TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to a method for manufacturing artificial pavement which helps to improve global warming, and more particularly, artificial flooring consisting of an underground ecological graduation layer and an artificial water permeable surface layer that allows rainwater to be efficiently and effectively conducted to the underground graduation layer to effect rainwater storage and reduction of surface flooding and also form an excellent environment of land-spread of the ecological graduation layer for microbial and protozoan strains of land for biological diversity, thus helping to keep the soil moist and thus performing regulation of temperature and humidity of the environment and improvement of land quality . b) Description of the prior art

Generally, the conventional concrete paving construction is done by pouring a sufficient amount of cement mortar into the soil, leveling the cement mortar and then setting the brick slabs over them, to thereby form the specific artificial paving. Conventional paving is specifically made of a specific combination of bricks, and the truth is that it is generally impermeable to water. Although in reality it is permeable to water, the specific pores are easily blocked. In addition, the truth is that it can generate calcium oxide, which blocks the pores and can not be removed and cleaned, so that the permeability of water can get much lower than the rate of precipitation. When rainwater is accumulated in the soil, if it can not be discharged efficiently in the lower soil, flood disasters can easily result from the accumulation of a large amount of precipitation.

In the construction of regular roads or in urban areas, paving of the construction site is often done as a layer of surface waterproof surface paving. This prevents the bottom soil from contacting the existing atmosphere above the paving and replenishing groundwater with the precipitation blocked. This causes damage to the environment. Apparently, such concrete paving structure that is impermeable to water is not ideal. In cities, when it rains, the soil surface lacks sufficient water permeation and therefore, most rainwater must be drained through non-urban sewage systems. Rainwater can finally be collected in the main underground channels of sewage systems to be released into the seas or oceans. This is just a water of natural rainwater resources. In addition, rainwater, once driven to a low-lying area, can result in flood disasters.

As the soil has the function of absorbing water and vaporizing the humidity when coming into contact with the atmosphere in a dry or hot environment to generate a heat-exchange effect with the atmosphere and automatically regulate the humidity in order to avoid the occurrence of the island effect of heat.

It is known that without efficient water permeability, drainage of rainwater at the soil surface will become poor. Thus, it is important to construct a graduated layer that is effective in maintaining water permeability and water preservation. In addition, to improve the terrestrial and ecological environment on earth, an environment that is beneficial to the microorganisms and protozoa of the land that inhabit it. The microorganisms that inhabit the land usually include bacteria (eubacteria and archers), fungi (filamentous fungi and yeasts) and algae. Earth protozoans include, for example, amoeba and ciliates. There are a large number of ciliates on Earth and they contribute greatly to the decomposition of organic substances. Insects, including ants, caterpillars, aphids and mites, help to move the soil or digest parts of the body's residual body and thus provide organic substances. Earthworms can help in the formation of soil pellets, which are good for air ventilation and water drainage. Nematodes help digest organic matter or other small creatures. There are also vertebrates that inhabit the earth, like mice, which dig and release the soil, and provide excrement to fertilize the earth. They are also members of an underground food chain.

Land micro-organisms play an important role in maintaining the quality of the land. The existence of terrestrial organisms is a vital factor for the change and quality of the terrestrial environment.

Studies show that the importance of microorganisms to the soil is as follows: (1) decomposition of organic substances and performance of mineralization by complete decomposition of organic substances into nutrients; (2) fixation of nitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere and conversion to NH3, serving as useful nitrogen resources for organisms; (3) nitrification induction, which converts NH4 + to nitrogen nitrite (NO2-), and nitrate nitrate (NO3-) for easy absorption by plants; (4) performing denitrification, which converts N03 into N20 and N2; (5) triggering the dissolution of coupled or fixed chemical compounds of, for example, phosphorus, sulfur, iron and manganese; and (6) interaction with other microorganisms in the soil, which play an important role in the survival of other microorganisms in the environment.

Thus, building a good environment for the mass propagation of terrestrial microorganisms is beneficial for land improvement. In addition, forming a water conservation gradient layer under an artificial paving layer allows for mutual contact with an upper surface of the water permeable paving layer. Through mutual contact between the soil and the atmosphere, the heat exchange due to humidity and temperature is conducted like breathing, helping to drain water efficiently and eliminating the potential risk of accumulation of water on the surface, providing a practical effect .

In view of the above subject matter, the present invention aims to provide a method for the manufacture of artificial paving that helps to improve global warming and allows the construction of concrete pavement that shows water permeability and environmental protection to allow the Graduation layers become an ecological graduation, a layer to activate organic substances contained in the soil and improve the problem of global warming.

Prior art documents are known, such as W02005 / 113900 AI and W002 / 40784 A2. W02005 / 113900 AI discloses an environmental water resource recycling system comprising a plurality of drainage pipe units buried in a concrete layer to allow rainwater to flow through the concrete layer to drain rain water into a layer of sand for recycling rainwater. Document W002 / 40784 A2 discloses a sub-base drainage device which is used to replace gravel or crushed rock in a drainage bed. The drainage device comprises hollow spherical shells with holes formed therein to provide greater water carrying capacity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The following descriptions are only exemplary embodiments, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the described elements without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

Referring to Fig. 1, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing artificial paving which helps to improve global warming, which comprises, after leveling the soil surface, the placement of an ecological graduation layer 10. The ecological graduation layer 10 may be ground and / or in-place grade of commonly used road construction material, including aggregates, soils, gravels, a water permeable concrete mix, and additionally and of importance, comprising single hollow bodies 11. All components constituents are mixed and placed on the bottom and then, after pressurizing for compaction, an interface layer 20 is selectively and further defined therein. The interface layer 20 may comprise a nonwoven fabric piece or a web, or a layer of sand. At the top of the interface layer 20, a drainage layer 30 is placed. The drainage layer is composed of gravel (or crushed stones) or sand or a combination of both. Finally, a water permeable paving layer 40 is placed in the drainage layer 30. With such an arrangement, rainwater falling on the soil surface can permeate all the artificially placed soil layers to penetrate a groundwater layer 60 under underground stratum 50, where by rainwater can be conducted to underground subsoil 60 deep underground to serve as supplementary underground resources and also, graduation layers can be modified to serve as a layer of ecological graduation 10 , which when used in combination with the water permeable paving layer 40 provides versatile functions and also forms an excellent survival environment for soil microorganisms and soil protozoa. The interface layer 20 and drainage layer 30 may be used individually or in combination. Alternatively, the water permeable paving layer 40 is placed directly over the ecological graduation layer 10, and the interface layer 20 and the drainage layer 30 are selectively added according to the actual drainage of the water from the construction site to perform similar effects of water drainage and protection against global warming.

Referring to Figs. 2 and 3, the water permeable paving layer 40 (as shown in Fig. 1) comprises a structure composed of a plurality of drain pipes 41 for draining water, an upper connecting structure 42, a lower connecting structure 43, a sealing cover block 44, condensation of pipes 45 having an air storage function and a water reservoir 46. The condensation pipe 45 provides a function of storage and preservation of air, whereby in case of flooding of the large area , a survival space is maintained which supplies air to underground microorganisms. Each of the drain pipes 41 has a top end portion forming a reduced diameter section 411 and a bottom end portion forming a retaining ring 412 and a retaining wedge 413 (see Fig 4). The reduced diameter section 411 at the upper end of the tube drain 41 may be directly engaged in a barrel 421 formed in the frame of the top connection 42, while the lower end of the drain tube may engage a collar 431 formed in the lower frame portion of the connector 43 to allow the collar 431 received and retained between the retaining ring 412 and the retaining wedge 413. The drainage pipes 41 are hollow members. During pouring of the cement slurry or cement slurry to safely retain the kneading carton of the cap 44 and preventing the mixing of the unwanted cement from filling and thereby blocking the drainage tubes, a plurality of sealing caps 441 is formed on the undersurface of the blade 44 so that during pouring of the cement mixture, the sealing lids 441 which are engaged in the upper openings of the drain pipes 41 prevent mixing of the fill cement and thereby lock the tubes ( see Fig. 3). The blade and lids may then be removed after mixing the cast cement to cure into solid and to form a water permeable paving layer constructed of concrete.

Referring to Fig. 4, the condensation tube 45 having the air storage function is constructed such that, as shown in the embodiment shown in the drawings, an outer tube 414 is engaged and coupled to a drain tube 41 The outer tube 414 has a top forming an orifice 4141. The outer tube 414 forms a circumferential space 4142, so that the combination of a drain tube 41 and an outer tube 414 forms a drainage tube structure which is capable of water drainage, ventilation and condensation and collection. In an alternative embodiment, the circumferential gap 4142 may be formed as being delimited by an inner surface of an outer tube and an outer surface of a drain tube when the outer tube and drain tubing are combined together.

Referring to Fig 5, the water reservoir 46 is coupled to one end, particularly the lower end, of a drain pipe 41. Structurally, the water reservoir 46 comprises an upper lid 461 and a base box 462. The lid 461 has a top former, an aperture 4611, and a collar 4612 is formed along a circumference of the top cover. The top cover 461 has an outside diameter larger than an outside diameter of the base housing 462 and this helps to prevent cement mortar or slurry from entering the base casing during injection or to prevent sand from draining layer between in the base box. The base box 462 comprises a central tube 4621 and a circumferential gap 4622 about the central tube. The base casing has a top-forming spaced-apart projection 4623. The central tube 4621 has an inner surface on which the raised ribs 4624 are formed to assist in retaining the base casing 462 when the base casing is fitted to the end the drain pipe 41 and the reservoir 46 are combined together to form a drainage pipe structure which is capable of draining water, air ventilation and water storage / preservation. The punctual projections 4623 operate to provide a gap for the water ingress of the passageway between the top cover 461 and the base case 422 when engaged in one another. In an alternative embodiment, the central tube 4621 is formed so that an upper end of the central tube is located higher than the top of the outer circumferential wall of the base case 422, so that when the cap 616 and box 4, 62 are engaged with one another, and a space is formed to serve as a passageway for the water inlet.

Referring to Figs. 6 and 7, the ecological graduation layer 10 is generally formed of hollow bodies 11, in combination of non-local soil, including aggregates, soils, gravels or a mixture of water-permeable concrete, and additionally and selectively comprising other graduation materials which are of no harm to the environment, such as clay particles. The hollow bodies 11 having unique functions are preferably in the form of a sphere, as a spherical structure is more resistant to compressive stresses in any direction and provides voids for the graduation layer. However, other forms that can be readily manufactured can also be adopted. The hollow body 11 is composed of two halves, each constituting a casing member 111. Preferably, the hollow body is made of plastic, but may be made of other materials traditionally used. The housing members of the hollow body are made of a thick wall and each housing member 111 forms a plurality of through apertures 112. The hollow bodies 11 used in the present invention may be made as hollow engineering bodies for different uses, such as a hollow body of water storage of disaster prevention, or a hollow body of earth improvement or a hollow body of culture of microorganisms or a hollow body of water maintenance, or any type of hollow body that meets the need of use. The hollow water storage body for disaster prevention, as shown in the embodiment shown in the drawings, comprises two shell members 111, which are combined with one another to form a hollow body carrying apertures 112 formed therein. Thus, when hollow bodies are mixed in the graduation layer in the case of extremely high precipitation, when the water permeable paving layer 40 needs to efficiently conduct the rainwater, which leads to the immediate saturation of the water content in the layer can be guided by the openings 112 of the housings in the interior space of the hollow body, so that the possibility of flooding the surface in the related area can be avoided. With sufficient time, the penetration gradually leads the water to the groundwater stratum, and then the water received in the hollow bodies of water storage for disaster prevention is allowed slowly. This ensures an efficient drainage effect of the water to the soil surface. The earth improvement hollow body is constructed with two housing members 111, which are combined with one another to form an interior space in which a carbon-containing substance 113, such as carbon active or carbon storage storage, or an enhancement agent of the desired land for improvement of the local land is filled, so when the hollow bodies of land improvement are mixed in the grading layer, the substance contained in carbon 113 works to absorb and activate the acidifying substance or harmful substance that enters the water which penetrates downwards and passes through the improvement of the earth of the hollow bodies or that are contained in the surrounding soil, so as to realize the improvement of the quality of the earth. The microorganism-culture hollow body is composed of two shell members 111, which are combined to form an interior in which the selected microbial strains 114 are deposited to serve as an excellent culture site for a large amount of microorganisms. With the hollow bodies cultured microorganisms mixed in the grading layer, the microorganisms can be effectively grown and an improved environment is provided for propagation. The microorganisms thus cultivated can help to decompose the organic substance contained in the soil, inducing nitrification, performing denitrification and improving the ecological environment of the earth. The hollow water holding body is composed of two shell members 111 which are combined to form an interior in which a water absorbing substance 115 is filled, such as a sponge or other water absorbent material which is not decomposable by microorganisms , hollow bodies of water maintenance are mixed in the gradation layer, the water absorbing substance helps to absorb water when water flows through the hollow bodies, so as to prevent water from escaping from the earth, which ensures sufficient supply for survival and propagation of microorganisms and also improving the preservation of water and increasing the water content in the dry area. In case of high temperature on the soil surface, the high water content in the soil allows the water to be converted into steam, which is then released to exchange the heat with the environment, so that the heat can produce effect on the earth and be eliminated or relieved.

Referring to Fig 8, the water permeable paving layer 40 comprises in its structure a plurality of condensation pipes 45 having air storage function, and an upper connecting structure 42 and a lower connecting structure 43 respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the tube condensation. Each condensation tube 45 forms a circumferential space 4142. In a cold zone, when the ambient temperature is low, the vapor or moisture of the underground drainage layer 30 of which the soil has a temperature above the ambient temperature above the soil surface may be converted to condensed water 4143 on the wall surfaces of the circumferential space 4142, so that the water can be extracted from the atmosphere to perform the natural replenishment of the soil. In the event of precipitation, rainwater falling into the surface paving layer is guided by water-conducting grooves 401 into the pipe 421, flowing down the drain pipe 41, and entering the drainage layer 30, so that water can be effectively collected, preventing water from flowing directly through the sewage system to the oceans, representing a waste of water resources. In addition, in the case of extremely heavy precipitation leading to flooding, the condensation pipe 45 having water storage functions due to a closed upper end of the circumferential space 4142 forms an enclosed air storage, whereby a emergency shelter for the preservation and supply of air to microorganisms or protozoa of the earth, which, in a flooded area, can survive the drowning, taking the air preserved in the shelter. The survival of microorganisms or protozoa can guarantee quick recovery in a short period and also offer help to the organic substance contained in the soil.

Referring to Figs. 3, 5 and 9, the water permeable paving layer 40 comprises, structurally, a plurality of water reservoirs 46 which function to store and accumulate water therein and drainage tubes 41 fixed between an upper connecting structure 42 and a structure of lower connection 43 for draining water. At least one or each of the drain pipes 41 has a lower end at which each water reservoir 46 is connected (see Fig. 3). The water reservoir 46 is comprised of an upper cap 461 and a base housing 462. The base housing 462 has a central pipe 4621 having a top end which is located at a higher position or spaced-apart projections 4623 (see Figs. 9) so as to form a water inlet passage. When the drainage layer 30 is saturated with water, the water that penetrates downward is guided through the air inlet passageway to a circumferential gap 4622 formed in the water reservoir to be accumulated and stored therein. This stored water guarantees the supply of water to microorganisms or protozoa that inhabit the surrounding land in case of withdrawal for the survival of these microorganisms and protozoa. This also affects regulating the temperature and humidity of groundwater to maintain plant life and also to prevent desertification.

Referring to Figs. 10, 11 and 14, is illustrated in another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the water permeable paving layer is constructed in such a way that after leveling the soil and placing an ecological grade layer 10, a paving layer 40a of the gradient layer 10. Preferably, the paving layer 40a comprises reinforcing bars 402 and the reinforcing bars 402 are arranged in a mosaic shape or added with other reinforcing materials. The cement mortar is then poured over the reinforcement and a rigid concrete paving is formed after the cure of the mortar. Alternatively, the paving layer 40a is not formed of concrete and reinforcement and, instead, the paving layer is made of asphalt. The hole drilling tools 47 are then used to form a plurality of drainage holes 403 in the rigid paving surface. Condensation tubes 45a capable of draining water and storing air (see Fig 11) or water storage tubes 46a capable of draining water and storing water (see Fig. 14), which are made in the form of individual tubes, are used in combination or individually according to the environment of the construction site. At least one of these two tubes are selected and fitted into the drain holes 403 which are formed in advance. In this way, an artificial paving that helps to improve global warming is similarly carried out.

Referring to Figs. 11, 12 and 13, the condensation tube 45a capable of draining the water and storing air in the individual tube form shown in Fig 10 comprises, structurally, an inner tube 41a and an outer tube 414a. The inner tube 41a is a hollow tube having a top forming a circumferential flange with expanded diameter 415. The outer tube 414a has a top forming a bore 4141. The outer tube 414a has an inner wall forming an inclined inner surface 4144. The outer tube 414a has an exterior wall forming raised structures 4145. With the condensation pipes 45a suitably engaged in the drainage holes 403 formed in the paving layer 40a (as shown in Fig. 13), the paving layer 40a forms a paving layer permeable to Water. When the paving layer 40a allowing permeation of water is flooded, the ecological graduation layer 10 becomes completely saturated with water and the excess water is guided into the circumferential range 4142 (see Fig. 13). However, a quantity of air is preserved in the upper portion of the circumferential space, so a space for respiration and survival is provided to microorganisms and protozoa that inhabit the surrounding earth in case of flood. In addition, the wall surfaces of the circumferential gap between the outer tube 414a and the inner tube 41a may constitute a structure for condensing the water.

Referring to Figs. 14, 15 and 16, the storage tube 46a capable of draining water and storing water in the individual tube form shown in Fig 10 comprises, structurally, a drainage of the tube 41b to which a water reservoir 46 is connected. The water reservoir 46 is comprised of an upper cap 461 and a base box 462. The upper cap 461 has a top forming a port 4611, and a rim 4612 is formed along a circumference of the upper cap. The top cover 461 has an outer diameter greater than an outer diameter of the base case 464. The base case 464 comprises a central tube 4621 and a circumferential space 4622 about the central tube. Preferably, the base casing has a point formation spaced apart projection 4623. The central tube 4621 has an inner surface on which ribs 4624 are formed to assist in retaining the interference fit base casing made by raised ribs 4624 when the base housing 462 is fitted to one end of the water drain pipe 41b so that the water drain pipe 41b and the water reservoir 46 may be combined to form a water storage pipe 46a that is capable to drain water and store water. In the preferred embodiment, the top of the base housing 462 is provided with the protrusions of point 4623 so as to form an inlet passageway of the water. In an alternative embodiment, the central pipe 4621 is arranged to have a top A located higher than a top B of an outer wall of the base casing 462 (see Fig. 16), so that an inlet passageway of water may is formed between the top of the cap 4 61 and the base box 4 62 when they are engaged one to the other.

As shown in the embodiment of Fig 16, when the water storage pipe 46a is engaged in a drain hole 403 which is formed earlier in the paving layer 40a (see Fig. 16), the paving layer 40a is constructed as a paving layer permeable to water. Rainwater falling on the paving layer 40a that allows the permeation of water is conducted into the ecological degradation layer 10, and once the ecological graduation layer 10 becomes saturated with water, excess water is guided through the passageway of inflow into the circumferential space 4622 until it is accumulated and stored therein. Stored water can serve as a water supply for microorganisms and protozoa that inhabit the surrounding land in the event of drafts. This also affects regulating the temperature and humidity of groundwater to maintain plant life and also to prevent desertification.

If desired, an interface layer or a drainage layer, or both, may be selectively added between the ecological grade layer 10 and the water permeable paving layer 40a according to local grade quality.

Referring to Fig 17, there is shown an alternate form of the water storage tube according to the present invention, which is made in the form of an individual water storage pipe 46b capable of draining the water and storing water. The water storage pipe 46b comprises, structurally, water flowing from the pipe 41c and a base box 426 attached thereto. The water drain pipe 41c has a top having an outer circumference along which a collar 416 is formed such that the collar 416 has an outer diameter greater than an outer diameter of the base box 462. The base 462 comprises a central tube 4621 and a circumferential gap 4622. Preferably, the base carton has a top forming spaced-apart point projection 4623. The central tube 4621 has an inner surface on which ribs 4624 are formed to help retain the interference-engaging base housing made by the raised ribs 4,624 when the base housing 440 is engaged in one end of the water drain pipe 41c so that a storage tube 46b is able to drain the water and to provide storage.

In the illustrated embodiment, the top of the base box 462 is provided with the protrusions of the point 4623 so as to form a passageway of the water inlet. In an alternative embodiment, the central pipe 4621 is arranged to have a top A thereof located higher than a top B of an outer wall of the base casing 462, so that a water inlet passageway may be formed between the upper cover 461 and the base of the box 462 when they are engaged with one another.

Referring to Fig 18, in the embodiment shown and not within the scope of the claims, the ecological graduation layer 10 may be formed by soil or gradient material at the location traditionally used for road construction, which may include aggregates, soils, gravel, and a concrete mixture and may additionally comprise other grading materials which are not environmentally harmful. The graduation layer comprises hollow bodies 11, with unique functions. The hollow bodies 11 may be arranged in such a way that a plurality of hollow bodies are received and held in a net bag to form a hollow body unit contained in a bag 12. The hollow body units 12 contained in a bag can be directly placed as a graduation layer, or alternatively, the hollow body units 12 may be mixed with the soil to form a graduating layer. These also provide the same effects discussed above.

It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together, may also find useful application in other types of methods which differ from the type described above.

Although certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are set forth in the appended claim, they are not intended to be limited to the above details, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in their operation may be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the scope of the present invention as defined by the claims.
