[0032] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] Reference Figure 1~Figure 2, which is the first embodiment of the utility model, proposes a fixed-angle toothed spatula, including: a sliding base 1; a support plate 2, arranged on the sliding base 1, the support plate 2 has an inclined mounting surface 201; a spatula holder 4, arranged on the mounting surface 201, the spatula holder 4 has a mounting groove 4011, and the mounting groove 4011 is used to fix the spatula 3.

[0034] In the above scheme, the mounting surface 201 of the support plate 2 is arranged at an angle of 60° with the sliding base 1 to ensure that when the trowel holder 4 is installed on the mounting surface 201, the angle between the trowel 3 and the concrete slab is always maintained at 60°. The trowel holder 4 is mounted on the mounting surface 201 of the support plate 2 and is made of high-strength plastic or metal. The trowel holder 4 has a mounting groove 4011, the shape and size of which match the toothed trowel 3 and can firmly fix the trowel 3. When installing the trowel 3, the trowel 3 is inserted into the mounting groove 4011, ensuring that the teeth of the trowel 3 face downward and contact the concrete slab. Then, the trowel 3 is firmly fixed in the trowel holder 4 by tightening the fixing screws or other fixing methods.

[0035] Instructions for use: When conducting a tensile bond strength test of ceramic tile adhesive, first apply the stirred adhesive evenly on the concrete slab. Then, place the sliding base 1 of the fixed-angle toothed spatula 3 on the concrete slab, and adjust the position of the spatula 3 so that it is aligned with the edge of the concrete slab. Hold the spatula holder 4 and gently push the sliding base 1 so that the spatula 3 slides at a constant speed on the concrete slab, applying the adhesive to the edge of the concrete slab. Since the angle between the mounting surface 201 of the spatula holder 4 and the sliding base 1 is 60°, the angle between the spatula 3 and the concrete slab is always maintained at 60°, ensuring the consistency and accuracy of the test operation.

[0036] The fixed-angle toothed trowel 3 provided in this embodiment can ensure that the angle between the trowel 3 and the concrete slab is always maintained at 60° by providing a sliding base 1, a support plate 2 and a trowel holder 4, thereby avoiding the problem of inconsistent angle and force due to differences in the test personnel's techniques, and improving the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0037] Furthermore, the sliding base 1 includes: a plurality of fixed plates 101, which are symmetrically arranged, and each fixed plate 101 has a plurality of grooves 1011; a plurality of sliding casters 102, each sliding caster 102 is rotatably set in a groove 1011, and the sliding casters 102 are located at the corners of each fixed plate 101.

[0038] In the above scheme, the sliding base 1 provides support and a mobile platform for the entire fixed-angle toothed trowel 3. The rolling of the sliding casters 102 on the concrete slab allows the trowel 3 to be easily moved across the concrete slab, completing the adhesive application operation. Together with the support plate 2 and trowel holder 4, they ensure the stability and angle accuracy of the trowel 3 during use. The symmetrically arranged fixed plates 101 and the sliding casters 102 located at the corners provide the sliding base 1 with excellent stability and balance, ensuring stability during operation and reducing the impact of shaking on test results.

[0039] Furthermore, the spatula holder 4 includes: a clamping strip 401, which is U-shaped, and the mounting groove 4011 is located in the clamping strip 401, and the upper surface of the clamping strip 401 has a through groove 403; a fastening bolt 402, which is threadedly connected in the through groove 403. After the spatula 3 is installed in the mounting groove 4011, the fastening bolt 402 is used to drive the clamping strip 401 to press the spatula 3.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the spatula holder 4 consists of a U-shaped clip 401 and a fastening bolt 402. The clip 401 has a mounting slot 4011 for accommodating the spatula 3 and a through-slot 403 on its upper surface. The fastening bolt 402 is threaded into the through-slot 403. Once the spatula 3 is installed in the mounting slot 4011, the fastening bolt 402 rotates to drive the clip 401 to compress the spatula 3. The U-shaped clip 401 provides a stable mounting space for the spatula 3, while the mounting slot 4011 ensures accurate placement of the spatula 3. Furthermore, the fastening bolt 402, threaded into the through-slot 403, is easy to operate and can be adjusted to accommodate spatulas of varying sizes, enhancing the versatility and applicability of the holder.

[0041] Furthermore, the clamping strip 401 has an opening 404 , and the opening 404 of the clamping strip 401 is oriented toward one side of the fixing plate 101 .

[0042] In the above embodiment, the opening 404 faces the side of the fixing plate 101, making installation of the spatula 3 more convenient and quick. The tester can easily insert the spatula 3 into the mounting slot 4011 of the retaining strip 401 from a specific orientation, eliminating the need for complex operations and improving installation efficiency. During the test, the retaining strip 401, in conjunction with the fastening bolts 402, can reduce the impact of loosening or shaking of the spatula 3 on the test results. The presence of the opening 404 ensures that the retaining strip 401 fits tightly against the surface of the spatula 3, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

[0043] Furthermore, the support plate 2 is triangular in shape, and the mounting surface 201 and the fixing plate 101 are arranged obliquely.

[0044] In the above scheme, the triangular support plate 2 can achieve a fixed angle. The tilted mounting surface 201 ensures that the trowel 3 forms a specific angle with the concrete slab. In ceramic tile adhesive testing, the trowel 3 is required to be parallel to the concrete slab at approximately 60°, extending to the edge of the slab. By tilting the mounting surface 201, the trowel holder 4 is installed on the mounting surface 201, ensuring that the angle between the trowel 3 and the concrete slab remains at 60°, thus meeting the test requirements.

[0045] Furthermore, the spatula 3 has a toothed portion 302 , and the toothed portion 302 faces one side of the fixed plate 101 .

[0046] In the above scheme, the teeth 302 face the side of the fixed plate 101, allowing the tester to more clearly see the contact between the teeth 302 and the concrete slab when using the fixed-angle toothed trowel 3, facilitating control of the force and direction of application. The teeth 302 face the side of the fixed plate 101, allowing for better coordination with the clip 401 and fastening bolts 402, ensuring the stability of the trowel 3 within the mounting slot 4011. During the test, the reaction force exerted on the teeth 302 is transmitted through the trowel 3 to the clip 401 and fastening bolts 402. This orientation optimizes force transmission and improves the overall stability of the device. The teeth 302 face the side of the fixed plate 101, allowing the adhesive to more quickly cover the edge of the concrete slab during application. Since the fixed plate 101 is typically located on one side of the concrete slab, the teeth 302 facing the fixed plate 101 allow the trowel 3 to approach the edge of the concrete slab during application, reducing the number and time of application passes and improving test efficiency.

[0047] Furthermore, the apparatus further comprises a pull rod 5 , which is provided on the clamping strip 401 and is used to pull the clamping strip 401 , so that the tester can open the opening 404 by the pull rod 5 .

[0048] Furthermore, there are several support plates 2, and each fixed plate 101 is provided with a support plate 2, and also includes: a connecting rod 6, which is arranged between two symmetrically arranged support plates 2, one end of the connecting rod 6 is arranged on a symmetrically arranged support plate 2, and the other end of the connecting rod 6 is symmetrically arranged on the other support plate 2, and the connecting rod 6 is used to connect the two support plates 2 into a whole.

[0049] In the above scheme, there are multiple support plates 2, one of which is mounted on each fixed plate 101. The scheme also includes a connecting rod 6, which is arranged between two symmetrically arranged support plates 2. One end of the connecting rod 6 is mounted on one symmetrically arranged support plate 2, and the other end of the connecting rod 6 is mounted symmetrically on the other support plate 2. The connecting rod 6 is used to connect the two support plates 2 into a single unit. The presence of the connecting rod 6 strengthens the structure of the entire device. It not only connects the two support plates 2 but also shares some of the forces acting on the trowel 3 and the concrete slab. During testing, the connecting rod 6 was able to withstand a certain amount of tension and compression, thereby reducing the load on the support plates 2 and extending their service life.

[0050] Furthermore, the spatula 3 has a gripping portion 301, which faces the upper surface of the clamping strip 401, making it easier for the tester to hold it.

[0051] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all of these should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
