Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of building material processing, in particular to a waterproof footboard for a shower room. Background Art
[0002] In modern home bathroom design, shower room has become an important functional facility. Shower room can not only provide an independent bathing space to prevent water splashing, but also improve the overall aesthetics of the bathroom. However, with the popularity of shower room, its waterproof effect and cleaning and maintenance problems have gradually emerged, especially the waterproof design of the bottom of the shower room has many shortcomings in practical application.
[0003] The shower room waterproof pedal in the prior art is usually composed of a bottom plate and water retaining edges arranged around, and these water retaining edges are mostly designed at right angles. Although this design can theoretically prevent water from overflowing, it has obvious defects in actual use.
[0004] 1. Cleaning difficulties caused by right-angle design: Due to the right-angle design between the water retaining edge and the bottom plate, dirt, soap scum and other debris generated during bathing are easily accumulated, especially at these right angles. These dead corners are not only difficult to clean, but also easy to breed bacteria. Long-term accumulation will affect the sanitary environment and even threaten the health of users.
[0005] 2. A hotbed for bacteria: The bathroom environment is humid, and there are dead corners for cleaning, making these areas a hotbed for bacteria and mold. This not only affects the hygiene of the bathroom, but also produces odor, affecting the user experience.
[0006] 3. Difference in material expansion coefficient: Due to the different materials, the thermal expansion coefficients of the shower room's water retaining edge and bottom plate and wall tiles are different. In daily use, the shower room frequently experiences thermal expansion and contraction, which can easily cause tiny cracks in these parts and create the risk of water leakage.
[0007] 4. Long-term erosion leads to water seepage: Chemical substances in the bath water, such as soap and shampoo, constantly erode the joints between the water retaining edge and the bottom plate and wall tiles. Over time, these tiny cracks will gradually expand, eventually leading to water seepage problems, seriously affecting the waterproof performance of the shower room.
[0008] 5. High maintenance cost: Water seepage will not only damage the structure of the shower room, but also cause moisture and damage to the bathroom floor and walls, requiring frequent maintenance and repairs, which increases the user's cost and trouble, so it is necessary to make further improvements. Utility Model Content
[0009] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a shower room waterproof pedal with a simple structure and easy use, which can effectively solve the sanitary dead corners and water seepage problems in the existing technology, improve the waterproof effect and service life of the shower room, and reduce the maintenance cost of users.
[0010] The purpose of the utility model is achieved in the following way: a waterproof pedal for a shower room, which includes a bottom plate, water retaining strips are installed around the bottom plate, the water retaining strips and the bottom plate are combined to form a bathing area, the cross-section of the water retaining strip is in the shape of a right-angled trapezoid, the upper bottom width of the water retaining strip is smaller than the lower bottom width, the oblique waist of the water retaining strip is arranged toward the bathing area, the junction between the lower bottom and the straight waist of the water retaining strip is chamfered, the chamfer is filled with a sealing member and then installed for use, so that the sealing member seals the gap between the wall tile and the water retaining strip and the bottom plate.
[0011] Furthermore: the bottom plate and water retaining strip are both made of rock slabs.
[0012] Furthermore, the water retaining strip is fixed to the bottom plate as a whole by means of marble glue.
[0013] Furthermore, epoxy colored sand is filled in the external angles between the water retaining strip and the bottom plate, and between the water retaining strip and the wall tiles for caulking treatment.
[0014] Furthermore: the sealing element is silicone glue.
[0015] Furthermore: the sealing element is a TPE rubber strip.
[0016] Furthermore: the bottom plate is provided with a plurality of anti-slip strips protruding from its upper end surface.
[0017] The beneficial effects of the utility model are: 1. Simple structure, low production cost and improved market competitiveness.
[0018] 2. The cross section of the water retaining strip in the present invention is designed to be a right-angled trapezoid, with the waist facing the bathing area. This design avoids the sanitary dead corner problem that is easily generated by the traditional right-angle design. During bathing, water and debris will not accumulate at the junction of the water retaining strip and the bottom plate, making cleaning more convenient and eliminating the possibility of bacterial growth.
[0019] 3. The intersection of the bottom of the water retaining strip and the straight waist is chamfered and filled with seals before installation. The chamfer design not only provides sufficient deformation space for the installation of the seal, but also enables the seal to maintain good elasticity after installation, thus ensuring its sealing effect.
[0020] 4. Fill the chamfer with sealants so that the sealants can effectively seal the gaps between the wall tiles, the water retaining strips and the bottom plate. This design, combined with the caulking of the external corners, enables the sealants to play a secondary waterproofing role, greatly improving the waterproof performance and preventing moisture from leaking to the outside through these gaps.
[0021] 5. The base plate and water retaining strip are made of rock slabs. The rock slab material has excellent waterproofness and corrosion resistance, can maintain good waterproof effect for a long time, and is not easily corroded by moisture and chemicals. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] Figure 2 It is a top view of the structure of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A shower room waterproof pedal comprises a bottom plate 1, a water retaining strip 2 is installed around the bottom plate 1, the water retaining strip 2 and the bottom plate 1 together form a bathing area 3, the cross section of the water retaining strip 2 is a right-angled trapezoid, the width of the upper bottom 21 of the water retaining strip 2 is smaller than the width of the lower bottom 22, the oblique waist 23 of the water retaining strip 2 is arranged toward the bathing area 3, the junction of the lower bottom 22 and the straight waist 24 of the water retaining strip 2 is beveled with a chamfer 25, the chamfer 25 is filled with a seal 4 and then installed for use, so that the seal 4 seals the gap between the wall tile 5 and the water retaining strip 2 and the bottom plate 1.
[0025] In one of the embodiments: the bottom plate 1 and the water retaining strip 2 are both made of rock slabs.
[0026] In one embodiment, the water retaining strip 2 is adhered and fixed to the bottom plate 1 as a whole by marble glue 6 .
[0027] In one of the embodiments: the external angles between the water retaining strip 2 and the bottom plate 1, and the external angles between the water retaining strip 2 and the wall tiles 5 are filled with epoxy colored sand 7 for caulking treatment.
[0028] In one embodiment, the sealing member 4 is made of silicone glue.
[0029] In one embodiment, the sealing member 4 is a TPE rubber strip.
[0030] In one of the embodiments: the bottom plate is provided with a plurality of anti-slip strips protruding from its upper end surface.
[0031] Working principle: In this case, the bottom plate 1 is the main part of the shower room waterproof pedal, and water retaining strips 2 are installed around it. The water retaining strips and the bottom plate together form a closed bathing area 3. The cross section of the water retaining strip 2 is designed to be a right-angled trapezoid, the width of the upper bottom 21 is smaller than the lower bottom 22, and the oblique waist 23 is arranged toward the bathing area 3. The water retaining strip designed in this way can effectively guide the water flow inward and prevent the water flow from overflowing the bathing area.
[0032] The intersection of the lower bottom 22 of the water retaining strip 2 and the straight waist 24 is beveled with a chamfer 25, and the chamfer is filled with a seal 4 before installation. The chamfer design increases the contact area between the seal and the base plate of the water retaining strip. At the same time, the chamfer design can also provide enough space for the seal, so that the cross-sectional area of the seal can be larger, ensuring the deformation base of the seal.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the shape and combination of the base plate and the water retaining strip in this case are completed by the manufacturer, and the water retaining strip is mainly fixed to the base plate with marble glue. Then the whole is transported to the site for installation. During on-site installation, it is necessary to use a cement mortar layer to level the ground to provide a suitable foundation for the installation of the base plate. Then, after installing the seal in the chamfer, the pedal is embedded in the bathroom floor as a whole. After the pedal is installed, the seal can effectively fill the gap between the wall tile 5 and the water retaining strip 2, and between the water retaining strip and the base plate 1, forming a good sealing effect to prevent moisture penetration.
[0034] After installation, epoxy colored sand 7 is filled in the external angle between the water retaining strip 2 and the bottom plate 1, and the external angle between the water retaining strip 2 and the wall tile 5 for caulking. Epoxy colored sand has good waterproof and adhesive properties, which can effectively prevent water from leaking through these joints, playing a primary waterproof role. The installed seal can simultaneously seal the gap between the water retaining strip and the bottom plate, and the gap between the water retaining strip and the wall tile, playing a secondary waterproof role.
[0035] Among them, the sealing material has multiple functional options: according to different usage requirements, the seal 4 can be made of silicone glue or TPE rubber strip. Silicone glue has excellent high and low temperature resistance and elasticity, and can maintain a good sealing effect in various environments; TPE rubber strip has good flexibility and elasticity, and is suitable for sealing requirements that require higher softness. No matter which sealing material is selected, it can ensure that the seal maintains good sealing performance during use and prevents moisture penetration.
[0036] Among them, a number of anti-slip strips 8 protruding from the upper end surface are evenly arranged on the bottom plate 1. These anti-slip strips can increase the friction of the bottom plate surface, prevent users from slipping when bathing, and thus improve the safety of the shower room. These anti-slip strips are evenly arranged to ensure the anti-slip effect of the entire bottom plate and provide stability for users when using it.
[0037] In summary, the waterproof pedal for a shower room of the present invention achieves the following technical effects through reasonable structural design.
[0038] 1. The right-angle trapezoidal design and chamfering treatment of the water retaining strip effectively guide the water flow, prevent water accumulation and dirt accumulation, and reduce sanitary dead corners.
[0039] 2. The seal is filled in the chamfer to ensure the close connection between the wall tiles, water retaining strips and baseboards to prevent moisture leakage.
[0040] 3. The stability and waterproof performance of the structure are further enhanced through the bonding of marble glue and the filling of epoxy colored sand.
[0041] 4. The anti-slip strips arranged on the bottom plate improve the safety of the shower room. These designs and material selections work together to ensure that the shower room waterproof pedal of the present invention has the advantages of excellent waterproof effect, easy cleaning and maintenance, long service life, etc. during actual use, so it can be widely promoted and used.
[0042] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. The technicians in this industry should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
