[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the leveling assembly provided in this embodiment includes two arms and a connecting member 3 including two rotating shafts 31. For the convenience of explanation, the two arms are specifically divided into a flat first arm 1 and a second arm 2. The first arm 1 and the second arm 2 are independent of each other and are rotatably connected to the connecting member 3 through the rotating shaft 31 of the connecting member 3 respectively. By driving the upper parts of the two arms, the lower parts of the two arms are caused to shrink or expand, thereby controlling the lower parts of the two arms to lock the leveling base 4 or be taken out from the leveling base 4.

[0030] When leveling is required, taking the tile leveling scenario as an example, first drive the upper parts of the two arms to cause the lower parts of the two arms to retract, and when the lower parts of the two arms are moved to the locking position of the leveling base 4, drive the upper parts of the two arms to cause the lower parts of the two arms to expand, and complete the locking of the lower parts of the two arms on the leveling base 4.

[0031] Place the two tiles to be leveled on the positioning planes on both sides of the two arms respectively. After completing the leveling with the help of the leveling accessories, drive the upper parts of the two arms to make the lower parts of the two arms shrink inward, so as to separate the lower parts of the two arms from the leveling base 4, and use external force to remove the leveling assembly from the locking position of the leveling base 4.

[0032] Since the flat structure of the two arms can greatly reduce the thickness of the two arms while ensuring the strength, the leveler containing the leveling component can be used in leveling scenarios that require smaller gaps.

[0033] It should be noted that, in the leveling assembly provided in this embodiment, the thickness of the two arms can be applied to the required scenario of leveling tile gaps less than 0.35 mm. With the advancement of technology, the thickness of the two arms can be further reduced.

[0034] Moreover, the leveling assembly provided in this embodiment can also be used in other scenarios such as glass leveling and wooden board leveling.

[0035] In a specific embodiment, the first arm 1, the second arm 2 and the connecting member 3 of the leveling assembly provided by the utility model are all detachably connected. The advantage of such a configuration is that the first arm 1, the second arm 2 and the connecting member 3 are all independent of each other and can be independently designed, produced, sold and assembled in the production process. Batch production can not only reduce costs, but also effectively avoid the waste of resources caused by the scrapping of the entire leveling assembly due to the failure to replace a certain component.

[0036] As a preferred solution, the leveling assembly provided in this embodiment further includes a driving block 5, the first arm and the second arm 2 are respectively provided with first through holes at the upper part of the rotating shaft 31, the connecting member 3 is provided with two second through holes adapted to the two first through holes at the upper part of the rotating shaft, the two protruding short rods of the driving block 5 respectively pass through the first through hole and the second through hole in sequence, and the driving block 5 moves up and down to drive the upper part of the first arm 1 and the second arm 2. When the driving block 5 moves up and down, the short rod moves in the first through hole and the second through hole, thereby driving the upper part of the first arm 1 and the second arm 2 to contract or expand, realizing the expansion or contraction of the lower part of the first arm 1 and the second arm 2, and realizing the lower part of the first arm 1 and the second arm 2 to be stuck in the leveling base 4 or removed from the leveling base 4.

[0037] Specifically, the leveling assembly may further include a buckling component 6 that matches the driving block 5, and the driving block 5 and the buckling component 6 together constitute a driving assembly. The buckling component 6 and the driving block 5 are respectively arranged on two sides of the connecting member 3, and are connected together through the first through hole and the second through hole. The buckling component 6 can stably connect the driving block 5 and the connecting member 3 together to ensure that the product structure is firm and durable.

[0038] The specific supporting structure and use process of the leveling assembly provided in a specific embodiment are as follows:

[0039] The two arms are located at the upper part of the rotating shaft and are respectively provided with first through holes. Before the leveling work begins, the first through hole of the first arm 1 and the first through hole of the second arm 2 are in the shape of an inner eight and are in mirror symmetry along the center line of the leveling assembly. The connecting member 3 is located at the upper part of the rotating shaft 31 and is respectively provided with second through holes. Both second through holes are strip holes along the center line of the leveling assembly and are also in mirror symmetry along the center line of the leveling assembly. In this state, the two first through holes overlap with the two second through holes at the upper part of the through holes to form an interpenetrating channel. The two protruding short rods of the driving block 5 sequentially pass through the above-mentioned interpenetrating channel formed by the first through hole and the second through hole and are then engaged with the matching buckle component 6.

[0040] When the driving assembly is moved toward the leveling base 4, the two protruding short rods of the driving block 5 are synchronously moved from the upper parts of the two second through holes to the lower parts of the two second through holes along the center line direction of the leveling assembly respectively. During the movement, the two protruding short rods are simultaneously moved along the upper parts of the two first through holes of the two support arms to their lower parts, and a driving force is applied to the upper parts of the two support arms in the direction of the leveling base 4 through the two first through holes in the shape of an inner X. Under the action of the driving force, the two support arms rotate around the rotating shaft 31 of the connecting piece respectively, so as to realize the inward contraction between the lower parts of the two support arms.

[0041] When the driving assembly is moved away from the leveling base 4, the two protruding short rods of the driving block 5 are synchronously moved from the lower parts of the two second through holes to the upper parts of the two second through holes along the center line direction of the leveling assembly respectively. During the movement, the two protruding short rods are simultaneously moved along the lower parts of the two first through holes of the two arms to their upper parts, and a driving force is applied to the upper parts of the two arms away from the leveling base 4 through the two first through holes in the shape of an inner X. Under the action of the driving force, the two arms rotate around the rotating shaft 31 of the connecting piece respectively, so as to achieve expansion between the lower parts of the two arms.

[0042] Furthermore, in the leveling assembly provided in the present embodiment, the driving assembly also includes a stabilizing member 7 located between the driving block 5 and the two arms, the stabilizing member 7 is provided with two third through holes for two protruding short rods to pass through, a guide groove 8 is provided in the middle thereof along the center line direction of the leveling assembly, and a guide portion 9 matching the guide groove 8 is provided in the middle of the driving block 5. This arrangement has the following advantages: Advantage 1: The upper parts of the two arms are located between the connecting member 3 and the stabilizing member 7, which effectively prevents the upper parts of the two arms from falling off the connecting member 3. Advantage 2: When moving the driving assembly, the guide portion 9 of the driving block 5 slides along the guide groove 8 in the middle of the stabilizing member 7, making the driving process more stable and labor-saving. Advantage 3: The coordinated use of the stabilizing member 7 and the connecting member 3 makes the appearance of the leveling assembly more aesthetically pleasing.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, two grooves are provided on the side of the stabilizing member 7 facing the connecting member 3 , and the two grooves respectively match the two hinge points of the two supporting arms and the connecting member 3 , which can further enhance the stability of the rotational connection between the two supporting arms and the connecting member 3 .

[0044] In a specific implementation, the surfaces of the driving block 5 and the engaging component 6 matched therewith may be provided with conventional anti-slip structures such as serrated grooves and protrusions.

[0045] In a specific embodiment, the leveling assembly further includes a housing 10 for fixing the connecting member 3 , two supporting arms, a driving assembly and a stabilizing member 7 .

[0046] In a specific embodiment, the first arm 1 and the second arm 2 can be hinged, and the hinge point coincides with the position of the rotation axis 31, and in this case, the rotation axis of the connecting member is one. It should be noted that the two arms can be hinged, and can be hinged in a cross-shaped manner like a pliers, or can be hinged without crossing, that is, the upper and lower parts of the first arm 1 are both on one side of the hinge point, and the upper and lower parts of the second arm 2 are both on the other side of the hinge point.

[0047] The leveler provided by the utility model comprises the above-mentioned leveling assembly, a leveling base 4 and a leveling accessory. The leveling accessory can be a screw cap, a screw rod is provided on the top of the connecting piece 3, and a screw cap is provided with a thread matching the screw rod. The two arms of the leveling assembly are symmetrically arranged along the center line of the leveling assembly, and the lower parts of the two arms are L-shaped, and the middle part of the leveling base 4 is provided with a strip-shaped through hole along its length direction for the lower parts of the two arms to pass through.

[0048] When in use, first drive the upper parts of the two L-shaped arms through the driving assembly, so that the lower parts of the two L-shaped arms are retracted, and the short arm parts of the lower parts of the two L-shaped arms pass through the strip-shaped through holes of the leveling base 4; then drive the upper parts of the two L-shaped arms through the driving assembly, so that the lower parts of the two L-shaped arms are expanded, and the short arm parts of the lower parts of the two L-shaped arms are locked on the bottom surface of the leveling base 4 away from the leveling assembly.

[0049] The two tiles to be leveled are placed on the positioning planes on both sides of the two L-shaped arms, which are the planes where the top surface of the leveling base 4 close to the leveling assembly is located. The two L-shaped arms are located between the two tiles to be leveled. The screw cap is screwed in from the free end of the screw rod of the connecting member 3 until the bottom of the screw cap presses the upper surface of the two tiles to complete the leveling and paving of the tiles. After the leveling work is completed, the upper parts of the two L-shaped arms are driven by the driving assembly to cause the lower parts of the two L-shaped arms to shrink inward, and the short arm parts of the lower parts of the two L-shaped arms are separated from the leveling base 4. External force is used to remove the short arm parts of the lower parts of the two L-shaped arms of the leveling assembly from the locked position of the leveling base 4 through the strip through hole again.

[0050] As a preferred solution, bosses are respectively provided at both ends of the strip-shaped through hole near the side of the leveling assembly. The advantage of this arrangement is that the distance between the connecting member 3 in the leveling assembly and the upper surface of the leveling base 4 can be adjusted, and the distance is the maximum thickness of the tile to be leveled.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the leveling base 4 may not be provided with a strip-shaped through hole, but may be provided with a groove in the middle thereof along its length direction for locking the short arm parts at the lower parts of the two L-shaped arms.

[0052] In a specific embodiment, a strip groove is provided in the middle of the leveling base 4 along its length. The two ends of the strip groove are provided with protrusions, and the lower parts of the two arms are provided with notches for locking the two protrusions. Different from the above scheme, the lower parts of the two arms in the locking structure are not limited to be L-shaped, and the locking structure is composed of a groove with protrusions at both ends in the leveling base 4 and two arms with notches at the lower parts.
