Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tile paving, and in particular to a tile auxiliary paving device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the current engineering and home decoration ceramic tile industry, more and more large-sized and irregular-sized ceramic tiles are used in life. The laying of large ceramic tiles requires a lot of manpower.

[0003] At present, the maximum size of existing tiles laid manually by a single person is generally within the range of 1500mm×700mm. Tiles with larger sizes require multiple people to lay them at the same time. If the number of people is not properly coordinated, the tiles will be damaged due to uneven force during laying, and the corresponding laying accuracy requirements cannot be achieved.

[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need for a tile auxiliary paving device to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a device for auxiliary laying of ceramic tiles, aiming to solve the problem that uneven force is easily applied during the existing manual laying of ceramic tiles, resulting in cracks and damage of ceramic tiles, affecting the laying effect of ceramic tiles and causing waste of resources. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0006] A tile auxiliary paving device comprises a base, a hanging rope retracting and releasing device, running wheels arranged on the bottom surface of the base, and a lifting assembly arranged on the base;

[0007] The lifting assembly includes two sets of lifting units, both of which are slidably arranged on the base;

[0008] The lifting unit includes a lifting rope, a movable pulley, a suction cup, a column, a Y-direction lifting arm and a fixed pulley. The lower end of the column is slidably set in the X-direction slideway of the base, the Y-direction lifting arm is set on the column, the fixed pulley is set at the end of the Y-direction lifting arm close to the column, and the movable pulley is set at the end of the Y-direction lifting arm away from the column. The movable pulley can be adjusted in the Y direction; one end of the lifting rope is connected to the lifting rope retracting device, and the other end thereof passes through the fixed pulley and the movable pulley in sequence and then connects to the suction cup. The suction cup is moved in the Z direction by winding or releasing the lifting rope through the lifting rope retracting device.

[0009] Preferably, the Y-direction boom is provided with a Y-direction slide groove, and an indicator scale is provided on the Y-direction boom along the Y-direction. The movable pulley is slidably arranged in the Y-direction slide groove and is limited by a locking assembly, thereby realizing position adjustment of the movable pulley in the Y-direction.

[0010] Alternatively, the Y-direction boom is a telescopic structure, and the position of the movable pulley in the Y direction is adjusted by telescoping the Y-direction boom. The Y-direction boom is provided with an indicating scale indicating the length of the Y-direction boom after telescoping.

[0011] Preferably, in the above technical solution, a sliding base is provided at the lower end of the column, and the sliding base is slidably arranged in an X-direction slideway; and the X-direction slideway is provided with scale lines along the X direction.

[0012] Preferably, in the above technical solutions, the column is driven to move along the X-direction slideway by a driving mechanism; or, the column is pushed to move along the X-direction slideway by manpower.

[0013] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the lifting rope retracting and releasing device includes a motor, an axle and an axle support, one end of the axle is connected to the motor, and the other end is rotatably connected to the axle support, and the axle is used for winding the lifting rope.

[0014] Preferably, in the above technical solution, when two suction cups in a set of lifting assemblies are collinear in the Y-axis direction or the X-axis direction, a height difference is set between the two suction cups in the Z-axis direction to achieve laying of a single tile in an inclined state.

[0015] Preferably, in the above technical solutions, the rope retracting and releasing device and the lifting unit are arranged one-to-one, or a single set of rope retracting and releasing devices corresponds to multiple sets of lifting units.

[0016] Preferably, in the above technical solution, at least two groups of lifting assemblies are provided along the X direction; and a single tile is lifted and laid by at least one group of lifting assemblies.

[0017] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the position of the lifting assembly corresponding to two adjacent tiles is adjusted in the X direction to adjust the paving gap between the two adjacent tiles.

[0018] The preferred technical solution above is that when multiple groups of lifting components cooperate to lift a tile, the suction cups are divided into two non-collinear groups and the suction cups in the two groups are symmetrically arranged according to the same center line of the tile. The two groups of suction cups are set with a height difference in the Z-axis direction to achieve the tile being laid in an inclined state.

[0019] The application of the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The auxiliary paving device of the present invention realizes inclined paving of tiles (i.e., paving the tiles at an angle to the horizontal plane) by adjusting the positions of the suction cups in the X, Y and Z directions; at the same time, multiple suction cups are used to adsorb the tiles, so that the tiles can be evenly stressed and accurately installed during the installation process; it can effectively replace the process of manual paving in which tiles are moved and laid by hand, thereby improving construction efficiency and reducing damage rate.

[0021] Multiple sets of lifting components are arranged on the base, which can take into account the needs of laying a single tile and laying multiple tiles at the same time. The laying gap between adjacent tiles can be accurately adjusted according to the scale line to control the laying accuracy of the tiles. The use of the auxiliary laying device of the present invention can solve the problem that large tiles require the cooperation of multiple people to lay them, thereby reducing the labor cost of laying large tiles.

[0031] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully below, along with preferred embodiments thereof. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of the present invention.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used in this specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 , a tile auxiliary paving device, comprising a base 1, a rope retracting device, a running wheel 9 arranged on the bottom surface of the base 1 and a lifting component arranged on the upper surface of the base 1;

[0035] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes two sets of lifting units, and both sets of lifting units are slidably arranged on the base 1;

[0036] See also Figure 1 The lifting unit includes a lifting rope 3, a movable pulley 5, a suction cup 6, a column 7, a Y-direction lifting arm 11 and a fixed pulley 16. The column 7 is vertically arranged along the Z direction, and the lower end of the column 7 is slidably arranged in the X-direction slide 14 of the base 1. The Y-direction lifting arm 11 is arranged on the column 7. The fixed pulley 16 is arranged at the end of the Y-direction lifting arm 11 close to the column 7. The movable pulley 5 is arranged at the end of the Y-direction lifting arm 11 away from the column 7. The movable pulley 5 can be adjusted in the Y direction; one end of the lifting rope 3 is connected to the lifting rope retracting device, and the other end thereof passes through the fixed pulley 16 and the movable pulley 5 in sequence and then is connected to the suction cup 6. The lifting rope 3 is reeled in or released by the lifting rope retracting device to realize the movement of the suction cup 6 in the Z direction.

[0037] Preferably, the running wheel 9 is a universal wheel, which can facilitate the auxiliary paving device to move and turn, so that the tiles can be installed in the specified correct position; preferably, it is a universal wheel with a brake.

[0038] This embodiment provides two ways to adjust the position of the movable pulley 5 in the Y direction:

[0039] The Y-direction boom 11 is provided with a Y-direction slot 4, in which the movable pulley 5 is slidably arranged and limited by a locking assembly, thereby enabling the movable pulley 5 to be adjusted in the Y direction. Specifically, waist-shaped mounting holes are provided on the walls on both sides of the Y-direction slot 4, and the movable pulley 5 is arranged between the Y-direction slot 4. The ends of the mounting shaft on the movable pulley 5 are respectively passed through the waist-shaped mounting holes on both sides, and then nuts are used to lock the ends of the mounting shaft to the Y-direction boom. Furthermore, an indicator scale is provided along the Y direction on the Y-direction boom 11, which is used to accurately adjust the position of the movable pulley 5 in the Y direction.

[0040] In addition, the Y-direction boom 11 may be a telescopic structure, and the position of the movable pulley 5 in the Y direction may be adjusted by extending and retracting the Y-direction boom 11. For details of the telescopic structure, please refer to the prior art, and it may be a telescopic sleeve structure, such as a telescopic rod. Furthermore, the Y-direction boom 11 is provided with an indicator scale indicating the length of the Y-direction boom 11 after extension and retraction. The indicator scale may be set on the movable part of the telescopic structure (e.g., when the telescopic section and the fixed section are telescopically sleeved, the indicator scale is set on the surface of the telescopic section). The indicator scale facilitates accurate adjustment of the position of the movable pulley 5 in the Y direction.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the X, Y, and Z directions are perpendicular to each other. The tile-laying auxiliary device in this embodiment slides along the X-direction slideway 14 via the upright column 7, enabling the Y-direction boom 11 and suction cup 6 to move together along the X-direction. The position of the suction cup can be adjusted in the Y-direction by the movable pulley 5. The suction cup can be adjusted in the Y-direction by retracting or releasing the suspension rope by the rope retraction and release device, allowing the suction cup to move in the Z-direction while adhering to the tile 15. By adjusting the suction cup's position in the X and Y directions, the two suction cups are ensured to be in the proper position for adsorbing the tile, preventing uneven force on the tile.

[0042] Preferably, a sliding base 8 is provided at the lower end of the column 7, and the sliding base 8 is slidably set in the X-direction slide 14; the X-direction slide 14 is provided with scale lines 12 along the X direction, and the scale lines are used to indicate the position of the sliding base (i.e., the suction cup) in the X direction, providing a reference basis for adjusting the X-direction position of the suction cup.

[0043] Furthermore, the sliding base 8 at the lower end of the column 7 can be driven by a drive mechanism to achieve movement along the X-axis slideway; the drive mechanism can be a combination of a lead screw, a lead screw nut, and a motor, wherein the lead screw is rotatably arranged in the X-axis slideway and one end is connected to the motor, and then the lead screw nut is connected to the sliding base 8. Of course, those skilled in the art can also adopt other linear motion drive mechanisms (such as oil cylinder or air cylinder drive, or gear, rack and motor drive), and those skilled in the art can make improvements based on the actual structural design.

[0044] In addition, the sliding base 8 can also be pushed manually in the X-direction slide 14. After being pushed to a suitable position, a limit locking device can be provided as needed. The limit locking device can be: a bolt is provided on the sliding base 8, and after the bolt is tightened, it presses against the X-direction slide, thereby limiting the position of the sliding base in the X-direction slide. Of course, those skilled in the art can also adopt other structural forms of limit locking devices.

[0045] See also Figure 2The rope retracting and releasing device includes a motor 2, an axle 10 and an axle support 13. One end of the axle 10 is connected to the motor 2, and the other end is rotatably connected to the axle support 13. The axle 10 is used to wind the rope 3.

[0046] In this embodiment, there are two possible installation methods for the rope retracting and releasing device: the first is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the rope retracting device is arranged on the base 1 (that is, the motor and the axle support are both arranged on the base). This arrangement requires that the position of the suction cup in the X, Y, and Z directions be adjusted to the desired position each time, and then the rope be manually wound onto the axle 10. Under this installation method, it is possible to achieve two sets of lifting units sharing one rope retracting device, thereby reducing the cost of the device. The second method is to set the rope retracting device and the lifting unit one-to-one, and to set the rope retracting device on the corresponding sliding base 8 (that is, the motor and the axle support are arranged on the sliding base 8). Under this method, the rope retracting device can move with the sliding base 8. After each adjustment of the suction cup in the X, Y, and Z directions, there is no need to manually wind the rope onto the axle. The position of each suction cup in the Z direction can be individually controlled by the rope retracting device.

[0047] In this embodiment, two groups of lifting units share one X-direction slideway 14 . In some embodiments, each group of lifting units may use one X-direction slideway 14 separately.

[0048] When each lifting unit uses an X-direction slideway 14 alone, the two suction cups are adjusted to be collinear in the Y-axis direction or the X-axis direction, and the height difference between the two suction cups is set in the Z-axis direction, so that the tiles can be laid in an inclined state, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 It should be noted that if the two suction cups need to be collinear in the Y-axis direction, the lengths of the two Y-direction arms should be inconsistent in the Y-direction, and the heights of the two Y-direction arms in the Z-direction should also be inconsistent, otherwise interference will occur.

[0049] When two sets of lifting units share one X-direction slideway 14, it is only possible to adjust the two suction cups to be collinear along the X-direction, such as Figure 2 As shown, after the height difference between the two suction cups is set in the Z direction, the tiles can be tilted in the X direction, thereby achieving tilted paving of the tiles.

[0050] The auxiliary paving device of this embodiment can achieve inclined paving of tiles (i.e., paving the tiles at an angle to the horizontal plane) by adjusting the position of the suction cup in the X, Y and Z directions. At the same time, it can ensure that the tiles are evenly stressed and accurately installed during the installation process. It can effectively replace the process of manual paving in which tiles are moved and laid by hand, thereby improving construction efficiency and reducing damage rate.

[0051] Example 2:

[0052] The only difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: at least two groups of lifting assemblies are provided along the X direction; a single tile 15 is lifted and laid by at least one group of lifting assemblies, that is, a single tile can be lifted and laid by one group of lifting assemblies, or by two or more groups of lifting assemblies; that is, the auxiliary paving device in this embodiment can lift more than two tiles at the same time, or can lift only one tile; Figure 5 The figure shows two sets of lifting components working together to lift a tile. Figure 6 What is shown is that two sets of lifting components lift one tile respectively.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the auxiliary paving device lifts two or more tiles at the same time, the position of the lifting assembly corresponding to the two adjacent tiles 15 is adjusted in the X direction to adjust the paving gap between the two adjacent tiles. The gap can be adjusted according to the indication of the scale line 12.

[0054] Furthermore, when multiple lifting assemblies cooperate to lift a tile 15, the suction cups are divided into two non-collinear groups and the suction cups in the two groups are symmetrically arranged according to the same center line of the tile (the center line of the tile refers to the longitudinal center line or the transverse center line of the tile), such as Figure 5 As shown, the two sets of suction cups are provided with a height difference in the Z-axis direction so that the tiles can be laid in an inclined state.

[0055] When a set of lifting components lifts a tile, the two suction cups in the lifting components are adjusted to be collinear in the Y-axis direction or the X-axis direction, and the two suction cups are set with a height difference in the Z-axis direction to achieve a single tile being laid in an inclined state.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rope retracting device and the lifting unit can be set one-to-one, or a single rope retracting device can correspond to multiple lifting units. If a single rope retracting device corresponds to multiple lifting units, considering the need for tilted laying of tiles, the ropes corresponding to the same set of suction cups can be connected to the same rope retracting device, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0057] The foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
