DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0060] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0061] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or device referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. "Multiple" means two or more, and at least one means one, two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined. The terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two devices or the interaction relationship between two devices, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined. The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.
[0062] In the description of the present application, the first direction and the second direction are introduced in order to more clearly describe the structure of each component in the surface covering assembly 10 of the embodiment of the present application and the relative position relationship after installation (laying). In the drawings of the present application, the arrow marked with Z indicates the first direction Z, which usually corresponds to the thickness direction of the surface covering assembly 10. When the surface covering assembly 10 is laid on the ground, the first direction Z corresponds to the vertical direction. In the drawings of the present application, the arrow marked with X indicates the second direction X, which is based on the first direction Z and corresponds to the direction perpendicular to the first direction Z. Specifically, when the surface covering assembly 10 is laid, the second direction X corresponds to the arrangement direction of an adjacent first plate 100 and a second plate 200. It can be understood that the second direction X of an adjacent pair of first plates 100 and second plates 200 can be different from the second direction X of another adjacent pair of first plates 100 and second plates 200.
[0063] As an introduction to the present application, the main connection method for flooring at present is the mortise and tenon connection, that is, the tenons and tenons between the boards are embedded in each other to achieve a mutual locking connection between the boards. This connection method lacks stability, especially when the boards expand, the connection is easy to loosen. In addition, there is also a connection method in which a fillet is provided between the boards. In this method, an assembly groove is provided in the middle of the opposite end faces of the boards. Before the boards are embedded in each other, the fillet is first arranged in the assembly groove, and then the boards are embedded in each other for combination. This connection method increases the difficulty of assembly, and after laying, the fillet is buried inside the adjacent boards and cannot be observed from the outside. When the boards need to be replaced, due to the effect of the internal fillet, it is not easy to disassemble the adjacent boards, and destructive dismantling may be required, which affects the secondary use.
[0064] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a surface covering assembly 10, which can be used for covering and decorating surfaces such as the ground or walls. For example, the surface covering assembly 10 corresponds to a part of the floor, specifically, it can be a combined structural unit for laying the floor. The laying of the floor is completed by laying a plurality of surface covering assemblies 10 to achieve overall coverage, decoration and protection of the ground. The surface covering assembly 10 uses a locking structure (locking member 300) to lock the force between the plate and the plate (the first plate 100 and the second plate 200) in the first direction Z, and uses the interaction between the plate and the plate to lock the force in the second direction X, so that the connection is achieved through mutual cooperation. This can improve the stability of the connection on the one hand, and improve the user experience on the other hand.
[0065] See also Figure 1The surface covering assembly 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a first plate 100, a second plate 200 and a locking member 300. The first plate 100 and the second plate 200 are the plate structures of the surface covering assembly 10, which are used to be connected to each other to cover and decorate the surface to be covered on the ground. The locking member 300 is used to lock the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 so that the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 can be stably connected.
[0066] It should be noted that the surface covering component 10 has an unassembled state and an assembled state. The unassembled state is the state in which the surface covering component 10 is not installed on the surface to be covered. In the unassembled state, the first plate 100, the second plate 200 and the locking member 300 are not assembled and connected to each other, and installation and laying are required to make the first plate 100, the second plate 200 and the locking member 300 combined with each other. The assembled state is the state in which the surface covering component 10 is installed on the surface to be covered. In the assembled state, the first plate 100, the second plate 200 and the locking member 300 are assembled and connected to each other. It can be understood that the surface covering component 10 may be in an assembled state or in an unassembled state. In order to facilitate the description of the structure and assembly relationship of each component in the surface covering component 10, the following description is mainly based on the assembled state.
[0067] Please also read Figures 1 to 4 The first plate 100 is provided with a first edge portion 110, and the second plate 200 is provided with a second edge portion 210. The first edge portion 110, the second edge portion 210 and the locking member 300 cooperate with each other, so that the first plate 100 can be installed on at least one side of the second plate 200, and the second plate 200 can also be installed on at least one side of the first plate 100. Among them, the first edge portion 110 is an assembly structure arranged on at least one side edge of the first plate 100, and the second edge portion 210 is an assembly structure arranged on at least one side edge of the second plate 200. Optionally, the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 are both integral structures, and can be integrally processed and formed respectively. After forming, at least one side edge of the first plate 100 is the first edge portion 110, and at least one side edge of the second plate 200 is the second edge portion 210.
[0068] Specifically, please combine Fig.12, a limiting groove 120 is provided on one side of the first edge portion 110 in the first direction Z, and the limiting groove 120 is a groove formed by being recessed from one side of the first edge portion 110 to the other side along the first direction Z. The second edge portion 210 includes a limiting structure 211, which is provided on one side of the first edge portion 110 in the first direction Z in the assembled state, and is partially located in the limiting groove 120. Thus, a part of the structure of the second edge portion 210 is embedded in the limiting groove 120, so as to limit the first edge portion 110 in the second direction X. The limiting structure 211 and the limiting groove 120 cooperate with each other, so that the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210 can be mutually limited in the second direction X, so that the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 are locked with each other in the second direction X. In the second direction X, forces are applied to the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 respectively. Due to the cooperation between the limiting structure 211 and the limiting groove 120, the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 can be locked with each other and thus will not be easily separated.
[0069] Please combine Fig.13 A slot 400 is formed between the second edge portion 210 and the first edge portion 110, and the slot 400 is formed by the first end face of the first edge portion 110 and the second end face of the second edge portion 210. The first end face is the face of the first edge portion facing the second edge portion 210, and the second end face is the face of the second edge portion 210 opposite to the first end face. The slot 400 is located on the side of the first edge portion 110 away from the limiting structure 211, and a notch 410 is provided toward the side away from the limiting structure 211. In other words, part of the structure of the first edge portion 110 is located between the slot 400 and the limiting structure 211. Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Fig.13 , a portion of the structure of the first edge portion 110 is located below the slot 400, the limiting structure 211 is located below the portion of the structure of the first edge portion 110, and the slot 400 is provided at a side facing away from the limiting structure 211. And the bottom of the slot 400 can be formed by combining the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210 (such as Figure 3 ), or it may be formed by a partial structure of the first edge portion 110 (such as Figure 4 ).
[0070] Please also read Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The locking member 300 can be embedded in the slot 400 and exposed from the notch 410. The locking member 300 abuts against the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210 to press the first edge portion 110 on the limiting structure 211. In the direction perpendicular to the first direction Z and the second direction X, the locking member 300 and the slot 400 are generally in the shape of a long strip. The locking member 300 is embedded in the slot 400. When observed from above the notch 410 of the slot 400, a part of the structure of the locking member 300 exposed from the notch 410 can be observed. Therefore, the locking member 300 can be used to fill the gap formed by the slot 400 between the first plate 100 and the second plate 200, and can play a role in beautifying the seam, so it is particularly suitable for floor products with imitation stone textures to enhance the user experience.
[0071] It can be understood that, by providing the limiting groove 120 on one side of the first edge portion 110 along the first direction Z, in the assembled state, the limiting structure 211 of the second edge portion 210 is arranged on one side of the first edge 110 in the first direction Z, and a part of the limiting structure 211 is embedded in the limiting groove 120. Thus, the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210 can be mutually limited in the second direction X by the cooperation of the limiting structure 211 and the limiting groove 120, thereby realizing the mutual locking of the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 in the second direction X. By embedding the locking member 300 into the slot 400 formed between the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210, the locking member 300 can be used to abut against the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210 to apply pressure to the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210, and the first edge portion 110 is pressed against the limiting structure 211, so as to achieve the locking of the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 in the first direction Z, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection. By embedding the locking member 300 in the slot 400 and being arranged to be exposed from the notch 410 of the slot 400, the locking member 300 can be used to fill the gap between the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 formed by the slot 400, playing the role of filling and beautifying the seam, and it is also convenient to remove the locking member 300 from the notch 410, so as to facilitate the removal and replacement of the first plate 100 and / or the second plate 200, thereby improving the user experience.
[0072] Please also read Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7In some embodiments, support portions 320 are provided on both sides of the locking member 300. The support portion 320 on one side is configured to abut against the first edge portion 110, and the support portion 320 on the other side is configured to abut against the second edge portion 210. Specifically, in the assembled state, the support portions 320 are provided on both sides of the locking member 300 in the second direction X, and the support portions 320 are configured to protrude toward both sides of the locking member 300, so as to abut against the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210 respectively, and the support portions 320 are used to apply a force to the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210. In this way, on the one hand, the force of the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210 in the second direction X is locked, and on the other hand, the first edge portion 110 can be pressed more stably against the limiting structure 211 to ensure the stability of the overall structure.
[0073] In some embodiments, the locking member 300 is provided with an escape groove 360, and the escape groove 360 is located between the supporting portions 320 on both sides. The supporting portion 320 is configured to be squeezed by the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210, and can be elastically deformed toward the escape groove 360. By providing the escape groove 360 in the locking member 300 and arranging the escape groove 360 between the supporting portions 320, the elastic performance of the locking member 300 can be improved, so that the supporting portion 320 has space to deform when being squeezed. Such a configuration can, on the one hand, reduce the difficulty of installing the locking member 300, and the elastic deformation of the supporting portion 320 toward the escape groove 360 can facilitate the locking member 300 to be installed into the slot 400 from the notch 410; on the other hand, it can improve the elastic supporting performance of the supporting portion 320, so that it can more stably abut the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210, thereby more stably applying a force to the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210, and ensuring the stability of the connection between the first plate 100 and the second plate 200.
[0074] Optionally, the locking member 300 includes a base 310, and the supporting portion 320 is connected to both sides of the base 310 to form an integral structure with the base 310. Figure 5 The support portion 320 and the base portion 310 are surrounded by a relief groove 360, and the relief groove 360 is located between the support portion 320 and the base portion 310. This arrangement allows the relief groove 360 to be located inside the support portion 320, and when the support portion 320 is squeezed by the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210, it can be elastically deformed toward the inside of the relief groove 360.
[0075] Optionally, refer again to Figure 7The avoidance groove 360 is provided in the middle area of the locking member 300, that is, the avoidance groove 360 can be provided on the base 310. This arrangement also enables the avoidance groove 360 to be located inside the support portion 320, and when the support portion 320 is squeezed by the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210, it can also be elastically deformed toward the inside of the avoidance groove 360.
[0076] Please also read Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the first edge portion 110 includes a first boss 111, the second edge portion 210 includes a second boss 212 that can be arranged opposite to the first boss 111 in the second direction X, and the notch 410 is arranged between the first boss 111 and the second boss 212; the first boss 111 is arranged to be pressed on the support portion 320 located on one side, and the second boss 212 is arranged to be pressed on the support portion 320 located on the other side, so as to limit the locking member 300 in the slot 400. In the assembled state, the first boss 111 and the second boss 212 are arranged opposite to each other. When the locking member 300 is inserted into the slot 400, the first boss 111 and the second boss 212 can be respectively limited above the support portions 320 on both sides, so as to limit the locking member 300 in the slot 400, so that it will not be squeezed out from the notch 410 by the first plate 100 and the second plate 200, thereby maintaining the stability of the connection between the first plate 100 and the second plate 200. And because the first boss 111 and the second boss 212 are respectively pressed on the corresponding support parts 320, the support parts 320 are subjected to downward pressure, which can further press the first edge part 110 tightly against the limiting structure 211 of the second edge part 210, thereby enhancing the mutual locking effect of the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 in the first direction Z.
[0077] Please also read Figures 2 to 8 In some embodiments, the locking member 300 further includes a sealing portion 330, which is connected to the base 310 of the locking member 300. The sealing portion 330 is configured to abut between the first boss 111 and the second boss 212 and seal the slot 410. The sealing portion 330 seals the slot 410, thereby preventing external dust, liquid and other dirt from entering the slot 400, reducing the intrusion of dirt into the gap between the first plate 100 and the second plate 200, and also beautifying the slot 400 by using the sealing portion 330, that is, beautifying the gap between the first plate 100 and the second plate 200, thereby improving the user experience. In particular, the surface covering component can be used for imitation stone texture flooring, using the sealing portion 330 of the locking member 300 to imitate the beautifying agent between the plates, improving the aesthetics and the laying effect.
[0078] Specifically, the sealing part 330 can be arranged above the base 310 and the supporting part 320, and the base 310, the supporting parts 320 on both sides of the base 310, and the sealing part 330 above the base 310 are connected as an integrated structure. In the assembled state, the supporting part 320 abuts against the first edge part 110 and the second edge part 210 respectively, and is located below the first boss 111 and the second boss 212, and the sealing part 330 is arranged between the first boss 111 and the second boss 212, and abuts against the first boss 111 and the second boss 212 respectively. In this way, the sealing of the gap between the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 can be effectively maintained.
[0079] Please refer to the Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the support portion 320 is connected to both sides of the base 310 and is surrounded by the base 310 to form an avoidance groove 360; buffer portions 340 are provided on both sides of the sealing portion 330, and the buffer portion 340 extends from the sealing portion 330 to the avoidance groove 360, and the buffer portion 340 and the support portion 320 are spaced apart from each other; the support portion 320 is configured to be squeezed by the first boss 111 and the second boss 212, and can be elastically deformed toward the buffer portion 340 and contact the buffer portion 340. By providing a buffer portion 340 extending toward the avoidance groove 360 on both sides of the sealing portion 330, on the one hand, the sealing portion 330 can be strengthened by the buffer portion 340, thereby improving the structural strength of the sealing portion 330 and thus improving the sealing effect; on the other hand, when the support portion 320 elastically deforms into the avoidance groove 360, it can contact the buffer portion 340, and then the buffer portion 340 can buffer the deformation of the support portion 320, thereby reducing the situation where the support portion 320 fails to rebound due to excessive deformation, thereby ensuring the supporting effect of the support portion 320.
[0080] In some embodiments, the buffer portion 340 and the base portion 310 are spaced apart from each other, and the buffer portion 340 is configured to be squeezed by the support portion 320 and can be elastically deformed toward the base portion 310. This improves the buffering effect, especially when the locking member 300 is inserted into the slot 400 from the notch 410, the gap between the buffer portion 340 and the base portion 310 can ensure that the support portion 320 is squeezed by the first boss 111 and the second boss 212 to have enough deformation, so that it can be more smoothly inserted into the slot 400. At the same time, the elastic performance of the buffer portion 340 can also be improved. The reverse force of the buffer portion 340 on the support portion 320 can be used to assist the support portion 320 to better rebound and reset, fully ensuring the support effect of the support portion 320 on the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210 on both sides, and further ensuring the connection stability of the first plate 100 and the second plate 200.
[0081] Please also read Fig. 9 and Fig.10, in the second direction X, the slot 400 has a first dimension L1, the first boss 111 and the second boss 212 have a second dimension L2, the support portions 320 on both sides of the locking member 300 have a third dimension L3, and the sealing portion 330 has a fourth dimension L4, satisfying: L2≤L4≤L1≤L3. Among them, the first dimension L1 is the spacing dimension of the contact portions of the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210 with the support portion 320 in the assembled state; the second dimension L2 is the spacing dimension of the contact portions of the first boss 111 and the second boss 212 with the sealing portion 330 in the assembled state; the third dimension L3 is the spacing dimension of the contact portions of the support portions 320 on both sides of the locking member 300 with the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210 in the non-assembled state; the fourth dimension L4 is the spacing dimension of the contact portions of the sealing portion 330 with the first boss 111 and the second boss 212 in the non-assembled state. The above four dimensions can be measured by conventional dimension measurement methods such as vernier calipers and micrometers. The above four dimensions are set to satisfy L2≤L4≤L1≤L3, so that when the surface covering component 10 is in an assembled state, the locking piece 300 is in a state of being slightly compressed, and can be stuck in the slot 400 and squeeze the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure.
[0082] In some embodiments, the locking member 300 is made of an elastic material, wherein the elastic material refers to a material that can undergo reversible deformation after being subjected to a force and can return to its original shape and size after the external force is removed. For example, the locking member 300 can be made of materials such as rubber, silicone, TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), or can also be made of metal materials with elastic deformation ability such as aluminum alloy.
[0083] See also Figures 3 to 5 In some embodiments, the locking member 300 includes an upper surface 350, and the upper surface 350 is configured to be exposed to the notch 410, and the upper surface 350 is configured to be a concave surface. By configuring the upper surface 350 of the locking member 300 to be a concave surface, dirt falling on the locking member 300 can be gathered in the concave part, reducing the possibility of entering the slot 400 from both sides of the upper surface. In addition, configuring the upper surface 350 to be a concave surface can also improve the aesthetics of the gap between the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 after filling, and improve the user experience.
[0084] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the locking member 300 further includes a lower surface 370, a portion of which is pressed on the first edge portion 110, and another portion of which is pressed on the second edge portion 210. This arrangement can make the first plate 100, the second plate 200 and the locking member 300 more stable after assembly.
[0085] Please also read Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 In some embodiments, the second edge portion 210 includes a body 213, and the body 213 is configured to be able to enclose a slot 400 with the first edge portion 110, that is, the body 213 is a partial structure on the second edge portion 210 for enclosing the slot 400 with the first edge portion 110, and the limiting structure 211 is connected to the side of the body 213 close to the first plate 100. Among them, the limiting structure 211 includes a connecting block 2111 and a limiting block 2112, and the connecting block 2111 is connected to the body 213 and extends from the body 213 along the second direction X. The connecting block 2111 is configured to be able to clamp a portion of the first edge portion 110 with the locking member 300 in the first direction Z. That is to say, in the assembled state, in the first direction Z, at least a portion of the first edge portion 110 is located between the locking member 300 and the connecting block 2111, and the locking member 300 applies pressure to the partial structure of the first edge portion 110 to press it on the connecting block 2111. The limiting block 2112 is connected to a side of the connecting block 2111 away from the body 213, and the limiting block 2112 is embedded in the limiting groove 120. The limiting block 2112 is configured to clamp a portion of the first edge portion 110 with the locking member 300 in the second direction X. That is, in the assembled state, at least a portion of the first edge portion 110 is located between the limiting block 2112 and the locking member 300 in the second direction X, and the locking member 300 applies pressure to the portion of the structure of the first edge portion 110 to press it against the limiting block 2112.
[0086] By providing a connection block 2111 and arranging it on a side of the first edge portion 110 away from the locking member 300 in the first direction Z, the first edge portion 110 can be pressed against the connection block 2111 by the locking member 300, so as to achieve locking of the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 in the first direction Z. By providing a limiting block 2112 on a side of the connection block 2111 away from the body 213, the limiting block 2112 can be used to cooperate with the limiting groove 120 provided on the first edge portion 110, so as to achieve mutual locking of the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 in the second direction X.
[0087] Please combine Fig.11 , Fig.13 and Fig.14In some embodiments, the limiting block 2112 has a first limiting surface 2113, which is located on a side of the limiting block 2112 close to the body 213, and the first limiting surface 2113 is attached to the first side wall 121 of the limiting groove 120, and the angle α between the first limiting surface 2113 and the second direction X satisfies: α≤90°. By controlling the angle α within 90°, the force applied by the first limiting surface 2113 to the first edge portion 110 is entirely or partially along the second direction X, so that the first edge portion 110 can be limited more stably, and the stability of the locking between the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 in the second direction X is improved. In particular, when the angle α is less than 90°, a part of the force applied by the first limiting surface 2113 to the first edge portion 110 is directed to the connecting block 2111, which can generate a small amount of pressure on the first edge portion 110 toward the connecting block 2111, thereby improving the connection stability of the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 in the first direction Z. Optionally, the angle α can be any angle value such as 90°, 85°, 80°, 75°, 70°, 65°, 60°, or a range value between any two angle values.
[0088] In some embodiments, the body 213 has an assembly surface 2131, and the assembly surface 2131 is connected to the side of the connection block 2111 away from the limit block 2112, and the angle β between the assembly surface 2131 and the second direction X satisfies: β≤α. Specifically, the assembly surface 2131 is the surface of the body 213 opposite to the first limit surface 2113, and the angle β between the assembly surface 2131 and the second direction X is set to β≤α, so that the first edge portion 110 can be more easily embedded in the assembly groove 220 between the assembly surface 2131 and the first limit surface 2113. Please refer to Fig.11 , Fig.14 , because when β<α, the angle β of the assembly surface 2131 is smaller than the angle α of the first limiting surface 2113, that is, the assembly surface 2131 is more inclined than the first limiting surface 2113, which makes the opening of the assembly groove 220 on the side of the assembly surface 2131 larger, so that the first edge portion 110 is easier to be installed in the assembly groove 220. Fig.15 , the second plate 200 can be laid on the surface to be covered, and then the first plate 100 can be parallel to the surface to be covered and vertically placed in the assembly groove 220 along the direction indicated by the arrow between the first plate 100 and the second plate 200, and then according to the angle α, a small translation adjustment to the left can complete the assembly of the first plate 100 and the second plate 200. This arrangement can greatly reduce the difficulty of installing the surface covering assembly 10 and improve the installation efficiency.
[0089] Please refer again Figures 11 to 15In some embodiments, the assembly groove 220 is formed by the assembly surface 2131, the connecting block 2111, and the first limiting surface 2113, and the first edge portion 110 can be partially disposed in the assembly groove 220. In the first direction Z, the slot 400 is located above the assembly groove 220; in the second direction X, the slot 400 is at least partially located on the side of the assembly groove 220 away from the limiting groove 120. In this way, in the assembled state, the locking member 300 can more stably press the first edge portion 110 on the second edge portion 210 to maintain the installation stability of the surface covering assembly 10.
[0090] Please also read Fig.12 , Fig.13 and Fig.14 In some embodiments, the limiting block 2112 has a second limiting surface 2114, which is arranged opposite to the first limiting surface 2113, and is attached to the second side wall 122 of the limiting groove 120, and the second side wall 122 and the first side wall 121 are arranged opposite to each other, and the second limiting surface 2114 is arranged as an arc surface. Setting the second limiting surface 2114 as an arc surface can increase the structural strength of the limiting block 2112 and improve the service life of the surface covering assembly 10 on the one hand; on the other hand, it can reduce the difficulty of assembling the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 and improve the installation efficiency.
[0091] Please also read Fig.16 , Fig.17 and Fig.18 In some embodiments, the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 have the same structure, and both are provided with a first edge portion 110 and a second edge portion 210, and the first edge portion 110 and the second edge portion 210 are arranged opposite to each other. In this way, the surface covering assembly 10 can be installed by using only the same plate structure and the locking member 300, which reduces the number of component specifications and further reduces the difficulty of assembly. In addition, the reduction in component specifications also reduces the difficulty of processing and reduces the packaging cost.
[0092] Specifically, see Fig.19 In some embodiments, the main body of the panel is roughly rectangular and has four sides. Among every two opposite sides, one side is provided with a first edge portion 110 and the other side is provided with a second edge portion 210. This arrangement can meet the needs of paving a large surface area.
[0093] Please also read Figure 20 to Figure 23In some embodiments, the first plate 100 has a first side 101 and a second side 102 facing each other, and the first side 101 and the second side 102 are both provided with a first edge portion 110; the second plate 200 has a third side 201 and a fourth side 202 facing each other, and the third side 201 and the fourth side 202 are both provided with a second edge portion 210. In this way, the first plate 100 and the second plate 200 are alternately arranged, and the locking member 300 is embedded in the slot 400 between the adjacent first plate 100 and the second plate 200, so that the surface can be covered.
[0094] Correspondingly, the embodiment of the present application also provides a floor, which may include the surface covering assembly 10 of any of the above-mentioned embodiments, and thus may have all the technical features and technical effects of the above-mentioned surface covering assembly 10, which will not be repeated here.

The floor may include a plurality of the above-mentioned surface covering assemblies 10, and the specific number may be determined based on the actual ground area to be laid and the area that a single surface covering assembly 10 can cover. Among them, the area of a single surface covering assembly 10 may be the area of a structure obtained by assembling a first plate 100 and a second plate 200 through a locking member 300.
