Description

The present invention relates to a container building with an interior formed from at least one container, which is bounded by a ceiling wall, a bottom wall and by a plurality of side walls which extend transversely to the top wall and the bottom wall.

Container buildings are buildings that are constructed from containers in space-cell construction. Depending on the equipment, they are suitable for allowing people to live, work or live in them temporarily or permanently. Most such container buildings are composed of individual steel containers. Depending on the number of containers used, this makes it possible to produce smaller room units as well as larger, interconnected buildings. The size of these buildings can be from individual containers, including one single container, ranging up to multi-storey buildings. A space defined by one or more containers (within the container (s)) is often referred to as a space cell.

Frequently standardized, so-called ISO containers are used for container buildings of this type. These ISO containers originate from freight traffic where they are used as freight or shipping containers. One common type of container is the so-called 20-foot container, which has outside dimensions of 6.058 mx 2.438 mx 2.591 m. These 20-foot containers are often used lightly in container buildings, sometimes heavily modified. They are characterized in particular by their mobility (favorable loading capacity) as well as by their flexible type of placement in the interior of the container. Container buildings can therefore be built from these containers relatively easily and quickly modular.

The container buildings are often used as temporary buildings for field operations or in places where due to acute space requirements such a fast buildable and degradable building advantage. Likewise, such container buildings are used as construction site containers, but also as school containers or for refugee shelters or as dormitories.

Other applications are military and humanitarian field operations, where container buildings are used as mobile field kitchens, mobile healthcare facilities (mobile operating theaters) or as mobile sanitary facilities. It goes without saying that this list can be continued indefinitely. The latter examples of use of the container buildings for military and humanitarian field operations are summarized herein under the term container building for use as a mobile field supply device. Typical applications of these mobile field supply facilities are military exercises or deployments of larger groups of troops, but also humanitarian applications, for example. As part of a disaster relief in an earthquake area. Although the present invention, in its preferred embodiment, relates to the latter applications, it is not limited thereto.

The following types of container buildings are already known from the prior art:

The CN-201284514 Y shows a container building prefabricated from one or more containers. In essence, this document refers to a provided on the roof of the container drainage system, whereby a regulated water drainage is to be achieved.

Furthermore, from the JP 11350759 A a container known which is used as a mobile sanitary facility. For this purpose, sanitary facilities, in particular a bathroom with shower and a toilet unit, are provided inside the container. Due to the standard properties of the container, it can be transported on a vehicle so that the bathroom toilet container can be used in different locations.

A similar prefabricated in sections, so-called. Elemented space cell, which is designed in particular as a sanitary wet cell, is from the DE 299 10 671 U1 known. The wet cell disclosed therein is characterized, inter alia, by the fact that the preferably multi-layered side wall parts are designed to be moisture-proof or waterproof at least in their core. In this way, the sanitary wet cell can be cleaned easily and over a large area without damaging the side walls in its core.

A basic problem that the above-mentioned prior art documents address only partially or not at all is the manner in which such container buildings are connected to external power, air, fuel and / or water supplies. Due to the often very varying interior equipment depending on the customer, such supply connections and lines are usually adapted individually to the container building concept to be realized. The installation of the lines and connections is usually done manually in a late stage of the production of the container building, but sometimes only on the spot where the container building should ultimately be built. Experience shows that for time and cost reasons, it improvises relatively frequently.

In most cases, all lines (electrical, diesel, water and / or air supply lines) are either laid loosely inside the container building, or mounted "flushed" on the inner side walls of the container building, i. open and visible laid. This not only has aesthetic disadvantages. Also hygienic reasons can speak against such a type of installation. In particular, in heavily loaded and robust to be interpreted container buildings, which are used, for example. For military applications, such a line arrangement can often be tolerated also from a safety point of view. These container buildings must be cleaned frequently. An open type of cable laying is then more of a disadvantage. Even if safety concerns do not matter or are solved in any other way, such a free way of routing the utility lines is often associated with immense production costs and long setup times. For individual adaptation of the container building, all lines must then be laid individually and locally manually and connected to the supply facilities (for example provided outside the container building).

Often a multiplicity of openings must be cut into the outer shell of the container building in order to guide the individual supply lines into and out of the container building. Again, this is time consuming and expensive. However, when using such container buildings as military or humanitarian field supply facilities, the construction and installation of the container building must proceed relatively quickly in order to be able to use the container building as easily as possible at different locations or to relocate it quickly to other locations.

From the EP 1 453 724 B1 is a built up of a variety of containers container building known, the individual containers are externally connected to a container block. The containers shown therein form a living area, in particular for offshore applications on board ships. Of the Living area is composed of several over- and / or side by side arranged container cabins. The container cabins are in turn combined to form a cabin block with walls, ceilings and floors for each cabin. A key idea is that each cabin block has a common connection for the supply and / or disposal lines. In this way, a larger unit, namely the entire cabin block, be prefabricated from several cabins. The individual cabins can be completely equipped with supply and disposal lines, which are each led to a common connection (central connection).

Also in the case of the EP 1 453 724 B1 known container building remains a logistically well organized in the interior of the individual container and mechanically robust way of laying the pipe continues to be problematic. Although the individual cabins are logistically combined into an entire cabin block with central supply and disposal connection. Nevertheless, the individual supply lines must be installed manually within the individual containers, which is most likely, as already described above, disorderly by an open and visible from the outside laying of the individual lines and connections. A permanent fixed installation of the individual supply lines and connections within the individual containers would be conceivable. However, this would again be disadvantageous from the point of view of the often demanded rapid exchange possibility of defective lines.

From document WO 2004/106669 a container building with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known.

Against this background, it is an object of the present invention to provide a container building, which is particularly suitable for use in military and / or humanitarian field operations and is optimally designed for such applications from a mechanical and logistical point of view. A core aspect should be a simple way of laying the supply lines and connections, which allows a fast and freely configurable by the customer line and connection arrangement, without unduly increasing the production and installation costs of the container building inappropriate.

This object is achieved according to claim 1 by a container building of the type mentioned above, wherein at least one of the side walls of the at least one container has an inner wall cladding, in which for receiving and mechanical guidance of power supply, air supply, fuel and / or water pipes a supply shaft is integrated, wherein the supply shaft is covered with a cover strip which separates the supply shaft from the interior of the container building, and wherein in the cover strip at least one opening for attachment of terminals to the power, air supply, fuel and / or water pipes is provided ,

An essential point of the present invention is thus to provide a along a side wall of the at least one container extending central supply shaft in which all power, air supply, fuel and / or water pipes can be performed. For this purpose, an inner wall panel is attached to the respective side wall of the container. Since the supply shaft is integrated in this inner wall cladding and is preferably covered with a cover strip made of metal, the individual cables and lines from the outside (ie from the interior of the container considered) are not visible. A risk of damage to individual cables or cables is minimized. A risk of injury is almost impossible, since the working in the interior of the container building or in it persons can not get stuck on one of the pipes or pipes or there is a risk that they trip over it. Due to the hidden arrangement of the supply lines in the cover shaft covered with the supply shaft, the interior of the container can also be cleaned over a large area, without causing the cleaning fluid to get into or even into the supply lines. The inner wall cladding and the cover strip serve as splash protection. In particular, the lines routed in the supply shaft should be splash-proof.

However, one of the main advantages of the arrangement according to the invention is that the supply shaft can be equipped individually. The supply shaft can be independent of the later to be realized internal structure of the container building already manufacturer side in the inner wall lining of the container building integrate. The internal structure can then be made later according to customer requirements, without the need for major conversions. Namely, the required supply lines no longer have to be laid individually as before and mounted separately on the inner wall of the container, but can be drawn in or inserted directly through the already prefabricated supply shaft. Likewise, the nature of the attachment of the individual connections is substantially simplified because they can be mounted or attached to the already provided in the cover strip openings.

When using the container building according to the invention as a mobile kitchen field, the container building and its interior can thus install relatively quickly on the spot. The kitchen appliances can be placed, for example, along the side walls and connected to the provided in the cover strip connections. Due to the central routing of the supply line within the supply shaft, the repair or replacement of individual lines is just as easy and fast. By their "tidy" arrangement, the individual lines are easy to find. Since these are preferably not firmly integrated within the supply shaft, they can be relatively easily and quickly pulled out of this again.

Moreover, another basic idea is fulfilled by the arrangement according to the invention, namely the consistent separation of the outer shell of the container building from its internal equipment. The equipment of the supply shaft as well as the connection of the individual devices used in the container building to it is in fact freely selectable by the customer. In order to be able to ensure the supply of energy, air, fuel and / or water to as many points as possible within the container building, the supply shaft preferably runs on all inner side walls of the container building, that is to say on both the longitudinal and the transverse side walls no door is provided. This can be done by a single, continuous supply shaft. Alternatively, however, separate supply shafts may be provided on the different side walls of the container building. An attachment to or in the ceiling and / or bottom wall is generally conceivable. Of course, several supply shafts per wall may be provided.

Under an integration in the inner wall cladding in the present case, for example, an arrangement of the supply shaft is considered, wherein the supply shaft is at least partially embedded in the inner wall cladding, or is arranged hidden inside this. In principle, any type of inner wall or wall covering which covers the structurally determined inner wall of the container building towards the inner space (preferably completely) can be used as inner wall cladding.

The above object is therefore completely solved.

According to the invention, the inner wall cladding on a groove-shaped recess which extends substantially parallel to the top wall and the bottom wall, wherein the supply shaft is formed as a separate housing which is adapted to the shape of the groove-shaped recess and arranged therein.

The supply shaft, which can also be referred to as a cable channel, is preferably designed as an extruded aluminum profile, the shape of which is adapted to the groove-shaped recess in the inner wall lining. An arrangement of the supply shaft which is selected parallel to the ceiling and bottom wall offers the particular advantage that the supply shaft can be easily accessed from outside and the connections can be arranged distributed over the entire width of the respective side wall.

In a further preferred embodiment, the inner wall panel is covered in a top region, which extends between the recess and the ceiling wall, with a first cover plate and covered in a lower region which extends between the recess and the bottom wall with a second cover plate.

The two cover plates thus preferably cover the remaining areas of the respective side wall toward the interior. Seen from the interior of the container building, so only the two cover plates and the cover of the supply shaft are externally visible on the respective side wall. This creates a substantially continuous inner wall. The two cover plates serve both as a splash guard and as a crash protection, which protects the inner structure of the inner wall lining from damage. Both in the upper area and in the lower area, instead of just one but also two cover plates can be arranged.

In a further embodiment, a first joint is provided between the first cover plate and the cover strip of the supply shaft. Likewise, a second joint is provided between the second cover plate and the cover strip of the supply shaft. The first and second joints are preferably sealed with a seal.

An intermediate space arising at the interface between the cover plates and the cover strip of the supply shaft is, for example, sealed with a sealant. Preferably, a front part of the supply shaft is flush with the two cover plates. Due to the seal and the supply shaft itself or its interior is protected from splash water. This is particularly advantageous when using the container building as a mobile field supply device. The interior can thus be sprayed large area, which is often required in field operations due to the automatically carried by the staff with in the container building into the dirt.

In a further preferred embodiment, the first and / or the second cover plate are designed as continuous, seamless stainless steel plates.

The cover strip of the supply shaft is preferably made of stainless steel. Above and below the supply shaft according to this embodiment flush mounted each have a large steel plate. Total receives So you have a smooth stainless steel wall, which consists in the upper and in the lower part of a continuous, seamless stainless steel plate, and is covered in the central area by the stainless steel cover of the supply shaft on which the installation ports can be arranged.

According to a further embodiment, the first and / or the second cover plate are designed as stainless steel plates, which each have a maximum of one joint. An intermediate joint may be provided in particular in the stainless steel plates, which are arranged on the longitudinal sides of the container walls. This maximum one joint per stainless steel plate is preferably vertical when installed.

The supply shaft holds in addition to the variable installation possibility also has the advantage that this subdivides the respective side wall of the container (or divides into two parts). Otherwise, the use of seamless stainless steel plates or stainless steel plates with only one joint would most likely not be possible. Without the subdivision with the help of the supply shaft, the required stainless steel plates for full-surface coverage of the entire side wall (with only one or two stainless steel plates) would be too large to install these cost-effectively. In particular, the handling of stainless steel plates in the construction of the container building would be much more difficult. However, the use of stainless steel is generally preferred. Stainless steel is robust, heat- and water-resistant, which is of immense advantage especially in field kitchens.

In a further embodiment, it is provided that the inner wall paneling is constructed in a multi-layered manner and has a stud wall on which the first and the second cover plate are fastened.

Such a stud wall can be relatively easy and fast to build. Moreover, it serves as a robust support structure of the inner wall lining. To save weight, the stud wall is preferably made of a wooden construction which is "floating" in the container building. Between the outer walls of the container, which are preferably made of steel, and the on the stator wall mounted stainless steel plates is preferably arranged insulating material. In the area of the supply shaft, the insulating material is recessed in the required depth in order to produce the above-mentioned groove-shaped recess in the inner wall cladding, in which the supply shaft is arranged. The insulation of the individual side walls with insulating or insulating material is necessary because the container building according to the invention in the field operations already described often under extreme weather conditions (eg. At - 40 ° C) is used. Otherwise, a pleasant work or stopping inside the container would hardly be possible. The attachment of the two cover plates on the stator wall can be detachable or non-detachable, glued spielsweise, be.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the supply shaft is divided into several sub-shafts spatially.

The supply shaft may, for example, have a plurality of separate lumens to lead fuel lines, water pipes and electrical lines separately from each other. This not only guarantees a better order and better accessibility to the individual lines guided in the supply shaft, but at the same time also prevents the media carried in the lines from adversely affecting one another. Individual manholes or lumens of the supply shaft can already be additionally sealed in the factory. In question is an additional thermal insulation of a single sub-shaft or an electrostatic insulation of a single sub-shaft.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the supply shaft opens into a connection plate which is integrated in one of the side walls, wherein the connection plate has a plurality of openings for bringing in and / or out of energy supply, air supply, fuel and / or water lines having the container building. Preferably, all openings for the introduction and / or removal of energy supply, air supply, fuel and / or water pipes in or out of the container building in the connection plate provided, wherein the connection plate is arranged in a recess provided in the respective side wall.

This connection plate can also be referred to as adapter plate. In her are preferably - with two exceptions - all openings for insertion and removal of connecting pipes and connecting cables arranged. Exceptions to this may be e.g. be provided in the side walls of the container building exhaust air openings for exhaust air and exhaust gas, which are cut directly into a side wall of a container. However, the cutting of separate openings in the container walls is expensive. The connection or adapter plate is therefore a cost-effective variant. In this way, namely, only a large opening must be cut into the container wall in order to arrange the connection plate therein. All connection pipes and connection lines can thus be led into and out of the container building centrally at one point via the connection plate. In combination with the supply shaft already explained above, this guarantees a simple and quick construction of the container building.

It is understood that the supply shaft does not have to open directly into the connection plate. By "open" is also understood in the present sense that the supply shaft ends in the immediate vicinity of the connection plate and passes into these.

For attachment of the connection plate, a large opening can be cut into a side wall of the container building. A steel frame can then be welded into this opening, from which a sandwich plate can be mounted from the inside. This sandwich plate may, for example, have two aluminum plates and an intermediate plastic plate. The connection plate itself can be machined on a conventional milling machine. This is very cost effective.

The openings in the connection plate for the connection lines and connection pipes can be made individually according to customer requirements. According to a variant of the present invention, several of these Be provided connecting plates. In a construction of the container building of a plurality of interconnected containers, it is, for example, also conceivable to provide one connection plate per container.

In a further preferred embodiment, the container building according to the invention is designed for use as a mobile field supply device, which is equipped with mobile device elements whose arrangement can be changed flexibly within the container building.

In the above-mentioned application, in which the container building according to the invention is used as a mobile field kitchen, the kitchen appliances are preferably not permanently installed, but only turned off after making the operational readiness. It is conceivable that the kitchen appliances either by themselves, so without further aids, can be moved by hand, or that a small pallet truck is used. In this way, the individual kitchen appliances can be placed individually. The supply shaft provided in the side walls and the connections provided in its cover strip make it possible to connect the kitchen appliances at different positions within the container building. Due to the mobility of the individual kitchen appliances they can, for example, be moved to clean the container interior. Thus, the places under or behind the kitchen appliances can be easily cleaned.

According to another preferred embodiment, the at least one container is a 20-foot ISO container.

Such 20-foot ISO containers are particularly well suited for the applications described above, particularly because of their ease of loading. They can be loaded with both trucks and ships. A transport with aircraft (eg aircraft or helicopters) is easily possible. For the construction of the container building according to the invention, these must be modified only slightly, in a few steps. It should be noted, however, that other types of containers may be used for the present purpose.

In a further embodiment of the present invention, the container building on two containers which are set up to form a common space cell along a longitudinal direction parallel to each other and connected to each other.

The container building can basically be extended to a large number of containers. In the present case, a common room cell is understood to mean a common space inside the container building, which is not separated by walls or doors. By connecting two or more containers to each other via open longitudinal sides of these containers, which face each other, thus creating a large space inside the container building (a common space cell).

In a separately filed for this patent application on the same day second patent application, as WO2014 / 056549 Published, the special arrangement of two parallel containers is described to form a common space cell. In the preferred set-up described therein, the two containers are aligned parallel to each other along their longitudinal direction, each container each having an open longitudinal side, which assigns to the open longitudinal side of the respective other container. Between the two containers, a gap is provided, wherein for forming a continuous inner bottom surface of the common space cell in the space a longitudinally extending bottom element is arranged as a connecting piece. In this connector, a sewer can be placed.

The floor element placed in the gap guarantees a level interior floor surface of the resulting container building. An elaborate floor structure, which is placed as usual on the inner bottom surface of an existing container of several containers container, can be omitted. The omission of such a floor structure, on the one hand, increases the standing height within the container building. On the other hand, the container positioned at a distance from one another increases the interior of the container building. This not only opens up a greater scope for action in the container building, but also allows a faster construction of the container building on the spot. The one described above Arrangement of the two containers to each other with the wastewater channel placed between these is also to be regarded as a preferred embodiment according to the present invention.

Furthermore, according to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, provision is made for a ventilation channel to be arranged in the interior of the container building in the region of the ceiling wall, which is connected to the connection plate via a ventilation hose, wherein the ventilation channel has a plurality of first air outlet openings on one side and an opposite second one on one side Side has a plurality of second air outlet openings, wherein the second air outlet openings are designed smaller than the first air outlet openings.

The ventilation duct itself can be made of fabric. For transport, this can therefore easily fold. According to a variant of the ventilation duct is designed as a fabric tube which is perforated laterally. The perforation of the hose is preferably chosen differently on the opposite sides of the ventilation hose. Via a ventilation duct connected thereto, which, for example, can likewise be guided in the supply shaft described above, hot or cold air can flow into the ventilation duct. The different sized air outlet openings have essentially the purpose of distributing the incoming hot or cold air in the ventilation duct in the interior of the container building low. Differently sized air outlet openings on opposite sides of the ventilation duct, can provide a desired air circulation in the interior of the container building. If the air is sucked through suction openings on a side wall of the container building, the air outlet openings of the ventilation channel are made smaller on this side than on the opposite side of the ventilation channel.

The air supply via the ventilation duct described and the ventilation hose connected thereto, which is led out of the container building via the connecting plate, again takes into account the basic idea of separating the outer shell of the container building from its inner shell. Air conditioning and / or heating devices can then be set up outside the container building so that they do not consume as usual within the container building unnecessarily space.

According to a further embodiment of the present invention, a laterally hinged door for opening and closing this side wall is provided on at least one of the side walls, wherein at least one rail is provided on an interior facing the interior of the door, which at least one lashing for lashing of furnishing elements of the container building having.

The rails may, for example, be welded to the inside of the door or screwed to it. Of course, other types of attachment are conceivable. In the container building provided furnishing elements, for example. Cooking appliances such as sinks or ovens or combi steamer a field kitchen, can therefore lash with the help of straps to transport the container housing to the lashing eyes provided in the rails. Preferably more than one lashing eye are provided on each rail.

It is understood that the features mentioned above and those yet to be explained below can be used not only in the particular combination given, but also in other combinations or in isolation, without departing from the scope of the present invention.

FIGS. 1 to 6 show different views of a first embodiment of the container building according to the invention. Therein, the container building in its entirety is designated by the reference numeral 10. According to the illustrated embodiment, the container building 10 has two containers, a first container 12 and a second container 14. Both containers 12, 14 are preferably steel containers with a substantially rectangular cross-section. The containers 12, 14 may, for example, have the dimensions of a 20-foot ISO container. Compared with regular 20-foot ISO containers, the containers 12, 14 used for the container building 10 according to the invention are preferably slightly modified, as explained below.

It is understood that instead of 20-foot ISO containers and 40-foot ISO containers, but also other steel containers can be used with any dimensions. Likewise, the container building 10 according to the invention can also be constructed only from a container or else from a multiplicity of containers. In the present case, the construction of the container building 10 according to the invention will be described by way of example with reference to an embodiment with two containers 12, 14.

Preferably, the two containers 12, 14 have the same dimensions. The containers 12, 14 each have two mutually parallel longitudinal sides 16a, b and 18a, b. A longitudinal side 16a or 18a, both containers 12, 14 is preferably formed as an open longitudinal side 16a and 18a. However, the longitudinal sides 16a, 18a are open only in the assembled state of the container building. Otherwise, they can be closed by means of door elements 24a, b or 26a, b. It should be noted that the Figures 1 and 2 show the container building 10 from different perspectives.

Transverse or orthogonal to the longitudinal sides 16a, b and 18a, b, each of the two containers 12, 14 each have two transverse side walls 20a, b and 22a, b. At the top, each container 12, 14 bounded by a respective ceiling wall 28 and 30, which is orthogonal to the longitudinal side walls 16 and 18 and orthogonal to the transverse side walls 20 and 22 of the respective container 12 and 14, respectively. Parallel to the top wall 28 and 30 and orthogonal to the longitudinal side walls 16a, b and 18a, b and the transverse side walls 20a, b and 22a, b, the two containers 12, 14 each bounded by a bottom wall 32 and 34, respectively. It is understood that the container building 10 according to the invention can also be formed from only one container, for example. From the container 14, the interior 39 through the top wall 30, the bottom wall 34 and through the side walls 18b, 22a, 22b, which transverse to the ceiling wall 30 and the bottom wall 34 extend, is limited.

Like from the Figures 1-3 it can be seen, the two containers 12, 14 are aligned parallel to each other. The longitudinal sides 16a, b and 18a, b of both containers 12, 14 extend parallel to a longitudinal direction 36. The first open longitudinal side 16a of the first container 12 and the second open longitudinal side 18a of the second container 14 point towards each other. The transverse side 20a of the first container 12 is aligned with the transverse side 22a of the second container 14. Likewise, the transverse sides 20b and 22b are also aligned with each other. The two containers 12, 14 are not placed flush with each other, but have a distance d from each other (see in particular Fig. 3 ). This results in a gap 38 between the two open longitudinal sides 16a, 18a. The intermediate space 38 runs essentially along or parallel to the longitudinal direction 36. Because of the parallel arrangement of the two containers 12, 14, the intermediate space 38 preferably has a constant width along the longitudinal direction 36 d on (see in particular Fig. 3 ). The width d is preferably in the range of 40-60 cm.

Through the open mutually facing longitudinal sides 16a, 18a is formed in the interior 39 of the container building 10, a common room cell. In other words, the two containers 12, 14 form a common interior 39. To form a continuous inner bottom surface 40 of the common space cell 39, a bottom element 42 extending in the longitudinal direction 36 is arranged as a connecting piece in the intermediate space 38 (see in particular FIG Fig. 2 ). The bottom element is arranged in the bottom region of the intermediate space 38 and thus connects the two bottom walls 32, 34 of the containers 12, 14 to one another. In this way, a flat inner bottom surface 40 of the container building 10 is created.

The spacing of the two containers 12, 14 from each other contributes to an effective enlargement of the interior 39 of the container building 10. On the other hand is unnecessary by the provided in the bottom region of the space 38 bottom element 42 a complex interior floor construction of the container building 10. Normally, the inner floors of space cells, which are composed of several containers, namely used later. The originally provided inner floors of the two containers are covered by a common, continuous inner floor. This essentially serves to compensate for unevenness at the interfaces between the containers. Due to the just with two inner floors 32, 34 of the container 12, 14 final floor element 42, however, such an extra provided inner bottom structure can be omitted. This brings additional headroom. On the other hand, the container building 10 can be assembled much faster, since no extra inner floor must be used later. This also saves production costs.

In Fig. 2 shows a further detail, which is particularly advantageous when using the container building 10 according to the invention as a field supply device for military or humanitarian operations. Namely, a drainage channel 50 is preferably integrated in the bottom element 42. This drainage channel 50 extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction 36. As in Fig. 2 It thus extends from inside the container building 10 to the outside and leaves the container building 10 at the end sides of the space indicated by the reference numerals 49a and 49b (see FIG Fig. 3 ).

The drainage channel integrated in the floor element is preferably made of stainless steel in order to avoid corrosion for longer periods of use. At the top, the stainless steel trough 50 is covered with a cover grille 52. In order to avoid stumbling edges and to ensure the most level possible inner bottom surface, the top of the cover grille 52 preferably flush with the top of the bottom member 42 and thus flush with the inner bottom surface 40 from.

The arrangement of the sewage channel 50 in the middle of the container building 10 proves to be very advantageous, in particular when using the container building 10 as a mobile field kitchen. The accumulated in the field kitchen wastewater can thus be poured directly over the cover grille 52, or be passed through hoses or pipes directly into the sewage channel 50. About the sewage channel 50, the wastewater then passes to the outside. An essential advantage of this arrangement is that no additional sewers have to be laid during the construction or the construction of the container building. This saves setup time. Otherwise, the outer shell of at least one of the two containers 12, 14 would have to be broken in order to be able to lay such sewage pipes from the inside to the outside. This is not necessary here.

The integration of the drainage channel 50 directly into the bottom of the container building 10 also simplifies its internal cleaning. For cleaning the interior 39, this, e.g. with the help of a high-pressure cleaner, cumshot. The accumulating water then automatically drains to the outside via the wastewater channel 50 placed in the middle of the container building 10. Field kitchens can be cleaned easily and quickly in this way. Especially in military field kitchens, where due to the impassable situation often a lot of dirt is carried in the field kitchen, such cleaning possibility of field kitchen is of considerable advantage.

Further details of the sewage gutter 50 are described in a second patent application filed in parallel therewith on the same day. An essential point of the present patent application relates to the structure of the inner wall lining of the container building 10. This will be explained in more detail below.

At least one of the side walls 16b, 18b, 20a, 20b, 22a, 22b of the container building 10 preferably has an inner wall cladding 44 on its inner side facing the inner space 39. According to a preferred embodiment, this inner wall cladding 44 covers the entire inner side of the respective side wall.

In the inner wall lining 44, a supply shaft 46 is integrated, which in the FIGS. 8 and 9 is shown in detail. The supply shaft 46 essentially serves to receive and mechanically guide energy supply, air supply, fuel and / or water pipes. Like from the FIGS. 8 and 9 it can be seen, the supply shaft 46 is arranged in a groove-shaped recess 48 of the inner wall lining 44. The groove-shaped recess 48 and the supply shaft 46 preferably extend parallel to the ceiling walls 28, 30 and the bottom walls 32, 34 (see, for example. Fig. 2 ).

The supply shaft 46 is covered with a cover strip 54. The cover strip 54, which is preferably made of stainless steel, separates the supply shaft 46 from the interior 39 of the container building 10. The cover strip 54 has at least one opening 56 for attaching connections to the energy supply, air supply, fuel supply system located inside the supply shaft 46. and / or water pipes provided.

In contrast to previously known solutions in which the individual supply lines are usually laid out disorderly, visible and open along the inner walls of the container so to speak "on plaster", the supply lines (eg electric, diesel or water pipes) in the proposed new Container concept can be accommodated in a arranged in the inner wall panel 44 supply shaft arranged. Seen from the interior 39 of the container building 10, these are therefore no longer visible. This not only has safety advantages. An essential advantage of such a supply channel 46 integrated in the inner wall cladding 44 is that it can be prefabricated by the manufacturer, regardless of the interior design of the container building 10 later desired by the customer. The supply shaft 46 is then flexibly equipped according to customer requirements. For this purpose, the individual supply lines desired by the customer merely have to be drawn into the supply shaft 46.

Also provided in the cover 54 openings 56 can be placed according to the customer. A subsequent expansion, replacement or repair of individual arranged in the supply shaft 46 supply lines is easy possible. For this purpose, if any, parts of the cover strip 54 must be removed. Otherwise, the defective or exchangeable supply line can also simply pull out of the supply shaft 46.

It is understood that the supply lines should be routed to wherever possible within the container building in order to connect devices at as many points within the container building 10 to the terminals 56 provided in the cover strip 54. Therefore, such a supply shaft 46 is preferably arranged on each of the side walls 16b, 18b, 20a, 20b, 22a, 22b, at which no door or other opening is provided.

Another advantage of the longitudinal feed duct 46 is that it divides the respective side wall into two halves, that is to say into an upper region 58 and a lower region 60. This division makes it possible to cover in the upper regions 58 of the side walls, which extend between the groove-shaped recess 48 (in which the supply shaft 46 is arranged) and the ceiling walls 28, 30, with a full-surface, seamless first cover plate 62. Likewise, the lower portions 60, which extend between the groove-shaped recess 48 and the bottom walls 32, 34, are covered with a full-surface, seamless second cover plate 64. Without the subdivision by the supply shaft 46 subsequent assembly of the entire side wall of the container covering one-piece cover would be very difficult to ensure. In particular, since the presently used cover plates 62, 64 are preferably made of stainless steel, such full-surface, covering the entire side wall stainless steel plates would be very difficult to install, since the required stainless steel plates would be too large.

Above the provided for the supply shaft 46 groove-shaped recess 48 so a first cover plate 62 is made of stainless steel flush (see, for example. Fig. 5 ). Below the provided for the supply shaft 46 groove-shaped recess 48, a second cover plate 64 is arranged made of stainless steel. Both stainless steel plates 62, 64 are preferably designed as smooth, seamless stainless steel plates. Overall, so you get a smooth stainless steel wall, the top 58 and in the lower region 60 each have a continuous, seamless stainless steel plate 62, 64 and is concealed in the middle region by the cover strip 54, which is preferably likewise smooth. Accordingly, the inside of the side wall has only two horizontally extending joints, namely a first joint 66 (between the first cover plate 62 and the cover strip 54) and a second joint 68 (between the second cover plate 64 and the cover strip 54) (see in particular Fig. 9 ). These two joints 66, 68 are preferably sealed with a seal. Both the groove-shaped recess 48 and the supply shaft 46 itself are therefore completely sealed. The inner wall panel 44 is thus constructed very robust to the outside. It can be sprayed for cleaning, for example. With a high-pressure cleaner, large area.

On the inner sides of the longitudinal sides 16b, 18b of the container building 10, the above-mentioned first and second cover plates 62, 64 can also be divided into two separate cover plates 62 ', 62 "in the upper area 58 and into two separate cover plates 64', 64" in the lower area 60 be split, like this in Fig. 14 is shown. In this case arises in each case (maximum) a vertically extending joint 63, 65 between the stainless steel plates 62 ', 62 "and 64', 64". This facilitates in particular their installation (due to the reduced size and the reduced weight of each individual stainless steel plate).

How out Fig. 8 It can also be seen that the supply shaft 46 is subdivided spatially into a number of sub-shafts 70, 70 ', 70 ", which means that different types of supply lines can therefore be conducted separately in the different sub-shafts 70, 70', 70". In addition, the individual partial shafts 70, 70 ', 70 "can each be insulated, thus preventing any negative influence on the media carried in the supply lines Fig. 9 is shown, this can also be realized by a plurality of separate lumens 71. In this way, fuel lines, water pipes and electrical lines can be separated.

The inner wall cladding 44 itself is preferably of multilayer construction. As a support structure, for example, a stator wall 72 serve. This stud wall 72 is preferably made of wood. For additional insulation of the container building 10, the wood stud wall 72 may be configured with an intermediate rafter insulation. Between the two stainless steel cover plates 62, 64 and the stator wall 72, a further wooden plate 74 is preferably arranged (see Fig. 8 and 9 ). The stainless steel cover plates 62, 64 may, for example, be glued to this wooden plate 74. In principle, however, other types of attachment are possible. The wood panel 74 itself is preferably bolted to the supports of the wood stud wall 72.

Another aspect of the container building 10 according to the invention relates to a so-called. Connection plate 76, on which a plurality of openings 78 for the insertion and removal of connecting pipes and connecting lines are arranged (see FIGS. 1 . 5 and 6 ). More specifically, on this terminal plate 76, according to the first embodiment, with all exceptions, all the openings 78 for inserting and removing connection pipes and leads are arranged. The two only exceptions are ideally two exhaust openings 80, which are arranged in the longitudinal side wall 18a of the container building 10. These exhaust air openings 80 are used for the removal of exhaust air and exhaust gases from the interior 39 of the container building 10th

A detailed view of the connection plate 76, which is often referred to as the adapter plate 76 is in Fig. 10 shown. In the present variant, for example, it has an opening 78 'arranged in the upper region of the connection plate 76, through which opening a ventilation hose can be guided into the container building 10. Furthermore, various power connections 78 "can be provided in the connection plate 76. All connections are therefore centrally located. Supply devices such as power generators, air conditioning and air supply devices, etc. can be placed outside the container building 10.

A second variant of such a connection plate 76 'is in Fig. 7 shown. In this embodiment, the terminal plate 76 '"only" has the openings 78 "for the power connections, whereas the ventilation tube is inserted through an opening 69 provided in the side wall element 55a (see in detail Fig. 13 ). The sidewall member 55a serves to form a continuous, insulating sidewall of the container building. The side wall element 55a is arranged in the intermediate space 38 between the two containers 12, 14 (see also Fig. 3 ).

The attachment of a single connection or adapter plate 76 or 76 ', through which (almost) all connection lines and connection pipes can reach the interior of the container building 10, is a very cost-effective variant. Otherwise, individual openings would have to be cut into the container walls separately. This would make the production of the container building 10 relatively complicated and expensive. Instead, however, according to the present invention, only a large opening is cut in the container wall, in which the terminal plate 76 is arranged. Preferably, a steel frame 82 is welded into this opening, which serves as a support structure for the connection plate 76. The connection plate 76 is ideally designed as a sandwich plate. It has two aluminum plates (thickness of aluminum plates bspw. 2 mm) and an intermediate plastic plate (thickness of the plastic plate, for example. 3 to 4 cm) on. Also in the FIGS. 7 and 13 illustrated variant with the provided in the side wall member 55a opening 69 can be produced very inexpensively. Namely, the side wall member 55a may be prefabricated with the opening 69 formed therein and inserted into the space 38 at the lateral ends only when the container building 10 is constructed.

Although only one connection plate 76 or 76 'is provided in the present examples, it is also conceivable to attach a second connection plate to the container building 10; For example, a connection plate 76 or 76 'per container 12, 14th

In particular in combination with the supply shaft 46 already explained above, such a connection plate 76 or 76 'makes it possible to construct a modular connection concept of the container building 10 relatively simply, without the need for a large number of production steps. The supply shaft 46 opens ideally at one point in the connection plate 76. The energy supply, air supply, fuel and / or water lines which are led in and out through them can therefore be moved directly inside the container building 10 via the supply line Distribute supply shafts 46. Seen from the interior 39, these are therefore only partially visible or not at all.

The ventilation of the container building 10 is carried out according to the invention via a ventilation channel 84. The ventilation channel 84 is schematically in Fig. 10 shown. This is preferably arranged in the region of the ceiling wall 28, 30 of the container building 10. The outer shell of the ventilation channel 84 is preferably made of fabric. For transporting the ventilation channel 84 can therefore fold very easy. Although this is not explicitly shown, the ventilation channel 84 is connected according to the invention via a ventilation hose to the connection plate 76. As already mentioned, the ventilation hose-according to the second embodiment-can also be introduced into the container building 10 via the opening provided in the side wall element 55a. The ventilation duct 84 can be supplied with hot or cold air from outside (outside of the container building 10) via this ventilation hose, as desired.

The air fed into the ventilation duct 84 then passes via first and second air outlet openings 86, 88 into the interior 39 of the container building 10. The ventilation duct 84, which is preferably designed as a fabric hose, thus has defined holes introduced in it. This can be realized by a simple perforation of the fabric tube. According to the invention, the air outlet openings 86, 88, however, designed differently sized. The first air outlet openings 86 arranged on the first side 90 of the ventilation channel 84 are made larger than the second air outlet openings 88 arranged on the opposite second side 92 of the ventilation channel 84. The second side 92 of the ventilation channel 84 is preferably arranged on the side of the container building 10. on which the exhaust air openings 80 are located in the container outer wall. Thus, a climatically favorable air circulation within the container building 10 can be established.

Another inventive feature is in Fig. 12 shown in detail. On the interior 39 facing the inside of the doors 24a, b and 26a, b of the container 12, 14, a plurality of rails 94 are preferably arranged. these can for example, be welded to the container steel wall or bolted to the container steel wall. Other types of fasteners are also conceivable. On the rails 94, a plurality of lashing eyes 96 are preferably provided. During the transport of the individual containers 12, 14, the furnishings located in the container building 10 can thus be lashed to these lashing eyes 96 with the aid of tension straps. This guarantees a safe transport of the furnishings.

In the following, the further features of the new container building 10 will be explained. In particular, when using the container building 10 in climatically colder areas, the container building 10 should not only be sealed downwards (by the bottom element 42), but also laterally and on the ceiling. For this purpose, preferably between the doors 24a, b and 26a, b laterally extending gap 38 is additionally sealed. At these locations (indicated by reference numerals 49a, b; Fig. 3 ) may be arranged in the intermediate space 38 between the two containers 12, 14 in order to form continuous side walls insulating wall elements 55a, b. In addition, the unfolded door elements 24a, 26a and 24b, 26b can be covered with tarpaulins. The insulation of the side walls and the cover of the doors with tarpaulins are important because the new container building 10 is provided, inter alia for applications with temperatures up to - 40 ° C and accordingly icing of the container interior and the unfolded door elements 24a, 26a or 24b, 26b. should be prevented.

The ceiling of the new container building 10 is therefore preferably sealed in order to create a completely closed space cell inside the container building 10. Details of this ceiling cover 60 'are described in the filed parallel to this on the same day second patent application.
