Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports field drainage technology, and in particular to a drainage channel for acrylic sports fields. Background Technology
[0002] Acrylic courts are a common type of sports field paving, widely used in basketball courts, tennis courts, badminton courts, and other sports venues. These courts are characterized by their strong integrity, high flatness, uniform color, and good wear resistance, meeting the speed, bounce, and friction requirements of athletes during sports activities. However, the acrylic surface is impermeable, so when it rains or is washed, surface water needs to be drained through drainage channels located at the edges or joints of the court to ensure the surface remains dry and safe.
[0003] Existing court drainage systems typically employ linear drainage ditches or slotted drainage structures. While these structures can collect rainwater to some extent, they still have several shortcomings in practical use: First, the cross-sectional design of some drainage channels is relatively simple. Excessively wide openings can affect the ball's normal bounce trajectory and the safety of athletes, while excessively narrow openings can restrict drainage, leading to rainwater accumulation on the court surface. Second, traditional drainage openings are prone to blockage over time due to the accumulation of impurities such as sand, mud, fallen leaves, or algae, resulting in decreased drainage efficiency and even large-scale water accumulation on the court, affecting its usability. Third, some drainage devices lack a design that facilitates cleaning and maintenance, often requiring regular manual cleaning or large-scale dismantling to restore smooth operation. This not only increases maintenance workload and costs but also affects the continuous use of the court. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a drainage channel for acrylic courts, so as to solve the problems of easy accumulation and blockage of impurities at the joints of existing acrylic court drainage channels during use and the inconvenience of cleaning and maintenance.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a drainage channel for acrylic sports fields, comprising: a drainage channel body and a top cover, wherein the top cover covers the drainage channel body and is fixedly connected to it, and the top cover has a plurality of drainage slits, wherein an anti-clogging component is provided on the side of the drainage slits near the drainage channel body, and the anti-clogging component is used to clean the drainage slits.
[0006] Preferably, the cross-section of the drainage channel body is dovetail-shaped.
[0007] Preferably, the anti-clogging component includes several limiting strips fixedly installed on one side of the top cover, several spring sheets slidably installed on the limiting strips, a scraping blade installed at one end of each spring sheet, and one side of the scraping blade abutting against one side of the drain seam.
[0008] Preferably, a second sliding groove is provided on one side of the limiting strip, a first sliding groove is provided inside the second sliding groove, and an mounting seat is slidably installed inside the second sliding groove. One end of the mounting seat passes through the first sliding groove and is slidably installed inside the first sliding groove.
[0009] Preferably, the mounting base has several threaded holes on the side near the first slide groove, and a knob is threaded into each threaded hole.
[0010] Preferably, the mounting base has a slot, one end of the spring sheet is adapted to the slot, and several limiting holes are provided on the symmetrical sides of the slot. Several limiting balls are fixedly installed on the side of the spring sheet away from the scraping blade, and the limiting balls are adapted to the limiting holes.
[0011] Preferably, a mounting groove is provided at one end of the spring sheet away from the mounting base, the scraper is installed in the mounting groove, and the scraper is connected to the spring sheet by rivets.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This type of drainage channel for acrylic courts, by incorporating an anti-clogging component, ensures that the scraping blade, under the pre-tension of the spring sheet, remains in contact with the inner wall of the drainage opening. Under the impact of rainwater flow or the vibration of external loads on the court surface, it slightly oscillates, continuously scraping the inner wall of the drainage opening. This self-cleaning action promptly removes sand, mud, algae, and other impurities adhering to the opening wall and pushes them to the bottom of the drainage channel, preventing impurities from accumulating at the opening. This effectively avoids the clogging problems that occur in traditional drainage openings due to prolonged use. Through this passive self-cleaning method, the device can maintain a long-term unobstructed drainage state without frequent manual intervention, significantly improving the anti-clogging performance and service life of the drainage channel.
[0013] 2. This type of drainage channel for acrylic courts, through the interaction of a mounting base, limiting hole, limiting ball, and knob in the anti-clogging component, allows the spring sheet and scraper blade to achieve effective limiting and positioning while maintaining stable operation. The mounting base can slide within the groove on the limiting strip and is locked in place by the knob, ensuring the stable working position of the scraper component and preventing displacement during use. Simultaneously, the mounting base has a slot and limiting structure inside, which reliably fixes the spring sheet and allows for disassembly and replacement when needed. The scraper blade is reliably connected to the spring sheet through the mounting groove and rivets, ensuring a tight fit with the groove wall during scraping. This structure not only ensures the long-term reliable operation of the anti-clogging component but also allows for individual disassembly and replacement after the scraper blade or spring sheet wears out, reducing maintenance costs, shortening repair time, and lowering the risk of court downtime.
[0014] 3. This type of drainage channel for acrylic courts features a dovetail-shaped cross-section. The channel is narrower near the top cover and gradually widens internally, increasing the internal volume without affecting the continuity and flatness of the court surface. This structure ensures a smaller width of drainage openings on the court surface, preventing tripping or cuts for athletes, while also ensuring the ball's normal bounce and trajectory within the opening area remains undisturbed. Furthermore, the increased channel volume allows rainwater to collect and drain quickly, handling large volumes of surface runoff in a short time, effectively preventing water backflow on the court surface, improving overall drainage efficiency, and ensuring the court's usability and performance after rainfall.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0019] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this utility model should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

Terms such as "connected" or "linked" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are used only to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, there is a drainage channel body 1 and a top cover 2. The top cover 2 covers the top of the drainage channel body 1 and is fixedly connected to it. Several drainage slots 3 are provided on the top cover 2. An anti-clogging component is provided on the side of the drainage slot 3 near the drainage channel body 1. The anti-clogging component is used to clean the drainage slot 3. The cross-section of the drainage channel body 1 is dovetail-shaped. When rainwater or wash water falls onto the surface of the acrylic court, the water quickly enters the drainage channel body 1 through the drainage slits 3 on the top cover 2. Because the cross-section of the drainage channel body 1 is dovetail-shaped, with a narrow entrance and a wide bottom, it can increase the internal volume of the channel while ensuring the safety of the narrow drainage slits 3, thereby improving the efficiency of water flow collection and discharge and avoiding backflow due to water concentration. The anti-clogging component set on the side of the drainage slits 3 near the drainage channel body 1 will swing slightly under the impact of water flow or external load disturbance, scraping and washing the inner wall of the drainage slits 3, so that the attached sand, mud film or algae and other impurities are peeled off and settled to the bottom of the channel with the water flow, and will not accumulate at the opening, thus keeping the drainage slits 3 unobstructed. This ensures the rapid drainage function of the court surface, while also taking into account sports safety and long-term durability.
[0021] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the anti-clogging component includes several limiting strips 4 fixedly installed on one side of the top cover 2. Several spring sheets 8 are slidably installed on the limiting strips 4. A scraping blade 9 is installed at one end of each spring sheet 8, and one side of the scraping blade 9 abuts against one side of the drain gap 3. A second sliding groove 6 is formed on one side of the limiting strips 4. A first sliding groove 5 is formed in the second sliding groove 6. A mounting base 7 is slidably installed in the second sliding groove 6. One end of the mounting base 7 passes through the first sliding groove 5 and is slidably installed in the first sliding groove 5. A [missing information - likely a typo, should be inserted here] is formed on the side of the mounting base 7 near the first sliding groove 5. Several threaded holes 11 are provided, and knobs 12 are connected to the internal threads of the threaded holes 11; a slot 16 is provided in the mounting base 7, one end of the spring sheet 8 is adapted to the slot 16, several limiting holes 15 are provided on the symmetrical sides of the slot 16, several limiting balls 17 are fixedly installed on the side of the spring sheet 8 away from the scraper 9, and the limiting balls 17 are adapted to the limiting holes 15; a mounting groove 13 is provided on the end of the spring sheet 8 away from the mounting base 7, the scraper 9 is installed in the mounting groove 13, and the scraper 9 and the spring sheet 8 are connected by rivets 10; When rainwater and impurities flow into the drainage channel body 1 through the drainage seam 3 on the top cover 2, the scraper blade 9, under the elastic action of the spring sheet 8, always abuts against the inner wall of the drainage seam 3. It oscillates slightly with the impact of water flow or external load vibration, scraping the inner wall of the seam opening. This removes sand, mud, algae, and other impurities adhering to the seam opening and pushes them into the channel, preventing them from accumulating and causing blockage. The spring sheet 8 is fixed by being embedded at one end into the slot 16 of the mounting base 7. The limiting holes 15 on both sides of the slot 16 cooperate with the limiting balls 17 on the spring sheet 8. During the scraping process, it plays a limiting and guiding role to prevent the thin sheet from falling out or deflecting; the mounting base 7 can slide and adjust its position in the first sliding groove 5 and the second sliding groove 6 on the limiting strip 4, and lock it through the knob 12 in the threaded hole 11, thereby realizing the positioning or replacement of the scraping component, which is convenient for later maintenance; at the same time, the scraping blade 9 is installed in the mounting groove 13 at the end of the spring thin sheet 8, and is fixedly connected to the spring thin sheet 8 through the rivet 10, so that the scraping blade 9 can stably fit against the inner wall of the drainage gap 3 under the drive of the spring thin sheet 8, and the whole system realizes the functions of automatic scraping, anti-clogging and self-cleaning.
