Abstract

A plurality of different types of modules are used to form external and internal walls of a building system. Adjacent modules are interlocked by first and second fitting surfaces of respective adjacent modules. First and second adjacent modules are attached using a fastening system which includes a fixing rod and wall fitting unit. A fitting surface of the first adjacent module is fitted with the wall fitting unit and the fixing rod is inserted through the second adjacent module.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A building system comprising:
 a plurality of different types of modules for forming external and internal walls of a building structure, wherein adjacent modules are interlocked by first and second fitting surfaces of respective adjacent modules; and   a fastening system for attaching first and second adjacent modules, the fastening system comprises a fixing rod and wall fitting unit, wherein one of the fitting surfaces of the first adjacent module is fitted with the wall fitting unit and the fixing rod is inserted through the second adjacent module.   
   
   
       2 . The building system of  claim 1  wherein the different types of modules comprises:
 a corner module having first and second fitting surfaces for mating with adjacent modules to form a bend in the building structure; and   intermediate modules for interconnecting a plurality of corner structures to form external walls of the building structure.   
   
   
       3 . The building system of  claim 2  wherein the intermediate modules comprise at least middle modules having first and second fitting surface, the first fitting surface comprises a male fitting surface and the second fitting surface comprises a female fitting surface, the male and female surfaces of adjacent modules are interlocked. 
   
   
       4 . The building system of  claim 3  wherein intermediate modules further comprise T-modules which include first, second and third fitting surfaces for forming intersecting walls in the building structure. 
   
   
       5 . The building system of  claim 4  wherein fitting surfaces of the T-modules are interconnected with fitting surfaces of middle modules to form intersection walls of the building structure. 
   
   
       6 . The building system of  claim 1  wherein the modules comprises a length equal to a height of a wall. 
   
   
       7 . The building system of  claim 6  wherein the modules include at least one cavity through the length thereof. 
   
   
       8 . The building system of  claim 7  wherein the cavity facilitates installation of services including plumbing and electrical services. 
   
   
       9 . The building system of  claim 1  wherein modules comprises a geopolymer composite. 
   
   
       10 . The building system of  claim 9  wherein the geopolymer composite comprises cement, fly ash, paper fiber and water. 
   
   
       11 . The building system of  claim 10  wherein the geopolymer composite further comprises calcium carbonate, chemical methyl cellulose and recycled dust. 
   
   
       12 . The building system of  claim 1  wherein the modules comprises an extruded geopolymer composite. 
   
   
       13 . The building system of  claim 1  wherein fitting surfaces include a plurality of top holes and a plurality of bottom holes to facilitate attaching adjacent modules with the fastening system, wherein first and second adjacent modules are attached together with a first of top and bottom holes and second and third adjacent modules are attached together with a second of top and bottom holes. 
   
   
       14 . A method of assembling a building system comprising:
 providing a building structure base;   mounting corner modules to the building structure base at corners of the building structure base;   mating interconnecting types of building modules sequentially from the corner modules, wherein adjacent interconnecting types of building modules are mated by male and female fitting surfaces; and   attaching adjacent interconnecting types of building modules with a fastening system, the fastening system comprises a wall fitting unit mounted on the fitting surface of one of the modules and inserting a fixing rod through the other of the adjacent module and mating with the wall fitting unit.   
   
   
       15 . A method of forming a module of a building system comprising:
 preparing a geopolymer mixture of the module;   inputting the geopolymer mixture into an extrusion system; and   extruding a module from a mold, wherein the module comprises at least a first fitting surface for mating with a module with a second fitting surface, wherein the first fitting surface comprises one of a male or female surface and the second fitting surface comprises other of a male or female surface.   
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the geopolymer mixture comprises cement, fly ash, paper fiber and water. 
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 16  wherein the geopolymer mixture further comprises calcium carbonate, chemical methyl cellulose and recycled dust.
