The system may include a membrane material that defines the walls and roof of the dome. The system may also have brackets that are placed into the roof formed by the membrane material. After foam has been sprayed, a user may insert wires into the foam. The wires are positioned so as to receive rebar to add structural stability to the dome. A robotic sprayer applies shotcrete to inner walls of the dome, over the foam, wire, and rebar. A traditional roof may be coupled to the completed concrete dome using the brackets that have been embedded throughout the initial construction of the dome.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a method of constructing a dome enclosed within a residential house or other structure. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a method of robotically applying a shotcrete dome roof and walls, with optional embedded brackets, and an optional wood frame roof structure.

BACKGROUND

Domes have been constructed for thousands of years. One of the earliest domes known to man is the Pantheon built by the Romans. Since then, domes have been erected across the world. Contemporary domes are used for a number of reasons, such as for commercial purposes, safety, home living, military, and for many other reasons. While some have utilized domes as residential homes, most have not turned to such designs often due to the aesthetics being less than appealing to some.

Dome houses have many advantages that are not found in wood-structured homes. Some of these advantages may include structural stability during tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, and other natural disasters. Even with the many advantages inherent in domes, the United States, in particular, has focused on building wood-structured homes. Accordingly, individuals living in areas with widespread risk of tornados and hurricanes often use shelters or concrete community structures for safety. Wood-structured homes in these areas are often damaged due to natural disasters. In areas of wildfire risk, homes and cabins are often lost to fires each year. In addition, due to the recent labor shortages and increase in building costs in the country, many individuals and families will go homeless if their houses are lost from natural disasters, fires, etc.

Accordingly, there is a need for safe, attractive, cost-effective dome homes, including homes with traditional wood-structured aesthetics, that can be built quickly and that keep families safe from natural disasters. The present invention seeks to solve these and other problems.

SUMMARY OF EXAMPLE EMBODIMENTS

In one embodiment, a robotics dome construction system allows a user to construct a dome while masking the dome within a structure built with traditional wood building materials. The dome and the structure may be constructed as a single unit. The system may comprise a membrane material that defines the walls and roof of the dome. The walls of the dome may also be constructed by using insulated concrete forms (ICF). The system may also comprise brackets that are placed into the roof formed by the membrane material. Foam may then be sprayed over an interior surface of the membrane. After the foam has been sprayed, a user may insert wires into the foam. The wires are positioned so as to receive rebar to add structural stability to the dome.

A robotic sprayer applies shotcrete to inner walls of the dome, over the foam, wire, and rebar and, if desired, on an outer surface of the dome. The robotic sprayer may be programmed to spray various sizes of domes, both in height and width. The robotic sprayer may be programmed to apply wet shotcrete automatically or may be controlled by a manipulator.

The system may further include a traditional roof that is coupled to a top of a completed dome, which adds to the traditional look, feel, and appeal of a traditional home. The traditional roof may comprise standard wood trusses, plywood sheeting, and other standard roofing materials found in traditional roof-built structures. The traditional roof may be coupled to the completed concrete dome using brackets that have been embedded in the initial construction of the dome.

In one embodiment, a method of constructing a dome within a structure comprises building a dome that is defined by a material membrane; inserting brackets into the roof form of the material membrane; spraying interior surface of the dome with foam; placing wire into the foam; coupling rebar to the wire; using a robotic sprayer that applies shotcrete to an interior surface of the dome; and coupling a traditionally designed roof and structure to the brackets embedded in dome.

As previously described, there is a need for safe, attractive, cost-effective dome homes, including homes with traditional wood-structured aesthetics, that can be built quickly and that keep families safe from natural disasters.

As seen throughout the world, domes have been an important part of history for thousands of years. Some of the earliest domes were erected by the Romans. While domes are still presently built, the manner in which they are built and the materials used vary drastically from those built centuries ago. Due to new material and building methods, domes today are built to withstand natural disasters, such as wildfires, tornadoes, and hurricanes. While some have utilized domes as residential homes, most have not turned to such designs often due to the designs being less than appealing to some. Accordingly, wood-structured homes are prevalent throughout the United States, even though they offer little to no protection from natural disasters.

The system described herein comprises a robotic sprayer system that is preprogramed to the dimensions of a dome so as to properly spray shotcrete thereon. Using a robotic sprayer allows shotcrete to be applied precisely and quickly, thereby keeping labor costs down. The system includes utilizing a membrane material to define the shape of the dome, spray foam, rebar, brackets, and the shotcrete applied by the robotic system. Further, the system includes building materials to erect a traditional wood roof that is configured to be coupled to an upper surface of the dome via the brackets. It will be appreciated that the system and method described herein allows a user to benefit from the inherent protective qualities of a dome while masking the dome by placing a typical wood-based roof thereon. Accordingly, a user may enjoy the benefits of having a home or a business inside a dome while having a safe, attractive, cost-effective structure that can be built quickly and precisely, using robotically programmed shotcrete sprayers. It will be appreciated that the structure with a dome therein may keep families safe from natural disaster, but still have the aesthetics of a traditionally built structure (e.g., wood-built home).

The method described herein comprises building a dome that is defined by a material membrane; inserting brackets into the roof form of the material membrane; spraying interior surface of the dome with foam; placing wire into the foam; coupling rebar to the wire; using a robotic sprayer that applies shotcrete to an interior surface of the dome; and couple traditionally designed roof to brackets embedded in the dome; and constructing structure around the dome.

In one embodiment, a robotics construction system (hereinafter referred to as the “system”) allows a user to construct a dome while masking the dome within a structure (e.g., residential or commercial buildings) built with traditional wood or metal building materials. The dome and the structure may be constructed as a single unit. The dome may receive traditionally wood-built rooms that couple to the sides thereof so as to mask portions of the dome and provide additional space. In some embodiments, more than one dome may be built to add additional space to the structure.

The system may comprise a membrane material that defines the walls and roof of the dome. The membrane material may comprise a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane. In other embodiments, the membrane material may include tarps or cloth fabrics. While the walls and roof of the dome may be constructed by using only the membrane material, it will be understood that the walls of the dome may also be constructed by using insulated concrete forms (ICF). It will be appreciated that the construction of the dome may be performed via any other known methods in the industry. The system may also comprise brackets 100 that are placed into the roof formed by the membrane material. In some embodiments, additional anchors may be used, such as concrete anchor bolts, with the brackets or in place of the brackets. The brackets 100 may comprise a platform 102 with an upper surface 104. The upper surface 104 may comprise a first shaft 106A and a second shaft 106B. The first and second shafts 106A, 106B may both include threaded ends to receive, for example, nuts. The first and second shafts 106A, 106B may be secured to the roof so that the first and second shafts 106A, 106B may extend upward above an upper surface of the roof. The brackets 100 may further comprise a lower surface 108 that includes a first panel 110A and a second panel 110B. The first and second panels 110A, 110B may interact with wire and rebar discussed below. In some embodiments, knife plates may also be coupled to the roof, similar to the brackets 100, if a second story floor is desired.

Foam may then be sprayed over an interior surface of the membrane. After the foam has been sprayed, a user may insert wires into the foam at a predetermined death so as to leave a portion of the wire protruding. The wires are positioned so as to receive rebar to add structural stability to the dome. While rebar is discussed, it will be appreciated ropes, shafts, or other supporting members may be used. It will be understood that the foam may be sprayed by hand or through robotic spraying mechanisms similar to those discussed below for the shotcrete.

A robotic sprayer may be configured to apply shotcrete to inner walls of the dome, over the foam, wire, and rebar and if desired on an outer surface of the dome. In some embodiments, other compounds may be used, such as plastics and rubbers, to apply to the inner walls. The robotic sprayer may be programmed to spray various sizes of domes, both in height and width. The robotic sprayer may be programmed to apply wet shotcrete automatically or may be controlled by a manipulator. In addition, the robotic sprayer may be attached to a man lift, fork lift, or crane. While the system discusses the robotic sprayer, it will be understood that, in some embodiments, hand spraying may also be used in the system. It will be appreciated that there are many benefits to using a robotic sprayer. Some of these benefits may include increased production, safety, precision in applying shotcrete, and decreased labor costs. Any other materials typically needed in a dome building process may also be used in this system.

The system may further include a traditional roof that is coupled to a top of a completed dome, which adds to the traditional look, feel, and appeal of the structure. The traditional roof may comprise standard wood trusses, plywood sheeting, and other standard roofing materials found in conventional roof-built structures. The traditional roof may be coupled to the completed concrete dome using the brackets that have been embedded in the initial construction of the dome. More specifically, the first and second shafts 106A, 106B may be used to couple the wood framing to the dome. By attaching the wood-framed roof to these embedded brackets, the roof may be strengthened enough to withstand harsh elements and even natural disasters. It will be noted that overall appearance internally of this structure involves curved concrete walls and a dome shaped concrete roof. On the outside, the structure includes curved walls and a traditionally designed roof, which can take on numerous appearances and materials according to an individual's preference.

As shown in FIG. 2, in one embodiment, a method of constructing a conventional building with a dome therein 200 comprises a user constructing a first structure (e.g., dome) with walls and a roof form, the shape being defined by a membrane material, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane at step 202. The wall shape may also be formed via ICF block, tarps, or cloth fabrics. At step 204, the user places brackets into a roof form of the structure. In some embodiments, additional anchors may be used, such as concrete anchor bolts, with the brackets or in place of the brackets. At step 206, the user inserts knife plates in roof form for second story in structure. At step 208, the user sprays walls and roof of structure with foam (e.g., spray polyurethane foam). At step 210, the user inserts wire into foam, leaving wire protruding from the foam, or a robotic system may be used to insert the wire. In some embodiments, a second layer of foam may be sprayed over the protruding wires. At step 212, the user may couple rebar to the protruding wire by hand, with a tool, or by a robotic mechanism. While rebar is discussed, it will be understood that ropes, plastic shafts, or any other type of supporting member may be used. At step 214, the user uses a robotic sprayer that has been pre-programmed, by the user, to the exact dimensions of the structure to spray shotcrete to the walls and roof of structure. In some embodiments, compounds other than shotcrete may be used, such as plastics, rubbers, or other compounds, or some combination of shotcrete and another compound may be used. The robotic sprayer may be programmed to apply wet shotcrete automatically or may be controlled by manipulator device. In addition, the robotic sprayer may be attached to a man lift, fork lift, crane, or may be operated by hand. At step 216, the user allows the shotcrete to dry and cure. At step 218, the user places a traditionally designed roof (i.e., trusses) with holes drilled into the wood timber onto the first and second shafts 106A, 106B of the brackets 100 in the dome roof and couples the traditionally designed roof using fasteners (e.g., nut and washer) on the first and second shafts 106A, 106B. The user may erect a second structure (e.g., wood-framed structure) around the first structure and couple it thereto.

As shown in FIG. 3, in one embodiment, a method of constructing a conventional building with a dome therein 300 comprises a user constructing a structure (e.g., dome) with walls and roof shape being defined by a material, such as a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane at step 302. The wall shape may also be formed via ICF block, tarps, or cloth fabrics. At step 304, the user places brackets 100 into a roof form, such as the membrane, of the structure. In some embodiments, additional anchors may be used, such as concrete anchor bolts, with the brackets or in place of the brackets. At step 306, the user or a robotic sprayer sprays the walls and the roof of the structure with foam (e.g., spray polyurethane foam). At step 308, the user inserts wire into the foam, leaving wire protruding from the foam. In some embodiments, a second layer of foam may be sprayed over the protruding wires. At step 310, the user may couple rebar to the protruding wire by hand, with a tool, or by a robotic mechanism. While rebar is discussed, it will be understood that ropes, plastic shafts, or any other type of supporting member may be used. At step 312, the user programs a robotic sprayer to the exact dimensions of the structure so as to allow the robotic sprayer to spray shotcrete to the walls and roof of structure. In some embodiments, compounds other than shotcrete may be used, such as plastics, rubbers, or other compounds, or some combination of shotcrete and another compound may be used. The robotic sprayer may be programmed to apply wet shotcrete automatically or may be controlled by a manipulator. In addition, the robotic sprayer may be attached to a man lift, fork lift, crane, or may be operated by hand. At step 314, when the shotcrete dries and cures, the user places a traditionally designed roof (i.e., trusses) with holes drilled into the wood timber onto the first and second shafts 106A, 106B of the brackets 100 in the dome roof and couples the traditionally designed roof using fasteners (e.g., nut and washer) on the first and second shafts 106A, 106B. The user may erect a second structure (e.g., wood-framed structure) around the first structure and couple it thereto.

As shown in FIG. 4, in one embodiment, a method of constructing a conventional building with a dome therein 400 comprises a user constructing a structure (e.g., dome) with walls and roof shape being defined by a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane at step 402. The wall shape may also be formed via ICF block, tarps, or cloth fabrics. At step 404, the user inserts knife plates in roof form for a second story in the structure. At step 406, the user sprays walls and roof of the structure with foam (e.g., spray polyurethane foam). At step 408, the user inserts wire into foam a predetermined depth, leaving wire protruding from the foam. In some embodiments, a second layer of foam may be sprayed over the protruding wires. At step 410, the user may couple rebar to the protruding wire by hand, with a tool, or by a robotic mechanism. While rebar is discussed, it will be understood that ropes, plastic shafts, or any other type of supporting member may be used. At step 412, the user uses a robotic sprayer that has been pre-programmed, by the user, to the exact dimensions of the structure to spray shotcrete to the walls and the roof of the structure. In some embodiments, compounds other than shotcrete may be used, such as plastics, rubbers, or other compounds, or some combination of shotcrete and another compound may be used. The robotic sprayer may be programmed to apply wet shotcrete automatically or may be controlled by a manipulator. In addition, the robotic sprayer may be attached to a man lift, fork lift, crane, or may be operated by hand. At step 414, the user allows the shotcrete to dry and cure. At step 416, the user places a traditionally designed roof (i.e., trusses) with holes drilled into the wood timber onto the first and second shafts 106A, 106B of the brackets 100 in the dome roof and couples the traditionally designed roof using fasteners (e.g., nut and washer) on the first and second shafts 106A, 106B. The user may erect a second structure (e.g., wood-framed structure) around the first structure and couple it thereto.

As shown in FIG. 5, in one embodiment, a method of constructing a conventional building with a dome therein 500 comprises a user constructing a structure (e.g., dome) with walls and roof shape being defined by a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane at step 502. The wall shape may also be formed via ICF block, tarps, or cloth fabrics. At step 504, the user sprays walls and roof of structure with foam (e.g., spray polyurethane foam). At step 506, the user inserts wire into foam at a predetermined depth, leaving wire protruding from the foam. In some embodiments, a second layer of foam may be sprayed over the protruding wires. At step 508, the user may couple rebar to the protruding wire by hand, with a tool, or by a robotic mechanism. While rebar is discussed, it will be understood that ropes, plastic shafts, or any other type of supporting member may be used. At step 510, the user uses a robotic sprayer that has been pre-programmed, by the user, to the exact dimensions of the structure to spray shotcrete to the walls and the roof of the structure. In some embodiments, compounds other than shotcrete may be used, such as plastics, rubbers, or other compounds, or some combination of shotcrete and another compound may be used. The robotic sprayer may be programmed to apply wet shotcrete automatically or may be controlled by manipulator. In addition, the robotic sprayer may be attached to a man lift, fork lift, crane, or may be operated by hand. At step 512, the user allows the shotcrete to dry and cure. At step 514, the user places a traditionally designed roof (i.e., trusses) with holes drilled into the wood timber onto the first and second shafts 106A, 106B of the brackets 100 in the dome roof and couples the traditionally designed roof using fasteners (e.g., nut and washer) on the first and second shafts 106A, 106B. The user may erect a second structure (e.g., wood-framed structure) around the first structure and couple it thereto.

In view of the previous methods, it will be understood that in some embodiments a method of using a robotics system may include only the steps of constructing the dome and using a robotics system to spray foam and/or shotcrete.

As shown in FIG. 6, in one embodiment, a method of constructing a conventional building with a dome therein 600 comprises a user constructing a first structure (e.g., dome) with walls and a monolithic roof at step 602. The walls of the first structure (e.g., dome) may include 3D printed walls, or any other type of wall (e.g., ICF or wooden created walls). The monolithic roof (i.e., single membrane roof) may be placed on and fastened to the walls. The monolithic roof may be manufactured from a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane. Other materials for the monolithic roof may include cloths, rubbers, etc. The monolithic roof may be fastened to walls so as to create a continuous connection between the walls and the monolithic roof. The monolithic roof may be configured to create a generally arch-shaped or dome-shaped roof. That is, the monolithic roof may be inflated to create the dome or arch shape. The wall shape may also be formed via ICF block, tarps, or cloth fabrics. At step 604, the user sprays an inner surface of the walls and the roof of the structure with foam (e.g., spray polyurethane foam). At step 606, the user inserts wire into foam, leaving wire protruding from the foam. That is, a predetermined length of the wire may be pushed into the foam. In some embodiments, a second layer of foam may be sprayed over the protruding wires. At step 608, the user may couple rebar to the protruding wire by hand, with a tool, or by a robotic mechanism. While rebar is discussed, it will be understood that ropes, plastic shafts, or any other type of supporting member may be used. At step 610, the user may use a robotic sprayer that has been pre-programmed, by the user, to the exact dimensions of the structure to spray shotcrete to the walls and the roof of the first structure. In some embodiments, compounds other than shotcrete may be used, such as plastics, rubbers, or other compounds, or some combination of shotcrete and another compound may be used. The robotic sprayer may be programmed to apply wet shotcrete automatically or may be controlled by manipulator. In some embodiments, the shotcrete may be applied via a hand sprayer. In addition, the robotic sprayer may be attached to a man lift, fork lift, crane, or may be operated by hand. At step 612, when the shotcrete has cured, the user places a traditionally designed roof (i.e., trusses) with holes drilled into the wood timber onto the first and second shafts 106A, 106B of the brackets 100 in the dome roof and couples the traditionally designed roof using fasteners (e.g., nut and washer) on the first and second shafts 106A, 106B. At step 614, the user may erect a second structure (e.g., wood-framed structure) around the first structure and couple it thereto.

In some embodiments, an air inflated form(s) may be utilized with either a robotic (e.g., a central robotic arm) or handheld sprayer to apply, for example, high velocity shotcrete thereto. 3D printed walls may also be positioned on an upper surface or a lower surface of the inflated form using a cementitious material. In some embodiments, an automated gantry crane may be used to apply a concrete mix under or on top of the air inflated form.

In one embodiment, steel or concrete premade arches may be used with a monolithic roof. A cementitious mix then may be applied to form the monolithic roof with the walls. In some embodiments, sensors may be used in the system to adjust to cement depths being applied to the inner or outer surfaces of the dome. In other words, sensors may be configured so that the shotcrete, or another compound, is applied evenly and at a predetermined depth.
