Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of home decoration products, and more specifically, to a ceramic tile-like floor. Background Technology
[0002] Vinyl flooring is now more widely used in the market and can be applied in many scenarios in China, such as living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and other furniture areas, as well as in many public environments such as shopping malls, hospitals, and parks. However, the promotion of solid vinyl flooring in China still faces some difficulties because the general public still prefers ceramic tiles.
[0003] The inventors discovered in their research that existing plastic flooring structures have at least the following drawbacks:
[0004] Tiles are used frequently, but they generally have obvious drawbacks such as being heavy, easily scratched, and easily broken during installation and application. Plastic flooring has advantages such as being lightweight, not easily scratched, and not easily broken, but it is used less frequently. Therefore, there is a need to solve the problem of making plastic flooring similar to tiles. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model includes, for example, providing a ceramic tile-like flooring that makes the installation effect of PVC flooring closer to that of ceramic tiles, thereby expanding the application range of PVC flooring and increasing its usage frequency.
[0006] The embodiments of this utility model can be implemented as follows:
[0007] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a ceramic tile-like flooring, comprising:
[0008] The paving board and waterproof strip are provided. The paving board includes a first substrate layer, a second substrate layer, a color film layer and a wear-resistant layer stacked in sequence. The first substrate layer is used to contact the ground. The paving board has a first side and a second side. The first side is provided with a first recess and a first positioning part. The first recess is located on the side of the first positioning part close to the wear-resistant layer. The second side is provided with a second recess and a second positioning part.
[0009] Adjacent paving panels are engaged by corresponding first and second positioning parts; first and second recesses of adjacent paving panels are joined to form a joint groove; a waterproof strip is installed on the first side and located between the first recess and the first positioning part, and the waterproof strip is used to hold the two adjacent paving panels together.
[0010] In an optional embodiment, the first substrate layer is configured as a PS plastic layer, a PVC plastic layer, or a wood-plastic composite material layer.
[0011] Based on the above options, PS (polystyrene) is a common thermoplastic with good rigidity and transparency. It is relatively lightweight, reducing the overall weight of the flooring, and is easy to mold and cut, resulting in low manufacturing costs. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a commonly used thermoplastic with good wear resistance, chemical resistance, flexibility, weather resistance, and aging resistance. It can adapt to different floor conditions and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, offering a high safety factor. Wood-plastic composites are composite materials made from a mixture of wood fibers and plastics, exhibiting good rigidity and stability.
[0012] In an optional embodiment, the thickness of the first substrate layer is set between 3.0 mm and 8 mm.
[0013] Based on the above solution, the thickness of the first substrate layer can be set as needed, providing stable support and a long service life.
[0014] In an optional embodiment, the second substrate layer is configured as a PS plastic layer, a PVC plastic layer, or a wood-plastic composite material layer.
[0015] Based on the above solution, by setting a first substrate layer and a second substrate layer, the two can work together to improve the structural strength of the paving board, reduce the processing difficulty, and extend its service life.
[0016] In an optional embodiment, the thickness of the second substrate layer is set between 0.8 mm and 1.6 mm.
[0017] Based on the above scheme, the thickness of the second substrate layer can be set as needed, making the processing flexible and applicable to a wide range of applications.
[0018] In an optional embodiment, the color film layer is configured as a stain-resistant and antibacterial UV paint.
[0019] Based on the above scheme, the design of the color film layer is a crucial step in ensuring the surface aesthetics, stain resistance, and antibacterial properties of the flooring. When the color film layer is set as a stain-resistant and antibacterial UV varnish, the performance and lifespan of the flooring can be significantly improved. Specifically, it effectively prevents stains from penetrating and adhering, keeping the floor surface clean; it inhibits the growth of bacteria and mold, improving the hygienic performance of the flooring; through UV curing technology, the stain-resistant and antibacterial UV varnish can cure quickly, forming a strong protective layer with good adhesion and wear resistance. Simultaneously, the stain-resistant and antibacterial UV varnish has high transparency, clearly displaying the patterns and textures of the printed layer.
[0020] In an optional embodiment, the thickness of the color filter layer is set between 0.05 and 0.13 mm.
[0021] Based on the above scheme, the thickness of the color filter layer can be designed as needed, making it flexible and applicable to a wide range of applications.
[0022] In an optional embodiment, the wear-resistant layer is configured as a PVC transparent sheet, a PET transparent sheet, or a PU transparent sheet.
[0023] Based on the above solutions, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) transparent sheets are a commonly used wear-resistant layer material, possessing good transparency, wear resistance, and scratch resistance. PET (polyester) transparent sheets offer high transparency, wear resistance, and scratch resistance, making them suitable for demanding environments. PU (polyurethane) transparent sheets exhibit extremely high wear resistance and scratch resistance, making them suitable for high-flow and high-load applications.
[0024] In an optional embodiment, the thickness of the wear-resistant layer is set between 0.1 and 0.3 mm.
[0025] Based on the above solution, the thickness of the wear-resistant layer can be set as needed, making it flexible and suitable for different scenarios.
[0026] In an optional embodiment, the waterproof strip includes an elastic waterproof outer cylinder and an elastic support inner strip. The elastic support inner strip is configured as an arc-shaped strip and is inserted into the elastic waterproof outer cylinder to give the elastic waterproof outer cylinder an expansion tendency so that the elastic waterproof outer cylinder fits the surface of the paving board.
[0027] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment include, for example:
[0028] In summary, the imitation ceramic tile flooring provided in this embodiment, by setting a first recess and a second recess on the first and second sides of the paving board respectively, forms a joint groove when adjacent paving boards are spliced together. During grouting, a grout layer can be filled into the groove, decorating the paving board and making its appearance more closely resemble ceramic tiles, resulting in a better imitation ceramic tile effect and expanding the application range of imitation ceramic tile flooring. Simultaneously, a waterproof strip is provided between adjacent paving boards, preventing external water stains from easily entering between the first and second positioning parts through the grout groove during grouting, thus reducing corrosion of the paving board and extending its service life.

[0041] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0042] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
[0043] In the existing technology, although plastic flooring is lightweight, not easily broken or scratched, and easy to transport and install, its appearance limits the ability to be sealed with grout lines, resulting in low usage frequency.
[0044] In view of this, the designers have provided a ceramic tile-like flooring that allows for grout sealing after installation, thereby making the decorative effect of the flooring panel 100 closer to that of ceramic tiles and expanding the application range of ceramic tile-like flooring.
[0045] Please refer to Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a ceramic tile-like floor, including a paving board 100 and a waterproof strip 200. The paving board 100 includes a first substrate layer 110, a second substrate layer 120, a color film layer 130, and a wear-resistant layer 140 stacked sequentially. The first substrate layer 110 is for contacting the ground. The paving board 100 has a first side and a second side. The first side is provided with a first recess 101 and a first positioning part 102. The first recess 101 is located on the side of the first positioning part 102 near the wear-resistant layer. The second side is provided with a second recess 103 and a second positioning part 104.
[0046] Adjacent paving panels 100 are engaged by corresponding first positioning parts 102 and second positioning parts 104; the first recess 101 and the second recess 103 of adjacent paving panels 100 are joined to form a joint groove 105; a waterproof strip 200 is installed on the first side and located between the first recess 101 and the first positioning part 102, and the waterproof strip 200 is used to hold the two adjacent paving panels 100 together.
[0047] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the imitation ceramic tile floor also includes a grout layer 300, which fills the grout groove 105. The grout groove 105 is an arc-shaped groove, which is less likely to have dead corners, and the grout layer 300 and the grout groove 105 are more tightly bonded.
[0048] As described above, the ceramic tile-like flooring provided in this embodiment has at least the following advantages:
[0049] By providing a first recess 101 and a second recess 103 on the first and second sides of the paving board 100 respectively, when adjacent paving boards 100 are spliced together, the first recess 101 and the second recess 103 align to form a joint groove 105. During joint sealing, a joint sealant layer 300 can be filled into the joint groove 105, decorating the paving board 100 and making its appearance more closely resemble ceramic tiles, resulting in a better imitation ceramic tile effect and expanding the application range of imitation ceramic tile flooring. Simultaneously, a waterproof adhesive strip 200 is provided between adjacent paving boards 100. During joint sealing, external water stains are less likely to enter between the first positioning part 102 and the second positioning part 104 along the joint groove 105, preventing corrosion of the paving board 100 and extending its service life.
[0050] It should be understood that since the first and second sides of the paving board 100 are provided with recesses, once the width of the grout groove 105 is determined, the width of the recess on each side can be designed to be smaller, which reduces the difficulty of processing the recesses on the side of the paving board and can improve the processing accuracy.
[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 Meanwhile, both the first recess 101 and the second recess 103 are arc-shaped grooves. The joint groove 105 formed by the two is free of internal corners, which is conducive to the joint layer 300 filling the joint groove 105.
[0052] The details of the imitation ceramic tile flooring of the present application embodiments are described below by way of example.
[0053] In this embodiment, optionally, the first substrate layer 110 is configured as a PS plastic layer, a PVC plastic layer, or a wood-plastic composite material layer.
[0054] It should be understood that PS (polystyrene) is a common thermoplastic with good rigidity and transparency. It is relatively lightweight, reducing the overall weight of the flooring, and is easy to mold and cut, resulting in low manufacturing costs. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a commonly used thermoplastic with good wear resistance, chemical resistance, flexibility, weather resistance, and aging resistance. It can adapt to different floor conditions and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, offering a high safety factor. Wood-plastic composites are composite materials made from a mixture of wood fibers and plastics, possessing good rigidity and stability.
[0055] It should be noted that the thickness of the first substrate layer 110 is set between 3.0mm and 8mm. For example, the thickness of the first substrate layer 110 can be set to 3.0mm, 5.0mm, or 8.0mm, etc. The thickness of the first substrate layer 110 can be set as needed, which can provide stable support and a long service life.
[0056] In this embodiment, optionally, the second substrate layer 120 is a PS plastic layer, a PVC plastic layer, or a wood-plastic composite material layer. By setting the first substrate layer 110 and the second substrate layer 120, the two working together can improve the structural strength of the paving board 100, reduce processing difficulty, and extend service life. It should be noted that the first substrate layer 110 and the second substrate layer 120 can be made of the same material to reduce processing difficulty and save processing costs.
[0057] It should be noted that the thickness of the second substrate layer 120 is set between 0.8mm and 1.6mm. For example, the thickness of the second substrate layer 120 can be set to 0.8mm, 1.2mm, or 1.6mm, etc. The thickness of the second substrate layer 120 can be set as needed, which allows for flexible processing and a wide range of applications.
[0058] In this embodiment, optionally, the color film layer 130 is set as a stain-resistant and antibacterial UV paint.
[0059] Based on the above scheme, the design of the color film layer 130 is a crucial step in ensuring the surface aesthetics, stain resistance, and antibacterial properties of the flooring panel 100. When the color film layer 130 is set as a stain-resistant and antibacterial UV varnish, it can significantly improve the performance and lifespan of the flooring. Specifically, it can effectively prevent stain penetration and adhesion, keeping the floor surface clean; it can inhibit the growth of bacteria and mold, improving the hygienic performance of the flooring; through ultraviolet curing technology, the stain-resistant and antibacterial UV varnish can be quickly cured, forming a strong protective layer with good adhesion and wear resistance. At the same time, the stain-resistant and antibacterial UV varnish has high transparency, which can clearly display the patterns and textures of the printed layer.
[0060] In this embodiment, optionally, the thickness of the color filter layer 130 is set between 0.05 and 0.13 mm. It should be understood that the thickness of the color filter layer 130 can be set to 0.05, 0.09, or 0.13 mm, etc. The thickness of the color filter layer 130 can be designed as needed, which is flexible and has a wide range of applications.
[0061] In this embodiment, the wear-resistant layer 140 can optionally be a PVC transparent sheet, a PET transparent sheet, or a PU transparent sheet. It should be understood that PVC (polyvinyl chloride) transparent sheet is a commonly used material for the wear-resistant layer 140, possessing good transparency, wear resistance, and scratch resistance. PET (polyester) transparent sheet has high transparency, wear resistance, and scratch resistance, making it suitable for demanding environments. PU (polyurethane) transparent sheet has extremely high wear resistance and scratch resistance, making it suitable for high-flow and high-load applications.
[0062] In this embodiment, optionally, the thickness of the wear-resistant layer 140 is set between 0.1-0.3 mm, such as 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, or 0.3 mm. The thickness of the wear-resistant layer 140 can be set as needed, providing flexibility and suitability for different application scenarios.
[0063] In this embodiment, optionally, the waterproof strip 200 includes an elastic waterproof outer cylinder 210 and an elastic support inner strip 220. The elastic support inner strip 220 is configured as an arc-shaped strip and is inserted into the elastic waterproof outer cylinder 210 to give the elastic waterproof outer cylinder 210 an expansion tendency so that the elastic waterproof outer cylinder 210 fits the surface of the paving board 100.
[0064] Please refer to Figures 2-3 It should be understood that the elastic waterproof outer cylinder 210 can be a rubber cylinder, and the elastic support inner strip 220 can be a plastic strip or a metal strip. The length of the elastic support inner strip 220 and the length of the elastic waterproof outer cylinder 210 can be set to be the same. The cross-sectional profile of the elastic support inner strip 220 can be an arc shape, which can provide a stable outward expansion elastic force, thereby making the adjacent paving board 100 fit more tightly with the elastic waterproof outer cylinder 210. The elastic waterproof outer cylinder 210 can compensate for the dimensional changes caused by thermal expansion and contraction, and has a good waterproof effect.
[0065] It should be understood that, in order to facilitate the positioning of the waterproof strip 200, grooves can be provided on the first and second sides. The waterproof strip 200 is clamped by the cooperation of the two grooves. The grooves are located between the first recess 101 and the first positioning protrusion. The grooves can be semi-circular grooves, and the two grooves are joined together to form a circular through hole.
[0066] The ceramic tile-like flooring provided in this embodiment, by setting a grout layer 300 in the grout groove 105, makes the decorative effect of the installed board more similar to that of ceramic tiles, thus broadening its application range. Furthermore, the combination of the waterproof strip 200 and the grout layer 300 effectively seals the joints, providing excellent waterproofing and dustproofing, and extending the flooring's lifespan.
[0067] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
