[Figure 6] 2 is a diagram illustrating a restricting member 40 of the horizontal structure 1 with a built-in equipment material in FIG. 1. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] At least the following points will become apparent from the description of this specification and the accompanying drawings. (Aspect 1) This is a horizontal structure with built-in equipment material, which has a horizontal member installed in a horizontal direction, a piping unit embedded in the horizontal member and having a piping with a hollow portion, and equipment material installed in the hollow portion, wherein the piping unit has a plurality of rows of piping arranged in a lattice pattern along the horizontal direction, and is configured so that the equipment material can be laid in any route in the horizontal direction from any of the plurality of rows of piping.

[0010] According to the horizontal structure with built-in equipment of the first aspect, the type and arrangement of equipment can be changed and added without rebuilding the building or carrying out major construction work. Also, construction work for constructing a new building can be carried out before the arrangement of the equipment is finalized.

[0011] (Aspect 2) In the horizontal structure with built-in equipment of aspect 1, it is desirable that the equipment be configured so that the equipment can be removed vertically from any one of the multiple rows of piping.

[0012] According to the horizontal structure with built-in equipment of the second aspect, the type and arrangement of equipment can be changed and added without rebuilding the building or carrying out major construction work. In addition, construction of the new building can be carried out before the arrangement of the equipment is finalized.

[0013] (Aspect 3) In the horizontal structure with built-in equipment material of aspect 1 or 2, it is desirable that the piping is a stressed material.

[0014] According to the horizontal structure with built-in equipment of the third aspect, the strength of the horizontal member can be improved by the piping unit. Also, in the case of the horizontal member made of reinforced concrete, the amount of reinforcement can be reduced.

[0015] (Aspect 4) A horizontal structure with built-in equipment material of any of aspects 1 to 3 has a regulating member that regulates the relative position between the piping and the equipment material, and the regulating member has a first member fixed to the piping and a second member fixed to the equipment material, and it is desirable that the first member and the second member are capable of relative displacement with respect to each other.

[0016] According to the horizontal structure with built-in equipment of aspect 4, even if the building is subjected to vibrations due to an earthquake or the like, the first and second members can absorb movement caused by the vibrations while fixing the piping unit and the equipment to each other.

[0017] (Aspect 5) A method for constructing a horizontal structure with built-in equipment material of any of aspects 1 to 4 preferably includes a first step of installing a horizontal member including a piping unit in which multiple rows of piping along the horizontal direction are arranged in a lattice pattern without the equipment material being installed inside the piping, and a second step of arranging the equipment material inside the multiple rows of piping and laying the equipment material from any one of the multiple rows of piping in any route in the horizontal direction.

[0018] According to the method for constructing a horizontal structure with built-in equipment materials of aspect 5, it is possible to place horizontal members including piping units even before the equipment material placement plan is finalized, allowing construction work on a new building to proceed.

[0019] (Aspect 6) A method for constructing a horizontal structure with built-in equipment material of any of aspects 1 to 4, desirably includes a first step of removing the equipment material provided inside the piping unit, a second step of providing new equipment material different from the equipment material removed in the first step in the hollow portion, and a third step of laying the new equipment material in an arbitrary horizontal route from an arbitrary pipe among the multiple rows of pipes.

[0020] According to the method for constructing a horizontal structure with built-in equipment of embodiment 6, it is possible to change the type and arrangement of equipment and add equipment without rebuilding the building or carrying out major construction work.

[0021] (Aspect 7) In the method for constructing a horizontal structure with built-in equipment of aspect 5 or 6, it is preferable that the equipment is placed by a self-propelled robot that moves by itself inside the hollow portion.

[0022] According to the method for constructing a horizontal structure with built-in equipment of aspect 7, even if the hollow portion has a complex structure, equipment can be easily arranged inside the hollow portion.

[0023] <<<Present embodiment>>> === Equipment-equipped horizontal structure 1 of this embodiment === Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the horizontal installation structure 1 with built-in equipment material before the change of use. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the portion x in Fig. 1 as seen from above. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of the horizontal installation structure 1 with built-in equipment material after the change of use. The horizontal installation structure 1 with built-in equipment material has a piping unit 10, a horizontal member 20, and equipment material 30.

[0024] The piping unit 10 is embedded in a horizontal member 20. The horizontal member 20 is installed in the horizontal direction. The horizontal member is a so-called slab, which is a floor or ceiling in a building, and is made of reinforced concrete, steel frame, wood, or the like. The horizontal member 20 in this embodiment is aligned in the horizontal direction and perpendicular to columns and walls aligned in the vertical direction, but is not limited to this. The horizontal member 20 may have a predetermined inclination with respect to the horizontal direction.

[0025] The piping unit 10 has a pipe 10h having a hollow portion 11. As shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the piping unit 10 has a plurality of pipes 10h arranged in a lattice shape along the horizontal direction. The piping unit 10 is preferably formed of a stress material such as reinforced concrete, steel pipe, or FRP. When the horizontal member 20 is made of reinforced concrete, the pipes 10h can reinforce the concrete, so that the amount of reinforcing bar used in the horizontal member 20 can be reduced by using the pipes 10h formed of a stress material. The piping unit 10 may be formed without using different materials by cutting the horizontal member 20, for example. The "lattice shape" of the pipes 10h of the piping unit 10 is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. 1 and the like. The pipes 10h may be arranged in an arbitrary polygonal grid or in a curved shape. It is sufficient that a plurality of pipes 10h are provided and that the plurality of pipes 10h are arranged to have mutually intersecting portions. In addition, a plurality of piping units 10 may be arranged in the horizontal member 20. For example, the horizontal member 20 may include an electrical piping unit 10 and a water supply and drainage piping unit 10 disposed therein.

[0026] The equipment 30 is provided inside the hollow portion 11 of the piping 10h. The equipment 30 is equipment piping such as piping for water supply and drainage, air conditioning, electrical wiring, etc. The type, number, and layout path of the equipment 30 often change depending on the use of the building.

[0027] In the past, when changing the use of an existing building, it was necessary to rebuild the building itself or carry out major construction work on the building because different equipment and materials were required. For example, when changing the use of an existing building from an office, where piping is concentrated in the core, to a hotel, where piping space is required for each room, not only are the equipment and materials used different, but the layout within the building is also different, making it difficult to change the use.

[0028] In addition, not only when changing the use of a building, but also when changing the building specifications or internal layout, or when building a new building, the purpose of the building had to be clearly determined in advance, and the types and placement of all equipment and materials had to be designed before construction could be carried out.

[0029] In contrast, the horizontal structure 1 with built-in equipment material has a horizontal member 20 arranged in the horizontal direction, and equipment material 30 embedded in the horizontal member and installed in the hollow portion 11, and the piping unit 10 has multiple rows of pipes 10h arranged in a lattice pattern along the horizontal direction, and is configured so that the equipment material 30 can be laid in any horizontal route from any of the multiple rows of pipes 10h.

[0030] A specific description will be given with reference to Figs. 1 to 3. In this embodiment, the building use of the horizontal structure 1 with built-in equipment material in the state of Fig. 1 is changed to the state of Fig. 3. The building in which the horizontal structure 1 with built-in equipment material in Fig. 1 is provided and the building in which the horizontal structure 1 with built-in equipment material in Fig. 3 is provided are the same building itself. However, since the uses for which the buildings are used are different, the specifications such as the type and arrangement of the equipment materials differ according to the uses. The state before the use of the building is changed is also called "before the use change", and the state after the use of the building is changed is also called "after the use change".

[0031] In the horizontal structure 1 with built-in equipment before the change of use, the equipment 30 provided in the hollow portion 11 of the piping unit 10 is laid horizontally from any one of the multiple rows of piping 10h, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. In this case, the equipment 30 is laid in any route in the horizontal direction at each of the parts P1 and P2 in Figure 1. On the other hand, in the horizontal structure 1 with built-in equipment after the change of use, the equipment 30 provided in the hollow portion 11 of the pipe 10h is laid in an arbitrary route in the horizontal direction from an arbitrary pipe 10h different from the one before the change of use among the multiple pipes 10h, as shown in Fig. 3. In this case, the equipment 30 is placed in a different position from the equipment 30 before the change of use, and is laid in an arbitrary route in the horizontal direction at the portion P3 in Fig. 3.

[0032] The method of constructing a horizontal structure with built-in equipment material to convert the state before the change of use shown in Figures 1 and 2 to the state after the change of use shown in Figure 3 is as follows. First, a first step is performed in which the equipment 30 provided inside the pipe 10h in Figs. 1 and 2 is removed. Next, a second step is performed in which a new equipment material 30 different from the equipment material 30 removed in the first step is provided in the hollow portion 11 of the pipe 10h. Then, a third process is performed in which new equipment material 30 is laid in any horizontal route from any pipe 10h among the multiple pipes 10h, resulting in the horizontal structure 1 with built-in equipment material after the change of use as shown in Figure 3.

[0033] As shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, the horizontal installation structure 1 with built-in equipment can select any pipe 10h suitable for laying in any horizontal route from among the multiple pipes 10h according to the purpose and layout of the building, and lay any equipment 30 in any horizontal route. In other words, any type of equipment 30 can be arbitrarily arranged. Therefore, the type and layout of the equipment 30 can be changed or added without rebuilding the building or carrying out major construction work.

[0034] The horizontal installation structure 1 with built-in equipment is not necessarily limited to one in which the equipment 30 is laid in an arbitrary horizontal route from different pipes 10h before and after the use change. Depending on the use of the building, the horizontal installation structure 1 with built-in equipment may have the equipment 30 laid in the horizontal direction from the same pipes 10h before and after the use change.

[0035] In this embodiment, in order to change the use of the building, the horizontal structure 1 with built-in equipment shown in Fig. 1 is changed to the horizontal structure 1 with built-in equipment shown in Fig. 3, but this is not limited to this. Even when only the arrangement of the equipment 30 is changed without changing the use of the building, the horizontal structure 1 with built-in equipment shown in Fig. 1 may be changed to the horizontal structure 1 with built-in equipment shown in Fig. 3.

[0036] In addition, in this embodiment, the case where the equipment materials 30 are changed when the use of the building is changed has been described, but this is not limited to this. The equipment material-embedded horizontal structure 1 (FIG. 1) makes it possible to place any type of equipment material 30 in any position, so that new construction work can be carried out even when the types and placements of all equipment materials have not been determined.

[0037] The method for constructing a horizontal structure with built-in equipment materials 1 before the change of use in Figure 1 (the method for constructing a horizontal structure with built-in equipment materials 1 for new construction work) can be performed in the following manner. First, the first step is performed in which, without installing any equipment materials 30 inside the multiple pipes 10h, a horizontal member 20 including a piping unit 10 in which multiple horizontal rows of pipes 10h are arranged in a lattice pattern is installed. Next, a second process is performed in which equipment material 30 is placed inside the multiple rows of pipes 10h, and the equipment material 30 is laid in any horizontal route from any one of the multiple rows of pipes 10h, thereby newly constructing an equipment material-embedded horizontal structure 1 as shown in Figure 1.

[0038] In constructing the horizontal structure 1 with built-in equipment materials shown in Fig. 1, the first step can be performed before the types and arrangements of all the equipment materials 30 are determined. Therefore, even before the types and arrangements of the equipment materials 30 are determined, the piping unit 10 (plurality of piping 10h) can be arranged, and the construction of a new building can proceed. This makes it easier to shorten the construction period of the building.

[0039] In the method for constructing the horizontal installation structure with built-in equipment 1 from the state before the change of use in FIG. 1 to the state after the change of use in FIG. 3 described above, and the method for constructing the horizontal installation structure with built-in equipment 1 before the change of use in FIG. 1, the equipment 30 may be placed by a self-propelled robot that self-propels inside the hollow part 11 of the pipe 10h. FIGS. 4 and 5 are diagrams for explaining the process of placing the equipment 30 in the pipe unit 10 of the horizontal installation structure with built-in equipment 1. FIGS. 4 and 5 are examples of placing the equipment 30 using the self-propelled robots R1 and R2. The self-propelled robots R1 and R2 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 can place the equipment 30 inside the pipe 10h by self-propelling inside the hollow part 11 of the pipe 10h while holding the equipment 30. Note that in FIGS. 4 and 5, the self-propelled robots R1 and R2 are shown, respectively, and the equipment 30 is omitted.

[0040] The self-propelled robots R1 and R2 can move in any direction in the lateral direction. As described above, the horizontal structure 1 with built-in equipment has a plurality of pipings 10h (piping unit 10), and for example, the self-propelled robots R1 and R2 can move straight through the hollow portion 11 inside the piping 10h in a predetermined direction (a direction from the bottom to the top in FIGS. 4A and 5A) as shown in FIGS. 4A and 5A. Also, the self-propelled robots R1 and R2 can first move through the hollow portion 11 inside the piping 10h in a predetermined direction (a direction from the bottom to the top in FIGS. 4B and 5B), and then turn and move in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction (a direction from the left side to the right side in FIGS. 4B and 5B), thereby providing the equipment 30 at any position in the piping unit 10.

[0041] By using the self-propelled robots R1 and R2, the equipment 30 can be easily arranged inside the hollow portion 11 of the piping 10h (piping unit 10) even if the hollow portion 11 has a complex shape. The self-propelled robot R is not limited to this configuration. Any machine that can move inside the piping 10h by itself can be used. The self-propelled robots R1 and R2 can be used not only to arrange the equipment 30, but also to connect the equipment 30 to each other, fix the equipment 30 with a restricting member 40 (described later), remove existing equipment 30, and the like. Furthermore, multiple self-propelled robots R1 and R2 may be used simultaneously to work together.

[0042] In the above embodiment, the equipment material 30 is laid horizontally from the multiple rows of piping 10h, but this is not limited thereto. The equipment material 30 may be configured to be taken out vertically from any of the multiple rows of piping 10h. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the hollow portion 11 of the piping unit 10 of the equipment material built-in horizontal installation structure 1 has not only a portion along the horizontal direction but also a portion along the vertical direction. Specifically, for the multiple rows of piping 10h, a hollow portion 11 is provided along a vertical direction (up and down direction) perpendicular to the horizontal direction at a portion where a piping 10h provided along a predetermined direction and a piping 10h provided along a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction intersect. Since the equipment material 30 is configured to be taken out vertically as well as horizontally from any of the multiple rows of piping 10h, the type and arrangement of the equipment material 30 can be changed or added without rebuilding the building or carrying out major construction work. In addition, since any type of equipment 30 can be placed in any position, construction of the building and piping 10h can be carried out even when the types and placement of all equipment have not yet been determined when constructing a new building.

[0043] In addition, the horizontal installation structure 1 with built-in equipment material shown in Figs. 1 to 3 preferably has a restricting member 40 that restricts the relative position between the pipe 10h and the equipment material 30. Fig. 6 is a diagram for explaining the restricting member 40 of the horizontal installation structure 1 with built-in equipment material shown in Fig. 1. Figs. 6A to 6C each show an example of the restricting member 40. The restricting member 40 is a member that restricts the relative position between the pipe 10h and the equipment material 30. As shown in Figs. 6A to 6C, the restricting member 40 includes a first member 41 fixed to the pipe 10h and a second member 42 fixed to the equipment material 30. The first member 41 and the second member 42 are capable of relative displacement with respect to each other. By providing the horizontal installation structure 1 with built-in equipment material, the piping unit 10 and the equipment material 30 are fixed to each other, and even if vibrations are applied to the building due to an earthquake or the like, the first member 41 and the second member 42 can absorb the displacement caused by the vibrations.

[0044] In the above embodiment, one type of equipment material 30 is provided in the piping unit 10, but this is not limited to the above. A plurality of equipment materials 30 may be provided in the hollow portion 11 of the piping 10h. In the equipment material-built-in horizontal structure 1, a plurality of equipment materials 30 may be provided according to the purpose and layout of the building, and each equipment material 30 may be laid horizontally from any of the piping 10h within the piping unit 10.

[0045] ===Other embodiments=== Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the above embodiment is intended to facilitate understanding of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Furthermore, the present invention may be modified or improved without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and it goes without saying that the present invention includes equivalents thereof.
