The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides a fixing keel 1 for the external corner of a tile wall, including fixing structures 11 disposed on both sides of the external corner, and the fixing structures 11 on both sides are mirror-symmetrical with the angle bisector of the external corner as a mirror surface; the fixing structure 11 on the mirror side has a mounting top plate 111, a fixing plate 112, and a vertical wall 113. The mounting top plate 111 and the fixing plate 112 are respectively located on both sides of the vertical wall 113 in the thickness direction, and the two ends of the vertical wall 113 in the width direction are respectively connected to the mounting top plate 111 and the fixing plate 112. The fixing plate 112 abuts against the external corner. On the wall 2 on one side of the corner, the mounting plate 111 is higher than the fixing plate 112, and there is a hollow space between them; above the mounting plate 111 is the mounting plane 114, and the mounting plane 114 is provided with positioning support protrusions 115. There are multiple positioning support protrusions 115, which are spaced apart on the mounting plane 114 along the length direction of the fixing keel 1 at the external corner of the tile wall; the side of the mounting plate 111 away from the vertical wall 113 in the width direction is connected to the mirror fixing structure 12 on the other side of the mirror.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the overall structure of the aforementioned tile wall corner fixing keel 1 is elongated. On the installation plane 114, multiple spaced positioning support protrusions 115 are provided along the length of the tile wall corner fixing keel 1. When using the aforementioned tile wall corner fixing keel 1 to install the tile 3, first, along the corner of the wall 2, vertically fix the tile wall corner fixing keel 1 to the wall 2. Then, apply adhesive to the installation plane 114 of the tile wall corner fixing keel 1. Next, place the back of the tile 3 facing the installation plane 114, with its lower edge abutting against the positioning support protrusions 115 of the tile wall corner fixing keel 1. Then, align and press it firmly onto the installation plane 114 to complete the installation of the tile 3 at the corner position. Since the spacing of the positioning support protrusions 115 is pre-processed according to the width of the tile 3, the on-site layout process can be eliminated, making the installation operation simpler and greatly improving the installation efficiency of the tile 3.

[0032] Specifically, the distance between the two positioning support protrusions 115 along the length of the fixing keel 1 at the external corner of the tile wall should be equal to or slightly greater than the height of the tile 3 on the wall 2. Therefore, the positioning support protrusions 115 can be processed according to the size of the tile 3 to meet the installation requirements of the tile 3. This allows the tile 3 to automatically align itself by simply abutting against the positioning support protrusions 115 during installation, which helps to improve the installation speed.

[0033] In one embodiment, combined Figures 1 to 3 In the aforementioned tile wall corner fixing keel 1, the mounting plane 114 is also provided with a leveling device fixing hole 116, and the positioning support protrusion 115 and the leveling device fixing hole 116 are on the same straight line in the width direction of the mounting top plate 111.

[0034] After tile 3 is installed at the external corner of wall 2, to ensure its flatness with adjacent horizontal tiles 3, a tile leveler 7 can be inserted into the leveler fixing hole 116 on the installation plane 114 through the joint of adjacent tiles 3 and secured. This achieves leveling between adjacent tiles 3, thus ensuring the flatness of the tiled wall. Since the leveler fixing hole 116 is on the same straight line as the positioning support protrusion 115, and the lower edge of tile 3 abuts against the positioning support protrusion 115, the leveler fixing hole 116 will automatically align with the joint of the upper and lower tiles 3. Therefore, after the tiles 3 are glued and fixed, the tile leveler 7 can be used directly for leveling and fixing, and it can also keep the tiles 3 fixed on the wall 2 before they are fully glued and cured.

[0035] In one embodiment, combined Figures 1 to 3In the aforementioned tile wall corner fixing joist 1, a groove 117 is provided on the mounting plane 114, extending along the length of the tile wall corner fixing joist 1. The groove 117 increases the moment of inertia of the tile wall corner fixing joist 1, making it more stable, and also allows the use of a first fastener at the groove 117 to fix the tile wall corner fixing joist 1 to the wall 2. For example, as... Figure 5 As shown, the first fastener can be an expansion nail 5. The expansion nail 5 is used to fix the tile wall corner fixing keel 1 to the wall 2 at the position of the groove 117. The tail of the expansion nail 5 is hidden in the groove 117 and will not protrude from the installation surface 114, thereby ensuring that the installation of the tile 3 on the installation surface 114 is not affected.

[0036] Preferably, the leveling device fixing hole 116 is provided on the bottom wall of the groove 117.

[0037] In one embodiment, combined Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the aforementioned tile wall corner fixing keel 1 is a profile. Therefore, processes such as rolling, extrusion, and casting can be used to manufacture the tile wall corner fixing keel 1, thereby improving its physical strength. Preferably, in this embodiment, the aforementioned tile wall corner fixing keel 1 is a metal profile. For example, the tile wall corner fixing keel 1 is an aluminum alloy profile, which ensures both the rigidity and lightweight of the profile.

[0038] Combined Figures 1-5 In this embodiment, a ceramic tile wall corner mounting assembly is also provided, comprising: a wall surface 2, ceramic tiles 3, and the aforementioned ceramic tile wall corner fixing keel 1. The wall surface 2 has a corner; the fixing plates 112 on both sides of the corner of the ceramic tile wall corner fixing keel 1 abut against the wall surface 2 and are fixedly connected to the wall surface 2; there are two ceramic tiles 3, the end faces of the two ceramic tiles 3 at one end of the corner are beveled 31, the lower edges of the two ceramic tiles 3 abut against the positioning support protrusions 115 on the mounting planes 114 on both sides of the corner, and the ceramic tiles 3 are adhered to the mounting planes 114 so that the beveled surfaces 31 of the two ceramic tiles 3 are in contact with each other.

[0039] Specifically, the bevel 31 at the external corner of the tile 3 can be pre-processed in the factory and then directly laid on site, which can greatly improve the on-site installation efficiency. Of course, it can also be cut on site, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0040] In one embodiment, as shown in the figure, when the mounting plane 114 is provided with a groove 117, the above-mentioned tile wall corner mounting assembly further includes: expansion nails 5, used to fix the tile wall corner fixing keel 1 to the wall 2 at the groove 117 position on the mounting plane 114.

[0041] In one embodiment, combined Figure 6 In addition, the above-mentioned tile wall corner installation assembly also includes a tile leveler 7, which is detachably clamped to the surface of two adjacent tiles 3 and the leveler fixing hole 116 on the tile wall corner fixing keel 1.

[0042] In this embodiment, the leveling device fixing hole 116 on the tile wall corner fixing keel 1 provides a fixing position for the tile leveling device 7. After the bonding and installation of the upper and lower tiles 3 are completed, the tile leveling device 7 can be connected to the leveling device fixing hole 116 to clamp the upper and lower tiles 3, thereby achieving surface leveling of the tile 3. It should be noted that the tile leveling device 7 here is a conventional product in the art, so the structure of the tile leveling device 7 will not be described in detail here.

[0043] In one embodiment, combined Figure 5 and Figure 6 In order to increase the strength of tile adhesion, the above-mentioned tile wall corner installation assembly also includes a base plate 4, which is fixedly connected to the wall 2 on one side of the fixing plate 112 on the tile wall corner fixing keel 1, and its thickness is consistent with the height of the vertical wall 113.

[0044] During installation, the base plate 4 can be fixed to the fixing plate 112 of the tile wall corner fixing joist 1 or / and the wall 2 using the second fastener at the position where the surface of the base plate 4 faces the fixing plate 112. For example, as shown in the figure, the second fastener is a self-tapping screw 6, which is used to fix the base plate 4 to the fixing plate 112 of the tile wall corner fixing joist 1. Since the tile wall corner fixing joist 1 and the joists at other positions on the wall 2 are leveled, and the fixing plate 112 is fixed at a distance from the mounting plane 114, fixing the base plate 4 to the fixing plate 112 can ensure the flatness of the base plate 4. In addition, since the width of the mounting plane 114 is limited, bonding the tile 3 to both the mounting plane 114 and the base plate 4 can increase the bonding surface area, thereby more firmly connecting the tile 3 to the wall 2.

[0045] It should be noted that the keel structure on the wall 2 used to fix the other end of the tile 3 is different from the keel 1 used to fix the external corner of the tile wall, but both have the same installation plane 114 at the same height and also have a fixing plate 112. This allows the two ends of the base plate 4 to be directly fixed and connected to the corresponding fixing plate 112, thus enabling the quick installation of the base plate 4.

[0046] Combined Figures 1 to 5 In addition, this disclosure also provides a method for installing ceramic tile wall corners, including:

[0047] Step 1: Fix the above-mentioned tile wall corner fixing keel 1 to the wall 2;

[0048] Step 2: Apply adhesive evenly to the mounting surface 114;

[0049] Step 3: Place the lower edges of the two tiles 3, one of which has a beveled end face 31, against the positioning support protrusions 115 on both sides of the corner fixing keel 1 of the tile wall, and then stick the tiles 3 onto the installation plane 114 so that the beveled ends 31 of the two tiles 3 meet each other.

[0050] In the above-described method for installing tiles at the external corner of a wall, before the adhesive cures, tile 3 tends to move downwards due to gravity. At this time, the positioning support protrusion 115 provides support, ensuring that tile 3 is positioned correctly. Furthermore, the spacing of the positioning support protrusion 115 can be pre-processed according to the width of tile 3, allowing for alignment installation simply by placing tile 3 against the protrusion 115. This eliminates the need for on-site marking, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0051] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this disclosure and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
