[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention and the drawings. It should be noted that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4, an embodiment of the present invention provides an easily installable wall panel, including a column 1, a wall panel 2, and a hanging member 3; the column 1 is vertically and fixedly arranged, and a plurality of slots 4 are arranged along the axial direction on both sides thereof; at least one hook-shaped portion 5 with an upward opening is provided at the front end of the hanging member 3, a support portion 6 extends laterally and outwardly behind the hook-shaped portion 5, a tongue 7 protruding towards the column 1 is provided on the side of the hanging member 3, a bayonet 8 for cooperating with the end of the slot 4 is provided at the top of the root of the tongue 7, a fastening notch 9 for cooperating with the end of the slot 4 is provided at the bottom of the root of the tongue 7, and a fixing plate 10 extending backward is provided at the tail of the hanging member 3 above or below the tongue 7; the hanging member 3 is fastened to both sides of the column 1 by press-fitting the tongue 7 into the slot 4, the fixing plate 10 is closely attached to both side surfaces of the column 1, and the hook-shaped portion 5 protrudes from both front sides of the column 1; both sides of the wall panel 2 are bent inward to form hook-shaped edges 11, and at least two hook-shaped grooves 12 for cooperating with the hook-shaped portion 5 are arranged on the hook-shaped edges 11, the hook-shaped grooves 12 are sleeved on the hook-shaped portion 5, and the surface of the hook-shaped edge 11 is closely attached to the support portion 6.

[0039] The installation interval of the hanging member 3 can be adjusted to adapt to the installation of wall panels 2 of different sizes. Thus, all components can be produced in a standardized manner.

[0040] During installation, first, the upper part of the tongue 7 of the hanging member 3 is obliquely inserted into the slot 4 of the column 1 so that the bayonet 8 abuts against the top end of the slot 4; then, the hanging member 3 is swung with the bayonet 8 as the center so that the bottom end of the tongue 7 is also inserted into the slot 4. Since the tongue 7 and the slot 4 are in an interference fit, a tool such as a small hammer needs to be used to strike the bottom of the hanging member 3 from the side to make the fastening notch 9 snap onto the bottom end of the slot 4 for fixation. After installation, the hanging member 3 is tightly connected to the column 1, and the fixing plate 10 fits against the side surface of the column 1 to maintain the stability of the hanging member 3. Even if the hanging member 3 is horizontally toggled, the hook-shaped portion 5 will not become loose, thus ensuring the installation stability of the wall panel 2. At the same time, since the wall panel 2 also contacts the support portion 6, it is ensured that the wall panel 2 will not become loose due to the pressing of the panel surface.

[0041] For the installation of the column 1, specifically, angle plates can be used to fix it to the building wall through bolts or other fastening methods. This is the only place where bolts may be used in this product.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , specifically, as a preference, the column 1 is in a U shape with an outward opening, and a decorative strip 14 extending axially is fixedly installed at the opening; the front end of the decorative strip 14 is provided with a decorative portion 15 protruding and extending towards both sides, the tail of the decorative portion 15 is provided with a connecting portion 16 protruding and extending backward, the connecting portion 16 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the column 1, and the tongues 7 of the hanging member 3 are supported on both sides of the back surface of the decorative portion 15.

[0043] For each wall panel 2, the middle part of each hooking edge 11 is sleeved on the hook part 5, and the left and right sides are respectively supported on the surfaces of the supporting part 6 and the decorative strip 14. The three mutually reverse stress points ensure the stable installation of the wall panel 2. For the decorative strip 14, in addition to providing support for the wall panel 2, it also has the function of decoration and beautification, and can cover the gap between two adjacent wall panels 2 on the left and right.

[0044] The installation of the decorative strip 14 makes full use of the tongue 7 structure of the column 1 and the hanging member 3.

[0045] Furthermore, a plurality of hanging grooves 18 are arranged along the axial direction on the rear side of the column 1; hanging hooks 17 that cooperate with the hanging grooves 18 are arranged along the axial direction at the tail of the connecting part 16 of the decorative strip 14, and the hanging hooks 17 are hung in the hanging grooves 18.

[0046] The hanging hook 17 of the decorative strip 14 and the hanging groove 18 of the column 1 belong to a cross-occlusion structure, which has a certain stability itself and is convenient to install without using screws. At the same time, the tongue 7 just supports on the back side of the decorative part 15 for stable reinforcement to limit the left and right swing of the decorative strip 14. For each hanging member 3, its tongue 7 and the supporting part 6 are both under the pressure of the hooking edge 11 to achieve balance.

[0047] In order to further strengthen the connection between the hanging groove 18 and the hanging hook 17 and reduce the operation difficulty, preferably, the upper half of the hanging groove 18 is wide and the lower half converges, and both sides between the upper half and the lower half are transitioned through guiding inclined surfaces.

[0048] In order to shock-absorb and at the same time compensate for the matching accuracy between the wall panel 2, the decorative strip 14 and the hanging member 3, preferably, a buffer rubber is provided on the surface of the decorative part 15 of the decorative strip 14, and a buffer rubber is provided between the hooking edge 11 and the supporting part 6.

[0049] Preferably, an extension edge 13 extending towards the top or bottom is provided on the top edge or the bottom edge of the wall panel 2, the extension edge 13 is recessed inward, and the adjacent wall panels 2 are covered on the extension edge 13. Then the extension edge 13 will cover the gap between two adjacent wall panels 2 above and below.

[0050] A pressing ceiling installation structure provided by the present invention basically no longer uses fastening components such as bolts and screws, greatly simplifies the complexity of installation, and greatly improves the installation efficiency. Also due to the optimized design of each connection structure, the number of parts is reduced, which has great advantages in reducing production and installation costs, and the connection structure still achieves mechanical stability and firmness. All kinds of parts can be processed from plates, which is convenient for processing and has more market advantages.

[0051] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present invention. Their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent for the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent for the present invention shall be subject to the appended claims.
