Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building decoration equipment technology, and in particular to a tile gap cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] Laying tiles is a common method in home renovation. Tiles are bonded to the ground with mortar, leaving gaps between them. For aesthetic purposes and to facilitate later cleaning, these gaps need to be filled. Before filling, the gaps need to be cleaned to ensure that the grout can fill them completely.
[0003] The prior art discloses a tile grout cleaning tool, which includes a device block; a vertical rod fixedly installed on the top of the device block; two fixed blocks fixedly installed on the bottom of the device block; a horizontal rod rotatably installed between the two fixed blocks; an adjusting block fixedly sleeved on the horizontal rod; a connecting rod fixedly installed between the two fixed blocks; two movable blocks threadedly installed on the horizontal rod and slidably connected to the connecting rod; two hard-bristled brushes fixedly installed on the bottom of their respective movable blocks; and four rectangular blocks.
[0004] Existing technologies mainly clean tile grout by brushing. However, for grout with hard impurities, such as clumps formed after mortar overflows during tile laying and hardens, brush cleaning is not ideal. Some methods use cutting machines for cleaning, but the cutting process generates dust, increasing the dust content in the air. The flying debris also requires manual cleaning later. There is room for optimization in the cutting method for cleaning grout. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a tile grout cleaning device. This device can remove impurities and dust during the grout cleaning process, reducing the amount of cleaning work in the later stages, thereby ensuring the air quality of the construction environment and reducing pollution and harm to the human body.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a tile grout cleaning device, comprising a vehicle body, a motor fixedly mounted on the top surface of the vehicle body, a cutting blade fixedly mounted on the motor output shaft, and a protective cover for shielding the motor and the cutting blade fixedly connected to the top surface of the vehicle body. The device is characterized in that: the top surface of the vehicle body is provided with a positioning structure for guidance and a collection structure for absorbing dust. The collection structure includes a perimeter, an extraction pipe, and an extraction slot. The perimeter has a cavity, is fixedly connected to the vehicle body, and surrounds the cutting blade to form a barrier. An extraction slot is opened on the perimeter, and the extraction slot communicates with the cavity of the perimeter. The extraction pipe is fixedly connected to the vehicle body, communicates with the cavity of the perimeter, and is connected to an external extraction device. The positioning structure includes a rotating body and a guide plate. The rotating body is elastically connected to the vehicle body, and the guide plate is rotatably connected to the rotating body. The guide plate and the cutting blade are located on the same axis.
[0007] Preferably, the edging is a rectangular frame structure located inside a window on the top surface of the vehicle body and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the vehicle body. The edging protrudes from the bottom surface of the vehicle body and extends downwards.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the edging is provided with an integrally formed retaining edge.
[0009] Preferably, the bottom surface of the surrounding edge has at least four air intake slots, which are symmetrically distributed in pairs.
[0010] Preferably, the air extraction pipe is fixedly installed on the top surface of the perimeter.
[0011] Preferably, the flipping body forms a rectangular rod structure, and an ear plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the vehicle body, with the flipping body rotatably connected to the ear plate.
[0012] Preferably, the guide plate is circular and is rotatably connected to the side wall of the flipping body.
[0013] Preferably, the top surface of the vehicle body is provided with an elastic element.
[0014] Preferably, the elastic element is an elastic telescopic rod, the cylinder of which is rotatably connected to the vehicle body, and the output shaft is rotatably connected to the tilting body.
[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This utility model connects the suction pipe to the air intake of the suction device via a flexible hose. As the cutting blade cleans the gaps, a gap is formed between the bottom of the suction pipe and the ground. The surrounding edge creates a negative pressure zone around the cutting blade, drawing in air and dust through the suction slot and then removing it through the suction pipe. As the vehicle moves across the ground, impurities and dust are removed during the cutting process, reducing subsequent cleaning work, ensuring air quality in the construction environment, and minimizing pollution and harm to the human body. The surrounding edge is made of rubber, and the bottom edge has a certain degree of elastic deformation, allowing it to conform to the ground within a certain range to ensure effective adsorption.
[0017] 2. This utility model uses an elastic element to push the flipping body downwards, so that the guide plate can be inserted into the gap of the tile after the cutting blade has cleaned it. As the vehicle body moves, the guide plate rolls in the gap, thereby restricting the vehicle body to maintain linear movement, guiding the forward path of the cutting blade, suppressing the vehicle body deviation, thereby reducing the cutting blade from cutting the tile, keeping the tile intact during the cleaning process, and making the protection effect better.

[0023] See appendix Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a tile gap cleaning device, including a vehicle body 10. A motor is fixedly installed on the top surface of the vehicle body 10, and a cutting blade is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor. A protective cover 11 for protection is fixedly connected to the top surface of the vehicle body 10. The protective cover 11 covers the motor and the cutting blade. The top surface of the vehicle body 10 is provided with a positioning structure for guidance and a collection structure for absorbing dust.
[0024] The collection structure includes a perimeter 20, an extraction pipe 21, and an air intake 22. The perimeter 20 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body 10 and surrounds the cutting blade to form a barrier. An air intake 22 is formed on the wall of the perimeter 20. The perimeter 20 has a cavity, and the air intake 22 communicates with the cavity of the perimeter 20, allowing it to draw in dust generated during cutting. The extraction pipe 21 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the perimeter 20 and communicates with the cavity of the perimeter 20. The extraction pipe 21 passes through… The hose connects to an extraction device, which can be a vacuum cleaner, but is not limited to one. In this embodiment, a vacuum cleaner is used as an example; the specific model and specifications of the vacuum cleaner are not specified. The extraction pipe 21 is connected to the vacuum cleaner's suction port via the hose. As the cutting blade cleans the gaps, a gap is formed between the bottom of the extraction pipe 21 and the ground. The surrounding edge 20 creates a negative pressure area around the cutting blade. Air and dust are drawn in through the suction port 22 and then sucked away by the vacuum cleaner through the extraction pipe 21. As the vehicle body 10 moves on the ground, impurities and dust are removed during the cutting and gap-cleaning process, reducing subsequent cleaning work, ensuring air quality in the construction environment, and minimizing pollution and harm to the human body. The surrounding edge 20 is made of rubber, and the bottom edge of the surrounding edge 20 has a certain elastic deformation capacity, allowing it to conform to the ground within a certain range to ensure the adsorption effect.
[0025] Preferably, the edging 20 forms a rectangular frame structure, and the top surface of the vehicle body 10 has a window for installation. The edging 20 is located inside the window and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the vehicle body 10. The edging 20 protrudes from the bottom surface of the vehicle body 10 and extends downward.
[0026] Preferably, the bottom surface of the edging 20 is provided with an integrally formed baffle, and at least four air intake slots 22 are opened on the bottom surface of the edging 20, with the air intake slots 22 being symmetrically distributed in pairs.
[0027] The positioning structure includes a flipping body 30 and a guide plate 31. The flipping body 30 is a rectangular rod structure. The side wall of the vehicle body 10 is fixedly connected to an ear plate 40. The flipping body 30 is rotatably connected to the ear plate. The guide plate 31 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the flipping body 30. The guide plate 31 and the cutting plate are located on the same axis. The guide plate 31 is circular.
[0028] The top surface of the vehicle body 10 is provided with an elastic element 50. As a supplement to the above solution, the elastic element is an elastic telescopic rod, but not limited to an elastic telescopic rod. The cylinder of the elastic telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 10, and the output shaft of the elastic telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the flipping body 30. The elastic telescopic rod pushes the flipping body 30 to flip downward, so that the guide plate 31 can be inserted into the gap of the tile after the cutting blade has cleaned it. As the vehicle body 10 moves, the guide plate 31 rolls in the gap, thereby limiting the linear movement of the vehicle body 10, guiding the forward path of the cutting blade, suppressing the deviation of the vehicle body 10, thereby reducing the cutting blade from cutting the tile, keeping the tile intact during the cleaning process, and making the protection effect better.
[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The hose connects the suction pipe 21 to the suction port of the vacuum cleaner. As the cutting blade cuts and cleans the gap, a gap is formed between the bottom of the suction pipe 21 and the ground. The rim 20 forms a negative pressure area around the cutting blade. Air and dust are drawn in from the suction port 22 and sucked away by the vacuum cleaner through the suction pipe 21. As the vehicle body 10 moves on the ground, impurities and dust are removed during the cutting and cleaning process of the cutting blade. The elastic telescopic rod pushes the flipping body 30 to flip downward, so that the guide plate 31 can be inserted into the tile gap after the cutting blade has cleaned it. As the vehicle body 10 moves, the guide plate 31 rolls in the gap, thereby limiting the linear movement of the vehicle body 10, guiding the forward path of the cutting blade, suppressing the deviation of the vehicle body 10, and preventing it from cutting the tile.
