Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of building decoration technology, and in particular to a single-point insertion wood flooring structure and installation method. Background Technology
[0002] Flooring, including solid wood flooring and engineered wood flooring, is widely used as a common flooring treatment for both indoor and outdoor surfaces. There are two main methods of installation: with and without a joist. With a joist, the joists are laid at regular intervals on the floor slab, and the floorboards are then placed on the joists and secured with nails to prevent shifting or warping. Without a joist, the flooring is simply laid directly onto the floor slab. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. Flooring with a joist has its advantages because the joists allow for some unevenness in the floor surface, which can be leveled by adjusting the joists. Conduits and water pipes can also be run under the floor. Furthermore, because the floor is raised, it has better moisture resistance. At the same time, the spaced joists give the floor a certain degree of elasticity, making it more comfortable to walk on. However, the installation process is more complicated and time-consuming. Flooring without a joist, on the other hand, requires the floor surface to be leveled before installation. The floor is laid tightly against the floor surface, and because it lacks a joist-like fixing structure, it is prone to warping or misalignment after installation.
[0003] However, traditional joist-laid wood flooring usually requires installation and fixation with floor nails, and installation is done by the male and female structures between adjacent wood floorboards. Firstly, it requires a high level of skill from the installers. Ordinary construction workers may lack judgment or perform the work properly, which can easily lead to loose joints, warping of the floorboards, and abnormal noises when stepped on. Secondly, the traditional method of installing flooring is very inconvenient to replace and maintain. When it is disassembled, the entire piece of wood flooring can easily be damaged, and the joist structure is also easily damaged.
[0004] The patent applicant has conducted research on this topic and developed a single-point insertion wood flooring structure and installation method to reduce the difficulty of wood flooring construction and improve the quality of assembly. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a single-point insertion wood flooring structure and installation method to improve the convenience of wood flooring installation and enhance the quality of flooring splicing.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0007] A single-point insertion type wood flooring structure includes a wood floor and a support frame. The wood floor has a straight structure around its perimeter. The main body of the support frame is cylindrical and made of metal. The support frame includes an upper block and a lower block. The upper block is used to connect to the bottom of the wood floor, and the lower block is used to install and fix it to the ground. The upper block includes an installation part, a load-bearing part, and an insertion part. The lower block includes a support leg and a support part. The insertion part of the upper block has a conical ball head structure. The support part of the lower block has a cylindrical straight hole at its center. An elastic retaining spring is horizontally arranged inside the support part. The insertion part can be inserted into the straight hole of the support part, and the elastic retaining spring can restrict the upper position of the insertion part.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the upper assembly mounting portion is consistent with the outer diameter of the lower assembly foot portion.
[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a positioning template, the length and width of which are consistent with the wood flooring, and the positioning template has multiple positioning holes, the diameter of which is consistent with the outer diameter of the upper assembly mounting part or the lower assembly support part.
[0010] Furthermore, the positioning template has positioning triangular grooves at the center lines of its four sides, with the vertices of the positioning triangular grooves coinciding with the center lines.
[0011] Furthermore, a wear-resistant ring is provided inside the straight hole of the lower assembly support portion.
[0012] Furthermore, the top surface of the upper assembly block is provided with an annular pattern structure.
[0013] Furthermore, an annular elastic ring is arranged at the top of the lower block support portion.
[0014] Furthermore, the top of the lower block support is provided with a ring edge, which confines the elastic ring inside it.
[0015] The single-point insertion method for installing wood flooring includes the following steps:
[0016] Leveling or self-leveling the building floor;
[0017] Based on the installation requirements, a plan for laying the wooden flooring was developed, and alignment instruments were used to install the lower blocks sequentially on the ground using positioning templates.
[0018] Install the blocks onto the wood flooring using the positioning template;
[0019] Insert the wood flooring pieces with the upper panels installed into the corresponding lower panels one by one, and then complete the installation of all the wood flooring pieces in sequence.
[0020] Furthermore, after the lower blocks are installed on the ground, the difference between the upper surface of the corresponding lower block and the standard height is obtained using a level instrument. During the installation of the upper blocks on the wooden floor, holes of the corresponding depth are drilled in the wooden floor to ensure that the surface of all wooden floorboards is flat.
[0021] Compared with existing technologies, this solution has the following advantages:
[0022] This solution is a single-point insertion wood flooring structure. When making wood flooring, only the structure of the upright sidewall is needed, without the need for the interlocking structure of traditional wood flooring. Therefore, it can greatly improve the production efficiency, increase the utilization rate of wood or raw materials, and reduce the production process requirements and procedures. The bottom of the wood flooring in this solution can also be a flat surface, without the need for other grooving or other installation structures. Therefore, it is also convenient to improve and enhance the quality indicators of wood flooring such as density, moisture resistance or wear resistance.
[0023] The main body of the wood flooring is installed by interlocking the upper and lower panels. During the installation process on the ground and at the bottom of the wood flooring, positioning templates are used to greatly improve the accuracy of the installation and ensure precise alignment between the upper and lower panels. Therefore, the overall installation is accurate and the construction is convenient.
[0024] Similarly, when replacement and maintenance are required, since the adjacent wooden floors do not have a nested structure, each wooden floor can be replaced individually. Specifically, you only need to hold the side of the corresponding wooden floor and pull it vertically upwards. The upper block at the bottom of the wooden floor can be quickly separated from the lower block on the ground, making replacement and maintenance extremely convenient.
[0025] This solution presents a single-point insertion method for installing wood flooring. It utilizes a positioning template to install the lower interlocking blocks to the ground and the upper interlocking blocks to the bottom of the wood flooring. The positioning template improves installation accuracy, reduces the difficulty of wood flooring installation, and significantly increases installation efficiency. The interlocking structure allows for rapid, sequential installation. For large installation sites, after the lower interlocking blocks are laid, multiple workers can begin installation from different positions, greatly improving efficiency. While reducing construction difficulty, it also significantly improves the flatness of the flooring, the tightness of the joints, and the aesthetics, thus possessing significant potential for widespread adoption.

[0030] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the positioning template structure. Detailed Implementation
[0031] refer to Figures 1 to 5 A single-point insertion type wood flooring structure includes a wood floor 1 and a support frame. The wood floor 1 can be a standard size or a large size structure with a width of 150 mm, a length of 1500 mm and a height (thickness) of 18 mm. In order to facilitate splicing and reduce the difficulty of manufacturing, the four sides of the wood floor 1 are all straight structures (that is, there are no male and female structures that can be matched with each other on the four sides).
[0032] The main support frame has a cylindrical structure and can be made of metal parts such as aluminum alloy, which has a certain degree of corrosion resistance. The support frame includes an upper assembly 3 and a lower assembly 2. The upper assembly 3 is used for installation and connection with the bottom of the wooden floor 1, and the lower assembly 2 is used for installation and fixing to the ground. Usually, six support frames are arranged at the bottom of the wooden floor 1, four of which are arranged at the four corners of the wooden floor 1 and two are arranged near the center, in a diagonal arrangement. Through this installation structure, multiple triangular force-bearing structures are formed, which can improve the structural strength and stability of the installation, reduce the deformation of the wooden floor during use, and prevent various friction noises.
[0033] The upper assembly 3 comprises, from top to bottom, an installation part 31, a load-bearing part 32, and an insertion part 33. The top of the installation part 31 has a circular upper surface with an annular pattern structure 34. This annular pattern structure 34 is used to improve the fit with the wood flooring 1 and make the installation more stable. Multiple installation holes are provided on the outer ring of the installation part 31. Through the installation holes, the upper assembly 3 can be firmly installed on the bottom of the wood flooring 1 using self-tapping screws or other methods. The lower surface of the load-bearing part 32 has a flat annular outer ring, which is used to cooperate with the lower assembly 2 to bear the load. The insertion part 33 has a conical ball head structure, that is, both its upper and lower sides have beveled edges in the shape of a frustum, which can serve as a fitting and limiting function.
[0034] The lower assembly 2 includes a foot part 21 and a support part 22. The bottom of the foot part 21 is flat, and multiple mounting holes are provided on its outer ring. Through the mounting holes, the lower assembly 2 can be firmly installed on the corresponding position on the ground using self-tapping screws, screwdrivers, or expansion screws. The main body of the support part 22 is cylindrical, with a cylindrical straight hole in the center. This straight hole is used to accommodate the insertion part 33, that is, the insertion part 33 can be fully inserted vertically from top to bottom. An elastic retaining spring 23 is horizontally arranged inside the support part. The elastic retaining spring 23 can deform slightly in the horizontal direction. The distance between its two legs is less than the outer diameter of the maximum part of the insertion part 33. Therefore, when the insertion part 33 is inserted into the straight hole of the support part 22, the elastic retaining spring 23 first performs an opening operation. When the insertion part 33 is fully inserted into the straight hole, the elastic retaining spring 23 can restrict the position of the upper inclined side of the insertion part 33 and keep the upper assembly 3 and the lower assembly 2 in a single unit state.
[0035] To better facilitate the fit between the upper assembly 3 and the lower assembly 2, improve the elasticity of the structure, and reduce friction and noise, an elastic ring 24 made of rubber material is arranged on the top of the support column 22. A ring edge 25 is provided around the outer edge of the top of the support column 22, which confines the elastic ring 24 inside, thereby improving the service life of the elastic ring and preventing misalignment during installation. At the same time, a wear-resistant ring 26 is provided on the inner wall of the straight hole of the support column 22. The wear-resistant ring 26 can be made of PVC material. Specifically, the wear-resistant ring 26 can be applied to the inner wall of the straight hole by brushing, and its thickness only needs to be about 0.5 mm.
[0036] To improve installation accuracy and efficiency, a positioning template 4 is also included. The positioning template 4 is used for positioning and installation, especially for the installation of the lower assembly 2 and the upper assembly 3. One or more positioning templates 4 are used to achieve the layout and positioning of the wood flooring on the ground. The length and width dimensions of the positioning template 4 are consistent with the wood flooring. The positioning template has multiple positioning holes arranged symmetrically. These positioning holes are four first positioning holes 41 located at the four corners of the positioning template 4, four second positioning holes 42 located at the center, and two third positioning holes 43 located between the first positioning holes 41 and the second positioning holes 42. In order to improve installation strength and reduce material usage, the support frame can be placed in the following manner: when installing a whole piece of wood flooring 1, select four first positioning holes 41 and two second positioning holes 42 diagonally. When installing half a piece of wood flooring 1 (wood flooring at both ends when performing left-right staggered installation), select two first positioning holes 41 on one side, two second positioning holes 42 and one third positioning hole 43 on the other side.
[0037] The diameter of all positioning holes is the same as the outer diameter of the mounting part 31 or the support part 21, so that the two can be tightly inserted into the positioning holes. In order to facilitate alignment and arrangement by means of equipment such as laser alignment instruments, positioning triangular grooves 44 are provided at the center lines of the four sides of the positioning template 4. The apex of the positioning triangular groove 44 coincides with the center line. Therefore, when passing through the laser alignment instrument, by aligning the apex of the positioning triangular groove 44 with the laser line, the position of each piece of wood flooring can be precisely controlled.
[0038] The single-point insertion method for installing wood flooring includes the following steps:
[0039] 1. Level or self-level the building floor to make it flat. If necessary, moisture-proofing treatment can be carried out.
[0040] 2. Based on the laying requirements, plan the wood flooring laying scheme, and use the alignment instrument and positioning template 4 to install the lower blocks 2 on the ground in sequence;
[0041] 3. Using the positioning template 4, install the corresponding assembly block 3 on the wooden floor 1;
[0042] 4. Insert the wood flooring 1 with the upper block 3 installed into the corresponding lower block 2 in sequence, and complete the laying of all the wood flooring 1 in sequence.
[0043] To ensure a smoother installation of the wood flooring, if the floor is slightly uneven after installing the lower block 2, a level can be used to measure the difference between the upper surface of the lower block 2 and the standard height. During the installation of the upper block 3, holes 11 of the corresponding depth can be drilled in the wood flooring 1, or shims of the corresponding thickness can be placed between the wood flooring 1 and the upper block 3 to ensure that all wood flooring surfaces are flat.
[0044] In summary, this solution presents a single-point insertion wood flooring structure. During wood flooring production, only the upright sidewall structure is required, eliminating the need for the interlocking structure of traditional wood flooring. Therefore, it significantly improves production efficiency, increases the utilization rate of wood or raw materials, and reduces production process requirements and procedures. Furthermore, the bottom of the wood flooring in this solution can be flat, eliminating the need for other grooving or other installation structures. This also facilitates the improvement and enhancement of quality indicators of the wood flooring, such as density, moisture resistance, and wear resistance.
[0045] The main body of the wooden floor 1 is installed by interlocking the upper and lower blocks 3 and 2. At the same time, the positioning template 4 is used for installation during the ground layout and the installation of the bottom of the wooden floor, which greatly improves the installation accuracy and ensures the precise alignment between the upper and lower blocks. Therefore, the overall installation is accurate and the construction is convenient.
[0046] Similarly, when replacement and maintenance are required, since the adjacent wooden floorboards 1 do not have a nested structure, each wooden floorboard 1 can be replaced individually. Specifically, you only need to hold the side of the corresponding wooden floorboard 1 and pull it vertically upward. The upper connecting block 3 at the bottom of the wooden floorboard can be quickly separated from the lower connecting block 2 on the ground, so replacement and maintenance are extremely convenient.
[0047] This solution is a single-point insertion method for installing wood flooring. The positioning template 4 is used to install the lower joint 2 to the ground and the upper joint 3 to the bottom of the wood flooring 1. Therefore, the positioning template 4 improves installation accuracy, reduces the difficulty of wood flooring installation, and greatly enhances installation efficiency. The interlocking structure allows for rapid sequential installation. For large installation sites, after the lower joint 2 is laid out, multiple workers can start installation from different positions, significantly improving installation efficiency. While reducing construction difficulty, it also greatly improves the flatness of the installation, the tightness of the flooring joints, and the aesthetics, thus having excellent promotional value.
