Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of building construction technology, and in particular to the construction of electrical conduits for strong and weak current boxes in infill walls made of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks or porous brick masonry. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of installing electrical boxes and conduits in infill masonry walls of buildings, the traditional method involves cutting and chiseling out the openings and grooves for the electrical boxes and conduits according to the design location on the wall surface after the masonry construction is completed. The conduits are then inserted into the chiseled openings and grooves and sealed with cement mortar. This traditional method not only disturbs the overall stability of the masonry structure and affects the quality of the wall, but also generates dust during the chiseling process, polluting the environment. The drilling, grooving, and patching processes increase labor and material costs, delay the construction period, and the sealing quality is unstable, easily leading to hollow areas and cracks, affecting the final appearance. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a method for the integrated construction of prefabricated concealed electrical boxes with conduits and infill wall blocks. This method is simple and convenient to construct, with low labor and material costs, and a safe and reliable structure.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to achieve the above objectives is: a construction method for prefabricated concealed electrical box conduit and infill wall block, including the following steps: (i) determining the size and structure of the prefabricated concrete block of the electrical box; (ii) setting up the mold of the prefabricated concrete block of the electrical box; (iii) assembling and pouring the mold of the prefabricated concrete block of the electrical box; (iv) installing the conduit of the prefabricated concrete block of the electrical box; and (v) processing and masonry of the infill wall block.
[0005] The further technical solution of the present invention is as follows: The construction method of each step above is as follows: (I) Determine the structure and size of the precast concrete block of the strong and weak electrical box: The precast concrete block of the strong and weak electrical box consists of the inner box of the strong and weak electrical box and the concrete block formed outside the inner box of the strong and weak electrical box. The inner box of the strong and weak electrical box is a box formed by concrete pouring. The inner box of the strong and weak electrical box is a rectangular box with one side wall hollowed out. The concrete blocks are integrally surrounded by the bottom surface and the four sides of the inner box of the strong and weak electrical box to form an integral structure. The upper and lower side walls of the inner box of the strong and weak electrical box and the concrete blocks connected thereto form reserved holes by pre-embedded multiple conduit cup lock buckles. (II) Mold setup for precast concrete blocks of electrical boxes: The mold includes a base plate, side plates, limiting strips, reinforcing clamps, and triangular wooden wedges. The side plates are connected end to end and installed on the surface of the base plate. The side plates enclose the inner cavity of the rectangular mold. The limiting strips are set on the surface of the base plate and surround the outside of the side plates to restrict the movement of the bottom end of the side plates. The reinforcing clamps surround the outside of the top end of the side plates to restrict the movement of the top end of the side plates. The triangular wooden wedges are set in the gap between the inner wall of the reinforcing clamps and the outer wall of the side plates; (III) Assembly and pouring of precast concrete blocks for electrical boxes: Assemble the mold in step (II). Pour the mold into the inner cavity of the rectangular mold formed by the side plates on the surface of the base plate. Place multiple limiting pads on the surface, then invert the inner box of the strong and weak current box onto the middle of the rectangular mold cavity formed by the side plates, and the bottom end face of the inner box of the strong and weak current box is supported by the limiting pads. Set the conduit cup locking buckle between the reserved hole of the inner box of the strong and weak current box and its corresponding side plate. Inject concrete into the inner cavity of the rectangular mold and vibrate it. After reaching the strength and forming, the precast concrete block of the strong and weak current box is obtained after demolding. (IV) Installation of conduit for the precast concrete block of the strong and weak current box: When the wall is built to the installation position of the strong and weak current box, first lay mortar at the bottom, then place the precast concrete block of the strong and weak current box with the opening facing outwards in the corresponding installation position, and use The mortar is laid together with the surrounding wall blocks and the conduit is installed in advance so that the conduit is connected to the inlet end conduit cup with a locking buckle in the pre-reserved hole at the top of the precast concrete block of the strong and weak electrical box; (V) Processing and laying of infill wall blocks: During the process of laying the infill wall from bottom to top, the part that passes through which the conduit has been installed in advance is changed from the original block I with a thickness of D to two blocks II with a thickness of D / 2. The inner side of one of the blocks II is opened according to the position and diameter of the conduit to position the conduit. The conduit is then concealed between the two blocks II with a thickness of D / 2.
[0006] A further technical solution of the present invention is: the limiting clip and the reinforcing clamp of the mold in step (II) are respectively a cuboid frame structure. When assembling the mold, the triangular wooden wedge is set in the gap between the inner wall of the reinforcing clamp and the outer wall of the side plate on opposite sides.
[0007] A further technical solution of the present invention is: after step (v), when the wall capping bricks are laid obliquely through the conduit section, the capping bricks are cut into V-shaped notches and the conduit is concealed within the V-shaped notches of the capping bricks.
[0008] The prefabricated concealed electrical box conduit and infill wall block construction method of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0009] 1. The construction method of the present invention eliminates the need for cutting, chiseling and grooving the wall surface, as well as the tedious process of subsequent mortar filling and repair. It completely solves the destructive operation of chiseling and grooving on the wall surface, speeds up the construction progress, and reduces dust and construction waste.
[0010] 2. The construction method of this invention involves prefabricating strong and weak current boxes with concrete and embedding conduits in the wall, which is completed in one piece with the masonry construction. This reduces labor costs, increases construction efficiency, improves the overall stability of the masonry structure and the quality of the wall, and avoids the risk of cracking in the wall decoration.
[0011] 3. The construction method of this invention uses precast concrete for the strong and weak current boxes. The concrete and mold materials can be made from the leftover concrete and formwork during the construction of the main structure, which saves materials and reduces costs.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] like Figure 1 This invention relates to a construction method for integrating prefabricated concealed electrical boxes with conduits and infill wall blocks, comprising the following steps: (i) determining the size and structure of the prefabricated concrete block 1 for the electrical box; (ii) setting up the mold for the prefabricated concrete block 1 for the electrical box; (iii) assembling and pouring the mold for the prefabricated concrete block 1 for the electrical box; (iv) installing the conduit 4 for the prefabricated concrete block 1 for the electrical box; and (v) processing and constructing the infill wall blocks. Before step (i), there are steps for construction preparation and optimization of the arrangement of the infill wall blocks. Construction preparation involves making necessary preparations for construction. Optimization of the arrangement of the infill wall blocks: using BIM technology, a three-dimensional model of the infill wall blocks at the locations of the electrical boxes with conduits is created on each building floor to optimize the arrangement of the entire infill wall blocks and determine the installation position of the conduits for the electrical boxes.
[0022] The specific construction methods for each step in steps (I) to (V) above are as follows:
[0023] (a) Determine the structure and dimensions of the precast concrete block 1 for the strong and weak current electrical boxes: (e.g.) Figure 2 As shown, the precast concrete block 1 of the power distribution box consists of an inner box 12 and concrete blocks 11 formed outside the inner box 12. The inner box 12 is a box formed by pouring concrete. The inner box 12 is a rectangular box with one side wall hollowed out. Before construction, the inner box 12 is precast. The concrete blocks 11 are integrally enclosed on the bottom and four sides of the inner box 12 to form an integrated structure. The upper and lower side walls of the inner box 12 and the concrete blocks connected to them form reserved holes through multiple pre-embedded conduit cup locking buckles 13. The conduit cup locking buckles 13 are pre-embedded in the precast concrete block 1 of the power distribution box during concrete pouring, which facilitates connection with the conduit 4 installed in the infill wall. Since those skilled in the art can further determine the size of the precast concrete block 1 of the strong and weak electrical box based on factors such as the size of the strong and weak electrical box, wall thickness, block module, and installation location, and since the size of the precast concrete block 1 of the strong and weak electrical box will vary depending on the circumstances, those skilled in the art can select the size of the precast concrete block 1 of the strong and weak electrical box according to the circumstances. Therefore, the size of the precast concrete block 1 of the strong and weak electrical box will not be described.
[0024] (II) Mold setup for precast concrete blocks 1 of the strong and weak current electrical boxes: (e.g.) Figure 3As shown, mold 2 includes a base plate 21, side plates 22, limiting strips 24, reinforcing clamps 23, and triangular wooden wedges 26. The side plates 22 are connected end-to-end and mounted on the surface of the base plate 21, forming a cuboid mold cavity. The limiting strips 24 are positioned on the surface of the base plate 21 and surround the outside of the side plates 22, restricting movement at the bottom of the side plates 22. The reinforcing clamps 23 surround the outside of the top of the side plates 22, restricting movement at the top. The triangular wooden wedges 26 are positioned in the gap between the inner wall of the reinforcing clamps 23 and the outer wall of the side plates 22. The limiting strips 24 and the reinforcing clamps 23 are both cuboid frame structures, allowing for quick assembly. When assembling mold 2, the triangular wooden wedges 26 are positioned in the gap between the inner wall of the reinforcing clamps 23 and the outer wall of the side plates 22 on opposite sides. Typically, two triangular wooden wedges 26 are used symmetrically on each side for tightening.
[0025] (III) Assembly and pouring of precast concrete blocks for electrical boxes: Assemble mold 2 from step (II), as follows: Figure 4 As shown, multiple limiting pads 25 are placed on the surface of the bottom plate 21 in the cuboid cavity formed by the side plates 22. Then, the inner box 12 of the power and weak current box is inverted and placed in the middle of the inner cavity of the cuboid mold formed by the side plates 22. The bottom end face of the inner box 12 of the power and weak current box is supported by the limiting pads 25. In this embodiment, four limiting pads 25 are set. The four limiting pads 25 can just support the four corners of the inner box 12 of the power and weak current box. A conduit cup locking buckle 13 is set between the reserved hole of the inner box 12 of the power and weak current box and its corresponding side plate 22 so that the reserved hole is formed after molding. Concrete is injected into the inner cavity of the cuboid mold and vibrated. After the strength is reached and the mold is demolded, the precast concrete block 1 of the power and weak current box is obtained.
[0026] (iv) Installation of conduit 4 in precast concrete block 1 of the electrical box for strong and weak current distribution: When the wall is built to the installation position of the electrical box for strong and weak current distribution, first lay mortar at the bottom, then place the precast concrete block 1 of the electrical box for strong and weak current distribution with the opening facing outwards in the corresponding installation position. After adjusting the balance, use mortar to build it together with the surrounding wall blocks, and install the conduit 4 in advance, so that the conduit 4 is connected to the inlet end conduit cup lock buckle 13 embedded in the reserved hole at the top of the precast concrete block 1 of the electrical box for strong and weak current distribution. Figure 5 As shown.
[0027] (v) Processing and construction of infill wall blocks: During the process of constructing the infill wall from bottom to top, such as Figure 5 As shown, the section where the conduit 4 has been pre-installed is replaced by two blocks II3 of thickness D / 2, which are combined and constructed instead of the original block I5 of thickness D. A slot 31 for positioning the conduit 4 is made on the inner side of one of the blocks II3 according to the position and diameter of the conduit 4, and the conduit 4 is concealed between the two blocks II3 of thickness D / 2.
[0028] After step (five), when the wall capping bricks are laid diagonally past the conduit 4, the capping bricks are cut into V-notches, and the conduit 4 is concealed within the V-notches 61 of the capping bricks. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the conduit 4 is concealed inside the capping brick 6 using the V-shaped notch 61.
[0029] This invention involves prefabricating the strong and weak current boxes with concrete and embedding the conduits within the wall, completing the process as a single unit during masonry construction. This eliminates the need for cutting and chiseling the infill wall surface before installation and sealing, making the construction simple, convenient, safe, and reliable. It solves the problems of difficulty in chiseling holes and trenches, dust pollution, and high labor and material costs for subsequent sealing in existing technologies, which affect the construction progress.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
