Definitions

  • the invention relates to a panel with a panel core, a panel top side with a wear layer, a panel bottom side and pairs of edges provided on opposite panel edges, wherein at least a first pair of edges is provided with complementary locking means, of which a locking means on a groove side of the edge pair acts as a locking groove and the complementary locking means on one tongue side of the pair of edges is designed as a locking spring, which fits together with the locking groove in a form-fitting manner so that panels of the same type can be locked to one another, the locking spring of a first panel being attachable to the locking groove of a second panel of the same type when this panel is inclined and then by a rotating Joining movement of the panels relative to each other, both panels can be locked together in a form-fitting manner, so that the achievable form-fitting is a moving apart of the locked panels elkanten counteracts in a direction that is in the plane of the locked panels and at the same time perpendicular to the locked panel edges, wherein the locking spring has a contact surface on
  • a generic panel is from EP 3 087 230 B1 known. Its overall thickness is relatively small. It can be 2 mm or less than a total thickness of 4 mm.
  • the panel edges of the known panel are designed in such a way that a corresponding profiling of the panel edges can be produced at all.
  • the known panel is also provided with a panel core made of a carrier material which has a matrix material comprising plastic. A proportion of solid material is provided therein. According to one embodiment, the solid material is a mineral filler, for example talc.
  • the invention is based in particular on the fact that the panel core has a carrier material comprising a matrix and at least one filler provided therein in the form of particles, with the carrier material being able to have a certain degree of brittleness.
  • the filler is preferably a mineral filler, such as a phyllosilicate.
  • the design of the known panel has weaknesses in terms of the stability of the panel edges.
  • the free end of the locking spring has particular weaknesses; it can suffer damage from external mechanical influences, in particular before it is laid.
  • the carrier material has a structure with a certain degree of brittleness, weaknesses occur in the known panel.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a panel that benefits from a shape of the panel core that improves stability.
  • a floorboard comprising a substrate made of thermoplastic material, a decoration provided thereon and at least one pair of opposite edges, coupling parts which are at least partially realized from the substrate, the coupling parts enabling mechanical locking between two such floorboards, characterized in that the The substrate comprises a rigid substrate layer of thermoplastic material and a glass fiber layer is present in the floor panel.
  • the WO 2012/142986 A1 proposes a floor element which has a carrier board with a top-side, multi-layer wear coating.
  • the functional coating comprises a damping layer, a decorative layer and a wearing layer, with the wearing layer consisting of a thermoplastic based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and/or polypropylene (PP).
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • PP polypropylene
  • the damping layer preferably consists of a highly compressed granular material, in particular cork.
  • a polyurethane-based lacquer seal is provided on the upper side of the wear layer.
  • the object is achieved in that the front of the locking spring is rounded tangentially to the contact surface, the rounding forms a free end of the locking spring that is round in cross section, a round transition to the underside of the spring is created, the rounding of the locking spring has a radius , equal to or greater than the distal extent of the contact surface, and that the rounding of the locking spring merges into an outwardly curved contour that extends along the underside of the spring.
  • the convex contour can be a radius.
  • the size of the radius of the rounding is preferably in a range of 10%-20% of the total thickness of the panel, particularly preferably in the range of 10%-15% of this total thickness.
  • the cross section of the free end of the locking spring is formed as a relatively large radius. This measure has improved the stability of the panel edge equipped with the locking spring. Even if the panel core has a carrier material that tends to be brittle, the proposed panel turns out to be more stable than the prior art. In particular, it has been shown that with a panel core made of a carrier material with a certain brittleness, better cohesion of the entire structure is achieved. Without being bound to this theory, it appears to the inventor that a special feature arises when plate-shaped mineral particles, for example made of talc, are used. During production, the plate-shaped mineral particles are initially randomly embedded in a matrix. During production they are in a granulate.
  • the invention is preferably intended for panels which have an overall thickness in the range from 2 to 6 mm, more preferably the overall thickness is between 2.5 to 5 mm and particularly preferably between 2.8 and 4 mm.
  • the locking groove expediently has a groove base which is round in cross-section and connects to the contact surface of the upper groove wall, the groove base having a radius which is the same size or greater than the distal extent of the contact surface. More preferably, this groove base is adapted to the front curve of the locking spring in such a way that in the locked state there is a small gap between the groove base and the curve of the locking spring. This ensures that when two panels are locked, there is a closed joint above the locking tongue.
  • a further improvement of the panel can be achieved if the contact surface is inclined downwards in the distal direction, the angle of inclination of the contact surface relative to the horizontal being in a range of 3° - 15°, preferably 5° - 10° and particularly preferably 7° - 9°.
  • the panel level is usually aligned horizontally when two panels are in the locked state.
  • the term "horizontal" means an orientation parallel to the plane of the panel or the upper side of the panel. Due to the inclination of the contact surface, better cohesion can be achieved, particularly in the case of a panel core made of a carrier material that is brittle, which comes to the surface in the region of the contact surface.
  • a tangential transition from the rounding of the free end of the locking spring to the convex contour of the underside of the spring is preferably provided. Abandoning an edged transition also increases the stability of the panel edge or the panel at this point.
  • the locking groove may have a short upper groove wall with a free end and a long lower groove wall with a distal ridge on it.
  • the edge strip has a holding surface and the normal to the surface of the holding surface points in the proximal direction. Arranged in this way, the holding surface can achieve a good holding force to counteract the panel edges moving apart perpendicularly from one another in the plane of the panel (horizontally).
  • the locking spring expediently has a counter-retaining surface, which is provided with a proximally oriented surface normal, and that the counter-retaining surface interacts with the retaining surface of the edge strip of the lower groove wall when two panels are in the locked state.
  • the concave The contour of the lower groove wall increases in the direction of the edge strip and, together with the matching convex contour of the underside of the tongue, forms an overlap that counteracts the panel edges moving apart in the horizontal direction mentioned above, but the horizontal locking effect that can be achieved by means of a pronounced holding surface and matching counter-holding surface significantly improved.
  • the retaining surface of the edge strip and the counter-retaining surface of the locking spring are arranged parallel to one another in the locked state and at the same time in an angle range of -10° to +10°, preferably -5° to +, relative to the perpendicular to the top of the panel 5° are arranged. If the holding surface/counter-holding surface is in the negative part of the angle range, then there is an additional undercut between these two surfaces. Due to the additional undercut, locking is also effected in a direction perpendicular to the panel plane (vertical). A certain elastic deformation in the area of the locking means is necessary during the joining process to produce the locking in order to produce the additional undercut and to bring the holding surface into engagement with the counter-holding surface.
  • the locking means can be connected to one another without elastic deformation and the locked state can be established more easily. Then interlocked panel edges have an interlocking effect only in the horizontal direction. The lower the angle of inclination from the perpendicular to the panel surface, the better this locking effect deviates.
  • an abutment surface is usefully provided, the panel edge with the locking tongue above it having a counter abutment surface which, when two panel edges are locked together, cooperates with the abutment surface of the upper groove wall.
  • the pairing of abutment surface/counter abutment surface limits the joining movement during the locking process, i.e. the locking spring cannot then be moved deeper into the locking groove.
  • a closed joint forms between the panel edges involved on the top side of the panel.
  • Both the abutment surface mentioned and the counter-abutment surface are expediently arranged perpendicularly to the panel plane. If a certain contact pressure occurs, which presses the abutment surface and the mating surface against one another, then these surfaces can absorb the contact pressure. There is then no risk of the two surfaces slipping relative to each other and possibly causing a height offset on the top of the panel. In the case of an arrangement of the pairing of abutment surface/counter abutment surface which is inclined relative to the perpendicular to the plane of the panel, there would be a risk of a relative displacement of these surfaces, which could have a disadvantageous effect as a height offset on the upper side of the panel.
  • the lower groove wall has a depression at the transition to the edge strip, the depression merging into the holding surface of the edge strip.
  • This measure is favorably accompanied by the fact that the holding surface can be better used at its lower end. For example, it can also reach a little deeper down, right into the depression. At least creates the deepening a cut-out area that helps the underside of the spring to settle unhindered and the counter-retaining surface of the locking spring can position exactly against the retaining surface of the edge strip of the lower groove wall.
  • the edge strip can alternatively be designed somewhat higher in order to enlarge the holding surface upwards and give it the desired stability.
  • the top side of the panel has a broken edge on that panel edge with the locking groove and/or has a broken edge on the panel edge with the locking tongue.
  • a panel edge can also be improved in the area of the top side of the panel, because a broken edge, which can be designed as a phase or radius, for example, acts as edge protection.
  • the locking spring On its upper side, the locking spring has a distal extension from the counter-abutment surface to the free end of the locking spring.
  • the panels touch in a plane that can be marked with a center line.
  • the common free space can be a V-shaped free space (V-joint), for example. It is preferred if the width of the common free space is greater than the distal extension of the upper side of the locking spring.
  • the cross-section of the common clearance in a suitable ratio with that part of the cross-section of the locking spring which protrudes above the plane of the center line mentioned.
  • the front part of the locking spring should have a cross section that is approximately the same size as the free cross section of the free space.
  • the front part of the locking spring can have a cross-section which is a certain amount smaller or a certain amount larger than the free cross-section of the free space.
  • the cross section of the front part of the locking spring should then be in the range of 80 - 120% of the size of the cross section of the free space.
  • the width of the edge bevel and/or its depth may range from 5% to 20% of the total thickness of the panel.
  • the degree of edge beating is related to the size of the radius of curvature of the locking spring; There is some overlap in relation to the overall thickness of the panel because the radius should be in the range of 10% - 20% of the overall thickness.
  • FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a panel according to the invention.
  • the panel is shown split to show its opposite panel edges 1 and 1' and their complementary locking means 2 and 3 in the locked condition.
  • the panel edges shown in sections can also be interpreted as a representation of two panels which are not severed.
  • the design according to the invention is preferably intended to enable the panels to be designed with a small overall thickness.
  • the low overall thickness should be possible even if the panel core is made of a carrier material that is brittle.
  • the panel according to 1 consequently has a panel core 4 made of a carrier material which has a plastic as the matrix material.
  • a proportion of solid material is provided therein as a filler, namely a mineral filler in the form of talc.
  • This carrier material has a certain brittleness due to the filler.
  • Basically it is about 1 to a panel with a panel top 5 with a wear layer 6, a panel bottom 7 and with pairs of opposite panel edges 1 and 1 ', which form a pair of edges.
  • the pair of edges shown has complementary locking means 2 or 3 with a tongue and groove profile, namely a locking groove 8 on a groove side of the pair of edges and a locking spring 9 on a tongue side of the pair of edges two panels perpendicular to the interlocked panel edges and away from each other.

  • the locking spring 7 has a spring top 16 with a contact surface 17 which is directed toward the panel top 5 .
  • the contact surface 17 is arranged parallel to the top side 5 of the panel.
  • a rounding 18 follows the contact surface 17 .
