Definitions

the present invention concerns the technical sector relating to the industrial production of big and medium tents with pneumatic support.
Such a kind of tent is mainly suitable in emergency situations when it's necessary to immediately provide covered structures in very short times.
This invention is a perfect solution in case of emergency for the safeguard of people or however in every case it's necessary to quickly install shelters as first aid points, refectories, dormitories, etc.
Camping or emergency tents are used, different in shape and size, principally characterized by a collapsible structure made of plastic or metal poles, which support a canvas covering the structure so as to permit to stay inside.
a collapsible structure made of plastic or metal poles, which support a canvas covering the structure so as to permit to stay inside.
This kind of tents has the relevant drawback to be difficult to erect and above all it doesn't insulate the inside from the outside, so that it's impossible to have a change of air inside the tent, except for the openings on it, therefore any air-conditioning or heating inside the tent is only possible thanks to relevant sources of energy, however often with poor results.
the traditional tents have the clear drawback to be uncomfortable, since only one cloth divides them from the outside, which means the total inability to prevent the inevitable greenhouse effect, with the consequent great difficulty of air-conditioning the internal temperature, both in summer and winter, with high consumption of energy.
the absence of a forced effect of ventilation and change of air often increases humidity until the condensation on the inner surfaces of the cloth and the relative drip. This fact obviously prevents the use of the tent in many situations, for example as camp hospital, or for the installation of an outpost equipped with computers that need electronic equipments to operate.
the current solutions also relating to the covers normally employed, do not use fireproof materials.
Another kind of tent is used, which is supported thanks to a continuous jet of air and is formed by a double wall in transpiring material.
This double wall in transpiring material would involve great difficulties in the industrial production, because a fireproof treatment of such a cloth, as experts of this field know, is very difficult and however not cheap.
the air chamber is a valid insulation from the outside, as the internal wall is however transpiring, it generates inside the tent, for inevitable exchange of heat, either air heated by the greenhouse effect or cool air in winter.
This invention aims at eliminating the above-mentioned and other drawbacks, supplying a safe house structure, both for emergency situations and all the other situations when we need to erect safe and comfortable covered places in a short time.
the present invention can be easily produced on a large scale, i.e. at industrial level, following the current rules relative to the environmental respect and also inclined to a greater energy saving.
the current invention has substantial differences compared with the existing projects, above all as regards the industrial applicability, the ecological respect and the energy saving, as well as the quality of the product and the advantages of use.
the advantages resulting from the present invention essentially consist of the fact that it's possible to erect a camp mobile house structure in a very short time and without any need of technical skills or physical effort; that this structure results insulated from the outside, considerably reducing the influence of the external environmental conditions; that it has impermeable walls, so that it can be made fireproof and not suffering from climatic influences; that thanks to ventilation, the air inside the house structure is constantly changed and purified; that it's possible to have warm or cool air, according to the desired conditioning.
the main characteristic of the present invention is to be formed by a single body, of any shape and size, with the walls and the ceiling constituted by an air chamber that acts as inner tube around the liveable space.
This chamber suitably calculated according to the liveable volume of the tent, is regularly filled with compressed air at limited and controlled pressure, by means of common electropneumatic instruments, using one or more electric compressors or ventilators, of a suitable prefixed size and power.
the air filled in allows the structure to raise and stand, so taking the projected shape, thanks to the continuous jet of air that allows the structure to stand even in the case of leaks due to holes or small tears, as the quantity of air filled in the unity of time is also function of possible leaks.
Another important advantage of the present invention is that part of the air filled in flows, in regular quantity, through suitable grids located in one or more section of the air chamber; in this way, we obtain a continuous change of air, eliminating therefore from the air chamber the air heated by the sun radiation, replaced with normal temperature or even cool air.
the air ejected through the grids can flow either towards the outside, if we want to keep cool the inside of the house, or towards the inside, in the opposite case, so getting an absolute natural ecological and cheap source of heat.
a consequent not secondary effect of this invention comprises the benefits deriving from the constant exchange of oxygen and the reduction of humidity inside the house structure. These characteristics make this house structure suitable for hosting people, laboratories, equipments, etc.
a house structure with pneumatic support comprises:
the house structure is made of a single canvas in impermeable cloth, of first quality, in warp, with single or double coating in PVC, or other materials technologically appropriate, in any case impermeable, mould-proof, fireproof and non-toxic.
the walls forming the structure - side (10) and (11), top (12), bottom (13), doors and windows (14) and (15) - are joint each other by thermo-welding (16), or electro-welding, pasting (17), or sewing (18), so that the structure (19) results a single body.
the seams must be reduced to the minimum compared with the total operations of union between the various portions (max 15%), so as to considerably reduce the risks of water infiltration or air leak through the micro-holes. Going beyond this percentage would involve a costly increase of the quantity of air filled in the chamber.
the air is filled in by means of one or more electric ventilators (20) connected with the air chamber (2) of the tent.
This operation makes the structure (21) raise and stand stable compared both with its own weight (Q), with the pressure exerted on the structure by the wind (V) and with the weight of a possible snowfall (QH).
the pressure (KW/cm 2 ) exerted inside the chamber (2) is however greater that the one exerted on the structure by the above-mentioned external agents.
an insulated cavity will be created, precisely the air chamber (2). It will ensure a perfect thermal and acoustic insulation of the liveable part of the structure, considerably reducing the greenhouse effect typical of the traditional tents nowadays on the market.
the air filled in allows the structure to raise and stand, so taking the projected shape, even in the case of leaks due to holes or small tears, as the quantity of air filled in the unity of time for the support is also function of possible leaks.
the air is filled in and flows into or from the inside of the air chamber, through suitable openings covered by grids that make the air flow outside (V1) or inside (V2), according to the desired effect.
part of the air will flow through one or more sections of the air chamber, in a smaller portion than the one filled in by the electric ventilator(s) (20), so that inside the chamber (2) always there is pressure (p) enough to support the structure and make it steady (theoretically estimated between 60 and 180 pa).
the air that flows through the grids can be ejected out of the cavity (V1) or inside (V2), so as to create a natural air-conditioning of the house structure.
This system will guarantee a perfect level of comfort inside the house structure with estimated external temperatures between +16° and +28° C, everything without any supplemental source of energy, with consequent energy and environmental saving.
the air circulation inside the cavity will prevent the creation of excessive humidity and possible condensation during cooling, leaving the environment dry, even in the case of many persons or equipments accommodated inside, which, in their natural life cycle, generate steam.
this invention may be provided with supplemental air-conditioning sources.
the house structure is so built that it's possible to directly and easily install heating pumps having both heating and cooling capabilities. To this aim, it's sufficient to make some amendments to the heating pumps nowadays on the market, so as to make them always easy to be installed without the aid of expert technicians.
very low external temperatures ⁇ 5°C
the stability of the structure is also safer thanks to the insertion of an internal frame in arches made of flexible plastic material, ensuring its stability even in the case of accidental drops of pressure or extraordinary external agents.
This structure will be steadier in the case of extraordinary atmospheric agents, such as snow, wind, etc. and will be a valid support for the accommodation of electric equipments or other use.
this invention has an extremely small bulk for its transportation, in function of its liveability, and it's particularly practical and quick to erect, as it essentially consists of a single structure.
this system may provide for the internal air-conditioning of the environment, by means of holes passing the air chamber and common air-conditioning equipments connected from the outside.
this system may be air-conditioned directly inside by means of heating pumps.
this system is particularly suitable for: first aid points, due to earthquakes, floods, exodus, etc; hospital service and/or operating theatre, social service such as refectory, school, church, etc.; nerve-centre for emergencies, researches, etc; accommodation for voluntary or military services; medium-term house, camping and spare time accommodations, stands for fairs, expositions of any kind, mobile office and other uses.
