Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of landscaping technology, specifically a square hole structure for a ground mat. Background Technology

[0002] In urban greening and landscaping projects, protecting tree roots, suppressing weed growth, and enhancing environmental aesthetics are core requirements for maintaining ecological balance and landscape quality. To achieve these goals, laying tree mats around the base of trees has become a widely adopted technique in the industry. By covering the root area of ​​trees, these mats reduce exposed soil to beautify the environment, physically block weeds from contacting the external environment, and create a relatively stable microenvironment for tree roots.

[0003] However, in practical applications, the current mainstream tree mats are insufficient in terms of drainage and aeration, often leading to water accumulation in the soil around the tree and poor aeration, which affects the respiration and growth of the tree roots, and is also detrimental to the growth of flowers and grasses around the tree.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a square hole structure for floor mats to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a square hole structure for a ground mat, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as poor drainage and air permeability of existing tree-surrounding ground mats, which are not conducive to the growth of flowers and grass around trees and the protection of tree roots.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a ground mat with square holes, comprising a ground mat body and a central hole at the center of the ground mat body for trees to pass through. Multiple square holes for ventilation and drainage are evenly distributed around the central hole on the ground mat body. The square holes have a trapezoidal shape, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. Multiple inclined guide channels are provided on the inner wall of each square hole, extending from the top to the bottom. A protruding plate for burying in the soil is fixedly connected to the outer bottom of the ground mat body. When it rains, rainwater quickly seeps into the soil through the square holes and the guide channels on the inner wall, preventing waterlogging. Air enters the soil through the square holes, ensuring that tree roots can breathe normally. Seeds of flowers and grasses around the trees can fall into the square holes and grow in a well-drained and well-ventilated environment.

[0007] Preferably, the width of the top of the square hole is 1-2 cm wider than the bottom. While ensuring that the bottom of the square hole has sufficient size to meet the needs of plant growth and soil aeration, the wider top design facilitates the rapid flow of rainwater and other liquids into the square hole, further optimizing the drainage effect, and preventing weeds from easily growing from the edge of the square hole due to an excessively wide top.

[0008] Preferably, the side length of the square holes is 5-8 cm, and the spacing between adjacent square holes is 3-5 cm. This is beneficial to the healthy growth of trees; the 3-5 cm spacing between adjacent holes allows the portion of the ground mat body between the square holes to effectively cover the soil, blocking weed growth and reducing the amount of manual weeding work.

[0009] Preferably, the angle between the flow channel 4 and the inner wall of the square hole 3 is 30-45 degrees. This angle design optimizes the flow channel's ability to guide rainwater and other liquids, ensuring the flow speed of the liquid within the channel while preventing the liquid from being obstructed due to an excessively large or small angle, thus further improving the drainage performance of the floor mat.

[0010] Preferably, the mat body is made of biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials, preferably a composite material of straw fiber and biodegradable plastic. At the end of its service life, it can naturally degrade and integrate into the soil, leaving no harmful residues. This is beneficial to protecting the ecological environment, conforms to the concept of sustainable development, and avoids the pollution caused by traditional non-degradable materials.

[0011] Preferably, to facilitate installation of the mat body on trees: the mat body consists of two interlocking mat panels, one of which has a locking plug symmetrically formed at one end near the square hole, and the other mat panel has a locking slot for fitting the locking plug at one end near the square hole. This facilitates installation of the mat body on trees, especially for existing trees, eliminating the need to slip the mat over the top of the tree; installation is completed simply by splicing the two mat panels together, making the operation simple, convenient, and improving installation efficiency.

[0012] Preferably, both the locking plug and the locking slot are T-shaped, and the end of the locking plug away from the floor mat has a U-shaped opening. The T-shaped locking plug and the locking slot work together to ensure the stability of the two floor mats after splicing, preventing loosening or separation at the joint; the U-shaped opening design makes it easier for the locking plug to be inserted into the locking slot, reducing the installation difficulty and making the splicing process smoother.

[0013] This application utilizes a trapezoidal square hole design (wider at the top and narrower at the bottom) and drainage channels on the inner wall to accelerate the drainage of rainwater and other liquids, effectively preventing water accumulation on the ground and root rot caused by waterlogging, thus providing a favorable growth environment for tree roots. The square holes also provide ample growing space for the surrounding plants, while the good drainage and aeration create a suitable environment for their growth, enhancing the greening effect around the tree.

[0014] This application uses interlocking mat boards to form the mat body, which makes it easy to install the mat body on trees. Especially for existing trees, there is no need to put the mat on the top of the tree. Installation can be completed by splicing two mat boards together, which is simple and convenient and improves installation efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0018] Example 1 This embodiment provides a floor mat with square holes, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the square hole structure of the ground mat includes a ground mat body 1 and a central hole 2 opened at the center of the ground mat body 1 for trees to pass through. Multiple square holes 3 for ventilation and drainage are evenly distributed around the central hole on the ground mat body 1. This provides a passage for trees to pass through, ensuring that the ground mat body 1 can be accurately and stably installed around the trees, so that the laying position of the ground mat body 1 corresponds to the tree, ensuring that the ground mat body 1 effectively covers and protects the root area of ​​the trees. The central hole 2 is opened at the center of the ground mat body 1. After the tree passes through the central hole 2, the ground mat body 1 is laid flat on the surrounding soil surface with the tree as the center, thereby achieving the positioning and installation of the ground mat body 1.

[0019] The square hole 3 adopts a trapezoidal structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. This trapezoidal design accelerates the drainage of rainwater and other liquids, effectively preventing waterlogging and root rot, thus providing a good growth environment for tree roots. Simultaneously, the square hole 3 provides ample growing space for surrounding plants, and its excellent drainage and aeration create a suitable environment for their growth, enhancing the greening effect around the tree. When rainwater or other liquids fall onto the ground cover 1, they flow into the square hole 3. Due to the wider top and narrower bottom of the square hole 3, the liquid flows rapidly downwards along the inner wall of the square hole 3 under gravity, accelerating drainage. Air enters the soil through the square hole 3, ensuring normal respiration for tree roots, and allowing plant seeds to fall into the square hole 3 and grow.

[0020] Multiple inclined guide channels 4 are provided on the inner wall of the square hole 3, extending from the top to the bottom. This further accelerates the flow rate of rainwater and other liquids within the square hole 3, enhancing drainage and more effectively preventing water accumulation on the ground, thus protecting the growth environment for tree roots and plants. The guide channels 4 extend from the top to the bottom of the square hole 3; when rainwater or other liquids enter the square hole 3, they flow rapidly downwards along the path of the guide channels 4, reducing the residence time of the liquid on the inner wall of the square hole 3 and thus accelerating the discharge speed.

[0021] To facilitate stable placement of the mat body 1 on the ground, a protruding plate 5 is fixedly connected to the outer bottom of the mat body 1 for burying in the soil. This ensures the mat body 1 is stably fixed to the ground, effectively preventing it from detaching due to external forces such as wind or human contact, and ensuring the mat body 1 continues to protect tree roots and suppress weed growth. During use, the protruding plate 5 is buried in the soil, where friction and restraint forces are generated, thus fixing the mat body 1 relative to the ground and preventing movement.

[0022] The top of the square hole 3 is 1-2 cm wider than the bottom. While ensuring sufficient space at the bottom for plant growth and soil aeration, the wider top allows rainwater and other liquids to flow quickly into the hole, further optimizing drainage. This also prevents weeds from easily growing along the edges of the hole due to an excessively wide top. The wider top can hold more rainwater and other liquids, while the slightly narrower bottom allows for faster flow as the channel gradually narrows, improving drainage efficiency.

[0023] The side length of the square holes 3 is 5-8cm, and the distance between adjacent square holes 3 is 3-5cm. This is beneficial to the healthy growth of trees; the 3-5cm adjacent spacing allows the part of the ground mat body 1 between the square holes 3 to effectively cover the soil, blocking weed growth and reducing the amount of manual weeding. The side length of 5-8cm provides sufficient space for the square holes 3 to allow air to enter the soil, meeting the respiratory needs of tree roots; the 3-5cm adjacent spacing allows the ground mat body 1 to form an effective barrier between the square holes 3, preventing weed seeds from contacting the soil and growing.

[0024] The angle between the flow channel 4 and the inner wall of the square hole 3 is 30-45 degrees. This angle design optimizes the flow of rainwater and other liquids through the flow channel 4, ensuring the flow speed of the liquid within the channel 4 without hindering smooth drainage due to an excessively large or small angle, thus further improving the drainage performance of the floor mat. The 30-45 degree angle also gives the flow channel 4 a suitable inclination, allowing rainwater and other liquids to flow rapidly along this angle under the influence of gravity after entering the channel 4, accelerating the drainage speed from the top to the bottom of the square hole 3.

[0025] The mat body 1 is made of biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials, preferably a composite material of straw fiber and biodegradable plastic. At the end of its service life, it can naturally degrade and integrate into the soil, leaving no harmful residues. This is beneficial to protecting the ecological environment, conforms to the concept of sustainable development, and avoids the pollution caused by traditional non-degradable materials. The composite material of straw fiber and biodegradable plastic has degradable properties. In the natural environment, after a certain period of time exposed to wind, sun, rain, and microbial action, the material will gradually decompose into harmless substances and eventually integrate into the soil.

[0026] To facilitate the installation of the ground mat body 1 on trees: the ground mat body 1 consists of two interlocking ground mat plates 11. One ground mat plate 11 has a locking plug 12 symmetrically provided at one end near the square hole 3, and the other ground mat plate 11 has a locking slot 13 for fitting the locking plug 12 at one end near the square hole 3. This facilitates the installation of the ground mat body 1 on trees, especially for existing trees, eliminating the need to slip the ground mat over the top of the tree. Installation can be completed simply by splicing the two ground mat plates 11, making the operation simple and convenient, and improving installation efficiency. During installation, place the two ground mat plates 11 on either side of the tree, align the locking plug 12 with the locking slot 13 and insert it, thus splicing the two ground mat plates 11 to form the complete ground mat body 1, which is then installed on the tree.

[0027] Both the locking plug 12 and the locking slot 13 are T-shaped, with a U-shaped opening 121 at the end of the locking plug 12 furthest from the floor mat 11. The T-shaped locking plug 12, in conjunction with the locking slot 13, ensures the stability of the two floor mats 11 after splicing, preventing loosening or separation at the joint. The U-shaped opening 121 facilitates the insertion of the locking plug 12 into the locking slot 13, reducing installation difficulty and making the splicing process smoother. The T-shaped structure allows the locking plug 12 to be horizontally restrained after being inserted into the locking slot 13, preventing the two floor mats 11 from separating. When the locking plug 12 needs to be inserted, the U-shaped opening 121 allows the end of the T-shaped locking plug 12 to be pressed into the U-shaped opening 121, reducing the plug end size and allowing easy insertion into the locking slot 13. After insertion, the plug end returns to its original shape, achieving a stable connection.

[0028] In this embodiment, the top side length of the square hole 3 is 6 cm, the bottom side length is 5 cm, and the distance between adjacent square holes 3 is 4 cm. Two inclined guide grooves 4 are provided on each of the four inner sidewalls of the square hole 3. The guide grooves 4 extend from the top to the bottom of the square hole 3, and the angle between the guide grooves 4 and the inner sidewalls of the square hole 3 is 35 degrees.

[0029] In use, the central hole 2 of the mat body 1 is placed over the tree, allowing the mat body 1 to spread flat on the soil surface around the tree. When it rains, rainwater quickly seeps into the soil through the square holes 3 and the drainage channels 4 on its inner sidewalls, preventing waterlogging. Air enters the soil through the square holes 3, ensuring that the tree roots can breathe normally. Seeds of flowers and grasses around the tree can fall into the square holes 3 and grow in a well-drained and breathable environment. After a period of time, the mat body 1 will gradually degrade and integrate into the soil, without causing environmental pollution.

The connection method used in this application is also a very common method in the mechanical field, and will not be described in detail here.
