The bottom form of the steel truss floor deck 25 is welded to the steel frame with studs. After pouring concrete, the floor slab in the module is formed as a whole. After the concrete has set, the ground decoration layer 24 in the module can be constructed.

[0096] (5) Assemble the module frame, integrated wall panel 15, top plate 18 and steel truss floor deck 25 together to form MIC module, and conduct acceptance inspection to check the size, appearance quality and anti-corrosion coating.

[0103] Specifically, in step S2(4): the installation of the suspended ceiling 23:

[0104] Marking lines: Use a level to mark horizontal points on each corner of the room and mark the level line. Measure from the level line to the designed height of the ceiling plus the material thickness, and use a chalk line to mark the level line along the wall. This is the bottom line of the secondary joists of the ceiling.

[0105] Fixed hanging rods: The hanging rods are fixed with expansion bolts. The hanging rods are rust-proofed and fixed to the top plate 18 with expansion bolts. Holes are drilled with an impact hammer, and the hole diameter is larger than the diameter of the expansion bolt.

[0106] Install hanging rods on the module frame;

[0107] Install the edge keel: The edge keel should be installed according to the design requirements. The L-shaped galvanized light steel strips should be fixed to the wall with self-tapping screws along the horizontal keel line on the wall. The wall should be fixed with nails. The spacing of the nails should not be greater than the spacing of the secondary keel of the ceiling.

[0108] Install the main keel: The main keel should be suspended on the hanger rod. The main keel should be extended by butt joint. The butt joints of adjacent keels should be staggered. After the main keel is installed, it should be basically leveled.

[0109] Install secondary keel: The secondary keel is installed tightly against the main keel;

[0110] Installation of integrated bathroom unit 22:

[0111] Inspect the work surface, check whether the profiles around the chassis of the integrated bathroom 22 are deformed, whether the floor tiles are intact and without cracks, whether the tiled wall panels have chipped edges or corners, and whether there are cracks at the opening positions.

[0112] Laying out lines: chassis positioning lines and elevation lines of the completed installation surface;

[0113] The process includes: connecting and assembling the chassis drainage pipes; splicing and leveling the chassis; connecting pipelines before installing the wall panels; installing the wall panels according to the drawings; installing electrical systems on the ceiling; installing hardware, sanitary ware, and components on the ceiling and roof joists; finishing and cleaning the edges.

[0114] This invention provides a modular MIC building with a wide field of vision, high comfort, and the following advantages:

[0115] 1. Adjacent MIC modules are stacked vertically or side-by-side via connecting node devices, ensuring the stability of the connection between adjacent MIC modules, avoiding on-site welding, and improving installation efficiency. At the same time, horizontal and vertical connections can be made between MIC modules to strengthen the connection structure. The adjustable part can adjust the position of the fixing part 3, thereby adjusting the position of the first connecting part and the second connecting part 9 relative to the steel module building connection components, which is convenient for adjusting errors during installation. It can also be disassembled and reused, making it more environmentally friendly.

[0116] 2.

At the same time, the integrated wall panel 15, top plate 18 and steel truss floor deck 25 are also prefabricated structures, and the concrete base plate is poured in the factory, reducing on-site concrete pouring operations and improving on-site installation efficiency.

[0117] 3. Factory-installed integrated wall panels 15 is one of the requirements of MIC modular buildings. Its core value lies in: ensuring controllable quality of wall panels, reducing construction period, eliminating on-site wet work, reducing construction costs, saving labor, saving management expenses, reducing on-site installation accidents, reducing carbon emissions, and achieving integrated insulation, sound insulation, and surface decoration. It is the preferred solution for green and low-carbon projects.

[0118] 4. After the MIC modules are hoisted as a whole on site, they are connected by bolts to form a modular integrated prefabricated building structure system. Modular integrated buildings can complete more than 90% of the construction work in the factory. On site, only a small amount of work such as hoisting, handling pipeline connections at module splicing points and decoration is required.

[0119] 5. This application also includes a protective component 26, which has fireproof and waterproof effects.

[0120] 6. This invention is innovative, technologically advanced, easy to construct, highly flexible, safe and reliable, of excellent quality, economical, widely applicable, and highly adaptable. It conforms to current national policies and development directions and has a bright prospect for promotion. Through the above construction measures, the MIC module can be constructed in multiple layers, which is of profound significance for promoting technological progress in this industry and improving the technical level of enterprises.

[0121] In conclusion, this application represents a significant practice in industrialized building and intelligent construction. Its core function lies in systematically addressing numerous pain points of traditional construction methods in terms of efficiency, quality, safety, environmental protection, and labor dependence through factory prefabrication and rapid on-site assembly. Practical application has demonstrated that it significantly shortens construction time, improves building quality and precision, enhances construction safety, reduces environmental pollution, and offers excellent cost-effectiveness and flexibility. It is particularly suitable for projects with high requirements for schedule, quality, and environmental protection, or those facing limited site conditions. It represents a crucial trend in the construction industry's transformation towards greater efficiency, greener practices, and smarter technologies.
