Description of the invention (1 Field of the invention The present invention relates generally to a transportable dwelling, and in particular to a self-contained transportable dwelling unit, which includes various humanized equipment such as bedding, shower facilities, Toilets, liquid counters, and cooking facilities. Background Since the beginning of civilization, there have been mobile dwellings. Nomads have long used mobile dwellings, which can allow them to know their belongings periodically. Its dwellings were evacuated and relocated to new locations. Examples of such kau-si-movable tents include tents used by North American aborigines, dome tents used by Central Asian nomads, and Khoy, South Africa The matjieshuis used by Khoikhoi herders. For example, matjieshuis is a movable straw mat house. Structurally, it is a semi-permanent hut that can be quickly built or disassembled. The matjieshuis system includes weight The skeleton of light poles and the scribbled roof Today, 泫 matjieshuis is quite rare, but it includes transformations made of plastic and corrugated iron. Another example of a movable dwelling is a dome tent.

For example, at construction sites that are miles away from where a construction worker normally lives, there is a need to provide workers with temporary shelters. The cottage may also be a hotel or motel or other accommodation type as long as it is not far from the construction site. However, in the case of long-term construction projects, it will avoid the costs associated with such boarding of all workers in a hotel. Another example is in the oilfield exploration and drilling project, where oilfield equipment and personnel communication are located in areas far from the population. Other requirements for temporary dwellings are periods after natural catastrophes, such as floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, and hurricanes. Natural disasters of this type often require many people to move away, whether they are injured in their homes or they are unable to return home or live at home at all. Other examples of the need for temporary dwellings are when the home is being renovated. In addition, there is also a need for temporary accommodation in farms and vineyards. At this paper scale, China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) is applicable. B7 V. Description of the invention (3) Seasonal migration of the valley Harvesting workers. There are also occasions where temporary accommodation is required, including wild hunting camps, camping huts or wild hunting and camping areas, and temporary shelters for low-income college students. Furthermore, the provision of temporary shelters by travellers is still a problem so far. All of the above examples of demand for temporary dwellings are likely to occur around the world. Therefore, there is a need to provide a temporary residence that can be adapted to various weather and includes basic humanized facilities for long-term residence. Abstract The present invention provides a self-contained transportable housing unit.
