Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building engineering, specifically to an adaptive adjustment auxiliary device for calibrating and installing horizontally aligned ceramic tiles. Background Technology

[0002] An adaptive tile leveling and alignment installation aid is an intelligent tool or device designed to simplify the tile laying process and improve laying accuracy and efficiency. Its core objective is to solve the problems of difficulty in manual leveling and alignment, and reliance on worker experience, in traditional tile laying.

[0003] Most current installation aids are leveling devices that can only adjust the vertical height of the tiles. Different tile sizes have different markings and different pre-reserved gaps. Currently, most of these adjustments are made manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, the inventor urgently needs to invent an installation aid that makes it easier to adjust the width of the pre-reserved gaps in the tiles. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an adaptive adjustment tile leveling and installation auxiliary device to solve the technical problem of inconvenience in adjusting the width of the left and right gaps between tiles.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adaptive adjustment tile leveling and installation auxiliary device, comprising an auxiliary device and a tile. The auxiliary device includes a fixed rod, a connecting bolt fixedly connected to the lower side of the fixed rod, a nut threadedly connected to the outer side of the connecting bolt, a connecting plate installed below the nut, a connecting rod connected below the connecting bolt, a limiting rod installed below the connecting rod, and two through slots formed on the fixed rod, with a left limiting plate and a right limiting plate respectively passing through the two through slots.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the auxiliary device provides a stable support structure for the horizontal calibration and installation of tiles through a combination of components such as fixing rods and connecting bolts. The fixing rod, as the main support frame, can ensure the stability of the entire device during use, so that subsequent calibration and installation work can be carried out in a relatively stable environment.

[0007] Furthermore, the connecting bolt is threaded to the connecting plate, located at the center of the lower surface of the connecting plate, and is fixedly connected to the connecting rod.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded connection design between the connecting bolt and the center of the connecting plate ensures the axial symmetry of force transmission. When the height is adjusted by rotating the nut, the connecting rod is subjected to a completely vertical thrust, avoiding the risk of tile tilting caused by the traditional eccentric structure, and fundamentally ensuring the levelness of the tile.

[0009] Furthermore, rectangular friction blocks are installed at equal intervals around the outer side of the nut.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the rectangular friction blocks on the outside of the nut are distributed circumferentially. By increasing the roughness of the contact surface, the controllability of manual operation is significantly improved. Construction personnel can apply force stably in construction environments with water or dust, avoiding the problem of traditional smooth nuts slipping and causing adjustment failure.

[0011] Furthermore, the nut drives the connecting rod and the limiting rod, which are fixedly connected to the connecting bolt, to move up and down to adjust the height.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the thread drive of the nut and bolt directly drives the rigid lifting and lowering of the connecting rod, achieving millimeter-level precise displacement. Compared with the traditional coarse adjustment method of stacking shims, this structure can continuously adjust the height of the limit rod in real time, so that the tile can respond instantly to the level test results during the laying process.

[0013] Furthermore, the left and right limiting plates are arranged in a rectangular staggered pattern.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the rectangular staggered arrangement of the left and right limiting plates forms a spatial staggered limiting system, which achieves three-point constraint on the adjacent corners of the tile. Compared with the symmetrical limiting structure, this design can actively compensate for the tile cutting error.

[0015] Furthermore, the limiting rod is installed at the center of the connecting rod and is designed as an integral structure.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the coaxial design of the limiting rod and the connecting rod ensures that the pressure transmission path is minimized. When bearing the weight of the tile, the stress is evenly diffused along the axis to the entire rod body, eliminating the slight deformation caused by local bending moment.

[0017] Furthermore, the left and right limiting plates are available in two, but not limited to, width dimensions to accommodate the width requirements between adjacent tiles.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solutions, the modular design of multi-specification limiting plates breaks through the limitations of traditional fixed sizes. By equipping limiting plates of different widths, construction workers can freely combine them according to the actual thickness of the tiles and the laying plan, providing customized support for complex scenarios such as stone mosaics and irregular patterns.

[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0020] This invention replaces the traditional shim stacking design with an integrated lifting mechanism, reducing the time spent on repeated adjustments. The left and right limiting plates, which pass through the groove of the fixing rod, are staggered to form an asymmetrical constraint force field. When multiple tiles are laid side by side, the width of the gap between adjacent tiles can be quickly matched by changing the limiting plates. The staggered layout further disperses the pressure at a single point, preventing tile displacement. The rectangular friction block enhances the controllability of manual operation and ensures the stability of adjustment in humid construction environments. The integrated structure of the limiting rod and the connecting rod at the center eliminates assembly gaps, ensuring vertical pressure transmission. The entire device achieves horizontal calibration and gap control in one installation through mechanical linkage, reducing the construction error rate and shortening the construction period.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0027] In this example:

[0028] An adaptive adjustment tile leveling calibration installation aid, such as Figure 1-4As shown, the device includes an auxiliary device 1 and a tile 11. The auxiliary device 1 includes a fixed rod 2, with a connecting bolt 3 fixedly connected to the lower side of the fixed rod 2. A nut 4 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the connecting bolt 3, and a connecting plate 6 is installed on the lower side of the nut 4. A connecting rod 7 is connected below the connecting bolt 3, and a limiting rod 8 is installed on the lower side of the connecting rod 7. A through groove 12 is opened on the fixed rod 2, and a left limiting plate 9 and a right limiting plate 10 are respectively inserted through the two through grooves 12. This auxiliary device provides a stable support structure for the horizontal calibration and installation of the tile through a series of components such as the fixed rod and the connecting bolt. The fixed rod, as the main support frame, can ensure the stability of the entire device during use, so that subsequent calibration and installation work can be carried out in a relatively stable environment. The through groove and the limiting plate design realizes flexible adjustment in multiple directions. The free movement of the left and right limiting plates in the through groove can adapt to the installation needs of tiles of different sizes. By sliding and adjusting the lateral position of the limiting plates, the gap width between the tiles can be precisely controlled, eliminating the error of traditional manual positioning. This dynamic adaptation mechanism significantly reduces the complexity of construction.

[0029] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 The connecting bolt 3 is threadedly connected to the connecting plate 6, located at the center of the lower surface of the connecting plate 6 and fixedly connected to the connecting rod 7. The threaded connection design of the connecting bolt at the center of the connecting plate ensures the axial symmetry of force transmission. When the height is adjusted by rotating the nut, the connecting rod is subjected to a completely vertical thrust, avoiding the risk of tile tilting caused by the traditional eccentric structure, and fundamentally ensuring the levelness of the tiles. The fixed connection between the connecting rod and the bolt forms a rigid integral structure, ensuring that the limit rod maintains a stable trajectory during the lifting process. This design can effectively suppress the vibration and deformation of the device when subjected to the weight of the tiles or construction impacts, providing a reliable mechanical basis for high-precision leveling.

[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 Rectangular friction blocks 5 are installed equidistantly on the outer side of the nut 4. The rectangular friction blocks on the outer side of the nut are equidistantly distributed on the circumference. By increasing the roughness of the contact surface, the manual operation is significantly improved. Construction personnel can apply force stably in construction environments with water or dust, avoiding the problem of traditional smooth nuts slipping and causing adjustment failure. The raised structure of the friction blocks forms a multi-point resistance barrier. After the device is adjusted, it can resist the small vibrations during the mortar curing process, prevent the nut from loosening due to external disturbances, and ensure the maintenance rate of the calibration state throughout the curing process.

[0031] See Figure 4Nut 4 drives the connecting rod 7 and the limiting rod 8, which are fixedly connected to the connecting bolt 3, to move up and down to adjust the height. The threaded transmission of the nut and bolt directly drives the rigid lifting and lowering of the connecting rod, achieving millimeter-level precise displacement. Compared with the traditional coarse adjustment method of stacking shims, this structure can continuously adjust the height of the limiting rod in real time. When the tile is laid, it responds instantly to the level test results. The integrated kinematic chain design makes the connecting rod, limiting rod and bolt move vertically synchronously, completely eliminating the gap error caused by multi-stage transmission. It can still maintain linear lifting accuracy when carrying large-format tiles, meeting the stringent requirements of modern large-format tile surface flatness.

[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The left limiting plate 9 and the right limiting plate 10 are arranged in a rectangular staggered arrangement. The rectangular staggered arrangement of the left and right limiting plates forms a spatial staggered limiting system, which achieves three-point constraint on the adjacent corners of the tile. Compared with the symmetrical limiting structure, this design can actively compensate for the cutting error of the tile. The staggered structure separates the force support points of the two limiting plates, disperses the lateral pressure of the tile, and effectively avoids the device displacement caused by single-point overload during the operation of vibrating and pressing mortar, ensuring the continuity of the seam when multiple tiles are laid continuously.

[0033] See Figure 4 The limiting rod 8 is installed at the center of the connecting rod 7 and is designed as a single unit. The coaxial design of the limiting rod and the connecting rod ensures the shortest pressure transmission path. When bearing the weight of the tile, the stress is evenly diffused along the axis to the entire rod body, eliminating the slight deformation caused by local bending moments. The integrated molding structure completely eliminates assembly gaps, and the accuracy range during the fine-tuning stage of horizontal calibration can achieve hysteresis-free response. This characteristic is particularly important for materials such as ultra-thin rock slabs that are sensitive to the undulations of the base layer, and can avoid secondary errors caused by the elastic deformation of the device itself.

[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The left limiting plate 9 and the right limiting plate 10 are available in two, but not limited, width sizes to accommodate the width requirements between adjacent tiles 11. The modular design of the multi-specification limiting plates breaks through the limitations of traditional fixed sizes. By equipping limiting plates of different widths, construction workers can freely combine them according to the actual thickness of the tiles and the paving plan, providing customized support for complex scenarios such as stone mosaics and irregular patterns. The mixed use of wide and narrow limiting plates can achieve stepped staggered joint control. When laying special patterns such as herringbone or chevron patterns, limiting plates of different widths can create differentiated gap reference surfaces, avoiding the insufficient adaptability of traditional fixtures to complex paving methods and significantly improving the upper limit of precision for decorative paving.

[0035] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the device is working, the auxiliary device 1 is first placed across the joint of the adjacent tiles 11 to be laid, so that the fixing rod 2 spans across the gap. The operator presses down the left limiting plate 9 and the right limiting plate 10, so that they pass vertically through the through groove 12 on the fixing rod 2 and abut against the tile surface, ensuring that the width of the limiting plate matches the target gap size. Then, the nut 4 is rotated, and the rectangular friction blocks 5 evenly distributed on its outer side increase the friction of the operator's hand, making the rotation more effortless and precise. When the nut 4 rotates and rises along the outer thread of the connecting bolt 3, it pushes the connecting plate 6 below to move synchronously. Since the connecting bolt 3 is vertically fixed to the lower side of the fixing rod 2 and its bottom end is fixedly connected to the center of the connecting rod 7, the rotational movement of the nut 4 is converted into the axial displacement of the connecting rod 7. At this time, the limiting rod 8 rises and falls vertically with the end of the connecting rod 7. The lower end face of the limiting rod 8 contacts the tile surface to form a support reference. When the nut 4 is rotated to raise the limiting rod 8, the tile 11 is lifted synchronously. Reverse rotation lowers the support height, thereby adjusting the flatness of the tile laying in real time.
