Abstract

The invention relates to a mobile living space expansion module (10) and a transport device (40) for the living space expansion module (10). As the demands on urban living continue to increase, solutions are being sought that provide more living space and/or reduce traffic flow. The living space expansion module (10) according to the present invention is a possibility to increase the existing living space by coupling the living space expansion module (10). If this additional living space is no longer required or is required at another location, the living space expansion module (10) can be decoupled from the building (30) and transported to another location by means of the transport device (40) according to the invention. In this case, the transport device ( 40 ) can be both a building-connected, eg, an elevator system ( 46 ), but, for example, a transport device ( 42 ) which can be passed through a street. For connection to the building (30) and/or the transport device (40), the living space expansion module (10) has at least one coupling device (20), at least one closable opening (12) and at least one for exchanging energy and/or information interface.

Description

Mobile living space expansion modules and transport units

technical field

The invention relates to a mobile living space expansion module and a transport device for the living space expansion module.

Background technique

Living in cities, especially in large cities, faces ever-increasing demands. The demand for living space continues to grow, as does the traffic flow. At the same time, the available traffic space is always further limited. Nonetheless, metropolitan residents are reluctant to limit their mobility or give up their living comforts. This creates congestion, increased parking pressure and higher real estate and land prices.

For this reason, a large number of alternative housing and transportation options have been investigated to address these challenges. These solutions mainly include so-called vehicle sharing solutions for the common use of vehicles, but also the minimization and/or optimization of living space or the making available of hitherto hardly available areas as living or working space.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to propose a solution that can realize a living space or a working space without generating additional area requirements, and here also can meet the ever-increasing requirements for the flexibility of the user's relocation .

This technical problem is solved according to the invention by a mobile living space expansion module and a transport device for the living space expansion module.

The mobile living space expansion module according to the invention is designed with at least one coupling device for a detachable mechanical connection to a building and/or a transport device and at least one closable opening, which is provided for this purpose. The building openings correspond to, and the living space expansion module has at least one interface for exchanging energy and/or information with the building and/or the transport device.

In this context, a living space expansion module is to be understood as a three-dimensional or at least partially enclosed volume which is designed and arranged to function as an additional living space or a living space enlargement. For this purpose, the living space expansion module is coupled to the building in or where the living space is to be extended. The living space expansion module can be coupled to the horizontal or vertical surfaces of the building. The living space expansion module can be designed, for example, as a living room, bedroom, office, kitchen, guest room, fitness area or recreation room, but also as a supermarket module, which is transported to the customer when required and provides the customer with individual and comfortable shopping experience. In addition to the components mentioned, the living space expansion module may also have load-bearing structures, partitions or insulation, openings for windows and doors and other components or parts which will be described below.

In this case, the living space to be expanded can be either a housing unit, ie an individual room of a house or a dwelling, or an entire housing unit. Expansion of the living space is achieved by providing a living space expansion module as an additional living space or a living space augmentation part.

Here, the terms "living space" and "living space expansion module" should not be limited to living functions or personal spaces, but should also include work and office functionality. Therefore, the living space expansion module can also fully include the office expansion module or the expansion of any work environment. It may also include space expansion for hotel rooms or space expansion for hospitals, such as highly specialized operating theatres or isolation rooms, which are transported to the hospital as needed.

In order to connect the living space expansion module to the building, the living space expansion module has at least one coupling device by means of which a detachable mechanical connection between the living space expansion module and the building can be achieved. The number of coupling devices is preferably selected such that the living space expansion module can be reliably connected to the building. Therefore, the number of coupling devices depends on the size and equipment of the living space expansion module.

In addition or as an alternative provision, the living space expansion module is connected to the transport device by means of at least one coupling device. If the living space expansion module is attached to a transport device, it can be transported from one location to another. In this case, the connection of the living space expansion module to the transport device can be effected via the same coupling device or coupling devices as the connection to the building, but at least one further coupling device can also be provided for this purpose.

That is to say, with the living space expansion module according to the invention, both the living space can be expanded and the living space expansion module can also be moved to another position where it expands the other living space. This, combined with a higher level of comfort, enables the user's relocation flexibility, since the user can move along with his familiar surroundings. Furthermore, the living space expansion module can be used for the movement of the user in combination with suitable transport means, as will be explained.

The living space expansion module has at least one closable opening, which corresponds to the building opening provided for this purpose. Corresponding openings are understood here to mean that the openings of the living space expansion module correspond to the size and shape of the building openings and vice versa, ie they are adapted to each other. When connecting the living space expansion module to the building, the living space expansion module is arranged such that at least one closable opening of the living space expansion module faces the building opening provided for this purpose. After coupling the living space expansion module to the building, at least one opening of the living space expansion module is opened and thus access from the building into the living space expansion module is possible.

In this case, the at least one opening of the living space expansion module can be a door through which the living space expansion module can be accessed. However, the at least one opening can also occupy the entire building-facing surface of the living space expansion module. However, it is also possible to provide a plurality of openings, which respectively correspond to the building openings provided for this purpose, for example a plurality of doors, through which the living space expansion module can be accessed, or a plurality of windows or transfer windows. Open your mouth.

The living space expansion module can also have other openings which are not provided to correspond to building openings, ie windows and doors, but which make the use of the living space expansion module pleasant and comfortable or can be combined with the building. Access to living space expansion modules is achieved independently of the connection of things.

It goes without saying that the building opening corresponding to the at least one opening of the living space expansion module should preferably be designed to be closable in order to close the building envelope when the building is not coupled to the living space expansion module.

The openings of the living space expansion modules and their corresponding building openings are advantageously constructed of standard size and design, so that different living space expansion modules can be easily and quickly coupled to different buildings.

The living space expansion module according to the invention also has at least one interface for exchanging energy and/or information with the building and/or the transport device. The interface is provided for connecting the living space expansion module to, for example, the electrical network of a building, so that the electrical consumers in the living space expansion module can be operated or the energy storage in the living space expansion module can be charged. Alternatively or in addition, information in the form of control and monitoring signals should be exchanged between the building and the living space expansion modules by means of an interface. Thereby, the functionality of the living space expansion module and the operating parameters of the living space expansion module can be monitored and controlled, and/or the operating parameters of the expanded living space can be monitored and controlled from the living space expansion module. The exchange of information can be wired or wireless.

Alternatively or additionally, the at least one interface for energy and/or information also allows an energy and/or information technology coupling with the transport device. For example, monitoring and control signals are also exchanged between the transport device and the living space expansion module or energy is provided for the use or charging of the energy store. For this purpose, the same interface as for the building can be used here, or other interfaces provided for this can be provided on the living space expansion module.

In a first preferred solution of the present invention, it is provided that the living space expansion module has at least one device for forming a connection area between the building and the living space expansion module. The coupling of the living space expansion module to the building is achieved by forming connection areas. Said connection area should ensure the functionality and safety of the living space expansion module connected to the building, ensure a simple transition between the living space expansion module and the building and/or avoid any damage caused by the connection to the building or the living space expansion module. damage. Thus, for example, the living space expansion module can have one or more elements made of elastic material along the surface facing the building, which elements protrude from the surface of the living space expansion module and thus serve as cushions or cushions. The function of the elements, they prevent the opposing surfaces from coming into direct contact and thus prevent damage due to undesired contact during the connection process. Temporary or permanent protective panels of the below-explained designs of the device for forming the connection area or panels for the openings of living space expansion modules without corresponding openings in connection with the building are also included in this application for in the device forming the connection area.

The device for forming the connection region preferably has a sealing system, a door system, a transition system and/or a fire protection system, in particular for sealing thermally and/or moisture-proof.

If the living space expansion module is connected to the building to expand the living space there, the area between the building and the living space expansion module should first be sealed in the area of the corresponding opening. In the simplest case, therefore, the device for forming the connecting region can have seals that prevent the formation of so-called drafts in the connecting region. In particular, it should be ensured that no moisture can enter the building and/or the living space extension module from the outside, as this affects comfort and creates a risk of mould. The humidity can be, for example, rain, snow or the air humidity in the outside air, which is different from the air humidity in the living space and/or the living space expansion module. Alternatively or additionally, the means used to form the connection area should have thermal seals to prevent the escape of heated or cooled room air, which also benefits comfort, contributes to energy savings and reduces the risk of mould.

For sealing, for example, standard seals, as in the automotive sector, can be used, but also inflatable seals or magnetic seals.

并且其造型与居住空间扩展模块的表面或者表面轮廓适配。门元件可以设计为平坦的、弯曲的或者拱曲的。门系统优选这样设计，使得其占据尽可能少的空间并且在打开时不会撞到或者阻碍建筑物的门系统或者用于封闭对应的建筑物开口的装置。Another configuration of the device for forming the connecting region provides for a door system. The door system should comprise at least one door element or a plurality of door elements, which close the living space expansion module opening corresponding to the building opening provided for this purpose. The door element is preferably designed to be flat

And its shape is adapted to the surface or surface contour of the living space expansion module. The door element can be designed flat, curved or curved. The door system is preferably designed such that it occupies as little space as possible and when opened does not hit or obstruct the door system of the building or the means for closing the corresponding building opening.

Particularly preferably, the door system has at least two door elements that can be opened, in particular door elements that can be opened by rolling up, turning over, folding and/or sliding. In this case, the door element can be folded or folded about a substantially horizontal or vertical axis, respectively, and thereby expose the opening. However, the door element can also be moved out of the opening area by sliding. Opening can also be achieved by rolling up the door element about a substantially horizontal or vertical axis, respectively, as is known, for example, from garage doors. Of course, these opening possibilities can also be used for only one door element and for more than two door elements.

并且在最简单的情况下可以是护板，其防止与棱边、至少一个耦连装置、用于交换能量和/或信息的接口和类似结构接触，并且因此也降低了损伤风险。过渡系统可以包括阶梯，它们跨接居住空间扩展模块的底部与建筑物之间的高度差。Another configuration of the device for forming the connecting region provides for a transition system. In this case, the transition system should include all components for a comfortable and safe position transition between the living space and the living space expansion module. This also includes the sides and the faces in the top area of the transition, ie the opening sides of the building openings and the living space expansion module openings

And in the simplest case it can be a protective plate, which prevents contact with edges, at least one coupling device, interfaces for exchanging energy and/or information and similar structures and thus also reduces the risk of damage. The transition system may include steps that bridge the height difference between the base of the living space expansion module and the building.

In order to achieve a comfortable transition, the transition system can also advantageously include ramps or lifts, which enable a smooth transition between the living space expansion module and the building, that is to say a stepless and thus barrier-free transition. Here, a flat transition should not be limited to a horizontal orientation, but only means that there are no steps or similar obstacles. As a result, the living space expansion module can also be accessed with a wheelchair. In special designs, for example, the door element is turned over about a horizontal axis on the base of the living space expansion module and thus acts as a ramp or at least as a cover for the gap between the living space expansion module and the building. Elements of a system or door system can also be elements of a transition system.

Alternatively or additionally, the means for forming the connection area may also have a fire protection system. This should ensure the safety of the user in use and especially in a fire. The fire protection system can be formed, for example, by fire dampers or fire doors that close in the event of a fire, by means for releasing fire extinguishing gas such as CO ₂ , fire extinguishing foam or fire extinguishing liquid in a fire, and/or means for triggering an emergency call. This makes it possible to prevent fire from spreading from the living space expansion module into the building or from the building into the living space expansion module in the event of a fire. Furthermore, by suppressing the fire, the time required to rescue the user from the hazardous area can be extended. A fire protection system can also be realized by means of such a device acting on the door system in order to close the door element, especially if the door element is designed with an appropriate fire rating.

In a further preferred configuration of the invention, the interface for exchanging energy and/or information is designed to transmit a medium for operating the living space expansion module. By means of the interface, media, such as mainly water, waste water, air for ventilation, exhaust air, heating and cooling of the living space expansion module, are to be exchanged between the building and the living space expansion module. These media are used to fully functionally integrate the living space expansion module into the building, since in this way all the comforts present in the building can also be extended to the living space expansion module. In this way, the adaptation of the living climate in the living space expansion module to the living climate of the expanded living space can also be adjusted and implemented.

The interface for exchanging energy and/or information is particularly preferably arranged inside the connection area, ie in the area that forms the connection area when the living space expansion module is connected to the building. In this way, all the means for connecting the living space expansion module to the building and for coupling the functionality are combined and concentrated in one area. This saves installation space, provides better access to the individual elements and simplifies maintenance. In this way, the connection or coupling process between the living space expansion module and the building is also simplified and the interface for exchanging energy and/or information is thus arranged in a protected area, in particular protected from weather and unfamiliarity. Human entry protection.

In another preferred design solution of the present invention, the living space expansion module is designed with all components required for self-sufficient operation. Self-sufficient operation is understood to mean that the living space expansion module can also be operated without connection to a building or transport means, ie can be operated completely independently, for example as a separate building such as a work-site office, a weekend or a cottage in the garden. For this purpose, components such as energy storage, storage units for water and waste water, ventilation systems, heating, refrigeration systems, systems for harvesting solar energy and/or control devices for monitoring and controlling said components are required, for example, They are individually or collectively integrated in or at the living space expansion module. Components for self-sufficient operation can also include means for filling or loading the energy storage device and the water storage device, a discharge device for waste water or an interface to a stationary, ie locally present, energy supply.

By means of this configuration, the mobile living space expansion module can be used not only in conjunction with buildings or transport devices, but also independently. The user can take his customary environment, such as his work room or bedroom, in the form of a living space expansion module and place it anywhere and use it without relying on it for energy, water and the like.

In another design solution of the present invention, the living space expansion module is designed in a light-weight construction manner, in particular with an aluminum space frame or an all-aluminum-space-frame structure. By using lightweight materials, in particular for the load-bearing structure of the living-space expansion module, and designing the load-bearing structure with hollow profiles, lattice beams and the like, it is possible to achieve the lowest possible weight of the living-space expansion module, which Both transport and connection to the building are simplified. Consequently, in a living space expansion module designed according to this design, the transport device needs to provide less power for movement and the load-bearing structure of the building and the coupling device need to have a smaller load-bearing capacity. Particularly advantageous are lightweight constructions with so-called aluminum space frames, known per se from automotive construction, in which aluminum cavity profiles form the support structure in combination with die-cast nodes.

In the next embodiment, the living space expansion module is designed to interact with a building-side carrier system. In principle, the living space expansion module is connected to the building by means of at least one coupling device. Depending on the size and equipment of the living space expansion module and therefore its weight, it may be necessary to increase the load-carrying capacity of the at least one coupling device or to adjust its number. However, this is associated with technical outlays and costs, which is disadvantageous in particular when the need for this is only temporary, for example because many guests' events are held in the living space extension module or the user's property is temporarily stored. Another application situation may be that bad weather with strong winds or the like is expected, so the living space expansion module and its connection to the building should be additionally ensured.

It is advantageous in these and similar situations that the living space expansion module is designed to interact with the load-bearing system of the building. For this purpose, for example, a support which can be moved out from the building side can be provided, which is moved out below the living space expansion module and which takes up the load of the living space expansion module. For this purpose, receptacles can advantageously be formed on the underside of the living space expansion module, into which the brackets are introduced, or the receptacles correspond to the brackets such that, when positioning the living space expansion module for connection to the building, by lowering the living space expansion module Space expansion modules to form form-fit connections. Alternatively or additionally, a fixing possibility for connecting the living space expansion module to the bracket can be provided on the living space expansion module.

In addition to the brackets arranged on the building side below the living space expansion module, it is also possible to arrange brackets above the living space expansion module and from which the living space expansion module is removed. However, other structural designs are also possible, in which, for example, brackets on the side of the living space expansion module are provided and introduced into corresponding receptacles in the building.

According to the invention, a transport device for a living space expansion module is also claimed, which transport device is designed with all the components necessary for the movement of the living space expansion module.

Movement should be understood here both as a change in the position of the living space expansion module independent of the building, and also as a movement of the living space expansion module on the building, especially when positioning and connecting the living space expansion module to the building.

The components required for the movement are: drive means, such as motors; energy storage or connection to a fixed energy input; steering; ; and a fitting corresponding to at least one coupling device of the living space expansion module, thereby enabling the transport device to be connected with the living space expansion module; and a fitting for the interface for energy and/or information.

According to a first configuration, the transport device is designed as a drone, a lift, an elevator system, a hoist, a rail transport device and/or a street-capable transport device. The transport device can be connected to the living space expansion module and can take part in public transportation, move on rails, or move in the air like a motor vehicle. However, it can also be connected to a lift table which moves the living space expansion module to the desired position of the building, so that the connection of the living space expansion module to the building can be carried out there. This positioning on the building can alternatively take place by means of a lift system or a lifting device, ie mainly a crane.

In a second embodiment of the transport device according to the invention, the transport device is designed to move autonomously, partially autonomously and/or remotely. In order to move autonomously or partially autonomously, a transport device must be designed with suitable monitoring and control systems to primarily monitor the environment, determine its own location and that of other traffic participants, and have a path for getting from one location to another Devices and systems for finding and routing. All that is required for remote-controlled operation is a control device with a transmitter, which transmits the control signals to the transport device, and a suitable receiver device on the transport device, which receives and converts the control signals. . The transmission preferably takes place wirelessly.

In a preferred configuration, the transport device is designed and arranged as a lift system on the building in order to receive the living space expansion modules from other transport devices and transport the living space expansion modules to the buildings provided for this purpose in the building. opening. That is, a first transport device is provided, which is arranged and designed as a lift system on the building. The living space expansion module is transported to the building by means of a second transport device, eg a transport device connected to the street, or by means of a drone as a transport device. There the living space expansion module is taken over by, ie coupled to, the first transport means designed and arranged for this purpose and moved to the desired position on the building where the relationship between the building and the living space expansion module is established. connection between. Once the connection is securely present, the first transport device can be decoupled from the living space expansion module and moved away from the living space expansion module. The process preferably takes place automatically, ie does not require the active assistance of the user. For this purpose, the living space expansion module is placed from the second transport device in a fixed position at, in or on the building, on which the first transport device can receive the living space expansion module. After input of the target on the building by the user or by means of a suitable identification system, the first transport means moves the living space expansion module to the desired location where the living space expansion module is attached to the building.

The different embodiments of the invention mentioned in this application can be advantageously combined with one another, unless otherwise stated in the individual case.

Detailed ways

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a dwelling space expansion module 10 according to the invention on a building 30 and different transport means 40 . The views are only schematic illustrations of the principle of the living space expansion module 10 . Two living space expansion modules 10.1 and 10.2 are arranged on the building 30 . The living space expansion module 10.1 is already in its connection position with the building 30, while the living space expansion module 10.2 is coupled to the transport device 40 designed as a lift system 46 and moved towards its connection position with the building 30 or from the The connection location is moved to another transport device 40 by which the living space expansion module 10 can be transported to another location.

FIG. 1 shows, by way of example, further transport devices 40 in the form of drones 44 and street-capable transport devices 42 , which can be coupled to the living space expansion module 10 . As shown in FIG. 1 , the living space of the building 30 can be expanded by means of the living space expansion module 10 . However, the space required for this is above road level and does not restrict traffic and therefore also possible parking spaces or sidewalks.

Possible positions for the coupling device 20 on the living space expansion module 10 are shown in a perspective view in FIG. 2 . In the exemplary embodiment, the living space expansion module 10 is basically designed as a square with largely rounded edges. The living space expansion module 10 has a window 14 .

A closable opening 22 is provided on the side of the living space expansion module 10 which should face the building 30 during connection, which is closed by a door system with at least four door elements 16 . Four coupling devices 20 are designed on the same side of the living space expansion module 10 . If the living space expansion module 10 is to be coupled to the building 30 , the coupling means 20 of the living space expansion module 10 are engaged with the coupling means (not shown) of the building 30 . The building-side coupling device and the coupling device of the transport device 40 are advantageously designed in the same way. As a result, the coupling device 20 of the living space expansion module 10 can be connected to both without any problems.

The further coupling device 20 is designed on the upper side of the living space expansion module 10, so that the transport device 40, which is designed for example as a lift system or as a drone (both not shown in FIG. 2), can be taken over and transported from above Living space expansion module 10 . Further coupling devices 20 are provided on the longitudinal sides of the living space expansion module 10 , on which they can be used to receive the living space expansion module 10 by means of laterally coupled transport devices 40 , as well as other coupling devices 20 is designed at the bottom of the living space expansion module 10 for receiving on a transport device 40, such as a transport device 42 or a lift platform 50 (both not shown in FIG. 2) that can pass on the street. .

The number of coupling devices 20 depends on the weight and dimensions of the living space expansion module 10 and the specific design of the transport device 40 to be coupled.

Figure 3 shows a selection of possible door systems and their opening possibilities. The respective opening directions of the door elements 16 are indicated by arrows.

In Figure 3a, the living space expansion module 10 has a door element 16 which opens and closes the closable opening 12 by rolling up, as is known from garage doors, exterior shutters on buildings and similar structures That way.

In Figure 3b, the door system is formed by two door elements 16, which are respectively folded around a vertical axis in order to open or close the closable opening 12. Depending on the position of the stop point of the door element 16 , ie the position of its hinge in the open side of the living space expansion module 10 , the door element 16 can be folded over in such a way that it covers the living space expansion in the open state. The open sides of the module 10 and the building 30 and cover the gaps that may be formed therebetween, and thus simultaneously serve as a transition system. As a result, it is possible to prevent contact with coupling devices 20 , interfaces, edges and similar structures during the connection of the living space expansion module 10 to the building 30 and thus prevent the risk of damage.

FIG. 3 c depicts a door system with two door elements 16 , which are each pivoted about a horizontal axis. As already shown in Fig. 3b, the open door element 16 can also be used as a transition system in this position and in the top and bottom regions in Fig. 3c. This also allows for a smooth transition between the living space expansion module 10 and the building 30, since the downturned door element 16 can also act as a ramp.

Figures 3d and 3e show slidable door elements, wherein the door elements 16 slide away from each other along a vertical axis in Figure 3d and in Figure 3e along a horizontal axis. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 e , the door system consists of a plurality of door elements 16 , which are arranged one after the other in a space-saving manner in the edge region of the closable opening 12 by means of a rail system.

FIG. 4 shows different designs of the transport device 40 on the building 30 . Upon reaching the desired location on the building 30, the coupling to the building is achieved. If the coupling to the building 30 is reliably achieved, the transport device 40 is decoupled from the living space expansion module 10 and moved to another location. The arrows illustrate the possible directions of movement of the transport device 40 .

In FIG. 4 a , the living space expansion module 10 is coupled to a transport device 40 designed as a lift system 46 . If the desired height on the building 30 is reached, the transport device 40 , which is designed as a movable platform 47 , is moved under the living space expansion module 10 , coupled to it and moved horizontally to the desired position, where it is realized Coupling to Building 30.

In FIG. 4 b , the transport device 40 is formed by balloons 48 and strong magnets 49 arranged on the lateral edges of the building 30 . The balloon 48 is coupled to the living space expansion module 10 from above and conveys the living space expansion module 10 in a vertical direction. Lateral positioning is achieved by suitable control of the magnets 49 .

FIG. 4c shows a shear lift table 50 as a transport device 40 that transports the living space expansion module 10 to the desired connection location with the building 30 both vertically and horizontally.

In FIG. 4 d a cable handling system 52 , which can be assigned to the hoisting device group, is shown as transport device 40 . The cable handling system 52 can position the living space expansion module 10 both vertically and horizontally.

In Fig. 4e, a transport device 40 designed as an elevator system 46 is coupled to the living space expansion module 10 from above and transports it to the desired height. There the movable platform 47 is moved below the living space expansion module 10 and coupled to it. After the elevator system 46 is decoupled from the living space expansion module 10, the movable platform 47 can move the living space expansion module 10 in a horizontal direction. The elevator system 46 shown in Figure 4f is designed to transport the living space expansion modules 10 in both horizontal and vertical directions.

In Fig. 4g, the transport device 40 is designed as a movable hydraulic lift table 50, also called a strut, and is capable of transporting the living space expansion modules 10 in both horizontal and vertical directions.

The drone 44 may also deliver the living space expansion module 10 to a desired location on the building 30 as shown in Figure 4h.

The transport device 40 in Figure 4i consists of a lifting device 52 and a rail system 54 similar to a forklift. For this purpose, the living space expansion module 10 is driven to the building 30 by means of a street-capable transport device 42 and taken up by the lifting device 52 . The vertical transport takes place by means of the lifting device 52 and the horizontal transport takes place along the rail system 54 . In this figure, a view of the living space expansion module 10 from below is also shown. Receptacles 18 for carrying systems and/or transport means, by means of which living space expansion modules 10 are guided along rail system 54 , or building-side supports (not shown) can also be recognized in this view. Alternatively, it can be pushed into it in order to interact with the building-side carrier system and additionally to ensure the connection between the building 30 and the living space expansion module 10 .

In FIGS. 4j and 4k, the transport means are respectively designed as lifting means 52, ie as a crane in FIG. 4j and as a cable handling system in FIG. 4k. In both figures, the vertical and horizontal positioning of the living space expansion module 10 is achieved by means of a lifting device 52 .

The aforementioned movement directions and sequences can be performed without problems in an exchanged sequence and the living space expansion module 10 can be moved both to the desired position on the building 30 and from the desired position to the transfer position, in which the transfer position The living space expansion module 10 can be passed on to another transport device 40 .

Even though in FIG. 4 only transports 40 on the ground are illustrated as being taken over, the transports 40 shown can also be designed such that they can take over living spaces placed on top of buildings 30 by means of drones 40 The module 10 is expanded and delivered to the desired location on the building 30 . Furthermore, the coupling of the living space expansion module 10 can also be performed on the horizontal surface of the building 30 .

Figure 5 shows a series of perspective views illustrating the positioning and connection of the living space expansion module to the building.

The living space expansion module 10 is coupled to a street-capable transport device 42 and is positioned in front of the building 30, which is only partially shown here. The street-capable transport device 42 is designed with all the components required for movement and has autonomously transported the living space expansion module 10 to the building 30 .

An elevator system 46 is provided on the building, which is hidden as little as possible to the observer in shadow gaps or the like due to the construction of the building. The elevator system 46 grasps the living space expansion module 10 from above and is connected to the living space expansion module by means of a coupling device 20 (not shown). If the coupling to the elevator system 46 is achieved, the street-capable transport device 42 is decoupled and the transport of the living space expansion module 10 to the desired location on the building 30 can begin (see Figure 5b). The street-capable transport device 42 can now be driven into the parking position.

The elevator system 46 can move the living space expansion module 10 vertically and horizontally along the building, as illustrated by the arrows in Figures 5b and 5c. Also shown in Figure 5c are other living space expansion modules 10 and a closed building-side opening 34 to which the living space expansion module 10 can be moved.

If a rough positioning of the living space expansion module 10 is achieved, it is oriented vertically relative to the building opening 34 by the elevator system 46, as indicated by the arrows. Then, as indicated by the arrow in FIG. 5e , the building-side support 32 is moved out in order to complement the coupling by means of a coupling device (not shown) for interaction with the load-bearing system of the building 30 . . In this case, building-side coupling devices can be provided on the support 32 , which engage with coupling devices of the living space expansion module 10 . The elevator system 46 is now decoupled from the living space expansion module 10 and moved into another position, preferably a rest position or a parking position.

For fine adjustment, if necessary, the support 32 is moved back into the building 30 to a small extent and the living space expansion module 10 is thus brought into its final position. Here, an interface (not shown) for information and/or energy is coupled to the building 30 so that energy, monitoring and control signals and other media can be exchanged between the building 30 and the living space expansion module 10 . Furthermore, the coupling of the living space expansion module 10 on the surface of the living space expansion module 10 facing the building 30 takes place by means of a coupling device designed there. Furthermore, a hose system (not shown) arranged around the opening 12 of the living space expansion module 10 inflates and thereby seals the gap remaining between the living space expansion module 10 and the building 30 .

In addition, the support 32 on the building side can also be moved out above the living space expansion module 10 (see Fig. 5f) in order to further increase the stability of the connection. Fittings for the coupling device 20 of the living space expansion module 10 can also be provided on the carrier 32, which engage with each other. The living space expansion module 10 is now fully connected to the building 30 and the living space expansion module 10 and the door elements 16 of the building 30 can be opened.
