Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of indoor floor decoration and particularly to an assembled caulking-free floor. Background Art

[0002] Prefabricated buildings and interiors are gaining increasing popularity due to their high installation efficiency, minimal material waste, low pollution, and low labor costs. Prefabricated floors have also been widely promoted. While prefabricated floors offer advantages such as convenient installation of water and electrical piping, high installation efficiency, low overall floor load, and low pollution, their elevated structure can make them feel unpleasant and suspended, resulting in a poor user experience. Existing prefabricated floors still require caulking after installation, but the significant vibration of prefabricated floor panels can lead to debonding in the caulking, necessitating repeated maintenance and replacement, significantly inconvenient for users.

[0003] In summary, it is very important to provide an assembled joint-free floor with high installation efficiency, good stability, comfortable foot feel and no need to use glue for seaming. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems and provide an assembled joint-free floor with high installation efficiency, good stability, comfortable foot feel and no need to use glue for beautiful seam treatment.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A prefabricated caulking-free floor comprises a plurality of floor panels joined together, flexible caulking strips provided at the longitudinal joints of the floor panels, and panel connectors provided at the transverse joints of the floor panels; the floor panels are longitudinally provided with first sound insulation holes and longitudinal mounting grooves symmetrically provided at the longitudinal side regions of the floor panels; the panel connectors comprise a connecting plate and a plurality of mounting protrusions symmetrically provided on both sides of the connecting plate; the mounting protrusions are provided at the ends of the first sound insulation holes.

[0007] Preferably, the flexible caulking strip comprises a first caulking portion and a second caulking portion, the width of the first caulking portion is greater than the width of the second caulking portion, and supporting wings are symmetrically provided on both sides of the second caulking portion.

[0008] Further preferably, the included angle direction between the supporting wing and the second caulking portion is close to the first caulking portion, and the side of the supporting wing away from the second caulking portion is flush with the side of the first caulking portion.

[0009] Preferably, a supporting platform is provided on the outer groove edge of the longitudinal installation groove, and a clamping strip is provided on the inner side of the supporting platform.

[0010] Further preferably, the clamping strip is inclined toward a side close to the outer groove edge.

[0011] Preferably, bayonet holes are provided at both ends of the connecting plate, and a clamping block perpendicular to the connecting plate is provided on one side of the bayonet hole close to the mounting protrusion.

[0012] Further preferably, the height of the clamping block matches the depth of the longitudinal mounting groove.

[0013] Preferably, a second sound insulation hole is provided above the first sound insulation hole and is parallel to the first sound insulation hole, and the diameter of the second sound insulation hole is smaller than the diameter of the first sound insulation hole.

[0014] The beneficial effects produced by the present invention include:

[0015] 1. The present invention discloses an assembled, caulking-free flooring formed by tightly connecting floor panels using flexible caulking strips and panel connectors. The flexible caulking strips are provided in the longitudinal joints of the floor panels. When the floor panels are subjected to impact and vibration, they act as a buffer, preventing cracking and bulging of the floor panels, thereby ensuring the anti-seismic stability of the floor panels, preventing hollowing, and enhancing foot comfort. The flexible caulking strips tightly fit adjacent floor panels, enhancing the sealing performance of the connections between the floor panels, preventing moisture from returning to the floor and water on the floor panels from seeping into the floor below. The flexible caulking strips provide a certain degree of waterproofing, prevent deterioration of the floor panels, and extend the service life of the flooring. The flexible caulking strips also avoid the use of caulking glue and subsequent replacement and maintenance.

[0016] 2. The flexible caulking strip includes a first caulking portion and a second caulking portion. The first caulking portion is wider than the second caulking portion, and the second caulking portion is installed first into the connecting seam, which is more convenient for installation. The angle between the supporting wing and the second caulking portion is closer to the first caulking portion. The supporting wing increases the friction between the flexible caulking strip and the floor panel, limiting the floor panel when the floor panel is impacted by external force, thereby preventing large-scale vibration of the floor panel.

[0017] 3. The mounting protrusions cooperate with the sound insulation holes. Located within the sound insulation holes, the mounting protrusions serve to connect the lateral edges of the floor panels while also supporting the edges of the sound insulation holes, reinforcing the lateral edges and enhancing their ability to resist deformation.

[0018] 4. The prefabricated, caulking-free flooring described herein also includes first and second sound-isolating holes longitudinally disposed within the floor panels. These holes prevent sound transmission, shielding the floor's water pipes and external noise, thereby enhancing indoor comfort. Furthermore, the second sound-isolating holes mitigate impact forces on the floor panels, enhancing their ability to deform under stress and improving the floor's impact resistance.

[0019] 5. The floor panels also include longitudinal mounting grooves that can be directly snapped onto the bottom support frame, making installation easy and fast. They can be reused after assembly and disassembly, reducing waste of resources. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the bottom support frame, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, the bottom support frame 4 includes a mounting slot 41 and an adjustment foot 42. The mounting slot 41 includes a bottom plate and two side edges that match the inclination angle of the clip 14. The two side edges, located near the closed surface of the longitudinal mounting slot 12, are provided with horizontal side edges for supporting the floor panels. A vertical baffle is provided on the side of the horizontal side edge away from the notch of the mounting slot 41. The side surface of the vertical baffle is flush with the side surface of the bottom of the mounting slot, that is, the side surface of the vertical baffle and the side surface of the bottom of the mounting slot are in the same vertical plane. The adjustment foot 42 is connected to the mounting slot 41 via threads.

The upper surface of the connecting plate 31 is flush with the upper surface of the floor panel 1, and the "upper" is the side of the floor panel 1 away from the original ground. The bayonet 311 Overlapping the installation groove, the clamping block 33 is clamped in the gap between the longitudinal installation groove 12 and the installation groove 41 to further limit and fix the floor panel; the second caulking portion 22 is first inserted into the longitudinal joint of the floor panel 1, and then the first caulking portion 21 is inserted until the upper surface of the flexible caulking strip 2 is flush with the upper surface of the bottom panel block 1, and the longitudinal joint between the first caulking portion 21 and the floor panel is interference fit. After the installation of the flexible caulking strip is completed, the edge of the assembled floor is sealed and reinforced.
