Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a frame arrangement for a building skeleton according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of modular construction systems for buildings, particularly for the rapid and cost-effective assembly and disassembly of buildings. Modular construction systems have become increasingly important in the construction industry because they represent an alternative to conventional construction methods, which are often time-consuming, expensive, and difficult to dismantle. Traditional construction methods typically require skilled labor and heavy equipment and result in permanent connections between components, making subsequent disassembly difficult or impossible. This contradicts modern sustainability requirements, which promote a circular economy and the reuse of building materials. Modular construction systems aim to solve these problems through standardized, prefabricated components that can be assembled quickly and easily.Various approaches are used, ranging from prefabricated construction with large-format wall elements to system construction methods with standardized components according to defined connection systems.

[0003] A key aspect of modular building systems is the skeleton structure, which serves as a supporting framework for wall, floor, and roof elements. Such skeleton structures must guarantee sufficient stability and load-bearing capacity both during assembly and in the finished state, while simultaneously allowing for easy assembly and disassembly.

[0004] The challenge in developing skeletal structures for modular building systems lies in creating a system that allows for rapid positioning and alignment of the structural elements without relying on complex connection techniques or heavy equipment. At the same time, the system must guarantee complete dismantling to meet the requirements of sustainable construction.

[0005] Several solutions are known from the prior art. Publication DE3120820A1 describes a building construction designed according to the skeleton construction method with vertical profile columns that are continuous between a foundation and horizontal roof beams.

[0006] Furthermore, a building module for the construction of a building is known from publication EP4006245A1. This module comprises a rectangular floor frame and ceiling frame with four vertical support columns at the corners. The module already includes pre-assembled utility lines, floor coverings, ceiling panels, and wall coverings, and can be connected with other modules to form a complete building.

[0007] Based on known modular construction systems, the present invention aims to provide a frame arrangement for a building skeleton that is relatively easy and quick to erect and at the same time completely dismantleable.

[0008] The invention solves this problem by means of a frame arrangement according to claim 1.

[0009] The following paragraphs explain definitions for the technical terms used in the claim set. These definitions should not be understood as limiting the disclosure, but rather as indicating some possible implementations of the invention, without excluding interpretations not mentioned in the definitions. Accordingly, the invention also includes other possible implementations besides those mentioned in the following paragraphs.

[0010] The term "frame arrangement" refers to a structural configuration consisting of several interconnected frame elements that together form a load-bearing skeleton for a building. In the present invention, the frame arrangement comprises at least two end frames and one or more intermediate frames, which are connected to one another by a cable system and serve as a basic framework for receiving wall, floor, and roof elements. The frame arrangement can include various geometric configurations, which can vary depending on the application and architectural requirements. In some embodiments, the frame elements can have a rectangular basic shape, which is particularly suitable for standardized building structures with straight walls and flat roofs. This rectangular configuration allows for the easy integration of modular wall and roof cladding modules and offers optimal space utilization.In other implementations, the frame elements can combine a rectangular base with a triangular roof truss, creating a house-like silhouette. This geometry is particularly suitable for residential buildings or other structures where a pitched roof is desired. The triangular upper section can support various roof pitches and allows for efficient rainwater drainage. Alternative designs can incorporate round or oval frame geometries, which are suitable for specific applications. These round configurations can provide even load distribution and are particularly advantageous in the presence of wind loads or other radial stresses. Trapezoidal frame geometries can be used in certain applications where a tapered or widening structure is required.This configuration can be used, for example, in industrial buildings with varying height requirements or in architecturally demanding designs. The flexibility of the cable system even allows for the use of different frame geometries within the same basic structure, enabling the realization of complex building shapes through the combination of different frame types. The tubes, acting as spacers, can be adapted to the respective frame geometry to ensure precise positioning and structural integrity, regardless of the chosen shape.

[0011] The term "building skeleton" refers to the load-bearing basic structure of a building, which consists of a framework and ensures the structural integrity of the building. In the context of this invention, the building skeleton forms the basic framework into which modular building elements, such as wall modules, can be inserted to create the complete, clad building envelope.

[0012] The term "end frame" refers to the outer frame elements of the frame assembly, which serve as the termination of the skeletal structure. In the present invention, a first end frame and a second end frame are provided, which are connected by the cable system to at least one intermediate frame and define the boundaries of the building structure. Typically, however, several intermediate frames, often between 3 and 15, are required to construct a sufficiently stable skeletal structure for a building of ordinary size. The term "intermediate frame" refers to the frame elements arranged between the two end frames, which serve to subdivide and structurally reinforce the frame assembly. These intermediate frames are threaded onto the cable system and can be brought into their final position by cable tension, thereby creating uniform spacing for the placement of building components.

[0013] The term "rope" encompasses flexible, tensile-resistant connecting elements such as steel cables, plastic ropes, natural fiber ropes, or other materials with comparable properties, used for guiding and positioning the frame elements. Within the scope of the invention, cables made of plastic or metal also fall under the definition of "rope." In the present invention, the rope serves both as a guiding element during assembly and as a structural element for maintaining tension and stability in the erected state. Typically, the invention employs multiple ropes to ensure adequate stabilization during the construction and use of the building.

[0014] The term "slidingly threaded" describes the type of connection between the frame elements and the cable, in which the intermediate frames can be slid onto the cable and remain movable along it. In some embodiments, this arrangement allows the frame elements to be moved into their desired position and fixed there by tensioning the cable, because the tubes are unfolded by pulling.

[0015] The term "tubes" refers to hollow spacers positioned between the frame elements, through which the cable runs. These tubes can have any cross-section, such as round, rectangular, square, or oval. They serve as spacers between the individual frames, ensuring consistent spacing within the erected structure while simultaneously guiding the cable system. The spacing between the frames can be uniform, or, depending on structural requirements, there can be closer or wider spacing between frame sections, for example, if a wall needs to provide a larger opening for a wide window. However, all tubes connecting two intermediate frames, or an intermediate frame and an end frame, should be of the same length to ensure both frames remain parallel and do not become misaligned during assembly.

[0016] Within the scope of the present invention, tubes comprise all types of rigid spacers that have guide means for ropes. A rod or pole with guide eyes for a rope can also be understood as a tube.

[0017] The term "wall base piece" refers to a structural element that connects the two end frames and serves as the base or foundation of the frame assembly. This element contributes to the stabilization of the entire structure and can act as a support for floor or wall elements, improving the guidance and positioning of the frame elements.

[0018] The term "wall roof edge piece" refers to a structural connecting element between the end frames in the upper area of ​​the frame assembly, which contributes to the stabilization of the roof structure. It forms the upper boundary of the skeletal structure and can serve as an attachment point for roof elements, improving the guidance and positioning of the frame elements.

[0019] The term "wall module" refers to a partially or fully prefabricated, flat element used to create a building envelope. The term is intended to be understood as a generic term for all flat components that serve this purpose, regardless of their spatial orientation. Even without explicit mention, it can be assumed that, for example, floor or roof elements follow the same principle.

[0020] The term "tapered section" describes a region at the ends of the tubes that has a smaller diameter than the tubes themselves. This region is preferably tapered towards the tube end. The tapered section enables a positive-locking connection with complementary-shaped recesses in the frame elements. This taper ensures precise positioning and a secure connection between the tubes and the frame.

[0021] The term "tube receiving opening" refers to a receptacle formed in the frame elements, which is shaped to complement the tapered section of the tubes. These bushings enable a positive-locking connection and contribute to the flexural stiffness of the entire frame assembly.

[0022] The term "flexurally stiffened" describes the state of the frame assembly in which increased stiffness against bending forces is achieved through cable tension and the positive-locking connections between tubes and frame. This contributes to the structural stability of the building skeleton.

[0023] The term "spring element" refers to an additional elastic component in the cable system that can compensate for changes in length due to temperature fluctuations or material expansion should the spring constant of the cable be insufficient. The spring element keeps the cable under tension, thereby ensuring the structural integrity of the frame assembly even under changing environmental conditions.

[0024] The invention according to claim 1 offers several decisive advantages over known modular construction systems, which significantly improve both the assembly and the structural performance and sustainability of the system.

[0025] A key advantage lies in the significant simplification of the assembly process thanks to the cable-guided positioning system. While conventional modular systems require complex connection techniques, heavy equipment, and skilled workers, the frame arrangement according to the invention enables self-positioning assembly of the structural elements. The sliding, adjustable mounting of the intermediate frames on the cable eliminates assembly errors and ensures precise alignment of all components without specialized expertise or time-consuming measuring work.

[0026] The integration of the tubes as spacers between the frames represents another significant advancement. These tubes not only act as precise spacers, creating uniform intervals for the placement of components, but also serve as guides for the cable system. This achieves dual functionality, maximizing both structural integrity and assembly efficiency. Unlike the rigid connection systems of existing solutions, this system remains fully demountable.

[0027] The cable-guided construction offers exceptional structural advantages over conventional systems. The cable tension creates continuous prestressing of the entire frame assembly, ensuring high stability against wind and earthquake loads. This flexible connection can absorb dynamic loads better than rigid bolted or bonded connections, thus increasing the long-term stability of the building.

[0028] A key sustainability advantage lies in the system's complete reversibility. While conventional modular systems often use irreversible connections through screws or adhesives, the cable-based connection allows for the separation of materials by type without damaging the components. This meets the modern requirements of the circular economy and enables the complete reuse of all components.

[0029] The system dramatically increases assembly speed. While traditional systems require the step-by-step assembly of individual connections, the frame arrangement according to the invention, in some embodiments, can be transferred from a compact transport configuration to the final building structure simply by pulling the cable out. This significantly reduces assembly time and simultaneously minimizes the risk of injury, as heavy components are guided and moved in a controlled manner by the cable system.

[0030] The system's flexibility far surpasses that of existing solutions. The modular arrangement of the intermediate frames allows for the realization of various building lengths and configurations without requiring fundamental changes to the connection system. The tubes, as standardized spacers, enable precise adaptation to different grid dimensions and material requirements.

[0031] Economically, the invention offers significant cost advantages by eliminating the need for skilled workers and heavy equipment during assembly. The possibility of self-assembly without prior knowledge drastically reduces labor and equipment costs, while rapid assembly leads to shorter construction times and thus lower financing costs. The preservation of value through complete disassembly creates additional economic advantages compared to conventional, non-removable systems.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of the frame arrangement according to the invention, at least one wall base section secures the first and second end frames to one another. This embodiment offers the crucial advantage of an additional structural connection between the two end frames, which contributes to the overall stability of the frame arrangement. The wall base section acts as the base or foundation of the entire skeletal structure and ensures precise alignment of the end frames with respect to each other. This firm connection prevents the end frames from shifting or twisting unintentionally during assembly or in the erected state. The wall base section can simultaneously serve as a support for floor or wall elements, thus fulfilling a dual function. Alternative implementations can provide multiple wall base sections to ensure additional stability over larger spans.

[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the frame arrangement according to the invention, at least one wall-roof edge piece secures the first and second end frames to one another. This configuration offers the significant advantage of an upper structural connection between the end frames, which is particularly important for stabilizing the roof structure. The wall-roof edge piece forms the upper boundary of the skeletal structure and contributes to stiffening the entire frame arrangement against horizontal forces. This upper connection is particularly advantageous in the presence of wind loads during construction, as it prevents deformation or displacement of the end frames in the upper region. The wall-roof edge piece can simultaneously serve to transfer the loads of the frame elements or improve the guidance of the frame elements.The wall-roof edge piece can simultaneously serve as an attachment point for roof elements, thus facilitating the integration of the roof structure into the overall system. Alternative designs could incorporate the wall-roof edge piece as an adjustable element to accommodate different roof pitches, or equip it with integrated guides for roof drainage systems.

[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of the frame arrangement according to the invention, the tubes each have a tapered section at at least one end, which can be positively inserted into a complementarily shaped tube receiving socket of an end frame or of the at least one intermediate frame, so that the two end frames and the at least one intermediate frame are flexurally stiffened under tensile stress on the at least one cable when the frame arrangement is erected. This embodiment offers the advantage of a positive-locking connection between the tubes and the frame elements, which ensures precise positioning and increased structural stiffness. The tapered section enables a self-centering connection, which eliminates assembly errors and ensures uniform force transmission between the components.The combination of cable tension and positive-locking connections creates a flexural stiffening effect that significantly increases the load-bearing capacity of the entire frame assembly. This flexural stiffening is particularly advantageous when absorbing transverse loads and contributes to the long-term stability of the building skeleton. Alternative implementations could incorporate various tapered geometries, such as conical, pyramidal, or stepped shapes, or equip the pipe sockets with additional locking mechanisms to ensure an even more secure connection. An alternative implementation with additional locking mechanisms could utilize the cable as a temporary aid for erecting the skeletal structure, which is then removed and reused after the components are locked.

[0035] In a particularly sustainable design, the tapered section of the pipes can enable the assembly of wall, floor and roof elements without additional fixing means by ensuring the step-by-step construction of the building skeleton under tensile stress: In the first step, a rigid structure is created in which the tapered section of the tubes is still located outside the complementary tube sockets of the frame elements. This creates a gap between the frame elements that allows for the insertion of form-fitting wall, floor, and roof elements between them. The form-fitting connection can, for example, be U-shaped, but any other shape or connection that holds the wall, floor, or roof element under tensile stress within the skeletal structure is also possible. In the second step, the tapered sections are positioned in the tube sockets, thus reducing the gap between the frame elements, fixing the wall, floor, or roof elements, and giving the structure its final configuration and stability.

[0036] In a particularly simple alternative design, no tapered section is provided; instead, the pipes are inserted into pipe-receiving bushings that are matched to the geometry of the pipes. While self-centering during assembly is not achieved, the structure is nevertheless stiffened under tension.

[0037] In a further preferred embodiment of the frame arrangement according to the invention, at least one spring element is provided to hold the at least one cable under tension in the erected state, such that material expansions of the frame arrangement due to temperature and humidity fluctuations are compensated. This embodiment offers the crucial advantage of automatic tension regulation, which maintains the structural integrity of the frame arrangement even under changing environmental conditions. The spring element compensates for thermal and humidity-induced expansions and contractions of the materials, which could otherwise lead to tension losses or excessive loads. This self-regulating property is particularly important when using wood or other natural materials that react to fluctuations in humidity and temperature.The spring element ensures pre-tensioning of the cable system, thus contributing to the long-term stability and maintenance-free operation of the structure. The spring element can also facilitate the assembly or subsequent replacement of components such as wall, floor, or roof elements, or windows and doors, as frame elements can be separated with less force and in a more controlled manner. In a simple case, a coil spring is used, capable of absorbing both compressive and tensile forces. Alternative implementations can employ various spring types, such as helical springs, disc springs, or pneumatic or hydraulic spring elements, or arrange multiple spring elements at different positions within the cable system to achieve a more even distribution of tension.

[0038] Non-restrictive and non-exhaustive examples are described with reference to the following figures.

[0039] The following schematic diagrams illustrate the invention: Fig. 1 Three successive views of a first embodiment of a frame arrangement at different stages of construction, and Fig. 2 three consecutive views of a top view of the embodiment according to claim 1, and Fig. 3 three successive views of a side view of the embodiment according to claim 1, and Fig. 4 a wall cladding system for a frame arrangement, and Fig. 5 Two assembly views of a stiffening device for a frame arrangement.

[0040] The following description sets out exemplary aspects of the present disclosure. However, it should be noted that this description is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Rather, the description also includes combinations and modifications of the exemplary aspects described herein.

[0041] Fig. Figure 1 shows three consecutive views of a first embodiment of a frame arrangement for a building skeleton at different stages of construction. The left view 1 depicts the folded initial position, in which all structural elements are compactly folded. A first end frame 4 and a second end frame 5 form the outer boundaries of the frame arrangement. The first end frame 4 has an end frame base 8 and frame side pieces 7 and 9, which contribute to structural stabilization. A wall base 6 connects the two end frames 4 and 5 and creates a solid base for the entire structure.

[0042] Several cables 10, 11, 12, 21, 22 run through the entire frame assembly and serve as guide and tensioning elements. A folded tube assembly 13, 24 is positioned between the folded intermediate frames and consists of individual tubes that act as spacers. The cables 10, 11, 12, 21, 22 run through these tubes and enable controlled movement of the intermediate frames during erection. The central view 2 shows the semi-unfolded position in which the frame assembly is in an intermediate stage of erection. Several intermediate frames 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 become visible, arranged between the two end frames 4, 5. These intermediate frames 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 are slidably threaded onto the cables and can be moved into their predetermined positions by tensioning the cables. This is facilitated by guide means 23, which hold the intermediate frames on the wall base pieces 6 when moving them.Pipes 19 and 20 are clearly visible as separate spacers, ensuring uniform distances between the individual frames. View 3 on the right shows the completed, fully erected frame assembly. All intermediate frames 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 have reached their final positions and are separated from each other at equal intervals by pipes 19 and 20. The cable tension holds the entire structure in its final configuration and ensures the structural integrity of the building skeleton. In this erected state, the frame assembly forms a stable framework suitable for supporting wall, floor, and roof elements.

[0043] Fig. Figure 2 illustrates three consecutive views of a top view of a frame arrangement according to Fig. 1. In contrast to the previous embodiment, an additional wall-roof edge piece 27 is provided. The left view 1 again shows the folded initial position. A cable 25 and a cable 30 run through the structure, with folded tube assemblies 24, 26 acting as spacers. In this embodiment as well, the wall base piece 6 forms the lower connection between the end frames. The wall-roof edge piece 27 connects the upper areas of the end frames and contributes to stabilizing the roof structure. The middle view 2 of the second embodiment shows the partially unfolded position with a specific arrangement of the tube elements. Tube 20 is visible as a central spacer, while additional tubes 28 and 29 support the systematic spacing of the frame elements. The cables are guided through these tubes, thus ensuring precise control of the frame positions during erection.The right-hand view 3 shows the fully erected configuration of the second embodiment. The wall-roof edge piece 27 forms the upper structural connection and contributes to the overall stability of the frame assembly. The tubes 28 and 29 have reached their final positions and create uniform spacing between the frame elements. This configuration is particularly suitable for applications where additional upper stabilization by the wall-roof edge piece is required during erection.

[0044] Fig. Figure 3 presents three consecutive side views of the frame arrangement according to Fig. 1. Compared to the previous example Fig. No wall-roof edge section is provided in view 2. The partially unfolded view 2 illustrates the transition to the erected position with a characteristic zigzag arrangement of the unfolding frame elements. The finished view 3 shows the fully erected structure with evenly spaced frame elements held in position by the cable system.

[0045] Fig. Figure 4 illustrates a wall cladding system 40 for a frame arrangement. The system shows the sequential arrangement of various components for installing wall modules between the structural elements. Wall supports of an intermediate frame 42 are positioned at regular intervals and serve as a receiving structure for the wall modules. A wall module 43 is shown as a central element that is inserted between the wall supports. A wall module frame 44 surrounds the wall module and ensures a precise fit into the skeletal structure. A wall module 43 with a wall module frame 44, the end of which resembles the letter "U" and forms a positive-locking connection to the wall supports of an intermediate frame 42, is particularly suitable in combination with a stiffening device 50. Fig. 5, which allows assembly without additional fasteners. Subsequent installation of modules into a fully assembled stiffening device 50 in Fig. 5 requires the insertion of a form-fitting module from one side and subsequent fixing.

[0046] An assembly view of the wall module frame 45 shows a variant with the module being filled during installation. The prefabricated cladding element consists of two panels with two separating plates as a structural element. Two panels 46 and two separating plates 47 are inserted into the cavity of the element, creating an offset upon which the next wall module is placed. The remaining cavity can be filled with insulation material 48 or additional panels, for example, for a solid wood wall variant, to optimize the thermal properties of the wall construction. The fully installed wall cladding 41 on the right side of the figure demonstrates the final result of the installation process, in which all components are assembled into a complete wall structure. The wall cladding system enables a modular construction method in which different wall modules with varying properties can be used.A version with a higher degree of prefabrication features pre-installed insulation, and the complete module, with its offset within the shell, is then installed. Another version, a closed module, allows for filling with loose insulation material. The systematic arrangement of the components ensures efficient installation and facilitates subsequent disassembly for maintenance or deconstruction.

[0047] Fig. Figure 5 shows two assembly views of a stiffening device for a frame arrangement. The left side shows an assembly view of the stiffening device 50 in an intermediate stage, while the right side presents the fully assembled stiffening device 51. An intermediate frame 18 serves as the basic structure for the stiffening device, and a tube 20, through which a cable runs, is positioned as an integral part of the arrangement.

[0048] The stiffening device comprises a bushing 52, which acts as a connecting element between different components. A tapered section 53 is designed to enable a positive-locking connection with complementary elements. A pipe receiving opening 54 is formed in the bushing 52 and receives the tapered pipe section 53, thereby creating a secure and precise connection.

[0049] The left-hand illustration of the stiffening device 50 clarifies how the tapered section 53, in one possible embodiment, can function in conjunction with gravity and enable the assembly of wall, floor, and roof elements without additional fixing means. This is achieved by the tapered section 53 initially being under tensile stress outside the complementarily shaped pipe receiving opening 54 of an intermediate frame 18. This creates a gap between the tapered section 53 and the next frame element, allowing the insertion of form-fitting wall, floor, and roof elements. These elements are then fixed under tensile stress by positioning the tapered section 53 in the pipe receiving opening 54, eliminating the need for additional fasteners. This embodiment is particularly suitable for assembling modules such as the wall module frame 44. Fig.4, the end of which resembles the letter “U” and forms a form-fitting connection to the wall supports of an intermediate frame.

[0050] The fully assembled stiffening device 51 demonstrates how all components interact to form a rigid connection that increases the load-bearing capacity and stability of the building frame. The stiffening device optimizes the structural integrity of the frame assembly without compromising the system's disassembly capability. The positive-locking connection between the tapered section 53 and the pipe receiving opening 54 ensures secure force transmission between the components while simultaneously allowing for easy disassembly for maintenance or deconstruction.

[0051] A number of exemplary embodiments have been described. However, it is understood that various modifications can be made without deviating from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. Accordingly, alternative implementations also fall within the scope of protection of the following claims.
