Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic flooring technology, specifically to plastic flooring with a retractable edge structure. Background Technology

[0002] New interlocking sports flooring is gaining increasing recognition due to its numerous advantages such as safety, environmental friendliness, and ease of disassembly and assembly. It is gradually replacing "toxic running tracks" and "toxic sports fields" that are laid using a mixture of chemical raw materials and rubber granules. However, the existing interlocking sports flooring is generally tightly assembled, making it susceptible to thermal expansion and contraction. As the temperature of the sports field changes, it may deform, buckle, or crack.

[0003] According to a utility model patent with Chinese patent application number 202320466116.9, an easy-to-split PVC flooring is proposed. This easy-to-split PVC flooring solves the problems of high installation cost and low efficiency in the prior art when used. However, the edges of the easy-to-split PVC flooring do not have a retractable function, which makes the PVC flooring unable to expand and contract after splicing, making it easy to be squeezed and damaged, affecting the service life of the flooring. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a PVC flooring with a retractable edge structure to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a plastic floor with a retractable edge structure, which gives the plastic flooring's edge installation area a retractable function, thus solving the problem that the lack of retractable edge installation area on plastic flooring makes it difficult for the flooring to expand and contract after splicing, leading to easy compression damage.

[0005] To achieve the aforementioned goal of providing retractable functionality at the edge of the PVC flooring, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a PVC flooring with a retractable edge structure, comprising a PVC flooring body, wherein U-shaped connecting rings are fixedly installed on the top and right sides of the PVC flooring body, and U-shaped protective plates are fixedly installed on the left and bottom sides of the PVC flooring body. A U-shaped through groove is provided inside the U-shaped connecting ring, and a vertical insertion groove and a horizontal insertion groove are provided on the inner wall of the U-shaped through groove. A connecting block is provided on one side of the U-shaped protective plate, and an insertion limiting block is provided on one side of the connecting block.

[0006] Furthermore, the vertical insertion slot and the horizontal insertion slot are interconnected, and an "L"-shaped sliding groove is formed between the vertical insertion slot and the horizontal insertion slot.

[0007] Furthermore, the insertion limiting block is inserted into the interior of the insertion vertical slot and the insertion horizontal slot, and the size of the insertion limiting block is adapted to the insertion vertical slot and the insertion horizontal slot.

[0008] Furthermore, the connecting block is inserted into the interior of the U-shaped through groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the connecting block is movably installed inside the U-shaped protective plate, and the connecting block is sleeved inside the U-shaped through groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the size of the U-shaped protective plate is adapted to the size of the U-shaped connecting ring.

[0011] Furthermore, three sets of the U-shaped protective plate and U-shaped connecting ring are provided on one side of the plastic flooring body. The distance between the top of the U-shaped connecting ring and the plastic flooring body is equal to the thickness of the U-shaped protective plate. The top of the plastic flooring body is horizontally parallel to the U-shaped protective plate, and the bottom of the plastic flooring body is horizontally parallel to the bottom of the U-shaped connecting ring.

[0012] Furthermore, a wear-resistant layer is provided on the top of the plastic flooring body, and perforations are opened on the top of the plastic flooring body.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This retractable edge structure PVC flooring features a U-shaped connecting ring. During use, the U-shaped protective plate at the edge of the flooring body is aligned with the upper position of the vertical groove via the insertion limiting block. Pressing down on the U-shaped protective plate causes it to insert into the U-shaped groove via the connecting block. At this point, the U-shaped protective plate is at the top of the U-shaped connecting ring, and the connecting block is inside the U-shaped groove. Pressing the U-shaped protective plate moves the connecting block and the insertion limiting block to the bottom position, allowing for quick and easy installation of each flooring unit. The installation process is simple and efficient.

[0015] This retractable edge structure of the plastic flooring features interlocking vertical and horizontal grooves that are connected to form an "L"-shaped sliding groove. After the interlocking block slides to the bottom inside the vertical groove, when the plastic flooring body is stretched by external force or under natural conditions, the interlocking limiting block will slide from the vertical groove to the horizontal groove, completing the extension or contraction of the plastic flooring body. This makes the plastic flooring body more flexible in use. Attached Figure Description
