[0002] Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks are widely used in the construction industry today. AAC blocks are a lightweight and environmentally friendly building material, widely used in building components such as walls, partitions, and floors. They are made from raw materials such as cement, quartz sand, lime, gypsum, aluminum powder, and water, and are manufactured through processes such as autoclaving. They possess many excellent properties. Controlling the thickness and fullness of the mortar joints in AAC block masonry has a crucial impact on the stability and aesthetics of the wall. To better control the mortar joint thickness of AAC block masonry, mortar joint thickness control devices are used during construction.

[0003] Existing mortar joint thickness control devices often rely on manual inspection and adjustment to control the mortar joint thickness of aerated concrete block masonry. Workers manually adjust the placement of the aerated concrete blocks based on the thickness indicators provided by the control device to ensure the mortar joint thickness of each layer meets requirements. To improve efficiency, many devices combine manual intervention with automatic feedback for fine adjustments. However, relying solely on manual adjustment of the aerated concrete block placement based on thickness indicators to control mortar joint thickness cannot accurately control the joint thickness, and this method reduces the efficiency of aerated concrete block masonry construction.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model is a tool for controlling the thickness of mortar joints in aerated concrete block masonry, including a baffle 1, a positioning plate 2 fixedly connected to one side of the baffle 1; a fixing component is provided on one side of the baffle 1, the fixing component includes a clamping plate 3, the clamping plate 3 is located on one side of the positioning plate 2, a fixing screw 4 is threadedly connected to one side of the clamping plate 3, and an adjustable scraping component is provided on one side of the clamping plate 3, the adjustable scraping component includes a scraper 5, a positioning screw 6 is threadedly connected to one side of the scraper 5.

[0025] Specifically: baffle 1, clamping plate 3 and scraper 5 are all high-strength hollow aluminum alloy square tubes, positioning plate 2 is a high-strength solid aluminum alloy strip, mortar is used to lay between the two baffles 1, clamping plate 3 is fixedly connected to baffle 1, clamping plate 3 can move on the surface of fixing screw 4 to adjust the distance between the two baffles 1, so that positioning plate 2 is pressed on the top of aerated block masonry, thereby moving the aerated block masonry as a horizontal track, and scrapers 5 on both sides can be used to smooth the mortar.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] Please see Figures 1-4Based on embodiment 1, the fixing assembly further includes a fixing bolt 7, which is threaded onto the surface of the fixing screw 4. A washer 8 is provided on the surface of the fixing screw 4. A through groove adapted to the fixing bolt 7 is provided on one side of the clamping plate 3. The adjustable scraping assembly also includes a positioning bolt 9, which is threaded onto the surface of the positioning screw 6. A first movable groove 10 is provided on one side of the clamping plate 3 to adjust the vertical position of the scraper 5. A second movable groove 11 is provided on one side of the scraper 5 to adjust the horizontal position of the scraper 5.

[0028] Specifically: the fixing bolt 7 and the clamping plate 3 are in contact with the washer 8 to ensure that the clamping plate 3 can be well fixed by the fixing bolt 7 after the position is moved. Reference scales are marked on one side of the clamping plate 3 at the position of the first movable groove 10 and on the other side of the scraper 5 at the position of the second movable groove 11. The scale at the position of the first movable groove 10 is used to adjust the height of the scraper 5, and the scale at the position of the second movable groove 11 is used to adjust the position of the baffle 1. The positioning bolt 9 is used to fix the scraper 5. When the baffle 1 is adjusted to a suitable distance, the positioning screw 6 can be moved in the second movable groove 11, and the scraper 5 can be adjusted to a suitable height and then fixed by the positioning bolt 9.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The distance between the two baffles 1 is adjusted according to the size requirements of the aerated concrete block masonry. The baffles 3 are moved to a suitable position using the cooperation of the fixing screw 4 and the clamping plate 3, and then fixed with fixing bolts 7 and washers 8 to ensure that the distance between the baffles 1 meets the requirements for use.

[0030] According to the required mortar joint thickness, adjust the vertical position of the scraper 5 through the first movable groove 10, and adjust the scraper 5 to a suitable height with reference to the scale. After adjustment, use the positioning bolts 9 to fix the scraper 5 to ensure that the scraper 5 remains stable during construction.

[0031] Press the adjusted tool onto the surface of the aerated concrete block masonry, ensuring the tool is stable and does not wobble. Then fill with premixed mortar, ensuring the mortar height does not exceed the height of baffle 1.

[0032] Pull the tool smoothly and at a constant speed in the horizontal direction. The scraper 5 spreads the mortar evenly, ensuring a constant mortar joint thickness. Through precise tool control, the mortar joint thickness remains consistent, avoiding errors caused by manual operation.

[0033] According to the design requirements of the bricklaying diagram, the pre-prepared aerated concrete blocks are placed steadily on the spread mortar layer, and the blocks are pressed evenly to ensure a tight bond between them and the mortar layer. Precise tool control ensures that the mortar joint thickness of each aerated concrete block is uniform.

[0034] After each day's construction, use a high-pressure water gun to wash the tools, paying particular attention to cleaning the dust accumulated on the cutting edge of scraper 5. Regularly inspect, calibrate, and tighten the tools to ensure their long-term effectiveness. When scraper 5 is severely worn, replace it with a new one promptly to guarantee construction quality.

[0035] This precise control of the mortar joint thickness in aerated concrete block masonry not only improves construction efficiency and quality and reduces manual intervention, but also enhances the stability and aesthetics of the wall.
