Definitions
- the present patent application refers to multidisciplinary technical fields of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering and particularly concerns a connecting plate (1) for infrastructural connection of habitable modules (2), based on a coupling system of standardized shipping containers to structures adapted to receive them (receiving structures, also known as motherboard (3)), including all specific and necessary systems of transportation, lifting (4), docking and coupling .
- the present invention allows for a habitable module (2) to be seen as a tradable good, separable, easily transportable and exportable, solving many difficulties arising from the natural itineration of people, companies, institutions as well as their respective spaces and goods, through introduction of a system that allows for the use of shipping containers normalized for transportation by sea, and which are also used in commercial air transport, as housing solution with high mobility and sustainability .
- the present invention refers to an ancient need, expressed in several moments of recent history, to achieve low-cost mobile housing.
- the first references and patents identified refer to similar solutions to the invention herein proposed, are found in 1947 (US 2499498), during post-war period, mentioning a solution of habitable modules for mounting structures in height, by crane.
- This solution both ingenious and inventive, lacked universality of its infrastructural support and the module itself did not correspond to our current standardized shipping containers.
- the present provided invention has goals and ambitions well precise and defined.
- the present invention provides a means to change the paradigm of housing, by introducing "mobility factor” in a universal, cross-sectional and economic way, in various housing related markets. What makes this solution unique, in a completely new and innovative way, is the systematic way through which it addresses, from a technical, urban and social point of view, , the natural difficulties arising from the use of known solutions for housing mobility .
- motherboard (3) structures prepared to receive habitable modules (2), ensure variety of solutions and consequent adaptability to multiple cultures, territories and geographies, in addition to a wide variety of markets. Even though motherboard (3) structures can be built with any structural material (common or not) existent in the market, they are preferably designed as metallic structures and therefore dismantable, reusable and evolutionary by enhancing the sustainability of the overall provided solution.
- the connecting plate (1) makes it possible to solve a common problem in this market which is the optimization of the infrastructural operation together with the high alternation of habitable modules (2) between housing locations. Its accurate location both in the habitable module (2) and in the actual receiving structure motherboard (3) reinforce the already mentioned universality and make it easy, fast and convenient for its infrastructural coupling/decoupling, handling and subsequent use.
- the connecting plate besides plugging each connection, includes closing lids or caps (6) on the female module which, after disconnecting, ensures total sealing and protection of the infrastructures during transport.
- the alveolar structure is the physical space wherein all these elements come together, in a precise and structured way to ensure the functioning of the system and the general objectives of the invention.
- the proposed system aims to enable and facilitate, as previously mentioned, this same mobility, using adapted shipping containers to housing/trade/services purposes and integrable in docking structures - designated by motherboard (3) - by simplifying the process of infrastructural connection (manual or automatic) in a universal and economical way.
- mobile housing includes not only the housing itself, but also offices and warehouses, among other types of habitable spaces.
- habitable module refers to standard maritime containers adapted and intended to be attached to motherboard receiving structures, in accordance with the constraints herein described, where adaptation is understood as the inclusion of female connecting plates (9) (11) and door openings (16) in local and specific designated ranges.
- motherboard 1 (3) identifies a receiving structure and includes the building set and all the structural, infrastructural , technical and architectural elements required, in each context, necessary for the proper functioning of the habitable module (2) when properly coupled and docked.
- connecting plate (1) refers to the set of interface infrastructural elements comprising it, grouped in male-female modules (8) (9) (10) (11), on a fixed and universal basis, enabling the coupling/decoupling to be easy, fast, safe and economic for any habitable module (2) to motherboard structures (3) .
- alveolar structure refers to the area of structural delivery for the "habitable module” (2) to the motherboard structure (3) which also includes all attachments/infrastructural connections, spatial and docking related (15) between both.
- the coupling/uncoupling of the above mentioned plates between the habitable module (2) and the motherboard (3) uses a set of complementary parts of male-female type (8) (9) (10) (11) that assembles the corresponding infrastructural connections and a method for coupling (manual or automatic) that connects/disconnects after horizontal displacement movement.
- the infrastructural connections are divided into two groups, both in correspondence between habitable module (2) and motherboard (3) .
- the provided system in the present patent application comprises :
- An upper connecting plate (1) comprising two modules, with one male (8) and one female (9), comprising connections both for supply of electricity (35) and for data network (35) , as well as a link for exhaustion purposes (33), including an output of sanitary facilities and another one from the kitchen area (34) (Fig.12) .
- a lower connecting plate (1) comprising two modules, one male (10) and one female (11), comprising sanitary water supply (28), hot water (29) (30) and cold water (31) (32) for heating/cooling and independently draining of black wastewater (26) and wastewater containing soap (27) (Fig.12) .
- the connecting plate's body (1) is built with a conical format in order to allow the fitting, manual or automatic, coordinated with the installation of the Habitable Module on the motherboard (3) which is performed, by its turn, resorting a stacking machine or stacker (36), a lifting machine or lift (37) or a crane (38) among other similar available systems (Fig.14) .
- the whole system is designed to withstand frequent travelling and displacement, in different climates, even extreme, and long periods of permanence.
- Figure 1 illustrates the general purpose of the present invention.
- This diagram shows one of the foreseeable uses of the present invention by the housing market. Summarizes and illustrates one of the possible uses exposing the process since the acquisition after manufacture until the end use, including its various moments.
- a finished habitable module (59)
- the transportation which resorts to the natural means to which it is adapted 60
- the coupling (61)
- the consequent use (62)

- Figure 3 illustrates the general scheme of operation of the modular system of the present invention.
- the habitable module (2) is positioned in order to be collected by part of the lifting system (4) and includes, in this case, placement of rollers (12) underneath the habitable module (2) for subsequent sliding, within rails (13) until it reaches the fitting alveolar structure (7) .
- Figure 4 illustrates the general scheme of operation of the modular system of the present invention.
- the lifting system (4) herein considered holds the habitable module (2) and prepares its vertical displacement up to the alignment with the alveolar structure (7) .
- Figure 5 illustrates the general scheme of operation of the modular system of the present invention.
- the lifting system (4) after synchronization with the support rails (13) that support the habitable module (2) of the motherboard (3) is ready to start its horizontal displacement with the aid of a winch with engine (14) .
- Figure 6 illustrates the general scheme of operation of the modular system of the present invention.
- the habitable module (2) completes the displacement and is prepared to perform the infrastructural connection through connecting plate (1) and its docking (best defined in Figure 11) .
- Figure 7 illustrates the general scheme of infrastructural connection of the habitable module with the motherboard, since the moment of horizontal displacement up to the fitting and subsequent docking and coupling, through the connecting plate (1) .
- the system is ready to operate automatically and to be robotized, it should, for economic reasons, be considered manual docking and coupling, because the required labour force is insignificant.
- Figure 8 illustrates the general scheme of operation of the modular system of the present invention.
- the habitable module (2) reverses the displacement and is prepared to be collected by the lifting system after undocking and decoupling from the motherboard (3) for subsequent placement in suitable means of transportation (truck, boat or train) .
- Figure 9 illustrates the container and the settings are considered to be essential to ensure the universality of the proposed solution.
- the location of female modules (9) (11) within the habitable module (2) must have precise ranges, which will be defined in the vertical axis defined by the base of the said module and, in both cases, centered on its axis. There is a distance to the base of 0.151 m (20) from the beginning of the female module (11) which, in turn, will be 0.40 m in height (21), followed by a vertical distance of 1,522 m (22) up to female module (9) that will have the same 0.40 m in height (21) .
- doors (16) their location should be defined from the vertical axes that define the width of the habitable module in fitting position, which should always ensure a gap of 0.181m (17) and displaying a width (18) that should vary between the minimum acceptable to ensure access to the habitable module, and a maximum that will depend on the delivery of the habitable module to the motherboard, excluding the thickness of the outer wall (24) .
- the height (19) of the door should comply with the minimum legal requirements.
- Figure 10 illustrates the alveolar structure (7) and the settings are considered to be essential to ensure the universality of the proposed solution.
- Location of male modules on the motherboard (3) should have precise intervals which will be defined in function of the vertical axis defined by the base of the housing module (2) and, in both cases, centered with the axis of said module, always in reference to infrastructural " courette” (64) .
- the location should be defined from the vertical axes that define the habitable module width when in fitting position, which should always ensure a gap of 0.181m (17) and presenting a width (65) which should correspond to a maximum extent that will depend on the delivery of the habitable module to the motherboard (3), excluding the thickness of the outer wall (24) .
- the height of the door (66) should be the equivalent to the full height of the corridor of the motherboard (3) because it will also work as part of a partition wall in case of multiple habitable modules (2) aggregation.
- FIG 11 illustrates the alveolar structure (7) of the motherboard (3) with the identification of the essential elements which comprise it, including one of the infrastructural schemes of motherboard to consider. These are the following:
