[0001] The present invention relates to an automated AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) block manufacturing device that enables a user to efficiently produce construction blocks with minimal manual intervention by regulating the process flow in an automated manner, thereby ensuring uniformity in production while optimizing resource utilization

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The construction industry relies on the production of high-quality building materials to ensure structural integrity and durability. One such material is construction blocks, which are widely used in various architectural and infrastructural projects. However, the conventional methods of manufacturing these blocks involve extensive manual labor, resulting in inconsistencies in quality, inefficient resource utilization, and increased production time. Additionally, the lack of automation in traditional manufacturing processes leads to high material wastage and inconsistent product dimensions, thereby affecting the overall reliability of the final product.

[0003] In large-scale construction projects, the demand for high-quality construction blocks is continuous and requires a highly efficient production process. However, the dependency on manual labor and traditional equipment limits the scalability of production, making it difficult to meet large orders within a short period. Furthermore, factors such as improper mixing of raw materials, inaccurate curing conditions, and lack of precision in shaping the blocks contribute to defects, thereby increasing rejection rates and production costs.

[0004] CN101581131B discloses a non-autoclaved aerated concrete block, which contains ordinary Portland cement, fly ash, ground quicklime powder, desulfurized gypsum and foaming agent, and the formula also includes: triethanolamine and sodium sulphate , Naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensate. The invention also discloses a method for manufacturing the autoclaved-free aerated concrete block. The beneficial technical effect of the present invention is: adopt the early strength-water-reducing combination of triethanolamine, sodium sulphate, naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensate, greatly improve the early strength development rate of aerated concrete, and improve the later strength development of aerated concrete Bring benefits; adopt the autoclave-free process, make full use of the heat released by cement hydration and quicklime digestion, and perform atmospheric pressure and damp heat curing on the blocks, which significantly reduces the cost of maintenance equipment and production energy consumption, and improves the safety of production.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] The following description includes the preferred best mode of one embodiment of the present invention. It will be clear from this description of the invention that the invention is not limited to these illustrated embodiments but that the invention also includes a variety of modifications and embodiments thereto. Therefore, the present description should be seen as illustrative and not limiting.

[0021] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.

[0022] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0023] The present invention relates to an automated AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) block manufacturing device that is accessed by a user for producing construction blocks in an optimized manner while regulating critical processing parameters in real-time, wherein the device also enables controlled curing and shaping of the blocks to ensure uniform strength and durability, thereby enhancing the overall quality of the manufactured product.

[0024] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of an automated AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) block manufacturing device is illustrated, comprising a housing 101 configured with a multi-sectioned container 102, a first chamber 103 is arranged underneath the container 102, a touch interactive display panel 104 installed on the housing 101, a first motorized iris unit 105 integrated with a bottom section of the containers 102, a motorized mixing mechanism 106 integrated with the first chamber 103, a second iris unit 107 integrated with a bottom portion of the first chamber 103, a second chamber 108 arranged underneath the first chamber 103, a multi-sectioned box 109 installed inside the second chamber 108, a first electronic valve 110 integrated with each of the section, a blending unit 111 integrated with the second chamber 108, a second electronic valve 112 arranged beneath the second chamber 108, a mould 113 provided on panel 114 arranged on a bottom portion of the housing 101, utilizes electromagnets 115 to secure the parts together, a robotic arm 116 is provided inside the housing 101, an IR (Infrared) radiation generator 117 positioned above the platform 118, a motorized slider 119 attached to a laser cutter 120 along a vertical bar 121 over the platform 118, a coloring section 122 is integrated into the platform 118, each section 122 is equipped with an electronic nozzle 123, a hydraulic piston 124 mounted on an inverted U-shaped pole 125 and an opening 126 is crafted on front portion of the housing 101 and a speaker 127 installed with the housing 101.

[0025] The device disclosed herein comprises a housing 101 developed to be utilized by a user to manufacture AAC (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) blocks. The AAC blocks are highly versatile, offering benefits such as lightweight construction, thermal insulation, fire resistance, non-toxicity, excellent acoustic properties, and environmental friendliness. The housing 101 serves as a main framework of the device herein and installed with a multi-sectioned container 102, which is stored with multiple constructional ingredients.

[0026] The constructional ingredients include but not limited to cement, GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace slag), silica sand, lime, aluminum powder, and fly ash. Each section of the container 102 is separately storing the ingredients to ensures no contamination of ingredients.

[0027] To initiate operation of the device, the user must provide input commands over a touch interactive display panel 104 about construction of AAC blocks from the ingredients. The touch interactive display panel 104 as mentioned herein is typically an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen that presents output in a visible form. The screen is equipped with touch-sensitive technology, allowing the user to interact directly with the display using their fingers. A touch controller IC (Integrated Circuit) is responsible for processing the analog signals generated when the user inputs details regarding the construction of AAC blocks from the ingredients. A touch controller is typically connected to a microcontroller through various interfaces which may include but are not limited to PI (Serial Peripheral Interface) or I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit).

[0028] After receiving input commands from the user, the microcontroller actuates a first motorized iris unit 105 integrated with a bottom section of the containers 102 to open for dispensing the ingredients inside the first chamber 103. The first iris unit 105 is typically composed of a series of thin, overlapping petals arranged in a circular pattern. The microcontroller sends signals to the motor of the first iris unit 105 to regulate the flow of ingredients from the container 102. The motor then rotates or moves the first iris unit 105 to open the first iris unit 105 to the desired position and as the first iris unit 105 opens the ingredients are dispensed on a first chamber 103 arranged beneath the container 102. When the determined amount of ingredients is dispensed in the first chamber 103, the microcontroller actuates the motor of the first iris unit 105 to rotate the petals and close the opening of the first iris unit 105.

[0029] Once the ingredients are released into the first chamber 103, a motorized mixing mechanism 106 is engaged to ensure uniform blending. The mixing mechanism 106 is controlled by the microcontroller, which monitors the process to achieve a homogeneous mixture. The motorized mixing mechanism 106 operates using a high-torque electric motor connected to a series of rotating blades positioned within the first chamber 103. When activated by the microcontroller, the motor drives these blades in a specific rotational pattern, ensuring that the dry ingredients are thoroughly blended. Additionally, the blades are strategically angled to create a vortex-like motion, which promotes uniform distribution and prevents ingredient clumping.

[0030] After the ingredients are thoroughly blended, the microcontroller actuates a second iris unit 107 located at the bottom of the first chamber 103. The second iris unit 107 opens to transfer the blended ingredients into a second chamber 108 positioned directly beneath the first chamber 103. The second iris unit 107 operates in a manner analogous to that of the first iris unit 105 described above. The precise control of ingredient movement ensures a smooth transition from dry mixing to the next stage, where liquid additives are incorporated.

[0031] Inside the second chamber 108, a multi-sectioned box 109 is installed, with each section designated to store supercritical water and aluminium powder. To optimize the reaction process, a weight sensor is integrated into this box 109 to detect the exact weight of the transferred blended ingredients. The weight sensor is typically a load cell. The blended ingredients exert a downward force to the weight sensor due to their weight. The weight sensor detects this force and converts it into an electrical signal, typically in the form of voltage variations. The raw electrical signal is weak and noisy. Therefore, it goes through signal conditioning circuitry to amplify, stabilize, and filter the signal. This conditioned signal is then sent to the microcontroller and the microcontroller continuously monitors the weight of the transferred blended ingredients.

[0032] Based on the weight measurements, the microcontroller determines the required amount of water and aluminium powder and activates a first electronic valve 110 integrated with each of the section for controlled dispensing water and aluminum powder inside the second chamber 108. Internally, the valve 110 consists of a solenoid actuator, which is an electromagnet that moves a plunger to open and close the flow path. When the microcontroller receives weight data from the weight sensor, it calculates the optimal amount of liquid and aluminium powder required, then sends an electrical signal to the valve 110, energizing it and causing the plunger to retract, allowing the controlled release of the stored material.

[0033] The duration and extent of the valve 110 opening are precisely modulated based on real-time feedback to ensure accurate dosing. Additionally, in an alternate embodiment of the present invention, the valve 110 includes a pulse-width modulation (PWM) control, enabling fine adjustments to the dispensing rate, preventing excessive or uneven mixing. Once the required amount is dispensed, the microcontroller deactivates the valve 110, causing the plunger to return to its default closed position, closing the flow path and ensuring no leakage occurs.

[0034] The addition of aluminium powder plays a crucial role in generating gas bubbles that expand the mixture, giving the AAC blocks their characteristic lightweight and porous structure.

[0035] Additionally, a blending unit 111 within the second chamber 108 is activated to thoroughly mix these additives with the base ingredients. The blending unit 111 within the second chamber 108 consists of a motorized agitator equipped with high-speed rotating paddles, which are designed to thoroughly mix the supercritical water and aluminium powder with the base ingredients. When activated by the microcontroller, the blending unit 111 ensures that the reaction between aluminium powder and water occurs uniformly, producing the necessary hydrogen gas bubbles that give AAC blocks their characteristic porous structure. The mixing process is carefully controlled to prevent over-agitation, which cause premature gas release or uneven distribution of bubbles within the AAC paste.

[0036] To further enhance the insulation properties and uniformity of the AAC paste, a microbubble unit is employed. The microbubble unit utilizes an ultrasound generator to create finer, more consistent air pockets without compromising the structural strength of the material. The ultrasound generator emits high-frequency sound waves into the AAC paste, causing the formation of microbubbles by breaking down larger gas pockets into finer, more consistent air voids. The controlled bubble formation improves insulation properties, enhances material strength, and ensures homogeneous porosity throughout the AAC block. The frequency and intensity of ultrasound waves are adjusted by the microcontroller based on the viscosity and composition of the paste.

[0037] Following the mixing process, a second electronic valve 112 positioned beneath the second chamber 108 is activated to dispense the AAC paste into a pipe lined with the second chamber 108 that directs the material into a mould 113. The second electronic valve 112 operates in a manner analogous to that of the first electronic valve 110 described above. The mould 113 is installed on a panel 114 at the bottom section of the housing 101 and is designed with two parts that utilize electromagnets 115 to securely hold the sections together during pouring and curing. The electromagnetic mechanism ensures proper alignment, reducing errors and improving the consistency of the final product.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present invention, internally, each section of the mould 113 is embedded with electromagnetic coils, which are composed of tightly wound copper wire around a ferromagnetic core. When the microcontroller sends an electric current to these coils, they generate a magnetic field, causing the opposing electromagnets 115 in each mould 113 section to attract and lock together with a strong, uniform force, which prevents misalignment, leakage, or shifting of the AAC paste while it sets.

[0039] To accelerate the solidification process, the mould 113 is embedded with multiple Peltier units, which are activated by the microcontroller to regulate temperature. This controlled environment facilitates efficient curing, ensuring the AAC blocks attain sufficient strength in a shorter time frame. The Peltier unit is a thermoelectric cooler that uses the Peltier effect to transfer heat from one side of the unit to the other when an electrical current is passed. The Peltier unit consists of two semiconductor materials connected in a sandwich-like fashion.

[0040] These materials are typically made of bismuth telluride and one side of the Peltier unit is called the hot side and the other is the cold side. When a direct current is applied to the Peltier unit, electrodes within the semiconductor material start moving from one side to the other. The Peltier effect occurs as a result of electron movement. When electrons flow from the cold side to the hot side, they carry heat with them. This leads to one side of the Peltier unit becoming colder, and the other side becoming hooter. This effect allows the Peltier unit to effectively transfer heat from one side to the other, creating a temperature gradient.

[0041] Once the AAC block has been cured to an appropriate level, a robotic arm 116 inside the housing 101 is deployed to transport the solidified block from the mould 113 to a platform 118 integrated within the housing 101. Internally, the robotic arm 116 consists of multiple articulated joints, servo motors, and high-torque actuators, all controlled by the microcontroller to execute smooth and coordinated movements. The arm is equipped with end-effectors, which include a mechanical clamp for ensuring a secure grip on the block without causing damage.

[0042] The platform 118 is equipped with a hydraulic piston 124 mounted on an inverted U-shaped pole 125. The piston 124 applies controlled pressure on the manufactured AAC block to evaluate its strength.

[0043] A pressure sensor is embedded within the platform 118 to measure the force exerted by the piston 124, generating real-time data on the block’s structural integrity. The pressure sensor contains a piezoelectric material, which generates a voltage in response to mechanical stress. When a pressure is applied by the piston 124, it deforms the piezoelectric material. The pressure applied causes the material to deform, creating a strain. This strain results in the generation of an electric charge across the material, producing a voltage signal proportional to the applied pressure.

[0044] The generated voltage is typically very small so the signal is amplified to make it suitable for further processing. The microcontroller continuously monitors the data from the pressure sensor and is then displayed on the interactive panel 104, allowing users to assess the quality of the block and determine whether it meets the required strength specifications.

[0045] After the strength test, the AAC block is subjected to an infrared (IR) radiation generator 117, which is strategically positioned above the platform 118. This IR radiation ensures uniform drying by efficiently removing residual moisture while maintaining the block’s durability. The infrared (IR) radiation generator 117 operates as a non-contact drying arrangement that accelerates moisture evaporation from the AAC block while preserving its structural integrity. Internally, the generator 117 consists of IR-emitting elements, such as tungsten filaments, ceramic plates, or carbon fibre emitters, which are designed to produce infrared radiation when electrically energized. When the microcontroller activates the arrangement, an electric current passes through these elements, generating high-intensity IR waves that penetrate the AAC block’s surface and excite water molecules within the material.

[0046] To achieve precise dimensional accuracy, the platform 118 is equipped with a motorized slider 119 attached to a laser cutter 120 mounted along a vertical bar 121. The laser cutter 120 is designed to make precise, adjustable cuts according to user specifications. In an embodiment of the present invention, internally, the motorized slider 119 consists of a linear actuator, which moves the laser cutter 120 vertically along the bar 121 using a rack-and-pinion mechanism, lead screw, or belt-driven arrangement. When the microcontroller receives cutting instructions, it activates a stepper motor that precisely controls the movement of the slider 119 along the vertical bar 121, ensuring the laser cutter 120 is positioned at the correct height.

[0047] The laser cutter 120 itself uses a fibre laser to generate a focused beam of intense light energy, which vaporizes or melts the material along a cutting path. The microcontroller modulates the laser intensity, cutting speed, and focal point, ensuring clean, precise cuts without causing excessive heat damage. Additionally, a motorized ball and socket joint is incorporated between the vertical bar 121 and the laser cutter 120, allowing for multi-angle adjustments to accommodate various cutting needs. This ensures that the final product meets the required dimensions with high precision.

[0048] To enhance the aesthetic appeal of the manufactured AAC blocks, the platform 118 includes a coloring section 122 that allows for customization. The section comprises multiple compartments storing different colour pigments, each of which is equipped with a hollow conduit and an electronic nozzle 123 for applying the selected pigment evenly onto the surface of the AAC block, which enables the production of coloured AAC blocks without additional post-processing.

[0049] Once the block is fully processed, a front-facing opening 126 on the housing 101 allows the user to collect the finished product. As a final quality control measure, the device includes a speaker 127, which is activated if an AAC block fails the pressure test. The speaker 127 is capable of producing clear and natural sound and is capable of adjusting its volume based on ambient noise levels. The speaker 127 consists of audio information, which is in the form of recorded voice, synthesized voice, or other sounds, generated or stored as digital data. This data is often in the form of an audio file. The digital audio data is sent to a digital-to-analog converter (DAC).

[0050] The DAC converts the digital data into analog electrical signals. The analog signal is often weak and needs to be amplified. An amplifier boosts the strength to a level so that the speaker 127 drives it effectively. The amplified audio signal is then sent to the speaker 127. The core of the speaker 127 is an electromagnet attached to a flexible cone. These sound waves travel through the air as pressure waves and are picked by the user’s ear. This provides an immediate auditory alert to notify the user of any defective products, ensuring that only high-quality blocks are released for use.

[0051] A battery is associated with the device to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrode named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the device.

[0052] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the device begins operation when the user inputs commands through the touch-interactive display panel 104, which is controlled by the microcontroller, which processes these inputs and sequentially activates various components. Initially, the multi-sectioned container 102 releases the construction ingredients (cement, GGBS, silica sand, lime, aluminum powder, and fly ash) into the first chamber 103 using the first motorized iris unit 105. The motorized mixing mechanism 106 is then engaged, blending these ingredients into the uniform mixture. Once the mixing is complete, the microcontroller triggers the second iris unit 107, transferring the blended ingredients into the second chamber 108. Here, the weight sensor detects the quantity of the mixture, and based on this data, the first electronic valve 110 dispenses the precise amount of supercritical water and aluminum powder from the multi-sectioned box 109. the blending unit 111 then thoroughly mixes these additives with the base ingredients to create AAC paste, while the microbubble unit introduces ultrasound-generated microbubbles, enhancing the insulation properties of the material. The prepared AAC paste is then released through the second electronic valve 112 into the pipe, which transfers it into the mold 113 installed on the panel 114 at the bottom of the housing 101. This mold 113 is divided into two parts, which are securely held together using electromagnets 115 to maintain precise alignment. The mold 113 also features Peltier units, which regulate temperature to accelerate the curing process. Once the AAC block reaches the desired solidification level, the robotic arm 116 carefully moves it from the mold 113 to the platform 118 inside the housing 101. On this platform 118, the hydraulic piston 124, mounted on the inverted U-shaped pole 125, applies controlled pressure to the block to evaluate its strength. the pressure sensor records the applied force and sends real-time data to the display panel 104 for quality assessment. If the block fails the strength test, the integrated speaker 127 alerts the user. Following the strength test, the block is subjected to infrared (IR) radiation from the IR generator 117 positioned above the platform 118. This ensures even drying by accelerating moisture removal without compromising the block's integrity. Next, the block moves to the motorized slider 119 with the laser cutter 120, mounted on the vertical bar 121. This precision-cutting mechanism, controlled by the microcontroller, trims the block to the required dimensions. the motorized ball-and-socket joint allows for adjustable cutting angles. Finally, the coloring section 122 personalizes the block by applying color pigments through electronic nozzles 123. Once completed, the finished AAC block is moved to the output opening 126, where it is ready for collection. This fully automated process ensures efficient, precise, and high-quality AAC block production with minimal manual intervention.
