AI Technical Summary
Existing handheld cutting machines lack physical guide rails when cutting tiles, causing the cutting trajectory to rely on the operator's wrist and arm control, which can easily lead to skewness, increase material waste and rework costs, and is highly dependent on the operator's experience.
An auxiliary tile cutting device was designed, comprising a channel mechanism and a spring-loaded moving mechanism. The channel mechanism, consisting of a side plate and rollers, provides a stable linear guide. The spring-loaded moving mechanism uses a compression spring to ensure that the side plate fits tightly against the tile surface. The lifting and lowering mechanism facilitates the positioning of the cutting machine and ensures the straightness of the cut.
The combination of the channel mechanism and the elastic moving mechanism significantly improves the straightness of the cut and the quality of the cross-section, while reducing material waste and dependence on operator experience.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of decoration and construction technology, specifically to an auxiliary tile cutting device and cutting method for home decoration. Background Technology
[0002] Tiles are a key material in modern decoration, serving both practical and decorative purposes. They not only protect walls and floors, providing a durable, moisture-proof, and easy-to-clean surface, but also greatly enhance the aesthetics and overall quality of a space through a rich variety of colors, textures, and laying patterns. In actual installation, cutting is often necessary according to the dimensions of the edges and corners. A handheld electric tile cutter is a flexible tool for accomplishing this task. When using it, you first need to accurately mark the tile surface, and then push the cutter along a straight line to cut the tile.
[0003] A search of patent number "CN108746846A" reveals a "small multi-functional handheld cutting machine" comprising a drive motor, a handle, a saw blade, a saw blade guard, and a base plate. The saw blade guard has a ductwork that connects to a dust collection system via an elbow for dust removal. The base plate has a length-fixing frame and a saw blade passage groove, allowing for length-fixing and positioning of the cutting material through the cooperation of the base plate and the length-fixing frame. In the cutting direction, the base plate has length-fixing baffles along its front and rear edges, and its outer surface is equipped with... The first scale; the fixed-length positioning frame includes a positioning baffle and a fixed-length sliding plate. The positioning baffle has an L-shaped groove for the base plate and the fixed-length baffle to move freely within the positioning baffle. The fixed-length sliding plate is horizontally set, with a second scale on its upper surface and a straight slide groove in the middle. The upper surface of the base plate has a limiting stud. The fixed-length sliding plate overlaps the upper surface of the base plate, and the limiting stud is located in the straight slide groove. The fixed-length positioning frame is fixedly connected to the base plate by a nut. Depending on the measuring range, the fixed-length positioning frame and the base plate have three installation methods.
[0004] During the process of making straight cuts with the handheld cutting machine, since there are no physical guide rails or reliable rigid support on both sides of the cutting machine, its forward trajectory depends entirely on the operator's wrist and arm for straight control. Throughout the process, the hand muscles need to continuously resist the vibration and inertia of the machine itself. Any slight, subconscious lateral force or distraction will immediately cause the high-speed rotating cutting wheel to deviate from the preset line. As a result, the cut will be visibly skewed, resulting in a rough cross-section and directly causing the tile to be scrapped, increasing material waste and rework costs. This step is extremely demanding on the operator's experience, feel and concentration. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an auxiliary tile cutting device and cutting method for home decoration, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary tile cutting device for home decoration, comprising a connecting frame, wherein connecting plates are bolted to both sides of the connecting frame, and universal wheels are rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting plates for the device to move, and further comprising: A channel mechanism is provided on the inner side of the connecting frame. The channel mechanism consists of the side plate and rollers. The number of rollers is several and they are bolted to the surface of the side plate. An elastic movable mechanism is disposed on the inner side of the connecting frame to provide a vertical movement range to the side plates on both sides, and at the same time, the elastic movable mechanism applies a downward elastic force to the side plates; A lifting mechanism is used to drive the side plate upward.
[0007] Preferably, the elastic movable mechanism includes: Four sliding sleeves are respectively bolted to both sides of the top surface of the two sets of side plates; The vertical column is bolted to the surface of the connecting frame, and the sliding sleeve is slidably connected to the surface of the vertical column. The cooperation between the sliding sleeve and the vertical column enables the side plate to move up and down. A compression spring is used to apply a spring force to the sliding sleeve to act on the side plate; A connecting cap is bolted to the surface of the vertical column and located above the sliding sleeve. The two ends of the compression spring are in contact with the inner wall of the connecting cap and the surface of the sliding sleeve, respectively. A fixing frame is bolted to the side plates on both sides, securing the two together.
[0008] Preferably, the sliding sleeve is recessed near the connecting cap to accommodate the lower end of the compression spring.
[0009] Preferably, the compression spring is sleeved on the surface of the vertical column.
[0010] Preferably, the lifting operating mechanism includes: Two sets of vertical plates are bolted to the top of the connecting frame; There are two connecting rods that are rotatably connected to the vertical plate; The pressing rod has its two ends fixed to the two connecting rods respectively; A through groove is formed on the surface of the connecting rod end; The movable column is bolted to the top of the fixed frame; A connecting column is fixed to the upper end of the movable column and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the through groove; A positioning component is used to position the movable column after it has risen.
[0011] Preferably, the positioning assembly consists of a movable sleeve, a threaded groove, a knob bolt, a positioning hole, and a limiting ring.

[0014] Preferably, both sides of the connecting frame and the fixing frame are open designs.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention, with its channel mechanism consisting of side plates and rollers, provides a stable and reusable physical linear guide for the cutting machine. During operation, simply placing the cutting machine within the channel formed by the two side plates forces it to move linearly along the preset cutting line, completely eliminating path deviation caused by hand movement. Simultaneously, the elastic mechanism continuously applies downward force to the side plates via compression springs, ensuring that their bottom edges adaptively and tightly conform to the tile surface. This guarantees that the channel reference is at the same height as the working surface, thereby ensuring extremely high cutting straightness and cross-sectional quality, significantly reducing reliance on operator experience and material waste.
[0016] 2. The lifting mechanism in this invention can easily lift the side plate to the locked height by pressing down the lever and linking the linkage, which facilitates the placement and positioning of the cutting machine. The sliding sleeve in the elastic moving mechanism slides along the vertical column, ensuring the smooth and stable vertical movement of the side plate. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] Please see Figures 1-9 As shown, an auxiliary tile cutting device for home decoration includes a connecting frame 100, with connecting plates 110 bolted to both sides of the connecting frame 100. Universal wheels 120 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting plates 110 for the device to move. The device also includes a channel mechanism 200, a spring-loaded movable mechanism 300, and a lifting operation mechanism 400. The channel mechanism 200 is located inside the connecting frame 100 and consists of side plates 210 and rollers 220. Several rollers 220 are bolted to the surface of the side plates 210. The spring-loaded movable mechanism 300 is located inside the connecting frame 100 and provides a vertical movement range to the side plates 210 on both sides. Simultaneously, the spring-loaded movable mechanism 300 applies a downward elastic force to the side plates 210. The lifting operation mechanism 400 is used to drive the side plates 210 upward.
[0021] Specifically, the elastic mechanism 300 includes a sliding sleeve 310, a vertical column 320, a compression spring 330, a connecting cap 340, and a fixing frame 350. Four sliding sleeves 310 are respectively bolted to both sides of the top surface of the two sets of side plates 210. The vertical column 320 is bolted to the surface of the connecting frame 100, and the sliding sleeves 310 are slidably connected to the surface of the vertical column 320. The cooperation between the sliding sleeves 310 and the vertical column 320 enables the side plates 210 to move up and down. The compression spring 330 applies elastic force to the sliding sleeves 310 to act on the side plates 210. The connecting cap 340 is bolted to the vertical column 350. The surface of column 320 is located above sliding sleeve 310. The two ends of compression spring 330 are in contact with the inner wall of connecting cap 340 and the surface of sliding sleeve 310, respectively. Fixing bracket 350 is bolted to the side plates 210 on both sides to fix the side plates 210 together. Both sides of connecting bracket 100 and fixing bracket 350 are open-designed to facilitate the operator to put their hands inside the fixing bracket 350 for operation. The bottom of roller 220 is flush with the bottom of side plate 210. When side plate 210 contacts the top of tile, roller 220 will not contact tile first and thus prevent side plate 210 from descending.
[0022] Furthermore, the sliding sleeve 310 is recessed on the side near the connecting cap 340 to accommodate the lower end of the compression spring 330. The compression spring 330 is sleeved on the surface of the vertical column 320. The recessed part at the top of the sliding sleeve 310 is matched with the connecting cap 340 to prevent the compression spring 330 from deviating.
[0023] Specifically, the lifting operating mechanism 400 includes a vertical plate 410, a connecting rod 430, a pressing rod 420, a through groove 440, a movable column 450, and a connecting column 460. There are two sets of vertical plates 410, which are bolted to the top of the connecting frame 100. There are two connecting rods 430, which are rotatably connected to the vertical plates 410. The two ends of the pressing rod 420 are respectively fixed to the two connecting rods 430. The through groove 440 is opened on the surface of the end of the connecting rod 430. The movable column 450 is bolted to the top of the fixed frame 350. The connecting column 460 is fixed to the upper end of the movable column 450 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the through groove 440. The positioning component 470 is used to position the movable column 450 after it rises.
[0024] Furthermore, the positioning assembly 470 consists of a movable sleeve 471, a threaded groove 472, a knob bolt 473, a positioning hole 474, and a limiting ring 475. The movable sleeve 471 is bolted to the connecting frame 100, and the movable column 450 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the movable sleeve 471. The threaded groove 472 is formed on the surface of the movable sleeve 471, and the knob bolt 473 is threaded to the inner wall of the threaded groove 472. The positioning hole 474 is formed on the surface of the movable column 450, and the limiting ring 475 is bolted to the surface of the movable column 450 and located below the positioning hole 474.
[0025] Before use, pressing down the pressing rod 420 causes the connecting rod 430 to rotate, raising the through groove 440 at the end of the connecting rod 430 and causing the connecting column 460 and the movable column 450 to rise. This, in turn, causes the fixed frame 350, the sliding sleeve 310, and the side plate 210 to rise. The limiting ring 475 rises with the movable column 450 and contacts the bottom of the movable sleeve 471. The knob bolt 473 is aligned with the positioning hole 474, and the knob bolt 473 is rotated to enter the positioning hole 474. This positions the height of the connecting rod 430, the pressing rod 420, the movable column 450, and the side plate 210, preventing the side plate 210 from contacting the ground during the movement of the pushing device.
[0026] Furthermore, a horizontal plate 130 is bolted to the side of the connecting frame 100 away from the pressing rod 420, and a counterweight 140 is bolted to the top of the horizontal plate 130. This is to balance the device and prevent the lifting operating mechanism 400 on the other side from causing instability in the device.
[0027] A cutting method for an auxiliary tile cutting device used in home decoration, comprising the following steps: Step a: First, mark a line on the surface of the tile to be cut. Then, place the handheld cutter and align the cutter blade with the marked line. Pick up the handheld cutter and then push the device to move it so that the device itself is horizontal above the tile. Step b: After the moving device is completed, place the handheld cutter between the two side plates 210 and adjust the position of the device until the cutter blade of the handheld cutter is aligned with the cutting line. Then loosen the knob bolt 473 to disengage it from the positioning hole 474. The downward force of the compression spring 330 is applied to the surface of the sliding sleeve 310 to drive the side plate 210 and the roller 220 to descend until the bottom of the side plate 210 contacts the tile. Step c: Select a model with a braking function for the caster wheel 120. The device will be fixed by the brake, and the side plate 210 will be pressed against the surface of the tile to position itself with the tile. Step d: The worker moves the small hand-held cutting machine along the channel formed by the two sets of side plates 210. This ensures the linear movement of the hand-held cutting machine and allows the worker to concentrate on pressing the hand-held cutting machine, thus achieving an auxiliary function.
