Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to a light-transmissible construction material and a method for manufacturing the same; particularly, the present invention relates to a material for constructing a light-transmissible or semi-light-transmissible structure and a method for manufacturing the same.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Concrete plays a very important role for modern architecture structures in recent years. And its adjustable gravity and other multiple applications make it highly practicable for various construction designs and requirements.
- However, most architects and engineers are more concerned about the use of concrete material on the structure design rather than the exterior design work. Even some architects and interior designers give concrete material higher value for its simple and plain characteristic recently, and apply it to the exterior design of the architecture, the main concerns are still focused on the traditional character of concrete material though.
- In the field of architecture and interior design work, the use of light is very important. However, the traditional concrete, brick, wood and other construction material are mostly opaque in property. In order to satisfy the demand for the special effect resulted from light source, some architectures and interior designers would adopt the glass bricks to build a transparent structure, such as the transparent wall structure. But the architectonic sense of the glass brick structure is totally different from the one provided by the concrete material.
- In addition, concrete material often becomes a load-bearing structure independently or joined with the steel frame structure to provide such supporting forces. Furthermore, as a result of the opaque character of concrete material, it is not easy to discover the internal structure fracture from the surface when the structure is affected by the external force.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a light-transmissible construction material to construct a light-transmissible or semi-light-transmissible structure. It is another object of the present invention to provide a light-transmissible construction material, capable of transmitting light and remaining the characteristic of the concrete material. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a light-transmissible construction material, increasing the variety of architecture design. It is yet another object of the invention to provide a light-transmissible construction material, having the function of measuring the internal fracture. It is still another object of the invention to provide a method for effectively manufacturing a light-transmissible construction material. It is the other object of the invention to provide a construction structure system, having the function of measuring the internal fracture.
- The light-transmissible construction material of the present invention comprises at least a light-transmissible unit and concrete unit. The light-transmitting unit has a light entrance end, a light exit end, and a lateral wall between both ends. The lateral wall of the light-transmitting unit is enclosed and surrounded with the concrete unit. The concrete structure also positions the light-transmissible unit and provides the structure strength as a whole. The light entrance and exit end of the light-transmitting unit are exposed from two opposite surfaces of the concrete unit.
- By disposing the light-transmissible unit, light fully or partially penetrates, refracts and reflects through one side of the construction material to the other side. The present invention also provides a method for manufacturing the above light-transmissible construction material. At the beginning, placing at least one light-transmitting unit between two side formworks; then filling the concrete grout between above two side formworks; and drying the concrete grout to form the light-transmissible construction material. In the preferred embodiment, the dried construction material could be cut into different shapes and sizes to fulfill the needs for different designs and construction requirements.
- The construction structure system of the present invention comprises a light-transmissible unit, frame unit and concrete unit. The light-transmitting unit has a light entrance end and a light exit end. After entering the light entrance end, the light is able to exit fully or partially from the light exit end. There is a middle part between the light entrance and exit end. The middle part of the light-transmitting unit is connected to the frame unit and thus attached to the frame unit. In the preferred embodiment, the middle part is connected to the frame unit by a binding device. The concrete unit encloses at least a part of the frame unit and the middle part of light-transmitting unit. The concrete unit is joined with frame unit to provide the structure strength as a whole. The light entrance and exit end of the light-transmitting unit are exposed from two surfaces of the concrete unit.
- Because of the light-transmissible characteristic of the light-transmitting unit, the light entering the light entrance end may be received at the light exit end when the light-transmitting unit is continuous. When the frame unit or concrete unit has a fracture or other form of damages, the light-transmitting unit also breaks or produces the fracture accordingly. At the mean time, the inner part of the light-transmitting unit produces discontinuousness and unable to receive the light at light exit end. Therefore, this light-transmissible characteristic could be adopted to observe the internal fracture of construction structure or other forms of damages.

The light-transmissible characteristic mentioned here refers to the phenomenon of light penetrating, refracting and reflecting fully or partially through the construction material of the present invention. A preferred embodiment of the present invention is making a light-transmissible concrete brick to build a structure. However, in the other embodiments, the construction material of the present invention could also be adopted to construct a platy, columnar or other shaped of construction material. In addition, the concrete material of the present invention could also be applied to measure an inner structure damage.

After entering thelight entrance end 210, the light fully or partially exits from thelight exit end 230 as the physical phenomenon of light penetration, refraction and reflection in the light-transmittingunit 200. The light-transmittingunit 200 has alateral wall 250 between thelight entrance end 210 and thelight exit end 230. In this preferred embodiment, thelateral wall 250 is in a round tubule shape to provide a better light-transmitting result. However, in another embodiment, the shape of thelateral wall 250 could be quadrate tubule, platy or in other forms as well. - As shown in Figure lb, the light-transmitting
units 200 are preferably placed parallel to each other. However, in another embodiment, the light-transmittingunits 200 could also be crossingly disposed and the light-transmittingunits 200 may be bent freely according to different needs without affecting the light transmission. For example, in the embodiment shown inFIG. 1 c, the light-transmittingunits 200 are disposed in vertical and horizontal direction, thus the light in different directions can be directed. Besides, the preferred embodiment of the placement of the light-transmittingunit 200 is disposed as matrix as the cross-section drawing shown inFIG. 2 . - The
concrete unit 300 covers thelateral wall 250 of the light-transmittingunit 200. Theconcrete unit 300 also positions the light-transmittingunit 200 and provides necessary structure strength. It needs to be noticed that theconcrete unit 300 merely covers thelateral wall 250 of the light-transmittingunit 200 without covering thelight entrance end 210 andlight exit end 230. Namely, thelight entrance end 210 and thelight exit end 230 are exposed from two ends ofconcrete unit 300. In the preferred embodiment, thelight entrance end 210 and thelight exit end 230 are exposed from two opposite surfaces of theconcrete unit 300. However in other form of embodiment, thelight entrance end 210 and thelight exit end 230 could be exposed from two adjacent surfaces of theconcrete unit 300 as well. - The preferred embodiment of the
concrete unit 300 is opaque, i.e., the light is not allowed to pass theconcrete unit 300. The characteristic could increase the light reflection effect within the light-transmittingunit 200 to raise the efficiency of the light transmission. In addition, theconcrete unit 300 is made of concrete or grout containing light weight aggregate. The gravity of the concrete or grout is preferably smaller than the gravity of the light-transmittingunit 200 to prevent the light-transmittingunit 200 from floating during the process of filling the concrete grout. However, in another embodiment, the gravity of the concrete or grout could also be larger than the gravity of the light-transmittingunit 200. In this embodiment, it may be necessary to position the light-transmittingunit 200 in advance or adopt a sequent concrete grout filling process to prevent the light-transmittingunit 200 from floating during the process of filling the concrete grout. - Because of the light-transmissible characteristic of the light-transmitting
unit 200, the light entering thelight entrance end 210 may be received at thelight exit end 230 when the light-transmittingunit 200 is continuous, and thus producing the visual effect of light-transmissible, semi-light-transmissible or partially light-transmissible of the construction material of the present invention. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 3 , thelight entrance end 210 may also extend to alight source 100. The light generated by thelight source 100 enters thelight entrance end 210 of the light-transmittingunit 200 then exits to an internal space formed by the construction material throughlight exit end 230. The characteristic could provide the practice of interior lighting design or other ambient lighting design. The preferred embodiment of the light source is the light in nature including sunshine. However in another embodiment, thelight source 100 may be a spot light or other lighting device. - Besides, when the construction material of the present invention has a fracture or other form of damage as a result of an external force, the light-transmitting
unit 200 also breaks or produces the fracture accordingly. In the mean time, the internal of the light-transmittingunit 200 becomes discontinuous and affects the light-transmissible characteristic. Therefore, when the light received at the light exit end 230 changes or terminates, it is considered that the interior structure of the construction material has a fracture or other form of damages. -
FIG. 4 shows a flow chart of an exemplary method for manufacturing the light-transmissible construction material. As shown inFIG. 4 ,step 401 includes placing at least a light-transmittingunit 200 between the twoside formworks 510. As the embodiment shown inFIG. 5 , the formwork for manufacturing the construction material comprises aside formwork 510, abottom formwork 530 and alateral formwork 550. As shown inFIG. 5 , a plurality of light conductive fibers are parallelly disposed between the twoformworks 510. - Then fill the concrete grout between the two
formworks 510 instep 403 and dry the concrete grout to produce the construction material instep 405. As shown inFIG. 6 , the produced construction material may be cut into different shapes and sizes to satisfy the demands for different designs and construction requirements. - The other function flow diagram shown in
FIG. 7 is another exemplary manufacturing method of the construction material of the present invention. In this embodiment, the above-mentionedstep 401 further includesstep 4011, juxtaposing the twoside formworks 510. As shown inFIG. 7 a, eachside formwork 510 has ahole 511 which is opposite to the other hole located on theother side formwork 510. When bothside formworks 510 juxtaposes, the correspondingholes 511 onopposite side formworks 510 are aligned. -
Step 4013 includes passing the light-transmittingunit 200 throughcorresponding holes 511 of the twoside formworks 510. In other words, as shown inFIG. 7 a, both ends of the light-transmittingunit 200 are located outside the outer walls of the twoside formworks 510. -
Step 4015 includes outwardly separating the twoside formworks 510. As shown inFIG. 7 b, in the preferred embodiment, the twoside formworks 510 are separated to opposite sides of thebottom formwork 530. In this preferred embodiment, it also includes forming afastening device 270 on the light-transmittingunit 200 to position the light-transmittingunit 200. Thefastening device 270 is placed at the outer wall of theside formwork 510 and engages thehole 511 to prevent the light-transmittingunit 200 from inwardly sliding. Thefastening device 270 may be formed by tying one end of the light-transmittingunit 200 or by setting a screw, a clam or a sleeve. However, in another embodiment, as shown inFIG. 7 c, exerting an outward pulling force F on two corresponding ends of the light-transmittingunit 200 may provide a tension to position the light-transmittingunit 200 -
FIG. 8 a,FIG. 8 b andFIG. 8 c show another embodiment of the manufacturing method of the present invention. In this embodiment, eachside formwork 510 has anexternal wall 513 and aninternal wall 515. There are correspondingholes 511 on theexternal wall 513 and theinternal wall 515. After moving the side formworks 510 to both sides of thebottom formwork 530, as shown inFIG. 8 b andFIG. 8 c, then parallelly changes a relative position between the external and internal plate to fix the position the light-transmittingunit 200. As a result of the displacement between theexternal plate 513 and theinternal plate 515, the skeweredholes 511 move relative to each other to bend and clip the light-transmittingunit 200 to fix the position. -
FIG. 9 a andFIG. 9 b show another embodiment of the manufacturing method of the present invention. In this embodiment, the light-transmittingunits 200 are disposed tier-by-tier and the concrete grout is filled sequently. After drying the concrete grout, as shown inFIG. 9 b, cut off both ends of the construction material to expose thelight entrance end 210 andlight exit end 230. - The present invention further provides a construction structure system. In the embodiment as shown in
FIG. 1O a, the construction structure system of the present invention comprises a light-transmittingunit 200, aframe unit 600 and aconcrete unit 300. In the preferred embodiment, the light-transmittingunit 200 includes light conductive fibers. In another embodiment, however, the light-transmittingunit 200 may include a light conductive membrane or other elements capable of transmitting light. - As shown in
FIG. 1O a, the light-transmittingunit 200 has alight entrance end 210 and alight exit end 230, which are the two opposite ends of the light conductive fibers in this embodiment. After entering thelight entrance end 210, the light fully or partially exits fromlight exit end 230 through the physical phenomenon of light penetration, refraction and reflection of the light-transmittingunit 200. There is amiddle part 290 between thelight entrance end 210 and thelight exit end 230 of the light-transmittingunit 200 - The
middle part 290 of the light-transmittingunit 200 is connected to theframe unit 600, i.e., themiddle part 290 is attached on theframe unit 600. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 1O a, the frame unit includes a steel bar. In another embodiment, however, as shown inFIG. 10 b, theframe unit 600 includes asteel joint 610. In the embodiment shown asFIG. 10 c, thesteel joint 610 of theframe unit 600 is formed from asteel connecting tube 630. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 1O a,FIG. 1O b andFIG. 1O c, themiddle part 290 of thelight transmitting unit 200 is connected to theframe unit 600 by afastening device 700. The preferred embodiment of thefastening device 700 includes a steel wire. In another embodiment, however, thebinding device 700 may include a plastic binding belt or other device capable of positioning. - The
concrete unit 300 encloses at least a part of theframe unit 600 and themiddle part 290 of the light-transmittingunit 200. Theconcrete unit 300 positions the light-transmittingunit 200 and theframe unit 600 simultaneously and joins theframe unit 600 to provide the structure strength as a whole. What worth noticed is that theconcrete unit 300 only covers themiddle part 290 of the light-transmittingunit 200 without covering thelight entrance end 210 and thelight exit end 230. That is, thelight entrance end 210 and thelight exit end 230 are respectively exposed outside theconcrete unit 300. In the preferred embodiment, thelight entrance end 210 and thelight exit end 230 are respectively exposed from the same surface of theconcrete unit 300. However, in another embodiment, thelight entrance end 210 and thelight exit end 230 may be exposed from different surfaces of theconcrete unit 300 as well. - As a result of the light-transmissible characteristic of the light-transmitting
unit 200, while the light-transmittingunit 200 is continuous, the light entering thelight entrance end 210 may be received at thelight exit end 230. When the construction structure system is affected by an external force and thus produces a fracture or other form of damages inframe unit 600 orconcrete unit 300, the light-transmittingunit 200 becomes broken or fractured accordingly. Owing to the internal discontinuousness of the light-transmittingunit 200, the property of transmitting the light is also changed. Therefore, while it is unable to receive the light at thelight exit end 230, or the light received at light exit end 230 changes, it deems that the internal of the construction structure system has fractures or other damages. In addition, when the inside of the construction structure system disposes a plurality of light-transmittingunits 200 in different places or different frame units, it is able to determine the position of internal damage by observing the light at the light exit ends 230 of each light-transmittingunit 200. - Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described herein, the above description is merely illustrative. Further modification of the invention herein disclosed will occur to those skilled in the respective arts and all such modifications are deemed to be within the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
