[0002] An integrated house is a temporary or permanent house that can be reused and rotated multiple times, and is widely used for temporary offices and dormitories at construction sites; construction houses for large-scale field exploration and field operations in transportation, water conservancy, petroleum, natural gas, etc.

[0003] With the development of the economy and the progress of society, due to its own advantages, integrated houses are more and more used in urban commercial street shops and holiday houses, etc. With the continuous improvement of users' experience requirements, the single structure of the existing integrated houses can no longer meet the growing needs of people. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] To solve the defect that the single structure of the existing integrated house cannot meet the high experience requirements of users, the utility model proposes a telescopic open house, and the scheme is as follows:

[0005] A telescopic open house includes a floor and a main house frame arranged on the floor. The main house frame is composed of a basic house unit and N (N≥1) extended house units. The basic house unit is fixed on the floor, and the extended house units are slidably connected to the floor; the N extended house units are sequentially stacked outside the basic house unit, and the N extended house units move relative to the basic house unit to expand or reduce the house area;

[0006] When N = 1, change the moving direction of the extended house unit to overlap with the basic house unit to form an open space of the house;

[0007] When N>1, change the moving direction of the extended house unit to overlap with the basic house unit or an adjacent extended house unit to form an open space of the house.

[0008] Through the above technical solutions, the overall area of the house can be expanded or reduced by moving the extended house unit according to actual needs; by changing the moving direction of the extended house unit to overlap with the basic house unit or an adjacent extended house, an open space can be formed between the basic house unit and the extended house unit, or between the extended house units, achieving an open-air effect, which is particularly suitable for environments with sufficient sunlight or that require open-air use, meeting the needs of different environments and different seasons, etc., and greatly improving the user experience.

[0009] Furthermore, a folding door that opens and closes vertically is provided on the extended housing unit at the outer end. After the folding door is opened, it is folded and stored at the upper part of the house, which can function as a sunshade.

When the extended housing unit moves, it will not affect the display and arrangement of the items inside the house, which is different from the existing retractable integrated houses that need to empty the items inside the house before retraction and rearrange them after retraction, truly achieving the effects of strong practicality and good user experience.

[0014] Furthermore, the folding door is configured in a two - fold or three - fold structure. The bending parts of the folding door are hinged with hinges, positioning shafts are provided on both sides of the folding door, and folding door tracks are provided on the side walls that cooperate with the folding door. The positioning shafts are movably connected within the folding door tracks. In this way, the smooth opening and closing of the folding door are ensured.

[0015] Furthermore, brushes are provided between the contact surfaces of the side walls of the basic housing unit and the indoor floor, and between the contact surfaces of the side walls of the extended housing unit and the indoor floor to prevent dust and debris.

[0016] Furthermore, waterproof sealing rubber strips are provided between the contact surfaces of the walls of the basic housing unit and the walls of the extended housing unit, and between the contact surfaces of the walls of every two adjacent extended housing units to ensure the sealing, dust prevention, wind prevention, and rain prevention of the contact surfaces.

[0017] Further, the water-blocking seal strip includes a U-shaped water-blocking platform and a sealing strip fixedly arranged inside the U-shaped water-blocking platform.

[0018] Further, a door is arranged on the front wall of the basic housing unit, and windows are arranged on the side walls; windows are arranged on the side walls of the extended housing unit.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0020] The present utility model sets the main body of the housing frame into a structure composed of a basic housing unit and N (N≥1) extended housing units, fixes the basic housing unit on the floor, and the extended housing units are slidably connected to the floor; the N extended housing units are sequentially stacked outside the basic housing unit, and the N extended housing units move relative to the basic housing unit, so that the housing area can be enlarged or reduced. At the same time, by changing the moving direction of the extended housing units to separate from the basic housing unit or adjacent extended housing units, an open space of the housing can be formed, achieving an open-air effect and meeting the requirements of different environments, different seasons, different business models, etc., greatly improving the user experience and having a high commercial application prospect.

[0051] To facilitate those skilled in the art to understand the present utility model, the following describes the specific implementation manners of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] Embodiment 1

[0053] For a telescopic open house of the present utility model, the number of extended house units is not less than one. In this embodiment, taking the number of extended house units being two as an example, refer to Figures 1 to 4, this embodiment proposes a telescopic open house, which is particularly suitable for use as a store. It includes a floor and a main house frame body arranged on the floor. The main house frame body is composed of a basic house unit 1, a first extended house unit 2, and a second extended house unit 3. The basic house unit 1 is fixed on the floor, and each extended house unit is slidably connected to the floor through the connection of a slider 9 and a slide rail 10. The first extended house unit 2 and the second extended house unit 3 can be stacked layer by layer outside the basic house unit 1. The first and second extended house units 3 move relative to the basic house unit 1 to expand or contract the house area. The first and second extended house units 3 can move independently or synchronously. By changing the moving direction of the extended house units, they overlap with the basic house unit 1 or adjacent extended house units to form an open space of the house. A folding door 4 is also provided on the second extended house unit 3.

[0054] The telescopic open house of the present utility model can, according to actual needs, move the extended house units to expand or contract the overall area of the house; when the extended house units move, they can also overlap with the basic house unit 1 or adjacent extended houses, so as to form an open space between the basic house unit 1 and the extended house units, or between the extended house units, achieving an open-air effect, and can meet the needs of different environments, different seasons, different business models, etc., greatly improving the user experience and having a high commercial application prospect.

[0055] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, it shows the different usage state effects of the telescopic open house presented by different moving positions of the extended house units. Figure 1 It shows the usage effect when the basic house unit 1 is in a connected state with the first and second extended house units. At this time, the overall usable area of the house is the largest. Figure 2 is Figure 1 the state from another perspective. As Figure 3 shown, it shows that the second extended house unit 3 moves towards the basic house unit 1, and the internal usable area of the house gradually becomes smaller. The second extended house unit 3 can be stacked outside the first extended house unit 2 and completely cover the first extended house unit 2. As Figure 4 shown, it shows the effect diagram when the first extended house unit 2 moves towards the basic house. An open state, that is, an open-air effect, is presented between the first extended house unit 2 and the second extended house unit 3. The first extended house unit 2 can be stacked outside the basic house unit 1 and completely cover the basic house unit 1. As Figure 5 shown, it shows the process of both the first extended house unit 2 and the second extended house unit 3 moving towards the basic house unit 1. The last sub-diagram in the figure shows the state of the house when it is telescoped to the smallest.

[0056] Specifically, the basic housing unit 1 and each extended housing unit include a top wall and side walls on both sides. The floor includes an indoor floor 8 and an outdoor floor 6. The top wall, the side walls on both sides, and the indoor floor 8 form the internal space of the house.

[0057] A height difference is formed between the indoor floor 8 and the outdoor floor 6, that is, a step is formed. The indoor floor 8 is located above the outdoor floor 6. On the height difference, two sets of slide rails 10 respectively corresponding to the two extended housing units are longitudinally arranged. The slide rails 10 are arranged on the side surfaces of the steps on both the left and right sides. A slider 9 cooperating with the slide rails 10 is installed at the lower part of the side wall. See Figure 6 、 7 , and the slide rails 10 are longitudinally arranged. In this way, the connection between the extended housing unit and the floor is on the side, and the display items in the house are arranged on the indoor floor 8. When the extended housing unit moves, it will not affect the arrangement of the display items inside the house, which is different from the existing retractable integrated houses that need to empty the display items inside the house before retraction and rearrange them after retraction in place. It truly achieves strong practicability, can quickly retract and expand to change the size of the house at any time, and provides a good user experience.

[0058] The retractable open house of the present application can control the movement of each extended housing unit relative to the basic housing unit through a control system, and can realize the intelligent control of the retraction and opening of the house. The control system adopts the existing control method and will not be elaborated here.

[0059] Brush strips 11 are provided between the contact surfaces of the side walls of the basic housing unit 1 and the indoor floor 8, and between the contact surfaces of the side walls of the extended housing unit and the indoor floor 8 to prevent dust and impurities. As Figure 8 、 9 shown, in this embodiment, the brush strips 11 are fixed on the indoor floor 8 by screws, and the slider 9 is omitted in the figure.

[0060] Waterproof sealing rubber strips 12 are provided between the contact surfaces of the walls of the basic housing unit 1 and the extended housing unit, and between the contact surfaces of the walls of every two adjacent extended housing units to ensure the sealing, dust prevention, wind prevention, and rain prevention of the contact surfaces. As Figures 9 to 11 shown, in this embodiment, the waterproof sealing rubber strip 12 includes a U-shaped water retaining platform and a sealing strip fixedly arranged in the U-shaped water retaining platform.

[0061] Furthermore, a folding door 4 is installed on the second extended housing unit 3. After the folding door 4 is opened, it is folded and stored at the upper part of the house, and can function as a sunshade or a rainshade. When the extended housing units are all retracted and stacked outside the basic housing unit, at this time, the overall area of the house is the smallest, and the folding door 4 can be used as the door of the retractable open house. Specifically, the folding door can be an electric folding door driven by a motor.

[0062] Specifically, the folding door 4 is arranged in a two-fold or three-fold structure. The bending part of the folding door 4 is hinged by a hinge, positioning shafts are arranged on both sides of the folding door 4, and a folding door track 14 is arranged on the side wall of the side body cooperating with the folding door 4. The positioning shafts are movably connected in the folding door track 14. In this way, the smooth opening and closing of the folding door 4 is ensured.

[0063] As Figures 13 to 15 shown, the folding door 4 is arranged in a form of two folds. When folding, the two folds extend outwards relative to the second extended housing unit 3 to complete the folding.

[0064] As Figures 16 to 18 shown, the folding door 4 is arranged in another form of two folds. When folding, the two folds retract inwards relative to the second extended housing unit 3 to complete the folding.

[0065] Specifically, as Figure 19 , 20 shown, positioning shafts 15 are arranged at both ends of the upper sub-folding door and both ends of the lower sub-folding door. The positioning shafts 15 are all movably connected in the folding door track 14. Further, the upper positioning shaft 15 rotates only within a part of the folding door track 14 through a limiting member, and the lower positioning shaft 15 can slide up and down in the folding door track 14, thereby driving the overall opening and closing of the folding door 4. The motor is connected to the lower positioning shaft 15 through a coupling, and the motor drives the positioning shaft 15 to move in the folding door track 14 to realize the opening and closing of the folding door 4.

[0066] As Figures 21 to 23 shown, the folding door 4 is arranged in three folds. When folding, it is folded in an approximate Z shape from top to bottom.

[0067] Further, a door 7 (see Figure 2 ) is arranged on the front wall of the basic housing unit 1, and a window 5 (see Figure 1 ) is arranged on the side wall; a window 5 (see Figure 1 ) is arranged on the side wall of the extended housing unit.

[0068] Embodiment 2

[0069] For the telescopic open housing of this Embodiment 2, the number of extended housing units is not less than one. In this embodiment, two extended housing units are taken as an example.

[0070] The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that a folding door 7 is not arranged outside the second extended housing unit 3, but an embedded third extended housing unit 16 is added. The same parts as in Embodiment 1 will not be described again.

[0071] Refer to Figures 24 to 29The present embodiment provides a telescopic open house, which is particularly suitable for use as a holiday home, including a floor and a house frame body arranged on the floor. The house frame body is composed of a basic house unit 1, a first expansion house unit 2, and a second expansion house unit. The basic house unit 1 is fixed on the floor, and each expansion house unit is slidably connected to the floor by a connection method of a slider 9 and a slide rail 10. The first expansion house unit 2 and the second expansion house unit 3 can be stacked layer by layer on the outside of the basic house unit 1, and the first and second expansion house units 3 move relative to the basic house unit 1 to expand or reduce the house area. The first and second expansion house units 3 can move individually or synchronously, and the open space of the house is formed by changing the moving direction of the expansion house unit to be stacked with the basic house unit 1 or the adjacent expansion house unit. The second expansion house unit 3 located at the outer end is also provided with an embedded third expansion house unit 16, which is slidably connected to the floor and can move relative to the second expansion house unit 3.

[0072] An embedded third expansion house unit 16 is arranged outside the second expansion house unit 3, considering that it is troublesome to install and route various electronic equipment such as televisions and household appliances in the house. Through such an arrangement, the electronic equipment can be centrally installed and routed in the embedded expansion house unit. Further, the indoor area of ​​the embedded third expansion house unit 16 can be smaller than the area of ​​the basic house unit 1 and each expansion house unit, which can meet the requirements of setting up a TV wall, facilitating the installation of a TV, and installing and routing other electronic equipment.

[0073] like Figures 24 to 29 As shown, different telescopic open house usage status effects presented by different moving positions of the expanded house units are demonstrated. Figure 24 It shows the use effect of the basic house unit 1 and the first, second and third expansion house units in a connected state. At this time, the overall usable area of ​​the house is the largest. Figure 25 yes Figure 24 Another perspective of the state. Figure 26 As shown in the figure, the third expansion house unit 16 is stationary, the second expansion house unit 3 moves toward the basic house unit 1, and the house is in an open state, that is, an open-air effect, until the second expansion house unit 3 is superimposed on the outside of the first expansion house unit 2 and completely covers the first expansion house unit 2. Figure 27 As shown, the second and third expansion housing units 16 are stationary, and the first expansion housing unit 2 moves toward the basic housing. The first expansion housing unit 2 and the second expansion housing unit 3 are open to each other, i.e., open-air, until the first expansion housing unit 2 is superimposed on the outside of the basic housing unit 1 and completely covers the basic housing unit 1.Figure 28 As shown, it shows the process in which the third extended housing unit 16 remains stationary while the first extended housing unit 2 and the second extended housing unit 3 both move towards the basic housing unit 1. As Figure 29 shown, it shows the process in which the first, second, and third extended housing units 16 all move towards the basic housing unit 1, where the last sub-diagram in the figure shows the state of the housing when it is retracted to the smallest size.
