Method for manufacturing a side-folded type elevated floor and a system thereof

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a side-folded type elevated floor includes the steps of: providing a steel plate and defining positions of shearing lines and bending lines of the steel plate; shearing the steel plate along the shearing lines; stamping the steel plate along the bending lines to form a steel panel with a plurality of steel folds that are bendingly connected around the steel panel; and welding the adjacent steel folds to form an accommodating region; thereby a side-folded type elevated floor is formed. In this way, the amount of energy consumed in manufacturing the elevated floor can be reduced greatly, thereby conforming to the requirement for saving energy. A side-folded type elevated floor system is further provided.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an elevated floor, in particular, to a side-folded type elevated floor.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Some factories and computer rooms may be provided with elevated floors to hide computers, electric lines, or connecting lines of electric appliances. Alternatively, an air-exhausting device is provided between the elevated floor and the ground to draw dust attached to the elevated floor. The currently available elevated floor in the market is manufactured by means of die-casting molten aluminum. As shown in FIG. 1, the die-casting process for aluminum alloy involves five steps including mold-opening, aluminum-melting, die-casting, forming, and burr-removing. During the aluminum-melting step, since high temperature and large amount of energy are necessary for melting aluminum ingots, energy is consumed greatly. As a result, using the elevated floor made of aluminum alloy becomes...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009]The present invention has advantageous features as follows. Manufacturing a steel elevated floor by a press-forming process consumes less amount of energy than that in the conventional elevated floor of aluminum material, thereby conforms to the requirements for saving energy in the industry. Furthermore, in comparison with the method of the present invention, the procedure for manufacturing the conventional elevated floor of aluminum material has one more step (burr-removing) to produce accurate dimensions. Therefore, the manufacturing method of the present invention is simpler.

Problems solved by technology

During the aluminum-melting step, since high temperature and large amount of energy are necessary for melting aluminum ingots, energy is consumed greatly.

As a result, using the elevated floor made of aluminum alloy becomes uneconomical and does not conform to the requirements for saving energy in the industry.
