Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a hardware bathroom product, specifically a drain for a shower pedal. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of modern living standards, the bathroom, as a frequently used area in the home, is receiving increasing attention from consumers regarding its functionality and aesthetics. In the bathroom, a shower pedal is a common auxiliary device, primarily used to provide anti-slip support and guide water generated during showering into the drainage system. However, existing shower pedals have many shortcomings in design and use, making it difficult to fully meet user needs.

[0003] Most shower pedals on the market today use a traditional flat design. While this design is simpler to manufacture, it has significant drawbacks in practical use: due to the lack of a proper water flow guidance design, water generated during showering often stagnates on the pedal surface and cannot drain quickly into the drain. Especially with larger water volumes, water accumulation increases the user's cleaning workload and negatively impacts the user experience. Even though some designs improve drainage by adding rough textures or a slight slope to the pedal surface, the overall efficiency remains unsatisfactory.

[0004] Most existing shower sills require precise horizontal installation; otherwise, poor drainage or water accumulation may occur. This design demands high precision during installation, especially in bathrooms with uneven floors. Installers need to spend more time and effort adjusting the sill's angle to ensure proper alignment with the drain. This not only reduces installation efficiency but also increases difficulty and cost. Furthermore, ordinary consumers, lacking the necessary tools and skills, often struggle to ensure proper installation quality when attempting it themselves, leading to drainage problems later on.

[0005] To address the low drainage efficiency of traditional flat shower treads, some improved shower treads have emerged on the market. These treads feature grooves near the drain outlet to accelerate water flow. While this design does improve drainage efficiency to some extent, it also introduces new problems: due to the structural differences between the groove design on the tread surface and the drain interface, the drain surface is difficult to align with the tread surface, resulting in an overall aesthetically displeasing appearance. This inconsistency fails to meet the high aesthetic standards of modern consumers for bathroom fixtures. Furthermore, the grooved design makes it prone to accumulating dirt over long-term use, increasing cleaning difficulty.

[0006] Therefore, the existing structural design of shower pedals and floor drains lacks overall cohesion. The fit between the pedal and the drain mainly relies on simple mechanical nesting or installation methods, making it difficult to achieve unity in functionality and aesthetics. This design lacks comprehensive consideration of drainage efficiency, ease of installation, and visual harmony, resulting in an unsatisfactory user experience. Therefore, further improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a drainage floor drain for a shower pedal that is simple in structure, easy to use, can significantly improve drainage efficiency, ensure that the surface of the pedal is flush with the floor drain, enhance the overall aesthetics, and solve the problem of difficult cleaning of accumulated dirt in existing technologies, thereby better meeting consumers' needs for functionality and aesthetics.

[0008] The purpose of this utility model is achieved in the following way: a drain for a shower pedal, which includes a base, the upper surface of the base is a sloping surface that is higher at the back and lower at the front, the top of the base is recessed downward to form a receiving cavity, the bottom of the receiving cavity is provided with a drain outlet through the body, and a panel is installed inside the receiving cavity.

[0009] Furthermore: the bottom of the accommodating cavity is set parallel to the horizontal plane, and after the panel is installed, the upper surface of the panel is parallel to the horizontal plane, forming a trapezoidal water drop area between the upper surface of the panel and the upper end face of the base.

[0010] Furthermore: isolation platforms are provided at the four corners of the accommodating cavity, the outer contour of the panel is smaller than the inner contour of the accommodating cavity, a lower drainage area is formed between the panel and the bottom of the accommodating cavity, and a side drainage area is formed between the outer contour of the panel and the inner contour of the accommodating cavity.

[0011] Furthermore: the panel is a box-shaped body with a bottom and an open top, and a decorative panel is embedded inside the panel.

[0012] Furthermore: the isolation platform is positioned above the bottom of the accommodating cavity, and a downwardly recessed positioning step is provided on the end face of the isolation platform, with the four corners of the panel being secured within the positioning step.

[0013] Furthermore, an auxiliary support platform is also provided between the isolation platform and its adjacent isolation platform.

[0014] Furthermore, the panel is a mesh structure with drainage holes that are connected to the drain outlet.

[0015] Furthermore: the bottom of the accommodating cavity is set parallel to the horizontal plane, and after the panel is installed, the upper surface of the panel is flush with the upper end surface of the base.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Simple structure, low production cost, and improved market competitiveness.

[0017] 2. This utility model designs the drain with an inclined surface on its upper end, adjusted to the drainage surface, making the upper end of the drain flush with the drainage surface of the shower pedal. This design allows for natural water flow guidance during showering, avoiding water stagnation caused by a horizontal upper end of the drain, thus significantly improving drainage efficiency. Simultaneously, the inclined surface design aligns with the drainage direction of the shower pedal, ensuring smoother water flow, reducing water accumulation, and further enhancing the user experience.

[0018] 3. In the drain design of this utility model, a decorative panel can be embedded in the panel, and the decorative panel can be made of the same material or surface decoration process as the shower pedal. Through this consistent design, the drain and the shower pedal have a cleaner and more unified appearance, avoiding the abruptness caused by differences in materials, colors, or textures in traditional drains. This aesthetic design not only meets users' high aesthetic standards for bathroom equipment but also enhances the overall decorative effect of the bathroom environment.

[0019] 4. The drain design in this utility model adjusts the upper surface of the drain to match the inclination angle of the shower pedal's drainage surface, eliminating the need for strict adjustment of the drain's horizontal state during installation. This structural design reduces the technical requirements for installation personnel, significantly simplifies the installation process, and improves construction efficiency. Simultaneously, it avoids problems such as poor drainage or unsightly appearance caused by installation errors, further improving installation quality and effectiveness. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A drain for a shower pedal includes a base 1. The upper end surface 2 of the base 1 is a sloping surface that is higher at the back and lower at the front. The top of the base 1 is recessed downward to form a receiving cavity 3. The bottom of the receiving cavity 3 has a drain outlet 4 extending through its body. A panel 5 is installed inside the receiving cavity 3.

[0026] In one embodiment: the bottom of the accommodating cavity 3 is arranged parallel to the horizontal plane, and after the panel 5 is installed, the upper surface of the panel 5 is parallel to the horizontal plane, forming a trapezoidal water drop area 6 between the upper surface of the panel 5 and the upper end surface 2 of the base 1.

[0027] In one embodiment: an isolation platform 7 is provided at the four corners of the accommodating cavity 3, the outer contour of the panel 5 is smaller than the inner contour of the accommodating cavity 3, a lower drainage area 8 is formed between the panel 5 and the bottom of the accommodating cavity 3, and a side drainage area 9 is formed between the outer contour of the panel 5 and the inner contour of the accommodating cavity 3.

[0028] In one embodiment: the panel 5 is a box-shaped body with a bottom and an open top, and a decorative panel 10 is embedded inside the panel 5.

[0029] In one embodiment: the isolation platform 7 is positioned above the bottom of the accommodating cavity 3, and a downwardly recessed positioning step 11 is provided on the end face of the isolation platform 7, with the four corners of the panel 5 being fitted into the positioning step 11.

[0030] In one embodiment, an auxiliary support platform 12 is provided between the isolation platform 7 and its adjacent isolation platform 7.

[0031] In one embodiment: the panel 5 is a mesh structure with drainage holes that are connected to the drain outlet 4.

[0032] In one embodiment, the bottom of the accommodating cavity 3 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and after the panel 5 is installed, the upper surface of the panel 5 is flush with the upper end surface 2 of the base 1. This ensures that after the floor drain is installed, the panel is flush with the surface of the shower pedal, resulting in a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing finished surface.

[0033] Working principle: such as Figure 1 , 2As shown, to facilitate drainage of the shower pedal 13, the shower pedal, which is compatible with the floor drain, adopts a structure of five water guide plates 14 cut and spliced ​​together. A floor drain opening 16 is provided at the intersection of the five spliced ​​surfaces, and the floor drain is installed in the floor drain opening. In order to connect the upper surface of the floor drain with the spliced ​​surfaces, the upper surface of the floor drain base of this utility model is designed as an inclined surface structure (higher at the back and lower at the front) adjusted according to the drainage surface. When the shower pedal is installed on top of the floor drain, the drainage surface of the pedal matches the inclined upper surface of the floor drain, so that the water flow generated on the surface of the pedal can be naturally guided to the drain outlet of the floor drain.

[0034] Because the upper surface of the floor drain is aligned with the drainage direction, water can smoothly converge in the central area of ​​the floor drain and be quickly discharged through the drain outlet, avoiding the stagnation caused by water diffusion in traditional planar structure designs.

[0035] Furthermore, a trapezoidal drainage area, a bottom drainage area, and a side drainage area are designed between the receiving cavity and the panel, further optimizing the water discharge path and enhancing overall drainage efficiency. Simultaneously, the upper surface of the drain is flush with the drainage surface of the tread, allowing for more natural and smooth water flow and preventing water accumulation or stagnation. The trapezoidal drainage area and multi-layered drainage design significantly improve drainage efficiency, making it particularly suitable for showering scenarios with high water volumes.

[0036] Furthermore, this invention incorporates a decorative panel embedded within the drain panel. This decorative panel can be customized to match or resemble the shower treadmill in material, color, and texture, according to user requirements. For example, when the shower treadmill is made of slab stone, artificial stone, marble, or other special materials, the decorative panel can be made of the same material, resulting in a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing overall bathroom space and avoiding the jarring effect caused by differences in material or surface treatment in traditional drains.

[0037] Furthermore, by designing the upper surface of the drain as an inclined structure, this invention eliminates the need for strict adjustment of the drain's level with the ground during installation. The drainage surface of the shower pedal directly matches the inclined upper surface of the drain, ensuring smooth water flow.

[0038] Furthermore, the isolation platform and auxiliary support platform provide stable support for the panel, and the positioning steps precisely clamp the panel, allowing it to be stably installed inside the accommodating cavity without complex adjustments.

[0039] The auxiliary support platform not only enhances the stability of the structure, but also alleviates the loosening problem that may occur between the floor drain and the tread due to uneven force.

[0040] In addition, the drain's internal design, through the cavity and panel, creates multiple drainage zones, including a bottom drainage zone and a side drainage zone. The bottom drainage zone, located between the panel and the bottom of the cavity, directly directs water to the sewer system via a drain outlet, ensuring rapid drainage. The side drainage zone, located between the outer contour of the panel and the inner contour of the cavity, provides additional drainage channels, resulting in more even water distribution and more thorough drainage.

[0041] This multi-layered drainage structure not only improves drainage efficiency but also reduces the risk of blockage caused by a single drainage path. This multi-layered drainage path design ensures the high efficiency and stability of the drainage system, reducing the risk of blockage. At the same time, the uniform water flow distribution makes the entire drainage process smoother.

[0042] Furthermore, the panel in this invention adopts a box-shaped or mesh structure, and different forms can be selected according to different needs: when the panel is a box-shaped structure, a decorative panel is embedded inside, which can be removed for cleaning, avoiding hygiene problems caused by water stains or dirt during long-term use; when the panel is a mesh structure, water flows directly to the drain outlet through the drainage holes, and the surface of the mesh is easy to clean, further reducing the difficulty of cleaning. The removable decorative panel and open mesh design make cleaning and maintenance more convenient and extend the service life of the product.

[0043] In summary, this utility model, through its inclined upper drain design, multi-layered drainage paths, and flexible configuration of decorative panels, not only achieves efficient drainage, aesthetic appeal, and convenient installation, but also solves the problems of low drainage efficiency, high installation difficulty, and incompatibility between the drain and the tread in existing technologies. Its optimized structural design and flexible functional configuration make it widely applicable to modern bathroom environments, providing users with a more comfortable, convenient, and aesthetically pleasing experience.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
