Description

Device for the orientation of a edification.

The objective of the present invention is a device that allows varying the orientation of any type of building, so that you can enjoy the advantages This possibility brings to the individual.

It is applicable in residential buildings, swimming pools, garages ... etc., and in general in all types of buildings that has an interest in modifying its orientation throughout the weather.

Traditionally, buildings have been fixed with respect to the terrain, which has the consequence that its guidance cannot be optimized throughout the day and for different seasons of the year but must be chosen between a commitment between different contradictory demands. So, a house sunny in winter will probably be hot in summer while that a particularly dark and cool area in summer will result Certainly chill in winter. Even throughout the day we will observe that bright rooms in the morning are dark to Late afternoon and vice versa.

There is a certain interest in being able to adjust the orientation of the building throughout the day and for different days of the year, which constitutes the objective of the present invention

The proposed solution is to arrange the building in question on a rotating platform that rests through rolling supports on a fixed base anchored to the ground. Said turntable is integral with a vertical hollow shaft, arranged in its center, which receives the turning movement of a gearmotor through suitable transmission means.

In this way, activating the gearmotor will get the rotation of the hollow shaft and the turntable to it associated and, consequently, that of the building that rests about it.

Advantageously the gearmotor and the means of transmission are located in a machine room arranged in the base fixed, under the hollow shaft, through which the pipes pass of water, electricity, telephony .., etc., designed to ensure the different services of the building.

To complement the description above and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a detailed description of a preferred embodiment, based on a set of drawings that accompany this descriptive report and where with character indicative and not limiting the following has been represented:

Figure 1 shows a sectional elevation schematic of the device object of the invention.

As can be seen in Figures 1 to 3, the device object of the invention is constituted by a turntable (2) resting through rolling supports (3) on a fixed base (4) anchored in the ground (5). A hollow shaft (6), vertical and integral with the turntable (2), ends inferiorly in a crown (9) on which a pinion gear (10) which constitutes the output of the movement of a geared motor (7). This and the transmission means (8) constituted by the crown (9) and the pinion (10) is located in a machine room (20) arranged at the fixed base (4) under the hollow shaft (6).

Preferably, the fixed base (4) has a horizontal support surface (11), a support surface vertical (12) and an inclined support surface (13) while the turntable (2) has a pushing surface horizontal (14) and an inclined thrust surface (15).

The rolling supports (3) are constituted by horizontal rollers (16) that play between the support surface horizontal (11) and horizontal thrust surface (14), rollers inclined (17) that play between the inclined support surface (13) and the inclined thrust surface (15) and vertical rollers (18) that play between the vertical support surface (12) and the outer surface (19) of the hollow shaft (6).

The operation of the device for orientation of a building object of the invention works as as follows. Once the gearmotor (7) is activated, its movement will be transmitted to the hollow shaft (6) through the means of  transmission (8) and, consequently, to the turntable (2) solidarity of the same, as well as the building (1) that on this rest well. Logically, command elements and control such as keypads, limit switches and others components that will be well known by the expert in the matter, and that have been omitted seeking greater clarity of the Description and drawings. For the same reason they have not represented the positioning means of the rolling supports (3), which may consist of simple separators.

Likewise, the gearmotor (7) may be electric or hydraulic and the transmission means (8), although have preferably described as formed by a set of crown (9) and pinion (10) could be constituted by any equivalent mechanism, such as chains on sprockets.

Finally the rolling supports (3) have been chosen in the preferred embodiment so that the horizontal, vertical and inclined reactions, but it is evident that any equivalent system may be used, varying the number and disposition of the supports whenever it can be faced to the loads transmitted by the building with a friction admissible.
