[0017] 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. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] A mortar thickness control tool for masonry includes a first side plate 1 and a second side plate 2 arranged in parallel. During masonry construction, the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 can be placed on both sides of a masonry block, and mortar can be filled between the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2. Adjusting plates 3 are vertically fixed at both ends of the first side plate 1. Adjusting holes 4 are opened at both ends of the second side plate 2, and the two adjusting holes 4 correspond to the adjusting plates 3 respectively. One end of the adjusting plate 3 slides inside the adjusting hole 4. It should be noted that the bottom surfaces of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 are located below the bottom surface of the adjusting plate 3, so that the first side plate 1, the second side plate 2, and the adjusting plate 3 form an inverted "U" shaped slot, allowing the masonry block to be engaged between the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2. The top surface of the adjusting plate 3 is flush with the top surfaces of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2. Through the cooperation of the adjusting plate 3 and the adjusting holes 4, the distance between the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 can be adjusted, which can be used for masonry blocks of different sizes, thereby improving the effectiveness of the tool. It should be noted that locking components are installed at both ends of the second side plate 2, and the locking components 5 correspond to the adjustment holes 4. The locking components lock the adjustment plate 3 to prevent the second side plate 2 from sliding on the adjustment plate 3 during use, thus ensuring the normal use of the tool. In detail: The locking assembly includes a U-shaped locking cylinder 501 fixed to the outside of the second side plate 2, and a threaded cylinder 502 fixed to the side of the U-shaped locking cylinder 501. A locking bolt 503 is installed in the internal thread of the threaded cylinder 502, and the bottom end of the locking bolt 503 passes through the threaded cylinder 502 and abuts against the top of the adjusting plate 3, thereby fastening the adjusting plate 3 and preventing the second side plate 2 from loosening during use. Alternatively, several insertion holes 504 can be equidistantly opened at one end of the adjusting plate 3, and the openings of the insertion holes 504 correspond to the locking bolts 503, so that the bottom end of the locking bolts 503 can be inserted into the corresponding insertion holes 504, further fastening the tool and improving its stability.

[0019] Two sets of U-shaped adjustment handles 6 are provided between the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2, and the two adjustment handles 6 are respectively located above the adjustment plate 3. The two adjustment handles 6 make it easy to remove the tool from the block, thus providing convenience for the staff.

[0020] In detail: The adjusting handle 6 includes an "L"-shaped insert 601 fixed to the end of the first side plate 1 and an "L"-shaped rod 602 fixed to the top of the second side plate 2. One end of the "L"-shaped rod 602 is inserted into the inside of the "L"-shaped insert 601. It should be noted that the insertion depth of the "L"-shaped insert 601 and the "L"-shaped rod 602 changes with the distance between the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2, which serves to adjust the length of the adjusting handle 6.

[0021] It should be noted that a strip level 7 can be installed on the top of one or both "L" shaped inserts 601. The strip level 7 is used to detect flatness.

[0022] During masonry construction: First, adjust the spacing between the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 according to the width of the block to accommodate blocks of different sizes; then, the workpiece can be placed on the block for use. When adjusting the distance between the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2: First, loosen the locking bolt 503 so that one end of each of the two adjusting plates 3 can slide inside the adjusting hole 4, thereby adjusting the distance between the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 according to the size of the block, which is highly practical; after the distance between the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 is adjusted, tighten the locking bolt 503 again so that one end of the locking bolt 503 can be inserted into the insertion hole 504 or abut against the top of the adjusting plate 3, thereby securing the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2, thus completing the adjustment work.

[0023] When using this tool: Place the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 on both sides of the block, so that the adjusting plates 3 at both ends are supported on the block. At this time, the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 are in close contact with both sides of the block, so that the first side plate 1, the second side plate 2 and the two adjusting plates 3 form a rectangular frame for holding mortar. Fill the rectangular frame with mortar, and then use a trowel supported between the upper surfaces of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2. Then move the trowel along the extension direction of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 to smooth the mortar in the rectangular frame. This can ensure that the size of the mortar joints remains uniform, improve the aesthetic effect, and reduce mortar waste.
