Description

  The present invention relates to a seam construction method for a floor covering material, and a connection member and a joint structure used therefor. More specifically, the workability is good, the connection strength is strong, and sufficient water stoppage can be secured over a long period of time. The present invention relates to a seam construction method for a floor covering material, a connection member used for the seam construction method, and a seam structure.

Conventionally, when connecting end portions of floor covering materials attached to floor bases such as common corridors, verandas, and balconies of apartment buildings, the following method is often used.
That is, at the end of the floor covering material and the seam of the end,
(1) Connection by thermal welding that heats, melts and fills a synthetic resin welding rod (for example, Patent Document 1).
(2) Connection by solvent welding in which a solvent for dissolving the synthetic resin of the floor covering material or a solvent in which the synthetic resin is previously dissolved is injected and applied.
(3) Connection with adhesive, adhesive, sealing material, etc.

  In these construction methods, in order to ensure the connection strength and waterproofness of the floor covering material, a V-shaped groove or a U-shaped groove (hereinafter collectively referred to as a V-shaped groove) using a V-shaped groove cutter at the joint of the floor covering materials adjacent to each other. In many cases, the V-shaped groove is filled with a welding rod, a solvent, an adhesive, or the like.

  Also, in order to enhance the waterproofness of the seam, an undersheet comprising a synthetic resin layer on the upper surface of a glass fiber woven fabric or non-woven fabric on the joint surface of the adjacent polymer sheet (floor covering material). There is also known a waterproofing method for sticking (Patent Document 2).

However, in the above construction methods (1) to (3), it is not easy to form V-shaped grooves along the seams of the floor covering materials adjacent to each other. In the case of having a cushioning property or the like, or when another undersheet having a cushioning property or the like is laminated below the floor covering material, the V-groove cutter was pressed into the joint of the floor covering material. Since the pressing force at that time is dispersed and absorbed by the cushioning property or the like, there is a problem that the V-shaped groove cannot be easily formed.
In the method (1) for heat welding, it is necessary to fill the melted welding rod into the V-shaped groove by pressing the resin welding rod against the V-shaped groove while heating. For the same reason, there was a problem that the filling could not be performed sufficiently and the connection strength was insufficient.
Furthermore, when another undersheet is provided below the seam of the floor covering material, the undersheet is damaged when forming the V-shaped groove, or the undersheet melts or burns when hot-air welding is performed, and the foam is removed. There was also a risk of foaming.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and the problem to be solved is that it is not necessary to form a special V-shaped groove, both workability and water stoppage are good, and particularly floor covering having cushioning properties and the like. It is an object of the present invention to provide a seam construction method suitable for seam construction of a material, a connecting member used for the seam construction, and a joint structure.

  In order to achieve the above object, the floor covering material joint method according to the present invention uses a connecting member having a bottom portion and a rising portion, and connects the end portions of adjacent synthetic resin floor covering materials to each other. The connection member is provided on the floor base, and the end of the floor covering is placed on the bottom of the connection member so that the rising part is sandwiched from the left and right, and connected to the end of the floor covering The rising portions of the members are welded, welded, or bonded to connect the end portions of the floor covering material.

  Further, the connecting member of the present invention is a long connecting member made of synthetic resin used for connecting ends of adjacent floor coverings, and a bottom on which the end of the floor covering is placed, The cross-sectional shape provided with the rising part standing upright from the substantially middle of the bottom part is a reverse T-shape.

  Furthermore, the joint structure of the floor covering material of the present invention is a joint structure in which ends of adjacent synthetic resin floor covering materials are connected to each other using a connecting member having a bottom portion and a rising portion. The end of the floor covering is placed on the bottom, and the rising part of the connecting member located between the ends of the floor covering is joined and integrated with the end of the floor covering on both sides by welding or welding. It is characterized by being.

  And the seam structure of another floor covering material of the present invention is a joint structure in which the ends of adjacent floor covering materials made of synthetic resin are connected to each other using a connecting member having a bottom portion and a rising portion, The end of the floor covering material is placed on the bottom of the connecting member, and the rising portion of the connecting member located between the end portions of the floor covering material is adhered to the end of the floor covering material on both sides with an adhesive. It is characterized by being.

  The seam construction method of the floor covering material of the present invention is such that the end of the floor covering material is placed on the bottom of the connecting member provided on the floor base, and the rising portion of the connecting member and the end of the floor covering material are welded and welded together. Alternatively, since the ends of the floor covering material are connected to each other by bonding, it is not necessary to form a V-shaped groove at the end portion of the adjacent floor covering material. Therefore, the construction time and labor for forming the V-shaped groove are reduced, and the problems at the time of forming the V-shaped groove are also eliminated, so that the finish of the seam is clean and the connection strength and water stoppage are both good. It is suitable for connection between floor covering materials having cushioning properties and the like in which it is difficult to form a groove.

  In addition, the connecting member of the present invention used for the seam construction method is provided with a rising portion that rises from the bottom, and when connecting the floor covering materials, when the seam construction method is performed, the end of the floor covering material is provided. There is no need to form a V-shaped groove, and not only the construction time and labor are greatly reduced, but the finish of the seam is also beautiful, and a seam structure with good connection strength and water stoppage can be constructed. Thus, since this connection member does not need to form a V-shaped groove, it is particularly suitable for connection between floor covering materials having cushioning properties and the like. Moreover, since the shape is not complicated, it can be easily and inexpensively manufactured by extrusion molding, and the increase in cost can be minimized.

  Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  The seam construction method of the floor covering material of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 uses the connecting member 3 having the bottom portion 3a and the rising portion 3b shown in FIG. This is a construction method for connecting the portions 2a and 2a, and the steps will be described in order.

That is, first, as shown in FIG. 1A, a floor adhesive 6 is applied to a concrete floor foundation 1 such as a common corridor, a veranda, and a balcony of an apartment house. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the floor adhesive 6 is applied to the floor base 1 so that a large number of ridges are formed at intervals with a comb iron (not shown). If the floor adhesive 6 is applied in this way, even if water intrudes from the joint 4 of the floor coverings 2 and 2, the floor adhesive 6 that is a ridge acts as a weir, and the floor foundation 1 It is possible to prevent the water from spreading all over.
The floor foundation 1 is not limited to the concrete floor foundation as described above, and may be any general floor foundation employed in a building such as a mortar, wooden or metal floor foundation. The present invention can be implemented. The floor adhesive 6 to be applied to the floor base 1 is a curable floor adhesive such as urethane, epoxy, acrylic or modified silicone, or a rubber floor adhesive. Among them, a urethane type or an epoxy type excellent in water resistance (a two-component mixed type or a one-component type such as a moisture curing type) may be particularly preferable.

  As described above, when the floor adhesive 6 is applied to the floor foundation 1, next, as shown in FIG. The connecting member 3 is attached. As shown in FIG. 2, the connecting member 3 includes a bottom portion 3a on which the back surface of the end portion 2a of the floor covering material 2 is placed, and a rising portion 3b erected upward from substantially the middle of the bottom portion 3a. It is a long strip-shaped body made of a synthetic resin having an inverted T-shaped cross section, and the rising edge 3b is the end of the floor coverings 2 and 2 at the end 4a of the floor coverings 2 and 2 and the joint 4 of the end 2a. It is provided on the floor base 1 so as to be sandwiched between the portions 2a and 2a from the left and right (close to each other but not in contact).

  The gap distance of the seam 4, that is, the separation distance between the end 2 a and the end 2 a of the adjacent floor coverings 2, 2 is the thickness t 2 of the rising portion 3 b sandwiched between, the connection strength, the water stoppage, the finish aesthetics, etc. Is preferably about 3 to 10 mm, and the gap distance between the rising portion 3b of the connecting member 3 and the end (end surface) 2a of the floor covering 2 is such that the end 2a of the floor covering 2 and the rising 3b It is preferable that the thickness is 0.1 to 0.5 mm in consideration of bonding and integration of 0.1 to 0.5 mm (when integrated by heat welding or adhesive, 0.1 to 0.5 mm is preferable, and when integrating by solvent welding) 0.1 to 0.3 mm is preferable).

  The floor covering material 2 attached to the floor base 1 is made of thermoplastic resin such as exterior soft, semi-rigid, rigid vinyl chloride resin, olefin resin laid on a balcony, veranda or corridor. The floor covering to be produced is preferably used. The floor covering material 2 may be a long sheet shape, a tile shape, or any material that forms the joint 4 between the floor covering materials 2 and 2 and has a cushioning property or the like. A covering material is also preferably used. The floor covering material having cushioning properties and the like is typically one in which the lower layer is formed of a foam or non-woven fabric, and the lower layer similar to the above is formed of a foam or non-woven fabric under the normal floor covering material 2. Further, cushioning properties and the like may be imparted by stacking different sheets.

The connecting member 3 provided at the joint 4 of the floor coverings 2 and 2 has a width W (width W of the low portion 3a) of about 10 to 50 mm and a thickness t1 of the bottom portion 3a of 0.1 to 0.5 mm. Preferably, the height H of the rising portion 3b is about 2 to 6 mm, the thickness t2 of the rising portion 3b is about 3 to 10 mm, and the length is substantially equal to the total length of the joint 4 of the floor coverings 2 and 2 Is done. Thus, by forming the thickness t1 of the bottom 3a of the connecting member 3 to be extremely thin, the rising of the end 2a of the floor covering 2 placed on the bottom 3a is minimized, and the floor covering 2, Even if the two are connected, there is no fear that the joint 4 of the floor coverings 2 and 2 will rise and damage the beauty of the surroundings, or will crawl when walking. Further, the height H of the rising portion 3b can be used for connection of various floor covering materials 2, and the thickness (1) of a general floor covering material 2 is also taken into consideration such as hot air welding and solvent welding described later. About 5 mm).
Note that a connection member in which the cross-sectional shape of the L-shaped belt-like body is combined in a symmetrical manner back to back to form a T-shape may be used in place of the connection member 3 described above. The connecting member combined with the body has the advantage of being excellent in hot air weldability and solvent solubility.

  In the present embodiment, the connecting member 3 is extruded by a thermoplastic resin of the same system in order to reduce the cost, but at least the rising portion 3b only needs to be formed of a thermoplastic resin. The bottom 3a may be formed of a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, a thin plate of metal or thermosetting resin, or the like. Moreover, even when the bottom 3a and the rising portion 3b are formed of the same type of thermoplastic resin, the material of the rising portion 3b is higher in melting and solubility than the bottom 3a in consideration of heat welding and solvent welding. May be formed. Furthermore, when the thickness t2 of the rising portion 3b of the connecting member 3 is formed so that the upper end is thin and the bottom portion 3a is thick, melting and solvent welding are facilitated, and the workability can be improved.

  When the floor covering materials 2 and 2 and the connecting member 3 as described above are attached onto the floor base 1, the end 2a of the floor covering material 2 and the rising of the connecting member 3 are shown in FIG. The gap between the portions 3b is filled with a molten synthetic resin welding rod 5, and the end portion 2a and the rising portion 3a of the floor covering material 2 are joined and integrated by thermal welding. And, as shown in FIG. 5, when the end portion other than the joint 4 of the floor covering material 2 is sealed with the sealing material 7, and when the excess resin or the rising portion 3 b is melted in the joint 4 portion, It removes with a blade and the connection of floor covering materials 2 and 2 is completed.

  The heat welding here refers to resin welding in which the molten synthetic resin welding rod 5 is filled and the end portion 2a of the floor covering material 2 and the rising portion 3b of the connecting member 3 are integrated, as shown in FIG. As described below, the end portion 2a of the floor covering material 2 and the rising portion 3b of the connecting member 3 are melted by a heat gun, and the end portion 2a of the floor covering material 2 and the rising portion 3b of the connecting member 3 are It is a concept including hot air welding to be integrated.

  The heat welding shown in FIG. 4 is performed by using a connecting member 3 in which the height H of the rising portion 3b is higher than the thickness of the floor covering material 2 in advance with a heat gun or the like as shown by the arrow in FIG. By applying hot air, the rising portion 3b of the connecting member 3 and the end 2a of the floor covering material 2 are melted, and the melted melt fills the gap so that the end 2a of the floor covering 2 and the connecting member 3 The rising portion 3b is integrated. When such heat welding is performed, as shown in FIG. 4B, the upper end portion of the rising portion 3b of the connection member 3 closest to the hot air and the surface of the end portion 2a of the floor covering material 2 are melted best. At the same time, the lower end portion (including the surface of the bottom portion 3a) of the rising portion 3b of the connecting member 3 serving as a hot air blowing pool and the back surface of the end portion 2a of the floor covering material 2 melt well, The connecting member 3 is integrated by melting the cross-sectional shape into a substantially horizontal H shape. In this heat welding, not only the rising portion 3b and the end portion 2a of the floor covering material 2, but also the surface of the bottom portion 3a of the connecting member 3 and the end portion 2a of the floor covering material 2 are fused and integrated, so that the connection strength is extremely high. Very expensive.

And in the present invention, in order to give cushioning properties and the like, even when the above-mentioned heat welding (hot air welding) is performed when another sheet having cushioning properties is laminated below the floor covering material 2 (not shown), Since the connecting member 3 blocks the hot air from hitting the sheet, there is no fear that another sheet will melt, burn, or foam bubbles will degas.
In addition, when laminating another sheet having cushioning properties or the like below the floor covering material 2 as described above, it is necessary to place the connecting member 3 on the other sheet in order to block hot air as described above. Needless to say, in this case, in order to improve the water-stopping property, an adhesive is applied on another sheet, and the other sheet, the floor covering material 2 and the connecting member 3 are adhered.

  In addition to heat welding as described above, the end 2a of the floor covering 2 and the rising portion 3b of the connecting member 3 may be integrated by solvent welding or an adhesive. Solvent welding here refers to injecting a solvent that dissolves synthetic resin into the gap between the end portion 2a of the floor covering material 2 and the rising portion 3b of the connecting member 3, and the end portion 2a of the floor covering material 2 and the connecting member. 3 is a method of melting and integrating the three rising portions 3b. In this construction method, when the floor covering material 2 and / or the same kind of thermoplastic synthetic resin as the connection member 3 is used in advance (seam solution), the gap is easily filled and the connection strength is improved. In addition, the adhesive bonding means that an adhesive is applied to the gap between the end portion 2a of the floor covering material 2 and the rising portion 3b of the connection member 3, and the end portion 2a of the floor covering material 2 and the rising portion of the connection member 3 are applied. This is a method of bonding 3b. As the adhesive used in this case, an epoxy-based, silicone-based, urethane-based reactive adhesive or solvent-based adhesive is preferably used, and a silicone-based sealing material or an acrylic adhesive is used. You can also.

  Even if the end portions 2a and 2a of the floor coverings 2 and 2 are connected by the solvent welding or adhesive, the connection strength is sufficiently secured, so there is almost no fear of water intruding from the joint 4. In order to ensure a more reliable connection strength and water-stopping property, as shown in FIG. 3, the back surface of the floor covering material 2 and the surface of the bottom 3a of the connection member 3 are bonded with an adhesive 8 (solvent or seam liquid is also acceptable). May be. Thus, by integrating the back surface of the floor covering material 2 and the surface of the bottom portion 3a of the connecting member 3, the connection strength is further improved and the joint 4 is improved in the same manner as the thermal welding shown in FIG. Intrusion of water can be reliably prevented.

  As apparent from the above description, the floor covering material joint method according to the present invention does not require the formation of V-shaped grooves at both ends 2a, 2a of the floor covering material 2 along the seam 4. It is easy and requires a short construction period, and the finish of the seam 4 is clean, and a seam structure having sufficient connection strength and water-stopping property can be constructed. Therefore, the seam structure of the floor covering material of the present invention constructed in the above process is an optimal seam structure for common halls, verandas, balconies and the like of apartment buildings.
