Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily manufacture free-accessible floors having several kinds of specifications by providing a plurality of sections in a frame member, and by fitting a plurality of fitting panels in various combinations in the sections while leaving predetermined sections open. CONSTITUTION:A frame member 2 having its inside which is partitioned by ribs 1... into a plurality of sections is supported at a desired height above a floor base. Then, a plurality of fitting panels 3 are removably fitted in the sections in the frame member 2 so as to close the openings of the sections. By suitably selecting kinds of the fitting panels 3 and places to be fitted with the panels 3, free-accessible floor members A, A can be obtained, leaving desired sections open. Further, a large-size computer 4 or the like is installed on the opened sections in the floor members A, and cooling pipes, power supply cables laid underneath the floor are led out through the opened sections in the floor members A, A, and are then connected to connections 5a, 6a of the computer or the like.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a free access floor material used in computer rooms and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 shows a conventional example of a free access floor material. The free access floor material A is spread over a floor base (not shown) at an appropriate height to form the floor panel surface of the computer room. A large electronic device 4 such as a computer is installed on the floor panel surface, and a cooling pipe 5, an air conditioning hole, or a power supply cable 6 to the electronic device 4 is installed in the electronic device 4 by utilizing an underfloor space. It is drawn to just below.

In order to connect these pipes and the like to the electronic equipment 4, the free access floor A is provided with an opening 7. As shown in FIG. 3 (a), this opening 7 is aligned with the arrangement of the connection parts 5 a, 6 a in the electronic device 4 and the like, as shown in FIG. 3 (b).
Various types are used as shown in (c) and (d).

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, the electronic device 4 installed on the floor panel is used.
Depending on the type, it is necessary to use free-access flooring materials having different opening sizes and opening positions, so that it has a drawback of lacking versatility.

The present invention has been made to solve the above drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a free-access flooring material A having high versatility.

[0006]

According to the present invention, as described above, the object is to divide the inside of the frame into a plurality of portions by ribs 1 and to raise the height appropriately from a floor base by a supporting device as shown in FIG. By providing a free access floor material A including a frame member 2 installed in the frame member 2 and a plurality of fitting panels 3 that are detachably fitted in the compartments of the frame member 2 and close the openings of the frame member 2. To be achieved.

[0007]

The free access flooring A has a frame member 2 divided into a plurality of ribs 1, and the opening of the frame member 2 is closed by a plurality of fitting panels 3. As a result, a free access floor material having various openings can be obtained only by changing the combination of the fitting panels 3.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a floor panel surface to which the present invention is applied. The floor panel surface is formed by laying a plurality of free access floor materials A, A ... At an appropriate height from a floor base (not shown), and on the floor panel surface, a large electronic device such as a computer is installed. 4 is installed.

The cooling pipe 5 or the power supply cable 6 to the electronic equipment 4 is laid in the underfloor space between the floor panel surface and the floor base, and is pulled out from the free access floor material A to be installed in the equipment. 4 is connected.

As shown in FIG. 1, the free access floor material A is composed of a frame member 2 and a fitting panel 3,
The frame member 2 and the fitting panel 3 are formed of a metal material such as aluminum die casting so as to have sufficient strength to withstand the weight of the electronic device 4. Also,
The frame member 2 is partitioned in a lattice by a plurality of ribs 1, 1, ... Arranged in the center, holds the fitting panel 3 described later, and improves the overall strength.

The fitting panel 3 is provided with a rising wall 8 for guiding so that it can be fitted and installed in the lattice of the frame member 2, and the frame member is fitted in the lattice while being fitted therein. Close the 2nd opening. In addition, a plurality of types of fitting panels 3 (two types, in the illustrated embodiment, a square type corresponding to each lattice and a rectangular type that half-closes half of the frame member 2 at a time) are prepared in advance. Selected and used according to the installation site.

Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to install the electronic device 4, first, the connecting portions 5a, 6 of the electronic device 4 are installed.
By simply removing the fitting panel 3 corresponding to a,
In addition, the joining opening can be formed at a desired position.

Further, it is possible to open a corner of free access which could not be opened conventionally. It should be noted that the fitting panel 3 having the same shape as that of the frame member 2 may be used for the free access floor material A where the electronic device 4 is not installed.

[0014]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily manufacture the free access floor coverings having different specifications, so that the versatility can be improved.
