DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SOME EMBODIMENTS

We shall further describe the present invention in combination with the attached figures and the specific embodiments.

As shown in FIGS. 1-10, the draining mat provided by the present invention comprises a plurality of water-absorbing plates 1 and a plurality of draining nets 2, wherein each draining net 2 is wrapped around the periphery of each water-absorbing plate 1, and each draining net 2 has a plurality of draining holes 20, so that when an item is placed on the plurality of draining nets 2, the plurality of water-absorbing plates 1 can absorb the water flowing from the item into the plurality of draining holes 20; when the plurality of water-absorbing plates 1 are provided as two or more, each two adjacent water-absorbing plates 1 can be detachably connected with each other through magnetic attraction.

In the present invention, a plurality of draining holes 20 are arranged on each draining net 2, making it possible for the residual water on an item to quickly pass through these holes onto the water-absorbing plate 1. Each draining hole 20 is diamond-shaped, and a plurality of diamond-shaped draining holes 20 are evenly arranged on the top of each water-absorbing plate 1, but not limited to this, ensuring the stability of the item placed on the latter. In other examples, each draining hole 20 may also be in other shapes, such as circles or rectangles. Each water-absorbing plate 1 is used to absorb the water flowing from the item into the plurality of draining holes 20, effectively keeping the draining mat dry and preventing the water from accumulating.

when the plurality of water-absorbing plates 1 are provided as two or more, each two adjacent water-absorbing plates 1 can be detachably connected with each other through magnetic attraction; therefore, this design makes it possible to flexibly combine the water-absorbing plates together according to needs to form a draining mat with different sizes and shapes, so as to meet the requirements for the items with different sizes or draining water, making cleaning or replacement more convenient, and also facilitating later packing or carrying for flexible use. In the repent invention, each water-absorbing plate 1 is rectangular, but not limited to this; in other examples, it is possible to adjust the shape and size of each water-absorbing plate 1 according to actual needs.

EXAMPLE 1

In this example, each water-absorbing plate 1 is made from diatomaceous mud material, which has excellent water absorption properties, and makes it possible to quickly release absorbed moisture into the air and maintain a dry state. In addition, the diatomaceous mud material itself has a certain hardness and toughness, which can resist wear and scratches to a certain extent, so as to prolong the service life of the draining mat. Each draining net 2 is made from silicone material, which has good elasticity, and makes it possible for each draining net 2 to be better wrapped around the periphery of each water-absorbing plate 1. As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the draining net 2 extends to the bottom of the water-absorbing plate 1 via the top and the surrounding edges of the water-absorbing plate 1, making the connection between each draining net 2 and each water-absorbing plate 1 firmer, and enabling an item to be more stably placed on the draining net 2.

Furthermore, the draining mat further comprises a magnetic coupler, and a plurality of mounting grooves 10 are set on an edge of each water-absorbing plate 1, and the magnetic coupler is arranged in each mounting groove 10.

In this example, a plurality of mounting grooves 10 are set on an edge of each water-absorbing plate 1, so that by way of connecting each water-absorbing plate 1 together through magnetic attraction under the action of the magnetic coupler, it is possible to decrease a gap at a connection between each water-absorbing plate 1. When placing an item at the connection, it is possible to ensure that water can flow to one water-absorbing plate 1 without spilling from the connection; therefore, this design makes use convenient, and the draining mat is more aesthetically pleasing due to the smaller gap at the connection. By way of providing the magnetic coupler, it is possible for each water-absorbing plate 1 to be easily detached and recombined, allowing users to adjust the size and shape of the draining mat according to their actual needs.

As shown in FIGS. 1-2, in this example, the plurality of draining holes 20 are arranged on the top of each water-absorbing plate 1, and each draining net 2 is wrapped around the periphery of each water-absorbing plate 1 to cover the plurality of mounting grooves 10 at an edge of each water-absorbing plate 1, so as to provide an additional protection layer for the plurality of mounting grooves 10. When the magnetic coupler is arranged in each mounting groove 10, the draining net 2 can also cover the magnetic coupler in each mounting groove 10, ensuring the stability of the connection between each water-absorbing plate 1 and maintaining a simple structure.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5-6, the plurality of water-absorbing plates 1 and the plurality of draining nets 2 are each provided as two, namely a left water-absorbing plate 11 and a right water-absorbing plate 12, and two mounting grooves 10 are respectively set on the right edge of the left water-absorbing plate 11 and the left edge of the right water-absorbing plate 12, and the magnetic coupler is respectively arranged in each mounting groove on the right edge of the left water-absorbing plate 11 and each mounting groove on the left edge of the right water-absorbing plate 12.

In this example, two mounting grooves 10 are respectively set on the right edge of the left water-absorbing plate 11 and the left edge of the right water-absorbing plate 12, and the two mounting grooves 10 are symmetrically arranged at the front and rear ends of each water-absorbing plate 1, as well as the magnetic coupler is arranged in each mounting groove 10; this design noticeably strengthens the connection between the left water-absorbing plate 11 and the right water-absorbing plate 12, and improves the stability of the item placed on the draining net 2.

Of course, in other examples, it is also possible to arrange a mounting groove 10 on each of the left-right edges of the left water-absorbing plate 11 and the right water-absorbing plate 12, that is, some mounting grooves 10 are set on each of the left-right edges of each water-absorbing plate 1; therefore, this design makes it possible for users to connect each water-absorbing plate 1 magnetically without distinguishing their positions, further improves convenience of use. As for the sizes and quantity of the mounting groove 10 and the magnetic coupler, it is possible to adjust them according to actual needs for flexible use.
