Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a load-bearing and fixing structure for ceramic tiles that combines horizontal and vertical fixation. Specifically, it relates to a structure that allows ceramic tiles to be embedded and abutted, thereby fixing them in both horizontal and vertical directions. Background Technology

[0002] It is understood that ceramic tiles can be broadly classified into three categories based on their material: earthenware, stone, and porcelain. The installation process typically involves first applying an adhesive or cement mortar to the floor or wall of a building, then pressing the tile into the mortar and adjusting the gaps and flatness between the tiles. The installation is complete once the adhesive or mortar has hardened. However, tiles on building walls are easily detached from the wall due to prolonged exposure to sun and rain, and the influence of gravity. Therefore, some manufacturers use hardware to secure the tiles with locking mechanisms to prevent them from falling off.

[0003] However, this locking method involves first securing the hardware to the wall and then fitting the tiles onto the hardware. This requires the experience of the installer to maintain the gaps and flatness between the tiles. Furthermore, the fit between the tile and the hardware is only fixed in one direction. That is, when the tile is fitted vertically, it only holds the tile horizontally and may still fall off due to gravity. When the tile is fitted horizontally, it only holds the tile vertically and may shift if it is pushed or bumped laterally.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a structure or device that can fix tiles in both horizontal and vertical directions is the direction that the creator of this utility model is eager to research and improve.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies, the creator of this utility model collected relevant information, conducted multiple evaluations and considerations, and, based on years of experience accumulated in this industry, designed this utility model patent through continuous trial and modification. Utility Model Content

[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide a load-bearing and fixing structure for ceramic tiles that provides both horizontal and vertical fixation. The structure comprises at least one base plate, two support plates, and two interlocking pieces. The base plate has at least one through hole and can be locked to a wall surface, or locked to the wall surface via at least one connecting plate. The two support plates extend and bend from both sides of the base plate, are parallel to the base plate, and each support plate has a top abutment at one end. The two interlocking pieces are symmetrical to each other, each interlocking piece is disposed on one of the support plates and inclined at an angle, allowing the ceramic tile to rest against the surface of the support plates and be embedded into the interlocking pieces accordingly. One outer edge of the ceramic tile rests against the top abutment of the support plate, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the ceramic tile horizontally and vertically and assisting in load-bearing.

[0007] To achieve the above objective, the two interlocking pieces are inclined outward or inward relative to the two sides of the substrate, and the inclination angle of the interlocking pieces can be set between 15 and 75 degrees to ensure that the interlocking pieces can hold and fix the tile after it is inserted.

[0029] To achieve the above or other objectives and effects, the technical means and structure adopted by this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the preferred embodiment of this utility model, so as to facilitate a complete understanding.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 11 The figures show a structural diagram and a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in these figures, the present invention mainly provides a tile load-bearing fixing structure that combines horizontal and vertical fixing. This tile load-bearing fixing structure 1 includes at least:

[0031] A substrate 10 having at least one through-hole 11;

[0032] Two support plates 20 are formed by bending and extending from both sides of the substrate 10, and the two support plates 20 are parallel to the substrate 10. Each of the two support plates 20 has a top abutment portion 21 at one end.

[0033] Two interlocking pieces 30 are symmetrical to each other, and each interlocking piece 30 is respectively disposed on each support plate 20 and is inclined at an angle;

[0034] The interlocking piece 30 is inclined outward or inward relative to both sides of the substrate 10;

[0035] The inclination angle of the interlocking piece 30 is between 15 and 75 degrees;

[0036] The inclination angle of the interlocking piece 30 is 45 degrees;

[0037] The through hole 11 is either an oblong hole or a round hole;

[0038] Each of the interlocking pieces 30 is formed by extending and bending from the middle of each of the support plates 20;

[0039] The top abutment 21 is formed by extending and bending at one end of each support plate 20;

[0040] The substrate 10, the support plate 20, and the fitting piece 30 are integrally formed;

[0041] It further includes at least one L-shaped connecting plate 40, one end of which can be locked to a wall W, and the other end of which can be connected to the base plate 10.

[0042] The other end of the L-shaped connecting plate 40 is locked to the substrate 10 or welded to the substrate 10.

[0043] In use, the ceramic tile load-bearing fixing structure 1 of this utility model mainly utilizes the through holes 11 of the base plate 10 to lock the base plate 10 onto a building wall W (e.g., Figure 2 As shown), or first locked to a connecting plate and then secured to the wall W via the connecting plate, and preferably, the through hole 11 can be an oblong hole or a round hole, and a groove corresponding to the fitting piece 30 is carved on one side of the tile T to be laid (not shown in the figure), so that the inner side of the tile T is attached to the support plate 20, and the groove of the tile T is correspondingly embedded into the fitting piece 30, so that the fitting piece 30 holds and fixes the tile T (as shown). Figure 2 and 4 As shown), to prevent the tile T from moving in a first direction, and after being inserted, the side of the tile T abuts against the top abutment portion 21 of the support plate 20 (as shown). Figure 3 As shown), this method prevents the tile T from moving relative to it in a second direction, thereby fixing the tile T in place. Unlike conventional methods, this method does not rely on the experience of the installer, and can maintain the gap and flatness of the tiles, reducing the difficulty of installation and achieving the purpose of fixing in both horizontal and vertical directions and assisting in load-bearing.

[0044] As described above, more specifically, when the tile T is fitted and embedded into the fitting pieces 30 in a relatively downward or upward manner, the fitting pieces 30 fasten and fix the tile T in the first direction (horizontal direction), and the bottom side edge of the tile T abuts against the top abutment 21 in the second direction (vertical direction), thereby fixing the tile T in both the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0045] When the tile T is fitted into the fitting pieces 30 in a relatively leftward or rightward direction, the fitting pieces 30 hold and fix the tile T in the first direction (vertical direction), and the bottom side edge of the tile T abuts against the top abutment 21 in the second direction (horizontal direction), thus fixing the tile T in both the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the mating piece 30 is inclined outward relative to both sides of the substrate 10 (e.g., Figure 1 As shown in the figure, or tilted inwards (not shown), the tilt angle of the mating piece 30 can be set between 15 and 75 degrees, and in the preferred embodiment, the tilt angle of the mating piece 30 is set to 45 degrees (e.g., as shown in the figure). Figure 4 (As shown), so that the interlocking pieces can reliably hold and fix the tile T onto the support plate 20.

[0047] Furthermore, each fitting piece 30 is formed by extending and bending from the middle of each support plate 20, and the top abutment 21 is formed by extending and bending from one end of each support plate 20. In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the base plate 10, support plate 20, and fitting piece 30 of the ceramic tile load-bearing fixing structure 1 are more integrally formed (e.g., Figure 1 (As shown).

[0048] Furthermore, during installation, the number of tile load-bearing fixing structures 1 can be adjusted according to the site conditions. For example, when the area of ​​the tile T to be laid is large, multiple tile load-bearing fixing structures 1 can be installed. Preferably, these multiple tile load-bearing fixing structures 1 can be installed on one side of the tile T (e.g., Figure 5 As shown), or separately located on two opposite sides of the tile T (such as...). Figure 6 As shown), or distributed on each side of the tile T (such as...). Figure 7 As shown), or distributed on the sides of each corner of the tile T (such as...). Figure 8 (As shown).

[0049] Furthermore, in the preferred embodiment of this utility model, the utility model may further include at least one L-shaped connecting plate 40, one end of which can be correspondingly locked to a wall surface W (e.g., Figure 9 As shown), the other end of the L-shaped connecting plate 40 can be connected to the substrate 10, and preferably, the other end of the L-shaped connecting plate 40 is locked to the substrate 10 (as shown). Figure 10 As shown), the other end of the L-shaped connecting plate 40 can also be soldered to the substrate 10 (as shown). Figure 11 As shown), the other end of the L-shaped connecting plate 40 can be connected to the substrate 10 by various adhesives and / or fillers, and a plurality of L-shaped connecting plates 40 can be used to lock and connect these L-shaped connecting plates 40 together (e.g., Figure 10As shown), when the tile T is embedded and laid, the distance between the tile T and the wall W can be selectively adjusted to increase. This distance serves as an air gap to prevent sunlight from directly shining on the wall W of the building, thereby achieving good heat insulation. However, in addition to using the L-shaped connecting plate 40, other connecting plate structures that can achieve the same effect can also be selected in this utility model, as described here.

[0050] In summary, compared to the shortcomings and problems of conventional tile laying and fixing methods, the tile load-bearing fixing structure 1 of this utility model, through the special combination design of the base plate 10, two support plates 20 and two interlocking pieces 30, utilizes the interlocking pieces 30 for the tile T to be embedded and laid. When the tile T is embedded, the interlocking pieces 30 hold and fix the tile T in the first direction, and the top abutment 21 abuts against the tile T in the second direction, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the tile T in both the horizontal and vertical directions. This utility model can also be combined and connected with at least one L-shaped connecting plate 40, thereby adjusting the distance between the tile T and the wall surface W, and thus achieving the effects of heat insulation, etc.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any simple modifications and equivalent structural changes made based on the description and drawings of the present utility model should also be included in the patent scope of the present utility model and are hereby stated.
