[0001] This utility model relates to the field of architectural decorative brick technology, specifically to a brick module combination for building walls. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of architecture, decorative bricks are widely used in building facades and wall decorations. However, most existing decorative bricks are simple and repetitive, and the light and shadow effects created by their combination are relatively monotonous, lacking dynamic changes and a sense of layering.

[0003] Therefore, a combination of brick modules for building walls is provided that can meet the needs of modern architectural decoration for dynamic light and shadow expression, and has varied light and shadow effects and a sense of layering. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a brick module combination for building walls that can meet the needs of modern architectural decoration for dynamic light and shadow expression, and has varied light and shadow effects and a sense of layering.

[0005] This utility model discloses a brick module assembly for building walls, which includes a variety of brick modules. Each brick module is formed by deformation of one or more standard modular units. The top and bottom surfaces of each brick module are provided with limiting structures for splicing. The deformed ends of the brick modules form multi-faceted structures.

[0006] The brick module includes brick module one, brick module two, brick module three and brick module four.

[0007] The brick module includes a standard modular unit and an outwardly convex folded surface structure formed at the deformed end, which is formed by a combination of multiple irregular planes.

[0008] The second brick module is obtained by cutting the first brick module, and the cut part forms multiple asymmetrical inclined surfaces.

[0009] The brick module three includes two standard modular units and an externally convex folded surface structure two formed at the deformed end, which is formed by a combination of multiple irregular planes.

[0010] The fourth brick module is obtained by cutting the third brick module, and the cut part forms multiple asymmetrical inclined surfaces.

[0011] The standard modular unit has dimensions of 100mm × 120mm × 100mm.

[0012] Both brick module one and brick module two can be enclosed in a spatial volume of 100mm × 150mm × 100mm; both brick module three and brick module four are enclosed in a spatial volume of 200mm × 170mm × 100mm.

[0013] The limiting structure includes a pair of protruding tenons and grooves; wherein the limiting structures on the top and bottom surfaces of the brick module are centrally symmetrical.

[0014] Both the tenon and the groove are designed as hemispherical structures, with the radius of the groove being larger than the radius of the tenon.

[0015] In summary, the technical solution of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The outer surface (deformation end) of each brick module described in this utility model has a multi-faceted shape, which can produce a three-dimensional tactile and visual effect. While enhancing the visual layering and richness of the building exterior wall, it can also enhance the artistry and dynamic beauty of the building surface through the rich light and shadow effects produced by light illumination. The combination of brick modules can not only meet the needs of modern architectural decoration for dynamic light and shadow expression and have a variety of light and shadow effects, but also have a rich sense of layering.

[0017] The brick module of this utility model has protruding tenons and grooves on both the top and bottom surfaces, and the protruding tenons and grooves on the top and bottom surfaces are centrally symmetrical; this makes the brick module easier to assemble and install, and also increases the diversity and flexibility of brick module combinations.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment discloses a brick module assembly for building walls. The brick module assembly includes multiple brick modules, each formed by deforming one or more standard modular units. The top and bottom surfaces of each brick module are provided with limiting structures for splicing. The deformed ends of the brick modules form multi-faceted structures 5. As a preferred embodiment, the standard modular unit has dimensions of 100mm × 120mm × 100mm.

[0031] The brick module includes brick module 1, brick module 2, brick module 3, and brick module 4.

[0032] Specifically, brick module 1 includes a standard modular unit and an outwardly convex folded surface structure 1 formed at the deformed end, the outwardly convex folded surface structure 1 being formed by combining multiple irregular planes; brick module 2 is obtained by cutting based on brick module 1, the cut portion forming multiple asymmetric inclined surfaces. Both brick module 1 and brick module 2 can be contained within a spatial volume of 100mm × 150mm × 100mm.

[0033] The brick module 3 includes two standard modular units and a convex folded surface structure 2 formed at the deformed end. The convex folded surface structure 2 is formed by combining multiple irregular planes. The brick module 4 is obtained by cutting the brick module 3, and the cut portion forms multiple asymmetric inclined surfaces. Both the brick module 3 and the brick module 4 are enclosed in a spatial volume of 200mm × 170mm × 100mm.

[0034] In this embodiment, each brick module has multiple folded surfaces forming an irregular three-dimensional shape on its outer surface. The top and bottom surfaces are both provided with tenons 6 and grooves 7 for positioning. The other three sides are planar surfaces, exhibiting simple planar geometry. As a preferred implementation, during the production of the brick modules, natural mineral particles or pigments are mixed into the concrete to simulate the irregular texture characteristics of natural weathering or aging, giving each brick module unique visual variations and artistic and decorative qualities.

[0035] Furthermore, each brick module is covered with a waterproof coating, which improves the waterproof and anti-pollution properties of the brick module surface, reduces water absorption by the wall and damage caused by water penetration, thereby reducing the occurrence of salt precipitation caused by water.

[0036] like Figure 2As shown, the limiting structure further includes a pair of tenons 6 and grooves 7; wherein the limiting structures on the top and bottom surfaces of the brick module are centrally symmetrical. Both the tenon 6 and the groove 7 are hemispherical structures, with the radius of the groove 7 being larger than the radius of the tenon 6. As a preferred embodiment, the tenon 6 is a protruding hemispherical structure with a radius of 10mm; the groove 7 is a concave hemispherical structure with a radius of 13mm; thus, the diameter difference between the tenon 6 and the groove 7 is 6mm, forming a circumferential gap of approximately 3mm after they fit together. This gap provides the necessary installation tolerance during the masonry process, effectively avoiding splicing jams caused by mold tolerances or construction errors. Meanwhile, the groove 7 forms an approximately spherical void structure around the tenon 6, which allows the mortar to be evenly filled in the area, thereby forming a symmetrical cover for the tenon 6, enhancing the local stability of the brick module, helping to prevent the brick from shaking or misaligning before the mortar sets, and further improving the splicing accuracy and construction stability.

[0037] It should be noted that the tenon 6 and the groove 7 are only used for positioning and limiting, and do not play a structural locking role. Therefore, the connection between the brick modules still requires mortar as a bonding medium to form the final connection structure, so as to ensure the overall stability and durability of the wall.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, it is a specific brick module combination used in building walls (hereinafter referred to as: brick module combination one); Figure 4 This section describes two typical light and shadow effects of the brick module assembly under natural light from high and low incident angles. When the light shines at a high incident angle, the folds on the brick module surface create deep shadows, similar to the cutting effect of "axe-cut strokes," depicting cracks and fissures in the rocks. Under low incident angle lighting, the irregular textures and misaligned designs on the brick module surface create soft light and shadow transitions, presenting a dotted and gradient effect similar to "rice-grain strokes." Figure 4 (a) and (b) in the text correspond to the "axe-cut texture stroke" and "rice-dot texture stroke" in Chinese landscape painting, respectively, so that the brick module not only has a modern architectural decoration effect, but also incorporates profound cultural connotations.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, this is another specific brick module combination used for building walls (hereinafter referred to as: Brick Module Combination Two). Figure 3 The brick module combination shown is one and Figure 5The brick module combination two refers to different combinations and arrangements of brick modules. Specifically, the four brick modules provided in this application (brick modules one, two, three, and four) can flexibly change their relative positions during actual use. The overall wall shape and resulting light and shadow effects vary depending on whether the brick modules are inverted or their positions are changed. For example, each brick module can be displayed in both upright and inverted states on a single floor, creating eight different light and shadow patterns under the same light angle. In other words, the structural characteristics of the brick modules in this embodiment give them a high degree of freedom in combination, facilitating diverse arrangements and richer light and shadow effects.

[0040] In summary, this utility model, while ensuring the artistic and cultural expression of the light and shadow effects, also improves the convenience of construction and the stability of the modules; the flexible splicing of the brick modules and the varied light and shadow effects give it broad market application potential. The brick module combination of this utility model can not only meet the needs of modern architectural decoration for dynamic light and shadow expression and has varied light and shadow effects, but also has a rich sense of layering.

[0041] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
