TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of making shaped articles. In particular, the present disclosure pertains to a simple and efficient hydraulic-based mobile brick making and laying machine.

BACKGROUND

[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.

[0003] With rapid urbanization and incremental population growth, and a lot of buildings being constructed here and there, a lot of construction material is required for construction of the buildings around globe. A lot of multi-storied buildings and roads are being constructed to provide houses and flats for accommodation, shopping complexes, malls, offices, and the like, to serve people. Moreover, along with improvement in living standards and a change in lifestyles, as well as shrinkage in areas of villages and other such areas, people prefer to live in a pucca house. Hence, the requirement of construction material, especially bricks, has increased by many folds, and is increasing day-by-day. As a result, bricks related industries and factories have boomed up in the past and will increase with the upcoming years.

[0004] Traditionally, bricks are made manually, and machine-made bricks hardly constitute 4% of the total production of bricks. This is so because the conventional brick making machines require substantial manpower to complete the process by hand or manually. The brick-kilns workers mold raw material into the shape of bricks. The molding requires the processing of raw materials to make it in moldable form and then need to compress in quality brick shape. The molded raw materials are then laid down to the production area by the labors manually. The complete process is manual and highly labor-intensive. Hence, labor faces the problem of fatigue daily. Also, bricks molded manually by the workers can vary in shape and size.

[0005] Moreover, the sites require a lot of area for brick-making making machine and multiple brick-kilns standing in the area. Bricks are laid at a ground surface located far away from said brick-kilns, which requires an extra effort and cost. All these factors along with the requirement of a lot of workers make the overall process costly. Generally, a worker can mold only 1000- 1100 bricks at maximum in a day. It creates a shortage of workers in the industry and the demand of bricks cannot be fulfilled at this pace.

[0006] Further, these workers get specialization from their uneducated family as a skilled gift to them and these specialized skill doesn’t give them the opportunity to flourish with prosperity to their coming generation. Moreover, such a toll-taking task may have adverse impacts on the health of the worker. Also, during working at brick making sites, the workers inhale harmful gases that are released from brick-kilns during the making of bricks that may further deteriorate their health.

[0007] Brick-making machines are used, though in small pockets of a few areas only, to over-come above mentioned problems. However, the presently used brick-making machines lack their own in-built mixture compartment, and therefore, they require prepared raw material for making bricks. Moreover, in the bricks made by such machines, hard raw material is used, and as the raw material is hard so the clinch (base) is not strong and they make a sound of breaking up.

[0008] Moreover, existing brick making machines are not configured to lay down the bricks in a proper and efficient manner; hence, completion of this step sill requires manual labour. Also, conventional mobile brick making machines include multiple components arranged in a complicated manner that makes the machine complex.

[0009] There is therefore a need for a simple, cost-effective, and labour-extensive solution that can mitigate the above-mentioned problems, and facilitate in making of the bricks in an easy, efficient and arranged manner, and minimize wastage of raw material.
