Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of construction equipment technology, and in particular to a brick clamp. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of slope protection engineering, traditional construction methods mainly rely on manual handling and assembly of bricks. During the operation, due to the large weight of a single slope protection brick, relying solely on manual handling is not only inefficient but also significantly increases the labor intensity of operators, posing a high risk of occupational health. In addition, during the manual direct assembly of bricks, adjacent bricks may collide due to excessively rapid free fall, causing damage to the brick edges and resulting in unnecessary waste of construction materials.
[0003] When faced with complex terrain or special construction scenarios, traditional methods struggle to guarantee the positioning accuracy of bricks, often requiring multiple adjustments to complete the installation. This deficiency not only prolongs the construction period but also increases the additional costs of manpower and time. Moreover, existing auxiliary tools on the market suffer from inherent defects such as bulky structures and insufficient adjustment flexibility, failing to effectively adapt to the installation needs of slope protection bricks of different specifications.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a safe, reliable, and efficient specialized installation tool to systematically solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model provides a brick clamp to solve the problems of low efficiency and poor safety of existing installation tools.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0030] The following is combined with Figure 1 This invention describes a brick clamp.
[0031] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the brick clamp provided in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the brick clamp provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0033] The lifting rod 100 has symmetrically arranged insertion holes 101 at both ends, which are perpendicular to the axis of the lifting rod 100;
[0034] The vertical rod 200 is vertically connected at its top to the middle section of the lifting rod 100;
[0035] The horizontal bar 300 is vertically connected to the bottom end of the vertical bar 200, and the two ends of the horizontal bar 300 are symmetrically provided with hinge parts 301;
[0036] A pair of clamping rods 400, the first ends of which are respectively connected to the hinge part 301 via hinge shaft 302;
[0037] The clamping plate assembly includes two clamping plates 500 disposed at the second end of a pair of clamping rods 400, and the clamping plates 500 are movable along the length direction of the clamping rods 400;
[0038] The handle has a plug portion that mates with the socket 101.
[0039] The brick clamp provided in this embodiment of the utility model adopts a modular structure design, and the main body includes a lifting rod assembly, an adjusting vertical rod, and a clamping mechanism. The insertion holes 101 at both ends of the lifting rod assembly form a quick docking interface with external auxiliary tools, and the adjusting vertical rod 200 achieves flexible adjustment of the clamp height through a multi-stage telescopic mechanism. The clamping mechanism adopts a symmetrical hinge design, and the clamping part connected to the end of the horizontal rod 300 can automatically adjust the opening and closing angle according to the brick size.
[0040] Therefore, the modular design enables quick assembly and disassembly to adapt to different work scenarios, the symmetrical hinge structure ensures a balanced distribution of clamping force, and the multi-level adjustment mechanism enhances the adaptability of the clamp to bricks of different thicknesses.
[0041] In one embodiment, the lifting rod 100 adopts a hollow tubular structure with internal reinforcing ribs to improve its bending resistance.
[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a sliding groove is provided on the clamping rod 400 along the length direction of the clamping rod 400, and the clamping plate 500 is slidably connected to the sliding groove through the slider 501.
[0043] The sliding connection assembly of the brick clamp provided in this embodiment consists of a precision-machined guide rail and a sliding module. In one embodiment, the sliding module may have built-in anti-friction material to ensure smooth movement under heavy load conditions. The locking mechanism can quickly fix the clamping plate at the 500° position through a single-point operation.
[0044] The sliding connection assembly allows for a wide range of adjustment in clamping spacing to accommodate the handling of bricks of different sizes, while the locking mechanism prevents the clamping plate from shifting unexpectedly during operation.
[0045] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a locking bolt 600 is provided on the slider 501, and the locking end of the locking bolt 600 abuts against the slide groove.
[0046] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the hinge shaft 302 is provided with an angle limiting structure, which includes a limiting protrusion provided on the hinge portion 301 and a limiting groove provided at the end of the clamping rod 400 for limiting cooperation with the limiting protrusion.
[0047] The 600 locking bolt features a double-threaded design with wear-resistant washers on the bolt contact surface to prevent thread damage from repeated tightening. This double-threaded structure enhances locking stability, and the wear-resistant design helps extend the maintenance cycle of critical components.
[0048] In one embodiment, the bolt is made of high-strength alloy and its surface is treated with rust prevention. In addition, the clamp is also equipped with a special torque adjustment tool to achieve precise control of the tightening force.
[0049] The angle limiting mechanism includes an adjustable limiting protrusion with a positioning groove on its surface. A spring-loaded limiting pin allows for segmented locking of the clamping angle. This multi-level angle locking adapts to the clamping needs of bricks of different sizes and also improves the stability of the clamping process.
[0050] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping surface of the clamping plate 500 has a serrated structure, and the opposite sides of the clamping plate 500 are provided with an anti-slip rubber layer.
[0051] The brick clamp provided in this embodiment uses an anti-slip rubber layer on the clamping surface, and the surface elastic layer increases the coefficient of friction through a textured surface. The edges of the anti-slip layer are chamfered to prevent scratching the brick surface.
[0052] This allows for a balance between clamping strength and surface protection, improving clamping reliability under different working conditions and reducing the risk of damage to brick edges.
[0053] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the insertion hole 101 is provided with an annular groove, and the end of the insertion part is provided with an elastic buckle that cooperates with the annular groove.
[0054] According to one embodiment of the present invention, an anti-slip sleeve is provided in the middle of the handle, and the surface of the anti-slip sleeve is provided with a wavy anti-slip texture.
[0055] Optionally, the non-slip grip is made of a highly elastic composite material. The non-slip texture features a multi-directional, staggered pattern to adapt to different grip angles, thus improving operational safety, for example, in wet environments.
[0056] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the vertical rod 200 includes an upper rod body and a lower rod body. The upper rod body is provided with an adjustment through hole 701, and the lower rod body is provided with a positioning hole 702 corresponding to the adjustment through hole 701.
[0057] The vertical rod adjustment assembly includes an upper rod body and a lower rod body and adjusts the height via an adjustment through-hole 701 and a locking mechanism. In one embodiment, the locking mechanism may include a self-locking pin.
[0058] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the vertical rod 200 is threadedly connected to the lifting rod 100, and the vertical rod 200 is threadedly connected to the horizontal rod 300.
[0059] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a reinforcing rib 800 is provided at the connection between the horizontal bar 300 and the vertical bar 200.
[0060] In one embodiment, the vertical rod 200 forms a detachable connection structure with the lifting rod 100 and the horizontal rod 300, and the threaded connection is pre-coated with an anti-adhesion coating to facilitate later maintenance and disassembly.
[0061] The reinforcing rib 800 can increase the bending and torsional resistance of the connection between the horizontal bar 300 and the vertical bar 200, preventing plastic deformation of the clamp when holding heavy objects or operating frequently, and ensuring the geometric stability of the overall structure.
[0062] In use, the brick clamp provided by this utility model involves first threading the lifting rod, vertical rod, and horizontal rod together, adjusting the spacing between the clamping plates to be slightly larger than the brick size, and pre-tightening the sliding groove with locking bolts. The clamp is then lowered vertically until the clamping plates are flush with the brick. Two people work together to hold the handles at both ends and lift the clamp, using the hinge shaft angle limit to maintain stable clamping. The brick is then lifted to the predetermined position and slowly lowered until aligned. The handles are released, allowing the vertical rod to fall naturally, the clamping plates to expand outwards, and the clamp can be removed, completing the non-damaging release of the brick.
[0063] In summary, the brick clamp provided by this utility model significantly improves the overall efficiency of slope protection brick installation operations through its innovative clamping mechanism and buffer protection design. Its modular structure enables rapid adaptation and precise positioning of bricks of different specifications, effectively shortening the single operation cycle and multiplying the construction area per unit time, making it particularly suitable for large-scale continuous construction scenarios.
[0064] Regarding material protection, the progressive clamping mechanism of the brick clamp provided by this utility model, combined with a flexible buffer layer design, completely avoids the brick damage caused by rigid collisions in traditional construction. By optimizing stress distribution and controlling the contact interface, material loss throughout the construction process is significantly reduced, and the stability of project quality is significantly improved.
[0065] Furthermore, the ergonomic design and lightweight structure of the brick clamp provided by this invention significantly reduce the physical exertion of the operator, fundamentally improving work comfort and safety. By strengthening the wear resistance and structural reliability of key components, the tool can maintain stable performance output even under long-term, high-frequency use, providing a solution for the long-term use of construction equipment.
