Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of floor locking structures, specifically a novel floor locking structure for outdoor installation. Background Technology
[0002] Outdoor flooring is a ground paving material designed specifically for outdoor environments. It has properties such as UV resistance, moisture resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance to adapt to harsh conditions such as temperature changes, rain immersion, sun exposure, and wind.
[0003] According to publicly available patent CN223088823U, a stable floor locking structure includes a floor body. One side of the floor body has a first tenon groove, and the other end of the floor body is fitted with a first tenon plate that engages with the first tenon groove. A second tenon plate is installed on the inner wall of the first tenon groove, and one side of the first tenon plate has a second tenon groove that engages with the second tenon plate. A transverse groove is formed inside the floor body, and wooden strips are engaged with the inner side of the transverse groove. Two adjacent sets of wooden strips are interlocked by a quick-locking mechanism. The quick-locking mechanism includes a movable docking component, an abutment component, and a dragging component. The movable docking component is used to initially assemble two adjacent sets of wooden strips, and the dragging component is used to unlock the two sets of wooden strips. This invention has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and further increases the connection strength between the floor bodies after installation.
[0004] However, in practice, the interlocking structure used in traditional new outdoor flooring typically relies on tongue and groove joints for assembly. During the actual assembly process, due to factors such as the processing precision of the tongue and groove joints, material properties, and minor deviations during installation, gaps of a certain width will remain at the joints. When it rains, a large amount of rainwater falls from the sky to the ground, and these gaps become channels for rainwater to seep and flow. Since outdoor ground often lacks effective drainage systems or drainage is not timely, rainwater cannot be quickly drained away and gradually accumulates under and around the flooring, eventually leading to waterlogging. Therefore, a new technical solution is needed to address this issue. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to practical needs, and provide a new type of locking structure for outdoor flooring. This solves the problem that the locking structures used in current traditional outdoor flooring are usually based on tongue and groove joints for flooring splicing. In actual splicing, due to various factors such as the processing precision between the tongue and groove and the joint, material characteristics, and minor deviations during installation, there will be gaps of a certain width at the joint. When it rains, a large amount of rainwater will fall from the sky to the ground, and the gaps at the flooring joints will become channels for rainwater. Rainwater will seep and flow along the gaps. Since outdoor ground often lacks an effective drainage system or drainage is not timely, rainwater cannot be drained quickly and will gradually accumulate under the floor and in the surrounding area, eventually leading to water accumulation on the ground.
[0006] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a novel outdoor flooring locking structure is designed, including a flooring body, a groove is provided at the front end of the flooring body, a slot is provided at the rear end of the groove, one end of the insert is inserted into the slot, a connecting block is fixed at the other end of the insert, a first waterproof component is provided on the surface of the connecting block, and a second waterproof component is provided at the rear end of the flooring body.
[0007] Preferably, the first waterproof component includes multiple rubber sealing plates, which are respectively installed on the upper and lower ends of the connecting block surface.
[0008] Preferably, the second waterproof component includes a frame-shaped sealing plate, which is installed at the rear end of the floor body.
[0009] Preferably, the floor body has connecting grooves on both the upper and lower rear ends, and the connecting grooves are matched with the rubber sealing plate.
[0010] Preferably, the rubber sealing plate and the frame-type sealing plate are provided with first threaded holes on both sides of the top. The first threaded holes are threadedly connected to the fixing bolts that penetrate the surface of the floor body, and are used to limit the insertion of the floor body.
[0011] Preferably, the top of the floor body has multiple arc-shaped grooves for drainage.
[0012] Preferably, the connecting block has second threaded holes on both sides of its top, which are used to fix the bolts after they pass through the first threaded holes on the surface of the frame-type sealing plate and are threadedly connected to the second threaded holes to limit the position of the connecting block.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. This utility model, through the combination of a first waterproof component, a second waterproof component, and a flooring body, allows for the interlocking assembly of multiple flooring bodies. Multiple rubber sealing plates on the surface of the connecting block are inserted into the connecting groove of another flooring body. Simultaneously, a frame-shaped sealing plate on the other flooring body embeds into the gap between the connecting block and the groove. Through the combined action of the frame-shaped sealing plate and the multiple rubber sealing plates, a multi-layered sealing structure is formed at the connection point, effectively improving the sealing performance at the connection between the flooring bodies and preventing gaps between multiple flooring bodies. This solves the problem of the locking mechanism used in traditional outdoor flooring installations. The structure is usually based on tongue and groove joints for floor splicing. In actual splicing, due to various factors such as the processing precision between the tongue and groove and the joint, the material characteristics, and minor deviations during installation, there will be gaps of a certain width at the joint. When it rains, a large amount of rainwater will fall from the sky to the ground, and the gaps at the floor splices will become channels for rainwater. Rainwater will seep and flow along the gaps. Since outdoor ground often lacks an effective drainage system or drainage is not timely, rainwater cannot be drained away quickly and will gradually accumulate under the floor and in the surrounding area, eventually leading to the technical problem of water accumulation on the ground.
[0015] 2. This utility model combines a fixing bolt, a connecting block, and a second threaded hole. The fixing bolt can be threadedly connected to both the connecting block and the frame-shaped sealing plate extending into the groove simultaneously. This connection method simultaneously limits and fixes the connecting block and the frame-shaped sealing plate, ensuring their stable position within the floor structure. Furthermore, when the connecting block and the rubber sealing plate are damaged due to long-term use or other reasons, only the fixing bolt needs to be removed to take them out together, making replacement convenient and quick without replacing the entire floor, thus greatly saving maintenance costs and time.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0022] Example 1: A novel outdoor flooring interlocking structure, see [link to example]. Figures 1 to 4 The system includes a floor body 1, a groove 2 at the front end of the floor body 1, a slot 303 at the rear end of the groove 2, one end of a plug 302 is inserted into the slot 303, a connecting block 201 is fixed to the other end of the plug 302, a first waterproof component is provided on the surface of the connecting block 201, and a second waterproof component is provided at the rear end of the floor body 1.
[0023] First, place one floor body 1 in a suitable position, and then insert another floor body 1. The insert 302 on the other floor body 1 is inserted into the slot 303 in the groove 2 of the placed floor body 1. At this time, the connecting block 201 fixed at the other end of the insert 302 enters the corresponding position.
[0024] For details, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first waterproof component includes multiple rubber sealing plates 202, which are respectively installed on the upper and lower ends of the surface of the connecting block 201. The second waterproof component includes a frame-shaped sealing plate 204, which is installed on the rear end of the floor body 1.
[0025] Multiple rubber sealing plates 202, located at both ends of the connecting block 201, insert into the connecting grooves 205 on the upper and lower sides of the rear end of the placed floor body 1. Simultaneously, a frame-shaped sealing plate 204 installed at the rear end of the placed floor body 1 embeds into the gap between the connecting block 201 and the groove 2. Through the combined action of the frame-shaped sealing plate 204 and the multiple rubber sealing plates 202, a multi-layered sealing structure is formed at the joint of the floor body 1, effectively preventing rainwater and other liquids from seeping through the joints, avoiding water accumulation on the floor due to gaps, and improving the sealing performance of the joints between the floor body 1s. Specifically, the rubber sealing plates 202, when inserted... When the floorboard body 1 is inserted into the rear connecting groove 205, it deforms under pressure, tightly fitting the groove wall to form multiple seals and fill tiny gaps. At the same time, the frame-shaped sealing plate 204 at the rear of the floorboard body 1 is embedded in the gap between the connecting block 201 and the groove 2, filling the gap and fitting with the surrounding structure to block the path of rainwater penetration. The two work together to not only enhance the sealing stability and ensure the effect even if some seals are damaged, but also block the channel for rainwater to seep from the splicing gap to the floor below. Combined with the arc-shaped groove 101 on the top of the floor for rapid drainage and to reduce rainwater retention, the problem of water accumulation on the ground is effectively avoided, and the sealing performance of the floor joint is improved.
[0026] It is worth noting that, see Figure 4 The floor body 1 has connecting grooves 205 on both the upper and lower sides of the rear end, and the connecting grooves 205 are matched with the rubber sealing plate 202.
[0027] It is worth noting that, see Figure 1 Both the rubber sealing plate 202 and the frame-type sealing plate 204 have first threaded holes 203 on their top sides. The first threaded holes 203 are threadedly connected to the fixing bolts 3 that penetrate the surface of the floor body 1, and are used to limit the insertion of the floor body 1.
[0028] It is worth emphasizing that, see Figure 1 The top of the floor body 1 has multiple arc-shaped grooves 101 for drainage.
[0029] The multiple arc-shaped grooves 101 on the top of the floor body 1 can play a drainage role in rainy weather, allowing rainwater falling on the top of the floor to be quickly discharged along the arc-shaped grooves 101, reducing the accumulation of rainwater on the top of the floor, and further reducing the impact of water accumulation on the floor.
[0030] It is worth mentioning that, see Figure 2 The connecting block 201 has second threaded holes 301 on both sides of its top, which are used to fix the bolt 3 after it passes through the first threaded hole 203 on the surface of the frame-type sealing plate 204 and is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole 301 to limit the connection block 201.
[0031] After the insertion is completed, the fixing bolt 3 at one end of the floor body 1 is used for limiting and fixing. After the fixing bolt 3 passes through the first threaded hole 203 on the surface of the frame-type sealing plate 204, it is then threadedly connected to the second threaded holes 301 on both sides of the top of the connecting block 201. This connection method can limit the position of the connecting block 201 and the frame-type sealing plate 204 at the same time, ensuring that the two are stable in the floor structure, and further enhancing the stability of the floor splicing. The fixing bolt 3 at the other end is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 203 on the surface of the rubber sealing plate 202 extending into the connecting groove 205. When the connecting block 201 and the rubber sealing plate 202 are damaged after long-term use of the floor, only the fixing bolt 3 needs to be removed to directly take out the connecting block 201 and the rubber sealing plate 202 together, and then replace them with new connecting blocks 201 and rubber sealing plates 202. There is no need to replace the entire floor, which greatly saves maintenance costs and time, and improves the service life and maintenance efficiency of the floor.
[0032] In addition, all components designed in this utility model are general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. Those skilled in the art can fully implement them, so there is no need to elaborate. The content protected by this utility model does not involve improvements to the internal structure and method.
