Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building construction technology, and in particular to a horizontal mortar joint control device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction industry, masonry work is a fundamental and crucial step, and the quality control of horizontal mortar joints has always been a significant challenge. Traditionally, the thickness and uniformity of horizontal mortar joints rely heavily on the experience and skill of construction workers. However, manual labor has many unavoidable limitations. With the continuous advancement of the construction industry, higher standards have been set for the quality, aesthetics, and durability of buildings. As a vital component of the wall structure, the quality of horizontal mortar joints directly impacts the integrity, stability, and waterproofing performance of secondary walls. Uneven horizontal mortar joints can lead to uneven stress on the secondary wall, making it prone to cracking under long-term external forces and potentially compromising the structural safety of the entire building. Furthermore, uneven mortar joints also detract from the smoothness and aesthetics of the wall's appearance.

[0003] A related technology proposes a horizontal mortar joint thickness control device, comprising two parallel longitudinal sliding tracks. A U-shaped mortar trough is fixed to the upper surface of each longitudinal sliding track. Rectangular grooves are formed on the opposite surfaces of the two longitudinal sliding tracks, which engage with the two parallel sides of the wall, allowing the track to slide on the wall. The longitudinal sliding tracks, the U-shaped mortar trough, and the wall together form a mortar channel. A transverse mortar smoothing strip is fixed to the open end of the U-shaped mortar trough. The open end of the U-shaped mortar trough, the transverse mortar smoothing strip, and the wall together form a mortar outlet. This device can quickly form a horizontal mortar joint with uniform thickness, saving masonry time while ensuring the uniformity of the mortar joint thickness, thus improving the appearance and quality of the mortar joints after construction.

[0004] However, aerated concrete blocks used for masonry walls occasionally break during transportation. When using the aforementioned horizontal mortar joint thickness control device to lay masonry mortar on the wall, if the aerated concrete blocks beneath the mortar are damaged, the mortar will leak from the damaged area, resulting in mortar waste and pollution of the construction environment. Furthermore, the width of the aforementioned horizontal mortar joint thickness control device is fixed and only applicable to walls of the same width. However, the width of masonry walls on construction sites varies depending on different functional classifications. Therefore, the aforementioned horizontal mortar joint thickness control device cannot be applied to walls of different widths simultaneously. Summary of the Invention

S3. Fill the upper surface of the masonry wall within the area enclosed by the first frame, the second frame and the fourth frame with masonry mortar, and use a smoothing tool to smooth the masonry mortar to the same thickness as the second frame.

Repeat steps S2-S5 until the entire masonry wall is completed.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: Firstly, this invention provides a horizontal mortar joint control device. In use, a second frame is mounted on the upper surface of the masonry wall. The first and fourth frames, along their respective inner sides in the second horizontal direction, are respectively attached to both sides of the masonry wall along the second horizontal direction. The first, second, and fourth frames, along with the upper surface of the masonry wall, enclose a rectangular mortar filling area. After filling this area with mortar, the construction worker uses a trowel to smooth the mortar. Because the upper surfaces of the first, second, and fourth frames are flush, a horizontal mortar joint of uniform thickness is obtained after smoothing, greatly improving the quality and construction efficiency of the masonry wall and avoiding the limitations of manual operation. A third frame connects to the upper surfaces of the first and fourth frames, forming a clearance between them. When the horizontal mortar joint control device completes the horizontal mortar joint laying at the current position and needs to move to the next position, the horizontal mortar joint control device is pulled horizontally. The clearance avoids the already laid horizontal mortar joint, facilitating the movement of the horizontal mortar joint control device. The fourth frame is adjustable along the second horizontal direction, allowing the horizontal mortar joint control device to flexibly adjust the spacing between the first and fourth frames in the second horizontal direction, thus adapting to masonry walls of different widths and further improving the versatility of the horizontal mortar joint control device. By setting a first collection element below the first frame and a second collection element below the fourth frame, when the aerated concrete block under the masonry mortar is damaged and mortar leaks from the damaged area, the first or second collection element can effectively collect the leaked mortar, avoiding waste of mortar and pollution to the construction environment, saving construction costs and subsequent site cleanup. The grip is located above one of the second and third frames, or above both the second and third frames, facilitating horizontal movement of the horizontal mortar joint control device by construction personnel, thereby improving the ease of operation of the device. Secondly, the present invention also provides a method for using a horizontal mortar joint control device. Using the above-mentioned horizontal mortar joint control device to lay horizontal mortar joints in masonry walls makes the horizontal mortar joint thickness of the masonry walls uniform, improves the quality of the masonry walls, greatly increases the masonry speed, improves the efficiency of wall construction, and the collection component can effectively collect leaked masonry mortar, avoiding waste of masonry mortar and pollution to the construction environment, saving construction costs and subsequent site cleanup procedures.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0020] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or a detachable connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0021] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature being directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0022] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present invention provides a horizontal mortar joint control device, including a first frame 1, a second frame 2, a third frame 3, a fourth frame 4, a collection component 5, and a gripping component 6. The first frame 1 extends along a first horizontal direction (X direction in the figure), and the second frame 2 extends along a second horizontal direction (Y direction in the figure), the second horizontal direction being perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. One end of the second frame 2 is connected to the first frame 1, and their upper surfaces are flush. The third frame 3 extends along the second horizontal direction, one end of which is connected to the upper surface of the first frame 1 and is spaced apart from the second frame 2 along the first horizontal direction. The fourth frame 4 extends along the first horizontal direction, one end of which is connected to the second frame 2, and their upper surfaces are flush. The other end is connected to the lower surface of the third frame 3. The fourth frame 4 and the first frame 1 are spaced apart along the second horizontal direction, and their positions are adjustable along the second horizontal direction. The collection component 5 includes a first collecting element 51 and a second collecting element 52. The first collecting element 51 is disposed below the first frame 1, and the second collecting element 52 is disposed below the fourth frame 4. The first collecting element 51 and the second collecting element 52 are configured to collect masonry mortar. The grip 6 is located on the second frame 2 and / or the third frame 3.

[0024] Specifically, when using the horizontal mortar joint control device, the second frame 2 is placed on the upper surface of the masonry wall, and the first frame 1 and the fourth frame 4 are respectively attached to the two sides of the masonry wall along the second horizontal direction. The first frame 1, the second frame 2, the fourth frame 4, and the upper surface of the masonry wall enclose a rectangular mortar filling area. After the construction workers fill the filling area with mortar, they use a trowel to smooth the mortar. Because the upper surfaces of the first frame 1, the second frame 2, and the fourth frame 4 are flush, a horizontal mortar joint of uniform thickness can be obtained after smoothing, which greatly improves the quality and construction efficiency of the masonry wall and avoids the limitations of manual operation. Furthermore, the third frame 3 is connected to the upper surfaces of the first frame 1 and the fourth frame 4, forming a clearance between the three. When the horizontal mortar joint control device completes the horizontal mortar joint laying at the current position and needs to move to the next position, the horizontal mortar joint control device is pulled horizontally, and the clearance can avoid the already laid horizontal mortar joint, facilitating the movement of the horizontal mortar joint control device. The fourth frame 4 is adjustable along the second horizontal direction, allowing the horizontal mortar joint control device to flexibly adjust the spacing between the first frame 1 and the fourth frame 4 in the second horizontal direction, thus adapting to masonry walls of different widths and further improving the versatility of the horizontal mortar joint control device. By setting a first collecting element 51 below the first frame 1 and a second collecting element 52 below the fourth frame 4, when the aerated block below the masonry mortar is damaged and mortar leaks from the damaged area, the first collecting element 51 or the second collecting element 52 can effectively collect the leaked mortar, avoiding waste of mortar and pollution to the construction environment, saving construction costs and subsequent site cleanup procedures. Optionally, the gripping element 6 is located above one of the second frame 2 and the third frame 3, or both the second frame 2 and the third frame 3 are equipped with gripping elements 6, facilitating horizontal movement of the horizontal mortar joint control device by construction personnel, thereby improving the operational convenience of the horizontal mortar joint control device. For example, the gripping element 6 is welded from a galvanized steel pipe with a diameter of 20mm.

[0025] Optionally, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the first collecting component 51 is a J-shaped trough with its opening facing upwards. The long leg side of the J-shaped trough is connected to the lower end face of the first frame 1 along the second horizontal direction away from the fourth frame 4. The short leg side of the J-shaped trough is located on the side of the long leg side of the J-shaped trough along the second horizontal direction close to the fourth frame 4. The short leg side of the J-shaped trough and the side of the first frame 1 along the second horizontal direction close to the fourth frame 4 are located in the same vertical plane. The length of the J-shaped trough along the first horizontal direction is equal to that of the first frame 1. Below the J-shaped trough is a collection groove formed by bending, and the width of the collection groove along the second horizontal direction is equal to the width of the first frame 1 along the second horizontal direction. That is, when the first frame 1 is attached to the side of the masonry wall along the second horizontal direction, the short leg side of the J-shaped trough can also be attached to the side of the masonry wall along the second horizontal direction. When the masonry mortar leaks and flows down from the broken part of the aerated block, the J-shaped trough can effectively collect the masonry mortar and prevent the masonry mortar from leaking further downwards. Furthermore, the J-shaped trough has openings at both ends along the first horizontal direction, facilitating the cleaning of the collected masonry mortar. The J-shaped trough is equal in length to the first frame 1 along the first horizontal direction, ensuring that the first collecting component 51 can collect leaked cement mortar from any location along the first horizontal direction of the masonry mortar laid by the horizontal mortar joint control device, further improving the collection efficiency of the first collecting component 51 for leaked masonry mortar.

[0026] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the second collecting component 52 is a J-shaped channel with its opening facing upwards. The long leg side of the J-shaped channel is connected to the lower end face of the fourth frame 4, on the side away from the first frame 1 along the second horizontal direction. The short leg side of the J-shaped channel is located on the side of the long leg side of the J-shaped channel, on the side closer to the first frame 1 along the second horizontal direction. The short leg side of the J-shaped channel and the side of the fourth frame 4, on the side closer to the first frame 1 along the second horizontal direction, are located in the same vertical plane. The length of the J-shaped channel along the first horizontal direction is equal to that of the fourth frame 4. The beneficial technical effects and functions of the second collecting component 52 being a J-shaped channel are similar to those of the first collecting component 51 being a J-shaped channel, and will not be repeated here. Specifically, the J-shaped channel is formed by bending a 3mm thick galvanized steel plate, making it simple to operate and the material readily available.

[0027] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, a connecting groove 41 is provided at one end of the fourth frame 4 connected to the second frame 2. The depth of the connecting groove 41 is equal to the thickness of the second frame 2, and the width of the connecting groove 41 along the first horizontal direction is equal to the width of the second frame 2 along the first horizontal direction. Multiple first socket groups 21 are provided on the side of the second frame 2 away from the third frame 3 along the first horizontal direction, and these multiple first socket groups 21 are spaced apart along the second horizontal direction. Multiple second socket groups 31 are provided on the side of the third frame 3 away from the second frame 2 along the first horizontal direction, and these multiple second socket groups 31 are spaced apart along the second horizontal direction. The multiple first socket groups 21 and the multiple second socket groups 31 correspond one-to-one in the first horizontal direction. Third socket groups 42 and fourth socket groups 43 are provided on both sides of the fourth frame 4 along the first horizontal direction, and these third socket groups 42 and fourth socket groups 43 correspond to each other in the first horizontal direction. The horizontal mortar joint control device also includes two connectors 7. One connector 7 can be simultaneously inserted into a first socket group 21 and a third socket group 42, and the other connector 7 can be simultaneously inserted into a second socket group 31 and a fourth socket group 43. The second frame 2 is located within the connecting groove 41 of the fourth frame 4, ensuring that the upper surfaces of the second frame 2 and the fourth frame 4 are flush. By adjusting the position of the first socket group 21 into which one connector 7 is inserted and simultaneously adjusting the position of the second socket group 31 into which the other connector 7 is inserted, the position of the fourth frame 4 in the second horizontal direction can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the spacing between the first frame 1 and the fourth frame 4 in the second horizontal direction, making the horizontal mortar joint control device adaptable to masonry walls of different widths. In this embodiment, each socket group includes two sockets, and the connector 7 includes a base and four connector posts. The base is made of galvanized steel plate, and the connector posts are made of galvanized round steel.

[0028] Furthermore, when one connector 7 is simultaneously inserted into the first socket group 21 and the third socket group 42, which are furthest from the first frame 1 along the second horizontal direction, and another connector 7 is simultaneously inserted into the second socket group 31 and the fourth socket group 43, which are furthest from the first frame 1 along the second horizontal direction, the distance between the first frame 1 and the fourth frame 4 along the second horizontal direction is 200mm. Based on the fact that the widest aerated concrete block used in the on-site wall construction is 200mm, the maximum distance between the first frame 1 and the fourth frame 4 in the second horizontal direction is set to 200mm. This satisfies construction requirements while avoiding the inconvenience of subsequent aerated concrete block construction caused by an excessively large horizontal mortar joint control device.

[0029] Specifically, the second frame 2 has three first insertion hole groups 21 on the side away from the third frame 3 along the first horizontal direction, with a spacing of 50mm between adjacent first insertion hole groups 21 along the second horizontal direction. Similarly, the third frame 3 has three second insertion hole groups 31 on the side away from the second frame 2 along the first horizontal direction, with a spacing of 50mm between adjacent second insertion hole groups 31 along the second horizontal direction. The aforementioned positioning of the first insertion hole groups 21 and second insertion hole groups 31 allows the spacing between the first frame 1 and the fourth frame 4 of the horizontal mortar joint control device in the second horizontal direction to be adjustable to 200mm, 150mm, and 100mm, respectively, which corresponds to the widths of the aerated concrete blocks used in masonry construction at the construction site, which are 200mm, 150mm, and 100mm. It is understood that those skilled in the art can also adjust the number and position of the first insertion hole groups 21 and second insertion hole groups 31 according to the actual needs of the construction site.

[0030] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first grouting component 8 is provided on the side of the first frame 1 near the fourth frame 4 along the second horizontal direction, and a second grouting component 9 is provided on the side of the fourth frame 4 near the first frame 1 along the second horizontal direction. Both the first grouting component 8 and the second grouting component 9 extend along the first horizontal direction. The first grouting component 8 and the second grouting component 9 can simultaneously perform grouting operations on both sides of the laid masonry mortar along the second direction, realizing that grouting operations can be performed while laying masonry mortar, saving subsequent grouting operation steps, improving the efficiency of wall construction, further improving the integrity and strength of masonry mortar, and facilitating subsequent decorative construction of the masonry wall.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first grouting piece 8 has a rounded surface on the side closest to the fourth frame 4 along the second horizontal direction, and the second grouting piece 9 has a rounded surface on the side closest to the first frame 1 along the second horizontal direction. The vertical height of both the first and second grouting pieces 8 and 9 is equal to the thickness of the second frame 2. The rounded surfaces on the sides of the first and second grouting pieces 8 and 9 near their respective frames create a smooth, concave arc shape in the mortar joint. Compared to ordinary right-angle grouting, rounded surface grouting reduces stress concentration and produces a more aesthetically pleasing and three-dimensional appearance. The vertical height of the first and second grouting pieces 8 and 9 is equal to the thickness of the second frame 2, ensuring that the working surface of the grouting piece is level with the thickness of the laid mortar. This prevents scratching the wall due to protrusion or failing to reach the bottom of the mortar joint due to concavity.

[0032] For example, the thickness of the second frame 2 is 15mm. According to Article 9.3.6 of the "Code for Acceptance of Construction Quality of Masonry Works" (GB50203-2002), the mortar joints of hollow bricks and lightweight concrete small hollow blocks should be 8-12mm. The horizontal mortar joint thickness and vertical mortar joint width of autoclaved aerated concrete blocks should preferably be 15mm and 20mm, respectively. Setting the thickness of the second frame 2 to 15mm ensures that the horizontal mortar joint thickness is 15mm, meeting the requirements of this code.

[0033] Secondly, such as Figure 8 As shown, the present invention also provides a method for using a horizontal mortar joint control device. The method for using the above-mentioned horizontal mortar joint control device to lay horizontal mortar joints in masonry walls includes the following steps: S1. Adjust the fourth frame 4 along the second horizontal direction so that the distance between the fourth frame 4 and the first frame 1 in the second horizontal direction is equal to the width of the aerated concrete block in the second horizontal direction. S2. Place the horizontal mortar joint control device horizontally on the upper surface of the masonry wall, and align the side of the third frame 3 away from the second frame 2 along the first horizontal direction with the side of the masonry wall along the first horizontal direction. The second frame 2 is placed on the upper surface of the masonry wall, and the inner sides of the first frame 1 and the fourth frame 4 along the second horizontal direction are respectively vertically aligned with the two sides of the masonry wall along the second horizontal direction. S3. Fill the upper surface of the masonry wall within the area enclosed by the first frame 1, the second frame 2 and the fourth frame 4 with masonry mortar, and use a smoothing tool to smooth the masonry mortar to the same thickness as the second frame 2. If the aerated block under the masonry mortar is damaged, the leaked masonry mortar is collected by the collection component 5. S4. Using the grip 6, pull the horizontal mortar joint control device to the next masonry position along the first horizontal direction towards the other end of the masonry wall. Place the aerated blocks on the smoothed masonry mortar in sequence and press them down. S5. Repeat steps S3 and S4 until the masonry wall is completed at the same horizontal level. S6. Repeat steps S2-S5 until the entire masonry wall is completed.

[0034] By using the above-mentioned horizontal mortar joint control device to lay horizontal mortar joints in masonry walls, the thickness of the horizontal mortar joints in the masonry walls becomes uniform, improving the quality of the masonry walls, greatly increasing the masonry speed, and improving the efficiency of wall construction. Moreover, the collection component 5 can effectively collect leaked masonry mortar, avoiding waste of masonry mortar and pollution to the construction environment, saving construction costs and subsequent site cleanup procedures.

[0035] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
