Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of building decoration, and particularly relates to an adjustable foot for the base layer of an assembled wall panel and an installation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In indoor and outdoor decoration, the entire floor and wall need to be leveled before installing the floor and wall panels, so that the flatness of the floor after installation on the ground and the wall panel after installation on the wall meets the building requirements. As an important adjustable support element for the base structure of assembled wall panels, the adjustable foot plays an important role. Currently, the common adjustable feet for assembled wall panels on the market are restricted by the adjustment direction and have relatively high requirements for the flatness of the installation base wall.

[0003] To solve the above problems, a Chinese patent with the application number 201620739173.X discloses an adjustable foot. The disclosed adjustable foot includes a bottom foot pad, a bottom foot, a bottom foot stud, a male bottom foot, a sleeve nut, a sleeve, a male joint, an adjustment knob, a support rod, a flat top seat and an adhesive ring. The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The geometric shape of the bottom foot pad is set as a cylindrical shape. The cylindrical bottom foot pad is more conducive to placing the adjustable foot stably on the table. Four bottom foot pads are installed under the bottom foot, and the four bottom foot pads can easily balance the bottom foot. The cylindrical bottom foot pad makes it simpler to place the bottom foot stably on the table. The geometric shape of the bottom foot is set as a cylinder with a taper on the front surface, which reduces the shear stress at the connection between the bottom foot stud and the bottom foot. The bottom foot stud is installed at the upper end of the bottom foot. The bottom foot stud is arranged on the male bottom foot, and the bottom foot stud with a trapezoidal thread profile ensures a more secure connection between the bottom foot and the sleeve. At the same time, the trapezoidal thread can withstand a large axial load. A Chinese patent with the application number 201920610205.X discloses a universal adjustable foot. The disclosed universal adjustable foot includes: a base, the base includes an installation surface, and a spherical groove is opened on the installation surface; a connecting rod, a spherical rotor is installed at the first end of the connecting rod, the spherical rotor is rotatably arranged in the spherical groove, and an adjustment threaded hole is opened on the end surface of the second end of the connecting rod; an adjustment rod, an external thread is arranged at the first end of the adjustment rod, the first end of the adjustment rod is screwed into the adjustment threaded hole, a support member, the support member includes a leveling surface for supporting the plate; the second end of the adjustment rod is installed on the support member; the base and the connecting rod both face away from the leveling surface.

[0004] In the prior art disclosed above, through the sleeve provided on the flat top seat and the bottom foot stud threadedly connected to the sleeve, during use, the sleeve and the bottom foot stud are rotated threadedly to adjust the distance between the flat top seat and the bottom foot pad, thereby realizing the adjustment of the adjusting foot. However, the adjusting foot disclosed above can only adjust the length of the adjusting foot and cannot meet the adjustment of the rotation angle of the adjusting foot; in addition, the prior art also discloses that the universal adjusting foot passes through a vertical spherical groove, and a spherical rotor and a connecting rod that cooperate with the spherical groove. Although the adjustment work of the angles in all directions is realized, since the surface of the spherical rotor is a smooth curved surface, the spherical rotor cannot be fixed, and thus the rotation angle of the connecting rod cannot be fixed, affecting the overall installation accuracy.
