MODULAR STRUCTURAL SYSTEM FOR THE BUILDING OF FUNCTIONAL SPACES BY ASSEMBLING A PLURALITY OF STRUCTURAL SELF-SUPPORTING MODULES

DESCRIPTION

The present invention relates to a modular structural system for the building of functional spaces by assembling a plurality of structural self-supporting modules, each module integrating devices apt to produce and/or collect, transport and exchange thermo-fluid dynamic and/or luminous or electromagnetic energy. In the case in point, the present invention relates to the plant engineering field for buildings and spaces having different use destinations, for example, domestic, industrial, commercial; receptive; naval; exposing destination and, in particular, the plant engineering field for the building industry.

The present invention offers structural solutions for architecture, civil and structural engineering, in general, being useful to be used for the implementation, the unified laying and installation of electric and hydraulic plants in the domestic or professional/industrial field.

The present invention further offers structural solutions for wiring information networks and data transmission plants, air-conditioning plants, access control and safety plants.

Currently, for implementing plants for providing energy, for distributing, mixing and heating domestic hot water, as well as for the installation of plants for supplying information and data and signal transreceiving services, in a construction site the compresence of a plurality of labour forces specialized in each respective field is necessary.

A first drawback shown by such solution is the potential lack in communication between said plurality of labour forces.

Often, not only the competences are distinct and distributed for each intervention team, but, in case of lack in an appropriate and watchful organization, the procedures carried out for creating such different plants result to be of mutual obstacle.

Not rarely, for example, it is necessary to carry out again, wholly or partially, some of the passages of an installation process, since an intervention team realizes that the work previously carried out by the colleagues which have applied to a different plant results to be an obstacle for the effective prosecution of the forecasted procedures.

Such bad coordination causes ineffectiveness, which translates into lengthening the whole time for carrying out works and in an increase in the forecasted costs.

Furthermore, the ever more pressing need for limiting the energy consumption, enforced by the newly-introduced regulations aimed at stimulating a more rational use of the resources and the request for a sustainable development impose, by now, to base the design of plants, for example civil, industrial plants or the like, applied to spaces for any use destination, upon an ever stronger energy saving.

The currently utilized technologies do not allow an effective integration of the different plants necessary for the operativeness of a domestic and/or industrial and productive space avoiding potential mutual unrests and at the same time reducing the energy wastes to the minimum.

The object of the present invention is then to solve the problems mentioned above by providing a modular structural system as defined in claim 1.

Advantageously, the present invention allows rationalizing the implementation of the plant assembly necessary for the good operativeness in any functional space, for example domestic and/or industrial and productive space.

The implementation of a structure by applying the modular structural system according to the present invention is the replacement of the installation of a plurality of plants, the functions of said plurality of plants being combined in a synergic way thanks to said structural system.

In this way the installation and maintenance result to be simplified since they become unified procedures.

For its operation, the modular structural system according to the present invention requires only the energy supply of a liquid or gaseous fluid under pressure, taken from the main distribution network or put into circulation in a forced way. Such fluid can be, for example, water fed by the waterworks or by groundwaters, air or natural gas currents, as well as recycling liquids and gases, processing wastes or sewers designated for the sewerage apparatuses can be used. The fluid itself triggering the operation of the modules of the modular structural system according to the present invention can be conveyed in paths useful in carrying out plural functions, as well as transported to different destinations and distributed, in case transformed in an adequate way to as many users for supplying respective services. The modular structural system according to the present invention is suitable for implementing supporting structures like, for example, panels and surfaces acting as walls, ceilings, building fronts, fixtures, furniture and fittings in general.

Such structures result from assembling a plurality of modules which are shaped substantially like bricks, each one thereof is specialized in fulfilling its own functions.

In this configuration, the structural system according to the present invention allows producing the fluid-dynamic and/or luminous and/or electro-magnetic energy; by further allowing to collect, to transport and to exchange and then to distribute it to the different users for supplying respective services.

Thanks to the implementation of the single structural system according to the present invention, energy can be supplied in different ways and plural services, which traditionally according to the state of art refer to independent plants and not interacting therebetween, can be dispensed.

Thanks to its versatility, the structural system according to the present invention advantageously can be adopted for implementing each construction type and shape.

The structures implemented by applying the structural system according to the present invention result then easy to be installed and used, as well as easy to be planned and cheaply to be manufactured.

For this reason, the structural system according to the present invention not only can be utilized for constructing structures ex-novo, but it can be used for restructuring already existing structures.

In order to describe the present invention the figures mentioned above will be referred to.

The modular structural system according to the present invention provides the assembling of a plurality of self-supporting structural thermo-hydraulic and hydroelectric modules 1 , substantially shaped like a brick.

Such assembled modules 1 allow to implement functional spaces, each module 1 by integrating devices apt to produce and/or collect, transport and exchange fluid- dynamic and/or luminous and/or electro-magnetic energy. The pane's implemented like sets of structural, seif-supporting, thermo-hydraulic and/or hydro-electric modules 1 are interconnected in a fluid-dynamic way by means of a duct circuit 16 and, optionally, also in an electric way by means of a

cable circuit 17, functioning for the integrated transportation of the different energy forms mentioned above.

In figure 1 the structure of a thermo-hydraulic brick 1a is represented, preferably made of transparent plastic material, integrating a sealed chamber 31 for the circulation of a fluid which is put therein by means of a first inlet door 9 and conveyed through a respective and opposite outlet door 9, said two inlet/outlet doors 9 being mutually placed at 180°.

The module 1a acts as a heat-exchanging tank, apart from modular water duct.

In figure 2 an analogous thermo-hydraulic brick 1 b is represented, wherein the inlet/outlet doors 9 are mutually placed at 90°.

Such self-supporting thermo-hydraulic bricks 1a, 1b, variously assembled, allow to implement continuous surfaces, in case also underpinning.

The structures resulting from such assembly can also be integrated by hydroelectric bricks as represented in a general configuration in figure 3. In figures 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 the structure of a hydro-electric module 1c of general type is represented.

In figure 4, in particular, the general hydro-electric brick 1c is represented connected to waterworks 16, by means of inlet/outlet doors 9, and to an auxiliary electric network 17, by means of connectors 15. Each hydro-electric brick of general type 1c comprises a preferably transparent plastic outer casing 4, constituted by two half-shells 18 and 19.

Such two half-shells 18 and 19 are implemented so that, once tightly coupled - for example restrained after interposition of a seal, that is welded by ultrasounds - they create a sealed chamber 31 , for inflowing any fluid or gas entered under pressure.

A magnetic rotor 2, substantially shaped like a rotoric blade, is housed in the sealed chamber 31 , inside a centering basket 5 made of a non-stick material.

The two half-shells 18 and 19 are shaped so as to include two respective and specular protrusions 23', apt to engage into a corresponding slot of the magnetic rotor 2.

In this way the two half-shells 18, 19, in the coupled configuration thereof, give origin to a rotation pin 3 for the magnetic rotor 2.

Such protrusions 23' integrate surfaces with curvatures so as to form, in the coupied configuration of the half-shells, a lens 23 for focusing onto a sensor 11 , for example CCD, the visual signals at a focal region 22 placed on the half-shell 19.

The not utilized inlet/outlet doors 9 can be obstructed by magnetic plugs 6, substantially shaped like a magnetic dipole, which implement a statoric group useful for keeping the rotation of the magnetic rotor 2.

The rotation of the magnetic rotor 2 is induced by the pulse provided on the rotoric blade 2 by a fluid, entered under pressure in the ducts 16 by means of the attachments provided by the doors 9 to the fluid supply main network.

Such rotation, once started from the fluid, is kept also thanks to the magnetic cooperation of the magnetic rotor 2 with the statoric group provided by the magnetic plugs 6. In fact, the repulsive magnetic forces which create when polarities of the same sign, for example sud-sud, appear on the statoric group and on the magnetic rotor 2, respectively, and viceversa the attracting ones attracting polarities of opposite sign, sustain altogether the rotation of the magnetic rotor 2.

Thus, a variable magnetic field is generated associated to the rotation of the magnetic rotor 2, which can be exploited to produce electro-magnetic energy.

Primary conducting windings 8, buried into the casing 4, result to be dipped in the variable magnetic field created as described above.

In this way, the conducting windings 8 are passed through by a current induced by the flow variation of the magnetic field through coils thereof and they transform the fluid-dynamic energy into electric energy, by means of the magnetic blade 2 placed in rotation from the circulation of a fluid or gas under pressure. Each module 1 c, then, assumes the function of hydro-electrical generator. The hydro-electric modules 1 c of the structural system according to the present invention also comprise programmable actuation means with microprocessor. The actuation means comprises an electric circuit, for example a printed circuit

10, which contacts the primary conducting windings 8, for example by means of comb-like connectors 20, and then it can be power-supplied by the electric current circulating in the windings 8.

The connectors 15 and 20 and the components assigned for the basic operating control are mounted on a first face of such circuit 10, apart from the sensor devices and the electronic components specializing the different configurations of the device.

The electric components of the hydro-electric modules 1 c are housed in a cavity included between a protecting container 21 , apt to provide a mechanical protection to the circuit 10, and the haif-shel! 18.

In the sealed cavity also energy-accumulating means, for example rechargeable batteries, are housed, positioned on a second face of the electric circuit 10.

In this way, an energy reserve is created, which can be exploited in case of need to handle the operativeness of the single module and/or the whole structure which is constituted by a plurality of such modules.

Such energy reserve can also be useful for a user to start the functions of a structure implemented with the structural system according to the present invention, and to obtain a joint supply of services, for example in situations wherein a circulation of fluid under pressure coming from outer network for triggering the rotation of the magnetic rotor 2 of the modules 1c according to the modes illustrated before is not possible or one does not wish to create it inside the structure. By means of the tension which can be provided by the batteries 13 to the windings 8, the rotoric blade 2 itself can be electro-magnetically driven.

The module 1c, then, assumes in this case the function of a hydraulic pump.

The opening and the closing of the doors 9 obtained in the sealed chamber 31 can be adjusted by respective valves 7, the opened or closed state thereof, in cooperation with the plugs 6, defines different paths for said fluid inside the structure implemented by means of the structural system according to the present invention.

When a user 200, on a dedicated interface of the module according to the present invention, selects a specific utilization mode, the actuation means with microprocessor determines a corresponding and compatible configuration of the valves 7 at each one of the doors 9 of the involved modules.

With respect to the here described preferred embodiment, each one of said valves 7 has a substantially tubular portion for the fluid passage; and closing/opening heads of the doors 9, fastened onto respective ends of the tubular portion mentioned above.

The tubular portion is slidingly mobile in an appropriate slot obtained in the casing 4, having a first end at the door 9 and a second end at the chamber 31.

When in the closing configuration, the closing/opening heads of the doors 9 are apt to engage in respective seats obtained at the second end of the slots at the sealed chamber 31, so as to prevent the fluid passage; whereas in the opening configuration, they are apt to detach from said respective seats, to allow the passage of said fluid.

Such seats are, for example, flarings obtained specularly in the body of the half- sheiis 18 and 19, shaped so as to receive the closing/opening heads when they are in the closing configuration.

The apparatus according to the present invention provides means for adjusting the shifting of the substantially tubular portion of each one of the valves 7 with respect to the slots in the casing 4.

Thanks to such adjusting means exploiting, for example, the fluid-dynamic push of the fluid under pressure or the forces produced by the variable electro-magnetic field, a control upon the closing or opening level of the valves 7 is obtained.

In fact, by means of the power supply of the windings 8 it is possible attracting and repelling the valves 7, in order to open and close selectively the doors 9 for inletting and outletting the fluid. Leds 12, for example, with low consumption and high luminosity such as the leds used in avionics, for the selective issue of luminous signals, can be mounted on the electric circuit 10.

Such leds 12 are assembled onto hydro-electric modules 1n configured like illuminating bodies. The actuation means of the modules 1 according to the present invention comprises a system of sensor devices connected to a microprocessor, apt to detect quantities such as, for example, the temperature, the pressure and the viscosity of the operating fluid inside the implemented structure.

Based upon the stored values, the microprocessor will send proportional control signals for the optimal operation of each module 1 and, in the last resort, of the resulting modular structure which thus results to be able to auto-adjust and to constantly provide a response adaptive to the inputs entered by a user 200.

The sensor system preferably comprises biometric sensors for detecting actuating commands given by a user. The half-shell 19, as it can be seen from figures 11 ,12 and 13, can play the function of multi-functional plug, whereon the user can selectively act like on a control panel having control interfaces which can be coupled to the sensor system mentioned above, for giving the actuating commands mentioned above.

The half-shell 19 is transparent and thus it can be passed through by the luminous signals issued by leds 12.

The control interfaces on the half-shell 19 comprise, for example, graphic symbolisms silk-screen printed thereon in order to control the supply of a given quantity of light and/or fluid from a respective module, analogous to those reproduced in figure 7. Each module preferably includes the possibility of obtaining the feedback of the

given actuating commands so that a user 200 can systematically be aware of the result which is going to obtain by means of his/her own selection.

To this purpose a display 14 is provided for a prompt comparison by visualizing the operating status of each module 1. With respect to the here illustrated preferred embodiment, the biometric sensors comprise a photo-electric sensor CCD 11 for detecting the user's fingerprint and a system of focal lenses 23 to convey the corresponding image from the half-shell 19, whereon the user 200 places his/her own finger in the fingerprinting position a, to such sensor CCD 11. In particular, the sensor CCD 11 , apart from the access controlling main function mentioned above, plays the function of a keyboard for recognizing the position of the finger of the user 200 on the half-shell 19 with respect to the silk-screen printed controls represented in figure 7; a function for detecting possible motions in the space whereon the structure is assembled wherein the respective module 1 is integrated; a twilight function for monitoring the lighting level in the space mentioned above.

The microprocessor controls each function with strict criteria of energy saving, by carrying out or not the energy supply under the form of light and/or driving force, based upon the compared analysis of the data detected by the sensor CCD 11. In case of absence of fluid-dynamic or auxiliary electric energy, the implementation will be timed and limited to the capacity of the battery pack 13 installed on board of the module 1, in any case the preservation of an energy reserve for the basic operating functions being programmed.

Also temperature, humidity and pressure sensors are placed onto the same printed circuit 10, which are essential for automating the fluid circulation process and the fluid supply process to implement the functions of each module 1 of chronothermostat and thermostatic mixer, respectively.

The possibility of adding hydro-electric modules 1d specialized for mixing and supplying fluid is provided, by means of the dispensing valve 25, substantially shaped like the valves 7, which can be driven manually or by electro-magnetic forces developed by the winding 8.

Furthermore, hydro-electric modules 1e are provided specialized for the administration of electric energy, for example low-tension energy, to users by means of a socket 26, as well as hydro-electric modules 1f equipped with bidirectional socket 27 for transceiving video/audio signals; thermo-photovoltaic

modules 1h apt to play the function of solar panels thanks to the cooperation with sealed chamber 31 for the fluid recirculation of the modules 1a, 1b with a battery of photovoltaic cells 32 for absorbing the thermal energy associated to sunbeams.

In addition to this, hydro-wind modules 1 m are introduced blending the double function of electric energy generator by the fluid-dynamic push through the rotor 2 and by the wind push collected by an impeller 39; hydro-electric modules 1 n with function of lamp; hydro-electric modules 1 p for controlling the lighting commands; hydro-electric modules 1 r for controlling the devices for discharging domestic hot waters; electro-pneumatic modules 1s for sucking fumes, for example in spaces adapted as kitchen; hydro-electric modules 1t for recovering heat on cookers.

Hydro-electric modules 1g for the fingerprint control of accesses to housing units and the like, based upon the detection by the sensor CCD 11 at the focal region 22, avail of a motion of a hydro-piston 24 functioning as a lock, the outgoing and the return of the hydro-piston 24 being actuated by hydraulic and electro-magnetic forces.

Such solution is particularly suitable to implement video entry-phone integrated systems.

In order to increase the electric generation power of the system it is possible to connect additional thermo-photovoltaic modules 1h to the connectors 15, as shown by the figure 21 , incorporating a battery of photovoltaic cells 32; or to integrate in waterworks hydro-wind modules 1 m, as illustrated in figure 26.

If the modules 1 are destined to power supply higher loads than their own hydroelectric, photovoltaic or wind generating power, the additional electric power supply with low tension is provided, by means of the connectors 15. In this case, in order to increase the transmission performance, the audio and video data are modulated onto integrating channels with waves conveyed on the same conductors 17 of additional power supply.

In the plant of figure 17, exemplifying a possible application of the structural system according to the present invention, two general thermo-hydraulic panels 100 comprising thermo-hydraulic modules 1a and 1 b are underlined.

Onto a first panel 100 there are integrated: on the top, a hydro-electric module 1 n, specialized as illuminating body, connected to waterworks 16 and to auxiliary electric network 17; at the bottom, a hydro-electric module 1e apt to act as socket, for example with 12 V, connected to waterworks 16 and to auxiliary electric network 17 too; in intermediate position, a hydro-electric module 1d apt to act as mixer/thermostatic dispenser connected only to the waterworks inside the panel.

On a second panel 100 a single hydro-electric module 1f with audio/video data socket is integrated, connected to the water duct 16 and, considering the availability in situ, to the additional electric network as well.

To the water duct 16, apart from said two panels 100, also three general hydro- electric modules 1c are connected, having the function of four-way electro-valves, interlocked to three independent water sources, respectively a water main 28; a cooling group 29 and a heating group 30.

If during the winter months one wishes to heat at 20 ⁰ C the space wherein said plant is installed, the module 1c of the heating group 30 plays the role of a pump, by injecting water at about 25°C into waterworks 16.

Such module 1c then provides for returning to 25°C the return water mentioned above once the heat exchange has occurred, by arranging it for the re-entering the waterworks.

Under the action of this hydro-dynamic flow, the magnetic rotors 2 of all hydro- electric modules integrated in the panels 100, start rotating, by attracting the valves 7 and then by keeping open the whole water circuit. The rotation will produce hydroelectric energy, utilized to recharge the batteries 13.

If, under this condition, a user requests domestic hot water at 25°C on the dispensing module 1d, it will be sufficient to control manually or electro-magnetically the opening of the relative front valve 25 underlined in figure 11.

On the contrary, should the user wish hotter or cooler water, with respect to the 25°C utilized for heating, it will be sufficient to electro-control the closing of the valves 7 of the not involved panel/s 100, by excluding it/them from the water circuit; to actuate then the module 1c respectively of the heating group 30 or cooling group 29, by entering in this way water at the wished temperature into the waterworks 16, so that it reaches exclusively the dispensing module 1d.

When one wants to refrigerate a space, the process results to be analogous, but water at about 15°C, produced by the cooling group 29, is made to circulate.

In this way a fluid conditioning of spaces is obtained. This configuration substantially unifies the heating and cooling plants with water- sanitary plant.

Generally, a user 200, by acting on a projecting tubular portion of a valve 25, with a pressed finger in the collection position β, determines the shifting from its own seat of the head of the valve 25. In this way, the fluid is returned from the inflow sealed chamber 31 towards an

exhaust opening.

Together with such fluid pick-up, the magnetic rotor 2 on the end module is dragged into rotation.

The rotors of the other modules 1, which thanks to a pre-determined arrangement of the valves 7 result in fluid-dynamic communication with the end module 1 mentioned above, are analogously brought into rotation by the fluid flowing.

A relative energy production corresponds to the motion of the rotors 2, with the modes and in the forms described above. Figure 18 illustrates a panel 102 acting as a window, implemented with some thermo-hydraulic bricks 1a, 1b, placed inside two transparent covering plates 33, for example glass.

Figure 19 illustrates a panel 101 acting as a door, implemented with some thermo-hydraulic bricks 1a, 1b; a hydro-electric brick 1g specialized in controlling accesses; an insulating plate 35 and two blind covering plates 36, whereon a hole

37 for accessing the controls and the display 14 is obtained.

Figure 20 illustrates a panel 100 acting as a wall, implemented with some thermo-hydraulic bricks 1a,1b; a hydro-electric brick 1c of general kind; an insulating plate 35 and a transparent plate 33. Figure 21 illustrates a panel 103 for coating outer fronts of buildings, implemented with some thermo-photovoltaic modules 1h coupled to respective thermo-hydraulic modules 1a, 1b, apart from a hydro-electric brick 1c of general kind.

The exchanging fluid inside the thermo-hydraulic modules 1a, by re-circulating therein exposed to sunbeams, collects heat, the corresponding thermal energy being then absorbed by the photovoltaic cells.

Thanks to the present invention implementing any kind of permanent or temporary space becomes easy, fast and cheap. With relatively few panels connected therebetween by means of extractable connectors it is possible, for example, to implement without buildings or plant-engineering arrangements, a small apartment as represented in the figures 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27.

In the bed-sitting-room with controlled access of about 70 cubic meters two levels are obtained, on the ground floor a bathroom, a kitchenette, a sitting-room with sofa-bed, a dining table, a television, a telephone finding a place. A staircase brings toward the lofted floor, whereon a double bed and a wide wardrobe find a place.

The perimetral walls and the partitions of the bathroom are implemented with thermo-hydraulic panels 100.

The bathroom's ceiling, also acting as air-conditioned resting base for the mattress; the lofted floor surface; and the suitcase-holding floor, placed above the sofa-bed, are implemented with thermo-hydraulic panels 105.

The steps are implemented with thermo-hydraulic panels 106.

The resting planes of the television and of the wardrobe are implemented with thermo-hydraulic panels 107.

The covering of the cooking surface is implemented by a thermo-hydraulic panel 104, useful for recovering the residual heat of possible electric cookers or more generally with boiler functions.

The outer front of the bed-sitting-room is coated with thermo-hydraulic panels 103 useful as insulating layer with long thermal hysteresis, that is apt to play the function of solar panels. The controlled access to the room is guaranteed by two panels 102 acting as French window, with transparent upper part and blind lower part.

All panels inside the room can be left at sight, or coated at will.

A possible infrastructure 108 made of aluminium, steel or wood, will be useful for housing the water ducts 16 and the electric ducts 17 connecting the panels. Furthermore, the energy advantages deriving from implementing a shower base, a basin and the like with such thermo-hydraulic modules are considerable. The utilized, still hot water could exchange part of its own residual heat, currently totally dispersed discharging into sewer, by means of the contact with the shower base or with the basin. A complete retrieval of the residual heat is obtained by implementing discharges by means of thermo-hydraulic panels dedicated to the transportation of said waste waters until the sewer.

Furthermore, all hydro-electric modules, thanks to the rotating magnetic blade 2, offer the advantage of being magnetic soluters of the scale possibly existing in the circulating fluid, by subjecting said fluid to a treatment of depurative centrifuge and magnetic decalcification.

The system according to the present invention, for its modular feature, meets the requirements of the modern home system.

It guarantees an improvement in the life quality for those utilizing a space implemented according to the illustrated structural modes.

The half-shell 19 can also comprise interfaces for interconnecting peripheral using devices, for example by means of extension electric cords.

Such devices can be operated and power supplied by exploiting the water- dynamic energy made available at the rotors 2 of the hydro-electric modules 1. Such devices can be supplier of electric energy with low tension, with a conception similar to the cigar-lighter for automobiles; electrical appliance of different sizes and with variable absorption powers; devices integrating rotating heads or buttons for the personal hygiene, the cleanliness, the preparation of food and the like. Advantageously, by means of the structural system according to the present invention domestic hot water with programmed pressure and temperature can be transported, mixed, treated or disposed.

By means of the structural system according to the present invention, which incidentally has considerable advantages with respect to the known art regarding the wiring given the presence of channels which can be utilized for the cable passage, data can be received and transmitted on integrated informative networks, with connection to Internet, for example.

Such informative networks, for example, can be opto-electronic, for propagating luminous radiations into dielectric guide waves. In the case in point, the sections dedicated to the passage of cables 15 can play such function of tracks for housing guide waves.

A structure resulting from the application of the structural system according to the present invention can be programmed and controlled by a user, also remotely by means of a modem connected to the computer incorporated by one or more modules.

Antennas, for example for wi-fi transceiving systems, apt to irradiate signals to receiving and reading devices, for example digital devices, can be silk-printed onto the surface of the modules.

A radio control can allow programming remotely the functions of the modules 1 and a modem, for example GSM, can allow checking remotely by a user 200 the state of housing units and the like thereto the structural system according to the present invention is applied.

In this way a user can handle remotely a plurality of functional spaces wherein the structural system according to the present invention is installed. The present invention has been described sofar with reference to preferred embodiments. It is clear that the embodiments described sofar could be combined

therebetween so as to originate other embodiments having different combinations of features, without departing from the inventive core of the present invention.

Furthermore, it is to be meant that other embodiments may exist belonging to the same inventing core, all comprised within the protective scope of the claims reported herebelow.
