Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of horizontal mortar joint technology, specifically a horizontal mortar joint controller for masonry walls. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional brick wall construction, the amount of mortar (grout) filling between bricks relies entirely on the experience of the workers, lacking standardized and quantifiable methods. Specifically: The thickness and fullness of horizontal and vertical mortar joints vary depending on the operator's skill level, resulting in uneven thickness and height on the same wall or even the same mortar joint. Differences in mortar joints not only affect the appearance quality of masonry, but also weaken the overall strength and impermeability of the wall. Existing simple straightedges or string lines can only serve as rough references and cannot simultaneously control the thickness of mortar joints in both horizontal and vertical directions. They also cannot provide stable constraints in continuous processes such as filling, leveling, and pressing bricks. During construction, repeated measurements and adjustments are required, resulting in low efficiency and high labor intensity.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a simple, easy-to-operate controller that can simultaneously achieve precise control of horizontal and vertical mortar joint thickness. Utility Model Content

[0004] Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a horizontal mortar joint controller for masonry walls, which solves the problem that the thickness and fullness of the horizontal and vertical mortar joints fluctuate depending on the operator's skill level, resulting in uneven thickness and height on the same wall or even the same mortar joint.

[0005] Technical solution To achieve the above-mentioned objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a horizontal mortar joint controller for masonry walls, comprising an installation body, a horizontal groove on one side of the installation body, a horizontal baffle movably installed inside the horizontal groove, a second long groove in the horizontal baffle, a vertical groove below the installation body, a vertical baffle movably installed inside the vertical groove, a first long groove on one side of the vertical baffle, and a fixing mechanism above the installation body.

[0006] In one example, the fixing mechanism includes a rectangular block fixedly installed above the mounting body, in which a threaded rod is threadedly sleeved, and the threaded rod is threadedly sleeved between a connecting plate connected to the tail end of a horizontal baffle and a fixing plate connected to the top end of a vertical baffle.

[0007] In one example, the bottom end of the threaded rod passes through the mounting body, the connecting plate connected to the tail end of the horizontal baffle, and the fixing plate connected to the top end of the vertical baffle.

[0008] In one example, the top end of the threaded rod is provided with a rotatable threaded rod.

[0009] In one example, a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting body.

[0010] In one example, the opening height of the first long slot is flush with the bottom of the mounting body.

[0011] Beneficial effects Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a horizontal mortar joint controller for masonry walls, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. By using horizontal and vertical baffles for positioning and the thickness of long grooves 2 and 1 for positioning, the mortar filling amount of each horizontal and vertical joint is kept uniform, significantly improving the flatness of the masonry surface. The baffles and the main installation body adopt a quick-installation structure of plug-in + threaded locking, allowing for rapid switching between horizontal and vertical working conditions and reducing the time spent on repeated measurements and adjustments. The handle design allows construction workers to push and pull the baffle with one hand while simultaneously filling mortar or tapping bricks with the other, reducing labor intensity. During the movement of the baffle, the filled mortar is automatically scraped smooth, avoiding secondary repairs. The threaded rod passes through the baffle connecting plate to form a rigid fixation, and the bottom of the main installation body is in contact with the brick surface to provide support, preventing the baffle from shaking and ensuring construction accuracy.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model proposes a horizontal mortar joint controller for masonry walls. When building a wall, it is necessary to build it brick by brick. During the construction process, the amount of mortar between the bricks needs to be filled by the operator's experience, which leads to a large difference in the mortar joints between the bricks. Therefore, it is necessary to improve it and propose a horizontal mortar joint controller for masonry walls. Including the main installation unit 1, during use, from the attached Figure 1 As can be observed, a horizontal groove 2 is provided on one side of the mounting body 1, and a horizontal baffle 5 is movably installed inside the horizontal groove 2. A vertical groove 3 is provided below the mounting body 1, and a vertical baffle 6 is movably installed inside the vertical groove 3. Since the horizontal baffle 5 and the vertical baffle 6 are movably connected to the mounting body 1, the operator can use the horizontal baffle 5 or the vertical baffle 6 according to their own needs, which can achieve the purpose of convenience to a certain extent.

[0020] When controlling the horizontal mortar joints of the masonry wall, the operator only needs to insert the horizontal baffle 5 into the horizontal groove 2. To make the fixation between the horizontal baffle 5 and the mounting body 1 more secure, a threaded rod 7 is provided at the top of the mounting body 1. The tail end of the threaded rod 7 passes through the connecting plate between the mounting body 1 and the tail end of the horizontal baffle 5, and extends from the attached... Figure 4 It can be observed that the threaded rod 7 and the connecting plate at the tail end of the horizontal baffle 5 are threaded together, thus forming a certain fixing effect. At this point, the operator, holding handle 4, places the horizontal baffle 5 against the horizontal surface of the brick. A second long groove 9 is located below the horizontal baffle 5, which engages with the edge of the brick. The operator then fills the baffle with mortar, smoothing it evenly with a trowel along the surface of the horizontal baffle 5. The brick is then placed between the horizontal baffles and tapped with the trowel to increase the adhesion between the mortar and the brick. After the bricks are laid, the operator pulls the horizontal baffle 5 to one side using handle 4. The inner edge of the horizontal baffle 5 contacts the mortar, ensuring the smoothness of the mortar joints between the bricks during the sliding process. The handle 4 on the horizontal baffle 5 ensures consistent mortar filling between each brick, further guaranteeing horizontal mortar joint control.

[0021] When vertical mortar joint control is required, the vertical baffle 6 is inserted into the vertical groove 3. Then, the threaded rod 7 is continuously rotated, causing it to descend and engage with the fixed plate in the vertical baffle 6, preventing the vertical baffle 6 from easily wobbling. Next, the operator places the vertical baffle 6 against the vertical edge of the brick. As shown in the attached diagram, a first long groove 8 is formed in the vertical baffle 6, and this first long groove 8 is flush with the bottom end of the mounting body 1. Thus, during the connection of the vertical baffle 6 to the brick, the bottom end of the mounting body 1 will contact the upper part of the brick, providing stable support for the entire vertical baffle 6. Next, the operator fills the interior with mortar. At this time, the operator can use a trowel to spread the mortar evenly along the surface of the vertical baffle 6, place the bricks between the vertical baffles 6, and tap them with the trowel to increase the adhesion between the mortar and the bricks. After the bricks are laid, the operator pulls the vertical baffle 6 upward by the handle 4. At this time, the inner edge of the horizontal baffle 5 will contact the mortar, thus ensuring the flatness of the mortar between the bricks during the sliding process. The setting of the vertical baffle 6 and the first long groove 8 can make the amount of mortar filling between each brick consistent, thereby completing the control of the vertical mortar joints.

[0022] In summary: By limiting the horizontal and vertical baffles and positioning the thickness of the No. 2 and No. 1 long grooves, the mortar filling amount of each horizontal and vertical joint is kept uniform, significantly improving the flatness of the masonry surface. The baffle and the main installation body adopt a quick-installation structure of plug-in + threaded locking, allowing for rapid switching between horizontal and vertical working conditions and reducing the time spent on repeated measurements and adjustments. The handle design allows construction workers to push and pull the baffle with one hand while simultaneously filling mortar or tapping bricks with the other, reducing labor intensity. The baffle automatically smooths the filled mortar during movement, avoiding secondary repairs. The threaded rod passes through the baffle connecting plate to form a rigid fixation, and the bottom of the main installation body fits against the brick surface to provide support, preventing the baffle from shaking and ensuring construction accuracy.
