Description

本明細書によって開示される技術は、筐体に形成された開口に取り付けられる扉装置に関する。   The technique disclosed by this specification is related with the door apparatus attached to the opening formed in the housing | casing.

従来、複数の扉を上下に並べて取付けた貯蔵庫が、広く用いられている。例えば下記特許文献1に記載の貯蔵庫では、貯蔵庫本体を形成する筐体の前面に、上下左右に仕切られた合計4つの開口(出入口)が形成され、各開口に1枚ずつ計4枚の扉が、縦軸回りの観音開き式に取り付けられている。各扉は、筐体の開口縁部に固着した支持部材(支持プレート)に設けたヒンジピンを、当該扉の上縁もしくは下縁に設けた軸受孔に嵌合させた、いわゆるヒンジ機構を介して支持される。上側扉の上縁および下側扉の下縁は、それぞれに対応する支持部材によって支持されるが、上側扉の下縁および下側扉の上縁は、1個の支持部材によって併せて支持されている。具体的には、上側扉の下方かつ下側扉の上方に配されるように筐体に固着した1個の支持部材において、上向きに立設したヒンジピンを上側扉の下縁に設けた軸受孔に、下向きに突設したヒンジピンを下側扉の上縁に設けた軸受孔に、それぞれ嵌合させることで、この支持部材の上下に2枚の扉が回動自在に支持されている。   Conventionally, storages in which a plurality of doors are arranged side by side are widely used. For example, in the storage described in Patent Document 1 below, a total of four openings (entrances) that are partitioned vertically and horizontally are formed on the front surface of the casing that forms the storage body, and a total of four doors, one for each opening. However, it is attached in a double-spread type around the vertical axis. Each door is connected via a so-called hinge mechanism in which a hinge pin provided on a support member (support plate) fixed to the opening edge of the housing is fitted in a bearing hole provided on the upper edge or lower edge of the door. Supported. The upper edge of the upper door and the lower edge of the lower door are supported by the corresponding support members, respectively, but the lower edge of the upper door and the upper edge of the lower door are supported together by one support member. ing. Specifically, in one support member fixed to the housing so as to be arranged below the upper door and above the lower door, a bearing hole provided with a hinge pin standing upward on the lower edge of the upper door In addition, the two doors are rotatably supported above and below the support member by fitting downwardly protruding hinge pins into bearing holes provided on the upper edge of the lower door.

特開平11−257837号公報JP-A-11-257837

ところで、ヒンジ機構では、扉のスムーズな回動を目的として、ヒンジピンと軸受孔との間にクリアランスが設定される。このため、扉の自重等によってヒンジ機構とは逆側の縦縁が下がり、扉が傾いてしまうことがある。こうした扉の傾きは、些少であっても様々な不具合を招く。例えば、観音開き式に設置された左右の扉の対向縁部にマグネットおよびシール部材を取り付けて、マグネットの磁力とシール部材の弾性によって左右扉間のシールを実現しているような冷蔵庫においては、扉の下部では、左右の扉の間隔が広がるためにマグネットの磁力が不足して隙間が生じ、冷気漏れや庫内霜付きを招く可能性がある。逆に扉の上部では、左右の扉の間隔が狭くなりすぎてシール部材同士が干渉して閉まらなくなったり、両扉を閉止した状態から片方を開いただけで反対側の扉も一緒に開いてしまったりすることがある。   By the way, in the hinge mechanism, a clearance is set between the hinge pin and the bearing hole for the purpose of smooth rotation of the door. For this reason, the vertical edge on the opposite side to the hinge mechanism may be lowered due to the weight of the door, and the door may be inclined. Such a tilt of the door causes various problems even if it is small. For example, in a refrigerator in which a magnet and a seal member are attached to the opposite edges of the left and right doors installed in a double-speech manner, and the seal between the left and right doors is realized by the magnetic force of the magnet and the elasticity of the seal member, the door In the lower part, the gap between the left and right doors is widened, so the magnetic force of the magnet is insufficient and a gap is created, which may lead to cold air leakage and frost in the cabinet. On the other hand, at the upper part of the door, the distance between the left and right doors becomes too narrow and the seal members interfere with each other so that they can not close, or the door on the other side opens together by opening one of the doors from the closed state. May be frustrated.

扉が傾いた場合の対応としては、傾いた扉を支持する支持部材の固着位置を変更して、扉の傾きを調整することが考えられる。しかしながら、上記のように、1個の支持部材によって上下に2枚の扉を支持している場合、例えば下側扉の傾きを解消すべくこの支持部材の固着位置を変更すると、上側扉の支持状態も変わってしまうため、支持部材の固着位置を変えて扉の傾きを調整することは困難である。また、この支持部材の位置を変えずに、上側扉の上縁や下側扉の下縁を支持する支持部材の固着位置を変更すると、上側扉と下側扉とが左右方向においてずれた位置に配されることとなり、開閉状態を良好に保てなくなる虞がある。   As a countermeasure when the door is tilted, it is conceivable to adjust the tilt of the door by changing the fixing position of the support member that supports the tilted door. However, as described above, when two doors are supported up and down by one support member, for example, if the fixing position of the support member is changed so as to eliminate the inclination of the lower door, the upper door is supported. Since the state also changes, it is difficult to adjust the inclination of the door by changing the fixing position of the support member. If the fixing position of the support member that supports the upper edge of the upper door and the lower edge of the lower door is changed without changing the position of the support member, the upper door and the lower door are displaced in the left-right direction. Therefore, there is a possibility that the open / closed state cannot be maintained well.

本明細書に開示する技術は、上記事情に基づいて完成されたものであり、1個の支持部材の上下にヒンジ機構を介して支持された複数の扉について、扉の開閉状態を良好に維持しつつ傾きを軽減することを目的とする。   The technology disclosed in the present specification has been completed based on the above-described circumstances, and the door open / closed state is favorably maintained for a plurality of doors supported above and below one support member via a hinge mechanism. The purpose is to reduce the tilt.

本明細書によって開示される扉装置は、第一扉および前記第一扉の下方に配される第二扉を含み、筐体に形成された開口を開閉する複数の扉と、前記第一扉の下方でかつ前記第二扉の上方に配されるように前記筐体に固着され、前記第一扉の下縁および前記第二扉の上縁を支持する支持部材と、を備え、前記第一扉の下縁および前記第二扉の上縁は、当該扉および前記支持部材のうち何れか一方に設けられたヒンジピンが、他方に設けられた軸受孔にクリアランスを有して嵌合されることで、前記第一扉もしくは前記第二扉の縦縁に沿うように配された回動軸周りの回動自在に支持され、前記支持部材に設けられて前記第二扉の上縁を支持する前記ヒンジピンもしくは前記軸受孔の軸心は、前記支持部材に設けられて前記前記第一扉の下縁を支持する前記ヒンジピンもしくは前記軸受孔の軸心に対して、前記縦縁側にシフトして設けられている。   A door device disclosed in the present specification includes a first door and a second door disposed below the first door, a plurality of doors for opening and closing an opening formed in the housing, and the first door A support member fixed to the housing so as to be disposed below the second door and above the second door, and supporting a lower edge of the first door and an upper edge of the second door, The lower edge of one door and the upper edge of the second door are fitted with a hinge pin provided in one of the door and the support member with a clearance in a bearing hole provided in the other. Thus, the first door or the second door is supported so as to be rotatable around a rotation axis arranged along the vertical edge of the second door, and is provided on the support member to support the upper edge of the second door. The hinge pin or the shaft center of the bearing hole is provided on the support member and serves as a lower edge of the first door. With respect to the axis of the hinge pin or the bearing bore for lifting, it is provided to shift to the longitudinal edge.

上記構成によれば、第二扉の上縁を支持するヒンジピンもしくは軸受孔の軸心、すなわち第二扉上縁の支持軸を、当該第二扉の回動軸が近接して配される縦縁側にシフトして設けたことにより、第二扉の傾きを軽減できる。この際、支持部材の固着位置を変更するのとは異なり、第一扉下縁の支持軸(第一扉の下縁を支持するヒンジピンもしくは軸受孔の軸心)は通常位置に維持できるため、第一扉の支持状態に影響を与えることなく、第二扉の傾きを軽減できる。この結果、開口を確実に閉止するとともに、扉の開閉に支障が生じる事態を抑制できる。上記構成の扉装置は、従来の構成の扉装置と比較して、支持部材に設けるヒンジピンもしくは軸受孔の位置を変更するだけで構成でき、構成部品点数や製造工程を増加させたり、コストアップを招いたりすることもない。   According to the above configuration, the axis of the hinge pin or the bearing hole that supports the upper edge of the second door, that is, the support shaft of the upper edge of the second door is vertically By providing a shift to the edge side, the inclination of the second door can be reduced. At this time, unlike changing the fixing position of the support member, the support shaft of the lower edge of the first door (the hinge pin supporting the lower edge of the first door or the axis of the bearing hole) can be maintained at the normal position. The tilt of the second door can be reduced without affecting the support state of the first door. As a result, it is possible to reliably close the opening and to prevent a situation in which the opening and closing of the door is hindered. Compared with the door device of the conventional configuration, the door device of the above configuration can be configured only by changing the position of the hinge pin or the bearing hole provided in the support member, increasing the number of component parts and the manufacturing process, and increasing the cost. There is no invitation.

本明細書によって開示される扉装置において、前記支持部材に設けられて前記第二扉の上縁を支持する前記ヒンジピンもしくは前記軸受孔の軸心の、同支持部材に設けられて前記第一扉の下縁を支持する前記ヒンジピンもしくは前記軸受孔の軸心に対するシフト量は、前記クリアランスに基づいて設定されてもよい。   In the door device disclosed in this specification, the first door is provided on the support member of the hinge pin or the shaft center of the bearing hole provided on the support member and supporting the upper edge of the second door. A shift amount with respect to the axial center of the hinge pin or the bearing hole that supports the lower edge of the bearing may be set based on the clearance.

上記構成のように、第一扉下縁の支持軸に対する第二扉上縁の支持軸のシフト量は、各関連部材の設計値から算出され、或いは測定されるクリアランスに基づいて設定することができる。このようにすれば、第二扉上縁の支持軸を適正量だけシフトさせて、上記のような効果を得ることができる。   As in the above configuration, the shift amount of the support shaft of the upper edge of the second door relative to the support shaft of the lower edge of the first door can be calculated from the design value of each related member or set based on the measured clearance. it can. If it does in this way, the above-mentioned effect can be acquired by shifting the support shaft of the upper edge of the second door by an appropriate amount.

本明細書によって開示される技術によれば、1個の支持部材の上下にヒンジ機構を介して支持された複数の扉について、扉の開閉状態を良好に維持しつつ傾きを軽減できる。   According to the technique disclosed by this specification, about the some door supported through the hinge mechanism on the upper and lower sides of one support member, inclination can be reduced, maintaining the door open / closed state favorable.

例えば上向ヒンジピン51の周囲にピン側カラー50を配設する際には、挿通孔56を上向ヒンジピン51に挿通させ、基板部の下面に形成された図示しない廻止め突起を差込孔46に嵌め込むことで、ヒンジプレート40の上面にピン側カラー50を取り付ける。   For example, when the pin side collar 50 is disposed around the upper hinge pin 51, the insertion hole 56 is inserted into the upper hinge pin 51, and a non-illustrated rotation protrusion formed on the lower surface of the substrate portion is inserted into the insertion hole 46. The pin-side collar 50 is attached to the upper surface of the hinge plate 40 by being fitted into the hinge plate 40.

一方、第一扉31下縁および第二扉32上縁には、基端縁39寄りの位置に前後方向を長径とする長円形の嵌合孔が設けられ、この嵌合孔に、図2および図3に示すように孔側カラー60が圧入固定されている。孔側カラー60は、合成樹脂材によって平面視長円形をなすように形成された部材であって、前述の上向ヒンジピン51および下向ヒンジピン52を若干のクリアランスをもって挿通可能な2つの軸受孔、第一軸受孔61および第二軸受孔62が形成されている。孔側カラー60において、第一軸受孔61および第二軸受孔62の回りには、平面環形のカム面65が設けられ、凸部67、傾斜部、凹部が周方向に繰り返し形成されている。第一扉31下縁に装着される孔側カラー60では、前側の第一軸受孔61に上向ヒンジピン51が嵌合され、第二扉32上縁に装着される孔側カラー60では、後側の第二軸受孔62に下向ヒンジピン52が嵌合されて、上向ヒンジピン51もしくは下向ヒンジピン52の周囲に取り付けられたピン側カラー50のカム面55に各カム面65が当接した状態で、第一扉31および第二扉32が支持される。各カム面は、第一扉31および第二扉32を閉止した状態において、カム面55の凸部57と、カム面65の凹部とがかみ合うように設定されている。また、第一扉31下縁には、図2に示すようにストッパ35が前縁に沿って取り付けられ、第一扉31が所定の開度まで開かれると、前述のヒンジプレート40端部に形成された係止部47にストッパ35が当接することで、第一扉31の開き過ぎが規制されるようになっている。   On the other hand, the lower edge of the first door 31 and the upper edge of the second door 32 are provided with an oval fitting hole having a major axis in the front-rear direction at a position near the base end edge 39. And as shown in FIG. 3, the hole side collar 60 is press-fitted and fixed. The hole side collar 60 is a member formed so as to have an oval shape in a plan view using a synthetic resin material, and includes two bearing holes through which the above-described upward hinge pin 51 and downward hinge pin 52 can be inserted with a slight clearance, A first bearing hole 61 and a second bearing hole 62 are formed. In the hole side collar 60, a planar ring-shaped cam surface 65 is provided around the first bearing hole 61 and the second bearing hole 62, and a convex portion 67, an inclined portion, and a concave portion are repeatedly formed in the circumferential direction. In the hole side collar 60 attached to the lower edge of the first door 31, the upper hinge pin 51 is fitted in the first bearing hole 61 on the front side, and in the hole side collar 60 attached to the upper edge of the second door 32, The lower hinge pin 52 is fitted in the second bearing hole 62 on the side, and each cam surface 65 comes into contact with the cam surface 55 of the pin-side collar 50 attached around the upper hinge pin 51 or the lower hinge pin 52. In the state, the first door 31 and the second door 32 are supported. Each cam surface is set so that the convex portion 57 of the cam surface 55 and the concave portion of the cam surface 65 mesh with each other in a state where the first door 31 and the second door 32 are closed. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a stopper 35 is attached to the lower edge of the first door 31 along the front edge, and when the first door 31 is opened to a predetermined opening, The stopper 35 abuts on the formed locking portion 47 so that the opening of the first door 31 is restricted.

このようなリフトヒンジ機構では、ピン側カラー50に対して孔側カラー60が相対的に回転することによって、扉3が昇降しつつ開閉されるようになっている。
例えば第一扉31を閉じられた状態から開くと、第一扉31の下縁に装着された孔側カラー60のカム面65は、ヒンジプレート40上面に取り付けられたピン側カラー50のカム面55上で回転する。これにより、両カム面の凸部と凹部とが互いにかみ合っている状態から、上側の凸部67が移動して下側の凹部から隣接する傾斜部に沿って凸部57上に乗り上げ、第一扉31は上昇しつつ開放される。反対に、開いている第一扉31を閉じると、孔側カラー60のカム面65は、ピン側カラー50のカム面55の上で、開扉時とは逆の方向に回転移動する。これにより、両カム面の凸部同士が係合して上昇位置で開放されている状態から、上側の凸部67が移動して下側の凸部57から隣接する傾斜部に沿って凹部に滑り落ち、第一扉31はカム面55に倣って下降して閉止される。
なお、第一扉31を、両カム面の凸部同士が係合して上昇位置で開放されている状態からさらに開く方向に回動させると、上側の凸部67が傾斜部に沿って凹部に滑り落ち、所定角度に開いた状態で維持できるようになっている。
In such a lift hinge mechanism, the hole-side collar 60 rotates relative to the pin-side collar 50 so that the door 3 is opened and closed while being raised and lowered.
For example, when the first door 31 is opened from the closed state, the cam surface 65 of the hole side collar 60 attached to the lower edge of the first door 31 is the cam surface of the pin side collar 50 attached to the upper surface of the hinge plate 40. Rotate on 55. Thereby, from the state in which the convex portions and the concave portions of both cam surfaces are engaged with each other, the upper convex portion 67 moves and rides on the convex portion 57 along the adjacent inclined portion from the lower concave portion. The door 31 is opened while rising. On the other hand, when the opened first door 31 is closed, the cam surface 65 of the hole side collar 60 rotates on the cam surface 55 of the pin side collar 50 in the direction opposite to that when the door is opened. As a result, from the state where the convex portions of both cam surfaces are engaged and opened at the raised position, the upper convex portion 67 moves to the concave portion along the adjacent inclined portion from the lower convex portion 57. The first door 31 slides down along the cam surface 55 and is closed.
When the first door 31 is further rotated in the opening direction from the state where the convex portions of both cam surfaces are engaged and opened at the raised position, the upper convex portion 67 is recessed along the inclined portion. And can be maintained in an open state at a predetermined angle.

なお、本実施形態の扉装置10では、ヒンジ機構4Aおよびヒンジ機構4Cでも、ヒンジ機構4Bに係るものと同様のヒンジプレート40を使用することができる。例えばヒンジ機構4Aでは、筐体1上段の開口2の上縁に沿って固着したヒンジプレート40に下向ヒンジピン52のみを嵌着し、第一扉31上縁に圧入固定した孔側カラー60の第二軸受孔62に、下向ヒンジピン52を挿通させる。また、ヒンジ機構4Cでは、筐体1下段の開口2の下縁に沿って固着したヒンジプレート40に上向ヒンジピン51のみを嵌着し、この周囲にピン側カラー50を装着する一方、第二扉32下縁に孔側カラー60を圧入固定して、第一軸受孔61に上向ヒンジピン51を挿通させる。なお、ヒンジ機構4Cに係るヒンジプレート40としては、ヒンジ機構4A,4Bに係るものとは左右対称に形成されたものを、取付部41の上縁に支持部42が配される姿勢で筐体1に固着して用いることができる。   In the door device 10 of this embodiment, the hinge plate 40 similar to that related to the hinge mechanism 4B can be used in the hinge mechanism 4A and the hinge mechanism 4C. For example, in the hinge mechanism 4A, only the downward hinge pin 52 is fitted to the hinge plate 40 fixed along the upper edge of the opening 2 at the upper stage of the housing 1, and the hole side collar 60 is press-fitted and fixed to the upper edge of the first door 31. The downward hinge pin 52 is inserted through the second bearing hole 62. Further, in the hinge mechanism 4C, only the upper hinge pin 51 is fitted to the hinge plate 40 fixed along the lower edge of the opening 2 at the lower stage of the housing 1, and the pin side collar 50 is attached to the periphery thereof, while the second The hole side collar 60 is press-fitted and fixed to the lower edge of the door 32, and the upward hinge pin 51 is inserted into the first bearing hole 61. The hinge plate 40 according to the hinge mechanism 4C is formed symmetrically with respect to the hinge mechanisms 4A and 4B, and the casing is arranged in a posture in which the support portion 42 is arranged on the upper edge of the attachment portion 41. 1 can be used.

本実施形態に係る扉装置10は、オートクローズ方式となるように構成されている。ヒンジプレート40において、図5および図6等に示すように、下向ヒンジピン52の軸心(支持軸Z2)よりも、上向ヒンジピン51の軸心(支持軸Z1)の方が前方に配されるように設定されているため、扉装置10では、扉3において、上縁を支持するヒンジピンと下縁を支持するヒンジピンの軸心が、互いに前後方向にずれる。例えば第一扉31では、上縁を支持するヒンジ機構4Aの下向ヒンジピン52の軸心(支持軸Z2)よりも、下縁を支持するヒンジ機構4Bの上向ヒンジピン51の軸心(支持軸Z1)の方が、前方に配される。これにより、図1において一点鎖線で表されているように、第一扉31の回動軸は前後方向に傾斜し、第一扉31は、開放状態において回動軸の傾斜角度に相当する角度だけ傾斜した状態となるため、傾斜角度に起因する回動力の作用によって閉鎖方向に付勢される。この結果、容易かつ確実に扉が閉じられるようになっている。第二扉32でも同様とされている。   The door device 10 according to the present embodiment is configured to be an auto-close system. In the hinge plate 40, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 and the like, the axis (support axis Z1) of the upward hinge pin 51 is disposed forward of the axis (support axis Z2) of the downward hinge pin 52. Therefore, in the door device 10, in the door 3, the axis of the hinge pin supporting the upper edge and the axis of the hinge pin supporting the lower edge are shifted from each other in the front-rear direction. For example, in the first door 31, the axis (support shaft) of the upper hinge pin 51 of the hinge mechanism 4B that supports the lower edge rather than the axis (support axis Z2) of the lower hinge pin 52 of the hinge mechanism 4A that supports the upper edge. Z1) is arranged forward. Thereby, as represented by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 1, the rotation axis of the first door 31 is inclined in the front-rear direction, and the first door 31 is an angle corresponding to the inclination angle of the rotation axis in the opened state. Therefore, it is biased in the closing direction by the action of rotational force resulting from the tilt angle. As a result, the door can be easily and reliably closed. The same applies to the second door 32.

続いて、扉3の傾きを軽減するための機構について、図7と図8とを比較しつつ説明する。なお、図7は、本実施形態に係る扉装置10を模式的に表した図であり、図8は、従来の扉装置110を模式的に表した図である。扉装置110において、第一扉31上縁を支持するヒンジ機構をヒンジ機構104A、第一扉31上縁と第二扉32下縁を併せて支持するヒンジ機構をヒンジ機構104B、第二扉32下縁を支持するヒンジ機構をヒンジ機構104Cとする。扉装置110では、ヒンジプレート140における上向ヒンジピン51と下向ヒンジピン52の配置が、本実施形態に係るヒンジプレート40における配置とは異なっている。以下、扉装置110において扉装置10と同様の部材については、同じ符号を付して説明を省略する。   Next, a mechanism for reducing the inclination of the door 3 will be described by comparing FIG. 7 and FIG. 7 is a diagram schematically illustrating the door device 10 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically illustrating a conventional door device 110. In the door device 110, the hinge mechanism 104A supports the hinge mechanism that supports the upper edge of the first door 31, the hinge mechanism 104B supports the hinge mechanism that supports the upper edge of the first door 31 and the lower edge of the second door 32, and the second door 32. The hinge mechanism that supports the lower edge is referred to as a hinge mechanism 104C. In the door device 110, the arrangement of the upward hinge pins 51 and the downward hinge pins 52 in the hinge plate 140 is different from the arrangement in the hinge plate 40 according to the present embodiment. Hereinafter, in the door apparatus 110, about the member similar to the door apparatus 10, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.

ヒンジ機構を備えた扉装置10および扉装置110において、上向ヒンジピン51と第一軸受孔61の間、並びに、下向ヒンジピン52と第二軸受孔62の間には、扉3のスムーズな回動を目的として、それぞれクリアランスが設定されている。例えば、各ヒンジピンの軸の直径は10mm以下、各軸受孔の直径は10.2mm以上として設計される。   In the door device 10 and the door device 110 having the hinge mechanism, the door 3 can be smoothly rotated between the upper hinge pin 51 and the first bearing hole 61 and between the lower hinge pin 52 and the second bearing hole 62. Clearance is set for each purpose. For example, the diameter of each hinge pin shaft is designed to be 10 mm or less, and the diameter of each bearing hole is designed to be 10.2 mm or more.

従来の扉装置110に係るヒンジプレート140では、上向ヒンジピン51と下向ヒンジピン52の軸心が左右方向において同軸上に重畳するように設定されており、図8に示すように、扉装置110では、各ヒンジ機構104A,104B,104Cに係る上向ヒンジピン51および下向ヒンジピン52の全ての軸心が、左右方向において同軸(支持軸Z1)上に重畳するように構成される。このような扉装置110では、例えば図8における第二扉32について示すように、第二扉32の自重等によって左縦縁(基端縁39とは逆の縦縁)側を下降させようとする力が働くと、下向ヒンジピン52と第二軸受孔62との間のクリアランスによってこうした動きが許容され、第二扉32が傾いてしまう虞がある。
このような場合において、第二扉32の傾きを軽減するために、ヒンジ機構104Bに係るヒンジプレート140を右方に移動させると、当該ヒンジプレート140から立設された上向ヒンジピン51も右方に移動する。このようにすると、第一扉31の支持状態が変化し、第一扉31の傾きが助長される虞がある。他方、ヒンジ機構104Bに係るヒンジプレート140の固定位置を維持しつつ、ヒンジ機構104Aに係るヒンジプレート140を右方に、ヒンジ機構104Cに係るヒンジプレート140を左方に、それぞれ移動させると、第一扉31全体が本来の位置よりも右方に、第二扉32全体が左方に配されることとなって、両者が上下に整列せず、それぞれ開口2を良好に閉止できなくなったり、開閉操作に支障をきたしたりする虞がある。
In the hinge plate 140 according to the conventional door device 110, the axial centers of the upper hinge pin 51 and the lower hinge pin 52 are set so as to be coaxially overlapped in the left-right direction, and as shown in FIG. Then, all the axial centers of the upward hinge pin 51 and the downward hinge pin 52 related to the hinge mechanisms 104A, 104B, and 104C are configured to overlap on the same axis (support axis Z1) in the left-right direction. In such a door device 110, for example, as shown for the second door 32 in FIG. 8, the left vertical edge (vertical edge opposite to the base end edge 39) side is lowered by the weight of the second door 32 or the like. When a force is applied, such a movement is allowed by the clearance between the downward hinge pin 52 and the second bearing hole 62, and the second door 32 may be inclined.
In such a case, when the hinge plate 140 related to the hinge mechanism 104B is moved to the right in order to reduce the inclination of the second door 32, the upward hinge pin 51 erected from the hinge plate 140 is also moved to the right. Move to. If it does in this way, the support state of the 1st door 31 changes and there exists a possibility that the inclination of the 1st door 31 may be promoted. On the other hand, when the hinge plate 140 related to the hinge mechanism 104A is moved to the right while the hinge plate 140 related to the hinge mechanism 104C is moved to the right while maintaining the fixed position of the hinge plate 140 related to the hinge mechanism 104B, The entire door 1 is arranged to the right of the original position, and the entire second door 32 is arranged to the left, so that they do not line up and down, making it impossible to close the opening 2 properly. There is a risk of hindering the opening and closing operation.

これに対し、本実施形態の扉装置10に係るヒンジプレート40では、下向ヒンジピン52の軸心が、上向ヒンジピン51の軸心に対して、左右方向において基端縁39側にシフトするように設定されている。図7に示すように、扉装置10では、第一扉31および第二扉32の上縁に設けられた第二軸受孔62に挿通される下向ヒンジピン52の軸心(支持軸Z2)が、第一扉31および第二扉32の下縁に設けられた第一軸受孔61に挿通される上向ヒンジピン51の軸心(支持軸Z1)よりも、右方(基端縁39側)にシフトして設けられた構成とされている。このような扉装置10では、例えば第二扉32の左縦縁側を下降させようとする力が働いた場合であっても、ヒンジ機構104Bの下向ヒンジピン52が、第二扉32上縁に設けられた第二軸受孔62の基端縁39側の縁部に当接することにより、第二扉32の傾きが規制される。   On the other hand, in the hinge plate 40 according to the door device 10 of the present embodiment, the axial center of the downward hinge pin 52 shifts toward the proximal edge 39 in the left-right direction with respect to the axial center of the upward hinge pin 51. Is set to As shown in FIG. 7, in the door device 10, the shaft center (support shaft Z <b> 2) of the downward hinge pin 52 inserted through the second bearing hole 62 provided on the upper edges of the first door 31 and the second door 32. The right side (base edge 39 side) of the axial center (support shaft Z1) of the upward hinge pin 51 inserted through the first bearing hole 61 provided at the lower edge of the first door 31 and the second door 32. It is set as the structure provided by shifting to. In such a door device 10, for example, even when a force to lower the left vertical edge side of the second door 32 is applied, the downward hinge pin 52 of the hinge mechanism 104 </ b> B is attached to the upper edge of the second door 32. By abutting the edge of the provided second bearing hole 62 on the base end edge 39 side, the inclination of the second door 32 is regulated.

ここで、支持軸Z2の支持軸Z1に対するシフト量D、すなわちヒンジプレート40における下向ヒンジピン52軸心の上向ヒンジピン51軸心に対するシフト量Dは、各ヒンジピンと各軸受孔との間に設定されるクリアランスに応じて設定できる。例えば上記のように、ヒンジピンの軸径を10mm以下、軸受孔径を10.2mm以上とした場合、シフト量Dを0.13mmに設定できる。このようにすれば、第一扉31および第二扉32において、上縁を支持する下向ヒンジピン52は第二軸受孔62の基端縁39側の縁部に近接した状態で嵌合され、各扉3の傾きが効果的に軽減される。   Here, the shift amount D of the support shaft Z2 with respect to the support shaft Z1, that is, the shift amount D with respect to the upper hinge pin 51 axial center of the downward hinge pin 52 in the hinge plate 40 is set between each hinge pin and each bearing hole. It can be set according to the clearance to be done. For example, as described above, when the shaft diameter of the hinge pin is 10 mm or less and the bearing hole diameter is 10.2 mm or more, the shift amount D can be set to 0.13 mm. If it does in this way, in the 1st door 31 and the 2nd door 32, the downward hinge pin 52 which supports an upper edge is fitted in the state near the edge part by the side of the base end edge 39 of the 2nd bearing hole 62, The inclination of each door 3 is effectively reduced.

本実施形態によれば、次のような作用効果を得ることができる。
本実施形態では、ヒンジプレート40において、この下方に位置する第二扉32の上縁を支持する下向ヒンジピン52の軸心(支持軸Z2)を、予め回動軸が近接して設けられる基端縁39側にシフトして設けたことにより、第二扉32の傾きを軽減できる。この際、ヒンジプレート40の固着位置を変更するのとは異なり、第一扉31の下縁を支持する支持軸Z1は通常位置のまま維持されるため、第一扉31の支持状態に影響を与えることなく、第二扉32の傾きを軽減できる。この結果、開口2を確実に閉止するとともに、扉3の開閉に支障が生じる事態を抑制できる。上記構成の扉装置10は、従来の構成の扉装置110と比較して、構成部品点数や製造工程を増加させることなく構成できるため、コストアップを招くこともない。また、本実施形態に係る扉装置10では、ヒンジ機構4A,4B,4Cにおいて、左右対称に構成した以外は基本的に同じ構造のヒンジプレート40を使用できる。なお、左右対称な2種類のヒンジプレート40を使用すれば、観音開き式の左右両側に配される全ての扉3を支持することができる。
According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
In the present embodiment, in the hinge plate 40, the axis (support shaft Z2) of the downward hinge pin 52 that supports the upper edge of the second door 32 positioned below the base is provided in advance with the rotation shaft close thereto. By providing the shift to the end edge 39 side, the inclination of the second door 32 can be reduced. At this time, unlike changing the fixing position of the hinge plate 40, the support shaft Z <b> 1 that supports the lower edge of the first door 31 is maintained at the normal position, so that the support state of the first door 31 is affected. The inclination of the second door 32 can be reduced without giving. As a result, it is possible to reliably close the opening 2 and to prevent the door 3 from being hindered. The door device 10 having the above-described configuration can be configured without increasing the number of components and the manufacturing process as compared with the door device 110 having a conventional configuration, so that the cost is not increased. Moreover, in the door apparatus 10 which concerns on this embodiment, the hinge mechanism 40A, 4B, 4C can use the hinge plate 40 of the fundamentally same structure except having comprised left-right symmetry. In addition, if two types of left and right symmetrical hinge plates 40 are used, it is possible to support all the doors 3 arranged on both the left and right sides of the double door opening type.

本実施形態に係る扉装置10では、軸の補正量、すなわち支持軸Z2の支持軸Z1に対するシフト量Dを、下向ヒンジピン52の軸径および第二軸受孔の孔径から算出し、或いは両者の間のクリアランスを測定して、設定できる。このようにすれば、支持軸Z2を適正量だけシフトさせて、第二扉32の良好な開閉動作を担保しつつ上記のような効果を得ることができる。   In the door device 10 according to the present embodiment, the shaft correction amount, that is, the shift amount D of the support shaft Z2 with respect to the support shaft Z1, is calculated from the shaft diameter of the downward hinge pin 52 and the hole diameter of the second bearing hole, or both The clearance between them can be measured and set. In this way, the support shaft Z2 can be shifted by an appropriate amount, and the above-described effects can be obtained while ensuring a favorable opening / closing operation of the second door 32.
