Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Industrial Field of the Invention The present invention provides a method for forming a floor covering having any groove pattern on the floor surface.

(Prior Art and Problems) Conventionally, floor tiles having an embossed pattern formed on the surface by an embossing roll are known. However, while conventional embossing styles can be mass-produced, distortion (embossing habit) during embossing is possible.

The line of the embossed pattern shifts through the joint.

You cannot get a perfect circle embossed pattern.

Embossing rolls are expensive and require a long period of time to impart a new pattern to the tile.

There were drawbacks such as.

(Structure of the Invention) According to the present invention, based on the information sent from the control panel, the surface of the floor tile is deleted by using a router machine which is set in advance so as to cut a predetermined pattern to form a groove pattern having a joint. A desired floor pattern, characterized in that a floor tile having the groove pattern is created, the groove pattern and the floor tile surface color are colored differently, and the obtained floor tile with the groove pattern is arranged so as to pass through joints. A method of forming a floor covering having:

According to the present invention, a floor message having a fine pattern is also possible, and the designability in the interior and especially the designability on the floor surface are significantly improved.

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a floor tile used in the present invention, where 1 is a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) floor tile and 2 is a groove pattern. The groove pattern 2 shows 1/4 of a perfect circle, and a perfect circle-like pattern is obtained on a floor tile aggregate with one set of four floor tiles of the present invention.

The groove pattern is formed over a plurality of floor tiles to complete the design. The pattern 2 is obtained by cutting the floor tile 1 to form a groove, and applying or filling a colorant having a color different from that of the surface of the floor tile 1 into the groove.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view of another embodiment of the floor tile of the present invention. The floor tile 5 made of a laminate of the PVC front surface layer 3 and the PVC rear surface layer 4 has different surface layers and different back surface layers. Groove pattern 6 is obtained by completely removing the surface layer.

The groove pattern 6 is the color of the back surface layer 4.

FIG. 3 is a plan view of the floor surface covering material of the present invention.
… Is the floor tile aggregate surface, 8 and 9 are groove patterns,
The groove patterns 8 and 9 are different from the surface 7 of the floor tile aggregate.

Patterns 8 and 9 are cut into arbitrary patterns exceeding the size of one tile, and a clear groove pattern is obtained over a plurality of floor tile aggregates with joints, and the pattern lines do not collapse. There is also no embossing habit.

FIGS. 4a to 8a are plan views of floor tiles used as the other structural units of the groove pattern in the present invention, and FIGS. 4b to 8b are the floors of the corresponding floors of FIGS. 4a to 8a. FIG. 3 is a surface view of a floor surface covering material having a groove pattern with joints formed by removing the surface over an aggregate of tiles. 7 is the floor tile surface.

Fig. 4a is a floor tile, and 10 and 10 'are jointed 4a.
The aggregate of floor tiles in the figure is 11 in Figure 4b.

Similarly, Figures 5a, 6a, 7a, and 8a are floor tiles, and 13 in Figure 5b is 1 in Figures 5a and 6b, respectively.
Reference numeral 5 denotes a floor surface covering material having a groove pattern with a joint corresponding to FIG. 6a, 17 in FIG. 7a and FIG. 8a, and 19 in FIG. 8b. 12 ', 14, 14', 16, 1
8.18 'is a groove pattern.

In the present invention, various floor covering materials can be obtained by a method in which the direction of the floor tile is changed and construction is performed.

FIG. 9 is a side view of an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 20 denotes a router machine (engraving machine), and as this machine, ZXU-14BY manufactured by Shinko Kogyo Co., Ltd. can be used. 21 is a table, 22 is a floor tile, 23 is a spindle head, 24 is a cylinder, 25 is a spindle, 26 is an X-axis slider, 27 is a lifting base, 28 is a cutting tool, 29 is a control panel,
The cutting conditions and the like are shown on the CRT on the control panel 29. Based on this information, the driving force from a motor (not shown) causes the spindle 25 to rotate and the cylinder 2 having the spindle therein.
4 moves along the X-axis slider 26, and the table 21 moves along the Y-axis to obtain a grooved pattern. At this time, the cylinder 24 moves up and down along the lift base 27 as necessary. In this way, the floor tile 22 having a thickness of 2 to 5 mm has a groove pattern (dotted line A) in which the cutting tool 29 at the tip of the spindle head 23 reaches to a position of about half of the total thickness. The engraved grooves are colored or filled with a colorant different from the floor tile 22.

Under the set conditions, the same pattern can be obtained many times, and the pattern can be easily changed.

(Effects of the Invention) The following effects are obtained by the present invention.

Various designs are possible, and the design of the interior is improved, especially on the floor.

The floor had the desired thickness and pattern.

No matter what pattern was expressed, I was able to make the lines of the pattern clear and pass through the joints.

The tile did not have the embossing habit.

A perfect circular groove pattern was obtained.

A groove pattern was reliably and easily formed by an NC cutting machine, and several identical design tiles could be created.

We were able to produce a large number of different designs in small quantities and were able to quickly respond to consumption trends.

The embossing roll was unnecessary, the cost was low, and it took no time to obtain a desired floor pattern.

The present invention is not limited to the above description as long as it is carried out based on the gist thereof.

Example A PVC floor tile having a side of 30 cm and having a thickness of 4 mm is placed on the table of a 4-axis NC router machine, and while sucking from below, one of two perfect circles on a diagonal line as shown in FIG. A circle of / 4 size was set to be grooved at a depth of about 2 mm and the router machine was activated. A 1/4 pattern of a perfect circle having a radius of 10 cm was automatically engraved on the diagonal line, and this was colored with a colorant different from that of the tile using another axis of a router machine.

The obtained floor tile aggregate was a covering material having excellent jointability and having a groove pattern and a perfect design.
