Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a reinforcement structure, and more particularly to a raised floor reinforcement module. Background Technology

[0002] Raised floors are floor systems installed on a raised platform, creating space between the raised floor and the ground. This space can be used for piping or return air ducts, resulting in a cleaner and more streamlined interior space. Raised floors are widely used in factory construction, such as computer rooms and cleanrooms.

[0003] Generally, raised floors are made of alloy materials (e.g., aluminum alloy) and have a certain load-bearing capacity (e.g., 300kg-600kg). However, when equipment is moved on raised floors, the weight of the equipment may exceed its load-bearing capacity, causing the raised floor to deform. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a raised floor reinforcement module has become a problem to be solved in the industry.

[0005] This invention provides a raised floor reinforcement module, comprising a plurality of raised floors, a plurality of support frames, a plurality of floor panels, and a plurality of first reinforcing plates. The plurality of support frames support the plurality of raised floors. The plurality of floor panels are adjacent to the plurality of raised floors and located on the plurality of support frames. The plurality of first reinforcing plates are located on top of the plurality of floor panels.

[0006] In some embodiments, the upper surfaces of the plurality of first reinforcing plates and the upper surfaces of the plurality of raised floors are at the same level as each other.

[0007] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the plurality of floor units is lower than the upper surface of the plurality of raised floors.

[0008] This invention also provides a raised floor reinforcement module, comprising a plurality of raised floors, a plurality of support frames, and a plurality of first reinforcing plates. The plurality of support frames support the plurality of raised floors. The plurality of first reinforcing plates are located on the upper layer of the plurality of raised floors.

[0009] In some embodiments, a plurality of second reinforcing plates are also included, located on top of the plurality of first reinforcing plates.

[0010] In some embodiments, the plurality of second reinforcing plates and the plurality of first reinforcing plates are staggered and stacked on the plurality of raised floors.

[0011] In some embodiments, a plurality of third reinforcing plates are also included, located on top of the plurality of second reinforcing plates.

[0012] In some embodiments, the plurality of first reinforcing plates, the plurality of second reinforcing plates, and the plurality of third reinforcing plates are stacked alternately on the plurality of raised floors.

[0013] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the plurality of third reinforcing plates is higher than the upper surface of the plurality of raised floors.

[0014] In some embodiments, the plurality of first reinforcing plates, the second reinforcing plates, and the plurality of third reinforcing plates are made of carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel.

[0015] In some embodiments, the area of ​​the plurality of first reinforcing plates, the plurality of second reinforcing plates, or the plurality of third reinforcing plates is greater than the unit area of ​​the plurality of raised floors.

[0016] In some embodiments, the plurality of first reinforcing plates have holes at their four corners corresponding to the plurality of floor panels, for providing screws to pass through the holes and lock onto the support plates on the plurality of support frames, thereby fixing the plurality of first reinforcing plates to the plurality of raised floor panels.

[0017] The floor and reinforced plate dimensions and structure according to embodiments of the present invention adopt a modular design, allowing for the replacement of raised floors along the movement path according to actual usage needs without disassembling the support frame. After equipment relocation is completed, the original raised floor can be replaced. This is not only convenient and fast, but also, compared to ordinary raised floors, the present invention combines the functionality of relocation with an aesthetically pleasing effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. These examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] It should be noted that in the descriptions of the various embodiments, the terms "first" and "second" are used to describe different elements, and these elements are not limited by such terms. Furthermore, for ease of explanation and clarity, the thickness or dimensions of the elements in the drawings are exaggerated, omitted, or approximated for the understanding and reading of those skilled in the art. The dimensions of each element are not exactly their actual dimensions and are not intended to limit the implementation of the invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effects and objectives achieved by the invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this invention.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the external structure of an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the raised floor reinforcement module 100 is detachably mounted on the raised floor 20. The raised floor reinforcement module 100 includes a support frame 10, the raised floor 20, the floor 30, and a first reinforcement plate 40.

[0035] The support frame 10 is located between the building floor and the raised floor 20. The support frame 10 is used to support and secure the raised floor 20. Figure 1 As shown, each set of four support frames 10 is located at the four corners of a raised floor 20, and each support frame 10 can be used to support and fix four raised floor 20 and floor 30.

[0036] The support frame 10 has a predetermined length. In some embodiments, the length of the support frame 10 can be adjusted to ensure that the supported raised floor 20 and floor 30 surfaces are flat and aesthetically pleasing, and to meet the horizontal requirements of the raised floor 20.

[0037] The raised floor 20 can be made of an alloy material, such as aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy raised floor 20 is highly stable and lightweight, facilitating construction work underneath after removal. In some embodiments, the upper surface 20a of the raised floor 20 (as shown in Figure 4) can be covered with anti-static tiles, typically made of conductive plastic. This prevents slippage or deformation due to the passage of heavy objects such as trolleys and wheelchairs within the factory, and provides excellent dust and slip resistance, effectively preventing mud and dust from being brought into the factory, thus keeping the floor clean.

[0038] Furthermore, the unit area (e.g., 600mm*600mm) and material of each raised floor 20 can be adjusted according to usage requirements. In this embodiment of the invention, "unit area" refers to the area value formed by the length of the upper surface and the width of the upper surface of the raised floor 20, floor 30, first reinforcing plate 40, second reinforcing plate 42, or third reinforcing plate 44.

[0039] Floor 30 is adjacent to raised floor 20. Floor 30 is located on support frame 10. Floor 30 has the same or similar material and construction as raised floor 20, but floor 30 is less thick than raised floor 20. In this embodiment, floor 30 has the same unit area as raised floor 20. Each floor 30 also has holes 301 at its four corners, just like raised floor 20, for screws 50 to pass through for fixing.

[0040] The first reinforcing plate 40 is in contact with the floor 30. The first reinforcing plate 40 is located on top of the floor 30. The first reinforcing plate 40 is made of a rigid material, such as carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel. The first reinforcing plate 40 provides structural characteristics equivalent to a reaction beam. Thus, the combination of the first reinforcing plate 40, the floor 30, and the support frame 10 can increase the load-bearing capacity by approximately 10% to 20%.

[0041] The first reinforcing plate 40 has a larger unit area than the floor 30. For example... Figure 1As shown, the unit area of ​​one first reinforcing board 40 is approximately equal to the unit area of ​​six floorboards 30, but this is not a limitation and the unit area of ​​the first reinforcing board 40 can be adjusted according to actual needs. Furthermore, the length of one first reinforcing board 40 is approximately equal to the total length of three floorboards 30 or the total length of three raised floorboards 20. Therefore, when the first reinforcing board 40 is laid on top of the floorboards 30, it provides a larger pressure-distributing area, relatively increasing the load-bearing capacity of the raised floor 20.

[0042] Similarly, each of the first reinforcing plates 40 has holes 401 at its four corners corresponding to the floor 30, for providing screws 50 to pass through the holes 401 and the holes 301 to the support plate 101 on the support frame 10 (e.g., Figure 4 (As shown) the first reinforcing plate 40 is locked to the floor 30. The hole 401 is a countersunk hole, and the support plate 101 has internal threads.

[0043] For example, when equipment is moved on the raised floor 20, the raised floor 20 on the moving line can be removed and replaced with floor 30, and then a first reinforcing plate 40 can be laid on top of floor 30. Next, the first reinforcing plate 40 and floor 30 are fixed to the support plate 101 of the support frame 10 using screws 50. This increases the load-bearing capacity of the raised floor 20 and improves the problem of deformation caused by equipment weight exceeding its load-bearing capacity.

[0044] In addition, since the raised floor reinforcement module 100 is detachable, after the equipment is moved and positioned, the raised floor reinforcement module 100 on the movement line can be removed and the raised floor 20 can be installed back in its original position.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 This is an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 An enlarged view of part A. (See image below.) Figure 2 As shown, both the floor 30 and the first reinforcing plate 40 are adjacent to the raised floor 20. Holes 301 are formed at the corners of the floor 30 and the first reinforcing plate 40. Since the screws 50 in this embodiment are flat-head screws, to prevent the screw heads from protruding from the surface of the first reinforcing plate 40 and improve flatness, the diameter of the hole 401 is larger than the diameter of the hole 301.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 3 This is a side view of an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the top of the support frame 10 is supported at the four corners of the floor 30, and the first reinforcing plate 40 is located on top of the floor 30. The first reinforcing plate 40 and the floor 30 are adjacent to the raised floor 20. The support frame 10 is used to support the raised floor 20, the floor 30 and the first reinforcing plate 40. The area of ​​one first reinforcing plate 40 is approximately equal to the area of ​​two or more floor 30s.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 4 This is an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 An enlarged view of part B. (See image below.) Figure 4 As shown, the support frame 10 is used to support the raised floor 20, the floor 30 and the first reinforcing plate 40 respectively.

[0048] The top of the support frame 10 is a support plate 101, which supports the floor 30 and the raised floor 20. The support plate 101 has internal threads for locking with screws 50. This allows the raised floor 20 to be easily fixed to the floor 30 on the support plate 101 of the support frame 10, resulting in a smooth and aesthetically pleasing surface between the raised floor 20 and the floor 30 on which the first reinforcing plate 40 is laid.

[0049] The height of the floor 30 is lower than the height of the raised floor 20. In other words, the upper surface of the floor 30 (not shown in the figure) is lower than the upper surface 20a of the raised floor 20. Therefore, an accommodating space is formed between the upper surface of the floor 30 and the upper surface 20a of the raised floor 20. This accommodating space can be used to lay the first reinforcing plate 40. The upper surface 40a of the first reinforcing plate 40 has the same horizontal plane as the upper surface 20a of the raised floor 20.

[0050] For example, if the height of the raised floor 20 is 60mm, the height of the floor 30 can be designed to be 55mm, and the thickness of the first reinforcing plate 40 can be designed to be 5mm. The thickness of the top plate of the raised floor 20 is the same, generally 2.5-5.0mm, which can support equipment weighing over 10 tons. Therefore, when the raised floor reinforcing module 100 is installed on the raised floor 20, the overall surface remains flat and aesthetically pleasing.

[0051] Next, please refer to Figure 5 This is an exploded view of another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, a first reinforcing plate 40 is laid on the floor 30, meaning that the area of ​​one first reinforcing plate 40 is equal to the area of ​​ten floor 30s. Please refer to... Figure 6 This is a combined side view of another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, the support frame 10 is used to support the floor 30 and the first reinforcing plate 40. The first reinforcing plate 40 is located on the upper layer of the floor 30.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 7 This is an exploded view of another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, a first reinforcing plate 40 and a second reinforcing plate 42 are laid directly and alternately on the raised floor 20, i.e., a structure of two reinforcing plates. The second reinforcing plate 42 is laid on top of the first reinforcing plate 40 and does not need to be fixed to the raised floor 20. The thickness of the first reinforcing plate 40 and the second reinforcing plate 42 can be designed to be 5mm, which can support heavier equipment and avoid damage to the raised floor 20.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 8A This is a combined side view of another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8A As shown, the support frame 10 is used to support the raised floor 20, the first reinforcing plate 40, and the second reinforcing plate 42. Figure 8B As shown, the lower surface of the first reinforcing plate 40 contacts the upper surface of the raised floor 20, while the upper surface of the first reinforcing plate 40 contacts the lower surface of the second reinforcing plate 42. The first reinforcing plate 40 is located on the upper layer of the raised floor 20, and the second reinforcing plate 42 is located on the upper layer of the first reinforcing plate 40. The second reinforcing plate 42 and the first reinforcing plate 40 are stacked alternately. In other words, the first reinforcing plate 40 and the second reinforcing plate 42 are directly and alternately laid on the raised floor 20.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 9 This is an exploded view of another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 9 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, a first reinforcing plate 40, a second reinforcing plate 42, and a third reinforcing plate 44 are laid on the raised floor 20. That is, the three reinforcing plates are laid in a staggered manner on the raised floor 20, with the second reinforcing plate 42 laid on top of the first reinforcing plate 40, and the third reinforcing plate 44 laid on top of the second reinforcing plate 42. This allows the overall load-bearing capacity to support heavier equipment compared to the original raised floor 20, thus preventing damage to the raised floor 20.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 10A This is a combined side view of another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 10A As shown, the support frame 10 is used to support the raised floor 20, the first reinforcing plate 40, the second reinforcing plate 42, and the third reinforcing plate 44. Figure 10B As shown, the lower surface of the first reinforcing plate 40 contacts the upper surface of the raised floor 20, the upper surface of the first reinforcing plate 40 contacts the lower surface of the second reinforcing plate 42, and the upper surface of the second reinforcing plate 42 contacts the lower surface of the third reinforcing plate 44, and they are laid directly and alternately on the raised floor 20. The upper surfaces of the first reinforcing plate 40, the second reinforcing plate 42, and the third reinforcing plate 44 are higher than the upper surface of the raised floor 20.

[0056] The first reinforcing plate 40 is located on top of the raised floor 20, the second reinforcing plate 42 is located on top of the first reinforcing plate 40, and the third reinforcing plate 44 is located on top of the second reinforcing plate 42. The first reinforcing plate 40, the second reinforcing plate 42, and the third reinforcing plate 44 are staggered and stacked on the raised floor 20. The area of ​​the first reinforcing plate 40, the second reinforcing plate 42, or the third reinforcing plate 44 is larger than the unit area of ​​the raised floor 20.

[0057] In this embodiment, the total thickness of the raised floor 20, the first reinforcing plate 40, the second reinforcing plate 42, and the third reinforcing plate 44 can be greater than the thickness of the raised floor 20 top plate. Furthermore, this embodiment uses three layers of reinforcing plates as an example and is not intended to be limiting; the number of reinforcing plates stacked can be adjusted according to actual needs. In some embodiments, the floor 30, the first reinforcing plate 40, the second reinforcing plate 42, and the third reinforcing plate 44 each have holes for engaging with screws 50 to secure them to the support frame 10.

[0058] In summary, the raised floor reinforcement module of the present invention can be installed on the moving line according to usage requirements to improve the load-bearing capacity of the raised floor and improve the problem of deformation of the raised floor caused by excessive equipment weight.

[0059] According to an embodiment of the present invention, after the first reinforcing plate 40 is installed on the upper layer of the floor 30, the upper surface of the first reinforcing plate 40 and the upper surface of the adjacent raised floor 20 are at the same level. In addition to being flatter and more aesthetically pleasing, this avoids damage to the raised floor 20 and also prevents height differences from affecting the smoothness of handling, thereby improving the handling efficiency of the equipment.

[0060] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first reinforcing plate 40 is laid on the floor 30, or the second reinforcing plate 42 and the first reinforcing plate 40 are staggered and laid on the raised floor 20, or the first reinforcing plate 40, the second reinforcing plate 42 and the third reinforcing plate 44 are staggered and laid on the raised floor 20, so that the overall load-bearing capacity can gradually be increased to support heavier equipment than the original raised floor 20, so as to meet the handling requirements of various equipment weights.

[0061] The floor and reinforced plate dimensions and structure according to embodiments of the present invention adopt a modular design, allowing for the replacement of raised floors along the movement path according to actual usage needs without disassembling the support frame. After equipment relocation is completed, the original raised floor can be replaced. This is not only convenient and fast, but also, compared to ordinary raised floors, the present invention combines the functionality of relocation with an aesthetically pleasing effect.

[0062] The above description is illustrative only and not restrictive of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that many modifications, variations or equivalents can be made without departing from the spirit and scope defined by the claims, and all such modifications, variations or equivalents will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
