Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of artificial turf, and in particular to a buoyancy-driven water-regulating artificial turf. Background Technology

[0002] Artificial turf, as a substitute for natural grass, is widely used in landscaping, sports fields, and other fields. However, traditional artificial turf installation often faces many technical challenges: on the one hand, the base layer requires high precision, needing to be flat and dry; otherwise, unevenness or water accumulation can easily occur, affecting the user experience and lifespan. On the other hand, the splicing process is complex; the use of traditional seam tape and adhesive is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but may also lead to cracking and detachment of the turf due to adhesive aging. Furthermore, dust and debris easily accumulate at the seams, increasing maintenance costs. In addition, some artificial turf lacks stability after installation, easily shifting under external pressure or temperature changes, affecting overall flatness. Improper drainage design can also lead to water accumulation during rain, further shortening the turf's lifespan. To solve these problems, the industry is constantly exploring more convenient installation technologies, such as developing glue-free splicing structures and optimizing base layer materials and drainage design, to improve the installation efficiency and performance of artificial turf.

[0003] Existing artificial turf technology collects rainwater by setting up water storage tanks and then drains the water through pipes to prevent water accumulation on the turf. However, in actual use, artificial turf needs a certain amount of moisture to make the texture softer. Draining all the water directly will cause the turf to dry out and harden, reducing comfort. Therefore, we propose a buoyancy-driven water volume regulating artificial turf. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a buoyancy-driven water-regulating artificial turf. By setting a buoyancy plate, water can be stored and drained according to the water volume in the water tank, thereby improving the turf's ability to regulate water.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A buoyancy-driven water-regulating artificial turf includes a support mechanism, a protective mechanism fixedly installed at the lower end of the support mechanism, and a water control mechanism fixedly connected to the lower end of the protective mechanism.

[0007] The water control mechanism includes a water storage tank. The inner side wall of the water storage tank has a movable groove, and both sides of the inner end of the water storage tank have locking slots. A drainage groove is formed on the outer side of the locking slots. A buoyancy plate is located on the inner side of the inner end of the water storage tank. A locking block is located at the lower end of the buoyancy plate. A support rod is connected through the inner end of the buoyancy plate. A pressure frame is located on the upper side of the buoyancy plate. Springs are located on both sides of the lower end of the pressure frame. A sealing strip is located at the lower end of the locking block. By setting up the buoyancy plate, the drainage groove can be automatically adjusted according to the water volume in the water storage tank, achieving automatic adjustment of water storage and drainage, improving the lawn's ability to regulate water, and making daily lawn management more convenient.

[0008] Furthermore, the protective mechanism includes a protective frame, the upper end of which is provided with a protective pad. By providing the protective pad, the internal water storage area is buffered and protected when the lawn is subjected to pressure during use, so that the moving parts in the water storage area are not easily damaged by external impacts, thereby improving the protective performance of the lawn during use.

[0009] Furthermore, the support mechanism includes a lawn mat, with a mesh screen at the upper center of the mat and artificial grass at the upper end of the mesh screen. By using the mesh screen for filtration, external impurities are less likely to enter the lawn and damage the water control device, thus improving the protective performance of the lawn during use.

[0010] Furthermore, the protective frame is fixedly installed at the lower end of the lawn mat. By setting the protective frame to be fixedly installed at the lower end of the lawn mat, the lawn mat is supported and the drainage components are protected, thereby improving the protective performance of the lawn during use.

[0011] Furthermore, the water storage tank is fixedly installed at the lower end of the protective frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the support rod is movably installed at the inner end of the movable groove, and the support rod is adapted to the movable groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the card slot has a trapezoidal structure with a large opening at the top and a small internal cross-section, and the card block has a rectangular structure. The card block is nested inside the card slot, and the card block is adapted to the card slot.

[0014] Furthermore, the protective pad is made of rubber and has a porous structure.

[0015] Furthermore, the lower end of the spring is fixedly connected to the buoyancy plate, and the spring is always in a compressed state.

[0016] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. By setting up a buoyancy plate, the drainage channel can be automatically adjusted according to the water volume in the water storage tank, thereby improving the lawn's ability to regulate water and making daily lawn management more convenient. By setting up a protective pad, the internal water storage area is buffered and protected when the lawn is subjected to pressure during use, so that the moving parts in the water storage area are not easily damaged by external impacts, thus improving the lawn's protective performance during use.

[0018] 2. By setting up a sieve for filtration, external impurities are less likely to enter the lawn and damage the water control device, thus improving the lawn's protective performance during use. By setting up a protective frame and fixing it to the bottom of the lawn mat, the lawn mat is supported and the drainage components are protected, further improving the lawn's protective performance during use.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "bottom surface," "top surface," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific part, respectively.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-5As shown, a buoyancy-driven water-regulating artificial turf in a preferred embodiment of this utility model includes a support mechanism 1, a protective mechanism 2 fixedly installed at the lower end of the support mechanism 1, and a water control mechanism 3 fixedly connected to the lower end of the protective mechanism 2.

[0028] The water control mechanism 3 includes a water storage tank 301. A movable groove 302 is provided on the inner side wall of the water storage tank 301. Slots 303 are provided on both sides of the inner end of the water storage tank 301. A drainage groove 304 is provided on the outer side of the slots 303. A buoyancy plate 305 is provided on the inner side of the inner end of the water storage tank 301. A locking block 306 is provided at the lower end of the buoyancy plate 305. A support rod 307 is connected through the inner end of the buoyancy plate 305. A pressure frame 308 is provided on the upper side of the buoyancy plate 305. Springs 30 are provided on both sides of the lower end of the pressure frame 308. 9. A sealing strip 310 is provided at the lower end of the locking block 306. The water storage tank 301 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the protective frame 201. The support rod 307 is movably installed at the inner end of the movable groove 302. The support rod 307 is adapted to the movable groove 302. The lower end of the spring 309 is fixedly connected to the buoyancy plate 305. The spring 309 is always in a compressed state. By setting the lower end of the spring 309 to be fixedly connected to the buoyancy plate 305, the spring 309 is always in a compressed state, providing pressure to the locking block 306 to make it easier to form a seal. This improves the device's ability to control moisture. By movably mounting a support rod 307 inside the movable groove 302, the buoyancy plate 305 moves upwards within the movable groove 302 when subjected to buoyancy from accumulated water. This limits the displacement of the buoyancy plate 305, allowing the locking block 306 to precisely align with the locking slot 303, thus improving the lawn's moisture control. The locking slot 303 has a trapezoidal structure with a large opening at the top and a small internal cross-section. The locking block 306 has a rectangular structure and is nested within the locking slot. The inner end of the groove 303 is fitted with a locking block 306. The groove 303 is designed as a trapezoidal structure with a large opening at the top and a small internal cross-section. The locking block 306 is a rectangular structure, which facilitates the sealing between the locking block 306 and the groove 303, improving the lawn's ability to control moisture. By setting a buoyancy plate 305, the drainage groove 304 can be drained according to the water volume in the water storage tank 301, realizing automatic adjustment of water storage and drainage, improving the lawn's ability to regulate moisture, and making the daily management of the lawn more convenient.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-3As shown, the protective mechanism 2 includes a protective frame 201, and a protective pad 202 is provided at the upper end of the protective frame 201. The protective pad 202 is made of rubber and has a porous structure. By setting the protective pad 202 to be made of rubber and having a porous structure, it can buffer external impacts while allowing water to permeate into the water storage tank 301, thereby improving the protection of the lawn during use. By setting the protective pad 202, when the lawn is subjected to pressure during use, the internal water storage area is buffered and protected, making the moving parts in the water storage area less likely to be damaged by external impacts, thus improving the protective performance of the lawn during use.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-2 As shown, the support mechanism 1 includes a lawn mat 101. A mesh 102 is provided in the middle of the upper end of the lawn mat 101. Artificial grass 103 is provided at the upper end of the mesh 102. By setting the mesh 102 for filtration, external impurities are not easily allowed to enter the lawn and cause damage to the water control device, thus improving the protective performance of the lawn during use.

[0031] Reference Figure 2-3 As shown, the protective frame 201 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the lawn mat 101. By setting the protective frame 201 to be fixedly installed at the lower end of the lawn mat 101, the lawn mat 101 is supported and the drainage components are protected, thereby improving the protective performance of the lawn during use.

[0032] Specific implementation process: Before the water-storage artificial turf is put into use, the locking block 306 is tightly embedded in the locking groove 303, sealing the water storage tank 301. At this time, the buoyancy plate 305 is at the bottom of the water storage tank 301 and is not subject to the buoyancy of the water. When rainwater or other water sources fall onto the artificial turf, the water gradually converges into the water storage tank 301. As the water level in the water storage tank 301 continues to rise, the buoyancy plate 305 begins to be subject to the buoyancy of the water. As the water level continues to rise, the buoyancy of the buoyancy plate 305 gradually increases. When the buoyancy increases to a certain extent, sufficient to overcome the weight of the buoyancy plate 305 itself and the friction between it and the water storage tank 301, the buoyancy plate 305 begins to move slowly upward. During the upward movement, the buoyancy plate 305 will drive the locking block 306 to move upward synchronously. As the locking block 306 rises, the closed relationship between it and the locking slot 303 is gradually broken, creating a gap between them. When the locking block 306 and the locking slot 303 are completely separated, water enters the locking slot 303 and is discharged through the drainage channel 304. The drainage channel is connected, and the water stored in the water storage tank 301 begins to drain out through the drainage channel. As drainage proceeds, the water level in the water storage tank 301 gradually decreases. As the water level in the water storage tank 301 decreases, the buoyancy force on the buoyancy plate 305 gradually decreases. When the buoyancy force is less than the weight of the buoyancy plate 305 itself, the buoyancy plate 305 begins to fall downwards under the action of gravity. During the fall, the buoyancy plate 305 again drives the locking block 306 downwards through the traction structure. When the water level drops to a certain height, the buoyancy plate 305 returns to the bottom of the water storage tank 301, and the locking block 306 re-embeds into the locking slot 303. The water storage tank 301 closes again, completing one cycle of water storage and drainage. During the descent, the buoyancy plate 305 again moves the locking block 306 downward through the traction structure. When the water level drops to a certain height, the buoyancy plate 305 returns to the bottom of the water storage tank 301, and the locking block 306 re-embeds into the locking slot 303. The water storage tank 301 closes again, completing one cycle of water storage and drainage.
