[0002] In modern building decoration, the laying of hard materials such as tiles and stone is extremely common. For aesthetic purposes, waterproofing, stain resistance, and to prevent dirt and grime from accumulating in the grout lines, it is necessary to fill the gaps after laying the tiles; this is known as grout sealing or applying sealant. Grout sealing typically involves cleaning the gaps and applying sealant (grout sealant). In grout sealing, after applying the sealant, there are also steps of pressing and cleaning the sealant. These steps usually require tools such as grout pressers, scrapers, and shovels.

[0003] In order to avoid the problems of tool loss, multiple tool searching and replacement processes, technicians in related fields have developed a multi-functional integrated grout sealing tool. This tool includes a handle, as well as a scraper, a spatula, and a pressing component integrated on the handle. The scraper and pressing components are located at both ends of the handle, and the pressing component is slidably integrated on the handle. The pressing component can cover or expose the scraper when sliding on the handle. The first end of the pressing component has a glue-applying part. When the pressing component covers the scraper, the glue-applying part extends out of the front end of the scraper, and the glue-applying part can perform the glue-applying work. When the pressing component exposes the scraper, the scraper can perform the glue-scraping work.

[0004] However, the structure in which the heat-pressed parts are slidably integrated into the handle has technical problems such as complex structure, high production cost, and easy damage. Utility Model Content

[0037] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the grout finishing tool includes a handle 100 and a scraper 200. The scraper 200 includes at least two working ends, namely a first scraping part 210 and a spreading part 220. The first scraping part 210 is used for scraping work, such as removing dirt adhering to a flat surface and removing waste glue, etc. The spreading part 220 is used for sealing and applying glue. The interchangeable working ends of the scraper 200 are connected to the first end 110 of the handle 100. In other words, the grout finishing tool provided in this application embodiment has an interchangeable scraper 200 at the first end 110 of the handle 100. Users can select the working end of the scraper 200 according to their needs. For example, when users need to apply the grout evenly, they can switch the glue application part 220 to expose the first end 110 of the handle 100 and use the glue application part 220 as the working end. When performing scraping work, users can switch the first glue application part 210 to expose the first end 110 of the handle 100 and use the first glue application part 210 as the working end. The grout finishing tool provided in this application embodiment has a simple and stable structure, is not easily damaged, is easy to assemble, has low production cost, and the operation of changing the working end of the scraper 200 is simple and convenient.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the adhesive applicator 220 has a connector 221 and a detachable adhesive applicator sleeve 222 fitted onto the connector 221. The adhesive applicator sleeve 222 is detachably fitted onto the connector 221, allowing this component to be replaced. When the adhesive applicator sleeve 222 becomes old, worn, or contaminated with adhesive, it can be replaced. Furthermore, the tip of the adhesive applicator sleeve 222 can be at various angles, allowing the user to select and install an appropriate angle. When it is necessary to replace the adhesive applicator sleeve 222 with one of a different angle, it can be disassembled and replaced, providing flexibility in use.

[0041] In this embodiment of the application, the scraping member 200 may include multiple working ends, including two, for example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the scraper 200 includes four working ends. Of course, it can also include three, five, etc.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the first end 110 of the handle 100 is provided with a first connecting structure, and the scraper 200 is detachably connected to the first connecting structure.

[0043] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first connection structure is a plug-in groove 111. The scraper 200 includes two working ends: a first scraping part 210 and a spreading part 220. One of the scraping part 210 and the spreading part 220 can be selectively inserted into the plug-in groove 111, while the other extends out of the groove, serving as the working end. In other words, the scraper 200 is connected to the handle 100 via a plug-in connection. The portion of the scraper 200 protruding from the plug-in groove 111 is the working end. When the working end needs to be changed, the portion extending into the plug-in groove 111 is replaced, leaving the desired working end exposed outside the groove 111. This arrangement facilitates the replacement of the working end of the scraper 200.

[0044] In some embodiments of this application, a first snap-fit ​​structure 112 is provided in the insertion slot 111, and a second snap-fit ​​structure 230 is provided in the scraper 200. The scraper 200 is detachably snapped into the insertion slot 111 through the cooperation of the second snap-fit ​​structure 230 and the first snap-fit ​​structure 112. For example, the first snap-fit ​​structure 112 is a slot, and the second snap-fit ​​structure 230 is a protrusion. The scraper 200 is detachably snapped into the insertion slot 111 through the cooperation of the protrusion and the slot.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the scraper 200 is provided with a limiting protrusion 240. When the scraper 200 is inserted into the insertion groove 111, the limiting protrusion 240 abuts against the outer edge of the insertion groove 111. That is, the limiting protrusion 240 and the outer edge of the insertion groove 111 cooperate to limit the insertion position of the scraper 200, preventing the scraper 200 from crossing the engagement of the second locking structure 230 and the first locking structure 112 under the action of external force, so that the scraper 200 continues to extend into the insertion groove 111.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, the second end 120 of the handle 100 is provided with a glue-removing part 121, which is used for removing glue from right-angled corners. This feature enhances the functionality of the sealant finishing tool of this application.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the grout finishing tool also includes a slider 122, which is slidably mounted on the handle 100 to cover or expose the grout scraper 121. The slider 122 protects the grout scraper 121 from being used. When the grout scraper 121 is not in use, the slider 122 can slide to cover the grout scraper 121 to prevent the sharp tip of the grout scraper 121 from scratching the user. When the grout scraper 121 is in use, the slider 122 slides to expose the grout scraper 121.

[0048] For example, one end of the slider 122 is provided with a second scraping part 123. When the slider 122 covers the scraping part 121, the second scraping part 123 extends beyond the scraping part 121, serving as the working part of the second end 120 of the handle 100. That is, when the slider 122 covers the scraping part 121, the second scraping part 123 located at the end of the slider 122 extends beyond the scraping part 121, and the second scraping part 123 is used for scraping. The grout finishing tool has two scraping parts, increasing the flexibility of its use. Furthermore, the two scraping parts can be configured with different structural forms to suit different occasions, further increasing the flexibility of the grout finishing tool.

[0049] For example, the slider 122 is made of plastic, and the second scraper part 123 is integrally formed on the slider 122. That is to say, the second scraper part 123 is made of plastic, and the second scraper part 123 can be used in the process of removing the grout. The plastic scraper part can reduce damage to the grout.

[0050] For example, the first scraping part 210 includes a scraper mounting part 211 and a scraper 212, with the scraper 212 detachably mounted on the scraper mounting part 211. The first scraping part 210 is mainly used to remove dirt, waste glue, etc., adhering to the surface. The detachable scraper 212 allows for the replacement of the scraper 212. When the scraper 212 is damaged or has adhering debris, it can be directly replaced.
