Abstract

Disclosed in the present invention is a gel anti-fatigue floor mat based on recycled sponge. The gel anti-fatigue floor mat comprises a floor mat body, wherein a slope edge structure is arranged around the floor mat body, and the angle of a chamfer is 20-80°; the floor mat body comprises a surface layer, a gel layer, a recycled sponge layer and an anti-slip layer, which are sequentially laminated together from top to bottom; and the gel layer is a polyurethane solid gel. In the present invention, the gel layer is arranged to provide better wrapping and supporting effects for the soles of a user, so that when the user steps on the floor mat body, the surface of the floor mat body naturally concaves downwards to achieve the anti-fatigue performance. By means of arranging the slope edge structure around the floor mat body, tripping can be prevented, thereby increasing safety. The polyurethane solid gel is extruded in a snake-like shape onto a lower surface of the surface layer by means of an extrusion apparatus, so that the usage amount of the polyurethane solid gel can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing production costs.

[0002] In today's workplaces and home offices, people commonly use floor mats with rebound support to reduce fatigue while standing, increase comfort, and improve work efficiency. These products typically adopt conventional shapes and structural designs, such as a horizontal structure with uniform thickness, which can meet the characteristics of most usage scenarios. However, existing floor mats have poor wrapping and support properties, are not suitable for the stress state of standing posture for people who stand for long periods of time, and have weak anti-fatigue properties.

[0022] Unless otherwise specified, the technical features described in the present invention are obtained from conventional commercial channels or prepared by conventional methods. Their specific structures, working principles, and possible control methods and spatial layout methods can be selected conventionally in the field and should not be regarded as the innovative points of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is understandable that the patent of this invention will not be further elaborated.

[0023] As shown in Figure 1, a gel anti-fatigue floor mat based on recycled sponge includes a floor mat body, and a sloped edge structure is provided on all four sides of the floor mat body, and the angle of the sloped edge structure is 20 to 80 degrees; the floor mat body includes a surface layer 1, a gel layer 2, a recycled sponge layer 3 and an anti-slip layer 4 compounded together from top to bottom; the gel layer 2 is a polyurethane solid gel.

[0024] The present invention provides a gel layer 2 to better wrap and support the soles of the user's feet, so that when the user steps on the floor mat body, the surface of the floor mat body naturally concave to achieve anti-fatigue properties. In addition, by providing a sloped edge structure around the floor mat body, it can prevent kicking and tripping, thereby increasing safety.

[0025] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the surface layer 1 is made of any one of PU leather, PVC leather and woven cloth.

[0026] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the polyurethane solid gel is extruded in a serpentine shape onto the lower surface of the surface layer 1 by an extrusion device. The serpentine shape extrusion onto the lower surface of the surface layer 1 can effectively reduce the amount of polyurethane solid gel used and reduce production costs.

[0027] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the recycled sponge layer 3 is formed by crushing recycled cloth sponge and / or recycled pure sponge, mixing with glue, and drying.

[0028] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the anti-slip layer 4 is made of foam rubber or SBR rubber.

[0029] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the recycled cloth sponge and / or recycled pure sponge is crushed and filled into the mold cavity and mixed with glue and then heated and pressurized for curing, and the upper and lower surfaces are glued with the gel layer 3 and the anti-slip layer 4 respectively.

[0030] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the recycled cloth sponge and / or recycled pure sponge is crushed to a particle size of 5 to 25 meshes, the glue is polyurethane glue, the amount used is 2% to 10% of the weight of the recycled sponge, the mixing temperature is 10 to 30° C., and the stirring time is 10 to 30 minutes.

[0031] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the recycled cloth sponge and / or recycled pure sponge are first subjected to a deironing process after being crushed, and the deironing process includes magnetic separation and / or vertical centrifugal deironing to remove harmful components such as metallic iron, iron oxide, and iron-containing minerals contained in the blank.

[0032] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the surface layer 1, gel layer 2, recycled sponge layer 3, and anti-slip layer 4 are formed by closing an upper and lower mold and then heating and curing them. The upper mold temperature is 55-90°C, the lower mold temperature is 95-135°C, and the curing time is 2-15 minutes. By controlling the upper mold temperature at 55-90°C, the polyurethane solid gel melts and evenly and completely covers the lower surface of the surface layer 1, also facilitating the composite formation between the surface layer 1 and the gel layer 2. By controlling the lower mold temperature at 95-135°C, the recycled sponge layer 3 is cured and formed, and the composite connection of the recycled sponge layer with the gel layer 2 and anti-slip layer 3 is also facilitated.

[0033] The preparation method of the present invention is as follows:

[0034] S1. Wash and dry the recycled cloth sponge and / or recycled pure sponge and crush them into a particle size of 5 to 25 mesh;

[0035] S2. Add the crushed recycled cloth sponge and / or recycled pure sponge and polyurethane glue in a weight ratio of 10:1 into a container, stir and mix at room temperature for 10 to 30 minutes;
