Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wall panel connection structure technology, specifically a locking wall panel and its installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] Interlocking wall panels are wall panels that achieve a connection effect through a connecting structure, and can be fixed to the wall with auxiliary positioning parts.

[0003] Figure 1 This is a wall panel connection structure encountered by businesses. The wall panels are 4-5mm thick. Adhesive is applied to the interior wall surface, and then metal clips are used for positioning before the panels are inserted for installation. However, in actual installation, there are several problems, including insufficient contact area at the joints, unevenness in the assembled panels, and the right-angled edges making them prone to damage from impacts. It also presents challenges for storage.

[0004] For example, the existing technology CN201921824831.5 wood-plastic seamless buckle panel is provided with a first plate and a second plate arranged in parallel with each other. The outer surface of the first plate has a number of anti-slip grooves arranged at equal intervals, and the end is provided with a buckle in the shape of a boss. The first plate and the second plate extend outward from one end relative to the buckle to form a connecting groove suitable for the buckle, which is used to solve the problem of loose connection between adjacent buckle panels.

[0005] Existing technology uses a tight snap-fit ​​method, with fasteners at the corners and small-diameter structures that are easily bent. Furthermore, it is prone to bending and breakage when exposed to moisture.

[0006] For example, in the prior art CN202421023328.0, a quick-assembly solid wood wall panel is installed using a first protruding buckle. However, it has the problem of not being able to be disassembled. If an installation error occurs, the first protruding buckle and the first plug cannot be pulled out simultaneously due to the pull-out direction, making it impossible to disassemble and reinstall.

[0007] To address these issues, we provide a snap-on wall panel and its installation structure. Utility Model Content

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a locking wall panel, comprising:

[0009] The substrate is horizontally arranged vertically, and has a protruding part and a concave part on each side.

[0010] The protruding part has a downwardly inclined surface at 55° at its bottom.

[0011] The recess has an inclined surface two inside, which is parallel to the inclined surface one.

[0012] Lower bonding surface one is located at the bottom of inclined surface one and is set horizontally;

[0013] The second lower bonding surface is located at the bottom of the second inclined surface and is set horizontally; a beveled surface is provided at the end of the lower bonding surface away from the second inclined surface, and the beveled surface makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal.

[0014] In a further technical solution, a connecting surface is provided on both sides of the substrate, and a notch is provided between the connecting surface on one side and the protruding part; a beveled surface facing the notch is provided on the lower side of the connecting surface on the other side.

[0015] The tops of both the protruding portion and the recessed portion are horizontal, with the horizontal length of the top of the protruding portion being less than the horizontal length of the top of the recessed portion.

[0016] In a further technical solution, a connecting surface two is provided on the side of the lower bonding surface one that is opposite to the protruding part. The height of the protruding part to the top of the substrate is a, the height of the protruding part is b, and the height of the connecting surface two is c; wherein, a:b:c=8:9:13.

[0017] In a further technical solution, the second connecting surface and the first lower bonding surface are at a 90° angle, and the bottom edges of the substrate are chamfered on both sides.

[0018] In a further technical solution, the height of the base is 6mm, the height of the protrusion is 1.8mm, and the height of the recess is the same as the height of the protrusion; the maximum horizontal distance between the second connecting surface and the outer side of the protrusion is 7.44mm.

[0019] The bottom of the beveled surface is provided with a connecting surface three, and the bottom of the connecting surface three is chamfered with the bottom edge of the base; the maximum horizontal distance between the connecting surface three and the inner side of the notch is 7.95mm.

[0020] An installation structure for a snap-lock wall panel includes adjacent snap-lock wall panels, wherein the protrusions of one set of snap-lock wall panels are inserted into the recesses of another set, and the corresponding top connecting surfaces are abutted together.

[0021] The lower mating surface of one set of interlocking wall panels is attached to the lower mating surface of another set of interlocking wall panels;

[0022] Between the connected protruding and recessed portions, inclined surface one and inclined surface two are not in contact; a non-contact gap is provided between the adjacent connecting surface two and connecting surface three.

[0023] In a further technical solution, multiple sets of interlocking wall panels are continuously installed, and edge-sealing fasteners are installed at the extreme positions on both sides. The edge-sealing fasteners are installed at the right angles of the wall.

[0024] The edge-sealing fastener includes a right-angled surface, a snap-fit ​​protrusion, and a positioning groove. The distance between the snap-fit ​​protrusion and the bend of the right-angled surface is m, and the distance between the positioning groove and the bend of the right-angled surface is n, where m>n.

[0025] The snap-fit ​​protrusion engages with the corresponding recess of the locking wall panel; the position slot engages with the corresponding extension protrusion of the locking wall panel.

[0026] It also includes position surface one and position surface two. Position surface one is located on the same side of the snap-fit ​​protrusion and abuts against the connecting surface three of the locking wall panel. Position surface two is a right-angled surface, located on the same side of the position groove and abuts against the connecting surface two of the locking wall panel.

[0027] In a further technical solution, an ascending column and a lower slot are also included, with the ascending column located at the top and the lower slot located at the bottom, and the ascending column and the lower slot being adapted to each other.

[0028] Compared with existing technologies, it has the following advantages:

[0029] This utility model uses beveled surfaces to reduce the risk of impact damage to right-angled edges. In addition, the connection is a smooth connection method. The entire wall panel is installed by lateral sliding snap-fit, thus achieving a convenient connection effect.

[0030] Adjacent interlocking wall panels are installed with a snap-fit ​​connection, but not completely tightly. For example, the protruding part and the recessed part do not completely abut, leaving gaps at the connection. This installation method allows for easy removal and reinstallation should an error occur. It also effectively reduces the likelihood of significant bending caused by friction and stress expansion.

[0031] This utility model achieves fixed installation at right angles of the wall by setting edge-sealing fasteners. The protruding part engages with the recessed part of the corresponding locking wall panel; the groove engages with the extended protrusion of the corresponding locking wall panel, achieving effective connection. This ensures a tight fit at the wall corner, providing a baseline for subsequent layering of locking wall panels and ensuring a tight fit at multiple connection surfaces. Attached Figure Description

[0046] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0047] Figure 1This is a snap-fit ​​wall panel connection structure that exists in the existing technology. The dimensions marked are the actual dimensions. The wall panel is 4-5mm thick. During installation, the wall surface needs to be glued and then the wall panel is fixed with metal clips. However, there are unreasonable design points A and B at the bottom. Point A is a relatively narrow contact surface, which is prone to installation wear. Point B is a right angle, which is prone to being bumped and damaged, resulting in edge and corner damage. The unevenness of the assembly may cause the overall wall surface to tilt.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] Please see Figure 2-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a locking wall panel, including a base 1; the base 1 is horizontally arranged vertically, and has a protruding part 2 and a concave part 3 on both sides respectively;

[0050] The protrusion 2 has a downwardly inclined surface 6 at 55° at its bottom.

[0051] The recess 3 has an inclined surface 7 inside it, which is parallel to the inclined surface 6.

[0052] The lower bonding surface 4 is located at the bottom of the inclined surface 6 and is set horizontally.

[0053] The lower bonding surface 2 5 is located at the bottom of the inclined surface 2 7 and is set horizontally; a beveled surface 8 is provided at the end of the lower bonding surface 2 5 away from the inclined surface 2 7, and the beveled surface 8 makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal.

[0054] Firstly, both the first and second lower bonding surfaces are horizontal, allowing for a large contact area and ensuring connection strength. Secondly, the beveled edges prevent damage to corners caused by impacts, facilitating convenient storage.

[0055] Secondly, unlike the tight connection method in the existing technology, a gap is reserved in the installation method to prevent the problem of difficulty in disassembly after installation error. A connecting surface 10 is also provided on both sides of the base 1. A notch is provided between the connecting surface 10 on one side and the protrusion 2; an angled surface 11 facing the recess 3 is provided on the lower side of the connecting surface 10 on the other side.

[0056] Both the top of the protruding part 2 and the top of the recessed part 3 are horizontal, but the horizontal length of the top of the protruding part 2 is less than the horizontal length of the top of the recessed part 3. This length difference is designed to allow for a gap during installation; a tight fit would result in an overly tight connection, making removal impossible and hindering installation.

[0057] like Figure 3The lower bonding surface 4, facing away from the protruding part 2, has a connecting surface 12. The height of the protruding part 2 from the top of the base 1 is a, the height of the protruding part 2 is b, and the height of the connecting surface 12 is c; wherein a:b:c = 8:9:13. This ratio is set to determine the model and facilitate enterprise production and storage.

[0058] The second connecting surface 12 and the lower bonding surface 4 are at a 90° angle. The bottom edge of the base 1 has chamfered corners 13 on both sides. These chamfers help prevent damage from collisions, as existing flooring is manufactured and handled by equipment, making it difficult to guarantee that collisions will not occur. The actual installation of the interlocking wall panel can be a single piece or multiple pieces. For single-piece installation, the panels are laterally slid together, with the protruding and recessed parts interlocking, and then fixed to the wall with positioning screws.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, this is one embodiment of the present invention. Based on embodiment 1, standard dimensions are set. The height of the base 1 is 6mm, the height of the protrusion 2 is 1.8mm, and the height of the recess 3 is the same as the height of the protrusion 2. The horizontal distance limit from the connecting surface 12 to the outer side of the protrusion 2 is 7.44mm.

[0061] The bottom of the beveled surface 8 is provided with a connecting surface 3 14, and the bottom of the connecting surface 3 14 and the bottom edge of the base 1 are provided with a chamfer 13; the horizontal distance limit between the connecting surface 3 14 and the inner side of the notch 3 is 7.95mm.

[0062] Example 3

[0063] like Figure 6 As shown, this is one embodiment of the present utility model. Based on embodiment 1, an installation structure for a locking wall panel includes adjacent locking wall panels. The protruding part 2 of one set of locking wall panels is inserted into the recessed part 3 of another set, and the corresponding top connecting surface 10 is in contact with each other.

[0064] The lower mating surface 4 of one set of locking wall panels is mated to the lower mating surface 5 of another set of locking wall panels; the inclined surface 6 and the inclined surface 7 are not in contact between the connected protrusion 2 and the recess 3; a non-contact gap is provided between the adjacent connecting surface 12 and connecting surface 14.

[0065] Example 4

[0066] like Figure 7-10As shown, another embodiment of this utility model is provided. Multiple sets of locking wall panels are continuously arranged, and edge-sealing fasteners 9 are installed at the extreme positions on both sides. The edge-sealing fasteners 9 are installed at the right angles of the wall. The interior of a conventional room is composed of multiple overlapping rectangular blocks, and the common bends of the wall are right angles. Therefore, it is necessary to design the dimensions of the locking wall panels and edge-sealing fasteners in advance and select the appropriate size for installation.

[0067] At the right-angle position, install the edge banding fastener 9, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the edge banding fastener 9 includes a right-angled surface 91, a snap-fit ​​protrusion 92, and a positioning groove 93. The right-angled surface 91 is adapted to snap onto the right angle of the wall. The distance between the snap-fit ​​protrusion 92 and the bend of the right-angled surface 91 is m, and the distance between the positioning groove 93 and the bend of the right-angled surface 91 is n, where m > n. Figure 10 As shown in the figure, m and n are labeled using a tagging method.

[0068] Installation method as follows Figure 7 As shown, continuous interlocking wall panels are laid, with edge banding fasteners installed at right-angle positions. During actual installation, select appropriately sized edge banding fasteners and interlocking wall panels, laying the edge banding fasteners first, followed by the interlocking wall panels. In actual installation, positioning devices may be needed to position the entire wall panel. For example, positioning bolts can be driven into the wall for connection and can be installed on the edge banding fasteners. This involves drilling countersunk threaded holes in the edge banding fasteners for installation. The existing positioning installation method is sufficient here; the positioning bolt holes are not shown in the diagram.

[0069] The snap-fit ​​protrusion 92 snaps into the recess 3 of the corresponding locking wall panel; the position slot 93 snaps into the extension protrusion 2 of the corresponding locking wall panel.

[0070] The specific edge banding fasteners also include position surface 1 94 and position surface 2 95. Position surface 1 94 is located on the same side of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 92 and abuts against the connecting surface 3 14 of the locking wall panel. Position surface 2 95 is a right angle surface 91, located on the same side of the position groove 93 and abuts against the connecting surface 2 12 of the locking wall panel.

[0071] Example 5

[0072] like Figure 11 and 12 As shown, another embodiment of this utility model, based on embodiment 4, further includes an ascending column 96 and a lower slot 97. The ascending column 96 is located at the top, and the lower slot 97 is located at the bottom. The ascending column 96 and the lower slot 97 are adapted to each other. In actual installation, they are combined... Figure 7The installation method shown allows for the layering and fixing of the top and bottom edge-sealing fasteners at right-angle positions on the wall. The installation process involves first fixing one set of edge-sealing fasteners with the rising column facing upwards, then laying a layer of interlocking wall panels; then laying another set of edge-sealing fasteners, followed by another layer of interlocking wall panels. The top and bottom edge-sealing fasteners are engaged through the rising column and the lower groove to achieve the layered stacking effect. However, this embodiment of the wall panel is only suitable for multi-layer installations.

[0073] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
