AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, converting artificial turf in football fields to natural turf requires breaking up the hardened foundation and laying new turf, which is complex, time-consuming, and expensive, violating the concepts of energy conservation, emission reduction, and green environmental protection.
The system adopts a modular base plate structure, which includes a natural turf base, modular base plates, a buffer pad, and an artificial turf body. By removing the modular base plates, the buffer pad and artificial turf body can be removed together, exposing the natural turf base, thus simplifying the construction process.
It eliminates the need to demolish the hardened foundation and re-lay a natural turf base, shortening the construction period, reducing construction costs, and meeting the requirements of green environmental protection, energy conservation, and emission reduction.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of football field turf, and in particular to artificial turf for football fields that can be easily converted into natural turf. Background Technology
[0002] Some football stadiums were originally covered with artificial turf, but due to the need to host high-quality events, the requirements for turf quality and green area have been upgraded, necessitating a conversion to natural turf. Existing artificial turf is mostly based on hardened bases, such as concrete or asphalt. Converting it to natural turf requires drilling to remove the existing hardened base and then laying a new natural turf base in its place. This process is complex, time-consuming, and expensive, and does not align with the principles of energy conservation, emission reduction, environmental protection, and cost-effective event organization. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present invention aims to provide an artificial turf for football fields that can be easily converted into natural grass, without having to remove the original hardened base before laying a new natural grass base.
[0004] Artificial turf for football fields that can be easily converted into natural grass includes a natural grass base, a modular base plate that can be detachably mounted on the top surface of the natural grass base, a cushioning pad mounted on the top surface of the modular base plate, and the artificial turf body mounted on the cushioning pad.
[0005] Furthermore, the natural turf base consists of a 20cm thick layer of gravel, a 30cm thick layer of pure sand, and a non-woven fabric, from bottom to top.
[0006] Furthermore, the particle size of the crushed stone layer is 10-30mm.
[0007] Furthermore, the modular base plate is fitted with ground stakes at the bottom, which penetrate the non-woven fabric and are inserted into the pure sand planting layer.
[0008] Furthermore, the top wall of the modular base plate is equipped with a handle that extends upwards through the cushioning pad to reach the bottom wall of the artificial turf body.
[0009] Furthermore, the modular base plate is 30mm thick.
[0010] The beneficial effects are as follows: When the artificial turf of this invention needs to be converted into natural turf, the operator only needs to remove the modular base plate, which allows them to remove both the cushioning pad and the artificial turf itself, thus exposing the natural turf base. Then, the operator adds organic fertilizer, slow-release fertilizer, and amendments to the natural turf base, followed by rotary tilling to level the base before planting the natural turf itself. The entire process eliminates the need for drilling or other tools to break up the hardened base, as is required in existing technologies, and also avoids the need to re-lay the natural turf base, saving time and costs.

[0013] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an artificial turf for football fields that can be easily converted into natural grass. Its bottom layer is a 20cm thick layer of crushed stone 1 with a particle size of 10-30mm. A 30cm thick layer of pure sand planting 2 is laid on top of the crushed stone layer 1. A non-woven fabric 3 is laid on top of the pure sand planting layer 2. A modular base plate 4 (which is a single piece composed of multiple individual pieces) is placed on top of the non-woven fabric 3. Vertical channels 42 are formed inside the modular base plate 4. The upper end of the vertical channels 42 extends upwards through the top wall of the modular base plate 4, while the lower end of the vertical channels 42 is close to the modular base plate 4 but does not extend outwards. Ground stakes 41 are installed inside the vertical channels 42. The ground stakes 41, with their tails pointing downwards, enter the modular base plate 4 through the upper end of the vertical channels 42, pierce the bottom of the vertical channels 42, and then pass through the non-woven fabric 3 and into the pure sand planting layer 2. The modular base plate 4 is then detachably installed on the pure sand planting layer 2 and the non-woven fabric 3. A handle (not shown in the diagram) is mounted on the top wall of the modular base panel 4. A cushioning pad 5 (which is a single piece composed of multiple individual pieces, but each piece is larger than the individual modular base panels) is laid on the top wall of the modular base panel 4. An artificial turf body 6 (which is a single piece composed of multiple individual pieces, each piece having the same dimensions as the cushioning pad) is then laid on the cushioning pad 5. The handle extends upwards, passes through the cushioning pad 5, and reaches the bottom wall of the artificial turf body 6 (but the handle only makes contact with the artificial turf body 6). For example, the installation method could be adhesive bonding.
[0015] It should be noted that, apart from the handle, vertical channel 42 and ground stake 41, the other structures of the modular base plate 4 are existing technologies. For details, please refer to patent document CN204608557U. This patent will not elaborate further.
[0016] When converting to natural turf, operators only need to remove the modular base plate 4 to remove the cushioning pad 5 and the artificial turf body 6. Specifically, the operator lifts a portion of the artificial turf body 6 to expose a handle of one modular base plate 4. Grabbing this handle and applying upward force, the operator removes this unit along with the cushioning pad 5 and a corner of the artificial turf body 6 as a single unit. Then, using this unit as a handle, the operator removes the corresponding entire cushioning pad 5 along with the artificial turf body 6. This process is repeated for the remaining modular base plates 4, along with the corresponding cushioning pads 5 and artificial turf body 6. After removal, the non-woven fabric 3, pure sand planting layer 2, and gravel layer 1 are exposed, forming the base for the natural turf. The operator then adds organic fertilizer, slow-release fertilizer, and amendments to the natural turf base, followed by rotary tilling to level the base. The natural turf body can then be planted on top of the natural turf. Since the entire process does not require the use of drills or other tools to break up the hardened foundation as with existing technologies, nor does it require the re-laying of a natural turf base, it saves time and money.
[0017] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the scope of patent protection. Any non-substantial changes or substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model will still fall within the scope of patent protection.
