Description

The invention relates to the field of construction, and specifically to a method of decorating a flat floor covering of wood or stone and a device used in the implementation of this method, which is intended for milling in the floor covering of the recess, intended for the installation of a decorative insert.

A known method of manufacturing art parquet, which allows to form an artistic pattern made from many parquet blocks with a general composition, artistic parquet panel, which can occupy an area from one to tens of square meters. Artistic design can occupy the entire floor covering area or be an artistic fragment in one or several parts of the floor covering. This solution provides for the preliminary manufacture of rectangular parquet blocks from the glued blanks that form an artistic image. Manufactured parquet blocks are laid on the base prepared for laying parquet, with the arrangement of the parquet blocks in accordance with the artistic image. Parquet block blanks are manufactured on a milling machine with numerical program control, which ensures high precision in the manufacture of blanks for the subsequent assembly of the “pattern” of the parquet block (ЕА 011437 В1, МПК Е04Е 15/04, 27.02.2009).

The known solution does not provide for the possibility of decorating an existing floor covering. To solve the problem of obtaining a decorated flooring is possible only complete dismantling of the previous coating and laying a new one with decorative elements.

The problem to which the present invention is directed is to provide the possibility of decorating the previously formed homogeneous flat flooring of wood or stone with artistic elements.

This problem is solved by a method of decorating a flat floor covering of wood or stone, which includes the following operations:

the manufacture of a flat decorative insert of a material suitable for covering the floor in the form of one or several mating blanks of a curvilinear configuration;

installation on the decorated floor covering and fixed fixation of the program-coordinate device for milling in the floor covering of the recess;

selection in the floor of the recess in the form of a flat decorative insert to a depth not exceeding the thickness of the flat decorative insert;

installation in the resulting recess flat decorative insert with its fixing composition.

After curing the fixative composition, grinding and subsequent finishing of the floor covering can be carried out completely or only in the area of the decorative insert.

Flat decorative inserts with a thickness of from 1 to 20 mm can be used. As suitable for covering the floor material for the manufacture of a flat decorative insert, wood can be used, while it is advisable to use an anhydrous adhesive as a fixing composition. It is possible to use natural or artificial stone, ceramics as a material suitable for covering the floor for the manufacture of a flat decorative insert. In this case, as a fixing composition can be used cement mortar or polymer adhesive composition.

The software-coordinate device for milling recesses for decorative inserts in flat floor coverings made of wood or stone contains a frame with a cross member mounted on pneumatic supports for securing the device to the floor covering in the milling zone mounted on the frame with the possibility of reciprocating movement in the direction orthogonal to it through the first precision drive reciprocating action;

a milling module mounted on the crossmember with the possibility of reciprocating movement along the cross member by means of a second precision drive of reciprocating action;

Control block.

The milling module contains a spindle mounted for rotation with adjustable speed and reciprocating movement and fixation. The spindle contains a knot for fastening the end mill, located at the end of the spindle, directed by its axis perpendicular to the plane passing through the specified pneumatic supports of the frame.

Each pneumatic support is made in the form of a sucker.

The first and / or second precision actuator may contain a spindle with a spindle nut connected to an electric servo motor.

It is possible that the first and / or second precision drives were made in the form of an electric high-precision linear servomotor.

The possibility of carrying out the invention is illustrated by the following example.

FIG. 1 shows a cross section of a fragment of a floor covering 1 in the installation zone of a flat decorative insert 2 made of a material suitable for covering a floor in the form of one or not

- 1 013036 how many mating blanks of a curved configuration. One of the possible variants of a decorative insert consisting of central 3 and 4 and peripheral 5 mating elements is shown in FIG. 2, a plan view.

On the floor in the decoration area, a software-coordinate device is installed and fixed for milling in the floor covering the recess 6 (Fig. 1) for the decorative insert 2. Then the recess 6 is directly sampled according to the shape of the decorative insert 2 to a depth not exceeding its thickness.

After that, the installation is carried out in the recess 6 without gaps of the decorative insert 2 (or its set of mating elements 3, 4, 5) with its fixation by the fixing composition. After curing of the fixative composition, grinding and subsequent finishing of the floor covering are carried out completely or only in the area of the decorative insert 2.

Depending on the type of flooring, decorative inserts 2 of different thickness and of different materials can be used.

The parquet flooring can be decorated with wooden decorative inserts 2 with a thickness of 3 to 8-10 mm, the mating elements of which are made of precious or hard wood. It is advisable to use solid wood in flooring areas where it is subject to the greatest wear and tear (for example, at door sills, in corridors).

The parquet flooring can be decorated with decorative inserts 2, made from plates of natural or artificial stone, from polymeric materials, from glass. In this case, depending on the hardness and strength of the material of the mating elements, the area of the decorative insert 2 may have a thickness of from 2 to 10 mm.

The flat floor covering 1 of natural or artificial stone can be decorated using decorative inserts 2 also of natural or artificial stone, which differ in color. To ensure reliability, the thickness of such inserts 2 may lie in the range of 10-15 mm. The floor covering 1 of natural or artificial stone can also be decorated with decorative inserts 2 made of wood, polymeric materials, glass, metal. The flooring of parquet boards, panels, of laminated materials, made on the basis of wood, can be decorated with inserts of metal with a thickness of 1-2 mm.

The listed combinations of base and decor materials are not exhaustive and can be virtually any.

For fixing decorative inserts 2 of wood, it is advisable to use anhydrous adhesives. Decorative inserts 2 made of natural or artificial stone, from ceramics can be fixed using cement mortar, when the flooring 1 is also made of stone. If decorative inserts 2 of stone or ceramics are formed on the parquet floor, then it is advisable to use polymer adhesives. There are no special requirements for fixing decorative inserts 2, and you can use any known fixing composition suitable for gluing materials of decorative insert 2 and floor covering material 1. This rule also applies to the case of forming decorative inserts 1 from polymeric materials, glass, ceramics, metal .
