Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building construction technology, and in particular to a device for controlling the alignment of brick mortar joints. Background Technology

[0002] In the development of construction engineering, wall and floor tile installation is the most superficial and intuitive process. The quality of wall and floor tile installation directly affects the appearance of the building, and even plays a decisive role. The aesthetics of tile alignment have gradually become a focus of attention for construction teams. In a single project, there are generally several different wall and floor tile layouts.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN111021742A discloses a device and method for paving bricks, including a joint crossbar, a straightener, a wire puller, and a wire laying device. During the construction of the paving base, a grid is laid out and the wire laying device is fixed. The wire puller is used to stretch the wire for laying, and the wire is straightened by rotating the shaft. The joint crossbar is used to separate the bricks at the junctions of every four paving stones. The straightener is used to control the flatness of the paving between adjacent stones. After the straightener is installed, it is firmly fixed with a stopper plate. This improved construction method effectively controls the uniformity and straightness of the paving joints and the flatness of the paving surface, ensuring the quality of the paving construction. At the same time, the construction method is simple and easy to operate, ensuring both construction quality and improving construction efficiency.

[0004] In the aforementioned existing technical solution, a cross-shaped locator is placed vertically on the edge of the brick before laying the second brick. This method results in increasingly larger errors due to inaccurate placement of the cross-shaped locator each time. Therefore, calibration is required every time the cross-shaped locator is placed, making the tile laying process cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention proposes a device for controlling the alignment of paving joints. During construction, the positioning pads on the adjacent two sides of the device are first attached to the adjacent two sides of the first tile, and then the second tile is attached to the positioning pads on the other two sides of the device. The device is then tamped and fixed with a rubber mallet. The device is then removed, and without needing to readjust the focal position, it is directly attached to the adjacent two sides of the second tile for the second paving.

[0006] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this invention is as follows: a device for controlling the alignment of brick paving joints, comprising a positioning frame, the positioning frame being a hollow rectangular plate, wherein positioning grooves are provided on the top wall of the positioning frame near the four side walls (front, back, left, and right), and positioning components are provided inside the four positioning grooves, wherein the positioning components include positioning screws located inside the positioning grooves, a positioning turntable is fixedly installed on the top wall of the positioning screw, a positioning rod is threadedly installed on the bottom wall of the positioning screw, and a positioning pad is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the positioning rod.

[0007] In some embodiments, the positioning frame is provided with an adjustment component, which includes four adjustment slots. The four adjustment slots are respectively opened on the front, back, left and right sides of the top wall of the positioning frame. The inner sidewall of the adjustment slot is provided with an installation slot. Multiple installation slots on the adjustment slot are respectively located on both sides of the positioning slot. The adjustment slot is provided with two retraction rods respectively located on both sides of the positioning slot. The two ends of the retraction rods are slidably installed in the adjacent installation slots.

[0008] In some embodiments, the adjustment assembly further includes an adjustment spring disposed inside the mounting groove, with its two ends fixedly connected to the corresponding sidewalls inside the mounting groove and on the retraction rod, respectively.

[0009] In some embodiments, the adjustment assembly further includes four adjustment brackets, which are respectively fixedly installed at the four corners inside the positioning frame.

[0010] In some embodiments, the top of the adjustment frame is provided with an adjustment rod and a fixing rod, and a connecting rope is fixedly connected to the side wall of each of the four fixing rods. The end of the connecting rope away from the fixing rod is wrapped around the side wall of the adjacent adjustment rod.

[0011] In some embodiments, the fixing rod is fixedly installed on the top wall of the adjusting frame, the adjusting rod is rotatably installed on the top wall of the adjusting frame, and the adjusting rods and fixing rods on two adjacent adjusting frames are distributed crosswise.

[0012] In some embodiments, the positioning frame is provided with a locking component, which includes a locking groove formed on the top wall of the adjustment frame, the bottom end of the adjustment rod is located inside the locking groove, a plurality of locking plates are fixedly installed circumferentially on the inner side wall of the locking groove, and a plurality of shrinkage grooves are formed circumferentially on the side wall of the adjustment rod, and a movable plate is slidably connected inside the shrinkage groove.

[0013] In some embodiments, the locking plate has a triangular cross-section, the movable plate has a trapezoidal cross-section, and the inclined side wall of the movable plate corresponds to the inclined side wall of the locking plate.

[0014] In some embodiments, a shrinkage spring is provided inside the shrinkage groove, and the two ends of the shrinkage spring are fixedly connected to the inner interior of the shrinkage groove and the corresponding side wall of the movable plate, respectively.

[0015] In some embodiments, the locking assembly further includes a return spring, which is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the locking groove, and the top end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the adjusting rod.

[0016] The significant advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are:

[0017] Firstly, this invention allows for a simpler installation process. During construction, the positioning pads on adjacent sides of the device are attached to the adjacent sides of the first tile. Then, the second tile is attached to the positioning pads on the other two sides of the device, and tamped down with a rubber mallet to secure it. The device is then removed, and without needing to readjust the focal point, it is directly attached to the adjacent sides of the second tile for the second installation. Because the positions of the four positioning pads in the jointing device are fixed according to the layout diagram, no secondary operation is required to install the tiles according to the layout diagram, thus solving the problem of cumbersome tile laying processes in existing systems.

[0018] Secondly, in this invention, when the adjusting rod is rotated, the inclined side walls of the movable plate and the locking plate fit together, causing the locking plate to push the movable plate back into the shrinkage groove, which facilitates the rotation of the adjusting rod. As a result, the connecting rope is wrapped around the side wall of the adjusting rod. By shortening the length of the connecting rope, the shrinkage rod is retracted into the installation groove, and the overall size of the positioning frame is adjusted, which is convenient for adjustment according to the actual size of the tile.

[0019] Thirdly, in this invention, because the inclined side walls of the movable plate and the locking plate are in contact with each other, the horizontal side wall of the movable plate is in contact with the horizontal side wall of the adjacent locking plate, making it impossible for the adjusting rod to rotate and ensuring the stability of the adjusting rod's position.

[0020] Fourthly, this invention utilizes the elasticity of the return spring to support the adjusting rod. Because the adjusting rod is retractable, it can slide downwards, allowing the movable plate to be offset from the locking plate. This facilitates the rotation of the adjusting rod, extending the connecting rope outwards and restoring the positioning frame to its original size. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] This invention provides an improved device for controlling the alignment of tiling joints. The technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a device for controlling the alignment of paving joints includes a positioning frame 1, which is a hollow rectangular plate. Positioning grooves 2 are provided on the top wall of the positioning frame 1 near the four side walls (front, back, left, and right). Positioning components 3 are installed inside each of the four positioning grooves 2. Each positioning component 3 includes a positioning screw 32 located inside the positioning groove 2. A positioning turntable 31 is fixedly installed on the top wall of the positioning screw 32. A positioning rod 33 is threaded onto the bottom wall of the positioning screw 32. A positioning pad 34 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the positioning rod 33. By threading the positioning rod 33 to the bottom of the positioning screw 32, the positioning pad 34 can be easily engaged at the bottom of the positioning frame 1. The positioning pad 34 is preferably threaded onto the bottom end of the positioning rod 33, allowing for adjustment of its thickness according to actual needs.

[0035] The specific working method is as follows: Before laying the wall and floor tiles, fix the four positioning pads 34 on the positioning frame 1 to the predetermined positions according to the layout drawing; during construction, first attach the positioning pads 34 on the adjacent two sides of the device to the adjacent two sides of the first tile, then attach the second tile to the positioning pads 34 on the other two sides of the device, and tamp and fix it with a rubber mallet; remove the device, and without readjusting the focus position, directly attach it to the adjacent two sides of the second tile for the second installation. Because the positions of the four positioning pads 34 of the joint device are fixed according to the layout drawing, no secondary operation is required to lay the tiles according to the layout drawing.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] Based on Example 1, please refer to Figures 3-4 The positioning frame 1 is equipped with an adjustment component 4, which includes four adjustment slots 41. The four adjustment slots 41 are respectively opened on the front, back, left and right sides of the top wall of the positioning frame 1. The inner side wall of the adjustment slot 41 is provided with an installation slot 42. The multiple installation slots 42 on the adjustment slot 41 are respectively located on both sides of the positioning slot 2. The adjustment slot 41 is equipped with two retraction rods 43 respectively located on both sides of the positioning slot 2. The two ends of the retraction rods 43 are slidably installed in the adjacent installation slots 42. By dividing the positioning frame 1 into multiple parts by the adjustment slots 41, and then movably connecting the multiple positioning frames 1 by the retraction rods 43, the positioning frame 1 can be adjusted according to the actual size of the tile.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, in Embodiment 2, in order to facilitate the restoration of the original size of the positioning frame 1, the adjustment assembly 4 also includes an adjustment spring 44. The adjustment spring 44 is disposed inside the mounting groove 42, and the two ends of the adjustment spring 44 are fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting groove 42 and the corresponding side wall on the retraction rod 43, respectively. By using the elasticity of the adjustment spring 44 to push the retraction rod 43 to extend outward, or by using the reaction force of the elasticity of the adjustment spring 44, the positioning frame 1 extends away from the end of the retraction rod 43.

[0039] like Figures 3-5As shown in Embodiment 2, to facilitate adjustment of the size of the positioning frame 1, the adjustment assembly 4 further includes four adjustment brackets 45, which are respectively fixedly installed at the four corners inside the positioning frame 1. By fixing the adjustment brackets 45 at the corners inside the positioning frame 1, the positioning frame 1 is reinforced, giving it sufficient strength. An adjustment rod 46 and a fixing rod 48 are provided on the top of the adjustment bracket 45. The fixing rod 48 is fixedly installed on the top wall of the adjustment bracket 45, and the adjustment rod 46 is rotatably installed on the top wall of the adjustment bracket 45. Furthermore, the adjusting rods 46 and fixed rods 48 on the two adjacent adjusting frames 45 are distributed in a crisscross pattern. Connecting ropes 47 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the four fixed rods 48. The four connecting ropes 47 are distributed in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction depending on the placement of the fixed rods 48. The end of the connecting rope 47 away from the fixed rod 48 is wrapped around the side wall of the adjacent adjusting rod 46. By rotating the adjusting rod 46, the connecting rope 47 is wrapped around the side wall of the adjusting rod 46, shortening the length of the connecting rope 47, causing the positioning frame 1 to shrink, and adjusting the size of the positioning frame 1.

[0040] like Figures 3-7 As shown in Embodiment 2, to ensure the stability of the position of the adjusting rod 46, a locking component 5 is provided inside the positioning frame 1. The locking component 5 includes a locking groove 51 formed on the top wall of the adjusting frame 45. The bottom end of the adjusting rod 46 is located inside the locking groove 51. Multiple locking plates 55 are fixedly installed circumferentially on the inner side wall of the locking groove 51. The cross-section of the locking plates 55 is triangular. Multiple shrinkage grooves 52 are formed circumferentially on the side wall of the adjusting rod 46. A movable plate 53 is slidably connected inside the shrinkage groove 52. The cross-section of the movable plate 53 is trapezoidal. The inclined side wall of the movable plate 53 corresponds to the inclined side wall of the locking plates 55. When the adjusting rod 46 rotates, the inclined side wall of the movable plate 53 and the locking plates 55 are in contact. The movable plate 53 can retract into the shrinkage groove 52; a shrinkage spring 54 is provided inside the shrinkage groove 52, and the two ends of the shrinkage spring 54 are fixedly connected to the inner interior of the shrinkage groove 52 and the corresponding side wall on the movable plate 53, respectively; the elasticity of the shrinkage spring 54 can push the movable plate 53 to extend outward; by rotating the adjusting rod 46, the inclined side wall of the movable plate 53 and the locking plate 55 are made to fit together, so that the locking plate 55 pushes the movable plate 53 to retract into the shrinkage groove 52, which facilitates the rotation of the adjusting rod 46. The connecting rope 47 is wrapped around the side wall of the adjusting rod 46, and the horizontal side wall of the movable plate 53 is fitted with the horizontal side wall of the adjacent locking plate 55, so that the adjusting rod 46 cannot rotate, ensuring the stability of the position of the adjusting rod 46.

[0041] like Figure 5As shown, in Embodiment 2, to facilitate the extension of the connecting rope 47 on the adjusting rod 46, the locking assembly 5 also includes a return spring 56. The return spring 56 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall inside the locking groove 51, and the top end of the return spring 56 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the adjusting rod 46. The elasticity of the return spring 56 supports the adjusting rod 46. By supporting the adjusting rod 46 with the return spring 56, the adjusting rod 46 can slide downward, which facilitates the misalignment of the movable plate 53 and the locking plate 55, and facilitates the rotation of the adjusting rod 46 to extend the connecting rope 47 outward.

[0042] The specific working method is as follows: When the adjusting rod 46 is rotated, the inclined side walls of the movable plate 53 and the locking plate 55 are in contact with each other, causing the locking plate 55 to push the movable plate 53 back into the shrinkage groove 52, facilitating the rotation of the adjusting rod 46. This allows the connecting rope 47 to wrap around the side wall of the adjusting rod 46. Furthermore, the horizontal side wall of the movable plate 53 is in contact with the horizontal side wall of the adjacent locking plate 55, preventing the adjusting rod 46 from rotating back and ensuring the stability of the adjusting rod 46's position. This allows the connecting rope 47 to wrap around the side wall of the adjusting rod 46. On the side wall of the section rod 46, by shortening the length of the connecting rope 47, the retractable rod 43 is retracted into the mounting groove 42, adjusting the overall size of the positioning frame 1. This allows for easy adjustment according to the actual size of the tile. The elasticity of the return spring 56 supports the adjusting rod 46. Because the adjusting rod 46 is retractable, it can slide downwards. Therefore, the movable plate 53 can be offset from the locking plate 55, facilitating the rotation of the adjusting rod 46 to extend the connecting rope 47 outwards, thus restoring the positioning frame 1 to its original size.
