Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wall panel installation technology, and more specifically, to a leveling and fixing device for wall panel installation. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of architectural decoration, the installation of wainscoting is a common and important task. Wainscoting not only enhances the aesthetics of a space but also provides some protection for the walls.
[0003] When installing wall panels, workers can use tools such as levels to assist in the installation, but these tools are complex to use and need to be carried by the workers. When workers install wall panels by eye without the aid of external tools, the installation error is relatively large. Actual operational statistics show that visual installation of wall panels typically produces an error of 5 to 10 degrees, with a maximum tilt error of up to 10 degrees. Such a large error will seriously affect the overall effect of the wall panel installation, resulting in uneven splicing between panels and an uneven wall surface, which not only affects aesthetics. In conclusion, existing methods of leveling and fixing wall panels, whether using external tools or relying solely on the naked eye, have significant shortcomings, and there is an urgent need for a device that can achieve more efficient and precise leveling and fixing of wall panels. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model proposes a leveling and fixing device for the installation of wall panels.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solution through the following technical method:
[0006] A leveling and fixing device for installing wall panels includes a wall panel body with a cavity inside. An installation rod is fixed inside the cavity. A fan-shaped suspension plate that can rotate along the axis of the installation rod is provided on the installation rod. A leveling hole is opened in the cavity on one side wall of the wall panel body. An indicator hole is opened on the fan-shaped suspension plate. When the wall panel body is leveled and the fan-shaped suspension plate is naturally suspended, the leveling hole and the indicator hole are aligned.
[0007] When installing the wall panel, place the wall panel body equipped with the leveling and fixing device in the predetermined installation position. Since the fan-shaped suspension plate can rotate along the axis of the mounting rod, when the wall panel body is not leveled, the fan-shaped suspension plate will naturally droop due to its own weight, and the leveling hole and indicator hole will not align. Installers determine whether the wall panel body is level by observing whether the leveling hole and indicator hole are aligned. If they are not aligned, the position of the wall panel body is adjusted. When the leveling hole and indicator hole are aligned, it indicates that the wall panel body is leveled, and it can then be fixed in place. This design utilizes the principle of gravity, allowing installers to quickly and intuitively determine whether the wall panel is level without complicated operations.
[0008] Compared to traditional installation methods that rely on complex tools such as levels, this device eliminates the need for tedious calibration and adjustment. Installers only need to observe whether the leveling holes and indicator holes are aligned to determine if the wall panel is level, significantly saving installation time and improving work efficiency. It can be easily operated even in complex and confined construction spaces.
[0009] Preferably, the central angle of the fan-shaped suspension plate is greater than 20° and less than 180°.
[0010] The maximum error that can be detected by the human eye during installation is generally around 10°. During the installation of the wall panel, when manually adjusting its position to achieve a level state, the fan-shaped suspension plate will rotate accordingly. When the angle of the fan-shaped suspension plate is greater than 20°, it ensures that a portion of the plate remains within the leveling hole throughout the entire rotation. This guarantees that installers can accurately monitor the position of the plate relative to the leveling hole, regardless of the adjustment range. If the angle of the fan-shaped suspension plate is too small, it may completely deviate from the leveling hole during adjustment, causing installers to directly observe a cavity through the hole and mistakenly believe that leveling is complete.
[0011] The angle design of less than 180° allows the fan-shaped suspension plate to suspend naturally and stably under the action of gravity. When the wall panel is not level, the fan-shaped suspension plate will droop to the lower side due to gravity, and its drooping direction is clear and stable.
[0012] Preferably, it also includes a sealing plug, which can be inserted into the leveling hole and into the indicator hole of the corresponding sector suspension piece.
[0013] The sealing plug effectively prevents dust and debris from entering the interior of the wall panel, extending the service life of components such as the mounting rods and fan-shaped suspension plates. It reduces wear and jamming of components caused by debris accumulation, ensuring the leveling and fixing device always maintains good working performance. Simultaneously, it keeps the fan-shaped suspension pieces fixed during use, preventing abnormal noises caused by their movement.
[0014] Preferably, the fan-shaped suspension plate includes a suspension plate body, an mounting sleeve is fixed at the axis of the suspension plate body, an mounting rod passes through the axis of the mounting sleeve, the thickness of the suspension plate body is less than the length of the mounting sleeve, and the front and rear side walls of the mounting sleeve fit against the inner wall of the cavity.
[0015] The main body of the fan-shaped suspension plate is connected to the mounting rod via a mounting sleeve fixed at its axis. The mounting rod passes through the axis of the mounting sleeve, allowing the fan-shaped suspension plate to rotate freely around the axis of the mounting rod. During the leveling process of the wall panel, when the wall panel tilts, the fan-shaped suspension plate, under the action of gravity, swings around the connection point between the mounting sleeve and the mounting rod, thereby changing the relative position of the indicator hole and the leveling hole, providing installers with a basis for judging the leveling.
[0016] Thickness and Length Relationship and Fitting Principle: The thickness of the suspension plate body is less than the length of the mounting sleeve, and the front and rear sidewalls of the mounting sleeve fit snugly against the inner wall of the cavity. This design ensures the stability of the fan-shaped suspension plate when rotating within the cavity. The relatively long mounting sleeve, fitting snugly against the inner wall of the cavity, restricts the radial displacement of the fan-shaped suspension plate during rotation, allowing it to rotate only circumferentially around the axis of the mounting rod. Simultaneously, the thinner suspension plate body, while ensuring its own weight allows the fan-shaped suspension plate to swing normally under gravity, reduces the space occupied within the cavity, avoiding interference with other components inside the cavity and ensuring the normal operation of the leveling device.
[0017] Preferably, the main body of the suspension plate has a counterweight located directly below the indicator hole.
[0018] The addition of counterweights significantly enhances the responsiveness of the fan-shaped suspension plate to the tilt of the wall panel. Even with only a very small tilt angle of the wall panel, the large gravitational torque generated by the counterweights can drive the main body of the suspension plate to rotate rapidly, making the misalignment between the indicator hole and the leveling hole more easily observable. This allows installers to detect and adjust the misalignment in a timely manner, further reducing installation errors and significantly improving the leveling accuracy of the wall panel installation. This effectively solves the problem of large visual installation errors in the prior art.
[0019] Preferably, the wall panel body is provided with mounting holes and also includes mounting nails, which can pass through the mounting holes to fix the wall panel body to the wall.
[0020] The installation holes and mounting screws enable the installation and fixation of the wall panel body.
[0021] Preferably, the mounting holes are located at the four corners of the wall panel body, and the mounting holes are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the wall panel body.
[0022] The mounting holes are symmetrically located at the four corners of the wall panel body, allowing for even distribution of fixing force during installation. This enhances stability and stress balance, improves installation accuracy, facilitates construction, strengthens the overall structure, and ensures the wall panel is firmly and aesthetically installed on the wall.

[0030] Example
[0031] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment discloses a leveling and fixing device for installing a wall panel, which mainly consists of a wall panel body 110. The wall panel body 110 has a cavity 1101 inside, and a mounting rod 1102 is fixed inside the cavity 1101. A fan-shaped suspension plate 120, which can rotate around its axis, is sleeved on the mounting rod 1102. The central angle of the fan-shaped suspension plate 120 is greater than 20° and less than 180°. It includes the suspension plate body 1201, with a mounting sleeve 1202 fixed at its axis. The mounting rod 1102 passes through the axis of the mounting sleeve 1202. The thickness of the suspension plate body 1201 is less than the length of the mounting sleeve 1202, and the front and rear sidewalls of the mounting sleeve 1202 are in contact with the inner wall of the cavity 1101. A counterweight 150 is fixed on the suspension plate body 1201 directly below an indicator hole 130. In this example, the counterweight 150 is suspended below the indicator hole 130 by a rope.
[0032] The wall panel body 110 has leveling holes 1103 on one side wall corresponding to each cavity 1101, and is also equipped with sealing plugs 140, which can be inserted into the leveling holes 1103 and inserted into the indicator holes 130. The four corners of the wall panel body 110 are symmetrically provided with mounting holes 1104 along the central axis, and are equipped with mounting nails 160.
[0033] The leveling process is as follows: When installing the wall panel, the workers first visually pre-level the wall panel body 110, at which point the tilt angle of the wall panel is within 10°. Due to gravity, the lower fan-shaped suspension piece 120 naturally droops, and the leveling hole 1103 is not aligned with the indicator hole 130. The installers determine whether the wall panel is level by observing whether the two holes are aligned; if not, they adjust the position. After leveling, the mounting nails 160 are passed through the symmetrically arranged mounting holes 1104 at the four corners of the wall panel body 110 and driven into the wall. The friction between the mounting nails 160 and the wall surface is used to fix the wall panel body 110. Then, the sealing plug 140 is inserted into the leveling hole 1103 and the indicator hole 130 to prevent debris from entering and to fix the fan-shaped suspension piece 120.
[0034] Utilizing the principle of gravity, leveling can be quickly determined by observing whether the leveling hole 1103 and the indicator hole 130 are aligned, without the need for complex tools for calibration, saving time and improving efficiency. The fan-shaped suspension plate 120 at a specific angle and the counterweight 150 are designed to improve leveling accuracy and reduce errors.
[0035] The sealing plug 140 blocks debris, extends the device's lifespan, maintains good working performance, and simultaneously secures the fan-shaped suspension plate 120 to prevent abnormal noise. The symmetrical mounting holes 1104 at the four corners ensure uniform fixing force, enhance stability and stress balance, and improve the overall structural integrity.
[0036] In summary, the above are merely preferred embodiments of this embodiment. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of this embodiment shall fall within the scope of the patent of this embodiment.
