[0001] The objective of the present invention is to provide a multilayer building block
conceived as a primary element for construction of the building walls.
[0002] There are known the building blocks, for example in shape of rectangular hollow bricks
with air gaps within their volume, or solid small blocks featuring an improved insulating
power or containing the inserts made of insulating materials. The air gaps in such
building blocks or insulating elements are arranged most often inside the block in
the parallel rows or layers.
[0003] It is known by way of example a block for construction of the buildings disclosed
in
US Patent Application no. 2008/0184650, wherein it comprises the body formed of the inorganic material, having a rectangular
shape, containing the non-linear heat tracks in the body material running crosswise
the block and at least two cavities to accommodate the insulation material and reinforcing
rod.
[0004] It is known an embodiment shown in the
US Patent description no. 7739845, wherein an insulated rectangular structural block comprises the first segment made
of cement material, containing an internal hole of the block core and is connected
with the second cement segment by means of the insulating insert having a shape of
serpentine. The insulating insert is provided with the projections matching the projections
in the segments and is equipped with the grooves enabling the condensation and seepage
of water to the outlet from the block.
[0005] Another solution known from the
US Patent description no. 9435118 relates to the system of blocks used for construction of the walls comprising many
of rectangular structural blocks, whereby each block contains an internal rectangular
vertical rib. The block contains also a middle section placed between the lateral
walls in relation to their abutment. Furthermore, the middle section has one or two
diagonally arranged rectangular vertical passages crossing the middle section at an
angle of about 30° to 45°, advantageously at an angle of 38°. The middle section contains
also one of three vertically extending recesses corresponding to the vertical ribs
on each side. The central part and the pair of lateral walls comprises up to four
rectangular vertical passages for the utility pipes and/or electrical conductors.
[0006] From the European Patent description
EP 0209993 it is known then a heat insulating masonry block, composed of at least two structural
blocks between which is placed at least one board made of insulating material, whereby
the blocks are interconnected by means of at least one strip. The structural blocks
and the insulating board are provided with at least one transition cavity to let the
connecting strip through. The heat insulating masonry block has the recesses for the
strips prepared in the insulating board and in the blocks. The board itself is carried
out of one integral unit, and in one of possible modifications is composed of more
layers, each layer indicating the same or different insulating properties.
[0007] The presented types of building blocks do not solve completely the problems of thermal
insulation, prevention of carrying away of moisture from the block elements, as well
as easy and fast assembly thereof in form of the walls.
[0008] To avoid the shortcomings of the hitherto existing solutions a building block in
accordance with the present invention has been worked out. The subject of this invention
relates to the building block in form of rectangular prism comprising several layers,
comprising the insulating layers and structural elements within ist volume.
[0009] The essence of the invention consists in that the building block shaped like a rectangular
prism is composed of several layers and includes the insulating and structural elements
placed within its volume and is characterized by that the first layer in form of flat
rectangular prism constitutes a layer of cellular concrete and the second layer in
form of flat rectangular prism is a layer of thermal insulation. The third layer in
form of flat rectangular prism constitutes a layer of cellular concrete whereas the
fourth layer shaped like a flat rectangular prism is a layer of thermal insulation
with a metallic load-bearing structure placed inside it. The metallic load-bearing
structure is composed of at least two vertical elements connected by means of at least
one transverse element, whereby the vertical elements are provided with internal gaps
enabling the screw joint between the blocks. The fifth layer shaped like a flat rectangular
prism is a layer of cellular concrete equipped with the installation guides in form
of a framework.
[0010] The third, fourth and fifth layer are offset advantageously upwards and to one side
in relation to the remaining block layers, and through all layers protrude at least
two horizontally arranged structural elements fastening the block as a whole unit.
The insulating layers of the building block have grooves which prevent formation and
persisting of moisture. The building block is provided with the chamfers enabling
injection of the insulating compound.
[0011] The first and sixth layer is provided with the skew edges for accommodation of the
external and internal sealing joints. The insulating layers can be arranged in different
configurations, can be of different thickness and can be made of different insulating
materials. The installation guides in form of framework constitute simultaneously
a skeleton which makes possible screwing of the inner wall panels.
[0012] The first layer of the building block constitutes at the same time an external finish
thanks to the application advantageously of acrylic paint or tiles. The third, fourth
and fifth layer are offset in relation to the remaining block layers by 2 % to 40
%.
[0013] The building block in accordance with the invention in its embodiment consists of
at least two layers, whereby the first layer shaped like a flat rectangular prism
is a layer of cellular concrete and the second layer, also in form of flat rectangular
prism, makes a layer of thermal insulation composed of three sublayers. Inside the
first sublayer there is a metallic load-bearing structure, the second sublayer constitutes
the heat insulation, and the third sublayer is provided with installation guides in
form of a framework. The first and second sublayer is offset partially upwards and
to one side in relation to the remaining block layers, and through all layers protrude
at least two horizontally arranged structural elements fastening the block as a whole
unit.
[0014] The subject of invention in an example of its embodiment is shown on the drawing,
where FIG. 1 presents the building block in an axonometric projection when viewed
from the first layer side, FIG. 2 - a building block in axonometric projection when
viewed from the last layer side, FIG. 3 - a top view of the building block, FIG. 4

[0015] The multilayer building block in accordance with the invention has a shape of rectangular
prism including the insulating and structural elements placed within is volume. Each
layer of the block has the same shape. The first layer 1 of the block constitutes
a layer of cellular concrete, the second layer 2 is a layer of thermal insulation,
the third layer
3 is a layer of cellular concrete and the fourth layer 4 is a layer of thermal insulation.
Within the fourth layer 4 is placed a metallic load-bearing structure 5. The fifth
layer
6 is advantageously a layer of cellular concrete, and the sixth layer 7 is also a layer
of cellular concrete provided with the installation guides 8 in form of a framework.
The third 3, fourth 4 and fifth layer 6 are offset upwards and to one side in relation
to the remaining block layers, and through all layers protrude at least two horizontally
arranged structural elements 9 fastening the block as a whole unit.
[0016] The insulating layers
2 and 4 comprise the grooves 10 preventing the formation and persisting of moisture.
[0017] The building block is provided with the chamfers 14 enabling injection of the insulating
compound.
[0018] The first 1 and the last layer 7 of the block is provided with the skew edges
15 for accommodation of external and internal sealing joints.
[0019] The insulating layers 2 and 4 can be applied in different configurations, can be
of different thickness and can be made of different insulating materials. The third
3, the fourth 4 and the fifth layer 6 of the block are offset upwards and to one side
in relation to the remaining layers by 2 % to 40 %.
[0020] The first layer 1 is at the same time an external finish of the block in consideration
of its smooth surface or thanks to advantageous application of paints, for example
acrylic paint, or tiles. The installation guides 8 in form of framework allow to place
therein the electrical conductors or heating installations and simultaneously make
a skeleton used for fastening of the wallboards.
[0021] The metallic load-bearing structure
5 consists then of at least two vertical elements
11 connected by means of at least one transverse element
12, whereby the vertical elements
11 are provided with the internal gaps
13 for advantageous screw joint of blocks. The blocks screwed together by means of the
bolts
18 are shown in the drawings FIG. 8 and FIG. 9.
[0022] The building block in accordance with the invention in its embodiment is composed
of at least two layers, whereby the first layer
16 shaped like a flat rectangular prism is advantageously a layer of cellular concrete
and the second layer
17 shaped like a flat rectangular prism is a layer of thermal insulation comprising
three sublayers. Within the first sublayer
17a is placed the metallic load-bearing structure
5, the second sublayer
17b makes an insulation and the third sublayer
17c is provided with the installation guides
8 in form of a framework. The first sublayer
17a and the second sublayer
17b is partially offset advantageously upwards and to one side in relation to the remaining
block layers, and through all layers protrude at least two horizontally arranged structural
elements
9 fastening the block as a whole unit.
[0023] The building block according to the invention has numerous advantages in relation
to the similar blocks known from the prior art. It is characterized by very good insulation
properties and at the same time a simple design of the insulating layers and load-bearing
structure being easy for execution and fastening during erection work, what results
in relatively low manufacturing costs of the building block according to the invention.
Furthermore, the block in accordance with the invention has a very smooth end face
which does not require any external work. The blocks according to the invention are
very simple in assembly and relatively lightweight and additionally do not require
heavy construction equipment during erection. Moreover, thanks to their design, these
blocks ensure that between the adjacent units, creating for example a wall, a good
thermal insulation is maintained in assembled condition.
[0024] The building block in accordance with the invention can be used to erect the one-storeyed
and many-storeyed buildings, both dwelling-houses and industrial buildings, and in
its modification to erect the light building structures, for example umbrella roofs
or garages.
