Abstract

A raised floor element for a raised floor includes an upper floor panel with a limited free space configured to adjoin the upper floor panel to a bottom, at least two functional elements, and at least one connecting element configured to connect to at least one further raised floor element. At least one of the functional elements is configured to be actuated by a control device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
a plurality of raised floor elements configured for a raised floor, the raised floor elements each including:
an upper floor panel, a limited free space adjoining the upper floor panel to a bottom, and
at least two functional elements, at least one of the functional elements configured to be actuated by a control device; and

a superordinate monitoring unit connected in a data-carrying manner to the control devices of the raised floor elements, wherein the limited free space is limited in a variably adjustable manner with at least one frame element, wherein:
the control device is one of a plurality of control devices, each of the plurality of raised floor elements including a respective one of the plurality of control devices;
a first of the at least two functional elements of a first of the plurality of raised floor elements includes a sensor; and
a second of the at least two functional elements of the first of the plurality of raised floor elements includes a contactless energy supply device.

2. A raised floor element for a raised floor, comprising:
an upper floor panel, a limited free space adjoining the upper floor panel to a bottom;
a control device;
at least two functional elements, at least one of the functional elements configured to be actuated by the control device;
a first hook having a downwardly extending hook portion extending from a horizontally extending hook portion on a first side of the upper floor panel; and
a first recess including a downwardly extending recess portion extending downwardly from a horizontally extending recess portion on a second side of the upper floor panel, the second side opposite to the first side, wherein
a first of the at least two functional elements includes a sensor, and
a second of the at least two functional elements includes a contactless energy supply device.

3. The raised floor element according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the at least two functional elements is selected from the following group:
a bidirectionally operating energy supply device,
a bidirectionally operating data transmission unit, and
a visualization system comprising visualization actuators.

4. The raised floor element according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the at least two functional elements is selected from the following group:
a sensor,
a capacitively operating momentary-contact switch,
an acceleration sensor,
an actuator,
a switch configured to guide track-bound industrial trucks, and
a lifting unit.

5. The raised floor element according to claim 2 , further comprising an outlet system configured for non-electrical media.

6. The raised floor element according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the at least two functional elements is arranged in or on the floor panel.

7. The raised floor element according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the at least two functional elements is an integral part of the floor panel.

8. The raised floor element according to claim 2 , wherein the limited free space is limited in a variably adjustable manner with at least one frame element.

9. The raised floor element according to claim 2 , wherein the first hook and the first recess are fitted to the floor panel.

10. The raised floor element according to claim 2 , wherein the first hook is one of a plurality of hooks, and the first recess is one of a plurality of recesses.

11. The raised floor element according to claim 2 , further comprising at least one receptacle configured for an additional functional element.

12. The system according to claim 1 , wherein:
a third of the at least two functional elements of the first of the plurality of raised floor elements includes an LED signaling device.

13. The raised floor element according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the at least two functional elements is configured to be switched on and off by the control device.

14. The raised floor element according to claim 2 ,
wherein
a third of the at least two functional elements includes an LED signaling device.

15. A raised floor element for a raised floor, comprising:
an upper floor panel, a limited free space adjoining the upper floor panel to a bottom;
a first functional elements including a sensor;
a second functional element including a contactless energy supply device; and
a control device operatively connected to the first and second functional elements and configured to detect an object using the sensor, identify the detected object, and activate the contactless energy supply device in response to the identification.
