Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of floor mat technology, and in particular to a floor mat. Background Technology

[0002] In modern medical environments, healthcare workers often need to perform extensive saline flushing or disinfection of patients' affected areas, wounds, foreign bodies, or implant / remove instruments. This process results in significant fluid accumulation on the floor, which can cause slips and falls for staff in the surgical area, increasing the risk of accidents. While some medical facilities both domestically and internationally use floor mats with absorbent and drainage features to address this issue, these mats often lack proper slip resistance, leading to accidental falls. Furthermore, while the mats are small, the area requiring fluid absorption and drainage is too large, limiting their functionality and failing to meet expectations. Cleaning and replacing the mats around the perimeter is also inconvenient, adding to the workload for healthcare workers. Therefore, to alleviate fatigue from prolonged standing, improve surgical efficiency, reduce workload, and address the current need for anti-slip, absorbent, and draining anti-fatigue standing mats specifically designed for medical environments, these solutions are necessary.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a floor mat provided in an embodiment of this application. The floor mat provided in this application includes a waterproof layer 1, an elastic layer 2, an adhesive layer 3, and an absorbent layer 4 stacked sequentially from top to bottom. The elastic layer 2 and the absorbent layer 4 are detachably connected by the adhesive layer 3. The absorbent layer 4 has an absorbent structure protruding from the edge of the waterproof layer 1. Liquid accumulated on the surface of the floor mat flows through the waterproof layer 1 to the absorbent structure. The floor mat also includes a drainage structure 5, which is connected to the absorbent layer 4. Thus, the waterproof layer 1 on the surface of the mat prevents liquid from seeping into the interior of the mat and allows the liquid on the surface of the mat to flow through the waterproof layer 1 to the absorbent structure. The absorbent structure can collect a large amount of liquid, preventing residual liquid on the surface of the mat and avoiding liquid pollution of the ground. The liquid collected by the absorbent layer 4 can be discharged and collected through the drainage structure 5, making it convenient to dispose of the liquid in a unified manner. The elastic layer 2 located below the waterproof layer 1 provides support for users standing on the mat, which helps to reduce users' standing fatigue. The elastic layer 2 and the absorbent layer 4 are detachably connected by the adhesive layer 3, which facilitates the individual replacement and cleaning of each layer of the mat.

[0029] In a possible implementation, the waterproof layer 1 is made of at least one of PVC leather, PU leather, and PU skin adhesive, which can prevent liquid from penetrating the surface of the mat and has good durability.

[0030] In one possible implementation, the waterproof layer 1 has a surface for stepping on, and the surface is provided with a first anti-slip structure. Thus, by providing the first anti-slip structure, the friction of the waterproof layer 1 on the surface of the mat can be increased, preventing users standing on the mat from slipping and falling in wet environments.

[0031] In some embodiments, the first anti-slip structure can be an anti-slip pattern, which includes at least one of wave pattern, granular protrusion, and mesh pattern. By increasing the contact area between the mat and the user's foot or shoe sole, the friction is significantly improved, which can effectively prevent accidental slips.

[0032] In other embodiments, the first anti-slip structure can be elastic anti-slip particles, which can increase friction to prevent slipping while also providing shock absorption and cushioning, thus helping to alleviate standing fatigue.

[0033] In a possible implementation, the waterproof layer 1 is provided with a first guiding structure, through which the liquid accumulated on the surface of the waterproof layer 1 flows into the water-absorbing structure. In this way, the guiding structure can actively guide the liquid accumulated on the surface of the waterproof layer 1 to the water-absorbing area of ​​the water-absorbing structure, preventing the liquid from remaining on the surface of the waterproof layer 1 and preventing the liquid from flowing to the ground and causing pollution.

[0034] Specifically, the first diversion structure includes a diversion slope disposed at the edge of the waterproof layer 1. The edge of the waterproof layer 1 is connected to the water-absorbing structure through the diversion slope. The diversion slope can guide liquid from the surface of the waterproof layer 1 to the water-absorbing structure, preventing liquid from entering the elastic layer 2 from the edge and affecting the structure and function of the elastic layer 2.

[0035] In a possible implementation, the first diversion structure further includes a diversion channel disposed on the surface of the waterproof layer 1; specifically, the diversion channel is connected to the diversion slope, and the liquid on the anti-slip layer can be guided by the diversion channel to flow to the edge of the anti-slip layer, and then flow to the water absorption structure through the diversion slope, which can prevent liquid accumulation on the waterproof layer 1. Through the combined action of the diversion channel and the diversion slope, the liquid can be quickly diverted.

[0036] In some embodiments, the surface of the waterproof layer 1 is provided with multiple intersecting flow channels, which form a flow guiding network on the surface of the waterproof layer 1; in other embodiments, the surface of the waterproof layer 1 is provided with multiple parallel flow channels, which can increase the friction of the surface of the waterproof layer 1 while achieving rapid flow guiding, thus playing an anti-slip role.

[0037] In a possible implementation, the elastic layer 2 has a porous structure. Thus, when subjected to pressure, the porous structure can dissipate kinetic energy through pore deformation to mitigate impact and provide standing support for the user, thus alleviating standing fatigue. Specifically, the uniform distribution of pores in the porous structure can disperse the pressure on the elastic layer 2, preventing stress concentration within the elastic layer 2.

[0038] In some embodiments, the porous structure includes interconnected pores, which gives the elastic layer 2 good resilience and prevents the elastic layer 2 from deforming under pressure for a long time; specifically, the porous layer also includes multiple independent closed pores, which helps to alleviate impact force and gives the elastic layer 2 good support performance.

[0039] In a possible implementation, the material of the elastic layer 2 includes at least one of PU foam, PVC foam, NBR foam, and TPE foam; PU foam has good resilience and pressure dispersion properties, and good moisture permeability, which can prevent water accumulation and mold growth in the elastic layer 2; PVC foam has good water resistance and high density, which can prevent liquid penetration into the elastic layer 2; NBR foam has a low compression set, which is beneficial to prevent structural deformation of the elastic layer 2; and TPE foam has good durability to prevent cracking of the elastic layer 2.

[0040] In a possible implementation, a second flow guiding structure is provided at the edge of the elastic layer 2. The first flow guiding structure and the water-absorbing structure are connected through the second flow guiding structure. In this way, the second flow guiding structure can guide the liquid flowing down from the first flow guiding structure into the water-absorbing structure, preventing the liquid from entering the elastic layer 2 and affecting the structure and function of the elastic layer 2.

[0041] In a possible implementation, the waterproof layer 1 covers the surface of the elastic layer 2 away from the absorbent layer 4, isolating the elastic layer 2 from the external environment, preventing liquid from entering the elastic layer 2 and affecting its rebound function, and avoiding the accumulation of liquid in the elastic layer 2 for a long time, which would cause the elastic layer 2 material to become moldy and affect the hygiene of the floor mat.

[0042] In a possible implementation, the absorbent layer 4 also includes a water storage structure, which is connected to the absorbent structure. This allows the absorbent structure to quickly absorb liquid from the mat, while the water storage structure contains the liquid, preventing it from flowing onto the ground. This also increases the water storage capacity of the absorbent layer 4, extending the mat's lifespan. Frequent replacement of the absorbent layer 4 or pumping operations are unnecessary, saving manpower.

[0043] In a possible implementation, the water-absorbing structure and the water-storing structure are stacked, the water-absorbing structure is detachably connected to the adhesive layer 3, and the water-storing structure is located on the side of the water-absorbing structure away from the adhesive layer 3. In this way, the water-storing structure is located below the water-absorbing structure, which can prevent the liquid squeezed out by the water-absorbing structure when it is stepped on from flowing to the ground.

[0044] Specifically, a guide hole is provided between the water storage structure and the water absorption structure. Liquid in the water absorption structure can flow into the water storage structure through the guide hole. During use, the pressure of the user's footsteps squeezes the water absorption structure, causing the liquid in the absorption structure to enter the water storage structure through the guide hole, thus completing the water storage process. This water storage process requires no additional operation and can be completed during the use of the floor mat, making it simple and convenient to use.

[0045] In some embodiments, the drainage structure 5 is connected to the water storage structure and is used to drain the liquid stored in the water storage structure; specifically, the drainage structure 5 is located at the bottom of the water storage structure, so that the liquid in the water storage structure can be drained without the need for a pumping device.

[0046] Specifically, a valve is provided between the drainage structure 5 and the water storage structure. When the valve is open, the drainage structure 5 and the water storage structure can be connected, allowing the liquid in the water storage structure to be discharged through the drainage structure 5. When the valve is closed, the connection between the drainage structure 5 and the outlet structure can be disconnected, allowing the liquid to be stored in the water storage structure.

[0047] In other embodiments, the drainage structure 5 is connected to both the water absorption structure and the water storage structure. The water absorption structure is connected to the pumping device through the drainage structure 5. In this way, the liquid in the water absorption structure and the water storage structure can be discharged at the same time, and the liquid in the water absorption structure can be completely extracted by the pumping device, which is convenient for the daily storage of the floor mat and prevents the liquid residue from causing bacteria or mold to grow in the water absorption layer 4.

[0048] In one possible implementation, the drainage structure 5 is a drain pipe, and the absorbent layer 4 is connected to a pumping device through the drain pipe. This allows for the rapid drainage of liquid stored in the absorbent layer 4 and facilitates the movement of the floor mat. Furthermore, extending the length of the drain pipe expands the usability of the floor mat.

[0049] Specifically, the water storage structure is equipped with drainage holes, and the water storage structure is detachably connected to the drainage pipe through the drainage holes, which helps to improve the convenience of operation.

[0050] In a possible implementation, the drain pipe includes a first branch pipe and a second branch pipe. The first branch pipe is detachably connected to the water absorption structure, and the second branch pipe is detachably connected to the drain structure 5. The liquid in the water absorption structure and the water storage structure can be discharged simultaneously through multiple branch pipes.

[0051] In one possible implementation, a second anti-slip structure is provided at the bottom of the absorbent layer 4. This effectively prevents relative slippage between the mat and the ground during use, avoiding slippage that could cause the user to fall.

[0052] In some embodiments, the second anti-slip structure can be an adhesive coating that prevents relative sliding between the mat and the ground through adhesion. In other embodiments, the second anti-slip structure can be suction cups that can fix several points to the ground through negative pressure, and can be reused with good durability.

[0053] In a possible implementation, the adhesive layer 3 includes multiple adhesive sheets spaced apart. This provides sufficient adhesion to prevent the elastic layer 2 from sliding relative to the absorbent layer 4, while facilitating the removal of the elastic layer 2 from the absorbent layer 4, thereby enabling the individual replacement of each layer of the mat.

[0054] Specifically, the adhesive layer 3 includes four adhesive tabs, which are spaced apart at the edge of the elastic layer 2. For example, the elastic layer 2 is rectangular, and the four adhesive tabs are respectively disposed at the four corners of the rectangle.

[0055] In a possible implementation, the adhesive layer 3 includes an adhesive layer and a gel layer stacked together, with the adhesive layer in contact with the elastic layer 2 and the gel layer in contact with the absorbent layer 4. This creates different forces between the adhesive layer 3 and the elastic layer 2 and the absorbent layer 4, achieving a tight fit between the adhesive layer 3 and the elastic layer 2, and enabling a detachable connection between the elastic layer 2 and the absorbent layer 4.

[0056] Specifically, the adhesive layer and the elastic layer 2 have a first adhesive force, and the gel layer and the absorbent layer 4 have a second adhesive force. The first adhesive force is greater than the second adhesive force. Thus, during the disassembly of the elastic layer 2 and the absorbent layer 4, the adhesive layer 3 can adhere to the elastic layer 2 and detach from the absorbent layer 4 together with the elastic layer 2, making it convenient to replace the absorbent layer 4.

[0057] In a possible implementation, a waterproof membrane is provided between the elastic layer 2 and the absorbent layer 4 to prevent liquid in the absorbent layer 4 from entering the elastic layer 2 and to avoid liquid remaining inside the elastic layer 2 for a long time, which could lead to the growth of bacteria or mold in the elastic layer 2 material.

[0058] Specifically, the waterproof membrane is fixedly connected to the elastic layer 2, and the waterproof membrane and the absorbent layer 4 are detachably connected through the adhesive layer 3. Thus, during the disassembly of the absorbent layer 4 and the elastic layer 2, the waterproof membrane and the adhesive layer 3 detach from the absorbent layer 4 along with the elastic layer 2, making it easy to replace the absorbent layer 4 separately. At the same time, during the replacement process, the waterproof membrane can be used to prevent the elastic layer 2 from being contaminated by liquid.

[0059] In a possible implementation, the waterproof layer 1 and the elastic layer 2 are integrally molded structures, as shown in the reference. Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a floor mat provided in an embodiment of this application. This simplifies the floor mat structure, facilitates the replacement of the absorbent layer 4, and the waterproof layer 1 isolates the surface of the elastic layer 2 from the external environment, preventing liquid from entering the interior of the elastic layer 2 and causing liquid residue that is difficult to drain.

[0060] Specifically, the third flow guiding structure is located at the edge of the integrally molded structure. The edge of the integrally molded structure is connected to the water-absorbing structure through the third flow guiding structure. The third flow guiding structure can guide the liquid from the surface of the waterproof layer 1 to the water-absorbing structure, preventing the liquid from entering the elastic layer 2 from the edge and affecting the structure and function of the elastic layer 2.

[0061] In one possible implementation, the edges of the floor mats are provided with connecting structures, which enable the detachable connection of multiple floor mats to expand the floor mat area.

[0062] The above description is only some embodiments of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model may have various changes and improvements. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made in accordance with the present utility model fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present utility model.
