It is widely used, such as indoor homes, hospitals, schools, office buildings, factories, public places, supermarkets, businesses, sports venues. And other places.
现有的塑胶地板通常是直接铺设在地面上，塑胶地板利用胶水粘贴固定在地面上。塑料地板直接铺设在地面上会带来以下问题：一是对地面平整度的要求高，通常在铺设前需要做地面处理，使地面的平整度符合铺设的要求；二是回收困难，回收时容易出现损坏地面的情况。因此，申请人申请了一种包括软胶垫的新型地板结构，但由于软胶垫的增加，上述地板的包装问题也必须解决。Existing plastic flooring is usually laid directly on the ground, and the plastic floor is glued to the ground. The direct laying of plastic floor on the ground will bring the following problems: First, the requirements for the smoothness of the ground are high. Usually, the ground treatment is required before laying, so that the flatness of the ground meets the requirements of laying; second, it is difficult to recycle and easy to recycle. There is a situation where the ground is damaged. Therefore, the applicant applied for a new floor structure including a soft pad, but due to the increase in the soft pad, the above-mentioned floor packaging problem must also be solved.
发明内容Summary of the invention
为了解决上述技术问题，本发明的目的在于提供一种塑胶地板包装结构。In order to solve the above technical problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a plastic floor packaging structure.
本发明所采用的技术方案是：The technical solution adopted by the invention is:
一种塑胶地板包装结构，包括盒体，所述塑胶地板包括一软胶垫和多块地板块，所述软胶垫的短边长度是地板块的长边长度的整数倍，所述软胶垫以短边为轴卷绕后紧靠盒体一侧边放置，所述地板块紧靠软胶垫叠放在盒体内。A plastic floor packaging structure comprising a box body, the plastic floor comprising a soft rubber pad and a plurality of floorboards, the short side length of the soft rubber pad being an integral multiple of a length of a long side of the floorboard, the soft rubber The pad is wound with the short side as a shaft and placed close to one side of the box body, and the floor piece is placed in the box body against the soft rubber pad.
作为上述技术方案的进一步改进，所述软胶垫为矩形或方形。 As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the soft pad is rectangular or square.
作为上述技术方案的进一步改进，所述地板块为矩形或方形。As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the floorboard is rectangular or square.
作为上述技术方案的进一步改进，所述盒体的长度等于软胶垫的短边长度。As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the length of the casing is equal to the length of the short side of the soft pad.
本发明的有益效果是：The beneficial effects of the invention are:
本发明的塑胶地板包装结构将软胶垫卷绕后和多块地板块叠放在盒体内，由于软胶垫的短边长度等于地板块的长边长度的整数倍，使两者可以整齐叠放，解决了包装的问题。采用本发明的包装结构，无需将产品中的软胶垫和地板块分开包装，更方便产品的整体运输和出售，同时用户也可通过整体包装直接获知本产品的特点，并能购买包装好的整体产品，非常方便。The plastic floor packaging structure of the invention has a soft rubber pad wound and a plurality of floorboards stacked in the box body, since the short side length of the soft rubber pad is equal to an integral multiple of the long side length of the floor block, so that the two can be neatly stacked Put it, solve the problem of packaging. By adopting the packaging structure of the invention, it is not necessary to separately package the soft rubber pad and the floorboard in the product, which is more convenient for the overall transportation and sale of the product, and the user can directly know the characteristics of the product through the whole package, and can purchase the packaged product. The overall product is very convenient.

图2是本发明的第二实施例的结构示意图。Figure 2 is a schematic view showing the structure of a second embodiment of the present invention.
具体实施方式detailed description
参照图1，本发明提供的优选实施例，一种塑胶地板包装结构，包括盒体1，所述塑胶地板包括一软胶垫2和多块地板块3，优选的，所述软胶垫2和地板块3都为矩形，软胶垫2的厚度为0.3~2.5mm，地板块3铺设后的面积等于或略大于软胶垫2的面积，同时，所述软胶垫2的短边长度是地板块3的长边长度的整数倍，所述盒体1的长度等于软胶垫2的短边长度。Referring to Figure 1, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a plastic floor packaging structure comprising a casing 1 comprising a soft rubber mat 2 and a plurality of floorboards 3, preferably, the soft rubber mat 2 And the floor block 3 is rectangular, the thickness of the soft pad 2 is 0.3~2.5mm, the area after the floor block 3 is laid is equal to or slightly larger than the area of the soft pad 2, and the short side length of the soft pad 2 It is an integral multiple of the length of the long side of the floor panel 3, and the length of the casing 1 is equal to the length of the short side of the soft pad 2.
在符合上述要求后，所述塑胶地板进行包装时，先把软胶垫2以短边为轴卷绕后紧靠盒体1一侧边放置，再把地板块3紧靠软胶垫2叠放在盒体内。如图1所示，若地板块3的长边长度是软胶垫2的短边长度的1倍时，地板块3以长边直接紧靠软胶垫2叠放，就可获得整齐的效果；如图2所示，若地板块3的长边长度是软胶垫2的短边长度的二分之一时，则将两块地板块3的长边拼合，长边紧靠软胶垫2，再在上方叠放其余地板块3则可；如此类推，当地板块3的长边长度是软胶垫2的短边长度的三分之一时，则将三块地板块3拼合。After the plastic floor is packaged, the soft rubber pad 2 is wound with the short side as the axis and then placed close to the side of the box body 1, and then the floor block 3 is placed against the soft rubber pad 2 stack. Put it in the box. As shown in FIG. 1, if the length of the long side of the floor panel 3 is 1 times the length of the short side of the soft rubber pad 2, the floor panel 3 is directly stacked on the soft rubber pad 2 with the long side, so that a neat effect can be obtained. As shown in FIG. 2, if the length of the long side of the floor panel 3 is one-half of the length of the short side of the soft rubber pad 2, the long sides of the two floor blocks 3 are joined together, and the long side is close to the soft rubber pad. 2, then stacking the remaining floorboards 3 on top; and so on, when the length of the long side of the local panel 3 is one-third of the length of the short side of the soft rubber pad 2, the three floorboards 3 are joined together.
本发明的塑胶地板包装结构将软胶垫2卷绕后和多块地板块3叠放在盒体1内，由于软胶垫2的短边长度等于地板块3的长边长度的整数倍，使两者可以整齐叠放，解决了包装的问题。采用本发明的包装结构，无需将产品中的软胶垫2和地板块3分开包装，更方便产品的整体运输和出售，同时用户也可通过整体包装直接获知本产品的特点，并能购买包装好的整体产品，非常方便。The plastic floor packaging structure of the present invention winds the soft rubber pad 2 and stacks the plurality of floorboards 3 in the casing 1. Since the short side length of the soft rubber pad 2 is equal to an integral multiple of the length of the long side of the floorboard 3, The two can be stacked neatly to solve the packaging problem. By adopting the packaging structure of the invention, it is not necessary to separately package the soft rubber pad 2 and the floorboard 3 in the product, which is more convenient for the overall transportation and sale of the product, and the user can directly know the characteristics of the product through the whole package, and can purchase the package. A good overall product is very convenient.
