Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic running track technology, specifically to a plastic running track that facilitates drainage. Background Technology
[0002] As is well known, synthetic running tracks, also known as all-weather athletic tracks, have the characteristics of good flatness, high compressive strength, appropriate hardness and elasticity, and stable physical properties. They are conducive to the performance of athletes' speed and skills, effectively improving athletic performance and reducing the rate of falls and injuries. To facilitate drainage, synthetic running tracks are equipped with drainage outlets at the edges, allowing rainwater to flow into underground pipes through the drainage holes.
[0003] The existing drainage system for plastic running tracks has certain defects. Its drainage holes are directly connected to underground pipes, which makes it inconvenient to filter rainwater. Under such circumstances, external garbage and debris can easily enter the underground pipes directly through the drainage holes. Over time, these debris accumulate and can easily cause blockages in the underground pipes. Once the pipes are blocked, rainwater on the plastic running track cannot be drained into the underground pipes in a timely and smooth manner, which leads to water accumulation on the track and affects normal use.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 A type of plastic running track with convenient drainage includes a body 1, a drainage channel 2, and a filtering mechanism 3. The drainage channel 2 is formed on the body 1 and penetrates through the body 1. The filtering mechanism 3 includes a support frame 4, a filter frame 5, a fixing block 6, a cylinder 7, a square block 8, a support plate 9, a slot 10, a sealing plate 11, and drainage holes 12. The support frame 4 is disposed on the inner wall of the drainage channel 2. The filter frame 5 extends into the drainage channel 2, and the bottom of the filter frame 5 contacts the top of the support frame 4. The fixing block 6 is disposed at the bottom of the filter frame 5, and one end of the cylinder 7 extends into the fixing block 6. The other end of the cylinder 7 is connected to one end of the block 8. The other end of the block 8 extends into the inner wall of the drainage channel 2. The fixing block 6 has a circular groove inside that matches the cylinder 7. The inner wall of the drainage channel 2 has a groove that matches the block 8. The slot 10 is formed on the support plate 9. The sealing plate 11 is welded to the support plate 9. The drainage hole 12 is formed on the sealing plate 11. The internal material of the body 1 includes a surface layer 13, an elastic layer 14, and a base layer 15. One end of the surface layer 13 is connected to one end of the elastic layer 14, and the other end of the elastic layer 14 is connected to the base layer 15.
[0023] Working principle: such as Figure 1 As shown, when installing the plastic track drainage system, the sealing plate 11 is precisely placed on top of the drainage channel 2. The sealing plate 11 is carefully designed and manufactured, and its size is precisely matched with the drainage channel 2. It can be tightly and firmly embedded in the drainage channel 2. After installation, the surface of the sealing plate 11 is perfectly flush with the surface of the drainage channel 2. This design not only ensures the overall aesthetics, but also avoids safety hazards such as tripping over pedestrians that may be caused by the sealing plate not being flush with the surface of the channel.
[0024] Once the sealing plate 11 is installed in place, the supporting plate 9 connected to it will extend into the drainage channel 2. The position of the supporting plate 9 is cleverly designed so that it fits tightly against one side of the block 8. This tight fit is crucial. At the same time, the slot 10 on the supporting plate 9 passes through the cylinder 7. This structural design creates a stable limiting mechanism between the supporting plate 9 and the block 8. It is through this fit between the supporting plate 9 and the block 8 that the movement of the block 8 and the cylinder 7 is effectively restricted, thereby ensuring that the filtration mechanism can work stably and providing a reliable foundation for the subsequent drainage filtration process.
[0025] The main body 1 uses a standard plastic running track available on the market. Given its widespread use and commonality, its specific structure will not be described in detail here. During normal drainage, rainwater first flows into the drainage channel 2 through the evenly distributed drainage holes 12 on the sealing plate 11. The design of these drainage holes 12 fully considers the needs of drainage efficiency and debris filtration. Their size and number have been reasonably calculated to ensure rapid rainwater inflow while also initially blocking larger particles of debris to a certain extent. After flowing into the drainage channel 2, the rainwater then enters the filter frame 5. As the core filtration component of the entire drainage system, the filter frame 5 plays a crucial role. Its function is to effectively intercept various debris and impurities carried in rainwater, such as leaves, mud, and pebbles, using special filter materials and structural design. After being filtered by the filter frame 5, the pure rainwater can pass smoothly into the underground pipe, thus completing the entire drainage process. During this process, the filter mechanism 3 continuously plays a highly efficient filtering role, effectively preventing debris and impurities from being discharged into the underground pipe with the rainwater. This prevents the underground pipe from being blocked due to the accumulation of debris, thereby effectively ensuring the normal drainage function of the main body 1 and ensuring that the plastic track can maintain a good working condition even in rainy weather.
[0026] The filter frame 5 is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant filter material. Its mesh size is precisely calculated to effectively intercept debris such as leaves, mud, and small stones in rainwater. The filter has a multi-layered, interwoven structure, which not only increases the filtration area but also improves the filtration accuracy, ensuring that the filtered rainwater is purer and effectively preventing debris from entering underground pipes.
[0027] Disassembly Procedure: When the filter frame 5 accumulates excessive particulate matter during long-term use, affecting its filtration effect and drainage efficiency, it needs to be cleaned. First, the worker should firmly grasp the area around the drain hole 12 on the sealing plate 11. The emphasis on grasping the area around the drain hole ensures stable force application and avoids potential damage to the sealing plate caused by directly grasping the drain hole. Then, the worker should lift the sealing plate 11 upwards. During this process, because the sealing plate 11 and the support plate 9 are tightly connected through a specific connection method, the upward movement of the sealing plate 11 will cause the support plate 9 to move along with it, gradually separating the support plate 9 from the block 8. This connection method is reasonably designed, ensuring that the two can work together during normal use and facilitating easy separation when disassembly is needed. Next, after the support plate 9 separates from the block 8, the worker pushes the block 8. The movement of the block 8 causes the cylinder 7 connected to it to move. The cylinder 7 moves along the circular groove on the fixing block 6 and eventually retracts into the circular groove. When the cylinder 7 is completely retracted into the circular groove, the block 8 will also completely separate from the groove on the inner wall of the drainage channel 2. This series of components is cleverly designed, and the movement of each component is closely related to ensure the smooth disassembly process. Finally, after completing the above steps, the worker holds the fixing block 6 and pulls it upwards again. At this time, since the cylinder 7 has retracted into the circular groove and the block 8 has also separated from the groove, the connection between the filter frame 5 and the support frame 4 is released. The worker can then easily separate the filter frame 5 from the support frame 4, thus smoothly removing the filter frame 5 for easy cleaning.
[0028] When lifting the filter frame 5, special care should be taken to prevent debris from falling off the filter frame 5. If this debris falls onto the track, it will not only affect the cleanliness of the track, but may also cause inconvenience to subsequent use, such as causing pedestrians to slip and fall. If there is too much debris in the filter frame 5, some of it can be cleaned off with external tools such as clips. The selection of these external tools should be based on the type of debris and the actual situation. The specific operation method will not be explained in detail here, mainly because it will vary depending on the actual situation of the debris.
[0029] Furthermore, the filter mechanism 3 in this structure is carefully designed and made of high-strength materials. Even in special circumstances, such as when a person accidentally steps on the sealing plate 11, the filter mechanism 3 will not break or be damaged. This feature not only ensures the service life of the filter mechanism, but also ensures that it can work continuously and stably in various complex environments. When lifting the sealing plate 11 and the filter frame 5, if the weight is too great due to too much debris, or if the on-site operating space is limited, making the operation difficult, multiple workers can be arranged to work together. This can effectively avoid the situation where one worker is unable to complete the operation due to insufficient strength, improve work efficiency, and ensure that the disassembly and cleaning work is carried out safely and smoothly.
[0030] In this embodiment, the surface layer 13 of the plastic running track is made of EPDM material. By mixing EPDM particles with adhesive and laying them, the porosity is precisely controlled at 15%-25%. This porosity design creates favorable conditions for rainwater to quickly penetrate the surface layer 13, ensuring that water on the surface of the track can quickly infiltrate, reducing the risk of slipping due to water accumulation, and ensuring the safety of users.
[0031] In this embodiment, the elastic layer 14 is made of polyurethane elastomer and manufactured using a foaming process to maintain a porosity of 20%-35%. This porosity range not only gives the elastic layer 14 good elastic cushioning performance, effectively reducing the impact on the joints of athletes during running and protecting their bodies, but also provides a smooth channel for rainwater to permeate from the surface layer 13, allowing it to smoothly enter the base layer 15 and further improve the overall drainage capacity of the track.
[0032] In this embodiment, the base layer 15 is constructed using cement-stabilized crushed stone. During construction, through reasonable gradation design and construction technology, the porosity is strictly controlled at 10%-20%. This porosity ensures that the base layer 15 has sufficient strength to bear the weight of the track, personnel, and equipment, while also allowing rainwater to quickly drain out of the track structure through the pores after penetrating the base layer 15, avoiding damage to the track foundation due to water accumulation and extending the service life of the track.
[0033] To improve drainage efficiency, in this embodiment, the drainage hole 12 is provided with several holes.
[0034] To improve the connection effect, in this embodiment, the support frame 4 is welded to the inner wall of the drainage channel 2.
[0035] The dimensions and shapes of all components in this structure are not specifically limited here and need to be produced according to the actual situation.
[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
