[0029] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the floor of the present invention;

[0030] In the figure, 1 is the upper wear-resistant layer, 2 is the color film layer, 3 is the base material layer, and 4 is the lower wear-resistant layer. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] Combine the following Figure 1 The present invention is described in detail with reference to the following specific embodiments. It is obvious that the terms about directions in the following embodiments, such as "up", "down", "left", "right", etc., are based on Figure 1 The orientation shown is or is the orientation when the floor is laid, and does not represent the orientation when the product is placed.

[0032] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that the floor of the present invention includes an upper wear-resistant layer, a color film layer, a substrate layer, and a lower wear-resistant layer from top to bottom. For the sake of clarity in the description of the specific embodiments, the thickness of the substrate layer in the following embodiments of the present invention is 4 mm, the thickness of the upper wear-resistant layer and the lower wear-resistant layer is 0.2 mm, and the thickness of the color film layer is 0.2 mm. The thickness of each layer is related to the needs of the user and is not a technical feature that affects the effect of the present invention. Therefore, it is only used to demonstrate the specific embodiments and is not regarded as a limitation on the scope of protection. The thickness of each layer of the comparative floor is the same.

[0033] The color film layer is mainly used to color the floor. The color film layer is divided into conventional color film and online color film. The online color film is a color film with black marks. The floor color film layer uses color film as the base material. Through the laminating technology, the color film is covered on the specific layer of the floor to achieve the purpose of decorating the floor. In addition, the color film layer also has the function of moisture-proof. The floor color film can be made of materials such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyester, matte coating agent, PVC, etc.

[0034] The wear-resistant layer is mainly used to protect the color film and the base material layer from wear and corrosion after long-term use. The wear-resistant layer is divided into a smooth surface and an embossed surface. The thickness of different wear-resistant layers can be different, and different oils can be used. The wear-resistant layer can be made of materials such as melamine resin and aluminum oxide and polypropylene resin (PP resin).

[0035] The color film layer and the wear-resistant layer are both conventional industrial products. In the production stage of the floor, the finished products on the market can be used directly without special processing. For the sake of clarity in the description of the specific embodiments, the color film layer in the embodiment of the present invention adopts a line-pair flower color film, and the color film material is purchased from Taichang Color Art Industrial Co., Ltd. (the material is PVC material). The upper wear-resistant layer and the lower wear-resistant layer in the embodiment of the present invention are purchased from Jiangsu Huaxin New Materials Co., Ltd. (the material is PETG, i.e. polyethylene terephthalate-1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol ester material). Since the color film layer and the wear-resistant layer are only used to perform their conventional functions in the present invention, other commercially available color film layers and wear-resistant layers can also be used. Therefore, the color film layer and the wear-resistant layer in the embodiment are only used to demonstrate the specific embodiments, and are not regarded as limiting the scope of protection.

[0036] In the following embodiments, the ingredients of the base material layer of the floor are calculated by weight as follows: 50-100 parts of copolymer PP resin (i.e., copolymer polypropylene resin), 10-50 parts of LLDPE resin (i.e., linear low-density polyethylene resin), 2-10 parts of compatibilizer, 10-20 parts of toughening agent, 50-300 parts of inorganic powder, 1-3 parts of lubricant, 1-5 parts of coupling agent, 0.5-2 parts of antioxidant, and 0.1-1 parts of nucleating agent.

[0037] The copolymer PP resin is a resin material, which is mainly used for shaping and mixing with other materials; the inorganic powder is mainly used as a filler, which can reduce costs and improve product stability; the compatibilizer is used to increase the interface bonding force between the resin and the inorganic powder; the toughening agent is used to increase the toughness and low-temperature performance of the floor; the lubricant is mainly used to improve the lubrication of the mechanical surface and the lubrication between the molecular chains of the material; the antioxidant is used to improve the resin oxidation phenomenon during the processing and later use; the nucleating agent is used to refine the grain size and improve warping shrinkage.

[0038] In summary, when manufacturing the floor, the main process of the preparation method of the substrate layer is: copolymer PP resin, LLDPE resin, compatibilizer, toughening agent, inorganic powder, lubricant, coupling agent, antioxidant, nucleating agent form a mixture, stir to fully mix the materials, and then extrude continuously through a twin-screw extruder, and control the thickness of the product through a thickness-setting roller to obtain a substrate layer. Then, the color film and wear-resistant layer are coated, and the surface of the substrate layer is pressed out with an embossing roller, and after roller traction and cooling, the parameters are set by the shearing machine, and the edges are trimmed and cut according to specifications to obtain a semi-finished product, and then the semi-finished product is coated and tempered, cured at 24°C for one day, and sliced, trimmed, and chamfered in turn to obtain a finished floor.

[0039] Specifically, the method for preparing the floor comprises the following steps:

[0040] S1: taking the raw materials of the substrate layer, putting them into a high-speed mixer for hot mixing, and then switching to a low-speed mixer for stirring and cooling to perform cold mixing; obtaining a premix of the substrate layer;

[0041] S2: putting the substrate layer premix obtained in step S1 into a twin-screw extruder, plasticizing and then extruding it, and then moving it to a thickness setting roller to adjust the substrate thickness to obtain a substrate layer;

[0042] S3: Then, a color film layer and an upper wear-resistant layer are sequentially coated on the base material layer in layers, and a lower wear-resistant layer is coated; an embossing roller is used to emboss to form a semi-finished flooring product;

[0043] S4: After the semi-finished floor is coated and tempered, it is punched, sliced, and trimmed to prepare the finished floor.

[0044] The high-speed mixer has a fast speed and can generate heat through stirring friction. The low-speed mixer is used for water cooling to avoid plasticization, agglomeration and high-temperature decomposition.

[0045] The upper wear-resistant layer, the lower wear-resistant layer and the color film layer can be synchronously bonded to the substrate using rollers, and the color film layer is compounded on the substrate layer by a traction roller and a flattening roller; the upper wear-resistant layer and the lower wear-resistant layer are compounded on the color film layer or under the substrate layer by a rubber roller. After the upper wear-resistant layer, the lower wear-resistant layer and the color film layer are compounded / bonded, the width of the substrate can be adjusted by the side knives on both sides, and the temperature of the plate can be reduced by air cooling, and the length of the plate can be controlled by an infrared cutting knife, and then the semi-finished flooring can be embossed. In the embodiment, the thickness of the upper wear-resistant layer and the lower wear-resistant layer is less than 0.3 mm, so the chamfering step is not used.

[0046] In step S1, the hot mix temperature of the high-speed mixer is 110°C to 180°C, the stirring speed is 300r / min to 400r / min (r / min is rpm), and the stirring time is 10min to 30min; the cold mix temperature of the low-speed mixer is 40°C to 60°C, the stirring speed is 100r / min to 200r / min, and the stirring time is 3min to 8min.

[0047] In step S2, the twin-screw extruder has six functional sections, which are the first zone feeding section, which can continuously feed; the second zone melting section, which can heat the material as a whole to form a molten state; the third zone plasticizing section, which plasticizes the material, thereby reducing the hardness of the material, improving the toughness of the material, and increasing the ductility and plasticity of the material; the fourth zone exhaust section, which can discharge the excess pores in the melt; the fifth zone mixing section, which fully mixes the raw materials; the sixth zone extrusion section, which is provided with a die, and the material inside the twin-screw extruder is extruded to form a floor base shape. The temperatures of the screw twin-screw zones are set to 190-120°C for zone 1, 195-190°C for zone 2, 190-180°C for zone 3, 185-175°C for zone 4, 180-170°C for zone 5, and 170-160°C for zone 6. Other settings of the twin-screw extruder include: the confluence core temperature is 180°C and the pressure is 0.1MPa. The main machine speed is 19.6r / min, the current is 220A; the feeding speed is 21r / min, the current is 0.2A; the die temperature is 220℃, and the extrusion width is 1050mm~1350mm.

[0048] The feeding section of the twin-screw extruder can continuously feed the material, the melting section can heat the material as a whole to form a molten state, the plasticizing section plasticizes the material, thereby reducing the hardness of the material, improving the toughness of the material, increasing the ductility and plasticity of the material, the exhaust section discharges the excess pores, the mixing section fully mixes it, and the extrusion section extrude the material inside the twin-screw extruder. The die of the twin-screw extruder can fix the size of the extruded material's width, thickness and other elements, so that the material takes shape.

[0049] Wherein, in step S2, the temperature of the upper and lower rollers of the thickness setting roller is 255°C.

[0050] In step S3, the upper and lower roller temperatures of the coating roller are 235° C. and 230° C. respectively, for laminating the upper wear-resistant layer and the color film; the upper and lower roller temperatures of the bottom coating roller are 225° C. for laminating the lower wear-resistant layer.

[0051] In step S4, the semi-finished product coating weight is 15 g, and water bath tempering is adopted, the tempering temperature is 35° C., and the curing is carried out for 24 hours.
