Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic tile technology, specifically a ceramic tile designed to prevent cracking. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional tile laying typically requires cutting tiles when encountering inside or outside corners of walls. This process demands a high level of skill and extensive experience from the installers, as they must accurately measure the angle of the corner and cut the tiles accordingly to achieve a tight fit between the tiles and the wall.

[0003] Furthermore, the mechanical environment of tiles located at inside or outside corners is extremely complex, as these tiles are frequently subjected to forces from multiple different angles. These multi-angle forces cause stress concentration to occur significantly at the corners of the tiles.

[0004] When stress concentrates at a corner, the material at that corner experiences pressure far exceeding its ultimate strength, inevitably leading to the formation of microcracks. Over time and with continued external force, these microcracks gradually expand and extend, eventually causing the tile to crack. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, this invention proposes a crack-preventing tile. When force is concentrated at the corner of the tile, the tile can sequentially distribute the pressure to the flat surface, connecting column, and base layer, thereby dispersing the pressure concentrated at the corner to a relatively large planar area. This effectively reduces the stress peak at the corner, thus greatly reducing the possibility of cracking due to excessive stress concentration at the corner. It solves the problem that when tiles are laid at inside or outside corners, stress accumulates at the tile corners, causing the tiles to easily crack.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A type of tile designed to prevent cracking includes a tile body and multiple spacers. The tile body is shaped as a quadrilateral, pentagon, or irregular polygon. Spacers are fixedly installed at the bottom of each corner of the tile body, and the edges of the spacers are flush with the edges of the tile body.

[0008] The gasket includes a flat plate and connecting posts. The top of the flat plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tile body. Multiple connecting posts are evenly arranged on the bottom of the flat plate. The connecting posts are used to connect the base layer and the flat plate.

[0009] The flat plate includes a first mounting part and a second mounting part, which are intersecting each other. The edge of the first mounting part is flush with the side wall of the tile body, and the side wall of the second mounting part is flush with the side wall of the tile body.

[0010] The connecting column has a conical structure, and the mounting bottom surface of the connecting column coincides with the bottom of the plate. The positioning vertex of the connecting column is set away from the plate.

[0011] The flat plate and the connecting column are integrally formed, and the gasket is made of stainless steel.

[0012] The thickness of the plate is 0.9-1.1mm, the height of the connecting post is 3.8-4.2mm, the diameter of the mounting bottom surface of the connecting post is 4.8-5.2mm, and the distance between two adjacent connecting posts is 20-40mm.

[0013] It also includes an adhesive component that connects the flat plate to the ceramic tile body, the adhesive component having a thickness of 0.4-1.0 mm.

[0014] The ceramic tile body consists of a body layer and a glaze decorative layer from bottom to top.

[0015] The technical solution of this utility model can include the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. When the force is concentrated at the corner of the tile, the tile can distribute the pressure to the flat surface, connecting column and base layer in sequence, thereby dispersing the pressure concentrated at the corner to a relatively large flat area, effectively reducing the stress peak at the corner, and thus greatly reducing the possibility of cracking caused by excessive stress concentration at the corner. This solves the problem that when tiles are laid at inside or outside corners, stress accumulates at the corner of the tile, causing the tile to crack easily.

[0017] 2. The structure in which the first mounting part is flush with the corresponding side wall and the second mounting part is flush with the corresponding side wall ensures that the gasket can fit tightly no matter how complex the outline of the tile body is. This eliminates the hidden dangers of suspension and uneven force caused by poor shape fit, ensures the firmness of the tile body and reduces cracking caused by fitting problems.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0023] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "assembly," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] The following is combined Figures 1 to 2 This describes a type of ceramic tile that prevents cracking, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0026] A type of tile designed to prevent cracking includes a tile body 1 and multiple spacers 2. The tile body 1 is shaped as a quadrilateral, pentagon, or irregular polygon. Spacers 2 are fixedly installed at the bottom of each corner of the tile body 1, and the edges of the spacers 2 are flush with the edges of the tile body 1.

[0027] The gasket 2 includes a flat plate 21 and connecting posts 22. The top of the flat plate 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tile body 1. A plurality of connecting posts 22 are evenly arranged on the bottom of the flat plate 21. The connecting posts 22 are used to connect the base layer and the flat plate 21.

[0028] For multiple inside and outside corners on the ground, since the shape of the tile body 1 is a quadrilateral, pentagon or irregular polygon, the tile body 1 of various shapes can be flexibly spliced ​​according to the specific angle and shape of the inside and outside corners, avoiding obvious gaps at the inside and outside corners due to shape mismatch or the need to cut a large number of tiles.

[0029] At inside and outside corners, the pressure distribution on the tile body 1 is uneven, which easily leads to stress concentration. When external forces are applied to these locations, such as placing heavy objects or having people step on the area near the corner, the pressure will accumulate at the corner points of the tile body 1, resulting in tile cracking.

[0030] Therefore, a gasket 2 is provided at the bottom of the corner of the tile body 1. The gasket 2 can support and disperse the force. When the force is concentrated at the corner of the tile body 1, the tile body 1 can distribute the pressure to the flat plate 21, the connecting column 22 and the base layer in sequence, thereby dispersing the pressure concentrated at the corner to a relatively large planar area. This effectively reduces the stress peak at the corner, thus greatly reducing the possibility of cracking of the tile body 1 due to excessive stress concentration at the corner. This solves the problem of easy cracking of the tile body 1 when laid at inside or outside corners.

[0031] The flat plate 21 includes a first mounting part 211 and a second mounting part 212. The first mounting part 211 and the second mounting part 212 are intersecting. The edge of the first mounting part 211 is flush with the side wall corresponding to the tile body 1, and the side wall of the second mounting part 212 is flush with the side wall corresponding to the tile body 1.

[0032] The structure of the first mounting part 211 being flush with the corresponding side wall and the second mounting part 212 having the corresponding side wall flush with the side wall ensures that the gasket 2 can fit tightly no matter how complex or varied the outline of the tile body 1. This eliminates the hidden dangers of suspension and uneven force caused by poor shape adaptation, ensures the firmness of the tile body 1, and reduces cracking caused by fitting problems.

[0033] Furthermore, when the tile body 1 is subjected to external forces from any direction, such as the tensile force generated by building settlement, the impact force during daily use, or the shrinkage and expansion stress caused by temperature changes, the first mounting part 211 can effectively disperse the stress component in the horizontal direction and transmit the force evenly to the base layer; the second mounting part 212 focuses on bearing the forces in the vertical and other inclined directions. The two work together to ensure that the tile body 1 as a whole will not crack due to excessive local stress concentration, which greatly enhances the ability of the tile body 1 to cope with complex external force environments.

[0034] The connecting post 22 has a conical structure, and the mounting bottom surface of the connecting post 22 coincides with the bottom of the plate 21. The positioning vertex of the connecting post 22 is set away from the plate 21.

[0035] During the installation of the tile body 1, adhesive is applied around the connecting posts 22 and the plate 21 to contact the substrate. The special shape of the conical connecting posts 22 increases the bonding surface area, allowing the adhesive to not only adhere to the bottom surface but also form a more stable bonding structure along the sides of the cone. Compared to simple columnar connections, this multi-faceted bonding method makes the bond between the tile body 1 and the substrate much stronger, greatly reducing the probability of the tile body 1 becoming hollow, falling off, and cracking, ensuring that the tile body 1 maintains a stable installation state throughout long-term use.

[0036] The flat plate 21 and the connecting column 22 are integrally formed, and the gasket 2 is made of stainless steel.

[0037] When the tile body 1 is subjected to external impact, whether it is a slight bump from daily use or a larger stress caused by building settlement and vibration, the one-piece molded structure can ensure that the force is smoothly transmitted from the tile body 1 through the plate 21 to the connecting column 22, and then evenly distributed to the base layer. This avoids stress concentration caused by loose or broken component connections, thereby greatly reducing the risk of cracking of the tile body 1, maintaining structural stability, and ensuring the long-term integrity of the tile body 1.

[0038] The building environment is complex and variable, and the location where the tile body 1 is laid may come into contact with corrosive media such as moisture, salt, or chemical cleaning agent residue. Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance, which allows the passivation film formed on the surface of the gasket 2 to resist these corrosive factors, prevent the gasket 2 from rusting and corroding, ensure long-term structural integrity, maintain a stable connection with the tile body 1 and the base layer, and prevent subsequent problems such as tile body 1 laying failure and cracking caused by damage to the gasket 2.

[0039] The thickness of the plate 21 is 0.9-1.1mm, the height of the connecting post 22 is 3.8-4.2mm, the diameter of the mounting bottom surface of the connecting post 22 is 4.8-5.2mm, and the distance between two adjacent connecting posts 22 is 20-40mm.

[0040] The thickness of the flat plate 21 is set within a predetermined range, which ensures that it has sufficient strength to bear the pressure transmitted from the tile body 1, avoids stress concentration at the bottom of the tile body 1, and thus effectively reduces the risk of cracking of the tile body 1; and does not increase unnecessary weight and cost due to excessive thickness.

[0041] The height of the connecting post 22 is between 3.8 and 4.2 mm. This height allows the connecting post 22 to form a buffer zone when subjected to external forces from different directions. When the tile body 1 is subjected to impact or continuous pressure, the connecting post 22 can absorb and disperse these forces to a certain extent through its own deformation, and reasonably transmit the force to the base layer to maintain structural stability.

[0042] The diameter of the mounting base of the connecting post 22 is 4.8-5.2mm. This avoids the pressure from being concentrated on a local point of the base layer due to the small contact area, preventing the base layer from sinking or being damaged due to excessive local pressure. It also reduces the risk of cracking of the tile body 1 due to the reaction force being concentrated on the top of the connecting post 22, so that the pressure can be evenly distributed in a certain area of ​​the base layer, ensuring the stability of the tile body 1 during installation.

[0043] The spacing of the connecting posts 22 is 20-40mm, which can avoid excessive local pressure due to the connecting posts 22 being too sparse, or affect the overall structural coordination due to the connecting posts 22 being too dense. This further optimizes the force distribution effect, allowing the tile body 1 to be laid more stably on the base layer.

[0044] It also includes an adhesive component 3, which connects the flat plate 21 to the tile body 1, and the thickness of the adhesive component 3 is 0.4-1.0 mm.

[0045] The 0.4-1.0mm thick adhesive layer can fill the tiny pores and unevenness that may exist on the surface of the flat plate 21 and the tile body 1, making the two fit together more tightly. This effectively avoids uneven stress transmission caused by loosening or separation between the two during use, which could lead to cracking of the tile body 1. This provides a strong guarantee for the overall structural stability of the tile body 1.

[0046] Furthermore, when a sudden external impact acts on the tile body 1, the adhesive 3 can act as a buffer, mitigating the direct impact of the external force on the connection structure between the tile body 1 and the gasket 2. Its appropriate thickness provides sufficient cushioning capacity, preventing the impact force from being directly transmitted to the connection point and causing damage. This protects the connection stability between the tile body 1 and the gasket 2, reducing the possibility of cracking of the tile body 1 due to external impact. This cushioning protection is especially important in areas prone to accidental collisions, such as corridors and kitchens.

[0047] The ceramic tile body 1 consists of a body layer and a glaze decorative layer from bottom to top.

[0048] As the basic structure of the ceramic tile body 1, the body layer can evenly distribute the pressure transmitted back from the base layer through the gasket 2 and other structures, preventing cracks from occurring due to excessive local pressure.

[0049] The glaze has high hardness and wear resistance, which can resist scratches and wear in daily use, prevent stains from penetrating, and keep the surface of the tile clean.

[0050] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without any inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
