[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drainage between the current floor and the floor above and below, and more particularly to modular drainage structures. [Background technology]
[0002] During the construction of a house, drains are provided in the toilets, kitchens and verandas on each floor, and drain pipes are attached to the drains, with the lower ends of the drain pipes connected to the floor below. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] However, after a long period of use, the conventional construction method was prone to water leakage from the waterproof layer of the current floor, the drainage outlets and drainage pipes on 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 create an inclination angle on the surface of the cement so that the water can flow smoothly into the drainage pipe. As such, the construction time for 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 of the present invention believed that the above drawbacks could be improved, and as a result of extensive research, they came up with the proposal of the present invention, which rationally and effectively improves the problems.
[0006] The present invention has been made in view 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 pre-assembled so that construction work can be carried out simply by positioning and installing the modular drainage structure at the construction site, thereby significantly reducing construction costs and enabling the construction process of the drainage to be carried out on the same floor. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] 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.
[0010] In addition, in the modular drainage structure of the present invention, one or more waterproof trays are attached to the upper surface of the gradient layer, and waterproof kits are respectively installed between adjacent waterproof trays.
[0011] In addition, in the modular drainage structure of the present invention, an interior material is attached to the inner surface of the wall at the construction site, and a waterproof material is glued to the joint between the bottom of the interior material and the waterproof tray.

[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, with a drainage hole 41 on the lower side of the second inclined surface 40. In this embodiment, the material of the bottom layer 2 may be foam plastic, rubber, foam polyethylene, foam polypropylene, textiles, textiles, or any combination of the above materials. The material of the gradient layer 3 may be plastic, rubber, foam polyethylene, foam polypropylene, plastic plate, rubber plate, polypropylene, polyethylene, or any combination of the above materials. The material of the waterproof tray 4 may be a waterproof material, stainless steel, plastic plate, or high-density polyethylene.
[0018] In use, workers pre-cut and complete the bottom layer 2, gradient layer 3, and waterproof tray 4 to fit the construction requirements of the construction site S, such as the framework and area. After assembling the modular drainage structure 1 based on the above-described method, the structure is transported 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 in the wall S2 of the construction site S. The water flowing from the bottom of the waterproof tray 4 is guided to the drain outlet 41 via the second inclined surface 40 and then discharged through the drain pipe S3 (see Figure 2). More specifically, since the ground S1 of the construction site S is usually uneven due to crushed stone debris, contacting the bottom layer 2 with the ground S1 flattens the ground S1 and prevents it from becoming unstable and wobbly after the gradient layer 3 is attached to the bottom layer 2. The construction site S is typically a drainage location such as a toilet, kitchen, balcony, or bathroom.
[0019] The modular drainage structure 1 of the present invention may have various embodiments according to actual needs. One embodiment 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 rigid support layer 5 may be made of integral skin foam board, plastic board, plastic stone board, cement fiber board, or any combination of these materials. The surface layer 6 is attached to the inside of the waterproof tray 4 (see FIGS. 3 and 4). In this embodiment, the surface layer 6 may be made of 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 rigid support layer 5; and an adhesive layer T is installed between the rigid support layer 5 and the surface layer 6. Currently, different adhesive methods are used to bond the layers together depending on the materials of the layers. For example, if the gradient layer 3 is made of foamed polyethylene and the rigid support layer 5 is made of cement fiberboard, an adhesive bonding method is used. If the gradient layer 3 is made of foamed polypropylene and the rigid support layer 5 is made of plastic board, an adhesive bonding method or thermal welding method is used.
[0021] 3, 5, and 6, the present invention further provides an interior material 7 and a waterproofing 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 adhered 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, waterproofing kits 8 are installed between adjacent waterproof trays 4, and the waterproofing kits 8 prevent water from leaking onto the floorboards through gaps between the waterproof trays 4. In addition, glass pieces 9 are attached above the waterproof trays 4 or the surface layer 6, and the glass pieces 9 form a moisture-proof separation space at the construction site S.
[0022] As a result, the modular drainage structure 1 of the present invention has the following advantages over conventional drainage processes. In conventional construction work, workers typically arrive at the construction site S and 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, a slope is applied to the surface of the cement to allow water to flow smoothly into the drain pipe S3 and be discharged. If the construction site S is a bathroom with moisture-proof separation, glass pieces are installed and a waterproof material is coated between the glass pieces and the ground S1 to prevent water from leaking out of the bathroom space. Alternatively, surface materials such as floor tiles or tiles are added to the surface of the cement according to customer requests. In other words, the construction time of the conventional drainage process is very long, requiring workers to wait for long periods of time at the construction site S, which increases construction costs and ultimately passes these costs on to consumers. 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 construed as limiting the invention described in the claims or narrowing its scope. 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.
