Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of decorative panel technology, specifically to a connecting component for a panel and a keel. Background Technology

[0002] Decorative panels have been widely used over the years. Metal panels, due to their excellent material properties such as fire resistance, moisture resistance, mildew resistance, and recyclability, are increasingly favored by owners and designers. They are particularly prevalent in large public buildings, stadiums, hospitals, schools, train stations, subways, airports, and other places with high population density, high fire safety requirements, and high aesthetic demands.

[0003] In the field of architectural decoration, decorative panels are widely used on walls, ceilings, and other surfaces to enhance the aesthetics and texture of a space. Adjusting the panel gaps is a crucial technical step during the actual installation process.

[0004] Decorative panels come in a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, metal, and stone. All of these materials exhibit the physical property of thermal expansion and contraction. For example, wooden decorative panels are significantly affected by temperature and humidity. When the ambient temperature rises or humidity increases, the fibers in the wood absorb moisture and expand; conversely, they shrink. If appropriate gaps are not left during installation, the panels will be squeezed or pulled together during thermal expansion and contraction, leading to warping, deformation, cracking, and other problems. In severe cases, it can even damage the panel's connecting structure, affecting the stability and durability of the overall decorative effect.

[0005] From a decorative and aesthetic perspective, uniform and appropriate panel gaps ensure the overall flatness and visual effect of the decorative surface. If the gaps are of varying widths, it will disrupt the regularity of the decorative surface, making the walls or ceiling appear uneven and reducing the quality of the decoration.

[0006] Therefore, this utility model proposes a connecting component that can precisely control the gaps between panels. Utility Model Content

[0038] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, illustrates the present invention. Numerous specific details are set forth in the description below to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0039] The connecting component for panels and keels provided in this application can be used in situations such as installing panels and keels, and of course it can also be used in other similar application scenarios. The following is a detailed description of a connecting component for panels and keels.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] See appendix Figure 1 — Figure 4 The diagram shows a preferred embodiment of a connecting assembly for a panel and a keel according to this application. This connecting assembly includes a panel connector 1 mounted on the back of the panel, a keel connector 2 mounted on the keel, and a connecting structure 3 disposed on the panel connector 1 and the keel connector 2. This invention uses the connecting structure 3 to allow the panel connector 2 and the keel connector 1 to slide together, enabling the panel to slide relative to the keel via the connecting structure 3. This allows adjustment of the direction of movement of the connecting structure 3, thereby adjusting the spacing between adjacent panels, reducing the accumulation of errors, and improving the overall aesthetics of the panel. It should be particularly noted that in this application, the height of the keel connector 2 can be adjusted to move the panel along the keel, thereby adjusting the spacing between adjacent panels in the vertical direction. This allows for adjustment in both the horizontal and vertical directions of the panel.

[0042] See appendix Figure 4As shown, in this utility model, the panel connector 1 includes a mounting base plate 11 mounted on the back of the panel, mounting holes 12 provided on the mounting base plate 11, and a mounting component 13 installed in the mounting holes 12. The mounting base plate 11 provides a mounting foundation for the connecting structure 3; the mounting holes 12 provide a foundation for the mounting component 13. It should be noted that the mounting holes 12 are countersunk holes, allowing the mounting component 13 to be concealed, preventing interference with the connecting structure 3, and ensuring that the panel connector 1 and the keel connector 2 can slide. The mounting component 13 connects the panel to the mounting base plate 11. It should be noted that the mounting component 13 can be a bolt.

[0043] See appendix Figure 2 As shown, in this utility model, the keel connector 2 includes a connecting base plate 21 and a snap-fit ​​connector 22 installed on the connecting base plate 21 and connected to the keel. The number of snap-fit ​​connectors 22 is one.

[0044] This utility model provides an installation base for the snap-fit ​​connector 22 and the connection structure 3 by setting the base plate 21; the snap-fit ​​connector 22 can be installed on the keel.

[0045] See appendix Figure 2 As shown, in this utility model, the snap-fit ​​connector 22 includes two snap-fit ​​plates 221 mounted on the mounting base plate 11, and a snap-fit ​​groove 222 formed between the two snap-fit ​​plates 21; a limiting part 223 is provided on the end of the snap-fit ​​plate 221 away from the connecting base plate 21, and a chamfer is provided on the side of the limiting part 223 away from the mounting base plate 11; the snap-fit ​​plate 221 is arc-shaped, and the spacing of the limiting parts 223 on the same snap-fit ​​connector 22 is less than the groove width at any point in the snap-fit ​​groove 222. This invention utilizes a limiting part 223 to position the keel, allowing it to engage with the locking groove 222 and preventing separation. This ensures a secure connection between the keel and the keel connector 2. Furthermore, the limiting part 223 is positioned at the opening of the locking groove 23, effectively preventing the keel from arbitrarily separating from it. The chamfered design guides the engagement between the keel and the locking groove 23, facilitating the installation of the keel and keel connector 2. It should be noted that the locking plate 221 is made of metal. Since the spring-loaded locking plate 221 exhibits elastic deformation, its arc shape enhances its elastic deformation capability and improves its elasticity.

[0046] See appendix Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this utility model, the connecting structure 3 includes a connecting groove 31 disposed on the side wall of the first clearance groove, and a first connecting slider 32 disposed on the side of the connecting base plate 21 corresponding to the connecting groove 31.

[0047] This utility model, through the setting of the first connecting groove 31 and the first connecting slider 32, allows the first connecting slider 32 to move within the first connecting groove 31, moving along the slotting direction of the first connecting groove 31, and also guides the movement of the first connecting slider 32.

[0048] See appendix Figure 1 — Figure 4 As shown, the usage process of this utility model is as follows:

[0049] First, install the keel connector 2 on the keel and install the panel connector 1 on the back of the panel. Specifically, the keel connector 2 is installed on the keel by snapping through the snap-fit ​​groove 222 and the limiting part 223 on the keel connector 2, and the mounting base plate 11 is installed on the back of the panel by the mounting part 13. It should be noted that two rows of keel connectors 2 are installed on each keel, the number of keel connectors 2 in each row is the same, and the number of keel connectors 2 in each row corresponds to the number of panels.

[0050] Second, adjust the keel connectors 2 on the two columns of keels so that the keel connectors 2 on the two columns correspond to each other and are parallel, in order to prepare for the connection and cooperation of the panel connectors 1 and the keel connectors 2.

[0051] Third, align the first connecting groove 31 on the panel connector 1 with the connecting slider on the keel connector 2 and insert it so that the panel connector 1 and the keel connector 2 are slidably connected, that is, the panel is slidably installed on the keel.

[0052] The fourth step is to move the panel along the first connecting groove 31 by driving the panel, thereby adjusting the spacing between adjacent panels.

[0053] It should be noted that after the gap adjustment is completed, the gap between adjacent panels is sealed and limited by a rubber sealing strip.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] See appendix Figure 5 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that, in this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​connector 22 includes a mounting plate 224 that is bolted to the base plate 11, and the snap-fit ​​connector 22 is mounted on the mounting plate 224; the snap-fit ​​connector 22 and the mounting plate 224 are made of plastic.

[0056] In this embodiment, by changing the material of the connector 22 to plastic materials such as nylon and polyethylene, it can effectively prevent the keel connector 2 from making hard contact friction with the keel, and can effectively reduce noise and wear.

[0057] Example 3

[0058] See appendix Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that no fewer than two mounting plates 224 are installed on a connecting base plate 21.

[0059] In this embodiment, by setting an mounting plate 224 on the same connecting base plate 21, that is, setting multiple snap-fit ​​connectors 22, the two rows of snap-fit ​​connectors 22 can move synchronously without the need for frequent adjustments, thus reducing labor intensity.

[0060] Example 4

[0061] See appendix Figure 8 — Figure 10 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that in this embodiment, the connecting groove 31 is disposed on the connecting base plate 21, and the connecting slider 32 is disposed on the mounting base plate 11.

[0062] Example 5

[0063] See appendix Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that, in this embodiment, a friction structure 35 is provided on the groove wall of the connecting groove 31. The friction structure 35 can be a friction rubber strip 351 or a friction pattern 352.

[0064] This embodiment increases the friction between the connecting groove 31 and the connecting slider 32 by adding a friction structure 35, thereby preventing the panel from moving arbitrarily in the horizontal direction during subsequent installation or use.

[0065] The above embodiments are illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any simple modifications to this application are within the protection scope of this application.
