[0033] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding the present invention, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an integrated tile cutter, including a mounting frame 2, a cutting device 3, an adjusting device 4, a slitting device 6, and a transmission device 5; wherein, the mounting frame 2 includes a base 21, a rotating shaft 23 vertically arranged and rotatably connected to the top of the base 21, and two side plates 22 fixedly installed on the base 21 and symmetrically arranged with respect to the rotating shaft 23; the cutting device 3 is used to cut the tile body 1, and the cutting device 3 includes a movable frame 31 adjustablely arranged on one of the side plates 22 and a cutter 32 arranged at the bottom of the movable frame 31; the adjusting device 4 is used to adjust the position of the movable frame 31 to realize the position adjustment of the cutting device 3, and the adjusting device 4 includes a rotating rod 41 rotatably arranged on the rotating shaft 23 at the end opposite to the base 21 about a longitudinal axis, one end of the rotating rod 41 is fixedly installed with a pressing block 42, and the top of the movable frame 31 has a top groove 3101 for the pressing block 42 to be engaged, and through the cooperation of the pressing block 42 and the top groove 3101, the following can be achieved:

[0035] When the rotating rod 41 rotates along the longitudinal axis, it can apply vertical pressure to the moving frame 31 to drive the moving frame 31 to slide vertically, thereby making the vertical position of the moving frame 31 adjustable; and when the rotating rod 41 swings horizontally with the rotation of the rotating shaft 23, it can apply a horizontal force to the moving frame 31 to drive the moving frame 31 to swing horizontally, thereby making the horizontal position of the moving frame 31 adjustable.

[0036] Furthermore, the slicing device 6 is used to slice the cut tile body 1. The slicing device 6 includes two clamping plates 61 for holding the two slices. The two clamping plates 61 are symmetrically arranged in the lateral direction relative to the cutter 32 and are movably disposed below the base 21. The transmission device 5 is used to drive the two clamping plates 61 to move relative to each other to slice the cut tile body 1. The transmission device 5 includes a bevel gear 51 coaxially mounted on the rotating shaft 23 and two arc-shaped racks corresponding to the two clamping plates 61 and slidably mounted on the two side plates 22. The two arc-shaped racks are symmetrically arranged relative to the bevel gear 51 and are both meshed with the bevel gear 51. The two arc-shaped racks are fixedly connected to the corresponding clamping plates 61. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the mounting frame 2 provides stable support for the entire slicing device, reducing the difficulty of slicing the tile body 1.

[0037] During operation, according to the required cutting dimensions of the tile body 1, the lines to be cut are drawn on the tile body 1. Then, the marking plate 11 is placed at the marking line on the upper end of the tile body 1. Next, the slicing device 6 is placed on the marking plate 11. Pressing the adjusting device 4 moves the cutting device 3 up and down on the mounting frame 2, aligning the cutting device 3 with the marking line on the upper end of the tile body 1. Then, the cutting device 3 is pushed to move on the tile body 1 to cut at the marked line. After cutting, the slicing device 6 is inserted into the side of the tile body 1, aligning the cutting device 3 with the cutting line of the tile body 1. Then, the adjusting device 4 is rotated, causing the transmission device 5 to drive the slicing device 6 along the mounting frame 2. The rotating mechanism separates the ceramic tile held in the slitting device 6 into pieces. The slitting device 6 can simultaneously apply lateral and downward forces to the two pieces to be separated, while also supporting the cut ceramic tile body 1 to prevent damage from impact when it falls. By setting this slitting device, the cutting position can be precisely adjusted to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the cutting. When the ceramic tile body 1 is separated, the slitting device 6 provides support and buffering for the ceramic tile body 1, effectively preventing damage from impact when it falls. This not only improves the efficiency and quality of ceramic tile processing but also reduces the difficulty of operation, and has broad application prospects and significant social and economic benefits.

[0038] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, the movable frame 31 is provided with a mounting groove, in which a side plate 22 is inserted. An elastic element 33, which can extend and retract along the longitudinal axis, is provided within the mounting groove. The first end of the elastic element 33 is fixedly connected to the top of one of the side plates 22, and the second end is used to abut against the top wall of the mounting groove. The elastic element 33 is made of a damped spring or an elastic pad. Preferably, in this embodiment, a pin is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove, which is arranged laterally, and the cutter 32 is rotatably connected to the pin.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the side plate 22 is provided with a longitudinal groove 2202 for the movable frame 31 to slide in the second direction. It should be noted that the movable frame 31 can slide smoothly along the groove 2202 on one of the side plates 22, providing a stable cutting path for the cutter 32, thereby ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the cutting. The sliding design of the movable frame 31 on the side plate 22 allows the position of the cutter 32 to be easily adjusted as needed, thereby adapting to the cutting of tile bodies 1 of different sizes and shapes. The cutter 32 is rotatably set at the lower end of the movable frame 31. When the adjusting device 4 pushes the movable frame 31 to move on the tile body 1, the cutter 32 cuts the tile body 1. The elastic element 33 can easily drive the movable frame 31 and the cutter 32 to reset.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a mounting post 24 is coaxially connected to the end of the rotating shaft 23 facing away from the base 21. The top of the mounting post 24 is provided with a socket for inserting the connecting rotating rod 41. A connecting shaft 241 arranged horizontally is provided in the socket, and the connecting shaft 241 passes through the rotating rod 41 and is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 41. It should be noted that in this embodiment, a handle 43 is fixedly installed at the other end of the rotating rod 41. Through the handle 43, the user can easily rotate the rotating rod 41 in the horizontal or vertical direction. When the handle 43 is lifted (i.e., the rotating rod 41 rotates around the longitudinal axis), the pressing block 42 moves and moves downward, abutting against the inside of the top groove 3101 at the top of the moving frame 31, and applying downward pressure to the moving frame 31. This allows the moving frame 31 to slide relative to one of the side plates 22, thereby achieving precise control of the position of the moving frame 31. On this basis, by rotating the rotating rod 41 (the purpose of this operation is to achieve fine adjustment of the rotation angle of the rotating rod 42), the rotating rod 41 swings in the horizontal direction, thereby driving the moving frame 31 to swing in the horizontal direction, thereby achieving adjustment of the horizontal position. That is, the user can precisely adjust the position of the cutter 32 to meet the cutting needs of different sized ceramic tile bodies 1. The connecting shaft 241 provides stable support for the rotating rod 41, ensuring the stability of the rotating rod 41 during rotation.

[0041] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in this embodiment, the two arc-shaped racks are a second arc-shaped rack 53 disposed on one side plate 22 and a first arc-shaped rack 52 disposed on the other side plate 22. The first arc-shaped rack 52 and the second arc-shaped rack 53 have the same shape. The bevel gear 51 is coaxially sleeved and installed on the outer periphery of the mounting column 24. By rotating the rotating shaft 23 in the first direction, the bevel gear 51 is driven to rotate. Through the symmetrically arranged first arc-shaped rack 52 and second arc-shaped rack 53, the first arc-shaped rack 52 and the second arc-shaped rack 53 move in opposite directions, thereby realizing the relative movement of the two clamping plates 61. It should be noted that in this embodiment, two moving blocks 521 are fixedly installed on the side of the first arc-shaped rack 52 and the second arc-shaped rack 53 near the corresponding side plate 22, and two moving grooves 2201 are respectively opened on the two side plates 22 for the corresponding moving blocks 521 to slide. In specific operation, first, the rotating rod 41 is rotated around the longitudinal axis. The pressing block 42 is inserted into the top groove 3101 and applies vertical downward pressure to the moving frame 31. At the same time, the handle 43 moves the entire opening device forward so that the cutter 32 cuts and scribing the tile body 1. Then, while maintaining the downward pressure, the rotating rod 41 swings left and right (i.e., horizontally) around the rotating axis 13. On the one hand, the cutter 32 applies force to the tile body 1 left and right with the cutting and scribing as the axis. On the other hand, the transmission device 5 drives the two clamping plates 61 to apply relative outward and downward forces to the two pieces. Under the action of the two aspects, the two pieces are easily broken apart. Preferably, in this embodiment, each of the two clamping plates 61 is provided with two slots 6101 for placing the tile body. Each slot 6101 has a plurality of evenly arranged ball bearings 6101 installed at its bottom. When the tile body 1 is inserted into the slot 6101 on the clamping plate 61, the cutting device 3 can complete the cutting task more quickly and accurately because the tile body 1 is stably fixed in the slot 6101. This helps to improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. The combination of the clamping plate 61 and the ball bearings 62 provides stable support for the tile body 1. The ball bearings 62 can reduce friction, making it easier for the tile body 1 to slide and be positioned during the cutting process, while maintaining stability.

[0042] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
