Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of brick technology, and in particular relates to a low-carbon and environmentally friendly self-cleaning brick. Background Technology
[0002] Low-carbon and environmentally friendly self-cleaning bricks are a new type of building material made from waste or low-grade raw materials. They not only have low-carbon and environmentally friendly characteristics, but also achieve self-cleaning function through special materials or coatings. They can effectively decompose harmful substances in the air and absorb dust, providing a healthier and more environmentally friendly environment for buildings.
[0003] Traditional self-cleaning bricks have relatively limited functions, mostly only capable of purifying air or treating rainwater, making it difficult to meet multiple needs. In terms of air purification, many self-cleaning bricks cannot simultaneously decompose harmful gases and adsorb pollutants, resulting in poor air purification effects. In terms of rainwater treatment, their poor permeability easily leads to water accumulation on the ground. In addition, the lack of effective waterproof design results in poor anti-seepage performance, causing water to seep into the brick body, which in turn causes corrosion and deformation of the building structure, seriously affecting its durability and practicality. Improvements are needed. Therefore, a low-carbon and environmentally friendly self-cleaning brick is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a low-carbon, environmentally friendly self-cleaning brick to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a low-carbon and environmentally friendly self-cleaning brick, comprising a brick body, wherein a photocatalytic film layer, a biochar layer, and a permeable layer are respectively provided on the top surface of the brick body, and a waterproof layer is provided on the bottom surface of the brick body, wherein the photocatalytic film layer is made of titanium dioxide, the biochar layer is made of biochar, the permeable layer is made of porous concrete, and the waterproof layer is made of acrylic waterproof coating.
[0006] As a further description of the above solution: The top surface of the brick is equipped with a photocatalytic film layer, a biochar layer, and a permeable layer, which can effectively decompose harmful gases in the air, strongly adsorb pollutants, and promote rapid rainwater infiltration, keeping the surface of the brick moist and playing a positive role in maintaining the urban microclimate. The waterproof layer set on the bottom surface of the brick effectively prevents water inside the brick from seeping out of the brick, reducing damage such as corrosion and deformation caused by water accumulation to the building structure, improving long-term durability, and making it highly practical.
[0007] Preferably, a brick frame is fixedly installed around the outer wall of the brick body, and the top and bottom surfaces of the brick frame are on the same horizontal plane as the top and bottom surfaces of the brick body, respectively.
[0008] As a further description of the above solution: setting an edge brick frame not only allows the bricks to be tightly connected to each layer.
[0009] Preferably, both the brick body and the brick frame are square.
[0010] As a further description of the above solution: both the brick body and the brick frame are set to square, which facilitates the overall laying of self-cleaning bricks, improves construction efficiency, and also makes the self-cleaning bricks look more neat and uniform after laying.
[0011] Preferably, the brick frame has an insertion port on its side, and an insertion strip is fixedly installed on the side of the brick frame, with damping provided between the insertion strip and the insertion port.
[0012] As a further description of the above solution: the side of the brick frame has an insertion slot, and the side of the brick frame is fixedly installed with a strip, which facilitates the joint installation between self-cleaning bricks and further improves construction efficiency.
[0013] Preferably, the length of the insert is greater than the length of the socket.
[0014] As a further description of the above solution: the length of the insert is greater than the length of the spigot, which allows the gap between the self-cleaning bricks to be filled with concrete after they are joined, thereby improving the stability of the self-cleaning bricks after they are laid.
[0015] Preferably, the height of the insert is lower than the top surface of the brick frame.
[0016] As a further description of the above solution: the height of the insert is lower than the top surface of the brick frame, so that the insert can be covered when filling the concrete between the self-cleaning bricks, thus improving the aesthetics.
[0017] In summary, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the top surface of the brick is provided with a photocatalytic film layer, a biochar layer and a water-permeable layer, which can effectively decompose harmful gases in the air, strongly adsorb pollutants, and promote the rapid infiltration of rainwater, keeping the surface of the brick moist, which plays a positive role in maintaining the urban microclimate. The waterproof layer set on the bottom surface of the brick effectively prevents water inside the brick from seeping out of the brick, reducing the damage to the building structure caused by water erosion such as corrosion and deformation, improving long-term durability and practicality.

[0027] The photocatalytic film layer 2 set on the top surface of the brick 1 is made of titanium dioxide. Its working principle is that under light conditions, titanium dioxide can catalytically decompose harmful gases in the air, such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, and convert them into harmless substances, thereby purifying the air.
[0028] Biochar layer 3, made of biochar, has a strong adsorption capacity and can strongly adsorb pollutants in the air, such as dust and pollen, further enhancing the purification effect of the self-cleaning brick.
[0029] The permeable layer 4 is made of porous concrete, which allows rainwater to infiltrate quickly, reducing surface runoff, while keeping the surface of the brick 1 moist, which helps to maintain the urban microclimate and reduce the urban heat island effect.
[0030] The waterproof layer 5 set on the bottom surface of the brick body 1 is an acrylic waterproof coating, which forms a waterproof barrier to effectively prevent water inside the brick body 1 from seeping out of the brick body 1, protect the building structure from water erosion, and improve the long-term durability of the brick body 1.

[0033] A brick frame 6 is fixedly installed around the outer wall of the brick body 1. The top and bottom surfaces of the brick frame 6 are on the same horizontal plane as the top and bottom surfaces of the brick body 1, respectively.

[0038] The length of insert 8 is greater than the length of socket 7;
[0039] The length of the insert 8 is designed to be greater than the length of the socket 7. After the self-cleaning bricks are joined, the insert 8 will extend beyond the socket 7, forming a certain gap. The gap area is used to fill the concrete, so that the adjacent bricks are more firmly connected together, improving the stability of the self-cleaning bricks after laying and preventing the bricks from loosening and shifting.
