Description

A method for forming gypsum structural elements by using thermoinsulating inserts, and a mold for manufacturing structural elements
This invention relates to a method for forming gypsum structural elements by using thermoinsulating inserts to be used in the building industry, especially in housing. This invention relates also to a mold for manufacturing structural elements, especially gypsum structural elements having thermoinsulating inserts.
It is known to produce gypsum structural elements for erecting outer walls and roof constructions by casting them in molds having inserts being components of said molds, and making it possible to define rooms inside said structural elements. While erecting walls comprised of structural elements of this kind said rooms are filled with materials having the heat insulating power greater than in a case of gyp¬ sum, especially with sawdust, granulated foamed polystyrene, gas foamed gypsum, and other similar materials. An essential problem when realizing such a technique consists in that repeatedly used inserts have to be precisely cleaned and smeared after casting every single structural element.
Another solution is the system known as "THERMODOM", according to which elements made of foamed polystyrene are used as a cladding on a ferrocon- crete construction. This system needs the expensive protection for a faςade and for an outside plaster. As well the inner as the outer surface of any wall made in this system is very sensitive to mechanical strokes of inconsiderable power, and any actions in order to hang even light household means on a wall made by this tech¬ nique are extremely troublesome. There are known devices for forming concrete, slag, and saw dust concrete structural elements having inner hollows shaped by rigid inserts disassembled be¬ fore dismounting a moid, provided with mechanisms for consolidating a raw mate- rial supplied into the form. Similar devices are used for forming gypsum structural elements by filling with gypsum slurry watertight molds provided as well with all kinds of dismountable inner inserts that copy outer and inner shapes of those ele¬ ments. Side walls of the boxes of those molds have rigid, hinge connections with a mold basis, located near the lower edges of the sides, and rigid, mechanical or hy¬ draulic locks at upper parts of those molds.
The characteristic feature of the gypsum slurry setting process is its volume increase, what results in occurring great forces deforming the rigid mold structure. Another feature of forming gypsum elements is the necessity of using reusable in- serts, the cross-section of which decreases in direction from a mold basis, and which are designed for forming inner shapes of hollows in those elements, generally pro¬ vided for filling them with insulating materials while erecting walls.
Even especially reinforced and in result of it expensive molds are perma¬ nently deformed gradually and after a very short operation time, what exerts an essential influence on the significant scatter of dimensions of particular gypsum structural elements, on deteriorating the tightness of molds, as well as on difficulties in disassembling inserts of those molds converging to their bases.
It is an object of this invention to provide a method for manufacturing struc¬ tural elements which thanks to their low costs are usable for erecting walls by sim- plest assembling techniques, especially outer walls of apartment houses and any other public utility objects having the heat permeability factor ko<0,2W/m2K, whereas said walls satisfactorily and sufficiently meet the mechanical strength re¬ quirements.
It is also an object of this invention to provide a structure of a mold for manufacturing structural elements, especially gypsum elements with thermoinsulat¬ ing inserts, that ensures the permanent repeatability of overall dimensions of pro¬ duced structural elements, and at the same time eliminates destructive strains in mold components, multiplies the working life of a mold, its servicing facility, and maintainability, and additionally multiplies the single mold productivity.
This object has been achieved by putting together in a structural element gypsum with thermoinsulating material shaped as an insert lost during production, that means while manufacturing said structural element.
According to the invention a method for manufacturing gypsum structural elements comprises filling with gypsum slurry a mold, a component of which before filling is a thermoinsulating fill shaped as an insert defining a component of a gyp¬ sum structural element after gypsum slurry setting process (at least initial setting) is finished, whereas one uses a one- or multi-part insert having any selected outer shapes, advantageously provided with openings.
Said at least initial setting should be understood as such an advancement of the setting process, that a shaped gypsum structural element can be removed from its mold without disturbing its structure, especially without possibilities to disturb the connection between material defining said insert and gypsum surrounding par¬ tially or entirely said insert.
It has became unexpectedly evident that by using an insert of such a material gypsum structural elements are achieved in easier and simpler way, being simulta¬ neously filled with thermoinsulating material, and moreover cleaning and smearing inserts of molds in each cycle of manufacturing said structural elements have been eliminated.
Also unexpectedly a possibility has been obtained to produce structural ele¬ ments having shapes unachievable by using known techniques, or obtained only by methods unusually troublesome in realization and/or requiring substantial costs. A solution according to the invention, while allowing to eliminate inner com¬ ponents of a mold for casting gypsum structural elements, makes it possible to sub- stantially decrease costs needed for manufacturing and maintaining molds, espe¬ cially to reduce costs connected with cleaning and smearing inner parts of molds.
In comparison with other techniques for manufacturing gypsum structural elements a method according to the present invention makes it possible to obtain structural elements for erecting outer walls which do not require using additional means and techniques for protecting said walls from the cold, generally going to¬ gether with wet processes increasing the time for realization of such objects.
By using disposable lost thermoinsulating inserts according to the present invention the application of repeatedly used inserts, made of metal, plastic and so on, as components of molds has been eliminated. Moreover, said thermoinsulating inserts used as a filling in a gypsum structural element, obtained by a method ac¬ cording to the present invention, eliminate entirely a need to protect monolithic walls made of them from the cold. It decreases substantially the labor consumption while manufacturing gypsum structural elements and while erecting walls of them. A thermoinsulating insert inside a warm gypsum wall is the simplest and cheapest way to achieve outer walls and floors having the excellent heat and sound insulating power at sufficient mechanical strength of the faςade of the building, protected only by means of a hydrophobic paint designed for the outside, and by other paints inside after floating wall surfaces with gypsum putty without a need to plaster inner and outer surfaces.
A mold for manufacturing structural elements, especially gypsum ones hav¬ ing thermoinsulating inserts, that is formed as a multichamber box comprised of a basis, two side walls, hinged in relation to longer basis edges, two headwalls, as well as inner partitions dividing said mold into individual chambers, in addition pro- vided with locking and positioning means, is characterized according to the inven¬ tion by that inner surfaces of side walls are lined with plane-parallel flexible and compressible separator on which abut dismountable rigid lining tiles determining distances between particular inner partitions and headwalls, whereas an inner basis surface is lined with replaceable, plane-parallel and incompressible liner made of a material not adhering to gypsum slurry.
A separator, advantageously made of rubber, is at its parts extending beyond headwalls pressed against side walls by means of stops permanently connected to said side walls, on which headwalls are supported.
Brackets are fastened to an outer lower surface of a basis. Ends of said brackets extending beyond the basis have hinges provided with elastic articulated joints having carrier arms extending from them and connected permanently to side walls.
In end parts of side walls there are located retaining sockets having a pull rod removable in them, and slidable in a abutment link, one of the ends of this pull rod is provided with an elastic head connected to one of the side walls, and at an¬ other of its ends there is located a self-locking and articulated separable locking mechanism engaged with another of side walls.
Between said abutment link and an outwardly directed surface of a headwall there is placed a washer, advantageously a flexible one.
It has became unexpectedly evident that a) by using thermoinsulating inserts made of flexible material, e.g. inserts of foamed polystyrene, as elements lost during forming phase, but being flexible elements of a mold before filling, b) by using flexible separators together with liner tiles as an inner lining of the side walls of the mold, as well as c) by taking advantage of elasticity of retaining and locking means of the mold the permanent repeatability of dimensions of gypsum structural ele¬ ments having precision, orthogonality, and outer surface quality of these elements in each forming cycle not occurring till now. essentially not depending on the opera¬ tion time of a particular mold or a group of identical molds. A design of a mold according to the present invention enables to eliminate technical difficulties while forming gypsum structural elements, to lower the pro¬ duction costs, and to increase productivity when manufacturing said elements, as well as to substantially decrease costs of erecting gypsum-concrete walls comprised of these elements.
The invention will be described in details thereunder in its embodiments shown in the drawing in which fig. 1 and 2 represent axonometric views of two inserts made of thermoinsulating material, fig. 3 represents the axonometric view of two gypsum structural elements shaped by using inserts shown in fig. 1 and 2, and then put together as corner elements in an erected building wall, fig. 4 and fig. 5 represent axonometric views of the third embodiment of an insert of thermoinsulat¬ ing material and respectively a gypsum structural element defined by using said insert, fig. 6 and 7 represent respectively axonometric views of the fourth embodi¬ ment of an insert of thermoinsulating material as well as a gypsum structural ele- ment defined by using said insert, fig. 8 represents a front view of a gypsum struc¬ tural element designed to be used as a floor element, fig. 9 represents an axonomet¬ ric view of a mold partially cut out in its hinged side wall, and fig. 10 represents a top view of the same mold.
In fig. 1 and fig. 2 there are shown inserts 1 and 2 made of thermoinsulating material and being inserts of a mold to be filled with gypsum slurry. Before filling the mold these thermoinsulating inserts are positioned and optionally fixed in their needed position in the mold box, and then spaces determined by inner surfaces of this mold box as well as outer surfaces of the insert 1 or the insert 2 are filled with gypsum slurry. On ending the initial setting process of the gypsum slurry a gypsum structural element comprising the insert of an thermoinsulating material sur¬ rounded with gypsum is removed as a whole from the mold. The thermoinsulating insert shown in fig. 1 is shaped substantially as a rec¬ tangular prism having four recesses la parallel one to another and located at cor¬ ners, as well as two through gap openings 3 located along the longitudinal axis X.
The second thermoinsulating insert 2 shown in fig. 2 comprises an asymmet- rically situated channel 7 having a rectangular section with a horizontal plane, as well as a through opening 8 crossed with a groove 8' extending in a horizontal plane laying in the symmetry axis Y.
Two gypsum structural elements A and B of different shapes defined by us¬ ing the thermoinsulating inserts 1 and 2 are set together in the exemplary wall cor- ner system as shown in fig. 3. It should be noted that the structural element A has in areas of the recesses la in the insert 1 links 4 being elements connecting outer layers 5 and 6 of one wall. The same function of connecting outer layers 9 and 10 of the second wall has a gypsum link defined in the through opening 8 in the insert 2 be¬ longing to the structural element B. It should be noted too that while manufacturing the structural element B the channel 7 in the insert 2 is not filled with gypsum slurry because that channel is designed to guard the vertical constructional corner column
11 made for example of a steel profile. A room defined by that channel 7 may be filled with any insulating material not before erecting walls of an object.
In fig. 4 there is shown the thermoinsulating insert 12 having recesses 13 at both opposite shorter sides and a groove 14 at one of its longer sides. The insert 12 is preformed in the structural element C, shown in fig. 5, in such a way that it is surrounded with two adjacent outer layers 16 parallel one to another, and con¬ nected together with links 17 formed in the result of filling recesses 13 in the insert
12 with gypsum slurry. In fig. 6 and 7 there is shown a further embodiment of the thermoinsulating insert 18 having recesses 20 in both corners of its shorter side and a projection 19 on its face near its line of intersection with the second shorter side. As is shown in fig. 6 the insert 18 is preformed in the gypsum structural element D so that it adheres to and is integrally connected with two outer layers 21 and 22 combined by means of links 4 defined in said two recesses 20 of the insert 18, and by means of the opposite side layer 23, whereas in the outer layer 22 there is preformed said projection 19 of the insert.
In fig. 8 there is shown the gypsum structural element F, being a floor ele¬ ment having two channels 24 delimited by lost profile inserts 25, which in this case are also made of a thermoinsulating material and define a component of a mold before filling it with gypsum slurry. Gypsum structural elements with a thermoinsulating insert, that is for ex¬ ample shown in fig. 4, are formed in the following way. The thermoinsulating insert 12 is placed in the mold box in the position shown in fig. 4, that means in the posi¬ tion where its longer side having the groove 14 is directed upwards. Then, after closing the mold, the formerly prepared gypsum slurry is poured into the space between the insert and the side walls of the mold. After initial setting of the slurry, usually after 15 minutes, the mold is opened, and the finished structural element C (fig. 5) is removed, two outer layers 16 of which are connected together by means of links 17 located in the recesses 13 of the insert 12.
As it is shown in fig. 9 and 10, a mold 30 is made as a multichamber box comprising in its lower part a basis 31, two side walls 32 hinged on rotation axes Z extending parallel to longer basis edges 31, two headwalls 33, as well as inner parti¬ tions 34 dividing the mold into individual chambers K. The headwalls 33 are re¬ tained in their position exactly perpendicular to the surface of the basis 31 by means of stops 35 permanently fastened to inner surfaces of the side walls 32 at their end parts.
The inner partitions 34 are located in channels determined between vertical edges of dismountable liner tiles 36 made advantageously of epoxide glass, what results in obtaining perfectly smooth surfaces of the structural elements being formed, whereas gypsum slurry adheres to said surfaces.
Particular chambers K of the mold 30 to be filled with gypsum slurry are de¬ termined by two opposite located liner tiles 36, by adjacent pairs of inner partitions 34 or by an inner partition 34 and an adjacent headwall 33, as well as by thermoin¬ sulating inserts lost while casting and by removable inserts 38 set in chambers K in selected positions.
The basis 31 and the side walls 32 are formed from rigid plates made as a space structure with inner ribs shown in a partial cut out view in fig. 1, having precisely plane-parallel inner surfaces, whereas the upper surface of the basis 31 is lined with a plane-parallel, incompressible, removable liner 39 having a smooth surface not adhering to gypsum slurry, e.g. made of PVC, while inner surfaces of the side walls 32 are covered with plane-parallel flexible and compressible separator 40 made of rubber or another similar raw material, pressed near shorter edges against the side walls 32 by means of stops 35, and by means of liner tiles 36.
The brackets 41 are fastened to the lower surface of the basis 31. At the ends of these brackets 41 extending beyond the basis there are hinges enabling the side walls 32 to be rotated on the rotation axes Z parallel to the longer edges of the basis
31. Said hinges are provided with elastic articulated joints 42 with carrier arms 43 extending of them, said side wails 32 being permanently fastened to said arms.
In retaining sockets 44 located in the upper part of the shorter edges of the side walls 32 there are located tube pull rods 45 made of a steel profile having a rectangular cross-section, said pull rods being slid into the tube abutment link 46, made also of a length of a steel profile of rectangular cross-section, somewhat greater than the cross-section of a profile of the pull rods 45, and slidable connected with said abutment link 46. Said abutment link 46 together with the pull rods 45 forms an element ensur¬ ing obtaining a repeatable distance between the inner surfaces of the side walls 32. The pull rods 45 at one ends of the abutment link 46 are engaged as separable ele¬ ments with one of the side walls 32 by means of heads with spring washers 47, while pull rods 45 at other ends of the abutment link 46 are connected with the self- locking articulated locking mechanisms 48, e.g. eccentric ones. Additionally, the abutment link 46 is formed as a supporting element for the flexible washer 49 lo¬ cated between said link and the outer surface of each of the headwalls 33.
In a mold designed as described above and prepared to be filled with gypsum slurry, after filling it with a formerly prepared gypsum slurry the setting process occurs during which the already initially set slurry swells. This swelling is accom¬ panied with increasing dimensions of gypsum elements filling chambers K of the mold. Forces caused by changes of dimensions of an initially formed structural element are essentially not transferred onto the main structural elements of a mold, and first of all they are not transferred onto the side walls 32 of the mold but are compensated in a material of the separators 40, said material being compressible.
In a case the thickness of the separators 40 or the compressibility of a mate¬ rial used for these separators is not enough to transfer forces caused by swelling material of the formed element, the excessive forces can be compensated by sets of heads with spring washers 47. The arrangement of those structural elements of a moid is so designed that while a material used for a formed element swells, the main components of a mold, that means the basis 31, side walls 32 and headwalls 33 are displaced without any change of the parallelism of the working surfaces of said components.
