Abstract

A flooring panel (10) has interlocking edge profiles (2, 3) to secure the panels in both horizontal and vertical settings. The upper surface of the panels is provided with a decorative pattern and the edges are chamfered (20) to provide V-grooves between the panels. The chamfers and the interlocking profiles are protected by a melamine layer applied as impregnated paper or by direct coating, and heat cured. The chamfers are coloured to match or compliment the panel pattern. The design can be applied to flooring panels made of all types of materials.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Paneel, insbesondere ein Fussbodenpaneel, aus einem Holzwerkstoff, das mit Mitteln zum lösbaren Verbinden mindestens zweier Paneele versehen ist. An zumindest einer Seitenkante eines ersten Paneels sind Formschlusselemente zur Verriegelung in Vertikalrichtung und in Horizontalrichtung mit einem weiteren Paneel ausgebildet, wobei von einer Oberseite des Paneels ausgehend an zumindest einer Seitenkante eine Fase ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a panel, in particular a floor panel, made of a wood material, which is provided with means for releasably connecting at least two panels. Forming elements for locking in the vertical direction and in the horizontal direction are formed on at least one side edge of a first panel with a further panel, a chamfer being formed on at least one side edge starting from an upper side of the panel.

Ein solches Paneel ist aus der WO 01/96688 A1 bekannt. In dem Stand der Technik wird die durch Fräsen entstandene Fase entweder unbehandelt belassen oder aber durch einen Dekorstreifen abgedeckt, der entweder auflaminiert oder aufgeklebt wird. Ein solches Verfahren ist sehr aufwendig und erfordert hochgenaues Arbeiten, da die Fasen sehr schmal sind. Die Fertigungskosten sind auf Grund der entsprechend langsameren Prozessgeschwindigkeiten hoch, ebenfalls kommt es bei ungenauem Verkleben zu optisch wenig ansprechenden Produkten oder zu einer mangelhaften Abdeckung, was bei einem Flüssigkeitseintrag zum Aufquellen des Holzwerkstoffes führt.Such a panel is from the WO 01/96688 A1 known. In the prior art, the bevel resulting from milling either left untreated or covered by a decorative strip, which is either laminated or glued. Such a process is very complicated and requires high-precision work, since the chamfers are very narrow. The manufacturing costs are high due to the correspondingly slower process speeds, it also comes with inaccurate gluing to optically ineligible products or poor coverage, resulting in a liquid entry to swell the wood material.

Die DE 199 29 635 A1 beschreibt ein leicht handhabbares Paneelelement mit vielfacher Oberflächengestaltung, bei der eine seitliche Kante als eine Nut und die andere Kante als eine Feder oder als Nut ausgebildet sein kann. Die obere Nutwange ist vorderseitig als ein Rundprofil oder Faserprofil abgerundet bzw. gefast. Auf der Oberseite der Trägerplatte kann eine Fumierschicht aufgeleimt sein.The DE 199 29 635 A1 describes an easily manageable panel element with multiple surface design, in which one lateral edge may be formed as a groove and the other edge as a spring or as a groove. The upper groove cheek is rounded or chamfered on the front as a round profile or fiber profile. On the top of the carrier plate, a Fumierschicht may be glued.

Die DE 203 15 676 U1 beschreibt ein Paneel, insbesondere Bodenpaneel mit einem Kern aus einem Holzwerkstoff und einem auf einer Sichtseite aufgebrachten Dekor, wobei die Sichtseite an zumindest einer Seitenkante mit einer im Winkel hierzu verlaufenden Fase versehen ist und die Fase ebenfalls mit einem Dekor versehen ist.The DE 203 15 676 U1 describes a panel, in particular floor panel with a core of a wood material and applied on a visible side decor, the visible side is provided on at least one side edge with an angle thereto extending chamfer and the chamfer is also provided with a decor.

Die DE 203 17 527 U1 beschreibt ein Fussbodenpaneel mit einer Trägerplatte und einer dekorativen Schicht auf der Oberseite, die aus einem sogenannten Overlay gebildet ist. Das Overlay ist auf Basis eines thermoaushärtenden Harzes ausgeführt. An der Oberseite des Fussbodenpaneels sind eingedrückte Vertiefungen geformt. An den Seitenkanten sind Formschlusselemente zur formschlüssigen Verriegelung zweier Paneele sowohl in Horizontal- als auch in Vertikalrichtung vorgesehen.The DE 203 17 527 U1 describes a floor panel with a support plate and a decorative layer on the top, which is formed of a so-called overlay. The overlay is based on a thermosetting resin. Depressed recesses are formed on the top of the floor panel. On the side edges positive locking elements are provided for the positive locking of two panels in both horizontal and vertical directions.

Die DE 201 08 951 U1 beschreibt ein Fussbodenlaminat mit einer Nut- und Federausgestaltung, die mit einer Nutz- und Dekorlage aus elektronenstrahlgehärtetem Material überzogen sind. Die Dekorlage ist einstückig ausgebildet und umfasst die abgerundeten und abgeschrägten Bereiche des Grundkörpers, um eine einheitliche fugen- oder kantenlose Oberfläche des Laminats zu erzielen. Die Nutz- und Dekorlage ist in die Nut hineingeklappt und erstreckt sich bis zur Stirnfläche der Feder und deckt diese teilweise ab.The DE 201 08 951 U1 describes a floor laminate with a tongue and groove design, which are covered with a utility and decorative layer of electron beam hardened material. The decorative layer is integrally formed and includes the rounded and beveled portions of the body to achieve a uniform joint or edgeless surface of the laminate. The utility and decorative layer is folded into the groove and extends to the end face of the spring and covers it partially.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein bezüglich der Oberflächenversiegelung verbessertes Paneel bereitzustellen.Based on this prior art, the object of the invention is to provide a surface seal improved panel.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Formschlusselemente mit zumindest einer Melaminschicht imprägniert sind, wodurch sich eine höhere Beständigkeit des Paneels bezüglich des mechanischen Verschleißes oder gegen das Eindringen von Wasser erreichen lassen. Weiterhin wird eine höhere Qualität gegenüber dem Stand der Technik hinsichtlich der Versiegelung der Fasenoberfläche gewährleistet.According to the invention this object is achieved in that the interlocking elements are impregnated with at least one melamine layer, which can achieve a higher resistance of the panel with respect to the mechanical wear or against the ingress of water. Furthermore, a higher quality than the prior art with respect to the sealing of the chamfer surface is ensured.

In einer Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, dass auf der Oberseite des Paneels eine Dekorschicht aufgebracht ist, die vorzugsweise aus einer melamingeträhkten Papierschicht besteht. Auf der Oberfläche der Fase ist ebenfalls eine Dekorschicht aus Papier aufgebracht, alternativ ist die Fase lackiert oder bedruckt, vorzugsweise in Farbe der Dekorschicht. Nachträglich wird die so behandelte Fase mit Melamin beschichtet oder imprägniert, wodurch die gewünschte Beständigkeit gegen Wasser oder mechanischem Abrieb erzielt wird. Diese Beschichtung der Verriegelungselemente und ggf der Fase dient gleichzeitig als Versiegelung des Holzwerkstoffes gegen mechanische Belastung und Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit oder Fremdkörpern. Die aufgetragene Lackschicht oder der Druck weist alternativ eine der Dekorschicht angenäherte Farbgebung auf, so dass eine möglichst gleichmäßige Farbgebung der Oberfläche im verlegten Zustand erreicht wird. Alternativ können auf Grund ästhetischer Vorlieben kontrastierende Farbgebungen vorgesehen sein, so dass die zwischen zwei Paneelen entstehende, V-förmige Stossfuge hervorgehoben wird. Eine farbliche Gestaltung ist insbesondere dann vorteilhaft, wenn die Trägerplatte der Dekorschicht aus einem Faserwerkstoff hergestellt wurde, die im allgemeinen eine farblich weniger ansprechende Gestaltung aufweisen. Sofern andere Holzwerkstoffe verwendet werden, beispielsweise bei der Verwendung von Spanplatten oder OSB-Platten, können auf eine Dekorschicht verzichtet werden, üblicherweise werden jedoch Klarsichtfolien oder durchsichtige Schutzschichten auf die Oberflächen solcher Werkstoffe aufgepresst, um einen Oberflächenschutz zu gewährleisten.In a further development it is provided that a decorative layer is applied to the top of the panel, which preferably consists of a melamineträhkten paper layer. On the surface of the chamfer a decorative layer of paper is also applied, alternatively, the chamfer is painted or printed, preferably in color of the decorative layer. Subsequently, the thus treated bevel is coated or impregnated with melamine, whereby the desired resistance to water or mechanical abrasion is achieved. This coating of the locking elements and optionally the chamfer serves as a seal of the wood material against mechanical stress and penetration of moisture or foreign bodies. The applied lacquer layer or the print alternatively has a coloring approaching the decorative layer, so that the most uniform coloring of the surface in the installed state is achieved. Alternatively, due to aesthetic preferences, contrasting colors may be provided so that the V-shaped butt joint formed between two panels is emphasized. A color design is particularly advantageous if the carrier plate of the decorative layer has been produced from a fiber material, which generally have a less color-responsive design. If other wood-based materials are used, for example, when using chipboard or OSB boards, can be dispensed with a decorative layer, but usually transparencies or transparent protective layers are pressed onto the surfaces of such materials to ensure surface protection.

Zur Erhöhung der Durchlaufgeschwindigkeiten ist es vorgesehen, dass das aufgetragene Melamin über einen Wärmestrahler oder einen Heizkanal getrocknet wird. Zur Vermeidung eines vorzeitigen Aushärtens oder Verklumpens oder einer ungleichmäßigen Beschichtung ist es vorgesehen, dass in der Umgebung des Auftragkopfes ein Normklima geschaffen wird, so dass der Melamin- oder Lackauftrag stets unter gleichen mikroklimatischen Bedingungen durchgeführt wird. Dies geschieht dadurch, dass die Luft in der Umgebung des Lackkopfes befeuchtet wird.To increase the throughput speeds, it is provided that the applied melamine is dried over a heat radiator or a heating channel. To avoid premature curing or lumping or a non-uniform coating, it is provided that in the environment of the applicator head a standard climate is created, so that the melamine or lacquer application is always carried out under the same microclimatic conditions. This happens because the air is moistened in the vicinity of the paint head.

Nachfolgend wird anhand der Figuren ein Beispiel erläutert welches das Verständnis der Erfindung erleichtert. Es zeigen:

Figur 1 -
eine schematische Darstellung eines Paneels in Querschnittsansicht; sowie
Figur 2 -

An example will be explained with reference to the figures which facilitates the understanding of the invention. Show it:
FIG. 1 -
a schematic representation of a panel in cross-sectional view; such as
FIG. 2 -
a detailed view of the FIG. 1 ,

Figur 1 zeigt ein Paneel 1 in einer Querschnittsansicht, das auf einer Oberseite 15 mit einer Dekorschicht 16 und auf einer Unterseite 5 mit einer sogenannten Gegenzugschicht 6 beschichtet ist. Der Kern 10 des Paneels 1 besteht aus einem MDFoder HDF-Werkstoff und wird unter hohem Druck bei der Herstellung komprimiert. Die Dekorschicht 16 und Gegenzugschicht 6 dienen als Stabilisierungsfilm und verleihen dem Paneel 1 eine strapazierfähige Oberfläche. Die an den Seitenkanten angeordneten Formschlusselemente 2, 3 dienen zur Verriegelung mehrerer Paneele miteinander und verriegeln die Paneele sowohl in Horizontalrichtung H als auch in Vertikalrichtung V. Neben der dargestellten Ausbildung können auch Lege- oder Schwenkprofile an den Seitenkanten vorhanden sein. FIG. 1 shows a panel 1 in a cross-sectional view, which is coated on a top 15 with a decorative layer 16 and on a bottom 5 with a so-called Gegenzugschicht 6. The core 10 of the panel 1 is made of MDF or HDF material and is compressed under high pressure during manufacture. The decorative layer 16 and backing layer 6 serve as a stabilizing film and give the panel 1 a durable surface. The arranged on the side edges of form-locking elements 2, 3 serve to lock several panels together and lock the panels both in the horizontal direction H and in the vertical direction V. In addition to the illustrated training also Lege or pivoting profiles may be present on the side edges.

Alternativ zu der Verwendung von Faserplatten als Kern 10 können OSB-Werkstoffe, Spanplatten oder Schichtholz verwendet werden. Von der Oberseite 15 ausgehend ist an den beiden Seitenkanten je eine Fase 20 ausgefräst, die im verriegelten Zustand eine V-förmige Stossfuge ausbilden.As an alternative to the use of fiberboard as core 10, OSB materials, chipboard or plywood can be used. Starting from the upper side 15, a chamfer 20, which forms a V-shaped butt joint in the locked state, is milled out on the two side edges.

Um ein Aufquellen des Kernes 10 zu vermeiden und um das Paneel 1 haltbarer zu machen, ist es vorgesehen, dass die Oberflächen der Fasen 20 mit einer Lackschicht, einer Papierschicht oder einem Druck versehen sind, die mit einer Melaminschicht 21 überzogen sind.In order to avoid swelling of the core 10 and to make the panel 1 more durable, it is provided that the surfaces of the chamfers 20 are provided with a lacquer layer, a paper layer or a pressure, which are coated with a melamine layer 21.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Detailansicht des Paneels 1 in vergrößerter Darstellung, aus der zu erkennen ist, dass an einer Seitenkante des Paneels 1 von der Dekorschicht 16 und dem Kern 10 Material entfernt, vorzugsweise abgefräst wurde. Diese vorzugsweise unter einem Winkel von 45° angeordnete Fase 20 ist mit einer Melaminschicht 21 überzogen, wobei die Melaminschicht 21 nach dem Lackieren, Bedrucken oder Beschichten mit einem Papierschicht aufgetragen wird. FIG. 2 shows a detailed view of the panel 1 in an enlarged view, from which it can be seen that on a side edge of the panel 1 of the decorative layer 16 and the core 10 material removed, preferably milled. These preferably Chamfer 20 arranged at an angle of 45 ° is coated with a melamine layer 21, the melamine layer 21 being applied after painting, printing or coating with a paper layer.

Der Lack kann als deckender Lack ausgebildet sein, wenn der Kern 10 des Paneels 1 eine unerwünschte Farbgebung aufweist. Insbesondere bei Verwendung von Naturhölzern, wie bei einem Schichtholz oder bei OSB-Platten, muss keine Dekorschicht vorhanden sein, vielmehr reicht eine Oberflächenversiegelung, beispielsweise durch eine durchsichtige Melaminfolie, aus. Dann kann der aufzutragende Lack und die Melaminschicht 21 zur Versiegelung der Fase 20 auch durchsichtig sein.The paint may be formed as opaque paint when the core 10 of the panel 1 has an undesirable color. In particular, when using natural woods, such as in a laminated wood or OSB boards, no decorative layer must be present, but a surface seal, for example, by a transparent melamine film is sufficient. Then, the paint to be applied and the melamine layer 21 for sealing the bevel 20 may also be transparent.

Alternativ zu einer farblich abgestimmten Ausbildung der Lackschicht oder der Melaminschicht 21 kann diese zur Dekorschicht 16 kontrastierend ausgebildet sein, um die Ausbildung der Fuge zu betonen.As an alternative to a color-coordinated formation of the lacquer layer or the melamine layer 21, this may be designed to be contrasting with the decorative layer 16 in order to emphasize the formation of the joint.

Im Gegensatz zu einer Folienaufklebung auf die Fase 20 hat die Lackierung oder das Bedrucken und das anschließende Beschichten mit Melamin eine höhere Qualität hinsichtlich der Feuchtigkeits- und Abriebbeständigkeit, ebenfalls ist die Prozessführung einfacher und hohe Durchlaufgeschwindigkeiten und damit eine erhöhte Produktivität können erreicht werden. Die Trocknung des Lackes, der Druckfarbe und des Melamins erfolgt durch einen Wärmestrahler, der vorzugsweise in einem Bereich von 200°C bis 400°C arbeitet.In contrast to a foil application to the chamfer 20, the lacquering or the printing and the subsequent coating with melamine has a higher quality in terms of moisture and abrasion resistance, also the process management is easier and high throughput speeds and thus increased productivity can be achieved. The drying of the paint, the printing ink and the melamine is carried out by a heat radiator, which preferably operates in a range of 200 ° C to 400 ° C.
