Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of interior decoration, in particular to a wall capable of hiding gateway appliances and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the past, it was common practice to bury cables, network lines and other device connecting lines in walls during home and commercial decoration, which was generally achieved by placing them in rubber tubes. The main advantage of this approach is that it is aesthetically pleasing, making the room look neat and tidy, and avoiding safety hazards caused by excessive and disorganized electrical wiring. However, with the passage of time and advances in technology, this technology has shown its obvious shortcomings and limitations.

[0003] Firstly, this technology faces the problem of cable quantity limitation. Because the volume of the rubber tube is limited, each rubber tube can only accommodate a few wires. In modern life, due to the increase in household appliances, smart devices, network devices and other types of equipment, the demand for electrical wiring has gradually increased, and the original concealed wiring technology has been unable to meet the demand. Moreover, the rubber tube will change shape over time or due to environmental factors such as humidity, making it difficult to remove or replace the electrical wiring.

[0004] Secondly, when repairing or replacing electrical wiring, it is often necessary to damage the wall and create new lines on the wall, which has a significant impact. This process not only produces a lot of dust, but also can damage the decorations on the surface of the wall, such as paint, wallpaper, tiles, etc., causing a lot of inconvenience to users and high construction costs.

[0005] Finally, due to the limitations of concealed wiring technology, some devices need to be placed in a visible location, occupying indoor space. In some cases, due to the lack of hidden electrical wiring, the disorganized electrical wiring can cause unnecessary accidents, such as tripping, especially for the elderly or children.

[0006] At the same time, with the rapid development of technology, new devices and technologies such as information technology equipment, smart devices are emerging, and the development of wireless technology is gradually moving towards high speed and stability. For example, power over Ethernet (PoE) technology can save space for connecting power lines and transformers for each device, but each device still needs to be connected to a cable. However, with the continuous upgrading of PoE technology and the growing demand for wired and wireless devices, traditional concealed wiring technology is obviously unable to meet this trend. SUMMARY

[0007] The present application aims to at least solve one of the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a wall capable of hiding gateway appliances and a preparation method thereof that can meet the needs of modern architecture.

[0008] To achieve the above object, in a first aspect, the application discloses a wall body capable of hiding installation of a gateway electrical appliance, comprising a base wall, an outer wall installed on the base wall through a connecting piece, and an outer decorative layer arranged on the outer surface of the outer wall, wherein the base wall and the outer wall are spaced apart through the connecting piece to form a wire running position; a slot position for placing the gateway electrical appliance is formed on the base wall, and a wire connected to the gateway electrical appliance runs from the wire running position, so that the gateway electrical appliance and the attached wire are hidden and installed in the wall body.

[0009] In some embodiments, the thickness of the base wall is greater than the installed gateway electrical appliance, and the base wall is made of a material that is not electromagnetically isolated.

[0010] In some embodiments, the inner side wall surface of the slot position is a tooth-shaped surface, which is in contact with the gateway electrical appliance by using a tooth-shaped tip, thereby reducing the contact surface with the gateway electrical appliance, reducing the influence on the gateway electrical appliance, and improving the heat dissipation at the same time.

[0011] In some embodiments, a clamping piece for fixing the wire is arranged in the wire running position, and the clamping piece is fixed in the wire running position, so that the wire runs regularly in the wire running position.

[0012] In some embodiments, the width of the wire running position is not less than 5.74 mm, which meets the use of standard wires.

[0013] In some embodiments, the outer decorative layer is one or a combination of at least two of a paint layer, wallpaper, cloth, and leather.

[0014] In some embodiments, the connecting piece is a hardware hanger.

[0015] In some embodiments, a plurality of slot positions independent of each other are arranged in the base wall, and the size of the slot position is adapted to the size of the installed gateway electrical appliance.

[0016] In some embodiments, a heat-conducting silica gel layer in contact with the surface of the gateway electrical appliance for heat conduction is arranged in the slot position, which conducts the heat generated by the gateway electrical appliance to the outer wall, thereby better ensuring the use stability of the gateway electrical appliance.

[0017] In some embodiments, a heat dissipation fan is arranged in the slot position, which makes the air in the slot position and the wire running position flow, thereby improving the heat dissipation of the gateway electrical appliance and better ensuring the working stability of the gateway electrical appliance.

[0018] In a second aspect, the application discloses a preparation method of a wall body capable of hiding installation of a gateway electrical appliance, comprising the following steps:

[0019] Step one: selecting a plate, selecting a plate with a thickness of at least 3-5 mm greater than that of the gateway electrical appliance as the outer wall;

[0020] Step two: opening a slot position, opening a slot position with a tooth-shaped inner wall surface on the outer wall according to the size of the gateway electrical appliance.

[0021] Step three: install the outer decorative layer, adhere the outer decorative layer to the outer surface of the outer wall, and make the outer decorative layer and the outer wall into one body;

[0022] Step four: install the gateway electrical appliance, place the gateway electrical appliance into the slot, connect the gateway electrical appliance with the corresponding wire, fix the outer wall made in step three on the base wall through the connecting piece, and form a wiring position of no less than 5.74mm between the base wall and the outer wall.

[0023] In some embodiments, after the slot is opened in step two, a heat-conducting silica gel layer is arranged on the bottom surface of the slot or a cooling fan is installed.

[0024] In some embodiments, when the step four is implemented, the wire connected with the gateway electrical appliance is pre-fixed on the outer surface of the base wall before the outer wall is connected with the base wall.

[0025] The wall body of the present application can hide the installation of the gateway electrical appliance, which helps to improve the layout of the circuit and the installation of the equipment, meet the needs of modern equipment and technology, reduce the trouble during decoration, improve the use and updating efficiency of the wire, and optimize the use of space, which has important value and significance for the improvement of home life and business environment.
