Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ceramic tiles, in particular to a ceramic tile with a jointing structure simulating a bamboo joint. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of modern building decoration industry, ceramic tiles, as an important ground and wall decoration material, are widely used due to their aesthetic appearance, durability, and easy cleaning. In the process of ceramic tile paving, how to achieve fast, accurate and firm connection between adjacent ceramic tiles while ensuring the overall flatness, stability after paving and facilitating later maintenance has always been a technical problem of concern in the industry. Traditional ceramic tile paving methods mainly rely on cement mortar or ceramic tile glue for sticking, supplemented by jointing agent for filling. Although this method is widely used, it still has many shortcomings in actual construction, such as high technical requirements for workers, low paving efficiency, long curing time, easy occurrence of hollowing and falling, and difficulty in maintenance and replacement once problems occur, often requiring destruction of surrounding ceramic tiles.

[0003] For example, patent CN217924582U discloses a layered ceramic tile splicing structure, which includes a ceramic tile body, the ceramic tile body includes a ceramic tile bottom layer, a ceramic tile middle layer and a ceramic tile surface layer, and the ceramic tile bottom layer, the ceramic tile middle layer and the ceramic tile surface layer are fixed by adhesion. The ceramic tile middle layer includes a middle layer main body, and positioning grooves are formed between the middle layer main body and the ceramic tile bottom layer and the ceramic tile surface layer around the middle layer main body. Positioning columns are fixedly connected at the corners of the positioning grooves, and the positioning columns and the ceramic tile bottom layer are in an integral structure. Gaps are present between the positioning columns and the ceramic tile surface layer, and the gap height is greater than the thickness of the splicing card. Splicing cards are installed at the corners of the ceramic tile middle layer. By designing the positioning columns on the ceramic tile middle layer and designing the combined splicing card, accurate positioning and positioning between multiple adjacent positioning columns can be achieved, and the appearance of the ceramic tile paving is further ensured, and the work efficiency is greatly improved.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned product has the following problems in use. Due to the setting of the internal positioning columns, the ceramic tiles are only maintained by simple friction force during use. In the long-term use process, under the action of thermal expansion and contraction caused by temperature change, slight settlement of the base layer or continuous load generated by personnel walking, relative sliding in the horizontal direction or lifting and falling in the vertical direction easily occurs, resulting in uneven paving surface, large gaps or even ceramic tile damage. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to provide a ceramic tile with a jointing structure simulating a bamboo joint to solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a ceramic tile with a bamboo-joint mortise and tenon interlocking structure, comprising a ceramic tile body, the ceramic tile body being integrally sintered from ceramic material, the ceramic tile body being defined to have a longitudinal direction along the length direction and a transverse direction perpendicular to it, and the surface of the ceramic tile body being a curved structure; The tile body has an arc-shaped curved surface on one longitudinal side and a bamboo-shaped arc protrusion on the other longitudinal side to cover the arc-shaped curved surface of adjacent tiles. The bamboo-shaped arc protrusion extends out of the tile body, and the thickness of the tile body gradually increases from the arc-shaped curved surface towards the bamboo-shaped arc protrusion. An arc-shaped water-blocking groove is provided on the back of the bamboo-shaped arc protrusion. When two adjacent tiles are installed together in the longitudinal direction, there is an elastic buffer gap between the longitudinal curved surface and the bamboo-joint curved protrusion, and the size of the buffer gap is 2-10mm. The tile body has a tenon structure and a mortise structure extending longitudinally on both sides of its horizontal direction. When two tiles are horizontally spliced ​​together, the tenon structure and the mortise structure form a snap-fit ​​structure to achieve horizontal self-locking.

[0007] Furthermore: the tenon structure includes a main tenon body and a limiting shoulder, and the main tenon body has a first stepped surface on its side; the mortise structure includes a mortise extending outward from one side of the tile body, and the bottom of the mortise has a main receiving groove adapted to the first stepped surface, and a limiting step is provided between the side of the tile body and the mortise for horizontal contact with the limiting shoulder.

[0008] Furthermore: the dimensions of the tile body are 100*300mm.

[0009] Furthermore: the surface of the ceramic tile body has an arc-shaped curved surface structure, and the height of the arc-shaped curved surface undulation is 3-50mm.

[0010] Furthermore: a second stepped surface is provided between the limiting shoulder and the lateral side of the tile body; the surface of the first stepped surface has a downwardly recessed groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the ceramic tile body has a first through hole and a second through hole at its longitudinal ends for inserting and fixing external metal clips, and the first through hole and the second through hole are vertically connected.

[0012] Furthermore: the tile body, tenon structure, mortise structure, and curved surface (and the bamboo-joint-like curved protrusion) are all integrally sintered from the same material as the tile body.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The bamboo-joint mortise and tenon interlocking structure of this application is achieved by setting an arc-shaped curved surface on one longitudinal side of the tile body and an arc-shaped protrusion resembling bamboo joints on the other longitudinal side of the tile body. When two adjacent tiles are laid in the longitudinal direction, the arc-shaped protrusion covering the arc-shaped curved surface of the other tile achieves a stable longitudinal splicing. In the transverse direction, a snap-locking structure is formed between the tenon structure and the mortise structure to achieve transverse self-locking. The mortise and tenon interlocking structure, combined with the longitudinal arc-shaped structure resembling bamboo joints, forms a three-dimensional spatial limit, which significantly improves the connection strength and shear resistance and pull-out resistance of the tile.

[0014] 2. After two adjacent tiles are installed together in the longitudinal direction, there is an elastic buffer gap between the longitudinal curved surface and the bamboo-joint curved protrusion. The size of the buffer gap is 2-10mm. This elastic buffer gap gives the installation joint width a flexible adjustment function to adapt to different decoration needs and thermal expansion and contraction deformation.

[0015] 3. The tile body is integrally sintered from ceramic material. The horizontal tenon and mortise structure, the vertical curved surface and the bamboo-joint-shaped protrusion are all integrally sintered from the same material as the tile body, avoiding the risk of interface failure caused by the introduction of foreign materials.

[0016] 4. The vertical design features a bamboo-joint-shaped arc protrusion, which has a biomimetic aesthetic. The bamboo joint shape and spacing combine functionality and decoration, enriching the textural language of the tile surface. Attached Figure Description
