[0002] As a facility connecting two buildings, a connecting corridor provides convenient pedestrian access while enhancing the building's aesthetics and functionality. Currently, connecting corridors are typically fixed, meaning they cannot be moved or relocated once built, which limits their flexibility and adaptability. For areas such as factories and industrial parks, or in situations requiring temporary isolation due to severe weather or other reasons, fixed connecting corridors may pose safety hazards or inconvenience.

[0003] Therefore, the existing connecting corridor structure needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art should understand that this application can be implemented without certain specific details. In some instances, methods, means, components, and circuits well-known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this application.

[0045] Example

[0046] Next, combine Figures 1-7 To describe the retractable walkway proposed in this application.

[0047] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of an intelligent retractable corridor according to an embodiment of this application.

[0048] The retractable walkway includes multiple cells, including at least one fixed cell 120 and movable cells (130, 140) slidably connected to the fixed cell 120. The movable cells (130, 140) include an extended state where the retractable walkway 100 is closed and a retracted state where the prefabricated intelligent mobile sunroom 100 is opened.

[0049] The retractable walkway also includes a drive system for moving the movable cells (130, 140, or 150, 160) between an extended state and a retracted state (state transitions). Preferably, the drive system includes a drive motor and a transmission mechanism driven by the drive motor, the transmission mechanism being used to convert the rotational motion of the drive motor into parallel movement of the movable cells. In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism includes a gear and a rack (i.e., including a gear and a rack that meshes with the gear), the gear and rack engaging.

[0050] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 The active cell shown includes active cells (140, 150) and driven cells (130, 160) driven by the active cells. There are two active cells: a first active cell 140 and a second active cell 150. The driven cells include a driven cell 130 connected to the first active cell 140 and a driven cell 160 connected to the second active cell 150. The fixed cells include a fixed cell 120 connected to the driven cell 130 and a fixed cell 170 connected to the driven cell 160. Each active cell is equipped with a drive motor 180 (see...). Figure 7The first and second active cells are driven by their respective drive motors to open or close the connecting corridor. For example, when a signal is received indicating that the connecting corridor needs to be opened, the first and second active cells are driven to move towards their respective fixed cells.

[0051] Understandably, the retractable walkway 100 can consist of two or more sets of cells, each set containing fixed cells, movable cells, and a corresponding electric drive system. Alternatively, it can consist of a single set of cells, such as... Figure 1a As shown. Figure 1b The image shown is a 3D representation with a group of cells hidden. Figure 1c The image shows a schematic of setting the drive motor in the first active cell. Figure 1d This is an enlarged view of point B in 1c. The drive motor 180 is located on the side of the first active cell near the first driven cell. The output end of the drive motor 180 is connected to a gear 191, which meshes with the rack 192 of the transmission mechanism 190. The rack 192 is mounted on the track 114 (e.g., on the side of the track 114).

[0052] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 A first sealing strip 149 is provided on the outer side of the first active cell 140, and a second sealing strip 159 is provided on the outer side of the second active cell 150. The first sealing strip 149 and the second sealing strip 159 (collectively referred to as sealing strips) are respectively fixed to the corresponding active cell using adhesives (such as glue). When the connecting corridor is closed, the first sealing strip 149 and the second sealing strip 159 abut against each other to seal the corridor (e.g., to prevent rainwater from entering). Preferably, the sealing strips are made of EPDM rubber. Preferably, the cells are connected by a seal (the gaps between them can be filled with EPDM rubber sealing strips).

[0053] The following description uses the example of connecting corridor 100, which can be fixed to the ground in two groups, as an example. See [link to documentation]. Figures 1-4 .

[0054] The connecting corridor 100 includes a track module 110, which is set on the ground for installing the connecting corridor. The track module 110 includes a support component 111, which includes a stacked steel plate 115, a first support component 111a and a second support component 111b. The steel plate 115 is located between the first support component 111a and the second support component 111b. The steel plate 115 is fixed to the surface of the first support component 111a by fasteners 113 (such as stainless steel bolts).

[0055] The connecting corridor includes a fixed cell 120, a first driven cell 130, a first active cell 140 stacked on the fixed cell 120, a fixed cell 170, a second driven cell 160, and a second active cell 150 on the fixed fan 170.

[0056] The movable cell is located inside the fixed cell, and the first active cell 140 is located inside the second active cell 150 (for a side view, see Figure 3 ). In this embodiment, both the fixed cell and the movable cell are in the shape of an arch bridge. Each cell includes multiple support frames. The multi-section support frame includes a bottom frame close to the track module and a side frame connected to the bottom frame at an angle (such as 90°). The bottom frame is parallel to the support surface of the support component and can slide on the track module. The profiles of the bottom frame and the side frame are made of aluminum profiles (such as model 6061-T6).

[0057] Taking the fixed cell 120 as an example (see Figure 3 and Figure 4 ), it includes a side frame 122. One end of the side frame 122 is connected to the bottom frame 122a, and the bottom frame 122a is fixed on the support component 111. The other side of the side frame 122 is connected to the cross beam 124 through a connecting piece. The cross beam 124 has a certain curvature and is in a C shape or a U shape. A plurality of transverse support beams 125 are evenly arranged between the multiple cross beams. A transparent polycarbonate plate (such as solid transparent polycarbonate with a thickness between 6-8 mm) is embedded between the multiple cross beams and between the multi-section support frames. That is, the top and facade panels of the fixed cell adopt transparent polycarbonate plates. It has weather resistance while ensuring lighting. The transparent polycarbonate plate is double-sided hardened and double-sided UV, so that its aging durability is not less than ten years.

[0058] The retractable connecting corridor further includes a power supply unit, electrically connected to the control board, including a power supply line and a voltage conversion module for converting mains power into low-voltage direct current. Preferably, it uses 24V low-voltage power supply, which improves the safety of power supply. In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , the drive motor 141b is a DC motor, which is small in size and is directly arranged in the bottom frame 141a of the active cell. This reduces the risks of rain erosion and aging caused by external motors and does not affect the overall appearance. In this embodiment, the drive system includes 2 drive motors respectively arranged on the bottom frames of the active cells. The active cell moves and drives the driven movable fan to move in a predetermined direction and at a predetermined speed, and this process does not require manual participation. In one embodiment, the power supply unit further includes an emergency power supply module, which is electrically connected to the control board and serves as a backup for the mains power. When the mains power fails, the emergency power supply module is triggered to open or close the connecting corridor. The control board is connected to the fire control module to achieve fire linkage.

[0059] The track module 110 is laid on the support surface. The track module 110 also includes two parallel guide rails (114, 114a), which are partially fixed to the steel plate 115 (e.g., welded to the steel plate 115) and embedded in the second support component. Preferably, the guide rail has an I-shaped cross-section. The bottom frame 141a of the first active cell 140 is slidably fixed to the guide rail 114a, and the bottom frame 131a of the first driven cell 130 is slidably fixed to the guide rail 114. The guide rail is made of steel and has a hot-dip galvanized surface for rust and corrosion prevention, capable of withstanding the rolling and rolling motion of a 50-ton truck. The track is also equipped with pulleys.

[0060] A linkage mechanism is provided between the active cell and the passive cell to transfer the movement of the active cell to the passive cell. This linkage mechanism is disclosed in the prior art, such as CN110159008A, and will not be described here.

[0061] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this application, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this application and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application. All modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the main technical solution of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
