Module for use in the erection of buildings in modular construction

Abstract

A module for use in the erection of buildings in modular construction has a parallelepiped-shaped basic design and has outer walls, a floor, and a ceiling, with the supporting components of some, and preferably all, of the outer walls being cross laminated timber boards. The module includes a useful area and at least two separate vertical ducts, with both vertical ducts running through the module from bottom to top and each being included between at least one outer wall and at least one duct wall.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Applicant claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 of German Application No. 10 2017 125 886.8 filed Nov. 6, 2017, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a total concept for erecting buildings in modular construction, preferably multistory buildings that are designed for permanent residence. The concept includes a module for use in the erection of buildings in modular construction and a method of manufacturing wall elements for buildings.[0003]In times of urbanization and of hugely increasing demand for living space in conurbations concepts are required with which a large number of residential units can be erected in a time-saving and inexpensive manner. An absolute demand on these concepts is a high degree of quality, customizability, and sustainability to achieve a clear delineation from the functional buildings of the 1960s and 1970s.PRIOR ART[0004]It is known in t...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0013]Against this background, the invention relates in a further aspect to a method of manufacturing wall elements for buildings, wherein wooden panels of a specific width and length are stored in a store, and wherein the panels are sawed up transversely to the longitudinal direction to obtain timber panels of the same width and of a smaller length, with a plurality of panels being placed transversely to the direction of running on a conveying track, and indeed such that the panels are flush at the top and bottom and the side edges of consecutive panels contact one another, with the panels on the conveying track being connected along the contacting longitudinal sides to form a timber apron, and with the apron being sawed up transversely to the direction of running of the conveying track to obtain boards of a defined width.

Problems solved by technology

This area of use and the associated constraints make high demands on the stability of the module, on the possibility for running lines, and on noise and fire protection.

These demands can only be taken into account insufficiently with known concepts.
