Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a tile cutting device, and more particularly to a positioning and guiding aid for tile cutting. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional tile cutting relies primarily on manual hand-held cutting tools, a method with numerous insurmountable drawbacks. Firstly, positioning accuracy is difficult to guarantee. Even slight arm tremors or changes in force when manually pushing the tile can cause it to shift, resulting in a deviation in the cutting trajectory. For tiles requiring straight-line cutting, this deviation often renders the tile unusable, especially when cutting large tiles, where it's difficult to ensure the tile moves in a straight line consistently, leading to highly inconsistent cutting quality. Secondly, the process is cumbersome and inefficient. Before cutting, operators must repeatedly measure the tile's cutting position with a ruler and mark it with a marker. During cutting, the tile's position is constantly adjusted to align with the marked lines—a series of steps that consume significant time and effort. For batch cutting operations, this inefficient method severely impacts construction progress and fails to meet the demands of large-scale projects. Furthermore, the working environment is harsh and poses safety hazards. The cutting process generates large amounts of dust containing silicates, which, when inhaled, can severely damage the lungs. Those working in this environment for extended periods are highly susceptible to respiratory diseases. At the same time, the friction between the high-speed rotating cutting tool and the tile generates high temperature, which not only accelerates the wear of the cutting tool and shortens its service life, but may also cause the tile to crack due to local overheating. The flying fragments pose a serious threat to the safety of the operator.

[0003] Furthermore, traditional cutting methods require highly skilled operators; inexperienced personnel often struggle to precisely control cutting force and speed, resulting in inconsistent cutting quality. These problems have long plagued the tile cutting industry, necessitating a cutting auxiliary device that enables precise positioning, efficient operation, and safety and environmental friendliness. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Purpose of the Invention: The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated positioning and flexible adaptable cutting guide to solve the problems of low positioning accuracy, cumbersome operation, and low efficiency in traditional manual cutting. Another purpose of this invention is to improve the harsh working environment and high safety hazards of traditional cutting operations. By setting a splash guard to prevent cutting debris from flying, the safety of operators is protected.

[0005] Technical solution: A positioning and guiding aid for tile cutting includes a support cavity. A wedge block is fixedly connected to the left side of the support cavity. A sliding groove is symmetrically formed on the outer side wall of the wedge block. A slider is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. A support block is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of each slider. A tile support plate is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the support blocks. A single-axis motor is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support cavity. A rotating column is fixedly connected to the output end of the single-axis motor. A cutting disc is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the rotating column. A cutting groove is integrally formed between the top of the wedge block and the left side of the upper surface of the support cavity.

[0006] Furthermore, a groove is formed on the rear surface of the support cavity, and a dual-axis motor is fixedly connected inside the groove. Each output end of the dual-axis motor is fixedly connected to a long column. The opposite ends of the long columns extend to the outer wall of the support cavity and are fixedly connected to an upper drive wheel. Each outer wall of the wedge block is rotatably connected to a lower drive wheel. A drive belt is wound around the outer walls of adjacent upper and lower drive wheels.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer wall of the transmission belt is fixedly connected with a buckle, and the lower surface of the slider is fixedly connected with a locking block, which engages with the inside of the buckle.

[0008] Furthermore, a splash guard is fixedly connected to the left side of the single-axis motor.

[0009] Furthermore, a spray head is fixedly connected to the right side of the front surface of the splash guard, a water storage chamber is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support cavity, and the output end of the water storage chamber is directly and fixedly connected to the spray head by a water outlet pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the left end of the spray head is fixedly connected to multiple atomizing nozzles.

[0011] Beneficial effects:

[0012] This tile cutting positioning guide exhibits significant advantages in terms of ease of operation and adaptability. Its dual-axis motor drive system, through the coordinated operation of the upper and lower drive wheels and the drive belt, and with the precise engagement of latches and blocks, drives the slider to slide stably along the groove, thereby achieving automated position adjustment of the tile support plate. This design completely changes the traditional method of manually pushing tiles to adjust their position. It not only eliminates the tedious steps of repeated measurement and calibration but also ensures the stability of the tile during movement, effectively preventing tile displacement caused by uneven manual operation, and significantly improving positioning efficiency. Furthermore, the guide has excellent adaptability. The slider can move up and down along the groove of the wedge block, and through the support block, it drives the tile support plate to rise and fall synchronously, easily meeting the cutting needs of tiles of different thicknesses. Whether it's a thin slab of tile or a thick tile several centimeters thick, the most suitable cutting height can be found through simple adjustments, ensuring accurate angle when the cutting disc contacts the tile. This flexible adaptability allows the device to be widely used in various scenarios such as home decoration and construction projects. It eliminates the need for specialized cutting equipment for tiles of different sizes, greatly reducing usage costs and improving equipment utilization.

[0013] This auxiliary device also excels in operational safety and environmental friendliness. During cutting, the splash guard completely encloses the cutting disc, effectively preventing debris from flying everywhere. In traditional cutting operations, the high-speed rotating cutting tool causes tile fragments to fly in all directions, easily cutting the operator's skin or damaging their eyes. The splash guard design provides a solid safety barrier for operators, significantly reducing the probability of accidents. Regarding dust and temperature control, the auxiliary device's water storage chamber, water outlet pipe, spray head, and atomizing nozzles form a highly efficient cooling and dust suppression system. Water from the storage chamber is delivered to the spray head through the water outlet pipe, where it is atomized into a fine mist that directly acts on the cutting area. The water mist not only quickly reduces the temperature at the contact point between the cutting disc and the tile, preventing accelerated wear of the cutting disc due to high temperatures and extending its service life, but also effectively traps the dust generated during cutting, preventing it from spreading into the air. This design effectively improves the environmental quality of cutting operations, reduces the harm of dust to the operator's respiratory system, and meets the environmental and health requirements of modern construction.

[0019] To make the technical solution of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] Example

[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a positioning and guiding aid for cutting tiles is provided, including a support cavity 1. A wedge block 2 is fixedly connected to the left side of the support cavity 1. A sliding groove 3 is symmetrically opened on the outer side wall of the wedge block 2. A slider 4 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 3. A support block 5 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the slider 4. A tile support plate 6 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the support block 5. A single-axis motor 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support cavity 1. A rotating column 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the single-axis motor 7. A cutting disc 9 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the rotating column 8. A cutting groove 10 is integrally formed between the top of the wedge block 2 and the left side of the upper surface of the support cavity 1. A splash guard 19 is fixedly connected to the left side of the single-axis motor 7. A spray head 20 is fixedly connected to the right side of the front surface of the splash guard 19. A water storage cavity 23 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support cavity 1. A water outlet pipe 21 is directly fixedly connected to the output end of the water storage cavity 23 and the spray head 20. Multiple atomizing nozzles 22 are fixedly connected to the left end of the spray head 20.

[0022] When cutting tiles, first place the tile flat on the tile support plate 6 and push the tile to align the edge to be cut with the cutting groove 10. Depending on the tile thickness, the slider 4 can slide along the groove 3 of the wedge block 2, causing the support block 5 and the tile support plate 6 to move up and down, adjusting the tile height to suit the cutting requirements. Start the single-axis motor 7, whose output drives the rotating column 8 and the cutting disc 9 to rotate at high speed. Slowly push the tile support plate 6 to move the tile along the cutting groove 10 towards the cutting disc 9. After the cutting disc 9 contacts the tile, the cutting operation begins. During the cutting process, water in the water storage chamber 23 is transported to the spray head 20 through the water outlet pipe 21, and then forms a water mist through multiple atomizing nozzles 22 to reduce dust and cool the cutting area. The splash guard 19 prevents debris from splashing during cutting, ensuring operational safety. After cutting is complete, turn off the single-axis motor 7 and wait for the cutting disc 9 to stop rotating before removing the cut tile.

[0023] In this embodiment, a groove 11 is provided on the rear surface of the support cavity 1. A dual-axis motor 12 is fixedly connected inside the groove 11. A long column 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the dual-axis motor 12. The opposite ends of the long columns 13 extend to the outer side wall of the support cavity 1 and are fixedly connected to the upper drive wheel 14. The outer side wall of the wedge block 2 is rotatably connected to the lower drive wheel 15. A drive belt 16 is wound around the outer side wall of the adjacent upper drive wheel 14 and lower drive wheel 15. A buckle 17 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the drive belt 16. A locking block 18 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the slider 4. The locking block 18 and the buckle 17 are engaged internally.

[0024] When adjusting the size of the tile, the dual-axis motor 12 installed inside the groove 11 on the rear surface of the support cavity 1 is started. After the dual-axis motor 12 is started, its output ends will drive the long column 13 to rotate. Since the opposite ends of the long column 13 extend to the outer wall of the support cavity 1 and are fixedly connected to the upper transmission wheel 14, the upper transmission wheel 14 will rotate together with the long column 13. At the same time as the upper transmission wheel 14 rotates, the lower transmission wheel 15, which is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the wedge block 2, is connected by a transmission belt 16. The upper transmission wheel 14 will drive the transmission belt 16 to rotate, thereby causing the lower transmission wheel 15 to rotate as well, forming a stable transmission mechanism. As the transmission belt 16 rotates, the buckle 17 fixedly connected to its outer wall will move together with the transmission belt 16. At this time, the locking block 18 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the slider 4 will engage with the inside of the buckle 17. Driven by the buckle 17, the locking block 18 will move accordingly, thereby driving the slider 4 to move. When the slider 4 moves, it will drive the associated components to move accordingly, thereby achieving the positioning and guidance of the tile and providing precise position guidance for tile cutting. The position of the support plate 6 can be adjusted to adapt to tiles of different sizes, ensuring the smooth progress of the cutting work.

[0025] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
