Earth Block Machine
An earth block machine including opposed compaction chambers each receiving a reciprocal compacting member to form solid building blocks by compacting soil. The compacting members are reciprocated by a hydraulically actuated mechanical leverage system connected to the compacting members to produce a very high compaction force while employing a relatively low hydraulic pressure. Each compaction chamber includes a vertically spaced and aligned inlet and outlet provided with a hydraulically powered openable and closable plate to enable inlet of a quantity of soil into the compaction chamber from a supply bin and discharge of the formed earth block from the compaction chamber.
This invention relates to an earth block machine including opposed compaction chambers each receiving a reciprocal compacting member to form solid building blocks by compacting soil. The compacting members are reciprocated by a hydraulically actuated linkage mechanism connected to the compacting members to produce a very high compaction force while employing a relatively low hydraulic pressure. Each compaction chamber includes a vertically spaced and aligned inlet and outlet provided with a hydraulically powered openable and closable plate to enable inlet of a quantity of soil into each compaction chamber from a supply bin and discharge of the formed earth blocks from the compaction chambers.
Earth block or adobe building blocks have been used in the construction of various buildings for many years and continue to be an important building material. Original adobe block construction involved the positioning of a slurry material in a mold and letting it dry and cure for an extended period of time. Over the years, various machines have been provided for compacting soil into earth blocks which can be stacked as walls and floors for any kind of structure without the use of mortar or other type of binder material to lock the blocks together. Also, various types of presses have been developed for compressing or compacting various materials.
One advantage of this earth block machine over other soil compacting machines on the market is its ability to achieve high compaction with low hydraulic psi. Current machines require hydraulic pressure of 4000 to 5000 psi to drive their ramming systems which causes constant breakdowns within the hydraulic mechanism. In contrast, this invention's hydraulic system will operate at 750 psi. This low hydraulic pressure in turn will drive a leverage ramming system which will compress the blocks at approximately 3000 psi. The leverage ramming system contrasts with the direct hydraulic force used by current machines to drive the ramming system. This invention, by using a leverage system, is not impacted by the perpetual stress experienced by the other block machines using direct hydraulic ramming. The current block machines on the market produce between 300 to 400, 12"×10"×4", blocks per hour. This invention will produce 1200 or more 12"×10"×4" blocks per hour achieving a compressive resistance as high or higher than that of the other machines.
The positive energy impact of this invention is twofold. First, the production of blocks to be manufactured by this invention will use less energy than current block machines. Second, this invention has a dual ramming system which uses the same amount of energy as the single ramming system of other machines, while tripling production of the other machines thereby reducing the energy to produce one block by 66%. In addition to this twofold energy saving in the manufacturing process, there are substantial savings from the elimination of transportation of blocks from the manufacturing source to the construction site. Many areas suitable for large scale, low cost, housing projects and areas where emergency military quarters are needed, are long distances from a manufacturing source. This often requires transporting high volumes of building materials hundreds of miles. This invention eliminates this need of transporting blocks, resulting in major energy savings. One further source of energy saving would be the exceptional insulation qualities provided by earth blocks.
Adobe building blocks have been used in construction for thousands of years. Throughout North and South America, Africa, the Middle East and other parts of the world, adobe blocks continue to be an important building material. The invention takes the ancient adobe method of making blocks to a state of the art technology. The invention eliminates the weeks and months of curing time required by conventional adobe blocks. As quickly as the invention produces blocks, the blocks can be stacked as walls and floors for any kind of structure.
Block manufacturing plants are normally located in places where the prime raw material is abundant and easy to obtain. The blocks are then transported to the place of use, in many cases hundreds of miles. This invention eliminates the cost of transportation, thereby saving vast amounts of fuel by fabricating the blocks at the place of use. Thus, every building site becomes an instantaneous block factory.
There are several block machines on the market that produce blocks at the place of use. However, these machines have severe problems caused by the constant high pressure of the fluid used in their hydraulic system. In addition, the aftershock caused by releasing the high pressure during their working cycle is very deleterious. These adverse effects reduce the effective working time of the machines by over 60%. The mean pressure used by these machines is 5000 psi. The machine of this invention uses a pressure of only 750 psi and compresses the soil at a higher pressure. This is made possible through the use of a mechanical leverage system driven by a low-pressure hydraulic system. This machine compresses soil at up to 3000 psi and thus obtains a solid block which is better than the blocks obtained with the traditional method.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an earth block machine utilizing opposed compaction chambers or molds and opposed compacting members or rams reciprocal in relation to the compacting chambers with a hydraulically actuated power mechanism connected to the compacting members by a mechanical leverage system that enables an extremely high compaction or compression pressure to be exerted on soil in the compaction chambers while using a reduced hydraulic pressure.
Another object of the invention is to provide an earth block machine in accordance with the preceding object in which the hydraulic mechanism includes a pair of opposed generally aligned hydraulic piston and cylinder assemblies with the piston of each of the assemblies being connected to a pair of links which move the opposed compacting members in a reciprocal manner in relation to the compacting chambers.
A further object of the invention is to provide an earth block machine in accordance with the preceding objects in which each of the compaction chambers includes a vertically spaced inlet opening and outlet opening in which the inlet openings are communicated with a supply bin for soil to be compressed into a solid building block.
Still another object of the invention is to provide an earth block machine in accordance with the preceding objects in which the inlets and outlets are opened and closed by sliding plates actuated by hydraulically powered piston and cylinder assemblies operated independently of the piston and cylinder assemblies for reciprocating the compacting members.
Another significant object of this invention is to provide an earth block machine that is hydraulically operated to compress soil at a very high pressure until the soil becomes a solid building block with the soil to be compressed being supplied from a supply bin into a pair of opposed, aligned and spaced compaction chambers each of which receives a reciprocal compacting member with the compacting members being in opposed aligned relation and connected to a pair of links at their proximal ends with the links converging and pivotally connected to the piston of one of a pair of opposed hydraulically operated piston and cylinder assemblies whereby the links will be moved from a position in acute angular relation to each other to a position substantially in alignment with each other to move the compacting members in a reciprocal manner with the pivotal movement of the links providing an increasing force to the compacting members as they move from an acute angular converging relation to a substantially aligned relation.

Can you have an under mount sink with a butcher block counter top?
The butcher block is from ikea, the Lagan style, and I'd like to know how feasible it is to use that product with an under mount sink? My concern would be on whether the wood exposed by the cut would decay.
I've seen it done before and have wondered the same thing. The answer is that the wood is sealed by several coats of poly, and a bead of silicone forms a seal between the sink and the wood countertop. So it can be done because the wood is never in direct contact with water.
That said, I personally would not leave a puddle of water on the countertop, and I'd make sure to refinish the wood every 5 years or so to make sure it still have enough poly on it to protect it.
