The concave and convex patterns on the surface of 304 pattern tube can enhance the anti-slip effect by increasing the friction of the contact surface in a humid environment. When there is moisture on the surface, a layer of water film is easily formed on the smooth plane, which greatly reduces the friction between the object and the surface, thereby increasing the risk of slipping. The concave and convex patterns can break the continuity of this water film, allowing the convex part of the pattern to directly contact the contact object, while the groove part can accommodate moisture, reducing the impact of the water film on the friction, so that the contact object and the pipe surface can maintain a relatively stable friction state.
The irregular distribution of these patterns can provide effective anti-slip support in different directions. In a humid environment, the sliding direction of an object is often uncertain, and the pattern in a single direction is difficult to fully cope with. The concave and convex patterns on the surface of 304 pattern tube are mostly staggered or irregular patterns. No matter which direction the contact object moves, there will be corresponding pattern protrusions to block its sliding, forming multi-directional friction resistance, thereby reducing the possibility of slipping and enhancing the overall anti-slip performance.
The convex part of the pattern can form a stronger mechanical bite effect with the contact object. When the contact object is pressed on the surface of the pattern tube, the raised patterns will be embedded in the tiny gaps of the contact object, just like countless tiny "hooks" connecting the two together. In a humid environment, this mechanical bite can make up for the decrease in friction caused by the water film, making it difficult for the contact object to slide on the surface, especially for contact objects with a certain elasticity such as soles and tires. This bite effect is more obvious and the anti-slip effect is more prominent.
The groove part can quickly drain the water from the contact surface and reduce the adverse effect of water accumulation on anti-slip. If the water in a humid environment cannot be discharged in time, it will continue to form a lubricating layer between the contact surfaces. The groove design on the surface of the 304 pattern tube is equivalent to a micro drainage channel, which can guide the water squeezed out during contact to a place far away from the contact surface, so that the raised part always maintains direct contact with the contact object, avoiding slipping caused by water retention, and ensuring that a high friction can be maintained in a humid state.
The concave and convex patterns can increase the actual contact area between the contact object and the pipe surface. In a humid environment, the actual contact area between the smooth surface and the contact object will be reduced due to the presence of water film, while the raised part of the pattern tube can form multiple dispersed contact points with the contact object, and these contact points together constitute a larger actual contact area. The increase in contact area can effectively increase friction, and even in the presence of water, it can achieve a better anti-slip effect through the friction superposition of multiple contact points.
The rough texture of the pattern can change the force distribution of the contact surface, so that the pressure acts more evenly on the contact surface. When the contact object is on a wet and smooth surface, the pressure is easily concentrated in a local area, resulting in insufficient local friction and sliding. The concave and convex pattern of the 304 pattern tube can disperse the pressure of the contact object to each convex part, avoid pressure concentration, and allow each contact point to provide a certain friction, thereby improving the overall anti-slip effect and reducing the sliding phenomenon caused by excessive local force.
In addition, the structural stability of this concave and convex pattern is better, and it is not easy to lose the anti-slip function due to corrosion or wear in a humid environment. The 304 material itself has strong corrosion resistance and can maintain the integrity of the surface texture in a humid environment. It will not rust and damage the texture like ordinary metal pipes. At the same time, the raised part of the texture has been specially treated and has a certain wear resistance. After long-term use, it can still maintain its original shape and height, ensuring the durability of the anti-slip effect. It can play a long-term and stable anti-slip role in a humid environment.
