DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
In the FIG. 1 a canopy A or covering roof is shown in the form of a large tent 1. It easily can be imagined as a circus tent, but it is obvious that according to the invention any suitable cover structure that can be dismantled (e.g. a structure of steel struts and cover plates) could be used as well.
The form and the dimensions of the canopy A are chosen in function of the size of the mobile plant to be realised. Of importance is just the fact that the canopy can be easily dismantled and transported.
In the FIG. 2 an imaginable lay-out plan is shown of the inventive mobile plant in a practical form of realisation. The reference numbers in the Figure indicate the following working elements:
- 1. Pivotable and tiltable assembly table,
- 1.1 Assembly table for tunnel system,
- 1.2 Assembly table for pillars,
- 1.3 Assembly table for stairs,
- 1.4 Various productions,
- 1.5 Electric lifting winch.
It is to be noted here that in the FIG. 2 a mobile plant is represented, which is apt to produce a whole series of different elements of brick material. The arrangement of assembly tables 1 through 1.3, required according to the present invention, thus depends on the type of building construction to be realised and is easily adapted to the requirements. Also the size of the canopy A is to be chosen according to the specific requirements that can vary according to the buildings to be erected, be it an industrial building (large tent) or an urban residential building or a multi-storey building, etc.
A water tank reservoir is indicated with 2 (always required except in cases where a sufficient local water supply can be relied on, while 3 indicates a concrete mixer.
In the FIGS. 3.1 and 3.2 each a deposit for inert materials and a cement mortar distributor are shown, i.e. elements for work rationalisation in the mobile plant. In the FIG. 4 a storage deposit area is shown for the brick elements required for producing the various panel elements of brick material and mortar (compare the description in the EP-1273729A2 cited), whereas in the FIG. 5.1 a shop for preparing reinforcing iron rods for the panel elements of brick material and mortar is shown. In the FIG. 6 an installation is shown for generating auxiliary means (steam, electric current, compressed air, etc.), and in the FIG. 7 a container is shown for offices, sanitary installations, dormitories for workers, canteen, etc.
Evidently the presence of these services can depend on the local requirements where the building activity takes place. Conditions permitting dormitories for workers thus will be dispensed with, etc., and the facilities available locally will be relied on. In any case the mobile plant can be provided with all these services in such a manner that it can operate autonomously with respect to the working conditions in its environment. It is to be noted here also, that in the example of practical realisation according to the FIG. 2, also transportable floor planks 10 are provided permitting easier transport of the panel elements produced, and a lifting winch 11 for facilitating internal transport. It is clear that provision of such transport equipment elements will be adapted to each task of the mobile plant, of which in the FIG. 2 just a practical example is shown. All and any variation of the lay-out described here of a mobile plant for producing prefab elements must be considered as fitting into the frame of the present invention, under the condition that every equipment element, which is part of the mobile plant, be mounted on trailers and/or in containers transportable by road or by rail to the building site. This actually is the basic characteristic of the present invention.
In the FIG. 3 the lay-out of the mobile plant according to the FIG. 2 is shown schematically in a section demonstrating that the individual equipment elements 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 are mounted onto trailers and thus can be easily transported by road. In the FIG. 4 the base plan of transport of the equipment shows that the assembly tables 1, . . . 1.3 can be transported by road in their transport configuration. An analogue solution easily can be imagined for transport by rail.
In the FIG. 4.1 a particular preferred realisation form of the present invention is shown, in which the assembly table 1 is mounted on a trailer 12 (compare also the FIG. 4) of a truck (not shown) and is provided with a horizontal hinge 13 permitting pivoting of the assembly table 1 from a vertical filling and transport position (FIG. 4) into a horizontal working and unpacking position indicated in the FIG. 4.1. This system facilitates work in the mobile plant.
In the FIG. 5 then a possible block plan is shown of the inventive mobile plant. This illustration is self-explanatory and shows the base constitution of the inventive mobile plant.
In the FIG. 6 a plan, a side view and a section are shown of an assembly table 1 for producing wall panels with double layer elements of brick material on the trailer 12, during transport, whereas in the FIG. 6.1 a plan, a side view and a section are shown of an assembly table 1 for producing wall panels with double layer elements of brick material on the trailer 12, during the working phase on the ground.
In the FIG. 7 a plan, a side view and a section are shown of a container for preparing the reinforcing iron rods for producing the panel elements of brick material and mortar. Also this container is provided with walls that tilt down and can be opened, which container contains e.g. the following items: reinforcing iron bender 15 (left), work bench 16, reinforcing iron bender 17 (right), reinforcing net cutter 18, reinforcing net bender 19.
In the FIG. 8 finally the complete concrete mixer plant is shown in a plan and in a side view, which also is mounted on a trailer 12 for easy transport to the building site according to the teachings of the present invention. In this Figure, shown at the upper right, a possible location is indicated of the equipment element 3 under the canopy structure A.
According to a preferred realisation form of the present invention it is provided that the equipment elements 1 through 6 be disposed under the canopy structure A in such a manner that the production of the panel elements of brick material and mortar is effected according to the one-way principle, where the starting materials enter at one side of the canopy structure A whereas the assembled panel elements of brick material and mortar emerge at the opposite side of the canopy structure A. This can be seen e.g. e.g. from the schematic block plan according to the FIG. 5, where the starting materials (brick material elements, etc.) enter at the left hand side whereas the finished panel elements emerge (towards the building site) at the right hand side in a straight linear flow. This procedure, rationalising the production process, certainly is not new as such, but is novel and original as applied in the framework of a mobile plant like the inventive one described.
The advantages of the inventive mobile plant basically are the rationalisation of the construction of residential and industrial buildings, especially if large building projects are dealt with (e.g. building of new settlements or residential developments for tourists, or rebuilding after nature disasters, etc.) with corresponding savings in building cost, owing to the fact that after completion of the buildings the mobile plant easily can be dismantled and be transported to another building site. Not to be neglected are the ecologic advantages owing to the elimination of transports otherwise required for bringing personnel and prefab panel elements built elsewhere to the installation site, in cases over hundreds of kilometres.
