DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] Specific implementations of the present invention are described below with reference to accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the protection scope of the present invention is not be limited by the specific implementations.

Embodiment 1

[0028] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, this embodiment of the present invention provides a CLT decorative panel, including:

a first decorative layer 10;
a buffer layer 11;
a CLT layer 12; and
a second decorative layer 14; where
the first decorative layer 10, the buffer layer 11, the CLT layer 12 and the second decorative layer 14 are sequentially arranged from top to bottom; the first decorative layer 10, the buffer layer 11, the CLT layer 12 and the second decorative layer 14 are connected by gluing; the buffer layer 11 is internally provided with a non-Newtonian fluid 113. The first decorative layer 10 and the second decorative layer 14 can be customized and prefabricated in a factory, which saves the time of later decoration and improves the decoration.

[0029] The non-Newtonian fluid 113 refers to a fluid that does not follow Newton's law of viscosity, that is, a fluid whose shear stress and shear strain rate are not linearly related. The non-Newtonian fluid 113 generally includes a concentrated solution and a suspension of a high molecular weight polymer etc. The non-Newtonian fluid 113 includes a solution of polyethylene, polyacrylamide, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), nylon 6, polyvinyl stearate (PVS), celluloid, polyester and rubber, and a melt and solution of various engineering plastics chemical fibers, etc. The non-Newtonian fluid 113 includes petroleum, mud, a coal water slurry, a ceramic slurry, a paper pulp, a paint, an ink, a toothpaste, a silkworm regeneration solution, flushing and completion fluids for drilling, a magnetic paint, a coating liquid for a certain photosensitive material, a foam, a liquid crystal, a hyperconcentrated flow, a debris flow and the mantle, etc. In this embodiment, one or more of the above materials may be used.

[0030] When the non-Newtonian fluid 113 is subjected to a rapid impact, its shear strength instantly increases, which well buffers. When an ordinary CLT panel is impacted, the pressure per unit area is large due to a small bearing area. Because the shear strength of the CLT panel is limited, a single-point damage will be caused by a violent impact. When the buffer layer 11 is impacted, the non-Newtonian fluid 113 in the buffer layer increases a shear strength and disperses a single-point impact force to the CLT panel. In this way, the impact force acts in a large area, which reduces the pressure per unit area, and protects the CLT panel from a single-point damage in case of an impact.

[0031] Specifically, the buffer layer 11 is formed by coating the non-Newtonian fluid 113 with a flexible coating membrane 111. As shown in FIG. 2, the flexible coating membrane 111 may be made of a soft PVC material; the non-Newtonian fluid 113 is filled into the flexible coating membrane 111, and then the flexible coating membrane 111 is sealed. When subjected to a slow impact, the flexible coating membrane 111 deforms to avoid damage. The first decorative layer 10 is supported by a flexible material to protect the first decorative layer 10 from damage in case of an impact. In addition to avoiding damage to the CLT layer 12 when subjected to a rapid impact, the buffer layer 11 can also improve comfort.

[0032] Specifically, the buffer layer 11 is provided with a yield hole 112 for accommodating a bolt.

[0033] Specifically, a connecting groove is formed on a side surface of the decorative panel to fit with the connecting device 20 for positioning.

[0034] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the connecting groove is multiple, and the multiple connecting grooves are arranged at intervals. In this embodiment, the CLT decorative panel is rectangular. The CLT decorative panel is provided with a first connecting groove 121 on two opposite sides and a second connecting groove 122 on the other two opposite sides. The connecting grooves are formed on the CLT layer 12.

Embodiment 2

[0035] Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment further includes a waterproof/breathable membrane 13; the waterproof/breathable membrane 13 is located between the CLT layer 12 and the second decoration layer 14; the second decoration layer 14 is provided with a ventilation hole. Because the CLT panel is pressed from solid wood or lumber, the CLT panel will expand, deform and rot when it is wet or submerged in water, affecting the life cycle of a building. It is well known that a water vapor floats upward. When the water vapor is generated by boiling water indoors or due to other circumstances, the water vapor will invade upward from the bottom of the CLT decorative panel, and the waterproof/breathable membrane 13 can solve this problem well. The waterproof/breathable membrane 13 is a new type of high polymer waterproof material, which is mainly used for the building of steel construction and wooden construction. A water particle in the water vapor is small. According to a principle of capillary motion, the water particle can smoothly permeate to the other side of a capillary, which is the permeation of the water vapor. When the water vapor condenses into a water droplet, the particle becomes larger. Due to a surface tension of the water droplet (water molecules pull against each other), the water molecules cannot smoothly escape from the water droplet to permeate to the other side, thereby preventing the permeation of water. Therefore, the breathable membrane has a waterproof function. In this way, the waterproof/breathable membrane 13 prevents water from entering the CLT decorative panel. Meanwhile, a water vapor may infiltrate into the CLT decorative panel through a gap. Thus, the CLT layer 12 needs to communicate with the outside air to achieve breathing. In this way, the CLT layer 12 removes the water vapor inside to maintain a proper humidity. The waterproof/breathable membrane 13 allows the air to pass to achieve unobstructed ventilation with an external environment. Since there is less water in the CLT layer 12, it will not condense into a water droplet. Instead, a water molecule in the CLT layer escapes through the waterproof/breathable membrane 13, thereby maintaining a proper humidity.

Embodiment 3

[0036] As shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, a connecting device 20 for connecting the above-mentioned CLT decorative panel, where the connecting device 20 includes a support body 21 and a connecting block arranged on the support body 21; the support body 21 has a rectangular solid structure; a cross section of the support body 21 is square with a side length the same as a thickness of the decorative panel; the connecting block is fit with a connecting groove. In this embodiment, a first connecting block 22 and a second connecting block 23 are respectively arranged on two adjacent sides of the support body 21. These connecting blocks can be set freely according to actual needs.

[0037] During connection, a first connecting groove 121 is fit with the first connecting block 22, and a second connecting groove 122 is fit with the second connecting block 23. This connection realizes the positioning between a floor and a vertical panel and makes the positioning simple and quick. The first connecting block 22 and the second connecting block 23 are respectively inserted into the first connecting groove 121 and the second connecting groove 122 to reinforce the connection. The connection of a traditional CLT panel depending on the strength of the CLT panel itself is changed into the connection depending on the strength of the connecting device 20. As the first connecting block 22 and the second connecting block 23 are inserted into the first connecting groove 121 and the second connecting groove 122, it is not necessary to provide an L-shaped connecting plate at a connection surface, which greatly improves the aesthetics.

[0038] Further, the connecting block is provided with a threaded hole. As shown in FIG. 5, a first connecting hole 221 is opened on the first connecting block 22 and a second connecting hole 231 is opened on the second connecting block 23; the first connecting hole 221 and the second connecting hole 231 are both threaded holes; a countersink hole is opened on a first decorative panel to accommodate a bolt to realize the connection. The countersink hole greatly increases a connection strength and provides aesthetics by keeping an end surface of the bolt flush with an end surface of the first decorative panel to prevent a protrusion.

[0039] The above disclosed are only a few specific embodiments of the present invention, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall into the protection scope of the present invention.
