Abstract

The present invention discloses a suspended ceramic tile and a splicing method thereof, the suspended ceramic tile comprises: a substrate layer, wherein every two adjacent parts of the substrate layer are detachably connected to each other; a ceramic tile surface layer fixedly arranged on a top surface of the substrate layer; a suspension structure arranged at a bottom of the substrate layer, wherein the suspension structure is configured to make the substrate layer and the ceramic tile surface layer in a suspended state, so as to avoid soaking of the substrate layer by water. The present invention discards a series of environmental factor restrictions brought by the traditional laying method, increases the simplicity of ceramic tile splicing and disassembling, reduces the labor cost, enables the disassembled ceramic tiles to be reused, and enhances the service life of ceramic tiles. As there is a spacing between the ground and the substrate layer with the ceramic tile surface layer in the invention, soaking of the substrate layer and the ceramic tile surface layer by water is avoided, corrosion of the substrate layer by water is avoided, and the service life of the suspended ceramic tile body is prolonged.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A suspended ceramic tile, characterized by comprising:
 a substrate layer, wherein every two adjacent parts of the substrate layer are detachably connected to each other;   a ceramic tile surface layer fixedly arranged on a top surface of the substrate layer;   a suspension structure arranged at a bottom of the substrate layer, wherein the suspension structure is configured to make the substrate layer and the ceramic tile surface layer in a suspended state, so as to avoid soaking of the substrate layer by water.   
     
     
         2 . The suspended ceramic tile according to  claim 1 , characterized in that, the suspension structure comprises a plurality of support protrusions arranged spaced at the bottom of the substrate layer. 
     
     
         3 . The suspended ceramic tile according to  claim 2 , characterized in that, the bottom end of each of the support protrusions is provided with a flexible material which is used for sound insulation and increasing the friction between the support protrusions and the ground. 
     
     
         4 . The suspended ceramic tile according to  claim 1 , characterized in that, every two adjacent parts of the substrate layer are connected to each other by plugging or snap-fitting. 
     
     
         5 . The suspended ceramic tile according to  claim 4 , characterized in that, a plurality of hasps and/or buckles are arranged in a spaced-apart manner on at least two side edges of each part of the substrate layer; every two adjacent parts of the substrate layer are connected to each other by means of snap-fitting between the hasps and the buckles. 
     
     
         6 . The suspended ceramic tile according to  claim 5 , characterized in that, the hasps are arranged as T-shaped protrusions, and the buckles are provided with T-shaped holes matched with the T-shaped protrusions;
 or the hasps are arranged as rectangular protrusions, and the buckles are provided with rectangular holes matched with the rectangular protrusions.   
     
     
         7 . The suspended ceramic tile according to  claim 1 , characterized in that, the substrate layer is arranged in a shape of a grid, comprising a frame and a plurality of grid bars arranged in the frame, with a grid through hole or a grid blind hole formed between every two adjacent grid bars. 
     
     
         8 . The suspended ceramic tile according to  claim 1 , characterized in that, the substrate layer is made of a material of one of PP, PE or PVC. 
     
     
         9 . A splicing method of suspended ceramic tiles, characterized in that, splicing is performed on the suspended ceramic tiles according to  claim 1 , the splicing method comprises the following steps:
 step S 1 , fixing a part of ceramic tile surface layer onto a top of a part of substrate layer to form a splicing unit;   step S 2 , placing the splicing unit along an edge of a wall, so that the suspension structure at the bottom of the splicing unit contacts a ground, and directly plugging or snap-fitting the next splicing unit onto the previous splicing unit, so that the parts of substrate layer in the two splicing units are connected to each other by plugging or snap-fitting; and ensuring that there is a gap between the parts of tile surface layer in every two adjacent splicing units;   step S 3 , splicing each splicing unit in sequence according to the step S 2  to form a suspended ceramic tile panel as a whole.   
     
     
         10 . The splicing method of suspended ceramic tiles according to  claim 9 , characterized in that, in the step S 2 , the splicing units are arranged on a ground with geothermal pipes provided thereon.
