Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of floor, in particular to a floor system and a vertical dismountable floor buckle. BACKGROUND

[0002] The patent No. CN201780059362.X discloses a floor buckle structure which connects two adjacent floor blocks together by vertical displacement, and the two floor blocks are locked in vertical and horizontal directions after assembly.

[0003] The structure which connects two floor blocks together by vertical displacement not only reduces the difficulty of floor block assembly, but also has lower requirements for space, especially horizontal space, and is very practical.

[0004] However, the floor buckle structure in the above patent has the following defects:

[0005] After the side edges of the two floor blocks are connected by the male and female buckles, the two floor blocks can only be separated by rotating one of them downward. However, the floor installed on the ground does not have the space to rotate downward, so when this buckle structure is applied to the floor system, it is easy to install but difficult to disassemble.

[0006] The present application is thus derived. SUMMARY

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a floor system and a vertical dismountable floor buckle which are simple and ingenious in structure and can lock and separate the side edges of two floor blocks by vertical displacement.

[0008] The technical scheme of the present application is:

[0009] A floor system, comprising a first floor block and a second floor block arranged horizontally, the side edge of the first floor block is provided with a male buckle, the side edge of the second floor block is provided with a female buckle matched with the male buckle, the male buckle and the female buckle are configured to be locked by vertical downward displacement of the first floor block relative to the second floor block and to be separated by vertical upward displacement of the first floor block relative to the second floor block, the male buckle comprises a vertical tongue extending downward and a horizontal tongue slot recessed inward, the female buckle comprises a vertical tongue slot recessed downward and a horizontal tongue extending outward, the vertical tongue is embedded in the vertical tongue slot to lock the first floor block and the second floor block in the horizontal direction, and the horizontal tongue is embedded in the horizontal tongue slot to elastically lock the first floor block and the second floor block in the vertical direction.

[0010] The application further comprises the following preferred schemes on the basis of the above technical scheme.

[0011] The female buckle comprises elastic arms extending downward and deformation seams inside the elastic arms, and the elastic tongues are integrally formed at lower ends of the elastic arms.

[0012] The female buckle comprises elastic arms extending upward and deformation seams inside the elastic arms, and the elastic tongues are integrally formed at upper ends of the elastic arms.

[0013] The female buckle comprises:

[0014] elastic arms extending vertically and fixedly connected with the female buckle body at both ends, and

[0015] deformation seams inside the elastic arms;

[0016] The elastic tongues are integrally formed at middle portions of the elastic arms.

[0017] The elastic tongues and the vertical tongue grooves are separated by a certain distance in the horizontal direction, and the floor system further comprises a sealing strip vertically clamped by the male buckle and the female buckle and located between the elastic tongues and the vertical tongue grooves.

[0018] A lower half of an outer side surface of the elastic tongue is a guide inclined surface with an outer high and an inner low, and an upper half of the outer side surface of the elastic tongue is a guide inclined surface with an outer low and an inner high.

[0019] A lower side groove wall surface of the tongue groove is a guide inclined surface with an outer low and an inner high, and an outer surface of the male buckle located directly below the tongue groove is a guide inclined surface with an outer high and an inner low.

[0020] The second floor block is a wooden floor block, the female buckle comprises a wooden female buckle body integrated with a body structure of the second floor block, and the elastic arms with the elastic tongues are metal or plastic pieces fixedly connected in the female buckle body.

[0021] The elastic tongues and the vertical tongue grooves are separated by a certain distance in the horizontal direction, and during vertical assembly of the first floor block and the second floor block, when the male buckle contacts the elastic tongues, an inner side surface of the vertical tongue and an outer side groove wall surface of the vertical tongue groove abut against each other.

[0022] A vertical dismountable floor buckle comprises a male buckle and a female buckle which are matched, and are locked by vertical downward movement of the male buckle relative to the female buckle, and are unlocked by vertical upward movement of the male buckle relative to the female buckle, the male buckle comprises a vertical tongue extending downward and a horizontal tongue slot recessed inward, the female buckle comprises a vertical tongue slot recessed downward and a horizontal tongue extending outward, the vertical tongue is embedded in the vertical tongue slot to lock the male buckle and the female buckle in horizontal direction, and the horizontal tongue is embedded in the horizontal tongue slot to elastically lock the male buckle and the female buckle in vertical direction.

[0023] The present application can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. In the floor system of the present application, the male and female floor buckles arranged at the side edges of adjacent floor blocks are locked and unlocked by vertical displacement, which facilitates the assembly and connection of the floor blocks, and enables any floor block locked with adjacent floor blocks by male buckles to be vertically dismounted from the floor system.

[0025] 2. After the corresponding side edges of adjacent floor blocks are connected by the floor buckles of the present application, the two floor blocks are rigidly locked in horizontal and vertical directions, so that even if a large horizontal force is applied to the floor blocks, the adjacent floor blocks cannot be dismounted, and only if a vertical upward force is applied to the floor blocks by a special tool, the adjacent floor blocks can be dismounted, which is exactly suitable for the use environment of the floor: when the floor system is in normal use, the floor blocks are mainly subjected to vertical downward pressure and occasionally subjected to a large horizontal thrust, but the aforementioned vertical downward pressure and horizontal thrust will not cause the floor blocks to separate from each other, and the vertical upward pulling force that can cause the floor blocks to separate will not occur when the floor system is in normal use.

[0026] 3. When the floor blocks are wooden floor blocks, the female buckle body is directly and integrally machined at the side edge of the main body of the wooden floor block during the manufacture of the main body of the wooden floor block, and then the elastic arm made of metal or plastic material with the horizontal tongue is fixedly connected in the female buckle body, so that the floor buckle of the present application is also applicable to wooden floor blocks.

[0027] 4. During the vertical assembly of the two adjacent floor blocks, when the elastic horizontal tongue of the male buckle contacts the elastic horizontal tongue of the female buckle, and the elastic horizontal tongue and the elastic arm are about to be deformed under pressure, the inner side surface of the vertical tongue and the outer side groove wall surface of the vertical tongue slot abut against each other. In this way, when the elastic arm and the elastic horizontal tongue are deformed inward as the male buckle continues to move downward, the horizontal thrust exerted by the elastic arm on the male buckle is resisted by the groove wall of the vertical tongue slot, and the installer does not need to exert a horizontal thrust on the first floor block directed to the second floor block, further reducing the installation difficulty of the two floor blocks.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the described embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without any creative effort belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0046] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used herein should be understood as the usual meaning understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs. The use of "one" or "a" and similar words in the patent application specification and claims of the present application does not represent a quantity limitation, but represents the existence of at least one.

[0047] In the present application specification and claims, "inner", "outer", "inboard", "outboard" are "inner", "inboard" in the horizontal direction close to the center of the floor block, and "outer", "outboard" in the horizontal direction away from the center of the floor block, unless otherwise specified.

[0048] In the description of the present application specification and claims, the orientation or position relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "horizontal" and the like is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or unit referred to must have a particular direction, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0049] Now, the embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0050] Embodiment one:

[0051] The same as the traditional floor system, the floor system of the embodiment also comprises a plurality of floor panels horizontally laid on the ground, the outer contour of each floor panel is substantially rectangular, and the side edge of each floor panel is provided with a floor buckle, and adjacent floor panels are connected to each other by means of the floor buckles of the side edges.

[0052] Figure 1 Two adjacent floor panels in the floor system are shown, which are a first floor panel a and a second floor panel b, the side edge of the first floor panel a is provided with a male buckle 1, the side edge of the second floor panel b is provided with a female buckle 2 matched with the male buckle 1, the male buckle 1 and the female buckle 2 are configured to be locked to each other by vertically moving the first floor panel a downward relative to the second floor panel b, and the male buckle 1 and the female buckle 2 are also configured to be unlocked by vertically moving the first floor panel a upward relative to the second floor panel b.

[0053] The key improvement of the embodiment is that the male buckle 1 comprises a vertical tongue 101 extending downward and a horizontal tongue slot 102 recessed inward, and the female buckle 2 comprises a vertical tongue slot 201 recessed downward and a horizontal tongue 202 extending outward. The vertical tongue 101 is embedded in the vertical tongue slot 201, thereby locking the first floor panel a and the second floor panel b in the horizontal direction. The horizontal tongue 202 is embedded in the horizontal tongue slot 102, thereby elastically locking the first floor panel a and the second floor panel b in the vertical direction.

[0054] The so-called "elastic tongue" does not specifically refer to the tongue itself having the ability of elastic deformation, but the "elasticity" of the tongue can come from the tongue itself or from other structures connected to the tongue and the female buckle body (such as the elastic arm described below in the embodiment). In this way, when the tongue is subjected to a force in a specific direction (vertical direction), it will produce "displacement deformation", and the "displacement deformation" will recover after the aforementioned force is eliminated. The aforementioned "displacement deformation" can be the displacement of the whole tongue, or the deformation and local displacement of the tongue itself. In the embodiment, the following structure is adopted:

[0055] The female buckle 2 further comprises an elastic arm 203 extending downward and a deformation gap 204 located inside the elastic arm, and the elastic tongue 202 is integrally formed at the lower end of the elastic arm 203.

[0056] In this embodiment, the elastic horizontal tongue 202 and the vertical tongue groove 201 are separated by a certain distance in the horizontal direction, and the elastic horizontal tongue 202 is located inside the vertical tongue groove 201. Correspondingly, the horizontal tongue groove 102 and the vertical tongue 101 are separated by a certain distance in the horizontal direction, and the horizontal tongue groove 102 is located outside the vertical tongue 101. In some other embodiments of this application, the elastic horizontal tongue 202 can also be located outside the vertical tongue groove 201, and correspondingly, the horizontal tongue groove 102 can be located inside the vertical tongue 101. The horizontal tongue groove 102 and the vertical tongue groove 201, and the elastic horizontal tongue 202 and the vertical tongue 101 are arranged separately in the horizontal direction (specifically, in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the connecting edge of the two ground plates), which facilitates the manufacturing and vertical assembly of the male and female buckles, and also makes it very convenient to clamp a sealing strip between the male and female buckles to prevent water from entering, as shown in Embodiment 3.

[0057] Reference Figures 2 to 4 As shown, during assembly, the outer side of the upper half of the male latch 1 on the first base plate a moves vertically downward against the outer side of the upper half of the female latch 2 on the second base plate b. The elastic horizontal tongue 202 on the female latch 2 moves inward under the pressure of the outer side of the upper half of the male latch 1, and the elastic arm 203 is indirectly compressed (the elastic horizontal tongue 202 is directly compressed), deforming inward at its lower end. When the horizontal tongue groove 102 moves down to the position of the elastic horizontal tongue 202, the elastic horizontal tongue 202 is no longer compressed, the elastic arm 203 recovers its deformation, and the elastic horizontal tongue 202 moves outward and embeds into the horizontal tongue groove 102, achieving elastic locking of the male latch 1 and the female latch 2 in the vertical direction. At this time, the vertical tongue 101 of the female latch 2 is precisely embedded in the vertical tongue groove 201 of the male latch 1, achieving rigid locking of the male latch 1 and the female latch 2 in the horizontal direction.

[0058] When it is necessary to separate the first land plate a and the second land plate b, a certain amount of upward force can be applied to the first land plate a by means of the negative pressure suction cup adsorbed on the upper surface of the first land plate a. The elastic tongue 202 is directly pressed, the elastic arm 203 is indirectly pressed and its lower end deforms inward. The elastic tongue 202 moves inward and disengages from the tongue groove 102.

[0059] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in order to facilitate the vertical locking and separation of the male latch 1 and the female latch 2 (that is, the vertical locking and separation of the first ground plate a and the second ground plate b), in this embodiment, the lower half 202a of the outer side of the elastic horizontal tongue 202 is set as a guide slope with the outside higher than the inside, and the upper half 202b of the outer side of the elastic horizontal tongue 202 is set as a guide slope with the outside lower than the inside. During the vertical assembly and vertical separation of the two ground plates, under the action of the aforementioned guide slope, the vertical extrusion force on the elastic horizontal tongue 202 is converted into a horizontal extrusion force (horizontal component force), so that the elastic arm 203 is easier to deform.

[0060] Furthermore, the upper half 202a and the lower half of the outer surface of the aforementioned elastic horizontal tongue 202 are both arc surfaces with a certain degree of smoothness. Even further, the two arc surfaces are concentric, thus making the entire outer surface of the elastic horizontal tongue 202 an arc surface.

[0061] To better guide the elastic horizontal tongue 202 into the horizontal tongue groove 102 and to guide the elastic horizontal tongue 202 out of the horizontal tongue groove 102 (when the first ground plate is subjected to a sufficiently large upward pulling force), in this embodiment, the lower groove wall surface 102a of the horizontal tongue groove 102 on the male buckle 1 is set as a guide slope with a lower outer side and a higher inner side, and the outer surface 103 of the male buckle 1 located directly below the horizontal tongue groove 102 is set as a guide slope with a higher outer side and a lower inner side. Furthermore, both the lower groove wall surface of the aforementioned horizontal tongue groove 102 and the outer surface 103 of the male buckle located directly below the horizontal tongue groove are arc-shaped.

[0062] In this embodiment, each floor clip is a single molded component made of aluminum alloy profile. Floor clips can also be made of other materials, such as single-molded plastic parts.

[0063] Of course, we can also set the above-mentioned male buckle 1 or female buckle 2 as a split structure assembled from multiple parts.

[0064] In this embodiment, the floor panels (including the first and second floor panels mentioned above) are not traditional wood flooring or marble / tile flooring panels, but a composite structure. It is mainly composed of a lower honeycomb aluminum panel 3 and an upper wood panel 4 bonded together and fixed, with the floor clips bonded to the side of the honeycomb aluminum panel 3.

[0065] The aforementioned wooden panel 4 can also be replaced with a marble panel, ceramic tile panel, or plastic panel. The honeycomb aluminum panel 3 consists of an upper aluminum panel 301, a lower aluminum panel 302 arranged parallel to the upper aluminum panel below it, and an aluminum honeycomb core layer 303 fixedly connected between the upper and lower aluminum panels. The area of ​​the aluminum honeycomb core layer 303 is smaller than the areas of the upper aluminum panel 301 and the lower aluminum panel 302, and each side of the aluminum honeycomb core layer 303 is inside the corresponding side of the upper aluminum panel 301 and the lower aluminum panel 302, thus forming a floor clip insertion gap 3a around the aluminum honeycomb core layer 303 between the upper aluminum panel 301 and the lower aluminum panel 302. Each of the aforementioned floor clips is inserted into the aforementioned floor clip insertion gap 3a. Furthermore, the floor clip portion inserted into the aforementioned floor clip insertion gap 3a is bonded and fixed to the upper aluminum panel 301 and the lower aluminum panel 302.

[0066] Of course, in this embodiment, the main body of each floor panel can be made entirely of wood. In this case, the floor clip, especially the female clip 2, can be made of wood that is integrated with the main body of the floor panel. While making the main body of the wooden floor panel, the female clip body is directly machined into place on the side of the main body of the floor panel. Then, the elastic arm 203 with the elastic tongue 202 is fixedly connected to the wooden female clip body. The aforementioned elastic arm 203 with the elastic tongue 202 is preferably made of metal or plastic with a certain deformation capacity and high structural strength.

[0067] Of course, in this embodiment, the main body of each floor panel can be entirely made of wood—commonly known as wood flooring or wooden floor panels. In this case, the floor latch, especially the female latch 2, can be a piece of wood integrated with the floor panel body—the female latch body is integrally machined directly on the side of the floor panel body while the wooden floor panel body is being manufactured. Then, a spring arm with a flexible tongue is fixedly connected to the wooden female latch body. The aforementioned spring arm with a flexible tongue is preferably made of metal or plastic with a certain degree of deformation capability and high structural strength. The male latch 1 can be integrally manufactured with the floor panel body, that is, the male latch 1 is entirely of wood structure and is integrally connected with the main body structure of the first floor panel a. The male latch 1 is integrally machined directly on the side of the floor panel body while the wooden floor panel body is being manufactured.

[0068] Refer to Figure 7 As shown, the first land slab a actually has not only the aforementioned male buckle 1 on its side, but also the aforementioned female buckle 2 on its side. The male and female buckles on the first land slab a are respectively located on different sides of the first land slab. Similarly, the second land slab b has not only the aforementioned female buckle 2 on its side, but also the aforementioned male buckle 1 on its side. The male and female buckles on the second land slab b are respectively located on different sides of the second land slab. In this way, a third land slab c can be connected to the other side of the first land slab a, and a fourth land slab d can be connected to the other side of the second land slab b, as shown. Figure 8 .

[0069] Example 2:

[0070] Figure 9 A second specific embodiment of the floor system of this application is shown, which has a structural form that is substantially the same as that of Embodiment 1, except that:

[0071] In this embodiment, the spring arm 203 on the female latch 2 extends upward rather than downward, and the elastic horizontal tongue 202 is integrally formed on the upper end of the spring arm 203 rather than the lower end.

[0072] Example 3:

[0073] Figure 10 A third specific embodiment of the floor system of this application is shown, which has a structural form that is substantially the same as that of Embodiment 1, except that:

[0074] In this embodiment, the spring arm 203 on the female buckle 2 extends vertically, and both ends of the spring arm 203 are integrally connected to the female buckle body. The elastic horizontal tongue 202 is integrally formed in the middle of the spring arm 203.

[0075] It should be noted that the terms "upper end," "lower end," and "middle part" of the spring arm used in the claims and description of this application should not be interpreted narrowly. "Upper end" should not be limited to the upper endpoint of the spring arm, "lower end" should not be limited to the lower endpoint of the spring arm, and "middle part" should not be limited to the geometric midpoint of the spring arm's length. Generally, if the length of the spring arm is divided into three equal segments, then each point in the upper segment can be called the upper end of the spring arm, each point in the lower segment can be called the lower end of the spring arm, and each point in the middle segment can be called the middle part of the spring arm.

[0076] Example 4:

[0077] Figure 11 A fourth specific embodiment of the floor system of this application is shown, which has a structural form that is substantially the same as that of Embodiment 1, except that:

[0078] In this embodiment, a sealing strip 5 is provided at the mating point of the male buckle 1 and the female buckle 2.

[0079] The aforementioned sealing strip 5 is specifically positioned between the elastic horizontal tongue 202 and the vertical tongue groove 201, and is vertically clamped by the male latch 1 and the female latch 2. This prevents water above the floor system from seeping downwards into the floor system through the gaps at the joints of the floor tiles.

[0080] Example 5:

[0081] Figures 12 to 14 A fifth specific embodiment of the flooring system of this application is shown, which is structurally similar to that of Embodiment 1, except that:

[0082] In this implementation, the entire body of each floor panel is made of wood—commonly known as wood flooring or wooden flooring, including solid wood flooring, engineered wood flooring, multi-layer composite flooring, bamboo flooring, and cork flooring, etc., no longer a composite structure of honeycomb substrate and wood panel. The body of the female clip 2 is a piece of wood material integrated with the floor panel body—the female clip body is integrally machined directly on the side of the floor panel body while the wooden floor panel body is being manufactured. Then, the spring arm 203 with elastic tongue 202 is fixedly connected to the wooden female clip body. The aforementioned spring arm with elastic tongue is preferably made of metal or plastic with a certain deformation capacity and high structural strength. The male clip 1 is completely integrally manufactured with the floor panel body, that is, the male clip 1 is entirely a wooden structure and is integrally integrated with the floor panel body structure. The male clip 1 is integrally machined directly on the side of the floor panel body while the wooden floor panel body is being manufactured.

[0083] Example 6:

[0084] Figure 15 The sixth specific embodiment of the flooring system of this application is shown. This flooring system is structurally similar to that of Embodiment 1, with the main difference being:

[0085] In this embodiment, during the vertical assembly of the male and female latches, i.e., the vertical assembly of the first ground plate a and the second ground plate b, when the male latch 1 contacts the elastic horizontal tongue 202 on the female latch, the inner surface 101a of the vertical tongue 101 abuts against the outer groove wall 201a of the vertical tongue groove 201. Thus, when the male latch 1 continues to move downwards, causing the spring arm and elastic horizontal tongue to deform inwards, the horizontal thrust exerted on the male latch 1 is blocked by the groove wall of the vertical tongue groove. This eliminates the need for the installer to apply a horizontal thrust towards the second ground plate to the first ground plate a, further reducing the installation difficulty of the two ground plates.

[0086] In other words, when the spring arm and the elastic horizontal tongue are about to be compressed and deformed, the vertical tongue 101 cooperates with the vertical tongue groove 201 to form a vertical guide.

[0087] The above are merely exemplary embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application, which is determined by the appended claims.
