[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution, including the following embodiments:

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment describes the basic splicing structure of the splicing foot pad.

[0031] Specifically, the mat includes multiple square mats 1, each with symmetrically arranged functional slots 13 on its sides. Inserts 2 are installed in the functional slots 13 on two adjacent sides of each square mat 1, each insert having a plug 21. Sleeves 3 are installed in the functional slots 13 on the other two sides of each square mat 1. When two square mats 1 are fitted together, the plug 21 of one square mat 1 engages with the sleeve 3 of the other square mat 1, enabling quick assembly and locking. The top of each square mat 1 has anti-slip protrusions 11 to increase friction and prevent slipping. Thickened protrusions 12 are located at the four corners of the top, on one side of the functional slots 13, to enhance the mat's durability and stability. The inserts 2 and sleeves 3 are detachable; the plugs 21 of the inserts 2 are flexible plastic heads, and the sleeves 3 are hard plastic sleeves with symmetrically arranged latches 33. When plug 21 is inserted into socket 3, the elastic deformation of plug 21 causes it to snap into slot 33, achieving quick locking and ensuring a secure connection. The splicing method of this embodiment allows users to freely assemble the most suitable door mat layout according to the specific shape and size of spaces such as doorways and corridors. Furthermore, damage to a single module does not affect the whole, and disassembly, cleaning, and replacement are extremely convenient. It also features high convenience and stability.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 This embodiment optimizes the detachability and flatness based on Embodiment 1.

[0034] Specifically, the plug-in 2 is designed to be completely removable. When multiple square foot pads 1 are joined together, the plug-in 2 located outside the joining area may protrude from the surface of the square foot pad 1, affecting flatness. Users can remove the protruding plug-in 2 from the functional slot 13 as needed to avoid tripping while walking. A flexible mounting pad 4 is fixedly installed in the functional slot 13 corresponding to the plug-in 2 with adhesive. An integrated support pad 41 is provided on the flexible mounting pad 4. The integrated protrusion 42 on the support pad 41 moves within the integrated slot 22 on the plug-in 2, enabling the plug-in 2 to be quickly and securely inserted. By moving the support pad 41, the plug-in 2 can be slightly displaced within the functional slot 13, facilitating installation or removal. When the plug-in 2 is not in use, the elastic restoring effect of the support pad 41 allows the plug-in 2 to be stably stored, keeping the surface of the square foot pad 1 flat. This design improves the applicability of the foot pads, especially suitable for environments that require frequent adjustments or where protrusions need to be avoided.

[0035] Example 3

[0036] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 7 This embodiment focuses on describing the stabilization mechanism of the flexible component.

[0037] Specifically, a flexible insert 5 is fixedly installed in the functional slot 13 corresponding to the insert 3 by adhesive. The inner protrusion 51 on the flexible insert 5 moves within the through slot 32 opened on the extension plate 31 on one side of the insert 3. When the insert 3 is installed into the functional slot 13, the inner protrusion 51 generates friction by pressing against the wall of the through slot 32, so that the insert 3 is stably positioned on the square foot pad 1 and prevents it from loosening. Simultaneously, after the plug-in 2 is inserted, the support pad 41 of the flexible mounting pad 4 deforms and stores force as it moves towards the side plate of the square foot pad 1. Then, the plug-in 2 is inserted into the sleeve 3. By releasing the support pad 41, it recovers its deformation and pulls the sleeve 3. Since the sleeve 3 is stable within the flexible pad 5 on the square foot pad 1, it will cause the square foot pad 1 associated with the sleeve 3 and the square foot pad 1 associated with the plug-in 2 to move closer together, thereby reducing the gap between the two square foot pads 1 and improving the overall integrity of the connection. By utilizing the elastic reset characteristic of the support pad 41, an inward force is applied, causing the two square foot pads 1 to move closer together, improving the tightness of the splicing. The flexible mounting pad 4 is also provided with an integrated sealing pad 43. The sealing pad 43 is movably connected to the inner wall of the functional groove 13, and the sealing pad 43 is movably set on the slot 22 to seal the slot 22 and prevent dust or foreign objects from entering. This flexible design ensures the stability and durability of the splicing and adapts to the compression and deformation in daily use.

[0038] Example 4

[0039] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 This embodiment describes a safe detachment mechanism to prevent damage caused by excessive pulling.

[0040] Specifically, when two joined square foot pads 1 are subjected to external pulling force, the sealing pad 43 of the flexible mounting pad 4 acts as a buffer. Initially, the protrusion 42 engages with the slot 22, achieving a normal connection. When the pulling force is small, the elastic deformation of the sealing pad 43 absorbs energy and maintains the connection. If the pulling force is too large, the protrusion 42 disengages from the slot 22 and squeezes the sealing pad 43, causing it to conform to the inner wall of the functional groove 13. At this time, the plug 2 can detach from the deformed sealing pad 43 and the support pad 41, preventing damage to the square foot pad 1 itself. This design is similar to a safety valve, protecting the foot pad structure in extreme situations. The insertion and engagement of the plug 21 and the sleeve 3 also possesses elastic release characteristics: after the plug 21 is inserted into the sleeve 3, its elastic material releases tension at the locking point 33, achieving rapid locking; when pulled in the opposite direction, elastic deformation allows for smooth disengagement, reducing hard damage. This embodiment improves the safety of the foot pad under accidental pulling conditions and extends its service life.

[0041] Working principle: Quick assembly is achieved by the plug 21 of the plug 2 engaging with the sleeve 3 of the adjacent square foot pad 1. The elastic deformation of the plug 21 locks into the slot 33 of the sleeve 3. The plug 2 is designed to be completely removable; after assembly, the external plug 2 can be removed to prevent tripping. A flexible mounting pad 4 is fixed within the functional slot 13 of the plug 2. The support pad 41 on the support pad 41 is movable into the slot 22 of the plug 2 via a protrusion 42 for limiting its position. Moving the support pad 41 can displace the plug 2, utilizing its... The elastic reset ensures that the square foot pad 1 fits tightly; a flexible insert pad 5 is fixed in the functional groove 13 corresponding to the insert sleeve 3, and the inner protrusion 51 on it moves in the through groove 32 of the insert sleeve 3. The friction generated by the compression makes the insert sleeve 3 stably installed; the flexible mounting pad 4 is also provided with a sealing pad 43, which is movably set on the slot 22 to seal and prevent dust. When subjected to excessive pulling force, the protrusion 42 disengages from the slot 22 and squeezes the sealing pad 43, so that the insert 2 can safely disengage from the deformable sealing pad 43 and the support pad 41, avoiding damage to the square foot pad 1.

[0042] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
