[0001] This invention relates to the field of decoration tools technology, and in particular to a layout tool and layout method for decoration projects. Background Technology

[0002] During the construction of decoration projects, complex curves, such as arcs, Beziers curves and other complex irregular shapes, often appear at the inside and outside corners. How to measure and lay out these types of lines on the ground, walls or ceilings often troubles the workers on the construction site and reduces the efficiency of construction.

[0003] Therefore, existing technologies for decoration engineering construction suffer from the technical problem of being unable to lay out the inside and outside corners, resulting in low construction efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a layout tool and layout method for decoration engineering, which solves the technical problem that the existing technology cannot lay out the inside and outside corners during the construction of decoration engineering, resulting in low construction efficiency.

[0005] Some implementation schemes for solving the above-mentioned technical problems include:

[0006] In a first aspect, a layout tool for decorative engineering includes layout components;

[0007] The layout assembly includes an outer ring, which contacts the wall surface to be laid out.

[0008] The outer ring is rotatably connected to the inner ring;

[0009] A marker, fixed to the inner ring, is used to form a marker line at a target location.

[0010] Preferably, the outer ring is rotatably connected to the inner ring, and there are several balls. The balls are evenly distributed between the inner ring and the outer ring along the circumferential direction of the inner ring. A retainer is also provided between the inner ring and the outer ring to prevent two adjacent balls from contacting each other. Both the inner ring and the outer ring are provided with raceways, and a portion of the balls is located in the raceways.

[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the inner ring protrudes beyond the lower end of the outer ring, and a roller is provided at the lower end of the inner ring, the roller being rotatably connected to the inner ring.

[0012] Preferably, the inner ring is provided with a through hole for mounting the marker, the marker is slidably connected to the through hole, and the inner ring is also provided with a pushing component for pushing the marker to contact the target position.

[0013] Preferably, the pushing assembly includes a slide rod arranged along the axial direction of the through hole, the slide rod being slidably provided with a slide plate that pushes the marker, and the slide rod being provided with an elastic element that pushes the slide plate to push the marker.

[0014] Preferably, the slide bar is also provided with a baffle, one end of the elastic element contacts the baffle, and the other end of the elastic element contacts the slide plate.

[0015] Preferably, the layout tool for the decoration project also includes a track assembly, the layout assembly being slidably connected to the track assembly via a slide block, the track assembly including a guide rail, the guide rail being provided with correction rods for correcting the positional relationship between the guide rail and the wall to be laid out, and the correction rods being at least two.

[0016] Preferably, the track assembly further includes a retainer for fixing the position of the guide rail, and the retainer is provided at both ends of the guide rail.

[0017] Preferably, the slide includes a seat body slidably connected to the guide rail, a guide rod slidably disposed on the seat body, the layout component fixed to one end of the guide rod, and an elastic device disposed between the seat body and the guide rod to push the guide rod to make the outer ring contact the wall surface to be laid out;

[0018] The guide rod is provided with a positioning piece, the inner ring is fixed to the positioning piece, and a horizontal plate is also provided at the end of the guide rod away from the layout component. The horizontal plate and the guide plate are an integral structure. One end of the elastic is fixed to the horizontal plate, and the other end of the elastic is fixed to the base.

[0019] In a second aspect, a layout method for decorative engineering, using the layout tool for decorative engineering described in the first aspect, includes the following steps:

[0020] Determine the wall surface to be laid out;

[0021] Place the target material to be laid out along the laying-out trajectory of the wall surface to be laid out;

[0022] The position of the guide rail is determined using the correction rods, wherein all the correction rods are in contact with the same plane of the wall surface to be laid out, and the outer ring is in contact with the wall surface to be laid out;

[0023] The guide rail is fixed using the fixture.

[0024] The sliding seat is moved along the direction of the guide rail, so that the marker of the lofting component forms a lofting trajectory on the target material.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0026] 1. The layout component includes an outer ring and an inner ring. The outer ring contacts the wall to be laid out, and the inner ring is equipped with a marker. When laying out at the target position, the layout component can be easily pushed to move along the wall to be laid out. The marker can then complete the layout at the target position, that is, the marker can draw a line at the target position, which facilitates the subsequent processing of the target material at the target position, improves the layout accuracy, and thus improves the construction efficiency.

[0027] 2. The inner ring and outer ring are rotatably connected. When the layout component moves along the wall surface to be laid out, the outer ring and the wall surface to be laid out are in rolling friction, which effectively prevents the outer ring from damaging the wall surface to be laid out.

[0028] 3. By fixing the marker to the inner ring, the marker will not rotate during the displacement of the layout component, thus enabling the marker to form a clear marking line at the target position. Attached Figure Description

[0041] The specific embodiments shown below are intended to describe various configurations of the subject matter of the invention and are not intended to represent the only configuration in which the subject matter of the invention can be practiced. The specific embodiments include particular details intended to provide a thorough understanding of the subject matter of the invention. However, it will be clear and apparent to those skilled in the art that the subject matter of the invention is not limited to the specific details shown herein and can be practiced without these specific details.

[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in a first aspect, a layout tool for decorative engineering includes a layout component 1;

[0043] The layout assembly 1 includes an outer ring 11, which contacts the wall surface to be laid out;

[0044] Inner ring 12, the outer ring 11 is rotatably connected to the inner ring 12;

[0045] The marker 13 is fixed to the inner ring 12 and is used to form a marker line at the target position.

[0046] The marker 13 can be an erasable marking tool such as a pencil or chalk. Typically, the marker 13 is made of a pencil.

[0047] The smaller the diameter of the outer ring 11, the higher the layout accuracy. Therefore, in practice, the outer ring 11 can be selected with the smallest possible diameter. However, when the radius of the inside and outside corners is large, a larger outer ring 11 can be used first.

[0048] Generally, the diameter of the outer ring 11 should not be greater than half the diameter of the inside and outside corners.

[0049] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer ring 11 is rotatably connected to the inner ring 12 by a rolling element. There are a plurality of balls 14, which are evenly distributed between the inner ring 12 and the outer ring 11 along the circumferential direction of the inner ring 12. A retainer is also provided between the inner ring 12 and the outer ring 11 to prevent two adjacent balls 14 from contacting each other. Both the inner ring 12 and the outer ring 11 are provided with raceways, and a portion of the balls 14 are located within the raceways.

[0050] The outer ring 11 and the inner ring 12 can form a structure similar to a bearing. The space inside the inner ring 12 is used to install the marker 13.

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the lower end of the marker 13, positioned relative to the target location, serves to support the inner ring 12. However, since the lower end of the marker 13 is typically quite sharp, this support makes it difficult to maintain the balance of the inner ring 12. In actual layout processes, the inner ring 12 and outer ring 11 usually need to be balanced to improve layout accuracy. Therefore, the lower end of the inner ring 12 protrudes beyond the lower end of the outer ring 11, and a roller 121 is provided at the lower end of the inner ring 12, rotatably connected to the inner ring 12. The roller 121 at the lower end of the inner ring 12 contacts the target location. The roller 121 can be spherical, allowing it to rotate in any direction to further improve layout accuracy. A mounting groove can be provided at the lower end of the inner ring 12, with its diameter matching the diameter of the roller 121. The depth of the mounting groove can be greater than the radius of the roller 121. A thermal assembly method can be used during assembly.

[0052] In some embodiments, the marker 13 should have a reasonable pre-pressure with the target position so that the marker 13 can form a clear marking line at the target position. The inner ring 12 is provided with a through hole for mounting the marker 13, and the marker 13 is slidably connected to the through hole. The inner ring 12 is also provided with a pushing component 15 for pushing the marker 13 to contact the target position.

[0053] The pushing assembly 15 includes a slide rod 151 arranged along the axial direction of the through hole. The slide rod 151 is slidably equipped with a sliding plate 152 that pushes the marker 13. The slide rod 151 is provided with an elastic element 153 that pushes the sliding plate 152 to push the marker 13. The elastic element 153 can be a spring.

[0054] The slide bar 151 is also provided with a baffle 154. One end of the elastic element 153 contacts the baffle 154, and the other end of the elastic element 153 contacts the slide plate 152. When installing the marker 13, the force of the elastic element 153 is overcome, and the slide plate 152 is brought close to the baffle 154. Then, the marker 13 is installed on the inner ring 12. The slide plate 152 is released, and under the action of the elastic element 153, the slide plate 152 contacts one end of the marker 13, so that the marker 13 can effectively contact the target position.

[0055] Since the elastic element 153 can produce a certain elastic deformation, even if the marker 13 is worn or broken, the marker 13 can still correctly contact the target position and form a marking line under the action of the elastic element 153.

[0056] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, during the manual displacement of the layout component 1, the marking line may be misaligned due to shaking or misoperation. In actual layout, the misoperation of the layout component 1 should be minimized. For this reason, the layout tool for the decoration project also includes a track component 2. The layout component 1 is slidably connected to the track component 2 via a slide block 21. The track component 2 includes a guide rail 22. The guide rail 22 is provided with a correction rod 221 to correct the positional relationship between the guide rail 22 and the wall to be laid out. There are at least two correction rods 221.

[0057] At least two alignment rods 221 are in contact with one of the planes of the wall to be laid out, so that the guide rail 22 is generally parallel or approximately parallel to the wall to improve the laying out accuracy. The alignment rods 221 can be an integral part of the guide rail 22, or they can be welded to the guide rail 22. The alignment rods 221 and the guide rail 22 should not be fixed by a detachable connection to prevent increased positional error of the guide rail 22 due to tilting of the alignment rods 221 and the guide rail 22. The cross-sectional shape of the guide rail 22 can be polygonal to give it greater bending strength.

[0058] In some embodiments, the track assembly 2 further includes a retainer 23 for fixing the position of the guide rail 22, and the retainer 23 is provided at both ends of the guide rail 22.

[0059] The fixture 23 can be a suction cup or other structure with a fixing function. It is used to fix the guide rail 22 in the target position and prevent the guide rail 22 from shifting during the layout process.

[0060] In some embodiments, the slide block 21 includes a seat body 211 slidably connected to the guide rail 22. The seat body 211 has a sliding hole that cooperates with the guide rail 22. A guide rod 212 is slidably disposed on the seat body 211. The layout assembly 1 is fixed to one end of the guide rod 212. An elastic element 213 is disposed between the seat body 211 and the guide rod 212 to push the guide rod 212 to make the outer ring 11 contact the wall surface to be laid out. The elastic element 213 can be a spring.

[0061] The guide rod 212 is provided with a positioning piece 214, which is an integral structure with the guide rod 212. The inner ring 12 is fixed to the positioning piece 214 and can be welded to the positioning piece 214. A horizontal plate 215 is also provided at the end of the guide rod 212 away from the layout assembly 1. The horizontal plate 215 is an integral structure with the guide plate. One end of the elastic element 213 is fixed to the horizontal plate 215, and the other end of the elastic element 213 is fixed to the base 211.

[0062] In a second aspect, a layout method for decorative engineering, using the layout tool for decorative engineering described in the first aspect, includes the following steps:

[0063] Determine the wall surface to be laid out;

[0064] Place the target material to be laid out along the laying-out trajectory of the wall surface to be laid out;

[0065] The position of the guide rail 22 is determined by the correction rod 221, wherein all the correction rods 221 are in contact with the same plane of the wall to be laid out, and the outer ring 11 is in contact with the wall to be laid out;

[0066] The guide rail 22 is fixed using the fixture 23.

[0067] The slide block 21 is pushed to move along the direction of the guide rail 22, so that the marker 13 of the lofting component 1 forms a lofting trajectory on the target material.

[0068] Reference Figures 5 to 6 As shown, here is a specific application example;

[0069] Let the wall surface 100 to be laid out be a vertical plane perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the target position be the upper surface of the floor 200. Laying out refers to using the marker 13 to form a trajectory line parallel to the wall surface to be laid out on the upper surface of the floor.

[0070] First, place the guide rail 22 next to the wall to be laid out. Then, make the correction rod 221 contact a plane area of ​​the wall to be laid out. Use the fixing device 23 to fix the guide rail 22. At the same time, make the outer ring 11 contact the wall to be laid out correctly, and the elastic device 213 will produce a certain elastic deformation.

[0071] Then, the marker 13 is installed into the inner ring 12 according to the aforementioned installation method. The marker 13 can be a pencil or chalk.

[0072] Finally, by pushing the slide block 21, the marker 13 will form a layout line parallel to the wall to be laid out on the upper surface of the floor. The layout line is also known as the trajectory line.

[0073] The technical solution of the present invention and its corresponding details have been described above. It is understood that the above description is only some implementation schemes of the technical solution of the present invention, and some details may be omitted in the specific implementation.

[0074] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the above invention, multiple embodiments may be combined; however, due to space limitations, all such combinations will not be listed here. Those skilled in the art can freely combine and implement the above embodiments according to their needs to obtain a better application experience.

[0075] When implementing the subject matter of this invention, those skilled in the art can obtain other detailed configurations or drawings based on the subject matter and drawings. Obviously, these details are still within the scope of the subject matter of this invention without departing from it.
