Definitions
- the invention concerns a covering panel; in particular a wall-covering panel with an extruded support plate made from synthetic plastic material and which panel is impermeable.
- wall-covering pertains to, amongst others, coverings for walls, on floors, ceilings, furniture surfaces and in particular to a floating covering for waterproof floors.
- a waterproof floor covering of this type is known from EP 1808546 of the applicant.
- EP 1808546 A waterproof floor covering of this type.
- closed air channels have previously been created. Nonetheless, the weight of these panels remains too high.
- the recycled synthetic plastic material can be in the form of ground materials, micronized powder-shaped particles or pre-extruded synthetic strands, e.g. made of such ground materials and powder-shaped particles and of mixed granules cut from them.
- an even surface in this context is meant a surface on which potential irregularities protrude less than 100 microns, preferably less than 50 microns, above or under the (theoretically) intended surface level.
- the realization of a support plate with such an evenly extruded top surface is necessary for guaranteeing a sufficient even top surface for the subsequent attachment of a waterproof and wear-resistant coating, and therefore also for the covering panel.
- the satisfactory imperviousness and other characteristics of the extruded support plate, according to EP 1808546 may not decrease - on the contrary.
- the opposite sides of the relatively thick panels are fitted with complementary profile edges in the shape of a tongue on the one hand, and in the shape of a groove on the other hand.
- the groove is bordered by an upper-lip and a lower-lip.
- the coupling or connection of adjacent panels takes place through an insertion process of the tongue on the edge of a panel into the complementary groove on the edge of an adjacent panel in a direction that is approximately parallel to the top surface of the panel.
- the thinner the panel the smaller also the thickness is of the tongue and of these lips that border the groove.
- the panel thickness cannot be reduced to below a limit whereby the connection or coupling strength of said tongue between the groove edges would become insufficient. Nonetheless, the need for extremely thin panels or tiles remains, while the strength of the tongue-in-groove connection, according to EP 1808546, possibly no longer suffices and for which another connection configuration would have to be applied.
- the invention has as an aim to provide an improved impermeable panel of the type known from EP 1808546 with an extruded support plate made of synthetic plastic material with a small to extremely small thickness, yet whereby the support plate and the border connections are still sufficiently strong.
- the connections have to clamp or anchor sufficiently, at least in a cross direction (perpendicular) to the top surface for the purpose of being able to realize a durable and very flat transition between the consecutive panels in the wall covering.
- thinner panels the need to subsequently disconnect them from the assembled or installed wall-covering to replace them or to disassemble and reuse the covering elsewhere, remains.
- the invention also aims to use as much recycled synthetic plastics as possible - even as much as 100% of its weight - yet still preferably obtaining support plates with a very even top surface.
- the panels should preferably also have a strong sound insulating capacity.
- a covering panel with a support plate extruded as a single piece and made from considerably hard, preferably at least partially recycled, synthetic plastics material, with an even top surface and with pairs of opposite sides. These sides are preferably provided with complementary profile edges in the shape of a male profile edge on the one side and a female profile edge on the opposite side of said pair.
- said male profile edge of this panel is coupled in an anchoring or clamping manner, preferably with a releasable clamping mode to a female edge of the same type, or at least of an equivalent and compatible type, to an adjacent covering panel according to a transverse or crosswise direction D to said top surface.
- the support plate For the purposes of being able to realize an optimal level of strength and pressure resistance for the support plate for a weight per m 2 of top surface that is as low as possible, it is preferable, according to an important characteristic of the invention, to create a number of open spaces on the bottom face of the plate in the form of strip-shaped recesses that follow the direction of extrusion.
- these recesses are alternated by parallel support strips of which at least a part has width S in that bottom face that complies with 1,5T ⁇ S ⁇ 10 T while 0,4T ⁇ C ⁇ 0,7T applies to the average depth C of the open spaces.
- said part of support strips with width S is substantially evenly or symmetrically spread over the width B of the support plate.
- the support plates have a maximum thickness T of nine and preferably of seven mm, e.g. with T about 6 mm or even with T ⁇ 5 mm.
- the weight of the support plate is less than 9000g/m 2 , preferably lower than 6000 g/ m 2 of the top surface.
- single-piece is meant here that the whole support plate is formed in one extrusion step, even if that implies a co-extrusion of adjacent vertical, resp. horizontal sections of synthetic material placed side by side with mutually different compositions, e.g. a hard vertical core section and at least one softer edge section or vice versa.
- a virgin resin top layer e.g. differently coloured, can be horizontally co-extruded with a recycled resin bottom layer.
- the strip-shaped recesses will preferably have an approximate trapezium-shaped cross section with the large base of the trapezium in the surface of the bottom face of the panel.
- the applied synthetic plastic e.g. PVC
- PVC polyvinyl styrene
- the applied synthetic plastic will preferably be a predominantly hard synthetic material that at least for a part comprises recycled synthetic material, e.g. for at least 50% of its weight, preferably more than 80% or even over 90% up to 100% of its weight.
- Said anchoring or clamping connection or coupling to a female edge of an equal adjacent panel according to a direction D that is transversally oriented to the top surface of the panel can take place through a clamping connection process to the complementary profile edges.
- This connection process comprises e.g. a connection of at least one rib, for example fitted on the male profile edge, to be clicked in transversely into a complementary recess in an adjacent female profile edge.
- This recess preferably has at least an essentially dovetail cross-section close to its entrance opening. This promotes in particular the sufficiently solid, yet simultaneously also the releasable clicking of a complementary rib into its groove.
- the dovetail shape can contribute to an easier bending of the lip that is provided with this groove. This shape can also allow the presence of potentially desired extra dust chambers in the groove as described further on.
- At least one of said ribs can thereby make contact with the bottom of an upper-lip of this male edge, while said recess stretches across the length of the top surface of the lower lip of said female profile edge.
- at least of one said ribs can connect against the top face of a lower-lip of this male edge, while said recess stretches across the length of the bottom face of the lower-lip of said female profile edge.
- a suitable groove can be present in the top surface of said rib.
- a more or less elastic compressible strip can be attached to said top surface of the rib. This can be done by extruding this strip at the same time as extruding the plate itself during the course of co- extrusion.
- the support plate of the covering panel will be coated with a common waterproof coating or foil, e.g. a HPL foil, a CPL foil, RENOLIT foil or other.
- the waterproof coating or foil can be combined with a wear-resistant decorative or non decorative covering.
- the upper edges of at least two opposite sides of the panels can be provided with chamfered borders or bevelled edges.
- the panels also often have a rectangular top surface.
- the male, respectively female, profile edges according to the invention e.g. with a coupling of the type rib-in-recess, can then only be provided on the short sides of the panel. However, they can likewise be provided onto both the short and the long sides of the panel.
- the invention also concerns the single-piece of extruded support plate made of synthetic plastic material, e.g. predominantly made of recycled PVC, for application in a covering panel; as well as all kinds of wall coverings, including a number of covering panels connected with the aid of the features of the invention, in particular a floating covering for a waterproof floor.
- the invention pertains to a unique process that allows the extrusion of a plate or support plate whereby the more or less premixed and plasticized synthetic material, with the desired additives - potentially locally in the plate -, amongst which possible filler or reinforcing particles and/or foaming agents.
- This plasticized synthetic material is first pressed through a suitably heated extrusion nozzle, or co-extrusion nozzle, with a suitable slot-shaped extrusion opening.
- the process generally concerns manufacturing a synthetic plastic plate, by means of extrusion through a suitable slot opening, which has an even top surface and a bottom face that has a relief with protruding strips with sloped upright side-walls that locally alternate with intermediate strip-shaped recesses following the direction of extrusion.
- the plate undergoes a small volumetric expansion due to the drop out of the extrusion pressure.
- This freshly extruded plate is subsequently passed through a controllably cooled calibration section that is fitted with partial vacuum equipment, at least against said top surface, for producing there the local suction of that surface.
- the shape of the input slot of this calibration section is thereby substantially congruently chosen, but not identical with that of the extrusion slot opening.
- the passage space for the synthetic plate for calibration in this calibration section is designed in such a way that it gradually narrows downstream, e.g. conically from its input slot to its output slot.
- the height of the output slot between the top surface of the plate and its bottom face at the spot (in the area) of said protruding strips is roughly equal to the thickness T of the plate.
- the passage space at the spot of said intermediate strip-shaped recesses will narrow much less, or hardly at all, or not at all from its input slot to its output slot so that in that area the height (or distance) between the top surface and the bottom of the output slot is slightly bigger than T - C.
- the grooves serve as collection chambers, buffers or compensation chambers for this pressed-away synthetic material against their upper wall.
- the upper wall of the groove - i.e. in the area of the small base of the trapezium-shaped cross-section of the groove - becomes less flat and less even. This, however, is not inconvenient since the groove is on the inside of the wall covering.
- the depth C of the grooves is in reality an average depth as a result of any irregularities in their upper wall.
- the thickness T of the protruding strips should remain and indeed remain the same and constant over all plates to be linked to each other, due to these compensation chambers. Otherwise the surface of the wall covering might show an impermissible difference in level e.g. with adjacent panel edges.
- Figure 1 is a sketch of a covering panel according to the invention.
- Figure 2 shows a cross-section of another panel according to the invention with, amongst others, the application of an alternative series of strip-shaped grooves in the bottom face of a panel.
- Figure 3 illustrates a design of the clamping connections or couplings of consecutive profile edges with ribs in complementary grooves.
- Figure 5 is a cross section of a panel in the extrusion direction in the area of a strip-shaped recess in the bottom of the panel.
- Figure 6 is a perspective sketch of a male profile edge.
- Figure 7 is a perspective sketch of a complementary female profile edge.
- Figure 8 pertains to a cross section of a tongue/groove connection on the side edges of the panel.
- Figure 9 is a cross-section of an alternative recess in a female profile edge with an adjusted inserted rib of a male edge.
- Figures 10 and 11 represent a design of a connection with two ribs in two recesses.
- Figure 12 illustrates a modality of extrusion, intended for an additional finish by means of a milling process.
- Figure 13 shows a section of wall-covering with a number of connected panels.
- Figure 14 relates to a front view of the exit side of the extrusion nozzle and shows a cross section of the extruded support plate.
- Figure 15a, respectively 15b represent similarly the nozzle slot at the inlet end of the calibration section, resp. at the exit or outlet end of this section with a cross section view of the calibrated support plate as it leaves the calibration section.
- the covering panel 1 shows a preferred embodiment according to the invention for very thin panels with an extruded support plate 2, made from synthetic plastic material and generally with a commonly known waterproof, decorative and wear-resistant protective coating 21. These panels can have a total T thickness of 3 to 6 mm.
- the support plates 2 have a flat and usually a rectangular or square top surface 3.
- a male profile edge 6, respectively a complementary female profile edge 7 is produced, either simultaneously during the extrusion of the plate 2 or only afterwards by means of a milling process on plate edges that were not profiled during the extrusion. If so desired, profile edges 6, 7 preformed during extrusion can be finished more precisely by means of a suitable milling process afterwards.
- the male profile edge 36 are produced at the pair of the short or cross-cut panel sides 34, respectively 35 as further discussed with reference to the figures 4 to 6.
- support strips 20, 43, 46 are present in the bottom face 18 of the panel of which only a part, namely roughly three, have a relatively important width S: a couple of support strips 20 near the sides of the panel and a central support strip 46. Thus they are evenly and symmetrically spread over the width B of the panel. In between these broader support strips there are similar support strips 43 that each have an extra groove 44 that can be simultaneously extruded. This saves again plastic material for practically the same pressure resistance, perpendicular to the plate surface.
- a broad central support strip 46 is particularly beneficial because, at that spot at least, the design allows extra strong connection elements on the short or crosscut side of the plate for a connection of tooth-in-groove or rib-in-recess.
- the edge recesses 45 in the bottom face of the panel can be made slightly deeper than the other recesses 19 and 44, if so desired. This can benefit the flexibility of the profile edge zones 47, 48. If so desired, these edge zones 47, 48 can be simultaneously shaped through co- extrusion with a different composition than the intermediate central panel zone. As such, these edge zones can thus be harder or provided with reinforcing particles, for example. Even the central support strip 46 with width S can, via co-extrusion, comprise a harder or stronger synthetic material.
- this central support strip 46 can be given an extra strong anchoring or clamping zone on the crosscut (short) panel edge 34.
- the zones or sections 50 between consecutive wide support strips 20, 46, 20 can be comprised of softer synthetic material, possibly foam plastic or plastic filled with fillers, such as sawdust or chalk, for example.
- the rib 9 will have an adjusted shape with convexly curved sidewalls that clamp fittingly against the more or less concave sidewalls of the recess 10. It is also important that the connections, according to figures 3 and 4 on the one hand, and those according to figure 8 on the other, simultaneously produce a clamping or anchoring in a direction that is parallel to the top surface 3, 21 of the connected panels to prevent the panels from sliding apart laterally.
- This lateral clamping can be designed as a clamping or anchoring, free from play or not, on the adjacent upper edges 38 of the connected panels.
- FIG. 3 and also 8 to 10 for a floating floor panel shows a particularly advantageous narrow V-groove 40 between said upper edges 38 when connected. Its point reaches all the way below the surface 3 of the support plate 2, with the purpose to prevent the opposite edges of the hard covering 21 from being able to touch each other.
- plastic floor panels are generally placed on a relatively soft subfloor sheet. Now, if one should place a weight on one of the two adjacent edges 38 of such floor coverings, when walking on it for example, then it could be pressed down vertically in comparison to the adjacent edge. If the adjacent edges 38 would then come into contact, they couid rub and grind against each other vertically and thereby become damaged to an impermissible extent. The created V-groove systematically avoids this disadvantage.
- the rib 9 makes contact with the bottom side of the upper lip 11 of the male profile edge 6, while said recess 10 stretches across the length of the top side of the lower lip 12 of the female profile edge.
- the rib 9 makes contact with the top side of the lower lip 13 of the male edge 6, while the recess 10 stretches the bottom side of the upper lip 14 of the female profile edge 7.
- the protrusion length E of said lips, from the central body of the support plate 2, will usually comply with E ⁇ 7T.
- the thickness F or G of the thinnest zone of the protruding lips on the female profile edge can preferably be between 0.25 T and 0.30 T, while the thickness of the thinnest zones M or N of the protruding lip on the male profile edge can preferably be between 0.35 T and 0.45 T.
- the largest thickness P of said rib 9 can be smaller than the depth R of the recess 10 in which the rib rests and whereby 0.30T ⁇ P ⁇ 0.35T can apply.
- a more or less elastic compressible strip 17 on the top surface 15 of the rib 9. This can benefit the impermeability. It can also dampen any possible creaking or grinding noises in the covering when it is periodically subjected to unevenly distributed cross-loads (according to direction D), when e.g. walking on a floor covering according to the invention.
- the strip 17 can be applied by means of co-extrusion.
- Figure 5 shows the two cross profile edges created by milling: the male 36, respectively the female 37 on the respective opposite sides 34 and 35 of a panel.
- These openings 39 can then potentially be useful as evacuation areas for panel dust for the clamping connection of adjacent panels on those sides 34, 35. Additionally, they can help bending the bottom Hp outwards a bit easier in the edge 37. This can then benefit the connecting properties if necessary.
- the rib 9 When the depth C of the recess 19 is smaller than the thickness F, respectively G of the thinnest zone of the lip 12, respectively 14, then the rib 9 will be a continuous beam and not a series of consecutive blocks as shown in figure 6. In this case there also will not be any openings 39 in the lips 12, respectively 14.
- Figure 5 shows a rib 9 on the bottom side of its (upper) lip on the male side edge 36, which rib is provided with a groove 16 on its bottom side.
- This groove can substantially improve the clicking in, respectively clicking out of the rib 9 into and out of the recess 10.
- the panels can be disconnected from a wall more easily, to replace them for example, in particular when all panel edges have profiles as illustrated in figures 1, 3 and 5 for example. Indeed, clicking in and out takes place in a direction (D) transverse to the top surface of the panel.
- Figure 8 schematically represents the application of a tongue-in-groove connection for the adjacent coverings panels 25, 28 to their side edges 26, 27 of which said edges run parallel to the extrusion direction of their support plates.
- a clamping here in a direction D, transverse to the top surface 3 of the support plate.
- a tongue-in-groove connection can then also be applied to the edges of the support plate running perpendicular to the extrusion direction.
- a clamping connection can be applied to that cross edge with a rib 9 in a recess 10 as shown in figures 5-7, for example.
- a clamping connection with rib 9 in recess 10 can also be applied on both the panel edges running parallel to the extrusion direction and those crosswise to the extrusion direction.
- one can provide a tongue-in-groove connection on said cross edges and a rib-in-recess connection on the edges in the direction of extrusion.
- the recess 10 in the female profile edge has a less explicit dovetail- shape on its bottom side that in figure 3 or 5, for example. Close to its entrance 41, however, the recess does essentially have a dovetail-shaped cross-section.
- a wise choice for the curves 42 in the bottom sides of the recesses 10 could, however, effectively regulate the balance of strength and clamping force of the lip 12 in comparison to its capacity to bend outwards.
- the shape of the top surface 15 of the rib can also be adapted to this appropriately if so desired.
- Figure 10 illustrates a type of connection with two ribs 9 in two complementary recesses 10.
- This embodiment thus incorporates four clamping surfaces that could increase the clamping force or anchorage considerably. This is particularly advantageous for extremely thin panels.
- the ribs 9 have the same orientation.
- the connection shows an orientation for rib 9a that is opposite to that for rib 9b. It is obvious that near the plate edge for the male connection part, the orientation of the rib 9a can be reversed (upwards) such as it is for 9b. It is also possible to combine a rib 9a pointing upwards with a rib 9b pointing downwards.
- the complementary male and female profile edges can either be extruded along with the rest or not. If they are not simultaneously extruded, they will have to be produced in full by means of a milling process afterwards. If they can be satisfactorily extruded with constant dimensions, a milling process afterwards might become superfluous. This can be particularly acceptable in cases where an anchorage with clearance or play is permitted.
- Figure 12 is a sketch of the extrusion of a couple of possible precursory profiles 9, 51; 10, 51 for a connection with a rib 9 in a recess 10. It is important for these precursory profiles that, during extrusion, the contour of the male edge 11 is surrounded by an excess 51 of synthetic material, which can then be milled down precisely to the desired outer-edge size of the rib 9, amongst others. This excess 51 should also be left in the inner-space of the recess 10 of the female profile edge for the purposes of a proper milling process, to obtain the correct size and shape of this recess.
- the excess 51 of milled-down material does not necessarily have to have the shape of a concentric layer as shown in figure 12.
- the wall covering section according to figure 13 with adjacent rectangular panels 1, 8 with width B illustrates a top view of the protruding female profile edges 35 on the short panel sides 24.
- the male profile edges 6 (dotted line) protrude along the bottom side of the panel surface near the panel edges 23 (following the extrusion direction).
- the opposite parallel female profile edges 7 can be seen on the other side of each panel.
- the covering When using the covering as a floating floor covering, it is generally placed on a flexible sheet or subfloor, made of foam material, for example. Undoubtedly the hollow open leftover spaces of the recesses 19 above this subfloor ensure the excellent sound damping qualities of the floor covering.
- a noise test confirmed that the sound damping properties of the wall or floor covering, according to the invention, are even better than of the (floor) covering according to EP 1808546.
- These recesses can also serve as ventilation channels for airing and keeping dry should, for example, moisture seep through to the subfloor between the adjacent edges 38, in particular through the openings 39 (figure 7) on the crosswise panel edges.
- FIG 14 The distinct shapes of the nozzle slots of the extrusion head and calibration section are represented in figure 14 and 15.
- a segment is shown of the exit slot of the extrusion head 57.
- This head 57 has an upper mould part 58 and a lower mould part 59.
- In between a cross section 60 is shown of the extruded plate as it emerges from the extrusion head.
- the entrance slot 62 of the mould 54 of the calibration section is just downstream of the outlet slot of the extrusion nozzle 57.
- This mould 54 (figure 15a) has likewise a upper mould plate 55 and a lower mould plate 56. At least the upper mould plate 55 is cooled inside by circulating a cold fluid through its body (not shown). Moreover, air suction circuits in this mould plate 55 produce the desired sub atmospheric pressure to realise and maintain the close contact of the upper flat surface 3 of the advancing extruded plastic plate 2 against the cooled mould plate 55 in the cooling and calibration section.
- the sloped upright edges 53 in the entrance slot 62 of the calibration mould 54 may have a smaller inclination than the sloped upright edges 61 at the exit of the extrusion nozzle 57 (figure 14).
- the thickness 63 of the freshly extruded plastic plate 60 above the recess 19 is preferably somewhat smaller than the corresponding slot width 64 at the entrance 54 of the calibration section (figure 15a).
- the thickness 65 of the support strips 20 at the exit of the extrusion nozzle is substantially equal to the thickness 66 of the support strips entering the calibration section (figure 15a).
- the inclination of the sloped upright edges 53 at this exit is possibly even weaker than at its entrance side shown in figure 15a. This may promote further an easy flow of the excess quantity of resin pushed away and upwards from the gradually transverse thinning or narrowing support strips 20 from the larger thickness 62 (figure 15a) to the smaller thickness 67 (figure 15b). Indeed the flow of this excess is pushed upwards to the intermediate recess 19 and thus to the compensation chamber 68.
- the recesses 19 serve as collection chambers 68 for the leftover synthetic material that is pushed away upwards during calibration, along their sloped upright edges 53 from the protruding support strips 20, 43, 46 in the upper wall 52 (figure 2) of these recesses 19.
- the eventual depth C of these recesses 19 can become slightly lower (or smaller) on average than that immediately after the extrusion nozzle and the upper wall 52 of these recesses are generally less even than the top surface 3 of the plate, or than the bottom face 18 of the support strips 20, 43, 46.
- recycled plastic materials are used that may contain all kinds of contaminations and dust. These particles can then be pushed away more or less in the calibration section towards the compensation chambers 68, e.g. in the somewhat uneven upper surface 52 of the recesses 19.
- the invention relates thus also covering panels 1,25 with a single-piece extruded support plate 2 with a thickness T, made of synthetic plastic material, e.g. comprising predominantly a hard and at least in part recycled plastic resin, with a flat top surface 3, a bottom face 18 and with pairs of opposite sides 4,5; 29, 32; 34, 35 that are provided with complementary profile edges in the form of a male profile edge 6, 26, 36 on the one side and a female profile edge 7, 27, 37 on the opposite side of said pair, where said male profile edge 6, 26, 36 of this panel 1, 25 can be connected in a clamping or anchoring manner to a female edge 7, 27, 37 of an equal adjacent covering panel 8, 28, which have strip-shaped recesses 19 in their bottom face 18 that follow the direction of extrusion and that alternate in that place with a number of support strips 20 and wherein the upper wall 52 of these recesses 19 is on the average less even than the top surface 3 of the support plate 2.
- synthetic plastic material e.g. comprising predominantly a hard and at least in part recycled plastic resin
- At least a part 46 of these support strips 20 have preferably a width S along that bottom face 18 that complies with 1,5T ⁇ S ⁇ 1OT, whereby that part is substantially evenly spread over the width B of the panel and with 0,4T ⁇ C ⁇ 0,7T in which C is the average depth of these recesses 19.
- the calibrated plate Upon leaving the calibration section, the calibrated plate is preferably passed through horizontally and cooled in a watershoot while it can simultaneously be subjected to at least one bending process along the direction that it runs, preferably near the entrance to the watershoot.
- the plate is then, for example, forced to deviate from its flat trajectory through the watershoot over a guide member, placed crosswise over the shoot and that is mounted slightly above the horizontal track course in the gutter. This presumably induces tension, at least in the flat top surface of the plate, which gives it the tendency to convexly bend slightly upwards over its length after having cooled down completely.
- Figure 2 and 8 present a tongue-in-groove design and in the other figures a rib-in-recess design on the panel edges is shown with a click-in connection for both types.
- the invention comprises also other profile edges and their connections without a click-connection, whether with or without clearance or play, but only with a pivoting movement to connect, for example, and that allows a clamping or anchoring connection, for example along a direction D running transverse to the top surface 3 of the plates or panels. It is also possible to extrude the support plate 2 and to advance it through the calibration section upside down, i.e. with its flat surface 3 as underside of the plate and the support strips 20 in its upper side.
