Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tile laying application, specifically to a tile leveling device. Background Technology

[0002] Tiles are a type of acid- and alkali-resistant ceramic or stone building or decorative material made from refractory metal oxides and semi-metal oxides through grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing, and sintering processes. The raw materials are a mixture of clay, quartz sand, and other materials.

[0003] To ensure flatness during tile laying, construction workers use tile levelers to assist in leveling the tiles. However, existing conventional tile levelers have the following practical technical problems: 1. The base plate of the tile leveler is laid under the tiles. After the tiles are laid and leveled, the tile leveler needs to be removed. However, due to its structure, disassembly and reassembly are inconvenient, leaving many residual components at the bottom, which affects the aesthetics of the cement gaps between tiles, impacting the consistency and appearance of the gaps later on. 2. Existing tile levelers are basically only suitable for tiles of the same thickness and horizontal gap distance. For tiles of different thicknesses and horizontal gap distances, multiple sizes of tile levelers need to be purchased, increasing construction costs and reducing ease of use. Therefore, a new tile leveling device is urgently needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
