Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of space capsules, and in particular to space capsule assembly modules. Background Technology
[0002] Space capsules are becoming increasingly popular outdoor mobile homestays, used for people to enjoy leisure or stay at outdoor attractions.
[0003] Currently, most space capsules on the market are manufactured and transported by assembling the entire space capsule in a factory, forming a single unit, and then transporting the entire space capsule to the place of use. When using this production and transportation method, because the overall size of the space capsule is relatively large, the overall transportation requires the use of large trucks and containers. However, the road conditions at many tourist attractions are poor, making transportation very inconvenient and costly.
[0004] Currently, there are several solutions that enable the disassembly, assembly, and transportation of the space capsule. For example, a Chinese utility model patent (publication number: CN219509293U) discloses a modular homestay space capsule, which includes a first bottom support. The right side of the first bottom support is horizontally fixedly connected to a second bottom support, a third bottom support, and a fourth bottom support by bolts. T-shaped support legs are fixedly installed on the outer bottom of the first and fourth bottom supports by bolts. T-shaped support legs are also fixedly connected to the bottom of the second bottom support and / or the third bottom support by bolts. This modular disassembly of the one-piece homestay space capsule into multiple modular components for assembly solves the problem of large size and inconvenient transportation. The smaller modules facilitate transportation on rural roads, eliminating the need for large transportation and hoisting equipment and reducing installation costs.
[0005] While the aforementioned patent solves the transportation problem by modularizing the homestay space capsules, its essence is to assemble the metal frame on-site and then lay various wall panels, which is a traditional building assembly mode. Since the space capsules have requirements for heat preservation and waterproofing, on-site installation is also required for laying insulation layers, power lines, and perfecting waterproofing (such as applying waterproof sealant on-site). These on-site installation processes are very complicated and require professional technicians to handle them. The installation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and also requires the use of various consumables, which is not conducive to cleaning and environmental protection.
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this application is: how to provide a modular prefabricated space capsule that is convenient to transport and install. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a space capsule prefabricated module that is convenient to transport and install.
[0008] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0009] The space capsule prefabricated module includes unit modules. Multiple unit modules are assembled to form the space capsule wall or top. Each unit module has a connecting seat along its outer edge. Adjacent unit modules can be detached and installed through the connecting seat. Each unit module includes at least two layers of aluminum plates. An insulation layer is filled between two adjacent aluminum plates. The connecting seat, aluminum plates, and insulation layer are integrated into one unit.
[0010] The connector is provided with a protrusion or a groove, and adjacent connectors are provided with corresponding grooves or protrusions to achieve mating.
[0011] The connector has a serrated or wavy part, and the serrated or wavy parts of adjacent connectors are mated together.
[0012] The groove is provided with an adhesive strip, which is interference-fitted with the protrusion.
[0013] The connector is provided with a drainage groove, and the gap between adjacent connectors is connected to the drainage groove, which is located inside the rubber strip.
[0014] The insulation layer is formed by filling rock wool, glass wool, and polyurethane materials.
[0015] The insulation layer is formed by foaming insulation material between aluminum plates.
[0016] The unit module is equipped with a wiring sleeve, which is installed in the insulation layer and penetrates the unit module.
[0017] The connecting seat is provided with a connector, and adjacent connecting seats can be detachably installed via the connector. The unit module is detachably connected to the space capsule frame via the connecting seat and the connector.
[0018] The connector is one or more of the following: corner bracket assembly, screw assembly, and screw.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the wall and ceiling are disassembled into several modules, and the pre-made module units are manufactured in the factory. The size of the modules is much smaller than the entire space capsule, and only the module units need to be transported, which greatly facilitates transportation and reduces transportation costs. At the same time, the pre-made unit modules are easy to install on site. The module units include insulation layers, sealing strips, and drainage structures, and only simple assembly is required on site. There is no need for construction engineering steps for insulation and waterproofing. Therefore, there is no need to assign professional construction workers or bring consumables such as waterproof glue for on-site construction. The installation is convenient, quick, and environmentally friendly. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example
[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 9 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0036] The modular assembled space capsule includes a space capsule frame 1, walls 2 and a top 3. The walls 2 and the top 3 are assembled from multiple unit modules 21 that can be disassembled.
[0037] The space capsule frame 1 includes a base frame 11, a crossbeam 12, and a column 13. The base frame 11, crossbeam 12, and column 13 are detachably assembled from profiles. The base frame 11 is laid at the bottom to provide support. The crossbeam 12 is spliced into a rectangular frame. The two ends of the unit module 21 that forms the wall are detachably installed to the crossbeam 12 and the base frame 11, respectively. The two ends of the unit module 21 that forms the top are detachably installed to the crossbeam 12, respectively.
[0038] The unit module 21 includes two aluminum plates 22, with an insulation layer 23 filling the space between the two aluminum plates 22. The two aluminum plates 22 and the insulation layer 23 are integrally formed. The unit module 21 is provided with connecting seats 4 on all four sides. Each connecting seat 4 is provided with a connector 41. Adjacent connecting seats 4 can be detachably installed via connectors 41. The unit module 21 can be detachably connected to the crossbeam 12 and the base frame 11 via the connecting seats 4 and connectors 41.
[0039] In this embodiment, the connector 41 uses a screw assembly and screws.
[0040] Unit module 21 has a pre-set wiring sleeve in the insulation layer 23. The wiring sleeve penetrates the insulation layer 23. In actual production of this embodiment, the insulation layer 23 is made of polyurethane foam. Between the foaming of the insulation layer 23, the connecting seat 4 and the aluminum plate 22 form a cavity. The screw assembly and the wiring sleeve are pre-embedded in the cavity and pass through it. The polyurethane foam material is filled into the cavity, and the polyurethane foam fills the entire cavity to form the insulation layer 23.
[0041] In this embodiment, the assembled space capsule is approximately 12 meters long, 3.3 meters high, and 3.8 meters deep. Based on these specifications, the unit module 21 in this embodiment is set to 1.2m*0.8m. This specification of unit module 21 is convenient for transportation, and the number of modules to be assembled will not be too large.
[0042] The connecting seat 4 is detachably installed with the crossbeam 12. The connecting piece 41 uses screws to achieve screw connection and fixation between the connecting seat 4 and the crossbeam 12.
[0043] The connector 4 has a groove 43, and the crossbeam 12 has a corresponding protrusion 42 to achieve a mating fit. The groove 43 has an adhesive strip 44, which is press-fitted to the protrusion 42. The adhesive strip 44 is pre-installed in the connector 4, so good sealing and waterproofing are achieved when installing the wall module unit 21 and the unit module 21, without the need for additional glue application.
[0044] The connector 4 is provided with a drainage groove 45, and the gap between adjacent connectors 4 is connected to the drainage groove 45. The drainage groove 45 is located inside the rubber strip 44. The drainage groove 45 provides a secondary waterproofing effect. When water passes through the rubber strip 44, the water will be guided into the drainage groove 45 and discharged outward from the drainage groove 45.
[0045] A light strip 6 is installed on the outer side of the crossbeam 12. The light strip 6 is located on the outer side and covers the screw position, so that no screws are exposed on the outside of the space capsule. In addition, the light strip 6 itself has a high degree of aesthetics.
[0046] The connecting seat 4 is screwed to the base frame 11, and is also equipped with a light strip 6 for covering and decoration.
[0047] In this embodiment, the connection between adjacent unit modules 21 is achieved using a connecting member 41 as a screw assembly. The screw assembly includes a screw 7 and a mounting sleeve 71. The two ends of the screw 7 are respectively configured as a threaded section 72 and an adjustment port 73. The threaded section 72 and the mounting sleeve 71 are threadedly engaged. The mounting sleeve 71 is fixedly installed in the connecting seat 4. The screw 7 passes through the unit module 21 to the adjacent unit module 21. The adjustment port 73 is fixedly installed in the adjacent unit module 21. That is, the adjustment port 73 and the threaded section 72 are respectively installed in two adjacent unit modules 21. During installation, by applying a rotational force to the adjustment port 73, the screw 7 and the threaded section 72 are driven to rotate, achieving threaded engagement with the threaded section and the mounting sleeve 71. This allows for changes in the distance between the two adjacent unit modules 21, which can effectively ensure a tight assembly of the two adjacent unit modules 21, greatly improving the sealing performance of the assembly between the unit modules 21.
[0048] The base frame 11 is made of steel to ensure load-bearing capacity and stability, and the insulation material is polyurethane or glass wool.
[0049] Several mounting feet 14 are provided below the base frame 11. The mounting feet 14 are equipped with a height adjustment structure. By adjusting the height of the mounting feet 14, the problem of uneven ground in some installation sites can be solved, ensuring that the base frame 11 is level.
[0050] Using the technical solution of this embodiment, during on-site installation, the base frame 11 is first assembled, and the columns 13 and crossbeams 12 are installed on the base frame 11 to complete the installation of the space capsule frame 1. Subsequently, the unit modules 21 are assembled on the space capsule frame 1 to complete the walls and top, thereby completing the assembly of the space capsule. The entire installation process is a simple mechanical assembly, which is quick and environmentally friendly. Example
[0051] like Figures 10 to 13 As shown, the modular assembled space capsule includes a space capsule frame 1, walls 2 and a top 3. The walls 2 and the top 3 are assembled from multiple unit modules 21 that can be disassembled.
[0052] Unit module 21 has a pre-set wiring sleeve in the insulation layer 23. The wiring sleeve penetrates the insulation layer 23. In actual production of this embodiment, the insulation layer 23 is made of polyurethane foam. Between the foaming of the insulation layer 23, the connecting seat 4 and the aluminum plate 22 form a cavity. The wiring sleeve is pre-embedded in the cavity and passes through it. The polyurethane foam material is filled into the cavity. The polyurethane foam fills the entire cavity to form the insulation layer 23.
[0053] The space capsule frame 1 includes a base frame 11, a crossbeam 12, and a column 13. The base frame 11, the crossbeam 12, and the column 13 are detachably assembled from metal profiles. The base frame 11 is laid at the bottom to provide support. The crossbeam 12 is spliced into a rectangular frame. The two ends of the unit module 21 are detachably installed to the crossbeam 12 and the base frame 11, respectively.
[0054] In this embodiment, the connector 41 uses a corner bracket assembly and screws.
[0055] The connecting seat 4 and the crossbeam 12 are detachable and can be installed separately. All connecting parts 41 use corner brackets and screws to fix the connecting seat 4 and the crossbeam 12.
[0056] The connector 4 has a groove 43, and the crossbeam 12 has a corresponding protrusion 42 to achieve a mating fit. The groove 43 has an adhesive strip 44, which is press-fitted to the protrusion 42. The adhesive strip 44 is pre-installed in the connector 4, and the installation unit module 21 achieves good sealing and waterproofing effects without the need for additional glue application.
[0057] The connector 4 is provided with a drainage groove 45, and the gap between adjacent connectors 4 is connected to the drainage groove 45. The drainage groove 45 is located inside the rubber strip 44. The drainage groove 45 provides a secondary waterproofing effect. When water passes through the rubber strip 44, the water will be guided into the drainage groove 45 and discharged outward from the drainage groove 45.
[0058] A light strip 6 is installed on the outer side of the crossbeam 12. The light strip 6 is located on the outer side and covers the screw position, so that no screws are exposed on the outside of the space capsule. In addition, the light strip 6 itself has a high degree of aesthetics.
[0059] The corner bracket assembly includes a corner bracket body 9, which is a right-angle corner bracket. The corner bracket body 9 is provided with a corner bracket mounting base 91. The corner bracket mounting base 91 is provided with a corner bracket mounting hole 92 and a corner bracket mounting nail 93. The corner bracket mounting nail 93 passes through the corner bracket mounting base 91 and the corner bracket mounting hole 92 for screwing and fixing in the installation position.
[0060] The installation process in this embodiment is the same as in embodiment 1, except that corner bracket components are used for installation. The installation of corner bracket components is more convenient and less costly.
[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
