Therefore, it should not be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," and "overhanging" does not necessarily imply that the component must be absolutely horizontal or overhanging, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," not that the structure must be completely horizontal, but rather that it can be slightly tilted.

[0031] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, “a plurality of” means at least 2.

[0032] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0033] The present invention is described in detail and specifically below through specific embodiments to facilitate a better understanding of the present invention. However, the following embodiments do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] This embodiment discloses an integrated structure for installing an elevator shaft 3 in an old building.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment includes an old building main body 1, a steel structure foundation 2, and an elevator shaft 3. The steel structure foundation 2 is arranged on the shady side of the old building main body 1, and the elevator shaft 3 is arranged in the middle of the rear side of the steel structure foundation 2. The old building main body 1 includes several floors, and a vacant ground space 4 is provided at the first floor of the steel structure foundation 2, and a corridor 5 is provided above the first floor of the steel structure foundation 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, the old building body 1 has a total of six floors. The old building body 1 is provided with three units. The three units share one elevator. Integrating the three elevators in the prior art into one elevator can greatly reduce the noise of the elevator and reduce the construction cost.

[0038] Because the heavy steel structure on the first floor frees up existing ground floor space, significant added value is available above the second floor, allowing for the addition of carports and other structures. This also increases the added value of the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth floors. Compared to existing solutions, installing an elevator can create inconvenience in commuting, leading to dissatisfaction among ground-floor residents, forcing them to upgrade their ground floor or replace the elevator building, which results in unnecessary expenses.

[0039] The heavy steel structure leaves space below the second floor empty, which can be converted into a parking shed. This can compact parking space and standardize parking, ensuring that residents' parking spaces are not arbitrarily occupied by outside vehicles and protecting cars from rain and sun. Furthermore, if ground space permits, residents on the first floor of the complex can add a storage room of more than ten square meters. The second floor and above offer considerable added value. After renovation, dedicated space for refrigerators and washing machines can be added, providing a more comfortable living environment.

[0040] The steel structure foundation 2 is flexibly connected to the old building main body 1.

[0041] Buildings can deform and move due to a variety of factors, such as thermal expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes and shaking caused by earthquakes. Flexible connections allow the steel foundation 2 and the old building structure 1 to move and deform relative to each other under these conditions without generating excessive internal forces due to the constraints of the connection, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the entire structural system. The flexible connection can be a rubber isolation pad.

[0042] Rubber isolation pads: Rubber isolation pads are installed between the steel foundation 2 and the old building structure 1. Rubber has excellent elasticity and flexibility, allowing for a certain amount of horizontal displacement while bearing vertical loads. When an earthquake or other external force occurs, the rubber isolation pads absorb and dissipate energy, reducing the impact on the old building structure 1.

[0043] The steel structure foundation 2 is an integrated setting.

[0044] The integrated design of a heavy steel structure with an independent foundation provides safe and stable reinforcement for old buildings. In the past, there have been many cases where the installation of elevators in old buildings has damaged the building structure, potentially leading to cracks and the removal of elevators. Once cracks and structural damage occur in old buildings, they can result in significant losses.

[0045] The old building main body 1 includes a balcony 6 , which is arranged on the shady side of the old building main body 1 . Partial openings are provided on the balconies 6 above one floor, and a corridor 7 is provided between the partial openings and the balconies 6 .

[0046] Because elevator shaft 3 is located on the shady side, balcony 6 on the shady side is used to create a passageway connecting to the elevator. This partial opening and corridor 7 effectively achieve the function of providing level access to the units without affecting the daylighting on the sunny side. This partial opening minimizes damage to the overall structure of balcony 6 while meeting functional requirements, ensuring its stability.

[0047] The local opening is provided with an anti-theft door 8.

[0048] The anti-theft door 8 can effectively separate the residents' home from the corridor 7 and the elevator area, preventing strangers from entering the residents' home from the elevator or corridor 7 without permission, thereby ensuring the safety and privacy of the residents' family.

[0049] An electronic access control system is installed at the entrance of each floor of elevator shaft 3.

[0050] This can effectively prevent unauthorized outsiders from entering elevators and corridors at will, reducing the safety risks of each household and creating a safer living environment for residents.

[0051] The above detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention is intended to serve only as examples, and the present invention is not equivalent to the specific embodiments described above. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent modifications and substitutions to the present invention are also within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes and modifications made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
