Specific details for implementing the invention

[0028] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, the concept of the present invention is not limited to the presented embodiments. Those skilled in the art who understand the concept of the present invention may easily propose other inventions that are inferior or other embodiments included within the scope of the concept of the present invention by adding, changing, or deleting other components within the same scope of the concept, and such are also to be considered to be included within the scope of the concept of the present invention.

[0030] Additionally, components with the same function within the scope of the same concept appearing in the drawings of each embodiment are described using the same reference numeral.

[0032] FIG. 1 is a cutaway perspective view illustrating the usage state of an automatic restoring compression type emergency housing system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] Referring to FIG. 1, an automatic restoring compression type emergency housing system (100, hereinafter referred to as the ‘system’) according to one embodiment of the present invention may be a new concept emergency housing facility for solving housing problems in disaster situations such as earthquakes, floods, wars, or epidemics by simultaneously satisfying rapid installation, improved transportation efficiency, prevention of mechanical failures, and securing structural stability.

[0035] The above system (100) may include a three-dimensional module (110) made of a compressible material to provide a living space (S).

[0036] The above three-dimensional module (110) may include a floor module (112) for providing a floor surface of the residential space (S), a wall module (114) for providing a wall surface of the residential space (S), etc.

[0037] Here, the compressible material may be a polyurethane foam having characteristics in which the degree of compression, sound absorption performance, and support performance vary depending on the density, but is not necessarily limited thereto, and various compressible materials such as fire-resistant reinforced compressible composite materials, eco-friendly bio-based compressible materials, or recycled fiber-based compressible materials may be applied as needed.

[0038] The above living space (S) may be equipped with bedding such as a mattress (120) and sleeping bag, or a sofa (130) for the convenience of the resident, and a door (140) for access to the above living space (S) may be installed.

[0039] The above mattress (120), sofa (130), etc. may be provided as a component of the above three-dimensional module (110), but are not necessarily limited thereto and may be provided as a separate component.

[0040] The above door (140) may be provided as a component of the three-dimensional module (110) to enable the opening and closing of the residential space (S) through the elasticity of the material itself, but it is not necessarily limited to this and may be provided separately to enable the opening and closing of the residential space (S) using a separate component such as a hinge.

[0042] Meanwhile, the above-mentioned three-dimensional module (110) can be converted into a cylindrical unit module (210, see FIG. 5) for minimizing volume during transportation, and will be explained in detail below.

[0044] FIGS. 2 to 6 are drawings for explaining the compression process, rolling process, and packaging process of an automatic restoring compression type emergency housing system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] First, the three-dimensional module (110) provided to the above system (100) can be converted into a cylindrical unit module (210) with a minimized volume by a rolling process after the dwelling space (S) is eliminated by a compression process caused by an external force applied from a specific direction during transportation.

[0047] Additionally, the unit module (210) can be automatically converted into the three-dimensional module (110) provided with the residential space by releasing the rolling state due to the characteristics of the compressible material during use and restoring it from the compressed state.

[0048] Below, the process of switching between the three-dimensional module (110) and the unit module (210) is described in detail.

[0050] Referring to FIG. 2, a three-dimensional module (110) made of polyurethane foam, which is a compressible material, can provide a living space (S).

[0051] The above polyurethane foam is a material that can be compressed to a level of 1 / 5 to 1 / 8 and has a recovery rate of 95% or more after release, and is a material with elastic recovery power that can restore itself without any external force.

[0052] In addition, the polyurethane foam may have a thermal conductivity of 0.030 W / mk to 0.035 W / mk, and at least one of the inner and outer surfaces may be treated with a waterproof coating or a UV-resistant coating.

[0053] When transporting the above-mentioned three-dimensional module (110), a process to reduce the volume is carried out.

[0054] Meanwhile, a mattress or sofa placed within the above-mentioned residential space (S) may be manufactured from substantially the same material as the three-dimensional module (110), and may be manufactured to be integrated with the three-dimensional module (110) to form a single unit during the manufacturing of the three-dimensional module (110), or may be manufactured separately and have a different placement state within the above-mentioned residential space (S).

[0056] Referring to Fig. 3, a compression process is carried out by an external force applied in a specific direction.

[0057] Here, the specific direction can be determined according to the shape of the three-dimensional module (110), and in the case of a curved arch structure type as in FIG. 2, the compression process proceeds in the direction in which the doors (140) approach each other.

[0058] Meanwhile, if a mattress or sofa placed in a residential space (S) is manufactured separately from the three-dimensional module (110) and its placement state can be changed within the residential space (S), the mattress or sofa may be moved within the residential space (S) before the compression process is carried out in order to achieve the maximum compression effect of the compression process as illustrated in FIG. 3.

[0059] However, if the above mattress or the above sofa, etc. is integrated with the above three-dimensional module (110), the compression process may proceed without moving the position within the residential space (S).

[0060] Referring to FIG. 4, when the compression process by external force is completed, the three-dimensional module (110) changes into a plate shape.

[0061] Next, referring to FIG. 5, when the three-dimensional module (110) that has been transformed into a plate shape is rolled, it is finally converted into a cylindrical unit module (210).

[0062] Referring to FIG. 6, the cylindrical unit module (210) is received in a packaging box (BX) to complete the packaging, and then transport is carried out through loading, etc.

[0063] Here, the packaging box (BX) can be manufactured from metal, paper, plastic, etc., and can be utilized as a water tank capable of storing water itself.

[0064] Meanwhile, the above-described three-dimensional module (110) may be provided with a plurality of unit bodies (UT1, UT2) integrated, and the density of the unit bodies (UT1, UT2) may be determined based on their main functions.

[0065] Specifically, among the units constituting the three-dimensional module (110), the unit (UT1) for which the function of supporting a load for the stability of the residential space (S) is prioritized can be manufactured from a high-density compressible material with a relatively high density.

[0066] In addition, among the units constituting the three-dimensional module (110), the unit (UT2) for which the function of minimizing volume for transportation is prioritized can be manufactured from a low-density compressible material with a relatively low density.

[0067] Polyurethane foam can be classified into low-density, medium-density, and high-density based on density, with low density being 24 kg / m³ 3 Below, the medium density is 24 kg / m³ 3 Exceeding 41 kg / m 3 Less than, high density is 41 kg / m³ 3 It is common to mean the ideal.

[0068] Here, the density of the high-density compressible material and the density of the low-density compressible material are not based on the criteria for classifying polyurethane foam by density, but are relative concepts to each density, and the high-density compressible material and the low-density compressible material may both be high-density or both may be low-density when classified according to the criteria for classifying polyurethane foam by density.

[0069] Meanwhile, among the units constituting the three-dimensional module (110), the unit (UT1) for which the function of supporting a load for the stability of the residential space (S) is prioritized may be a unit (UT1) located at a corner portion that is the boundary of the wall where the curved arch and the door (140) are formed, or a unit (UT1) located at a specific position among the units constituting the curved arch.

[0070] However, the unit body in which the load-bearing function is prioritized will vary depending on the overall shape of the three-dimensional module (110).

[0071] Referring to the enlarged view of FIG. 2, the boundary area of ​​each unit body (UT1, UT2) may have a reduced width so as to provide an inflow space (S1) into which the unit body being compressed can be introduced during compression.

[0072] The above-mentioned inlet space (S1) facilitates the compression of the compressible material provided as polyurethane foam, thereby helping the process of changing the three-dimensional module (110) into the plate shape shown in FIG. 4.

[0073] Although the above description explains an embodiment in which polyurethane foams with different densities are provided according to the function prioritized for each unit, polyurethane foams with different densities may also be provided even within a single unit.

[0074] In other words, within a single unit, the outer region can be provided with relatively high-density polyurethane foam, and the inner region can be provided with relatively low-density polyurethane foam.

[0075] In addition, within a single unit, the outer and inner layers can be provided at a relatively high density to ensure load-bearing capacity and sidewall stability, while the middle layer can be provided at a relatively low density to contribute to minimizing volume for transportation.

[0077] Meanwhile, the above system (100) may further include a cover mesh (not shown).

[0078] The above cover mesh can cover the three-dimensional module (110) from the outside to block ultraviolet rays or perform a waterproofing function.

[0079] Here, the three-dimensional module (110) can be naturally covered by the cover net during the process of automatic restoration while the unit module (210) is positioned inside the cover net.

[0080] Accordingly, the present invention increases the convenience of installing the cover net by allowing the three-dimensional module (110) to be naturally covered during the automatic restoration process rather than during the process of covering the cover net after the three-dimensional module (110) is implemented by automatic restoration.

[0082] FIGS. 7 to 10 are drawings for illustrating an automatic restoring compression type emergency housing system according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0084] Referring to FIGS. 7 to 10, a three-dimensional module (110') provided in an automatic restoring compression type emergency housing system (100') according to another embodiment of the present invention may be provided in an elliptical dome shape.

[0085] In this case, the direction in which an external force is applied for compression may be the up and down direction, and when compression in the up and down direction is completed, the three-dimensional module (110') changes into a plate shape as shown in FIG. 9.

[0086] Next, when the three-dimensional module (110') that has been transformed into a plate shape is rolled, it is finally converted into a cylindrical unit module through the process illustrated in FIG. 10.

[0088] Meanwhile, the three-dimensional module (110, 110') provided in the automatic restoring compression type emergency housing system (100, 100') according to the present invention can be varied according to the environmental conditions of the installation area, such as a polygonal pyramid shape suitable for heavy snow areas or a flat roof shape suitable for strong wind areas.

[0090] Although the structure and features of the present invention have been described above based on embodiments according to the present invention, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be made within the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, it is noted that such changes or modifications fall within the scope of the appended claims.
