Retractable Locking Head for Quick Floor Dismantling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional floor members are difficult to dismantle and replace due to their interconnected design, requiring significant effort and resources, and they have limitations in material selection, installation requirements, production equipment needs, and high costs.
Innovation Solution
A quickly dismantlable floor member with a tetragon shape featuring automatic latches and female buckles that allow for easy installation and dismantling, using a retractable locking head mechanism that simplifies the joining and separation process, reducing the need for specialized tools and materials.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional floor members are joined using mortise-and-tenon structure with male and female buckles, then the floor members achieve close connection and cannot be easily separated, but the dismantling and replacement of damaged floor members becomes very inconvenient and requires removing all furniture and articles from the room
Solution Approach 1:
The floor member is divided into a main body and a separate locking component (locking head). The locking head can be independently operated to release the connection, allowing the floor member to be separated without dismantling the entire floor structure. This segmentation enables selective replacement of individual damaged members while maintaining the integrity of the overall floor system.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking head acts as an intermediary mechanism between floor members. It provides a controlled interface for joining and separating floor members, mediating the connection in a way that allows easy disengagement when needed while maintaining stable connection during normal use.
2Reliability
If latch-type floor members are used, then the floor members achieve secure joining, but the material selection becomes limited and installation requirements become stricter
Solution Approach 1:
The locking head is designed to be automatically engaged and disengaged through simple mechanical action. The floor member itself provides the locking mechanism without requiring external specialized tools or complex installation procedures. The locking head can be manually operated to secure or release the connection, making the system self-sufficient and easy to install.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking mechanism is designed to work with various materials and floor member types. The locking head can engage with different buckle configurations and can be used with various flooring materials, making the system universally applicable and not limited to specific material types or installation methods.
3Stability of the object's composition
If all floor members are interconnected with male and female buckles, then the floor forms an integral ground, but the workload for dismantling and installation becomes very high when replacement is needed
Solution Approach 1:
The locking system transitions from a static permanent connection to a dynamic controllable connection. The locking head can be easily actuated to change the connection state from locked to unlocked, allowing rapid dismantling and reinstallation. This dynamic capability maintains floor integrity during normal use while enabling quick replacement when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The locking head is pre-positioned on the floor member body, ready for immediate engagement with the buckle. This preliminary preparation eliminates the need for complex assembly operations during installation - the floor member can be quickly clicked into place by simply engaging the pre-positioned locking head with the buckle, dramatically reducing installation time.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a quickly dismantlable floor member and a spliced floor, to solve the technical problem that the conventional floor members cannot be dismantled conveniently for repairing and replacement. The quickly dismantlable floor member is of a tetragon shape, a lateral face of a first side of the quickly dismantlable floor member is provided with an automatic latch, the automatic latch comprises a locking head, the locking head is retractable, and the locking head is able to, after the quickly dismantlable floor member is installed, join with an neighboring conventional floor member. The spliced floor employs three or more quickly dismantlable floor members.
