Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a tile cutting machine, and more particularly to a tile cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Tiles are widely used as a decorative material in the field of interior decoration. On-site cutting and processing of tiles for decoration is generally done using a manual tile cutting machine. The cutting machine uses an ultra-hard alloy blade to cut a cutting line evenly on the surface of the tile, so that the mechanical force is transmitted along the cutting line and breaks the tile. The cutting principle is similar to that of a diamond glass cutter cutting glass.

[0003] A current patent (publication number: CN223161159U) discloses an easy-to-operate tile cutting machine, including a frame, a base plate on the frame, uprights symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base plate, a tile placement rack on the base plate, a guide rail between the two uprights, and a cutting component slidably mounted on the guide rail. The cutting component includes a guide rail clamp and a handle control component. The guide rail clamp is slidably connected to the guide rail, and the handle control component is elastically rotatably connected to the guide rail clamp via a rotating shaft and an elastic element. A roller cutter and a pressure block are arranged on the side of the handle control component facing the base plate of the frame. The pressure block is rotatably connected to the handle control component, and the pressure block can be magnetically connected or disengaged from the handle control component. This utility model's cutting machine designs the handle control component and the guide rail clamp to be elastically rotatably connected. When the cutting machine is not in use, the roller cutter moves away from the base plate of the frame, and the elastic element pulls the handle control component, preventing the handle from accidentally falling and protecting the roller cutter from damage, thus improving safety.

[0004] While the device in the aforementioned comparative document solves the problem of the cutting head accidentally falling and causing damage to the cutting wheel, the device lacks a secure fixing mechanism. During cutting, the operator needs to hold the tile while cutting, and the tile is prone to shifting due to hand tremors or uneven force, which affects the cutting accuracy and may even cause the tile to break. To solve the above problems, a tile cutting machine is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a tile cutting machine with advantages such as a fixed structure, which solves the problem that existing tile cutting machines, due to the lack of an effective fixed structure during the cutting process, cause the tiles to shift easily due to hand tremors or uneven force, thereby reducing cutting accuracy or even causing the tiles to break.

[0006] The tile cutting machine provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: it includes a U-shaped support plate, and a cutting body is provided at the top of the inside of the U-shaped support plate; The U-shaped support plate has an L-shaped sliding groove on one side. A sliding rod is fixedly connected inside the L-shaped sliding groove. A sliding cylinder is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding rod. A movable block is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding cylinder. A limit block is fixedly connected to the top of the movable block. The other side of the U-shaped support plate has a rotating groove. A fixed rod is fixedly connected inside the rotating groove. A rotating box is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixed rod via a bearing. A movable rod is slidably connected inside the rotating box. A connecting block is fixedly connected to one end of the movable rod. A pad is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block. A U-shaped limit frame is fixedly connected to the top of the pad. A vertical rod is fixedly connected inside the U-shaped limit frame. A clamping plate is slidably connected to the surface of the vertical rod. A limit spring is fitted on the surface of the vertical rod. The two ends of the limit spring are fixedly connected to the top of the clamping plate and the top of the inside of the U-shaped limit frame, respectively. By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting up a cooperative structure of sliding rod, sliding cylinder, movable block, and limiting block, when the tile is placed on the U-shaped support plate, the movable block can be pushed to move along the sliding rod in the L-shaped sliding groove, so that the limiting block contacts the side of the tile. After contact, under the action of the limiting block and the U-shaped support plate, the tile can be initially limited laterally. At the same time, the rotating box can rotate around the fixed rod in the rotating groove, so that the rotating box and the U-shaped support plate are perpendicular to each other. Then, the movable rod is pulled to change the distance between the U-shaped limiting frame and the cutting body. After adjustment, under the action of the U-shaped limiting frame, one side of the tile can be limited. Meanwhile, the clamping plate slides down along the upright due to the elastic force of the limiting spring, and can cooperate with the pad to clamp and fix the tile from top to bottom. This can prevent the tile from shifting due to vibration or external force during the cutting process. Through the multi-directional fixing structure of the U-shaped support plate, limiting block, and U-shaped limiting frame, the tile can be stably limited from the lateral and vertical directions, which can improve the stability during cutting, ensure cutting accuracy, and reduce the occurrence of tile breakage.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting block has an auxiliary hole at the top, the clamping plate has a positioning rod fixedly connected to the bottom, the bottom end of the positioning rod is engaged in the auxiliary hole, the rotating groove has a first inlay groove at the bottom, and the rotating groove has a second inlay groove and a positioning hole at the top. By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting positioning holes and positioning rods, when the device is not in use, people pull the clamping plate and then rotate the rotating box into the rotating groove. After the rotating box is stored, the clamping plate is released, and under the action of the limiting spring, the bottom end of the positioning rod can pass through the positioning hole and be engaged in the auxiliary hole, thereby stabilizing the position of the stored rotating box. By setting the first inlay groove and the second inlay groove, after the rotating box is stored, the first inlay groove can provide an inlay position for the U-shaped limiting frame 306 and the pad, and the second inlay groove can provide an inlay position for the adjusting support foot set at the bottom of the connecting block.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the movable rod is provided with scale lines, and the side of the rotating box is threaded with a fastening bolt, one end of which overlaps the surface of the movable rod. By adopting the above technical solution and setting scale lines, when using the device to cut tiles, people can accurately adjust the length of the movable rod extending out of the rotating box according to the required cutting length of the tile by observing the scale lines. The setting of the fastening bolt allows the movable rod to be tightened after the position is adjusted, so that one end of the fastening bolt is tightly connected to the surface of the movable rod, thereby fixing the relative position between the movable rod and the rotating box and preventing the movable rod from sliding during the cutting process.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting protrusion is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner side of the rotating groove, a limiting groove is formed at the bottom of the rotating box, the limiting protrusion is located on the side of the fixed rod, and the top of the limiting protrusion is engaged in the limiting groove. By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a limiting protrusion and a limiting groove, when the rotating box is perpendicular to the U-shaped support plate, the limiting protrusion can be precisely engaged in the limiting groove, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the rotating box and preventing the rotating box from shifting its angle during use.

[0010] Preferably, a rotating shaft is tightly nested inside the L-shaped sliding groove via a bearing, and a knob and a threaded rod are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft, with the threaded rod shaft end rotatably connected to the inside side of the L-shaped sliding groove. By adopting the above technical solution and by setting a knob, when people turn the knob, they can drive the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby making the threaded rod rotate synchronously.

[0011] Preferably, a threaded cylinder is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod, and the movable block is fixedly connected to the surface of the threaded cylinder; By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a threaded cylinder and a movable block, when the threaded rod rotates, the threaded cylinder will move smoothly along the axial direction of the threaded rod, which can drive the movable block to slide synchronously in the L-shaped sliding groove. This allows the position of the limiting block to be adjusted, making it convenient for people to flexibly adjust the relative position of the limiting block according to the size requirements of the tile.

[0012] Preferably, adjustable support feet are fixedly connected to the four bottom corners of the U-shaped support plate and the bottom of the connecting block; By adopting the above technical solution and setting adjustable support feet, the height and level of the entire device can be flexibly adjusted.

[0013] Preferably, a horizontal bubble is fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped support plate; By adopting the above technical solution and setting a bubble level, the horizontal state of the device can be displayed intuitively.

[0014] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: This tile cutting machine, through a cooperative structure of sliding rod, sliding cylinder, movable block, and limiting block, allows for initial lateral positioning of the tile when it is placed on a U-shaped support plate. The movable block moves along the sliding rod within an L-shaped sliding groove, causing the limiting block to contact the side of the tile. Upon contact, the limiting block and the U-shaped support plate provide initial lateral positioning. Simultaneously, the rotating box is moved out of the rotating groove, making it perpendicular to the U-shaped support plate. Then, the movable rod is pulled to change the distance between the U-shaped limiting frame and the cutting body. After adjustment, the U-shaped limiting frame provides lateral positioning of one side of the tile. Meanwhile, the clamping plate, under the elastic force of the limiting spring, slides downwards along the upright, cooperating with the pad to clamp and fix the tile vertically. This prevents displacement of the tile due to vibration or external force during cutting. The multi-directional fixing structure of the U-shaped support plate, limiting block, and U-shaped limiting frame provides stable lateral and vertical positioning of the tile, improving cutting stability, ensuring cutting accuracy, and reducing tile breakage.

[0017] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 5This application will be described in further detail below.

[0018] Example 1: A tile cutting machine, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 It includes a U-shaped support plate 1, and a cutting body 2 is provided at the top of the inside of the U-shaped support plate 1; The U-shaped support plate 1 has an L-shaped sliding groove 106 on one side. A slide rod 1012 is fixedly connected inside the L-shaped sliding groove 106. A slide cylinder 1013 is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rod 1012. A movable block 1011 is fixedly connected to the surface of the slide cylinder 1013. A limit block 1014 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable block 1011. The other side of the U-shaped support plate 1 has a rotating groove 101. A fixed rod 105 is fixedly connected inside the rotating groove 101. A rotating box 3 is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixed rod 105 via a bearing. A movable rod 301 is slidably connected inside the rotating box 3. One end of the movable rod 301 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 304. A pad 305 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block 304. A U-shaped limiting frame 306 is fixedly connected to the top of the pad 305. A vertical rod 307 is fixedly connected inside the U-shaped limiting frame 306. A clamping plate 308 is slidably connected to the surface of the vertical rod 307. A limiting spring 309 is fitted on the surface of the vertical rod 307. The two ends of the limiting spring 309 are fixedly connected to the top of the clamping plate 308 and the top of the inside of the U-shaped limiting frame 306, respectively. By setting the sliding rod 1012, the sliding cylinder 1013, the movable block 1011, and the limiting block 101, The 4-shaped structure allows the movable block 1011 to move along the slide rod 1012 within the L-shaped sliding groove 106 when the tile is placed on the U-shaped support plate 1. This causes the limiting block 1014 to contact the side of the tile. After contact, the limiting block 1014 and the U-shaped support plate 1 provide initial lateral limiting. Simultaneously, the rotating box 3 is moved out of the rotating groove 101, making it perpendicular to the U-shaped support plate 1. Then, the movable rod 301 is pulled to change the distance between the U-shaped limiting frame 306 and the cutting body 2. After adjustment, the distance between the U-shaped limiting frame 306 and the cutting body 2 is adjusted. Under the action of 306, one side of the tile can be limited. At the same time, the clamping plate 308 slides down along the upright 307 under the elastic force of the limiting spring 309, and can cooperate with the pad 305 to clamp and fix the tile from top to bottom. This can prevent the tile from shifting due to vibration or external force during the cutting process. Through the multi-directional fixing structure of the U-shaped support plate 1, the limiting block 1014 and the U-shaped limiting frame 306, the tile can be stably limited from the horizontal and vertical sides, which can improve the stability during cutting, ensure cutting accuracy and reduce the occurrence of tile breakage.

[0019] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5The connecting block 304 has an auxiliary hole 3011 at its top, and a positioning rod 3010 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping plate 308. The bottom end of the positioning rod 3010 is engaged in the auxiliary hole 3011. The bottom end of the rotating groove 101 has a first inlay groove 102, and the top end of the rotating groove 101 has a second inlay groove 103 and a positioning hole 104. By setting the positioning hole 104 and the positioning rod 3010, when the device is not in use, people pull the clamping plate 308 and then rotate the rotating box 3 to store it in the rotating groove 101. After storage, the clamping plate 308 is released, and the limiting spring 309 acts as a limit. When in use, the bottom end of the positioning rod 3010 can pass through the positioning hole 104 and be engaged in the auxiliary hole 3011, thereby stabilizing the position of the stored rotating box 3. By setting the first inlay groove 102 and the second inlay groove 103, after the rotating box 3 is stored, the first inlay groove 102 provides an inlay position for the U-shaped limiting frame 306 and the pad 305, and the second inlay groove 103 provides an inlay position for the adjusting support foot 4 set at the bottom of the connecting block 304. The surface of the movable rod 301 is provided with scale lines 303, and the rotating box 3 is screwed on the side. The device is connected by a fastening bolt 302, one end of which overlaps the surface of the movable rod 301. By setting a scale line 303, when using the device to cut tiles, the user can precisely adjust the length of the movable rod 301 extending beyond the rotating box 3 according to the required cutting length. The fastening bolt 302, after the movable rod 301 is adjusted, can be tightened to ensure one end is tightly overlapped with the surface of the movable rod 301, thus fixing the relative position between the movable rod 301 and the rotating box 3. This prevents the movable rod from slipping during the cutting process. When 301 slides, a limiting protrusion 1015 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating groove 101. A limiting groove 3012 is opened at the bottom of the rotating box 3. The limiting protrusion 1015 is located on the side of the fixed rod 105. The top of the limiting protrusion 1015 is engaged in the limiting groove 3012. By setting the limiting protrusion 1015 and the limiting groove 3012, when the rotating box 3 is perpendicular to the U-shaped support plate 1, the limiting protrusion 1015 can be accurately engaged in the limiting groove 3012, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the rotating box 3 and preventing the rotating box 3 from deviating in angle during use.

[0020] Please see Figure 4The inner side of the L-shaped sliding groove 106 is tightly nested with a rotating shaft 107 via bearings. A knob 108 and a threaded rod 109 are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft 107, respectively. The end of the threaded rod 109 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the L-shaped sliding groove 106. By setting the knob 108, when people turn the knob 108, they can drive the rotating shaft 107 to rotate, thereby causing the threaded rod 109 to rotate synchronously. A threaded cylinder 1010 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 109. A movable block 1011 is fixedly connected to the surface of the threaded cylinder 1010. By setting the threaded cylinder 1010 and the movable block 1011, when the threaded rod 109 rotates, the threaded cylinder 1010 will move smoothly along the axial direction of the threaded rod 109, which can drive the movable block 1011 to slide synchronously in the L-shaped sliding groove 106. This allows the position of the limiting block 1014 to be adjusted, making it convenient for people to flexibly adjust the relative position of the limiting block 1014 according to the size requirements of the tile.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 Adjustable support feet 4 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the U-shaped support plate 1 and the bottom of the connecting block 304. By setting the adjustable support feet 4, the height and level of the entire device can be flexibly adjusted. A level bubble 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped support plate 1. By setting the level bubble 5, the level status of the device can be displayed intuitively.

[0022] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: When in use, first observe the position of the bubble in the horizontal bubble 5, and then use the adjusting support foot 4 to adjust the device to a horizontal state; Next, rotate the rotating box 3 so that it rotates around the fixed rod 105 out of the rotating groove 101 until the limiting protrusion 1015 is inserted into the limiting groove 3012, ensuring that the rotating box 3 is perpendicular to the U-shaped support plate 1. Then, according to the required cutting length of the tile, refer to the scale line 303 to adjust the length of the movable rod 301 extending out of the rotating box 3. After the adjustment is completed, tighten the fastening bolt 302 to fix the movable rod 301. Subsequently, people pull the clamping plate 308 and place the tile on the pad 305 so that its adjacent sides are respectively attached to the U-shaped limiting frame 306 and the U-shaped support plate 1. After attachment, the clamping plate 308 is released. Under the elastic force of the limiting spring 309, the clamping plate 308 and the pad 305 can clamp and fix the tile from top to bottom. Then, according to the size of the tile, turn the knob 108 to drive the threaded rod 109 to rotate, so that the threaded cylinder 1010 moves along the threaded rod 109, and then drives the limiting block 1014 to slide in the L-shaped sliding groove 106 through the movable block 1011, so that the limiting block 1014 is adjusted to a suitable lateral limiting position. Once fixed, the tile can be stably cut by cutting the main body 2; After cutting, pull the clamping plate 308, and then rotate the rotating box 3 into the rotating groove 101. After storage, release the clamping plate 308. The bottom end of the positioning rod 3010 can pass through the positioning hole 104 and be inserted into the auxiliary hole 3011, thereby stabilizing the position of the stored rotating box 3.
