Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of building construction, and in particular to a thin-laying device for floor tiles. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of building decoration construction technology, there has always been a contradiction and challenge between traditional floor tile laying and modern construction needs. Traditional floor tile laying methods are gradually becoming unable to meet the development needs of current prefabricated buildings and rapid installation projects, while new construction technologies, although making progress, still have many problems, which to some extent restricts the further development of building decoration construction technology.

[0003] Traditional tile laying methods typically employ mortar leveling, requiring a relatively thick mortar layer. In recent years, with the development of prefabricated buildings and rapid installation projects, thin-set tiling has been gradually introduced. This method uses specialized adhesive mortar and a double-sided notched trowel to directly bond the tiles to the substrate. Currently, the industry mainly uses two thin-set tiling techniques: one is the notched trowel application method, which uses a stainless steel notched trowel to spread the adhesive into strips; the other is the spot-frame bonding method, which first applies adhesive to the substrate and then uses a frame for fixation. Some companies are also experimenting with prefabricated gasket systems, using plastic adjusting pads to control the elevation.

[0004] However, in the existing technology, whether the tiles are placed on the base layer after applying special adhesive mortar, or the tiles are placed on the base layer after applying special adhesive mortar directly, it is impossible to ensure that the thickness of the special adhesive mortar applied by the artificial soil is uniform. The error will be large, which will easily cause the placed tiles to be uneven or hollow. The tiles will need to be leveled or reapplied with special adhesive mortar, resulting in material waste and wasting time and effort. Utility Model Content

[0005] To reduce human error, ensure uniform thickness of the applied adhesive mortar, allow for one-time leveling of floor tiles, improve construction efficiency, and reduce hollow areas, this application aims to provide a thin-laying device for floor tiles. The technical solution adopted is as follows: This includes a feeding mechanism, a scraping mechanism, a conveying mechanism, and a gravity detection mechanism; The feeding mechanism and the scraping mechanism are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism. The feeding mechanism includes a mortar box and a second driving component. The second driving component is used to drive the mortar box to move along the width direction of the conveying mechanism. The scraping mechanism includes a first driving member and a scraper plate. The first driving member is used to drive the scraper plate to move along the width direction of the conveying mechanism. The gravity detection mechanism is installed on the conveying mechanism and is used to detect the gravity changes on the upper surface of the conveying mechanism.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solutions, the construction process is automated and integrated. The scraping mechanism ensures uniform mortar application, the feeding mechanism provides precise material supply, the conveying mechanism efficiently transports the floor tiles, and the gravity detection mechanism monitors the mortar distribution in real time to further ensure that the thickness of the applied special bonding mortar is uniform, allowing the floor tiles to be laid flat in one go. This significantly improves construction efficiency and quality, reduces the hollow rate caused by human error, and is suitable for large-scale floor tile laying projects, improving overall construction accuracy and consistency.

[0007] Optionally, the scraping mechanism further includes a third driving member, which is disposed above the scraper plate and is used to drive the scraper plate to move in a vertical direction.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the height of the scraper blade can be adjusted to adapt to the construction needs of mortars of different thicknesses, enhancing the flexibility and applicability of the device. Precise control of the distance between the scraper blade and the tile surface ensures uniform mortar layer thickness, avoiding issues of excessive thickness or thinness, further improving the adhesion and flatness of the tiles while reducing material waste.

[0009] Optionally, the scraping mechanism further includes a support frame, a first slider, and a connecting rod. The support frame is provided with a second sliding groove, and the first slider is disposed in the second sliding groove and slidably connected to the second sliding groove. A second slider is disposed above the third driving member, and the connecting rod is disposed between the first slider and the second slider.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solutions, a more stable support and guiding mechanism is provided, making the movement of the scraper blade smoother and more precise, reducing vibration and deviation. The design of the slider and connecting rod optimizes power transmission, ensuring coordinated movement of the scraper blade in both vertical and horizontal directions, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the scraping process, extending the service life of the device, and reducing maintenance requirements.

[0011] Optionally, the second slider is provided with a through hole, and a slide rod is provided between the support frame and the third driving member, with the second slider sleeved on the slide rod.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the rigidity and smoothness of the scraping mechanism are further enhanced. Friction and wear are reduced through the guide rails, ensuring the scraper maintains accuracy during repeated movements. This design simplifies the assembly and adjustment process, facilitates on-site installation and operation, and improves the overall durability and performance consistency of the device, making it suitable for high-intensity continuous operation.

[0013] Optionally, the feeding mechanism further includes a feeding nozzle and a cylinder. The feeding nozzle is located at the bottom of the mortar tank and is also equipped with a control valve. The cylinder is located on the mortar tank and its output end is connected to the inside of the mortar tank.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, mortar can be automatically and quantitatively fed. The discharge speed is regulated by cylinder pressure to ensure uniform and uninterrupted mortar flow, and the opening and closing of the feeding nozzle and its size are controlled by a control valve. This reduces the frequency and time of manual mortar addition, improves construction efficiency, avoids mortar waste or clogging, maintains a clean working environment, and supports continuous operation requirements.

[0015] Optionally, a load-bearing plate and a limiting plate are provided above the conveyor belt of the conveying mechanism. The load-bearing plate is used to support the floor tiles, and the limiting plate is located at both ends of the floor tiles.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, the displacement or sliding of floor tiles during transportation and construction is effectively prevented, ensuring accurate tile placement and thus improving bonding precision. The load-bearing plate design is simple and reliable, adaptable to various tile sizes and surfaces, and enhances the support capacity for the floor tiles.

[0017] Optionally, the gravity detection mechanism includes a gravity detector, which is disposed on the upper surface of the load-bearing plate and in contact with the floor tiles.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the weight change of the floor tiles is monitored in real time, indirectly assessing the uniformity and thickness of the mortar application, and providing feedback data to adjust construction parameters. This integrated design enhances the real-time nature of quality control, ensures consistent adhesion of each floor tile, reduces hollow areas or unevenness, and improves overall construction reliability.

[0019] Optionally, a collection trough is also included, which is located below the conveying mechanism to receive the mortar scraped off by the scraper.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions, mortar can be recycled, reducing material waste and environmental pollution while maintaining a clean working area. The collection tank is designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, supports sustainable construction practices, reduces operating costs, and improves the overall economic and environmental performance of the facility.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. It achieves automation and integration of the construction process. The scraping mechanism ensures uniform mortar application, the feeding mechanism achieves precise material supply, the conveying mechanism efficiently transports the floor tiles, and the gravity detection mechanism monitors the mortar distribution in real time to further ensure that the thickness of the special bonding mortar is uniform, so that the floor tiles can be laid flat in one go. This significantly improves construction efficiency and quality, reduces the hollow rate caused by human operation errors, and is suitable for large-scale floor tile laying projects, improving the overall construction accuracy and consistency. 2. A more stable support and guiding mechanism is provided, making the scraper's movement smoother and more precise, reducing vibration and deviation. The design of the slider and connecting rod optimizes power transmission, ensuring coordinated movement of the scraper in both vertical and horizontal directions, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the scraping process, extending the service life of the device, and reducing maintenance requirements; 3. The collection trough design can recover excess mortar scraped off, reducing material waste, lowering construction costs, and maintaining a clean working environment. The entire device has a reasonable structural design, with all mechanisms operating in coordination, which not only extends the service life of the equipment but also promotes the development of paving tile construction towards a more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and sustainable direction.

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0024] A thin-set tile installation device, as described in the following description Figure 1The device includes a feeding mechanism 1, a scraping mechanism 2, a conveying mechanism 3, and a gravity detection mechanism. The feeding mechanism 1 and the scraping mechanism 2 are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 3. The gravity detection mechanism is installed on the conveying mechanism 3 and can detect the gravity changes on the upper surface of the conveying mechanism 3. This layout allows the device to complete the feeding and scraping processes of thin-lay floor tiles in an orderly manner. Furthermore, the gravity detection can monitor the weight of the floor tiles and mortar in real time to ensure that the thickness of the applied special adhesive mortar is uniform, allowing the floor tiles to be laid flat in one go. This significantly improves construction efficiency and quality and reduces the hollow rate caused by human error.

[0025] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The scraping mechanism 2 includes a first driving member 21 and a scraper 22. The first driving member 21 drives the scraper 22 to move along the width direction of the conveying mechanism 3. The first driving member 21 can be a motor, which has the characteristics of stable power output and adjustable speed, or it can be a hydraulic motor, which can provide greater torque. The scraper 22 is usually made of a metal material with high hardness, such as stainless steel. It is comb-shaped and is installed on the output shaft of the first driving member 21. When the first driving member 21 works, it can drive the scraper 22 to move back and forth in the width direction of the conveying mechanism 3, thereby scraping the mortar on the floor tiles placed on the conveying mechanism 3 into strips.

[0026] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 The scraping mechanism 2 also includes a third driving member 23, which is positioned above the scraper plate 22 and is used to drive the scraper plate 22 to move vertically. The third driving member 23 can be an electric push rod, which can precisely control the stroke, or a pneumatic cylinder, which has a fast response speed. The scraping mechanism 2 also includes a support frame 24, a first slider 25, and a connecting rod 26. The support frame 24 has a second sliding groove 241, and the first slider 25 is disposed in the second sliding groove 241 and slidably connected to the second sliding groove 241, so that the first slider 25 can slide smoothly in the second sliding groove 241. A second slider 27 is disposed above the third driving member 23, and the connecting rod 26 is disposed between the first slider 25 and the second slider 27. Through this connection, the vertical movement of the third driving member 23 can be transmitted to the scraper plate 22 through the connecting rod 26, realizing the vertical movement of the scraper plate 22.

[0027] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2The second slider 27 has a through hole, and a slide rod 28 is provided between the support frame 24 and the third drive component 23. The second slider 27 is sleeved on the slide rod 28, which serves as a guide to ensure the stability of the second slider 27 and the third drive component 23 during vertical movement. These components together allow the scraper 22 to move both along the width of the conveying mechanism 3 and vertically, better adapting to mortar leveling work of different thicknesses and conditions.

[0028] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 The feeding mechanism 1 includes a mortar tank 13 and a second driving component 12. The second driving component 12 drives the mortar tank 13 to move along the width direction of the conveying mechanism 3. The second driving component 12 can be a stepper motor, which can precisely control the rotation angle, or a servo motor, which has the characteristics of high precision and high responsiveness. The mortar tank 13 is used to store mortar, and its material can be stainless steel or high-strength plastic, with a certain capacity.

[0029] Furthermore, the second drive component 12 of the feeding mechanism 1 can also employ a chain drive mechanism to drive the mortar box 13 to move along the width direction of the conveying mechanism 3. The chain drive mechanism includes a chain, a sprocket, and a motor. The motor drives the sprocket to rotate, and the sprocket drives the chain to move. The mortar box 13 is fixed to the chain, thus realizing the movement of the mortar box 13. Chain drives are characterized by high transmission power and high efficiency, and can adapt to large loads and long transmission distances.

[0030] The second drive component 12, employing a chain drive mechanism, can also move the mortar box 13 along the width direction of the conveying mechanism 3. Due to the characteristics of chain drive, it can drive the mortar box 13 more stably, making it suitable for construction scenarios requiring high transmission stability. Compared to traditional tile laying methods, it still improves construction efficiency, reduces material consumption, and ensures construction quality.

[0031] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The feeding mechanism 1 also includes a feeding nozzle 11 and a cylinder 14. The feeding nozzle 11 is generally made of corrosion-resistant plastic or metal and is funnel-shaped. It is installed at the bottom of the mortar tank 13. When the second drive component 12 is working, the feeding nozzle 11 can move through the mortar tank 13 in the width direction of the conveying mechanism 3 to achieve uniform feeding. The cylinder 14 is set on the mortar tank 13, and the output end of the cylinder 14 is connected to the inside of the mortar tank 13. When the cylinder 14 is working, it can force the mortar in the mortar tank 13 into the feeding nozzle 11, and then the feeding nozzle 11 is transported to the conveying mechanism 3. Through the cooperation of the second drive component 12 and the cylinder 14, the feeding mechanism 1 can accurately control the feeding position and amount according to the construction requirements. The feeding nozzle 11 is also equipped with a control valve 18, which controls the opening and closing and size of the feeding nozzle 11, so as to close it when not in use and adjust the opening size to achieve the required amount of mortar under different working conditions. An inlet 15 is provided above the mortar box 13, through which workers can fill the mortar box 13 with mortar.

[0032] Furthermore, to ensure that the mortar box 13 can move smoothly laterally, refer to... Figure 3 Support rods 16 are provided on both sides of the mortar box 13. The top of the support rods 16 slides in the first slide groove 17. The first slide groove 17, like the second slide groove 241, is located above the device. The support rods 16 can provide upward support for the mortar box 13, preventing the second drive member 12 from being overloaded and damaged when it drives the mortar box 13 away.

[0033] Specifically, conveyor mechanism 3 is mainly used for conveying floor tiles and mortar. Its conveyor belt is typically made of rubber, which has good friction and wear resistance. The conveyor belt is driven by a motor and can run at a stable speed. (Refer to...) Figure 4 Multiple load-bearing plates 31 and limiting plates 32 are installed above the conveyor belt along the transport direction. The load-bearing plates 31 can be made of rubber or silicone and have good load-bearing performance. The limiting plates 32 are set at both ends of the floor tiles to limit the floor tiles and prevent them from sliding or shifting during the transport process. At the same time, they can also make the feeding and scraping of materials more precise and uniform, reducing deviation.

[0034] Furthermore, the gravity detection mechanism includes gravity detectors, which are mounted on the upper surface of the load-bearing plate 31 and contact the floor tiles. Multiple gravity detectors are also arranged along the width of the load-bearing plate 31, allowing for multi-area gravity detection of the floor tiles, resulting in more accurate data. When an area is found to be too heavy, the scraper plate 22 will scrape material from that area again until the gravity in each area is similar, indicating that the mortar is evenly applied to the floor tiles. The gravity detector can be a strain gauge sensor, which converts gravity changes into electrical signals, or a piezoresistive sensor, which has high sensitivity. The gravity detectors can monitor the gravity changes on the upper surface of the conveying mechanism 3 in real time, providing information on the weight of the floor tiles and mortar, allowing for timely adjustments to the feeding and scraping parameters.

[0035] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 The device also includes a collection tank 4, which is located below the conveying mechanism 3 and is used to receive the mortar scraped off by the scraper plate 22. The collection tank 4 is generally made of metal or plastic, and its shape can be rectangular with a certain capacity. The collection tank 4 can collect excess mortar, avoiding mortar waste and environmental pollution, and also facilitates the recycling and reuse of mortar.

[0036] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: This thin-lay mortar installation device achieves automation and precision in thin-lay mortar installation through the coordinated operation of the scraping mechanism 2, the feeding mechanism 1, the conveying mechanism 3, and the gravity detection mechanism. The feeding mechanism 1 can accurately feed materials according to requirements, the scraping mechanism 2 can level the mortar, the conveying mechanism 3 ensures stable delivery of mortar and tiles, and the gravity detection mechanism monitors weight changes in real time to ensure construction quality. The collection trough 4 reduces material waste and lowers construction costs. Compared with traditional mortar laying processes, this device improves construction efficiency, reduces the hollow rate, reduces base treatment costs, and significantly improves overall construction benefits.
