Abstract

Reticulated stereo module for the construction of buildings of the type that uses elements of reticulated stereo octahedral type and quadrangular panels for the construction of walls, floors and ceilings, which consists of 4 upper diagonal bars, 4 lower diagonal bars, 4 horizontal bars in the center in a crosswise direction, and 1 strut bar placed between the lower vertex and the central node and/or 1 tension bar placed between the upper vertex and the central node.

Description

The present invention refers to a reticulated stereo module for the construction of buildings of the type that uses elements of reticulated stereo octahedral type and quadrangular panels for the construction of walls, floors and ceilings, which consists of 4 upper diagonal bars (with pyramid shape), 4 lower diagonal bars (with pyramid shape), 4 horizontal bars in the center in a crosswise direction, and 1 strut bar placed between the lower vertex and the central node and/or 1 tension bar placed between the upper vertex and the central node.

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention falls within the technical scope of the structures composed of units that involve at least important parts of two sides of a room, that is units in the form of closed cell boxes or in the form of a shell.
It is based on the triangle and its non-deformability, that due to the juxtaposition with other equal ones, allows the formation of enclosures with quadrangular floors and walls, suitable for the configuration of rooms, being applicable in respect of residential buildings, hotels, offices, etc.

PRIOR ART AND PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED

Within the Prior Art, the use of a structural skeleton that sets a three-dimensional network of pyramidal modules, such as the three-dimensional network disclosed in the Invention Patent No. AR026905A1 , which allows obtaining highly resistant living spaces or cells to ease the construction of buildings, with matching walls with diagonal bars of a semi-octahedron determining the living spaces that are horizontally and vertically juxtaposed with each other, is widely known; but the structural skeleton of pyramidal structure includes horizontal bars consistent with the horizontal edges of the semi-octahedron, that are the ones that close and strengthen the structure and, furthermore, support the floor quadrangular plate.
This is illustrated in Figure 3 of said antecedent, wherein vertex (A) is common to the bars or edges (A1), (A2), (A3) and (A4); and the ends or endpoints (1), (2), (3) and (4) thereof determine a square or base wherein the floor quadrangular plate is supported.
Said geometry has the problem that the floor plate has an excessive surface that requires a large amount of material to support the entire loads it receives; likewise, the horizontal bars, as beams, turn out to be of a vast length and require a large amount of material to absorb bending stress. In contrast with the present invention, wherein the floor is set attaching two modules with a quadrangular plate supported in horizontal bars of shorter length than the ones of the semi-octahedron and require less material. The floor quadrangular plate turns out to be of a smaller surface, supports less load and requires less material.
Furthermore, another proven advance on this matter may be observed in the Invention Patent No. MX2012008417A , which is based on a tetrahedron built by means of six profiles. Figure 1 of said antecedent illustrates a perspective view, following the sequence of the invention, of how the basic reticulated stereo module is generated since its essential component elements to arrive to the assembly of a living space. The basic elements of the tetrahedron are shown in (I). Afterward, the tetrahedron with the aggregate, in a pair of its vertexes, of two tensioners (11) and (12), can be observed in (II). In (III), half floor panel (13) fixed from the end of the tensioner (11) and of the vertexes (9) and (10) is added. In (IV) the floor of the unit is completed with another half floor panel (14) using another tensioner (12) to keep it in position with the same vertexes (9) and (10). The floor is supported in the vertexes matching the ends of the tensioners and the horizontal bar matching the floor, being the quadrangle (a)-(b)-(c)-(d) completed.
Therefore, the floor quadrangular plate of each module is set with two half panels that are supported in ends of the tensioners and horizontal bar of the tetrahedron. In contrast with the present invention, wherein the floor is set, attaching two modules with a quadrangular plate supported in horizontal bars of shorter length than the tetrahedron, which requires less material.

PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a reticulated stereo module for the construction of buildings of the type that uses elements of reticulated stereo octahedral type and quadrangular panels for the construction of walls, floors and ceilings, which consists of 4 upper diagonal bars, 4 lower diagonal bars, 4 horizontal bars in the center in a crosswise direction, and 1 strut bar placed between the lower vertex and the central node and/or 1 tension bar placed between the upper vertex and the central node.
The purpose of the invention is to solve the problem of excess of material necessary in a floor plate since it turns out to be of a smaller surface with regards to the ones matching the horizontal edges of the octahedron. This way, its purposes is also to solve the problem of the excess of material required by the horizontal bars or beams, which can be built with less material as they are of a shorter length than the horizontal bars of the octahedron and receive less load than the floor plates.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention presents a modular structure with a bar arrangement in conjunction with the edges of a regular octahedron, except for the horizontal edges, to which four horizontal bars are added included within the quadrangular median plane of the octahedron, matching with halves of the diagonals of the square, supported in an end in the vertexes of the square and the ends matching the diagonals crossing supported in a strut, that is at the same time supported in the lower vertex of the octahedron and/or supported by a tensioner that, at the same time, hangs from the upper vertex of the octahedron; the floor quadrangular plates are supported over these horizontal bars as beams, matching the diagonals of the medium square of the octahedron.
The horizontal juxtaposition of modules of this type of modular structure allows the generation of a floor continuous surface due to the complementation of the median planes of each module with the adjacent ones, wherein the floor plates, beside supporting the loads of the use of people, furniture, etc., have the same function as the suppressed horizontal bars of the octahedron to strengthen the bars octahedral structure.
The module of the invention may incorporate a vertical bar between its lower vertex and the central node (as strut) and/or may incorporate a vertical bar between its upper vertex and the central node (as tensioner), which move the loads due to predominantly axial stresses, equally to the diagonal bars of the octahedron, whereby the structural skeleton absorbs the total loads due to predominantly axial stresses that are the ones that require less material in the structures as the bending stress are reduced.
The module allows configurating with the structures of similar octahedral modules juxtaposed in horizontal succession, medium vertexes coplanar regarding the adjacent ones, arranging floor quadrangular plates over the horizontal bars of each module, that with the horizontal juxtaposition form a rigid diaphragm to absorb horizontal wind and earthquake forces that act over the building.
The invention allows the interlocking in the structural module of quadrangular vertical plates as walls, orthogonal with each other, in each of which the base matches a side of the floor plate, and its diagonal matches an inclined edge of the octahedron.
Furthermore, the invention allows the linkage of abutting quadrangular enclosures, and with the outside, with doors and windows included in the vertical quadrangular plates at both sides of the diagonal bar of the octahedron.
Finally, the invention allows the obtention of different constructions or configurations of buildings of several levels with the juxtaposition of octahedral modules and horizontal and vertical quadrangular plates, in theoretically infinite repetitive series.
