Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of emergency shelter technology, and specifically relates to a low-cost modular suburban emergency shelter facility. Background Technology
[0002] Extreme weather events, such as torrential rain, strong winds, and blizzards, often pose a serious threat to people's lives and property. At the same time, activities such as wilderness exploration, construction in remote areas, and temporary emergency rescue are increasing, making the demand for reliable and convenient outdoor shelter facilities extremely urgent. Many traditional outdoor shelter facilities, such as large tents and campsites, have complex structural designs. Taking a common large tent as an example, it typically consists of multiple components with different functions, including a complex support frame, multiple layers of waterproof fabric, and numerous ropes and tent pegs for securing it. Connecting and assembling these components takes a significant amount of time; in actual setup, it often requires multiple people working together and can take several hours to complete.
[0003] Meanwhile, existing shelter facilities also have many problems. On the one hand, the complex structure means more parts and connection points, which are prone to wear and loosening during long-term use, requiring regular inspection and maintenance. For example, the tent's support frame may deform due to wind and sun exposure, the waterproof fabric may tear, and ropes and ground stakes may lose their strength due to aging. On the other hand, the materials used in many shelter facilities lack durability in natural environments and are easily affected by corrosion and aging, leading to a shortened lifespan and increased maintenance costs. Moreover, once a facility malfunctions, its complex structure makes repair difficult, often requiring specialized technicians with specialized tools and parts, which is difficult to achieve in remote areas or emergency situations.
[0004] Currently, a Chinese utility model with announcement number CN219952845U discloses an emergency command house. It involves many components, is relatively complex to operate, and includes power facilities such as a display screen, projector, and lighting, requiring a solution to the power problem. The cost is relatively high, the structure is complex, and the later maintenance cost is high.
[0005] Chinese utility model patent CN222614515U discloses an emergency shelter and emergency cabin based on a shipping container. The device is easy to install, but the container needs to be reinforced regularly, resulting in high maintenance costs.
[0006] Chinese utility model patent CN221878997U discloses an energy storage emergency service station that continuously charges a battery pack using a wind turbine and solar panels. The power generation system also requires regular maintenance and inspection. Furthermore, existing outdoor emergency shelters lack patented features that incorporate distress signals, a crucial function for outdoor emergency rescue.
[0007] Based on the above problems, there is an urgent need for a low-cost, modular suburban emergency shelter facility. Utility Model Content
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a low-cost, modular suburban emergency shelter facility.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a low-cost modular suburban emergency shelter facility, comprising a cubic body, the cubic body comprising a top plate, a left side wall and a back side wall, the left side wall and the back side wall being symmetrically designed and fixedly connected to each other, and a resting platform being fixedly installed between the left side wall and the back side wall;
[0010] A four-pronged climbing handle is fixed to one side of the left wall, and an SOS distress signal groove is provided on the top of the top plate. The inner side of the SOS distress signal groove is coated with a rare earth aluminate fluorescent marking layer, and the inner side of the SOS distress signal groove is filled with a layer of gravel located on top of the rare earth aluminate fluorescent marking layer.
[0011] Preferably, the top plate is fixedly connected to the left side wall and the back side wall respectively, and the top plate has a 1.5% unidirectional drainage slope.
[0012] Preferably, the length and width of the resting platform are both smaller than the width of the left side wall and the back side wall.
[0013] Preferably, a top steel structure handle is fixedly installed on the top of the top plate, and the number of the top steel structure handles is three. A bottom steel structure pull is fixedly installed on the bottom of the top plate. The four-claw climbing handle, the top steel structure handle and the bottom steel structure pull are all galvanized steel components embedded in concrete.
[0014] Preferably, the inner side of the SOS distress signal groove is engraved with an SOS distress symbol, and the rare earth aluminate fluorescent layer is located on the surface of the SOS distress symbol.
[0015] Preferably, the gravel layer is located inside the SOS distress signal groove and covers the rare earth aluminate fluorescent layer and the surface of the SOS distress signal.
[0016] Preferably, the top of the top plate is provided with an edge drainage groove, which is located on one side of the SOS distress signal groove and the two are connected to each other.
[0017] Preferably, a rescue guidance information groove is provided on one side of the back wall, and the rescue guidance information groove is located at the top of the rest platform.
[0018] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. In use, this cube-shaped structure can provide functions such as leisure and shelter from extreme weather. The four-pronged climbing handles, installed in advance, enhance the stability and sturdiness between the handles and the cube. In case of wildlife attack, the four-pronged climbing handles arranged in a stepped pattern on the left wall allow for easy and quick climbing to the top, where one can quickly escape danger. This minimalist structure achieves three main functions: extreme weather shelter, wildlife defense, and temporary emergency camping.
[0020] 2. In case of distress, the rest platform can also function as seating, providing a temporary resting space. Simultaneously, the SOS distress signal on the roof can be used to send a signal to the outside. Climb to the roof and clear away the rubble layer. The SOS distress signal is coated with a rare-earth aluminate fluorescent layer, requiring no power supply and reducing daily maintenance. Furthermore, under normal circumstances, the SOS distress signal is buried in the rubble layer, ensuring that the shelter does not interfere with the external distress signal when not in use. This facility solves the technical problems of hikers being unable to quickly send out identifiable distress signals and the lack of standardized shelter facilities.
[0021] 3. During use, in the rainy season, the edge drainage grooves on the SOS distress signal groove can quickly drain rainwater from the SOS distress signal groove, preventing rainwater from eroding the SOS distress signal at the bottom and achieving natural gravity drainage. In addition, the 1.5% one-way drainage slope design of the top plate can ensure smooth water flow and prevent the person standing from being unstable due to the slope being too steep.
[0022] 4. The interior of the rescue guidance information recess is coated with weather-resistant rescue guidance information, including emergency contact numbers and shelter usage guidelines. The recessed platform at the bottom of the rescue guidance information recess can hold outdoor equipment, such as lamps or other items, further expanding its usability. The facility is made of simple materials but has a stable structure, is inexpensive and requires no daily maintenance, making it suitable for mountainous, forest and other rural environments.

The inner side of the SOS distress signal groove 301 is filled with a layer of gravel 304 located on top of the rare earth aluminate fluorescent marking layer 302.
[0040] Specifically, when a person in distress becomes unwell, the rest platform 104 can also function as a seat, providing a temporary resting space. Simultaneously, the SOS distress signal on the roof panel 101 can be used to send a signal to the outside. The person should first climb onto the roof panel 101 and clear away the gravel layer 304. The SOS distress signal is coated with a rare-earth aluminate fluorescent layer 302, requiring no power supply and reducing daily maintenance. Furthermore, under normal circumstances, the SOS distress signal is buried within the gravel layer 304, ensuring that the shelter does not interfere with external distress signals when not in use. This facility solves the technical problems of hikers being unable to quickly send identifiable distress signals and the lack of standardized shelter facilities in distress situations.
[0041] The top plate 101 is fixedly connected to the left side wall 102 and the back side wall 103 respectively. The top plate 101 has a 1.5% one-way drainage slope. The slope design of the top plate 101 can ensure smooth water flow and prevent the human body from being unstable due to the slope being too steep.
[0042] The length and width of the rest platform 104 are both smaller than the width of the left side wall 102 and the back side wall 103. The rest platform 104 can also serve as a seat and provide a temporary rest space.
[0043] The top of the top plate 101 is fixedly equipped with three top steel structure handles 202. The bottom of the top plate 101 is fixed with symmetrical bottom steel structure pulls 203. The four-pronged climbing handles 201, the top steel structure handles 202, and the bottom steel structure pulls 203 are all galvanized steel components embedded in concrete. The concrete embedding installation method can enhance the stability and firmness between the four-pronged climbing handles 201, the top steel structure handles 202, and the bottom steel structure pulls 203 and the cube body 1. The four-pronged climbing handles 201 form a stepped, protruding array on the left wall 102, which can be easily climbed to the top plate 101 for quick escape in case of wild animal attacks. The top steel structure handles 202 can be used to fix tents on the top of the top plate 101, while the bottom steel structure pulls 203 can be used to hang items needed for outdoor life.
[0044] The SOS distress signal groove 301 has an SOS distress symbol engraved on its inner side. The rare earth aluminate fluorescent layer 302 is located on the surface of the SOS distress symbol. The rare earth aluminate fluorescent layer 302 adopts the international standard of red background and white lettering, and emits light on its own at night without the need for a power source, thus reducing daily maintenance.
[0045] The gravel layer 304 is located inside the SOS distress signal groove 301 and covers the rare earth aluminate fluorescent label layer 302 and the surface of the SOS distress signal. The gravel layer 304 is used to cover the SOS distress signal so that it does not send out distress signals when not in use.
[0046] The top of the top plate 101 is provided with an edge drainage groove 303. The edge drainage groove 303 is located on one side of the SOS distress signal groove 301 and the two are connected to each other. The edge drainage groove 303 can quickly drain the rainwater in the SOS distress signal groove 301 to prevent rainwater from eroding the information inside the SOS distress signal groove 301.
[0047] A rescue guidance information recess 401 is provided on one side of the back wall 103. The rescue guidance information recess 401 is located on the top of the rest platform 104.

[0048] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The main body 1 of this cube is a sheltered space constructed from precast brick and concrete. This sheltered space provides functions such as leisure and refuge from extreme weather. The four-pronged climbing handles 201, installed pre-embeddedly, enhance the stability and firmness between the handles and the main body 1. In case of wild animal attacks, the four-pronged climbing handles 201, arranged in a stepped pattern on the left wall 102, allow for easy and quick climbing to the top plate 101, providing a rapid escape route. The top steel structure handle 202 can be used to secure a tent to the top of the top plate 101, while the bottom steel structure pulley 203 can be used to hang items needed for outdoor living.
[0049] When a victim becomes unwell, the rest platform 104 can also function as a seat, providing a temporary resting space. Simultaneously, the SOS distress signal on the top plate 101 can be used to send a signal to the outside. The first step is to climb onto the top plate 101 and clear away the rubble layer 304. The SOS distress signal groove 301 contains a rare-earth aluminate fluorescent layer 302, using the international standard of red background and white lettering. It glows automatically at night, and under normal circumstances, the SOS distress signal is buried within the rubble layer 304.
[0050] During the rainy season, the edge drainage groove 303 of the SOS distress signal groove 301 allows rainwater to drain quickly from the groove, preventing water from eroding the SOS distress signal at the bottom. The rescue guidance information groove 401 is coated with weather-resistant rescue guidance information, including emergency phone numbers and shelter usage instructions. The recessed platform at the bottom of the rescue guidance information groove 401 can hold outdoor equipment such as lights or other items.
