Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wood flooring technology, specifically to a snap-fit floor and connector. Background Technology
[0002] The wood flooring industry is currently facing a severe dual challenge. With the increasing scarcity of high-quality timber resources and rising raw material costs, coupled with consumers' growing demands for better value for money, the industry urgently needs innovative solutions to improve resource utilization while ensuring product quality. Traditional flooring generally relies on mortise and tenon joints, a connection method with significant limitations in practical applications. First, forming the tongue and groove requires deep cutting and machining on the sides of the wood flooring, resulting in a significant waste of precious timber resources. Second, the installation process requires extremely high positioning accuracy, making construction difficult and time-consuming, and adjustments are difficult to make if errors occur. More importantly, wood naturally expands and contracts with changes in environmental temperature and humidity, which can easily lead to deformation of the mortise and tenon joints over long-term use, causing problems such as warping, loosening, or gaps in the flooring. This not only affects the user experience but also hinders the sustainable development of the industry. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a snap-fit floor and connector to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

Bent clips are placed at both ends of the flat plate; A limiting part is placed on the top of the flat plate, and a groove is formed between the limiting part and the bend clip for locking and fixing with the floor.
[0005] Preferably, one end of the inner wall of the bent clip is tangent to the top of the plate, and the other end of the bent clip is fixed with a limiting protrusion along the tangential direction, the limiting protrusion being parallel to the plate.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0015] Please see Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, this utility model provides a technical solution: a connector for a snap-fit floor, comprising a connector body 2, the connector body 2 including a base plate 8, a flat plate 7 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 8, the base plate 8 and the flat plate 7 forming a T-shaped structure; a bent clip 3 placed at both ends of the flat plate 7; a limiting part placed at the top of the flat plate 7, a groove 6 formed between the limiting part and the bent clip 3 for snap-fitting and fixing with the floor, one end of the inner wall of the bent clip 3 being tangent to the top of the flat plate 7, the other end of the bent clip 3 being fixedly connected to a limiting protrusion along the tangential direction, the limiting protrusion being parallel to the flat plate 7, the limiting part including a connecting plate 4 fixedly connected to the middle position of the top of the flat plate 7, a limiting round rod 5 fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 4, the limiting round rod 5 having a circular structure along the direction perpendicular to the axis, and the diameter of the circular structure being larger than the width of the connecting plate 4, the groove 6 being located between the limiting round rod 5 and the bent clip 3.
[0016] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the main body of the splicing floor 1 is a "mountain" shaped structure, and its two ends are arc-shaped structures bent inward. The space between the connecting plate 4 and the bent clip 3 can be interference-fitted with the connection of the wooden board. The bent clip 3 can be squeezed and stuck into the corresponding groove of the floor. The bottom plate 8 is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the flat plate 7 to support the connection structure and strengthen the locking strength. After splicing, the bottom of the bottom plate 8 is flush with the bottom of the floor, so that the splicing floor 1 and the connecting body 2 fit together perfectly without any extra protruding structure. The length of the connecting body 2 is equal to the sum of the distances of the straight grooves 11 of the two adjacent splicing floor pieces 1, and the material of the connecting body 2 is mainly aluminum alloy.
[0017] A snap-fit floor includes a snap-fit floor 1 and the aforementioned connector body 2. The snap-fit floor 1 is composed of multiple floor units 9 connected by the connector body 2. Both ends of the floor unit 9 are provided with arc-shaped grooves 10 that cooperate with the limiting round rods 5. Two straight grooves 11 are symmetrically opened at the bottom of the floor unit 9. The area between the arc-shaped grooves 10 and the straight grooves 11 forms a locking block 12 that cooperates with the locking groove 6.
[0018] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when splicing and installing the floor unit 9, the limiting round rod 5 of the connector body 2 is placed in the arc groove 10, and then the bent clip 3 is pressed into the straight groove 11 corresponding to the floor unit 9. The connector body 2 rotates under the limiting round rod 5. During the rotation, the connector body 2 undergoes slight deformation under the action of the floor, pressing the bent clip 3 into the straight groove 11. After the bent clip 3 and the straight groove 11 are engaged, the material of the connector body 2 restores its original shape, so that the slot 6 wraps around the outside of the clip 12, and the bottom corner of the clip 12 is located at the bottom of the connecting plate 4. Then, the clip 12 of another floor unit 9 is placed in the slot 6, and the arc groove 10 is engaged with the limiting round rod 5. Then, the floor is pressed down forcefully, and the straight groove 11 at the bottom of the floor unit 9 is engaged with the bent clip 3 of the connector body 2, thus completing the splicing of the floor unit 9. This process is repeated to achieve the splicing and installation of multiple floor units 9.
