Abstract

There is provided a horizontally and vertically extendable building structure module that includes a panel, a structural frame and one or more beams. The panel may be designed to form or set into a floor, ceiling, wall, window, door or any other components that may cover surface of the building. The structural frame may be designed to provide the structural shape and strength and hold the panels. The beams may be designed to connect and align the structural frame. The horizontally and vertically extendable building structure module is configured to build a building structure without additional structural support. Because of the minimized number of components for the building structure, time and cost for building construction may be reduced.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
We claim: 
     
         1 . A horizontally and vertically extendable building structure module comprising:
 a panel;   a structural frame with one or more elongated connectors on each lateral side, the structural frame being configured to hold the panel; and   one or more beams with one or more elongated mating connectors on each lateral side, the beams being configured to connect and align the structural frames by interconnecting the elongated connector and the elongated mating connector,   wherein the building structure module is configured to build a building structure without additional structural support.   
     
     
         2 . The building structure module of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more elongated connectors is an elongated protrusion extending outwardly and wherein the one or more elongated mating connectors is an elongated groove. 
     
     
         3 . The building structure module of  claim 1 , wherein the structural frame and the beam are capable of being connected and disconnected multiple times. 
     
     
         4 . The building structure module of  claim 1 , the panel comprising:
 an internal frame;   a collection of hexagonal prismatic cells surrounded by the internal frame; and   a skin covering the internal frame and the collection of hexagonal prismatic cells.   
     
     
         5 . The building structure module of  claim 4 , wherein the hexagonal prismatic cells are filled with insulating materials. 
     
     
         6 . The building structure module of  claim 1 , wherein the structural frame is shaped in rectangle. 
     
     
         7 . The building structure module of  claim 2 , wherein the elongated protrusion is configured to be complementary to the elongated groove in shape and size. 
     
     
         8 . The building structure module of  claim 2 , wherein head of the elongated protrusion is larger than body of the elongated protrusion. 
     
     
         9 . The building structure module of  claim 8 , wherein the elongated protrusion is a T-shaped extrusion and the elongated groove is a T-slot rail. 
     
     
         10 . The building structure module of  claim 1 , wherein the beam is shaped in rectangular prism. 
     
     
         11 . The building structure module of  claim 1 , wherein interior of the beam is at least partly hollow. 
     
     
         12 . The building structure module of  claim 11 , wherein the beam is filled with materials providing more rigidity. 
     
     
         13 . The building structure module of  claim 11 , wherein the beam is filled with insulating materials. 
     
     
         14 . The building structure module of  claim 1 , wherein the panel is a floor, a ceiling or a roof. 
     
     
         15 . The building structure module of  claim 1 , wherein the panel comprises one or more of a wall, window and door. 
     
     
         16 . The building structure module of  claim 1 , wherein the panel is made of one or more of wood, concrete and metal. 
     
     
         17 . The building structure module of  claim 1 , wherein the structural frame is made of one or more of wood, concrete and metal. 
     
     
         18 . The building structure module of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more beams are made of one or more of wood, concrete and metal. 
     
     
         19 . The building structure module of  claim 1  further comprising: one or more covers with one or more elongated connecting components, each cover being configured to connect one of the one or more beams by interconnecting the elongated connecting component and the elongated mating connector. 
     
     
         20 . The building structure module of  claim 1 , wherein the structural frame secures the panel using chemical locking system. 
     
     
         21 . The building structure module of  claim 20 , wherein the chemical locking system comprises a plurality of chemical components, the plurality of chemical components, upon mixing, generating chemical foam.
