Description

RELOCATABLE BUILDING REMOVABLY EQUIPPED WITH FLEXIBLE SOLAR PANELS
The present invention relates to a plastic hall consisting of a canvas material that covers a frame construction, where at least the external roof part of the plastic hall is equipped with a number of soft solar panels. Using plastic halls, where canvas materials that covers a frame construction to set up, for example, storage and production halls of different sizes and shapes, is previously known. Although reference is here made to plastic halls these do not need in any way to be set up temporarily but can be standing over longer periods.
Therefore, it is important that the hall is strong and preferably insulated as well. It is also important that no unnecessary holes or the like are made in the canvas material, which can reduce the lifespan of the hall.
The present invention comprises, in the main, three previously known products, but when put together and used in a plastic hall they make a novel product with a
completely new function. The solution according to the invention also satisfies the requirements for mechanical fastening of solar panels with respect to quality, lifespan and guaranty.
Amorphous (soft) solar panels are fastened to a membrane that can be welded on. The membrane is normally used as a waterproofing roof covering and has solar panels as an additional product for production of alternative energy. The membrane is much used in warmer climates, while the same solar panel structure can be used for the present purpose .
A zipper is a very well-known product and is in itself an old fastening device. A zipper is defined in this context in all categories and sub-categories. Sub-categories such as, for example, the type of plastic keder with a locking pin that is forced into a keder track with a glide puller or a type of Razkal slider or Velcro and the like type.
The applicant has developed a method to fasten a zipper to the membrane which makes it possible to use this type of membrane with solar panels together with a separate PVC canvas on the roof of the halls. The zipper is sewn onto a membrane of PVC canvas. The PVC canvas is simple to weld to a suitable membrane. The zipper comprises two parts which, together with a glider and stoppers, lock the membrane securely to the PCV canvas of the hall/tent. The one half of the zipper is welded to the PVC canvas and the other half is welded to the solar panel membrane. The membrane with solar panels is carried up onto the roof on a pre-erected hall with PVC canvas with zippers (halves) welded on. The zipper halves are brought together and locked from above and down (alternatively from below and up) on both sides of the solar panel. Horizontally and in- between the solar panel membrane and the PVC canvas,
Velcro can be welded on to ensure that the wind does not get hold of the membrane/panel in the upper or lower part.
Several types of a base for the solar panels have been tested and considered. Separate tests in a pilot project have shown that the solar panels are best suited to a soft and elastic membrane. In this way no tension arises between the membrane of the solar panel and the PVC canvas of the hall. Hard membrane/plates have been found
unsuitable as the wear on the PVC canvas is too great or they make the PVC canvas too inflexible in windy
conditions .
Tests also show that it takes only a few minutes to fit a panel. In a standard hall of 10 x 24 meters there are, for example, all together 36 panels. It will take
approximately 90 minutes to fit all the panels and the process can be carried out as the hall is assembled section by section.
Besides the environmental gains in the generation of electricity from solar energy instead of using polluting and logistically demanding diesel aggregates, the panel system is simple to transport. The solar panels are easily folded together and can be transported in suitable boxes that are simple to stack/transport . The panels can
withstand more than crystal panels and are also more stable.
WO 2008/009916 Al shows inflatable elements that can be fitted to a rigid frame construction, where the inflatable elements are first fitted into a rigid frame. Furthermore, the elements comprise several canvas layers fitted with solar panels (so called photo voltaic cells - PHVC) , where the solar panels can be glued to a first canvas layer. The frame can be made from aluminium and fastened to the frame construction. The permanent solution that is shown in WO 2008/009916 Al cannot be altered. Thus, the PHVC cannot, or is not intended to, be able to be separated from the base said PHVC is fastened to. It may be argued that DE 4415238 Al shows the use of zippers. However, the solution is directed towards the fastening of membrane elements to a curved surface, such as preferably a balloon, airship or the like and where the aim is to reduce the forces that work on the materials, and then, in particular, tensile forces.
Reference is also made to WO 91/06208 Al and US
2004/0055633 Al as examples of prior art.
Consequently, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved solution for fastening of solar panels on a hall canvas and which does not make holes in the canvas or damage the canvas in other ways. It is a further object to provide a solution that is simple and quick to put in place and which simplifies mounting and dismantling of solar panels on a plastic hall. Other advantages and object will appear in the following description. Furthermore, the invention is distinctly different in that PHVC (from a starting point of amorphous PHVC) has the opposite aim, that it shall be simple to be able to take it off or be fitted on a base that consists of a known product such as a PVC canvas. The invention is based on it being possible to use it in the erection of emergency halls or other types of building constructions that consist of a load-carrying frame construction of mineral or metallic material components externally clad by a soft construction such as a PVC canvas or similar materials.
The invention is based on a growing market (green
buildings) where alternative energy production shall replace the need for polluting energy sources, such as, for example, diesel aggregates. The distinct difference from the above aforementioned documents is that the invention is a flexible and portable solution that offers special advantages with large logistic operations, such as, for example, the construction of refugee camps (World Food programme, UNHCR, Norwegian Refugee Council, the Red Cross, etc.) in that PHVC can easily be fitted and be dismantled whenever needed, by the use of, for example, a zipper solution.
Today, there are no commercially known methods for
fastening of fastening devices (for example, zippers) onto a soft canvas with glued on or vulcanised PHVC than where one half of a complete zipper can be sewn onto a soft oil- based canvas (PVC, EVA, etc.), which in turn is welded or vulcanised to a corresponding canvas with glued or
vulcanised PHVC. The opposite half of the zipper goes through a corresponding manufacturing process and is welded or vulcanised to the outer cover of the PVC or corresponding soft outer covering of the load-carrying construction .
Another distinct difference is that the invention makes it possible to get an optimal usage of the roof surface of the load-carrying construction so that one get as much electric energy production as possible for said roof area. The reason is that by such use of the area, the specific weight of the outer canvas of the load-carrying
construction is so heavy that it is not possible to put the canvas in place without the use of large and often unavailable lifting machinery. Hence, the possibility arises to simply be able to fit the PHVC onto the hall canvas after said canvas is fitted onto the load-carrying construction . The above mentioned object are achieved with a plastic hall manufactured by a canvas material that covers a frame construction, where at least the external part of the roof part is equipped with a number of soft solar panels which are fastened to an underlying soft membrane equipped with a first fastening device that is welded or sewn onto the membrane, as said first fastening device is arranged to be fastened to a second fastening device that is welded or sewn onto the canvas material of the plastic hall, whereby said solar panel and membrane make up a canvas material unit that can be separately fastened and removed.
Alternatively the first and the second fastening device can be made up of a zipper that runs in the longitudinal direction parallel with the solar panels.
The solar panels are preferably welded or sewn onto the membrane .
Furthermore, a third fastening device, such as Velcro with male and female parts, can be welded or sewn onto the membrane and canvas material, respectively, and which runs in the transverse direction in parallel with the solar panels .
The solar panels can be amorphous, i.e. soft and flexible.
The invention shall now be explained in more detail with the help of the enclosed figures, in which:
Figure 1 shows a standard plastic hall.
Figure 2 shows a part of the roof of the plastic hall equipped with solar panels.
Figures 3a and 3b show examples of fastening devices for use with the present invention. Figure 4 shows a longitudinal section of a solar panel fastened to the hall canvas.
Figure 1 shows a standard, known hall construction of a plastic hall 10 comprising an internal frame construction 14 over which a soft plastic canvas 12 is pulled. The frame construction is preferably manufactured in a known way by part elements, i.e., for example, rods and stays, that are put together to make a rigid construction.
Normally, a PVC canvas is used as the canvas material, but other materials can, of course, be used as well.
Furthermore, the plastic hall 10 is normally formed with a roof 26 and an optional number of side walls 24. Figure 2 shows a number of solar panels 20 fastened to the roof part 26 of the plastic hall 10. The solar panels in the shown form are rectangular and fastened in parallel and running longitudinally with each other, but can also be arranged transversely in relation to what is shown, or be formed in other geometric shapes. In the embodiment shown, the solar panels 16 are fastened with fastening devices 22a, 22b so that a zipper 22 is formed in the longitudinal direction. Fastening devices other than zippers are also possible. On the short side, the solar panels can be fastened with, for example, Velcro 20 at the top and bottom, or a zipper for that matter, to prevent, among other things, the wind getting a hold. The solar panels can have different width and length, but are preferably shaped alike.
Figures 3a and 3b show examples of zippers that can be used, but as mentioned, other fastening devices can also be used. Figure 3a shows a plastic keder with a locking pin that is forced into a keder track with a glide puller, and figure 3b shows a Razkal type slide. The most
important aspects of the fastening devices are that they are soft and flexible so that they follow the base and the solar panels, and that they are simple to lock together and unlock.
The one part 22a of the zipper is sewn or welded to an intermediate lying soft membrane 18, where the membrane is shown in figure 4 and the other part 22b of the zipper is sewn or welded to the plastic canvas 12, normally via a small piece of canvas (not shown) . Furthermore, the solar panel 16 itself is fastened to the membrane 18, also with the help of sewing or welding. All sewing and welding is preferably carried out during the production of the parts. It shall be pointed out that other fastening methods can also be used, such as gluing.
Thereafter, the whole of the solar panel 16 with the membrane 18 can easily be fastened with the help of the zippers 22 to the plastic canvas 12 of the plastic hall 10.
The membrane 18 is preferably formed as a thin, flexible canvas or film of, for example, PVC canvas.
Figure 4 shows a section in the longitudinal direction, taken between the zippers, and shows the different layers schematically. The plastic canvas 12 (PVC canvas of the hall) is at the bottom, the intermediate-lying membrane 18 and the solar panel 16 uppermost. The solar panel 16 is, as previously described, sewn or welded to the membrane and the gap shown between the parts of the figure is therefore only an illustration. The Velcro that stretches in the transverse direction is shown by the reference number 20.
