Floor grid 24 preferably has suitable dimensions and structure with support level personnel, animal and other load thereon, allows refuse to pass through simultaneously.Floor grid 24 is by the perimeter support of drain pan 14, and the grid support notch 82 that can for example extend along the length of each sidewall 26 especially is assemblied on the sidewall 26.Here, floor grid 24 extends across slope 16 and drainage channel 40, and is supported by sidewall 26.Perhaps, grid support notch 82 also can be provided with along each end wall 42, thereby the floor grid of least significant end 24 can be supported by the grid support notch 82 along end wall 42.
Though there is shown the drain pan 14 of sidewall 26, what can be contemplated to is that module 12 can be made up of the drain pan 14 with single slope 16, and this slope is extended around drain pan 14 or held.Under such configuration, slope 16 limits drain pan edge 20, and slope 16 is 40 downward-sloping from drain pan edge 20 towards drainage channel.Perhaps, it is downward-sloping towards drainage outlet 18 that drain pan 14 also can be configured to make slope 16.On drain pan edge 20, have a plurality of along its isolated outlet opening 22, to be used for jet douche fluid on slope 16.
In one embodiment, each sidewall 26 comprises the hollow channel 28 that forms and allow flush fluid flow through along this sidewall.Fluid intake 30 is set at least one end wall 42 and the sidewall 26, and is configured to provide flush fluid by hollow channel 28 to slope 16.Perhaps, in the embodiment that does not have hollow channel 28, flush fluid can enter fluid intake 30, and can directly be provided on the slope 16.Yet fluid intake 30 can be provided with the passage that allows manifold 94 pass and flush fluid is brought to outfall 22 or injection nozzle 32.
Can see that in Fig. 1 self-cleaning flooring system 10 of the present invention can be made up of a plurality of modules 12 that are configured to horizontally and are connected with each other.By using mechanical fastening system (for example pin 36 and hole 38 systems make things convenient for interconnecting of 12 of modules, and wherein pin 36 is arranged in the module 12, are loaded into then in the hole 38 that is formed on the adjacent module 12).
Yet, can recognize that module 12 can interconnect each other by different linkages, and be not limited to this illustrate with disclosed specific embodiment or structure.As shown in Figure 2, module 12 can comprise that at least one is configured to extend and can be installed in according to the length of drainage channel 40 screen holder 74 of drainage channel 40 tops.Screen holder 74 preferably is configured to and can installs in drainage channel 40 and prevent effectively that the refuse of preliminary dimension from entering drainage channel 40.
As shown in Figure 2, screen holder 74 extends according to the length of drainage channel 40 and the diclinic kilsyth basalt face that adapts to especially with drainage channel 40 matches.About this point, the interior thickness of screen holder 74 is bigger than the thickness of the free terminal of screen holder 74.Screen holder 74 can additionally comprise as preventing that refuse from entering the grid 76 of the filter of drainage channel 40.For such structure, wherein drainage channel 40 is configured to towards at the downward-sloping single inclined surface of the drainage outlet 18 of drain pan 14 ends, and the filter screen raceway groove preferably is configured to match with it.More particularly, it is thicker than its opposite end that screen holder 74 preferably is configured to an end, and when making in being installed in drainage channel 40, the grid 76 that is installed in screen holder 74 tops is arranged on the horizontal direction substantially.
Turn to now show in one embodiment according to Fig. 9-12 that is installed in the self-cleaning flooring system 10 in the substrate 88 (for example cast concrete base) of the present invention.As can see from Figure 10, drain pan 14 is installed in no slump concrete and settles on the platform, though it also can be installed in the substrate 88 of any component.The periphery of drain pan 14 comprises the periphery flange 80 that extends and be used as the edge that supports drain pan 14 around it.Periphery flange 80 stretches out from sidewall 26 side direction of drain pan 14.Preferably, periphery flange 80 is installed into concordant with floor level 86.More particularly, the periphery flange 80 of drain pan 14 preferably is installed into concordant with the upper surface of floor covering 84 (for example wood floor bolck or other floor covering 84) on the floor level 86.
As shown in figure 10, the slope 16 of drain pan 14 can be installed in the substrate 88 (for example cast concrete base 88) that is installed in successively on the lower surface (for example Zheng Ping land or soil).Settle platform to be placed on successively subsequently on cast concrete base 88 tops, and can make by no slump concrete.Floor covering 84 (for example wood floor bolck) can be installed in subsequently successively to be settled on the platform.Periphery flange 80 is installed in to be settled on the platform and preferably concordant with floor level 86.
The embodiment of the floor system shown in Fig. 9-12 structurally with in as shown in Fig. 1-2 and structure similar foregoing embodiment.More particularly, the drain pan 14 as shown in Fig. 9-12 can be by a pair of relative forming towards drainage channel 40 downward-sloping slopes 16.Yet, can reckon with that each module 12 can be by only being made up of a drain pan 14 that has the slope 16 of the drainage outlet 18 on the bight that is arranged in drain pan 14.Slope 16 can be downward-sloping towards drainage outlet 18.Yet, believe as Fig. 1,2 and Fig. 9-12 shown in structure be preferred, wherein drain pan 14 is made up of a pair of slope 16 that is arranged in the relative both sides of drainage channel 40.As previously mentioned, drainage channel 40 is downward-sloping towards near the drainage outlet 18 that is positioned at the end wall 42.
Still with reference to Figure 10, can see therefrom that the size that is formed on the opening on substrate 88 and the arrangement platform is slightly greater than drain pan 14.More particularly, opening is installed in zone wherein with pipeline (for example being used to transport the manifold 94 of flush fluid) after being included in hardening of concrete.In case pipeline is mounted, drain pan 14 can rest in the substrate 88 along with the part with slope 16 and be mounted.
Then, the installation of the no slump concrete platform by forming final arrangement platform, drain pan 14 is supported at its edge.About this point, the space of no slump concrete filled sidewall 26 and periphery flange 80 belows.Check whether drain pan 14 is concordant to guarantee the normal function of flush fluid at floor system 10 run durations and to flow.Can reckon with, the enhancing bar can be set to help levelling drain pan 14 before mounting table is installed.
Can reckon with that drain pan 14 can be installed in the multi-layer floor building, wherein the reinforcing bar paving is used as substrate 88.About this point, drain pan 14 can provide suitable otch, is supported on the reinforcing bar paving with permission equipment and drain pan 14.Floor system 10 of the present invention can be installed with the similar installation floor sink (floor sink) or the method for floor trough.Buck plate can be fixed on the paving before toppling over concrete (should carry out in order) before drain pan 14 is installed.As previously mentioned, preferably, topple over or fixing concrete before drain pan 14 is carried out levelling.
