Description

1 TARIFF A suspension system consisting of ceramic blocks and tension elements. SYSTEM Technical Area This invention relates to surface systems used in architectural applications; from a load-bearing structure Tension elements are numerous ceramic blocks positioned by being suspended or fixed to the structure. It deals with surface systems created by assembling surfaces by hanging them together. State of the Art In current architectural practices, ceramic-based materials are used in building facades and interiors. Separator structural elements are generally produced using traditional methods such as molding, extrusion, or pressing. They are manufactured using production methods and chemical processes such as mortar or adhesive. implemented or rigid load-bearing substructures, profiles, rail systems or mechanical They are fixed to the structure via fasteners. In such systems, the structural elements Their geometries are largely standardized, and the elements are geometrically distinct from each other. Because differentiation requires solutions specifically tailored to each different element, it is not necessary to approach things holistically. This can limit their interoperability and increase manufacturing difficulty. 25 With the widespread adoption of additive manufacturing technologies in recent years, ceramics, plastics, and concrete or structures built on an architectural scale using powdered material or other inorganic materials. Various solutions have been proposed for the production of these components. However, these solutions... It focuses mostly on the production process of building elements, and the architectural aspects of the produced elements. Traditional mounting and fastening systems continue to be used for assembly to structures. This situation is due to the geometric variety and design offered by additive manufacturing methods. This leads to limitations in its flexibility during the assembly and application phases. On the other hand, hangers or 35 are mostly used in facade, interior and / or exterior applications. Tension-based systems utilize a type of suspension system where the elements suspended from them are attached to an outer frame. 2 They are attached thanks to the apparatus, therefore the shapes of the ceramic elements used are 5 Differentiations or variations remain limited. The European patent document numbered EP2154302B1 describes flexible materials that can be used on building facades. In a ceramic brick system suspended from tension elements, standardized repeating bricks The tension elements are secured by fastening wires that pass along their outer edges. It has been stated. Technical Problems That the Invention Aims to Solve The repeatability of ceramic building elements manufactured using traditional production methods is 15. standardization in order to increase the geometric differences between the elements This makes differentiation difficult; if differentiated within a single application, both production and manufacturing become problematic. and also creates significant limitations in assembly processes. Additive manufacturing methods can be used to produce ceramics, plastics, concrete, or similar powder materials. geometric shapes of permeable or semi-permeable structural elements with separator properties, made from materials. While it is possible to produce them in forms that can vary, current techniques... In these solutions, the assembly requirements of these elements are addressed holistically with the production process. This is not taken into account. This situation demonstrates that the design flexibility offered by additive manufacturing methods, During the assembly phase, 25 effective traditional fastening and transport systems. This leads to it being unusable. The aim of this invention is to produce ceramic architectural building elements using additive manufacturing methods. Designing and manufacturing these components with assembly requirements in mind, Suitable for positioning on structural tension elements using axial machining methods. transforming it into a holistic manufacturing process encompassing production, processing, and assembly stages. and the provision of an assembly system. In this way, geometrically different ceramics can be used. Flexible and controlled applications of architectural building elements, both on facades and in interior spaces. It becomes possible to use it in a repeatable manner. 35 3 Description of the invention 5 The invention is a separator consisting of ceramic blocks, tension elements, and fastening elements. It is an architectural surface creation system that serves as a facade element. These ceramic blocks (1) conform to the geometries previously defined digitally. They are produced by additive manufacturing methods in the form of ceramic blocks (1), with intermittent structures. Possessing, permeable, similar, or geometrically different from one another. They can be. Ceramic blocks (1) are produced by additive manufacturing method and then fired without firing. First, it is processed using multi-axis machining methods required for assembly. This processing... During the process, holes 15 will interact with structural tension elements (2) on ceramic blocks (1). (5), slits, channels or similar geometries (4) are created. These geometries (Figure 2), allowing ceramic blocks (1) to be positioned on tension elements (2). It provides. Ceramic blocks (1) are fired after the processing process and optionally It can be subjected to glazing and re-firing. Ceramic blocks (1) are placed on structural tension elements (2) after the firing process. They are mounted by being placed on the tension elements (2), ceramic blocks (1) There are stopping elements (3) that determine and fix their positions, and these elements (3) controlled positioning of ceramic blocks (1) in vertical directions This ensures that the structural elements (1) are on a system based on the tension principle and 25 It is possible to position it and fix it in place by suspending it (Figure 1). The suspension system in question requires that at least two tension elements pass through each ceramic block. applied (Figure 1). All ceramic blocks on each tension element, in total It must pass through at least two more separate tension elements (Figure 1). This ensures that the system has 30 The integrated horizontal behavior is ensured by ceramic architectural elements, as the assembly progresses. This multi-part tensioning system functions as a single surface. How the invention can be applied to industry. 35 The invention is relevant to the building and construction sector, particularly for building facades, interior partitions, and semi-open spaces. It is suitable for industrial application in the creation of elements and permeable architectural surfaces. The surface and ceramic blocks defined within the system can optionally provide shading and wind protection. 4 and can perform functions such as creating a sound barrier or controlling visual permeability. It can be implemented in this way, therefore it has high potential for application in the construction sector. The suspension system and the ceramic blocks within it come in various configurations and shapes. and its potential for application in the construction industry due to its ability to be identified on surfaces. It is high. 10
