Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom waterproofing and decoration technology, and in particular to a waterproof floor tile structure for quick-drying bathrooms. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, their demands in areas such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation are also constantly increasing, primarily hoping to obtain a better living experience within the same value range. Nowadays, almost every family and individual owns one or more homes, and people have high requirements for their living conditions and environment. Therefore, they always pay extra attention to and strive for excellence in home decoration. The layout of the bathroom is particularly important in home decoration, especially waterproofing, which must be done well the first time. It's also crucial to ensure good drainage and quick-drying properties in the bathroom. Whether it's a wrong layout or inadequate waterproofing, it will bring many troubles to future life, and once the decoration is completed, it's very difficult to make changes. Many commercial hotels also pay great attention to the decoration of their in-room bathrooms, requiring not only good waterproofing structures but also floor tiles that can dry quickly to provide customers with a better consumption experience.
[0003] Most renovation companies still use relatively traditional waterproofing techniques for bathroom renovations. The general steps and methods are as follows: before laying floor tiles, the floor is cleaned and a leveling layer of cement mortar is applied. After the cement mortar is completely dry, a uniform waterproof layer is applied. After the waterproof layer is completely dry, a waterproofing test is conducted for at least 24 hours. Only after the waterproofing test is passed can the floor tiles be laid directly with cement mortar. To ensure that all water in the bathroom collects at the drain, the floor is sloped during tiling, and usually only one drain is provided. This method can provide good waterproofing, but it has some shortcomings that need improvement, such as: slow tile laying speed, significant differences in slope between tiles after laying, slow drainage during use, and slow drying of the tile surface after use. These problems must be properly addressed during the renovation process; otherwise, the cost of dealing with these issues after moving in is difficult to control.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a waterproof tile structure for quick-drying bathrooms. While retaining the advantages of existing waterproofing technologies, we have improved the waterproof structure and added a new tile structure. This makes tiling easier and faster while ensuring perfect waterproofing. It also reduces the slope difference between each tile, speeds up drainage, effectively reduces water retention on the tile surface, and accelerates the drying process. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a waterproof floor tile structure for quick-drying bathrooms, which more effectively solves the issues of slow tile laying speed, significant differences in slope between laid tiles, slow drainage during use, and slow surface drying of the tiles after use.
[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model proposes a waterproof floor tile structure for quick-drying bathrooms, including a customizable floor tile module. The main body of the customizable floor tile module is composed of multiple evenly distributed floor tile positioning grooves, and the floor tile positioning grooves are composed of multiple partitions and multiple side plates.
[0008] Furthermore, the partition is placed vertically around the limiting groove of the floor tile, forming a box shape. The lower edge of the partition is fixed at 90° to the edge of the side plate, and the lengths of the partition and side plate in the corresponding directions must be consistent.
[0009] Furthermore, the customizable floor tile module has multiple columns at the bottom, which are vertically fixed directly below the four corners of the floor tile positioning groove. Each column has an adjustable support at the bottom, and the adjustable support and the column are connected by a screw structure.
[0010] Furthermore, a water guide channel is reserved between the two tile positioning grooves. The width of the water guide channel is set to 10mm, and its direction is perpendicular to the drainage channel. The length of the drainage channel is consistent with the width of the customizable tile module. The width of the drainage channel is controlled between 60mm and 100mm, and the depth of the drainage channel is controlled between 5mm and 8mm.
[0011] Furthermore, multiple drain outlets are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the drainage trough. A drain pipe is installed directly below each drain outlet and buried at the bottom of the drainage trough. Each drain outlet is equipped with a hair filter. Comb separators are installed on both sides of each drain outlet and are parallel to the water guide channel. The upper edge of the drainage trough needs to be slightly lower than the upper surface of the floor tile, and the bottom surface of the drainage trough is slightly higher than the upper edge of the drain outlet.
[0012] Furthermore, each tile is laid in a tile positioning groove and is fixed to the upper leveling layer with tile adhesive. Adjustable supports are placed vertically on the upper surface of the waterproof protective membrane and fixed in the upper leveling layer. The upper leveling layer is followed by a waterproof protective membrane, a secondary waterproof layer, a lower leveling layer, and a primary waterproof layer, which are laid evenly on the building floor.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. The present invention proposes a waterproof floor tile structure for quick-drying bathrooms, which adopts customizable floor tile modules, which can speed up the tiling process, shorten the construction period, and ensure that the floor tiles are laid neatly and beautifully.
[0015] 2. The adjustable support allows for quick adjustment of the height of each tile, accurately finding the required slope of the ground and reducing the slope difference between each tile.
[0016] 3. By combining the water guide grooves and drainage grooves reserved in the customizable floor tile modules, the drainage speed is accelerated, effectively reducing the water retention on the floor tile surface and speeding up the drying speed of the floor tile surface.

[0022] To more clearly and completely illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will provide further details.
[0023] Please refer to Figure 1-4 This utility model proposes a waterproof floor tile structure for quick-drying bathrooms, including a customizable floor tile module 1. The customizable floor tile module 1 is characterized by: the main body of which consists of multiple evenly distributed floor tile positioning grooves 11; each floor tile positioning groove 11 has vertical partitions 12 around its perimeter; the lower edge of each partition has a side plate 14; the edge of the side plate 14 is perpendicularly fixed to the edge of the partition 12; a column 15 is vertically fixed directly below each of the four corners of each floor tile positioning groove 11; each column 15 has an adjustable support 16 at its bottom end; the adjustable support 16 is connected to the column 15 by a threaded structure; water guide grooves 13 are reserved between the floor tile positioning grooves 11; the size of the customizable floor tile module 1 is customizable; and the floor tile positioning grooves 11 are detachable.
[0024] Before the formal renovation and construction, the building floor 2 needs to be cleaned to ensure that there are no floating particles or pits on the surface. Then, the first waterproofing should be applied to the building floor 2. For the first waterproofing, a special waterproof coating can be applied evenly in 2-3 layers. After each layer is applied, it needs to be completely dry before applying the next layer. This waterproofing layer is called the first waterproofing layer 21. After the first waterproofing layer 21 is completely dry and formed, a 24-hour waterproofing test should be carried out as needed to ensure that the waterproofing is effective.
[0025] Because the building surface may be uneven, a leveling layer of cement mortar is needed on top of the primary waterproofing layer 21. This leveling layer also serves to protect the primary waterproofing layer 21. This leveling layer is called the lower leveling layer 22. After the lower leveling layer has completely dried and set, to ensure the long-term effectiveness of the waterproofing, a secondary waterproofing layer 23 needs to be evenly laid on top of it. The secondary waterproofing layer 23 requires 3-4 coats of a special waterproof coating. After each coat is completely dry, the next coat should be applied. After the secondary waterproofing layer 23 has completely dried and set, to protect it from construction damage, a waterproof protective membrane 24 needs to be laid on top of it. After completing the above steps, a second 24-hour waterproofing test is conducted to ensure the waterproofing is effective. Once the second waterproofing test passes, the customizable floor tile module 1 can be placed.
[0026] The adjustable support 16 is vertically placed on the waterproof protective membrane 24. After placement, the slope is determined. The slope is controlled by adjusting the height of the adjustable support 16 according to the actual drainage needs of the bathroom. It is necessary to ensure that the foot of each adjustable support 16 is effectively attached to the waterproof protective membrane 24. Then, cement mortar is used to make the upper leveling layer 25. The upper leveling layer 25 is evenly laid on the waterproof protective membrane 24. It is also necessary to note that the upper surface of the upper leveling layer 25 needs to be 2mm-4mm lower than the lowest bottom surface of the side plate (14). This is to leave enough space for the floor tile adhesive (26). The upper leveling layer 25 can completely bury the main body of the drain pipe 41, but it is necessary to ensure that the drain outlet 44 is completely exposed. The upper edge of the drain outlet 44 needs to be extended beyond the upper surface of the upper leveling layer 25 by a sufficient distance. It is recommended to reserve the height of the drain outlet 44 slightly higher than the height of the ground after laying, so as to ensure that the depth of the drainage channel 4 has enough adjustable space.
[0027] After the leveling layer 25 has completely dried and set, start from the lowest tile groove 11 and pour a layer of tile adhesive 26 into the highest tile groove 11. After the lower tile groove 11 is filled with enough tile adhesive 26, lay the tile 3. Then pour tile adhesive 26 into the higher tile groove 11 and lay the tile 3 again. Continue in this order until all the tiles 3 are laid. During the laying process, it is necessary to ensure that each tile 3 is filled with enough tile adhesive 26 between itself and the leveling layer 25 to ensure that the tiles 3 are laid more firmly.
[0028] While laying the floor tiles 3, the required drainage channel 4 needs to be reserved according to the design. The width of the drainage channel 4 is set between 60mm and 100mm, and the depth is set between 5mm and 8mm. The upper edge of the drainage channel 4 is slightly lower than the upper surface of the floor tile 3, and the bottom surface of the drainage channel 4 is slightly higher than the upper edge of the drain outlet 44. The length of the drainage channel 4 is consistent with the width of the entire customizable floor tile module 1. The water guide channel 13 is perpendicular to the drainage channel 4. The width of the water guide channel 13 is set to 10mm, and the distance between the bottom surface of the water guide channel 13 and the upper surface of the laid floor tile 3 is controlled within the range of 4mm-5mm. The function of the water guide channel 13 is to quickly guide the water flow to the drainage channel. The height of the partition 12 is less than the thickness of the selected floor tile 3. The waterproof floor tile structure also includes the drain outlet 44, the drainage channel 4, and the floor tile 3, and their positions are arranged in a stepped manner with increasing height.
[0029] After all the floor tiles 3 are firmly fixed, apply a layer of anti-slip film to the surface of the floor tiles 3 to effectively prevent slipping during bathing. Install a hair filter 43 on each drain outlet 44. Place a comb separator 42 on both sides of each drain outlet 44, parallel to the direction of the water guide trough 13. The main function is to prevent hair and other foreign objects from accumulating and clogging the drain outlet 44, affecting the drainage speed and effect. The hair filter 43 and the comb separator 42 are designed to be detachable for easy cleaning and replacement later.
[0030] In this embodiment, by using a waterproof tile structure for quick-drying bathrooms, the laying speed of tiles is accelerated while ensuring perfect waterproof performance, reducing the slope difference between tiles after laying, and speeding up drainage. This shortens the construction cycle and also speeds up the drying speed of the bathroom tile surface.
[0031] Of course, there may be other implementations of this utility model. Based on this implementation, other implementations obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model.
