Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of flooring, and in particular relates to a fall-prevention floor for the elderly. Background Technology

[0002] Hard flooring and soft flooring differ in many ways, including materials, performance characteristics, and applicable scenarios. Soft flooring offers some cushioning and is often used in children's rooms, elderly people's rooms, gyms, and bathrooms.

[0003] Existing patent CN202320292835.3 discloses a double-layer high-cushion cross-shaped interlocking floor, including a panel, horizontal and vertical ribs at the bottom of the panel, and elastic supports within a grid formed by the intersection of the horizontal and vertical ribs. The elastic supports are connected to the corresponding horizontal or vertical ribs via support plates, and there is a gap between the elastic supports and the panel. This invention adds elastic supports below the panel, with a gap between the elastic supports and the panel. The lower end of the elastic supports contacts the ground. When someone steps on it, the gap between the elastic supports and the panel provides cushioning, resulting in better impact absorption. However, because the interlocking floor uses a ribbed structure and elastic supports at the bottom, the actual support area at the bottom of the floor is significantly reduced. Although it can provide cushioning in case of a fall, long-term walking on this soft floor indoors is not conducive to maintaining the normal walking function of the elderly. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the technical problems existing in the aforementioned floor mats by proposing a fall-proof floor for the elderly that is reasonably designed, simple in structure, moderately soft and hard, has good cushioning, and high protective capabilities.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: the anti-fall floor for the elderly provided by this utility model includes a pad body, on which multiple evenly distributed hollow buffer structures are provided. The bottom of each hollow buffer structure is a plane. Each hollow buffer structure includes a sinkhole, with a central hole at the bottom of the sinkhole and multiple side holes on the sidewalls of the sinkhole. Connecting ribs are provided between adjacent hollow buffer structures, and edge ribs are provided on the sides of the outermost hollow buffer structures.

[0006] Preferably, the hollow buffer structure has a quincunx-shaped cross-section and includes a bottom plate. The bottom plate has four symmetrically distributed side prisms on its sides, and the connecting ribs connect the side prisms on adjacent hollow buffer structures in pairs.

[0007] Preferably, the side prisms have an L-shaped cross-section and adjacent side prisms with the same hollow buffer structure form the side holes, which are vertical strip holes.

[0008] Preferably, the central hole is a circular hole and is located at the center of the bottom surface of the groove bottom plate.

[0009] Preferably, the edges of the side prism and the connection between the side prism and the bottom plate of the groove are rounded.

[0010] Preferably, the cross-section of the hollow buffer structure gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the thickness of the pad is less than the vertical depth of the hollow buffer structure.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This utility model provides an anti-fall floor for the elderly. By incorporating several hollow cushioning structures and connecting ribs into the mat, it provides excellent support, thus facilitating the maintenance and rehabilitation of the elderly's normal walking function. Furthermore, the hollow cushioning structures deform instantly upon impact from a fall, providing cushioning and pressure relief to prevent and reduce potential injuries. This device is rationally designed, simple in structure, moderately soft and hard, provides good cushioning, and offers high protection, making it suitable for large-scale promotion.

[0021] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other. For ease of description, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" appearing below only indicate that they correspond to the upper, lower, left, and right directions in the accompanying drawings and do not limit the structure.

[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0023] Examples, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the anti-fall flooring for the elderly provided by this utility model includes a pad 1. Multiple evenly distributed hollow buffer structures 2 are provided on the pad 1. The bottom of each hollow buffer structure 2 is flat. Each hollow buffer structure 2 includes a recess 21 with a central hole 22 at its bottom and multiple side holes 23 on its sidewalls. Connecting ribs 3 are provided between adjacent hollow buffer structures 2. Edge ribs 4 are provided on the sides of the outermost hollow buffer structures 2. Specifically, the connecting ribs 3 improve the strength at the base of the hollow buffer structures 2, and the edge ribs 4 provide good elastic recovery after the edges of the pad 1 are compressed. Therefore, the design of the connecting ribs 3 and edge ribs 4 helps to extend the actual service life of this product. The vertical thickness of the connecting ribs 3 and edge ribs 4 is less than the depth of the hollow buffer structures 2, so the connecting ribs 3 and edge ribs 4 do not affect the maximum deformation capacity of the hollow buffer structure, thus providing better cushioning protection.

[0024] Furthermore, all the hollow buffer structures 2 can be distributed in a rectangular array or a circular array. As supporting parts of the mat 1, the distribution density and spacing of all the hollow buffer structures 2 on the mat 1 are moderate, ensuring the supporting area is not too small, thus providing good support for the mat 1 and facilitating the maintenance and rehabilitation of the elderly's normal walking function. Moreover, when subjected to the impact force of an elderly person falling, the hollow buffer structure can deform accordingly, providing cushioning and pressure relief protection, avoiding and reducing potential physical injuries from falls. Additionally, the support gaps provided by the hollow buffer structure 2, which connect with the side holes 23, prevent water accumulation on the floor surface and bottom, promote water flow away from the surface of the mat 1, and prevent the formation of a continuous smooth water film on the surface of the mat 1, thus affecting the function of the product. The central hole 22 allows the hollow buffer structure 2 to undergo cushioning deformation after bearing load, rather than slipping on the floor, thereby achieving the purpose of cushioning protection.

[0025] To improve the practicality of the hollow buffer structure 2, the hollow buffer structure 2 provided by this utility model has a quincunx-shaped cross-section and includes a bottom plate 24. The bottom plate 24 has four symmetrically distributed side prisms 25 on its sides. Connecting ribs 3 connect the side prisms 25 on adjacent hollow buffer structures 2 in pairs. The space formed by the bottom plate 24 and the side prisms 25 provides deformation allowance for the compression deformation of the entire hollow buffer structure 2. Adjacent hollow buffer structures 2 have two pairs of side prisms 25 on their opposite faces, connected by two connecting ribs 3 and distributed on both sides of the side holes 23. Overall, the root of the hollow buffer structure 2 forms a grid-like connection design through four connecting ribs 3, which effectively improves the uniformity of stress on the hollow buffer structure 2, thus enhancing its buffering effect, and also extends the actual service life of the product.

[0026] Furthermore, the side prism 25 provided by this utility model has an L-shaped cross-section, and adjacent side prisms 25 of the same hollow buffer structure 2 form the side hole 23, which is a vertical strip hole. The bottom of the strip hole extends through the bottom plate 24 of the groove, and the part of the side prism 25 near the root of the hollow buffer structure 2 is connected to the adjacent side prism 25 to form a whole. This not only provides a certain elastic recovery guarantee for the hollow buffer structure 2, but also improves the fatigue resistance of the contact root between the hollow buffer structure 2 and the pad, which is beneficial to extending the actual service life of the local plate.

[0027] To enhance the negative pressure effect at the bottom of the hollow buffer structure 2, this invention designs the central hole 22 as a circular hole and positions it at the center of the bottom surface of the groove bottom plate 24. In this way, the pad remains firmly attached to the floor in its natural state, while under load, excess air can be expelled through the deformation of the hollow buffer structure 2, creating negative pressure and allowing the bottom of the hollow buffer structure 2 to adhere better to the floor.

[0028] In order to improve the stress effect of the hollow buffer structure 2, the edges of the side prism 25 and the connection end between the side prism 25 and the bottom plate 24 are all rounded. Compared with the right angle transition, the rounded corners can make the hollow buffer structure 2 more smoothly deformed under pressure, avoiding the foot from feeling jerky and increasing the instability during the elderly's use.

[0029] To improve the practicality of the hollow buffer structure 2, the cross-section of the hollow buffer structure 2 provided by this utility model gradually decreases from top to bottom. In this way, the gradual change effect of the hollow buffer structure provides a certain buffer margin and protects the elderly's function during normal daily walking, preventing the floor from being too soft and causing the elderly to become overly dependent on it. In addition, a certain water-permeable gap can still be maintained between adjacent hollow buffer structures 2 to prevent water accumulation under the floor. At the same time, the thickness of the pad 1 provided by this utility model is less than the vertical depth of the hollow buffer structure 2, ensuring a certain buffer margin, which also helps to improve the cushioning performance of the pad 1 in the vertical direction.

[0030] When in use, lay a layer of plastic flooring about 2mm thick on top of the pad 1 to ensure that there are no gaps during use and to prevent debris from entering the sink 21. Of course, other base plates can also be laid, as long as they do not hinder the deformation of the hollow buffer structure 2. The plastic flooring can be directly glued to the pad 1 or laid out.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
