Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of building decoration materials technology, and in particular to a flat-joint snap-fit ​​connection device for bathroom ceramic tile panels. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, bathroom wall decoration commonly uses ceramic tiles or integrated panels. Among them, integrated ceramic tile panels are becoming increasingly popular due to fewer seams and better waterproofing. Traditional installation methods often use adhesive or metal keel fixing, but these methods have problems such as complex construction and difficult maintenance.

[0003] In recent years, modular ceramic tile systems have simplified the installation process through prefabrication, but there are still inconveniences in the connection between the tiles. Various plug-in connectors have been developed in the industry, but most of them require vertical assembly, which means that the entire tile needs to be lifted during installation, increasing the difficulty of construction and labor costs.

[0004] Therefore, existing connectors generally require the plate to be lifted vertically during installation, which is difficult to operate in space-constrained environments; most metal connectors are prone to corrosion and rust in humid environments; and disassembly is difficult during maintenance, often requiring destructive removal.

[0005] Therefore, this application proposes a flat-joint snap-fit ​​connection device for bathroom ceramic tile panels. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application proposes a flat-joint snap-fit ​​connection device for bathroom tile panels to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. When connecting the first and second wall panels, the first wall panel is first fixed to the wall with expanding foam. Then, the lower clip on the second wall panel is inserted into the mounting groove at the top of the first wall panel. Finally, the second wall panel is pushed horizontally to make the lower clip engage with the mounting groove. During installation, the inclined guide structure of the lower clip first contacts the mounting groove and generates elastic deformation. When the clip is fully engaged with the mounting groove, the elastic arm returns to its original shape to form a mechanical interlock. During disassembly, the locking can be released by pressing the clip release protrusion with a special pry bar. This improves installation efficiency, allowing a single person to complete the installation of standard bathroom wall panels. During maintenance, individual wall panels can be disassembled to minimize secondary renovation costs. It eliminates the vertical lifting action during tile panel installation, achieving purely horizontal insertion installation, improving the corrosion resistance of the connectors in humid environments, and enabling detachable connection without auxiliary tools, greatly enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

Both precast ceramic tile panels are installed inside the frame frame, and the frame frame covers the four sides of the precast ceramic tile panels to form an integral structure.

[0010] By setting up wall panel components, installation efficiency is improved, and a single person can complete the installation of standard bathroom wall panels. During maintenance, individual wall panels can be disassembled separately, minimizing secondary renovation costs and eliminating the vertical lifting action required when installing tile panels, thereby enhancing the practicality of the device.

After the buckle is fully inserted into the mounting groove, the elastic arm returns to its original shape to form a mechanical interlock. During disassembly, the lock can be released by pressing the claw with a special pry bar to release the protrusion, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the first wall panel has two mounting slots inside, and the first wall panel is engaged with the top of the first wall panel by a lower locking claw inside the mounting slot;

[0014] When connecting the first and second wall panels, first fix the first wall panel to the wall with expanding foam, then insert the lower claw on the second wall panel into the mounting groove at the top of the first wall panel, and finally push the second wall panel horizontally to make the lower claw engage with the mounting groove, thus achieving a purely horizontal insertion installation, improving the corrosion resistance of the connector in humid environments, and enabling detachable connection without auxiliary tools, thereby enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the load-bearing mechanism includes a horizontal connecting rod, and a horizontal connecting rod is provided in both mounting slots of the first wall panel;

[0016] By setting up a load-bearing mechanism, the horizontal connecting rod is placed in the mounting grooves at the top and bottom of the first wall panel. The horizontal connecting rod bears the main shear force, and the interference fit between the claw and the wall panel frame prevents vertical displacement, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the sealing mechanism includes sealing strips, with two sealing strips respectively provided at the top and bottom of the first wall panel, located on both sides of the upper and lower jaws;

[0018] By setting up a sealing mechanism, the sealing strip is located between the first and second wall panels, which can prevent bathroom moisture from seeping into the interior of the wall panels, thereby avoiding dampness and mold growth inside the wall panels and improving the practicality of the device.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0020] 1. This bathroom tile panel flat-joint snap-fit ​​connection device, when connecting the first wall panel and the second wall panel, firstly fixes the first wall panel to the wall with expanding foam, then inserts the lower clip on the second wall panel into the installation groove at the top of the first wall panel, and finally pushes the second wall panel horizontally to make the lower clip engage with the installation groove.

During maintenance, individual wall panels can be disassembled to minimize the cost of secondary decoration and eliminate the vertical lifting action during the installation of ceramic tile panels, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-4 The latch assembly 2 includes an upper latch 21, a lower latch 22, and a mounting groove 23. The upper latch 21 is located at the top of the second wall panel 12, and the lower latch 22 is located at the bottom of the second wall panel 12. The lower latch 22 is guided by a sloping guide structure to first contact the mounting groove 23 and generate elastic deformation.

When disassembling, the latch can be released by pressing the release protrusion with a special pry bar, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-4 The first wall panel 11 has two mounting slots 23 inside, and the first wall panel 11 is engaged with the top of the first wall panel 11 by the lower claw 22 inside the mounting slot 23.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-4The load-bearing mechanism 3 includes a horizontal connecting rod 31, and the horizontal connecting rod 31 is provided in both mounting slots 23 of the first wall panel 11. By setting the load-bearing mechanism 3, the horizontal connecting rod 31 is set in the mounting slots 23 at the top and bottom of the first wall panel 11. The horizontal connecting rod 31 bears the main shear force, and the interference fit between the claw and the wall panel frame prevents vertical displacement, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0033] Reference Figure 1-4 The sealing mechanism 4 includes sealing strips 41.

Finally, push the second wall panel 12 horizontally to make the lower claw 22 engage with the mounting groove 23. During installation, the inclined guide structure of the lower claw 22 first contacts the mounting groove 23 and generates elastic deformation. When the clip is fully engaged in the mounting groove 23, the elastic arm returns to its original shape, forming a mechanical interlock. During disassembly, the lock can be released by pressing the claw release protrusion with a special pry bar. By setting the load-bearing mechanism 3, the horizontal connecting rod 31 is set in the mounting grooves at the top and bottom of the first wall panel 11.
