Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0017] Example: An adjustable-length flexible track tile cutting tool, configured as follows... Figure 1-6 As shown, it includes: The fixed base 1 has a flexible rail 2 on one side, and a tensioning seat 3 that can move and be locked relative to it on the flexible rail 2. There are two flexible rails 2, and a tile cutting mechanism is provided on the flexible rail 2 between the fixed base 1 and the tensioning seat 3.

[0018] The fixing base 1 includes a first base body 1.1. A laser level 1.2 is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the first base body 1.1. Mounting plates 1.3 for fixing the flexible rail 2 are provided on both sides of the laser level 1.2. Multiple sets of screws 1.4 for fixing are provided in the mounting plates 1.3. A power supply box 1.5 is provided on one horizontal side of the first base body 1.1, and a cutter storage rack 1.6 is provided on the other side of the first base body 1.1. The cutter storage rack 1.6 includes a horizontally arranged mounting plate 1.61. A placement groove 1.62 is provided in the middle of the mounting plate 1.61. The surface is provided with scale lines, and a clamping mechanism is provided under the cutter storage rack 1.6. The clamping mechanism includes a guide seat 1.7 located on the lower side of the cutter storage rack 1.6. The upper end surface of the guide seat 1.7 decreases in height along the direction away from the first base 1.1. A clamping block 1.8 is provided on one side of the guide seat 1.7. An adjusting screw 1.9 passing through the first base 1.1 is provided in the middle of the clamping block 1.8. Telescopic rods 1.10 are provided on both sides of the adjusting screw 1.9. A vertically arranged guide groove 1.11 corresponding to the adjusting screw 1.9 and the telescopic rods 1.10 is provided in the first base 1.1.

[0019] The tensioning seat 3 includes a second seat body 3.1. The lower side of the second seat body 3.1 is provided with a clamping mechanism. The upper side of the second seat body 3.1 is provided with a pressure plate clamp 3.2 corresponding to the flexible rail 2. The lower side of the pressure plate clamp 3.2 is provided with a dovetail block 3.3. The second seat body 3.1 is provided with a dovetail groove 3.4 corresponding to the dovetail block 3.3, and the dovetail groove 3.4 is aligned with the length direction of the flexible rail 2. One side of the pressure plate clamp 3.2 is provided with a tensioning screw 3.5 fixed in the second seat body 3.1. The pressure plate clamp 3.2 includes a lower clamp 3.21. The lower clamp 3.21 is provided with a slot 3.22 corresponding to the flexible rail 2. One end of the lower clamp 3.21 is provided with an upper clamp 3.23 that can rotate relative to the lower clamp 3.21. The other end of the lower clamp 3.21 is provided with a first locking hole. The end of the upper clamp 3.23 is provided with a second locking hole corresponding to the first locking hole.

[0020] The tile cutting mechanism includes an upper base 4.1 and a lower base 4.2. The upper base 4.1 has a cutter mounting seat 4.3 in the middle. The cutter mounting seat 4.3 has a handle 4.4 that can rotate relative to the cutter mounting seat 4.3. The handle 4.4 has a cutter 4.5 that passes through the upper base 4.1 and the lower base 4.2. There are two sets of flexible rail channels 4.6 between the upper base 4.1 and the lower base 4.2, which are located on both sides of the cutter 4.5. V-shaped bearings 4.7 are provided on both sides of the flexible rail channels 4.6 for guiding and limiting the flexible rails 4.8. The lower base 4.2 has a brake 4.8 on its lower side.

[0021] In use, the clamping mechanism fixes the fixing seat 1 and the tensioning seat 3 to the ceramic tile or other reference seat. During fixing, the adjusting screw 1.9 is rotated in the direction of the screw-in clamping block 1.8, so that the exposed length of the adjusting screw 1.9 is relatively reduced, thereby moving the clamping block 1.8 closer to the first seat 1.1. Since the upper end face of the guide seat 1.7 is inclined, the clamping block 1.8 will move obliquely upward along the guide seat 1.7, which cooperates with the cutter storage rack 1.6 or the second seat 3.1 to achieve installation. At the same time, the pressure plate clamp 3.2 on the tensioning seat 3 is in an unlocked state, and the soft rail 2 can pass through the slot 3.22, straighten the soft rail 2, and achieve clamping of the soft rail 2 by rotating the upper clamp 3.23 relative to the lower clamp 3.21. The lower clamp 3.21 is provided with a slot 3.22, and the lower part of the upper clamp 3.23 is provided with a pressure block corresponding to the slot 3.22, and is locked by fasteners passing through the first locking hole and the second locking hole. If the flexible rail is found to be insufficiently tight, the tensioning screw 3.5 can be rotated to allow the pressure plate clamp 3.2 to move through the cooperation of the dovetail block 3.3 and the dovetail groove 3.4, further tightening the flexible rail. A laser level 1.2 is installed on the first base for marking. The user can push the cutter 4.5 to cut the tile using the handle. The V-bearing 4.7 guides and limits the movement relative to the flexible rail, making the tile cutting mechanism move more smoothly along the flexible rail 2. Compared to conventional rigid metal rails, this application has the advantages of being lighter and easier to carry.
