Description
Technology Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for installing an installation structure using a modular unit structure. Background Technology
[0002] Generally, the method of installing an object onto a structure such as a building follows the following process. First, anchors are driven into the structure, and column beams are connected to these anchors.
[0003] The column beam consists of horizontal beams and vertical beams, and the installation sequence is as follows. Install the vertical beams first and then install the horizontal beams based on them, or install the horizontal beams first and then install the vertical beams based on them.
[0004] Once all the column beams are connected, extension beams for installing objects are installed on the column beams. As an example of an object, in the case of a display, multiple displays can be connected in a grid pattern after the extension beams are installed to finally complete the electronic display board.
[0005] When installing conventional objects on structures such as buildings, there is a problem in that the overall structure may bend or twist if a slight installation error occurs.
[0006] For example, during the process of installing beams that form the framework of a structure from the bottom to the top, if slight angle or length errors occur in the bottom or middle sections, the errors accumulate as they move upward, causing the beams installed at the top to become completely twisted.
[0007] As a result, continuous horizontal and vertical alignment is required, which significantly increases work time.
[0008] Therefore, an installation method for the structure is required to resolve these issues. This will provide a solution to minimize errors during the installation process and complete the work more efficiently. The problem to be solved
[0009] Various embodiments of the present invention aim to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a new installation method that minimizes installation errors and resulting structural deformation that may occur during the installation of an installation structure on which an object is installed, by connecting a modular unit structure manufactured separately externally to a fixed unit connected to the object to be installed, and additionally connecting a plurality of modular unit structures.
[0010] Specifically, the present invention proposes a structural solution that reduces installation errors of column beams and extension beams and enables easier alignment of the horizontal and vertical lines of the installed structure. Through this, the invention aims to prevent warping and bending that may occur when installing multiple modular unit structures for an object, shorten installation time, and improve the stability of the overall structure.
[0011] The problems that the present invention aims to solve are not limited to those mentioned above, and other unmentioned problems will be clearly understood by a person skilled in the art from the description below. means of solving the problem
[0012] To solve the aforementioned problem, a method for installing an installation structure using a modular unit structure is provided, comprising the steps of: placing a fixed unit in a predetermined area of an object to be installed; connecting a modular unit structure that serves as a reference structure to the fixed unit; connecting a plurality of modular unit structures to the reference structure; and installing an object on the other side opposite to one side of the modular unit structure connected to the object to be installed.
[0013] In one embodiment, the reference structure may be positioned in the central part of the installation.
[0014] In one embodiment, the reference structure may be positioned at a location spaced apart from the center of the installed object by a predetermined distance in the left or right direction.
[0015] In one embodiment, the reference structure may be formed by connecting a plurality of modular unit structures.
[0016] In one embodiment, the fixing unit may be positioned such that the lower end of the reference structure connected to the fixing unit is located at the lower end of the installation object.
[0017] In one embodiment, the fixing unit may be positioned such that the lower end of the reference structure connected to the fixing unit is spaced apart from the lower end of the installation object by a predetermined distance.
[0018] In one embodiment, the step of installing the object may include: connecting an object fastening unit to the modular unit structure; and connecting the object to the object fastening unit.
[0019] In one embodiment, the modular unit structure is a rectangular structure in which a plurality of horizontal beams, vertical beams, and height beams form a frame, and a plurality of adjacent modular unit structures can be connected to each other to form an installation structure.
[0020] In one embodiment, one side of the installation structure faces the object to be installed, and an object may be installed on the other side facing it.
[0021] In one embodiment, among the connected plurality of modular unit structures, adjacent modular unit structures may be fixedly connected so that vertical beams located at the corners come into contact with each other to form a single rectangular structure.
[0022] Other specific details of the present invention are included in the detailed description and drawings. Effects of the invention
[0023] Various embodiments of the present invention aim to solve the above-mentioned problems by connecting a modular unit structure, which is manufactured externally in advance, to a fixed unit connected to the object to be installed, and additionally connecting a plurality of modular unit structures, thereby providing a new installation method to minimize installation errors and resulting structural deformation that may occur during the installation of an installation structure on which an object is installed.
[0024] Specifically, the core of this invention is to adopt a form in which modular unit structures are prefabricated in a factory and then assembled on-site. Since the width and length dimensions are already fixed and the connections between each unit structure are secure, installation errors that occur in conventional methods can be prevented. Furthermore, the horizontal and vertical inspection work required to reduce errors is reduced, significantly improving the efficiency of the installation process.
[0025] Through this, the installation time of the installation structure on which the object is installed can be reduced by 1 / 2 to 1 / 4, and the accuracy and stability of the entire installation process can be significantly improved. The present invention prevents warping and bending that may occur when installing an object such as an electronic display board, and enables faster and more accurate installation.
[0026] The effects of the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and other unmentioned effects will be clearly understood by a person skilled in the art from the description below. Brief explanation of the drawing

Therefore, such definition should be based on the content throughout this specification.
[0039] FIG. 1 shows a state in which an electronic display board is installed on a building using an installation structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows a state in which an installation structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed on a building from the front. FIG. 3 shows a state in which an installation structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed on a building from the side. FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a modular unit structure according to an embodiment of the present invention connected to an adjacent modular unit structure.
[0040] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, an installation structure (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention is installed such that its rear surface faces the object to be installed (5), and an object (OB) can be installed on its front surface.
[0041] In this specification, 'installation target (5)' refers to a place where the modular unit structure (100), which will be described later, is installed, and may include a building, etc. Additionally, 'object' refers to an object to be installed on the installation structure (1), which is intended to be placed on the installation target (5) through the installation structure (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[0042] Referring to FIG. 1, an object (OB) installed in an installation structure (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention may be a display that receives power and provides visual information to the outside. In this case, the installation structure (1) may be an electronic display structure.
[0043] However, it is not limited to this, and various modifications can be implemented within the technical concept that can be placed through the installation structure (1) on an installation object (5) such as a building.
[0044] Generally, the installation structure (1) can be installed on the outer wall of the object to be installed (5) using a fixing unit, specifically an anchor. To do this, first, an anchor hole is drilled in the outer wall of the object to be installed (5), and a chemical anchor or an expansion bolt is installed. Using this anchor, a plurality of modular unit structures (100) can be firmly fixed to the object to be installed (5) by being fixed to each other in a grid or tile pattern, or arranged vertically and horizontally.
[0045] An object (OB) can be fixed to the front of a plurality of modular unit structures (100).
[0046] Specifically, if the object (OB) is a display, multiple displays can be fixed to the front of multiple modular unit structures (100).
[0047] Multiple displays are installed in a grid or tile pattern on multiple modular unit structures (100), and the installation of the display board can be completed by connecting a power supply and a control system to the multiple displays.
[0048] In the prior art, an installation method was used in which the steel frame of the installation structure was erected from start to finish at the site where the installation object (5) is located.
[0049] Specifically, when the object installed on the structure is a display, a method is used to install the LED display by installing multiple column beams vertically or horizontally on the exterior wall of the building and then installing the display on top of them. First, anchors are driven into the wall and connected to the column beams; then, the column beams are installed either vertically or horizontally first. Once all the column beams are connected, extension beams for installing the displays are installed on the column beams, and the LED display is completed by connecting multiple displays in a grid pattern.
[0050] However, with these conventional technologies, even slight installation errors when installing LED displays over a large area can cause the entire structure to bend or twist. For example, if a slight error in angle or length occurs at the bottom or middle section during the process of installing column beams from bottom to top, the column beam installed at the top can become completely twisted. This necessitates continuous adjustments to ensure horizontal and vertical alignment, which significantly increases working time.
[0051] As described above, it goes without saying that various objects (OB), including a display, can be installed in the installation structure (1), specifically the modular unit structure (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[0052] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of modular unit structures (100) can be pre-assembled and then installed on an installation site (5) in a grid or tile pattern. That is, the present invention is characterized by installing a plurality of modular unit structures (100) by pre-manufacturing them at a factory or on-site and then assembling them on an installation site (5).
[0053] If the horizontal and vertical dimensions are already determined and the connection between each modular unit structure (100) is firmly established, installation errors that occur in conventional methods can be prevented. In addition, horizontal and vertical inspection work to reduce errors is reduced, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of the installation process. As a result, the accuracy and stability of the entire installation process can be greatly improved. The present invention prevents warping and bending that may occur during the installation of an electronic display board and enables faster and more accurate installation.
[0054] Below, a detailed explanation will be provided regarding an installation method for installing a structure using a modular unit structure in which a plurality of horizontal beams (110), vertical beams (120), and height beams (130) form a frame.
[0055] FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for installing an installation structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating the step of connecting a modular unit structure to a reference structure in FIG. 4. FIG. 6a to 6d illustrate the step of connecting a plurality of modular unit structures. FIG. 7 illustrates the step of installing an object on a modular unit structure in FIG. 4.
[0056] Referring to FIG. 4, a method for installing an installation structure (1) using a modular unit structure (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include the steps of: placing a fixed unit in a predetermined area of an object to be installed (5) (S100); connecting a modular unit structure (100) that serves as a reference structure to the fixed unit (S200); connecting a plurality of modular unit structures (100) to the reference structure (S300); and installing an object (OB) on the modular unit structure (100) (S400).
[0057] Referring to FIG. 4, the step (S100) of placing a fixed unit in a preset area of the installation (5) is a step of placing a fixed unit capable of being combined with the installation structure (1), specifically the modular unit structure (100), in a preset area on the installation (5).
[0058] Although not shown in the drawing, the fixing unit is positioned and fixed on one side of the installation object (5) facing the modular unit structure (100), and may be an anchor or a member (not shown) for connecting to the anchor.
[0059] Referring to FIG. 8, a bracket (301) for fixing a fixing unit fixed to an object (5) and an arbitrary height beam (130) can be used on the back of the modular unit structure (100). As the bracket (301) is combined with the fixing unit, the modular unit structure (100) can be positioned and fixed on one side of the object (5).
[0060] A plurality of fixed units may be provided, and a plurality of fixed units may be connected to a single modular unit structure (100).
[0061] Referring to FIG. 6a, the fixed unit may be positioned in a predetermined area of the installation (5) such that the lower part of the modular unit structure (100) connected to the fixed unit is positioned at a predetermined distance (d) from the lower part of the installation (5).
[0062] As a result, the modular unit structure (100), which is fixed in position on one side of the installation (5) by a fixed unit, can be located relatively higher than the lower part of the installation (5) (based on FIG. 6a).
[0063] As an optional embodiment, the fixing unit may be placed in a predetermined area of the installation (5) such that the lower part of the modular unit structure (100) connected to the fixing unit is located at the lower part of the installation (5).
[0064] As the fixed unit is positioned so as to be fixed on the installation (5), the position of the modular unit structure (100) connected to the fixed unit can be fixed in a preset area on the installation (5).
[0065] Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 6a, in the step (S200) of connecting a modular unit structure (100) that serves as a reference structure to a fixed unit, the modular unit structure (100) is connected to a fixed unit that is placed on an object to be installed (5). In this specification, 'reference structure' refers to a modular unit structure (100) that serves as a reference when placing a plurality of modular unit structures (100) that form an installation structure (1) on an object to be installed (5).
[0066] That is, as illustrated in FIG. 6a, a modular unit structure (100) that serves as a standard for arranging a plurality of modular unit structures (100) can be called a standard structure.
[0067] Referring to FIG. 6a, the reference structure can be placed in the center of the installation (5). Specifically, the reference structure can be placed on the width direction reference center axis (CX) of the installation (5).
[0068] However, it is not limited to this, and depending on the target position of the installation structure (1) placed on the installation object (5), it may be placed at a position spaced apart from the center of the installation object (5) by a predetermined distance to the left or right.
[0069] The following description is based on the premise that the reference structure is positioned on the reference center axis (CX) in the width direction of the installed object (5).
[0070] Referring to FIG. 6a, the reference structure may be a single modular unit structure (100), but is not limited thereto and may have a structure in which multiple modular unit structures (100) are connected.
[0071] In this case, the reference structure may be a structure in which a plurality of modular unit structures (100) are connected along the horizontal direction (left and right direction based on FIG. 8). The reference structure in which a plurality of modular unit structures (100) are connected may be connected to a fixed unit placed in a predetermined area of the installation object (5) through a bracket.
[0072] As a result, depending on the site conditions, such as when the position of the fixed point of the installed object (5) and the specifications of the modular unit structure (100) do not match, a standard structure can be created by connecting multiple modular unit structures (100) on the ground to form a single group.
[0073] As an optional embodiment, when the reference structure includes a plurality of modular unit structures (100), the connection direction of the plurality of modular unit structures (100) may be connected along the height direction of the installed object (5) (up and down direction based on FIG. 6a).
[0074] The method of connecting multiple modular unit structures (100) will be explained in detail later.
[0075] Referring to FIGS. 4, FIGS. 5, and FIGS. 6b, the step (S300) of connecting a plurality of modular unit structures (100) to a reference structure is a step of connecting a plurality of modular unit structures (100) to a reference structure (100) connected to a fixed unit placed on an installation (5), and may include a first connection step (S310) of connecting a modular unit structure (100) to the side of the reference structure along a first direction, and a second connection step (S320) of placing a modular unit structure (100) on the upper side of the reference structure along a second direction.
[0076] In this specification, 'first direction' refers to the lateral direction of the modular unit structure (100) and may refer to the horizontal direction. Looking at it from another perspective, 'first direction' may refer to the width direction of the installed object (5) (left and right direction based on FIG. 6a).
[0077] The first connection step (S310) may be a horizontal expansion step of connecting a plurality of modular unit structures (100) to a reference structure. By performing the first connection step (S310), any layer may be completed along the height direction of the installed structure (1).
[0078] Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6c, the second connection step (S320) is a step of placing a modular unit structure (100) on the upper side (based on FIG. 6c) of the reference structure in the first connection step (S310) along the second direction, and the 'second direction' may mean the height direction (up and down direction based on FIG. 6c) of the modular unit structure (100) which is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0079] Looking at this from another perspective, the 'second direction' may refer to the height direction of the installed object (5) (up and down direction based on FIG. 6c). The second connection step (S320) may be a vertical expansion step of placing a modular unit structure (100) on a reference structure.
[0080] The second connection step (S320) can be performed after the first connection step (S310) is completed. By performing the second connection step (S320), a new layer can be formed on the upper side of any layer formed in the first connection step (S310).
[0081] In the second connection step (S320), a modular unit structure (100) can be placed on the reference structure from the first connection step (S310) as a new reference structure (hereinafter referred to as the 'second reference structure').
[0082] The second reference structure can be a reference structure of a newly formed layer and can be connected to a fixed unit placed on the installation (5). As an optional embodiment, the second reference structure can be fastened to the upper side (see FIG. 6c) of the reference structure in the first connection step (S310) and fixed in position.
[0083] The first connection step (S310) and the second connection step (S320) can be repeated multiple times. That is, through the first connection step (S310), multiple modular unit structures (100) can be expanded in the horizontal direction (based on FIG. 6b), and through the second connection step (S320), they can be expanded in the vertical direction (up and down direction based on FIG. 6c).
[0084] Referring to FIG. 6c and FIG. 6d, the modular unit structure (100) placed on the upper side of the reference structure from the previous first connection step (S310) in the second connection step (S320) can be the reference structure in the corresponding layer.
[0085] That is, n layers are formed through the first connection step (S310), n+1 layers are formed through the second connection step (S320), and the first connection step (S310) is repeated so that a plurality of modular unit structures (100) can be connected to the side of the reference structure in the n+1 layers.
[0086] When the n+1th floor is completed, through the second connection step (S320), a modular unit structure (100) that serves as the reference structure of the n+2nd floor is placed on the upper side of the modular unit structure (100) that serves as the reference structure of the n+1st floor, and the n+2nd floor can be completed through the first connection step (S310).
[0087] The first connection step (S310) and the second connection step (S320) can be repeated to extend the floors up to the design height of the installed structure (1).
[0088] Referring to FIGS. 4 and FIGS. 7, the step of installing an object (OB) in a modular unit structure (100) (S400) is a step of installing an object (OB) on the other side (front side in FIG. 8) opposite to one side (back side in FIG. 8) of the modular unit structure (100) connected to the object to be installed (5), and may include the step of connecting an object fastening unit to the modular unit structure (100) (S410) and the step of connecting an object (OB) to an object fastening unit (OBF) (S450).
[0089] Referring to FIG. 14, by connecting an object fastening unit (OBF), such as a bracket, to a modular unit structure (100) and connecting an object (OB) to the object fastening unit (OBF), an object (OB), such as a display, can be installed on an installation structure (1) using the modular unit structure (100).
[0090] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the method of installing an installation structure (1) has the effect of minimizing installation errors and structural deformation that may occur during the installation of the installation structure (1) on which an object (OB) is installed by connecting a modular unit structure (100) pre-fabricated externally to a fixing unit connected to an object to be installed (5), and additionally connecting a plurality of modular unit structures (100).
[0092] Hereinafter, the structure of a specific modular unit structure (100) and the method of fixing multiple modular unit structures (100) to each other will be explained.
[0093] Referring to FIG. 8, the modular unit structure (100) may be a rectangular structure having a plurality of beams as a frame. The modular unit structure (100) may be a rectangular structure in which a plurality of horizontal beams (110), vertical beams (120), and height beams (130) form a frame.
[0094] In the modular unit structure (100), the horizontal beam (110) may be a frame forming the top plane and bottom plane. Additionally, the vertical beam (120) and the height beam (130) may be a frame forming the left plane and right plane, and the horizontal beam (110) and the height beam (130) may be a frame forming the front plane and back plane.
[0095] Referring to FIG. 8, the vertical beam (120) may include an edge vertical beam (121) located at the edge of the modular unit structure (100) and a middle vertical beam (122) located between the edge vertical beams (121) at both ends.
[0096] Referring to FIG. 8, a modular unit structure (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention has two intermediate vertical beams (122) connected between the corner vertical beams (121) at both ends of the horizontal beams (110) on the front and back sides.
[0097] However, it is not limited to this, and various variations are possible, such as not including an intermediate vertical beam (122) or including one or three or more.
[0098] Depending on the embodiment, the number of vertical beams (120) and the distance between the vertical beams (120) may vary and may adaptively vary depending on the length of the horizontal beam (110). In addition, depending on the embodiment, the number and location of the height beams (130) may also vary.
[0099] Additionally, the horizontal beam (110) may be a straight beam, or the horizontal beam (110) may have a curved section and may have a shape corresponding to the outer surface shape of the object (5) on which the modular unit structure (100) is installed.
[0100] In one embodiment of the present invention, adjacent modular unit structures (100) can be fixed by contacting the surface components of their horizontal beams (110), vertical beams (120), and height beams (130). The horizontal beams (110), vertical beams (120), and height beams (130) can each have a rectangular shape and can have surface components of a front, back, top, bottom, left, and right sides.
[0101] By connecting the surface components of each of the horizontal beams (110), vertical beams (120), and height beams (130) of adjacent modular unit structures (100) in contact with each other, horizontal and vertical errors and twisting and bending of the adjacent modular unit structures (100) can be prevented.
[0102] The connection structure of the modular unit structure (100) according to the present invention can form an integrated structure in which each unit structure is fixed by the surface components of adjacent modular unit structures (100) being in contact.
[0103] This increases the overall rigidity of the installation structure (1) on which the object (OB) is installed, and minimizes structural deformation even with external impact or vibration. In addition, this joining method enables quick and accurate positioning during installation, thereby reducing working time.
[0104] In addition, these structural features allow for maintaining high precision during the installation of the installation structure (1) on which the object can be installed, and minimize errors that may occur during the installation process. As a result, the overall structural stability of the installation structure (1) is improved, and consistent alignment between each modular unit structure (100) can be ensured. This can significantly increase the convenience of maintenance after installation and the efficiency of installation.
[0105] Referring to FIG. 8, an installation structure (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention may have a plurality of modular unit structures (100) connected along a first direction (left-right direction based on FIG. 8) formed parallel to the extension direction of a horizontal beam (110) (left-right direction based on FIG. 8).
[0106] That is, a plurality of modular unit structures (100) can be connected on both sides centered around a single modular unit structure (100).
[0107] As an optional embodiment, a plurality of modular unit structures (100) may be connected along a second direction (up and down direction in FIG. 8) which is perpendicular to the first direction (left and right direction in FIG. 8) and parallel to the extension direction of the height beam (130) (up and down direction in FIG. 8).
[0108] In this case, among the plurality of modular unit structures (100) of the installation structure (1) according to the embodiments of the present invention to be described later, the connection structure between the vertical beams (120) located at the corners of adjacent modular unit structures (100) can be applied as the connection structure between the horizontal beams (110).
[0109] As an optional embodiment, a plurality of modular unit structures (100) may be connected along a third direction (front-back direction based on FIG. 8) which is perpendicular to the first direction (left-right direction based on FIG. 8) and parallel to the extension direction of the vertical beam (120) (front-back direction based on FIG. 8).
[0110] In this case, among the plurality of modular unit structures (100) of the installation structure (1) according to the embodiments of the present invention to be described later, the connection structure between the vertical beams (120) located at the corners of the adjacent modular unit structures (100) can be applied as a connection structure between at least one of the horizontal beams (110) and the height beams (130).
[0111] That is, among the plurality of the above-mentioned modular unit structures (100), adjacent modular unit structures can be connected by being fixed to form a rectangular parallelepiped structure by having at least one of the horizontal beam (110) and the height beam (130) located at the corners come into contact with each other.
[0112] FIG. 9 illustrates a cross-sectional view in which a corner vertical beam of a modular unit structure is fixed using a bracket according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a bracket for fixing a corner vertical beam of a modular unit structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0113] Four corner vertical beams (121) of a modular unit structure (100) can be assembled and fixed. Specifically, among a plurality of connected modular unit structures (100), four modular unit structures (100) facing each other can be connected and fixed so that the corner vertical beams (121) come into contact with each other to form a single rectangular structure. In the following description, the rectangular structure (S1) formed by the four corner vertical beams (121a, 121b, 121c, 121d) may be referred to as the 'structure (S1)'.
[0114] Referring to FIG. 9, a structure (S1) is illustrated in which four corner vertical beams (121a, 121b, 121c, and 121d) are connected. For example, the lower right corner vertical beam (121a) of any modular unit structure (100) may come into contact with the lower left corner vertical beam (121b) of the modular unit structure (100) located to the right of the arbitrary modular unit structure (100).
[0115] Likewise, the upper right corner vertical beam (121c) located below the lower right corner vertical beam (121a) of any modular unit structure (100) may be in contact with the upper right corner vertical beam (121c) located below the arbitrary modular unit structure (100), and the upper left corner vertical beam (121d) of the modular unit structure (100) located diagonally to the lower right of the arbitrary modular unit structure (100) may also form a structure (S1) together.
[0116] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a structure (S1) can be fixed using a bracket (200). Referring to FIG. 10, in one embodiment, the bracket (200) may include a web (210) that wraps around a corner vertical beam (121) of a modular unit structure (100) and flanges (220) that extend from each end of the web (210).
[0117] The web (210) can wrap around two adjacent sides of each corner vertical beam (121) forming the structure (S1). The inner side of the web (210) may include a folded portion bent at 90 degrees. For example, the web (210) may have an 'L-shape'. In other words, the web (210) can wrap around half of the upper or lower surface and half of the side surface of the rectangular structure (S1).
[0118] The flange (220) is formed by extending from each end of the web (210) and may be a portion bent at 90 degrees from both ends of the web (210). The flange (220) may be formed by extending in a direction protruding from the structure (S1) when the bracket (200) wraps around the structure (S1).
[0119] In one embodiment, the bracket (200) may be manufactured by folding a flat plate three times, and the center portion may be a web (210) and both ends may be flanges (220).
[0120] A structure (S1) composed of four corner vertical beams (121) can be secured using four brackets (200). The brackets (200) can be assembled such that each web (210) wraps around the corner vertical beam (121) and each flange (220) faces each other.
[0121] In one embodiment, a plurality of fastening holes (221) may be formed in the flange (220). The fastening holes (221) may form through holes (or coaxial connections) when connected to another bracket (200).
[0122] For example, each bracket (200) can be secured by inserting a bolt through a fastening hole (221) formed in the flange (220) and tightening a nut. This fastening provides high strength and allows for easy separation and reassembly after installation. As another example, a rivet can be inserted through the fastening hole (221) and secured using a rivet gun. This fastening enables quick installation. As yet another example, the flange (220) and the fastening hole (221) can be aligned and secured by welding. This fastening may provide very high strength and durability.
[0123] A plurality of fastening holes (221) may be arranged along the longitudinal direction of the flange (220), and the fastening holes (221) may be formed symmetrically with respect to the center along the longitudinal direction of the flange (220). This is because a plurality of brackets (200) of the same shape may be used in different directions and orientations, and thus the fastening holes (221) of the brackets (200) connected to each other must be through.
[0124] In one embodiment, the length of the bracket (200) is substantially equal to the total length of the corner vertical beam (121), and is connected to completely wrap around the corner vertical beam (121), thereby allowing adjacent corner vertical beams (121) to make sufficient surface contact.
[0125] In this way, the bracket (200) strengthens the connection between the modular unit structures (100) through surface contact and improves the rigidity and stability of the entire structure. This enables objects such as displays forming the electronic display to withstand external shocks or vibrations without deformation. The bracket (200) can consistently align each modular unit structure (100) through precise position fixation due to surface contact.
[0126] This minimizes installation errors and allows the object installed on the installation structure (1) to maintain a flat and neat appearance. In addition, the surface contact method using the bracket (200) simplifies the installation process and enables rapid assembly of each modular unit structure. Furthermore, it is easy to replace or repair individual unit structures when necessary.
[0127] FIG. 11 illustrates a cross-sectional view in which an intermediate vertical beam of a modular unit structure according to one embodiment of the present invention is fixed using a bracket. FIG. 12 is a perspective view of a bracket for fixing an intermediate vertical beam of a modular unit structure according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[0128] Two intermediate vertical beams (122) of a modular unit structure (100) can be assembled and fixed. Specifically, among a plurality of connected modular unit structures (100), two modular unit structures (100) that are adjacent vertically can be connected and fixed so that the intermediate vertical beams (122a, 122b) come into contact with each other to form a single rectangular structure. Hereinafter, the rectangular assembly (S3) may be referred to as a 'structure (S3)'.
[0129] Referring to FIG. 11, a structure (S3) is illustrated in which two intermediate vertical beams (122a, 122b) are connected. For example, an intermediate vertical beam (122a) of any modular unit structure (100) positioned relatively higher (based on FIG. 11) may come into contact with an intermediate vertical beam (122b) of a modular unit structure (100) located below (based on FIG. 11) the arbitrary modular unit structure (100).
[0130] In one embodiment, the modular unit structure (100) may have a plurality of intermediate vertical beams (122), and the intermediate vertical beams (122a, 122b) of the upper and lower adjacent modular unit structures (100) may be formed at positions facing each other.
[0131] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the structure (S3) can be fixed using a bracket (300). Referring to FIG. 12, in one embodiment, the bracket (300) may include a web (310) that wraps around an intermediate vertical beam (122) of a modular unit structure (100) and flanges (320) that extend from each end of the web (310).
[0132] The web (310) can wrap around the upper or lower surface and side of the intermediate vertical beam (122) forming the structure (S3). The web (310) may include a flat section in contact with the upper or lower surface of the intermediate vertical beam (122) and a vertical section in contact with both sides of the intermediate vertical beam (122). The vertical section may be formed by bending the flat section at both ends of the web (310) at a 90-degree angle. For example, the web (310) may have a 'U-shape'. In other words, the web (210) can wrap around half of the upper or lower surface and side of the rectangular structure (S3).
[0133] The flange (320) is formed extending from each end of the web (310) and may be a portion bent at a 90-degree angle from both ends of the web (310). The flange (320) may be a portion bent at a 90-degree angle from the vertical portion of the web (310). The flange (320) may be formed extending in a direction protruding from the structure (S3) when the bracket (300) wraps around the structure (S3).
[0134] In one embodiment, the bracket (300) may be manufactured by folding a flat plate four times, and the center portion may be a web (310) and both ends may be flanges (320).
[0135] A structure (S3) composed of two intermediate vertical beams (122) can be secured using two brackets (300). The brackets (300) can be assembled such that each web (310) wraps around the intermediate vertical beam (122) and each flange (320) faces each other.
[0136] In one embodiment, a plurality of fastening holes (321) may be formed in the flange (320). The fastening holes (321) may form a through hole (or coaxial connection) when connected to another bracket (300).
[0137] For example, a bolt can be inserted through a fastening hole (321) formed in the flange (320) of each bracket (300) and a nut can be tightened to secure it. In another example, the fastening hole (321) may be riveted or welded.
[0138] A plurality of fastening holes (321) may be arranged along the longitudinal direction of the flange (320), and the fastening holes (321) may be formed symmetrically with respect to the center along the longitudinal direction of the flange (320). This is because a plurality of brackets (300) of the same shape may be used in different directions and orientations, and thus the fastening holes (321) of the brackets (300) connected to each other must be through.
[0139] In one embodiment, the length of the bracket (300) is substantially equal to the total length of the intermediate vertical beam (122), and is connected to completely wrap around the intermediate vertical beam (122), thereby allowing adjacent corner vertical beams (122) to sufficiently make surface contact.
[0140] The rectangular structures (S1, S3) described in FIGS. 9 to 12 can be configured to have the same size. The structure (S1), which is an assembly of corner vertical beams (121) described in FIGS. 9 and 10, is formed by four corner vertical beams (121a, 121b, 121c, 121d) being assembled radially, and the structure (S3), which is an assembly of intermediate vertical beams (122) described in FIGS. 11 and 12, is formed by two intermediate vertical beams (122a, 122b) being assembled vertically.
[0141] Accordingly, the corner vertical beam (121) and the middle vertical beam (122) may have the same height (h), but the width (w2) of the middle vertical beam (122) may have twice the length compared to the width (w1) of the corner vertical beam (121).
[0142] For example, referring to enlarged views A, B, C, and D shown in FIG. 13, a structure that is a combination of at least two of a horizontal beam (110), a vertical beam (120) (or a corner vertical beam (121)), a middle vertical beam (122), and a height beam (130) may have the same size.
[0143] For example, referring to enlarged views A and B of FIG. 13, the intermediate vertical beams (122) of vertically positioned modular unit structures (100) can be positioned to face each other to form a rectangular prism with a square cross-section. Additionally, referring to enlarged views C and D, the corner vertical beams (121) of adjacent modular unit structures (100) can be positioned to face each other to form a rectangular prism with a square cross-section.
[0144] In one embodiment of the present invention, among the corner vertical beams (121) of the modular unit structure (100) located at the top among the plurality of modular unit structures (100) forming the installation structure (1), the vertical beam (121e) located at the top corner can be in contact with the vertical beam (121e) located at the top corner of the adjacent modular unit structure (100) to form a rectangular parallelepiped structure (S2).
[0145] In one embodiment, a structure (S2) formed by a collection of vertical beams (121e) located at the upper corners can be fixed through the first bracket (200) and the second bracket (300) described in FIGS. 9 to 12. However, referring to FIG. 15, the present invention may provide a bracket (400) for the vertical beams (121e) located at the upper corners.
[0146] FIG. 15 is a perspective view of a bracket that fixes a vertical beam at the upper corner of a modular unit structure according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[0147] A bracket (400) may include a flange (410) having a fastening hole (411) formed therein and a joining surface (420) bent at 90 degrees from the flange (410). A structure (S2) in which two upper corner vertical beams (121e) are connected may be connected through two brackets (400), and the joining surface (420) of the bracket (400) may be fixed to the vertical beam (121e) so that the flanges (410) face each other and are connected symmetrically.
[0148] In one embodiment, the joining surface (420) is fixed to the vertical beam (121e) through a fastening means such as arc welding or a bolt, and the vertical beams (121e) at the upper corners can be fixed to each other by being fixed to the fastening hole (411) of the flange (410) through a fastening means such as a bolt and a nut.
[0149] FIG. 14 shows a plan view of an installation structure formed by connecting modular unit structures according to one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to enlarged view E of FIG. 14, an object (OB), such as a display, can be fixed to a height beam (130) on the front of the modular unit structure (100) through a bracket (400). The fixation between the bracket (400) and the height beam (130) can be achieved through arc welding or fastening means such as bolts and nuts.
[0150] For example, the joining surface (420) of a pair of brackets (400) can be fixed to each of the two sides of some of the multiple height beams (130) included in the modular unit structure (100).
[0151] The flange (410) of a pair of brackets (400) may be connected to an object (OB) or an object fastening unit (OBF) for securing the object (OB). In this embodiment, the length of the bracket (400) may have a length of at least a portion of the length of the height beam (130).
[0152] Referring again to FIG. 8, on the back surface of a modular unit structure (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention, an anchor fixed to a workpiece (5) or a member (not shown) for connecting to the anchor, and a bracket (301) for fixing an arbitrary height beam (130) may be used. The bracket (301) may have a shape and function that differs only in length from the bracket (300) described in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12.
[0153] As such, the present invention allows brackets (200, 300, 301, 400) having common numerical values and shapes to be adaptedly used for connecting between multiple modular unit structures (100) and for fixing between the modular unit structures (100) and the installed object (5) and object (OB), thereby improving installation cost-effectiveness and greatly increasing the convenience of maintenance and installation efficiency.
[0154] In addition, in the various embodiments of the present invention described above, the installation structure in which a plurality of modular unit structures (100) are arranged has a plurality of vertical beams (120) at the same height, that is, a structure (S1, S2) in which a plurality of corner vertical beams (121) are fixed and a structure (S3) in which a plurality of intermediate vertical beams (122) are fixed have the same size, thereby improving the rigidity and stability of the entire structure and enabling consistent alignment.
[0155] Referring again to FIG. 13, in one embodiment, a reinforcing beam (140) connecting two of the horizontal beams (110), vertical beams (120), and vertical beams (120) of the modular unit structure (100) may be further installed. Such reinforcing beams may further provide structural rigidity to the entire modular unit structure (100).
[0156] Referring to FIG. 16, in one embodiment, a platform (500) may be further attached to a vertical beam (120) of a modular unit structure (100). By having a collection of multiple vertical beams (120), that is, a structure (S1) in which multiple corner vertical beams (121) are fixed and a structure (S3) in which multiple intermediate vertical beams (122) are fixed, the vertical beams (120) may also have the same height, and a platform (500) may be stably installed on these vertical beams (120).
[0157] In one embodiment, a platform (500) is installed between a plurality of vertical beams (120, 121, 122) of a modular unit structure (100), and both ends of the platform (500) may be fixed on the first flange (220) of a first bracket (200) installed on the vertical beams (120, 121, 122) or the second flange (320) of a second bracket (300).
[0158] The fixation between both ends of the footrest (500) and the first flange (220) of the first bracket (200) or the second flange (320) of the second bracket (300) can be secured through a bolt that passes through a plurality of fastening holes (221, 322) formed longitudinally on the flanges (200, 300).
[0159] In the present invention, a simple installation can be provided by placing both ends of a step (500), which can be used by a worker when installing the modular unit structures (100) on the installation object (5), on the flanges (220, 320) of the brackets (200, 300) for fixing the plurality of modular unit structures (100).
[0160] An installation structure according to one embodiment of the present invention, specifically a plurality of modular unit structures (100), is connected by a bracket (200), but is not limited thereto. Within the technical concept of connecting a plurality of modular unit structures, various modifications such as welding, pin connection, sliding connection, and magnetic connection are possible.
[0161] An installation structure using a modular unit structure according to one embodiment of the present invention has the effect of minimizing installation errors and resulting structural deformation that may occur during the installation of an installation structure on which an object is installed, by fixing and connecting adjacent modular unit structures in a predetermined area such that vertical beams located at the corners come into contact with each other to form a single rectangular structure.
