- The present invention relates to a grate panel with upright brace structures, and more particularly, to a grate panel equipped essentially with a plurality of upright brace structures and thereby capable of high-strength load bearing.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Presently, commercially available grate panels are used in the following: 1. partitions of various plants, such as power generation plants, incinerators, sewage treatment plants, and petrochemical plants; 2. platforms and passageways; 3. treads of staircases; 4. cement products manufacturing plants; 5. drainage ditch covers for use with drainage ditches in roads, mass transit railways, bridges, parking lots, parks, urban restructuring areas, and industrial zones; and 6. locker racks, and fences.
- A grate panel is typically composed of load-bearing flat steel bars aligned in the lengthwise direction of the grate panel, and transverse bars spaced apart from one another at a particular distance, wherein the bars are welded together by a high-voltage resistance welding machine and go through such processes as cutting, incision, boring, and overedging to become a finished product that meets customers' needs.
- In general, conventional grate panels have their drawbacks, namely high production costs, complicated manufacturing processes, and insufficient structural strength. In view of the drawbacks of the prior art, the inventor of the present invention endeavored to improve the conventional grate panels.
- A primary object of the present invention is to provide a grate panel with upright brace structures. A plurality of upright brace structures are longitudinally aligned and surrounded by side panels, and a plurality of reinforcing panels are transversely aligned and surrounded by the side panels, wherein the plurality of reinforcing panels are disposed between the spaced-apart upright brace structures to reinforce the grate panel with the upright brace structures. Each of the upright brace structures is a three-layer structure comprising an upper-positioned reinforcing bar, an intermediate-positioned upright brace, and a lower-positioned reinforcing bar, and is vertically aligned inside the side panels. The reinforcing panels connect the corrugate upright braces to one another at appropriately spaced locations, so as to provide structural reinforcement transversely. Accordingly, the present invention is applicable to technology-based plants nowadays.
- The above and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings.
- The other objects and features of the present invention can be more fully understood by referring to the following description of the preferred embodiment and accompanying drawings, in which
