[0002] The design and construction standards for biopharmaceutical cleanrooms are designed to strictly control the levels of airborne particles, microorganisms, and other contaminants, ensuring that the cleanroom meets specific cleanliness standards. In cleanroom environments, the design of drainage systems, especially floor drains, is crucial because they directly impact air quality and microbial contamination control.

[0003] Currently, the most common floor drain design uses a 304 stainless steel water-seal floor drain. This type of drain features a bell-shaped structure that snaps onto the drain outlet like a bowl, forming a U-shaped trap. The trap's "water seal" creates a seal. However, most water-seal floor drains have drainage holes in their covers, which can easily become pathways for odors, pests, fungi, and viruses to enter the cleanroom. Furthermore, these drains have poor self-cleaning capabilities and are prone to clogging, resulting in slow drainage and impacting the overall cleanroom environment. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0028] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a clean and sealed floor drain for a clean room includes a floor drain cover 1, a floor drain body 2 and a sealing ring 3. The top of the floor drain cover 1 is a cover plate 11, and the bottom of the cover plate 11 is provided with a floor drain neck 12; the cover plate 11 cooperates with the upper inner part of the floor drain body 2 and is placed in the floor drain body 2, the floor drain neck 12 cooperates with the lower inner part of the floor drain body 2 and is placed in the floor drain body 2, and a sealing ring 3 is provided between the floor drain neck 12 and the floor drain body 2; the floor drain body 2 is fixed to the ground, and the lower end is connected to a water pipe, and the water pipe is provided with a water trap.

[0030] The clean and sealed floor drain for a clean room described in the utility model has an upper end of the floor drain neck sealed by a cover plate, and a sealing ring is provided between the floor drain neck and the floor drain body, so that the floor drain cover and the floor drain body are tightly sealed, effectively preventing odors, fungi, viruses, etc. in the water stored in the water pipe from spreading into the clean room, and meeting the relevant requirements of GMP and FDA certification for pharmaceutical clean rooms.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the floor drain body 2 is hollow in design, the upper cross-section matching the cover plate 11 is a trapezoid with a wide top and a narrow bottom, and the lower section matching the floor drain neck 12 is cylindrical.

[0032] The inner wall of the floor drain body 2 is provided with a groove 21 for installing the sealing ring 3.

[0033] In actual use, the trapezoidal cross-section design of the upper portion of the floor drain body 2 helps to concentrate water flow, guide water flow more smoothly through the floor drain, reduce water stagnation at the floor drain, reduce the deposition of debris inside the floor drain, and thus reduce the possibility of blockage. The lower portion of the floor drain body 2 is cylindrical, and there is no other structure inside except the sealing ring 3 and the groove. If foreign matter enters, it is easy to clean, which is convenient for maintenance and cleaning work. At the same time, the cylindrical lower portion provides a regular interface for connecting the floor drain body to the drainage pipe.

[0034] In this embodiment, the clean and sealed floor drain itself does not have a water seal device, so when installing the floor drain, a maintenance-type water trap needs to be installed in the water pipe below the floor drain mother body 2 to achieve a water seal effect and prevent odor and fungi from the water pipe from spreading into the room when the floor drain cover 1 is opened.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sealing ring 3 is an O-ring, and the number is at least one.

[0036] In this embodiment, two O-rings are used. Their elastic deformation fills the gap between the drain neck 12 and the drain body 2, forming an effective seal that effectively prevents odors, fungi, viruses, and other contaminants from the water in the pipes from spreading into the cleanroom. The O-rings are made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or other high-temperature-resistant materials to minimize thermal expansion and contraction.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the height of the floor drain main body 2 is 300 mm higher than the floor of the clean room.

[0038] In actual use, the floor drain body 2 is 300mm higher than the floor slab to ensure that there is enough space to form a water seal, effectively preventing the escape of odors and harmful gases in the sewer, while also reducing the possibility of the water seal drying up and avoiding the upwelling of sewer odors caused by water seal failure. At the same time, the floor drain body 2 is higher than the floor slab by a certain height, which is conducive to the connection and installation of the drainage pipe and can provide more space for the layout and maintenance of the pipe.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cover plate 11 is matched with the upper part of the floor drain body 2, and the upper end surface of the cover plate 11 is a square structure.

[0040] The diagonal corners of the cover plate 11 are connected to the upper part of the floor drain body 2 by screws 4.

[0041] In actual use, the cover plate 11 is provided with a screw hole at each diagonal position, and the corresponding position of the floor drain main body 2 is also provided with a screw hole, so that the cover plate 11 is connected to the floor drain main body 2 by screws 4. The cover plate 11 is a closed cover plate, and there are no other drainage holes except the screw holes. This ensures the sealing between the cover plate and the floor drain main body, effectively preventing odor and harmful gases from flowing back from the drainage system to the clean room environment, and at the same time increases the stability of the cover plate. Even if the sewage and exhaust gas pressure in the pressurized drainage pipe is high, it is not easy to push the cover plate 11 open, thereby avoiding the leakage of pollutants caused by accidental opening of the cover plate 11.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the screw 4 is made of stainless steel.

[0043] In actual use, in this example, the screw 4 is a stainless steel cross screw. The hardness of the stainless steel screw is relatively low, and it does not need to be tightened too much each time it is used to prevent the screw head from being damaged.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the floor drain neck 12 is a hollow cylinder.

[0045] In actual use, the cover plate 11 and the floor drain neck 12 are designed as an integral whole. The floor drain neck 12 is a hollow cylinder, which helps to maintain an effective water seal, effectively isolate the odor and harmful gases in the sewer, and improve the indoor air quality.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the floor drain cover 1 and the floor drain body 2 are made of stainless steel plates.

[0047] In actual use, the material of the floor drain cover 1 and the floor drain body 2 is 304L stainless steel, and the inner and outer surfaces are mechanically polished. The smooth stainless steel surface reduces the accumulation of garbage and debris. If foreign matter enters the floor drain neck 12 and the floor drain body 2, it is easy to clean, making drainage smoother and less likely to cause blockage.

[0048] Working principle of clean and sealed floor drain for clean room:

[0049] When using the floor drain of the present invention, first use a screwdriver to remove the screw 4, then use a strong suction cup to suck the cover plate 11, and slowly raise the cover plate 11 and the floor drain neck 12. After drainage is completed, replace the floor drain cover 1, and slowly tighten the screw 4. The floor drain mainly relies on the O-ring between the floor drain neck 12 and the floor drain body 2 for sealing, so that no liquid remains after drainage (relative to a clean room environment). Maintenance only requires regular replacement of the O-ring and screws.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
