Abstract

A ventilated wall module ( 10 ) of the type used in civil construction for a range of buildings using pre-fabricated components, such as one-story homes, large houses, houses, schools, hospitals, industrial sheds, inter alia; the wall module ( 10 ) includes a pair of panels ( 20 A) and ( 30 A) that are produced independently of one another by automated, robotic equipment (E 1 ), based on large moving metal surfaces (M 1 ) that slide on rails (T 1 ); said mechanized method (M 1 ) developed for the production of the panels ( 20 A) and ( 30 A) includes an industrialized construction system (SC) for producing each wall module ( 10 ) comprising the combination of the coordination and compatibilization of the designs to be implemented with the pre-installation of the complementary components such as electrical boxes (c 1 ) or other necessary elements.

Claims (9)

1. A ventilated wall module ( 10 ) for buildings using prefabricated parts, the wall module ( 10 ) comprising:

first and second panels ( 20 A) and ( 30 A) and multiple truss-shaped solidification elements (ES), the first and second panels ( 20 A) and ( 20 B) each comprising of a cement-based slab with respective inner surfaces (s 3 ) and (s 4 ), vertical peripheral edges ( 20 b ) and ( 30 b ), and horizontal peripheral edges ( 20 c ) and ( 30 c ),

wherein the first and second panels ( 20 A) and ( 30 A) and the multiple truss-shaped solidification elements (ES) are produced by a mechanized method (M 1 ) and,

wherein:

the multiple truss-shaped solidification elements (ES), in the form of first and second sets of linear, peripheral, metal trusses ( 41 A) and ( 41 B), are mounted on respective inner surfaces (s 3 ) and (s 4 ) of the panels ( 20 A)/( 30 A) in plastic spacers ( 50 ) embedded in the concreting of the cement-based slabs that compose the panels ( 20 A)/( 30 A);

each spacer ( 50 ) of the first panel ( 20 A) also receives of a cement-based plate ( 60 ) provided, at a free end of each cement-based plate ( 60 ), with foam ( 61 ) to abut the inner surface (s 4 ) of the second panel ( 30 A); the first set of peripheral trusses ( 41 A) is applied close to the vertical ( 20 b ) and horizontal ( 20 c ) peripheral edges of the first panel ( 20 A) and in a spacing (x 1 ), whereas the second panel ( 30 A) receives the second set of peripheral trusses ( 41 B) applied next to the vertical ( 30 b ) and horizontal ( 30 c ) peripheral edges of the second panel ( 30 A) in a spacing (x 2 ) compared to the aforementioned peripheral edges ( 30 b ) and ( 30 c ) of the second panel ( 30 A);

concreting takes place in areas of the multiple truss-shaped solidification elements (ES) delimited by respective cement-based plates with foam, forming a pre-shape of embedded beams and columns, the first and second plates ( 20 A)/( 30 A) delimit quadrangular areas (Q 1 ) and (Q 2 ) without concreting, forming air pockets (BA) bounded by the embedded beams and columns;

wherein horizontal steel bars ( 71 ), steel cables ( 72 ) and vertical steel bars ( 72 ′) are also provided within respective areas delimited by respective cement-based plates ( 60 ) with foam to reinforce and complement the solidification between the plates ( 20 A)/( 30 A) in such areas.

2. The ventilated wall module according to claim 1 , wherein the solidarization between the panels ( 20 A) and ( 30 A) by the multiple truss-shaped solidification elements (ES) configure joining ribs between the panels ( 20 A) and ( 30 A) that can be defined as a: i) corner connection (N 1 ); ii) intermediate rib (N 2 ); iii) vertical connection (L 1 ); iv) end rib (N 3 ); and v) rabbet for frames (R 1 ), in which, in turn, comprises a peripheral frame (R 1 ′) for supporting various window frames (ch).
