Description
A BUILDING BLOCK COMPONENT FOR CREATING A MODULAR
BUILDING BLOCK
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a building block component for construction. More particularly, the present invention relates to a building block component for creating a modular building block.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A building block, or known as a brick, is a fundamental part or element that serves as the base for a more sophisticated structure. They were first developed in the 19th century as a more durable and affordable alternative to traditional bricks, and today they are used in a wide range of construction projects, from residential homes to commercial buildings. Building blocks are often formed of materials like brick or concrete and used in construction to create the structure of a building. Besides, the blocks are usually made from a mixture of cement, sand, and aggregate by pouring into a mold and allowed to cure. Hence, the resulting blocks are strong and durable, and they can be easily cut and shaped to fit a variety of applications.
However, a plurality of steel wire structures have to be installed prior to laying the building blocks, allowing better use of brick masonry’s inherent compressive strength, which means there is a need to consider an extra height for the steel wire or metal rod structures since the conventional building blocks do not provide a side opening that allows the building block to be assembled at any level without the need of lifting the block all the way up, which consequently increases the difficulty of constructing the building and potential risks of injury. Besides, conventional building blocks have relatively weaker thermal insulation and can allow heat to escape from a building.
CN108756047A introduced a sandwich interlocking brick that comprises several positive V-shaped brick arms and brick bodies, wherein the pair of sandwich interlocking bricks bite each other at the middle waist of the other brick body and the middle part of the other brick body to form an interconnection and stress. Each brick has three equal-length interlocking arms, and there could be equal-length interlocking arms with four or five arms, or even up to N arms, and the connection can be female to female, male to male, or male to female, etc. CN205242801U disclosed a kind of interlocking corrugated rib concrete hollow block with a vertical hole. When using nested concrete hollow blocks, the wall body can be quickly and effectively put together without the need for mortar bonding. The block body, vertical bottom-surface masonry blocks, and vertical top-surface masonry blocks are also used. It operates rapidly and conveniently and can build walls as quickly as stacked wood, doubling building productivity. To achieve the purpose of sand-free brickwork, the convex and concave corrugated ribs can be dependably combined to form a chain and restrict their horizontal and vertical displacement.
CN101372852A disclosed a buckle-type interlocking hollow building block, wherein the block further comprises a hollow building block body and blind holes formed on the hollow building block body. When constructing a wall, the first lock block on one piece of building block can buckle into the second blind hole on another piece of building block, and the second lock block on one piece of building block can buckle into the first blind hole on another piece of building block, realising that the levels of reciprocal interlocking form the pin key.
The prior arts cited above do not explicitly disclose having a similar configuration as the present invention, such as a main panel with a plurality of spaced divider panels that protrude substantially normally from the main panel at intervals along its length, with the divider panels extending from one edge of the main panel towards but stopping
short of the opposite edge of the main panel, allowing it to be assembled in any direction without limitations.
The present invention aims to provide solutions to address limitations of existing building block component for creating modular building block including those mentioned above.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
In one aspect of the present invention, a building block component for creating a modular building is provided. The building block comprises a main panel from which a plurality of spaced divider panels protrudes substantially normally from the main panel at intervals along its length, in which the divider panels extend from one edge of the main panel towards but stopping short of the opposite edge of the main panel; wherein the modular building block is created from a pair of such building block components which when brought together in a juxtaposed face to face relationship, a plurality of divider panels of one main panel of the pair are brought into a stacked mating relationship with its complementary divider panels of another main panel whereby the modular building block created has hollow spaces between the main panels and between each of the mated divider panels.
In a preferred embodiment, the divider panel has mating surface which extends at an angle with respect to the plane of its main panel.
Preferably, the divider panels have external surfaces that are substantially parallel to the main panel.
It is preferred that the divider panels are slanted at an angle between 30° and 60°.
Furthermore, there is provided a modular building block for use in construction that includes a pair of building block components, each comprising a main panel from which a plurality of spaced divider panels protrudes substantially normally from the main panel at intervals along its length, in which the divider panels extend from one edge of the main panel towards but stopping short of the opposite edge of the main panel; wherein in which the modular building block is created from the pair of such building block components which when brought together in a juxtaposed face to face relationship, a plurality of divider panels of one main panel of the pair are brought into a stacked mating relationship with its complementary divider panels of another main panel whereby the modular building block created has hollow spaces between the main panels and between each of the mated divider panels.
In addition, it is preferred that each pair of mated divider panels at least at the ends of the main panels are of substantially the same height as each of the main panels.
In particular, it is preferred that the hollow spaces are configured for receiving a reinforcing means to reinforce the structure of the building block.
Preferably, the main panel has a groove formed around periphery of its surface.
According to the preferred embodiment, the modular building block further comprises a fastening means to connect the modular building block with another adjacent modular building block to form a building block assembly.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for assembling a building block assembly with modular building blocks comprises the steps of mating a pair of building block components, each comprising a main panel from which a plurality of spaced divider panels protrudes substantially normally from the main panel at intervals along its length, in which the divider panels extend from one
edge of the main panel towards but stopping short of the opposite edge of the main panel; wherein the modular building block is created from a pair of such building block components which when brought together in a juxtaposed face to face relationship, a plurality of divider panels of one main panel of the pair are brought into a stacked mating relationship with its complementary divider panels of another main panel whereby the modular building block created has hollow spaces between the main panels and between each of the mated divider panels.
In particular, the method further comprises the step of connecting the modular building with another modular building block with a reinforcing means to form the building block assembly.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a building block for creating a modular building block. It simplifies the process of construction as the building block can be mated to its complementary main panel in any direction with ease. With the hollow spaces provided along the spaced divider panels, concrete can be poured into the hollow interior to provide strength and durability to the building block. Besides, the modular feature of the building block requires fewer labourers to construct buildings using the present invention than the traditional bricklaying method, and allows customization in establishing a building block assembly of a desired structure and configuration that is formed by more than one building blocks. In addition, the present invention has a relatively low density due to its interlocking feature, which provides a cooler interior and is less heat-intensive. Since it requires less material to construct, it is more environmentally friendly as compared to conventional building blocks.
One skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is well adapted to carry out the objects and obtain the ends and advantages mentioned, as well as those inherent therein. The embodiment described herein is not intended as limitations on the scope of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the invention shall be described according to the preferred embodiments of the present invention and by referring to the accompanying description and drawings. However, it is to be understood that limiting the description to the preferred
embodiments of the invention is merely to facilitate discussion of the present invention and it is envisioned that those skilled in the art may devise various modifications without departing from the scope of the appended claim.
With reference to Figures 1 and 2, disclosed herein is a building block component (100) for creating a modular building block (300) that comprises a main panel (101). In particular, the main panel (101) comprises a plurality of spaced divider panels (200) that protrude substantially normally from the main panel (101) at intervals along its length. However, it is to be understood that the building block component can be a brick, a concrete block, a glass block, a masonry block, a precast concrete panel, or any form of component that can be used to construct a variety of structures and systems including a wall and any forms of a divider that separates two spaces. Furthermore, the divider panel (200) has a mating surface (201) that extends at an angle with respect to the plane of its main panel (101), that is, slanted at an angle between 30° and 60°, preferably at 45°. Besides, the divider panels (200) have external surfaces that are substantially parallel to the main panel (101). The present invention employs an interlocking hollow brick system (H4BS), which eliminates or reduces the need for mortar, thereby emphasising bonding in construction rules. "Bonding" can be defined as the brick arrangement in an interlocking design. Nevertheless, the thickness of the main panel (101) and the divider panels (200) can be varied according to the application. Besides, the shape of the main panel (101) can be in any form as long as it permits stacking when a pair of building block components (101) are assembled to form the modular building block (not shown in the figure) and connected to another modular building block (not shown in the figure). The modular building block (not shown in the figure) can be formed when a pair of such building block components (101) are brought together in a juxtaposed face to face relationship, and a plurality of divider panels (200) of one main panel (101) of the pair are brought into a stacked mating relationship with the complementary divider panels (200) of another main panel (101). The divider panels (200) are designed in such a way that the building block components (100) can be fitted
together to ensure the structure is stable and secure. Furthermore, the divider panels (200) extend from one edge of the main panel (101) to the opposite edge of the main panel (101) but stop short of the opposite edge of the main panel (101), as seen in Figure 2. With the presence of the divider panels (200), a plurality of hollow spaces (not shown in the figure) are created between the main panels (101) and between each of the mated divider panels (200).
With reference to Figures 3 and 4, there is provided a modular building block (300) for use in construction that comprises a pair of building block components (100), which can be observed in Figure 1, each comprising a main panel (101) from which a plurality of spaced divider panels (200) protrudes substantially normally from the main panel (101) at its intervals along its length, in which the divider panels (200) extend from one edge of the main panel (101) towards but stopping short of the opposite edge of the main panel (101). As such, the modular building block (300) can be created from the pair of such building block components (101) that, when brought together in a juxtaposed face to face relationship, bring a plurality of divider panels (200) of one main panel (101) of the pair into a stacked mating relationship with its complementary divider panels (200) of another main panel (101), whereby the modular building block (300) that is created has hollow spaces (301) between the main panels (101) and between each of the mated divider panels (200).
Each pair of mated divider panels (200) of the building block components (300) is, at least at the ends of the main panels (101), substantially the same height as each of the main panels (101). Such a configuration allows the mated divider panels (200), which eventually becomes the modular building block (300), to stack on top of another modular building block (300), thereby enhancing the stability of the modular building block (300), so that the stress of the overall structure can be distributed evenly across the modular building block (300). In addition, the main panel (101) has a finished surface (102 A) that comprises a groove (102B) formed around the periphery of its
surface (102A). In particular, the groove (102B) can be utilised to accommodate a fastening means to connect the modular building block (300) with another adjacent modular building block (300) to form a building block assembly (not shown in the figure). The fastening means can be clips, wire mesh cloth, also known as plain weave wire mesh, mortar, concrete, adhesive, or any form of fastening means that is capable of connecting the modular building blocks (300) together.
After the modular building block is formed by assembling a pair of building block components, a plurality of compartments with substantially even dimensions are formed as shown in Figure 4. The hollow spaces (301) within the compartments are configured to receive a reinforcing means to reinforce the structure of the building block. In particular, the reinforcing means can be steel bars, mortars including Type N mortar, Type S mortar, and Type M mortar, dense cement mortar, or any type of reinforcing means that is able to reinforce the structure of the building block. The reinforcing means is necessary to increase the overall strength and stability of the structure, it is especially important for buildings and other structures that will be subjected to heavy loads or extreme weather conditions. Besides, it provides additional support to the structure, allowing it to withstand lateral forces more effectively. In addition, insulation materials such as fiberglass, rockwool, polystyrene, polyurethane, mineral wool, cellulose, and foam board can be inserted into the hollow spaces to improve thermal performance of the structure.
Hereinafter, a method for assembling a building block assembly (400) with modular building blocks (300) shall be described according to the preferred embodiments of the present invention. In a preferred embodiment, the method for assembling a building block assembly (400) comprises the steps of mating a pair of building block components (300), each comprising a main panel (101) from which a plurality of spaced divider panels (200) protrudes substantially normally from the main panel (101) at intervals along its length, in which the divider panels (200) extend from one edge of the
main panel (101) towards but stopping short of the opposite edge of the main panel (101); wherein the modular building block (300) is created from a pair of such building block components (100) which when brought together in a juxtaposed face to face relationship, a plurality of divider panels (200) of one main panel (101) of the pair are brought into a stacked mating relationship with its complementary divider panels (200) of another main panel (101) whereby the modular building block (300) created has hollow spaces (301) between the main panels (101) and between each of the mated divider panels (200). The hollow spaces (301) are the internal of compartments formed by the main panels (101) and divider panels (200)
Referring to Figure 5, at least two modular building blocks (not shown in the figure) can be assembled, whether it is side by side or one atop another, to form the building block assembly (400) by mating a pair of building block components (not shown in the figure) for each of the modular building blocks (not shown in the figure). Each of the building block components (not shown in the figure) comprises a main panel (not shown in the figure), from which a plurality of spaced divider panels (not shown in the figure) protrude substantially normally at intervals along its length, in which the divider panels (not shown in the figure) extend from one edge of the main panel (not shown in the figure) towards but stopping short of the opposite edge of the main panel (not shown in the figure). With the pair of building block components (not shown in the figure) mated together, the modular building block (not shown in the figure) can be created when brought together in the juxtaposed face to face relationship. A plurality of divider panels (not shown in the figure) of one main panel (not shown in the figure) of the pair are brought into a stacked mating relationship with the complementary divider panels (not shown in the figure) of another main panel (not shown in the figure). The modular building blocks (not shown in the figure) can be arranged and connected in place with a reinforcing means such as mortar. Once the reinforcing means is ready, the modular building blocks (not shown in the figure) can be laid by hand in a pattern, with each modular building block (not shown in the figure) carefully positioned and pressed into
the reinforcing means. The main panel (not shown in the figure) has a groove (not shown in the figure) formed around the periphery of its surface, such that when the modular building block (not shown in the figure) is connected to its adjacent modular building block (not shown in the figure), a larger groove is formed between said modular building blocks (not shown in the figure) so that the groove can accommodate fastening means. It is to be understood that the fastening means includes clips, wire mesh cloth, also known as plain weave wire mesh, mortar, concrete, adhesive, or any other form of fastening means that is capable of connecting the modular building blocks (not shown in the figure) together, thus forming the building block assembly (400). In addition, the hollow spaces (not shown in the figure) within the modular building block (not shown in the figure) can now receive the reinforcing means to enhance the stability and durability of the structure, and preferably the reinforcing means include any form of mortar. Upon finishing the building block assembly (not shown in the figure), the reinforcing means are allowed to dry prior to finishing the surface. Finally, the wall is finished with a masonry tool like a trowel to smooth the joints caused by the reinforcing means and create a finished look.
The present disclosure includes as contained in the appended claims, as well as that of the foregoing description. Although this invention has been described in its preferred form with a degree of particularly, it is understood that the present disclosure of the preferred form has been made only by way of example and that numerous changes in the details of construction and the combination and arrangements of parts may be resorted to without departing from the scope of the invention.
