Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of building engineering masonry construction, and in particular to a device for controlling the thickness of mortar joints in a masonry wall and a masonry method. Background Art

[0002] Block walls are walls built with blocks and mortar. Because block walls are convenient and practical, have good thermal insulation properties, and are energy-saving and environmentally friendly, they are now widely used in load-bearing walls, filling walls, partition walls, etc. in industrial and civil buildings.

[0003] Mortar joints refer to the mortar layer between two blocks of a wall. Mortar joints play two main roles in block walls: first, they form the shear strength of the block wall through the bonding effect between mortar masonry and blocks; second, they play a role in transmitting pressure when the masonry is under pressure, which is bound to affect the compressive strength of the masonry. Therefore, effectively controlling the quality of mortar joints in block walls is the key point in the construction process of block walls.

[0004] In traditional masonry construction, the size of the horizontal mortar joint of the block is usually controlled by installing a vertical rod at each end of the length direction of the wall to be built, and then setting a horizontally extending limit rope between the vertical rods, and the two ends of the limit rope are tied to the vertical rod at one end. The height of the limit rope is used to limit the position of the top of the block, thereby controlling the size of the mortar joint; but it is difficult to ensure that the limit rope remains parallel when it is pulled. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a device for controlling the thickness of mortar joints of masonry walls and a masonry method, which has the characteristics of easy operation and can more accurately control the thickness of mortar joints of wall blocks.

[0006] The above-mentioned purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the thickness caliper is placed on the top of the foundation wall. When building the wall, the mortar layer is filled in the mortar joint based on the thickness caliper, ensuring the uniform thickness of the mortar joint. The horizontal control line corrects the flatness of the block, replacing the manual visual leveling, solving the common problem of uneven mortar joints in wall masonry projects, and is easy to use, which greatly improves the construction efficiency and quality.

[0009] The present invention is further configured as follows: the thickness caliper is configured as a plurality of groups, two groups of limit calipers are slidably connected to the thickness caliper at intervals, and the limit calipers cooperate with the thickness caliper to form a plurality of independent partition intervals.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the mortar is directly filled into the partition space when the wall is built, which effectively reduces the outflow of mortar and reduces waste. After the masonry of this layer of blocks is completed, first pull out the limit caliper, then take out the thickness caliper, and then repeat the above steps, making the masonry process faster and more convenient.

[0011] The present invention is further configured as follows: a height-adjustable vernier is provided on the adjusting caliper, a horizontal binding post is fixedly connected to the vernier, and the horizontal control line is tensioned on the horizontal binding post.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the slide groove cooperates with the slide rail to enable the thickness caliper and the adjustment caliper to be slidably installed on the mounting seat; the slide groove slides out from the slide rail to replace the thickness caliper of different heights or to perform replacement and maintenance.

[0017] The present invention is further configured as follows: the limiting member is a top screw, and the end of the top screw can be inserted into the slide groove and abut against the slide rail.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixed top screw is screwed, and the fixed top screw moves along its own axis and presses against the slide rail, so that the thickness caliper and the adjustment caliper are fixed on the mounting seat.

[0019] The present invention is further configured as follows: the length of the mounting seat is adjustable, the mounting seat comprises a main rod and a support sleeve sleeved on the main rod, the support sleeve is slidably connected to the main rod; the thickness caliper and the adjustment caliper are slidably connected to the support sleeve.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the length of the mounting base can be adjusted, so that the mortar joint thickness control device can adapt to more walls and has better adaptability.

[0021] The present invention is further configured as follows: the slide rail of the mounting seat is arranged on the support sleeve, and the cross section of the main rod is adapted to the cross section of the support sleeve.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0040] Embodiment 1: A device for controlling the thickness of mortar joints in masonry walls, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it includes a mounting base 1, a thickness caliper 2 horizontally slidably mounted on the side wall of the mounting base 1, and an adjustment caliper 3 vertically slidably mounted on the top wall of the mounting base 1. The mounting base 1 is made of a light aluminum alloy square tube, and a slide rail 11 with a T-shaped cross section is formed on the top wall and one long side wall thereof (refer to Figure 3 ), the slide rail 11 is arranged along the length direction of the mounting seat 1. The thickness caliper 2 is a thin plate structure, with a length of 250-300mm, a width of 1-2mm, and a height of different heights, generally 10mm; the height dimension of the thickness caliper 2 is the thickness dimension of the mortar joint of the masonry wall.

[0041] In this embodiment, the thickness caliper 2 is provided in multiple groups; Figure 3 As shown, one end of the thickness caliper 2 is fixedly connected with two sets of U-shaped clamping plates 4 with openings facing each other, and the two U-shaped clamping plates 4 form a slide groove with a closing structure, and the axis of the slide groove is parallel to the width direction of the thickness caliper 2. The slide groove cooperates with the slide rail 11 on the side wall of the mounting seat 1, so that the thickness caliper 2 can slide smoothly on the mounting seat 1; the thickness caliper 2 can slide out from both ends of the slide rail 11 and separate from the mounting seat 1.

[0042] Similarly, two sets of U-shaped clamping plates 4 are also fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting caliper 3 , and the adjusting caliper 3 is slidably mounted on the mounting seat 1 through a sliding groove formed by the U-shaped clamping plates 4 .

[0043] The U-shaped clamping plate 4 of the adjusting caliper 3 and the thickness caliper 2 are both threadedly connected with a fixed top screw 41, and the end of the fixed top screw 41 passes through the U-shaped clamping plate 4 and abuts against the slide rail 11; the fixed top screw 41 is screwed, and the fixed top screw 41 moves along its own axis and abuts against the slide rail 11, thereby fixing the thickness caliper 2 and the adjusting caliper 3 on the mounting seat 1.

[0044] In this embodiment, the adjusting caliper 3 is provided in two groups, and both adjusting calipers 3 are provided with a sleeve-shaped vernier 5, which is slidably matched with the adjusting caliper 3. The vernier 5 is threadedly connected with an adjusting top screw 51 whose end can be tightened on the adjusting caliper 3, and the vernier 5 is fixed on the adjusting top screw 51 by the adjusting top screw 51; the body of the adjusting caliper 3 is marked with scales along its own length direction to facilitate the positioning of the vernier 5.

[0045] Horizontal connecting posts 6 are fixedly connected to the cursors 5 of the two adjustment calipers 3. Wire ropes are tied and fixed to the two horizontal connecting posts 6 as horizontal control lines 8 to control the horizontality of the wall.

[0046] One end of the thickness caliper 2 close to the mounting base 1 is fixedly connected to a vertical terminal 61, a wire rope is tied and fixed to the vertical terminal 61, and the other end of the wire rope is fixedly connected to a staple 91, and the wire rope hangs vertically as a vertical control wire 9 to control the verticality of the wall; the staple 91 is inserted into the gap in the wall to prevent the vertical control wire 9 from shaking.

[0047] Furthermore, the mounting base 1 is telescopically arranged so that its length can be adjusted; Figure 1 and Figure 3 The mounting seat 1 includes a main rod 12 and two support sleeves 13 sleeved on the main rod 12. The two support sleeves 13 slide away from each other on the main rod 12 to achieve adjustable length of the mounting seat 1. The slide rail 11 of the mounting seat 1 is located on the surface of the support sleeve 13. The cross section of the main rod 12 is adapted to the cross section of the support sleeve 13, that is, after the support sleeve 13 is sleeved on the main rod 12, the slide rail 11 will also be supported, so that the support sleeve 13 and the main rod 12 cooperate more comprehensively, and the adjustment process of the support sleeve 13 is more stable. The support sleeve 13 is also fixed to the main rod 12 by a top screw.

[0048] like Figure 4As shown, when using the mortar joint thickness control device to build a wall, first manually build a basic wall 20, place the thickness caliper 2 on the top of the basic wall 20, that is, in the uppermost mortar joint, and the mounting seat 1 is located on one side of the basic wall 20; then adjust the length of the mounting seat 1 according to the size of the wall to be built, move the adjustment caliper 3 to both ends of the mounting seat 1 and fix it; tighten and fix the horizontal control line 8 on the cursor 5 to control the horizontality of the wall, and fix the vertical control line 9 on the vertical terminal 61 at the end of the thickness caliper 2 to control the verticality; then fill the mortar layer in the mortar joint with the thickness caliper 2 as a reference, and then lay the blocks. After the construction of this layer of blocks is completed, take out the thickness caliper 2, separate the mortar joint thickness control device from the basic wall 20, and then reinstall it to the upper wall to be built, and repeat in sequence until the wall is built.

[0049] In this way, the mortar layer can be filled quickly and standardly using the mortar joint thickness control device to ensure uniform mortar joint thickness; the horizontal control line 8 corrects the flatness of the blocks, and the vertical control line 9 corrects the verticality of the masonry wall, replacing manual visual leveling and controlling verticality, solving the common problems of uneven mortar joints and difficulty in controlling wall verticality in wall masonry projects, and is easy to use, greatly improving construction efficiency and quality.

[0050] Embodiment 2: The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that Figure 5 As shown, two sets of limit calipers 7 are also included. The limit calipers 7 are also thin plate structures. A limit groove is provided on one side of the limit calipers 7. The two limit calipers 7 are connected to pull rings 71 on the opposite sides. The limit calipers 7 are arranged horizontally on one side of the mounting seat 1, and are inserted into the upper end of the thickness caliper 2 through the limit groove, and cooperate with the thickness caliper 2 to form a rectangular partition interval;

[0051] When building the wall, the mortar is directly filled in the partition space, which effectively reduces the outflow of mortar and reduces waste. After the layer of blocks is built, the limit caliper 7 is first pulled out, and then the thickness caliper 2 is taken out, and then the above steps are repeated, so that the building process is faster and more convenient.

[0052] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by the patent law.
