Description
La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un élément de construction imitant un empilage de pierres sèches, ainsi qu'une installation permettant de mettre en oeuvre ce procédé.The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a building element imitating a stack of dry stones, as well as an installation making it possible to implement this method.
Dans son brevet antérieur FR 2 545 129, le demandeur a décrit un élément préfabriqué du type mentionné, qui est constitué par une plaque de ciment (ou de tout autre liant durcissable similaire), dont l'une des faces est tapissée de pierres juxtaposées apparentes qui sont retenues dans ce ciment ; deux bords opposés de la plaque ont la forme de lignes brisées, par exemple en zigzag, emboîtables l'une dans l'autre ; cet arrangement permet de masquer les jointures entre deux éléments voisins lorsque ceux-ci sont assemblés, notamment pour ériger un mur ou pour poser un dallage, l'assemblage ainsi obtenu imitant un empilage continu de pierres sèches.In his
Actuellement, pour fabriquer un élément de ce genre, le demandeur commence par disposer les pierres - par exemple des déchets de taille de granit - côte à côte sur le fond d'un moule dont le dessus est ouvert et dont les côtés ont une forme identique à celle de l'élément à fabriquer. Il place éventuellement sur la couche de pierres une armature métallique destinée à améliorer la résistance mécanique de l'élément fini, puis coule du ciment fluide dans le moule. Après prise du ciment par séchage, il retire l'élément fini du moule.Currently, to manufacture an element of this kind, the applicant begins by placing the stones - for example granite-cut waste - side by side on the bottom of a mold whose top is open and whose sides have an identical shape. to that of the element to be manufactured. It possibly places on the layer of stones a metal reinforcement intended to improve the mechanical resistance of the finished element, then pours fluid cement into the mold. After setting the cement by drying, it removes the finished element from the mold.
L'expérience a montré que ce procédé traditionnel du demandeur ne donnait pas entière satisfaction du fait que le ciment ne remplit pas toujours complétement et correctement le moule, ce qui crée des vides inaceptables pour l'aspect esthétique ou la résistance mécanique de l'élément, et entraîne parfois une mauvaise retenue des pierres par le ciment ; de plus, le ciment coulé atteint fréquemment les parties apparentes des pierres, et durcit sur ces parties au cours du séchage, ce qui altère l'aspect du produit fini.Experience has shown that this traditional process of the applicant was not entirely satisfactory since the cement does not always fill the mold completely and correctly, which creates voids unacceptable for the aesthetic appearance or the mechanical resistance of the element. , and sometimes leads to poor retention of the stones by the cement; moreover, poured cement frequently reaches the exposed parts of the stones, and hardens on these parts during drying, which alters the appearance of the finished product.
On décrit dans DE-A-2 358 505 un procédé et une machine pour la fabrication de blocs en béton lavé. Le procédé comprend les étapes qui consistent à placer des morceaux de béton grossiers côte à côte sur le fond d'un moule dont la forme correspond à celle de l'élément à réaliser, à remplir le moule de ciment fluide, à comprimer le ciment pour le forcer à se répartir régulièrement à l'intérieur du moule et à s'infiltrer entre les morceaux de béton, à cesser de comprimer le ciment et le laisser faire sa prise et enfin, à extraire l'élément du moule.DE-A-2 358 505 describes a process and a machine for the production of washed concrete blocks. The method includes the steps of placing coarse pieces of concrete side by side on the bottom of a mold whose shape corresponds to that of the element to be produced, filling the mold with fluid cement, compressing the cement to force it to spread evenly inside the mold and infiltrate between the pieces of concrete, stop compressing the cement and let it set and finally, extract the element from the mold.
De plus, ce procédé comprend une étape de lavage de la face inférieure dite "face externe" du bloc alors que le fond du moule est enlevé. Afin d'éviter que les morceaux de béton et le ciment ne s'écoulent vers le bas, il est indispensable que le ciment soit dur à coeur mais tendre du côté à laver. Pour ce faire, on doit avoir recours à un retardateur chimique.In addition, this method comprises a step of washing the lower face called the "external face" of the block while the bottom of the mold is removed. In order to prevent the pieces of concrete and the cement from flowing down, it is essential that the cement be hard at heart but tender on the side to be washed. To do this, a chemical retarder must be used.
Cette étape supplémentaire vient compliquer la mise en oeuvre du procédé puisqu'il est nécessaire d'avoir à sa disposition :This additional step complicates the implementation of the method since it is necessary to have at its disposal:
- un ciment mélangé à un retardateur pour la zone du bloc qui se situe au voisinage des agrégats de béton ;- a cement mixed with a retarder for the area of the block which is located in the vicinity of the concrete aggregates;
- un ciment ordinaire pour le reste du bloc.- ordinary cement for the rest of the block.
L'invention vise à résoudre ces problèmes en proposant un procédé de fabrication du genre mentionné ci-dessus qui soit facile et économique à mettre en oeuvre et qui permette d'obtenir des éléments finis de très bonne qualité, avec un faible pourcentage de rebut, tout en étant adapté à une production de moyenne ou de grande série.The invention aims to solve these problems by proposing a manufacturing process of the kind mentioned above which is easy and economical to implement and which makes it possible to obtain very good quality finished elements, with a low percentage of scrap, while being suitable for medium or large series production.
Ces résultats sont atteints grâce au fait que le fond du moule est constitué par une grille et par le fait que, alors que le ciment est maintenu comprimé, on projette de l'eau à travers le fond en forme de grille sur la face externe de l'élément de manière à en éliminer le ciment qui s'y trouve.These results are achieved by the fact that the bottom of the mold is constituted by a grid and by the fact that, while the cement is kept compressed, water is sprayed through the grid-shaped bottom on the external face of the element so as to remove the cement therein.
Les mailles de la grille constituant le fond de moule sont naturellement déterminées en fonction des dimensions moyennes des pierres utilisées, de telle manière qu'elles ne laissent pas passer la plus petite de ces pierres, tout en étant assez grandes pour ne pas contrarier le passage des jets d'eau destinés à éliminer le ciment superflu.The meshes of the grid constituting the mold base are naturally determined according to the average dimensions of the stones used, so that they do not allow the smallest of these stones to pass, while being large enough not to obstruct the passage water jets to remove excess cement.
Il peut être avantageux, si on souhaite obtenir des éléments renforcés, résistant notamment aux contraintes de traction, de placer dans le moule, avant la coulée du ciment, une armature métallique (par exemple un treillis ou un grillage).It may be advantageous, if it is desired to obtain reinforced elements, resistant in particular to tensile stresses, to place in the mold, before pouring the cement, a metal frame (for example a trellis or a mesh).
D'autre part, pour améliorer l'aspect de l'élément fini et la qualité de retenue des pierres par le ciment, il est préfé-rable de procéder à un lavage des pierres placées dans le moule, puis à projeter sur celles-ci un adjuvant favorisant l'accrochage du ciment, avant la coulée de celui-ci.On the other hand, to improve the appearance of the finished element and the quality of retaining the stones by the cement, it is preferable to wash the stones placed in the mold, then to spray on them an admixture favoring the attachment of the cement, before pouring it.
De manière très simple, la compression du ciment dans le moule peut être réalisée au moyen d'un plateau presseur mobile, parallèle au fond de moule en forme de grille, ce plateau presseur constituant en quelque sorte le couvercle du moule.Very simply, the compression of the cement in the mold can be carried out by means of a movable pressure plate, parallel to the bottom of the mold in the form of a grid, this pressure plate constituting in a way the cover of the mold.
La projection d'eau sur les pierres à travers la grille se fait de préférence en deux phases, un lavage proprement dit par jets d'eau sous pression, suivi d'un rinçage par arrosage en pluie (par production de gouttelettes).The projection of water onto the stones through the grid is preferably done in two phases, a washing proper by pressurized water jets, followed by rinsing by sprinkling in rain (by production of droplets).
On décrit dans CH-A-287 804 une installation de fabrication d'un élément de construction qui comprend une série de moules mobiles placés à la suite les uns des autres sur une voie de roulement, celle-ci passant par une série de postes successifs dans lesquels sont effectuées différentes étapes de fabrication de l'élément. Des moyens de convoyage sont prévus, qui permettent de transférer les moules de poste en poste.CH-A-287 804 describes an installation for manufacturing a construction element which comprises a series of movable molds placed one after the other on a rolling track, the latter passing through a series of successive stations in which various steps of manufacturing the element are carried out. Conveying means are provided, which allow the molds to be transferred from station to station.
L'installation qui fait également l'objet de l'invention et qui permet de mettre en oeuvre le procédé précédemment évoqué, est du type décrit dans CH-A-287 804. Elle est remarquable par le fait que le fond des moules est constitué d'une grille et en ce que les postes successifs comprennent des moyens qui permettent d'effectuer les opérations suivantes :The installation which is also the subject of the invention and which makes it possible to implement the method previously mentioned, is of the type described in CH-A-287 804. It is remarkable by the fact that the bottom of the molds is constituted of a grid and in that the successive stations include means which make it possible to carry out the following operations:
- placer les pierres côte à côte sur le fond d'un moule dont la forme intérieure correspond à celle de l'élément ;- place the stones side by side on the bottom of a mold whose internal shape corresponds to that of the element;
- remplir le moule de ciment fluide ;- fill the mold with fluid cement;
- comprimer le ciment pour le forcer à se répartir régulièrement à l'intérieur du moule et à s'infiltrer entre les pierres ;- compress the cement to force it to spread evenly inside the mold and to infiltrate between the stones;

- cesser de comprimer le ciment et le laisser faire sa prise ;- stop compressing the cement and let it set;
- extraire l'élément du moule.- extract the element from the mold.
Dans un mode de réalisation préférentiel de l'invention, chaque moule est composé de deux parties distinctes aptes à être solidarisées l'une avec l'autre ;In a preferred embodiment of the invention, each mold is composed of two separate parts capable of being joined to one another;
- une partie supérieure en forme de cadre dont la forme intérieure correspond au contour de l'élément ;- an upper part in the form of a frame whose internal shape corresponds to the contour of the element;
- une partie inférieure portant le fond en forme de grille et munie de roues assurant son roulement sur la voie.- a lower part carrying the bottom in the form of a grid and provided with wheels ensuring its rolling on the track.
Lorsqu'on souhaite fabriquer des éléments conformes au brevet FR 2 545 129 déjà cité, on donne à deux bords opposés de la partie supérieure la forme de lignes brisées, à contours complémentaires emboîtables l'un dans l'autre.When it is desired to manufacture elements in accordance with the

L'installation comprend un poste (II) équipé d'un dispositif de lavage 6 et d'un dispositif de pulvérisation d'adjuvant 7, tous deux disposés au-dessus de la trajectoire des moules ; ces dispositifs sont munis de buses de projection de liquide dirigées vers le bas.The installation comprises a station (II) equipped with a washing device 6 and an adjuvant spraying device 7, both arranged above the trajectory of the molds; these devices are fitted with downwardly directed liquid spray nozzles.
L'installation comprend un poste (IV) équipé d'un dispositif de compression du ciment 5, placé au-dessus de la trajectoire des moules. Celui-ci comprend un chariot 51 équipé de roues 55 et guidé en translation sur une voie de roulement 56 horizontale, parallèle à la voie 4. La voie 56 est constituée de rails inférieurs et supérieurs 560 respectivement 561, lesquels retiennent positivement les roues 55 à la fois vers le haut et vers le bas.The installation includes a station (IV) equipped with a cement compression device 5, placed above the trajectory of the molds. This includes a
Ce dispositif 5 comprend également un plateau presseur 50 porté par le chariot 51 et mobile en translation par rapport à celui-ci en direction verticale. Des colonnes verticales 54 assurent le guidage du plateau 50 par rapport au chariot 51, tandis qu'un vérin hydraulique à double effet 52 assure le déplacement du plateau 50, par l'intermédiaire d'une tige de vérin 53.This device 5 also includes a
Le plateau presseur 50 est une plaque rectangulaire de dimensions légèrement supérieures à celles du cadre 2.The
Sur le dessus du chariot 51 est fixée une pièce en équerre 57 à laquelle est attachée l'extrémité libre d'une tige de commande horizontale 58. Cette dernière constitue la tige d'un vérin hydraulique ou pneumatique, à simple effet, agencé pour déplacer positivement le chariot 51 en sens contraire de celui du moule 2-3 (flèche H), et pour ne pas contrarier le déplacement dudit chariot - par mise à la pression atmosphérique de sa chambre de piston - lorsque celui-ci se déplace dans le même sens que le moule (flèche I).On the top of the
Immédiatement en aval du poste (IV) se trouve un poste (V) équipé d'un dispostif de lavage 8 et d'un dispositif de rinçage 9, ces deux dispositifs étant situés au-dessous de la trajectoire des moules, et étant pourvus de buses de projection d'eau qui sont dirigées vers le haut.Immediately downstream of the station (IV) is a station (V) equipped with a washing device 8 and a rinsing device 9, these two devices being located below the trajectory of the molds, and being provided with water spray nozzles which are directed upwards.
La course du vérin 59 est suffisante pour permettre au chariot 51 de passer à l'aplomb des deux dispositifs 8 et 9.The stroke of the
Des organes de commande appropriés, manuels ou automatiques, permettent de mettre en marche les dispositifs de projection 6, 7, 8 et 9 et les vérins 52, 59 en synchronisme avec le passage des moules dans l'installation.Appropriate control members, manual or automatic, make it possible to start the projection devices 6, 7, 8 and 9 and the
La fabrication d'un élément de construction du genre mentionné au moyen de cette installation se fait de la manière suivante :The manufacture of a building element of the kind mentioned by means of this installation is done as follows:
Un opérateur situé au premier poste (désigné (I)) place la partie supérieure 2 sur la partie inférieure 3 d'un moule, et l'y fixe au moyen des organes de bridage prévus à cet effet.An operator located at the first station (designated (I)) places the
Ensuite, un autre opérateur place à l'intérieur du moule 2-3 ainsi constitué, sur la grille 30, une couche de pierres 10 en s'efforçant de les rendre jointives, autant que faire se peut ; il dépose ensuite, éventuellement, sur cette couche une armature métallique 14, soit directement, soit à une certaine distance par l'intermédiare de pièces d'écartement appropriées.Then another operator places inside the mold 2-3 thus formed, on the
Entraînée par la chaîne à taquets 40, le moule 2-3 passe ensuite au poste(II) sous les dispositifs 6 et 7 qui respectivement, par projection d'eau, lavent les pierres 10 (ainsi que, le cas échéant, l'armature 14) et, par pulvérisation, enduisent celles-ci d'un adjuvant approprié de type connu destiné à favoriser l'accrochage du ciment.Driven by the
A la sortie du poste (II), la partie supérieure 2 du moule est remplie de ciment fluide qui vient recouvrir les pierres 10 et l'armature 14 (poste (III)). Ce remplissage peut être effectué soit manuellement par un ou plusieurs opérateurs, soit automatiquement au moyen d'une trémie de déversement placée au-dessus de la trajectoire des moules, soit encore de manière semi-automatique.On leaving the station (II), the
Le moule rempli de ciment arrive ensuite au poste de compression (IV) dont le plateau presseur 50 est abaissé par extension du vérin 52, de manière à venir s'appliquer contre la masse de ciment 11 (flèche J). Il s'ensuit une mise sous pression du ciment qui est forcée d'occuper complètement et de manière homogène la totalité de l'espace intérieur du moule, le ciment s'infiltrant notamment de haut en bas entre les pierres 10 jusqu'à la grille 30 ; durant cette compression, le plateau 50 joue le rôle du couvercle du moule et met en forme la face interne de l'élément 1.The mold filled with cement then arrives at the compression station (IV), the
A titre indicatif, l'expérience a montré qu'une pression de l'ordre de 5 000 Pa était satisfaisante pour obtenir une bonne répartition du ciment dans le moule, lorsqu'on a affaire à un ciment de fluidité normale.As an indication, experience has shown that a pressure of the order of 5,000 Pa is satisfactory to obtain a good distribution of the cement in the mold, when dealing with a cement of normal fluidity.
L'effort de compression développé sur le ciment par le plateau 50, et transmis au chariot 51, est absorbé par les rails supérieures 561 de la voie de roulement 56, de manière à empêcher le soulevement du chariot.The compression force developed on the cement by the
Durant la mise sous pression, le dispositif 5 accompagne le moule dans son mouvement de translation sur la voie 4, tandis que la chambre de piston du vérin 59 est mise à la pression atmosphérique (flèche I). Cet ensemble traverse ainsi le poste (V) (flèche K) où la partie apparente des pierres 10, en appui contre la grille 30, est lavée puis rinçée par les jets d'eau successifs à haute et basse pressions produits par les dispositifs 8, respectivement 9.During the pressurization, the device 5 accompanies the mold in its translational movement on track 4, while the piston chamber of the
Le jets de lavage enlèvent le ciment qui s'est infiltré non seulement sur les parties apparentes des pierres, mais aussi qui s'est logé dans les interstices séparant les pierres jusqu'à la grille 30, ciment qui risquerait de demeurer visible sur le produit fini et d'enlever à ce dernier son aspect de pierres sèches. Ce lavage se fait de préférence à une pression règlable, de telle manière que la puissance des jets puisse être adaptée à la fluidité du ciment et aux calibres des pierres utilisées ; à titre indicatif, la pression des jets d'eau est comprise par exemple entre 0,5 et 5 x 10⁵ Pa.The washing jets remove the cement which has infiltrated not only on the visible parts of the stones, but also which has lodged in the interstices separating the stones up to the
Le rinçage subséquent par gouttelettes d'eau à l'aide du dispostif 9 a pour but d'éliminer les tâches et éclaboussures de ciment pouvant subsister après le lavage, ou pouvant être produites par ce lavage même.The subsequent rinsing by droplets of water with the aid of the device 9 is intended to remove stains and splashes of cement which may remain after washing, or which may be produced by this washing itself.
Le ciment est ensuite décomprimé par suite de la rétraction du vérin 52, cette rétraction provoquant la remontée du plateau 50 (flèche L, poste (VI).The cement is then decompressed as a result of the retraction of the
Simultanément, le vérin 59 qui s'était rétracté par suite de l'avance du chariot 51 (lui-même entraîné par le moule 2-3) est mis en extension, provoquant le retour du dispositif 5 au poste (IV) (flèche M). Ce dispositif est alors prêt à agir sur le moule suivant.Simultaneously, the
Le moule 2-3 est ensuite envoyé (flèche N) sur une aire de stockage et de séchage non représentée, par exemple sur un carrousel de séchage où se produit la prise du ciment. Après durcissement, un opérateur démoule l'élément fini 1 ; l'extraction de l'élément hors du moule est facilitéepar le fait que ce moule est en deux parties, ces dernières pouvant être avantageusement désolidarisées en vue du démoulage.The mold 2-3 is then sent (arrow N) to a storage and drying area not shown, for example on a drying carousel where the setting of the cement takes place. After hardening, an operator demoulds the
La voie de roulement 4 est de préférence un circuit fermé, ce qui permet de ramener le moule vide 3-4 au poste 1 après le démoulage, ce moule vide étant alors prêt à recevoir un nouveau chargement.The raceway 4 is preferably a closed circuit, which allows the empty mold 3-4 to be brought back to
Il va de soi que la présente invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation préférentiel qui vient d'être décrit à simple titre d'exemple ; elle en englobe au contraire toutes les variantes.It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the preferred embodiment which has just been described by way of example; on the contrary, it encompasses all variants.
C'est ainsi qu'on pourrait, par exemple, pour augmenter la cadence de fabrication, monter plusieurs moules sur un même chariot circulant dans l'installation, par exemple un groupe de quatre moules par chariot.This is how one could, for example, to increase the production rate, mount several molds on the same cart circulating in the installation, for example a group of four molds per cart.
Par ailleurs les moules ne sont pas obligatoirement fixés sur les chariots mais peuvent être simplement posés sur ceux-ci.Furthermore, the molds are not necessarily fixed on the carriages but can be simply placed on them.
La grille constituant le fond du moule n'est pas nécessairement formée de barrettes croisées. Par le terme "grille" on entend toute plaque perforée apte à retenir convenablement les pierres et le ciment dans le moule tout en autorisant le passage des jets d'eau de lavage.The grid constituting the bottom of the mold is not necessarily formed of crossed bars. The term "grid" means any perforated plate capable of properly retaining the stones and the cement in the mold while allowing the passage of the jets of washing water.
