Description

Cleanroom flooring system and heavy-duty raised floor panel

[0001] The present invention relates to a cleanroom floor system with a framework and with a plurality of raised floor panels laid on the framework, as well as a heavy-duty raised floor panel for use in a cleanroom floor system.

[0002] A cleanroom floor is typically a raised floor construction with an extensive cavity between a walkable floor and the underlying subfloor. The floor is formed by rectangular raised floor panels with a typical edge length of no more than 60 cm, resting on a support structure. This support structure consists of columns, on which each raised floor panel is supported at each of its four corners. Adapted to the design of the raised floor panels, the columns are arranged in a predetermined pattern at the intersections of a rectangular grid within the cavity, spaced no more than 60 cm apart. In a cleanroom floor, utility lines and supply lines for the cleanroom can be installed within this cavity, taking into account the predetermined column arrangement when routing such lines.This restricts flexibility in the installation of utility lines, as well as in the movement of heavy components that exceed the load-bearing capacity of the raised floor and must be supported on the subfloor. Furthermore, the accessibility of installed utility lines is also limited by the predetermined column arrangement, making maintenance of existing utility lines regularly very costly. In individual cases, a bridge structure with a load-bearing profile can be built that spans a permissible column and runs beneath the raised... The bridge is arranged on horizontal double floor slabs. However, the implementation of such a bridge structure is complex and also reduces the height of the available cavity.

[0003] One object of the present invention is therefore to provide, in light of the aforementioned problems, an improved cleanroom floor system and a heavy-duty raised floor slab, which in particular achieves increased flexibility in the laying of media routes or the transport of heavy components.

[0004] The solution according to the invention lies in the features of the independent claims. Advantageous further developments are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0005] According to the invention, a cleanroom floor system is provided with a framework and with a plurality of raised floor panels placed on the framework, wherein the raised floor panels each have a rectangular base area, wherein the framework comprises a plurality of vertical supports arranged at the intersections of a rectangular grid, such that each raised floor panel is supported at each of its four corners by a vertical support, and wherein at least one of the raised floor panels is designed as a heavy-duty raised floor panel, which has a support-free section oriented along one of its edges, extending over at least 100 cm.

[0006] The invention relates to an advantageous embodiment of a cleanroom flooring system in which at least one raised floor panel is designed as a heavy-duty raised floor panel. By having this heavy-duty raised floor panel a column-free section aligned along its edge, extending over at least 100 cm, a A larger area within the cavity beneath the heavy-duty raised floor slab can be designed without vertical supports that could obstruct the installation of utility lines or the movement of heavy components requiring support on the subfloor. This increases flexibility in routing utility lines and moving heavy components within this area of ​​the cavity. Furthermore, the proposed design offers less restricted movement within the cavity, improving access to the utility lines and thus reducing maintenance efforts. This eliminates the need for complex bridge structures and the associated reduction in cavity height. Additionally, the total number of vertical supports required for a given area can be reduced.

[0007] The raised floor panels can have a square base area. Several or even all of the raised floor panels can be designed as heavy-duty raised floor panels.

[0008] The vertical supports can each be designed to support up to two, three, or four raised floor panels, for which purpose each vertical support can include a suitable support plate for the raised floor panels. The vertical supports can each be individually height-adjustable. The vertical supports can, for example, each be designed to prevent or at least limit horizontal movement of one or more raised floor panels in one, two, three, or four directions. For this purpose, the vertical supports can, for example, each have suitable locking elements, such as corresponding grooves or... Springs, which may be arranged, for example, on their respective support plates, and which may interact with corresponding elements of the locking device on the side of the double floor plates.

[0009] A column-free section is understood to be a section of a raised floor slab where support for the slab by a vertical column is neither present nor required. Accordingly, a raised floor slab must be designed and, in particular, provided with sufficient load-bearing capacity to bridge a column-free section intended for it, and must, for example, possess a load-bearing capacity sufficient for this purpose.

[0010] The grid can be square. Accordingly, the intersection points can have a uniform distance to each adjacent intersection point.

[0011] In one embodiment, the heavy-duty double floor slab has a column-free section aligned along two vertical edges of the heavy-duty double floor slab, each extending over at least 100 cm.

[0012] Accordingly, the column-free section extends over an area of ​​at least 100 cm x 100 cm. This allows for a particularly large column-free section to be provided over a compact area. If two or more heavy-duty raised floor panels are arranged directly adjacent to each other, an area of ​​at least 200 cm x 100 cm can be provided column-free beneath the heavy-duty raised floor panels.

[0013] The top surfaces of the supported raised floor slabs can form a continuous, flat floor.

[0014] In particular, the raised floor panels can be unconnected and, for example, free of any fastenings to one another. The top surface of one or more of the raised floor panels can be solid or perforated. For example, a raised floor panel can have a plurality of holes, thereby allowing an airflow, particularly laminar or at least low-turbulence, through the respective raised floor panel.

[0015] For example, the floor can be seamless and / or stepless. The term "seamless" here refers to a visually closed, and therefore virtually jointless, surface where the butt joints between adjacent tiles are flush.

[0016] This makes cleaning and disinfection of the floor particularly easy. Such designs are especially advantageous in cleanroom flooring systems. For example, the floor can be covered with a suitable surface material, such as resin tiles or polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

[0017] Adjacent grid intersections can be a maximum of 70 cm or a maximum of 80 cm apart. In particular, adjacent grid intersections can be 60 cm apart.

[0018] This corresponds to typical interpretations of the grid size for specifying the arrangement of the vertical stands, which are already regularly found in the field.

[0019] The heavy-duty double floor plate can have a square base area with an edge length of at least 100 cm or at least 120 cm.

[0020] In particular, the edge length of a square heavy-duty raised floor panel can be 120 cm. This corresponds to twice the distance between two intersection points with a grid size of 60 cm. Such a design allows for particularly easy integration of a heavy-duty raised floor panel into an existing cleanroom floor system with a stud frame in which the vertical studs are arranged at the intersection points of a rectangular grid spaced 60 cm apart. For example, the heavy-duty raised floor panel can thus replace four square raised floor panels with an edge length of 60 cm. In this design, the heavy-duty raised floor panel can cover one intersection point of the grid and remain free of studs at that intersection point. The total number of vertical studs required for support over the area covered by the heavy-duty raised floor panel can thus be reduced by one.If two raised floor panels are designed as immediately adjacent heavy-duty raised floor panels, replacing a total of eight square raised floor panels with an edge length of 60 cm, the total number of required vertical supports can be reduced by three.

[0021] In one design, the heavy-duty raised floor slab has a maximum thickness of 6 cm, for example 5 cm. Alternatively or additionally, the heavy-duty raised floor slab can be designed to have a minimum load-bearing capacity of 10 kN / m². 2 to bridge a span of at least 100 cm along the edges of its base or at least 150 cm along the diagonals of its base without supports.

[0022] This allows for a particularly efficient design of the heavy-duty double floor slab with a low surface weight and a low construction height.

[0023] The heavy-duty double floor plate according to the invention can comprise an outer support frame for resting on at least four vertical supports and a lower shell on which a corrugated sheet is arranged, on which an upper shell rests.

[0024] The four vertical supports are those located in the four corners of the heavy-duty double floor slab.

[0025] Such a design allows sufficient stability for the heavy-duty double floor slab to provide a column-free section extending over at least 100 cm, while maintaining a sufficiently low surface weight.

[0026] One or more of the vertical supports and one or more parts of the heavy-duty double floor slab, such as the support frame or the bottom shell, can each have elements of a cooperating locking device for the at least horizontally fixed relative arrangement of these two components. For example, the part(s) of the heavy-duty double floor slab and the vertical supports can each have several, in particular the same number, elements of the locking device. For example, the elements of the locking device can be one or more springs or pins, for example on the side of one or more of the vertical supports, such as in their respective support plates, and corresponding grooves or holes, for example on the side of the support frame or the bottom shell.The locking device can be designed to form a positive connection between the part(s) of the heavy-duty double floor panel and a vertical support. Furthermore, the support frame can be designed with lateral recesses into which corresponding elements of another support frame of another heavy-duty double floor panel can be inserted, at least two-dimensionally. The fixed relative arrangement of the two support frames, and thus of the two heavy-duty raised floor panels, can be adjusted. In this way, a seamless connection of two heavy-duty raised floor panels can be achieved particularly easily.

[0027] Additionally, the lower shell can be designed in the form of a tray into which the corrugated sheet is inserted. The upper shell can also be designed in the form of a tray that rests on the corrugated sheet.

[0028] When used as a cleanroom floor, horizontal forces, such as footsteps on the top of the heavy-duty raised floor panel, can cause undesirable horizontal displacement of the panels both relative to the corrugated sheet and to each other. By designing the lower and / or upper panels in a trough shape, the individual components can be arranged with a horizontal positive fit, thus effectively preventing undesirable horizontal displacement of the panels both relative to the corrugated sheet and to each other. With a locking mechanism that sufficiently limits the horizontal displacement of these components, the number of additional connections between them can be reduced using appropriate fasteners, or the need for such connections can even be eliminated entirely.

[0029] In one design form, the supporting frame has a horizontal section that supports the lower shell.

[0030] By providing a horizontal sub-area supporting the lower shell, a particularly advantageous transfer of the weight force acting on the heavy-duty double floor slab into the vertical columns can be achieved. A full-surface design of the horizontal sub-area is Not required. In particular, the supporting frame can have a central recess and, for example, only be formed over a portion of the edge lengths of the heavy-duty raised floor panel. For example, the edges of the central recess can be formed parallel to the edges of the heavy-duty raised floor panel.

[0031] Alternatively or additionally, the support frame can have a horizontal and a vertical section, wherein the horizontal section supports the lower shell and / or the vertical section directly adjoins the upper shell, the corrugated sheet, or the lower shell. In particular, the support frame can have an L-shape.

[0032] By providing a vertical section adjacent to the upper shell, the corrugated sheet, or the lower shell, these components can be enclosed, thus creating additional protection against unwanted relative horizontal displacement between the support frame and the other components. This also allows for a defined maximum horizontal displacement of the components enclosed by the support frame. In this way, with a suitable design of the corrugated sheet, upper shell, and lower shell—for example, a form-fitting connection in the horizontal direction—sufficient protection against horizontal displacement of all components of the heavy-duty double floor panel relative to each other can be achieved. Additional fastenings between the components may then be required only to a lesser extent or even not at all.

[0033] In one embodiment, the supporting frame is designed as a tubular frame, with the lower shell being connected to the tubular frame in such a way as to create a load-bearing connection. A tubular frame is a supporting frame whose struts are formed by a hollow profile. The hollow profile The tubular frame and lower shell can be rectangular, for example with rounded corners. The tubular frame and lower shell can be arranged within the heavy-duty double floor slab such that the force exerted by the weight acting on the heavy-duty double floor slab is transferred to the vertical supports solely via the tubular frame. For example, the lower shell is attached to the tubular frame in a suitable manner. The lower shell and tubular frame can be arranged such that the underside of the lower shell and the underside of the tubular frame are flush or stepped relative to each other. For example, in a stepped arrangement, the lower shell and the tubular frame can be arranged such that the underside of the lower shell is vertically higher than the underside of the tubular frame. The upper shell can have a greater thickness than the lower shell, particularly in a horizontal section of the upper shell.For example, the thickness of the upper shell can be between 2 mm and 4 mm. The upper shell can be attached to the tubular frame, for example by means of one or more spot welds or welds.

[0034] For example, the top of the heavy-duty double floor panel can be formed by a top of the vertical section and / or a top of the upper shell.

[0035] Accordingly, the top surface of the heavy-duty raised floor panel, and thus the portion of the cleanroom floor system provided by the heavy-duty raised floor panel, can be defined by the upper shell alone or by the upper shell and the support frame. In a configuration where the top surface of the heavy-duty raised floor panel is defined by a combination of the upper shell and the support frame, the height of the vertical section can be adjusted to the vertical position and orientation of the top surface of the upper shell. The top surface of the vertical section and the top surface of the upper shell lie in a common plane. In this way, the top surface of the heavy-duty raised floor panel can be designed with a continuous surface area. Furthermore, if the upper shell and the vertical section are arranged directly adjacent to each other, the top surface of the heavy-duty raised floor panel can be made almost seamless. If the upper shell alone defines the top surface, a seamless design can be achieved. For example, the heavy-duty raised floor panel can have a uniform thickness.

[0036] In one design form, one, several or all side surfaces of the heavy-duty double floor slab can be formed by the supporting frame and / or by the upper shell.

[0037] For example, the design of each side surface can be determined solely by the design of the supporting frame or the upper shell. The respective component can completely cover the respective side walls, thus providing, for example, a uniform wall design. In this way, the design of the side surfaces can be executed uniformly, independent of any individual shapes of other components of the heavy-duty raised floor panel, such as the lower shell or the corrugated sheet, which may vary along different edges of the heavy-duty raised floor panel.

[0038] Alternatively, the respective side walls can be formed by either the supporting frame or the upper shell. In this case, for example, the maximum horizontal extent of the heavy-duty raised floor panel along an edge can be determined by only one of the two components, and a positive fit to the other components of the heavy-duty raised floor panel can be provided. This allows for additional protection against undesirable relative movement. Horizontal displacement and sufficient protection against horizontal displacement of all components of the heavy-duty double floor slab relative to each other are achieved. Additional fastenings of the components to each other may then only be required to a reduced extent or even not at all.

[0039] Furthermore, the corrugated sheet can have alternating horizontal and essentially vertical sections, at least sections rising or ascending at an angle between 0° and 90°. The alternating horizontal and essentially vertical sections can define a profile with alternating grooves and plateaus. In particular, two or more, especially all, plateaus can be arranged in a common plane and / or two or more, especially all, grooves can be arranged in a common plane.

[0040] With this type of corrugated sheet metal design, a particularly advantageous ratio between stability and surface weight can be achieved.

[0041] In one embodiment, the cleanroom flooring system comprises an electrically conductive connecting element that contacts the corrugated sheet, the lower shell, and / or the support frame. Alternatively, one or more connecting elements may be provided that electrically connect the upper shell and the corrugated sheet, the upper shell and the support frame, and / or the corrugated sheet and one or more of the vertical supports.

[0042] Such a connecting element can be implemented, in particular, for electrical potential equalization between the components of the heavy-duty double floor slab. An electrical- This prevents static build-up. The connecting element can be pin-shaped and, for example, designed as a nail, screw, or rivet.

[0043] The supporting frame, the lower shell, and / or the upper shell can each be made of steel, in particular stainless steel, or of aluminum. The corrugated sheet can also be made of steel, in particular stainless steel, or of aluminum.

[0044] This enables cost-effective manufacturing of the heavy-duty double floor slab with sufficient design flexibility and low weight. Furthermore, the simple material variation allows for meeting the diverse requirements of the environments in which it will be used.

[0045] The heavy-duty raised floor slab can have a vertically extending, planar overlap area in which the lower shell, the upper shell, and the supporting frame overlap directly adjacent to one another. In particular, such an overlap area can be provided on all side surfaces of the heavy-duty raised floor slab.

[0046] A suitable design allows for the horizontal fixing of the individual components of the heavy-duty double floor slab relative to each other. In this way, effective protection against unwanted relative horizontal displacement can be achieved in a structurally simple manner.

[0047] For example, the upper shell and / or the lower shell can each be connected to the corrugated sheet, for example to horizontal sections of the corrugated sheet, by means of an adhesive bond. Alternatively or additionally, the supporting frame can be connected to the upper shell and / or the lower shell by means of one or more adhesive connections.

[0048] Adhesive bonding offers simple and cost-effective ways to fasten the respective components together, providing sufficient stability.

[0049] The above-described forms and configurations are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way.

[0050] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and by way of example of advantageous embodiments. The drawings show: Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of an exemplary embodiment of a cleanroom floor system according to the invention in top view; Figure 2 shows a schematic representation of a section of a cleanroom floor system according to the invention in a side sectional view with a heavy-duty double floor panel according to a first embodiment; and Figure 3 shows a schematic representation of a section of a cleanroom floor system according to the invention in a side sectional view with a heavy-duty double floor panel according to a second embodiment.

[0051] Figure 1 shows a schematic top view of an exemplary cleanroom floor system 1. The cleanroom floor system 1 comprises a framework 12 and a plurality of double floor panels 10, each having a rectangular base area, which are placed on the framework 12.

[0052] The framework 12 comprises a plurality of vertical studs 14 arranged at the intersections of a rectangular grid 13, with each double floor slab 10 being supported at each of its four corners by a vertical stud 14. The grid 13 is square, and the intersections are spaced uniformly 60 cm apart from each adjacent intersection.

[0053] The vertical stands 14 are each individually height-adjustable and designed to support up to four raised floor panels 10, for which purpose each includes a suitable support plate for the raised floor panels 10.

[0054] The raised floor panels 10 have a square base and are arranged such that each of their four corners lies at an intersection of the grid 13 and is supported by a vertical column 14 located at this intersection. Each raised floor panel 10 comprises a column-free section aligned along a first edge (in the x-direction) and along a second edge (in the y-direction). In the column-free section, the respective raised floor panel 10 is neither supported nor required.

[0055] Two of the raised floor panels 10 are designed as conventional raised floor panels 21 with an edge length of 60 cm. The column-free section of these conventional raised floor panels 21 thus extends over a maximum of 60 cm.

[0056] Two of the raised floor panels 10 are designed as heavy-duty raised floor panels 20 with an edge length of 120 cm, in which the column-free section 22 extends along both edges for more than 100 cm each and has a square base area. The column-free section 22 of the heavy-duty raised floor panels 20 can thus have a base area approximately four times larger than the column-free section of the conventional raised floor panels 21.

[0057] In the example shown in Fig. 1, a vertical support 14 is required to support the conventional raised floor panels 21 at each intersection of the grid 13 and to support the heavy-duty raised floor panels 20 at every other intersection of the grid 13. Accordingly, the vertical supports 14 required for support at each of the four corners of the raised floor panels 10 are arranged at the intersections of the grid 13 marked with a black dot in Fig. 1. Optionally, a heavy-duty raised floor panel 20 can be supported by additional vertical supports 14, which can be arranged, for example, at an edge. Thus, in Fig. 1, an additional vertical support 14 is arranged in the middle of the upper edge extending in the y-direction of the heavy-duty raised floor panel 20 shown on the right.

[0058] At the intersection points of the grid 13 marked with a white cross, vertical supports 14 are neither required nor provided due to the design of the overlying raised floor panels 10 as heavy-duty raised floor panels 20. In particular, in the illustrated embodiment, vertical supports 14 can be omitted in a complete row (in the y-direction) of intersection points of the grid 13 marked with a white cross.

[0059] Thus, a column-free cavity can be provided below the two heavy-duty raised floor panels 20, for example for laying utility lines and supply cables, the dimensions of which in the x and y directions are many times greater than those of the column-free cavity located under the two conventional raised floor panels 21. This offers, in particular, increased flexibility in laying utility lines and a less restricted range of motion.

[0060] The upper surfaces of the installed raised floor panels 10 are directly adjacent to each other and lie in a common plane. Accordingly, the cleanroom floor system 1 has a continuous, flat floor which is seamless and stepless.

[0061] Figures 2 and 3 show a schematic representation of the cleanroom floor system 1 of Figure 1 in a side sectional view along the dashed line shown in Figure 1. The section runs parallel to an edge extending in the x-direction of a heavy-duty raised floor panel 20, which is shown in Figure 2 according to a first embodiment and in Figure 3 according to a second embodiment. Also shown in each figure is one of the vertical supports 14 on which the heavy-duty raised floor panel 20 rests. The heavy-duty raised floor panel 20 is designed to withstand a minimum load-bearing capacity of 10 kN / m². 2 To bridge a span of at least 100 cm along the edges of its base or at least 150 cm along the diagonals of its base without supports. The heavy-duty double floor slab 20 has a uniform thickness (in the z-direction) of 5 cm.

[0062] In both embodiments, the heavy-duty double floor plate 20 comprises an outer support frame 24 for support. on at least the four vertical supports 14 arranged in the corners of the heavy-duty double floor slab 20. Furthermore, the heavy-duty double floor slab 20 comprises a lower shell 26 on which a corrugated sheet 30 is arranged. An upper shell 28 rests on the corrugated sheet 30. The support frame 24, the lower shell 26 and the upper shell 28 are each made of stainless steel.

[0063] The lower shell 26 is designed in the form of a trough into which the corrugated sheet 30 is inserted. The upper shell 28 is designed in the form of a trough that rests on the corrugated sheet 30. Accordingly, the lower shell 26 and the upper shell 28 each have a horizontal section extending across the xy-plane and a vertical section extending across the y-z-plane. The support frame 24 is attached to both the lower shell 26 and the upper shell 28 by means of adhesive bonds. In the illustrated embodiment, the vertical sections rise at an angle of 90° to the horizontal. However, designs with a smaller angle are also possible. The illustrated variant is characterized by high stability.

[0064] The corrugated sheet 30 has alternating horizontal zonal sections 310 and vertical sections 320, forming a profile with alternating grooves and plateaus extending in the y-direction along the x-axis. The lower shell 26 is connected to a horizontal zonal section 310 of a groove by means of an adhesive bond and is thus attached to the corrugated sheet 30. The upper shell 28 is also attached to the corrugated sheet 30, for which purpose at least one adhesive bond is provided in a horizontal zonal section 310 of a plateau.

[0065] In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, the support frame 24 is L-shaped and has a horizontal section 241 extending in the x and y directions and a vertical section 242 extending in the y and z directions. The horizontal section 241 supports the lower shell 26. All side surfaces 220 of the heavy-duty double floor panel 20 are formed by the vertical section 242, which completely covers the side walls 220.

[0066] The vertical section 242 borders directly on the vertical section of the upper shell 28, which in turn borders on the vertical section of the lower shell 26. This results in a vertically extending, planar overlap area 230, extending along the edges of the heavy-duty double floor plate 20 across all side surfaces 220, in which the trough-shaped lower shell 26, the trough-shaped upper shell 28, and the L-shaped support frame 24 overlap directly adjacent to one another. This achieves a horizontal fixation of the lower shell 26 and upper shell 28 to each other and to the support frame 24, thus preventing any horizontal relative movement of these components.

[0067] The support frame 24 is not fully formed in the xy-plane, but has a central opening. Accordingly, the support frame 24 has a central recess that is parallel to the edges of the heavy-duty double floor panel 20 running in the x and y directions, and thus has a square shape in the xy-plane.

[0068] As elements of a cooperating locking device, the support frame 24 has recesses 44 in the horizontal section 241, and the vertical uprights 14 each have corresponding projections 42. The projections 42 are each arranged in the support plates of the vertical uprights 14. When the heavy-duty double floor plate 20 is properly placed on the vertical supports 14, the projections 42 can engage in the recesses 44, thus enabling a horizontally fixed support of the heavy-duty double floor plate 20 relative to the vertical supports 14 in the xy direction.

[0069] The top surface 210 of the heavy-duty double floor panel 20 is formed by a top surface 244 of the vertical section 242 and a top surface 284 of the upper shell 28, which are directly adjacent to each other and lie in a common xy-plane. Accordingly, the top surface 210 is designed to be stepless and almost seamless.

[0070] Furthermore, a pin-shaped electrically conductive connecting element 34 is provided, which contacts the corrugated sheet 30, the lower shell 26 and the support frame 24 for the purpose of electrical potential equalization.

[0071] In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the support frame 24 is designed as a tubular frame, the struts of which are formed from a (rectangular) hollow profile with rounded corners. The lower shell 26 is arranged with the tubular frame in the heavy-duty double floor plate 20 and connected to each other in such a way that their undersides are flush with each other, and the lower shell 26 and tubular frame rest side by side on the vertical stand 14.

[0072] The upper shell 28 has a greater thickness in a horizontal section than the lower shell 26 in a horizontal section. In the example shown, the thickness of the upper shell 28 is a uniform 3 mm. The upper shell 28 is attached to the corrugated plate 30 by means of at least one adhesive bond arranged in a horizontal section 310 of a plateau. Additionally, the upper shell 28 is attached to the tubular frame by means of several spot welds.

[0073] The lower shell 26 is attached to the corrugated sheet 30 in at least one horizontal section 310 of a trench by means of an adhesive connection.

[0074] All side surfaces 220 of the heavy-duty double floor panel 20 are formed by both the tubular frame and the upper shell 28. The trough-shaped upper shell 28 is designed such that its vertical sections, which extend flat in the y-z plane, form the side wall 220, thereby defining the maximum horizontal extent of the heavy-duty double floor panel 20. Accordingly, a distinction is made between The upper shell 28 and the tubular frame are joined in a horizontal positive fit, thus preventing any horizontal relative movement of these components. The lower shell 26 and the corrugated sheet 30 each abut directly against the tubular frame in the horizontal direction, so that these components are also fixed horizontally against the tubular frame.

[0075] The top surface 210 of the heavy-duty double floor panel 20 is formed by the top surface 284 of the upper shell 28. The top surface 210 is designed to be stepless and seamless.
