Prefabricated volumetric construction modules with adjustable support columns
The patent US12031318B1 outlines a method for constructing buildings using prefabricated volumetric modules designed to create open spaces without obstructing vertical columns. The method involves fabricating transforming volumetric modules that consist of a habitation zone and a truss zone above it. These modules feature vertical support columns that can fold at a designated joint, allowing for efficient transport by reducing their height. Upon arrival at the construction site, the modules are arranged into a specified floorplan configuration, with interior modules placed first, followed by edge modules. The vertical support columns of the interior modules are then transitioned from a vertical to a truss arrangement, facilitating the installation of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) elements within the truss zone.
Additionally, the method allows for the reconfiguration of these modules at different locations. It includes steps for transitioning the vertical support columns back to a vertical arrangement, removing the modules in reverse order, and reconstructing them at a new site. The patent specifies that the modules can be categorized as either edge or interior modules, with various configurations for the vertical support columns, including static and transforming designs. The method also incorporates features such as leveling feet for height adjustment during the vertical arrangement and the potential for multiple floors, with vertical columns stacked between them. Overall, this innovative construction method emphasizes modularity and flexibility, enabling efficient building processes while maintaining structural integrity.
