Abstract

Disclosed is a dome type structure induing main wall parts ( 10 ), forming four walls and a portion of a ceiling, each of which is provided with a lower end fixed to or buried under the ground in each of four directions and an upper end bent in a dome shape toward the center of the upper portion of the structure such that both edges of the upper ends of the neighboring main wall parts contact each other; corner wall parts ( 20 ) disposed at four corners of the structure between the neighboring main wall parts ( 10 ), and thus forming dome type corners; and a central ceiling part ( 30 ) closing a hole formed at the ceiling by connecting the main wall parts ( 10 ) such that the central ceiling part contacts the upper surfaces of the main wall parts ( 10 ), thereby being simply and rapidly assembled and disassembled.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A dome type structure comprising:
 main wall parts, forming four walls and a portion of a ceiling, each of is which provided with a lower end fixed to or buried under the ground in each of four directions and an upper end bent in a dome shape toward the center of the upper portion of the structure such that both edges of the upper ends of the neighboring main wall parts contact each other; and   corner wall parts disposed at four corners of the structure between the neighboring main wall parts, and thus forming dome type corners.   
     
     
         2 . The dome type structure according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a central ceiling part closing a hole formed at the ceiling by connecting the main wall parts such that the central ceiling part contacts the upper surfaces of the main wall parts.   
     
     
         3 . The dome type structure according to  claim 2 , wherein the central ceiling part includes an outer frame, and a transparent window installed in the outer frame. 
     
     
         4 . The dome type structure according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the corner wall parts includes first and second corner wall parts having the same structure, prepared in a pair, which are divided from each other by a central line. 
     
     
         5 . The dome type structure according to  claim 4 , wherein the first and second corner wall parts are respectively integrated with the neighboring main wall parts. 
     
     
         6 . The dome type structure according to  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the main wall parts is arranged in the corresponding wall direction. 
     
     
         7 . The dome type structure according to  claim 1 , wherein a door hole is formed through any one of the main wall parts and a door, which can be opened and closed, is connected to the door hole. 
     
     
         8 . The dome type structure according to  claim 1 , wherein a window hole is formed through any one of the main wall parts and a window, which can be opened and closed, is connected to the window hole. 
     
     
         9 . The dome type structure according to  claim 1 , wherein a saw-toothed engaging protrusion is formed on each of the side surfaces of the main wall parts and the corner wall parts such that the saw-toothed engaging protrusion of each of the side surfaces of the main wall parts is engaged with the saw-toothed engaging protrusion of the corresponding one of the side surfaces of the corner wall parts. 
     
     
         10 . The dome type structure according to  claim 1 , further comprising an outer wall reinforcing material for reinforcing the outer wall surfaces of the main wall parts. 
     
     
         11 . The dome type structure according to  claim 10 , wherein the outer wall reinforcing material is ceramic or mortar applied to the outer wall surfaces of the main wall parts at a designated thickness. 
     
     
         12 . The dome type structure according to  claim 11 , wherein the thickness of the outer wall reinforcing material is in the range of 0.5-1.5 mm. 
     
     
         13 . The dome type structure according to  claim 10 , wherein the outer wall reinforcing material is a mesh net having a lattice structure buried in the main wall parts. 
     
     
         14 . The dome type structure according to  claim 2 , wherein each of the corner wall parts includes first and second corner wall parts having the same structure, prepared in a pair, which are divided from each other by a central line. 
     
     
         15 . The dome type structure according to  claim 2 , wherein a plurality of the main wall parts is arranged in the corresponding wall direction. 
     
     
         16 . The dome type structure according to  claim 2 , wherein a door hole is formed through any one of the main wall parts and a door, which can be opened and closed, is connected to the door hole. 
     
     
         17 . The dome type structure according to  claim 2 , wherein a window hole is formed through any one of the main wall parts and a window, which can be opened and closed, is connected to the window hole. 
     
     
         18 . The dome type structure according to  claim 2 , wherein a saw-toothed engaging protrusion is formed on each of the side surfaces of the main wall parts and the corner wall parts such that the saw-toothed engaging protrusion of each of the side surfaces of the main wall parts is engaged with the saw-toothed engaging protrusion of the corresponding one of the side surfaces of the corner wall parts. 
     
     
         19 . The dome type structure according to  claim 2 , further comprising an outer wall reinforcing material for reinforcing the outer wall surfaces of the main wall parts.
