In the processes of the dismantling and installation of the quickly dismantlable floor member 1, the locking head 2-1 is retractable. When the quickly dismantlable floor member 1 is spliced with conventional floor members, the locking head 2-1 is joined with a neighboring conventional floor member. The corresponding side of the neighboring conventional floor member is required to be provided with a female buckle, and the locking head 2-1 protrudes into the female buckle to realize the joining.

[0051] The corresponding side of the neighboring conventional floor member may also be specially provided with a slot that cooperates with the locking head 2-1, so that the joining between the quickly dismantlable floor member 1 and the conventional floor member is more stable.

[0052] In order that the quickly dismantlable floor member 1 maintains a fastness state in use, and can sustain stamping for a long time, a female buckle 1-2 may be provided at the lateral face of at least the second side. When the quickly dismantlable floor member 1 is spliced with conventional floor members, the female buckle 1-2 is joined with the neighboring conventional floor member, and the corresponding side of the neighboring conventional floor member is required to be provided with a male buckle. The female buckle is of a concave type, which does not enlarge the size of the quickly dismantlable floor member 1, and facilitates the dismantling and installation of the quickly dismantlable floor member 1.

[0053] As shown in FIG. 5, the lateral face of the third side, which is next to the first side, is provided with a hand clasp 1-3, and the hand clasp 1-3 is of an inverse-step shape. During the dismantling of the quickly dismantlable floor member 1, the top surface of the quickly dismantlable floor member 1 may be sucked with a small-size vacuum suction cup. The vacuum suction cup is positioned adjacent to the first side, and applying an upward pulling force causes the first side of the quickly dismantlable floor member 1 to incline upwardly, with the locking head 2-1 of the automatic latch 2 retracts under a press.
