[0003] However, after a long period of use, the conventional construction method is prone to water leakage from the waterproof layer of the current floor, the drains and drain pipes of the upper and lower floors.

[0004] The conventional drainage process is generally carried out by workers at the construction site, and the usual method is to lay cement on the ground at the construction site, and after the cement dries and hardens, to make the surface of the cement have an inclination angle so that the water can flow smoothly into the drainage pipe. As such, the construction period of the conventional drainage process is very long, and the workers have to wait at the construction site for a long time, which significantly increases the construction cost.

[0005] Therefore, the inventors believed that the above-mentioned drawbacks could be improved, and as a result of extensive research, they came to propose the present invention, which rationally and effectively improves the problems.

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to solve the above problems. That is, the main object of the present invention is to provide a modular drainage structure that can be preassembled, and can be used for construction work by simply positioning and attaching the modular drainage structure at the construction site, thereby significantly reducing construction costs and enabling the construction process of drainage to be carried out on the same floor. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives and effects, one embodiment of the modular drainage structure of the present invention comprises a bottom layer, a gradient layer having an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface including a first sloping surface and the lower surface joined above the bottom layer, and a waterproof tray attached to the upper surface of the gradient layer, the waterproof tray having a second sloping surface at the bottom thereof, and the waterproof tray having a drainage outlet against the lower side of the second sloping surface.

[0008] In addition, the modular drainage structure according to the present invention further comprises a hard support layer attached to the inside or outside of the bottom of the waterproof tray.

[0009] In addition, in the modular drainage structure according to the present invention, a surface layer is attached to the inside of the bottom of the waterproof tray.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] The present invention will be described below through embodiments of the invention, but the following embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention according to the claims. Furthermore, not all of the combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the solution of the invention.

[0015] First, an embodiment of a modular drainage structure 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 7. The modular drainage structure 1 according to the present invention includes a bottom layer 2, a gradient layer 3, and a waterproof tray 4.

[0016] The gradient layer 3 has an upper surface 30 and a lower surface 31, the upper surface 30 includes a first inclined surface 300, and the lower surface 31 is bonded above the bottom layer 2. In this embodiment, the first inclined surface 300 has an inclination angle of less than 5 degrees, for example, the inclination angle is any one of 0.286 degrees, 0.573 degrees, or 1.718 degrees, and the most preferred inclination angle is 1.146 degrees.

[0017] The waterproof tray 4 is attached to the upper surface 30 of the gradient layer 3, and the bottom of the waterproof tray 4 has a second inclined surface 40, and the waterproof tray 4 has a drainage hole 41 on the lower side of the second inclined surface 40. In this embodiment, the material of the bottom layer 2 can be foamed plastic, rubber, foamed polyethylene, foamed polypropylene, textile products, textile products, or any combination of the above materials. The material of the gradient layer 3 can be plastic, rubber, foamed polyethylene, foamed polypropylene, plastic plate, rubber plate, polypropylene, polyethylene, or any combination of the above materials. The material of the waterproof tray 4 can be waterproof material, stainless steel, plastic plate, or high density polyethylene.

[0018] In use, workers cut and complete the bottom layer 2, gradient layer 3, and waterproof tray 4 in advance according to the construction conditions such as the framework and area of ​​the construction site S, assemble the modular drainage structure 1 based on the above-mentioned method, and then transport it to the construction site S. The bottom layer 2 is attached to the ground S1 of the construction site S, the drain outlet 41 of the waterproof tray 4 is connected to the drain pipe S3 of the wall S2 of the construction site S, and the water flow at the bottom of the waterproof tray 4 is guided to the drain outlet 41 by the second inclined surface 40 and then drained from the drain pipe S3 (see FIG. 2). In more detail, since the ground S1 of the construction site S is usually uneven due to crushed stone fragments, the bottom layer 2 is brought into contact with the ground S1 to flatten the ground S1 and prevent the ground S1 from being unstable and wobbly after the gradient layer 3 is attached to the bottom layer 2. Incidentally, the construction site S is a drainage place such as a toilet, kitchen, balcony, or bathroom.

[0019] In addition, the modular drainage structure 1 of the present invention has different embodiments according to actual needs. One of the embodiments further provides a rigid support layer 5 and a surface layer 6. The rigid support layer 5 is attached to the inside of the waterproof tray 4 (see FIG. 3), or the rigid support layer 5 is attached between the waterproof tray 4 and the gradient layer 3 (see FIG. 4). In this embodiment, the material of the rigid support layer 5 can be integral skin foam board, plastic board, plastic stone board, cement fiber board, or any combination of the above materials. The surface layer 6 is attached to the inside of the waterproof tray 4 (see FIG. 3, FIG. 4). In this embodiment, the material of the surface layer 6 can be tile, plastic floor tile, glass fiber reinforced plastic, acrylic, quartz tile, stone, or waterproof mat.

[0020] 7, an adhesive layer T is installed between the bottom layer 2 and the gradient layer 3 of the modular drainage structure 1 according to the present invention, an adhesive layer T is installed between the gradient layers 3 and 4 and the waterproof tray, an adhesive layer T is installed between the waterproof tray 4 and the hard support layer 5, and an adhesive layer T is installed between the hard support layer 5 and the surface layer 6. At present, the adhesion method between each layer is different according to the material of each layer. For example, when the gradient layer 3 is made of foamed polyethylene and the hard support layer 5 is made of cement fiberboard, an adhesive bonding method is used. When the gradient layer 3 is made of foamed polypropylene and the hard support layer 5 is made of plastic board, an adhesive bonding method or a heat welding method is used.

[0021] 3, 5 and 6, the present invention further provides an interior material 7 and a waterproof kit 8. The interior material 7 is attached to the inner surface of the wall S2 of the construction site S, and a waterproof material 70 is attached to the joint between the bottom of the interior material 7 and the waterproof tray 4. When one or more waterproof trays 4 are attached to the upper surface 30 of the gradient layer 3, a waterproof kit 8 is installed between each pair of adjacent waterproof trays 4, and the waterproof kit 8 prevents water from leaking into the floorboard through the gap between the waterproof trays 4. In addition, a piece of glass 9 is attached above the waterproof tray 4 or the surface layer 6, and the glass piece 9 forms a moisture-proof separation space at the construction site S.

[0022] As a result, the modular drainage structure 1 according to the present invention has the following advantages compared to the conventional drainage process. In conventional construction work, workers usually come to the construction site S and then perform construction work based on the conditions of the construction site S. For example, cement is laid on the ground S1 of the construction site S, and after waiting for the cement to harden, an inclination angle is applied to the surface layer of the cement so that the water flow can smoothly flow into the drain pipe S3 and be discharged. If the construction site S is a bathroom with moisture-proof separation, glass pieces are attached and a waterproof material is coated between the glass pieces and the ground S1 to prevent water from flowing out of the bathroom space. Or, surface materials such as floor tiles or tiles are added to the surface layer of the cement according to the customer's request. In other words, the construction period of the conventional drainage process is very long, and workers have to wait for a long time at the construction site S, which causes the construction costs to rise, and ultimately the costs are borne by consumers in the form of prices. However, with the modular drainage structure 1 of the present invention, it is pre-assembled and completed in a factory, so that workers only need to position and install the modular drainage structure 1 at the construction site S, and the construction work for the drainage process is also completed.

[0023] The above description is for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and should not be interpreted as limiting the invention described in the claims or restricting the scope of the invention. Furthermore, the configuration of each part of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the technical scope described in the claims.
