System for hydraulic lifting using metal pile heads with hydraulic cylinders, for flood protection of modular homes in a floodable area

Abstract

The present invention relates to a hydraulic lifting system intended for protecting modular homes against flooding in floodable areas. This system uses metal pile heads intended to be attached to piles by bolting (reference sign 2), and equipped with high-performance hydraulic cylinders and an automated control system for monitoring water levels. When a flood risk is detected, the cylinders are activated to gradually raise the modular home above the water level, thereby providing effective protection. Once the danger has passed, the system lowers the home safely to its original position. This innovation combines advanced technology and practical design to ensure the safety of the inhabitants in areas that are at risk of flooding.

Description

Description Title of the invention: Hydraulic Lifting System using metal pile heads with hydraulic jacks for Flood Protection of Modular Habitats in Flood Zones.

[0001] The present invention relates to a Hydraulic Lifting system using metal pile heads with a hydraulic jack to be fixed by bolts to screw piles or others for Anti-Flood Protection of Modular Habitats located in flood zones.

[0002] The complete lifting system to enable the modular housing to be kept out of water in the event of flooding is made up of reusable and recyclable screw piles or other materials (item 1), metal pile heads with hydraulic jacks (item 2), metal or wooden beams for floor support (item 3), an external guide system with rollers (in the corners of the housing) for wedging and ensuring the correct movement of the raising and lowering of the housing (item 5) and an automated control system integrated into the metal pile heads to lift and protect individual or collective housing in a short period of time, thus providing essential protection against the devastating effects of flooding.

[0003] Modular buildings currently available in flood-prone areas are not equipped with a hydraulic lifting system to secure the home during flooding. Homeowners are often forced to endure the disaster and, once the water recedes, carry out repairs or restoration work.

[0004] The invention allows its owner to protect their habitat when weather conditions indicate a threat of flooding, the system enters preparation mode by constantly monitoring water levels using integrated sensors. When the water level reaches a critical threshold, the system activates the pile heads with hydraulic jacks, gradually lifting the modular habitat above the water level safely with the help of external guides.

[0005] Once the flood risk has diminished and the waters have begun to recede, the system gradually reduces the hydraulic pressure, allowing the habitat to return to its original position smoothly and safely.

[0006] The invention was designed to meet the needs of at-risk areas. This system uses advanced, automated hydraulic technologies to raise modular homes above water level and lower them safely once the flood risk has passed, ensuring the safety and peace of mind of residents in at-risk areas. All this by combining cutting-edge technology with intelligent design.

[0007] MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE COMPLETE LIFTING SYSTEM: • Reusable and recyclable screw piles or others (Reference 1). At the heart of the system are robust screw piles or others, which ensure a solid and stable fixation in the ground. These piles provide a reliable base for the modular housing support system. • Hydraulic Jack Metal Pile Heads (Reference 2): The metal pile heads are equipped with high-performance hydraulic jacks and an automated control system to lift and maintain the modular habitat above the water level during periods of flooding. • Supporting structure of the floor by Metal or Wooden Beams (Reference 3): The metal or wooden beams serve as support for the platform which will receive the lower floor of the modular habitat. These beams are firmly fixed on the heads of piles with hydraulic jacks, ensuring a solid and resistant structure. • Automated Control System: An automated control system is integrated to continuously monitor surrounding water levels. When the system detects an imminent flood risk, it activates the hydraulic cylinders to lift the modular habitat above the water level. Once the danger has passed and the water has receded, the system automatically lowers the habitat to its original position. • Stability roller guide system (Reference 5): A guide system (rail and roller) is fixed in each corner of the habitat allowing the wedging and ensuring the correct movement of the rise and fall during floods so that it returns to its basic position. KEY BENEFITS OF INNOVATION#:

[0008] • Flood Protection: The system provides reliable flood protection by raising the modular housing above the water level, thus preventing water damage. • Automation: Automated functionality enables rapid response to flood threats, reducing the time and effort required to protect homes. • Safety and Reliability: High-quality hydraulic components ensure safe and reliable operation, ensuring the safety of residents and property. • ZAN (Zero artificialization of soils): The system allows for no artificialization of soils.

[0009] The device according to the invention is particularly intended for individual or collective modular construction for residential, tourist, tertiary and medical use located in flood zones.
