Definitions

  • This invention relates to a block for forming constructing walls and constructing roofs, as well as walls thus formed.
  • it relates to a block capable of forming the walls, which are double-side leak-proof and water-stop.
  • the leaking portions are: 1) leakage of the masonry joint of the wall, 2) leakage between the masonry block and the frame pillar in the construction of framework, 3) leakage between the masonry block and the top surface of frame girder in the construction of framework, 4) leakage between the masonry block and the bottom surface of frame girder in the construction of framework.
  • CN00103227. 5 discloses a "masonry block of dry brick".
  • Claim 1 thereof defines that "a block for forming a wall by engaging with other blocks, comprising a top surface having a ridge thereon, a bottom surface having a slot for engaging with the ridge, a front surface and a rear surface of platforms. There are notches at the ends to make a lap joint”.
  • the ridge 3 preferably has a front slope portion 6 and a rear slope portion 26, the front slope portion 6 and the back slope portion 26 make the water entering the space between two bricks discharge from the space between the blocks”.
  • the part between the blocks is a horizontal masonry joint, the slightly projected ridge of this block has the function of leak proof.
  • the ridge, the slot and the notches of the block take the functions of "inlay” and “lap joint", however, they do not solve the leak proof of the vertical masonry joints in different weather environments.
  • the slightly projected ridge of this block has a limited function of leak proof. Just like the assembled block of CN86106157 and the hollow block of CN03218670.3, it is valueless for a general leak proof of the wall.
  • CN96194387.4 discloses "a block for forming the dry-masonry wall". It merely has the function of one-side leak proof, suitable for the dry masonry or laid-dry method and unsuitable for the sticking masonry. And, the dry masonry thus formed is not suitable for the main wall, since it has a bad lateral stability. It is inconvenient to fire this block in the form of bar. If the small ridges and slots are changed into a horizontal plane to make the sticking masonry convenient, then the block will lose the function of mutual engagement, and thus making the lateral instability more easy. When constructed with stones and bricks by mortar, the extending ply of the mortar on drainage bevel surface of every block is inconsistent.
  • the wall has the possibility of lateral instability.
  • the surface of the wall will not be smooth because of the uneven projection of the block.
  • the solutions for solving leaking problem of the joint between the masonry block and the frame pillar are mainly that: providing tension reinforcing steel bar and pouring-punning them into linked girder to strengthen the joint and reduce the craze.
  • this can not solve the problems of craze and leak proof.
  • sealing cincture, waterproof ointment and some other water-proof materials to make the constructive slots and distortional slots air-proof and leak-proof.
  • the sealing cincture and waterproof ointment are prone to be aged.
  • Another leak-proof measure i.e., providing a sweat-soldering leak-proof layer between the wall and the rock, however, this measure usually results in leakage because of the loose engagement of the jointing, drop of the jointing, or craze of the leak-proof layer due to a distortion of the building.
  • this invention provides the solutions as follows.
  • a block for forming a wall wherein a plurality of analogous blocks are overlapped staggeringly and continuously in the wall.
  • the block is a longitudinally profiled member, and includes a top surface, a bottom surface and two end surfaces.
  • the cross section of the block is substantially of a shape of downward-flared recess.
  • the top surface of said block has a mid ridge higher than two sides of the surface so that a left supporting slope and a right supporting slope are formed.
  • the upper surface and bottom surface are formed such that: when the block is overlapped with a analogous block thereunder to form the wall, the top surface of the underlying block is engaged with the bottom surface of the upper block.
  • the left and right supporting slopes are used as a blocking structure and make the vertically adjacent blocks to be interlocked
  • the "longitudinally profiled member” does not mean a completely uniform geometrical cross section. On the contrary, it means a structure, which mainly features in the left and right supporting slopes.
  • the block can include tongued-and-grooved structure on two end surfaces, or can have a hole inside the block. All of these can be considered as a longitudinally profiled member having the same cross section.
  • the "the cross section of the block being substantially of a shape of downward-flared recess” means such a feature that: the block has a small top and a large bottom; the projecting size of the mid ridge is large enough to cut off a space-time trajectory; the downward-flared recess for masonry engagement is deep correspondingly. For example, no matter with or without the shoulder, it is still within the concept of "the cross section of the shape of downward-flared recess".
  • the space-time trajectory can be obtained based on the given standards on leak proof or non watertight and soil keeping.
  • the projecting size of the mid ridge can be determined according to the calculated space-time trajectory.
  • the leak proof or non watertight and soil keeping standards can be established by the weather, experience and requirements in every country and every quarter.
  • said "mid ridge” does not mean an exact geometrically middle or central portion. Any ridge, so long as it can form the left and right supporting slopes, can be considered as the mid ridge.
  • the ridge of the block which has a shoulder on one side or has different supporting slopes on both sides, also belong to the mid ridge.
  • the left and right supporting slopes are used as a blocking structure. It shall be emphasized that it is a blocking structure capable of being leak-proof or non-watertight and soil-keeping.
  • the "being engaged with” means that the blocks are sized and shaped such that they can form the wall by dry masonry, sticking masonry, dry hanging and other masonry constructions.
  • the engagement between the adjacent blocks, or between the block and the auxiliary block, or between the block and the relevant member in the wall can be used to form the wall.
  • the sticking masonry means a masonry by using cement and mortar, mixed mortar, chemical glue, adhesives and other bonding materials.
  • the dry masonry and dry hanging do not adopt the bonding materials.
  • the blocks are shaped and sized such that: when three analogous blocks are overlapped vertically, the vertical distance between the top of the ridge of the bottommost block and the bottom foot of the uppermost block is less than one third of the height of the block.
  • the blocks are shaped and sized such that: when the three analogous blocks are overlapped vertically, the top of the ridge of the bottommost block is higher than the bottom foot of the uppermost block.
  • the leak-proof or non-watertight and soil-keeping effects are the most perfect.
  • the "bottom foot” means the lowest portion of both sides, the sides are bounded by the mid ridge, of the block. When the lowest portion is a plane, the bottom foot is the portion which is most close to the surface of the wall to be formed.
  • the top surface has a radiation-proof plate thereon, which extends out of the end surface.

  • a block assembly for forming a wall comprises blocks and auxiliary blocks.
  • a block for forming a wall wherein a plurality of analogous blocks are overlapped staggeringly and continuously in the wall.
  • the block is a longitudinally profiled member, and includes a top surface, a bottom surface and two end surfaces.
  • the cross section of the block is substantially of a shape of downward-flared recess.

  • the upper surface and bottom surface are formed such that: when the block is overlapped with a analogous block thereunder to form the wall, the top surface of the underlying block is engaged with the bottom surface of the upper block.
  • the left and right supporting slopes are used as a blocking structure and interlock the vertically adjacent blocks.
  • masonry joints are formed between the adjacent blocks
  • horizontal masonry joints are formed by the engagement between the top surfaces and the bottom surfaces
  • vertical masonry joints are formed by the engagement between the end surfaces
  • the vertically adjacent vertical masonry joints are arranged staggeringly.
  • the staggering arrangement makes the blocks to be interlocked with each other to form a stable wall.
  • the vertical masonry joints are also capable of producing the leak-proof effect and the non-watertight and soil-keeping effect.
  • an outward-extending piece is provided on the side surface of the pillar.
  • the outward-extending piece is engaged with the blocks, thus avoiding the leakage at the joint between the block and the pillar, and making the block to be engaged with the pillar and to be firmly interlocked.

  • a non-watertight channel can be provided in the masonry joint of the wall.
  • the water can run through the channel from one side of the wall to the other side.
  • the non-watertight channel is larger, and thus better non-watertight effect can be produced.
  • An isolation layer is provided on one side of the wall.
  • the isolation layer is composed of several isolation sub-layers.
  • the isolation sub-layers in the same layer are arranged in a manner of end to end.

  • This invention solves the leak-proof problem and the non-watertight and soil-keeping problem by offering and analyzing a space-time trajectory of the fourth dimension.
  • Theoretical model of leak proof is that: when the water on the surface of the wall flows into the horizontal masonry joint and then into the vertical masonry joint, or directly into the vertical masonry joint, it flows inwardly and downwardly into the wall under the gravity and wind pressure, its space-time trajectory of leakage follows the rule of "high to low”.
