Light-transmissible construction material and manufacturing method for the same

Abstract

A light-transmissible construction material and manufacturing method for the same. The light-transmissible construction material comprises at least a light-transmitting unit and a concrete unit. The light-transmitting unit has a light entrance end, a light exit end, and a lateral wall between both ends. The lateral wall of the light-transmitting unit is enclosed and surrounded with the concrete unit. The light entrance and exit end of the light-transmitting unit are exposed from two opposite surfaces of the concrete unit. A method for manufacturing the same light-transmissible construction material comprises: placing at least one light-transmitting unit between two side formworks; filling the concrete grout between above two side formworks; and drying the concrete grout to form the light-transmissible construction material.

       8 . The light-transmissible construction material of  claim 7 , wherein a gravity of said concrete grout is smaller than a gravity of said light-transmitting unit.  
   
   
       9 . A method for manufacturing a light-transmissible construction material, comprising: 
 placing at least one light-transmitting unit between two formworks;    filling concrete grout between said two formworks; and 
 drying said concrete grout to form said light-transmissible construction material.  
   
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising positioning said light-transmitting unit.  
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the placing step includes: 
 juxtaposing said two frameworks;    passing at least one light-transmitting unit through corresponding holes of said two formworks; and    outwardly separating said two formworks.    
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising forming a fastening device on said light-transmitting unit corresponding to an outer wall of said formwork to position said light-transmitting unit.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein each said formwork has an external plate and an internal plate, the placing step includes parallelly changing a relative position between said external and internal plate to position said light-transmitting unit.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising exerting an outward pulling force on two opposite ends of said light-transmitting unit to provide the said light-transmitting unit with a tension.  
   
   
       15 . A construction structure system, comprising: 
 a light-transmitting unit, each said unit including a light entrance end, a light exit end, and a middle part between said light entrance end and said light exit end;    a frame unit, the middle part of said light-transmitting unit connecting and attaching to said frame unit; and 
 a concrete unit enclosing the middle part of said light-transmitting unit and at least a part of said frame unit, wherein the light entrance end and the light exit end of said light-transmitting unit are exposed outside said concrete unit.
