Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foot pad technology, and in particular to a water-absorbing foot pad that can be folded in half. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, bathroom mats serve as a footrest after showering or washing feet. Their core function is to absorb moisture dripping from the feet and body, while preventing slips and falls. Currently, bathroom mats on the market are mainly divided into two categories:

[0003] Cotton foot pads: Although they have the advantages of being easy to store, easy to clean, and highly absorbent, they are prone to mold and odor problems in humid environments after long-term use, which affects the user experience and hygiene.

[0004] Rubber mats: They have a long service life, but they have the drawback of weak water absorption or slow water absorption speed, making it difficult to effectively meet the core requirements of water absorption and anti-slip.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, patent CN222080277U discloses a foldable, rollable, absorbent foot mat, comprising: a foot mat body, with multiple absorbent grooves evenly spaced at the top of the foot mat body; multiple volcanic rock layers fixedly attached to the top of the foot mat body between adjacent absorbent grooves; lava rock layers fixedly attached to the top of the volcanic rock layers; and diatomaceous earth layers fixedly attached to the top of the lava rock layers. The foot mat body of this invention comprises a composite layer, an absorbent layer, a waterproof layer, a base layer, and an anti-slip layer. The absorbent layer is a composite material made of absorbent leather and absorbent fabric; the waterproof layer is a polyurethane coating; the base layer is a natural rubber material; and the anti-slip layer is a natural foamed anti-slip material. This design provides excellent water absorption while also providing anti-slip functionality when wet, reducing the risk of slipping and improving safety.

[0006] However, the aforementioned devices have the following drawbacks: high manufacturing costs, long manufacturing cycles, complex production processes, and a highly targeted market, making it difficult to achieve broad market adaptability. Therefore, further improvements are needed. To this end, we propose a semi-foldable absorbent foot pad. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a semi-foldable absorbent foot pad.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a water-absorbing foot pad that can be folded in half, comprising a foot pad body, two symmetrically arranged sheets on the top of the foot pad body, a drainage groove between the two sheets, and anti-crack layers fixedly connected to the sheets on both sides of the drainage groove.

[0009] The foot pad body includes a base layer, a waterproof layer is fixedly connected to the top of the base layer, a soft glass layer is fixedly connected to the top of the waterproof layer, and a composite layer is fixedly bonded to the top of the soft glass layer and the sheet layer.

[0010] Furthermore, both of the aforementioned layers include volcanic rock sheets, which are fixedly bonded to the top of the composite. A lava rock sheet is fixedly connected to the top of the volcanic rock sheet, and a diatomaceous earth sheet is fixedly connected to the top of the lava rock sheet. The volcanic rock sheet, lava rock sheet, and diatomaceous earth sheet are all fixed to the crack-resistant layer by a fluid adhesive.

[0011] Furthermore, the width of the gap in the drainage channel is 6-8 mm.

[0012] Furthermore, the thickness of the sheet is 6–9 mm.

[0013] Furthermore, the waterproof layer material is selected from polyurethane coatings.

[0014] Furthermore, the soft glass layer material is selected from high-quality soft glass.

[0015] Furthermore, the material of the composite layer is selected from any one of tetrachloroethylene, water-white rosin, 120 resin, SBS792E, and water-based latex.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] In use, this invention utilizes a structural design with two symmetrically arranged layers on the top of the foot pad and a drainage groove in the middle, enabling the foot pad to possess both excellent water absorption and convenient folding functionality. Simultaneously, the combination of the waterproof layer and the soft glass layer effectively prevents moisture penetration, avoiding dampness and mold growth on the base layer. It also provides a supporting and folding foundation, replacing the original supporting materials. This results in lower manufacturing costs, shorter manufacturing cycles, and a wider market reach.

[0024] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a semi-foldable absorbent foot mat is disclosed, comprising a foot mat body 1, with two symmetrically arranged sheets 2 on the top of the foot mat body 1. The sheet 2 has a thickness of 6-9 mm. A drainage groove 3 is provided between the two sheets 2, with a gap width of 6-8 mm. Crack-resistant layers 4 are provided on both sides of the drainage groove 3 and are fixedly connected to the sheet 2. Both sheets 2 include volcanic rock sheets 23, and the volcanic rock sheets 23 are fixedly bonded to the top of the composite 5. A lava rock sheet 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the volcanic rock sheet 23, and a diatomaceous earth sheet 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the lava rock sheet 22. The volcanic rock sheet 23, the lava rock sheet 22, and the diatomaceous earth sheet 21 are all fixed to the crack-resistant layers 4 by a fluid adhesive.

[0026] The foot pad body 1 includes a base layer 11, a waterproof layer 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the base layer 11, a soft glass layer 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the waterproof layer 12, and a composite layer 14 is fixedly bonded to the top of the soft glass layer 13 together with the sheet layer 2. The waterproof layer 12 is made of polyurethane coating, the soft glass layer 13 is made of high-quality soft glass, and the composite layer 14 is made of any one of tetrachloroethylene, water-white rosin, 120 resin, SBS792E, or water-based latex.

[0027] Water absorption function is achieved as follows: Layer 2 is the core water absorption structure, consisting of diatomaceous earth sheet 21, lava rock sheet 22, and volcanic rock sheet 23 from top to bottom. Diatomaceous earth sheet 21 directly contacts water and quickly absorbs water due to its strong water absorption properties; the absorbed water is transferred downwards to lava rock sheet 22, where it further absorbs and temporarily stores the water; finally, the water permeates to volcanic rock sheet 23, which deeply locks in water through its porous structure. The three-layer structure works together to improve the overall water absorption efficiency.

[0028] Drainage and folding functions are achieved: A drainage channel 3 with a gap width of 6-8mm is provided between the two layers 2. On the one hand, the drainage channel 3 divides the main body 1 of the foot pad into two relatively movable parts, so that the foot pad can be folded in half along the drainage channel 3 for easy roll-up and storage; on the other hand, the gap formed by the drainage channel 3 can quickly drain excess water absorbed by the layers 2, avoid water accumulation and facilitate daily maintenance.

[0029] Crack prevention and structural stability are achieved: Crack prevention layers 4 are provided on both sides of the drainage channel 3. Volcanic rock sheets 23, lava rock sheets 22, and diatom sheets 21 are all fixed to the crack prevention layers 4 with fluid adhesive. After the fluid adhesive is shaped, it becomes an elastic paste, which can buffer the stress generated during folding or use to prevent the sheet 2 from cracking; at the same time, the crack prevention layer 4 can prevent water from entering the soft glass layer 13 and prevent the composite layer 14 from delaminating due to moisture.

[0030] The base layer 11 provides protection and support: The base layer 11 of the foot pad body 1 provides basic support for the whole. The waterproof layer 12 fixed on top of it is made of polyurethane coating, which can effectively prevent water from penetrating into the base layer 11 and protect the material performance of the base layer 11. The soft glass layer 13 on top of the waterproof layer 12 is made of high-quality soft glass, which has both support and flexibility. It provides a stable foundation for the upper structure and enhances the flexibility of the foot pad when folded. The composite layer 14 on top of the soft glass layer 13 and the sheet layer 2 is made of materials such as tetrachloroethylene. It firmly connects the sheet layer 2 to the foot pad body 1 through the adhesive. At the same time, the soft glass layer 13, the waterproof layer 12, and the base layer 11 are connected by equipment or mold. After drying or natural drying, they form a stable overall structure to ensure the structural integrity of the foot pad during long-term use.

[0031] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation.
