Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of modular building technology, specifically to a space capsule. Background Technology
[0002] In modern tourism, outdoor adventure, and some specialized scientific research and monitoring fields, capsule-style living facilities are gradually emerging. They aim to provide people with a unique, relatively independent, and multifunctional living experience, simulating some characteristics of the space environment, such as good sealing and a certain degree of pressure resistance, to adapt to different usage scenarios. However, currently, these capsules still face some unresolved issues in structural design, construction technology, and functional integration, limiting their wider application and performance improvement.
[0003] Despite some progress in the development of similar space capsules, many shortcomings remain. In terms of the capsule's structural shape, the corner design of a conventional cuboid is rather conventional, failing to fully consider special needs such as impact resistance optimization, aesthetics, and thermal insulation performance. Utility Model Content
[0004] Purpose of the utility model: In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a space capsule that, by optimizing the capsule structure design, improving thermal insulation performance, improving functional layout and enhancing sealing, not only has good aesthetics and impact resistance, but also provides a comfortable, safe and energy-saving user experience in various environments.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:
[0006] A space capsule includes a cabin body, which is rectangular in shape, with all eight corners and twelve sides of the cuboid having a chamfered structure. The cabin body includes: a base plate, a pair of glass curtain walls, a pair of walls, and a top plate. The pair of glass curtain walls and the pair of walls are arranged in a closed manner along the circumference of the base plate, and the pair of glass curtain walls and the pair of walls are respectively arranged perpendicular to each other. The top plate covers the pair of glass curtain walls and the walls. The pair of glass curtain walls includes: a first glass curtain wall and a second glass curtain wall, with a door and a first window respectively embedded in the first glass curtain wall and the second glass curtain wall. The pair of walls includes: a first insulated wall and a second insulated wall, with a second window provided on the first insulated wall.
[0007] Based on the above structure, the principle of the aforementioned space capsule is as follows: the capsule body is rectangular, with eight corners and twelve sides featuring chamfered edges, ensuring structural stability while reducing the risk of collision injuries from sharp corners. A pair of glass curtain walls provides excellent natural lighting inside the space capsule, while embedded doors and a first window facilitate personnel entry and exit, air circulation, and communication between the interior and exterior. The design of the first and second insulated walls effectively controls the internal temperature of the space capsule.
[0008] Furthermore, in one type of capsule in this application, the capsule is functionally divided into a toilet area, a living room area, and a bedroom area. The living room area is located between the toilet area and the bedroom area. The second insulated wall is located on one side of the toilet area, and the second glass curtain wall is located on the other side of the bedroom area. Clearly dividing the capsule into toilet, living room, and bedroom areas allows different functional areas to be independent yet organically combined. Positioning the living room area between the toilet and bedroom areas optimizes the flow of movement for people. In everyday social life, this functional zoning layout allows users to experience the convenience and comfort of a regular residence, meeting various daily needs.
[0009] Furthermore, in one type of space capsule according to this application, the base plate includes: a base plate keel layer, a support layer, and a floor decoration layer, which are arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The base plate keel layer serves as the basic frame and bears the main load-bearing function. The support layer is located above the keel layer and has good buffering and shock absorption performance. The floor decoration layer, while meeting aesthetic requirements, also has a certain protective function.
[0010] Furthermore, in one type of space capsule according to this application, the wall comprises: an inner wall layer, a wall joist layer, a wall insulation layer, and an outer wall layer, wherein the inner wall layer, wall joist layer, wall insulation layer, and outer wall layer are arranged sequentially from the inside out. The wall joist layer, as the skeleton of the wall, provides a high-strength supporting structure for the entire wall. The wall insulation layer, located in the middle of the wall, effectively blocks heat conduction and reduces heat exchange between the capsule and the external environment. The inner wall layer, primarily facing the interior space, provides a certain degree of protection for the internal facilities, preventing damage to the wall due to collisions during daily use. It also serves as a base surface for decoration, facilitating interior decoration to meet different aesthetic and functional needs.
[0011] Furthermore, in one type of space capsule according to this application, the top panel comprises: a decorative layer, a top panel keel layer, a top insulation layer, a transition layer, and a surface layer, wherein the decorative layer, top panel keel layer, top insulation layer, transition layer, and surface layer are arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The top panel keel layer, as the core framework, bears the main load-bearing function. The top insulation layer effectively prevents heat transfer between the capsule and the external environment. The decorative layer faces the interior space, beautifying the interior environment and providing a comfortable visual experience, while also offering some protection to the keel layer and insulation layer. The transition layer plays an important transition and buffering role between the insulation layer and the surface layer. This five-layer top panel design integrates multiple functions such as structural load-bearing, thermal insulation, decorative protection, and transition buffering.
[0012] Furthermore, in one type of space capsule of this application, the bottom keel layer, wall keel layer, and top keel layer mutually constitute the keel frame of the capsule. The bottom keel layer, wall keel layer, and top keel layer are interconnected to form the keel frame of the capsule, creating a stable three-dimensional support structure.
[0013] Furthermore, one type of space capsule in this application also includes a rain shelter, which is located on the outside of the first glass curtain wall and is positioned corresponding to the door. The rain shelter extends away from the capsule. The rain shelter, located on the outside of the first glass curtain wall and corresponding to the door, has the most direct function of preventing rainwater from directly hitting the door during rainy weather.
[0014] Furthermore, one type of space capsule in this application also includes: a set of support members, which are evenly spaced between the base plate and the ground to support the capsule. Regardless of whether the space capsule is placed on relatively flat or slightly undulating ground, the support members can evenly transfer the weight of the capsule to the ground, ensuring the capsule maintains a stable posture during use and preventing tilting or swaying due to uneven ground or uneven local stress. This ensures the normal operation of equipment inside the capsule and the safety of personnel activities. The support members also have a certain degree of height adjustment capability.
[0015] Furthermore, in one type of space capsule described in this application, both pairs of glass curtain walls are double-layered, hollow tempered glass curtain walls. The double-layered hollow structure forms a relatively closed air layer within the glass curtain wall, which provides both thermal insulation and a transparent, aesthetically pleasing appearance.
[0016] Furthermore, in one type of space capsule of this application, a sealing layer is provided at the joint between the outer wall layer and the surface layer, and the sealing layer is arranged along the extension direction of the joint. The primary function of the sealing layer, which is arranged along the extension direction of the joint, is to prevent rainwater, snow water, and other liquid moisture from seeping into the interior of the space capsule through the joint between the outer wall layer and the surface layer.
[0017] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] This utility model provides a space capsule. By setting the capsule body as a cuboid with all eight corners and twelve sides having chamfered structures, the structural stability is ensured while effectively reducing the risk of collision damage from sharp edges and corners. By setting a first insulation wall and a second insulation wall, the internal temperature of the space capsule can be effectively controlled. By dividing the capsule body into a bathroom area, a living room area and a bedroom area according to function, users can experience the convenience and comfort of an ordinary residence, meeting various needs of daily life.
