Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of dance mat technology, specifically a portable dance mat for teaching. Background Technology
[0002] Dance mats are specifically designed for dynamic movements, such as dancing, which require movement and jumping. They emphasize shock absorption, cushioning, and anti-slip properties to prevent the mat from shifting during exercise. They are usually made of high-density foam or rubber and have a textured surface to increase friction. They are widely used in dance studios, gyms, and home practice spaces.
[0003] In dance instruction, some students are highly competitive and pay close attention to the position of their practice mats, even needing to measure and adjust their orientation to suit their own practice habits, demonstrating high psychological demands. However, regular dance mats are prone to slipping under the impact of movements, and mats used for extended periods require cleaning to prevent excessive odor. This can create an additional burden for some students, affecting their normal practice and requiring improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a portable dance mat for teaching, comprising, from bottom to top, an anti-slip adsorption layer, a flexible buffer layer, and an anti-seepage and odor-blocking layer;
[0006] The bottom of the anti-slip adsorption layer is equipped with several suction cups, which protrude upwards. The openings of the suction cups are used to adhere to the ground and constrain the position of the anti-slip adsorption layer. The rest of the bottom surface of the anti-slip adsorption layer is flat against the ground.
[0007] The bottom of the flexible buffer layer has grooves for accommodating the protrusions corresponding to each suction cup, and the upper surface of the flexible buffer layer is flat.
[0008] The seepage-proof and odor-blocking layer is a flexible and waterproof TPE layer that can be detachably connected to the flexible buffer layer. Locking strips are provided along the circumference for locking.

[0013] As an optional embodiment of the portable teaching dance mat of the present invention, the bottom of the anti-slip adsorption layer is provided with several air vents with openings touching the bottom, and each air vent is arranged between two adjacent rows of raised seats.
[0014] As an optional embodiment of the portable teaching dance mat of the present invention, wherein the diameter of the groove is larger than the diameter of the bottom opening of the placement groove.
[0015] As an optional solution for the portable teaching dance mat of the present invention, the locking strip protrudes vertically downwards and is integrally connected to the bottom edge of the anti-seepage and odor-blocking layer, and a magnetic patch is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the locking strip;
[0016] A slot is provided on the upper edge of the flexible buffer layer. A magnetic patch two is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the slot. The locking strip is inserted into the slot and magnetic patch one magnetically attaches to magnetic patch two.
[0017] As an optional solution for the portable teaching dance mat of the present invention, wherein: the anti-seepage and odor-blocking layer is fitted to the upper surface of the flexible buffer layer and snapped together in the middle area;
[0018] The seepage-proof and odor-blocking layer is integrated with several locking strips at equal intervals in the middle; the cross-section of the locking strip is spherical and the strips are arranged laterally.
[0019] The flexible buffer layer has a slot for inserting and holding the card strip.
[0020] As an optional embodiment of the portable teaching dance mat of the present invention, wherein: the edge of the anti-seepage and odor-blocking layer is folded into the bottom edge of the anti-slip and absorbent layer, and an elastic band is provided on the edge of the anti-seepage and odor-blocking layer.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0022] This portable dance mat for teaching is mainly composed of an anti-slip adsorption layer, a flexible cushioning layer, and an anti-seepage and odor-blocking layer. The mat is fixed in place by suction cups at the bottom, which do not require padding. The rest of the bottom surface is flat and non-slip, adhering to the ground. The middle layer has grooves to accommodate any deformation that occurs when the mat is on the ground, keeping the surface of the mat level and preventing any protrusions. The outer layer is waterproof and stain-resistant, making it easy to clean. This prevents the bottom of the mat from getting wet and emitting odors, and also prevents the suction cups from slipping and failing after getting wet. This ensures the structural stability of the adsorption and fixation. The outer layer can be peeled off with force for cleaning, while the main body of the mat remains in place without any additional adjustments, making it convenient for some students to use during dance teaching and practice.

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] Please see Figure 1-6 A portable dance mat for teaching includes, from bottom to top, an anti-slip adsorption layer 1, a flexible buffer layer 2, and an anti-seepage and odor-blocking layer 3, which respectively have the functions of ground adsorption and fixation, flexible buffering for dance movements, and surface cleaning, thus forming an easy-to-use anti-slip mat.
[0035] In this embodiment 1, the flexible buffer layer 2 is set as a natural rubber sheet or a flexible foam sheet, in the shape of a rectangular sheet, with a thickness of not less than 12mm, to provide shock absorption and cushioning during dance practice and avoid hard impact injuries.
[0036] Furthermore, the anti-slip adsorption layer 1 is made of natural rubber sheet or flexible foam sheet, and the bottom of the flexible buffer layer 2 is glued to the upper surface. During product processing, it can be glued together using a hot-melt release adhesive mesh to form a stable pad.
[0037] Note: The bottom surface of the anti-slip adsorption layer 1 is provided with anti-slip texture, which is wavy and used for anti-slip gripping, providing basic anti-slip function.
[0038] The bottom of the anti-slip adsorption layer 1 is provided with several suction cups 4, which protrude upwards. The openings of the suction cups are used to adsorb onto the ground and constrain the position of the anti-slip adsorption layer 1. The rest of the bottom surface of the anti-slip adsorption layer 1 is flat against the ground.
[0039] In this embodiment 1, the suction cup 4 is trumpet-shaped, and a rectangular array is evenly arranged at the bottom of the anti-slip adsorption layer 1 below the opening, with a space of at least 2cm left at the edge of the anti-slip adsorption layer 1 to facilitate future peeling and use.
[0040] As a further improvement to this embodiment, to prevent the edge of the suction cup 4 from deforming and extending after it adheres to the ground, thus affecting the smooth laying of the anti-slip adsorption layer 1:
[0041] The anti-slip adsorption layer 1 has raised protrusions 101 corresponding to each suction cup 4. The bottom of the protrusions 101 has a placement groove 102, and the suction cup 4 is fixedly connected in the placement groove 102.
[0042] There is a gap between the bottom edge of the suction cup 4 and the bottom edge of the placement groove 102. That is, the bottom edge of the suction cup 4 is located above the opening of the placement groove 102. When the suction cup 4 is attached to the ground and deforms and unfolds, there is space for deformation and storage, so that it does not extend and touch the area where the anti-slip adsorption layer 1 is flat against the ground, thus avoiding the pad protruding.
[0043] Meanwhile, to ensure rapid expulsion of excess gas during flooring, the bottom of the anti-slip adsorption layer 1 has several open, bottom-contact exhaust channels 103, which are rectangular strip-shaped channels. Each exhaust channel 103 is arranged between two adjacent rows of raised seats 101. As the suction cup 4 gradually contacts the ground, excess gas flows into the exhaust channels 103 and is eventually discharged from the slots on the edge of the anti-slip adsorption layer 1, facilitating rapid gas expulsion and convenient installation and use.
[0044] The bottom of the flexible buffer layer 2 has grooves 5 for accommodating the protrusions 101 corresponding to each suction cup 4. The upper surface of the flexible buffer layer 2 is flat and does not rise, so as to avoid affecting the practice of dance movements.
[0045] The groove 5 is a cylindrical groove with a depth not exceeding 3mm and a diameter larger than the bottom opening diameter of the placement groove 102. It is used to cover the placement groove 102 and the suction cup 4. The covered area is not glued and can be touched. After the suction cup 4 is attached to the ground, the edge of the protrusion 101 may be flexibly wrinkled and deformed when it is pressed down to suction the ground. At this time, the groove 5 accommodates the deformed part, and the remaining adhesive composite area of the anti-slip adsorption layer 1 is not affected, ensuring that the upper surface of the flexible buffer layer 2 is flat.
[0046] It should be noted that the thickness of the flexible buffer layer 2, even without the groove 5, still exceeds 8mm, which meets the thickness requirements of conventional dance mats on the market.
[0047] The seepage-proof and odor-blocking layer 3 is detachably connected to the flexible buffer layer 2. A locking strip 6 is provided along the ring edge for locking, which constrains the seepage-proof and odor-blocking layer 3 to be stably connected to the flexible buffer layer 2, and avoids the mat layering disorder.
[0048] Among them, the seepage-proof and odor-blocking layer 3 is a flexible and waterproof TPE layer. TPE is one of the commonly used materials for dance mats. It has excellent performance and has anti-slip textures on the surface, which are shell textures, for anti-slip use during dance practice.
[0049] It should be noted that in this application, a removable anti-seepage and odor-blocking layer 3 is used as the outer layer on the bottom mat layer that is fixed to the ground. The anti-seepage and odor-blocking layer 3 has a waterproof effect and can prevent sweat and other substances from penetrating into the inner layer, avoiding moisture contamination and odor emission from the bottom mat. At the same time, moisture is blocked in the external area, and the edges of the entire bottom of the mat are also sealed to prevent the suction cups 4 from slipping and failing after being contaminated with moisture, thus ensuring the structural stability of the adsorption and fixation.
[0050] In this embodiment 1, the locking strip 6 is integrally connected to the bottom edge of the seepage-proof and odor-blocking layer 3, protruding vertically downwards, with a square cross-section. It forms a rectangular ring structure with the flexible buffer layer 2, and the bottom surface of the locking strip 6 is fixedly connected to the magnetic patch 7.
[0051] A slot 8 is provided on the upper edge of the flexible buffer layer 2. A magnetic patch 9 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the slot 8. The locking strip 6 is inserted into the slot 8. The magnetic patch 7 magnetically attaches to the magnetic patch 9. That is, the anti-seepage and odor-blocking layer 3 is constrained and fixed to the flexible buffer layer 2 by the locking strip 6.
[0052] Note: The depth of slot 8 is 3-5mm, and the locking strip 6 is arranged accordingly.
[0053] As a further improvement to this embodiment 1, the seepage-proof and odor-blocking layer 3 is attached to the upper surface of the flexible buffer layer 2 and is snapped together in the middle area to enhance the fixing effect.
[0054] A strip 10 is integrally connected in the middle of the seepage-proof and odor-blocking layer 3, and several strips are arranged at equal intervals; the cross-section of the strip 10 is spherical and the strips are arranged horizontally.
[0055] A slot 11 is provided on the flexible buffer layer 2 for inserting and holding the card strip 10, and a locking strip 6 is provided on the edge to enhance the stable fit and prevent the layers from being scattered.
[0056] To use, simply unfold the rolled-up mat and press it down to attach the suction cups 4 to the ground. The mat has a strong holding effect, and the surface is stain-resistant, protecting the inner mat body. Applying pressure allows you to peel off the outer layer for cleaning, while the main body of the mat remains in place. It can be reassembled for normal use, making it convenient for some students to use during dance teaching and practice.
[0057] Example 2
[0058] Referring to a portion of the structure in Embodiment 1, please refer to... Figure 7-8 Compared to the anti-seepage and odor-blocking layer 3 structure in Example 1, Example 2 improves the ease of assembly and disassembly.
[0059] As a further improvement of this embodiment 2, the edge of the anti-seepage and odor-blocking layer 3 is folded into the bottom edge of the anti-slip and adsorption layer 1 for edge binding, just like a fitted sheet. An elastic band 12, such as a rubber band, is set on the edge of the anti-seepage and odor-blocking layer 3 for edge binding. Together with the edge locking strip 6, the stability of the fit is enhanced and the layering is prevented from being scattered.
[0060] When using it, follow the same steps as in Example 1. Cleaning the outer layer is easier than in Example 1; simply pull the elastic band 12 outwards and then peel off the locking strip 6. However, the fit in the middle area is less pronounced, making it more suitable for students practicing small movements; users can choose to use it flexibly.
[0061] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
