Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of panel joining technology, and in particular to a panel joining structure and joining method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, prefabricated integrated bathroom wall panels on the market use either dovetail tenons to insert into the slots of the two subframes of adjacent ceramic panels from above, or two interlocking thick metal plates fixed to the back of the ceramic panels to secure the subframes of adjacent ceramic panels, achieving both waterproofing and mutual fixation. However, neither of these methods is suitable for thick wall panels. Once the thickness increases, these fixing methods cannot rely on the clamping force to reach the waterproof strip at the front of the panel, leading to waterproofing failure. Summary of the Invention

When two adjacent wall panels are connected, the edges of the two panels on both sides of the substrate are joined to form two gaps. The first frame and the second frame are connected to form two waterproof structures, and one waterproof structure is respectively used to seal one gap.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the waterproof structure further includes a break portion connected to the end of the filler away from the fixing member, and the break portion is disposed within the gap.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the first frame includes a first frame, a first sub-fixing member, and a first sub-filling member, wherein the first frame, the first sub-fixing member, and the first sub-filling member are connected in sequence;

[0010] The second frame includes a second frame body, a second sub-fixing member, and a second sub-filling member, which are connected in sequence.

[0011] The first sub-fixing member and the second sub-fixing member are connected to form the fixing member. The fixing member has a hollow cavity, and an elastic member is provided in the hollow cavity. The intercepting wall is the cavity wall of the hollow cavity, and the elastic member presses the intercepting wall tightly against the plate.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the first sub-fixing member includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a first sub-intercepting wall. The first sidewall is connected to the first frame. The first frame, the second sidewall, and the first sub-intercepting wall are connected in sequence. The second sidewall and the first sub-intercepting wall are respectively spaced apart from the first sidewall. The first sub-filling member is connected to the first sub-intercepting wall.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the second sub-fixing member includes a second sub-intercepting wall and a third side wall, the third side wall connecting the second sub-intercepting wall and the second frame, and the second sub-filling member connecting the second sub-intercepting wall.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the first sub-interceptor wall and the second sub-interceptor wall are respectively connected to two adjacent plates, and the first sub-interceptor wall and the second sub-interceptor wall are connected to form the interceptor wall;

[0015] The intercepting wall, the second side wall, the first frame, the first side wall, and the third side wall are sequentially connected to form the hollow cavity.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the waterproof structure further includes a sealing strip disposed within the gap, the sealing strip being connected to both of the plates and the filler respectively.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the first frame further includes a plurality of first mating members, the plurality of first mating members being spaced apart along the extension direction of the first frame, the first mating members being connected to the first frame and spaced apart from the first sub-fixing member;

[0018] The second frame also includes a plurality of second connecting members, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the second frame. The second connecting members are connected to the second frame and spaced apart from the second sub-fixing member.

[0019] When two adjacent wall panels are connected, one of the first mating parts and one of the second mating parts are connected accordingly.

[0021] Assemble the substrate and the sheet material to form at least two wall panels;

[0022] Remove the broken part;

[0023] Move the two wall panels to align the panels and substrates, and make the first edge of one wall panel and the second edge of the other wall panel face each other.

[0024] Connect the multiple first connectors on the first frame and the multiple second connectors on the second frame one by one to form a waterproof structure by connecting the first frame and the second frame.

[0025] Install sealing strips inside the gaps.

[0026] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this application are as follows: This application proposes a wall panel connection structure, including at least two wall panels. Each wall panel includes a sheet material and a substrate. The substrate is disposed on the back side of the sheet material. A first frame and a second frame are provided at opposite ends of the substrate. When two adjacent wall panels are connected, the edges of the two adjacent sheets connect to form a gap, allowing water to enter from the front of the sheet to the back through the gap. Based on this, the first and second frames of the two adjacent substrates are connected to form a waterproof structure. This waterproof structure includes a filler and a fixing member. The filler fills the gap to seal it, and the fixing member has an intercepting wall perpendicular to the direction of communication with the gap. The intercepting wall is connected to the filler and the two sheets respectively, sealing the gap. Thus, by setting up a double waterproof structure that seals and blocks the gap, water cannot enter the interior of the wall panel connection structure through the gap, giving the wall panel connection structure a good waterproof effect at the gap.

[0046] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0049] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

"Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0051] With social development and technological progress, people's living standards have gradually improved, and the use of wood panels has become widespread, both in construction and interior decoration. Typically, the front of the wood panel is decorated and faces outwards, while the back faces the wall. A metal frame is attached to the back of the panel, allowing adjacent panels to be joined together to form a complete decorative surface.

[0052] In most applications of panel materials, such as bathrooms, toilets, and outdoor building walls, waterproofing is required. However, due to their inherent structural characteristics, the panel connection structures in related technologies cannot form a tight connection, resulting in the waterproofing strips failing to hold properly and causing the waterproofing of the panel connection structure to fail.

[0053] In response to the above problems, such as Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a wall panel connection structure 1000, including at least two wall panels 100. Each wall panel 100 includes a sheet 110 and a substrate 120. The substrate 120 is disposed on the back side of the sheet 110. The substrate 120 has a first frame 121 and a second frame 122 at opposite ends. When two adjacent wall panels 100 are connected, the edges of the two adjacent sheets 110 are joined to form a gap 130.

[0054] Normally, water enters the back of the board 110 through the gap 130, causing damage to the subframe or substrate 120 located on the back of the board 110.

[0055] Based on this, in this embodiment, the first frame 121 and the second frame 122 of two adjacent substrates 120 are connected to form a waterproof structure 140. The waterproof structure 140 includes a filler 141 and a fixing member 142. The filler 141 fills the gap 130 to seal the gap 130. The fixing member 142 has an intercepting wall 1421 perpendicular to the communication direction of the gap 130. The intercepting wall 1421 is connected to the filler 141 and the two plates 110 respectively, and the intercepting wall 1421 seals the gap 130. In this way, by setting up a double waterproof structure that seals the gap 130, water cannot enter the interior of the wall panel connection structure 1000 through the gap 130, so that the wall panel connection structure 1000 has a good waterproof effect at the gap 130. At the same time, this double waterproof structure makes the first frame 121 and the second frame 122 tightly connected, preventing the wall panel 100 from bulging in the middle or the waterproof strip near the ceramic plate 110 from not being able to be tightened.

[0056] In some embodiments, the wall panel 100 includes one or two panels 110.

[0057] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, when the wall panel 100 includes a sheet 110, the substrate 120 is disposed on the back side of the sheet 110.

[0058] When two adjacent wall panels 100 are connected, the edges of the two panels 110 of the two wall panels 100 are joined to form a gap 130. The first frame 121 and the second frame 122 of the two wall panels 100, which are close to each other, are connected to form a waterproof structure 140, which seals the gap 130. This structure is suitable for situations where the front of the panel 110 faces outward and the back is connected to a bathroom wall or an outdoor building wall.

[0059] For example, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, when there are two plates 110, the two plates 110 are disposed on opposite sides of the substrate 120.

[0060] When two adjacent wall panels 100 are connected, the edges of the two panels 110 on both sides of the substrate 120 are joined to form two gaps 130. The first frame 121 and the second frame 122 of the two wall panels 100, which are close to each other, are connected to form two waterproof structures 140. Each waterproof structure 140 seals one gap 130. In this way, both sides of the wall panel connection structure 1000 have the front side of the panel 110, and both front sides of the panel 110 are waterproof. This structure is suitable for situations where both sides of the wall panel 100 need to face outwards.

[0061] In one embodiment, the waterproof structure 140 further includes a break portion 143 connected to the end of the filler 141 away from the fastener 142, and the break portion 143 is disposed within the gap 130.

[0062] It is understandable that in some embodiments, the board 110 is made of brittle and hard materials such as ceramic or sintered stone. During the handling of the wall panel 100, there is a risk of the edges of the board 110 being bumped or chipped, which greatly reduces the aesthetics of the wall panel 100. Based on this, before the wall panel 100 is installed, a break portion 143 is provided to cover the edges of the board 110 to prevent the edges of the board 110 from being bumped or chipped.

[0063] When assembling two wall panels 100, the broken part 143 is first broken off. The broken part 143, with its remaining portion and the perfect fit between the first frame 1211 and the second frame 1221, serves as a guide for installation. The remaining portion of the broken part 143 also increases the contact surface area of ​​the sealing strip 144, making it more secure and further ensuring waterproofing.

[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sheet 110 is a thin sheet with a smooth front surface. Some sheets 110 also have decorative patterns. The back of the sheet 110 has a substrate 120. The shape of the substrate 120 matches the shape of the sheet 110.

[0065] Furthermore, the middle part of the substrate 120 includes a support plate 125 and a fireproof plate 126. The support plate 125 is bonded and fixed to the back of the plate 110, and the fireproof plate 126 is bonded to the side of the support plate 125 away from the plate 110, thereby giving the substrate 120 flame-retardant and fireproof functions.

[0066] For example, the support plate 125 is made of aluminum honeycomb panel.

[0067] For example, the support plate 125 is formed by filling the space between the first frame 121 and the second frame 122 with foamed polyurethane.

[0068] It should be noted that the aluminum honeycomb panel has a hexagonal aluminum honeycomb core with a low density (approximately 3-7 kg per square meter), which is 1 / 5 the weight of wood of the same thickness and area, 1 / 6 the weight of glass, and 1 / 7 the weight of aluminum. This greatly reduces the building load and cost. Due to the large amount of air in the interlayer, it can provide sound insulation (air sound insulation can reach 30dB) and heat insulation (thermal resistance can reach 0.02 (㎡·K / W)). It contains no flammable substances, has a fire rating of B1, is waterproof, moisture-proof, and releases no harmful gases. It has a high specific strength and specific stiffness per unit mass, and is not easily deformed, completely overcoming the shortcomings of other decorative panels such as deformation and collapse in the middle when the single area is large. Meanwhile, aluminum honeycomb panels are easy to process and apply, and can be cut and folded at will. The fluorocarbon coating on the surface can ensure the product's lifespan of more than 30 years. The surface of aluminum honeycomb panels has extremely high flatness and good seismic performance, and its weight is only one-eighth that of glass curtain walls. A standard 22mm thick component can withstand a load of more than 700 kgf when simply supported at 1 meter with a deflection of 10mm.

[0069] The support plate 125 is bonded to the back of the plate 110 with adhesive, and then to the middle of the back of the plate 110 with glue. Finally, the fireproof plate 126 is bonded to the back of the support plate 125 with glue again.

[0070] In one embodiment, the substrate 120 is generally rectangular in shape.

[0071] The substrate 120 also includes a third frame 123 and a fourth frame 124. The first frame 121, the third frame 123, the second frame 122 and the fourth frame 124 are connected end to end to form a rectangular frame, and the support plate 125 and the fireproof plate 126 are disposed within the rectangular frame.

[0072] It should be noted that the first frame 121, the third frame 123, the second frame 122 and the fourth frame 124 are all fixedly connected to the back of the plate 110 by adhesive. The first frame 121, the third frame 123, the second frame 122 and the fourth frame 124 frame the support plate 125 and the fireproof plate 126 within their rectangular range.

[0073] The first frame 121, the third frame 123, the second frame 122, and the fourth frame 124 form the edge of the substrate 120. The edge of the substrate 120 does not exceed the edge of the panel 110, so that the substrate 120 is hidden on the back of the panel 110. When multiple wall panels 100 are connected to form a wall, two adjacent substrates 120 are connected by their adjacent frames.

[0074] As mentioned above, in this embodiment, the first frame 121 and the second frame 122 of two adjacent wall panels 100 are connected, and a waterproof structure 140 is formed at the connection between the first frame 121 and the second frame 122.

[0075] Please refer to the following: Figure 6 , Figure 7 ,and Figure 9 In one embodiment, the first frame 121 includes a first frame 1211, a first sub-fixing member 1212 and a first sub-filling member 1213, which are connected in sequence.

[0076] The second frame 122 includes a second frame 1221, a second sub-fixing member 1222, and a second sub-filling member 1223, which are connected in sequence.

[0077] The first sub-fixing member 1212 and the second sub-fixing member 1222 are connected to form a fixing member 142. The fixing member 142 has a hollow cavity 1422, and an elastic member 1423 is provided inside the hollow cavity 1422. The intercepting wall 1421 is the cavity wall of the hollow cavity 1422. The elastic member 1423 presses the intercepting wall 1421 against the plate 110, thereby sealing the gap 130.

[0078] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first sub-fixing member 1212 includes a first sidewall 12121, a second sidewall 12122, and a first sub-intercepting wall 12123. The first sidewall 12121 is connected to the first frame 1211. The first frame 1211, the second sidewall 12122, and the first sub-intercepting wall 12123 are connected in sequence. The second sidewall 12122 and the first sub-intercepting wall 12123 are respectively spaced apart from the first sidewall 12121. The first sub-filler 1213 is connected to the first sub-intercepting wall 12123.

[0079] The second sub-fixing member 1222 includes a second sub-intercepting wall 12221 and a third side wall 12222. The third side wall 12222 connects the second sub-intercepting wall 12221 and the second frame 1221. The second sub-filler 1223 connects the second sub-intercepting wall 12221.

[0080] The first sub-interceptor wall 12123 and the second sub-interceptor wall 12221 are respectively connected to two adjacent plates 110, and the first sub-interceptor wall 12123 and the second sub-interceptor wall 12221 are connected to form an interceptor wall 1421.

[0081] In one embodiment, the intercepting wall 1421, the second side wall 12122, the first frame 1211, the first side wall 12121, and the third side wall 12222 are sequentially connected to form a hollow cavity 1422. In this embodiment, the hollow cavity 1422 is used to accommodate the waterproof strip, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the waterproof structure 140.

[0082] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in one waterproofing implementation, the elastic element 1423 is a waterproof strip. The waterproof strip includes a first portion 14231 and a second portion 14232, wherein the first portion 14231 abuts against the side of the barrier 1421 away from the gap 130, and the second portion 14232 abuts against the first portion 14231.

[0083] It should be noted that when the first part 14231 is not housed within the hollow cavity 1422, the length of the first part 14231 is greater than the length of the hollow cavity 1422 in the direction parallel to the intercepting wall 1421. This structure requires the first sub-fixing member 1212 and the second sub-fixing member 1222 to compress the first part 14231 during assembly to accommodate it within the hollow cavity 1422. After being compressed and deformed, the first part 14231 expands and deforms in the direction of the intercepting wall 1421, applying pressure to the intercepting wall 1421, thereby keeping the intercepting wall 1421 pressed firmly against the plate 110 and ensuring that the filler 141 remains fixed within the gap 130.

[0084] The filler 141 is sandwiched between the two wall panels 100, which in turn tightly connects the first frame 121 and the second frame 122, pressing down the first adhesive strip. This structure prevents the wall panel 100 from bulging in the middle or the waterproof adhesive strip near the ceramic plate 110 from failing to hold properly. By using the intercepting wall 1421 to intercept the gap 130 and the filler 141 to block the gap 130, water is doubled in its interception, preventing water from penetrating to the back of the plate 110 and affecting the original structural wall connected to the wall panel 100. This enhances the waterproofing capability of the joint between the two wall panels 100, i.e., the waterproof structure 140.

[0085] like Figure 7As shown, the second part 14232 positions and fixes the first part 14231. The hollow cavity 1422 has two opposing, spaced protrusions 14221 at the connection between the first part 14231 and the second part 14232, fixing the second part 14232 to the left side of the hollow cavity 1422. The first part 14231 and the second part 14232 are integrally formed, thus connecting them and allowing the waterproof strip to be entirely contained within the hollow cavity 1422, preventing movement of the waterproof strip within the hollow cavity 1422 and ensuring that the first part 14231 always remains in contact with the intercepting wall 1421. This prevents situations where the middle of the wall panel 100 bulges or the waterproof strip near the ceramic plate 110 cannot be properly secured. By using the intercepting wall 1421 to intercept the gap 130 and the filler 141 to block the gap 130, water is doubled in interception, preventing water from penetrating to the back of the board 110 and affecting the original structural wall connected to the wall panel 100. This enhances the waterproofing capability of the connection between the two wall panels 100, i.e., the waterproof structure 140.

[0086] A filler 141 is placed inside the gap 130 to prevent water from entering the back of the board 110 from the front. After the broken part 143 is removed, a sealing strip 144 is placed inside the gap 130 to completely seal the gap 130.

[0087] In one embodiment, the waterproof structure 140 further includes a sealing strip 144 disposed within the gap 130, and the sealing strip 144 is connected to the two plates 110 and the filler 141 respectively. This increases the bonding force between the two adjacent plates 110, further preventing situations where the middle of the wall panel 100 bulges or the waterproof strip near the ceramic plate 110 cannot be properly secured.

[0088] For example, the sealing strip 144 is formed of adhesive.

[0089] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the first frame 121 also includes a plurality of first mating parts 1214. The plurality of first mating parts 1214 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the first frame 1211. The first mating parts 1214 are connected to the first frame 1211 and spaced apart from the first sub-fixing parts 1212.

[0090] The second frame 122 also includes a plurality of second connecting members 1224, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the second frame 1221. The second connecting members 1224 are connected to the second frame 1221 and spaced apart from the second sub-fixing members 1222. In this way, the first frame 121 and the second frame 122 have multiple connection points in the extension direction of the first frame 121. This multi-point connection structure can prevent bulging at the connection between the two wall panels 100, making the connection between the two wall panels 100 tighter and further improving the waterproof performance.

[0091] Please refer to the following: Figure 8 When two adjacent wall panels 100 are connected, a first mating member 1214 and a second mating member 1224 are connected accordingly. When the first mating member 1214 and the second mating member 1224 are mated, the first mating surface 12141 of the first mating member 1214 and the second mating surface 12241 of the second mating member 1224 cooperate and connect with each other under the action of gravity, so that the first mating surface 12141 and the second mating surface 12241 are tightly connected, eliminating the need for threaded connection and improving installation efficiency.

[0092] In this embodiment, the first frame 121 and the second frame 122 of two adjacent wall panels 100 are connected to each other, thereby making the two edges of each wall panel 100 waterproof. The first frame 121 is threadedly connected to the third frame 123 and the fourth frame 124 respectively, and the second frame 122 is threadedly connected to the third frame 123 and the fourth frame 124 respectively.

[0093] In this embodiment, when the wall panel 100 has only one sheet 110, a limiting baffle 1215 is also provided on the first frame 121 or the second frame 122. The limiting baffle 1215 and the intercepting wall 1421 are located on opposite sides of the first mating member 1214. Thus, as... Figure 6 As shown, when the two wall panels 100 are connected, the first mating member 1214 and the second mating member 1224 are restricted between the limiting baffle 1215 and the fixing member 142, making the connection structure between the two wall panels 100 more stable.

[0094] In other embodiments, the third frame 123 may be configured to have the same structure as the first frame 121 or the second frame 122, and the fourth frame 124 may have the same structure as the second frame 122 or the first frame 121. In this way, a waterproof structure 140 can be formed at the connection between the third frame 123 and the fourth frame 124 between two adjacent frames, so that all four edges of a single wall panel 100 can be waterproof.

[0095] Furthermore, the wall panel connection structure 1000 of this application does not impose any particular restrictions on the thickness of the board 110 and the substrate 120, and the overall thickness variation of the wall panel 100 has no impact on the waterproof performance.

[0096] For example, when the two panels 110 are relatively thin, the volume of the filler 141 only needs to be reduced accordingly, and the filler 141 can still block the gap 130 between the two panels 110. In the prior art, when two relatively thin wall panels 100 are connected, bulges or protrusions are likely to occur at the connection point. This application, by setting the first frame 121 and the second frame 122 to have multiple connection points, can prevent bulges from occurring at the connection point of the two wall panels 100, making the connection between the two wall panels 100 tighter and further improving the waterproof performance.

[0097] For example, when the two panels 110 are thicker, only the volume of the filler 141 needs to be increased accordingly, and the filler 141 can still block the gap 130 between the two panels 110. In the prior art, when two thick wall panels 100 are connected, the joint between the two wall panels 100 is not tight enough, and the waterproof strip cannot be properly secured. This application, by setting the first frame 121 and the second frame 122 to have multiple connection points, increases the number of connection points and increases the structural force between the two wall panels 100, making the connection between the two wall panels 100 tighter. At the same time, a sealing strip 144 is set in the gap 130, and the sealing strip 144 adheres to the two panels 110 and the filler 141, avoiding the situation where the waterproof strip cannot be properly secured, and further improving the waterproof performance.

[0098] The wall panel connection structure of this application is convenient for installation and replacement, with high installation efficiency, quick and standardized installation, and can avoid damage caused by bumps during transportation.

[0099] For example, during installation, the support plate 125 and fireproof plate 126 of the substrate 120 are directly bonded to the back of the plate 110. Only the first frame 121, second frame 122, third frame 123 and fourth frame 124 of the edge of the substrate 120 need to be installed. The first frame 121, second frame 122, third frame 123 and fourth frame 124 are bonded or threaded to the support plate 125 respectively, and adjacent frames are threaded together.

[0100] The first mating part 1214 is connected to the first frame 121 by rivets, and the second mating part 1224 is connected to the second frame 122 by rivets. This assembly operation is simple and efficient.

[0101] After the two wall panels 100 are assembled, align their edges first, then raise one of the wall panels 100 so that each first mating piece 1214 is positioned above each second mating piece 1224. Then move the left wall panel 100 towards the right, so that each set of first mating pieces 1214 and second mating pieces 1224 interlock. In this way, the first mating pieces 1214 and second mating pieces 1224 do not require screws; a sliding snap-fit ​​connection is used to connect the two wall panels 100 together, resulting in high installation efficiency, speed, and standardization, and avoiding damage caused by bumps during transportation.

[0102] For example, during disassembly, one of the wall panels 100 only needs to be slid along the extension of the first frame 121 or the second frame 122 to slide and offset the two wall panels 100, thereby destroying the sealing strip 144 formed by the glue and completing the disassembly between the two wall panels 100, which is highly efficient.

[0103] After disassembly, the first connecting piece 1214 is positioned between the first sub-fixing piece 1212 and the limiting baffle 1215, making it less susceptible to impact; the waterproof strip is secured within the hollow cavity 1422 and will not move arbitrarily. Thus, during the transportation and movement of the wall panel 100, the structure of the first frame 121 and the second frame 122 is not easily damaged.

[0104] After disassembly, clean the damaged sealing strip 144 to facilitate the next assembly of the wall panel connection structure 1000.

[0105] Please refer to the following: Figure 11 This application also provides a method for connecting the wall panel 100, which is implemented through the wall panel connection structure 1000 of the above embodiments, including:

[0106] Step S10: Assemble the substrate and the sheet material to form at least two wall panels.

[0107] Specifically, each wall panel 100 has one or two panels 110. When there is one panel 110, a substrate 120 is connected to the back of the panel 110. When there are two panels 110, the substrate 120 is connected to the back of one panel 110, and the back of the other panel 110 is connected to the substrate 120, with the backs of the two panels 110 facing each other and the fronts of the two panels 110 facing opposite sides.

[0108] Step S20: Remove the broken part.

[0109] The broken part 143 can be removed before the two wall panels 100 are joined together.

[0110] Step S30: Move the two wall panels to align the panels and substrates, and make the first edge of one wall panel and the second edge of the other wall panel face each other.

[0111] When two wall panels 100 with only one panel 110 are connected, the front faces of the two panels 110 of the two wall panels 100 face the same side, and the edges of the two panels 110 approach each other to form a gap 130.

[0112] When two wall panels 100 with two plates 110 are connected, the four plates 110 of the two wall panels 100 fit together in pairs, and the edges of the two plates 110 on the same side approach each other and form a gap 130.

[0113] Step S40: Connect the multiple first mating parts on the first frame and the multiple second mating parts on the second frame one by one, so that the first frame and the second frame are connected to form a waterproof structure.

[0114] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the edges of the left and right wall panels 100 are aligned first, and the left wall panel 100 is raised so that each first mating piece 1214 is located above each second mating piece 1224. Then the left wall panels 100 are moved towards each other so that each set of first mating pieces 1214 and second mating pieces 1224 are interlocked and connected.

[0115] Simultaneously, after each set of first mating parts 1214 and second mating parts 1224 are interlocked, the first frame 121 and second frame 122 of two adjacent substrates 120 are connected to form a waterproof structure 140. The filler 141 of the waterproof structure 140 fills the gap 130 to seal it, the broken portion 143 is located within the gap 130, and the intercepting wall 1421 seals the gap 130.

[0116] Step S50: Install a sealing strip inside the gap.

[0117] Specifically, glue is used to fill the gap 130 from the front of the board 110, so that the glue can bond the two adjacent boards 110 and the filler 141. When the glue solidifies, the solidified glue forms a sealing strip 144, forming a third waterproof structure.

[0118] This triple waterproof structure improves the waterproof performance of the wall panel connection structure 1000, making the wall panel 100 suitable for indoor bathrooms, toilets, kitchens and other places that require waterproofing, as well as for outdoor building walls that require waterproofing.
