Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of flooring installation technology, and more specifically to an auxiliary device for installing solid wood flooring. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, some consumers choose wood flooring, such as solid wood flooring, for home renovation. Solid wood flooring can be fixed using adhesives, screws, and interlocking connections. Since interlocking connections do not require adhesives and do not damage the flooring structure, this method of installation has gradually become mainstream. However, due to factors such as thermal expansion and contraction, some solid wood flooring is difficult to connect manually. Therefore, appropriate auxiliary devices are usually used to improve the efficiency of solid wood flooring installation. However, some current auxiliary equipment for solid wood flooring installation requires stacking the flooring and prioritizing the bottom layer. During the removal process, the flooring can easily get stuck by the top layers, making it difficult to remove and thus affecting the installation efficiency.
[0003] Based on the above, Chinese patent document CN113187205A discloses an auxiliary device for laying wooden flooring, comprising: a movable support, a storage support, an adsorption component, a rotating component, and an impact component. The movable support contains an adjustment component. The adsorption component is slidably connected to the adjustment component via a hook. The rotating component is rotatably mounted above the adsorption component and fixedly connected to the impact component. The storage support has a push-out component on one side and is fixedly connected to the movable support on the other side. By using a suction cup to fix and move the wooden flooring, secondary damage to the flooring from hard tools is avoided. The impact component continuously taps the wooden flooring, ensuring close interlocking between adjacent planks and reducing worker fatigue. The rotating and adjusting components allow for free adjustment of the angle and orientation of the wooden flooring, enabling patterned laying. The push-out component and storage support provide continuous and automatic flooring supply. The movable support and leveling component ensure laying quality.
[0004] In the wood flooring auxiliary installation device disclosed in the aforementioned patent documents, the floorboards are stacked on a storage support. The bottom floorboard is pushed out into a movable support by an ejector component. As the bottom floorboard is pushed out, the stacked floorboards on top slide downwards. The stacked floorboards can easily press against the edge of the bottom floorboard for insertion and connection, causing the floorboard to get stuck and difficult to push out. At this time, the operator usually needs to move the stacked floorboards and push out the bottom floorboard again. The operator needs to spend a lot of time dealing with the stuck floorboards, which can easily affect the efficiency of floor installation. Based on the above defects, this wood flooring auxiliary installation device still has room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following examples, and the present invention relates to the necessary components in this technical field, which should be regarded as well-known technology in this technical field and can be known and mastered by those skilled in this technical field.
[0027] An auxiliary device for installing solid wood flooring includes a board storage mechanism 1 and a transfer mechanism 2. The board storage mechanism 1 includes the following structure: a hollow board storage shell 11; two sets of feeding groups 12 are provided inside the board storage shell 11; a feeding space is formed between the two sets of feeding groups 12; the feeding group 12 is provided with feeding shafts 121 that run through opposite sides inside the board storage shell 11; each feeding shaft 121 is fitted with a support ring 122; and the support ring 122 is provided with a plurality of support rods 123 extending away from the feeding shafts 121. One side of one of the feeding groups 12 is provided with a first driving structure 3 that drives the feeding shaft 121 to rotate. The driving end of the first driving structure 3 is provided with a driving gear 31. The surface of the feeding shaft 121 of the feeding group 12 is provided with a driven gear 32 that meshes with the driving gear 31. One end of the feeding shaft 121 is provided with a transmission structure 4 that enables the feeding shafts 121 in the two feeding groups 12 to rotate synchronously. The feeding shafts 121 in the two feeding groups 12 rotate in opposite directions. The transfer mechanism 2 is located on one side of the storage mechanism 1. The transfer mechanism 2 includes the following structure: a fixed frame 21, a transfer suction cup 22 inside the fixed frame 21, and a translation mechanism 5 for translating the transfer suction cup 22. The storage plate housing 11 has a floor inlet 13 on the side away from the transmission structure 4, which matches the unloading space. The bottom of the storage plate housing 11 has a sliding channel 14 that extends into the inside of the fixed frame 21.
[0028] This invention discloses an auxiliary device for installing and laying solid wood flooring, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The auxiliary device mainly consists of a storage mechanism 1, a transfer mechanism 2, a first drive structure 3, a transmission structure 4, and a translation mechanism 5. The storage mechanism 1 is primarily used to temporarily store the solid wood flooring to be installed. The solid wood flooring is temporarily stored inside the storage shell 11 and supported by the feeding assembly 12. The two feeding assemblies 12 have four support rings 122 located at the four corners inside the storage shell 11. These four support rings 122 support the four corners of the solid wood flooring. A groove for supporting the solid wood flooring is formed between every two adjacent support rods 123 on the surface of each support ring 122. Each corner of the solid wood flooring is placed in a slot on the surface of the adjacent support ring 122, allowing the solid wood flooring to be placed stably inside the storage shell 11. The support rings 122 in the two sets of feeding groups 12 are of the same height and the support rods 123 on the surface of the support rings 122 are distributed in the same way. The four support rings 122 support the solid wood flooring through four slots of the same height located in the feeding space. The solid wood flooring is inserted into the feeding space through the flooring inlet 13. Since there are multiple slots on the surface of the support ring 122 located in the feeding space, the two sets of feeding groups 12 can support multiple pieces of solid wood flooring. The first drive structure 3 preferably adopts a servo motor. When the first drive structure 3 is running, it will cause the drive gear 31 to rotate. Through meshing transmission, the driven gear 32 and the feeding shaft 121 will rotate synchronously. The rotating feeding shaft 121 will drive the support ring 122 and the support rod 123 to rotate, so that the feeding group 12 is in a rotating state. The transmission structure 4 can make the two feeding groups 12 rotate synchronously, and both feeding groups 12 rotate towards the inner feeding space, while the two feeding groups 12 rotate in opposite directions. During the rotation of the two feeding groups 12, the support ring 122 and the support rod 123 will drive the solid wood flooring to move gradually downward. When the support rod 123 at the bottom of the solid wood flooring rotates to a near vertical downward extension, the solid wood flooring will lose the support of the support rod 123 and fall downward into the sliding channel 14. The sliding channel 14 extends downward at an angle into the fixed frame 21, so that the solid wood flooring can slide along the sliding channel 14 into the transfer mechanism 2. It should be noted that both the drive gear 31 and the driven gear 32 are preferably helical gears, so that when the first drive structure 3 and the unloading shaft 121 can be set perpendicular to each other, the first drive structure 3 can make the unloading shaft 121 rotate through the cooperation of the drive gear 31 and the driven gear 32.
[0029] Further, refer to Figure 3 The transmission structure 4 includes a first gear 41 and a second gear 42. The first gear 41 is located at the end of the feeding shaft 121 in one of the feeding groups 12, and the second gear 42 is located at the end of the feeding shaft 121 in another feeding group 12. A third gear 43 and a fourth gear 44 mesh with each other between the first gear 41 and the second gear 42. The third gear 43 meshes with the first gear 41, and the fourth gear 44 meshes with the second gear 42. The first gear 41, the second gear 42, the third gear 43, and the fourth gear 44 are all movably connected to the inner wall of the storage plate shell 11 by shafts. After the transmission structure 4 adopts the above structure, when the first drive structure 3 causes the feeding shaft 121 of one of the feeding areas to rotate, it will drive the first gear 41 or the second gear 42 to rotate. Through the meshing transmission of the third gear 43 and the fourth gear 44, the first gear 41 and the second gear 42 can rotate synchronously, and the first gear 41 and the second gear 42 rotate in opposite directions, so that the two feeding groups 12 rotate in opposite directions.
[0030] Furthermore, the feeding shaft 121 and the two support rings 122 at both ends together form a feeding structure. The feeding group 12 consists of several feeding structures distributed vertically. One end of the feeding shaft 121 is provided with a rotating sprocket 15. The rotating sprockets 15 at the ends of all feeding shafts 121 in the same feeding group 12 are all fitted with rotating chains 16. The feeding group 12 with multiple vertically distributed feeding structures can increase the amount of solid wood flooring that can be stored in the board storage mechanism 1. The number of solid wood flooring that can be stored increases with the number of support rings 122. As the quantity and number of slots increase, the same set of feeding groups 12 preferably has two or more feeding structures. The feeding shafts 121 of different feeding structures in the same set of feeding groups 12 cooperate with each other through rotating sprockets 15 and rotating chains 16, so that the feeding shafts 121 in the same set of feeding groups 12 can rotate synchronously and in the same direction. The solid wood flooring in the storage mechanism 1 will be passed down sequentially between the feeding structures as the feeding group 12 rotates, so that the solid wood flooring falls into the sliding channel 14 one by one and slides into the transfer mechanism 2. Furthermore, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 5 Between any two adjacent sets of feeding structures in the vertical direction, the projections of the support rings 122 in the vertical direction are staggered. The projections of the support rods 123 in adjacent feeding structures in the direction of extension of the feeding shaft 121 will overlap. By staggering the support rings 122 in the vertical direction, the support rods 123 are prevented from colliding with each other during the rotation of the feeding structure. The projections of the support rods 123 on the surface of the support rings 122 in the direction of extension of the feeding shaft 121 are staggered, meaning that any two adjacent sets of feeding structures in the vertical direction are at different rotation angles, causing the support rods 123 to appear staggered on the surface of the support rings 122. With the different surface distribution, the solid wood flooring is less likely to be squeezed or collided by the support rod 123 below during the transfer between adjacent cutting structures, allowing the solid wood flooring to be transferred smoothly between the cutting structures. Between two sets of cutting structures of the same height, the projection of the support rod 123 on the surface of the support ring 122 in the direction of extension of the cutting shaft 121 is consistent. Since the solid wood flooring needs to be supported by two sets of cutting structures of the same height, the distribution of the support rod 123 on the surface of the support ring 122 in the two sets of cutting structures of the same height needs to be consistent to ensure that the solid wood flooring can be placed stably. It should be noted that the included angle between two adjacent support rods 123 on the surface of the support ring 122 is 45°~22.5°, and the included angle between two adjacent support rods 123 is preferably 45°. That is, there are eight support rods 123 on the surface of the support ring 122. Each piece of solid wood flooring needs to rotate 45° to fall into the sliding channel 14. The storage mechanism 1 can be equipped with a button to control the operation of the first drive structure 3. Each time the button is pressed, the first drive structure 3 can drive the feeding shaft 121 to rotate 45°, so that the solid wood flooring in the two feeding groups 12 is passed down one by one. The solid wood flooring will not be stacked or squeezed on each other, avoiding the phenomenon of jamming during the transfer of solid wood flooring. The solid wood flooring can be smoothly passed through the sliding channel 14 and entered the transfer mechanism 2 without operator intervention. It should be further explained that controlling the first drive structure 3 to drive the unloading shaft 121 to rotate 45° each time via the button requires the cooperation of a corresponding control module. This control method has been applied in the prior art and is a common application of the prior art. Those skilled in the art can set up the corresponding control module and implement the control method according to the operating principle of the above control method. This control method is common knowledge to those skilled in the art, so the structure of the control module for implementing the above control method will not be described in detail.
[0031] Further, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 The transfer suction cup 22 is mainly used to install and lay solid wood flooring that slides along the sliding channel 14 into the transfer mechanism 2. The bottom of the transfer suction cup 22 is placed over the surface of the solid wood flooring, and the suction cup screw 224 is rotated to create negative pressure inside the suction cup pad 221, thereby fixing the transfer suction cup 22 to the solid wood flooring. The transfer suction cup 22 includes a suction cup pad 221 and a suction cup outer shell 222 covering the top of the suction cup pad 221. The suction cup pad 221 is preferably made of a material with good elasticity and sealing properties, such as silicone. The bottom of the suction cup housing 222 is fixedly connected to the top edge of the suction cup pad 221. The top of the suction cup housing 222 is provided with an upwardly extending screw tube 223. The top of the screw tube 223 is provided with a suction cup screw 224 that penetrates the suction cup housing 222 and extends to the space between the suction cup housing 222 and the suction cup pad 221. The top of the suction cup pad 221 is provided with a suction cup nut 225 that matches the suction cup screw 224. A limiting sleeve 226 that allows the suction cup screw 224 to rotate is provided between the suction cup housing 222 and the suction cup screw 224. After the transfer suction cup 22 adopts the above structure, when the suction cup screw 224 is rotated, the limiting sleeve 226 acts like a bearing, causing the suction cup screw 224 to rotate in place, preventing it from sliding up and down inside the screw tube 223. At this time, the suction cup screw 224, in cooperation with the suction cup nut 225, pulls the top of the suction cup pad 221, causing the top of the suction cup pad 221 to be stretched upward, creating a negative pressure between the inside of the suction cup pad 221 and the solid wood flooring, thereby adsorbing and fixing the solid wood flooring. After the transfer suction cup 22 adsorbs and fixes the solid wood flooring, the translation mechanism 5 moves the transfer suction cup 22 within the fixed frame 21, moving the solid wood flooring to the position where it needs to be installed and laid. Further, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 The transfer suction cup 22 is provided with an oscillation mechanism 6 at its top. The oscillation mechanism 6 includes the following structure: an oscillation shell 61, which is hollow inside and fits on the surface of the screw tube 223; a first oscillation gear 62 is movably connected inside the oscillation shell 61; the bottom of the first oscillation gear 62 is provided with an arc-shaped oscillation protrusion 63; a second drive structure 64 is provided on one side of the oscillation shell 61 to rotate the first oscillation gear 62; the drive end of the second drive structure 64 is provided with a second oscillation gear 65 that meshes with the first oscillation gear 62; the top of the suction cup shell 222 is provided with several compression springs 66 located inside the oscillation shell 61; the top of the compression springs 66 is provided with compression blocks 67; the top of the compression blocks 67 is arc-shaped and abuts against the oscillation protrusions 63; at least two buffer pad rings 68 are provided between the oscillation shell 61 and the screw tube 223; the inner side of the buffer pad rings 68 surrounds the surface of the screw tube 223, and the outer side is fixedly connected to the oscillation shell 61; the surface of the screw tube 223 is provided with a limiting protrusion 227 located between two adjacent buffer pad rings 68. The vibration mechanism 6 mainly generates vibration by causing the transfer suction cup 22 and the solid wood flooring that is attached and fixed by the transfer suction cup 22. During the installation of solid wood flooring, the solid wood flooring is easy to get stuck when it is inserted into each other, making it difficult to insert. Usually, tools such as hammers are used to help insert the solid wood flooring. However, hammering can easily damage the solid wood flooring. During the insertion process, vibration can loosen the stuck position of the solid wood flooring, so that it can be inserted and fixed smoothly, improving the efficiency of solid wood flooring installation. It should be noted that the second drive structure 64 is preferably a servo motor. When it runs, it will cause the first oscillating gear 62 to rotate, and through meshing transmission, it will cause the second oscillating gear 65 to rotate synchronously. A bearing 69 is provided between the inner side of the second oscillating gear 65 and the inner wall of the oscillating housing 61 to allow the second oscillating gear 65 to rotate. During the rotation of the second oscillating gear 65, the oscillating protrusion 63 at its bottom will collide with several compression blocks 67 in sequence and squeeze the compression spring 66. When the compression spring 66 is compressed and rebounds, it will cause the transfer suction cup 22 to vibrate. In addition, the buffer pad ring 68 is preferably made of elastic material such as rubber. The screw tube 223 at the top of the transfer suction cup 22 is engaged between the two buffer pad rings 68 through the limiting protrusion ring 227 on the surface, so that the transfer suction cup 22 and the oscillating mechanism 6 are fixed to each other. During the vibration of the transfer suction cup 22, the screw tube 223 will squeeze the buffer pad ring 68 and be rebounded by the buffer pad ring 68, so that the transfer suction cup 22 can vibrate to a certain extent.
[0032] Further, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 The top of the oscillating housing 61 is provided with a height adjustment mechanism 7. The height adjustment mechanism 7 includes the following structure: an adjustment rod 71, which has several rods and extends upward from the top of the oscillating housing 61; a hollow adjustment housing 72 is fitted on the surface of the adjustment rod 71; an adjustment gear 73 is movably connected inside one of the adjustment housings 72; an adjustment rack 74 matching the adjustment gear 73 is provided on one side of the adjustment rod 71; an adjustment knob 75 is provided on the axis of the adjustment gear 73 to rotate the adjustment gear 73; the adjustment housing 72 is slidably connected to the translation mechanism 5. The height adjustment mechanism 7 at the top of the vibrating housing 61 is mainly used to move the vibrating mechanism 6 and the transfer suction cup 22 up and down to adjust the height of the solid wood flooring fixed to the transfer suction cup 22. When the height of the solid wood flooring needs to be adjusted, the adjustment knob 75 is rotated to engage the adjustment gear 73 and the adjustment rack 74, causing the adjustment rack 74 to move up and down. The adjustment rack 74 will drive the vibrating mechanism 6 and the transfer suction cup 22 to move synchronously through the adjustment rod 71, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the solid wood flooring. A fixed knob 76 with its end abutting against the surface of the adjustment rod 71 is movably connected to one side of the adjustment housing 72 through a threaded hole. When the height of the solid wood flooring is adjusted to a suitable level, the fixed knob 76 is rotated until its end abuts against the surface of the adjustment rod 71, fixing the adjustment rod 71 to the adjustment housing 72. At this time, the adjustment knob 75 cannot be rotated to adjust the height of the solid wood flooring, which can prevent the adjustment knob 75 or the adjustment gear 73 from rotating spontaneously due to vibration. Furthermore, the translation mechanism 5 includes the following structure: a first slide rail 51, which has two sets located on opposite sides within the fixed frame 21; a second slide rail 52, which runs transversely between the two sets of first slide rails 51; and translation pulleys 53 at both ends of the second slide rail 52 that match the first slide rail 51. The transfer suction cup 22 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 52. The second slide rail 52 is translated along the extension direction of the first slide rail 51 via the translation pulleys 53 at both ends, thereby driving the transfer suction cup 22 to translate along the extension direction of the first slide rail 51. One side of the adjusting housing 72 is sleeved on the surface of the second slide rail 52 through a sleeve, allowing the height adjustment mechanism 7, the vibration mechanism 6, and the transfer suction cup 22 to slide and translate along the extension direction of the second slide rail 52. Since the first slide rail 51 and the second slide rail 52 are perpendicular to each other, the transfer suction cup 22 can be translated horizontally within the fixed frame 21 via the translation mechanism 5, thereby adjusting the position of the solid wood flooring and facilitating its installation.
[0033] Furthermore, both the bottom of the storage board shell 11 and the bottom of the fixed frame 21 are equipped with universal pulleys 8. The universal pulleys 8 allow the auxiliary device to slide in the construction area where the solid wood flooring is installed. The operator can move the auxiliary device between the location where the solid wood flooring is stored and the location where the solid wood flooring is installed by pushing it, without having to move the solid wood flooring or the auxiliary device, thus reducing the operator's labor intensity.
[0034] In summary, this invention discloses an auxiliary device for installing solid wood flooring. This device temporarily stores the solid wood flooring through a storage mechanism 1. The solid wood flooring in the storage mechanism 1 slides one by one through a sliding channel 14 into a transfer mechanism 2. After being fixed by a transfer suction cup 22, its position is adjusted by a translation mechanism 5 for installation. The unloading group 12 in the storage mechanism 1 rotates to sequentially pass the solid wood flooring downwards between support rods 123, allowing it to fall one by one into the sliding channel 14 and slide into the transfer mechanism 2. This avoids the solid wood flooring from being stacked and compressed together, preventing it from getting stuck during the transfer between the storage mechanism 1 and the transfer mechanism 2. The solid wood flooring can be smoothly unloaded and transferred, which helps improve the efficiency of the solid wood flooring installation process.
[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
