Wear-Resistant Rubber Lining With Interlocking Ceramic Projections

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-forming recesses in the ceramic pieces before arrangement. These recesses are strategically designed to receive protrusions from adjacent ceramic pieces, creating a pre-configured interlocking system that prevents movement during the vulcanization pressing process, thereby ensuring uniform joint width without complex arrangement procedures

The patent employs asymmetry by designing the recesses and protrusions with specific asymmetric geometries. The recesses have particular shapes and positions that correspond to protrusions of adjacent pieces, creating an asymmetric interlocking pattern that effectively restrains ceramic piece movement in all directions during pressing, thus achieving precise and uniform joint formation

The patent applies composite materials by creating a hybrid structure that combines the resilient base layer with the rigid ceramic pieces featuring interlocking recesses and protrusions. This composite design allows the base layer to absorb impact forces while the interlocking mechanical features prevent relative movement between adjacent ceramic pieces, thereby preventing shear-induced joint peeling and maintaining both impact absorption and joint adhesion strength

The patent employs segmentation by dividing the ceramic lining into discrete pieces with interlocking features. Each ceramic piece is segmented to include specific recesses that engage with protrusions of neighboring pieces, creating a modular system where individual pieces can be supported resiliently by the base layer while maintaining fixed relative positions, thus preventing shear force from peeling joints during impact events
