Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shape a soil wall by wrapping up a moistened mixture of clay and fiber materials and also a reinforcement material with a porous sheet, applying vibrations and pressure to shape them and then drying them, thereby making a lightweight and peel-off resistant soil wall that should not be constructed directly on structures. <P>SOLUTION: A moistened mixture of clay and fiber materials in larger volume than the clay is produced. The fiber materials are controlled by wrapping up this moistened mixture with a porous sheet. The clay, fiber materials and reinforcement materials can well adhere together by applying vibrations and pressures to them. A homogeneous soil wall can be produced by suppressing clay particles when they come out to the surface by the applied pressure. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

本発明は多孔性シート材で粘土と繊維材の含水混合物に、補強材を内包し被覆してから振動及び加圧、成形した後乾燥した土壁成形体とその製造方法に関するものである。  The present invention relates to a soil wall molded body which is a porous sheet material, which is coated with a reinforcing material in a water-containing mixture of clay and fiber material, and then dried, and then dried, and a method for producing the same.

従来の土壁の構築は水分を多量に含んだ粘土に繊維を分散させたペースト状の含水混合物を造り、これを柱、間柱、梁、桟等に支持された下地にいわゆる湿式工法で一定の厚みに塗工する方法が採用されてきた。この工法は下塗り、中塗り、上塗りの工程を経る必要から乾燥期間を含め土壁の構築には長期間を要した。のみならず重ね塗りの境面に剥離が発生しやすく、仕上がりの品質は施工した技術者の技能に依存し、高価な工事代は避けられなかった。  The conventional construction of the earth wall is to create a paste-like water-containing mixture in which fibers are dispersed in clay containing a large amount of moisture, and this is fixed to the foundation supported by columns, studs, beams, bars, etc. by a so-called wet method. A method of coating to a thickness has been adopted. This construction method required a long period of time for the construction of the earth wall, including the drying period, because it needed to undergo the steps of undercoating, intermediate coating, and topcoating. Not only was the boundary surface of the overcoating easily peeled off, but the quality of the finished product depended on the skill of the engineer, and an expensive construction fee was inevitable.

現在では天然の土を素材として化学物質を混合した珪素壁材、大津壁材、天然砂や砕石、粘土、又はそれらに着色したものを合成樹脂系で練り仕上材としたものを下地のボードに塗布したものや木枠或いは金属枠に補強材を施し土壁を塗って枠ごと構造物に付ける土壁パネルが出願されたが本来の土壁と合わせれば欠点も有る。長期にわたって造作されてきた日本古来の柔和な土壁の表面性状からはほど遠いものである。たとえば日本の文化である茶道を満喫するには土壁で構築された茶室が最も適したもので、この発明に係る被覆土壁物はこのような要求に応えるものである。
特開 平9−256542号公報
At present, the base board is made of natural soil, silicon wall material mixed with chemicals, Otsu wall material, natural sand, crushed stone, clay, or those colored with synthetic resin. A soil wall panel has been filed in which a reinforcing material is applied to a coated material, a wooden frame, or a metal frame, and a soil wall is applied to attach the frame to the structure. However, there are disadvantages when combined with the original soil wall. It is far from the surface texture of the soft wall of ancient Japan that has been made for a long time. For example, a tea room constructed of earthen walls is the most suitable for enjoying the Japanese tea ceremony, which is a Japanese culture, and the covered earthen wall according to the present invention meets such requirements.

解決しようとする課題点は粘土に繊維材を混合した含水混合物は従来の手塗りや枠組みでの形成でも思うような体形状や取り扱いは難易で、密度性や全体の強度も乏しく分離、剥離もしやすい点である。The problem to be solved is that the water-containing mixture of clay mixed with fiber material is difficult to form and handle as expected with conventional hand-painting and frame formation, and the density and overall strength are poor, and separation and peeling are difficult. It is an easy point.

課題を解決しようとする課題The challenge to solve the problem

本発明は多孔性シート材に粘土と繊維材との含水混合物に、補強材を内包しこれを被覆して振動及び加圧、成形する事を最も主要な特徴とする。  The most important feature of the present invention is that a porous sheet material is encapsulated in a water-containing mixture of clay and fiber material, and a reinforcing material is encased and coated, and vibration, pressure and molding are performed.

発明の効果The invention's effect

この発明の土壁成形体と、その製造方法は補強材を粘土と繊維材の含水混合物で内包し多孔性シート材で被覆することで粘土に繊維材をより多く混入しても多孔性シート材で繊維材を抑えて、それを振動及び加圧することで圧力によって粘土と繊維材の密着も向上し、その粘土粒子が多孔性シート材に押し出され、その粒子を抑えることで、表面の密度も向上し分離、剥離も少なく軽量の土壁成形体を成形し、それを人工乾燥する事で短時間で製造する事が出来る。  The earth wall molded body of the present invention and the manufacturing method thereof include a porous sheet material in which a reinforcing material is encapsulated with a water-containing mixture of clay and fiber material and covered with a porous sheet material so that more fiber material is mixed into the clay. By suppressing the fiber material with vibration and pressurizing it, the adhesion between the clay and the fiber material is also improved by the pressure, the clay particles are pushed out to the porous sheet material, the surface density is also suppressed by suppressing the particles It can be manufactured in a short time by forming a lightweight earth wall molding with improved separation and separation and artificially drying it.

土壁成形体は困難な粘土に、より多くの繊維材を混入した含水混合物と補強材を多孔性シート材で被覆することで、含水混合物の取り扱いが容易になる事と所定の形状が多孔性シート材で包まれる事で全体の強度も大きく、分離、剥離が少なくなり土壁成形体の取り扱いも容易にした。  The clay wall molded body is made of clay, which is difficult to coat, and the porous sheet material covers the water-containing mixture and reinforcing material mixed with more fiber materials, making it easier to handle the water-containing mixture and making the specified shape porous. By wrapping with a sheet material, the overall strength is high, separation and peeling are reduced, and handling of the earth wall molding is easy.

The perspective view of an example which included the water-containing mixture and the reinforcing material in the framework, and covered and formed it with the porous sheet material.

この多孔性シート材の製法は粘土により多くの繊維材を混入して含水混合物を作り、多孔性シート材に敷設して下層としその上に補強材を埋設し更にその上に敷設して上層とし被覆してから、振動及び加圧する事で含水混合物が圧力で粘土と繊維材の密着を向上させて、その粘土粒子が多孔性通水孔に押し出され、その粒子を抑える事で表面の密度も向上して内面、表面が更に一体化し分離剥離のない土壁成形体が成形される。この多孔性材の編み目、織り目は好ましくは3mm〜1cm前後で布、金網、樹脂等の多孔性シート材は成形或いは乾燥後剥離する事も出来る。  This porous sheet material is made by mixing a large amount of fiber material with clay to make a water-containing mixture, laying on the porous sheet material as a lower layer, embedding a reinforcing material thereon, and further laying on it as an upper layer. After coating, the water-containing mixture improves the adhesion between clay and fiber material by pressure by vibration and pressurization, and the clay particles are pushed out into the porous water passage, and the density of the surface is reduced by suppressing the particles. As a result, the inner wall and the surface are further integrated to form a soil wall molded body without separation and peeling. The stitches and weaves of the porous material are preferably around 3 mm to 1 cm, and the porous sheet material such as cloth, wire mesh, and resin can be peeled off after being molded or dried.

所定の形状の多孔性シート材に粘土と繊維材の含水混合物に補強材を内包し被覆してから振動及び加圧、成形する製法は粘土により多くの植物繊維を混入し例えば藁、笹、萱、ヨシ、ドクダミ、ゲンノショウコ、オオバコ、等の多くを混入した含水混合物と補強材を多孔性シート材で被覆する事で繊維材を抑え振動及び、加圧する事で更に粘土と繊維材が密着しその粘土粒子が多孔性の通水孔に押し出され、その粒子を抑える事で全面が多孔性シート材で被覆された土壁成形体が成形される。この土壁成形体は植物繊維が多く混入しているので全体の重みも軽く保温性、殺菌性も有り更には分離、剥離の無い土壁成形体を製造する事が出来る。更には所定の形状の多孔性シートの袋物にその含水混合物と補強材を内包しこれを振動及び、加圧する製法はより多様の形態も容易に作れ、密度ある土壁成形体を製造する事が出来る。  In a manufacturing method in which a porous sheet material of a predetermined shape encapsulates and coats a water-containing mixture of clay and fiber material with a reinforcing material, and then vibrates, pressurizes, and molds, a lot of plant fibers are mixed into the clay, for example By covering the water-containing mixture and reinforcing material mixed with a lot of reeds, reeds, dokudami, genokosho, psyllium, etc. with a porous sheet material, the fiber material is suppressed and vibration and pressure are applied to further adhere the clay and the fiber material. The clay particles are extruded into the porous water passage holes, and by suppressing the particles, a clay wall molded body whose entire surface is covered with the porous sheet material is formed. Since this soil wall molded body contains a lot of plant fibers, it is possible to produce a soil wall molded body having a light weight as a whole, heat retaining properties and bactericidal properties, and without separation and peeling. Furthermore, the manufacturing method in which the water-containing mixture and the reinforcing material are encapsulated in a bag of a porous sheet of a predetermined shape, and this is vibrated and pressurized can easily be made in various forms, and a dense earth wall molded body can be manufactured. I can do it.

請求5の枠内での成形は粘土と繊維材の含水混合物を作り多孔性シート材にこの含水混合物に補強材を内包して被覆し所定の形状の枠内で振動及び、加圧する事で損なう事無く所定の形状に成形する事が出来る。その振動方は手動で枠を叩く或いは抑える或いは機械的振動。加圧は上面から叩く或いは抑える或いは機械的ローラ或いはプレス等で振動、加圧する事である。  The molding in the frame of claim 5 is impaired by making a water-containing mixture of clay and fiber material, covering the porous sheet material with a reinforcing material in the water-containing mixture, and vibrating and pressurizing in a frame of a predetermined shape. It can be molded into a predetermined shape without any problems. The vibration method is manually hitting or suppressing the frame or mechanical vibration. The pressurization is tapping or suppressing from the upper surface, or vibration or pressurization with a mechanical roller or a press.

Furthermore, it is a manufacturing method in which only the upper surface is coated, in which the upper surface is coated with a porous material, and then vibration, pressure, and molding are performed.

補強材の図3に示す格子材は50cm×10cm角に組合わせた自然材である。又は穿孔された薄い板、格子状、ネット或いは棒状で何れも自然材若しくは金属製材、合成材、樹脂材で下層、上層の分離剥離の防止或いは土壁本体の強度を維持し更にはその補強材をもって構造物に接合する為の力骨になる。  The lattice material shown in FIG. 3 of the reinforcing material is a natural material combined in a 50 cm × 10 cm square. Or a perforated thin plate, grid, net or bar, all of which are natural or metal, synthetic, or resin material to prevent separation and peeling of the lower layer and upper layer, or to maintain the strength of the earth wall body and to reinforce it. It becomes a brute force for joining to the structure.

成形された土壁成形体を乾燥する事の乾燥は60cm×1,800cm厚み6cmの土壁成形体が約5時間から8時間の人工乾燥が好ましい。乾燥された土壁成形体は構造物にはめる、付ける、貼る、敷く或いは積む等の方法で使用する事が出来る。  Drying by drying the molded earth wall molded body is preferably artificial drying for about 5 to 8 hours for a 60 cm × 1,800 cm 6 cm thick earth wall molded body. The dried earth wall molded body can be used by a method such as fitting, attaching, pasting, laying or stacking to a structure.

土壁成形体は構造物にはめる、付ける、貼る、敷く或いは積む等の建材として使うだけでなく自然の素材を焼成することなく乾燥工程で成形する事なので自然界と調和と共生を得る作品として五感で感じられる芸術、美術的、アートとしても成りうる。例えば土のタペストリー、土の家具、土のベット、土の花器等。  The earth wall molding is not only used as a building material to fit, attach, paste, lay or pile on the structure, but also as a work to obtain harmony and symbiosis with the natural world because it is molded by a drying process without firing natural materials. Art, artistic and art that can be felt in For example, soil tapestry, soil furniture, soil bed, soil vase, etc.
