Definitions
- This invention relates to an improved bricklaying apparatus.
- a quantity of premixed mortar is trowelled on a previously laid course of bricks, and an end of each brick is buttered with mortar and positioned on the previous course adjacent the last laid brick.
- bricklaying is in fact a highly skilled operation and bricklayers are generally highly skilled tradesmen who are paid commensurately with their skill.
- Australian Patent No 645521 discloses a machine for depositing dry mortar on top of a previously laid brick course and which also applies a mortar setting liquid, typically water, to the dry mortar in specific amounts by way of a fine spray.
- Cavity brick walls are formed from two spaced apart brick courses. The spacing or cavity is to prevent transmission of moisture from the outside to the inside of the building.
- a good quality cavity brick wall for a building such as a house will have mortar joints that are continuously smooth and tidy in appearance on its outer facing side which forms the outside of the building. Also the cavity will contain a minimum amount of mortar, so as to minimise the extent of migration of moisture across the cavity.

- FIG. 1 the machine 10 includes an upright carriage 15 running on wheels 14.
- a motor and drive system schematically illustrated at 16 is provided to drive the wheels and move the carriage 15.
- the carriage carries a computer control means, symbolically illustrated at 19, and other components described below.
- the carriage is driven along a concrete slab on which a course of brickwork is to be laid.
- the carriage shown is guided on a predetermined path by a laser guide beam 17 laid adjacent the path.
- the carriage may be guided by any appropriate means including one or more of the following; guide rails, a preprogrammed path, guide wires or markers, a laser guidance system, inertial control, GPS control, a local positioning system based on spatial orientation from one or more fixed markers, and the like.
- the carriage 15 extends upwardly and generally perpendicularly from the wheels 14 along a vertical axis.
- a support arm 18 extends away from the carriage in an orientation generally normal to the vertical axis of the carriage.
- a motor 13 is provided for moving the arm up and down with respect to the carriage.
- a part-conical hopper 22, is carried on a frame 23, located at the remote end of the support arm 18.
- the hopper feeds a delivery tube 24 which in turn connects to an outlet box 26 described in more detail below.
- the outlet box 26 has an open bottom spaced above the bricks 28a of a course of bricks 28 by a distance corresponding to the intended depth of a layer of dry mortar mix to be deposited thereon. This distance is ideally between 6 mm to around 10 mm, and most typically around 8 mm.
- the bottom opening of the outlet 26 is slightly narrower than the width of the brick 28a so as to prevent mortar from spilling over the sides of the brick course and accumulating in the wall cavity.
- these components are referred to collectively as the "mortar head” 29.
- a mechanical feed which is not shown in the drawings, feeds dry mortar to the hopper 22.
- the arm 18 may be raised on the carriage to account for the height of the brick layer being mortared, using the motor 13. Typically the height of the arm will be adjusted so that the outlet box is from 6 to
- a motor 20 is located at one end of the arm 18 for moving the arm in and out along a horizontal axis, thereby selectively to displace the mortar head 29 towards and away from the carriage 15.
- One or more accelerometers 21 may be located on the carriage and/or the arm, to feed movement information to the control means 19.
- the controller causes the motor 20 to move the arm and mortar head 29, so as to compensate and to ensure that the mortar head 29 remains a conectly positioned over the course of bricks 28.
- the wheels also include selectively operable clamps or brakes (not shown), adapted to be actuated by the controller when the carriage is stationary, so as to anchor the structure securely and enhance its rigidity when placing the mortar.
- the arm 18 carries mortar head 29 on frame 23.
- the mortar head 29 can be moved along the length of the frame 23 by means of motor 25. It will be appreciated that this movement of the head is necessary for forming corners.
- Fig. 4 A shows a twin headed version of the machine 10 including two mortar heads 29 and 29a mounted on frames 23 and 23a respectively. Again, each head is moveable along frame 23 and 23a so that the machine can form corners.
- Figs. 2 and 3 illustrate an aligning mechanism 50 of the machine 10 in more detail. Note that for clarity, the mechanism 50 has been omitted from Figure 1.
- the aligning mechanism comprises two opposed sets 52 and 54 of four "in line” rollers or wheels 56 mounted on generally vertical axles depending from two horizontally oriented bars 58, 60 respectively, such that each set of rollers may turn about a corresponding generally vertical axis.
- the axes, Vi and V 2 about which the rollers turn, may be vertical, upwardly convergent, or upwardly divergent as shown in Figure 2.
- the rollers may be made of any suitable low friction material such as acetyl or polyurethane.
- the bars 58 and 60 are located at the lower ends of two rods 60 and 62 respectively, which are supported for rotation about respective pivots 64 and 66. .
- Two pneumatic cylinders 68 and 70 and associated bellows type linkages 72 tend to pivot the rods 60 and 62 about their respective pivots and thereby tend to move the rollers 52 and 54 towards each other as the air in the cylinders 68 and 70 expands. This expands the linkages 72 and rotates the rods 60 and 62 about their respective pivots 64 and 66, thereby applying a biasing force to any bricks contacting the associated rollers.
- contraction of the cylinders 68 and 70 causes contraction in the length of the link mechanism.
- air cylinders have been used in this embodiment, because they provide instant and variable control over the biasing force, it is conceivable that many other types of biasing arrangements may be used, including but not limited to hydraulic cylinders, mechanical actuators, springs, electromagnetic solenoids, and the like.
- the left and right side linkages are independent so that the position of one set of rollers 54 can be changed without affecting the position of the other set 52.
- This allows either set of rollers to be fixed to provide a stop or guide means to govern where the outer edge of the bricks in the brick course will be located.
- a fixed stop means 71 prevents the rollers 54 from moving towards the brickwork beyond a predetermined limit.
- the other set of rollers 52 is biased inwardly by the pneumatic cylinder 68.
- the inside or cavity side face of each brick is urged by the "moveable" set of rollers 52, towards the "fixed” set of rollers 54 which define the location for the outside face of the brick course, thereby progressively straightening each course in the wall.
- the relative displacement between the "fixed" rollers 54 and the apparatus is critically important to the final position of the wall. Referring to Fig.2, in order to prevent the bricks being pushed too far by rollers 52, the rollers 54, in addition to being prevented from inward movement by the stop means, may be locked in position. This effectively ensures that the rollers 54 are not deflected outwardly under normal operating conditions.
- Locking of the rollers 54 may be accomplished by any number of means including another stop means. However, because it is preferable that the rollers 54 are not permanently fixed, so that they can be moved out of the way when aligning the machine during initial setting up phases, they are effectively locked by running disproportionate pressures in the cylinders 68 and 70. That is, by maintaining a pressure in cylinder 70 beyond that in cylinder 68.
- FIGS 5 and 6 show the mortar head. Spray heads, numbered 1 to 8 can be seen positioned around the outlet 26.
- spray heads both pre-wet the bricks and moisten the mortar, including both the mortar that is layered on the tops of the bricks and also the mortar which is inserted between the vertical ends of the bricks to form the respective perpend joints. While the operation of the sprays is largely similar to that described in Australian Patent No 645521, there are some differences.
- sprays 1, 2 and 3 pre-wet the brick before the dry mortar is applied. Pre-wetting the bricks provides an effective means of controlling the flow of mortar.
- the dry mortar is particularly hydrophilic and will draw fluid from the wet brick.
- the flow properties of the mortar alter rapidly with increasing dampness. The dry mortar will readily flow whereas the damp or wet mortar becomes "sticky" and less likely to flow.
- the spray nozzle 1 which can be seen in figures 5 and 6, is centrally mounted in front of the outlet box 26 and controlled to operate periodically, more or less as the pe ⁇ end joint passes beneath. That is, it is designed only to wet the ends of bricks B ⁇ and B within the pe ⁇ end joint.
- the spray may be a conical or flat spray so as to wet a central vertical strip, slightly on the face side and about 5-6mm in width on the end of the brick.
- Sprays 2 and 3 are edge sprays. These sprays pre-wet the longitudinal edges of the bricks and the vertical edges of the pe ⁇ end joints, particularly on the face side which helps prevent the flow of dry mortar mix over those edges. They are flat sprays, spraying in a flat arc of 90 degrees, aligned longitudinally and have an equivalent orifice diameter of 0.66 mm. They operate at a water pressure of 200 to 500 kPa, and typically around 400 kPa. These sprays typically operate continuously.
- FIG 10 shows bricks B ⁇ and B as if they had been pre-wet, but before mortar has been applied.
- the shaded zones la, 2a and 3a represent the areas pre-wet by sprays 1, 2 and 3 respectively while the hatched sides are the cavity sides of the bricks.
- the spray nozzles 1, 2 and 3 are all on the same transverse line.
- Sprays 4 and 5 are pe ⁇ end joint sprays which wet the dry mortar mix which forms the pe ⁇ end joint between two adjacent bricks Bl and B2 in a course. These spray heads are configured for reciprocating motion.
- the controller 19 controls the timing and speed of the joint sprays to accord with the speed of travel of the mortar head so that the joint sprays remain substantially stationary at each pe ⁇ end joint for a predetermined period or with enough time to complete a cycle.
- the sprays 4 and 5 are mounted on rods 4a and 5 a respectively. This arrangement enables translational movement of the spray heads up the pe ⁇ end joint as mortar is deposited into the joint, and subsequent downwards movement after spraying of each pe ⁇ end joint is completed, as is described in Australian Patent No 645521.
- Each spray defines two rows of five 0.18 mm diameter jets of water spaced 3-5 mm apart in both directions (i.e. each spray defines 10 outlets in total).
- the water pressure applied to the jets is around 600 -700 kPa.
- these sprays operate as the mortar head 29 passes over the gap between two bricks Bl and B2 to form the pe ⁇ end joint.
- the falling dry mix flows down into the pe ⁇ end joint and then rolls sideways to the outside edges of the joint.
- the sprays 2 and 3 penetrate the oncoming dry-mix to a depth of around 10-15 mm and, together with the dry-mix that has stuck to the pre-wetted edges of the pe ⁇ end joint, produce a congealed mixture which ultimately forms a bonded mortar joint between adjacent bricks.
- the rise rate of the jet sprays is timed to match the natural rise rate of the filling dry-mix.
- the precise number, size, shape and water pressure used in all the sprays may be varied or optimised to suit particular brick compositions, mortar formulations, machine speeds and other operating conditions without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the pe ⁇ end joint sprays may include more or less than the 10 holes disclosed here, as appropriate.
- Sprays 6, 7 and 8 are course wetting jets and are arranged above the upper surfaces of the bricks B, these are flat sprays having orifices with equivalent diameters of 2 mm and spraying in arcs of 80 degrees. They operate at a water pressure of around 150 kPa.
- the outlet box is positioned at the base of the mortar dispensing system which includes the hopper 22, the tube 24 and the outlet box 26.
- the tube 24 includes a 4 mm diameter outlet for injecting compressed air at a pressure of around 0.3 kPa into the mortar mix.
- the compressed air aids in fluidizing the dry mortar mix to improve its flow characteristics.
- More compressed air outlets may be placed within the feed line to the outlet box to further aid in flow of the mortar, as required.
- the outlet box itself includes two 4 mm diameter outlets 80 and 82 located at the back and front respectively.
- the front 84 of the outlet box is a continuation of the tube 22.
- the rear 86 of the box extends away from the tube and the outlet box 26 is enlarged relative to the cross-section of the tube 24.
- the box is about 2/3 the length of a brick and about half the width.
- the box has no floor, being entirely open.
- the side wall 94 of the main body of the outlet box as shown in Figure 9, includes an upper upright portion 94a and a lower sloping portion 94b which, in use, tends to direct dry mortar away from the cavity side 96.
- the other side wall 95 is planar.
- the rear end of the outlet box is rectangular and acts as a plough to level the mortar. As seen in figures 7 and 11 A, there is a cut-out 88 in one side wall 94 of the box adjacent the base and rear 86 of the box.
- the cut-out portion has the effect in use of delivering dry mortar to the edge of the brick B which forms the visible outer face 90 of the cavity wall, which results in a raised pile of mortar 92 shown in Figure 8.
- a sliding door 88a actuated by air cylinder 88b closes the cut-out portion as it passes over the pe ⁇ end joint. This limits the amount of mortar flowing into the joint on the cavity side and therefore reduces spillage into the cavity.
- a smaller cut-out 89 is located in side wall 95 opposite the larger cut-out 88. This smaller cut-out also includes a sliding door 89a.
- the door 89a is also actuated by an air cylinder which is not shown in the drawings.
- the door 89a on the face side is programmed to open only as the cut out 89 passes over the joint. This allows more mortar to enter to joint on the face side. It is apparent that the door 88 is configured for horizontal sliding whereas the door 89 is configured for vertical movement. This, along with the exact size and shape of the cut-out and door, as well as the timing of the opening, may be varied depending on the flow characteristics of the mortar.
- the machine 10 travels along a pre-placed layer of bricks at a set speed in the direction D as shown in Fig. 7.
- the rollers 52 and 54 push against the bricks and straighten any which are out of alignment, with the intended course being set by the laser guide 17. As shown in Fig.
- the mortar head applies and moistens the dry mortar after the bricks have been straightened.
- Dry mortar mix having a composition as described in Australian Patent No 645521 is continuously fed by gravity from the hopper 22 through the tube and to the outlet box.
- the sprays operate to wet the mortar as and when it lands on the tops of the bricks and in the pe ⁇ end joints in the manner described in Australian Patent No 645521.
- the result is a continuous even build up of wet mortar on the outer (face) side of the bricks which can be smoothed and finished either mechanically or by hand.
- the configuration of the outlet box and the pre-wetting of the bricks are designed to direct the mortar toward the face side rather than the cavity side of the joint.
- a well- formed joint will have the cavity side half of the joint substantially free of mortar with good filling on the face side.
- the upper surface of the bricks will be covered with an even level layer of mortar, and on the cavity side, no mortar dry or wet should fall off.
- a mortar laying machine 10 such as that described above and a brick placing apparatus, following the machine 10 will travel around the inside of a structure being built, building up successive courses of brickwork, with each course of bricks being placed on top of a bed of mortar soon after the mortar is laid.
- the brick-placing machine will also be equipped with an aligning mechanism of the type described to ensure that the bricks are placed accurately.
- the aligning mechanism also functions to maintain alignment between the mortar laying apparatus and the intended course work line.
- the aligning mechanism operates as a vibration damper or auxiliary support for the entire machine 10 by exerting a damping force through the aligning means onto the wall. The same is also true for the brick placing apparatus.
- the mass of the bricks and the high viscosity of the wet mortar provide a support to transmit these damping forces.
- the control system monitors the position of the rollers and mortar heads and adjusts the air pressure in the cylinders 68 and 70 of the aligning mechanism and/or moves the entire mortar head 29 by motors 20 and 25 to compensate. Should a perceptible displacement occur, the locating rollers will quickly be restored to their correct position by the control system. To this end, the clamping pressure of the rollers should be just sufficient to straighten the bricks resting on the fresh mortar.
- the clamping force of the rollers is carefully controlled and is preferably about 3Kg force but will ultimately depend on the green strength of the mortar. Alternatively, separate mechanisms for brick straightening and damping may be used.
- a dedicated brick-straightening device could be employed to precede the machine 10. This would free rollers, 52 and 54 in machine 10, to function exclusively as a vibration damper to aid in preventing excessive movement of the mortar-laying device or the brick placing device. Further, in the case where there is more than one course of bricks laid, rollers 52 and 54 may engage a lower course of bricks. This would allow a greater amount of force to be transmitted to the brick course for damping. Alternatively, the machine may include one pair of rollers to straighten the bricks and another longer pair to provide damping control. Thus the pressure exerted by the dampening device would be over a larger area or at least be applied to more bricks.
- the invention is intended to encompass aligning devices that may be used in conjunction with mechanised brick placing or mortar laying equipment to provide vibration damping.
- a single apparatus could provide two mortar laying heads side by side, or staggered side by side mortar laying heads, one for the inside brick course and one for the exterior brick course, for simultaneous laying of both courses.
- the inside and outside courses could simply be laid sequentially by two different machines 10, or a single machine 10.
- a single machine could lay bricks and mortar for both courses simultaneously.
