Detailed Implementation
[0022] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0025] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 4 The embodiments of this utility model are described below.
[0026] Traditional Chinese blue tiles are mainly flat tiles, with standard dimensions of 18×18cm, 20×20cm, and 22×22cm, and a thickness of approximately 1cm. Taking 18×18cm blue tiles as an example, approximately 130 tiles are normally needed per square meter for roof installation. Installing fewer than 100 tiles per square meter is insufficient to meet wind and rain resistance requirements; there are also cases where nearly 200 tiles are used, which significantly increases the load on the roof, affecting the overall building lifespan and making it difficult to guarantee construction quality. Furthermore, in terms of production, traditional Chinese blue tiles, as ceramic products, require high-temperature firing and oxidation-reduction processes to achieve their characteristic bluish-gray color. However, due to the availability of raw materials, efflorescence is a frequent problem during use.
[0027] Based on this, this application provides a borderless, continuous antique-style tile, which includes a tile body 100. First, see... Figure 1The tile body 100 includes interconnected tile arches 110, tile plates 120, overlapping portions 130, and connecting portions 140, wherein the cross-section of the tile arches 110 is arc-shaped;
[0028] Specifically, an overlap groove 121 is provided at the connection between the tile body 120 and the overlap portion 130, and an overlap strip 111 is provided on the side of the tile arch 110 away from the tile body 120. The overlap groove 121 is used to cooperate with the overlap strip 111.
[0029] The height of the connecting part 140 is lower than the height of the tile arch 110. The upper edge 112 of the tile arch is formed at the connection between the connecting part 140 and the tile arch 110. The lower edge 113 of the tile arch is formed at the end of the tile arch 110 away from the connecting part 140. The lower edge 113 of the tile arch is smoothly set. Since there is no folded edge, the upper edge 112 and the lower edge 113 of the tile arch can fit together seamlessly, making the connection tighter.
[0030] Therefore, by setting an upper edge 112, a lower edge 113, an overlap groove 121, and an overlap strip 111 on the tile body 100, when multiple tile bodies 100 are overlapped, the lower edge 113 of the tile arch can cooperate with the upper edge 112 of the tile arch of another corresponding tile body 100, and the overlap groove 121 can cooperate with the overlap strip 111 of another tile body 100. This not only simplifies the splicing process and makes tile laying easier, but also ensures that the tiles can be seamlessly connected at the top, bottom, left, and right adjacent points, improving the windproof and waterproof performance and overall aesthetics after overlapping.
[0031] See also Figure 1 The tile arch 110 and tile plate 120 each have multiple steps 101, arranged in a stepped pattern along the length of the tile 100. For example, the tile arch 110 has five steps 101, each with a certain inclination or curvature, while the tile plate 120 has three steps 101, with the height of the three steps decreasing sequentially from the end away from the connecting part 140. This creates a multi-layered, staggered structure when multiple tile plates 100 overlap. The upper part of the tile arch 110 of each tile 100 overlaps with five levels of drop, and the tile plate 120 overlaps with three levels of drop, decreasing in height. This design helps guide water flow during actual use. Furthermore, the graded drop between the tile arch 110 and the tile plate 120 not only achieves the thickness of traditional blue tiles but also enhances the layering and three-dimensionality of the tiles. Therefore, the large graded drop and strong overall three-dimensionality of the tiles make them an ideal material for roofing in modern Chinese architecture.
[0032] In some embodiments, a water channel 131 is provided on the overlapping portion 130. The water channel 131 is arranged along the length direction of the overlapping portion 130, thereby concentrating and guiding the water flow of the overlapping portion 130 to form a continuous drainage channel. In actual installation, the water channel 131 is located on one side of the overlapping groove 121, so that after the overlapping strip 111 and the overlapping groove 121 are engaged, the water channel 131 is below the arc-shaped position. Since the cross-section of the tile arch 110 is arc-shaped, when the tile bodies 100 overlap, the top of the arc is higher than the overlapping groove 121, avoiding mutual interference. The water channel 131 is located at the bottom of the inner side of the overlapping groove 121 and is not directly exposed to the outside. In daily use, it will not directly come into contact with dust, fallen leaves and other debris, avoiding the accumulation and blockage of other debris on the water channel 131, which would affect the drainage effect. Optionally, the water channel 131 can be inclined to guide the water flow direction and avoid water accumulation at the overlapping point, further enhancing the waterproof effect.
[0033] Please see Figure 2 Furthermore, the overlapping portion 130 is provided with a water-blocking protrusion 132 at one end near the connecting portion 140, and a water outlet 133 at the other end away from the connecting portion 140, with the water outlet 133 flush with the water channel 131. In this way, the water-blocking protrusion 132 prevents water from overflowing, and the water channel 131 guides the water flow to be discharged through the water outlet 133, thereby forming an orderly drainage path.
[0034] In some embodiments, a limiting wall 114 is provided at the connection between the tile arch 110 and the tile plate 120, and the limiting wall 114 faces the side of the tile plate 120. The limiting wall 114 can cooperate with the step 101 structure to make the water flow more concentrated and flow downward along the limiting wall 114.
[0035] One side of the connecting portion 140 is provided with a stepped first notch 142, and one side of the overlapping portion 130 is provided with a second notch 134 corresponding to the first notch 142. The first notch 142 is used to cooperate with the second notch 134. For example, the first notch 142 can be set as a double right-angle notch, and the shape of the second notch 134 corresponds to the first notch 142, so that when different tile bodies 100 are spliced, the two notches can be aligned and engaged to quickly complete the tile splicing. Thus, the upper and lower double notch design further increases the tightness of the tile connection, realizes the seamless connection of adjacent tile bodies 100, and the waterproof effect is far superior to that of traditional Chinese blue tiles, effectively preventing rainwater from seeping along the splicing joint.
[0036] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 140 is provided with a plurality of nail holes 141 for connecting with the roof tile.
[0037] For example, there are two nail holes 141, which are connected to the tile hanger by screws to fix the tile to the roof structure. This provides fixing points for the tile, making the connection between the tile and the batten more secure and ensuring stability after installation.
[0038] Please see Figure 1 and combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the overlapping portion 130, the connecting portion 140, and the tile body 120 are each provided with multiple reinforcing ribs 102, which are spaced apart. Thus, the reinforcing ribs 102 increase the overall rigidity of the tile body 100 and improve the flexural strength of the tile by increasing the structural thickness and support points.
[0039] Specifically, multiple reinforcing ribs 102 are provided at intervals on the connecting part 140. There are three reinforcing ribs 102, which are spaced apart along the length of the connecting part 140. The height of the three reinforcing ribs 102 is lower than the height of the upper edge of the limit, which can prevent water from seeping inward at the overlap and avoid the formation of gaps when the excessively high protrusion structure overlaps.
[0040] On the plate, multiple reinforcing ribs 102 are spaced apart on the side facing away from the step 101. Each adjacent reinforcing rib 102 is provided with a clearance opening 103, and the position of the clearance opening 103 corresponds to the nail hole position 141. For example, the shape of the clearance opening 103 matches the batten strip so that the edge of the clearance opening 103 is tightly engaged with the batten strip after installation, further preventing the tile from shifting and increasing the stability when the tile body 100 is connected to the batten strip.
[0041] In some embodiments, the tile arch 110, the tile body 120, the overlapping portion 130 and the connecting portion 140 are integrally formed, and the surface of the tile body 100 has a glaze layer.
[0042] Specifically, in the firing process, high-quality ceramic raw materials are selected and processed through proportioning, mixing, and molding to create a seamless, integrated antique-style tile blank. The blank is then placed in a high-temperature kiln and fired at 1230℃. During firing, the temperature and atmosphere are kept stable to ensure the stability of the tile's physical properties. After firing at 1230℃, the tile is integrally formed, achieving a fully vitrified state. The finished tile has a thickness of 15mm, reaching the thickness of traditional blue tiles. Furthermore, the design of the tile arch (110mm), tile body (120mm), overlap (130mm), and connection (140mm) allows for a larger coverage area per tile. During construction, a single tile can replace eight traditional blue tiles, requiring only 12 tiles per square meter. Compared to the dense laying method of 130 tiles per square meter for traditional blue tiles, this significantly reduces the amount of material used per square meter, lowering the load-bearing pressure on the roof, extending the overall lifespan of the building, greatly improving construction efficiency, and effectively reducing labor and material costs. Furthermore, its water absorption rate is less than 0.5%, its flexural strength is significantly improved, and it possesses excellent waterproof, wind-resistant, high-temperature resistant, and frost-resistant properties, which can fully meet the needs of modern building decoration and practical functions.
[0043] Because roof tiles are the most severely affected part of a building by external natural climate erosion, and due to the characteristics of the raw materials, efflorescence can occur during use after firing. To prevent efflorescence, in some embodiments, a glaze layer is applied to the surface of the tiles. This involves uniformly applying glaze to the surface of the tile blank using spraying, dipping, or pouring glazing processes before firing in a high-temperature kiln, thus forming a glaze layer on the tile surface. In this way, the glaze not only provides a uniform color and texture to the tiles but also further enhances their waterproof performance, preventing water penetration and effectively inhibiting efflorescence.
[0044] During installation, battens are first installed on the roof. These battens can be made of rectangular steel tubing, precisely cut to appropriate lengths according to actual needs. These steel sections are then welded to the roof joists, providing not only auxiliary installation positioning but also reliable support for the tiles. When assembling the tiles, seamless, antique-style tiles are used, installed row by row from bottom to top. Each tile is secured to the battens with screws through pre-set double-nail holes. The tiles are then joined using right-side overlapping clips, and a tight overlap is achieved through the double-corner structure of the upper and lower tiles. Alignment with the clip grooves during installation ensures a seamless connection between adjacent tiles. Thus, starting from the bottom of the roof, the tiles are laid row by row upwards until the entire roof is covered, creating a tight, integrated installation effect both longitudinally and laterally.

Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of the present disclosure.
