Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention is related to a structure of raised access floor for networks, and especially to a structure of raised access floor that is structurally simple, steady and easy for positioning after assembling, not subjected to influencing of an uneven ground and having good grounding effect; it is suitable for use for network-line laying out in a house or an office etc.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Distribution and laying out of networks and other kind of lines are very important and necessary. Because each computer can only be connected with a host or connected electrically through a network, the intertwinding of lines becomes more and more complicated when amount of equipment get larger and larger. If lines are exposed outside, they not only look ugly, but also affect walking by of people.
- A floor for networks can be elevated for assembling, it leaves a space for threading and distribution of lines; thereby it has been of the main trend for informationalization of modern office. Related raised access floors for networks in the markets presently have much improvement upon those raised access floors developed in the initial stage, and there are various in kinds of products. Referring to
FIGS. 12-13 showing a conventional raised access floor for networks, the floor includes a plurality of floor units A and a plurality of raising seats B (the raising seats B can be of the specification as shown inFIG. 12A ). Wherein the four peripheral edges of each floor unit A are folded down to form folded flanks A1; the top surface of each raising seat B has a crossed slit B1, each crossed slit B1 can receive therein two folded flanks A1 formed on two floor units A. By the fact that each raising seat B can be used to raise a corner of each of four floor units A, in this way, a large raised access floor for networks can be formed. - In fact, designing of a raised access floor for networks with good quality, in addition to being easy for mold opening and production, shall have the consideration of the convenience in arrangement and positioning in construction in site as well as of the acquiring of stable supporting of the floor units after assembling without being subjected to shaking and influencing of an uneven ground. However, although the aforesaid raised access floor for networks can achieve its object of use, it still has the following defects:
- 1. Its raising seats are each integrally formed to have a fixed appearance; they cannot be adjusted in pursuance of the unevenness of a ground. When the ground is uneven in construction, the seats tend to get upwardly bending corners; and if the ground is recessed, a case that the floor units are hard to insert for being received can be induced.
- 2. Each slit on a raising seat shall have a width to make tight mating of two folded flanks on two floor units therein, this makes a situation that insertion of only one folded flank may induce loosening that renders the second folded flank hard to insert. Similarly, when floor units are removed for repairing or line distribution afterwards, lifting of a floor unit will make loosening and displacement of the neighboring floor unit relative to its corresponding seat, this renders construction inconvenient and accuracy of construction largely reduced.
- 3. Electric grounding of the floor units can only be achieved by mutual contact of the surfaces of the ground with the floor units after engaging of the folded flanks in the slits, as stated above, the ground is not completely even, and the thickness of each floor unit is not completely precise nor uniform, the entire structure after assembling is subjected to shaking, thereby grounding effect is not ideal. Especially in those countries using 220 volts electrically, it is unable to make suitable dealing with grounding.
- In view of these, the inventor of the present invention developed a structure of raised access floor for networks based on their professional experience of years on raised access floors to solve the above stated problems.
- The primary object of the present invention is to provide a structure of raised access floor that is not subjected to influencing of an uneven ground, and is structurally simple, steady and easy for positioning after assembling.
- The secondary object of the present invention is to provide a structure of raised access floor which is good in grounding and can increase the strength of supporting structurally.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a structure of raised access floor which is easy for drawing out lines.
- To achieve the above stated objects, the structure of a raised access floor of the present invention comprises: a plurality of floor units and a plurality of supporting seats.
- In the present invention, the four peripheral edges of each floor unit are folded down to form folded flanks; each supporting seat is located beneath the center of four mutually neighboring floor units to support the four floor units. The present invention is characterized by that: each supporting seat is composed of a crossed member and four pedestals integrally connecting therewith; the crossed member is located to be lower than the tops of the pedestals, and has between every two neighboring pedestals at least a separating piece.
- Thereby, the four floor units can be separated mutually to have their positions limited by the separating pieces after the folded flanks of the floor units are received in the crossed member, and the floor units can be clung evenly on the tops of their corresponding pedestals.
- The present invention will be apparent after reading the detailed description of the preferred embodiment thereof in reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 12A is an analytic perspective view showing the appearance of another conventional raised access floor; -
FIG. 13 is a side view showing the state after conventional floor units are placed in a supporting seat. - Referring firstly to
FIGS. 1-5 showing a preferred embodiment of the structure of raised access floor for networks of the present invention, the structure comprises: a plurality offloor units 1 and a plurality of supportingseats 2. - Each of the
floor units 1 has four peripheral edges folded down to form foldedflanks 11. - The supporting
seats 2 are integrally formed of PE or plastic material. Each supportingseat 2 is located beneath the center of four mutually neighboringfloor units 1 to support the latter. Such a supportingseat 2 is composed of acrossed member 21 and fourpedestals 22 integrally connecting therewith; thecrossed member 21 is located to be lower than the tops of thepedestals 22, and has between every two neighboring pedestals 22 a separatingpiece 211. - Thereby, the four
floor units 1 can be separated mutually to have their positions limited by theseparating pieces 211 after the foldedflanks 11 of thefloor units 1 are received in thecrossed member 21, and thefloor units 1 can be clung evenly on the tops of theircorresponding pedestals 22. So that easiness of assembling can be attained, and no loosening or hard receiving during assembling can occur. - Referring again to
FIGS. 1-5 , when in practicing, the middle sections of theseparating pieces 211 can be interrupted (as shown in FIG. 3) in favor of easy insertion of thefloor units 1. Eachfloor unit 1 has on its one peripheral edge anarciform notch 13, so that when two arciform notches 13 of twofloor units 1 are juxtaposed with each other, aline outlet 4 is formed (as shown inFIGS. 4, 5 ). Two “L” shapedstop pieces 212 are provided respectively at the two lateral sides of each of the separatingpieces 211 for firm positioning of thefloor units 1. - Referring simultaneously to
FIGS. 1, 3 , wherein eachpedestal 22 is hollow; and the supportingseat 2 can be inserted therein with ametal post 4 for reinforcement in supporting. Themetal post 4 is cylindrical, and has a plurality ofnotches 41 spaced away mutually to form a castle-like form. The diagonally opposite four corners of the fourpedestals 22 of the supportingseat 2 can be changed to formarciform corner walls 221 to encircle a round space, this can allow insertion of themetal post 4 from below the supportingseat 2. Thereby, the supportingseat 2 can be added therein with themetal post 4 during assembling, this not only can increase firmness of the supportingseat 2, but also can increase the fireproof effect by having the metal material. - In addition to this, to meet the requirement of those countries using 220 volts electrically in grounding, the supporting
seat 2 provided in the present invention can be covered with a grounding metal pad-piece 23 on the crossedmember 21 of the supportingseat 2 when in manufacturing in a factory (as shown inFIGS. 1, 2 ), hence in construction, when thefloor units 1 are placed in the supportingseat 2, thefloor units 1 can be directly pressed upon the grounding metal pad-piece 23 to make grounding of thefloor units 1 through the grounding metal pad-piece 23. - As shown in
FIGS. 1-5 , when in laying out, themetal post 4 is placed from below the supportingseat 2 to render the crossedmember 21 in the supportingseat 2 to be abutted against and fixed on thenotches 41 of themetal post 4. Then the supportingseat 2 is well placed on the ground, and thefloor units 1 can be inserted one by one in the crossedmember 21 in the supporting seat 2 (thearciform notches 13 of thefloor units 1 all direct to the same center). When in insertion of afloor unit 1, its peripheral foldedflanks 11 are limited between theircorresponding separating pieces 211 and pedestals 22 to avoid inconvenience of insertion ofother floor units 1 induced by loosening of thefirst floor unit 1. And thefloor units 1 can directly press upon the grounding metal pad-piece 23 in insertion, so that thefloor units 1 can make grounding through the grounding metal pad-piece 23. When an electrician works in construction, he may make grounding at any of thefloor units 1 at a suitable location. - After assembling, if it is desired to repair, a tool can be used to pry a
floor unit 1 taking advantage of acorresponding arciform notch 13. And during line distribution, anarciform notch 13 of afloor unit 1 can be changed in direction to make anotherarciform notch 13 of anotherfloor unit 1 opposite thereto to form a hole 14 (as shown inFIG. 5 ), this is benefit to drawing out lines thereunder. - Further referring to
FIGS. 6-7 , to make a better fireproof effect to reach the “0” class fireproof standard, everypedestal 22 can be filled therein withlight cement 5, and the bottom of thepedestal 22 can be tightly sealed with anadhesive coating 6, in order that thepedestal 22 can be a closed solid member. - Besides, for the purpose of rendering the grounding metal pad-
piece 23 to be placed on the supportingseat 2 more stably, the crossedmember 21 in the supportingseat 2 can be provided with apole 24 protruding upwardly from the central crossedmember 21 of the supportingseat 2 for fixedly engaging of the grounding metal pad-piece 23 thereon; thepole 24 is further provided thereon with alocking hole 241. - Further referring to
FIGS. 8-11 , in addition to the above stated ways of grounding, in the present invention, every peripheral foldedflank 11 has at one end a foldedpiece 15 split therefrom for an angle, the length of the foldedpiece 15 is larger than that of the foldedflank 11. When afloor unit 1 is placed on a supportingseat 2, every foldedpiece 15 on one of the four peripheral sides can extend over acorresponding separating piece 211 of the supportingseat 2; so that when anotherfloor unit 1 is placed on the supportingseat 2, one of its foldedflanks 11 can exactly contact a corresponding foldedpiece 15. Therefore,plural floor units 1 can make contact with one another to form electric connection. Besides, once one of thefloor units 1 is suitably positioned, and agrounding pipe line 16 is mounted and locked, eachfloor unit 1 electrically connecting with one another can get the grounding effect for the entire raised access floor through thegrounding pipe line 16. - Summarily, the present invention thereby has the following advantages:
- 1. The structure of raised access floor for networks of the present invention is simple structurally and easy for assembling. With the design of separating pieces, even a single one floor unit can make itself fixed when it is inserted in, and its corresponding supporting seat will not be loosened to affect assembling of another floor unit. The entire structure is very firm after assembling. And in practical constructional distribution, thickness of the separating pieces is very thin, and the floor will be added with articles such as rectangular blankets etc. after construction, no worry is supposed to have about something will drop or be blocked by the separating pieces.
- 2. Each supporting seat of the present invention is composed of a crossed member and four pedestals integrally connecting therewith; hence the entire structure is softer and more flexible, the crossed member and four pedestals are connected mutually but not completely fixed nor inflexible, the structure can be adjusted by slight bending in pursuance of unevenness of a ground to facilitate assembling in construction.
- 3. Each supporting seat of the present invention is provided therein with a cylindrical metal post to largely increase the firmness of the supporting seat. And the metal material can increase the fireproof effect of the supporting seat. Alternatively, each pedestal can be filled therein with light cement, and the bottom of the pedestal can be tightly sealed with an adhesive coating to get an even better fireproof effect to reach the “0” class fireproof standard.
- 4. Each supporting seat of the present invention is covered with a grounding metal pad-piece on the crossed member of the supporting seat when in manufacturing in a factory, hence in construction, floor units can be directly pressed upon the grounding metal pad-piece to make ground contacting of the floor units. There is no need of other construction for grounding; thereby it is very convenient and time saving in construction.
- 5. When in assembling the floor, and during line distribution, it needs only to change the direction of an arciform notch of a floor unit to be opposite to another arciform notch of another floor unit to form a hole, this is benefit to drawing out lines thereunder.
- The embodiment given is only for illustrating the present invention, and not for giving any limitation to the scope of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in this art that various modifications or changes without departing from the spirit of this invention shall also fall within the scope of the appended claims.
