Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of customized furniture technology, and in particular to a wall panel hanging structure. Background Technology

[0002] Wall panel hanging structure is a special connection component used in building decoration to fix wall panels to walls or structures. It abandons the traditional cement mortar wet-laying method and adopts a more reliable mechanical connection method, which not only ensures safety and stability, but also provides more flexibility and convenience.

[0003] In the existing technology, there are a variety of wall panel hanging structures, but some traditional and modern wall panel hanging structures generally have the problem of inconvenient installation, which reduces the efficiency and convenience of construction. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a wall panel hanging structure, which can improve the ease of installation of the wall panel hanging structure and at least partially solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to a first aspect of this application, a wall panel hanging structure is provided for connecting a wall surface and a wall panel, comprising:

[0006] A mounting bracket, comprising a mounting base, a mounting plate, and a guide portion, wherein the mounting base is connected to a first end of the mounting plate and configured to connect to a wall panel, and the guide portion is connected to a second end of the mounting plate and extends obliquely toward the side away from the wall panel.

[0007] A snap-fit ​​connector, comprising a load-bearing base, a snap-fit ​​piece, and a guide portion, wherein the load-bearing base is connected to a first end of the snap-fit ​​piece and is configured to be connected to a wall surface, and the guide portion is connected to a second end of the snap-fit ​​piece and extends obliquely toward the side away from the wall surface.

[0008] The snap-fit ​​piece forms a snap-fit ​​gap with the wall surface, and the hook can slide into the snap-fit ​​gap under the guidance of the guide part.

[0009] Optionally, the end of the guide portion away from the hanging piece is rounded; and / or, the end of the guide portion away from the snap-fit ​​piece is rounded.

[0010] Optionally, the snap-fit ​​piece includes a connecting portion and a stop portion. The connecting portion is connected to the top of the load-bearing base and extends obliquely toward the side away from the wall. The stop portion is vertically connected to the end of the connecting portion away from the load-bearing base, and the guide portion is obliquely connected to the top of the stop portion.

[0011] Wherein, a V-shaped groove is formed between the connecting part and the wall surface, which communicates with the snap-fit ​​gap; when the hanging part enters the snap-fit ​​gap, the guide part is embedded in the V-shaped groove.

[0012] The angle between the guide portion and the wall is smaller than the angle between the connecting portion and the wall.

[0013] Optionally, the two sides of the snap-fit ​​member form a first lateral opening with the wall surface, and the two sides of the hanger form a second lateral opening with the wall panel.

[0014] Optionally, the guide portion has a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface, the first inclined surface is opposite to the wall panel, the second inclined surface is opposite to the first inclined surface, and the angle between the extended surface of the first inclined surface and the wall panel is greater than the angle between the extended surface of the second inclined surface and the wall panel.

[0015] Optionally, both the mounting base and the load-bearing base are provided with multiple threaded holes.

[0016] Optionally, the snap-fit ​​component and the hook-fit component have the same shape and size.

[0017] Optionally, the mounting bracket is made of aluminum alloy; and / or, the snap-fit ​​bracket is made of aluminum alloy.

[0018] This application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This wall panel mounting structure employs a clever guiding design. The guide portion on the mounting bracket extends upwards at an angle, engaging with the beveled guide portion on the wall-mounted clip. During installation, the operator first tilts the top of the wall panel at a certain angle, causing the beveled surface of the guide portion to contact the beveled surface of the guide portion. The combination of these two bevels creates a clearly directional entry area, thus forming an effective guiding channel during the initial alignment stage. Because a V-shaped guiding cavity is formed between the guide portion and the wall surface, even if the wall panel is not perfectly aligned with the clip during initial placement, its beveled surface can still effectively "capture" the mounting bracket. Utilizing the guiding characteristics of the beveled surface, the mounting bracket is gradually adjusted and slid to the preset clipping position. This process significantly reduces the reliance on installation precision, allowing the wall panel to be successfully mounted even under non-ideal alignment conditions. This structure is particularly suitable for installation scenarios where construction workers lack experience or where the wall structure is complex. Its advantage lies in the fact that by increasing the mating area and reasonably setting the slope, the tolerance between components is effectively improved, making the connection between the snap-fit ​​parts and the hanger parts not only smoother, but also greatly simplifying the installation process and improving construction efficiency and ease of operation.

[0020] 2. In traditional wall panel installation, workers often struggle to apply force effectively behind the wall panel due to limited operating space. This not only increases installation difficulty but also affects the final wall surface flatness. The hook-and-loop connector designed in this application effectively solves this problem by creating a specific angle between its guide surface and the wall panel. Specifically, the angle formed by the extended surface of the first inclined surface and the wall panel plane is designed to be greater than the angle formed by the extended surface of the second inclined surface and the wall panel. This angle difference means that the wall panel does not completely adhere to the wall surface when initially against it, but rather leaves a small gap. This seemingly insignificant gap plays a crucial role in actual construction. It provides valuable space for the installer's fingers to reach in, allowing them to firmly support the inner side of the wall panel. Whether applying downward pressure to snap the wall panel into the hook-and-loop system or applying lateral force to push the wall panel into the predetermined position, the application of force becomes more direct and effortless. This design greatly improves the ergonomics of operation and reduces labor intensity. More importantly, before the wall panels are finally tightened, the construction workers can use the ease of operation provided by this gap to make precise fine adjustments to the position of the wall panels, thereby more effectively ensuring the flatness and alignment accuracy of the wall panel installation and improving the overall construction quality and efficiency.

[0021] 3. In actual construction environments, the presence of minute impurities such as dust and debris is almost unavoidable. If a traditional large-area contact design is used, these tiny particles, once trapped between the tight contact surfaces, can easily prevent the wall panel from being installed correctly, leading to a series of problems such as shaking and uneven surfaces after installation. In this application, a V-shaped groove constructed between the connecting part and the wall surface is used in conjunction with a guide part with a specific angle, and the angle between the guide part and the wall surface is set to be smaller than the angle between the connecting part and the wall surface. When the guide part, with its rounded ends, gradually embeds into the V-shaped groove, the snap-fit ​​and the hanger do not form a large-area tight fit, but rather create multiple discrete point-like contact areas. This specific geometric relationship naturally creates gaps around the contact areas. Impurities generated during construction can then fall into the pre-set peripheral gaps, thus preventing them from entering and affecting critical mechanical contact points. This structural design significantly improves the success rate of the installation process and its tolerance to complex construction environments. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0032] This application provides a wall panel mounting structure; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 5 The wall panel hanging structure is used for connecting walls and wall panels, including a hanger 1 and a snap-fit ​​2. The hanger 1 includes a hanger base 11, a hanger plate 12 and a guide 13. The hanger base 11 is connected to the first end of the hanger plate 12 and is configured to connect with the wall panel. The guide 13 is connected to the second end of the hanger plate 12 and extends obliquely away from the wall panel.

[0033] For example, combined Figure 2The snap-fit ​​component 2 includes a load-bearing base 21, a snap-fit ​​piece 22, and a guide portion 23. The load-bearing base 21 is connected to the first end of the snap-fit ​​piece 22 and is configured to be connected to the wall. The guide portion 23 is connected to the second end of the snap-fit ​​piece 22 and extends obliquely toward the side away from the wall.

[0034] Furthermore, a snap-fit ​​gap 24 is formed between the snap-fit ​​piece 22 and the wall surface, and the hanger 1 can slide into the snap-fit ​​gap 24 under the guidance of the guide part 23.

[0035] It is worth noting that, in order to facilitate a more stable connection between the wall panel and the wall surface, the length of the snap-fit ​​piece 22 and the guide part 23 in the vertical direction of the snap-fit ​​piece 2 should be increased accordingly, and should be equal to or approximately equal to the length of the guide part 13 and the hanging piece 12 in the vertical direction of the hanging piece 1. Otherwise, the hanging piece 1 is likely to fall out of the snap-fit ​​piece 2, which would make it impossible for the wall panel to be stably connected to the wall surface.

[0036] For example, the guide portion 13 extends obliquely toward the side away from the wall panel, and the guide portion 23 extends obliquely toward the side away from the wall surface to form a guide slope. A V-shaped guide cavity is formed between the guide slope and the wall surface, and the width of the V-shaped guide cavity gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0037] Specifically, during installation, the guide part 13 on the wall panel's mounting bracket 1 should first contact the guide part 23 installed on the wall surface. This allows the end of the guide part 13 to slide smoothly into the snap-fit ​​gap 24 under the guidance of the inclined surface of the guide part 23.

[0038] With this configuration, even if the wall panel is not aligned with the preset installation path, the guide slope of the guide part 23 can effectively guide the hanging piece 12 from the misaligned insertion position to the correct insertion position. Finally, the hanging piece 12 is automatically guided to the preset installation path and inserted into the snap-fit ​​gap 24, making the wall panel installation process very user-friendly, even for inexperienced operators. Therefore, this structural design not only provides greater fitting space and tolerance, but also makes the connection between the snap-fit ​​part 2 and the hanging part 1 more convenient and faster.

[0039] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, the end of the guide section 13 away from the hanging piece 12 is rounded.

[0040] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the end of the guide portion 23 away from the snap-fit ​​piece 22 is rounded.

[0041] It is understandable that by setting the end of the guide portion 13 away from the hanger 12 to a rounded corner, and the end of the guide portion 23 away from the snap-fit ​​piece 22 to a rounded corner instead of a sharp edge, this design further optimizes the guiding properties of the snap-fit ​​piece 2 when it engages with the hanger 1, allowing the hanger 12 to enter the snap-fit ​​piece 2 more smoothly, greatly reducing jamming and friction, and making the engagement action easier.

[0042] In other embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The snap-fit ​​piece 22 includes a connecting part 221 and a stop part 222. The connecting part 221 is connected to the top of the load-bearing base 21 and extends obliquely toward the side away from the wall. The stop part 222 is vertically connected to the end of the connecting part 221 away from the load-bearing base 21, and the guide part 23 is obliquely connected to the top of the stop part 222.

[0043] For example, a V-shaped groove 2211 is formed between the connecting part 221 and the wall surface. The V-shaped groove 2211 is connected to the snap-fit ​​gap 24. When the hanger 1 enters the snap-fit ​​gap 24, the guide part 13 is embedded in the V-shaped groove 2211.

[0044] For example, the angle formed between the extension line of the guide portion 13 and the wall is smaller than the angle formed between the extension line of the connecting portion 221 and the wall.

[0045] It is understandable that, through the design of the V-shaped groove 2211, and the fact that the angle formed between the extension line of the guide part 13 and the wall is smaller than the angle between the extension line of the connecting part 221 and the wall, when the guide part 13 with rounded ends is embedded in the V-shaped groove 2211, the contact between the snap-fit ​​part 2 and the hanger part 1 is a relatively small-area contact, discrete linear contact, or point contact, rather than a relatively large-area tight fit. This naturally leaves gaps around the contact points. At the construction site, dust and fine particles are ubiquitous. If the snap-fit ​​part 2 and the hanger part 1 are in a tight fit, the dust and fine particles generated at the construction site are very likely to remain between them, ultimately causing the wall panel to not be fully installed, resulting in shaking or unevenness. The point contact and ample gaps ensure that even if dust falls in, most of it will fall into the gaps and will not be pressed onto the critical stress-bearing contact surface, thus greatly reducing the probability of installation failure due to impurity accumulation.

[0046] In some embodiments, the two sides of the snap-fit ​​2 form a first lateral opening with the wall surface (not shown in the figure), and the two sides of the hanger 1 form a second lateral opening with the wall panel (not shown in the figure).

[0047] It is understandable that the two sides of the snap-fit ​​2 form openings with the wall and the two sides of the hanger 1 form openings with the wall panel. Therefore, when installing the wall panel, the hanger 1 of the wall panel can be pushed into the snap-fit ​​2 of the wall from the side horizontally. This provides great flexibility when installing in narrow spaces and also provides an alternative installation approach, improving the applicability of the installation in certain working conditions.

[0048] In other embodiments, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The guide portion 13 has a first inclined surface 131 and a second inclined surface 132. The first inclined surface 131 is opposite to the wall panel, and the second inclined surface 132 is opposite to the first inclined surface 131. The angle between the extended surface of the first inclined surface 131 and the wall panel is greater than the angle between the extended surface of the second inclined surface 132 and the wall panel.

[0049] For example, the angle between the extended surface of the first inclined surface 131 and the wall panel is 16°, so that the guide part 13 can leave a gap while also better fitting the wall surface.

[0050] Understandably, during traditional wall panel installation, it's difficult to reach behind the panel to apply force. However, in this application, the angle between the extended surface of the first inclined surface 131 of the guide portion 13 on the hanger 1 and the wall panel is greater than the angle between the extended surface of the second inclined surface 132 and the wall panel, thus naturally creating a relatively small gap between the wall panel and the wall surface. During installation, the operator can easily insert their fingers into this gap, allowing for more stable support and pressure application. Whether inserting the wall panel downwards or pushing it in from the side, it's easier to apply force. This design is not only more user-friendly but also facilitates fine-tuning of the wall panel's position before final fixing, thereby improving the wall panel's flatness.

[0051] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, both the mounting base 11 and the load-bearing base 21 have multiple threaded holes 211.

[0052] It is understood that screw holes for fixing are pre-drilled on the mounting base 11 and the load-bearing base 21. Operators can directly install screws at the screw holes to fix the mounting base 11 to the wall panel and the load-bearing base 21 to the wall, without the need for operators to measure and position, and at the same time, effectively ensuring the accuracy of the position.

[0053] Furthermore, during on-site construction, it may be necessary to re-drill holes for fixing in places where there are no screw holes due to cutting wall panels or special needs. Since all profiles are of the same model, operators can easily use any existing screw hole as a reference to accurately locate the position of the new hole, so that all fixing points are on a straight line, improving the flatness of the installation.

[0054] In other embodiments, the snap-fit ​​2 has the same shape and size as the hook-fit 1.

[0055] It is understandable that the snap-fit ​​part 2 and the hanger part 1 are the same shape and size. This means that the production line only needs to produce the same type of profile, which can be used for both wall surfaces and wall panels. This simplifies production and the supply chain, and also effectively improves the fitting accuracy of the hanger part 1 and the snap-fit ​​part 2.

[0056] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 1 is made of aluminum alloy.

[0057] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​element 2 is made of aluminum alloy.

[0058] Understandably, aluminum alloys have excellent corrosion resistance and do not rust, preventing walls from being contaminated by metal corrosion, and the use of thin metal sheets can significantly increase the usable area of ​​the space.
