Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This relates to a honeycomb tower consisting of multiple floors and an apartment building that includes the same. [Background technology]

[0002] There have been many proposals for the structure and architecture of future cities (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below). We are now in an age where space is within reach, and we are beginning to hear of humans going to the moon or Mars as a realistic possibility. In the future, scientists, people with special skills, and young people are likely to be able to go to the moon, but those who will be able to migrate to Mars will likely be limited to a wealthy minority. It will be a long time before ordinary people will be able to go to the moon or Mars, and for the time being, we will have to remain on this disaster-prone Earth.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 49-58566 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] This invention was made in consideration of the above-mentioned situation, and aims to provide a honeycomb tower and collective building that can realize disaster-resistant, high-density, and efficient future cities so that humans can continue to live on a disaster-prone Earth in the future. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] (1) The honeycomb tower of the present invention is a tower consisting of multiple floors, each floor being formed in a hexagonal shape, and the area of ​​each floor, at least on the ground level, gradually decreases from the bottom floor to the top floor.

[0006] This structure allows each story to have a high strength hexagonal shape (honeycomb structure) and high density and efficient functions. In addition, by installing each story on the ground so that the area gradually decreases from the bottom to the top, coupled with the fact that each story has a honeycomb structure, a honeycomb tower that is strong and resistant to disasters can be realized.

[0007] (2) It is preferable that the plurality of floors include at least one of a floor having a computer room and an air circulation system, a floor having a power generation system and a power distribution system, a floor having a shelter, a floor having a food storehouse, a floor having commercial and industrial facilities, a floor having a forest, a floor having agricultural mechanization facilities and livestock mechanization facilities, a floor having cultural, educational and medical facilities, a floor having residential areas, a floor having a disaster prevention center, and a floor having a meteorological information center.

[0008] With this structure, it is possible to provide each floor with functions to meet the needs of humans for food, clothing and shelter with high density and efficiency.

[0009] (3) It is preferable that the plurality of levels includes a level having a water recycling device, and that water is supplied to each level by pumping water from this water recycling device to an upper level and allowing the water to flow from the upper level to the lower level.

[0010] With this configuration, water, which is important for satisfying human needs for food, clothing and shelter, can be supplied evenly to each floor.

[0011] (4) It is preferable that the exterior walls of each floor above ground be made of glass.

[0012] With this structure, sunlight can be allowed to enter each floor through the glass exterior walls, making it possible to generate electricity using the sunlight entering each floor by installing solar panels.

[0013] (5) It is preferable that seawater be allowed into the first floor so that ships can enter and exit.

[0014] With this configuration, ships can enter and exit the first floor above ground, and necessary supplies can be brought in inside the honeycomb tower, or food ingredients can be procured by cultivating them in seawater.

[0015] (6) The collective structure according to the present invention comprises the honeycomb tower and a plurality of subtowers arranged around the honeycomb tower, each of which is connected to the honeycomb tower by a passageway.

[0016] With this configuration, not only the honeycomb tower but also each floor of the multiple subtowers arranged around it can have high density and efficient functions. In addition, since each subtower is connected to the honeycomb tower by a passageway, people can move between each subtower and the honeycomb tower, further improving efficiency.

[0017] (7) Each subtower is a tower smaller than the honeycomb tower consisting of multiple stories, each story being formed in a hexagonal shape, and it is preferable that the area of ​​each story, at least on the ground level, gradually decreases from the lowest story to the highest story.

[0018] According to this configuration, at least the above-ground floors of each subtower are installed so that the area gradually decreases from the bottom floor to the top floor, and this, combined with the fact that each floor has a honeycomb structure, makes it possible to realize a subtower that is strong and resistant to disasters. This makes it possible to realize a collective building that is extremely resistant to disasters, including the honeycomb tower and the subtowers. Effect of the Invention

[0019] According to this invention, it will be possible to realize disaster-resistant, high-density, and efficient future cities so that humans can continue to live on a disaster-prone Earth in the future. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0020] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a honeycomb tower according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view showing an assembly building equipped with the honeycomb tower of FIG. 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0021] 1. Future City Honeycomb Tower Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a honeycomb tower 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a schematic plan view showing an assembly building equipped with the honeycomb tower 1 of Fig. 1. The name honeycomb tower 1 comes from the hexagonal structure (honeycomb structure) of a beehive, which is a structure that follows the laws of nature and is resistant to wind and vibration.

[0022] The honeycomb tower 1 is a 10-story tower with a height of 5,000 m, a width of 2,500 m, and can accommodate 300,000 people. In this embodiment, a 10-story honeycomb tower 1 will be described, but the honeycomb tower 1 may be any tower consisting of multiple floors, and the number of floors is not limited.

[0023] Each floor is formed in a hexagonal shape in a plan view. And, at least on the ground level, the area of ​​each floor gradually decreases from the lowest floor to the top floor. In other words, the honeycomb tower 1 has a tapered shape toward the top floor. The ceiling height of each floor is 500m.

[0024] A cone-shaped central column extending vertically is installed at the center of the honeycomb tower 1, and this central column is capable of supporting each floor. Additionally, six auxiliary columns extending vertically are installed around the central column at intervals on a circumference centered on the central column. The auxiliary columns are rod-shaped or cone-shaped and smaller than the central column, and are composed of columns with a honeycomb structure (honeycomb columns). The diameter of the central column is 1,500m, and that of the auxiliary columns is 500m.

[0025] First, let me explain the underground structure. The first basement floor houses the computer room and air circulation system. The second basement floor houses the engine room, power generation system, and power distribution system. The third basement floor houses the shelter. This shelter can accommodate 300,000 people.

[0026] The fourth basement floor is where the food storehouse is located. The fifth basement floor is where daily necessities, machine parts, and a water recycling system are stored. Water is pumped from this water recycling system to the upper floors, and then it flows from the upper floors to the lower floors, supplying water to each floor.

[0027] Next, we will explain the above-ground structure. The first floor is where seawater flows in and where ships can enter and exit. Also, aquaculture is carried out on the first floor, where fish, seaweed, sea urchins, abalone, sea cucumbers, etc. are harvested. The flow and temperature of the seawater flowing into the first floor is controlled by computer and managed by AI (Artificial Intelligence). The first floor also houses a trade terminal, an international economic center, and general administrative facilities.

[0028] Bridges are appropriately installed on the first floor above ground, allowing people to cross the incoming seawater to reach the opposite shore. A railway line connects Honeycomb Tower 1 to other locations on the first floor above ground, and a station (not shown) is also located there. A 50m-high seawall is installed near the seawater entrance on the first floor above ground, preventing damage from high waves and tsunamis.

[0029] Commercial and industrial facilities, an airport, and a terminal are located on the second floor above ground. Commercial and industrial facilities may include a stock exchange, a bank, a financial market, and government agencies. The second floor above ground serves as the sky entrance of Honeycomb Tower 1, with helicopters, drones, and other flying objects flying in the space. A hydroelectric power plant is also located on the second floor above ground.

[0030] The first three floors are surrounded by forests and woods, and feature a shrine, temple, pond, and plaza, all of which serve as a place of spiritual comfort for people.

[0031] The four-story building houses an agricultural mechanization facility and a livestock mechanization facility, where agriculture and livestock are carried out. Also, a hydroelectric power plant is located on the fourth floor.

[0032] Cultural and educational facilities and medical facilities are located on the first five floors. Sports facilities will also be located on the first five floors. A hydroelectric power plant will also be located on the first five floors.

[0033] The first six floors are occupied by residential areas, commercial areas, and sports grounds. The seventh floor is where the disaster prevention center is located, and the eighth floor is where the weather information center is located.

[0034] A water tank is installed on the 9th floor above ground. Water pumped up by a pump from the water recycling system installed on the 4th basement floor mentioned above is stored in the water tank installed on the 9th floor above ground. The water in the water recycling system passes through the central pillar and is pumped up by pumps on each floor and transported to the water tank.

[0035] The water stored in the water tank flows through each level to the lower level. At this time, a rapid current of water is generated, and the water power is used to generate electricity at hydroelectric power plants installed on any level. As long as each level can supply electricity, any number of hydroelectric power plants can be installed, and they can even be installed on all levels.

[0036] An antenna is installed on the 10th floor above ground, and various information is sent and received from the outside world through this antenna. The antenna not only functions to send and receive information, but also plays an important role in the appearance, and looks just like a beautiful woman's hairpin.

[0037] Honeycomb Tower 1 is equipped with an elevator. This elevator is installed inside the central pillar and can transport people, cars, luggage, etc. Each floor of Honeycomb Tower 1, from the 1st floor to the 7th floor, is connected by roads, allowing travel by car. Also, if each floor of Honeycomb Tower 1, from the 1st floor to the 7th floor, is connected by train, it would be possible to provide services similar to those of the Takayama Railway.

[0038] Air conditioners are attached to the central and auxiliary pillars on each floor. By operating these air conditioners, the temperature on each floor can be adjusted.

[0039] The exterior walls of each above-ground floor of the honeycomb tower 1 are made of glass. Specifically, the walls are made of 3m-thick glass, and sunlight enters each floor through the glass exterior walls. Therefore, by attaching solar panels to the sides of the honeycomb tower 1, it is possible to generate electricity using the sunlight entering each floor.

[0040] A space is formed between the glass exterior wall and the stepped side of the honeycomb tower 1. The roads mentioned above will be installed in this space. Additionally, hydroelectric power plants will be installed where the waterways on each floor have steep slopes. Carbon dioxide and other gases are emitted from the agricultural and livestock mechanization facilities located on the fourth floor above ground, but these gases are sucked up by an air circulation device installed in the central pillar.

[0041] Honeycomb Tower 1 faces the sea, and is unique in that it has a port connected to the sea on the first floor. Aquaculture is actively carried out at the back of the port. AI constantly monitors changes in water temperature and tides, so the conditions are always stable. Large cargo ships also load and unload containers at the port. The airport on the second floor has two V-shaped runways. Planes take off and land on the 4,000m runway.

[0042] According to the above-mentioned honeycomb tower 1, each story of the strong hexagonal shape (honeycomb structure) can have high density and efficient functions. In addition, by installing each story at least on the ground so that the area gradually decreases from the bottom to the top, coupled with the fact that each story has a honeycomb structure, a honeycomb tower 1 that is strong and resistant to disasters can be realized.

[0043] A number of subtowers 2 (Building 1 21, Building 2 22, Building 3 23, Building 4 24, and Building 5 25) are arranged around the honeycomb tower 1. Each subtower 2 has a different function.

[0044] Specifically, Building 1 21 has a function related to seafood processing. Building 2 22 has a function related to machine industry processed parts. Building 3 23 has a function related to automotive industry parts. Building 4 24 has a function related to food processing. Building 5 25 has a function related to seafood farming. Building 5 25 faces the sea, and a seawall has been installed on the part facing the sea.

[0045] Each subtower 2 is a tower consisting of multiple floors and smaller than the honeycomb tower 1. Each floor of the subtower 2 is formed in a hexagonal shape like the honeycomb tower 1, and at least the floors on the ground are installed so that the area gradually decreases from the bottom floor to the top floor.

[0046] Each subtower 2 (Building 1 21, Building 2 22, Building 3 23, Building 4 24, Building 5 25) is connected to the honeycomb tower 1 by a passageway (walkway). This allows people to move between each subtower 2 and the honeycomb tower 1, further improving efficiency. In this example, each subtower 2 has a structure with one to three floors above ground, so it can also be used as a residence. In the vacant land surrounding the honeycomb tower 1 and each subtower 2, people can enjoy farming.

[0047] If a future city with these honeycomb towers 1 and sub-towers 2 is realized, it will be a truly three-dimensional city, and there will be no other city like it. The high density will create efficiency and produce 100% to 150% regeneration. Even if we cannot go to the moon or Mars, we can realize a future city that puts humans first, protects Japan's nature even as times change, and provides a new way of living in an urban setting.

[0048] In conceiving this future city, the inventor hopes that it will be based on 100% renewable energy and that the health of humans, animals, and plants will be prioritized. The inventor does not want slightly old things and feelings to be forgotten as new things are made. The inventor believes that many things born in this future city will surely be useful for the conservation of the country and land.

[0049] This futuristic city will be extremely dense compared to other cities, and infrastructure will require less space, resulting in unprecedented efficiency. In addition, Japan has an ideal climate despite many natural disasters, so people can enjoy nature by going up and down each floor of Honeycomb Tower 1.

[0050] The Japanese archipelago is a well-known volcanic archipelago. People are always suffering somewhere in Japan from major volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, heavy rains, etc. In Japan, it is possible to create a highly durable and disaster-resistant future city.

[0051] This is a creative and innovative age, and this futuristic city will be a new invitation. By combining five floors of cultural and educational facilities, medical facilities, parks, and workplaces, time will not be wasted and it will be possible to respond in many ways and become more efficient. It is the inventor's wish to combine new technologies to create a new way of life and world.

[0052] 2. Candidate site for Honeycomb Tower One possible site for installing the honeycomb tower 1 is the Ishikari Plain in Hokkaido. A vast area of ​​land like Hokkaido is suitable for realizing a future city. However, the candidate site is not limited to the Ishikari Plain and may be other areas of Hokkaido, or not limited to Hokkaido and may be other areas of Japan. In addition, areas outside Japan, such as the Micronesian islands and other islands in the South Seas that are at risk of being submerged due to rising sea levels caused by global warming, are also possible candidate sites.

[0053] 3. The important role of honeycomb towers In the South Sea islands, global warming is progressing, sea levels are rising, and the coasts of the islands are being worn down by the waves, causing erosion. If the sea level rises, the islands will be submerged. If the islands disappear, the countries will disappear too. Where will the hundreds of thousands of people who have lived on those islands and in those countries go? Those who have lost their country will become refugees.

[0054] However, there is still time. All we need to do is drive piles into the coast of the island, build a seawall on top of them, and then build Honeycomb Tower 1 on top of that. Even if the water level rises and the original island is submerged, the original island will remain as a country because the piles were driven in and the seawall was built before it was submerged.

[0055] This should be a policy that puts people first. I hope that this plan will be further advanced in a country like Japan, which is prone to natural disasters.

[0056] 4. Structural advantages of honeycomb tower Imagine the overall shape of the Honeycomb Tower 1. The inventor recalls Noah's Ark. It was washed away by heavy rain and a great storm. The wind calmed down and the ship stopped. Then the sunlight poured in, and all the living things in the Ark found a place of safety.

[0057] Judging from the structure of this Honeycomb Tower 1, in the event of a major natural disaster, a disaster never recorded in the past, this Honeycomb Tower 1 will float on the water's surface. Subtowers 2, Building 1 21 to Building 5 25, will keep the Honeycomb Tower 1 in balance. It will look like spread wings, providing great buoyancy.

[0058] It is a futuristic city that prioritizes people, is resistant to destructive disasters created by humans, and has perfect security. The temperature and humidity inside Honeycomb Tower 1 are constantly managed by AI, maintaining the best environment for animals and plants. [Explanation of symbols]
