Description

[0001] A Water Drain with a Sloped Reservoir

[0002] Technical Field

[0003] The invention relates to water drains used in wet areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, terraces, balconies, and gardens, designed to channel wastewater into the sewage system.

[0004] Prior Art

[0005] Elements used in wet areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, terraces, balconies, and gardens to channel wastewater into the sewage system are referred to as water drains.

[0006] In current water drainage systems, reservoirs with slopes typically oriented from left to right or right to left are commonly used. These slopes are positioned along the same axis line. The slopes are designed to direct water from the left or right side of the reservoir toward the drain opening.

[0007] Reservoirs used in existing water drainage systems can sometimes fail to effectively and quickly evacuate the liquid intended for drainage. Liquid coming from the left or right side can accumulate along the inner edges of the reservoir. This accumulation may lead to unpleasant odors in usage areas over time. Additionally, the corners of the reservoir may darken, creating visually unappealing conditions. Furthermore, the buildup and darkening in these corners can eventually obstruct the drainage of water. Purpose of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of the invention is to provide a water drain that directs wastewater, dirt, and objects within the reservoir to the drain opening quickly and without causing any accumulation.

[0009] Another purpose of the invention is to achieve a water drainage structure that utilizes different slope combinations to enable fast, effective, and efficient liquid drainage, thereby preventing liquid accumulation on large surfaces.

[0010] A further purpose of the invention is to provide a water drainage structure that prevents liquid from seeping into lower layers, thereby addressing issues such as dampness, mold, and structural deterioration.

[0011] The reservoir developed to achieve the stated objectives contains;

[0012] A first sloped surface (21.2.1) and / or a second sloped surface (21.2.2) to ensure that wastewater, dirt, and objects entering through the gaps (50) at the edges of the cover (10) are directed to the drain opening (21.6) quickly and without causing any accumulation.

[0043] Detailed Description of the Invention

[0044] The invention relates to water drains used in wet areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, terraces, balconies, and gardens to channel wastewater into the sewage system. The water drain subject to this invention ensures that water is directed to the sewage system quickly and efficiently.

[0045] The described sloped water drain includes a cover (10), a reservoir (20), and a siphon (40). The reservoir (20) consists of two separate components: an upper reservoir (21) and a lower reservoir (22).

[0046] In the water drain subject to this invention, the cover (10) is placed on the upper reservoir (21) to conceal the water collected in the upper reservoir (21), the drain opening (21.6), and the hair catcher (40). By preventing the internal components from being visible, the water drain achieves not only functionality but also an aesthetically pleasing structure.

[0047] The cover (10) is positioned between the fixing projections (21.4) located on the upper reservoir (21). It is secured between two fixing projections (21.4) situated at the corners where the short edge (21.5) and the long edge (21.7) of the upper reservoir meet. The fixing projections (21.4) ensure that the cover (10) is stably positioned and fixed onto the upper reservoir (21). This design prevents the cover (10) from moving during user interaction or contact with liquid and minimizes potential metal noise. In addition to securing the cover (10), the fixing projections (21.4) maintain a standardized gap (50) between the upper reservoir (21) and the cover (10). This standardized gap (50) facilitates the easy drainage of liquids. When pressure is applied to the cover (10), the fixing projections (21.4) prevent the cover (10) from expanding outward toward the edges, thereby ensuring that the gap (50) remains open.

[0048] The cover (10) is generally “U”-shaped and features two feet (11). The distance (tl) between these feet (11) is smaller than the distance (t2) between the fixing projections (21.4). This design ensures that the cover (10) fits snugly onto the upper reservoir (21).

[0049] The fixing projections (21.4) are manufactured with a specific thickness. The thickness (t3) of the fixing projections plays an important role in determining the size of the gap (50). The thickness (t3) can be less than, greater than, or equal to the width of the gap (50), depending on the desired size of the gap.

[0050] To facilitate easy placement of the cover (10), the edges of the fixing projections (21.4) are chamfered (21.4.1). With these chamfers (21.4.1), the cover (10) can be positioned securely between the fixing projections (21.4) with minimal adjustment by applying slight downward pressure, achieving a tight fit.

[0051] Liquid entering the cover (10) is directed from its sides into the upper reservoir (21). The upper reservoir (21) collects the incoming liquid and channels it to the lower reservoir (22). From the lower reservoir (22), the liquid is directed to the siphon (30) for drainage. The upper reservoir (21) includes the following components: flat section (21.1), sloped section (21.2), central projection (21.3), corner projection (21.4), edge structure (21.5), drain opening (21.6), long edge (21.7). Liquid entering the cover (10) is directed from the sides of the cover (10) into the upper reservoir (21). The upper reservoir (21) collects the incoming liquid and channels it to the lower reservoir (22). From the lower reservoir (22), the liquid is transferred to the siphon (30) for drainage. The upper reservoir (21) includes the following components: flat section (21.1), sloped section (21.2), central projection

[0052] (21.3), corner projection (21.4), edge structure (21.5), drain opening (21.6), and long edge (21.7).

[0053] The flat section (21.1) and sloped section (21.2) in the upper reservoir (21) guide the liquid toward the drain opening (21.6). Liquid entering the flat section (21.1) is directed to the sloped section (21.2). The sloped section (21.2) increases the speed of the liquid to ensure its efficient drainage. The sloped section (21.2) consists of a first sloped surface (21.2.1), a second sloped surface (21.2.2), and side sloped surfaces (21.2.3).

[0054] The liquid to be drained can enter the upper reservoir (21) through the flat section (21.1), the sloped section (21.2), or directly via the drain opening (21.6). Liquid entering the flat section (21.1) is conveyed to the sloped section (21.2). The sloped section (21.2) is composed of stepped sloped surfaces, including the first sloped surface (21.2.1), the second sloped surface (21.2.2), and the side sloped surfaces

[0055] (21.2.3).

[0056] The first sloped surface (21.2.1) accelerates the liquid and transfers it to the second sloped surface (21.2.2). The liquid, further accelerated on the second sloped surface (21.2.2), is directed to the drain opening (21.6). At the point where the first sloped surface (21.2.1) and the second sloped surface (21.2.2) meet the long edge (21.7), side sloped surfaces (21.2.3) are located. These side sloped surfaces (21.2.3) guide the liquid from the first and second slopes toward the center of the drain opening (21.6). This design ensures that liquid is drained quickly and efficiently from the upper reservoir (21) without causing accumulation. The angle (a) of the first sloped surface (21.2.1) is larger than the angle (P) of the second sloped surface (21.2.2). This smaller angle on the second slope balances the flow of liquid, preventing uncontrolled splashing or spilling.

[0057] The drain opening (21.6) in the upper reservoir (21) ensures the proper direction of liquid within the reservoir and its transfer to the siphon (30). A hair catcher (40) is placed within the drain opening (21.6) to prevent hair and large objects that could cause blockages from entering the siphon (30). The hair catcher (40) ensures continuous operation of the drainage system, preventing potential overflow caused by blockages.

[0058] The lower reservoir (22), as part of the water drain, effectively collects potential leaks from the upper reservoir (21) and prevents these liquids from seeping into the screed concrete. The lower reservoir (22) directs the leaks directly to the siphon (30) line, thus preventing water from damaging structural elements and maintaining the integrity and functionality of the system. The inner surface of the lower reservoir (22) features a sloped surface (22.1) to ensure that water is drained without accumulation.

[0059] Additionally, the outer surface of the lower reservoir (22) is equipped with waterproofing fabric. This waterproofing fabric channels any potential water leaks around the water drain into the lower reservoir (22).

[0060] In the preferred implementation of the invention, both the upper reservoir (21) and the lower reservoir (22) are used, providing a dual-layer liquid insulation system. In alternative implementations, the lower reservoir (22) may feature multiple sloped surfaces similar to the upper reservoir (21). In other alternative applications, the lower reservoir (22) may be omitted.

[0061] The invention relates to a reservoir used in water drains designed to channel wastewater into the sewage system in wet areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, terraces, balconies, and gardens, characterized by: including a first sloped surface (21.2.1) and / or a second sloped surface (21.2.2) to ensure that wastewater, dirt, and objects entering through the gaps (50) at the edges of the cover (10) are directed to the drain opening (21.6) quickly and without causing any accumulation.
