DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

A description will be particularly given below of embodiments for carrying out a double floor member according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 22 are drawings which are referred to for describing a floor panel 20 (a double floor member) according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

In the floor panel 20 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, a description will be given by showing four floor panels 20 connected to a server rack 200 in a case that one server rack 200 is installed to an upper surface of the floor panels 20, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19.

The floor panel 20 according to the present embodiment is constructed by mainly having a panel main body portion 21, a tile 22 which is attached to an upper surface of the panel main body portion 21, a guide rail 24 which is arranged so as to be embedded within the panel main body portion 21, a slide member 27 (a first connection member) which is arranged within the guide rail 24, and a connection member 34 (a second connection member) which is connected to the slide member 27, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.

The panel main body portion 21 is a die casting product which employs an aluminum alloy as its material, and is constructed by having a flat plate portion 21a which forms an upper surface of the panel main body portion 21, and a plurality of ribs 21b which are integrally formed in a back surface side of the flat plate portion 21a (refer to FIGS. 5 and 6).

Each of the plurality of ribs 21b of the panel main body portion 21 protrudes out of the back surface side of the flat plate portion 21a in an underfloor direction (a lower side direction in FIGS. 5 and 6) and is formed into a grid in such a manner that a length is elongated in both vertical and horizontal directions (an up-and-down direction and a right-and-left direction in FIG. 2) along a horizontal surface of the flat plate portion 21a. The panel main body portion 21 is structured such that a strength thereof is improved by forming the plurality of ribs 21b.

Further, a through hole 21c passing through in a thickness direction (an up-and-down direction in the drawing) of the flat plate portion 21a is formed in the flat plate portion 21a of the panel main body portion 21 in such a manner as to elongate in a vertical direction to the paper surface of the drawing as shown in FIG. 6.

The through hole 21c is formed in such a manner as to have a greater opening width than a width (a length in a right-and-left direction of the drawing) of the guide rail 24 in such a manner as to allow the guide rail 24 to be embedded into the panel main body portion 21, as shown in FIG. 6.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, an upper end portion of the rib 21b is scraped away at a position where the rib 21b is formed in a lower side of the through hole 21c, in such a manner as to allow the guide rail 24 to be embedded into the panel main body portion 21.

Since the rib 21b is formed into the grid in such a manner that its length is elongated in both the vertical and horizontal directions along the horizontal surface of the flat plate portion 21a, a lower surface of the bottom plate portion 24a of the guide rail 24 is supported to the upper surface of the plurality of ribs 21b which are scraped away (refer to FIG. 8). As a result, the guide rail 24 is arranged so as not to fall off toward a lower side in FIG. 6.

Further, a tile 22 such as a vinyl chloride P-tile and a high pressure laminate (HPL) tile is attached to an upper surface side of the flat plate portion 21a of the panel main body portion 21, and an outer peripheral portion forming each of sides of the floor panel 20 is machine cut together in a state in which the tile 22 is attached to the flat plate portion 21a of the panel main body portion 21. As a result, the outer peripheral portion of each of the sides of the floor panel 20 is formed with a high dimensional precision (for example, ±0.1 mm or less).

Further, a through hole 22a passing through in a thickness direction of the tile 22 (an up-and-down direction in the drawing) is formed at a position corresponding to the through hole 21c which is formed in the flat plate portion 21a of the panel main body portion 21, as shown in FIG. 6, in such a manner as to be communicated with the through hole 21c.

The guide rail 24 is formed into a C-shaped form (refer to FIG. 6) in its cross sectional shape which is vertical to the length direction thereof by using a steel material as its material, and is embedded into the panel main body portion 21 so as not to protrude out of the upper surface of the tile 22 in a state in which an opening portion of the C-shaped form looks toward an upward direction (an upper side in the drawing) (such a state that the C-shaped form is turned at 90 degree in a counterclockwise direction).

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, two guide rails 24 provided in one floor panel 20 are arranged so as to extend in a right-and-left direction in the drawing from an approximately right end portion in the drawing of the floor panel 20 over an approximately left end portion in the drawing so that their length directions are in parallel to each other.

Further, the guide rails 24 provided respectively in two floor panels 20 which are adjacent to each other in the right-and-left direction in FIG. 2 are arranged so as to be continuous in the right-and-left direction in FIG. 2 by aligning their positions in the up-and-down direction in FIG. 2.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of through holes 24b formed so that inner peripheral surfaces thereof are inclined are formed in a bottom plate portion 24a (refer to FIG. 6) in an opposite side to the opening portion in the guide rail 24 so as to be spaced at predetermined distances in a length direction of the guide rail 24, each of the through hole 24b passing through in a thickness direction of the bottom plate portion 24a and being smaller in its opening area toward a lower side in FIG. 8.

Further, the through hole 24b of the bottom plate portion 24a is arranged at a position where the rib 21b is not formed in a lower side of the bottom plate portion 24a, as shown in FIG. 8, in such a manner as to prevent a male thread portion 29b of a flat head bolt 29 mentioned later from coming into contact with the rib 21b.

Further, the male thread portion 29b of the flat head bolt 29 is inserted into the through hole 24b of the bottom plate portion 24a as shown in FIG. 8, and a head portion 29a of the flat head bolt 29 is stored within the through hole 24b of the bottom plate portion 24a in such a manner as to prevent an upper surface thereof from protruding out of the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 24a.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a plate member 25 which is vertical to a length direction thereof and is formed into an inverted U-shaped form in its cross section is arranged in a leading end portion of the rib 21b having the greatest dimension in the length protruding out of the back surface side of the flat plate portion 21a in the underfloor direction (the lower direction in FIG. 6) among the plurality of ribs 21b of the panel main body portion 21 in such a manner that an upper plate portion 25a in an opposite side to an opening portion thereof comes into contact therewith (refer to FIG. 8),

The plate member 25 is formed into the inverted U-shaped form (refer to FIG. 6) in a cross sectional shape which is vertical to the length direction. As a result, a strength in the case that the upper plate portion 25a is pulled upward is improved in comparison with the case that the plate member is formed into a tabular shape.

Further, the plate member 25 is formed so as to have approximately the same length as that of the guide rail 24, and is arranged so as to be along the length direction of the guide rail 24 (a right-and-left direction in FIG. 7) in a lower side in a vertical direction of the guide rail 24 (refer to FIG. 6).

Further, a female thread hole 25b passing through in a thickness direction thereof (an up-and-down direction in the drawing) is formed in the upper plate portion 25a of the plate member 25, as shown in FIG. 8, at a position corresponding to the through hole 24b of the bottom plate portion 24a in the guide rail 24.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a leading end portion of the male thread portion 29b in the flat bolt 29 protruding downward in the drawing is threadably fastened to the female thread hole 25b of the plate member 25 by inserting into the through hole 24b of the bottom plate portion 24 in the guide rail 24.

Therefore, in the case that the guide rail 24 embedded into the panel main body portion 21 is going to lift upward, an inclined inner peripheral surface of the through hole 24b of the bottom plate portion 24a in the guide rail 24 is engaged with a lower surface of the head portion 29a of the flat head bolt 29, and the upper surface of the upper plate portion 25a in the plate member 25 threadably fastened to the leading end portion of the male thread portion 29b in the flat head bolt 29 is engaged with the lower surface of the rib 21b in the panel main body portion 21. As a result, the guide rail 24 is fixed to the panel main body portion 21 so as not to lift upward,

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, four slide members 27 are arranged within the guide rail 24 so as to be movable along a length direction of the guide rail 24 (a right-and-left direction in the drawing).

The slide member 27 is integrally formed so as to have a lower plate portion 27b in a lower side of the drawing, and a protruding portion 27c which protrudes upward from a center portion in the right-and-left direction of the drawing in the lower plate portion 27b, as shown in FIG. 6, by using a steel material as a material thereof. As a result, the slide member 27 is formed into a convex shape (refer to FIG. 6) in a cross sectional shape which is vertical to the length direction of the guide rail 24.

Further, the slide member 27 is arranged within the guide rail 24 in a state in which a lower surface of the lower plate portion 27b comes into contact with the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 24a of the guide rail 24 and the protruding portion 27c is inserted into the opening portion of the guide rail 24, as shown in FIG. 6,

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, an opening portion 27d formed so that an inner peripheral surface thereof is inclined is formed in an upper surface side of the slide member 27 in such a manner that an opening area thereof becomes smaller toward a lower side in the drawing. Further, a female thread hole 27a communicating with the opening portion 27d is formed in the slide member 27.

As mentioned above, the head portion 29a (refer to FIG. 8) of the flat head bolt 29 is stored within the through hole 24a of the bottom plate portion 24a in such a manner as to prevent the upper surface thereof from protruding upward from the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 24a in the guide rail 24. As a result, the slide member 27 does not come into collision with the head portion 29a of the flat head bolt 29 in the case that the slide member 27 is moved along the length direction of the guide rail 24, so that the slide member 27 can be moved freely from an end portion in a right side in FIG. 2 of the guide rail 24 to an end portion in a left side in the drawing.

Further, as mentioned above, the guide rails 24 respectively provided in two floor panels 20 which are adjacent to each other in the right-and-left direction of FIG. 2 are arranged so as to be continuous in the right-and-left direction of FIG. 2 by aligning the positions in the up-and-down direction of FIG. 2 each other. As a result, the slide member 27 can move while overstriding between two floor panels 20 which are adjacent to each other in the right-and-left direction of FIG. 2.

Further, a width of the lower plate portion 27b in the slide member 27 (a length in the right-and-left direction of FIG. 6) is formed to be greater than a width of an opening which is open to the upper side of the guide rail 24 (a length in the right-and-left direction of FIG. 6).

As a result, since the upper surface of the lower plate portion 27b engages with the inner peripheral surface in the opening portion side of the guide rail 24 even in the case that the slide member 27 is pulled upward in the drawing, the slide member is restricted to move upward in FIG. 6.

As mentioned above, the slide member 27 is formed so as not to get away (separate) from the guide rail 24 through the opening portion of the guide rail 24 even in the case that the slide member 27 is pulled upward in the drawing,

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the connection member 34 is arranged in the upper surface of the tile 22 in the floor panel 20. The connection member 34 is formed into an approximately box shape (refer to FIG. 11), as shown in FIG. 9, by having a top plate portion 34b which is formed into a plate shape having an approximately rectangular upper surface 34a, four side plate portions 34c (refer to FIGS. 12 and 13) which are formed by being folded approximately vertically downward from four sides of the top plate portion 34b, and folded portions 34g (refer to FIGS. 12 and 13) which are folded approximately vertically from lower end portions of the side plate portions 34c toward a center side of the connection member 34.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, two through holes 34d are formed in the connection member 34, the through hole 34d passing through in a thickness direction of the top plate portion 34b (an up-and-down direction in FIG. 12) and having an opening shape extending in the up-and-down direction in the drawing and formed into a long hole.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the connection member 34 is provided with a rail member 36 which is bonded to a lower surface 34i of the top plate portion 34b so as to cover the opening portion of the through hole 34d from a lower side in the drawing, and is formed into an approximately U-shaped form in a cross sectional shape which is vertical to the length direction thereof (a right-and-left direction in FIG. 13).

The rail member 35 is formed by a bottom plate portion 35a in an opposite side to the U-shaped opening portion side, and two side plate portions 35b which are folded approximately vertically upward respectively from both end portions in a width direction of the bottom plate portion 35a (the right-and-left direction in FIG. 12) and extend upward in the drawing.

Further, an upper end portion in the drawing of the side plate portion 35b in the rail member 35 is bonded by welding to the lower surface 34i of the top plate portion 34b and an opening portion of the through hole 34d is accordingly covered from a lower side in the drawing over a length direction (an up-and-down direction in FIG. 9).

Further, four through holes 34e are formed in the connection member 34 so as to be spaced at predetermined distances in the up-and-down direction of the drawing, as shown in FIG. 9, the through hole 34e passing through in the thickness direction of the top plate portion 34b (the up-and-down direction in FIG. 13), and having a long-hole shaped opening shape extending in the right-and-left direction of the drawing.

Further, as shown in FIG. 13, a peripheral portion of the through hole 34e in the top plate portion 34b is folded diagonally downward so that a height thereof is reduced toward the through hole 34e. As a result, an inclined surface 34h inclining toward a lower side in the drawing from the upper surface 34a is formed in the top plate portion 34b to be along the through hole 34e extending in the right-and-left direction in FIG. 9, so that a height thereof is reduced toward the through hole 34e.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, a plate-shaped rib 34f formed into an approximately rectangular shape in a cross sectional shape which is vertical to the length direction (refer to FIG. 13) is bonded between two through holes 34e which are adjacent to each other, in the lower surface 34i of the top plate portion 34b, so as to be approximately in parallel to the length direction of the through hole 34e,

Further, the connection member 34 is arranged so that four through holes 34e each formed into a long hole which is longer in the right-and-left direction in FIG. 9 are respectively communicated with female through holes 27a and opening portions 27d (refer to FIGS. 6 and 8) of four slide members 27 (refer to FIG. 7) arranged within the guide rail 24.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a leading end portion of the male thread portion 39b of the flat head bolt 39 (the fixing bolt) is inserted into the through hole 34e of the connection member 34 and the opening portion (refer to FIG. 6) of the guide rail 24 and is threadably fastened to the female thread hole 27a of the slide member 27. As a result, the connection member 34 is connected to the slide member 27 which is movable along the guide rail 24.
