Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of interior decoration technology, specifically to an auxiliary device for leveling decorative walls to facilitate tile laying. Background Technology

[0002] Tiles, a commonly used building or decorative material, are primarily made from refractory metal oxides and semi-metal oxides through processes such as grinding, mixing, pressing, glazing, and sintering. They are hard, resistant to acids and alkalis, and mainly composed of clay, quartz sand, and other materials. Tiles are widely used for floor paving and wall tiling in kitchens and bathrooms. When laying tiles, tile adhesive is applied to the substrate with a trowel, and then the tiles are laid on top in a predetermined order. During the laying process, mortar is used to fill and seal the grout lines. This is especially crucial for exterior wall tiling, where appropriate colored additives can be added as grout according to customer needs. After laying, the tile surface is tapped with a rubber mallet to ensure it is flat.

[0003] In existing technology, leveling aids are required when laying tiles. Common leveling aids include traditional inserts and bases, as well as push clamps. First, the base is placed between the tile joints. Then, the insert is inserted into the top of the base at a 90° angle to the tile. Finally, the push clamps are used to fully engage the insert in the top of the base until the insert and the groove on the top of the base are in complete contact. This helps workers to level the tiles. When disassembling, a hollow hammer is used to tap the base until the base and insert are separated from the tile joint.

[0004] However, this method is cumbersome to remove the leveling auxiliary device, has low dismantling efficiency, and is even more difficult to remove after the cement has hardened. The dismantling process will damage the base and insert, affecting the reusability of the base and insert.

[0005] In response to this problem, the present invention provides an auxiliary device for leveling decorative walls to facilitate tile laying, thereby solving the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content

[0025] 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.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model provides a wall leveling auxiliary device for facilitating tile laying. It includes a main body 1, a leveling component 2, and a vacuum device 3. The leveling component 2 is located below the main body 1 and includes a first leveling part 201 and a second leveling part 202. The main body 1 has a bottom surface 101, and the first and second leveling parts 201 and 202 have bottom ends 203, which are coplanar with the bottom surface 101. A cavity 204 is provided inside the first and second leveling parts 201 and 202, communicating with the bottom ends 203, which can abut against the tile. The vacuum device 3 is located at the end of the cavity 204 away from the bottom end 203. The vacuum device 3 is configured such that when the bottom end 203 abuts against the tile, the vacuum device 3 can evacuate the cavity 204.

[0027] This embodiment of the auxiliary device for leveling a decorative wall surface to facilitate tile laying uses a leveling component 2. The first leveling part 201 abuts against one tile, and the second leveling part 202 abuts against an adjacent tile. A vacuum chamber 3 then evacuates the cavity 204, causing the two tiles to be subjected to a suction force perpendicular to the wall. Furthermore, the bottom ends 203 of the first and second leveling parts 201 and 202 are coplanar, ensuring the two tiles are coplanar. This device can be used on multiple adjacent tiles, resulting in a level wall surface.

[0028] In this embodiment, the cavity 204 is cylindrical, and the vacuum device 3 includes a piston rod 301 movably connected in the cavity 204. One end of the piston rod 301 is located in the cavity 204, and the other end extends out of the body 1 from the top of the cavity 204. A sealant 302 is installed on the end of the piston rod 301 located in the cavity 204.

[0029] Before use, the bottom of the sealant 302 is coplanar with the bottom surface 101. During use, the bottom surface 101 is pressed tightly against the tile, and the piston rod 301 is moved upwards, causing the sealant 302 to move upwards along the cavity 204. This creates a vacuum between the sealant 302 and the tile in the cavity 204. Air at the end of the cavity 204 furthest from the tile flows out through the gap between the piston rod 301 and the outer casing. The tile experiences a suction force perpendicular to the wall, creating a negative pressure environment within the cavity 204. This negative pressure enhances the adhesion between the tile and the leveling component 2, ensuring the tile remains stable on the wall. Simultaneously, due to the coplanar design of the bottom ends 203 of the first leveling part 201 and the second leveling part 202, adjacent tiles can be precisely aligned, preventing unevenness. Throughout the entire operation, no additional tools or complex steps are required; leveling and fixing can be completed simply by operating the piston rod 301. This design not only improves construction efficiency but also effectively reduces the amount of manual adjustments required, making wall tile installation more convenient and precise.

[0030] Furthermore, a sealing gasket 205 is provided at the bottom 203. The sealing gasket 205 increases the airtightness between the leveling component 2 and the tile, ensuring no air leakage during use, thereby further enhancing the negative pressure effect. In addition, the sealing gasket 205 is made of a highly elastic material, which can automatically adjust its shape under force to adapt to the slight unevenness of the tile surface, ensuring a tight fit between the contact surfaces. This design not only improves the applicability of the device but also effectively extends its service life and reduces performance degradation caused by material aging. At the same time, the installation and replacement of the sealing gasket 205 are extremely convenient, allowing users to quickly complete the operation during routine maintenance without the need for professional tools or complicated procedures, greatly reducing usage costs and maintenance difficulty.

[0031] Furthermore, the sealant 302 has multiple raised rings 303 on its side, arranged in parallel, with the sides of the raised rings 303 in close contact with the cavity wall of the cavity 204. The cross-section of the raised rings 303 can be designed to be slightly larger than that of the cavity 204. The toughness of the sealant 302 is used to make the cavity 204 and the raised surface interference fit, so that the sides of the raised rings 303 are in close contact with the cavity wall of the cavity 204, thereby increasing the airtightness.

[0032] Furthermore, a lifting ring 304 is provided at one end of the piston rod 301 outside the main body 1. The lifting ring 304 is configured such that when the lifting ring 304 is subjected to a force radially away from the piston rod 301, the piston rod 301 can be driven by the lifting ring 304 to move along the cavity 204 towards the top of the cavity 204. In use, by lifting the lifting ring 304, the piston rod 301 is moved, thereby creating a vacuum inside the cavity 204. The outer surface of the lifting ring 304 is designed with anti-slip textures, which can effectively increase the friction between the fingers and the lifting ring 304, ensuring that it is not easy to slip during operation. This user-friendly design not only improves the convenience of use, but also reduces accidents caused by operational errors to a certain extent. In addition, the connection between the lifting ring 304 and the piston rod 301 is reinforced with high-strength material to ensure that it will not loosen or break during long-term use. In this way, the overall stability and reliability of the device are further improved, thereby meeting the usage requirements in different scenarios.

[0033] In this embodiment, the bottom surface 101 is made of metal, preferably a metal with high resistance to deformation, such as a nickel-based alloy. This prevents the bottom surface 101 from bending due to height differences between the two tiles. Even if bending occurs at the end of the material's lifespan, the metal bottom surface 101 will leave a crease, making it easy for construction workers to detect and replace it promptly, thus avoiding tiling quality problems caused by bending of the bottom surface 101. Furthermore, the edges of the bottom surface 101 are finely polished to ensure that it will not scratch the wall or leave obvious marks when in contact with the wall. To further enhance the applicability of the device, the bottom surface 101 is also designed with multiple tiny vent holes. These vent holes can quickly expel air from the cavity 204 during the adsorption process, improving adsorption efficiency and preventing loosening due to pressure imbalance. This design not only improves the operational stability of the device but also effectively reduces construction time and increases overall work efficiency.

[0034] In this embodiment, a reflective groove 4 is provided on the side of the main body 1. The plane 7 where the bottom of the reflective groove 4 is located is perpendicular to the plane 7 where the bottom surface 101 is located. The wall of the reflective groove 4 is perpendicular to the bottom of the groove. A reflective strip 5 made of reflective material is provided at the bottom of the reflective groove 4. Before laying tiles, a level needs to be used to mark the lines. When in use, an auxiliary level can be provided after the main level. The distance between the main level and the auxiliary level is equal to the distance between the reflective groove 4 and the bottom surface 101, so that the laser of the auxiliary level enters the reflective groove 4 and illuminates the reflective strip 5, causing the reflective strip 5 to reflect the laser. Based on this, as long as the reflective strip 5 of each main body 1 reflects, the tile is flat. If the reflective strip 5 of a certain main body 1 does not reflect, that is, the laser of the auxiliary level has not entered the reflective groove 4, it means that the tile at that point is not flat or the auxiliary wall leveling device for facilitating tile laying is damaged. Through this design, construction workers can quickly locate the problem area, thereby adjusting the tiles or replacing the device in time to ensure that the overall laying effect meets the expected standard. The inclusion of reflective groove 4 not only improves construction accuracy but also significantly reduces the time cost of manual inspection, further optimizing work efficiency. Furthermore, reflective strip 5 is made of highly durable reflective material, maintaining stable reflective performance even after prolonged use, adapting to construction needs in various complex lighting environments.

[0035] In this embodiment, a handle 6 is provided at the end of the main body 1 furthest from the bottom surface 101. The handle 6 is designed so that moving the main body 1 by external force can move the main body 1. The design of the handle 6 conforms to ergonomic principles, effectively reducing the operational burden on construction personnel. Its surface is made of non-slip material, ensuring a good grip even in wet or oily environments. In addition, the connection between the handle 6 and the main body 1 is reinforced to withstand greater tensile force, preventing loosening or damage due to frequent use. This structural design not only improves the portability of the device but also enhances its stability and reliability in actual construction, providing a strong guarantee for the smooth progress of the overall paving work.

[0036] Furthermore, a flat surface 7 is provided above the handle 6, parallel to the bottom surface 101. During use, the flat surface 7 needs to be pressed down to ensure the bottom surface 101 is firmly against the tile, facilitating vacuuming by the vacuum pump 3. The flat surface 7 not only improves ease of operation but also effectively prevents tile displacement caused by improper pressing angles. Its surface undergoes special treatment, providing a certain degree of anti-slip performance to ensure stable contact throughout the construction process. In addition, the connection structure between the flat surface 7 and the handle 6 adopts an integrated design, further enhancing overall robustness and extending the device's lifespan. This optimized design allows construction workers to focus more on the tiling process without worrying about the quality of construction being affected by loose or unstable devices.
