[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mosaic tile production technology, and in particular to a hexagonal tile with a strong sense of space and a tile forming device. Background Technology

[0002] Mosaic tiles are a widely used building decoration material, prized for their small size and vibrant colors, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor floors and walls. Various combinations and patterns can be created with mosaic tiles to produce a variety of gradient effects and achieve different decorative goals. Existing mosaic tiles are typically square, but hexagonal mosaic tiles also exist (e.g., those formed using a mold assembly for stretching hexagonal mosaic tiles, as disclosed in Chinese patent document CN206510172U). However, existing hexagonal mosaic tiles often have flat top and bottom surfaces, resulting in weak spatial depth, and they frequently experience issues such as hollow spots and detachment after installation.

[0003] It is evident that existing technologies still need improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a hexagonal ceramic tile with a strong sense of space and a ceramic tile forming device, in order to solve the problems that the top and bottom surfaces of some hexagonal mosaic tiles are mostly flat, resulting in a weak sense of spatial layering, and that hexagonal mosaic tiles often experience hollowing and falling off after installation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A hexagonal tile with a strong sense of space includes a tile body; the shape of the tile body is an stretched hexagon; the top surface of the tile body has two first inclined surfaces that are mirror images of each other, and both first inclined surfaces slope downward towards the outside of the tile body; the bottom of the tile body is provided with a V-shaped groove.

[0007] Optionally, grooves are formed on both sides of the V-shaped groove.

[0008] Optionally, the bottom edge of the tile body has a first bevel, which slopes upward toward the outside of the tile body.

[0009] Optionally, the angle between the first inclined side and the bottom of the tile body is 135°.

[0010] This utility model also provides a ceramic tile forming device for forming the aforementioned hexagonal ceramic tile with a strong sense of space. The device includes a forming operating table, a bottom template movably disposed on the forming operating table, a mold frame fixed above the bottom template and having a cavity, a bottom mold fixed on the bottom template and cooperating with the cavity, an upper template movably disposed above the mold frame, and a surface mold fixed at the bottom of the upper template; the bottom mold and the surface mold correspond to each other.

[0011] Optionally, the shape of the face mold is an stretched hexagon, and the bottom surface of the face mold is two second inclined surfaces used to form the first inclined surface.

[0012] Optionally, the bottom mold is in the shape of an stretched hexagon, and a V-shaped protrusion is provided on the top of the bottom mold, the V-shaped protrusion being used to form a V-shaped groove.

[0013] Optionally, the surface of the V-shaped protrusion is provided with a groove forming part.

[0014] Optionally, the top edge of the bottom mold is provided with a second inclined edge that slopes downward.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a hexagonal ceramic tile with a strong sense of space and a tile forming mold. By designing the top surface of the tile body as two mirror-image first slopes, the spatial three-dimensionality and layering of the hexagonal tile can be cleverly enhanced, making the decorative space appear more spacious and bright. At the same time, the sloped design also gives the tile excellent drainage performance. In environments prone to water accumulation, such as bathrooms and kitchens, the sloped design can quickly drain water from the floor, keeping the floor dry and clean.

When a component is referred to as "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may have an intervening component present.

[0030] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this utility model is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a hexagonal ceramic tile with a strong sense of space, including a tile body 1. The shape of the tile body 1 is an extended hexagon, which maintains the artistic beauty of hexagonal tiles while giving the tiles a more extended and smooth visual effect. It allows for flexible and varied laying methods (such as...). Figure 2 As shown, the tile body 1 can be customized according to different design needs. Whether used as a main tile for a large area or as an accent tile to complement other shaped tiles, it can showcase a unique artistic aesthetic. The top surface of the tile body 1 consists of two mirror-image first slopes 101, both of which slope downwards towards the outer side of the tile body 1. This cleverly enhances the spatial three-dimensionality and layering of the hexagonal tile, making the decorative space appear more spacious and bright. Even small spaces can easily achieve a grand and comfortable effect, easily meeting the personalized decoration needs of different users. At the same time, the sloped design also gives the tile excellent drainage performance. In environments prone to water accumulation, such as bathrooms and kitchens, the sloped design can quickly drain water from the floor, keeping the floor dry and clean. In addition, the sloped design allows the tiles to fit together more tightly during installation, significantly reducing gaps and unevenness. This not only improves the flatness and stability of the installation but also significantly enhances the durability and aesthetics of the tile.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the tile body 1 is further provided with a V-shaped groove 102. The design of the V-shaped groove 102 allows the tile to better adapt to minor unevenness of the wall or floor during installation. By adjusting the angle of the inclined groove surface of the V-shaped groove 102, a tight fit between the tile and the wall or floor can be ensured, reducing gaps and warping. The design of the V-shaped groove 102 also helps the adhesive material to be distributed more evenly on the bottom surface of the tile, which not only improves the adhesion effect and makes the tile more secure after installation, reducing the risk of hollow spots and detachment, but also reduces the waste of adhesive material.

[0033] like Figure 3As shown, optionally, grooves 1021 are formed on both sides of the V-shaped groove 102. The grooves 1021 increase the contact area between the bottom of the tile and the adhesive material, thereby further enhancing the bonding force between the adhesive material and the bottom of the tile. This helps ensure the tile is more firmly installed and reduces the risk of hollow spots and detachment. Furthermore, the design of the grooves 1021 can reduce the weight of the tile without sacrificing its strength, helping to reduce transportation and installation costs while maintaining the tile's durability.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the bottom edge of the tile body 1 has a first inclined edge 103, which slopes upward toward the outside of the tile body 1. This first inclined edge 103 is formed because the draft angle of the tile mold is acute.

[0035] Optionally, the angle between the first inclined side 103 and the bottom of the tile body 1 is 135°, and correspondingly, the draft angle of the tile mold is 45°. A 45° draft angle not only ensures that the tile blank can be smoothly and steadily removed from the mold after molding, but also reduces the direct contact area between the tile blank and the mold, thereby reducing the risk of wear and damage to the tile blank and effectively protecting the quality of the tile surface. Furthermore, a 45° draft angle also helps improve production efficiency, reduce demolding time and difficulty, and accelerate the production pace.

[0036] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, this utility model also provides a ceramic tile forming device for forming the aforementioned hexagonal ceramic tiles with a strong sense of space, including a forming operating table 2, a bottom template 3, a mold frame 4, a bottom mold 5, an upper template 7, and a surface mold 6.

[0037] The bottom template 3 is movably mounted on the molding operation table 2 and can be driven by a hydraulic cylinder mounted on the molding operation table 2. The mold frame 4 is fixed above the bottom template 3 and has a cavity 401. The bottom mold 5 is fixed to the top side of the bottom template 3 and is located within the cavity 401. The upper template 7 is movably mounted above the mold frame 4 and can also be driven by a hydraulic cylinder mounted on the molding operation table 2. The top mold 6 is fixed to the bottom of the upper template 7 and corresponds to the bottom mold 5.

[0038] The face mold 6 and bottom mold 5 are used to form the top and bottom surfaces of the ceramic tile body 1, respectively. In actual production, the blank powder can be applied into the cavity 401 through a fabric grid. After the blank powder falls into the cavity 401, the fabric grid moves out from between the mold frame 4 and the face mold 6. Then, the upper mold plate 7 and the face mold 6 move downwards, causing the face mold 6 to insert downwards into the cavity 401, so that the blank powder in the cavity 401 can be pressed and formed. After the ceramic tile body is formed, demolding is required. During demolding, the bottom mold plate 3 moves upwards, causing the bottom mold 5 to push the formed ceramic tile body out of the mold frame 4, and then the formed ceramic tile body can be removed.

[0039] like Figure 6 As shown, optionally, the shape of the face mold 6 is an stretched hexagon, and the bottom surface of the face mold 6 is two second inclined surfaces 601 used to form the first inclined surface 101.

[0040] like Figure 7 As shown, optionally, the bottom mold 5 is in the shape of an stretched hexagon, and the top of the bottom mold 5 is provided with a V-shaped protrusion 501, which is used to form a V-shaped groove 102.

[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, optionally, the surface of the V-shaped protrusion 501 is provided with a groove forming part 502, which is used to form grooves 1021 on both sides of the groove wall of the V-shaped groove 102.

[0042] like Figure 7 As shown, optionally, the top edge of the bottom mold 5 is provided with a downward inclined second side 503, the setting of which makes the demolding draft angle of the bottom mold 5 acute.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
