[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0008] A floor drain comprises a drain section and a cover section nested within the drain section; the drain section matches the outline of the paving in a floor unit area; the area of the cover section is slightly smaller than that of the drain section, and the cover section includes a movable handle; the gap between the inner edge of the drain section and the outer edge of the cover section is a drainage area; a drain outlet is provided at a predetermined position at the bottom of the drain section; water flows through the drainage area into the drain section and flows away from the drain outlet.
[0009] Preferably, the paving material in the unit area is floor tiles.
[0010] Preferably, the area of the drainage section is slightly smaller than the area of the paving in the unit area.
[0011] Preferably, the depth of the drainage section is greater than the depth of the covering section.
[0012] Preferably, the preset position is the lowest point of the drainage section.
[0013] Preferably, the preset position is the center of the drainage section.
[0014] More preferably, the side of the cover away from the drainage part is a recessed area extending towards the drainage part, and the ground unit area paving is placed in the recessed area; the drainage part is equipped with multiple support members, and the cover is placed on the support members.
[0015] More preferably, the movable handle is mounted on the long side of the cover, and the movable handle can rotate along the long side of the cover. When the movable handle rotates along the long side of the cover, its trajectory passes through a first position and a second position. The first position is a position parallel to the long side of the cover, and the second position is a position perpendicular to the long side of the cover. When the movable handle is in the first position, it is hidden outside the long side of the cover.
[0016] Preferably, the external structure of the drainage section and the covering section is cuboid; the drainage outlet is a rectangular frame with a gap; multiple support members are installed around the perimeter of the drainage section, with two support members installed on each of the long sides and two support members installed on each of the short sides; the center of the drainage section is the lowest point of the drainage section, and the drainage outlet is circular; there is a pair of movable handles, which are installed on the long side of the covering section; when the movable handles rotate along the long side of the covering section, their trajectory passes through a first position and a second position, where the first position is parallel to the long side of the covering section and the second position is perpendicular to the long side of the covering section; wherein, when the movable handles are in the first position, the two movable handles are hidden outside the long side of the covering section, and when the two movable handles are rotated simultaneously in opposite directions to the second position, the two handles are perpendicular to the long side of the covering section.
[0017] Preferably, the external structure of the drainage section and the covering section is also in the form of a cube, a triangular prism or a cylinder; the side of the covering section away from the drainage section is a recessed area extending towards the drainage section, and the recessed area is filled with unit area paving material or filler material other than unit area paving material.
[0018] One or more technical solutions provided in this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:
[0019] The above technical solution employs a drainage section and a cover section nested within it; the drainage section matches the outline of the paving in the ground unit area; the cover section is slightly smaller than the drainage section and includes a movable handle; the gap between the inner edge of the drainage section and the outer edge of the cover section serves as a drainage outlet; and a drainage outlet is pre-positioned at the bottom of the drainage section. These technical measures ensure that water flows through the drainage outlet into the drainage section and exits through the drainage outlet. When blockages occur, the movable handle of the cover section can be pulled out, and the cover section can be removed by gripping the handle, exposing the drainage section for maintenance. This effectively solves the problem of inconvenient maintenance in existing technologies, thus achieving a convenient maintenance effect.
[0020] Furthermore, because the drainage section matches the outline of the floor paving in the unit area, during installation, one tile is left empty as the floor paving in the unit area. The drainage section is then installed, and the cover is then placed on top. Visually, the drain is consistent with the overall appearance of the floor paving in the unit area.
[0021] At the same time, as the water flows through the drain into the drainage section and then flows away from the drain outlet, the space of the drainage section can serve as a temporary buffer for the water flow to be carried away, preventing water from accumulating on the floor, reducing water accumulation on the floor, and helping to improve the technical effect of drainage.

Detailed Implementation
[0030] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding of this utility model, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0031] Existing floor drain technology typically involves drilling holes in the floor tiles and then installing the drain. This is inconvenient for both installation and maintenance. Furthermore, if the water flow rate is too high per unit time, it can lead to untimely drainage. In terms of external structure, existing floor drains are not compatible with the floor tiles and appear unsightly.
[0032] The technical solution of this application provides a floor drain that solves the problems of inconvenient installation and maintenance and unsightly appearance in the prior art. It includes a drainage section 100 and a covering section 200 nested within the drainage section 100; the drainage section 100 matches the outline of the paving 300 in the ground unit area; the area of the covering section 200 is slightly smaller than that of the drainage section 100, and the covering section 200 includes a movable handle 210; the gap between the inner edge of the drainage section 100 and the outer edge of the covering section 200 is the drainage point 400, which achieves the beneficial effects of easy installation, easy maintenance and coordination with the surrounding paving.
[0033] The overall concept of the implementation scheme of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0034] A floor drain comprises a drainage section 100 and a cover section 200 nested within the drainage section 100. The drainage section 100 matches the outline of the floor paving 300 in the floor unit area. The area of the cover section 200 is slightly smaller than that of the drainage section 100, and the cover section 200 includes a movable handle 210. The gap between the inner edge of the drainage section 100 and the outer edge of the cover section 200 forms a drainage outlet 400. A drain outlet 110 is provided at a preset position at the bottom of the drainage section 100, among other technical means. This allows water to flow through the drainage outlet 400 into the drainage section 100 and out through the drain outlet 110. When a blockage occurs, the movable handle 210 of the cover section 200 is pulled out, and the cover section 200 is removed by holding the handle, thus exposing the drainage section 100 for maintenance.
[0035] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0036] A type of floor drain, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the structure consists of a drainage section 100 and a covering section 200 nested within the drainage section 100; the drainage section 100 matches the outline of the paving 300 in the ground unit area; the area of the covering section 200 is slightly smaller than that of the drainage section 100, and the covering section 200 includes a movable handle 210; the gap between the inner edge of the drainage section 100 and the outer edge of the covering section 200 is a drainage outlet 400; a drainage outlet 110 is provided at a preset position at the bottom of the drainage section 100; water flows through the drainage outlet 400 into the drainage section 100 and flows away from the drainage outlet 110.
[0037] Specifically, the unit area is paved with floor tiles, and the covering part 200 also contains floor tiles that serve as the unit area paving material, so that the drain and the floor tiles are visually similar, creating a visually harmonious effect.
[0038] Specifically, the area of the drainage section 100 is slightly smaller than the area of the paving in the unit area, and the edge between it and the paving in the unit area can be sealed with adhesive.
[0039] The depth of the drainage section 100 is greater than the depth of the cover section 200. Water flows through the drain outlet 400 into the drainage section 100 and flows away from the drain outlet 110. This allows the space of the drainage section 100 (the space between the bottom plate of the drainage section 100 and the bottom of the cover section 200) to serve as a temporary buffer for the water flow to be discharged, preventing water from accumulating on the floor, reducing water accumulation on the floor, and helping to improve the technical effect of drainage.
[0040] Compared to traditional round floor drains, water on the floor tiles does not need to converge at the round opening to drain away. Instead, it is diverted to the perimeter of the cover 200 and flows away from the drain outlet 400. The rectangular or square shape of the drain outlet 400 increases the direction of drainage and avoids excessive water flow from concentrating in one location.
[0041] As a preferred option, the preset location is the lowest point of the drainage section 100.
[0042] As a more preferred option, the preset position is the center of the drainage section 100.
[0043] As a better option, such as Figure 2 As shown, the preset positions are the center of the drainage section 100 and the lowest point of the drainage section 100.
[0044] During maintenance, rotate the movable handle 210 along the long side of the cover 200, moving it from the first position 211 to the second position 212. Hold the handle 210 and remove the cover 200 to expose the drain section 100 for maintenance. After maintenance, hold the handle 210 and place the cover 200 back into the drain section 100, then rotate the handle 210 from the second position 212 back to the first position 211. This eliminates the need for prying tools, simplifying the maintenance process.
[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the side of the cover 200 away from the drainage section 100 is a recessed area 220 extending toward the drainage section 100, and the ground unit area paving 300 is placed in the recessed area 220; the drainage section 100 is equipped with multiple support members 120, and the cover 200 is placed on the support members 120.
[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, the movable handle 210 is mounted on the long side of the cover 200. The movable handle 210 can rotate along the long side of the cover 200. When the movable handle 210 rotates along the long side of the cover 200, its trajectory passes through a first position 211 and a second position 212. The first position 211 is a position parallel to the long side of the cover 200, and the second position 212 is a position perpendicular to the long side of the cover 200. When the movable handle 210 is in the first position 211, it is hidden outside the long side of the cover 200.
[0047] Floor drains can take on different shapes and structures to suit different scenarios, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the external structure of the drainage section 100 and the cover section 200 is cuboid; the drainage outlet 400 is a rectangular frame with gaps.
[0048] Multiple support members 120 are installed around the perimeter of the drainage section 100. Two support members 120 are installed on each of the long and short sides of the drainage section 100. The center of the drainage section 100 is the lowest point of the drainage section 100, and the drain outlet 110 is circular. There is a pair of movable handles 210, which are installed on the long side of the cover section 200. When the movable handles 210 rotate along the long side of the cover section 200, their trajectory passes through a first position 211 and a second position 212. The first position 211 is parallel to the long side of the cover section 200, and the second position 212 is perpendicular to the long side of the cover section 200. When the movable handles 210 are in the first position 211, the two movable handles 210 are hidden outside the long side of the cover section 200. When the two movable handles 210 are rotated simultaneously in opposite directions to the second position 212, the two handles are perpendicular to the long side of the cover section 200.
[0049] During maintenance, rotate the two movable handles 210 along the long side of the cover 200, moving the handles 210 from the first position 211 to the second position 212. Hold the two movable handles 210 to remove the cover 200, exposing the drain section 100 for maintenance. After maintenance, hold the two movable handles 210 to place the cover 200 back into the drain section 100, and rotate the two movable handles 210 from the second position 212 back to the first position 211. This eliminates the need for prying tools, simplifying the maintenance process.
[0050] The shape of the drain is not limited to a cuboid or a cube. The external structure of the drainage section 100 and the cover section 200 can also be a triangular prism or a cylinder. The side of the cover section 200 away from the drainage section 100 is a recessed area 220 extending in the direction of the drainage section 100. The recessed area 220 is filled with unit area paving or filler other than unit area paving.
[0051] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
