Stackable and Road-Transportable Micro Modular House

The micro-modular house measures a maximum of 3 meters wide on the outside and between 6 and 12 meters long, and its internal room height is at least 2.30 m. As a special feature, it can be transported by road, which means that it can be transported at anytime and anywhere without special permission for exceptional transport, where an open road leads. It has a casing that extends all around and consists of a layered structure made of heat-insulating composite panels or laminated panels that extends all the way up to the windows and doors, for the floor, walls and ceiling, while the windows have plastic frames. Wood, aluminum or combinations thereof and include double or triple laminated glass. The front side forms a full-surface window front, so that the shell is nowhere penetrated by a heat-conducting part from the inside to the outside and offers a thermal insulation value U of at least 0.18 W/m2K everywhere. Within this shell and parallel to all of its outer edges, an inherently stable steel grid frame runs completely integrated into it. The micro-modular house can be lifted at the four upper corners of this steel grid frame.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

This invention relates to a stackable and road transportable micro-modular house. It is a micro house because it allows living in a limited space, but still in a pleasant, high-quality ambience and at a high level of quality, but is spatially reduced to the minimum necessary, so to speak. It is called a modular house because such a house can be combined with two or more houses of the same type to form an ensemble using modular construction. The houses are arranged seamlessly next to each other or offset from one another, or they can be set up free-standing. Optionally, they can be stacked, and on a slope they can also be stacked like stairs.

In modular construction, individual prefabricated components are usually put together to form a functional building or used separately. These prefabricated components are used as modular spatial elements in container construction, among other things.

The requirements for such spatial elements for modular construction or for modular houses in general are mainly their strength, load-bearing capacity and thermal insulation. The plate-like floor and ceiling elements previously used in modular construction achieve the necessary strength and the ability to support themselves and absorb additional loads by containing internal metal struts, tensioning made of wire ropes or wooden inserts. The struts can be designed as profile beams, wooden beams, etc., or wire ropes can brace solid components against each other. Thermal insulation is generally achieved by filling the wall cavities with rock wool or other heat-insulating materials, for example straw, special thermal insulation panels, Styrofoam or similar material.

Description of Related Art

The currently available modular houses and in particular micro-modular houses generally offer only a low level of living comfort and are mostly intended for temporary living. There are mobile building barracks that are essentially containers in the style of a shipping container, with the side walls being relatively thin and often made solely of sheet metal and with little thermal insulation. By combining floor, wall and roof elements, such a modular room element is created, for example in the form of a container. The assembly of these elements is usually achieved by a frame construction using L-profiles or other profiles, which are often made of metal, but can also be made of wood. Like sea containers, these container barracks can be transported by road and placed on site using a crane, so they are inherently stable in this respect. They can be lifted at their four upper corners using the tabs provided there and placed at the desired location.

The wall elements with the struts described and cavities filled with insulation material do not have continuous thermal insulation. There is no significant insulation in the areas of the struts, which is particularly the case with metal struts due to the high thermal conductivity of the material used. Even when using wooden struts, there is no specific thermal insulation in the area of the struts. Modular room elements that are created using elements with struts have thermally conductive material connections from the outside to the inside and vice versa in the areas of these struts, which reduces the overall thermal insulation. In winter, when outside temperatures are low, it is bitterly cold inside and requires strong heating, and in summer, during hot days, it is often unbearably hot in these containers.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention is to create a stackable micro-modular house that can be transported by road, which meets the highest quality standards despite the limited space available, which offers a light-flooded, homely ambience for 1-2 people, on which high-quality materials are installed, and that can be mass-produced cost-effectively industrially, and can be quickly brought to site on the road and then set up on site. This micro-modular house should include all sanitary installations, washing and kitchen appliances for comfortable living and offer particularly good heat and sound insulation, for minimal heating and cooling expenditure and to ensure an optimal, quiet living atmosphere.

This problem is solved by a micro-modular house, which is characterized by the fact that it can be transported by road without special approval, and furthermore that it has a shell extending all around and made of a layered structure made of heat-insulating composite panels or laminated panels that extends all the way up to the windows and doors, for the floor, walls and ceiling, while the windows are made with frames made of plastic, wood, aluminum, thermo-mechanical mineral fibers and textiles or combinations of these materials and include double or triple laminated glass, and that one The front side forms a full-surface window front, so that the shell is not penetrated anywhere by a heat-conducting part from the inside to the outside, with an inherently stable steel grid frame being integrated within this shell and parallel to all of its outer edges, and with the micro-modular house at the four upper corners this steel lattice frame can be lifted.

The advantage is that the invention solves the problems of a lack of thermal insulation due to cold bridges in spatial elements for modular buildings while at the same time maintaining the load-bearing capacity and resilience of the elements by using a combination and connection of existing components that have not previously been used in modular construction found.

 DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

A complete micro-modular house according to this invention is shown in FIG. 1 in a perspective view of the front and a long side. Its dimensions essentially correspond to a sea container, and these can be transported by road without requiring a permit for exceptional transport. This means that it can be transported at any time and anywhere there is an open road. Because the goal is to create a light-flooded room with optimal use of space for such a road-transportable micro-modular house, the front of the house is, as you can see, designed with a continuous window front. This can optionally have a door, here for example in the form of a lifting and sliding door. Approximately two thirds of one long side of the house are designed as a window front, also optionally equipped with a door. In the example shown, one half of the window is designed as a lift and slide window so that it can be pushed over the other half of the window and offers a large passage to the adjoining terrace. To achieve optimal heat balance, the micro-module house is designed with a continuous heat-insulating shell with the exception of these two window fronts. This shell is nowhere penetrated by a heat-conducting part from the inside to the outside and offers a thermal insulation value U of 0.18 W/m2K everywhere. Within this shell and parallel to all of its outer edges, an inherently stable steel lattice frame is integrated into it, and the micro-modular house can be lifted using a crane at the four upper corners of this steel lattice frame.

FIG. 2 shows a floor plan of the micro-modular house. In the living room/bedroom 1 there is space for a double bed 2, a table 3 with chairs 4, an open kitchen 5 with a sink 4 and a stove 7 and a separate wet room 9 with at least one toilet 10, a washing machine 11, a sink 12 and a shower 13. There are built-in cupboards 8 in the entrance area opposite the wet room. With the exception of a window 14 in the wet room 9 and the entrance door 15, the front window 16 and the long side window 17, the entire living space is covered by a heat-insulating shell 18 with a special layer structure, which will be revealed in more detail below. As a special feature, there is nowhere in this shell 18 a thermally conductive element that leads from the outside to the inside or vice versa.

FIG. 3 shows a floor plan of the micro-modular house in the window area. The window on the long side is divided into sections 21, 22, 23 with the intermediate supports 19, 20. The section 23 is designed as a lifting-sliding door and, after being lifted, can be moved inwards as indicated by the white arrow and then moved over the window section 22. The front is divided into two sections 25, 26 by the support 24. The section 25 is designed as a lifting-sliding door and can be pushed inwards and then over the other section 26 after it has been lifted. The corner support 27 accommodates the frames 28, 29 for the two lifting-sliding doors 23, 25. The wall 30 of the micro-module house opposite the window front on the long side is a continuous wall with a layer structure for optimal thermal insulation. The steel crossbars 31 connect the longitudinal struts of the lattice steel frame to increase stability and to support the floor 32.

FIG. 4 shows an elevation of the long side with the windows 35, 36 to the floor plan according to FIG. 3. You can see the frame 33 for the sliding-lifting door 34 here and arrows show how it can be moved. The two adjacent windows 35, 36 are provided at the bottom with narrow frame sections or frame sections that are completely recessed into the floor in order to achieve the most open, undisturbed window front possible.

FIG. 5 shows an elevation of the front side with window front, i.e. seen from the left of the micro-modular house shown in the floor plan in FIG. 4. You can see the frame 37 for the lifting and sliding door 38, which can be pushed up here and then inwards to the right over the other half of the window.

FIG. 6 shows a section through the long side without windows with a roof railing 39 at the top. There are steel supports 40, 41 inside the shell, which connect the inner steel tubular frame from bottom to top and increase its stability.

FIG. 7 shows a section across the micro-modular house. Here you can see the lower steel profiles 42 in a cross section, which extend at the bottom along the lower longitudinal edges of the micro-modular house and also the upper steel profiles 43 in a cross section, which extend at the top along the upper longitudinal edges of the micro-modular house. In addition, FIG. 8 shows a longitudinal section through the micro-modular house. Here you can see the lower steel profiles 44 in a cross section, which extend at the bottom along the lower wide edges of the micro-modular house and also the upper steel profiles 45 in a cross section, which extend at the top along the upper wide edges of the micro-modular house. The supports 40 extend inside the casing from the lower 42 to the upper square profiles 43 of the grid frame.

FIG. 9 shows a floor plan with a view of the floor of the micro-modular house. In the floor there are a number of connecting profiles 46 between the two square profiles 42, which extend along the two lower longitudinal edges of the Mirko modular house. A floor can be supported on them. The wastewater pipe 47 is also shown for connecting the kitchen and bathroom wastewater. Struts 48 are installed at the corners of the grid frame to stabilize and absorb shear forces of the grid frame. All of these heat-conducting square profiles 42, 43; 44, 45 of the grid frame and its supports 40 and connecting profiles 46 are completely integrated into the shell of the micro-modular house, so that not a single heat-conducting element leads from outside the shell into the interior or vice versa.

FIG. 10 shows an elevation of the front part of the long side with the window front with here as a variant two windows which are divided by a wall section 49 and which are each equipped with a lifting-sliding door, and one to the right of it in FIG Elevation of the front with the continuous window front with lifting and sliding doors.

FIG. 12 shows a floor plan of the Mirko modular house with the freedom of movement of the sliding doors marked with arrows, and FIG. 13 shows the front lower corner in the floor plan according to FIG. 12 in an enlarged view, with the window fronts essential for the illustration shortened. The wall structure and the window structure or door structure can be seen from this FIG. 13. Within the walls that form the shell 18, thermally insulating panels 50 with an insulating core are installed. The thickness of these extends neither all the way in nor all the way out. Rather, they leave a cavity 51, 52 free both inside and outside, to improve the heat and sound insulation on the one hand and, if necessary, to lay sanitary and electrical cables in the inner cavity 51. You can also see the cross struts 46, the cross sections of the windows/door frame 47 and the triple glazing 54, i.e. the panes for optimal thermal insulation.

For an even deeper insight, FIG. 14 shows a section across the micro-module house, with the floor 55, walls 56 and the ceiling 57 significantly shortened for the purposes of the illustration so that the four corners can be represented. In this illustration you can see the four steel profiles 42, 43 each in a cross section, and in between at the two ends of these steel profiles 42, 43 and also the steel supports 40, 41 installed between them and the horizontally extending steel profiles 31 for cross bracing, to support the floor and roof. As you can see on the left and right in the figure, the wall structure is designed in such a way that insulation panels 50, for example 100 mm thick, made of a heat-insulating, for example foamed material, adjoin the square steel profiles 40, 41 on the outside, and where they are do not rest on the steel profile flanks, 50 cavities 58 with a width of 100 mm are formed on the inner side of the insulation panels.

According to DIN EN 13501-1, the insulation panels 50 are flame-retardant (B-s1, d0), heat-insulating composite panels or laminate panels with an insulating core made of polyisocyanurate rigid foam, which means that with an insulating core thickness of 100 mm, a U-value of 0.18 W/m2K can be achieved with a polyester coating on both sides. A slatted frame is connected to these insulation panels 50 on the inside and outside, largely forming a cavity 52, 58, on which the outside is followed by facade elements 62 and the inside by gypsum boards 56 as interior construction. The facade elements 62 as well as the plasterboards 56 are attached to the outer and inner slatted frames. Sanitary and electrical lines can be laid in the inner cavity 56, and the cavity 58 that remains free can be filled with insulation material. A wooden grid made of slats 60 is nailed, screwed or glued onto the outside of the insulation panels 50, which thus applies approx. 20 mm to the insulation panels 50. The space between the slats 60 of the attached wooden grate remains free for further thermal insulation and to refract sound. On the outside of the slats 60 of the wooden grate there is a cavity 52 30 mm wide. Finally, wall panels 62 with a thickness of 20 mm are mounted on the wooden grid as facade elements using mounting brackets on the slatted frame. Facade elements with an IPN twilight core, such as QuadCore® from Kingspan GmbH, are suitable for this purpose. Teufenerstr. 25, CH-9000 St. Gallen. At the core, these sandwich elements have a fine-pored foam with microcells, so that these panels offer an excellent insulation value of 0.018 W/mK, while at the same time offering excellent fire behavior. The outer cover layer is 25 μm to 50 μm made of polyester with a slightly granulated surface structure and is free of chlorine, phthalates and plasticizers and is 100% recyclable. The Twilight Core is CFC and HCFC-free and has zero ozone depletion potential. The inner polyester cover layer is 15 μm to 25 μm. Here the facade elements are 20 mm thick. Slightly less wide square profiles 31, 46 run between the lower steel square profiles 42 and the upper steel square profiles 43, on the inner side of which a slatted frame is mounted. Between the inside of the slatted frame and the thermal insulation panel 50, the total width of the cavity formed is 100 mm. Plasterboard 56 with a thickness of 10 mm can be attached to the inside of the slatted frame. Between the lower, transverse to the direction of view, i.e. parallel to the plane of the drawing, struts 31 run between the front and rear steel square profiles 44, 45 of the grid frame. These struts 31 are slightly less high than the outer steel square profiles. Wooden beams 62 rest on them and thermal insulation panels 50 with a thickness of 120 mm can be inserted between these struts 31. The wooden beams 62 are used to support wooden panels 63 as a base floor. Cables for a floor heating system are mounted on this subfloor 63 and cast into a 28 mm thick subfloor covering 64. The actual floor covering 55 with a thickness of 20 to 23 mm is laid on this subfloor covering. These can be natural or artificial stone slabs, parquets of all kinds, plastic panels, etc., depending on the standard of construction. At the top, insulation panels 50 of 120 mm thickness lie on the cross struts 31 between the steel square profiles 44, 45 of the lattice tube frame, while a suspended ceiling panel 57 is installed at the bottom by leaving a cavity of 100 mm free. A room height of 2550 mm remains.

FIG. 15 shows the lower left corner from FIG. 14 enlarged. The struts 31, 46 between the outer steel square profiles 42 and the steel square profiles 44 running at right angles to them are smaller and therefore offer space for assembling wooden gratings made of slats, for assembling the insulation panels 50 and the interior cladding. All around, the construction is designed in such a way that no steel profiles or steel struts or any other heat-conducting element leads from the very inside to the very outside or vice versa. All steel parts are completely packed into the building shell 18 so that their thermal insulation comes into its own.

FIG. 16 shows a section across the roof area of the micro-modular house, with the ceiling shortened in width for illustration, and only the upper section of the adjoining walls. On top of the upper square steel profiles 43 there is a grating made of square steel profiles 66, 65 to support the roof structure. This carries further insulation panels, which have a wedge-shaped profile, so that there is a gradient from right to left in the figure. This inclined surface is followed by a vapor barrier 67 and on this in turn insulation panels 68 and finally a sealing film. If necessary, if the roof is to be walkable, a roof covering can be laid on this, for which purpose a leveling layer of sand is first applied to the sealing film, and a floor covering is rolled out or laid on this, such as wooden slats or slabs, stone slabs, etc. The vertical walls of the micro-modular house are closed at the top, as can best be seen from FIG. 17, by screwing an angle profile 71 from the inside to the upper edge area of the wall, which covers the wall at the top. A wooden slat 69 is mounted on this and the whole thing is covered by a chrome steel or copper sheet 70 with drip noses 72 on both sides.

FIG. 18 shows the same upper corner from FIG. 16 enlarged, but now with a screwed-in lifting rod 59 and crane eye 60 for lifting and moving the microhouse. This lifting rod 59 of 15 mm thickness with at least one-sided thread can be inserted from top to bottom through a hole. The upper square steel profile 43 along the longitudinal edge of the micro-modular house is reinforced on its inside with a flat steel 61, which is screwed into the profile 43 from the inside. A lock nut 73 is welded to the bottom of the flat steel 61 for the thread on the lifting rod 59. This means that the lifting rod 29 can be screwed into this lock nut 73. At the upper end, the lifting rod forms a crane eyelet 60. The micro-module house can thus be lifted on four such screwed-in lifting rods 59 using a crane and placed anywhere. The lifting rods 59 are then removed and the holes in which they were inserted are sealed with rubber plugs.

FIG. 20 shows a section through a wall with a window, the height of the window being shortened for the purposes of the illustration. Here you can see that the frame profiles for the triple-glazed windows or doors are screwed into the insulation panels 50. These frame profiles 53 can be pure plastic frames, wooden frames or combined wood-aluminum frames or even plastic-aluminum frames.

FIG. 21 shows a special structure of the micro-modular house made of three approximately cubic, equally sized structural frames, each with the same side length, namely a maximum of 3 meters. Their height can also be 3 meters, but can also be made slightly lower to provide an internal height of, for example, 2.20 m to 2.40 m. In the floor there are a number of connecting profiles 46 between the two square profiles 42, which extend along the two lower longitudinal edges of the micro-modular house. On this steel framework for constructing the floor, vertical steel profiles 40, 41 are inserted at the corners and along the long sides. These are connected at the top along both long sides with a steel profile 45. In this way, individual completely or approximately cube-shaped units can be created as a steel structure, which can then be connected to each other on any side using screws. It is important that the side lengths are always the same length, while the height and especially the internal dimensions are slightly smaller. Thanks to the identical outer side lengths, they can be combined together. Accordingly, more than three or more such base bodies can be screwed together in a row. Or a floor plan is formed in the form of a right angle, with one unit to which another unit is attached on two adjacent sides. There are almost no limits to how they can be combined. FIGS. 22 to 24 show three floor plans, for example, in FIG. 22 in the form of a corner house made up of three such units, in FIG. 23 in the form of a corner house with offset sides and in FIG. 24 a house made up of nine units and square in floor plan.

FIG. 25 shows a continuous ceiling plate 76, which can also be divided and which can be placed on three structural frames screwed together underneath. On the side of this ceiling plate 76 you can see connecting elements 78 attached to it for the upper edge edges 77 to be added later. You can also see two attic floor coverings 79 and another attic floor covering, which is designed as a walkable terrace floor 80 with a circumferential railing 81. The railing 81 is interrupted at one point, namely where a prefabricated steel staircase can be connected to enter the terrace.

FIG. 26 shows the facade elements 82 for creating the heat-insulating shell 18 around the structural frames screwed together. Some of these prefabricated facade elements 82 are equipped with windows and/or doors. However, their dimensions are interchangeable, which allows a high degree of flexibility for the design, where ultimately walls with windows or without windows are desired, where the door should be placed, etc.

FIG. 27 shows the micro-modular house made of three approximately cubic structural frames with fully assembled facade elements. The roof panel 76 is placed on these three structural frames that are screwed together and the upper edge trims 77 are mounted. Finally, this micro-modular house appears as shown in FIG. 28.

Such residential units, for example made of three equally sized, approximately cubic structural frames, each with the same side length of 4 m, can now be screwed together and placed next to each other as shown in FIG. 29 and also screwed to the neighboring units, whereby Of course, inner walls can be omitted or such inner walls can contain doors, so that the floor plan area in this example is 12 m×12 m=144 m2. If four such structural frames are installed on each side, the result is a floor plan area of 16 m×16 m=256 m2. The structural frame in the center can also be left out, creating a patio, i.e. a small internal garden or courtyard that offers a lot of privacy and is cut off from the outside world. It is an intimate, atmospheric place where you can unwind. On micro-modular houses lined up next to each other with three units each, as shown here, another unit can be placed on top in the transverse direction and screwed to the lower ones, as shown here. This would also work in the longitudinal direction because all dimensions are compatible with one another, thus offering the greatest possible freedom of combination.

FIG. 30 shows how such micro-modular houses can be used universally. They can be set up at ground level or on a slope on a leveled area or scaffolding. And they can also be stacked as shown in FIG. 30, here for example to form a three-story ensemble. There are six micro-modular houses next to each other on the ground floor, six units are arranged next to each other on the floor above and only four units at the top, so that a terrace 74 is formed on each side with the area of a micro-modular house. These terraces 74 are secured here by composite glass panels 75 as railings, which appear particularly light-footed and elegant. However, conventional railings can also be used.

These micro-modular houses can be connected to one another in any way, for example in the simplest form at the rear through connecting scaffolding corridors, from which they are then accessible. The special thing about these Mirko modular houses is that they can be mass-produced in a standard version or, for example, in three expansion standards, in an industrial, cost-effective manner. It makes sense to offer a simple standard version, for really economically particularly economical and yet ecologically highly efficient apartments, then a middle-class version with a higher standard of construction, using more expensive materials for the interior work and, if necessary, also for the facade. And finally, a luxury version can be offered, for which buyers can individually determine the expansion. In any case, the basic structure remains the same: the micro-module houses are surrounded all around, except for the windows and French doors, by a shell 13 made of heat-insulating material 50 and nowhere is there a heat-conducting element that penetrates this shell 13 from the inside to the outside or vice versa. These micro-modular houses are also easily transportable by road and can therefore be easily and quickly brought to and dropped off at any location to which a road leads. Overall, comfortable living is offered according to the motto reduced-to-the-max-reduced to the essentials, ideal for one or two-person households, and all at a reliably calculable fixed price. And if additional living space is required later, additional houses can easily be arranged next to or above it.

In a standard version, for example, this equipment is offered:
