Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brick counting rod technology, specifically a brick counting rod assembly for assisting in brick laying. Background Technology

[0002] A brickwork gauge, also known as a brickwork ruler, is a marker post marked with the number of brick courses, brick joint thickness, and elevation positions of door and window openings, lintels, ring beams, and the bottom of floor beams. It is typically placed at wall corners, at the junction of interior and exterior walls, in stairwells, and in areas with many openings, and is generally required to be placed no more than 10-15 meters apart. It is usually made of wood. It serves as a marker to control the vertical construction of masonry, ensuring consistent brick course counts and mortar edge thickness. Besides masonry work, brickwork gauges are also used in tiling projects.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN222066250U, which discloses an auxiliary device for constructing exposed brick walls using old bricks. The device includes: a base with foldable casters on its lower surface; two brick gauge assemblies arranged side-by-side on the upper surface of the base; two translation cylinders respectively positioned outside the two brick gauge assemblies and driving them to move relative to or away from each other; multiple liftable support assemblies mounted on the base; and a fixed insert located at the edge of the base and vertically downwards. This invention, by incorporating two brick gauge assemblies with a red-line laser emitter, improves the overall levelness. Furthermore, the distance between the two brick gauge assemblies can be adjusted according to different wall widths, making it widely applicable.

[0004] The aforementioned patent has the following shortcomings: although it can adjust the spacing between the two brick-laying rods to adapt to walls of different widths, it cannot meet the construction needs of the wall when the wall width is larger than the overall width of the device. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the device with a larger one for construction. Furthermore, when the device is placed on uneven ground, the two support components cannot fit against the inclined ground, thus failing to provide stable support for the device. Therefore, we propose a brick-laying rod component to assist in brick laying. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4In this embodiment of the utility model, a brick counting rod assembly for assisting in brick laying includes: a first support plate 1 and a second support plate 2. A brick counting rod 3 is connected to one corner of the top of both the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 2. A winding mechanism 4 is provided between the tops of the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 2. A locking mechanism 5 is provided on the winding mechanism 4. A lifting mechanism 6 is provided on the top of both the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 2. The two lifting mechanisms 6 extend to the bottom of the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 2 respectively. A leveling mechanism 7 is provided on both lifting mechanisms 6.

[0025] Specifically, by pulling the locking mechanism 5 to release the lock on the unwinding mechanism 4, the second support plate 2 can be pulled away from the first support plate 1 and the unwinding mechanism 4 can be unwound, thereby adjusting the distance between the two gauge rods 3 so that the two gauge rods 3 can be adapted to the construction of walls of different widths. After the adjustment is completed, the locking mechanism 5 can be released to lock the unwinding mechanism 4 again, so that the unwinding mechanism 4 will no longer unwind, and the distance between the two gauge rods 3 can be fixed. By adjusting the angle of the two leveling mechanisms 7 to match the angle of the inclined ground, the two lifting mechanisms 6 are activated to drive the two leveling mechanisms 7 to descend to the ground, which can lift the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 2, which can not only level the gauge rod 3 assembly, but also stably support the ground on different inclines.

[0026] Example 2:

[0027] Please see Figures 2-3In this embodiment of the utility model, an auxiliary brick-laying counting rod assembly includes a winding mechanism 4 comprising two vertical plates 401, a winding drum 402, an anti-winding rope 403, and a fixing post 404. Both vertical plates 401 are connected to the top of a first support plate 1. The winding drum 402 is rotatably connected between the two vertical plates 401. The anti-winding rope 403 is wound around the outer surface of the winding drum 402. The fixing post 404 is connected to the top of a second support plate 2, and one end of the anti-winding rope 403 is connected to one side of the fixing post 404. The locking mechanism 5 includes a rotating rod 501, a fixing plate 502, a sliding groove 503, a slider 504, a handle 505, a spring 506, an annular insert rod 507, and an annular insertion hole 508. The rotating rod 501 is rotatably connected to the top of one of the vertical plates 401. The rotating rod 501 extends to the back of one of the vertical plates 401 and is connected to one end of the anti-winding rope 403. The fixing plate 502 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 501. The slide groove 503 is opened on the outer surface of the rotating rod 501. The slider 504 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 503. The handle 505 is sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating rod 501, and the inner surface of the handle 505 is connected to the outer surface of the slider 504. The spring 506 is connected between the handle 505 and the fixing plate 502, and the spring 506 is located outside the rotating rod 501. The annular insert rod 507 is connected to the back of the handle 505. The annular insertion hole 508 is opened on the front of one of the vertical plates 401, and the annular insert rod 507 is movably inserted into the inside of the annular insertion hole 508.

[0028] Specifically, pulling the handle 505 causes the slider 504 to slide on the inner wall of the groove 503, causing the annular rod 507 to retract from the annular insertion hole 508, releasing the lock on the rotating rod 501. At the same time, the spring 506 is compressed, pulling the second support plate 2 to move through the four universal wheels 8. Under the action of the fixed column 404, the anti-winding rope 403 is unwound on the unwinding drum 402. After adjustment, the handle 505 is released, and the spring 506 will reset, causing the handle 505 to move in the opposite direction, so that the annular rod 507 is reinserted into the annular insertion hole 508, locking the rotating rod 501 again, so that the unwinding drum 402 can be fixed, and the anti-winding rope 403 will no longer unwind. At this time, the first support plate 1 is supported on the ground by the two lifting mechanisms 6 and the two leveling mechanisms 7, so that the distance between the two gauge rods 3 can be adjusted, allowing the two gauge rods 3 to adapt to the construction of walls of different widths.

[0029] Example 3:

[0030] Please see Figures 1-4In this embodiment of the utility model, an auxiliary brick-laying counting rod assembly includes a lifting mechanism 6 comprising two cylinders 601, two support rods 602, and two connecting blocks 603. The two cylinders 601 are connected to the top of the first support plate 1, and the output ends of the two cylinders 601 extend to the bottom of the first support plate 1. The two support rods 602 are respectively connected to the output ends of the two cylinders 601. The two connecting blocks 603 are respectively connected to the bottom ends of the two support rods 602. The leveling mechanism 7 includes a crossbar 701 and a rubber plate 702. The crossbar 701 is fixedly connected to the adjacent side of the two connecting blocks 603. The rubber plate 702 is hinged to the outer surface of the crossbar 701, and the bottom of the rubber plate 702 is provided with anti-slip texture. The bottom of the first support plate 1 and the second support plate 2 are each connected to multiple casters 8.

[0031] Specifically, the rubber plate 702 is rotated so that its tilt angle matches the current ground angle. The output ends of the two cylinders 601 are activated, which drive the connecting block 603 to descend via the two support rods 602. The two connecting blocks 603 drive the rubber plate 702 to descend via the crossbar 701, allowing the rubber plate 702 to fit against the inclined ground. This supports the first support plate 1, so that the gauge rod 3 assembly can not only adjust the two gauge rods 3 to a horizontal state, but also support the entire assembly on different inclined surfaces.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two gauge rods 3, the operator only needs to pull the handle 505. The handle 505 drives the slider 504 to slide on the inner wall of the groove 503, causing the annular insert rod 507 to retract from the annular insertion hole 508, thereby releasing the lock on the rotating rod 501. At the same time, the spring 506 is compressed. At this time, the second support plate 2 can be pulled to move, thereby driving the anti-winding rope 403 to unwind under the action of the fixed column 404, and the unwinding drum 402 will rotate. After the adjustment is completed, the handle 505 is released, the spring 506 will reset, and the handle 505 will move in the opposite direction, causing the annular insert rod 507 to re-insert into the annular insertion hole 508, locking the rotating rod 501 again, thereby fixing the unwinding drum 402 and preventing the anti-winding rope 403 from unwinding. At this point, the first support plate 1 is supported on the ground by two lifting mechanisms 6 and two leveling mechanisms 7, which can adjust the distance between the two gauge rods 3, so that the two gauge rods 3 can be adapted to the construction of walls of different widths. After the distance between the two gauge rods 3 is adjusted, the rubber plate 702 is rotated so that the angle of the rubber plate 702 is in contact with the current ground angle. Then, the two cylinders 601 are activated. The output ends of the two cylinders 601 drive the connecting block 603 to descend through the two support rods 602. The two connecting blocks 603 drive the rubber plate 702 to descend through the crossbar 701, so that the rubber plate 702 is lower than the eight casters 8 and is in contact with the inclined ground, thus supporting the first support plate 1. This not only adjusts the two gauge rods 3 to a horizontal state, but also supports the entire component on the ground with different inclines.

[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention.
