CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No.2026205253315, entitled “STEEL-STRUCTURE MODULARIZED INTEGRATED BUILDING STRUCTURE SYSTEM”, filed on April 18, 2026 (DAS code: EBAE), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of prefabricated building construction technology, and specifically to a steel-structure modularized integrated building structure system. BACKGROUND
[0003] For a modularized integrated building, the fabrication of a steel-structure module, the pouring of a concrete for a floor slab, and the installation of a wall plate and an outer-wall decorative material can all be prefabricated in a factory before being transported to a site for assembly. Such an assembled prefabricated building not only ensures high compressive strength, a safe load-bearing performance, and an environmentally friendly building material and construction process, but also retains the characteristics of a traditional architecture. In particular, the assembled prefabricated building can be rapidly assembled and have high construction efficiency, making it a major trend in the modern construction industry.
[0004] In the prior art, the connection between modularized prefabricated building modules commonly involves drilling numerous bolt holes in a crossbeam and using a large number of bolts. The disadvantage of this connection method is that, due to the arbitrary formation of a bolt hole, it is difficult to align the bolt holes (whether assembled side-by-side or top-to-bottom) of a module during on-site installation, which affects both construction quality and progress. Furthermore, similar problems exist in the connection between a steel-structure unit house module and a concrete 2026208015 22 Jul 2026 foundation.
[0005] Additionally, when the steel-structure unit house modules are assembled laterally or longitudinally, how to effectively address fireproofing and waterproofing issues at an assembled gap remains a challenge. For the steel-structure unit house module provided with a corridor, how to assemble the corridor more quickly is another problem that needs to be resolved.
[0006] In view of this, the inventor of the present invention was dedicated to developing a steel-structure modularized integrated building system and designed a connecting component between building modules to rapidly connect a left-floor module to a right-floor module and connect an upper-floor module to a lower-floor module, which improves installation efficiency, reduces a required connection space, decreases the number of connecting bolts, and lowers a labor cost. Furthermore, a new connection structure for connecting the steel-structure unit house module to a foundation is proposed.
[0007] At the same time, the steel-structure modularized integrated building system can effectively address waterproofing and fireproofing problems at an assembled gap during both the lateral and longitudinal assembly of the steel-structure unit house modules.
[0008] On this basis, the inventor of the present invention also proposed a new design for the convenient and rapid installation of the corridor in the steel-structure unit house module provided with the corridor. SUMMARY
[0009] For the above problems and shortcomings, an objective of the present invention is to provide a steel-structure modularized integrated building system, and a joint connecting device for the rapid assembly of a steel-structure unit house module. With a module positioning pin, a connecting plate, and a module connecting bolt, left and right modules, as well as upper-floor and lower-floor modules are rapidly connected and mounted in place, thereby reducing installation difficulty, improving construction efficiency, and simultaneously saving a connecting space and material. The present invention also provides a connecting structure for rapidly and conveniently 2026208015 22 Jul 2026 connecting the steel-structure unit house module to a concrete foundation. On this basis, a further objective of the present invention is to provide a construction and a device that effectively waterproof and fireproof the lateral and longitudinal assembled gaps of a steel-structure unit house module.

[0022] Furthermore, the opening of a lateral gap between the longitudinally assembled steel-structure unit house modules is sealed with a lateral waterproof cover plate. The lateral waterproof cover plate includes a composite plate made by compounding a galvanized sheet iron, a calcium silicate plate, and an aluminum profile sheet. The lateral waterproof cover plate is fastened to the wall plate at an outer facade at the assembled place of the steel-structure unit house module above and the steel-structure unit house module below with the screw at the upper and lower ends thereof, respectively. A third sealant is injected into a contact place between the upper and lower edges of the lateral waterproof cover plate and the wall plate of the steel-structure unit house module.
[0023] Furthermore, the gap between the laterally assembled steel-structure module units is further filled with a fireproof and waterproof material.

[0028] After the upper and lower connecting boxes of the present invention are connected to the vertical column, the upper and lower connecting boxes and the vertical column form a five-sided enclosure with an opening on an outward-facing side. The opening serves as an installation recess for connecting the bolt, thereby facilitating operation. The upper and lower connecting boxes are manufactured from a high-strength structure steel to withstand high local stress at a connecting joint.
[0029] Compared to the prior art, The present invention has the following advantages: 1. The upper and lower connecting boxes are arranged. Conical positioning pins are mounted at the four corners of the lower-floor module. When being mounted, the upper-floor module is positioned and imported so that the upper-floor module is mounted in place rapidly, precisely positioned and smoothly imported, significantly reducing installation difficulty and improving construction efficiency. After being mounted, the module positioning pin can function as a shear key, sharing the horizontal load of the module connecting bolt and increasing structure safety margin. The upper and lower connecting boxes are welded at the beam-column joint of a modularized building, requiring no additional space and thus saving both space and material. 2. The base connecting boxes are arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the first-floor steel-structure unit house module and tightly locked and connected by the cooperation between the base connecting bolt and the base connecting nut, enabling quick installation and improving construction efficiency. The base connecting box is positioned with the base positioning pin. Once installation is complete, the base positioning pin also functions as the shear key to share the lateral load of the base connecting bolt, increasing the structure safety margin. 3. The lateral assembled gap and the longitudinally assembled gap are filled with the fireproof and waterproof material, and then sealed at the outer side thereof with the vertical waterproof cover plate and the lateral waterproof cover plate, 2026208015 22 Jul 2026 respectively. For the vertical waterproof cover plate, the inner sealing plate cooperates with the outer cover plate. The lateral waterproof cover plate is a composite plate made by compounding a galvanized sheet iron, a calcium silicate plate, and an aluminum profile sheet. All sealing gaps of the vertical waterproof cover plate and the lateral waterproof cover plate are sealed with the sealant, significantly enhancing waterproof, moisture resistance, and fireproof performances. 4. A corridor connecting structure is arranged. The L-shaped steel plate and the supporting U-shaped steel are arranged on the vertical column at one side of the corridor, and then a prefabricated corridor floor is directly bolted to the supporting U-shaped steel so that the corridor can be quickly and conveniently mounted, improving construction efficiency.

[0083] The present invention provides a steel-structure module, a node connecting device, and a steel-structure module building.
[0084] For a steel-structure unit house module of the present invention, after the steel-structure module is completed, construction continues on top of the steel-structure module. The structure module is wrapped with a calcium silicate plate 394 at the outer side thereof and wrapped with a fireproof plate 391 at the inner side thereof. A keel 393 made of a light-steel material at the inner and outer sides of the structure module is used as a supporting system for a wall structure. Additionally, a cavity within a wall is filled with a rock wool 392. Therefore, one outer wall system is formed. A steel structure at the top of a roof structure of a ceiling and roof system is wrapped with a waterproof steel foil 395 at the top thereof to ensure waterproofing. A ceiling system consists of the fireproof plate 391, the keel 393 made of the light-steel material, and the rock wool 392. Aluminum decorative outer walls in different designs and different colors can be mounted at the outer wall system according to a customer’s different requirements. Together with a door and window system, the outer wall system ultimately forms a complete steel-structure module building, thereby meeting a range of functional requirements such as fireproofing, moisture resistance, sound insulation, and thermal insulation.
[0085] Upon completion, the steel-structure module building is transported to a construction site of a project via various means (such as land or water transport). Construction and installation personnel quickly connect and secure tightly the steel-structure module building to a first-floor steel structure module by a pre-embedded foundation connecting structure. A plurality of modules are connected and secured tightly laterally as shown in FIG.7. Then, adjacent steel-structure unit house module buildings are connected and secured to one another through a reserved construction cavity, ultimately completing the assembly of an entire block.
