Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of building structure technology, specifically a foldable building. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the acceleration of urbanization and the increase in demand for temporary buildings, movable and detachable building structures have gradually become a research hotspot. In urban construction, the need for temporary venues for various infrastructure constructions and commercial activities frequently arises, such as temporary office spaces during subway station construction and venues for large-scale exhibitions.

[0003] Currently, traditional building structures are generally fixed. Once dismantled, their components are often large in size. During transportation, these large components not only require a lot of transportation space, resulting in low transportation efficiency, but also significantly increase transportation costs. At the same time, they also face huge challenges in terms of storage, requiring large areas of warehousing space, which greatly limits the convenience and efficiency of storage. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a foldable building that significantly reduces the building's volume after folding, reduces the space occupied during transportation, and makes storage more convenient, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of transportation and storage and solving the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a foldable building, comprising a building frame, wherein the building frame is provided with multiple sets of connecting members, each connecting member having two symmetrical mounting seats, and a rotating assembly between the two mounting seats. The rotating assembly includes two fixed plates fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting seats, a cross brace fixedly connected to one side between the two fixed plates, and a rotating connecting seat fixedly connected to the outside of the cross brace. The outer side of the building frame is provided with multiple sets of bending members, each bending member having connecting blocks formed at both ends. The outer surface of the rotating connecting seat is inserted into the inner side of the connecting block, and the rotating connecting seat and the connecting block are fixedly connected by bolts. The outer side of the bending member is provided with a flexible waterproof fabric, and the bending member and the flexible waterproof fabric are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0006] The above solution utilizes components such as fixed plates, cross braces, and rotating connecting seats to work together and be bolted to the connecting blocks at both ends of the bending member. The bending member is then bolted to the flexible waterproof fabric. This design allows the rotating components to flexibly rotate and drive the bending member to fold when the building is folded, while the flexible waterproof fabric folds accordingly. This effectively solves the problem of large space occupation after disassembly of traditional buildings. At the same time, the volume of the folded building is significantly reduced, the space occupied during transportation is significantly reduced, and storage is more convenient, greatly improving the efficiency of transportation and storage.

[0007] Furthermore, the building frame includes two symmetrical support columns, and a plurality of connecting beams are provided between the two support columns. The support columns and the connecting beams are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0008] The above solution, through the modular bolt connection design of the supporting columns and connecting beams, allows for rapid assembly and disassembly, reduces the number of components and redundant connection points, improves construction efficiency, and standardizes the size specifications of the supporting columns and connecting beams, facilitating mass production and replacement, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0009] Furthermore, each of the supporting columns has equidistant connecting holes on its outer side, and the bolts on the inner side of the mounting base pass through the connecting holes and are fixedly connected to the supporting column.

[0010] The above scheme allows the equidistant arrangement of the connecting holes to flexibly adjust the installation position of the mounting base according to actual needs, adapting to building scenarios with different spans and heights. At the same time, the method of fixing the mounting base and the supporting column by bolts through the connecting holes enhances the uniformity of stress on the mounting base and the main frame, avoiding local stress concentration.

[0011] Furthermore, both of the fixed plates have arc-shaped guide grooves on their outer sides, and an extension block is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating assembly. Threaded rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the extension block, and the outer sides of the threaded rods are slidably connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped guide grooves.

[0012] The above solution ensures that the rotating component moves along a preset trajectory during folding by setting an arc-shaped guide groove and sliding cooperation with the extension block and threaded rod, thus avoiding component jamming or displacement.

[0013] Furthermore, nuts are threaded onto the outer sides of both threaded rods.

[0014] The above solution, which uses a nut to lock the threaded rod, prevents the rotating components and the fixed plate from shifting due to vibration or external force during folding or unfolding, thereby improving structural reliability.

[0015] Furthermore, the bending member is made of aluminum alloy.

[0016] The above solution uses aluminum alloy for the bending component, which ensures lightweight while resisting bending deformation through high strength and extending service life.

[0017] Furthermore, each of the bending members has a cavity on its inner side, a supporting airbag is installed on the inner side of each cavity, an air nozzle is fixedly installed on the outer side of each supporting airbag, and a grid support frame is fixedly connected to the inner side of each cavity.

[0018] The above solution forms an inflatable support system by setting up support airbags and a grid support frame. When unfolded, the airbags inflate to enhance the compressive strength of the bending components, and when folded, the airbags deflate and are stored in the cavity without affecting the overall volume.

[0019] Furthermore, the grid support frame is made of the same aluminum alloy material as the bending member.

[0020] The above scheme uses the same material as the grid support frame and the bending component to ensure that the coefficient of thermal expansion is consistent, thus avoiding structural deformation caused by temperature difference.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects: This foldable building utilizes components such as a fixed plate, cross bracing, and rotating connecting seat to work together. These components are bolted to the connecting blocks at both ends of the bending member, which in turn is bolted to the flexible waterproof fabric. This design allows the rotating components to flexibly rotate and fold the bending member when the building is folded, while the flexible waterproof fabric folds accordingly. This effectively solves the problem of large space occupation after disassembly of traditional buildings. At the same time, the volume of the folded building is significantly reduced, the space occupied during transportation is significantly reduced, and storage is more convenient, greatly improving the efficiency of transportation and storage.

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This embodiment of a foldable building includes a building frame 1, which includes two symmetrical support columns 101. Multiple connecting beams 102 are provided between the two support columns 101. The support columns 101 and the connecting beams 102 are fixedly connected by bolts. The modular bolt connection design between the support columns 101 and the connecting beams 102 allows for quick assembly and disassembly, reducing the number of components and redundant connection points, thus improving construction efficiency. Simultaneously, the standardized dimensions of the support columns 101 and the connecting beams 102 facilitate mass production and replacement, reducing maintenance costs. The building frame 1 has multiple internal... The building frame 1 has a series of connecting components. Each connecting component has two symmetrical mounting seats 2 inside. A rotating assembly 3 is provided between the two mounting seats 2. The rotating assembly 3 includes two fixed plates 301 fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting seats 2. A cross brace 302 is fixedly connected to one side between the two fixed plates 301. A rotating connecting seat 303 is fixedly connected to the outside of the cross brace 302. Multiple sets of bending components 4 are provided on the outside of the building frame 1. Each bending component 4 has a connecting block 6 formed at both ends. The outer surface of the rotating connecting seat 303 is inserted into the inner side of the connecting block 6, and the rotating connecting seat 303 and the connecting block 6 are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0026] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The outer side of the bending member 4 is provided with a flexible waterproof fabric 5. The bending member 4 and the flexible waterproof fabric 5 are fixedly connected by bolts. Through the coordinated work of components such as the fixing plate 301, the cross brace 302, and the rotating connecting seat 303, it is fixed to the connecting blocks 6 at both ends of the bending member 4 with bolts. The bending member 4 is also fixed to the flexible waterproof fabric 5 with bolts. This design allows the rotating component 3 to rotate flexibly to drive the bending member 4 to fold when the building is folded. At the same time, the flexible waterproof fabric 5 folds along with it, effectively solving the problem of large space occupation after the traditional building is disassembled. At the same time, the volume of the folded building is greatly reduced, making transportation easier. The space occupied is significantly reduced, and storage is more convenient, greatly improving the efficiency of transportation and storage. Each support column 101 has equidistantly arranged connection holes 103 on its outer side. The bolts on the inner side of the mounting base 2 pass through the connection holes 103 and are fixedly connected to the support column 101. The equidistant arrangement of the connection holes 103 allows the installation position of the mounting base 2 to be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, adapting to building scenarios with different spans and heights. At the same time, the method of fixing the mounting base 2 to the support column 101 by bolts passing through the connection holes 103 enhances the uniformity of force on the mounting base 2 and the main frame, avoiding local stress concentration.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Both fixed plates 301 have arc-shaped guide grooves 304 on their outer sides. An extension block 305 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating component 3. Threaded rods 306 are fixedly connected to both sides of the extension block 305, and the outer side of the threaded rods 306 is slidably connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped guide grooves 304. By setting the arc-shaped guide grooves 304 and the extension block 305 and threaded rods 306 in sliding cooperation, the rotating component 3 is ensured to move along a preset trajectory during folding, avoiding component jamming or displacement. Nuts are threadedly connected to the outer sides of both threaded rods 306. By tightening or loosening the nuts, the extension block 305 can be locked or released. This effectively solves the problem of balancing stability and flexibility in traditional buildings, meeting the needs of building stability and adjustability in different usage scenarios. The above-mentioned threaded locking of the threaded rods 306 by nuts prevents the rotating component 3 and the fixed plate 301 from displacing due to vibration or external force during folding or unfolding, improving structural reliability.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3The bending component 4 is made of aluminum alloy. While ensuring lightweight design, the high strength of the aluminum alloy helps resist bending deformation and extends service life. Each bending component 4 has an inner cavity 7, and a support airbag 8 is installed inside each cavity 7. An air nozzle 9 is fixedly installed on the outside of each support airbag 8. A grid support frame 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of each cavity 7. The support airbag 8 and the grid support frame 10 form an inflatable support system. When unfolded, the airbag inflates to enhance the pressure resistance of the bending component 4. When folded, the airbag is deflated and stored in the cavity 7 without affecting the overall volume. The grid support frame 10 is made of the same aluminum alloy as the bending component 4. The use of the same material for the grid support frame 10 and the bending component 4 ensures that the coefficient of thermal expansion is consistent and avoids structural deformation caused by temperature differences.

[0029] In this embodiment, a foldable building is constructed by the coordinated operation of components such as a fixed plate 301, a cross brace 302, and a rotating connecting seat 303. These components are bolted to the connecting blocks 6 at both ends of the bending member 4, which in turn is bolted to the flexible waterproof fabric 5. This design allows the rotating component 3 to rotate flexibly and drive the bending member 4 to fold when the building is folded. At the same time, the flexible waterproof fabric 5 folds accordingly, effectively solving the problem of large space occupation after disassembly of traditional buildings. Furthermore, the volume of the folded building is significantly reduced, resulting in a significant reduction in space occupied during transportation and making storage more convenient, thus greatly improving the efficiency of transportation and storage.

[0030] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the mounting base 2, the cross brace column 302, and other supporting components used for connection are all made of steel to ensure the stability of the entire building structure.

[0031] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: The supporting columns 101 and connecting beams 102 of the building frame 1 are fixed with bolts to form the main frame, which constitutes the basic outline of the building. Then, the mounting base 2 is connected to the supporting columns 101, which drives the fixed plate 301 in the rotating component 3 to form a rigid support with the cross brace 302. Then, the rotating connecting base 303 is inserted into the connecting block 6 and fixed with bolts. Thus, the bending member 4 and the building frame 1 are tightly connected through the insertion of the connecting block 6 and the rotating connecting base 303. Then, the supporting airbag 8 is inflated and expands to fill the cavity 7 and together with the grid support frame 10, enhances the stability of the bending member 4. When folding is required, the bolts of the connecting block 6 and the rotating connecting base 303 at one end of the bending member 4 are released. Then, the bending member 4 slides along the arc-shaped guide groove 304 to extend the block 305 and the threaded rod 306, so that the rotating component 3 rotates around the mounting base 2 and retracts. The bending member 4 bends synchronously with the folding of the rotating component 3 to form a compact stacked structure. Finally, the building frame 1, the bending member 4 and the flexible waterproof fabric 5 are folded into a flat state, which is convenient for packing and transportation.
