BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in
understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the
information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed
10 invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] With rapid urbanization and incremental population growth, and a
lot of buildings being constructed here and there, a lot of construction material is
required for construction of the buildings around globe. A lot of multi-storied
buildings and roads are being constructed to provide houses and flats for
15 accommodation, shopping complexes, malls, offices, and the like, to serve people.
Moreover, along with improvement in living standards and a change in lifestyles,
as well as shrinkage in areas of villages and other such areas, people prefer to live
in a pucca house. Hence, the requirement of construction material, especially
bricks, has increased by many folds, and is increasing day-by-day. As a result,
20 bricks related industries and factories have boomed up in the past and will increase
with the upcoming years.
[0004] Traditionally, bricks are made manually, and machine-made bricks
hardly constitute 4% of the total production of bricks. This is so because the
conventional brick making machines require substantial manpower to complete the
25 process by hand or manually. The brick-kilns workers mold raw material into the
shape of bricks. The molding requires the processing of raw materials to make it in
moldable form and then need to compress in quality brick shape. The molded raw
materials are then laid down to the production area by the labors manually. The
complete process is manual and highly labor-intensive. Hence, labor faces the
30 problem of fatigue daily. Also, bricks molded manually by the workers can vary in
shape and size.
3
[0005] Moreover, the sites require a lot of area for brick-making making
machine and multiple brick-kilns standing in the area. Bricks are laid at a ground
surface located far away from said brick-kilns, which requires an extra effort and
cost. All these factors along with the requirement of a lot of workers make the
5 overall process costly. Generally, a worker can mold only 1000- 1100 bricks at
maximum in a day. It creates a shortage of workers in the industry and the demand
of bricks cannot be fulfilled at this pace.
[0006] Further, these workers get specialization from their uneducated
family as a skilled gift to them and these specialized skill doesn’t give them the
10 opportunity to flourish with prosperity to their coming generation. Moreover, such
a toll-taking task may have adverse impacts on the health of the worker. Also,
during working at brick making sites, the workers inhale harmful gases that are
released from brick-kilns during the making of bricks that may further deteriorate
their health.
15 [0007] Brick-making machines are used, though in small pockets of a few
areas only, to over-come above mentioned problems. However, the presently used
brick-making machines lack their own in-built mixture compartment, and therefore,
they require prepared raw material for making bricks. Moreover, in the bricks made
by such machines, hard raw material is used, and as the raw material is hard so the
20 clinch (base) is not strong and they make a sound of breaking up.
[0008] Moreover, existing brick making machines are not configured to lay
down the bricks in a proper and efficient manner; hence, completion of this step sill
requires manual labour. Also, conventional mobile brick making machines include
multiple components arranged in a complicated manner that makes the machine
25 complex.
[0009] There is therefore a need for a simple, cost-effective, and labourextensive solution that can mitigate the above-mentioned problems, and facilitate
in making of the bricks in an easy, efficient and arranged manner, and minimize
wastage of raw material.

3. The machine as claimed in claim 2, wherein the machine comprises a sand
dispensing unit configured adjacent to the die mould conveyor, the sand
dispensing unit comprises:
30 a sand container configured to receive and accommodate dry sand, and
32
a set of grooves configured at a first end of the sand container, wherein
the sand is dispensed at the moulds after the water sprayer spray water into
moulds after brick is disposed from it, and the disposed array of bricks to
facilitate absorption of moisture.
5 4. The machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the machine is configured to
position the die mould conveyor at a first position such that the die mould
conveyor is at a pre-defined height from the ground surface while disposing
of the bricks, and position the die mould conveyor at a second position when
the machine is in idle state.
10 5. The machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the die mould conveyor
comprises an extended mould stand that facilitats maintaining of a predefined gap between each of the plurality of moulds and the ground surface
it may be increase or decrease upon the brick height.
6. The machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the machine comprises a return
15 pipe configured between the raw material chamber and the box feeder,
wherein in case at least a part of the raw material fed in the die mould
conveyors left with the help of box feeder and return pipe recycles the extra
or wastage material out while making of the set of bricks, the machine
enables transferring of the left out at least a part of the raw material from
20 the box feeder to the raw material chamber through the return pipe.
7. The machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the machine comprises a
chassis assembly comprising:
a main chassis configured at a first end of the machine;
a stock chassis configured at a second end of the machine; and
25 a suspension element configured between the main chassis and the
stock chassis;
wherein said chassis assembly provides support to the machine, and
provides shock absorption, multi axis- angle movement and turning during
movement of the machine.
30 8. The machine as claimed in claim 7, wherein the machine comprises a wheel
assembly coupled to the chassis assembly, the wheel assembly comprising:
33
a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels mounted on the
chassis assembly through their respective axles where the front wheel is
inbuilt with hudraulic steering for anyside turning which is in cabin.
9. The machine as claimed in claim 7, wherein the main chassis and the rear
5 chassis are movably coupld to each other at a centre point and above or
hydraulic driven track pad channel of the machine, so that multi-axial,
multi-dimensional, and multi-angular movement between the main chassis
and the rear chassis is enabled.
10. The machine as claimed in claim 9, wherein the machine comprises a track
10 pad located on both side and between the pair of the front wheels and the
pair of rear wheels, the tracking element comprises a chain track like miltry
tanks to enable movement of the machine based on the driven pair of front
wheels, and facilitate in cleaning of the ground surface.
11. The machine as claimed in claim 10, wherein driving of the pair of front
15 wheels by a first angle in a first direction results in movement of the pair of
rear wheels in by the first angle in a second direction opposite to the first
direction, there by enabling the pair of rear wheels to follow footprints of
the pair of front wheels principle.
12. The machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mobile brick making
20 machine comprises a leveller that is located in front of the hydraulic driven
track pad before the die conveyor belt, and configured to wipe and level the
ground surface before laying of the set of bricks on said ground surface.
13. The machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the raw material is selected
from a group of mud,clay, fly-ash, dust crasser, silica, alumina, and lime.
