The present invention relates to a raised access floor unit, particularly, to a raised access floor unit with simple structure and stability suitable for stone or tiles to be laid thereon.
For those working places widely using computers, distribution and laying-out of networks and other kind of lines are very important and necessary. Because each computer can only be connected or electrically connected with other computers through a network, intertwining of lines becomes more and more complicated when amount of equipment gets larger and larger. If in an office lines are exposed outside, they not only look ugly, but also affect walking of workers. A floor for networks because of being able to be elevated for assembling, it leaves at its bottom a space for threading and distribution of lines. Thereby for informationalization of a modem office, it has been a main trend to flexibly decide the amount of floors laid out in pursuance of the size of the space in an office.
Presently it is common in the art to use floor coverings such as carpets, stone or tiles on the raised access floor to make it pleasing to the eye. The structure of the conventional raised access floor, as shown in
In addition, while the stone is laid on the raised access floor, the raised access floor cannot be easily removed as the way using a cupule for a wooden floor due to the stone, thereby rendering construction inconvenient during the laying process.
In order to overcome the foregoing shortcomings and problems, after hard research and development, a raised access floor unit that substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art is provided by the present invention.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a raised access floor unit with simple structure, stability, and facilitation for combining stone or tiles.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a raised access floor unit having stone thereon, wherein the raised access floor unit is convenient to be removed by operators during the laying process.
In order to achieve the aforementioned object, the raised access floor unit according to the present invention comprises a frame member and a block member, the frame member has a receiving space for raw materials of the block member to be poured and harden inside the receiving space, characterized in that the bottom of the frame member is disposed with a plurality of T-shaped plate members, wherein the plurality of T-shaped plate members are formed directly from the bottom of the frame member so as to dispose the plurality of T-shaped plate members into the block member while the raw materials of the block member are poured to the frame member, thereby allowing the block member to be incorporated into the frame member securely.
In practice, the frame member is made of metal.
In practice, the frame member is disposed with folded flanks around the rim to form the receiving space, and the height of the plurality of T-shaped plate members are lower than the height of the folded flanks.
Other objects, advantages and novel features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Referring to
The frame member 1 is made of metal and the block member 2 is cement concrete. The peripheral rims of he frame member 1 is folded up to form folded flanks 11, thereby forming a receiving space 12 for raw materials of the block member 2 to be poured and harden inside the receiving space. The bottom of the frame member 1 is disposed with a plurality of T-shaped plate members 13, wherein the plurality of T-shaped plate members 13 are formed directly and integrally from the bottom of the frame member 1 (as shown in
Therefore, during production of the raised access floor unit, the plurality of T-shaped plate members 13 are formed directly from the bottom of the frame member 1, and the plurality of T-shaped plate members 13 can be formed with different size or height according to the usage demand except that the height of the plurality of T-shaped plate members 13 have to be lower than the height of the folded flanks 11, whereby the raw materials of the block member 2 (the cement concrete) can encompass the plurality of T-shaped plate members 13 on the bottom of the frame member 1 when poured into the receiving space 12 of the frame member 1 to make the frame member 1 tightly combined with the block member 2 by the plurality of T-shaped plate members 13. After the block member 2 cure and harden inside the frame member 1, a raised access floor unit is formed and can be assembled into large-area raised access floors, such that when user are about to lay stone or tiles thereon, the stone or tiles can be easily connected to and laid on the block member due to the material of cement concrete of the block member.
In addition, as shown in
Therefore, the present invention has the following advantages:
1. The present invention utilizes the design of the T-shaped plate members on the bottom of the raised access floor to hold the block member by the T-shaped plate members, and combine the frame member and block member tightly and securely.
2. The design of the T-shaped plate members can solve the problem of combining cement concrete and metal frame member securely, and also enhance the applicability of stone or tiles to be laid on the cement concrete, so as to facilitate the construction of adhesion or removal for the stone or tiles and prevent damage to the raised access floor unit.
3. The present invention utilizes the screw hole of the connecting part connected to the frame member and exposed after the pouring of cement concrete to lift the frame member by a hand tool engaging the screw hole, such that the position of the frame member can be easily be removed or adjusted while assembling the raised access floors.
As stated in the above disclosed, the present invention can surely achieve its expected objects to provide a raised access floor unit suitable for stone or tiles to lay thereon.
It should be understood that different modifications and variations could be made from the disclosures of the present invention by the people familiar in the art without departing the spirit of the present invention.
