Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom technology, and in particular to a floor drain that can collect hair. Background Technology

[0002] Hair that falls from the human body is a major component of daily sanitary waste. With the use of water, hair often falls into places such as bathtubs, sinks, and floor drains. Hair that accumulates in the drains of bathtubs, sinks, and floor drains is not easy to clean. Some hair will always flow with the water into the corresponding sewer pipes, causing blockages over time and bringing great trouble to people's lives.

[0003] Floor drains, as an important interface connecting the drainage pipe system and the indoor floor, are an important component of the drainage system in a residence. The amount of hair deposited in floor drains is usually large and difficult to clean. Once the floor drain is blocked by hair, it will affect people's normal life.

[0004] To prevent hair from entering the pipes through the floor drain, current floor drains on the market use a filter with many pores to intercept hair. However, hair flows with the water and some gets stuck in the filter pores, making it difficult to clean and affecting the drainage flow of the floor drain.

[0005] In view of the above, the designer of this utility model designed this utility model. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a floor drain that can collect hair, which is convenient for cleaning hair and ensures the drainage flow of the floor drain.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following solution:

[0008] A floor drain capable of collecting hair includes: a floor drain body, a filter body, and a cover.

The side of the hair blocking member 21 away from the water outlet 01 of the filter body 2 forms a hair collection chamber 22; that is, the hair blocking member 21 is located between the cover 1 and the filter body 2. The hair blocking members 21 can be evenly spaced.

[0046] Therefore, this utility model has a structural design that sets a hair blocking component 21 at the outlet 01 near the filter body 2 in the water inlet channel and forms a hair collection chamber 22 on the side of the hair blocking component 21 away from the outlet 01 of the filter body 2. The cover 3 is detachably installed on the filter body 2, so that when water containing hair enters the water inlet channel, the hair will be blocked by the hair blocking component 21 in the hair collection chamber 22. The user can remove the hair in the hair collection chamber 22 by removing the cover 3 from the filter body 2, which makes it convenient to clean hair and ensures the drainage flow of the floor drain.

[0047] Preferably, to further ensure the drainage flow of the floor drain, the water inlet end 4 of the water inlet channel is formed between the outer edge of the cover 3 and the inner edge of the floor drain body 1. The top surface of the cover 3 is without holes and can be a rectangular plate. The water inlet end 4 is a complete ring of strip-shaped water inlet area. Therefore, the difference between this invention and existing floor drains is that the water inlet end 4 of this invention is a complete ring of strip-shaped water inlet area, while the water inlet end of existing floor drains is a filter hole. Compared to existing floor drains, the water inlet end 4 of this invention is less likely to trap hair.

[0048] Furthermore, to facilitate drainage, a support platform 11 is provided on at least one inner corner of the drain body 1, and the cover 3 is placed on the support platform 11.

In addition, support platforms 11 are provided on all four inner corners of the drain body 1 to provide stable support for the cover 3.

[0049] Furthermore, the drain body 1 includes a bottom wall and side walls, and the height of the cover 3 does not exceed the height of the side walls.

[0050] The lower surface of the cover 3 may also be provided with multiple spaced support feet 33 so as to form a water inlet channel between the cover 3, the filter body 2 and the drain body 1.

[0051] Next, in order to facilitate the manufacturing process, the hair blocking component 21 can be composed of at least one column, but is not limited to this; wherein, the columns can be arranged in a circular / elliptical array or other manner; the columns are arranged at intervals around the outlet of the filter body 1.

[0052] Furthermore, to facilitate the removal of the cover 3, the cover 3 and the filter body 2 can be connected by magnetic attraction.

[0053] Preferably, for ease of installation, the back of the cover 3 is provided with a slot 31, the slot 31 is provided with a first magnetic element 32, the filter body 2 is provided with a snap-in element 23, the snap-in element 23 is provided with a second magnetic element 24, the snap-in element 23 snaps into the corresponding slot 31, and the first magnetic element 32 and the second magnetic element 24 are magnetically attracted.

[0054] The cover 3 may include an upper cover 34 and a base 35. The upper cover 34 is located on the base 35. The base 35 and the upper cover 34 can be connected by mechanical structure or by bonding / welding. A first magnetic element 32 is installed between the base 35 and the upper cover 34. In other words, the first magnetic element 32 is provided on the slot 31. The slot 31 is provided on the base 35. The number of the first magnetic element 32 is greater than or equal to 1. The number of slots 31 is the same as the number of the first magnetic element 32. The support foot 33 is provided on the back of the base 35.

[0055] The insert 23 can be installed on the upper end of the column or made separately. In the embodiment, the insert 23 is installed on the upper end of several hair blocking members 21 (i.e., columns). The slot 31 is cylindrical with inward indentation around the perimeter, which is adapted to the circumference of the column.

[0056] Therefore, when there is a lot of hair left in the drain of this utility model, the cover 3 can be removed, and the filter body 2 will be removed from the drain body 1 together due to magnetic attraction. Then the two can be manually separated to clean the hair. Finally, after being magnetically reset, it can be put back into the drain body 1.

[0057] Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the water outlet pipe, the water outlet 01 of the drain body 1 is equipped with a water outlet connector 5.

[0058] Preferably, for ease of installation, the water outlet connector 5 is installed on the water outlet 01 of the drain body 1 by screwing; wherein, the top outer wall of the water outlet connector 5 is provided with a thread 02, the inner wall of the water outlet 01 of the drain body 1 is provided with a thread 02, and the thread 02 of the water outlet connector 5 is screwed into the thread 02 of the drain body 1.

When the impact force of the water flow on the flap 51 is sufficient to overcome the weight of the counterweight 522 and the repulsive force between the third magnetic element 521 and the fourth magnetic element 53, the flap 51 flips downward to drain water.

[0060] In addition, to prevent the flap 51 from rotating excessively, a downward-sloping guide surface 511 is formed on one end of the flap 51. A limiting block 54 is formed on the side wall opposite to the water outlet connector 5 and the third magnetic component 521. The bottom of the limiting block 54 has a downward-sloping guide surface 541 and an upward-sloping limiting surface 542. The adjacent ends of the guide surface 541 and the limiting surface 542 are connected together. When the flap 51 flips downward, the guide surface 511 moves along the guide surface 541 until it moves to fit against the limiting surface 542. The guide surface 511 is restricted by the limiting surface 542, and the flap 51 can no longer flip downward.

[0061] The limiting block 54 is fixedly installed in the chamber 52.

[0062] Furthermore, a pull ring 55 is provided on the top edge of the water outlet connector 5, which facilitates the installer to disassemble and assemble the water outlet connector 5 by holding the pull ring 55.
