The present invention relates to a floor through-passage molding apparatus, and especially to, a floor through-passage molding apparatus having a higher impact-resisting capacity.
In a current large building construction such as a manufactory construction, it is essential to adopt a through-passage forming apparatus or molding apparatus on preservation of a space required for each one of the through-passages. After poured into a circumambiency of the through-passage forming apparatus or molding apparatus, the concretes are set to form the through passages treated as ducts, supplying-water pipes or cable passageways, besides each of the concrete floor, simultaneously. In especial, a concrete floor located between a working level and a bottom returning-air passageway level of a high-class clean room needs disposal of the through passages thereon for ventilation. This would result in maintaining a higher ventilating quantity, elongating a length of the through passage and enlarging the through passage diameter, simultaneously, in addition that a thickness of the concrete floor is thickened to raise a bearing capacity of the manufactory floor. However, the elongation of the through-passage length would make a stressed region of the through-passage forming apparatus or molding apparatus against the concretes being widened.
Several conventional technologies, for examples, a Japanese Utility Model Publication No. H5-32586, a Japanese Pat. Publication No. H11-81663 and a Japanese Pat. Publication No. 2000-145142, have provided various through-passage forming apparatus or molding apparatus, most of which structurally and primarily have an upper cover, a lower cover, a hollow standing sleeve and a single retaining assembly.
Accordingly, it is essential to develop a through-passage molding apparatus capable of reinforcing its entire structure to resolve the aforementioned problem.
To eliminate the drawbacks of the aforementioned prior art, a primary objective of the present invention is to provide a floor through-passage molding apparatus which reinforces the entire structure thereof by a plurality of retaining assemblies of which retaining positions are arranged in coplanar arrangements, whereby during a process of forming a concrete floor through passage, a higher impact-resisting capacity is provided to prevent the floor through-passage molding apparatus from being deformed or slanted.
To achieve the aforementioned invention objective, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a floor through-passage molding apparatus adapted for a floor construction, which primarily and structurally comprises: a forming sleeve, a first covering plate assembly, a second covering plate assembly and a plurality of retaining assemblies.
Said forming sleeve has a sleeve wall defining a hollow channel, a first opening and a second opening, wherein the first opening and the second opening are communicated with each other via said hollow channel.
Said first covering plate assembly used with disposal on the first opening of said forming sleeve, has a supporting rack and a shielding plate located on said supporting rack, wherein said shielding plate further includes a central caved portion and an outer circular section surrounding said central caved portion. A region measurement defined within said outer circular section is larger than a region measurement defined by a bottom of said central caved portion. Said supporting rack further includes an annular portion, a seat portion and a plurality of ribs. Two ends of each of said plurality of ribs are radially connected to said annular portion and said seat portion, respectively. Said seat portion is used to support said shielding plate. Said annular portion surrounds and defines a central region measurement, and said shielding plate occupies between 20% and 100% of the central region measurement.
Said first covering plate assembly is defined with a plurality of corresponding retaining holes which includes a plurality of first retaining holes distributed on either the outer circular section or the central caved portion of the shielding plate in positions jointly defining a first plane, and a plurality of second retaining holes distributed on either the seat portion or the plurality of ribs of the supporting rack in corresponding to the distributed positions of the plurality of first retaining holes of said shielding plate. The distributed positions of said plurality of second retaining holes jointly define a second plane.
Said second covering plate assembly used with disposal on the second opening of said forming sleeve, is defined with a plurality of corresponding retaining holes, which includes a plurality of third retaining holes distributed on the second covering plate assembly in positions jointly defining a third plane.
The first plane, the second plane and the third plane respectively defined by the distributed positions among the plurality of first retaining holes, the second retaining holes and the third retaining holes all are a polygon, e.g. a triangle, a quadrangle, a pentagon and so on. In another embodiment, said polygon is an equilateral polygon, e.g. an equilateral triangle, an equilateral quadrangle and an equilateral pentagon and so on.
Said plurality of retaining assemblies pass through the hollow channel of said forming sleeve, each of which has outer threads formed on two opposite ends thereof. The outer thread of each of the ends is used to match a corresponding nut, wherein the two opposite ends of each of the retaining assemblies respectively pass through the plurality of first retaining holes, the second retaining holes and the third retaining holes of the first covering plate assembly and the second covering plate assembly. By further screwing the corresponding nut, the two opposite ends of said plurality of retaining assemblies are respectively retained to the plurality of corresponding retaining holes of the first covering plate assembly and the second covering plate assembly. By retaining the two opposite ends of said plurality of retaining assemblies to the plurality of first retaining holes, the second retaining holes and the third retaining holes, a plurality of retaining positions of said plurality of retaining assemblies can be arranged in a coplanar arrangement on each plane of the first plane of the shielding plate, the second planes of the supporting rack in the first covering plate assembly and the third plane of the second covering plate assembly to constitute a multi-level and multi-position retaining for reinforcing the entire structure of the apparatus. During a process of forming a concrete floor through passage, a higher impact-resisting capacity can be provided, especially in providing the floor through-passage molding apparatus with a horizontal firm assembly so as to prevent the floor through-passage molding apparatus from being deformed or slanted.
To explicitly realize the aforementioned context of the present invention, the following paragraphs citing various preferred embodiments by reference to the following detailed description, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings as followings.
