Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for the aerial transportation of pre-built residential buildings or the like in a factory to the final installation site. The term "building" hereinafter means not only a complete building, but also parts of a building forming a building unit.

More specifically, the present invention provides for the final construction of a building on a foundation consisting of one or more tanks with thermal energy storage and return capacity, as well as serving merely as a supporting element for a building. This relates to the transportation of the buildings in which they are placed. In addition, the or each tank is filled with a heat storage fluid that can be heated, in particular by means of a solar heat capture device. The building of this pole and its various specific embodiments are as follows:

, No. 2524124, and No. 2524125.

Furthermore, regardless of the economical and industrial construction destination for transporting lightweight housing from the housing manufacturing factory to the final installation site, easy transport does not require any conventional substructures. Transportation of houses using airships has already been devised, which allows extremely rapid installation of buildings on the ground.

(See French published patent application no. 2132610) This type of construction and air transport method is therefore obviously of particular interest for buildings erected in mountainous areas with difficult weather conditions and difficult access. be.

In this construction and transportation method, the most delicate work is
This is the work of placing the building in its final location. In particular, considering the weight of the building 'fk, it would be impossible to separate the building it carried from the airship without compensating the weight of the building for the return journey by a constant load serving as a weight for the airship. Can not. This important problem is not resolved at all in the cited prior literature.

One aim of the invention is that when placed on a foundation constituted by a tank as already indicated, the tank plays a secondary role at the very moment a building is placed on top of the tank. The aim is to solve the problem of building installation by means of airships used for transporting buildings.

Therefore, the present invention basically provides a method for aerial transportation of pre-built buildings by means of an airship suspending the building to be transported below, the method comprising: Serving as the foundation of a building and placed on at least one tank placed or constructed above ground and pre-filled with water, and at the moment of placing the building on the tank there is an amount comparable to the mass of the building. The objective is to provide a method in which water is taken from within the tank and pumped into or under the airship to constitute the airship's return load.

In this way, the mass of the building is "exchanged" with a corresponding amount of water at the moment of placing the building, so that the airship can then return towards its starting point without any problems. . The method proposed here is that in the case of buildings that are treated as Alternatively, it is particularly economical since it is rainwater collected on site.

In any case, the invention will be better understood by way of the following description of one embodiment, made with reference to the accompanying schematic drawing, which illustrates, by way of example, a method for transporting pre-built buildings by air. Perhaps other characteristics will also become apparent. However, this embodiment does not limit the scope of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the method object of the invention concerns a building 1, such as a residential building, which is built on a cylindrical tank 2 with a vertical axis, built above ground 3. placed. This tank 2 serves as the basis for the building l, but it is also arranged as a container for a heat storage fluid that can be heated by a solar heat capture device 4, so that the tank 2 serves as a storage for thermal energy and It also has a return function.

The tank 2 is built directly on the ground 3. On the other hand, the building l is constructed in advance in a factory located far away, and then transported by air from the factory to its final site. The building 1 is transported by air by an airship 5 as shown in FIG.

The airship 5 has a main body 6 with a storage chamber filled with helium.
, a tail 7, a gondola 8, and a propulsion motor (not shown in the figure). When transporting a building l, this airship 5 is further provided with l or a plurality of cables 9, and a rudder I with a rope 11 attached thereto.
O are suspended, and the building 1 is hooked to these ropes.

By means of a hoisting device, not shown in the figure, the rudder 10
can be raised and lowered. Building 1 is suspended at a convenient distance from gondola 8, and transport of the building is carried out by arrow 12.
This is done by moving the airship 5 according to the following.

When the airship 5 reaches the final site of the building 1, the stabilization means are activated to maintain the stationary state. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, a guiding and holding cable 13 is lowered under the airship 5 and moored to a fixed point 14 placed on the tank 2. According to one basic feature of this method, this tank 2 must have a predetermined mass of
It is filled with an amount of water 15 comparable to that of .

When the airship 5 remains stationary at a certain height above the tank 2, the hoisting device is activated and the airship 5 moves along the arrow 16 in FIG.
As shown, the ladder 10° and therefore the building 1 are lowered. The building 1 is thereby lowered, guided by said cable 13, and placed in a suitably centered position on the tank 2.

With and \, the building 1 is removed from the rope 11 and the ladder lO
is raised again and the airship 5 descends lower still until it is directly above the button building 1, as shown in FIG. 4, in order to remove the water 15 contained in the tank 2. To pump water, a flexible conduit 17 is unwound from the airship 5 and connected to the tank 2. The water 15 contained in this tank 2 is transferred to the pipe 1 as shown by the arrow 18.
The water sucked into the airship 7 and thus removed is stored in the ballast 19 of the airship 5.

Finally, the guiding and holding cable 13 is disconnected from the tank 2 and the airship 5 is now in a released state. From this point on, on board the airship 5 the weight of the building l is replaced by a weight comparable to that of the water 15 stored in the tank 2 and filling the ballast 19. Therefore, five airships can return to their starting point in a difficult time.

Next, the building 1 is completed by making the connection between the building 1 and the tank 2.

Such a method of transporting buildings makes it possible to erect buildings on sites that are difficult to access by normal land and sea transportation, such as mountains, swamps, and small islands. The use of this method also makes it necessary to industrially construct buildings regardless of the location, for example when buildings need to be re-erected in a very short time, such as at the site of a natural disaster. This makes it possible to make its construction economically viable at certain times.

Of course, this method can be applied regardless of the form and dimensions of the building 1 and the tank 2.

It is clear that even if the dimensions of the building are large and therefore its weight h1 is large, this method can also be applied to pre-constructed parts of a building that are juxtaposed and form a complete building whole. Finally, the method can, of course, be applied to buildings of any purpose, be it regular residences or buildings of special use, such as alpine shelters.

It is clear that the invention is not limited to just one form of use of this method for the aerial transportation of pre-built buildings described above.

On the contrary, the present invention particularly includes any special applications.
It encompasses all variations based on the same principle.
