Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of housing structure technology, and in particular to a housing structure that facilitates carpet cleaning. Background Technology

[0002] Bathrooms in apartment buildings are often small, making it inconvenient to clean carpets in your own bathroom. Going out to clean them is troublesome and expensive, and if there are only a few stains, it's not cost-effective to spend money on cleaning.

[0003] This inconvenience stems from the fact that the design of residential buildings did not take into account details such as cleaning carpets at home. Residents of apartment buildings do not have a small yard to clean carpets and can only clean them in the bathroom. However, the bathroom area is very limited. In some older apartment layouts, after tiling, the interior space of the bathroom is only 1m², just enough to fit a toilet, preferably a squat toilet. The bathroom of a typical house is 2-3m². Even in a typical large apartment, after renovation and tiling, the interior size of the bathroom is unlikely to exceed 2×2.5m.

[0004] Furthermore, the bathroom has a fixed toilet and sink, which take up a small area, so it can only barely accommodate a carpet the size of a single bed.

[0005] If the bathroom area is still usable, then the requirement for cleaning the carpet in the bathroom is to reduce or even eliminate all items that occupy floor space, so as to completely free up bathroom space, such as using a squat toilet that is flush with the floor.

[0006] The following are six corresponding measures.

[0007] A squat toilet is used in the living room, which is flush with the floor and offers a larger usable area compared to a seated toilet.

[0008] The bathroom sink and storage cabinet can be easily moved or relocated.

[0009] The result of separating the wet and dry areas in a bathroom with a sink is that the space is fragmented and impractical.

[0010] If the balcony and two bathrooms are combined, and the two bathrooms are next to each other by a wall, you can consider knocking down the wall.

[0011] If the wall separating the two bathrooms in an existing building is a shear wall and cannot be demolished, then the two bathrooms cannot be combined.

[0012] The bathtub in the storage room cannot be fixed to the floor. The material should be lightweight and easy to move. Consider adding a tray wheel and temporarily moving it to the living room.

[0013] The above six points about the bathroom can be achieved through interior decoration and are not the focus of this design.

[0014] The core design principle of this house layout is to allow residents of apartment buildings who do not have a yard to clean carpets to make use of the existing space inside the house, so that they can clean carpets without leaving home, reducing unnecessary trouble and expenses.

[0015] To wash a larger rug at home, considering the room size, we had to do it outside the bathroom. The largest area is the living room, followed by the bedroom. We temporarily created a washing sink, and will restore everything to its original state after use.

[0016] Meanwhile, the washing sink can only be designed around the bathroom, using the bathroom's drainpipe.

[0017] Alternatively, drill a hole from the bottom of the partition wall between the bedrooms on either side of the bathroom to reach the bathroom.

[0018] Alternatively, you can go from the main entrance of the living room → the shallow pool under the living room carpet → the bathroom.

[0019] This design also applies to bungalows with small courtyards, but it requires an indoor bathroom, as the bathroom's water supply and drainage pipes will be used. In hot weather, carpets can be washed in the courtyard, while in winter they can be washed inside the house. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a house layout structure that facilitates carpet cleaning.

[0021] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A house layout for easy carpet cleaning includes a living room, a bathroom floor, a balcony, and a bedroom. The living room and bedroom have cleaning pools on their bottom outer walls, and the bathroom floor has a drain on its bottom outer wall. The bathroom floor is deeper than the cleaning pool. The bathroom floor and the cleaning pool have drain outlets on their opposite inner walls. The cleaning pool has grooves on both inner walls, and wooden blocks are inserted into the inner walls of the grooves.

[0022] Preferably, a set of angle steel is fixed to the inner walls of both sides of the cleaning pool by expansion bolts, and the outer wall of the wooden block is inserted into the outer wall of one side of the angle steel.

[0023] Furthermore: Channel steel is fixed to the inner walls on both sides of the cleaning pool by expansion bolts, and notches are opened at both ends of the wooden block. Channel steel expansion bolt protrusions are fixed to the inner wall of one side of the channel steel, and the wooden block is inserted into the inner wall of the channel steel.

[0024] A further preferred embodiment: the inner wall of the cleaning pool is provided with multiple forklift pallet racks, the height of which is the same as the depth of the cleaning pool.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention: the inner walls on both sides of the cleaning pool are respectively fixed with irregularly shaped bricks for the wall skirt by expansion bolts, and wooden blocks are inserted into the inner walls of the irregularly shaped bricks for the wall skirt.

[0026] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a sealing wooden block is inserted into the inner wall of the sewage outlet.

[0027] As a further embodiment of the present invention: an elevation angle plate is fixed to the inner wall of the cleaning pool, and the height of the elevation angle plate is greater than the depth of the cleaning pool.

[0028] Based on the aforementioned solution: a flat-bottomed sealing panel is placed on the outer wall of the living room ceiling, and a pressure block is provided on the outer wall of the flat-bottomed sealing panel.

[0029] A preferred embodiment based on the aforementioned scheme is as follows: a sealing sheet is fixed to the outer wall of the height-increasing angle plate, the sealing sheet is placed on the top outer wall of the living room, and a pressure block is placed on the top outer wall of the sealing sheet.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. This house layout allows residents to easily clean their carpets in spacious areas such as their living room. For existing houses, whether multi-story or single-story, minor modifications can be made to install a cleaning sink indoors, bringing convenience to families, reducing carpet cleaning expenses and hassle, and promoting the popularization of carpets in the north.

[0031] 2. This room design utilizes existing space within the home, allowing families with carpets to clean them without leaving the house, reducing unnecessary hassle and expenses. New homes could consider incorporating this design, promoting it in show flats, which would encourage more families to choose carpets. Existing homes can achieve this through interior tiling and renovations. Its purpose extends beyond cleaning carpets in northern homes; it can also be used to wash felt carpets when no blankets are available.

[0032] 3. By setting multiple wooden block slots on both sides of the washing pool, in addition to using the wooden blocks to block water, each additional slot increases the size of the washing pool. At the same time, the outer wall of the wooden blocks is simply sealed, and the multiple slots allow for the selection of washing pools of different sizes, suitable for carpets of different sizes. When washing small carpets, it saves water and reduces the need to move furniture.

[0033] 4. The irregularly shaped wainscoting bricks in the washing pool should be L-shaped right angles, simultaneously glued and fixed to the side floor to reduce seams and leakage. Since the wainscoting bricks are mass-produced and of uniform size, there's no need for on-site cutting and splicing. The wainscoting bricks can be decorated with images of small fish and shrimp. The pool bottom bricks can be designed with various patterns, such as desert rivers / oases / lakes / icebergs / camels along the Silk Road. Avoid depicting people in the landscape at the foot of the pool. A green meadow landscape in the washing pool can resemble a carpet, with sheep and lakes / rivers. When washing the carpet, the washing pool resembles a small pond, lake, or reservoir, a very auspicious image for arid regions, while also serving the function of washing a carpet. Alternatively, a campfire pattern can be used, with water covering the fire during washing, symbolizing peace and safety for the home.

[0034] 5. Normally, we want the sink steps to be as low as possible to reduce the risk of falls. However, when cleaning, we want the sink to be as deep as possible, so we need to use lifters. Lifters can be made by hammering out sheet metal, or they can be made of plastic. Alternatively, we can consider foldable lifters, which are very simple, like hinges with a central pivot. These lifters can be folded up and stored under the sofa when not in use, saving space. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0038] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0039] Example 1: A house layout that facilitates carpet cleaning, such as... Figure 1-11 As shown, the bathroom includes a living room 1, a bathroom floor 2, a balcony 4, and a bedroom 5. The bottom outer walls of the living room 1 and bedroom 5 are respectively provided with a washing pool 3. The bottom outer wall of the bathroom floor 2 is provided with a floor drain 9. The depth of the bathroom floor 2 is greater than the depth of the washing pool 3. The inner walls of the bathroom floor 2 and the washing pool 3 on opposite sides are provided with a sewage outlet 10. The inner walls on both sides of the washing pool 3 are respectively provided with grooves 12. Wooden blocks 11 are inserted into the inner walls of the grooves 12. The inner walls on both sides of the cleaning pool 3 are respectively fixed with a set of angle steel 14 by expansion bolts, and the outer wall of the wooden block 11 is inserted into the outer wall of one side of the angle steel 14. The inner walls of both sides of the cleaning pool 3 are fixed with channel steel 16 by expansion bolts. The two ends of the wooden block 11 are respectively opened with notches 17. The inner wall of one side of the channel steel 16 is fixed with a channel steel expansion screw protrusion 6. The wooden block 11 is inserted into the inner wall of the channel steel 16. The inner wall of the cleaning pool 3 is provided with a number of forklift pallet racks 15, the height of which is the same as the depth of the cleaning pool 3. The inner walls on both sides of the cleaning pool 3 are respectively fixed with shaped wall skirt bricks 18 by expansion bolts, and the wooden blocks 11 are inserted into the inner walls of the shaped wall skirt bricks 18. A wooden block 19 is inserted into the inner wall of the sewage outlet 10.

[0040] in, Figure 1 The unit shown is type A. Figure 4 The unit shown is type B. Figure 6 The unit shown is type C.

[0041] The current building design does not take into account the need for indoor carpet cleaning. In the unfinished state, the height difference between the bathroom floor 2 and the living room floor 1 and bedroom floor 5 is not much. After the renovation, except for the bathroom floor 2 which is slightly lower, the rest of the floor is at the same level.

[0042] Some residents, even the tile installers, laid the bathroom floor tiles so flat they were like a mirror, which hindered drainage. In some cases, the difference in height between the inside and outside of the bathroom floor was only 2 or 3 centimeters, presumably out of concern that a noticeable step would cause elderly people to trip. In some homes, after renovation, the toilet floor in the bathroom was even a step higher than the living room floor.

[0043] Water flows downhill. Although there is a drain inlet on the bathroom floor 2, it feels like with this decorating style, it would be difficult to install a sink 3 in the living room 1 and bedroom 5. It would be easier to redo the renovation and lay new tiles.

[0044] When cleaning carpets outside the bathroom, the floor must have three different heights: high, medium, and low. Height 1, bedroom, living room 1, main passageway, balcony 4, etc. (not related to carpet washing)

[0045] Height 2 is the carpet washing pool 3, which is a shallow pool with a depth of at least half a fist.

[0046] Height 3, bathroom floor 2, half a fist lower than the sink 3.

[0047] From the floor at height 1, a carpet washing pool 3 is set at height 2. Wastewater from the washing pool 3 is discharged into the bathroom floor 2 at the lowest height 3 and then discharged through the sewer.

[0048] For newly built buildings, the cleaning pool 3 can be considered during construction, and it is not related to the overall structure of the building. There are only some requirements for the floor slab structure when pouring the floor slab: lower the floor slab of the bathroom to form a relatively large height difference with the other floor slabs in the room, because the cleaning pool 3 requires a three-level height difference on the ground.

[0049] For example, the floor of bathroom 2 should be at least 1 fist's width (10cm) lower than the floor slabs of bedroom 5 and living room 1, which is half the floor slab height. This setup is relatively simple to implement for newly built buildings. like Figure 1-2 As shown, taking the B-type apartment with a washing pool 3 centered on the living room 1 passageway as an example, adjustments are made to the floor slab along the line from the kitchen to the dining room to the central passageway, living room 1, and balcony 4.

[0050] When pouring the floor slab, the floor slab of cleaning pool 3 is poured out. The floor of cleaning pool 3 is lower than the floor slabs on both sides. The floor slabs on both sides of cleaning pool 3 are like a goose spreading its wings. In the state of the unfinished house, there is a three-level height difference in the indoor floor. In this way, there is no need to lay an extra layer of sand to form a height difference, which reduces the amount of decoration work and also reduces the weight of the building.

[0051] Bathroom floor 2 can also avoid obvious steps. Maintain a slight slope, such as a 1 / 50 height difference. For a 2m deep bathroom, a 4cm height difference is sufficient, and the slope is not obvious. Just like a flat roof has a slope, it facilitates rapid drainage and prevents roof leaks.

[0052] Requirements for house type and size: Any apartment, regardless of size, can accommodate a bathroom if the bathroom floor level 2 is at the lowest point of the apartment. However, there are some additional requirements for the apartment itself.

[0053] Small apartments, such as one-bedroom apartments, are too small to be suitable. In reality, two-bedroom apartments are also quite cramped because you need to clear the area for the cleaning sink and make room for temporary furniture, appliances, tables, chairs, and benches when cleaning carpets. Even in a three-bedroom apartment, cleaning carpets is quite a busy task.

[0054] The most suitable apartment layout for installing a washing pool is... Figure 4 The B-type unit shown here has the following special note: Type B is the best, simplest, and most convenient layout. The entrance leads directly into the living room, with the bathroom door directly opposite. To the left and right are the kitchen / dining room and living room 1 / balcony 4, respectively. Even though it's a two-bedroom apartment, the area for the sink 3 is comparable to that of a three-bedroom apartment.

[0055] 1: The simplest, most convenient, and easiest method is to have the sewage outlet of the cleaning tank 3 directly opposite the bathroom opening, essentially door to door. During cleaning, a flexible hose is used. After cleaning, the temporary wooden gate is opened to block the wooden block 19, allowing the sewage to drain into the bathroom. This is the simplest process.

[0056] 2: Cleaning the site is the easiest and has the least impact on the indoor environment before and after cleaning.

[0057] The passageway between the dining area and living room 1, although not obvious, does exist. It is like an indoor crossroads, basically a blank space where no furniture or appliances will be placed, otherwise it will affect indoor movement. Since the passageway is a blank space, the washing sink 3 includes the passageway, which minimizes the amount of furniture that needs to be moved, and makes the preparation before washing and the cleanup after washing the least effort.

[0058] 3: The area can be maximized. This passageway area alone is already quite large. A 4-5m² cleaning pool 3 can be installed here to clean carpets of most sizes in ordinary residences. The main passageway in the middle of the hall connects the dining area, kitchen, living room 1 rest area, and balcony 4 on the left and right. Living room 1 - passageway - dining area. The cleaning pool 3 is installed here, and the area can be maximized.

[0059] Move the dining table and chairs towards the kitchen, and move the sofa and coffee table from living room 1 towards balcony 4 as well. This will easily free up a large area for a sink 3, making it the simplest, easiest, and most effortless solution. The distance from the entrance door to the bathroom door is the length of sink 3, with a minimum of 2 meters. As for the width of sink 3, it depends on the size of the space between living room 1, the passageway, and the dining area.

[0060] If the room is large, with a distance of 10m between the kitchen window and the balcony window, which is not uncommon, then this cleaning sink 3 can be 5 or 6m wide and 3m long. It can accommodate a 3×5m carpet. This cleaning sink 3 is sufficient.

[0061] Compared to installing a washing pool in bedroom 5, drilling through the wall to drain sewage is a last resort and should be avoided as much as possible. It is also inconvenient to use, as you have to move all the items in the room and then put them back in place.

[0062] The installation of a cleaning pool 3 in the residence can be a small modification to existing houses, whether multi-story or single-story, bringing convenience to families, reducing the cost and hassle of cleaning carpets, and promoting the popularization of carpets in the north.

[0063] The interior can be renovated, some floor tiles can be replaced, and the thickness of the sand layer under the tiles can be adjusted to create a height difference. The sand layer under the bathroom tiles can be thinner, while the sand layer under the living room tiles can be thicker and higher. The investment is small, and the effect is quite good. In northern winters, laying a red carpet in living room 1 makes the room feel 1-2 degrees Celsius warmer. Especially during the Spring Festival, a carpet in living room 1 creates a festive atmosphere. Of course, with so many people coming and going during the Spring Festival, the carpet may get stained afterward, which can be easily cleaned using the cleaning sink 3.

[0064] like Figure 3 The A-type apartment shown here, if it is a walk-up building, may have three units per floor. The A-type apartment may be a two-bedroom apartment, and the bedroom opposite the bathroom door is the middle unit. Here, we take a three-bedroom apartment with two units per floor as an example.

[0065] like Figure 1 The B-type unit shown is the most desirable unit type. If it is a walk-up building, it may also be a three-unit building with one elevator. The B-type unit may be a two-bedroom unit. Here, we take the three-bedroom unit type as an example.

[0066] like Figure 4 The C-type apartment shown can be a three-bedroom or two-bedroom apartment. If it is a walk-up building, there may be three units per floor. The bedroom at the entrance is the middle unit. Here, we take a three-bedroom apartment with two units per floor as an example.

[0067] like Figure 3 The apartment type A shown here has a living room leading directly to the bathroom, with sewage drainage requiring a hole drilled through the wall. It's a common three-bedroom apartment with two units per floor, with the bathroom and bedroom located to the left and right of the entrance hall, respectively. There are two sinks with three locations to choose from.

[0068] Location 1 – Use the living room 1 as a washing pool 3, and open a drain outlet 10 at the base of the wall to discharge sewage to the bathroom.

[0069] Living room 1 can use only a portion of the area, and a step can be left for the TV cabinet. Of course, some families may not have a TV cabinet, the LCD TV can be mounted on the wall, or they may not even have a TV.

[0070] The TV cabinet is positioned with steps, at the same height as balcony 4, the dining area, the main passageway, and the bedroom. This height is the highest of the three steps, specifically step 1, and occupies the largest area of ​​the unit. Step 2 extends from the floor of the sink 3 in living room 1 to the bathroom at step 3.

[0071] Using the cleaning sink 3 to clean the carpet is a bit troublesome, as you need to move the sofa, coffee table, etc. If you choose a sofa that can be folded up to the wall, you won't need to move it. Generally speaking, carpets in living room 1 are most prone to discoloration and odor, so placing the cleaning sink 3 in living room 1 makes it convenient for frequent cleaning.

[0072] Location 2 – Use the bedroom opposite the bathroom as a washing pool 3, and leave a drain outlet 13 on the floor in the foyer between the bedroom door and the bathroom door.

[0073] like Figure 1 The layout shown, Type B, is the optimal layout for installing Washing Pool 3. Ideally, Washing Pool 3 should be centrally located in the main passageway between Living Room 1 and the dining room. With one elevator serving two units, the bathroom door faces the bedroom door, with the passageway between the two doors connecting Living Room 1 and the dining area. To emphasize Washing Pool 3, most of the dining room, kitchen, and bedrooms outside the bathroom in Living Room 1 are omitted. Steps are created on both sides of Living Room 1, leading directly to the lowest area of ​​Living Room 1, Washing Pool 3, upon entering.

[0074] When tiling this area, allow it to sink 5-10cm. Depending on the size of the area, install several retaining walls. Use wooden blocks 11 to block water in the pool space. This is suitable for washing carpets of different sizes. In the bedroom 5 next to the bathroom, a simple forklift pallet logistics rack 15 for washing carpets can be installed.

[0075] When installing a washing basin 3 in bedroom 5, the floor of bedroom 5 should be sloped slightly, with the exterior walls higher, to facilitate the flow of wastewater towards the bathroom. A height difference of 2-3 cm is sufficient and not noticeable. Leave one or two small openings at the bottom of the partition wall between bedroom 5 and the bathroom, the diameter of the heating pipes. A temporary water barrier 11 should be installed at the entrance of bedroom 5, or the partition wall between bedroom 5 and living room 1 can be removed and a sliding door installed, without affecting the installation of the water barrier 11. For all bedrooms, either raise the floor level or temporarily install a water barrier 11 at the entrance. The width of the sewage outlet 10 facing the bathroom and the sewage outlet 13 facing the bedroom can vary.

[0076] like Figure 4 As shown in the C-type apartment, the entrance door faces the bathroom directly, and the bathroom protrudes outwards. This is typically the case for apartments located on the side walls of a building. The bathroom space may also be used as a storage room, as in the A-type apartment. The bathroom door is squeezed together with the doors to the three bedrooms on the left and right, sharing a small, cramped entryway. Due to the small entryway and the steps leading to the TV cabinet, the bathroom is not as square as the B-type apartment, and the sink is an irregular corner shape.

[0077] To maximize the area of ​​the cleaning pool 3, the floor area of ​​living room 1 should be lowered to create a spare area for the cleaning pool 3. Several barriers should be installed, and wooden blocks 11 should be used to block water. A suitable area should be selected. A TV cabinet step can be omitted; instead, a high step can be installed on balcony 4. The area of ​​the balcony 4 step can be larger, and the coffee table and sofa from living room 1 can be temporarily placed nearby.

[0078] Living Room 1 Floor Plan Figure 11 As shown, most of the indoor floor is at height 1, the floor of the washing pool 3 is at height 2, and the bathroom floor 2 is at the lowest height, which is height 3. The damp floor must be at the lowest height.

[0079] A simple washing mat is installed in the washing pool 3. Taking bedroom 5 in type B as an example, prepare a few small wooden blocks and place them vertically facing the bathroom so that the sewage can flow into the bathroom through the gaps in the wooden blocks.

[0080] Considering that the cleaning pool 3 is only used occasionally, but the uneven ground makes walking inconvenient, the drain outlet 10 and the bedroom drain outlet 13 are narrowed to minimize the impact on the room floor. They are usually leveled with wooden blocks or bricks. Given that red bricks are common and readily available, their dimensions are used as a guide. A red brick / wooden block is placed horizontally at drain outlet 10 and the bedroom drain outlet 13. After cleaning, the red brick / wooden block is removed to drain the wastewater. Of course, a towel or plastic sheet should be wrapped around the red brick / wooden block. The red brick is 12cm wide, and after wrapping it with a towel to block the flow, the outlet width is 13cm.

[0081] The clips located on the inner walls of both sides of the cleaning tank 3, such as Figure 2 As shown, the simplest method is to leave a groove 12 in the wall, such as... Figure 6 As shown, next, a set of angle steel 14 is fixed to the inner walls on both sides of the cleaning pool 3 by expansion bolts. Then, channel steel 16 is fixed to the inner walls on both sides of the cleaning pool 3 by expansion bolts. The channel steel 16 can also be made of plastic products or aluminum alloy pipes, and the length can be adjusted by adding bolts.

[0082] By setting multiple wooden block slots on both sides of the washing pool 3, in addition to blocking water with wooden blocks 11, each additional slot increases the area of ​​the washing pool 3. At the same time, the outer wall of the wooden blocks 11 is simply sealed, and the multiple slots allow for the selection of different sizes of washing pools 3, suitable for carpets of different sizes. When washing small carpets, it saves water and reduces the need to move furniture.

[0083] The minimum area is set to 3×2m or 2×3m, which is slightly larger than a double bed. This is the largest size for a typical household blanket. If you don't mind the extra work, you can wash a carpet that is larger than 3 meters in length and width of the washing tub, such as 3×5m. You can roll it up in half, wash half of it first, and then wash it in two separate washes.

[0084] like Figure 6As shown, the wainscoting bricks 18 in the cleaning pool 3 are L-shaped right-angled plates, simultaneously glued and fixed to the side of the floor to reduce seams and leakage. The wainscoting bricks 18 are mass-produced with identical specifications, eliminating the need for on-site cutting and splicing. The main specification is height; the minimum internal height of the wainscoting bricks 18 is 5cm, with no maximum limit. The wainscoting bricks 18 can be decorated with pictures of small fish and shrimp. The bottom bricks can be decorated with various patterns, such as rivers / oases / lakes / icebergs / camels along the Silk Road in the desert. The landscape paintings at the foot of the pool should not include human figures. The green meadow landscape painting in the cleaning pool 3 resembles a carpet, with sheep and lakes / rivers. When washing the carpet, the cleaning pool 3 resembles a small pond, lake, or reservoir, a very auspicious landscape for arid regions, while also serving the function of washing a carpet. Alternatively, a campfire pattern can be used; washing the carpet with water over a fire symbolizes peace and safety for the home.

[0085] Consider the 11-piece wooden strip groove for water blocking at the corner of the wall. Fixing the groove requires drilling holes in the wall base to install expansion bolts. Notches 17 need to be cut at both ends of the 11-piece wooden strip to accommodate the protruding bolts. If there are multiple grooves, two holes need to be drilled at the wall base for each groove, which causes minor damage to the wall structure. The sealing between the groove and the 11-piece wooden strip, and between the groove and the wainscoting, also needs to be considered.

[0086] While drilling a few extra holes in the wall to install bolts isn't a big deal, there's an easier method that avoids drilling holes, minimizing damage to the wall structure and simplifying the requirements for the waterproof timber (11mm). It integrates the groove with the wainscoting bricks, creating a special type of irregularly shaped brick. Sealing is also simple: wrap the timber in plastic sheeting and insert it into the brick's groove for an easy seal.

[0087] Considering the grooves for the water-retaining timber, which bear some stress, separately molded 18-shaped wainscoting bricks can be used. These are thicker and sturdier, and can be processed using molds. They appear to be both sturdy and aesthetically pleasing, like firebricks. A groove width of 5-8cm on the 18-shaped wainscoting bricks is sufficient. The timber 11 can be higher, and the pool deeper. These shaped bricks, protruding from the floor and wall base, have minimal impact on indoor furniture. Table and chair legs can be avoided, unless the furniture has compressed board bases. In houses with this design, carpets can be washed only once a week.

[0088] like Figure 6 The image shows the groove diagram for the irregularly shaped wainscoting brick 18. The top image shows the side groove, and the bottom image shows the bottom groove. The irregularly shaped wainscoting brick 18 is L-shaped with a rounded edge when viewed from the side. The bottom surface of the brick groove is at the same height as the ground, and there is another portion embedded in the sand layer below the ground, like a foundation for the brick. A deeper foundation provides stability. A sink in a residence is likely to become a necessity, especially in areas where carpeting is common. Both domestically and internationally, new homes without sinks, or older homes where a sink cannot be added through renovations, are less desirable, and their property value will be affected.

[0089] Example 2: A house layout that facilitates carpet cleaning, such as... Figure 7-10 As shown, this embodiment makes the following improvements based on embodiment 1: the inner wall of the cleaning pool 3 is fixed with an elevation angle plate 20, and the height of the elevation angle plate 20 is greater than the depth of the cleaning pool 3; A flat-ground sealing panel 13 is placed on the outer wall of the top of the living room 1, and a pressure block 8 is provided on the outer wall of the flat-ground sealing panel 13. A sealing sheet 7 is fixed to the outer wall of the height-increasing angle plate 20. The sealing sheet 7 is placed on the top outer wall of the living room 1, and the pressure block 8 is placed on the top outer wall of the sealing sheet 7.

[0090] The riser design of cleaning tank 3: Normally, we want the steps in cleaning pool 3 to be as low as possible to reduce the risk of falls. However, when cleaning, we want pool 3 to be as deep as possible, so we need to use the stepping stone 20. The stepping stone 20 can be made by hammering out sheet metal or by using plastic, such as... Figure 8 As shown, you can also consider using a foldable corner panel. It's very simple, like a hinge, with a pivot in the middle. This type of height-increasing corner panel is 20mm high and can be flattened and stored under the sofa without taking up much space.

[0091] like Figure 9 As shown, a pool can be constructed on flat ground using the flat sealing panel 13, and then sealed with plastic sheeting. Alternatively, when laying floor tiles, a groove can be left in the floor of living room 1, and wooden blocks 11 can be placed into the groove to temporarily form a pool. For example, in apartment type A, the bathroom is separated from living room 1 by a wall. Ideally, there should be a 5cm step between living room 1 and balcony 4. If there is no step, two wooden blocks 11 of suitable length can be used as a temporary partition. The notches 17 at both ends of the wooden blocks 11 mate with the expansion bolts. Since the expansion bolts protrude from the wall, the two ends of the wooden blocks 11 need to be slightly modified to leave a notch 17 to mate with the expansion bolt in the groove.

[0092] Indoor washing basin 3 is suitable for bungalows / apartments in all directions. Bungalows with small yards can also be designed this way, but a bathroom is required inside the house, as it will share the bathroom's water supply and drainage pipes. In hot weather, carpets can be washed in the yard, and in winter, they can be washed inside the house.

[0093] This room design utilizes existing space within the home, allowing families with carpets to clean them without leaving the house, reducing unnecessary hassle and expenses. New homes could consider incorporating this design, promoting it in show flats, which would encourage more families to choose carpets. Existing homes can achieve this through interior tiling and renovations. Its purpose extends beyond cleaning carpets in northern homes; it also allows for the washing of felt carpets when no blankets are available.

[0094] In the south, with its rainy season and humid air, insects are easily attracted. Therefore, blankets and felt items are not recommended. Indoor washing tubs are also useful for washing linen / coconut fiber mattresses, bamboo mats, or synthetic carpets. They can also be used to wash sheets and comforters, such as space cotton comforters. If the cotton comforter isn't too delicate, it can be washed; simply beat it with a small wooden stick after it dries. Spring mattresses and other large woven textiles can also be washed.

[0095] Normally, when laying tiles indoors, the sand layer doesn't need to be completely laid, and the edges of the tiles can be hollow. However, the tiles for the washing basin must be completely laid, and the grout lines must be waterproofed to prevent sewage from soaking in. Afterwards, it should be rinsed with clean water. For all bedrooms, to prevent water from entering, temporary water-blocking wooden barriers can be installed at the bedroom doorways. This is relatively simple and requires minimal modification. These barriers should face the drain outlets 10 in the bathroom and 13 in the bedroom; their width can be adjusted.

[0096] When the washing pool 3 is not in use, the carpets laid on the living room 1 and bedroom 5 can be supported by the forklift pallet logistics rack 15.

[0097] Among them, the forklift pallet logistics rack 15 can be a wooden packaging box for valuable and precision items. It is made of sturdy materials and the side panels are excellent for carpet padding, just like tatami mats. Two stacked together are as high as a bed, making it easy to move.

[0098] The forklift pallet logistics rack 15 can also be used as a pallet for loading and unloading forklifts in freight yards. Available in wood or plastic, it is sturdy and durable. It can be used as a mat when washing carpets to facilitate wastewater flow. The forklift pallet logistics rack 15 can also be placed in the living room as a base for carpets. If it is made of wood, any gaps in the planks can be filled with wood flooring. It can be used as a carpet mat in the living room, or as a tatami mat about a fist's height.

[0099] I'm not optimistic about using a bedroom as a sink, but some apartment layouts have a bedroom or kitchen / dining room next to the living room, which is not close to the bathroom. So, I have no choice but to consider converting the bedroom into a sink.

[0100] For unit type B, the partition wall between the small bedroom and living room 1 can be knocked down, or a sliding door can be installed. This small bedroom can also serve as a side room / tea room or temporary bedroom. It can be furnished with easily movable furniture such as lightweight tables, chairs, benches, a single bed, and a computer desk. Heavier items can be fitted with wheels, such as a computer desk and a single bed. Of course, when knocking down the partition wall, a 10cm high wall section can be left at the floor level to prevent water from entering. Alternatively, the entire partition wall between the small bedroom and living room 1 can be knocked down, and wooden corner boards can be used to prevent water from entering. Another option is to raise the floor of living room 1.

[0101] Restaurants can also install a washing sink (3). Some kitchens have drain pipes on the floor, so a washing sink can be installed in the dining area next to the kitchen, with wastewater draining into the kitchen floor and then into the drain pipe. The important thing is that if the bathroom or kitchen floor has drain pipes, it is the most basic requirement for installing a washing sink.

[0102] For temporary water blocking timber 11, if residents measure the dimensions themselves and find a place to process it, even if it is made of wood, it is quite troublesome and takes at least 1 or 2 days. To reduce the trouble for residents, it can be customized in batches before the new house is delivered, and it can be considered as a free gift for the new house.

[0103] Aluminum alloy tubing can be used instead of timber (11mm). Adjust the length and fix it with bolts. Regardless of whether it's timber or aluminum alloy tubing, round tubing is not suitable; square tubing should be used. The sides should fit tightly against the corner plate, and the bottom edge should have contact with the ground. Wrapping it with plastic sheeting makes it easy to seal.

[0104] If it's a duplex apartment, you could consider cleaning the carpet on the second floor, leaving a drain pipe on the second floor slab, and temporarily connecting a flexible hose to the bathroom on the first floor.

[0105] If the washing basin 3 is too deep, it's inconvenient; if it's too shallow, it's not enough. When washing, twist the sheets and curtains to be washed into strips and place them on the edge of the washing basin. This way, even if the basin is shallow, it will still be sufficient. The sheets and curtains twisted into strips and placed on the edge of the washing basin 3 are not to replace the wooden block 11 that blocks water. When washing, you will definitely walk back and forth and push and pull the board, which will inevitably cause sewage and foam in the basin to splash out and make sewage run across the living room floor. Placing the sheets on the edge of the basin is to block sewage and foam, so that the basin can be filled with water. Even if it's shallow, it will still be enough. I estimate that at least 5cm is enough, and 10cm would be better.

[0106] Alternatively, use a strip-shaped water bladder made of soft rubber material, not too thin. After filling the bladder with water, place it on the edge of the pool, about 5-10cm high. The rubber material on the smooth floor tiles provides excellent sealing, which is definitely better than bed sheets or curtains. The water bladder has only a small volume after being filled with water, and it is also easy to clean.

[0107] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
