The assembly 50 includes a body 1, a first convex portion 2f, and a second convex portion 3f. The first convex portion 2f and the second convex portion 3f each include a through hole 4. The assembly 50 is similar to the assembly 10 and assembly 20 except for the shape of the first projection 2f and the second projection 3f. The first convex portion 2f and the second convex portion 3f of the assembly 50 are semicircular or semi-elliptical. Figure 1F is a top plan view showing the interconnection of the two components 50. The first surface 1a of one of the two components 50 faces upward, and the second surface 1b of the other component 50 faces upward. Because the first convex portion 2f and the second convex portion 3f of the assembly 50 are semicircular or semi-elliptical, the angle θ of the components 50 when connected to each other may not be 90° or 180°, and the angle θ may be between 30° and 330°. For example, 60°, 110°, 160°, 210° or 280°.

In some embodiments, the length of assembly 10, assembly 20, assembly 30, assembly 40, and assembly 50 (including body 1, first protrusion 2 (or 2e, 2f) and second protrusion 3 (or 3e, 3f) )) each between 30-100 cm, such as 50 cm, 70 cm or 90 cm. The width W1 of the body 1 is between 5 and 20 cm, for example 10 cm. The body 1 has a thickness of between 5 and 20 cm, such as 10 cm or 15 cm. The length of the first projection 2 extending from the first side is between 3 and 15 cm, such as 5 cm or 10 cm. When the length of the body 1 is too long or the width is too thin, the formed assembly 10 or 20 is relatively fragile. When the length of the body 1 is too short, the number of fixing elements required for subsequent assembly (shown in Figures 4A-4B) may be excessive, and when the width of the body 1 is too wide, the degree of freedom in the assembly of the steps is limited.

As shown in FIG. 1G, in certain embodiments, the first surface 1a of the assembly 10, assembly 20, assembly 30, assembly 40, and/or assembly 50 can have a surface pattern 8a.

In certain embodiments, the second surface 1b of the assembly 10, assembly 20, assembly 30, assembly 40, and/or assembly 50 has a plurality of grooves 5 that extend in a direction perpendicular to the first direction A1. The grooves 5 contribute to the thermal processing efficiency of the assembly 10 during forming and enhance the drainage function of the combined walkway. In one implementation In the example, the cross-sectional shape of the groove 5 in the first direction may be semicircular, triangular (V-shaped), square, or a combination thereof. In another embodiment, the extending direction of the groove 5 may be perpendicular to the first direction and not perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the groove 5 may have a wave shape and be in an equilibrium position with the extending direction. For example, the depth of the groove 5 is between 10% and 50%, such as 15%, 20%, 30% or 40% of the thickness of the body 1. When the depth of the groove 5 is too shallow, there is no drainage function, and when the depth is too deep, the body 1 is easily broken due to the crack effect. For example, the width of the groove 5 is between 0.5-20% of the length of the body 1, such as 1%, 3%, 5%, 8%, 10%, 13%, 15% or 18%. If the width of the groove 5 is too small, the foreign matter may be clogged and the drainage may be hindered. If the groove is too large, the surface of the trail of the subsequent composition may be too uneven.

In an embodiment, the number of water conduits 9 is between 0 and 20, such as 3, 8, or 15. In another embodiment, the water conduit 9 has a diameter between 0.5 and 4 cm, such as 1 cm or 3 cm. In still another embodiment, the extending direction of the water guiding hole 9 and the first surface 1a are between 15 and 45 degrees, for example. Such as 20 ° or 30 °, in order to facilitate the discharge of water. In some embodiments, the cross section of the water guiding hole 9 perpendicular to the first surface 1a may be circular, elliptical or square.

As shown in FIG. 1J, in some embodiments, the plane in which the body 1 extends perpendicular to the groove 5 is a section 1A. The total area of the section 5A of the groove 5 and the area of the section 9A of the water guiding hole 9 account for 15 to 60% of the area of the section 1A, for example, 20%, 30%, 40% or 50%, wherein the area of the section 1A includes The area of the section 5A of the groove 5 and the area of the section 9A of the water guiding hole 9. If the total area of the sections 5A and 9A is less than 15% of the area of the section 1A, the drainage function will be significantly insufficient. If the total area of the sections 5A and 9A is greater than 60% of the area of the section 1A, the structural strength of the body 1 will be insufficient, thereby reducing the weight that can be withstood when forming the trail.

In some embodiments, the assembly 10, the assembly 20, the assembly 30, the assembly 40, and/or the assembly 50 each comprise 60-89% by weight of polyethylene (polyethylene), polypropylene (PP), or a combination thereof; A thermoplastic polymer added in an amount of 10 to 30% by weight; and 1 to 10% by weight of a metal.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has good toughness, light weight, wear resistance, good impact resistance and acid and alkali resistance.

The top view profile of the permeable brick 30 coincides with the top view profile on the inside of the frame. In some embodiments, at least one permeable brick 30 can be used to fill the accommodating space. In some embodiments, before laying the permeable brick 30, the mud sand layer and/or the gravel layer may be laid on the bottom of the accommodating space, and then the permeable brick 30 may be laid on the mud sand layer and/or the gravel layer.

In some embodiments, a plurality of components 20 can also be used to form a frame (not shown) of the combined walkway, the combined walkway comprising the assembly 20, the fixing element 7 and the water permeable brick 30, wherein the first convex of each component 20 Department 2 and adjacent The second projections 3 of the assembly 20 are mated so that the first surface 1a of each assembly 20 and the first surface 1a of the adjacent assembly 20 are substantially flush. After the pairing of the first convex portion 2 of each component 20 and the second convex portion 3 of the adjacent component 20 is superposed, the perforations 4 of the first convex portion 2 and the second convex portion 3 which are paired and overlapped may completely overlap or partially The coincidence allows the fixing member 7 to fix the components 20 through the perforations 4 of the first and second projections 2 and 2 which are overlapped. The combined walkway has an accommodating space within the frame that can be used to configure the permeable brick 30. The top view profile of the permeable brick 30 coincides with the top view profile on the inside of the frame. In some embodiments, at least one permeable brick 30 can be used to fill the accommodating space. In some embodiments, before laying the permeable brick 30, the mud sand layer and/or the gravel layer may be laid on the bottom of the accommodating space, and then the permeable brick 30 may be laid on the mud sand layer and/or the gravel layer. It will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the permeable brick 30 can also be used to fill the containment space of the frame formed by the assembly 30, assembly 40 or assembly 50.

Figure 7 is a schematic illustration of a combined walkway in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention. The combined walkway 300 can be arranged not only in a plane but also in a partially stacked manner.

In summary, embodiments of the present invention provide a combined walkway and components thereof that are free to design an assembly walkway that is lightweight and durable.

The features of the several embodiments are summarized above so that those skilled in the art can better understand the aspects of the invention. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be readily utilized as a basis for designing or modifying other processes and structures for the same purpose and/or implementation of the embodiments described herein. The same advantage. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the spirit and scope of the invention, and various changes, substitutions and alterations of the invention may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. .
