Description

This Invention relates to a folding residential, protective, transport, or the like supply container and a modular container system from previously mentioned containers.

Even in countrys with excellent medical care by resident physicians and Through clinics, there are always major disasters, in where extensive medical care can save lives on the spot can, and destroyed Houses must be replaced at short notice by alternative accommodation. Ambulance on the one hand and sports halls as emergency shelters On the other hand, do not necessarily provide sufficient or even optimal solutions represents.

Worldwide natural catastrophes happen again and again and (civil) wars instead of. Then people need fast medical help on the spot and accommodations. Especially with the accommodations show the experiences of the past, that plastic tarpaulins and tents are only partially suitable. For Thousands of people unfortunately make the aforementioned housing a very long term and certainly not decent accommodation represents.

Furthermore is such emergency shelters the disadvantage that in addition to provide these accommodations important time passes until the infrastructure necessary for life, that means So utilities, nutritional facilities or else also sanitary facilities etc., installed and available are placed. Especially in disasters, this time factor a big problem because it often depends on quick help here.

Out the prior art metal containers are already known, the in the form of small-room accommodation, delivered and installed in disaster areas. But these are too big in the existing form and too heavy to be fast and transported inexpensively in larger quantities to be able to. About that In addition, they lack the opportunity a fast, application-oriented conversion flexibility. Furthermore The problem also exists when using these metal containers rapid first aid in the form of nutrition, sanitary and medical facilities and logistics infrastructure.

Further are foldable transport containers known from the prior art, which can be transported in the folded state on site and then in the form of shelters be set up. However, these are also container designs the problem underlying that until reaching a functioning primary care too long a time passes.

present Invention is therefore the object of a hinged Residential, protective, transport, or the like supply container offer, a simple and effective transport to the site, a flexible application and above In addition, fast, comfortable and cost-effective first aid at the site allowed.

This The task is performed by a hinged residential, shelter, transport, or the like supply container solved by folding or Unfolding of a use state with a usable space in one Transport state with a reduced usable space can be brought and conversely, the supply container being a blanket, a floor and at least two side walls, namely having a first and a second side wall, of individual interconnected and about each other horizontal axes pivotable side elements, wherein the side walls over a lower side wall element are rigidly connected to the ground and the further side wall elements in each case to form a bridge element are pivoted into the usable space and wherein the by at least a bridge element formed reduced usable space for receiving and / or storage of Furnishing, supply, or similar additional elements formed is.

Furthermore this task is accomplished by a modular container system the hinged residential, protection, transport, or the like supply containers according to the aforementioned Sort of solved.

As a result the construction of the side walls from side wall elements, wherein the lower side wall element rigid connected to the ground, the supply container can be folded so that a reduced work space within the collapsed supply container arises. In this reduced working space u.a. transport cases or similar Elements are stored after setting up the supply container guarantee a first care of the residents. Furthermore but it is also possible in the reduced working space medical devices or other equipment during the Store transports, so that they also directly after installation or Unfolding the supply container can be used.

In addition, of course, the storage and recording of furnishing elements, such as Beds, cabinets, sanitary facilities etc. in the reduced usable space possible. So it is conceivable, for example, to set up a sanitary area in the supply container, which is arranged so that any solid furnishings, such as a shower tray, a toilet seat or a sink, are stored when folding the supply container in the reduced utility spaces formed by the bridge elements.

On this way it is possible to provide a fully equipped supply container, the together with the for the first aid necessary Elements, such as medical devices, Logistic elements or even of food, etc., collapsed is unpacked and after transport on site in a simple manner in the use state can be. In addition, the supply container according to the invention is due its reduced transport volume inexpensive and in large numbers being transported, being after delivery and unfolding Immediately ready for use without lengthy additional measures are necessary.

Preferably has at least the first side wall of the supply container at least three sidewall elements, an upper sidewall element, a middle sidewall element and the lower sidewall element, which are formed such that in the pivoted state, the middle Sidewall element a bridge platform element and the upper side wall member is a with a free end on the Ground supporting Bridge abutment element of the bridge element forms. A trained bridge element guarantees the static stable storage of the folded first side wall in transport condition. By each against each other inwards in the useful space pivoted side wall elements is a bridge element formed, which encloses a reduced work space, the the aforementioned tasks of storage and accommodation of furnishing, Supply or similar Additional elements allowed.

Preferably are the lower side wall element and the upper side wall element designed so that a horizontal course of the middle Sidewall element, so the bridge platform element in terms of of the soil. In this way, then the remaining sidewalls of the Supply container surface parallel on the bridge deck element be stored. Naturally But it is also conceivable, the upper side wall element and the lower Side wall element in such a way that the bridge platform element in the pivoted state, for example, at an obtuse angle runs to the ground. The resulting wedge shape can then, for example, by special trained transport boxes are balanced, for example additional recording of food or medical supplies, etc. serve. Due to the congruent design of these transport boxes to the wedge-forming bridge element becomes during transport slipping out of the transport boxes from their storage positions prevented.

Preferably the lower side wall element of the first side wall is lower as the lower sidewall member of the second and each further sidewall. In this way it is possible to fold the supply container step by step, starting at the first side wall, and then each next following Side wall on the bridge element formed by the first side wall can be stored. Especially with side walls, the are arranged at a certain angle to each other, for example, over the corner, is this different altitude education the lower sidewall elements important to the folding of the single side walls too enable. At opposite walls it is also possible form the respective lower side wall elements of the same height, if the adjoining middle or upper side wall elements either have a corresponding height or, in turn, are foldable multiple times, to be stacked on top of each other the opposite one side walls to get around.

Preferably the second side wall and further side walls each have at least two side wall elements, an upper side wall element and the lower side wall element, which are designed such that they at least in the pivoted state partly on the bridge platform element the first side wall or other bridge platform elements are storable. As previously mentioned allows this execution that successively folding the side walls of the supply container, depending on the design of the second and further side walls a flush mounting each folded sidewall elements or even the training further bridge elements with additional reduced utility rooms possible is, in which case the corresponding side wall, which is the additional bridge element preferably forms with a total of three or more side wall elements is trained.

Depending on the design, a different need for usable space for the transport state can be created. Of course, it is also conceivable to store between the individual pivotable side walls in the transport additional wall, ceiling or floor elements or similar additional elements, etc., which can then be supplied during installation of the container for further use, as will be explained in more detail below becomes. To store these spaces for storage To provide before mentioned additional elements, for example, the lower side wall member of the second side wall can be increased by the thickness of the einzulagernden additional element, so that the additional element is placed on the bridge formed by the first side wall element and then covered by the pivoted second side wall, which then flush on the Additional element rests.

Preferably have the side walls support elements on each of at least one side wall element of the corresponding side walls solvable are. In this way it is possible the load-deflecting static system of the sidewalls of the individual sidewall elements separate and therefore more cost-effective and easier-to-handle sidewalls. In addition, this allows support education the storage of the ceiling while the side wall elements pivoted, or as will be explained in more detail below, be replaced. The carrier elements are preferably according to the axes along which the Sidewall elements are pivoted to form them together can be folded with the respective side wall elements. For stabilization are then corresponding locking mechanisms on the support elements provided that an unwanted Prevent collapse.

Preferably also have the ceiling and / or the floor such support elements and exchangeable or removably mounted ceiling or floor elements on. Here are the same advantages in terms of static Stability, as previously mentioned in relation to the sidewalls. Furthermore allows Naturally the formation of exchangeable or removable ceiling or floor elements Depending on the application needs, blankets or floor elements should be left out or to train on demand. For example, if the supply container be used as a living container, so corresponding Wohndecken- or Residential floor elements used in the support elements become. The same applies to the use of the supply container as a medical, sanitary, or as a prison container or military Schutzkontainer.

Preferably has at least one side wall at its upper end at least a bearing element that with a slidable along the ceiling Sliding element is in pivotal engagement. This slider is preferably in a guide rail stored and over at least one, in particular central drive device displaceable. In this way, by a displacement of the sliding element a Swiveling the coupled side wall and at the same time Lowering the ceiling can be achieved in this area. You form at least two, in particular opposite side walls in such a way off, a lowered ceiling level can be achieved, either flush runs with the previously folded other side walls, at least on the first bridge element store, or a lowered ceiling level can be achieved that is spaced from these to additional reduced useable space to accomplish.

Preferably To drive this "lowering mechanism" is a central drive device used so that from a central position all Sliding elements can be moved in particular simultaneously. The Connection of the sliding elements with the central drive device, is as known from the prior art, for example by spindle drives in the form of worm gears or else by means of cables or Hydraulic cylinders achieved. Preferably, in addition to this central Drive device also still another reserve drive device provided to even in case of failure of the central drive device the lowering or lifting and thus the unfolding and folding of the supply container to be able to. About that In addition, it is conceivable additional Starting points for lifting mechanisms to provide the supply container. These additional lifting mechanisms are for example necessary if there is no possibility on site to operate the central drive device or if, for example in the formation of the supply container as a specially protected military container, the individual elements of the supply container are so heavy that extra Lifting force necessary is. For this it is advantageous if the engagement between sliding element and the drive device can be decoupled.

Preferably the bearing element of the side wall is arranged on the carrier element. These Arrangement allows the pivoting of the sidewall elements, which then from the carrier element solved be without lowering the ceiling. That's the way it is for example possible, after the pivoting of the corresponding side wall elements additional transport goods etc. in the space between the pivoted side wall elements and to store the blanket. About that in addition, this increases embodiment also by a not complete lowered ceiling formed reduced usable space, since only in the Area of the support elements by their inclination Space is lost.

Another advantage of the supply container described above is that due to the rigid design of the lower side wall elements, the length of the ceiling carrying schwenkba ren upper side wall elements is reduced, whereby the stable storage of the ceiling is guaranteed when pivoting these side wall elements. Especially with opposite side walls would otherwise come to a labile storage when moving the bearing elements of the respective opposite side walls to each other.

moreover it is not necessary when lowering the ceiling, the side walls explicitly on underlying bridge elements store as these are coupled to the ceiling at their free ends are. Here is also a self-supporting training of the pivoted side walls possible.

Preferably the supply container has at least one receiving element, for the particular sliding attachment of supply, furnishing, or similar Additional elements and / or for the attachment of further ceiling, floor, sidewalls or similar Elements and / or at least one other supply container and / or transport elements for transporting the supply container. Conceivable here are, for example, locking rails, threaded bushes, hook elements or tongue and groove systems as well as all others from the state the art known recording elements. Preferably, the individual receiving elements used on the supply container identical, so that all before mentioned additional elements etc. modular exchangeable and almost all Positions of the supply container to which receiving elements are provided, can be attached.

On the outside the supply container are preferably receiving elements for Assembly of transport elements provided, for example, to the Implement supply containers by means of lifting tools. In addition are but also recording elements conceivable that the connection of the supply container to transport facilities, such as trucks, rail vehicles or swimming platforms. It is also conceivable, for example, the formation of a buoyant supply container and their merger into larger buoyant complexes. In addition, the receiving elements serve, for example, the connection of additional Ceilings or floors, galleries, stairs or bridge elements, for example, to connect several containers with each other. of course is but it is also possible to arrange the receiving elements so that several supply containers can be coupled directly to each other, for example, larger supply container complexes to build. By means of these receiving elements, it is possible both on the outside the supply container additional Ceiling, floor and side walls etc., for example, between two adjacent containers additional covered etc. to create usable space, as well as by in the interior arranged receiving elements additional partitions etc. to arrange wiederentfernbar. Furthermore, it is possible to appropriate military To secure protective devices by means of the receiving elements, for example, a protective military container available put.

One Another advantage of these receiving elements is the possibility Furnishings or To attach supply elements to the container modular and so the Supply containers to adapt to the respective conditions of use. So can for example cabinets or beds are secured in the receiving elements when the supply container used as a living container. Furthermore, it is possible to use these recording elements appropriate wall coverings and protective coverings on the container to install, of course are interchangeable at any time and so, for example, the simple transformation of a residential container in a medical supply container or a military one Enable protective containers.

Preferably These receiving elements are by appropriate veneering elements Coverable to improve the overall appearance and also a dirt and damage prevent the receiving elements.

Preferably, at least one side wall and / or at least one side wall element and / or the ceiling and / or the bottom at least provided with a Aufnahmeeausspa tion, in particular a window element, a door element, a supply element, a cover, a connecting element or a similar additional element detachably can be used. By means of these receiving recesses, the flexibility of the supply container is decisively increased since, as required, different elements can be inserted into the receiving recess. For example, it is possible to use a facing element instead of a window if the supply container is to be converted into a storage container instead of a living container. This recording recesses can be arranged only on one side of the walls, etc., to allow, for example, the installation of cabinets, etc., or even the direct recording of stored goods, such as weapons in military use. Of course, then also door elements etc. can be used here. In addition, as previously mentioned, the receiving recess may be formed continuously from the inside to the outside of the supply container, such that, inter alia Window elements and door elements can be used. The coupling of two trained with corresponding receiving recesses supply container is easy to implement in this way. If the receiving recesses are arranged in such a way that they lie in the area of the reduced utility spaces of the folded supply containers, it is also possible to provide corresponding drawers or loading flaps which permit the loading of the reduced usable space from the outside.

Preferably is at least one side wall and / or a side wall element and / or the ceiling and / or the bottom of the supply container as a modular exchangeable or removable element formed. To this Way you can before delivery or also on site changes to the supply container structure be made. For example, should two containers become one large containers can be coupled at any time the modular side walls removed or otherwise positioned. Furthermore allowed of course the modular design makes it easier to repair because instead of the entire Supply containers are moved only the defective element got to.

Preferably has the modular interchangeable or removable element at least an integrated one adapted to a particular type of use or pre-installed supply, installation, or similar Additional element, in particular a residential, sleeping, sanitary, medical supply, or military Protective device. So equipped modular elements allow easy provision of the supply container accordingly the planned type of use or the rapid conversion of existing supply containers in Supply containers of other usage categories. The thus educated modular elements can then simply be integrated into the supply container if required.

Preferably are the necessary ones Supply lines, for example for the electricity, sanitary or Medical care already integrated in the supply container. In addition, it is conceivable to provide corresponding connecting elements, on the one hand the quick and easy connection of new module elements on the other hand, but also, for example, the connection of external equipment inside and outside of the supply container and its rapid integration into the container infrastructure enable. Here are all known from the prior art connection and line devices conceivable. Furthermore it is natural also possible, complete cable duct systems or similar cable management systems to integrate in the supply container.

Preferably is a receiving recess between two adjacent side walls provided, which runs in particular from floor to ceiling, in particular for receiving a removable door element. The advantage of this embodiment lies in the fact that especially for very large side walls by the division of a simplified handling of the individual side walls is guaranteed. Furthermore allows Such a receiving recess also the use of lifting tools inside the supply container. It has also been found that just door elements are subjected to heavy loads during transport, and it is often too a distortion of these door elements came. By removing the door element before folding the side walls, this is prevented the removed door elements Stowed in a simple ax and manner in the reduced reduced spaces formed are. Instead of door elements can Naturally also intermediate elements are used in the receiving recess, the split sidewalls reconnect after unfolding.

According to the invention above task, as mentioned above, also by a modular Container system solved with containers of the type described above. there At least two supply containers are at least one at each container arranged receiving element connectable, so that by appropriate Arrangement of supply containers larger container and supply complexes can be formed Here, the use of different, different usage categories specialized container is conceivable. By inserting additional Sidewall elements, sidewalls, floors, Blankets and more Additional elements can so in almost unlimited size container complexes be formed, the requirements of the prevailing to fully meet or even on the spot can be adapted to it. Of course, the supply containers are not only next to each other but also one above the other stackable and connectable.

Preferably are the receiving elements in a fixed grid to the Supply containers or at their elements and at the additional Wall, ceiling, floor, supply, furnishing, or similar Additional elements arranged so that all elements at almost in every position and every conceivable way in the container complex are.

The modular container system preferably has a mounting device for, in particular, automated folding or unfolding of the supply containers. This mounting device may be, for example, an assembly hall or even a mobile assembly vehicle. The supply container is transported into the area of this mounting device and then automatically folded or unfolded by appropriate mounting means and then transported on. It is also possible here that the existing possibly in the container hinged or sliding furnishing, supply, or additional elements, such as beds, sinks, cabinets, etc. are also automatically collapsed. Remote controlled release mechanisms, spring systems or cable systems are conceivable here, for example. The integration of this assembly device in the modular container system guarantees to a decisive degree the rapid provision of folding supply containers in case of need.

In this case, the bearing elements 60 . 60 ' on the support elements 71 ' . 81 the front side walls 70 . 80 arranged. As a result, as previously mentioned, first the upper sidewall elements 76 . 86 the front side walls 70 . 80 be pivoted without doing the ceiling 6 is lowered. Before lowering the ceiling 6 It is now possible in the space between pivoted sidewall elements 76 . 86 and the ceiling 6 to store additional goods to be transported, etc. By moving the aforementioned sliding elements 62 . 62 ' along the ceiling 6 become the carrier elements 71 ' . 81 ' the front side walls 70 . 80 pivoted, thereby successively the ceiling 6 is lowered. The drive of this "lowering mechanism" via a central drive device 64 , which have corresponding spindle drives with the sliding elements 62 . 62 ' is connected (s. 14 ). In this embodiment, it is thus possible to lock the ceiling in any desired position to provide additional storage space required.

By dividing the front walls 70 . 80 is advantageously the length of each to be pivoted carrier element 71 ' . 81 ' reduced, so that even with almost completely pivoted support element 71 ' . 81 ' between the respective sliding elements 62 . 62 ' such a big down stand, that the stability of the overlying ceiling 6 guaranteed at all times. Of course, it is also possible in this embodiment, the ceiling 6 If necessary, only one-sided lowering, this should be necessary.

14 shows a bottom view of the ceiling 6 , Shown here are the central drive device 64 as well as a reserve system 64 which also raises or lowers the ceiling 6 should be used, the central drive system 64 be defect. From the central drive system 64 runs a spindle system 65 . 65 ' . 65 '' to the respective sliding elements 62 . 62 ' . 62 '' . 62 ''' that with the bearing elements described above 60 . 60 ' the front side walls 70 . 80 (S. 12 ) are in pivotal engagement. The sliding elements 62 . 62 ' . 62 '' . 62 ''' are in guide rails 63 . 63 ' stored on the ceiling 6 are arranged and channel the movement of the sliding elements. In this embodiment, the spindle system 65 . 65 ' . 65 '' formed in opposite directions, so that, for example, by a rotational movement on the central drive element 64 the sliding elements 62 . 62 ''' and the sliding elements 62 ' . 62 '' move towards each other and away from each other in opposite rotation. In this way, a symmetrical and uniform lowering of the ceiling 6 allows.
