Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice rink technology, specifically to an ice cover system for ice rinks. Background technology:

[0002] To increase revenue, many ice rinks are rented out or used for events when not in use. To maintain the temperature and ensure safety of the ice rink, insulation and protective treatment are usually required on the ice surface. Current technology mainly involves laying insulation panels on the ice surface. For example, a Chinese-developed integrated ice rink insulation panel (publication number: CN 110975272 A) allows for rapid multi-functional conversion of ice rinks. It primarily uses silica aerospace insulation material for heat insulation, and then incorporates toothed strips to minimize gaps between the panels.

[0003] While current technology achieves the goal of insulating ice rinks, it presents significant technical challenges in practical applications, especially for large events. Many large event venues not only accommodate numerous attendees but also require the construction of stages. This necessitates not only high-strength insulation panels but also robust connections between adjacent panels. Existing technologies typically employ either a matting design or a weaker method like using magnets to connect adjacent panels, frequently resulting in insulation panels detaching from the ice surface. Therefore, it is essential to optimize and improve existing ice rink insulation structures to ensure secure and reliable connections.

[0004] It should be noted that the above content falls within the inventor's technical knowledge and does not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility model content:

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems existing in the prior art and provide an ice cover system for ice rinks, which has the advantages of reasonable structural design, high structural strength, good load-bearing capacity, strong resistance to deformation, and good heat insulation effect.

[0006] This utility model achieves the above objectives by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0007] An ice rink covering system includes multiple ice sheets. Adjacent ice sheets can be spliced ​​horizontally or vertically. Each ice sheet includes an insulation board, which is square in design and has a heat insulation cavity containing polyurethane foam. The upper end of the insulation board has evenly spaced anti-slip patterns. One of the two opposite sides of the upper end of the insulation board has a groove, and the other side has a protrusion. Adjacent insulation boards are stacked and spliced ​​by the cooperation of the protrusion and the groove. Multiple cam lock connectors are spaced apart on the side of the insulation board with the groove, and multiple cam lock receivers are spaced apart on the side of the insulation board with the protrusion. The cam lock connectors and cam lock receivers cooperate to lock two adjacent insulation boards together.

[0008] The insulation board is designed to be square.

[0009] The insulation board is made of high-density polyethylene.

[0010] The anti-slip texture is designed in a strip shape.

[0011] The bottom of the insulation board is provided with multiple frustum-shaped grooves at even intervals.

[0012] The cam lock connector includes a lock body, and the corresponding insulation plate has a mounting hole. The lock body is installed in the mounting hole and fastened by a lock nut. The lock body has a lock cylinder, which is equipped with a key. The lower end of the lock cylinder has a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft has a cam. The cam has a slot, and the side wall of the insulation plate has an clearance opening A for the cam to rotate.

[0013] The cam lock receiver includes a locking post, with protruding posts at both ends of the locking post and corresponding recessed holes on the insulation board. The protruding posts are installed in the recessed holes, and the locking post and the locking groove cooperate to lock together. The side wall of the insulation board is provided with an clearance opening B for the cam to rotate and engage the locking groove with the locking post.

[0014] The present invention, by adopting the above-described structure, can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The integrated design of insulation boards and polyurethane foam not only provides excellent thermal insulation but also makes them lightweight, easy to process and mold, and possesses good physical properties and chemical stability. Overlapping and splicing are achieved through the use of raised plates and grooves, resulting in seamless joints. A cam-lock design allows for the locking connection between adjacent insulation boards, improving tensile strength and enhancing the overall structural strength. Attached image description:

[0029] like Figure 1-7As shown, the ice rink ice cover system includes multiple ice sheets 1. Adjacent ice sheets 1 can be spliced ​​horizontally or vertically. Each ice sheet 1 includes an insulation board 2, which is designed in a square shape. The insulation board 2 has an insulation cavity 3 inside, and polyurethane foam 4 is placed inside the insulation cavity 3. Anti-slip textures 5 are evenly spaced on the upper end of the insulation board 2. One side of the two opposite sides of the upper end of the insulation board 2 has a groove 6, and the other side has a protrusion 7. Adjacent insulation boards 2 are stacked and spliced ​​by the cooperation of the protrusion 7 and the groove 6. Multiple cam-lock connectors 8 are spaced apart on the side of the insulation board 2 with the groove 6, and multiple cam-lock receivers 9 are spaced apart on the side of the insulation board 2 with the protrusion 7. The cam-lock connectors 8 and cam-lock receivers 9 cooperate to lock adjacent insulation boards 2 together. The integrated design of the insulation board 2 and the polyurethane foam 4 not only provides excellent heat insulation but also makes it lightweight, easy to process and mold, and possesses good physical properties and chemical stability. The overlapping and splicing of the insulation panels 2 are achieved by using protruding plates 7 and grooves 6, thus achieving seamless splicing. The design of the cam lock enables the locking connection of two adjacent insulation panels 2, improving tensile strength and increasing the overall structural strength.

[0030] The insulation board 2 is designed in a square shape. The square structure has the advantages of good structural symmetry, easy assembly and disassembly, and aesthetics.

[0031] The insulation board 2 is made of high-density polyethylene. High-density polyethylene has good heat and cold resistance, good chemical stability, and also has high rigidity and toughness, good mechanical strength, etc., making it suitable for this application.

[0032] The anti-slip texture 5 is designed in a strip shape. The strip-shaped anti-slip texture 5 has a good anti-slip effect.

[0033] The bottom of the insulation board 2 is provided with multiple frustum-shaped grooves 10 evenly spaced. This facilitates disassembly and assembly while providing a stronger supporting structure and greater load-bearing capacity.

[0034] The cam lock connector 8 includes a lock body 801, with a mounting hole 802 on the corresponding insulation plate 2. The lock body 801 is mounted on the mounting hole 802 and secured by a locking nut 803. A lock cylinder 804 (prior art) is located inside the lock body 802. The lock cylinder 804 is equipped with a key. A rotating shaft 805 is located at the lower end of the lock cylinder 804. A cam 806 is located on the rotating shaft 805. A slot 807 is located on the cam 806. An clearance opening A808 for the rotation of the cam 806 is located on the side wall of the insulation plate 2. The working principle of the cam lock is the same as that of the rotary latch lock, the main difference being that the thickness of the cam 806 in this application is greater than the thickness of the latch in the rotary latch lock, primarily to improve the locking strength.

[0035] The cam lock receiver 9 includes a locking post 901, with protrusions 902 at both ends of the locking post 901. Correspondingly, the insulation plate 2 has a recess 903. The protrusions 902 are installed within the recesses 903. The locking post 901 engages with a locking groove 807 for locking. The side wall of the insulation plate 2 has a clearance opening B904 for the cam 806 to rotate and engage the locking groove 807 with the locking post 901. Together with the cam lock connector 8, it forms a cam lock.

[0036] The above specific embodiments should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, any alternative improvements or modifications made to the embodiments of this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0037] Any aspects of this utility model not described in detail are known to those skilled in the art.
