SUPPORT PLATE FOR ADJUSTABLE LOAD-BEARING STRUCTURE FOR RAISED FLOOR

Description

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of construction, namely to the design of supporting elements for the construction of raised floors, and can be used in the installation of adjustable supporting structures in rooms with increased requirements for moisture removal.

[0002] An adjustable supporting structure for a raised floor is known, comprising a support with a supporting plate with stiffening ribs (patent RU 193541 U1, published November 1, 2019). A drawback of this known solution is the lack of moisture drainage elements from the contact area between the plate and the base.

[0003] The closest analogue (prototype) to the claimed utility model is the support plate for an adjustable supporting structure for a raised floor, according to patent RU 200026 U1, published October 1, 2020. This known support plate comprises a base with stiffening ribs located along the outer perimeter, rigidly attached to the plate. The plate also has arcuate protrusions connected between adjacent stiffening ribs. The technical result of this solution is increased structural rigidity and an increased contact area with the base.

[0004] A disadvantage of the prototype is that the continuous arched protrusions impede the free drainage of water (condensate, process moisture, or cleaning agents) from the subfloor. The lack of drainage channels leads to stagnant moisture, which can cause corrosion of metal structural elements or destruction of the concrete foundation.

[0005] The technical problem that the utility model is aimed at solving is ensuring effective drainage from the subfloor space of a raised floor without reducing the strength characteristics of the support plate.

[0006] The technical result consists in improving the performance characteristics of the support plate by ensuring moisture drainage while maintaining the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the structure.

[0007] The specified technical result is achieved in that in the support plate of the adjustable supporting structure for a raised floor, comprising a base, on the outer side of which, along the perimeter, stiffening ribs are placed, fixed to the support plate, and arcuate protrusions located on the support plate and connected to adjacent stiffening ribs, according to the utility model, in at least one of the arcuate protrusions, at least one slot is made, forming a channel for draining water.

[0008] In a particular case of the implementation of a utility model, additional through holes can be made in the support plate next to the slots to enhance the drainage effect.

[0009] The presence of slots in the arched protrusions connecting the stiffening ribs allows moisture (water) accumulating on the base (soil) to pass freely through the support plate without lingering in the contact zone. At the same time, the slots do not disrupt the force connection between the stiffening ribs provided by the protrusions, thereby maintaining the ability to withstand additional loads when adjusting the support angle, as stated in the prototype.

[0010] The essence of the utility model is explained by a drawing (figure).

[0011] In the drawing: 1 - base, 2 - drain holes, 3 - slot in the protrusion on the support plate, 4 - slot at the junction of the base and the support plate, 5 - support plate, 6 - arched protrusions of the base, 7 - stiffening ribs of the base.

[0012] Implementation of a utility model

[0013] The support plate for the adjustable raised floor support structure is made of, for example, steel or high-strength plastic by stamping or casting.

[0014] Structurally, the plate contains a flat base 5. On the outer side of the base 1, stiffening ribs 7 are placed along the perimeter, each of which is rigidly fixed to the support plate 5.

[0015] To increase the strength of the connection between the ribs 7, arcuate protrusions 6 are formed on the base 5, which connect adjacent stiffening ribs 7 to each other, forming a closed or semi-closed contour that increases the resistance of the plate to deformations (as in prototype RU 200026).

[0016] However, the closure of the projections 6 does not create a significant strengthening of the stiffening ribs 7, since the strengthening ensures a strong fixation of the projections 6 on the base 5.

[0017] Thus, the formation of gaps in the protrusions 6 does not significantly reduce the strength of the structure.

[0018] On the other hand, the formation of through-slots 3 in the body of each arcuate protrusion 6, or in some of them, provides additional opportunities for forming drainage channels. These slots 3 can be in the form of slits, rectangular, or oval holes, cutting through the protrusion 6 along its entire height or partially, but in any case, they create a through channel for the passage of liquid from the inner to the outer edge of the plate.

[0019] When using a raised floor, moisture that falls on the subfloor (ground) tends to flow to the lowest points. With slots 3, water passes unimpeded through the barrier in the form of an arched protrusion 6 and is removed naturally or into a drainage system. By making additional holes 2 in the subfloor 5 near the slots 3, the drainage capacity of the structure is further enhanced.

[0020] It is also possible to improve the drainage of water from the base 1 itself. For this purpose, slots 4 can be made at the junction of the base 1 and the support plate 5. As a result, the water accumulated in the channel of the base 1 is quickly drained through slots 3 and holes 2.

[0021] Thus, the proposed design, while retaining all the advantages of the prototype (rigidity, rib connection, high load-bearing capacity), acquires a new property - a drainage function, which prevents corrosion and destruction of materials, increasing the reliability and durability of the entire raised floor system.
