Description

Floor tile technology

The utility model relates to indoor and outdoor decoration, in particular to a floor brick having a novel shape. Background technique

The small piece of solid wood trim that is cut off from the conventional floor is often difficult to use. The most reasonable way to use it is to make the floor tiles. Floor tiles are mainly used in indoor and outdoor areas such as courtyards, terraces, swimming pools, etc. The floor tiles are composed of a plurality of floor panels spliced on a bottom plate, and most of the floor tiles pass through the grooves and the ridges disposed on the side edges of the bottom plate. They are joined together and laid on the ground according to their shape. Due to its simple structure and convenient splicing, floor tiles are popular among consumers in some high-end residential and holiday destinations. In recent years, demand has been in short supply.

The floor tiles on the market are almost all square. The bottom plate has criss-crossing ribs. The rectangular floor tiles are neatly arranged on the bottom plate to be fixed with them, which are not horizontal or vertical, so the pattern of the floor tiles is relatively simple.

In order to improve this situation, another form is to make the square floor tiles appear diagonally arranged floorboards by changing the shape of the floorboard.

Even so, ordinary floor tiles have the following major disadvantages: First, the ends of all floor blocks can only be placed on the edge of the bottom plate, that is, from one edge of the bottom plate to the other edge, which cannot be arbitrarily spliced at Second, each floor tile is independent of each other, that is, the floor block can only be fixed on the same bottom plate, can not be spliced across the two bottom plates, and also limits the splicing form; third, the common floor tile splicing form Single, for buyers who like DIY, their initiative is very limited, so they generally buy floor tiles for off-the-shelf products, which lacks hands-on fun. Fourth, square floor tiles are not easily deformed by the criss-crossing ribs. Or increase the arrangement density of the ribs, or increase the diagonal ribs to increase the strength, so that the material for the bottom plate is increased, and the cost is increased. Summary of the invention

The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a floor tile, which can make the floor block arbitrarily spliced on the bottom plate, can be spliced across multiple floor plates, and the floor structure is stable, and the planar structure formed by splicing multiple floor tiles is relatively stable. .

The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above technical problems is: a floor tile, which is composed of a plurality of floor blocks fixed on the bottom plate, wherein the bottom plate is a plurality of connection points inside the frame and the frame, and connection points and connections a hollow skeleton composed of a plurality of ribs of a point, a connecting point and a frame, and is characterized in that

The bottom plate is equally divided into a plurality of equilateral triangle shapes, and a connection point is formed at at least a part of the midpoint and the end point of the equilateral triangle;

The floorboard is formed into an integral shape by one or more congruent equilateral triangles, and a connection point is formed at a position of a center point of at least a part of the equilateral triangle, corresponding to a position of a connection point on the bottom plate, and the connection point is disposed at The lower surface of the floorboard.

The so-called shape that can be equally divided into a plurality of equilateral triangles, including a hexagon (the ratio of the lengths of the sides thereof is an integer ratio), an equilateral triangle, an isosceles trapezoid (the ratio of the lengths of the top, bottom, and sides) Integer ratio), parallelogram (the ratio of the length of each side is an integer ratio), and other polygons.

The bottom plate is a regular hexagonal bottom plate. The floor tile structure based on the regular hexagonal bottom plate is the most stable, because the multiple bottom plates are spliced into a honeycomb-like structure, and the structures have interactions, so that the bottom plate is not provided with grooves and tenons for interconnection, after splicing The base plates can also be locked to each other without displacement.

The bottom plate may be an equilateral triangle bottom plate, an isosceles trapezoidal bottom plate, and a parallelogram bottom plate. The bottom plates of the above several shapes are specifically: the equilateral triangular bottom plate has the same side length; the isosceles trapezoidal bottom plate has the top side and the two side edges being equal in length, and the bottom side is twice the length of the top side; the parallelogram bottom plate, The adjacent sides are equal in length, or the longer adjacent sides are twice as long as the shorter adjacent sides. The above forms are all formed by the regular triangle as the basic unit. Since they can be assembled into a regular hexagon, they can also be used, but the assembly needs to follow a certain pattern to achieve the excellent assembling effect of the regular hexagonal bottom plate. And the bottom plate of the present invention is not limited to the shapes described above. Based on the above solution, the floorboard is a parallelogram formed by a linear arrangement of a plurality of equilateral triangles, or a positive trapezoid formed by three or more singular equilateral triangles, or an equilateral triangle.

Specifically, the floor panel is an equilateral triangle; a parallelogram formed by two congruent triangles; an isosceles trapezoid composed of three congruent triangles; a parallelogram formed by four congruent triangles; and so on.

The side length of the equilateral triangle constituting the shape of the floor block is an integral multiple of the side length of the equilateral triangle constituting the shape of the bottom plate, so that the connection point on the floor block at the midpoint of the equilateral triangle and the midpoint of the equilateral triangle and the end point on the bottom plate are The connection points are completely matched so as to be accurately attached to the bottom plate.

Since the bottom plate and the floor block are all structural units in the above-mentioned explanation, the floor block can be spliced at any connection point of the bottom plate, and is not limited to splicing only from the edge; and after the bottom plates are assembled with each other, the floor block is also It can be spliced across two or more base plates, greatly improving the splicing freedom.

On the basis of the above solution, in order to fix the bottom plate and the floor panel, the connection point on the bottom plate is set as a hole, and the connection point on the lower surface of the matching floor block is set as a pin. Similarly, the bottom plate can be provided as a pin, and the floor block is provided as a hole. Since the floor block is generally solid wood material, it is easy to damage the floor by providing holes or holes in the floor block, and it is inconvenient to process.

The total number of connection points (pins) provided on the floorboard is not more than the total number of connection points (holes) provided on the bottom plate. According to the principle of two-point positioning, the pin on the floor is kept as small as possible under the premise of ensuring that it can be fixed on the bottom plate, and the floor formed by a single equilateral triangle only has a pin at the center thereof. Therefore, in the floor block and the floor plate Under the same area, the total number of pins is not more than the total number of holes.

In order to connect a plurality of bottom plates, the frame of the bottom plate is provided with grooves and projections for connecting the bottom plates to each other. The groove and the tenon match each other and correspond to the connection.

At least one set of grooves and ridges are disposed on each side of the bottom frame. Taking the regular hexagonal bottom plate of the present invention as an example, a set of grooves and tenons are provided on the six side edges.

According to the position setting of the connection point on the bottom plate, ribs are formed between each connection point, and the ribs are The frame connection constitutes a skeleton, and the arrangement of the plurality of ribs forms a plurality of regular hexagons which overlap each other, and is similar to a honeycomb network structure. Since the regular hexagon structure is stable, the strength of the bottom plate is reliable.

However, the honeycomb hexagonal structure enables considerable strength even if no ribs are provided between each connection point, so in order to reduce the manufacturing cost of the bottom plate, no ribs may be provided between a part of the connection points. A reasonable technical solution is that the ribs connecting the connection points and the connection points on the bottom plate are disposed between any two connection points closest to each other. This arrangement keeps the length of the ribs to a minimum.

Based on the above solution, the connection point of any three distances on the bottom plate is further reduced, and a pair of the connection points are not provided with ribs.

The ribs arranged according to the above scheme constitute one diamond-shaped unit, which may be arranged in a honeycomb shape or in a fishnet shape.

The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

1. The end of the floor block can be spliced at any position on the edge of the bottom plate and inside the bottom plate; the floor block can be spliced across two or more floors; the splicing angle between the floor blocks is arbitrary, and the freedom is very large;

2. The floor tile of the utility model is particularly suitable for the purchaser to assemble by hand, and the initiative is strong, which greatly increases the fun of assembling;

3. The structure of the bottom plate structure with honeycomb network structure is extremely stable and not easy to be deformed. Compared with the traditional vertical and horizontal cross-disconnection structure, the number of ribs is reduced, thereby reducing the amount of materials and reducing the cost;

4. The regular hexagonal floor tiles of the present invention are arranged in a honeycomb structure, which has a structural effect of locking each other, and the side edges of the bottom plate may not have grooves and ridges for connection. DRAWINGS
