Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building steel structure technology, specifically to a combined box-shaped structure and its processing method. Background Technology

[0002] my country is currently experiencing rapid urbanization, with an annual completed building area of ​​1.5 to 2 billion square meters, equivalent to the total area of ​​developed Western countries. Furthermore, military personnel, field workers, and tourists may all require group living arrangements under specific conditions. Overall, China has a substantial demand for temporary group housing.

[0003] Currently, the majority of temporary buildings meeting the needs of group living are prefabricated steel structure houses. These houses utilize standardized design and construction, with major components prefabricated in factories, allowing for rapid on-site assembly and disassembly. They meet the requirements of temporary construction and are cost-effective, hence their widespread use. In recent years, container houses have begun to appear in temporary buildings meeting the needs of group living.

[0004] Prefabricated container houses offer significant improvements over prefabricated steel frame houses in terms of structural stability, sound insulation, and thermal performance. Using individual container units as structural modules, they exhibit a higher degree of integration and standardization, shortening construction time on-site. At the end of their service life, the entire container can be transported back to the factory for refurbishment and reuse. Prefabricated container houses represent a technological advancement over prefabricated steel frame houses. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention primarily addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a modular box-shaped structure and its processing method. This structure is better suited for steel structure production and processing, facilitating factory assembly and welding, and solving the problem of narrow welding gaps, thus providing more space for welding. It aligns with the modular, standardized, factory-produced, and information-based development of architecture. It reduces welding difficulty and saves material usage. Furthermore, it integrates the concept of green building into actual production.
