This technology is a temporary housing structure consisting of a frame that forms a hexahedral skeleton and panels that form the living space inside. It is completed by inserting door, window, and wall panels into four frame modules, where a vertical frame and two horizontal frames are joined by corner connectors that allow them to be unfolded at right angles or folded flat.
In the event of a disaster, temporary shelter must be provided to victims quickly; however, existing temporary housing structures have many components and complex assembly processes, making them difficult to install rapidly without professional labor. They also have limitations in that they are bulky when stored after use, requiring significant storage space.
This technology enables easy assembly by non-experts through a simple method: frames are unfolded and fitted using corner connectors equipped with rotating support grooves and polygonal coupling ends, after which panel seating ends are placed into frame seating grooves and secured with reinforcements. Multiple structures can be connected at their entrances to form a cluster, with common facility structures placed in between. When dismantled, the frames can be folded and the panels stacked, significantly reducing volume. Applicable to mobile modular construction such as disaster relief housing and on-site accommodations, this technology enables both rapid shelter supply and efficient stockpile management.
This invention was developed with support from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport for the development of eco-friendly indoor and outdoor temporary housing facilities for disaster relief.
