Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hand tools, and more specifically, to a tile grouting scraper. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most common tile grouting scraper sets on the market consist of a handle with a scraper head at the front. The typical procedure for grouting involves first squeezing the grout into the tile joints, then using the scraper to press it into the gaps. However, this method results in a significant problem: a large amount of grout overflows onto the sides of the joints. This leads to substantial waste of grout, increasing costs and unnecessarily consuming resources. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the issue of significant grout waste in existing technologies that use tile grouting scrapers to fill tile gaps, this solution proposes a new tile grouting scraper that addresses this problem by creating a scraping area on the scraper body that can hold the grout.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A tile grouting tool set, including

[0006] The plate body is provided with a gripping part for grasping;

[0007] A scraper blade is attached to the plate body and forms a scraping area on the scraper blade to receive slurry.

[0008] In use, squeeze the grout into the tile grout lines, cover the grout lines with the scraper's scraping area, and then hold the scraper by the handle and pull it along the grout lines. The grout will be scraped into the grout lines. Outside the grout lines, as the scraper moves, the scraper blade adheres to the tile, continuously moving the grout outside the grout lines, thus preventing grout residue from remaining outside the grout lines. The scraper provided in this application can basically completely fill the tile grout lines, leaving no grout residue outside the grout lines, greatly avoiding grout waste, and is easy to operate.

[0009] In a tile grouting tool provided in this application, a plurality of scraper blades are further included, connected to the plate body and spaced apart to form a multi-level scraping zone with a main scraping zone and a secondary scraping zone on the plate body. The main scraping zone is used to hold most of the grout, while the secondary scraping zone can hold a smaller portion. When the scraper moves along the tile grout, some grout in the main scraping zone will leak out, resulting in poor scraping effect. The purpose of setting up the secondary scraping zone is to allow the grout leaking from the main scraping zone to enter the secondary scraping zone, and under the action of the scraper blades in the secondary scraping zone, to perform secondary or multiple scrapings on the tile, thereby avoiding grout residue on the tile.

[0010] In a tile grouting trowel provided in this application, the main grouting area is the region formed by the front scraper blades along the trowel's forward path, and the secondary grouting area is the interval area formed between adjacent scraper blades. The main grouting area, enclosed by the front scraper blades, helps to expand its capacity, allowing for a larger amount of grout to be held at once. The secondary grouting area, located in the interval between the scraper blades, can collect any remaining grout from the main grouting area and can also perform secondary or multiple scraping operations on any remaining grout on the tile, thus enabling the work to be completed in one go and improving efficiency.

[0011] In a tile grouting tool provided in this application, the scraper blades are further shaped into V-shapes. Multiple V-shaped scraper blades are connected parallel and spaced apart on the plate body, forming a triangular main scraping area and a V-shaped strip-shaped secondary scraping area on the plate body. As the scraper advances on the tile, the grout flows orderly along the V-shape, gradually concentrating towards the rounded apex of the triangle. During this converging process, the distribution of the grout becomes more concentrated and orderly. In this way, during the scraping operation, the grout can smoothly enter the tile gaps. This greatly improves the effect and efficiency of grout filling tile gaps, ensuring that the tile gaps are fully and evenly filled, making the entire tiled area more aesthetically pleasing and durable.

[0012] In a tile grouting tool provided in this application, the scraper blades are further characterized by their arc shape. Multiple arc-shaped scraper blades are connected parallel and spaced apart on the plate body, forming an arc-shaped main scraping area and an arc-shaped strip-shaped secondary scraping area on the plate body. As the scraper advances on the tile, the grout flows orderly along the arc-shaped scraper blades, gradually concentrating towards the base of the arc. During this converging process, the distribution of the grout becomes more concentrated and orderly. In this way, during the scraping operation, the grout can smoothly enter the tile gaps. This significantly improves the effect and efficiency of grout filling tile gaps, ensuring that the tile gaps are fully and evenly filled, making the entire tiled area more aesthetically pleasing and durable.

[0013] In a tile grouting scraper provided in this application, the scraper body is further provided with a concave corner portion, and a plurality of scraper blades are connected to the concave corner portion. Each scraper blade has a notch. Scrapers with concave corner portions are typically used for protruding wall corners. The shape of the notch generally matches the shape of the wall corner. In use, the notch of the concave corner portion is placed against the wall corner where the grout is extruded, and the grout is scraped into the tile grout. In a tile grouting scraper provided in this application, the scraper body is further provided with a convex corner portion, and a plurality of scraper blades are connected to the convex corner portion. Each scraper blade has a protrusion. Scrapers with convex corner portions are typically used for recessed wall corners. The shape of the protrusion generally matches the shape of the wall corner. In use, the protrusion of the convex corner portion is placed against the wall corner where the grout is extruded, and the grout is scraped into the tile grout.

[0014] In a tile grouting scraper provided in this application, the scraper body is further provided with an observation hole, which is connected to the scraping area. The observation hole on the scraper can be used to observe the condition of the grout in the scraping area.

[0015] In the tile grouting tool provided in this application, the scraper blade is further made of a flexible material. The flexible material makes the scraper blade more flexible in texture. Compared to scraper blades made of ordinary materials, scraper blades made of flexible materials can better conform to the surface contours of the tile when in contact with it, and can fit more closely to the tile surface, whether it is flat or has some minor unevenness.

[0016] In a tile grouting scraper provided in this application, the plate body further includes a first flat plate and a second flat plate, the ends of which are integrally connected, forming an angle between them. The angle serves to ensure that when the scraping area on the first plate body is in contact with the tile, the second plate body is raised. Conversely, when the scraping area on the second plate body is in contact with the tile, the first plate body is raised. The first and second plates operate independently without interfering with each other.

[0017] In a tile grouting trowel provided in this application, the bottom of the first flat plate is provided with a first scraper area, on which multiple V-shaped scrapers are connected and spaced apart. The bottom of the second flat plate is provided with a second scraper area, on which multiple arc-shaped scrapers are connected and spaced apart. The first scraper area is specifically designed with V-shaped scrapers, while the second scraper area is specifically designed with arc-shaped scrapers. This unique design cleverly integrates the advantages of two different shaped scrapers onto one scraper, allowing for their respective use as needed.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0019] This application provides a tile grouting tool. Grout is applied to the tile joints, and the scraping area of ​​the tool covers the joints. The tool is then held by the handle and pushed or pulled along the joints, scraping the grout into the grout. Outside the joints, the scraper continuously moves the grout along the tile surface, preventing grout residue. This tool effectively fills the tile joints completely, eliminating grout residue and significantly reducing grout waste. It is also easy to use. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of this application described herein. In this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "middle," "vertical," "horizontal," "lateral," and "longitudinal," etc., indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily for better description of this application and its embodiments and are not intended to limit the indicated devices, elements, or components to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Furthermore, some of the above terms may be used to indicate other meanings besides orientation or positional relationships; for example, the term "upper" may in some cases indicate a dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example 1

[0034] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this application provides a tile grouting scraper, including a plate body 100 and a scraper blade 200. The plate body 100 is provided with a gripping part 110 for holding. The scraper blade 200 is connected to the plate body 100 and forms a scraping area 300 on the scraper blade to receive grout. The grout can be a tile grout sealant or other grouting materials (such as white cement, tile adhesive, etc.).

[0035] In use, the grout is squeezed onto the tile grout lines, and the scraping area 300 of the scraper is placed over the grout lines. Then, holding the gripping part 110 of the scraper body 100, the scraper is pushed or pulled along the tile grout lines, and the grout is scraped into the grout lines. Outside the tile grout lines, as the scraper moves, the scraper blade 200 adheres to the tile, continuously moving the grout outside the grout lines, thus preventing grout residue from remaining outside the grout lines. The tile grout sealing combination scraper provided in this application can basically completely fill the tile grout lines, leaving no grout residue outside the grout lines, greatly avoiding waste of grout, and is easy to operate.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the plate 100 may be provided with an observation hole 120, which is connected to the scraping area 300. The observation hole 120 on the scraper facilitates observation of the remaining slurry in the scraping area 300.

[0037] The scraper blade 200 can be made of flexible materials, such as rubber, silicone, or polyurethane. Flexible materials make the scraper blade 200 softer, more elastic, and more wear-resistant. Compared to scraper blades made of ordinary materials, the flexible material scraper blade 200 better conforms to the surface contours of the tile when in contact with it, regardless of whether the tile surface is flat or uneven. Example 2

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, there can be multiple scraper blades 200. Multiple scraper blades 200 are connected to the plate 100, and adjacent scraper blades 200 are distributed at intervals to form a multi-level scraping area 300 with a main scraping area 310 and a secondary scraping area 320 on the plate 100.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the main scraping area 310 is used to hold most of the grout, while the secondary scraping area 320 can hold a smaller portion. If grout leaks out of the main scraping area 310 when the scraper moves along the tile joints, the scraping effect will be poor. The purpose of the secondary scraping area 320 is to allow grout leaking from the main scraping area 310 to enter the secondary scraping area 320, where the scraper blade 200 will drive the grout to perform secondary or multiple scraping operations on the tile, thus preventing grout residue from remaining on the tile.

[0040] In this application, the main scraping zone 310 can be the area formed by the front scraper blade 200 along the scraper's forward path. The secondary scraping zone 320 can be the interval area formed between adjacent scraper blades 200. The main scraping zone 310 is the area enclosed by the front scraper blades 200, which helps to expand the capacity of the main scraping zone 310, allowing for a larger amount of slurry to be added at one time. The secondary scraping zone 320 is located in the interval area between the scraper blades 200, which can receive the slurry remaining in the main scraping zone 310, and can also perform secondary or multiple scraping of the slurry remaining on the tile, thereby enabling the operation to be completed in one go and improving efficiency. Example 3

[0041] like Figure 3As shown, in this application, the scraper 200 can be V-shaped. Multiple V-shaped scrapers 210 are connected parallel and spaced apart on the plate 100, forming a triangular main scraping area 311 and a V-shaped secondary scraping area 321 on the plate 100. As the scraper advances on the tile, the grout flows orderly along the V-shaped guide of the scraper 200, gradually concentrating towards the triangular apex of the rounded head of the scraper 200. During this converging process, the grout distribution becomes more concentrated and orderly. In this way, during the scraping operation, the grout can smoothly enter all the tile gaps. This greatly improves the effect and efficiency of grout filling tile gaps, ensuring that the tile gaps are fully and evenly filled, making the entire tiled area more aesthetically pleasing and durable. Example 4

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown in this application, the scraper 200 can be arc-shaped. Multiple arc-shaped scraper blades 220 are connected parallel and spaced apart on the plate 100, forming an arc-shaped main scraping area 312 and an arc-shaped strip-shaped secondary scraping area 322 on the plate 100. As the scraper advances on the tile, the grout flows orderly along the arc-shaped scraper blades 200, gradually concentrating towards the base of the arc-shaped scraper blades 220. During this converging process, the distribution of the grout becomes more concentrated and orderly. In this way, during the scraping operation, the grout can smoothly enter the tile gaps. This method greatly improves the effect and efficiency of grout filling the tile gaps, ensuring that the tile gaps are fully and evenly filled, making the entire tiled area more aesthetically pleasing and durable. Example 5

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, in this application, the plate 100 includes a first plate 130 and a second plate 140, with their ends integrally connected and forming an angle between them. The angle serves to ensure that when the scraping area 300 on the first plate 100 is attached to the tile, the second plate 100 is raised. Conversely, when the scraping area 300 on the second plate 100 is attached to the tile, the first plate 100 is raised.

[0044] like Figure 4As shown, the bottom of the first plate 130 is provided with a first scraper 200 area, on which multiple V-shaped scrapers 210 are connected, spaced apart. The bottom of the second plate 140 is provided with a second scraper 200 area, on which multiple arc-shaped scrapers 220 are connected, spaced apart. The first scraping area 300 of the equipment is specifically designed with V-shaped scrapers 200, while the second scraping area 300 is specifically designed with arc-shaped scrapers 200. This unique arrangement cleverly utilizes the advantages of two different scraper shapes simultaneously. Example 6

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown in this application, the plate 100 has a concave corner portion 400, and multiple scraper blades 200 are connected to the concave corner portion 400. Each scraper blade has a notch 410. Scrapers with concave corner portions 400 are typically used for protruding wall corners. The shape of the notch 410 generally matches the shape of the wall corner. In use, the notch 410 of the concave corner portion 400 is fitted against the wall corner where the grout is extruded, and the grout is scraped into the tile joints.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown in this application, the plate body 100 is provided with a corner portion 500, and a plurality of scraper blades 200 are connected to the corner portion 500. The scraper blades have protrusions 510. The scraper blade with the corner portion 500 is usually used for recessed wall corners. The shape of its protrusions 510 generally matches the shape of the wall corner. In use, the protrusions 510 of the corner portion 500 are attached to the wall corner where the grout is extruded, and the grout is scraped into the tile gaps.

[0047] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above illustratively. This description is not restrictive, and the figures shown are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited to this. Therefore, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
