[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0022] Example: Figures 1-4 The modular manual bricklaying tool shown includes: A fixing mold; the fixing mold comprises seven regularly arranged mold units 1, each made of aluminum alloy, used to press and fix handmade bricks. A corner baffle 2 is provided at the upper end of each mold unit 1. Several handmade bricks are vertically embedded between adjacent mold units 1. The thickness of each mold unit 1 is consistent with the width of the vertical brick joint, and the thickness of the corner baffle 2 is consistent with the width of the horizontal brick joint, ensuring uniform size of both vertical and horizontal brick joints.

[0023] Two spacing adjustment rods are provided, installed at the top and bottom of the fixed mold pieces respectively. Each spacing adjustment rod includes six retractable sleeves 3 installed between adjacent mold piece units 1. Each sleeve 3 includes an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve, which are movably interlocked. The six sleeves 3 are connected as a whole by an internally penetrating adjusting screw 4. Holes for the adjusting screw 4 to pass through are provided at corresponding positions in the mold piece unit 1. One end of the adjusting screw 4 is connected to an outer mold piece unit 1 via a spring, and the other end extends to the outside of another outer mold piece unit 1 and is connected to an adjusting nut 5. Thus, the spacing between the fixed mold pieces can be adjusted by turning the adjusting nut 5 to compress the spring, according to the width of the handmade brick.

[0024] Two horizontal joint adjustment plates are provided, one on the middle side and the other on the lower side of the fixed template. Each horizontal joint adjustment plate includes a retractable plate body 6. Seven clamping grooves 7 are provided on one side of the plate body 6, each clamping groove 7 onto a corresponding template unit 1. Horizontal joint baffles 8 are provided on both sides of the clamping grooves 7. The thickness of the horizontal joint baffles 8 is consistent with the width of the horizontal brick joint, ensuring that the horizontal brick joint size of the hand-laid bricks within the fixed template is uniform. The plate body 6 comprises several plate units, adjacent plate units being connected by springs that allow for flexible interlocking, thus adjusting to accommodate the spacing of the fixed template.

[0025] Two tile-laying demolding racks are provided, each positioned above a horizontal joint adjustment plate. Each rack includes a retractable U-shaped frame 9 with six feet 10 on its inner end, positioned between corresponding template units 1. The U-shaped frame 9 includes two L-shaped side frames and a straight central frame. The two ends of the central frame are connected to the two L-shaped side frames via springs, allowing for adjustable length of the U-shaped frame 9. The feet 10 are movably connected to the central frame and to the L-shaped side frames via track grooves, facilitating adjustment and disassembly. Both ends of the U-shaped frame 9 have elastic feet 11 with built-in springs, movably connecting to the U-shaped frame 9. Both ends of the U-shaped frame 9 have scale lines 12. Adjacent U-shaped frames 9 on the same side are connected by a vertical frame 20, with a thumb handle 13 on the outer end of the vertical frame 20. In actual operation, the bricks are pressed by the thumb grip 13, and the force is applied by the foot support 10 for installation and demolding. The scale line 12 is used to control the pressing force when laying the bricks to ensure the flatness of the surface.

[0026] There are two handles 14, which are respectively installed on the two outer sides of the fixing mold.

[0027] A fastening rod 15 is located on the lower side of the fixing mold plate. The fastening rod 15 is a telescopic U-shaped structure, comprising two L-shaped side rods and a straight central rod. Both ends of the central rod are movably connected to the two L-shaped side rods to allow for adjustable length. Both ends of the fastening rod 15 are fixedly connected to the two outer mold plate units 1 via slots 16. A fixing seat 17 is provided on the outer side of both ends of the fastening rod 15. A fixing screw 18 extends vertically through the fixing seat 17. The top of the fixing screw 18 is connected to a handle 14, and a fixing nut 19 is provided at the bottom of the fixing screw 18. By tightening the fixing nut 19, the fastening rod 15 is subjected to upward force, further compressing the transverse gaps between the handmade bricks and preventing the bricks from sagging vertically and causing the transverse gaps to widen.

[0028] The construction method in this embodiment includes the following steps: Step 1: Measurement and layout: According to the construction dimensions of the modular hand brick laying tool, mark the joint lines on the wall. The layout dimensions must conform to the brick module to facilitate the adjustment of gaps during laying. Step 2: Preparation of handmade bricks: Handmade bricks are clay bricks. Soak them in water in advance until no more air bubbles appear. After soaking, drain the surface water before laying. Since the size of half of the handmade bricks may vary slightly, select them in advance before construction to avoid inconsistent gap sizes after laying. Step 3: Using the Modular Hand-laid Brick Laying Tool: After assembling the modular hand-laid brick laying tool, lay it flat on a level surface. If necessary, a cement board can be placed underneath. Place the hand-laid bricks into the tool according to the module, and tighten them using the spacing adjustment rod and fastening rod to ensure that the hand-laid bricks do not fall off. Use handle 14 to stand it up and start applying adhesive to the back of the hand-laid bricks. The wall surface also needs to be coated with adhesive before plastering to ensure that the bonding is tight and there are no hollow spots. Hold handle 14 with both hands to lay the bricks. When laying, the fixing plate needs to be aligned with the line position on the wall. Press the thumb buckle 13 with your thumb to lay the bricks. When laying the bricks, make sure that the height of the ruler is consistent to control the flatness of the bricks. The tiling work is carried out in sequence. When tiling in the next step, the modular hand-tiled tile laying tool leaves a vertical row without placing hand-tiled tiles. The reserved position is used to insert the hand-tiled tile from the previous row during tiling. In addition, the reserved length at the bottom of the tool is used to insert into the gaps of the hand-tiled tiles below. This ensures that the overall tiling gaps are uniform, straight, and flat, and improves the visual appearance. Step 4: Curing and Grouting: Water curing should be carried out 12 hours after the handmade tiles are laid. You can use a ladle or other tools to gently sprinkle a layer of water on the handmade tiles. The specific time should be adjusted according to the real-time temperature. The water curing time is about 3 days. After the water has completely evaporated, grouting or sealing treatment should be carried out according to the design requirements.

[0029] The above are merely embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent solutions made using the contents of the present invention specification, whether directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
