Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seam cleaning, specifically a multifunctional seam cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of building decoration engineering, especially in the repair and decoration of houses and structures, it is often necessary to lay tiles on the ground and walls. During the tile laying process, a large number of cross clamps are needed to ensure the flatness of the tiles. After the laying is completed, the cross clamps in the tile gaps need to be removed by the workers, and the gaps need to be cleaned before the grout sealing work can be carried out. However, traditional grout cleaning tools have some problems.

[0003] The current method of cleaning grout lines mostly involves workers using a hook knife to hook pliers from the tile gaps, and then pulling them out with pliers. Since there are many pliers, this method can easily lead to hand fatigue for workers. Furthermore, after the pliers are removed, cement impurities in the gaps need to be cleaned again. This method increases the overall workload and reduces the overall efficiency of grout cleaning.

[0004] In summary, the above structure is very likely to cause hand fatigue for workers during actual operation, and the seam cleaning method increases the overall workload and reduces the overall seam cleaning efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional seam cleaning device to solve the technical problem that in actual operation, it is easy to cause hand fatigue for workers, and the seam cleaning method increases their overall workload and reduces the overall seam cleaning efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multifunctional grout cleaner, including a dust collection box, with a hook knife provided at one end of the inner side of the dust collection box, a certain gap between the top of the hook knife and the bottom of the dust collection box, a double-edged blade provided at the bottom of the dust collection box on one side of the hook knife, the double-edged blade being V-shaped in shape, and the included angle at its bottom end being adjustable in conjunction with the dust collection box, and a scraping cone provided at the inner side of the dust collection box away from the hook knife.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the bottom end of the hook blade is inserted into the tile gap. During the forward pushing process, the caliper will lock between the dust collection box and the hook blade. The caliper can be removed by prying the dust collection box. The operation is easy and effortless, and the hands will not feel tired even after long-term work. Furthermore, a double-edged blade is folded at the bottom of the dust collection box.

[0009] Preferably, the worker can also insert the cleaning cotton into the slot. As the cleaning cotton slides along with the dust collection box in the gap, it can also clean the side wall of the tile gap, which helps prevent black lines from occurring during the subsequent grouting process. This process further improves the overall practicality of the device.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom end of the double-edged blade is flush with the bottom end of the hook knife, and the bottom end of the scraper cone is higher than the bottom end of the hook knife.

[0011] Preferably, as the double-edged blade moves within the gap, it can also scrape up the hard cement in the gap, and then discharge it into the dust collection box under the action of the double-edged blade. Since the bottom of the scraper is higher than the bottom of the hook blade, the bottom of the cleaning cotton will not come into contact with the bottom of the tile gap during the sliding process, ensuring the cleanliness of the bottom of the cleaning cotton. The staff can adjust the position of the cleaning cotton to make full use of the cleaning cotton.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a sealing cotton is provided inside the double-edged blade on the inner side of the dust collection box, and the sealing cotton is detachable inside the dust collection box.

[0013] Preferably, the sealing cotton can prevent cement impurities that enter the dust collection box through the double-edged blade from leaking out, thus improving the sealing effect of the dust collection box and effectively reducing dust dispersion.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the distance between the top of the hook blade and the bottom of the dust collection box is greater than the overall thickness of the cross caliper.

[0015] Preferably, as the hook knife slides within the gap, the caliper can be stably engaged in the top gap, further improving the overall cleaning stability.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that the double-edged blade itself is integrally formed from an elastic material.

[0017] Preferably, the operator adjusts the clamping angle of the bottom of the double-edged blade through the dust collection box.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the front end of the hook knife is provided with an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is smooth.

[0019] Preferably, when the inclined surface is moved within the tile gap, the caliper facing the gap can be lifted by the inclined surface and then locked into the gap between it and the dust collection box. This makes it suitable for calipers in different situations. Furthermore, the smooth surface at the top reduces the sliding friction between the caliper and the caliper, ensuring stable locking during the sliding of the dust collection box.

[0020] The present invention is further provided with a protective sleeve at the bottom of the dust collection box on the contact surface of the tile.

[0021] Preferably, the protective cover prevents the bottom of the dust collection box from directly contacting the tile, thus protecting the tile surface and preventing the dust collection box itself from causing scratches to the tile surface during sliding.

[0022] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0023] This invention features a hook knife on one side of the dust collection box. The bottom of the hook knife engages with the tile grout, and as it is pushed forward, a cross-shaped caliper engages between the dust collection box and the hook knife. The caliper can then be removed by prying the dust collection box. The operation is easy and effortless, and hands will not feel fatigued even after prolonged use. Furthermore, a double-edged blade is folded at the bottom of the dust collection box. As the hook knife is pushed forward, the double-edged blade collects cement impurities from the grout into the dust collection box. This allows for quick cleaning of the tile grout while removing the caliper. Compared to traditional single grout cleaning tools, this device greatly improves the flexibility and practicality of use.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0031] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0032] First embodiment:

[0033] Please see Figures 1-4 The multi-functional grout cleaner shown includes a dust collection box 1, a double-edged blade 3, a cleaning mechanism, and a sealing mechanism. A hook 4 is provided at one end of the inner side of the dust collection box 1. There is a certain gap between the top of the hook 4 and the bottom of the dust collection box 1. In use, the hook 4 is inserted into the grout lines of the tiles, and then the dust collection box 1 is pushed forward. Because the distance between the top of the hook 4 and the bottom of the dust collection box 1 is greater than the overall thickness of the caliper, the caliper can be stably engaged in the top gap as the hook 4 slides within the grout lines. The caliper can then be removed by prying the dust collection box 1. The operation is easy and effortless, and even after prolonged use, the hand will not feel fatigued. Furthermore, the bottom of the dust collection box 1... A double-edged blade 3 is located on one side of the hook 4, and the double-edged blade 3 is V-shaped. During the sliding process, the double-edged blade 3 will discharge cement dust in the gaps into the dust collection box 1. At the same time, a sealing cotton 5 is installed inside the double-edged blade 3 on the inner side of the dust collection box 1. The sealing cotton 5 is detachable and can prevent cement impurities that enter the dust collection box 1 through the double-edged blade 3 from leaking out, thereby improving the sealing effect of the dust collection box 1 and effectively reducing dust flying. This allows for quick cleaning of tile gaps while removing the cross pliers. Compared with traditional single grout cleaning tools, this device greatly improves the flexibility and practicality of use.

[0034] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2The double-edged blade 3 is made of a single piece of elastic material. The angle of the blade 3 can be adjusted by the dust collection box 1. When dealing with tile gaps of different spacing, the width of the blade 3 can be adjusted according to the actual situation, achieving all-round cleaning without dead angles and improving the overall applicability of the device. The bottom of the dust collection box 1 is equipped with a protective sleeve on the contact surface with the tile. The protective sleeve prevents the bottom of the dust collection box 1 from directly contacting the tile, protecting the tile surface and preventing the dust collection box 1 from scratching the tile surface during sliding.

[0035] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 The hook 4 has an inclined surface at its front end, and the inclined surface is smooth. When the hook 4 moves in the tile gap, it can lift the cross caliper that is deep in the gap and then lock it into the gap between it and the dust collection box 1. This makes it suitable for cross calipers in different situations. The smooth surface at the top reduces the sliding friction between it and the cross caliper, ensuring stable locking during the sliding of the dust collection box 1.

[0036] Second embodiment:

[0037] Please see Figure 2 The multifunctional grout cleaner shown has an overall structure similar to that of Embodiment 1. A scraper cone 2 is located on the inner side of the dust collection box 1, away from the hook knife 4. A notch is provided at the bottom of the scraper cone 2, and a groove 6 is formed between the scraper cone 2 and the dust collection box 1 on one side of the notch. The groove 6 can be used to hold cleaning cotton. Workers can also hold the cleaning cotton inside the groove 6. As the cleaning cotton slides along with the dust collection box 1 within the grout, it can clean the sidewalls of the tile grout, facilitating the subsequent grout sealing process and preventing black lines. This process further improves the overall practicality of the device.

[0038] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 The bottom of the double-edged blade 3 is flush with the bottom of the hook knife 4, and the bottom of the scraper cone 2 is higher than the bottom of the hook knife 4. As the double-edged blade 3 moves in the gap, it can also scrape up the hard cement in the gap. Then, under the action of the double-edged blade 3, it is discharged into the dust collection box 1. Since the bottom of the scraper cone 2 is higher than the bottom of the hook knife 4, the bottom of the cleaning cotton will not come into contact with the bottom of the tile gap during the sliding process, ensuring the cleanliness of the bottom of the cleaning cotton. The staff can adjust the position of the cleaning cotton to make full use of the cleaning cotton.

[0039] In practical operation, this invention works as follows: The hook 4 at the bottom of the dust collection box 1 is inserted into the gap between the tiles. Then, the worker pushes the dust collection box 1 to one side. Due to the gap between the hook 4 and the dust collection box 1, the cross-shaped calipers will engage in this gap during the movement. By prying the dust collection box 1, the cross-shaped calipers can be easily removed. Furthermore, the bottom of the dust collection box 1 is equipped with a double-edged blade 3. As the hook 4 slides, the double-edged blade 3 moves accordingly, discharging cement impurities from the tile gaps into the double-edged blade 3, which are then collected by the dust collection box 1. This process achieves both the removal of the cross-shaped calipers and the rapid cleaning of the tile gaps.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, provided that such modifications, substitutions, and variations are within the scope of the claims of the present invention and are protected by patent law.
