[0018] The shower area floor structure of this utility model includes a floor, walls, a backfill layer, a waterproof layer, a waterproof protective layer, a finishing layer, a water channel, and floor drains. The walls surround the sides of the floor. Then, from bottom to top, the floor is laid with the backfill layer, waterproof layer, waterproof protective layer, adhesive layer, and finishing layer, with the upper surface of the floor being a sloping structure starting from the backfill layer. The water channel is located at the bottom of the sloping structure, close to the bottom of the walls. Floor drains are installed at both ends of the water channel, and both drains are connected to the drain pipe below them. Based on this shower area floor structure, the water channel is only located at the bottom of the sloping structure; no other water channels are installed elsewhere. This solves the problem of uneven shower area floors, which can easily cause the elderly, children, and people with disabilities to twist their ankles or even trip, posing a safety hazard. In addition, floor drains are installed at both ends of the water channel, increasing the drainage capacity of the channel. This not only solves the problem of insufficient drainage and frequent flooding when using a high-flow showerhead due to a single drain outlet, but also addresses the issue of hair clogging a single drain outlet. Furthermore, these dual floor drains also eliminate the problems of high cost and inconvenience in cleaning hair associated with long, narrow floor drains.
[0019] In addition, the backfill layer includes a filling layer and a leveling layer.

[0020] In addition, a waterproof protective layer is set on the waterproof layer. The finishing layer is attached to the waterproof protective layer through an adhesive layer. The waterproof layer can prevent water that seeps into the adhesive layer through the gaps in the finishing layer from seeping into the backfill layer and the lower part of the wall below, thus preventing water from seeping out of the shower area and preventing water leakage in the bathroom.
[0021] In addition, water that seeps into the waterproof protective layer and adhesive layer above will also seep along the slope into the drainage channel and be discharged. Therefore, the shower area floor will not be cold or damp.
[0022] Furthermore, the water channel is located at the bottom of the wall parallel to the wall where the shower head is installed, at the bottom of the sloping structure. This ensures that the water flowing from the shower head can quickly flow along the sloping structure into the water channel, while also ensuring that the ground below the shower head is relatively flat, avoiding safety hazards caused by uneven ground. Moreover, the bottom surface of the water channel is flat, eliminating the need for a slope and simplifying construction.
[0023] Furthermore, the drain pipe connected to the floor drain has a diameter of 75mm, and its cross-sectional area is 2.25 times that of the traditional shower area drain pipe, which further increases the drainage volume and makes the shower area drain faster. Attached Figure Description
[0024] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the shower area floor structure in an embodiment of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0025] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0026] <Example 1>
[0027] This shower area floor structure is suitable for use in bathroom floor structures, enabling water in the bathroom to be quickly drained into the community's drainage system.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the shower area floor structure includes a floor 10, a wall 20, a backfill layer 30, a waterproof layer 40, a waterproof protective layer 50, a finishing layer 60, a water channel 70, and a floor drain 80.
[0029] Floor 10 is the original floor structure of the shower area in the bathroom.
[0030] The wall 20 is constructed around the side of the floor 10.
[0031] The backfill layer 30 includes a filling layer and a leveling layer. The filling layer is a layer of lightweight aggregate concrete or foamed concrete, laid on the floor 10. The leveling layer is a layer of cement mortar commonly used in decoration and finishing, laid on top of the filling layer. After leveling with the leveling layer, the upper surface of the backfill layer 30 has a sloping structure with a slope of 1% to 3%. The highest point of the slope is on one side of the wall where the shower head is installed, and the lowest point is on one side of the wall where the water guide channel 70 is located. In this embodiment, the slope of the backfill layer 30 is 3%.
[0032] A waterproof layer 40 is attached above the backfill layer 30 and is composed of a water-repellent material. The thickness of the waterproof layer 30 is 3-5 mm. In this embodiment, the thickness of the waterproof layer 40 is 5 mm. This thickness does not affect the slope structure of the backfill layer 30, so the upper surface of the waterproof layer 40 remains a slope structure.
[0033] The waterproof protective layer 50 is made of neat cement slurry and is applied on top of the waterproof layer 40, with a thickness of 3-5 mm. In this embodiment, the thickness of the waterproof protective layer 50 is 5 mm, which protects the waterproof layer 40 and prevents damage to the waterproof layer 40 during subsequent construction.
[0034] The finishing layer 60 is adhered to the upper surface of the waterproof protective layer 50 via an adhesive layer 61. The adhesive layer 61 is made of ceramic tile adhesive and is 5-8 mm thick, adhering the finishing layer 60 to the upper surface of the waterproof protective layer 50. Because ceramic tile adhesive not only has strong adhesion but also higher initial tack than cement mortar, the finished layer 60 will not blister due to insufficient mortar application. In this embodiment, the thickness of the adhesive layer 61 is 8 mm.
[0035] The aforementioned layer structure will retain the sloping structure of the upper surface of the finishing layer after it is laid, allowing water to flow quickly to the bottom of the slope.
[0036] The water guide channel 70 is only installed at the bottom of the slope structure, located at the bottom of the wall 20 on the side parallel to the showerhead mounting surface, and its upper surface is flat. The width of the water guide channel 70 is 100mm and the depth is 8~10mm. In this embodiment, the depth of the water guide channel 70 is 10mm.
[0037] There are two floor drains 80, located at both ends of the water guide trough 70, connected to external drain pipes with a diameter of 75mm. This makes the cross-sectional area of the drain pipe 2.25 times that of a traditional 50mm diameter drain pipe, and the addition of floor drains 80 increases the drainage capacity of the shower area.
[0038] <Example 2>
[0039] This shower area floor structure is suitable for use in bathroom floor structures, enabling water in the bathroom to be quickly drained into the community's drainage system.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the shower area floor structure includes a floor 10, a wall 20, a backfill layer 30, a waterproof layer 40, a waterproof protective layer 50, a finishing layer 60, a water channel 70, and a floor drain 80.
[0041] Floor 10 is the original floor structure of the shower area in the bathroom.
[0042] The wall 20 is constructed around the side of the floor 10.
[0043] The backfill layer 30 includes a filling layer and a leveling layer. The filling layer is a layer of lightweight aggregate concrete or foamed concrete, laid on the floor 10. The leveling layer is a layer of cement mortar commonly used in decoration and finishing, laid on top of the filling layer. After leveling with the leveling layer, the upper surface of the backfill layer 30 has a sloping structure with a slope of 1% to 3%. The highest point of the slope is on one side of the wall where the shower head is installed, and the lowest point is on one side of the wall where the water guide channel 70 is located. In this embodiment, the slope of the backfill layer 30 is 2%.
[0044] A waterproof layer 40 is attached above the backfill layer 30 and is composed of a water-repellent material. The thickness of the waterproof layer 30 is 3-5 mm. In this embodiment, the thickness of the waterproof layer 40 is 4 mm. This thickness does not affect the slope structure of the backfill layer 30, so the upper surface of the waterproof layer 40 remains a slope structure.
[0045] The waterproof protective layer 50 is made of neat cement slurry and is applied on top of the waterproof layer 40, with a thickness of 3-5 mm. In this embodiment, the thickness of the waterproof protective layer 50 is 4 mm, protecting the waterproof layer 40 and preventing damage to the waterproof layer 40 during subsequent construction.
[0046] The finishing layer 60 is adhered to the upper surface of the waterproof protective layer 50 via an adhesive layer 61. The adhesive layer 61 is made of ceramic tile adhesive and is 5-8 mm thick, adhering the finishing layer 60 to the upper surface of the waterproof protective layer 50. Because ceramic tile adhesive not only has strong adhesion but also higher initial tack than cement mortar, the adhered finishing layer 60 will not blister due to insufficient mortar application. In this embodiment, the thickness of the adhesive layer 61 is 6 mm.
[0047] The aforementioned layer structure will retain the sloping structure of the upper surface of the finishing layer after it is laid, allowing water to flow quickly to the bottom of the slope.
[0048] The water guide channel 70 is only located at the bottom of the slope structure, on the side of the wall 20 parallel to the showerhead mounting surface, and its upper surface is flat. The water guide channel 70 is 100mm wide and 8-10mm deep. In this embodiment, the water guide channel 70 is 8mm deep.
[0049] There are two floor drains 80, located at both ends of the water guide trough 70, connected to external drain pipes with a diameter of 75mm. This makes the cross-sectional area of the drain pipe 2.25 times that of a traditional 50mm diameter drain pipe, and the addition of floor drains 80 increases the drainage capacity of the shower area.
[0050] The shower area floor structure described in the above embodiment includes a floor, walls, a backfill layer, a waterproof layer, a waterproof protective layer, a finishing layer, a water channel, and floor drains. The walls surround the sides of the floor. Then, from bottom to top, the floor is laid with a backfill layer, a waterproof layer, a waterproof protective layer, an adhesive layer, and a finishing layer, with the upper surface of the floor being a sloping structure starting from the backfill layer. The water channel is located at the bottom of the sloping structure, close to the bottom of the walls. Floor drains are installed at both ends of the water channel, and both drains are connected to the drain pipes below them. Based on this shower area floor structure, the water channel is only located at the bottom of the sloping structure; no other water channels are installed elsewhere. This solves the problem of uneven shower area floors, which could easily cause the elderly, children, and people with disabilities to twist their ankles or trip, posing a safety hazard. In addition, floor drains are installed at both ends of the water channel, increasing the drainage capacity of the channel. This not only solves the problem of insufficient drainage and frequent flooding when using a high-flow showerhead due to a single drain outlet, but also addresses the issue of hair clogging a single drain outlet. Furthermore, these dual floor drains also eliminate the problems of high cost and inconvenience in cleaning hair associated with long, narrow floor drains.
[0051] In addition, the backfill layer includes a filling layer and a leveling layer. The filling layer is a layer of lightweight aggregate concrete or foamed concrete, and the leveling layer is a layer of cement mortar. The filling layer forms a dense and flat base layer, providing a slope foundation for the subsequent waterproofing layer and the upper layer structure.
[0052] In addition, a waterproof protective layer is set on the waterproof layer. The finishing layer is attached to the waterproof protective layer through an adhesive layer. The waterproof layer can prevent water that seeps into the adhesive layer through the gaps in the finishing layer from seeping into the backfill layer and the lower part of the wall below, thus preventing water from seeping out of the shower area and preventing water leakage in the bathroom.
[0053] In addition, water that seeps into the waterproof protective layer and adhesive layer above will also seep along the slope into the drainage channel and be discharged. Therefore, the shower area floor will not be cold or damp.
[0054] Furthermore, the water channel is located at the bottom of the wall parallel to the wall where the shower head is installed, at the bottom of the sloping structure. This ensures that the water flowing from the shower head can quickly flow along the sloping structure into the water channel, while also ensuring that the ground below the shower head is relatively flat, avoiding safety hazards caused by uneven ground. Moreover, the bottom surface of the water channel is flat, eliminating the need for a slope and simplifying construction.
[0055] Furthermore, the drain pipe connected to the floor drain has a diameter of 75mm, and its cross-sectional area is 2.25 times that of the traditional shower area drain pipe, which further increases the drainage volume and makes the shower area drain faster.
[0056] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Therefore, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this application and their equivalents, this application also intends to include such modifications and variations.
