Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of container technology, specifically a modular housing container with staggered construction. Background Technology

[0002] With the deep integration of industrialized construction and green sustainable development concepts, traditional building methods are facing an urgent need for transformation and upgrading. As an important component of green building systems, container houses, with their advantages of modular design, standardized factory production, and prefabricated construction, achieve short on-site construction cycles, minimal weather restrictions, convenient and flexible transportation, reusability, and zero loss during relocation and disassembly, perfectly aligning with the low-carbon and environmentally friendly development direction of the construction industry.

[0003] Existing modular housing container assembly methods have significant limitations: vertical assembly, while improving space utilization, results in a monotonous appearance and lacks flexibility; horizontal tandem assembly, while suitable for single-story needs, struggles to overcome land resource constraints. Personalized design of modular housing containers can be achieved through staggered or cantilevered vertical assembly, but such designs often result in insufficient support strength for the bottom container. To address these issues, and to achieve efficient space utilization within limited areas while also accommodating personalized design, a staggered modular housing container design is proposed to solve the problem of insufficient strength of the bottom container in vertical assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing standard shipping containers in vertically staggered modular assembly by providing a staggered modular housing container. In its modular assembly, corner brackets and reinforcing beams are added to the top side beams of the bottom container to increase the overall top load-bearing capacity of the bottom container module. The added corner brackets and reinforcing beams stabilize the container structure, ensuring the safe stacking of the upper staggered container units and improving the assembly accuracy between container modules.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a staggered modular housing container, comprising multiple standard single containers stacked to form a structure of at least two layers, wherein a pair of standardized corner brackets are arranged side by side on each top side beam of the first layer of single containers; wherein, the top side beam is a top longitudinal main beam parallel to the long side of the container in the length direction; a leveling box is fixedly connected below the two standardized corner brackets, and the lower end face of the leveling box is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the reinforcing beam; the reinforcing beam is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the container.

[0006] Furthermore, the two adjacent faces of each pair of standardized corner pieces are welded together, and the top side beam is cut off at the corner piece installation position and then welded and fixed to the corner piece.

[0007] Furthermore, the standardized corner piece is located at the center of the top side beam.

[0008] Furthermore, the width of the standard single container is half its length.

[0009] Furthermore, the reinforcing beam has a snap-fit ​​structure, with its side fixedly connected to the inner wall of the container to form a closed cavity; the reinforcing beam has polyurethane foam holes, through which polyurethane foam is filled into the closed cavity.

[0010] Furthermore, the cavity formed at the staggered joint between two adjacent standard single containers is filled with rock wool and polyurethane foam, and the outer surface of the joint is covered with a waterproof sealing strip with adhesive on one side.

[0011] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing beam is Ω-shaped.

[0012] Furthermore, the thickness of the leveling box matches the height difference of the added corner pieces, so that the top surface of the added corner pieces is on the same mounting plane as the original corner pieces of the single container.

[0013] Furthermore, two adjacent standard single containers are rigidly fixed by opening through holes in the corresponding container frame beams (top side beam, bottom side beam, or end beam) and using high-strength bolts to connect them.

[0014] Furthermore, the staggered modular housing container consists of two layers, each layer comprising a rectangular plane formed by splicing together six standard individual containers, and the upper and lower rectangular planes are of the same size.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages.

[0016] This invention adds corner pieces and reinforcing beams to the top side beams of the bottom container in a vertical modular assembly to enhance the overall top load-bearing capacity of the bottom container module, thus enabling more ways to vertically stagger and combine containers.

[0017] This invention stabilizes the container structure by adding corner brackets and reinforcing beams, ensuring the safe stacking of the upper container and improving the assembly accuracy between container modules. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the attached figures (see attached figures). Figure 1-5 This invention describes the implementation of a modular housing container. It comprises multiple standard single-unit containers 1 stacked to form at least two layers. Each top side beam 3 of the first layer of single-unit containers has a pair of standardized corner brackets 2 arranged side-by-side. The top side beams are longitudinal main beams parallel to the long side of the container. A leveling box 4 is fixedly connected below the two standardized corner brackets 2, and the lower end face of the leveling box 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of a reinforcing beam 6. The reinforcing beam 6 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall 101 of the container.

[0027] Preferably, the two adjacent faces of each pair of standardized corner pieces 2 are welded together, and the top side beam 3 is cut off at the corner piece installation position and then welded and fixed to the corner piece; and the standardized corner piece pair is located at the middle position of the top side beam 3.

[0028] Preferably, the width of the standard single container 1 is half its length.

[0029] Preferably, the reinforcing beam 6 is a snap-fit ​​structure, with its side fixedly connected to the inner wall 101 of the container to form a closed cavity; polyurethane foam holes 5 are provided on the reinforcing beam 6, and polyurethane foam 8 is filled into the closed cavity through the polyurethane foam holes 5. The cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing beam is Ω-shaped.

[0030] Preferably, the cavity formed at the staggered splicing joint between two adjacent standard single containers is filled with rock wool and polyurethane foam 8, and the outer surface of the splice seam is covered with a waterproof sealing strip with adhesive on one side.

[0031] Preferably, the thickness of the leveling box 4 matches the height difference of the added corner pieces, so that the top surface of the added corner piece 2 is on the same mounting plane as the original corner pieces of the single container.

[0032] Preferably, two adjacent standard single containers are rigidly fixed by opening through holes in the corresponding container frame beams (top side beam, bottom side beam, or end beam) and using high-strength bolts to connect them.

[0033] Preferably, the staggered modular housing container consists of two layers, each layer including a rectangular plane formed by splicing six standard single containers 1, and the upper and lower rectangular planes have the same size.

[0034] The embodiment uses a 20-foot standard container (6058mm long) as a base, reducing the width to 3029mm (half the length) to ensure road transport compliance. By shortening the width, the lateral support strength of stacked containers of two or more layers is improved, reducing the risk of deformation caused by wind loads or eccentric loads.

[0035] By adding corner fittings 2 to the single container 1, specifically, a pair of standardized corner fittings 2 are welded to each of the two top side beams 3 of the first layer single container 1. The corner fittings are preferably located in the middle of the top side beams 3, and are used for the support and fixation of the upper container body.

[0036] The leveling box 4 is welded below corner piece 2. Its thickness is calculated based on the height difference between corner piece 2 and the original corner piece to ensure that the top surfaces of all corner pieces are coplanar, which facilitates the stacking of the upper container in a horizontal position and is beneficial to the stability of the container after stacking.

[0037] The lower end face of the leveling box 4 is welded to the top of the reinforcing beam 6, and the side of the reinforcing beam 6 is welded to the inner wall 101 of the container. The body of the reinforcing beam 6 has polyurethane foam holes 5, which are filled with polyurethane foam 8 to form a heat insulation layer, which can block thermal bridges.

[0038] Through holes are made on the corresponding beams of adjacent box bodies, and M20 high-strength bolts are used to pass through and tighten them to form a rigid connection.

[0039] The cavities between the misaligned container bodies are filled with rock wool and polyurethane foam to improve thermal insulation and soundproofing performance.

[0040] Single-sided adhesive waterproof sealing strips are affixed to the joints of the container frames, and sealing is ensured by compression during assembly. Specific construction procedures: Prefabricate the first layer of individual containers (1) for stacking; complete the welding of corner fittings (2), leveling boxes (4), and reinforcing beams (6); hoist and level the first layer of containers, securing it with anchor bolts; hoist the second layer of containers, aligning its original corner fittings with those of the lower layer, and bolt the container beams (the frame beams around the container); fill the cavities between the stacked containers with foam material and affix sealing strips; repeat the above steps to complete multi-layer stacking. The stacked container modules can be fitted with large doors and windows as needed to improve lighting and ventilation.
