Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flooring installation equipment technology, and in particular to a connection structure for installing wood flooring. Background Technology

[0002] Under current trends, the installation of wood flooring is the main method of bottom surface treatment. At present, the processing and manufacturing of wood flooring is mainly based on composite wood flooring, which has a base layer (the original wood layer), a composite balancing layer at the bottom of the base layer, and a decorative surface layer and a sanding layer on the surface of the base layer.

[0003] The advantages of wood flooring are its comfortable feel and natural elasticity. However, the main problem with existing wood flooring in actual use is that it does not leave a 3 / 4-inch expansion joint along the wall (or adjust it according to the width of the board), which makes it easy for the floor to warp due to thermal expansion and contraction. Another problem in production is that the structure of the side processing of the flooring is different on both sides, which increases the processing procedures.

[0004] Chinese patent application, publication number CN111980347A, titled "Solid wood flooring connection structure and solid wood flooring having the same", describes a technical solution that constructs a set of interlocking blocks. However, the drawback of this technical solution is that the excessive processing of the flooring structure results in too many grooves, which is also not conducive to production and processing, and is difficult to effectively deal with the problem of stress expansion. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention aims to solve the technical problems of complex installation and matching of existing flooring, and the difficulty in effectively improving the situation when dealing with stress expansion, by providing a connection structure for installing wood flooring.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A connection structure for installing wood flooring, comprising:

[0008] Wooden floor block 1, with its two sides forming a butt joint surface 2;

[0009] The base layer areas 3 on both sides of the wooden floor block 1 are constructed with the same connection structure 10;

[0010] The connecting structure 10 forms a beveled area 101, and the beveled area 101 forms a beveled surface 111 on the base layer area 3;

[0011] Above the inclined area 101 is a semi-circular area 102, and the semi-circular area 102 forms a semi-circular surface 222 in the base layer area 3;

[0012] The inclined side 101 has a right-angled side facing the mating surface 2, and a square gap area 103 connects to the inclined side 101 and is located on one side of the right-angled side, so that the base layer area 3 forms a mating block 333; and

[0013] The connecting component 20 is capable of simultaneously abutting against the connecting block 333, the inclined surface 111, and the semi-circular surface 222 of two adjacent sets of wooden floor blocks 1.

[0014] Alternatively, the inclined area 101 forms a 45-degree angle with the mating surface 2.

[0015] Alternatively, the height of the semicircular surface 222 to the horizontal plane is greater than the height of the bottom surface of the docking block 333 to the horizontal plane.

[0016] Alternatively, the connecting component 20 includes:

[0017] V-shaped connecting piece 210, which forms a V-shaped space 201, the V-shaped space 201 being located below the docking block 333;

[0018] An arc-shaped abutment 220 is connected to each side of the V-shaped connecting piece 210;

[0019] The arc-shaped part of the arc-shaped abutment 220 can abut against the vertical surface of the inclined surface 111 and the base layer area 3.

[0020] Alternatively, the lower end of the arc-shaped abutment 220 is formed with a corner retainer 230, which can abut against the balancing layer 4 below the base layer area 3;

[0021] Viewed in one cross-sectional direction, the corner member 230 is constructed as a right triangle.

[0022] Alternatively, the V-shaped connecting piece 210 has a V-angle end 211;

[0023] The V-angle end 211 maintains a preset distance from the horizontal plane.

[0024] Alternatively, the connecting component 20 may further include: a limiting abutment member;

[0025] The limiting abutment has a fitting part 241, which is perpendicular to the horizontal plane and connected to node A where the V-shaped connecting piece 210 connects to the arc-shaped abutment 220.

[0026] The limiting abutment 240 can fit against the side of the docking block 333.

[0027] Optionally, it also includes:

[0028] The arc-shaped clip 242 is connected to the limiting abutment and can be inserted into the semi-circular area 102 and contact the semi-circular surface 222.

[0029] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] The advantage of this technical solution lies in the fact that the side connection structure of the wood flooring tiles is the same, relying on the direct connection of the mating surfaces, and using connecting components to stabilize the gaps. Furthermore, due to the design and construction of the connecting components and the connection structure, there is a large cavity between the wood flooring tiles under the base layer. The all-aluminum connecting components are actually aluminum sheets. Aluminum has an excellent thermal conductivity, which is much higher than that of wood. Therefore, this solution, under the action of the connecting components and the connection structure, has a more effective way to eliminate the stress caused by heat. It also has the advantages of convenient processing, convenient installation, and effective heat conduction and stress elimination. Attached Figure Description

[0045] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. It should be noted that, for ease of description, in this application, "left side" is referred to as "first end", "right side" as "second end", "upper side" as "first end", and "lower side" as "second end" in the current view. The purpose of such description is to clearly express the technical solution and should not be construed as an improper limitation of the technical solution of this application.

[0046] This invention aims to solve the technical problems of complex installation and matching of existing flooring, and the difficulty in effectively addressing stress expansion. It provides a connection structure for installing wood flooring. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes:

[0047] Wooden floor block 1, with its two sides forming a butt joint surface 2;

[0048] The base areas 3 on both sides of the wood floor block 1 are constructed with the same connection structure 10;

[0049] The connecting structure 10 forms a sloping area 101, and the sloping area 101 forms a sloping surface 111 on the base layer area 3;

[0050] Above the inclined area 101 is a semi-circular area 102, which forms a semi-circular surface 222 in the base area 3;

[0051] The inclined side 101 has a right-angled side facing the mating surface 2. A square gap area 103 connects to the inclined side 101 and is located on one side of the right-angled side, so that the base layer area 3 forms a mating block 333; and

[0052] The connecting component 20 is made entirely of aluminum and can simultaneously abut against the mating block 333, the inclined surface 111, and the semi-circular surface 222 of two adjacent sets of wooden floor tiles 1.

[0053] The advantage of this technical solution lies in the fact that the connecting structures 10 on the sides of the wood flooring blocks 1 are identical, relying on direct mating surfaces. Connecting components 20 are used to stabilize the gaps. Furthermore, due to the design and construction of connecting components 20 and connecting structures 10, a relatively large cavity exists between the wood flooring blocks 1 beneath the base layer. The connecting components 20, made entirely of aluminum, are actually aluminum sheets. Aluminum has a thermal conductivity of approximately 205 W / (m·K), far exceeding that of non-metallic materials such as wood (0.1-0.2 W / (m·K)). It is a metallic material with excellent thermal conductivity. Therefore, this solution, through the structural action of connecting components 20 and connecting structures 10, more effectively eliminates the stress caused by heat. It also offers advantages such as convenient processing and installation, effective heat conduction, and stress elimination.

[0054] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-4 As shown, the inclined area 101 forms a 45-degree angle with the mating surface 2, which is a preferred embodiment for processing to improve processing efficiency.

[0055] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the height of the semicircular surface 222 to the horizontal plane is greater than the height of the bottom surface of the mating block 333 to the horizontal plane.

[0056] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the connecting component 20 includes:

[0057] V-shaped connecting piece 210 forms a V-shaped space 201, which is located below the docking block 333;

[0058] An arc-shaped abutment 220 is connected to each side of the V-shaped connecting piece 210;

[0059] The arc-shaped part of the arc-shaped abutment 220 can abut against the vertical surface of the inclined surface 111 and the base area 3, thus forming a heat dissipation space below the arc-shaped abutment 220.

[0060] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the lower end of the arc-shaped abutment 220 has a corner retainer 230, which can abut against the balancing layer 4 below the base layer 3. In a cross-sectional view, the corner retainer 230 is constructed as a right triangle to ensure the stability of the abutment.

[0061] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the V-shaped connecting piece 210 has a V-angle end 211;

[0062] The V-angle end 211 maintains a preset distance from the horizontal plane, which allows the docking block 333 to be firmly docked and facilitates heat dissipation.

[0063] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the connecting component 20 also includes: a limiting abutment member;

[0064] The limiting abutment has a fitting part 241, which is perpendicular to the horizontal plane and connected to node A, which connects the V-shaped connecting piece 210 and the arc-shaped abutment 220.

[0065] The limiting abutment 240 can fit against the side of the docking block 333.

[0066] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, it also includes:

[0067] Arc-shaped clip 242 is connected to the limiting abutment and can be inserted into the semi-circular area 102 and contact the semi-circular surface 222;

[0068] The above structures work together, meaning that each part of the aluminum connecting component 20 can be adjacent to a cavity, thus improving heat transfer at the joint and avoiding floor defects such as warping caused by thermal stress at the joint.

[0069] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
