DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention.By laying the floor panel 1 on the floor surface of the pool room 3 using the floor panel laying device 2,This shows the situation where the pool room 3 is converted into a gymnasium. The pool room 3 in this example is provided with a 50 m pool for official competitions, and the bottom of the pool is a movable floor 4 that can be raised and lowered into four parts, and when it is converted into a gymnasium, the pool water is drained. Thus, the movable floor 4 is raised to the level of the pool side 5, and the floor panel 1 can be laid on the floor without any gaps. Although not shown, a hydraulic cylinder for raising and lowering the movable floor 4 is provided at the bottom of the pool, and the movable floor 4 is lifted and stably supported and loaded. A strut to receive the load is installed in the pool.
[0016]
Details of the floor panel 1 are shown in FIGS. The floor panel 1 is manufactured in advance in a predetermined shape and size corresponding to the shape and size of the pool room 3, and in this example, the total length is about 40 m of the total width of the pool room 3, and the width is 2 m. It is said to be about. The floor panel 1 is such that a floor plate 7 such as a flooring material is mounted on a base frame 6 made of, for example, an aluminum mold, and a large number of foldable support legs 8 are provided at predetermined intervals.
[0017]
Among the floor panels 1, one floor panel 1a installed at the foremost part of the pool room 3 is provided with support legs 8 on both front and rear sides as shown in FIG. However, the other floor panels 1 sequentially installed on the rear side of the floor panel 1 are engaged with the installed floor panel 1 by an engagement member 15 (details will be described later) to receive the load. Accordingly, the floor panel 1 other than the above-described floor panel 1a installed at the foremost part is provided with the support legs 8 only on the rear side as shown in FIG. Is omitted.
[0018]
The support legs 8 can be folded inside the base frame 6. When the floor panel 1 is stored in a stacked state in the storage 20 (described later in detail) or when it is transported by the carrier 22 (described later in detail). By folding the support leg 8, the storage space can be saved and it is avoided that it interferes with conveyance. FIG. 6 shows details of a mechanism for folding the support leg 8. The upper end of the support leg 8 is rotatably connected to the base frame 6 by a shaft 9, and the support leg 8 is locked by a stopper 10. It is configured. The stopper 10 is an L-shaped metal fitting, the corner of which is rotatably connected to the support leg 8 by the shaft 11, and either one of the both ends is fixed to the fixing plate 12 attached to the base frame 6. By connecting with the pin 13, the support leg 8 can be locked both in the tilted state and in the raised state. Reference numeral 14 denotes a cushion rubber attached to the tip of the support leg 8. In addition, when each floor panel 1 is installed in the pool chamber 3, the height dimension of each support leg 8 depends on the installation position, that is, the floor slope of the pool side 5, so that the upper surface thereof is naturally horizontal. And can be adjusted in advance corresponding to the level of the movable floor 4.
[0019]
Each floor panel 1 is provided with an engaging member 15 for connection to another floor panel 1. As shown in FIG. 5, the engaging member 15 is a pair of a support portion 15 a provided on the rear side of the floor panel 1 and a supported portion 15 b provided on the front side, and has already been installed. By engaging the supported portion 15b of the rear floor panel 1 newly installed with the support portion 15a of the front floor panel 1, the floor panels 1 are connected to each other and the front floor The load of the rear floor panel 1 can be received by the panel 1, and as a result, the support legs on the front side of the floor panel 1 other than the floor panel 1 a installed at the foremost part as described above. It can be omitted.
[0020]
Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the support rubber 15a is attached to both the support part 15a and the supported part 15b, and a pair of tapered surfaces 17 are formed on both of the buffer rubbers 16, and the support rubber 15 is supported. When the supported portion 15b is engaged with the portion 15a, both the tapered surfaces 17 are brought into close contact with each other, and both floor panels 1 are displaced in a direction in which they approach each other, and their upper surface levels naturally match each other. The upper surface of the floor panel 1 is naturally continuous without a gap and without a step.
[0021]
The floor panel 1 configured as described above has an inside of a hangar 20 provided on one end side in the pool room 3 as shown in FIG. 1 when the pool room 3 is used as a pool room which is the original use. When the pool room 3 is converted into a gymnasium, the pool room 3 is sequentially taken out from the pool room 3 and conveyed forward and laid. Therefore, the stacking order of the floor panels 1 in the hangar 20 is that the floor panel 1a arranged at the foremost part of the pool room 3 is the uppermost stage, and the floor panels 1a that are sequentially installed on the front side are stacked in that order. What is arranged on the side (the hangar 20 side) is the lowest level.
[0022]
All of the work of taking out and laying the floor panel 1 from the hangar 20 during the conversion from the pool room 3 to the gymnasium, and the work of storing the floor panel 1 in the hangar 20 during the reconversion from the gymnasium to the pool room 3 are performed in this embodiment. This is performed mechanically and almost automatically by the laying device 2. The laying device 2 includes the hangar 20 described above, a storage device 21 attached thereto, and a carrier 22.
[0023]
As shown in FIG. 1, the carrier 22 has a length extending over the entire length of the floor panel 1 by arranging a total of 10 traveling carriages 23 in the horizontal direction and connecting them with a connecting beam 24. Of these ten traveling carts 23, two on both sides and two central portions are driving traveling carts 23a on which traveling driving sources are mounted, and the other six are driven traveling carts 23b that follow them. As shown in FIG. 8, the driving traveling carriage 23a is configured by mounting a traveling motor 27 and a power transmission mechanism 28 on a chassis 26 having eight wheels 25. The driven traveling carriage 23b includes a traveling motor 27 and power. Except that the transmission mechanism 28 is omitted, it is configured in the same manner as the drive traveling carriage 23a.
[0024]
The carrier 22 is configured to run stably by using drainage side grooves 29 provided on both sides in the pool chamber 3 as guide rails. That is, both end portions of the connecting beam 24 can be engaged with the side groove 29, and when the carrier 22 travels, the grating attached to the side groove 29 is removed and the front end portion of the connecting beam 24 is placed there. The carrier 22 is guided and driven by the side groove 29 by being engaged so that it can be guided and by synchronously driving the traveling motor 27 of each driving traveling carriage 23a. A guide member such as a guide roller that rolls while engaging with the side groove 29 is preferably attached to the distal end portion of the connecting beam 24.
[0025]
In addition, it is preferable to provide an appropriate control system for performing automatic operation according to a preset program while accurately and strictly monitoring and controlling the position, speed, traveling direction, and the like of the carrier 22, for example, using laser light A position control system can be suitably employed. As a specific example, the position of the carrier 22 is detected by a laser type distance sensor at least at two locations at both ends of the carrier 22 or at any location in the middle in addition to both ends, and based on the results. A control system that prevents the traveling direction of the carrier 22 from shifting laterally by appropriately adjusting the speed of the four driving traveling carriages 23a and that keeps the entire carrier 22 in a straight state is considered. It is done.
[0026]
All of these traveling carriages 23 are equipped with a lift mechanism 30 that supports the floor panel 1 so as to be movable up and down. As shown in FIG. 8, the lift mechanism 30 includes a swingable arm 31 that can be raised and lowered, a driving motor 32 thereof, and a power transmission mechanism 33. The lift mechanism 30 supports the floor panel 1 while the swinging arm 31 is tilted. When the carrier 22 is run and the floor panel 1 is installed on the floor surface, the swing arm 31 is raised to lift the floor panel 1 and the support leg 8 of the floor panel 1 is raised. By falling forward, the floor panel 1 is lowered slightly while moving forward. Although not shown, the lift mechanism 30 is adjusted in position by sliding the floor panel 1 in the length direction (direction perpendicular to the traveling direction of the carrier 22) while the floor panel 1 is lifted. A slide mechanism for performing the above is provided. As the slide mechanism, for example, a roller that rotates while supporting the floor panel 1 can be suitably used.
[0027]
The power supply to the carrier 22 is performed by suspending and supporting the power supply cable 35 by a cable support rail 34 temporarily installed in the pool chamber 3 as shown in FIG.
[0028]
The storage 20 and the storage device 21 attached thereto will be described with reference to FIG. The hangar 20 is formed by being dug down below the floor surface of the pool room 3, and a horizontally long slit-like outlet 40 for carrying the floor panel 1 in and out is opened at the upper part of the hangar 20. . A support frame 41 for supporting the floor panel 1 in a stacked state is installed in the hangar 20, and the support frame 41 supports load distribution by supporting the floor panel 1 by five by a tiltable hook 42. .
[0029]
The storage device 21 has a lifter 43 that can move up and down by grasping the floor panel 1 in the storage 20 and a slide floor 44 that can be moved forward and backward from the rear of the storage 20. The lifter 43 is driven by an elevating motor 45 and is guided up and down by a support frame 41, and has a hook 46 for holding the floor panel 1 from both sides and an operating cylinder 47 at the lower part thereof. The slide floor 44 is driven by a motor 48 to advance and retreat, and in the state where the slide floor 44 has advanced to the upper part of the hangar 20, it can support each traveling carriage 23 of the carrier 22 entering the hangar 20 from the outlet 40, and the hangar 20. The lifter 43 is allowed to move up and down in the hangar 20 by being retracted rearwardly and positioned on the cradle 49.
[0030]
An operation procedure for laying the floor panel 1 by the laying device 2 when the pool room 3 is converted into a gymnasium will be described with reference to FIG. (A) shows the initial state at the time of starting work. In this state, the lifter 43 is disposed on the upper part of the hangar 20, and the slide floor 44 is on the cradle 49. The carrier 22 stops and stands in front of the outlet 40 of the hangar 20, and the swing arm 31 of the lift mechanism 30 is in a lying state. The pool has already been drained and the movable floor 4 is raised and fixed to the level of the pool side 5.
[0031]
From that state, the lifter 43 is lowered as shown in (b) to grip the uppermost floor panel 1 (1a), and when the lifter 43 is raised as shown in (c), the slide floor 44 is advanced. As shown in (d), the carrier 22 is inserted into the hangar 20 through the outlet 40 and placed on the slide floor 44. When the lifter 43 is lowered and the floor panel 1 is placed on the carrier 22, the hook 42 is opened. The floor panel 1 is mounted on the carrier 22. After raising the lifter 43, the carrier 22 is advanced to the standby position as shown in (e), the slide floor 44 is moved backward as shown in (f), and the lifter 43 is lowered, as shown in (g). The next floor panel 1 is held by the lifter 43. At the same time, the carrier 22 carrying the floor panel 1 moves forward and stops at the position where the floor panel 1 is installed, operates the lift mechanism 30 to raise the swing arm 31, and manually supports the support leg 8 by the operator. Is raised and locked by the stopper 10, and the carrier 22 is slightly moved in the front-rear direction as necessary, and the floor panel 1 is slid in the length direction by the slide mechanism to finely adjust the installation position and swing. The arm 31 is tilted to install the floor panel 1, and the carrier 22 is moved backward to return to the standby position.
[0032]
Thereafter, the above procedure is repeated, and other floor panels 1 may be sequentially installed behind the installed floor panel 1 and connected to each other. Moreover, when returning the gymnasium converted as described above to the pool room 3 again, the above procedure may be reversed to store the floor panel 1 in the hangar 20 sequentially from the front side. In addition, the carrier 22 can be stored in the hangar 20 by placing it on the slide floor 44 after the work is completed.
[0033]
  Explained aboveFloor panel 1Is a long one having a length extending over the entire width of the pool room 3, so that only about 30 floor panels 1 need to be laid out during the conversion work. It is possible to do it, and it is very efficient. Moreover, since the support legs 8 of each floor panel 1 can be folded, the storage legs can be saved and stored by storing and transporting the support legs 8 in the state where the support legs 8 are folded inside the base frame 7, and the support legs 8 can be used when transporting. 8 will not get in the way.
[0034]
  further,the aboveThe floor panel 1 has an engaging member 15 for connecting adjacently installed members, and the engaging member 15 is connected to the support portion 15a so as to receive the load of the rear floor panel by the front floor panel. Since it is constituted by the supported portion 15b, the supporting leg 8 may be provided only on one side of the floor panel 1 (that is, below the supporting portion 15a), and on both the supporting portion 15a and the supported portion 15b. Since the buffer rubber 16 having the tapered surfaces 17 that are in close contact with each other is provided, the adjacent floor panels 1 are continuously continuous without any gaps and steps.
[0035]
Since the floor panel 1 is long over the entire width of the pool room 3, its production is carried out by manufacturing a unit of a predetermined length in the factory, carrying it to the site, and connecting a predetermined number of these units at the site. It is realistic to complete the floor panel 1. For example, when the total length of the floor panel 1 is about 40 m as described above, a unit having a length of about 10 m is manufactured at the factory and loaded into the pool room 3, and four units are connected there to connect the floor panel 1. Can be completed. In that case, it is conceivable to store the units in the hangar 20 without connecting the units, and lay them while connecting the units. In this case, however, it is very difficult to install the units or connect the units. Efficient work is not hoped for. Therefore, it is necessary to store the floor panel 1 in a state where the floor panel 1 is completed over the entire width of the pool room 3 as in the above embodiment, and lay it in a lump.
[0036]
Moreover, the laying apparatus 2 of the present embodiment is equipped with a hangar that stores a large number of long floor panels 1 in a stacked state that extend over the entire width of the pool room 3 as described above, and such a long floor panel 1. And the storage device 21 for loading the floor panel 1 onto the carrier 22 and storing it in the hangar 20 so that the long floor panel 1 is mechanically and almost automatically provided. It can be transported, laid and stored, and the work can be performed efficiently and in a short time.
[0037]
In particular, the laying apparatus 2 of the present embodiment employs the carrier 22 having a configuration in which a plurality of traveling carriages 23 are arranged side by side and connected, so that the long floor panel 1 can be stably conveyed with a simple configuration. Since each traveling carriage 23 is equipped with a lift mechanism 30 that supports the floor panel 1 so that it can be raised and lowered, the floor panel 1 is lowered from the carrier 22 to the floor surface by operation of the lift mechanism 30 or installed on the floor surface. The floor panel 1 can be easily loaded into the carrier 22 and the swing mechanism 31 that can be tilted up and down is adopted as the lift mechanism 30, and the floor panel 1 is moved forward by tilting it forward. Therefore, when the floor panel 1 is installed, the support portion 15a and the supported portion 15b of the engagement member 15 can be reliably engaged. Moreover, since the lift mechanism 30 includes a slide mechanism that slides the floor panel 1 in the length direction, fine adjustment of the position of the floor panel 1 in the length direction can be easily performed.
[0038]
In addition, the laying device 2 of the present embodiment is formed by digging the storage 20 downward from the floor surface, and provided with a horizontally long slit-shaped outlet 40 for loading and unloading the floor panel 1 at the top thereof. 21 has a lifter 43 that holds and lifts the floor panel 1 in the hangar 20 and a slide floor 44 that can be moved forward and backward in the upper part of the hangar 20, so that the slide floor 44, the lifter 43, the carrier 22, Thus, the floor panel 1 can be laid and stored efficiently and reliably.
[0039]

Of course, rooms for any use other than a pool room, for example, a sports facility such as a skating rink, and an event facility, etc. Is widely applicable. And in short, long floor panels that cover substantially the entire width or length of the room are stored in a stacked state in a room or a hangar provided at the position facing the room, and are sequentially transported and laid out in sequence. As long as it is configured, the dimensions and form of the floor panel may be changed as appropriate in accordance with the use, scale, and planar shape of the room. For example, in the above embodiment, the entire length of the floor panel extends over the entire width of the pool room, and the floor panel is sequentially laid out in the length direction of the pool room. Of course, it is also possible to sequentially lay out in the width direction. Further, the configuration of the support legs and the engaging members can be variously changed, and it is optional to further lay a floor finishing material such as linoleum or carpet on the floor panel according to the use.
[0040]
