correlation technique and problem thereof
In order vertically and perpendicular to the first horizontal direction mechanical engagement at edge to grow limit and minor face, can use some methods.A kind of the most frequently used method is angle engaging method.By drift angle tilt (angling) long limit is installed.Then along long side, panelling is moved to latched position.By horizontal snap lock minor face.Vertical bindiny mechanism is joint tongue and groove normally.During horizontal movement, crooked with the batten of locking member, and when EDGE CONTACT, this batten rebounds, and locking member enters lock slots horizontal lock panelling.Owing to may needing with hammer and knocking piece to overcome friction and the crooked batten between long limit during snap action, therefore this engagement connection is complicated.
Similarly locking system can also be manufactured with rigidity batten, and they connect by tilts-drift angle, drift angle gradient method, and wherein minor face and length limit all tilt to enter latched position.
Recently introduced very effective locked system, it has the independent flexible or movable integrated joint tongue being positioned on minor face, this joint tongue allows only by drift angle tilting action, to install, and this is commonly referred to " vertical folding (vertical folding) ".This system is at WO2006/043893(
innovation AB) in, have illustrated.
As described in Fig. 1 a-1f, on market, used several scheme.1a, 1b show the flex tongue 30 with the flexible snap-latch piece extending from edge.Fig. 1 c, 1d show the movable joint tongue with inner side flexible part, and this inner side flexible part can be in the cross section of joint tongue or along flatly bending of joint.This system is called vertical snap fit system.This locking system can also utilize thruster action locking, and while folding on subfloor downwards with the adjacent short side of box lunch, movable joint tongue 30 is pushed latched position from long side.Fig. 1 e shows the downward folding system with flex tongue 30, and this joint tongue and core are made one.Fig. 1 f shows the long limit locking system in downward folding system, and this system tilts to connect by drift angle.
All these locking systems all comprise horizontal lock, and this horizontal lock is completed by the cooperation hook of strip, and this batten has the locking member coordinating with lock slots.
At WO2006/104436, WO2007/015669, WO2008/004960, WO2010/087752(
innovation AB) in, described several downward folding system, the full content in these documents is all combined in herein and forms the part of this manual by reference clearly.
Although these systems are very effective, the space being still improved.In groove 40 above production period is difficult to the independent joint tongue 30 to be inserted in batten 6, this batten 6 comprises locking member 8.Lock slots 14 has reduced intensity, and edge may break.
When machined flange, the outstanding locking batten with locking member can cause waste, and in large brick bat shape floor board block, this waste may be sizable.
If batten 6 is compacter, shorter, and if remove locking member 8 and lock slots 14, this will be very favourable.
One of major advantage of folding system is downwards, and the limit of not rectificating must be movably.In fact, if because do not slided in long limit during drift angle tilts crowded the opening of minor face by flex tongue in some systems during folding, this will be very favourable.
WO2006/043893 has described the downward folding system of the outstanding batten with approximate horizontal, and this outstanding batten does not have locking member.This downward folding system does not have level connection joint mechanism and the minor face can be by for example bonding or be pinned on subfloor and lock.If this floor can be installed in the mode of floating, this will be favourable.
According to disclosed content, can utilize the locking system that comprises following long limit to realize this unsteady installation, that is, this long edge is grown first horizontal direction on limit and grows the second horizontal direction locking on limit along this perpendicular to this.After locking, do not produce mobile long limit and also minor face can be kept together and prevent that they separately.
Be known that the friction utilize increasing or utilize projection between long limit and minor face that space can prevent floor panel separately, this friction or projection and space will stop along the mutual movement at edge and so prevent that minor face from removing.
For example, from the US Patent No. 2,430,200 of Wilson, be known that joint tongue in mechanical locking system and the some projections between groove and depressed part can be for preventing the displacement along joint.These projections and depressed part are difficult to produce, and panelling only can be locked in the position that relative adjacent long edges is clearly limited, and, during their on top edge contacts, can not relative to each other move in drift angle obliquity.
The US Patent No. 4,426,820 of Terbrack has been described a kind of unpractical locking system, and this system has the accurate cooperation in the panelling of making at plastic material.This accurate cooperation can prevent from producing along joint mobile.
WO1994/026999(
innovation AB) a kind of mechanical locking system that carries out vertical and horizontal lock has been described, in this system, rubber batten or any other sealing device be applied in groove or the flat protrusion portion of batten and adjacent panel edge between, roughly as shown in Figure 1 f.Rubber batten can be used for improving the friction along joint.
WO98/22677(Golvabia) describe joint tongue-trough connection, wherein, used some dissimilar materials to improve friction, to prevent that edge-perpendicular from sliping off in this edge.The belt strip that exhibiting high surface is coated with rubber, plastics, foam rubber adhesive that is exemplified as that inserts or be applied in material in joint tongue-trough connection is fixed with the material that improves friction in this surface, for example husky, plastics or rubber grain.Also can use crude or coarse surface.
WO03/025307 and WO03/089736(
innovation AB) described and can or prevent along the movement on long limit by preventions such as height friction, glue, mechanical devices, and minor face can form and only has vertically device or do not have locking device completely.WO03/012224(
innovation AB) the soft elastic packing compound of having described based on acrylic plastics, synthetic rubber elastic body, polyurethane-base hotmelt etc. can be applied between horizontal lock surface, the moisture movement causing with compensate for dilatation or contraction.This elastomeric material rubs increase and prevents that long edge joint from moving.
The WO2004/083557 of Wernersson discloses the floor panel with mechanical locking, and wherein, the predetermined surface at edge is provided with spline.Do not disclose that how the geometry of this mechanical locking, this spline form and they be applied on which surface.
WO2006/123988(
innovation AB) described the panelling with slide lock system and comprised a plurality of little local protuberances, when panelling lies on subfloor, this projection prevents from moving along trip edge.This projection can lock against the flexible rubber material at adjacent panel place.Minor face only has vertically mechanism, and it comprises and core all-in-one-piece joint tongue.Panelling can be locked by vertical folding, and slide lock has prevented after folding the slip along joint.The folding system that only carries out vertically and comprise the minor face place of flexible independent joint tongue is not described.
These have some shortcomings for preventing the known technology of the movement on long limit, edge.Due to the expansion in wood fiber base panelling with shrink and may change frictional force, the friction being produced by pressure and little hard material is insecure, and therefore, panelling may be passed in time and slide, and minor face can be separated from each other.The lip-deep friction material that is applied to the effective horizontal lock surface of formation (for example locking surface at locking member, lock slots and adjacent bond edge, top) may change locking geometry and hinder simple and easy installation.
