Description

Self-leveling floor box for mechanisms electrical

The purpose of this utility model is to a floor box for the location and connection of mechanisms electrical, such as plug bases and socket plates voice and data transmission networks, essentially characterized due to its special design, which gives it the condition of self-adjusting

As a consequence of development and the ever increased use of these voice and data transmission networks, as well as of the consequent power supply, installations are carried out not recessed, easy and quick to run, generally arranged on the floor of the places where they must serve, as they are offices, banking agencies, schools and places similar where such distribution networks are required, using soil channels to arrange, inside, the network cables, perfectly placed and protected.

In the pre-set places, they must put the electrical mechanisms that will allow the use of the network and that may be, as previously cited, the basis of power plug, connection plates for networks of voice and data, etc ..., all devices that will be placed in boxes specially designed for placement on the floor, perfectly coupled to the floor channels that will converge on the mentioned box.

Inside the box will be located all the connections of the mentioned mechanisms, which will remain conveniently protected from the outside.

In this provision, the mechanisms will remain also accessible to the installer, so that they can connect the corresponding plugs of the different devices They will use the network.

However, there is a problem with the use of floor boxes that are known and used in the actuality, inconvenience consisting in the fact that the dimensioning of these boxes offers a minimum interior amplitude which makes the task of installers of extremely difficult carry out a correct connection of the different mechanisms electrical that are located there, as the terminals multiply to embouch and it is practically impossible for the operator to correctly and effectively place your hands and the tools that you must use, inside the small space of the box.

The floor box object of this model of utility offers a practical solution to the aforementioned drawbacks previously, since its components are designed in a way that can be carried out on the site itself, the connection and embedding of the different terminals that each and every one possess of the electrical and voice and data mechanisms that will be there located, before the box itself is shaped in its final structure, proceeding to close it once the connections of connections mentioned have been made, with that the installer who must carry out these works can perform comfortably, by having all the necessary breadth and not only from the closed interior space of the box.

Finally, it should also be cited as characteristic of the invention, the fact that the design of its components allows to locate various electrical mechanisms in one, two or more levels, as will be described later.

In order to complete the description of the box object of the present invention, some drawings are attached in which they have been represented, by way of non-limiting example, a practical embodiment of said floor box automontable, of the type of two levels of mechanisms.

In these drawings,

Figure 4 completes the information offered by the previous figure, showing, also in perspective, the box in assembly process, with indication of the positioning of their components;

Figure 5 is a detail, on a larger scale, of the bottom lace of one of the faces of the box, specifically that where the electrical mechanisms are fixed there they will install, indicating the place where said lace is located, referenced on a view of the whole in perspective, to less scale; Y

Finally, Figure 6 is a view, similar to that of the previous figure, detail of the upper lace of the mentioned face of the box, with a reference, on a smaller scale, on a view of the whole in perspective, of the place where said Top lace is located.

According to the drawings, the floor box self-adjusting for electrical mechanisms, which is the subject of this utility model, consists of the cash body itself (1), shaped like a quadrangular prism, consisting of a series of components described below, whose body will be located on the socket (2), forming a set that will be fixed properly to the ground, impacting under the socket (2) the channels of ground (3) through which the different cables will run Electrical and electronic, voice and data.

The box (1) consists of the faces smooth sides (4), devoid of any opening for location of electrical mechanisms, and the lateral faces (5), by way of frame or frame, provided with openings (6) where they will be located perfectly the electrical mechanisms, purpose of the box that  describe. These smooth side faces (4) can be replaced by side faces (5) with openings (6), if the installation so requires

In the example represented in the different figures, this frame-frame (5) has two openings (6) superimposed, so that the box (1) will be of the type of Two levels.

The practical arrangement, always in the example represented, it is two opposite faces with two frame frames (5); in one of them the Electrical mechanisms installed are plug bases (7), while that on the opposite side, two plug bases (7) are installed and two plates (7a) for connection of transmission connectors of voice and data, all of them of normalized dimensions, which It allows a total and rapid exchange.

To power the frame-frame (5) be provided with a single opening (6), as well as two, in the drawn examples, and even three or more overlapping openings, and varying only the height of the side faces (4), the box (1) will offer the installer the possibility of having several levels, and thus offer a capacity also different from items to install.

The set of components that are completed constitute the box (1) with a lower frame (8), a frame upper (9) and an upper cover (10), which perfectly closes the inside the box (1).

The lower frame (8) has, in two of its opposite sides, two central incoming ones (11) that coincide with the profile of the lateral faces (4) that on that area of the mentioned frame (8) are located and fixed.

The profile of these lateral faces (4) gives the same superior resistance to deformation, allowing adequate consistency to the whole of the box (1), once mounted.

The lower frame (8) has in the other two lateral, two pairs of rectangular openings (12), in which perfectly fit the outgoing trapeze tabs (13) that it has at its bottom edge each frame-frame (5), so that, positioning said vertically frames-frames (5), will delimit, together with the lateral faces (4), the lateral contour of the box (1).

The stability of each of the frame frames (5) together with the other two faces contiguous lateral (4), is guaranteed by the vertical projection (14) that these side faces (4) have their edge, and against which the frame frames (5) will rest, as shown in the detail of figure 6.

Thus placed the four lateral faces, the set will be attached and fixed properly when placing the upper frame (9) over those; said frame is provided (9) on two of its sides of two central incoming (15), coinciding with the profile of the lateral faces (4) and also of two pairs of rectangular openings (16), which will fit perfectly the outgoing trapeze tabs (17) that each frame-frame (5) on its upper edge, so that said upper frame (9) will bind and hold, as has indicated, all the sides (4) and (5) of the box.

On the mentioned upper frame (9), a Once the case assembly (1) is formed, the cover (10) will be fixed, contour matching, especially with the profile of the faces lateral (4).

On the upper face of the socket (2) is find four holes (18), one next to each vertex, for the placement of the fixing screws of the socket to the ground, not represented in the drawings, and next to them, near the opening center of the socket (2), also four holes (19) where Thread the lower frame fixing screws (8) onto the socket (2), screws that will pass through the holes (20) of the frame (8).

A last group of holes (19a) located in line with the previous ones, allows to fix another type of box on the socket, if necessary.

On the very top face of the socket (2) and at each one of its four sides, three holes (21) are located by where the tightening screws, not shown in the figures, for fastening the floor channels (3) that there incide, using one or two holes (21) depending on the dimension of said channels and for the tightening screws to affect always on the longitudinal groove that the channel (3) has on its roof, tightening without going through that roof.

Connection and connection of mechanisms (7) and (7a) will be carried out comfortably when the frame-frame (5) is separated from the set, as seen in figure 4. At that time, the Installer will have ample access to the inside of the box (1), since it is still open and may, therefore, reach especially the posterior areas of the different mechanisms (7) and (7a).

Once the four lateral faces are positioned (4) and (5) of the box (1), all the conductors of the various voice and data transmission and power transmission networks, coming from the ground channels (3), they will be hidden and protected within the internal space of the box (1), protected from  outer side faces and top cover (10), remaining also all connections and bolts located in said interior space.

Inside the box (1), and positioned vertically, there are separating plates (22), of right angle section, whose purpose is to isolate the part posterior of the mechanisms (7) and (7a), constituting a partition separator that will avoid any electromagnetic interference between the elements of each other. The mentioned separator plates (22) are fixed inside the corresponding profiles vertical (23) inside the side faces (4).

In the same interior of the lateral faces (4) there are some profiles (24) on which the corresponding earth connections of the set, also remaining conveniently located a insert (25) on the inner face of the frame frames (5), for the connection of a grounding clamp, not shown in the drawings.

Described sufficiently the object of the present invention, it should be noted that any variation in dimensions, exterior appearance and finish, as well as types of materials used in the practical embodiment of the floor box described, in nothing alter its essentiality, being summarized in the claims that follow.
