It is sectional drawing which shows the shape of the support member in the support frame by this invention.

  Reference numeral 1 in the drawings indicates a module unit, which can typically be typically a living room, for example. This module unit has a support frame and a wall 2 attached to the support frame. The module unit 1 also comprises a bathroom module 1a, which in this example is part of the module unit itself. It is known that the wall body 2 is usually composed of various panel elements, which are supported on a support frame by screws. The support frame is made of metal, usually steel, and comprises a number of hollow support members 3 attached to one another. The module unit 1 is connected to the floor base 5 by means of a support frame at the specific point indicated in FIG. The support frame also defines the shape of the module unit. Typically, module units also have a roof portion, but no separate floor, and the floor is formed by a floor base that can be covered in various ways, for example, a carpet of the entire floor or a parquet floor. The floor base 5 in this case, ie for marine applications, comprises a steel deck 5a which is covered with a covering 5b, to which the module unit is finally bonded, either by gluing, welding or nail fixing. Combined with

  FIG. 3 shows a typical structure that has been known for some time, particularly for cabins such as ships, and a method for joining module units in which the wall 2 is joined to the support member 3 forming the support frame by screws. The module unit is connected to the floor base by gluing and by a number of L-shaped strips 6 attached at specific intervals inside the module unit. The floor base here comprises a steel deck 5a and a deck covering 5b thereon. The L-shaped band plate is attached to the support member 3 and / or the wall body 2 by screws and / or adhesion, and bonding to the floor base is performed by adhesion. The thickness of the adhesive layer is about 2-3 mm and is indicated by reference numeral 7. If necessary, the stability of the strip can be ensured by screws before the adhesive 7 is dry. As shown in FIG. 3, the attachment point 4 remains higher with respect to the height of the floor base, so for example a parquet floor cannot be attached.

  FIG. 4 shows one coupling method according to the present invention. In this case, the wall of the support member 3 located inside the module unit is preferably provided with a slope or recess 3 a used for applying the adhesive 7. Preferably, the adhesive 7 is applied over the entire length of the support frame, but does not extend from the wall of the support member 3 into the interior of the module unit 1, so the choice of flooring material is not limited. By applying the adhesive 7 in the inclined surface or the recess 3a, the bonding can be performed quickly and easily.

  The solution according to the invention can also be applied to welding connections, whereby weld joints are provided at specific intervals in the slopes or recesses 3a of the support member. When it is necessary to improve the sound insulation of the module unit, the slopes or recesses 3a of the support member are filled with a sealing compound between the welding points.

  The support frame is made of steel, but may be made of aluminum and can be produced by extrusion or other methods. 5a to 5g show various cross-sectional shapes of the support member 3. FIG.

  The present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, and several modifications can be considered within the scope of the appended utility model registration claims.
