Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a construction element allowing, for example, the construction of a wall or a vertical panel.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a construction element that is easy and quick to assemble and does not require mortar.
  • the invention provides a construction element comprising:
  • an upper end of the block is adapted to engage the upper opening of the cavity and is adapted to engage the lower opening of the cavity.
  • the upper end of the block when two frames are superimposed so that the cavities are aligned, the upper end of the block may be engaged in the cavity of the upper frame while the lower end of the block may be engaged in the cavity of the lower frame.
  • the block itself serves as a means for fixing and aligning between the construction element and a second identical construction element. It is therefore not necessary to put mortar between two superimposed construction elements.
  • the two frames can be considered to be fitted tightly onto the block.
  • the block can be moved in the frame gives flexibility on the relative position of the block with respect to the frame. In addition, it allows each block to be pushed into the frame as far as possible during transport, in order to reduce the transport volume and the block to be at least partially protected by the frame during transport and on the construction site before construction.
  • the block remains locked in the cavity by lateral mechanical compression when it is not subjected to pressure in the first direction, but it moves relative to the frame when it is subjected to external pressure in the first direction.
  • the block is designed to be inserted snugly into the cavity.
  • the first direction is preferably a vertical direction.
  • the block can for example be made of a compressible material or have a surface structure allowing this movement under pressure and blocking in the absence of pressure.
  • the block is such that the action of a force causes it to slide in the cavity, but if it is not subjected to forces other than gravity it is immovably wedged in the cavity.
  • human force is sufficient to make the block slide into the frame.
  • an “external pressure” is sufficient pressure to move the block in the cavity.
  • the force corresponding to the external pressure is greater than the force of gravity, so that the block remains immobilized by the frame when it is subjected only to the action of gravity.
  • the external pressure is preferably a pressure in the first direction.
  • the construction element is arranged to weigh less than 20 kg, more preferably less than 15 kg.
  • a prototype of a 300 mm ⁇ 300 mm ⁇ 300 mm construction element in which the frame is made of OSB and the expanded polystyrene block is about 4 kg.
  • the frame is preferably an object formed of a plurality of flat panels parallel to the first direction, so as to delimit the cavity in any direction perpendicular to the first direction.
  • each panel can be formed of a plate.
  • the frame is preferably devoid of grooves on its outer surface.
  • the cavity is designed to allow the block to slide from its lower end to its upper end.
  • the frame can be between 100 and 800 mm high, preferably about 300 mm.
  • the frame can be between 100 and 800 mm deep, preferably about 300 mm.
  • the frame can be between 100 and 800 mm wide, preferably about 300 mm.
  • the panels of the frame are for example between 10 and 30 mm thick, preferably about 18 mm.
  • the frame can for example be cubic.
  • One function of the frame is to provide the outer panels of the wall. It also allows the permanent fixing of several construction elements together to form modules that can be removed from each other. A wall can thus be constructed by placing modules offset from each other, for example staggered.
  • the frame is preferably made of a heat-insulating material.
  • the upper opening of the cavity is located on an upper end of the frame and the lower opening of the cavity is located on a lower end of the frame.
  • the upper opening of the cavity is the same as the lower opening of the cavity.
  • the block is preferably a solid and filled object.
  • the block is preferably formed in a homogeneous and isotropic material.
  • the block is thermally insulating.
  • the block can be made of or comprise expanded polystyrene, graphitized expanded polystyrene, or polyurethane foam.
  • the block may for example be made of one or more materials having a Young's modulus greater than 1.0 GPa, preferably between 2.0 and 4.0 GPa, more preferably between 2.5 and 3.5 GPa.
  • the block is rigid enough to block the frame when partially engaged in the cavity of the frame.
  • the block is preferably made of a flame-resistant material.
  • the block preferably extends between all the lateral panels of the frame so as to be in contact with them.
  • the block is preferably such that it extends between all the lateral panels of the two frames, so as to be in contact with them.
  • the height of the block is equal to the height of the frame.
  • the block extends laterally between several parts of surfaces forming a triangle, rectangle or square.
  • These surface parts preferably comprise a flat part intended to contact the inner surface of the cavity and a recessed part to form a chamfer at the upper end of the block.
  • the block may be between 100 and 800 mm high, preferably about 300 mm.
  • the block can be 100 to 800 mm deep, preferably about 263 mm.
  • the block can be between 100 and 800 mm wide, preferably about 263 mm.
  • the width of the block is preferably equal to its depth.
  • One function of the block is to form the male part of the arrangement by interlocking while the frames form female parts. Another function of the block is to provide excellent thermal and sound insulation.
  • the cavity and the block are such that the block can enter the cavity through its lower opening and exit through its upper opening.
  • the difference, taken in absolute value, between at least one lateral extent of the cavity and a corresponding lateral extent of the block measured when the block is outside the cavity is less than 3 mm, preferably less than 2 mm, more preferably less than 1 mm.
  • the lateral extent of the block may be less than, greater than, or equal to the lateral extent of the cavity, but the difference between these two extents is preferably less than 3 mm, 2 mm, or 1 mm.
  • the block is intended to be inserted in a particularly tight fit in the cavity.
  • a “lateral extent” of an element can be, for example, its length, width, depth.

  • the absolute value of the difference between the lateral extent of the block and the corresponding lateral extent of the cavity is preferably less than 1% of the lateral extent of the block, more preferably less than 0.5% of the lateral extent of the block.
  • the block may be sufficiently compressible laterally so that its lateral extent decreases when it is at least partially engaged in the cavity.
  • the difference, in absolute value, between the width of the cavity and the width of the block measured when the block is outside the cavity is less than 3 mm, preferably less than 2 mm, more preferably less than 1 mm and/or the difference, in absolute value, between the depth of the cavity and the depth of the block measured when the block is outside the cavity is less than 3 mm, preferably less than 2 mm, more preferably less than 1 mm.
  • the upper end of the block is chamfered and/or corners of the upper end of the block are rounded.
  • This chamfer makes it possible to reduce the width and/or the depth of the block at its upper end so that the block can be easily introduced into the cavity through the lower opening of the frame, in particular if the lateral dimension of the block outside the cavity is close to the corresponding lateral dimension of the cavity.
  • the chamfer can be about 1 cm.
  • the frame comprises lateral panels delimiting the cavity laterally, and the block is intended to be in mechanical contact with all the lateral panels of the frame when it is blocked, at least partially, in the cavity.

  • the frame can also be made of a polymer.
  • the frame does not comprise concrete.
  • concrete panels should be much thicker than wood and/or polymer panels, which would make the construction element heavy.
