[0036] In one embodiment, please combine Figures 1 to 7 The present application provides a prefabricated wall panel buckle groove structure 100, comprising: a covering portion 10, used to cover the corner 310 of the wall 300, the outer side surface 11 of the covering portion 10 facing away from the corner 310 is an arc surface; buckle components 20, arranged on opposite sides of the covering portion 10, each buckle component 20 includes a first clamping edge 21, a second clamping edge 22 and a convex edge 24 arranged on the second clamping edge 22, the first clamping edge 21 and the second clamping edge 22 are convexly arranged on the inner side surface 12 of the covering portion 10 at intervals, the protrusion height of the second clamping edge 22 is greater than the protrusion height of the first clamping edge 21, and a buckle groove 23 is provided between the convex edge 24 and the end of the first clamping edge 21, and the buckle groove 23 is used to clamp into the first buckle strip 210 on the decorative wall panel 200.
[0037] In the above-mentioned assembled wall panel groove structure 100, during the closing construction, the covering part 10 is covered on the corner 310 of the wall 300, and the outer side surface 11 of the covering part 10 is designed to be an arc curved surface, which replaces the right-angle corner 310, makes the covering surface smooth and round, and the structure fits stably, effectively solving the problem of warping risk caused by slight collision; at the same time, since snap-in components 20 are provided on both sides of the covering part 10, the first snap strip 210 on the decorative wall panel 200 can be snapped into the groove 23 between the first clamping edge 21 and the convex edge 24, so that the snap-in structure 100 can be quickly and stably fixed between the two decorative wall panels 200, with low construction difficulty, short construction period and firm structure.
[0038] It should be explained that the decorative wall panel 200 is used to be laid on the wall surface of the wall body 300 to achieve a decorative effect. During actual construction, an overhead layer can be set between the decorative wall panel 200 and the wall surface. The first buckle strip 210 is installed on the side of the decorative wall panel 200, and there are many ways to install it, such as: bolt fixing, clamping, pinning, etc. At the same time, the outer side surface 11 of the covering part 10 presents an arc surface, such as: a part of a cylindrical surface. In addition, the specific arc size of the outer side surface 11 of the covering part 10 can be determined according to the actual construction.
[0039] Specifically, the covering part 10 and the buckle component 20 are an integrated structure, for example, they are integrally formed by casting or extrusion. At the same time, the materials of the covering part 10 and the buckle component 20 can be selected from a variety of options, such as aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, etc.
[0040] Furthermore, please combine Figures 1 to 4 Each of the buckle components 20 also includes a folded edge 25, which is disposed on the side of the convex edge 24 facing away from the first clamping edge 21, and the ends of the folded edge 25 and the second clamping edge 22 are used to abut against the second buckle strip 220 on the decorative wallboard 200, wherein the second buckle strip 220 is spaced parallel to the first buckle strip 210 and closer to the wall 300. It can be seen that the folded edge 25 and the second clamping edge 22 on the convex edge 24 are abutted against the second buckle strip 220, so that when the first buckle strip 210 is inserted into the buckle groove 23, the folded edge 25 and the second clamping edge 22 simultaneously act on the second buckle strip 220, ensuring that the buckle groove structure 100 and the decorative wallboard 200 are more firmly combined, thereby facilitating the stability of the overall structure.
[0041] It should be explained that the second buckle strip 220 and the first buckle strip 210 are installed at intervals on the side of the decorative panel, and the two can form a U-shaped structure or an I-shaped structure on the decorative panel.
[0042] In one embodiment, please combine Figures 1 to 4 Each buckle component 20 also includes an abutment portion 26 protruding from the inner side surface 12 of the covering portion 10. The abutment portion 26 is located on the side of the second buckle strip 220 facing away from the first buckle strip 210, and its protruding height is greater than the protruding height of the second clamping edge 22. The abutment portion 26 is used to abut against the end of the second buckle strip 220. It can be seen that the abutment portion 26 is introduced so that the abutment portion 26 and the end of the second buckle strip 220 abut against each other, so as to avoid loosening between the buckle groove structure 100 and the decorative wallboard 200 along the insertion direction during assembly, thereby affecting the stability of the overall structure.
[0043] Specifically, the covering portion 10 , the buckle component 20 and the abutting portion 26 are an integrated structure.
[0044] For further information, please refer to Figure 4The abutting portion 26 includes a first side edge 261 and a second side edge 262 arranged in parallel, and an abutting edge 263 connected to the first side edge 261 and the second side edge 262, and the abutting edge 263 is used to abut against the end of the second buckle strip 220. It can be seen that the abutting edge 263 is supported by the first side edge 261 and the second side edge 262, which can increase the structural strength of the abutting edge 263, so that it can abut against the second buckle strip 220 more stably.
[0045] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 The assembled wall panel buckle groove structure 100 also includes a collar assembly 40. A mounting ridge 30 is provided on the inner side surface 12 of the covering portion 10. The mounting ridge 30 is located between the two buckle components 20. The collar assembly 40 is snapped onto the mounting ridge 30 and is used to be snapped onto the corner 310 of the wall 300.
[0046] It can be seen that a rim assembly 40 is provided on the inner side surface 12 of the covering portion 10. After the covering portion 10 covers the corner 310, the rim assembly 40 can be clamped on the corner 310, so that the covering portion 10 has a support base on the corner 310, thereby preventing the covering portion 10 from being easily collapsed due to impact by external force; at the same time, clamping the rim assembly 40 on the corner 310 can prevent the covering portion 10 from shaking left and right on the corner 310, thereby further improving the stability of the overall structure; in addition, since the rim assembly 40 is clamped on the mounting ridge 30, it can be quickly assembled and replaced, thereby facilitating improved assembly efficiency and maintenance efficiency.
[0047] It should be explained that the mounting ridge 30 is fixed on the inner side 12 of the cover 10 to facilitate installation of the rim assembly 40. The mounting ridge 30 can be connected to the cover 10 in a variety of ways, such as integral molding, clamping, welding, etc.
[0048] Specifically, the mounting convex strip 30 and the covering portion 10 are an integrated structure.
[0049] For further information, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The sleeve assembly 40 includes a connecting accessory 43 and a sleeve accessory 41. The connecting accessory 43 is clamped on the installation convex strip 30, and the sleeve accessory 41 is clamped on the connecting accessory 43 and is used to clamp on the corner 310 of the wall 300. It can be seen that the connecting accessory 43 facilitates the sleeve accessory 41 to be stably clamped on the installation convex strip 30.
[0050] In one embodiment, the mounting convex strip 30 includes a first support strip 31 and a first cylindrical strip 32, and the first cylindrical strip 32 is connected to the inner side surface 12 of the covering portion 10 through the first support strip 31; the sleeve fitting 41 includes a sleeve edge component 42 and a second cylindrical strip 44 connected to the sleeve edge component 42; the connecting fitting 43 includes a second support strip 431 and a first open cylindrical groove 432 and a second open cylindrical groove 433 respectively connected to the two ends of the second support strip 431, the first open cylindrical groove 432 is sleeved on the first cylindrical strip 32, and the second open cylindrical groove 433 is sleeved on the second cylindrical strip 44.
[0051] It can be seen that during construction, the first open cylindrical groove 432 can be snapped onto the first cylindrical strip 32 first; and then the second cylindrical strip 44 can be snapped into the second open cylindrical groove 433, so that the installation of the sleeve assembly 40 can be completed quickly. Since the snap connection between the connecting fitting 43 and the mounting convex strip 30, and the snap connection between the sleeve fitting 41 and the connecting fitting 43 are both the cooperation of the cylindrical strip and the open cylindrical groove, the connecting fitting 43 and the mounting convex strip 30, and the sleeve fitting 41 and the connecting fitting 43 can be allowed to rotate correspondingly, so that the sleeve component 42 is more flexible on the covering part 10, so that the sleeve component 42 is easier to be snapped onto the corner 310.
[0052] It needs to be explained that the open cylindrical grooves in the first open cylindrical groove 432 and the second open cylindrical groove 433 can be understood as: the groove body as a whole is a cylindrical structure, and the side of the groove body has an opening extending along its own length direction, so that the corresponding cylindrical strip can be easily inserted into the groove body.
[0053] For further information, please refer to Figure 7 The edge member 42 includes a first edge 421 and a second edge 422 connected at a right angle, and the angle between the first edge 421 and the second edge 422 is used to be mounted on the corner 310 of the wall 300. It can be seen that the edge member 42 is stably stuck on the corner 310.
[0054] For further information, please refer to Figure 7 , a buffer pad 423 is provided on both the first edge 421 and the second edge 422, and an anti-skid protrusion 424 is provided on the buffer pad 423. It can be seen that the buffer pad 423 is used to prevent the first edge 421 and the second edge 422 from directly and rigidly contacting the wall surface, thereby reducing the wear on the wall surface. At the same time, the anti-skid protrusion 424 is provided on the buffer pad 423 to ensure that the first edge 421 and the second edge 422 are stably stuck on the corner 310.
[0055] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5The number of the mounting ridges 30 is multiple, and all the mounting ridges 30 are arranged in parallel and spaced on the inner side surface 12 of the covering portion 10. It can be seen that the inner side surface 12 of the covering portion 10 is provided with multiple mounting ridges 30 arranged in parallel and spaced, so that the edge assembly 40 can be selectively snapped onto one of the mounting ridges 30, so that the position of the edge assembly 40 can be changed, which is convenient for applying to walls 300 with different corner 310 sizes, and improves the applicability of the buckle groove structure 100.
[0056] Specifically, there are three mounting ridges 30 , one of which is located in the middle of the covering portion 10 , and the other two mounting ridges 30 are located at opposite sides of the mounting ridge 30 .
