Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a floor wiring device.

[Conventional technology]

For example, in offices and the like, it is necessary to install many OA devices, but as the number of these OA devices increases, the number of wirings to them also increases. Conventionally, these wirings are exposed in the room, which causes problems in many aspects such as aesthetics of the room. To solve these problems, a free access floor was proposed. One of them is shown in FIG. The same floor structure is
A number of adjusters 2, which are vertically adjustable and are arranged on the floor substrate 1, and the adjusters 2 ,.
A floor panel (floor member) 3 laid on the above, and a carpet (surface finishing material) 4 laid so as to match the upper surfaces of the floor panels 3 ... According to this floor structure, the wiring can be passed through the lower space 5 of the floor panel 3 ... FIG. 4 and FIG. 4 show a wiring device that uses this free access floor system to guide wiring to the floor to connect wiring from the floor. The wiring device includes a box 7 fitted in a rectangular hole 6 formed in the floor panel 3. The box 7 is provided with horizontal mounting seats 8 and 8 on both sides thereof, and the mounting seats 8 and 8 are mounted on the inner peripheral edge portion of the hole 6 of the floor panel 3 and fixed by screws 9 ... It is designed to be attached to the floor panel 3. After the box 7 is attached to the floor panel 3,
An outlet (connection receiver) 10 is attached to the box 7. The outlet 10 is attached to the upper surface of an appliance block 11, and a cord (wiring) 12 led from the lower space 5 through the inside of the box 7 is connected before the block 11 is put in the box 7. It is like this. The outlet 10 projects upward from the equipment block 11 so that a plug 14 of a cord 13 from an OA device or the like on the floor can be fitted therein. after that,
The carpet 4 is laid and the floor is finished.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

By the way, in the wiring device, a box 7 is conventionally formed so as to project slightly above the floor panel 3, and a floor plate 15 is separately attached to the outer peripheral portion of the upper end of the box 7 to provide the carpet. It was designed to cover the vicinity of the inner peripheral edge of the opening 4 from above. According to this, dust and the like enter between the floor plate 15 and the carpet 4, and the aesthetics of the room is impaired. Moreover, since the floor plate 15 is hard and exposed with a certain thickness on the carpet 4, there is a risk that a person may trip over or fall over. Also,
If one of the legs such as a desk or furniture rests on the plate 15, a level difference may occur between the leg and the other leg. When a caster of a chair, legs of a wagon, or the like passes over the plate 15, rattling occurs.

In view of the above circumstances, the problem to be solved by this invention is to prevent the appearance of the room from being spoiled by dust and the like, and to eliminate the risk of people tripping or falling, and desks or other rattling. It is to prevent rattling even if a chair or a wagon passes by.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides that the box is installed so that its upper surface is at substantially the same height level as the upper surface of the floor member, and along the outer circumference of the upper surface of the box. An outer frame is provided, and inside the outer frame,
A surface finishing material made of the same material as the surface finishing material is provided so as to have the same height level as that of the surface finishing material laid on the floor member, and on the floor member around the outer periphery of the outer frame. The inner peripheral edge of the opening of the surface finish material comes to come.

The box is installed such that the upper surface of the box is at substantially the same height level as the upper surface of the floor member, and the upper surface of the box has a surface finish laid on the floor member. A surface finishing material made of the same material as the surface finishing material is provided so as to have the same height level as that of the material, and the inner peripheral edge of the opening of the surface finishing material on the floor member is located around the outer periphery of the surface finishing material. In this case, since the floor plate is omitted, dust and the like do not enter between the surface finishing material on the floor member and the plate. Since the top surface of the equipment is made of surface finish material and is at the same level as the surface finish material on the floor member, people are not tripped, and even if a desk leg etc. is placed on the upper side of the equipment, it is always the same as other legs. To be the height of.

Moreover, an outer frame is provided along the outer periphery of the upper surface of the box,
By providing a surface finish on the inside of this outer frame, the surface finish covering the box is well protected by the outer frame during manufacturing, transportation and storage of the box, or during the construction of the box. This prevents the peripheral edge of the surface finish material from being damaged or scratched. In particular, when the surface finishing material is a pile carpet or the like, there is no problem that the yarn sticks out to the outer periphery or the yarn is frayed from the periphery.
