Description

The invention relates to a cabin with at least three side walls and a roof.

25 A large number of cabins are known, especially for housing technical equipment. Such cabins are used, for example, in the mobile communications sector. For the transmission of the necessary data in the mobile

30 radio range, transmission masts must be provided at certain intervals to ensure the most comprehensive radio connection possible. The technical equipment required for the transmission is

that they only serve to accommodate the necessary technical equipment and the like.

The invention is therefore based on the object of further developing a cabin mentioned at the outset in such a way that such a cabin can be used on a larger scale.

The invention is achieved in that the cabin can be connected to at least one mast for receiving at least one antenna, in particular for the transmission of data in the mobile radio range or the like.

This has the advantage that the antenna is directly connected to the cabin, so that the mast does not have to be installed on a special foundation or the like. It also ensures that the mast is much easier to connect to the technical equipment that is usually housed in the cabin. This also makes it possible to create overall structures that do not require building permits and still have sufficiently high performance. The space required for the cabin and the mast is also reduced.

One embodiment of the invention provides that the mast can be attached to the roof of the cabin.

This is advantageous because the relative height of the mast is extended by the height of the cabin, thus ensuring better radio transmission.
30

Another embodiment of the invention provides that the mast can be fastened to a side wall of the cabin.

The attachment of the mast to the cabin should depend on the spatial and local conditions.

A further development of the invention provides that the maximum height of the cabin is four meters.

This cabin has the advantage that, according to the state building regulations of North Rhine-Westphalia, for example, which have been in force since July 2000, such cabins can be built without a permit. This reduces the overall costs. The planning effort is also reduced, so that a faster realization of the site is guaranteed.

According to the invention, in one embodiment, the maximum height of the mast is 10 m.

According to the above-mentioned state building regulations of North Rhine-Westphalia, antennas up to a height of 10 m do not require a permit. This also reduces the costs and planning effort, so that a faster realization of the site is guaranteed.

For example, if a 10 m high mast is attached to a 4 m high cabin, this would correspond to a state-of-the-art mast with a height of 14 m. This means that a relatively large area can be covered for the radio connection.

The height of the mast and cabin can be adapted to the applicable state building regulations if a cabin and mast are to be erected without a building permit.

To ensure that the cabin is securely and stably mounted, one design provides for the cabin to be set up on one or more individual foundations.

According to the invention, each foundation can be designed as a gravel foundation.

According to the invention, it is also possible for each foundation to be designed as a floor slab, in particular as a precast concrete part.

According to the invention, each foundation can also be designed as an individual concrete foundation.

The choice of foundation should depend on the local conditions. For example, a cabin with four side walls can be erected on four individual foundations, which should be frost-free so that no damage to the structure occurs in winter due to differences in settlement.

It is advantageous if the cabin consists of a hot-dip galvanized frame construction, in particular hot-dip galvanized sheet steel.
25

Such a cabin is relatively inexpensive to manufacture but is very stable.

A further development of the invention provides that the outer sides of the walls of the cabin are plastic-coated.

Such coated walls have the advantage that the cabin is relatively insensitive to weather influences and

• "· · · *

In addition, there are no follow-up costs for maintenance of the external walls.

A further embodiment provides that the interior walls of the cabin can be clad with a wall cladding panel or the like with a fire resistance.

This is an advantage because it makes the cabin relatively resistant to fire damage and the equipment housed in the cabin is relatively protected. It is also an advantage because a fire that starts inside the cabin is less likely to spread to the surrounding components and areas.

A further development of the invention provides that the gaps between the frame construction can be filled with rigid foam or the like under high pressure.

The frame construction gives the cabin the necessary stability. Foam-filled gaps seal these tightly against dirt and dust penetrating the cabin from the outside, serve as thermal insulation and are also relatively inexpensive.

One embodiment provides that the cabin has a floor with at least one opening for the passage of cables or the like.

Telephone cables or power supply cables, for example, can be introduced into the cabin through this floor opening.

To avoid damage to the equipment in the cabin, it is intended that the cabin can be equipped with an air conditioning unit.

According to the invention, it can be provided that the cabin has a ladder on at least one outer wall.

This is advantageous because it allows unhindered and quick access to the roof of the cabin.

A further development of the invention provides that the ladder is at least partially provided on the mast.
10

If repairs are needed on the mast or antennas are to be installed, for example, this can be done using the ladder and no special forklift truck is required.

In a further embodiment, the interior of the cabin is at least partially intended to accommodate a power supply.

Furthermore, according to the invention it is possible that the interior of the cabin is at least partially provided for accommodating at least one radio cabinet.

By installing a power supply system and one or more radio cabinets, the transmission of data is ensured, for example in the mobile communications sector.

For the installation of various cables, it is advantageous if recesses are provided in the side walls of the cabin to accommodate cable ducts.
30

According to the invention, a support structure for supporting the mast can be attached to the roof of the cabin.

Schürmann Ing.-Geielfeehaft mb?} ₄ ÜeidyulbunQvqvA 2*8ucfufct 2000 &idigr;_## ·

M A &ugr;&tgr;&Egr;

In one embodiment of the invention, the support structure is welded.

Such a support structure has a high level of stability.

Another support structure according to the invention can be screwed to the roof of the cabin.

The support structure can be prefabricated in the factory and then screwed onto the roof of the cabin at the installation site.

The support structure can comprise a plate, in particular a steel plate, for fastening the mast.

According to the invention, the mast can be screwed to the plate.

The relatively large forces that can occur due to the mast can be compensated by the fact that the support structure is cross-shaped.

However, a secure fastening of the mast is also guaranteed if the support structure is made of parallel beams, especially steel beams.

The support structure can be manufactured in different ways. For example, it is possible that the support structure is made of hot-dip galvanized material.
30

It is also possible that the supporting structure consists of welded steel tubes.

M A &ugr;&tgr;&Egr;

According to the invention, the support structure can also be made of stainless steel.

Different materials can be used for the cabin itself.

The cabin can be made of concrete, steel, aluminum or other materials that should be as resistant to weather influences as possible and also seal the cabin securely against external influences.

According to the invention, the cabin can be made of plastic, in particular polyvinyl chloride.

One embodiment of the invention provides that the mast is designed as a steel tube.

Such a mast is resistant to weather influences, and in particular, rusting of the mast is impossible. Hot-dip galvanized steel pipes in particular prevent the mast from rusting.

A further development provides that the mast has at least one device for receiving at least one antenna.

The antennas for radio transmission can be attached to these devices.

A further development provides that the mast has devices for accommodating antennas in several levels.

The antennas are attached to the mast at different heights.

According to the invention, the mast has devices for annularly accommodating the antennas around the mast.

In such an arrangement, the antennas are arranged in a ring around the mast. With a combination of devices for holding antennas in several levels and devices for holding the antennas in a ring around the mast, for example, nine antennas can be attached to the mast in three levels.

The number of antennas to be attached depends on the antenna size and the size of the mast.
15

In one embodiment of the invention, it is provided that cables can be led from the antennas along the side of the mast to the cabin.

It is intended that the cables are connected by at least one

Opening in the ceiling of the cabin and/or in at least one

side wall of the cabin into the interior of the cabin.

It is advantageous if the mast can be attached to the roof of the cabin or to a side wall.

In known cabins and masts for transmitting radio connections, the mast is arranged at a certain distance from the cabin. This requires a relatively complex cable routing. In contrast, in the cabin according to the invention, the cable is led directly from the mast into the cabin.

M A UTE

According to the invention, the cables can be attached to the mast using C-rails for cable routing.

In order to prevent moisture from penetrating the opening in the ceiling and/or side wall of the cabin through which the cables are introduced, it is provided that the cables can be guided into the interior of the cabin through a gooseneck-shaped guide provided in the opening in the ceiling and/or side wall.
10

Another embodiment of the invention provides that the cables can be led downwards from the antennas in the mast.

In this design, the cables are protected from external influences by the mast.

This is also advantageous because no additional opening is required to run the cables into the antenna roof.
20

For guiding the cables into the mast, according to the invention, the mast is provided with cable grommets in the area of the antennas for introducing the cables into the interior of the mast.

A further development of the invention provides that a lightning rod connectable to the mast is provided on the roof of the cabin.

If lightning strikes the mast, it is conducted through the mast itself and then discharged through the lightning rod.

Another embodiment of the invention provides that the mast can be erected on at least one foundation or the like and the cabin can be erected around the mast.

Such a construction also reduces the

required space. First, the mast is placed on the

Foundation or similar and then the cabin is built around the mast.

The invention is described below using some embodiments.

a lamp with a motion detector 18 is installed, which is switched on as soon as movement is registered by the motion detector.

In order to avoid overheating and thus destruction of equipment inside the cabin, an air conditioning system 20 is provided in the upper part of the cabin.

Devices for accommodating antennas 22 are provided on the mast 12. The antennas 22 are arranged in three levels. In each level, three antennas 22 are arranged in a ring around the mast 12, so that this mast 12 accommodates a total of nine antennas 22.

The cables from the antennas are led down the inside of the mast 12 and through the ceiling 6 into the cabin 2 .

A ladder 24 is provided on the outside of the cabin 2, which can be used to climb onto the roof 6 of the cabin 2 without any problems.

Figure 2 shows a floor plan of the cabin according to Figure 1. In the cabin 2, a separate room 26 is provided, which is accessible through the outside door 14. In this room, among other things, the electricity meters are located so that they can be read without a stranger having to go into the cabin in which the other technical devices are housed.

The further interior space 28 of the cabin has a power supply system 30 and three radio cabinets 32. A reserve space is provided for a further radio cabinet 34.

Figure 3 shows a section through the inside of the cabin. Here you can see the door 16, through which you can get into the interior of the cabin. The sub-distribution room, which is accessible from the outside and contains the electricity meter, is marked with 26.

An interior light 36 is provided in the interior of the cabin 2.

Furthermore, a blind plug with cover 38 is provided for a possible emergency power supply line, which can be connected inside to the plug 40.

The indoor unit of the air conditioning unit 20 is shown below the ceiling.

The walls 4 of the cabin consist of a hot-dip galvanized frame construction, whereby the walls are made of hot-dip galvanized steel sheets that are plastic-coated on the outside. This makes the cabin relatively insensitive to the effects of the weather. On the inside, the walls 4 are provided with a wall cladding panel with a fire resistance, so that the devices inside the cabin are relatively protected against fire. In addition, a fire that starts inside the cabin can hardly spread to the surrounding components and areas.

The gaps between the hot-dip galvanized frame construction are filled with rigid foam under high pressure.

The outer walls 4 of this cabin can be removed later and replaced by other elements, or the addition of additional room cells is also possible.

The rear wall of the sub-distribution room is covered with sheet metal which is thermally insulated on the inside.

In Figure 3, two floor openings 42 are provided through which power and telephone cables are led into the cabin.

In Figure 1, the fastening of the mast 12 to the cabin 2 is not shown in detail. The fastening is carried out via a firmly welded and hot-dip galvanized support structure, which is screwed onto the roof 6 of the cabin at four corner points. This support structure has a steel plate in the middle for screwing the mast.

Cabin 2 is 4 m high and the mast is 10 m high. This would correspond to a free-standing mast of 14 m. The advantage of this design is that, according to the state building regulations in force in North Rhine-Westphalia since July 2000, no building permit is required for either cabin 2 or mast 12. This reduces the overall costs and planning effort and ensures that the site is built more quickly.
