Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a floor plate, and in particular to a floor plate that can be used for an elevated floor. Background Art

[0002] Existing elevated floors are mainly assembled by a combination of tripods, beams, floor panels, etc., and are generally installed in buildings. The existing elevated floors mainly use multiple tripods to support multiple floor panels on the ground of the building, so that telephone lines, network cables, electric wires and other lines can be laid and hidden in the space formed between the ground and the elevated floor, thereby maintaining the neatness and beauty of the interior space of the building.

[0003] Another function of the raised floor is to vertically direct the air treated by the high-efficiency filter on the top of the clean room into the return air duct under the raised floor, thereby forming a vertical airflow pattern in the clean room and playing a role in cleaning the air.

[0004] The strength of the floor panels of traditional elevated floors is low, and they are prone to wear, deformation and damage after long-term use. Therefore, new floor panels need to be replaced. In addition, new elevated floors are also required when old factories are expanded. The old batch-built elevated floors have the same height of the brackets and the uniform thickness of the floor panels. When replacing the new floor panels or expanding the new floor panels, at least part of the new floor panels must share the old brackets. If the thickness of the new floor panels is inconsistent with that of the old floor panels, it will affect the surface flatness. If the surface is uneven, it will affect the convenience and safety of people moving and transporting goods on the elevated floor.

[0005] Therefore, in the technical field of elevated floor construction, how to connect the new and old floor panels in the most convenient, economical and reliable way has become one of the problems that technicians in this field want to actively solve. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a floor plate for an elevated floor, which can maintain the overall flatness of the ground when connecting with an old floor plate in the most convenient, economical and reliable way.

[0007] To achieve at least one of the above advantages or other advantages, the present invention provides a floor panel for an elevated floor. The floor panel includes a support plate and a frame.

[0008] The carrier plate is a tread panel.

[0009] The frame is connected to the support plate, and the lower edge of the frame is provided with a plurality of protrusions extending downward, and the protrusions are arranged along the corners of the frame.

[0010] The carrier plate may be square. The height of the protrusion in the frame may be less than half the height of the frame. If the carrier plate is square, the frame may have four protrusions corresponding to the corners of the square carrier plate.

[0011] In order to enhance the structural strength, a plurality of transverse ribs and a plurality of longitudinal ribs may be provided in the frame, and the transverse ribs and the longitudinal ribs are arranged alternately.

[0012] The height of the protrusion in the frame can be adjusted according to the thickness of the floor board body. The height of the protrusion can be adjusted to a convex, concave or flat shape by cutting, grinding and other means according to actual conditions.

[0013] The protrusion can be removed by cutting or grinding to form a concave structure in the support area. The protrusion in the frame is the support area, which is used to form the position where the protrusion contacts the tripod.

[0014] The protrusion can also be removed by cutting or grinding to form a flat surface in the support area.

[0015] Furthermore, the protrusion in the frame may further include a first portion and a second portion, and the first portion and the second portion are vertically L-shaped, which has sufficient strength to cope with external stress and resist deformation.

[0016] Therefore, the present invention provides a floor panel for an elevated floor, which can maintain the overall flatness of the ground when connecting to an old floor panel in the most convenient, economical and reliable manner by adjusting the height of the protruding portion.

[0032] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is a perspective view of a floor plate 10 for a raised floor according to the present invention. To achieve at least one of the above advantages or other advantages, an embodiment of the present invention provides a floor plate 10 for a raised floor. Figure 1 As can be seen in the example, the floor panel body 10 includes a carrier plate 12 , a frame 14 and ribs 18 . The frame 14 further includes a protrusion 16 . The ribs 18 further include a transverse rib 1801 and a longitudinal rib 1802 .

[0033] The carrier plate 12 is a tread panel. As shown in the figure, the carrier plate 12 can be square. The square carrier plate 12 is easy to install and transport, and the old floor panels 10 are mostly square, so it is easy to connect.

[0034] The frame 14 is connected to the carrier plate 12. In this embodiment, the frame 14 is integrally formed by casting, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The lower edge of the frame 14 has a plurality of protrusions 16 extending downward, and the protrusions 16 are arranged along the corners of the frame 14. In the illustrated example, the frame 14 has four protrusions 16, which are respectively located at the corners of the frame 14.

[0035] In terms of design, the height of the protrusion 16 in the frame 14 can be less than half of the height of the frame 14. According to the metal material of the floor plate 10, the protrusion 16 less than half of the height of the frame 14 will have a more ideal material and support strength and take into account sufficient height correction distance. In order to achieve a smooth surface of the final elevated floor, the height of the protrusion 16 can be adjusted according to the required thickness of the floor plate 10, such as cutting, grinding, etc. to change the height of the protrusion 16, so that it is easy to match the height of the old elevated floor.

[0036] To enhance the structural strength, a plurality of ribs 18 may be provided in the frame 14 . The plurality of ribs 18 are composed of transverse ribs 1801 and longitudinal ribs 1802 . The transverse ribs 1801 and the longitudinal ribs 1802 are alternately arranged in the frame 14 and may be connected to part or all of the support plate 12 or the frame 14 .

[0037] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 It is a partial enlarged view of the protrusion 16 of the present invention. Figure 2 As can be seen in the example, the protrusion 16 includes a first portion 22 and a second portion 24, and the first portion 22 and the second portion 24 are vertically L-shaped. The L-shaped combination has sufficient strength to cope with external stress to resist deformation. The first portion 22 and the second portion 24 of the protrusion 16 constitute a support area 20, and the support area 20 is used to form a position where the protrusion 16 contacts the foot stand 30. The support area 20 can be used to directly place the protrusion 16 of the floor plate body 10 on the upper end of the foot stand 30, and can further be fixed to the foot stand 30 by screws.

[0038] See also Figure 3A , Figure 3A A side view of a first embodiment of the protrusion 16 of the present invention. Figure 3A The example includes an old floor panel 26, a floor panel 10 of the present invention, and a stand 30. Figure 3A It can be seen that because the floor panel 10 is thicker than the old floor panel 26, the protrusion 16 can be removed by cutting or grinding to form a concave structure in the support area 20, so that the old floor panel 26 and the floor panel 10 can be set on the same foot frame 30 and still maintain the flatness of the overall surface of the elevated floor.

[0039] Further, combined with Figure 3A See also Figure 3B , Figure 3B is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a first embodiment of the protrusion 16 of the present invention, Figure 3B The example includes a carrier plate 12, a frame 14 and ribs 18, the frame 14 further includes a protrusion 16, and the ribs 18 further include a transverse rib 1801 and a longitudinal rib 1802. Figure 3A and Figure 3BIt can be seen that both the old floor board 26 and the floor board 10 of the present invention can be set on the same upper end of the foot frame 30. Since the height (h) of the floor board 10 of the present invention in this embodiment is relatively high, the protrusion 16 can be cut or ground off during manufacturing to make the four corner supports of the frame 14 present a concave structure. By adjusting the height of the protrusion 16, the floor board 10 and the part of the old floor board 26 placed on the foot frame 30 can maintain the same thickness, so that the floor board 10 can better connect with the old floor board 26 to maintain the overall flatness of the elevated floor.

[0040] See also Figure 4A , Figure 4A A side view of a second embodiment of the protrusion 16 of the present invention. Figure 4A The example includes an old floor panel 26, a floor panel 10 of the present invention, and a stand 30. Figure 4A It can be seen that because the floor panel 10 is thinner than the old floor panel 26, the protrusion 16 has a convex structure, so that the old floor panel 26 and the floor panel 10 can be installed on the same foot frame 30 and the overall surface of the elevated floor can still be kept flat.

[0041] Further, combined with Figure 4A See also Figure 4B , Figure 4B is a perspective schematic diagram of a second embodiment of the protrusion 16 of the present invention, Figure 4B The example includes a carrier plate 12, a frame 14 and ribs 18, the frame 14 further includes a protrusion 16, and the ribs 18 further include a transverse rib 1801 and a longitudinal rib 1802. Figure 4A and Figure 4B It can be seen that both the old floor board 26 and the floor board 10 of the present invention can be set on the upper end of the same foot frame 30. Since the height (h) of the floor board 10 of the present invention in this embodiment is relatively small, the upper protrusion 16 is manufactured to make the floor board 10 present a convex structure, and the height of the protrusion 16 is less than half the height of the frame 14. By adjusting the height of the protrusion 16, the protrusion 16 can be cut or ground to a certain extent according to the height of the old floor board 26, so that the floor board 10 and the part of the old floor board 26 placed on the foot frame 30 can maintain the same thickness, so that the floor board 10 can be better connected with the old floor board 26 to maintain the overall flatness of the elevated floor.

[0042] See also Figure 5A , Figure 5A A side view of a third embodiment of the protrusion 16 of the present invention. Figure 5A The example includes an old floor panel 26, a floor panel 10 of the present invention, and a stand 30. Figure 5AIt can be seen that because the floor panel 10 and the old floor panel 26 are exactly the same thickness, the protrusion 16 can be removed by cutting or grinding to form a plane in the support area 20, so that the old floor panel 26 and the floor panel 10 can be set on the same top of the footrest 30 and still maintain the flatness of the overall surface of the elevated floor.

[0043] Further, combined with Figure 5A See also Figure 5B , Figure 5B is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a third embodiment of the protrusion 16 of the present invention, Figure 5B The example includes a carrier plate 12, a frame 14 and ribs 18, the frame 14 further includes a protrusion 16, and the ribs 18 further include a transverse rib 1801 and a longitudinal rib 1802. Figure 5A and Figure 5B It can be seen that both the old floor board 26 and the floor board 10 of the present invention can be set on the upper end of the same foot frame 30. Since the height (h) of the floor board 10 of the present invention in this embodiment is exactly the same, the protrusion 16 can be cut or ground off during manufacturing to form a plane of the floor board 10, so that the protrusion 16 is consistent with the frame 14. By adjusting the protrusion 16, the height of the protrusion 16 is set according to the height of the old floor board 26, and the protrusion 16 is cut or ground off so that the height of the top of the protrusion 16 is equal to the height of the top of the frame 14, so that the floor board 10 and the old floor board 26 placed on the foot frame 30 can maintain the same thickness, so that the floor board 10 can be better connected with the old floor board 26 to maintain the overall flatness of the elevated floor.

[0044] In the existing elevated floors, the old batch-built elevated floors have a consistent height of the legs 30 and a uniform thickness of the floor panels. When replacing a new floor panel 10 or expanding a new floor panel 10, since at least part of the new floor panel 10 must share the old legs 30, if the thickness between the new floor panel 10 and the old floor panel 26 is inconsistent, it will affect the surface flatness. If the surface is uneven, it will affect the convenience and safety of people moving and transporting goods on the elevated floor. Therefore, the present invention provides an adjustable protrusion 16 to solve the surface flatness problem.

[0045] Therefore, the present invention provides a floor panel 10 for an elevated floor, which can maintain the overall flatness of the ground when connecting to an old floor panel 26 by adjusting the height of the protrusion 16 in the most convenient, economical and reliable manner.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this profession can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of equivalent changes by using the methods and technical contents disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
