Abstract
The invention relates to an integral, industrialized, modular dwelling system which is based on modular, multi-functional, three-dimensional modules that are made from reinforced concrete. The modules, roofing and components are produced in a semi-automated covered plant in which the modules are first cast and set and subsequently provided with integrated finishes, installations, accessories, partitions and details. The invention also relates to a method for constructing the modules, a retractable flexible mold for casting said modules and a method for the on-site building of dwellings using the inventive three-dimensional modules.
Claims4
An integral system for manufacturing industrialized modular dwelling, consisting of a factory for on line production of different kind modules comprising reinforced concrete modules, to be afterwards assembled in situ for constructing dwellings, characterized by consisting of a carrousel system comprising:
- a delivery area in which material needed for manufacturing said modules is received;
- a steel and installation preparation section in which reinforcing steel for the reinforced concrete modules is prepared and welded and afterwards assembled and arranged in a form of kits on racks;
- a concrete plant provided with planetary mixers and which provides high quality autocompressible concrete and mixture blending, including color addition;
- a mold production area in which molds for casting the reinforced concrete modules are formed and prepared for casting;
- a casting area in which casting of the reinforced concrete modules is performed on line;
- a final curing zone in which curing of the cast reinforced concrete modules takes place;
- a wheel and track mobile system, which provides lateral and longitudinal movements preventing warping or over-strains in prefabricated products;
- a zone for preparing the details and finishes of said reinforced concrete modules which in turn comprises a preparation area;
- a furniture accessories integration area;
- a prefabricated component integration area;
- and a painting area;
- and
- a storage and/or assembly zone in which said fabricated reinforced concrete modules are stored for their later delivery to a construction-site.
