Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of architectural design technology, and in particular to an embedded brick and cladding wall. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, traditional wet installation methods for ceramic tiles require a large amount of manual labor and on-site work. The construction process involves steps such as setting lines for embedding tiles, applying adhesive mortar, and grouting. Since the area of a single tile is small, manual wet installation is very inefficient for embedding tiles on large walls. Moreover, due to differences in the skill level, sense of responsibility, and quality of adhesive mortar among the workers, it is easy for tiles to fall off, surface contamination, and other defects to occur, and the tiles cannot be replaced or repaired.
[0003] Therefore, an embedded brick has emerged in related technologies. Before using the embedded brick, a back plate structure is first fixed on the wall. The back plate structure mainly includes an upper flange, a waist plate, and a lower flange connected in sequence. The upper flange and the lower flange are located at both ends of the waist plate and extend in one direction. In this way, the upper flange, the waist plate, and the lower flange together form a locking groove. The waist plate is fixed to the wall or the wall joists by bolts or other locking devices. The embedded brick part is embedded in the locking groove. In this way, the embedded brick can be fixed without or with only a small amount of adhesive mortar.
[0004] However, the applicant discovered that during the process of embedding the brick into the slot, the contact point between the brick and the upper flange was too close to the waist plate, which prevented the upper flange of the back plate from deforming properly. Consequently, during the process of embedding the brick into the slot, the slot did not have enough clearance space to allow the brick to enter. A large amount of pressure was required to get the brick into the slot, which required the installer to use a large amount of pushing force to embed it, thus increasing the risk of damage to the brick structure. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to propose an embedded brick that aims to reduce the difficulty of assembling embedded bricks.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the embedded brick includes a fixed upper rib and a brick body of one integral structure. The fixed upper rib is inclined towards the back plate structure from the outer peripheral surface facing away from it. The inclination direction of the outer side of the fixed upper rib forms an acute angle with the length direction of the brick body.
[0007] The fixed upper rib is configured to be embedded in the slot.
[0008] In one embodiment of this utility model, the end of the fixed upper rib away from the brick body has an outer rounded corner and an inner rounded corner, the radius of the outer rounded corner and the inner rounded corner of the upper rib being 0.5 to 5 mm.
[0009] In one embodiment of the present invention, the fixed upper rib facing the outer side of the back plate structure includes an abutting straight surface and an embedding inclined surface that are connected to each other. The embedding inclined surface is located at the upper part of the fixed upper rib, and the embedding inclined surface is inclined towards the outer peripheral surface of the fixed upper rib from the direction connecting the abutting straight surface to the direction away from the abutting straight surface.
[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, the total length of the abutting straight surface and the embedded inclined surface mapped onto the length direction of the brick is defined as L_total, and the length of the embedded inclined surface is L_inclined, where L_inclined is not less than one-third of L_total.
[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the inclination direction of the embedded inclined surface is at an acute angle to the length direction of the brick, and the inclination angle of the embedded inclined surface is greater than the inclination angle of the outer peripheral surface of the fixed upper rib.
[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the embedded brick further includes a fixing lower rib that is integral with the brick body, and the fixing lower rib is arranged in a straight surface facing the outer side of the back plate structure;
[0013] The fixed lower rib is configured to be embedded in the slot.
[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, the fixed upper rib and the fixed lower rib are located on the same side of the brick body.
[0015] In one embodiment of this utility model, the end of the fixed lower rib away from the brick body has an outer rounded corner and an inner rounded corner, and the radius of the outer rounded corner is smaller than the radius of the outer rounded corner.
[0016] In one embodiment of this utility model, the radii of the outer fillet and the inner fillet of the upper rib are 0.5 to 5 mm.
[0017] This utility model also proposes a cladding wall, including a back panel structure and the embedded bricks; the back panel structure has a locking groove, and the embedded bricks are locked in the locking groove; the back panel structure is configured to be fixed to the outer surface of the wall or fixed to a keel provided on the outer surface of the wall.
[0018] In the technical solution of this utility model, the embedded brick is embedded in the back plate structure. Because the fixed upper rib is inclined away from the outer peripheral surface of the back plate structure, the end of the fixed upper rib forms a corner away from the back plate structure. During the process of embedding the embedded brick, this corner will exert a lifting force away from the waist plate on the upper flange of the back plate structure, thereby generating a larger torque. This torque makes the deformation of the upper flange greater, thereby increasing the space of the slot and facilitating the embedding of the embedded brick. After the embedded brick is fully embedded, the increased deformation leads to greater pressure of the upper flange on the fixed upper rib, which helps to improve the stability of the embedded brick in the back plate structure and reduce the risk of falling off.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embedded brick 10 includes a fixed upper rib 11 and a brick body 12, which are integral structures. The outer peripheral surface of the fixed upper rib 11 facing away from the back plate structure 20 is inclined towards the back plate structure 20. The inclination direction of the outer side of the fixed upper rib 11 is at an acute angle to the length direction of the brick body 12.
[0030] The upper fixed rib 11 is configured to be embedded in the slot.
[0031] In the technical solution of this utility model, the embedded brick 10 is embedded in the back plate structure 20. Because the fixed upper rib 11 is inclined away from the back plate structure 20 on its outer peripheral surface, the end of the fixed upper rib 11 forms a corner away from the back plate structure 20. During the process of embedding the embedded brick 10, this corner will exert a lifting force away from the waist plate on the upper flange of the back plate structure 20, thereby forming a larger torque. This torque makes the deformation of the upper flange greater, thereby increasing the space of the slot and facilitating the embedding of the embedded brick 10. After the embedded brick 10 is fully embedded, the increased deformation leads to greater pressure of the upper flange on the fixed upper rib 11, which helps to improve the stability of the embedded brick 10 in the back plate structure 20 and reduce the risk of falling off.
[0032] The embedded brick 10 is formed into an integral structure through processes such as grouting, batching, pressing, trimming, and sintering. It includes a fixed upper rib 11 and a brick body 12. The fixed upper rib 11 is located at the upper end of the brick body 12 and is situated inside the brick body 12. When the embedded brick 10 is inserted into the slot of the back plate structure 20, the inner surface of the fixed upper rib 11 and the brick body 12 can fit against the wall of the slot. At the same time, the upper flange of the back plate structure 20 applies an inclined force towards the waist plate to the fixed upper rib 11 to ensure that the embedded brick 10 is stably embedded. The brick 10 is inserted into the back plate structure 20. Specifically, the outer peripheral surface of the fixed upper rib 11 facing away from the back plate structure 20 is inclined towards the back plate structure 20. The inclined direction of the outer side of the fixed upper rib 11 is at an acute angle to the length direction of the brick 12. This increases the lever arm, making it easier for the upper flange to deform upward, thereby increasing the space of the slot and facilitating the insertion of the brick 10. At the same time, the increased lever arm makes it easier for the installer to apply less force to insert the brick 10, reducing the assembly difficulty of the brick 10.
[0033] Specifically, the end of the fixed upper rib 11 away from the brick body 12 has an outer rounded corner 11a and an inner rounded corner 11b. By designing the rounded corner structure, stress concentration at the end of the fixed upper rib 11 can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the back fixed upper rib 11 during and after insertion. At the same time, the rounded corner design makes it easier for the inserted brick 10 to be inserted into the slot, reducing the resistance that may be caused by sharp edges. Furthermore, the radius of the outer rounded corner 11a and the inner rounded corner 11b of the upper rib is 0.5 to 5 mm. In this way, by designing a reasonable rounded corner radius, the function of the rounded corner is ensured without reducing the structural strength of the fixed upper rib 11.
[0034] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the fixed upper rib 11 facing the back plate structure 20 includes an abutting straight surface 111 and an embedding inclined surface 112 connected to each other. The embedding inclined surface 112 is located at the upper part of the fixed upper rib 11. The embedding inclined surface 112 is inclined towards the outer peripheral surface of the fixed upper rib 11 from the direction connected to the abutting straight surface 111 to the direction away from the abutting straight surface 111. At the beginning of embedding, the entire embedded brick 10 is tilted so that the embedding inclined surface 112 abuts against the groove wall of the positioning groove. Then the brick body 12 is pressed down. During the pressing process, on the one hand, the outer rounded corner 11a of the upper rib lifts the upper flange of the back plate structure 20 to expand the positioning groove. On the other hand, the abutting straight surface 111 begins to abut against the groove wall of the positioning groove as the tilt angle decreases. When fully embedded, the upper flange of the back plate structure 20 applies a certain compressive force to the fixed upper rib 11, and the abutting straight surface 111 presses against the groove wall of the positioning groove, thereby improving the stability of the embedded brick 10 in the positioning groove.
[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, please refer to Figure 3 Let L be the total length of the abutting straight surface 111 and the embedded inclined surface 112 mapped onto the length direction of the brick body 12. 总The length of the embedded inclined plane 112 is L 斜 L 斜 Not less than L 总 One-third, that is, the length of the embedded inclined surface 112 is not less than one-third of the total height of the fixed upper rib 11, preferably, L 斜 For L 总 One-third of the area is used to ensure that there is enough contact area between the embedded brick 10 and the groove wall of the slot when the embedded brick 10 is installed, so that the embedded brick 10 in the tilted position will not slip.
[0036] Furthermore, the inclination direction of the embedded inclined surface 112 forms an acute angle with the length direction of the brick body 12, and the inclination angle of the embedded inclined surface 112 is greater than the inclination angle of the outer peripheral surface of the fixed upper rib 11. Thus, without changing the total projected length of the fixed upper rib 11 in the length direction of the brick body 12, the larger the inclination angle of the embedded inclined surface 112, the longer the length of the embedded inclined surface 112. This allows for a larger deformation of the upper flange during embedded installation, facilitating the installation of the embedded brick 10 and increasing the force exerted by the upper flange on the fixed upper rib 11.
[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, the embedded brick 10 further includes a fixing lower rib 13 that is integral with the brick body 12. The fixing lower rib 13 is arranged in a straight line facing the outer side of the back plate structure 20. The fixing lower rib 13 is configured to be embedded in the locking groove. In this way, the fixing lower rib 13 can provide additional support points for the embedded brick 10. When the embedded brick 10 is installed in place, the fixing lower rib 13 is in close contact with the groove wall of the locking groove, which helps to improve the stability of the entire brick body 12 in the back plate structure 20. At the same time, the fixing lower rib 13 and the fixing upper rib 11 work together to make the pressure distribution on the embedded brick 10 more uniform and avoid structural damage.
[0038] Furthermore, the upper fixing rib 11 and the lower fixing rib 13 are located on the same side of the brick body 12. Thus, during the installation process, only one side of the brick body 12 needs to be operated, which simplifies the installation steps and improves the installation efficiency. The upper fixing rib 11 and the lower fixing rib 13 located on the same side can work together to provide better support and fixation, and enhance the stability of the embedded brick 10 in the back plate structure 20.
[0039] In one embodiment, the end of the fixed lower rib 13 away from the brick body 12 has an outer rounded corner 13a and an inner rounded corner 13b. The radius of the outer rounded corner 13a is smaller than the radius of the inner rounded corner 13b. Thus, the larger inner rounded corner 13b can ensure that the embedded brick 10 can be smoothly inserted into the slot during installation, and the smaller outer rounded corner 13a can ensure that the embedded brick 10 is not easily dislodged from the slot after being inserted into it.
[0040] Furthermore, the radii of the outer fillet 11a and the inner fillet 11b of the upper rib are 0.5 to 5 mm. In this way, by designing a reasonable fillet radius, the function of the fillet is ensured without reducing the structural strength of the fixed lower rib 13.
[0041] This utility model also proposes a cladding wall, including a back panel structure 20 and the embedded brick 10; the back panel structure 20 has a locking groove, and the embedded brick 10 is locked in the locking groove; the back panel structure 20 is configured to be fixed to the outer surface of the wall or to a keel provided on the outer surface of the wall. It can be understood that the back panel structure 20 can be fixed to the wall or the keel of the wall by bolts. The specific structure of the embedded brick 10 refers to the above embodiment. Since the cladding wall proposed by this utility model adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
[0042] The above are merely exemplary embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of this utility model and the contents of the specification and drawings of this utility model, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
