Ceramic tile cutting apparatus

Abstract

This application relates to a tile cutting device, including a support, a guide rail, and a cutting assembly. The support includes two side plates spaced apart from each other along a first direction and a base connecting the two side plates. The guide rail extends along the first direction, with its two ends respectively mounted on the corresponding side plates and located above the base. The guide rail and the support together form a channel for the tile to enter and exit. The cutting assembly is slidably constrained to the guide rail along the first direction. The cutting assembly includes a cutting roller and a pressure member, both located within the channel. The cutting roller is arranged to rotate relative to the base. The pressure member has a first state where it abuts against the top surface of the tile within the channel and a second state where a gap remains between the pressure member and the top surface of the tile. In the second state, the cutting roller is positioned to abut against the top surface of the tile. Because both the cutting roller and the pressure member are located within the channel, and the pressure member can avoid the cutting roller in the second state, the overall height of the tile cutting device is reduced.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of tile processing equipment, and in particular to a tile cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] To accommodate different installation spaces, such as room corners, edges, door frames, and cabinet perimeters, decorative tiles need to be cut to size on-site. Currently, manual or electric tile cutters can be used. The technical principle of a manual tile cutter utilizes the hardness and brittleness of the tile. A cutting roller is used to first score a cutting line on the tile surface, creating stress points / lines. Then, a pressure device applies single-point pressure along the cutting line and on both sides of the line, causing the tile to break along the cutting line from the surface inwards and to the opposite side, thus achieving the tile separation process.

[0003] For existing manual tile cutters, when using the cutting roller to score cutting lines on the tile surface, in order to avoid the pressure member interfering with the movement of the cutting roller, at least part of the pressure member is usually set above the tile cutter's bracket or guide rail, that is, at a higher position, and is arranged to move up and down so that the pressure member can press down on the cutting line on the tile or avoid the cutting roller.

[0004] However, because the clamping component occupies a certain amount of height space when avoiding the cutting roller, the tile cutter is relatively tall and has a large packaging volume, which ultimately leads to higher transportation costs for the tile cutter. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a tile cutting device that can reduce packaging volume.

[0006] A tile cutting device, comprising:

[0007] The bracket includes two side plates arranged at relative intervals along a first direction and a base connecting the two side plates;

[0008] The guide rail extends along the first direction, with its two ends respectively mounted on the side plates on the corresponding sides and located above the base. The guide rail and the bracket together form a channel for the tiles to enter and exit.

[0009] A cutting assembly is slidably constrained to the guide rail along the first direction; the cutting assembly includes a cutting roller and a pressing member both located within the channel, the cutting roller being arranged to rotate relative to the base, the pressing member having a first state that abuts against the top surface of a tile located within the channel and a second state that leaves a gap with the top surface of the tile located within the channel, wherein the cutting roller is arranged to abut against the top surface of the tile when the pressing member is in the second state.

[0010] In one embodiment, when the pressure member is in the first state, the bottom end of the pressure member is located below the cutting roller.

[0011] In one embodiment, the cutting assembly further includes an operating component and a connecting component that slides with the guide rail along the first direction. The operating component is located beside the guide rail, and the first end of the operating component is rotatably connected to the connecting component via a connecting shaft. The length direction of the connecting shaft forms an angle with both the first direction and the up-down direction. The cutting roller and the pressure component are both disposed on the operating component.

[0012] In one embodiment, the pressure member has a first portion located below the guide rail. The pressure member is rotatably connected to the operating member to drive the first portion to swing up and down. The guide rail is located on the movement path of the first portion. When the pressure member is in the second state, the first portion is connected to the operating member. When the first portion swings upward to abut against the guide rail or the connecting member, the first portion disengages from the operating member under the blocking action of the guide rail or the connecting member.

[0013] In one embodiment, the first part is provided with a first connecting part, the operating member is provided with a second connecting part, one of the first connecting part and the second connecting part is a magnetic element, and the other of the first connecting part and the second connecting part is a magnetic element or a magnetically conductive element. When the pressing member is in the second state, the first connecting part and the second connecting part are correspondingly provided and magnetically connected.

[0014] In one embodiment, there are two guide rails, which are arranged side by side at intervals along the axial direction of the connecting shaft, and the operating member is located between the two guide rails along the axial direction of the connecting shaft.

[0015] In one embodiment, each of the guide rails corresponds to the first part, and the connection between the two first parts is rotatably connected to the operating member.

[0016] In one embodiment, the pressure member and the cutting roller are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and the rotation axis of the pressure member is located between the cutting roller and the first portion.

[0017] In one embodiment, the base includes an extension member, and a storage groove is provided at the side edge of the top surface of the base. The first end of the extension member is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the storage groove. The top surface of the extension member is flush with or substantially flush with the top surface of the base. The rotation axis of the extension member extends along the thickness direction of the base. The extension member has a retracted state and an unfolded state. In the retracted state, the extension member is located inside the storage groove. In the unfolded state, the second end of the extension member is located outside the storage groove.

[0018] In one embodiment, a clamping member for holding a marker is installed in the channel, the clamping member being connected to the base, and the marker being used to mark the position of a tile located in the channel on the base;

[0019] The clamping member is provided with a clearance groove to avoid the cutting roller.

[0020] In one embodiment, the clamping member is arranged close to one of the side plates and above the top surface of the base;

[0021] And / or, the tile cutting device further includes a guide for abutting against the side edge of a tile within the channel, the guide being rotatably connected to the support.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the tile cutting equipment provided in this application, by placing both the cutting roller and the pressure member within the channel enclosed by the bracket and guide rail, ensures that the pressure member does not occupy the height space outside the channel. Furthermore, by arranging the cutting roller in a way that allows it to rotate relative to the base, and arranging the pressure member in a first state that abuts against the top surface of the tile located in the channel, and in a second state that leaves a gap between the pressure member and the top surface of the tile located in the channel, the cutting roller is arranged to abut against the top surface of the tile when the pressure member is in the second state. In other words, this application can complete the tile cutting process by switching between different states of the pressure member, thus solving the problem of the working process of the tile cutting equipment. It eliminates the need to place the pressure member above the guide rail to avoid the cutting roller, and therefore does not sacrifice the overall height of the tile cutting equipment. This reduces the overall height of the tile cutting equipment, decreases the packaging volume of the tile cutting equipment, and saves on the transportation cost of the tile cutter.

[0049] Please see Figures 1 to 13 This application provides a tile cutting device 10, including a support 100, a guide rail 200, and a cutting assembly 300. The support 100 includes two side plates 110 arranged at intervals along a first direction and a base 120 connecting the two side plates 110. The guide rail 200 extends along the first direction, i.e., its length direction is the same as the first direction. Both ends of the guide rail 200 are respectively mounted on the corresponding side plates 110 and located above the base 120. The guide rail 200 and the support 100 enclose a channel 101 for the entry and exit of a tile 20. The cutting assembly 300 is slidably constrained to the guide rail 200 along the first direction. The cutting assembly 300 includes a cutting roller 310 and a pressing member 320, both located within the channel 101. The cutting roller 310 is arranged to rotate relative to the base 120, and the pressing member 320 has a first state capable of abutting against the top surface of the tile 20 located within the channel 101 (see reference). Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 And a second state with a gap between the top surface of the tile 20 located in the passage 101 (see reference). Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the pressure member 320 is in the second state, the cutting roller 310 is arranged to abut against the top surface of the tile 20.

[0050] See also Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 2The tile 20 cutting device is used as follows: with the pressure member 320 in the second state, the cutting roller 310 is pushed to move along the extension direction of the guide rail 200. The cutting roller 310 will rotate relative to the base 120, that is, relative to the top surface of the tile 20 (hereinafter referred to as tile 20) located in the channel 101, while rotating and moving in the first direction. In this way, the cutting roller 310 can scratch a cutting line on the top surface of the tile 20 located in the channel 101. After the cutting roller 310 scratches a cutting line on the top surface of the tile 20, the pressure member 320 is adjusted from the second state to the first state, and downward pressure is applied to the pressure member 320. This pressure is transmitted through the pressure member 320 to the cutting line and both sides of the cutting line. Due to the single-point pressure, the cutting line and part of the tile 20 can break along the cutting line from the surface to the inside and to the opposite side, thereby realizing the segmentation of the tile 20.

[0051] It is understandable that by placing both the cutting roller 310 and the pressing element 320 within the channel 101 enclosed by the bracket 100 and the guide rail 200, the pressing element 320 will not occupy the height space outside the channel 101. Furthermore, by arranging the pressing element 320 in a first state that abuts against the top surface of the tile 20 located in the channel 101 and in a second state that leaves a gap with the top surface of the tile 20 located in the channel 101, the cutting roller 310 is arranged to abut against the top surface of the tile 20 when the pressing element 320 is in the second state. In other words, the embodiment can complete the segmentation of the tile 20 by switching between different states of the pressing element 320, thus solving the problem of the working process of the tile cutting equipment 10. It is not necessary to place the pressing element 320 above the guide rail 200 to avoid the cutting roller 310, that is, it is not necessary to sacrifice the height of the entire tile cutting equipment 10, thereby reducing the height of the entire tile cutting equipment 10, reducing the packaging volume of the tile cutting equipment 10, and thus saving the transportation cost of the tile 20 cutter.

[0052] In one embodiment, see Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 In the first state, where the pressure member 320 is in contact with the top surface of the tile 20 and its bottom end is below the cutting roller 310 (i.e., the cutting roller 310 is above the bottom surface of the pressure member 320), the pressure member 320 is positioned to apply single-point pressure to the cutting line and both sides of the cutting line on the tile 20, causing the tile 20 to break into two parts. The cutting roller 310 is positioned at the cutting line. By placing the cutting roller 310 above the bottom surface of the pressure member 320, when the pressure member 320 transmits downward pressure to the tile 20, the cutting roller 310 will not affect the breaking of the cutting line, and the tile 20 will not accidentally hit or damage the cutting roller 310 when it breaks.

[0053] In one embodiment, see Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The cutting assembly 300 also includes an operating member 330 and a connecting member 340 that slides along the guide rail 200 in a first direction. The operating member 330 is located beside the guide rail 200, and its first end is rotatably connected to the connecting member 340 via a connecting shaft 350. The length direction of the connecting shaft 350 is at an angle to both the first direction and the vertical direction. The cutting roller 310 and the pressing member 320 are both located on the operating member 330. It can be understood that rotating the operating member 330 causes the cutting roller 310 and the pressing member 320 to move vertically, thereby causing the cutting roller 310 to move downwards to abut against the top surface of the tile 20 and upwards to leave a gap on the top surface of the tile 20, while also driving the pressing member 320 to move vertically. Therefore, in this embodiment, the cutting roller 310 and the pressing member 320 can be operated simultaneously by one operating member 330, making the structure of the tile cutting device 10 more compact and further reducing the packaging volume of the tile cutting device 10.

[0054] Indicatively, when the operating member 330 is rotated to drive the cutting roller 310 downward to abut against the top surface of the tile 20, the pressing member 320 is in the second state, that is, there is a certain gap between the pressing member 320 and the top surface of the tile 20. When the operating member 330 is pushed, since the operating member 330 is constrained on the guide rail 200 through the connecting member 340, the operating member 330 drives the cutting roller 310 to move along the extension direction of the guide rail 200 while rolling relative to the tile 20, thereby being able to scratch a cutting line on the surface of the tile 20.

[0055] Furthermore, the connector 340 is a kit with an internal clearance space. The connector 340 is fitted onto the outside of the guide rail 200 through the clearance space, thereby slidingly constraining itself on the guide rail 200 along the first direction.

[0056] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The pressing member 320 has a first portion 321, which is located below the guide rail 200. The pressing member 320 is rotatably connected to the operating member 330 to drive the first portion 321 to swing up and down, with the guide rail 200 located on the movement path of the first portion 321. In the second state, the pressing member 320 is connected to the operating member 330; and when the first portion 321 swings upward to abut against the guide rail 200 or the connecting member 340, the first portion 321 disengages from the operating member 330 under the blocking action of the guide rail 200 or the connecting member 340. It is understandable that when the pressing member 320 is in the second state, rotating the operating member 330 upwards will cause the pressing member 320 to move upwards. Since the guide rail 200 is located on the movement path of the first part 321 of the pressing member 320, when the first part 321 is driven to abut against the guide rail 200 or the connecting member 340, the guide rail 200 or the connecting member 340 will interfere with the movement of the first part 321. Therefore, the pressing member 320 will disengage from the operating member 330 under the obstruction of the guide rail 200 or the connecting member 340. That is, the first part 321 will automatically swing downwards under the obstruction and gravity, thereby automatically switching the pressing member 320 from the second state to the first state. Thus, the tile cutting device 10 in this embodiment can simultaneously change the position of the cutting roller 310 and the position and state of the pressing member 320 through the operating member 330, making the use of the tile cutting device 10 relatively simple. It should be noted that... Figure 6 and Figure 7 The pressure member 320 shown is in a critical state between the first state and the second state, that is, the pressure member 320 can swing down from the second state to the first state at the next moment.

[0057] Indicatively, the connector 340 is located on the movement path of the first part 321, and the bottom surface of the connector 340 is lower than the bottom surface of the guide rail 200. When the pressing member 320 is in the second state, and the operating member 330 is rotated upward to drive the pressing member 320 to move upward, the pressing member 320 will first come into contact with the connector 340, and then the pressing member 320 in the second state will automatically switch to the first state under the blocking action of the connector 340.

[0058] In one embodiment, see Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11The first part 321 is provided with a first connecting part 322, and the operating member 330 is provided with a second connecting part 331. One of the first connecting part 322 and the second connecting part 331 is a magnetic element, and the other of the first connecting part 322 and the second connecting part 331 is a magnetic element or a magnetically conductive element. When the pressing member 320 is in the second state, the first connecting part 322 and the second connecting part 331 are correspondingly provided and are magnetically connected. It can be understood that since the pressing member 320 and the operating member 330 are rotatably connected, and when the pressing member 320 swings downward to the first state, the first part 321 of the pressing member 320 abuts against the top surface of the tile 20, while when the pressing member 320 swings upward to the second state, there is a gap between the first part 321 of the pressing member 320 and the top surface of the tile 20. In other words, when the pressure member 320 is in the second state, the pressure member 320 forms a certain angle with the vertical direction. This state of the pressure member 320 is defined as the horizontal state. At this time, the pressure member 320 and the operating member 330 are magnetically connected through the first connecting part 322 and the second connecting part 331, so that the pressure member 320 is attracted to the operating member 330 and the pressure member 320 is maintained in the horizontal state, that is, maintained in the second state.

[0059] It is also understandable that when the pressing member 320 is in the first state, when the operating member 330 is rotated upward until the first part 321 of the pressing member 320 is close to the second connecting part 331, since the first connecting part 322 and the second connecting part 331 on the first part 321 can be magnetically connected, the first part 321 can automatically magnetically connect to the second connecting part 331 of the operating member 330 under the action of magnetic force. That is, the pressing member 320 in the first state will automatically switch to the second state under the action of magnetic force between the first connecting part 322 and the second connecting part 331.

[0060] In one embodiment, there are two guide rails 200, arranged side-by-side at intervals along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 350, with the operating member 330 positioned between the two guide rails 200 along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 350. Thus, by placing the operating member 330 between the two side-by-side guide rails 200, the overturning torque during operation of the operating member 330 and its driving of the cutting roller 310 or the pressure member 320 is fundamentally eliminated through a centrally symmetrical mechanical layout. This ensures that the cutting assembly 300 operates without shaking or jamming when marking and pressing down on the marking lines, greatly improving the cutting accuracy of the tile cutting device 10 on the tile 20.

[0061] In one embodiment, participants Figure 2 and Figure 11Each guide rail 200 has a corresponding first part 321, and the connection between two first parts 321 is rotatably connected to the operating member 330. In this way, the two first parts 321 can swing up and down around the connection as the center of rotation, thereby changing the first state or the second state.

[0062] Along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 350, the connection point of the two first parts 321 is located between the two guide rails 200. It is understood that when the operating member 330 is rotated upwards, the connection point of the pressing member 320 and the first parts 321 are connected to different positions on the operating member 330. When the first part 321 is driven by the operating member 330 to abut against the connecting member 340, the connection point and the first part 321 are at different heights, and in the vertical direction, there is a partial overlap between the connection point of the two first parts 321 and the guide rails 200. Thus, the connection point of the two first parts 321 will not interfere with the connecting member 340, and will not affect the automatic transition of the first part 321 of the pressing member 320 from the second state to the first state.

[0063] In one embodiment, the first portion 321 of the pressure member 320 is arranged to rotate vertically relative to the base 120; the pressure member 320 and the cutting roller 310 are spaced apart along a first direction, and the axis of rotation of the pressure member 320 is located between the cutting roller 310 and the first portion 321. It is understood that when the pressure member 320 rotates, it rotates on the side opposite to the axis of rotation of the cutting roller 310, thus avoiding interference between the pressure member 320 and the cutting roller 310 during rotation.

[0064] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 and Figure 8 Along the first direction, the pressure member 320 is disposed between the cutting roller 310 and the first end of the operating member 330. The first end of the operating member 330 is defined as the front end 3301, and the second end of the operating member 330, arranged opposite to the first end, is defined as the rear end 3302. It can be understood that the second end is the end for the operator to hold and apply force. In the first direction, the pressure member 320 is disposed between the cutting roller 310 and the first end of the operating member 330, that is, between the cutting roller 310 and the front end 3301 of the operating member 330. Therefore, when the pressure member 320 is in the second state, the first part 321 of the pressure member 320 is flipped towards the front end 3301, and the cutting roller 310 is located behind the pressure member 320. Thus, when the operator pushes the cutting roller 310 to carve lines on the surface of the tile 20, the pressure member 320 will not obstruct the operator's view, thereby improving the working accuracy of the tile cutting equipment 10.

[0065] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 The base 120 also includes an extension member 121. A storage groove 102 is provided at the side edge of the top surface of the base 120. The first end of the extension member 121 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the storage groove 102. The top surface of the extension member 121 is flush with or substantially flush with the top surface of the base 120. The rotation axis of the extension member 121 extends along the thickness direction of the base 120; that is, the rotation plane of the extension member is the plane containing the top surface of the base 120. The extension member 121 has a retracted state and an extended state. In the retracted state, the extension member 121 is located within the storage groove 102; that is, at this time, the extension direction of the extension member 121 is parallel to the guide rail 200. The length direction is the same, which makes the structure of the tile cutting device 10 more compact and the packaging volume smaller, thus saving transportation costs. In addition, when the extension part 121 is in the unfolded state, the second end of the extension part 121 is located outside the storage groove 102. That is to say, the extension direction of the extension part 121 is at an angle to the length direction of the guide rail 200, which is equivalent to expanding the support length of the base 120 for the tile 20 (the length here refers to the distance of the tile 20 in the extension direction of the extension part 121), that is, expanding the effective support area of ​​the base 120 for the tile 20, so that the tile 20 is more stable when cutting the tile 20.

[0066] For illustrative purposes only, see below. Figure 1 The base 120 includes a seat body 123 and a base plate 122 disposed on the top surface of the seat body 123. The side edge of the base plate 122 has a notch, through which the extension member 121 enters and exits the receiving groove 102. Schematally, the base plate 122 is recessed inward along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 350 from the notch, and the base plate 122 and the top surface of the seat body 123 form the aforementioned receiving groove 102. At this time, the top surface of the extension member 121 is flush with or substantially flush with the top surface of the base plate 122. In other embodiments, the extension member can also be directly disposed on the side wall of the base 120, which is a side wall at an angle to the side plate 110, and the first end of the extension member 121 is rotatably connected to this side wall.

[0067] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 The channel 101 is equipped with a clamping member 500 for clamping the marker 400. The clamping member 500 is connected to the base 120. The marker 400 is used to mark the position of the tile 20 located in the channel 101 on the base 120. This facilitates the positioning of the tile 20 in the channel 101 and allows the staff to observe in real time whether the cutting position of the tile 20 has moved, so as to ensure the accuracy of the working position of the cutting roller 310.

[0068] Further, see Figure 13The clamping member 500 is provided with a clearance groove 501 to avoid the cutting roller 310, that is, the clearance groove 501 is located on the movement path of the cutting roller 310. In this way, when the cutting roller 310 moves to the clamping member 500, the clamping member 500 will not interfere with the cutting roller 310, avoiding damage to the cutting roller 310, thereby improving the service life of the tile cutting equipment 10.

[0069] In one embodiment, the clamping member 500 is arranged near one of the side plates 110 and above the top surface of the base 120. That is, at least a portion of the side of the clamping member 500 protrudes from the top surface of the base 120. When the tile 20 is placed in the channel 101 of the tile cutting device 10, one side of the tile 20 can be pressed against the clamping member 500. This not only facilitates the positioning of the tile 20 in the first direction but also restricts the movement of the tile 20 toward the clamping member 500 in the first direction.

[0070] In one embodiment, see Figure 12 and Figure 13 The tile cutting device 10 also includes a guide 600 for abutting against the side edge of the tile 20 within the channel 101, the guide 600 being rotatably connected to the bracket 100. Thus, the placement angle of the tile 20 can be adjusted by rotating the extension direction of the guide 600, which in turn adjusts the cutting angle of the cutting roller 310 on the tile 20.

[0071] Furthermore, the guide 600 can be arranged to extend along a direction that is at an angle to both the first direction and the vertical direction. It can be understood that after arranging the guide 600 at a certain angle to the first direction, the side edge of the tile 20 only needs to be placed against the guide 600 to cut the tile 20 at that angle, thereby simplifying the positioning process of the tile 20 within the channel 101.

[0072] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0073] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
