In addition, a sensor system may be included in the floor mat to assist a user in identifying when it may be necessary to clean the floor mat. A floor mat is known that can be used to clean the soles of people who are about to enter a specific area or room. A common problem with this floor mat is how to keep the floor mat clean enough so that it can still be cleaned when the function is intentionally soiled Features of shoes. Known floor mats can contain single pieces of unitary material, these single structures-5- This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210X297 mm) 1238707 A7 _ B7 V. Description of the invention (ΤΊ '—- Although the floor mat may be kept clean, for example, by cleaning the floor mat, it may be necessary to remove the entire floorboard from its position for cleaning, so when cleaning up: the floor mat cannot be used as needed. Or, even if it can be positioned Clean the floor 塾 (this is not possible if, for example, in a carpeted area), it may not be convenient to clean the floor mats during positioning. US Patent No. 3,785,102 issued to Araos A disposable pad is disclosed, which includes a plurality of stacked disposable sheets. When a specific piece has been scaled, the scale is removed and discarded. After discarding this piece, the clean next piece will be exposed, so again A clean surface can be used. However, floor mats containing disposable sheets can be problematic because they are discarded after they become dirty: discard, so each dirty sheet may not be economical when disposed of Cost. In addition, no discs are left after discarding a limited number of discs, so there is no longer an effective clean surface to use. US Patent No. 3,785,102 issued to Amos also discloses · Adhesives can be placed on the top surface of each piece to improve the ability to remove dirt / loss from personnel shoes. But again, these pieces are non-cleanable and therefore cannot be reused. Awarded to Amos U.S. Patent No. 3,717,897, et al. Discloses a pad for cleaning shoes and wheels, the pad including a thin washable adhesive covering the upper surface to remove dust from the shoes and wheels. Although '897 Patent No. discloses a pad with a washable adhesive upper surface. This pad has not been used for home or office use. As described in the '897 patent, this pad is placed at the entrance of a clean room. Β Adhesive floor mats are much more commonly used indoors than the exterior away from the entrance. -6-This paper size is in accordance with the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 male 1238707 A7 B7. V. Description of the invention (3) Environment For example for deep construction Internal clean rooms, such as hospital rooms, computer chip manufacturing space, and sports facilities. Therefore, adhesive floor mats are not used in areas adjacent to entrances from the external environment to clean the soles of personnel before entering the building, such as Used in entrance doors or outdoor balconies. Because of several known disadvantages, adhesive floor mats have not been used in home or office applications (such as residential or corporate office applications). One of the disadvantages is that adhesive surfaces Wetting is no longer as effective, so if an adhesive surface floor mat is used in an outdoor environment (such as the outdoor balcony described above) or in an indoor environment adjacent to or near an outdoor entrance (such as an entrance foyer of a house or business) ) To clean personnel's shoes before going deeper into a home or business, the pad may become wet and no longer effective. The pad may become wet, for example, due to humidity in the atmosphere or due to the moisture attached to the soles of people who step on the pad. In addition, if the sticky surface becomes wet, it may slip and pose a danger to the pedaler. More specifically, the adhesive systems commonly used in the adhesive surface of floor mats have been commercialized over the past decades to the extent that they have optimized specific adhesive thresholds. However, even at this optimized critical value, the sticky surface still has the above disadvantage that the sticky surface may slip when wet. Attempts to address the problem by manipulating the chemical composition of the adhesive used in the sticky surface have proven ineffective. If the above-mentioned optimized stickiness threshold is exceeded (that is, if the sticky surface is made more sticky), the Danger of falling down when dry. On the other hand, if it is lower than the critical value (that is, if the sticky surface is made less sticky), there is a danger of slipping when the sticky surface is wet. Taking into account the above factors, there is no one that can provide the paper size in both wet and dry conditions to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 1238707 A7 ___ B7 V. Description of the invention (4) Sticky The single chemical composition of an adhesive on a sticky surface. For this reason, there is a need for a floor tile having an adhesive surface that can be used in both wet and dry environments. Other disadvantages resulting from the use of known adhesive floor mats in residential or office-type applications as described above are that they may pose a trip hazard and are not aesthetically pleasing. In the patent No. 8 97, because the pad is designed to be used in a clean room environment, it is attached to the floor of the passage with an adhesive in front of the entrance porch, so it can be used satisfactorily in clean: ¥ * to type applications. Leaving it in place, however, if an attempt was made to use the 'gw patent pad on a carpeted floor, the pad would not properly adhere to the carpet and there would be a risk of tripping, resulting in serious compensation problems. The pad of the '897 patent is not of sufficient quality to be left in place without an adhesive. In terms of aesthetics, because adhesive floor mats are known to have only functional characteristics, they are only used in "clean room," and are not aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, for at least the reasons above, adhesive floor mats have not been used in homes or offices. The additional disadvantages of known floor mats are issues related to the specific buyer-specific and lack of additional cleaning properties, which may be the first item encountered by visitors to a particular home or business. Therefore, Owners of a home or business may wish to use floor mats to convey preliminary greetings or messages to visitors graphically. Although floor mats that can contain greetings are known, there is currently no customizable display graphic for a particular buyer to tailor the message. Customized to convey the specific message that the male purchaser needs. For example, at Halloween, the purchaser may want the floor mat to display a "Happy Halloween," message. In another case, the purchaser may wish to send greetings to specific visitors, such as "Joe, you 妤 丨", and the Chinese standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 × 297 mm) is applicable to the size of the paper. V. Description of the invention (5) ― The plan has not yet provided a kind of flooring that can be used to personally customize the floor to show the special message you want to convey or even to change the floor you want to convey in certain situations. ^^ Another problem with known floor mats is that they have limited ability to clean the soles of the personnel. Although known floor mats may be able to remove dust particles from the soles, they do not disinfect the shoes and do not provide fragrance to the soles. Cover up any unpleasant odors in the soles. Another known disadvantage of floor mats is that, even if they are cleanable, they cannot assist the user in deciding when to clean the floor. -In general, the owner or manager of the floor mat does not continuously or regularly monitor the cleanliness of the floor mat. : So 'the floor mats will need to be cleaned because everyone did not deliberately monitor the condition of the floor mats, it may take a long time before everyone understands the need to clean the floor mats, so the owner / management of the auxiliary floor mats is needed The person decides when the floor mat needs to be cleaned. In addition, many shoppers are often frustrated by the inability to find what they need in the stores they visit. Often, after a futile search, the buyer is forced to find a store clerk asking him to indicate the location of the shelves in the store. The clerk may be few, busy or hard to find, causing further frustration. As will be described later, an embodiment of the floor panel according to the present invention may include a sound-sensitive display to provide the inquirer with information such as the location of the item in the store. • Therefore, there is a need to provide an advanced floor mat that can solve the problems of currently known floor mats. The advanced flooring of the present invention can overcome the shortcomings of conventional techniques and can include a base, which is a base Combined use of suitable wood paper standards applies to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 public directors) 1238707 A7 ___ _ B7 V.

Therefore, these convex portions can significantly reduce the viscosity Possibility when the part becomes wet. · The convex part 3_ can be formed in various layers in various ways, and the present invention is not limited to any particular method. A method for forming the convex part is to assemble the layers into a layer. Then the whole piece is inserted into a machine press—the -side of the press is flat, and the other side (that is, the face facing the non-adhesive or bottom side of the layer) contains a -like shape or Bulge. When the whole piece is pressed in the machine press- 'all the adhesive layers are embossed with the pattern of the pressurized surface, forming convex or embossed portions in the various adhesive layers of the whole piece, therefore, each embossed portion A skull is formed in each layer and contains a dent on the bottom or non-adhesive side of each layer, and -26- This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 male 1238707 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (23) One convex part on the upper side or the adhesive side of each layer. It can be understood that the above is used to form the convex part In the method, the protrusions of each layer are aligned with the protrusions of other layers. The protrusions of each layer are expected to be aligned but not necessarily aligned, so the shape can be easily maintained when the layers are stacked on top of each other. As shown in FIG. 10, the substrate The part 200 may also be complementary to the relief layer. The surface 2000A may be provided with a convex part 200B. The surface 2000A defines a bottom part of the concave part 200 that can receive the adhesive layer 300. The position of these convex parts It can be aligned with the convex part in the adhesive layer. Therefore, when the layer is inserted into the concave part in the base part, the convex part 20 0B on the surface 2_ is located in the indentation in the least adhesive layer. It can be appreciated that these protrusions help to retain and maintain the protrusions in the adhesive layer, especially when only the least adhesive layer is left in the floor mat. However, in practicing the present invention, the base portion need not be provided with a convex portion, and these layers may be provided with a convex portion regardless of whether the base portion includes a complementary convex portion. In another alternative embodiment of the sticky portion, the sticky portion may include a water-repellent force, and the sticky portion may include a water-repellent porous structure that helps to drive water from the surface of the sticky portion. 11 and 12 show an alternative embodiment of the floor potential of the present invention, which provides a water repellent ability to the adhesive part, as described below.

Therefore, due to the aligned openings in the layer, the adhesive portion can discharge surface water to the base portion provided with the layer from the topmost surface of the adhesive portion or from the sole of a person standing on the adhesive portion via the opening. As mentioned above, -27- This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (21 × 297 mm) 1238707 A7 ____ B7 V. Description of the invention (24) The base can include a water-repellent component and / or a water The absorbing component moves and / or absorbs surface water discharged from the adhesive portion through the opening. The openings also not only drain surface water from the surface, but also provide increased frictional contact between the person's shoes stepping on the layer and the layer itself to help prevent slipping on the wet surface of the layer. Openings can provide discontinuities in the surface of the layer to enhance the frictional contact between the person's shoes and the layer. The edges of the layer surface that define the openings will provide this enhanced contact. The personnel shoes are joined to the edges to enhance the shoes. Frictional contact. In addition, the opening provides a suction effect on the bottom of the person's shoes (such as a suction cup). This suction caused by the opening on the person's shoes also helps prevent slipping on the surface of the layer. Fig. 12 shows another embodiment of the floor mat of the present invention, which also provides a water-repellent ability to the adhesive portion. As shown in the figure, the sticky portion 3θθ includes layers gw and 302. The base portion 200 defines a concave portion, and the layers 301 and 302 are arranged in the concave portion. A surface used to define a bottom of the recessed portion includes a protruding portion 200c located at or near a center position within the recessed portion. Therefore, the protruding portion 20C of the base portion forms a protruding portion in each layer. . It can be understood that the convex portions formed in the layer have the function of driving out the surface water on the layer from the layer, and the surface water will be discharged out of the layer due to the gravity. Similarly, in the embodiment of Figs. 11 and 12, any number of layers may be included in the adhesive portion 300. It is also foreseen that in the present invention, a water-absorbing powder such as talc is provided.-This powder is incorporated into the floor slab or integrated with the floor. The talc powder can remove the humidity from the sole of the person when the person steps in the powder. , And when a person steps on the viscous inserting part, the viscous inserting part can then change the -28 from the sole of the person's shoe.

It can be understood that when scraping the cleanable part, the scraping part is lowered correspondingly on the rails 2140, 2145 to make the surface of the scraping part joined by the cleanable part and The cleanable portion remains engaged. Therefore, for example, the scraper can be mounted on a ratchet mechanism, so when the scraper moves across the full width of the floor mat, the scraper actuates the ratchet to cause the itch ratchet to lower the scraper. Or The scraper can be kept in the same relative position with respect to the track, and the guideway can be lowered by ratchet with respect to the base and the cleanable part. In addition, the blade surface of the scraper can be lowered relative to the structure of the scraper, so that Knife The sheet is moved relative to the cleanable part and the base part, but the scraper is kept at the same relative position relative to the rail and the cleanable part and the base part.

Because of its moisture content and low viscosity, it uses a chemical and timepiece that optimizes viscosity when wet to compensate for viscosity loss. . On the other hand, if a component with a chemical composition that is excellent in wetness is reduced due to lack of moisture ..., the loss of viscosity is compensated by the optimized viscosity when dry. Cheng (,, and the components of these components can be "sticky when dry, and" sticky when wet, "or" being human, "and the combination of components can make the composite material segmented. Form areas with different characteristics so that the material has a substantially non-uniform composition.

AT ______B7 _____ 5. Description of the Invention (34) Purpose and bifunctional comonomers such as pressure sensitive polysiloxane derivatives. The second field of the top layer 11 is a non-sticky water-repellent field of low surface energy. The non-sticky water-repellent field includes, for example, polyalkylfluoroacrylate, propionate-terminated fluoropropenamine or sulfonium Amines (luminosul fonamide), polysiloxanes derived from one or two propionate groups, celluloses derived from acrylates, styrene butadiene copolymers or propionate acrylates Or methyl acetate. These methyl acrylates may include, for example, cyclohexanepropionate, borneol, methyl acrylate, or isopropyl methyl acrylate (ί3〇1) 〇; Γη7ΐ methacrylate). It is a hydrophilic field, which may be, for example, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, polyacrylic acid, methacrylic acid and its salts, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacetal resin, and unsaturated dicarboxylic acid polyamide. , Polyester and polyimide. In the top layer 11, the viscous domain may be crosslinked and the hydrophilic domain may be crosslinked. The crosslink densities are 5 to 20 mole%, respectively. The material of the top layer is in the state of elastomer or bast in the temperature range used by the floor mat. The ideal glass transition temperature range is 5 to 25 ° C. In the top layer 11, a plurality of viscous fields are interspersed with a plurality of hydrophilic fields. The 'hydrophilic field' makes the viscosity of the top layer 11 in a dry state approximately equal to the viscosity of the top layer 11 in a wet state to adjust the overall viscosity of the top layer 11. One of the functions of the low surface energy water repellent field is to prevent a continuous water layer from forming on the top layer and thereby increase the drainage rate. The water-repellent field also enhances the dependence of the viscosity of the top layer on pressure, thereby reducing the viscosity when there is a lack of strength, which helps to prevent over-production when the floor mat is used to apply pressure.

The overall shape of the permanent bonding layer 11 is micelle-like (m 丨 c e 1 1 e r), in which the water-repellent area is located on or near the surface of the layer, and the hydrophilic and adhesive areas are located below the surface of the layer. The hydrophilic and sticky areas migrate to the surface under wet conditions and together provide the stickiness needed to absorb dust, bacteria and the like from the cleaned shoes or other surfaces, and help prevent sticky surfaces from wetting Slipping. When manufacturing the top layer 11, solvent-induced crystallization can be used to enhance the formation of the field. Depending on the method of manufacture and assembly of the adhesive part chosen, it may be further enhanced by selective orientation of the field during the extrusion, lamination or application process of the top layer 11. In addition to the above-mentioned top layer, the multilayer assembly may also include at least one water-repellent layer 12. The water-repellent layer 12 may be adjacent to the top layer u on one side, and the water-repellent layer 12 may be made of a water-repellent copolymer. Examples of the water-repellent copolymer include methyl methacrylate copolymer, phenethyl butadiene Copolymers and polyalkyl or polyarylarylsiloxanes. The water-repellent layer 12 may be bonded to the top layer 11 by, for example, an acrylic acid adhesive. The glass-transition temperature of the water-repellent layer may be in the range of 5 to 150. The water-repellent layer 12 is designed to efficiently transport water from the top layer n. The composition of the water-repellent layer 12 is selected to reduce the solubility in water as much as possible and increase the diffusivity in the water-repellent lip 12 as much as possible. Based on this factor, it is particularly necessary to use the polysiloxane which is a constituent of the 'water repellent layer 12', because the function required for this layer is to promote drainage and keep it dry, so it is also necessary to minimize the water repellent layer ^ Swelling characteristics. -39- This book has a wattage standard of 3 countries (CMS) A4 specification (210 X '297 public goods) 1238707 ~ ^ ---- B7 ____ 5. Description of the invention (36) On the side adjacent to the top layer 11 On the opposite side, the water-repellent layer 12 may be adjacent to a hydrophilic layer 13 made of polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylic acid resin, polyhydroxy esters, or ammonium imine. The cross-linking density of the hydrophilic layer 13 may be between 10 and 30 mol%, and the glass transition temperature thereof may be in a range of −30aCs10t. The hydrophilic layer 13 can absorb the water transported by the water-repellent layer 12. The hydrophilic layer 13 can be bonded to adjacent layers. The absorption of water by the hydrophilic layer can increase the thickness. The composition of the hydrophilic layer and the cross-linking density can be selected to leave this layer in place. Double the weight of water (200% larger than serving). A function of the hydrophilic layer is to serve as a water reservoir when water is slowly removed by evaporation, while carefully controlling the crosslinking density and function of the hydrophilic layer without improperly retaining water. The multilayer assembly 10 may further include a bottom layer 14 to contact a floor. The bottom layer 14 may be made of a waterproof and non-slip polymer, such as polyurethane, styrene butadiene copolymer or polycarbonate. Other materials suitable for forming the underlying i 4 include malonate-terminated aromatic polyurethanes and epoxides. The bottom layer 14 can be highly crosslinked (for example, 10 to 50 mol%), and its glass transition temperature (if measurable) can be 5 ° C or lower, and in any case, 10 ° C or lower. The bottom layer 14 can be formed with a high surface energy, and even if a water film appears on the floor surface, it will not lose all its affinity for a floor surface. If multi-layer assembly 10 is used as a separate floor mat, the bottom layer 4 will be particularly useful. On the other hand, if the same non-adhesive part uses a multilayer assembly 10 as an insert, the bottom layer 4 may not appear. Instead, it is possible to use an adhesive on one surface of the hydrophilic layer 13 to contact the non-adhesive portion, thereby ensuring that the multilayer assembly 10 adheres to the non-adhesive portion. -40- The long scale of this paper applies to the Chinese National Standard (CMS) A4 specification (: 210 X 297 male ¢) 1238707 A7 B7 V.

The multilayer assembly 10 may be embossed with a pattern to increase surface area, and may be provided with a patterned hole (2 to 10 mm in diameter) for drainage. Each of the above layers can be manufactured separately and then combined using conventional methods to assemble a multilayer assembly 10. Alternatively, for example, the top layer 11 may be manufactured first, and then other layers may be continuously applied or bonded to the top layer 11 and each other. According to other alternative embodiments, the top layer 11 may include a material having a homogeneous composition. A homogeneous composition means that the material is not divided into various fields, but has finer particles to make the material have a chemical property that is substantially fixed in the material. These chemical properties allow the material to absorb water while maintaining viscosity. For example, a material such as a block copolymer or a graft copolymer can be used to make a material having a uniform composition in the top layer 11. These polymers may be pressure-sensitive adhesives coated or grafted with a hydrophilic monomer and then further grafted with monofluoropropionate. Alternatively, the material of the homogeneous composition may include a mixture of a pressure-sensitive adhesive and a hydrophilic filler such as water-binding fibers or microspheres. As mentioned above, the multilayer assembly can be perforated to improve drainage. Figure 24 shows a perforation pattern formed in the multilayer assembly 15 containing the above four layers. The circular hole 16 is punched, cut or drilled through all four. Layers, although circular holes are shown as examples, they can also have holes of any shape.

These fibers are formed from 4 or more flashes (r Ms &gt; · \ .I from GI: "I 1238707 &amp; Invention Description U8) or man-made materials. The fibers in the water absorbing layer 92 are oriented along the width of the pad, so that the space between the fibers and the fibers themselves forms a passageway that extends across the width of the pad. A bottom layer 94 of the pad 88 contains a rigid material (such as rubber or plastic) and provides a non-slip effect between the bottom layer and a contacting surface. For example, when a person steps on the pad and applies weight to the top layer of the pad, it is through the path formed by the spaces between the fibers 93 and perhaps through the fibers themselves to force away excess water and moisture stored in the intermediate water absorbing layer 92 Outside of the side of the pad. Some or all of the fibers may also be located in the pad, so at a point on or near a center of the pad, a fiber is slightly higher than the end of the pathway on the entire side, thereby creating a fiber within the iron dimension. Angle, this can drain water out of the pad without applying weight to the pad and also additionally helps to drain water on the pad surface by applying weight.
