A tile panel 1 according to an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The tile panel 1 is composed of a top material 11 and a back material 12 from the top as constituent materials, and each constituent material is firmly fixed by an adhesive to form one unit.
The surface material 11 is a plate-like body having a substantially square shape in plan view made of a hard material such as ceramic, stone, tempered glass, or hard plastic. For example, one side is 100 to 1000 mm, but is generally 400 mm to 450 mm. The thickness is 10 mm to 30 mm and generally around 15 mm, but any of them is not limited thereto. Then, four ¼ disk-shaped fitting grooves 11 a having a size of the height H and the radius R are formed at the four corners of each side surface adjacent to the surface material 11 with the upper and lower boundary lines as axes. The fitting groove 11a is formed in a horizontal direction at a substantially central portion of the top and bottom thickness of the surface material 11. Although it depends on the size and thickness of the surface material 11, H is usually 1 to 5 mm and the radius R is 10 to 30 mm.
An oblique small chamfered portion 11b is provided on the entire four circumferences of the upper surface edge of the surface material 11, and the width thereof is, for example, 1 mm to 3 mm, and generally about 1.5 mm. Since the fitting groove 11a is formed in a substantially central portion of the top and bottom thickness of the surface material 11, the load is dispersed in the vertical direction and this portion is difficult to break. Further, since the chamfered portion 11b is relatively large, it is effective for preventing a bidet crack during construction.
The back material 12 is an elastic foam plate material, for example, a plastic foam such as polyethylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polyurethane, or a rubber foam, and has a square shape that is the same size as the surface material 11. The thickness is, for example, 1 to 5 mm and generally around 2 mm, but is not limited thereto.

The connecting member 2 used in the tile panel of the example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3. The reference numeral 2 is a generic name of the connecting member, and there are various specific examples. Each example will be described.

3 (a-3) b) and b) show the disk-shaped connecting member 23 of the first example 3, wherein the main body 23a is the same as the connecting member 21 in material, diameter and outer peripheral end face shape. However, a cross-shaped protrusion 23b is formed on the surface of the main body 23a by two orthogonal small protrusions x, x and y, y extending in parallel from the center toward the outer peripheral end face. Here, the small protrusions x, x and y, y are set to a small value of about 0.5 mm, for example, and the height of the small protrusion is added to the thickness of the main body 23a to be fitted into the fitting groove 11a. The thickness h is selected so as to be a negative cross with respect to the height H so as to be possible.
As a modification, a hollow portion 21a can be formed inside the connecting member 21 as shown by a two-dot chain line. The hollow portion 21a has, for example, a substantially disk shape with a thickness of 0.5 to 1.2 m / m, usually around 1 mm, and is fitted with a groove formed by the fitting groove 11a when the tile panel described later is applied. As a result of the collapse of the hollow portion 21a, a repulsive force is generated by the compression resistance of the air, and an effect of strengthening the fixation is obtained. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, a disk-like shape bulging outward may be used so that the repulsive force of air is further increased.
Here, the role of the small protrusions is that when the tile panel is constructed, the small protrusions are formed by fitting with the grooves formed by the fitting grooves 11a, thereby improving the adhesion. The role of the small protrusion is the same in other examples of the connecting member described later.
