Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a roof opening / closing device for an outdoor structure for sun observation, for example.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a roof opening / closing device for covering an outdoor structure having an open upper part such as a solar observation room, a guide rail extending horizontally outward from one end of the outdoor structure is provided at both upper ends of the outdoor structure. There is known an apparatus which slides a roof along the guide rail to open and close the roof.

In addition, a roof covering an outdoor structure whose upper part is open is divided into two parts, and guide rails are provided on both upper ends of the outdoor structure so as to extend horizontally outward at both ends of the outdoor structure. 2. Description of the Related Art There is known a roof that is opened and closed by sliding roof pieces formed by dividing a roof into two parts in opposite directions.

[0004]

However, according to the former structure, when the roof is opened, the roof protrudes greatly outside one end of the outdoor structure, and when the roof is closed, the guide rail protrudes greatly. There is a problem that a large space is required outside one end of the object.

[0005] In addition, with this structure, the sliding of the roof may be hindered depending on the shape of the observation equipment or the like housed in the outdoor structure. There are disadvantages in that notches are provided on the surface and the notches must be closed with a shutter.

On the other hand, according to the latter structure, when the roof is opened, the split roof pieces protrude outside both ends of the outdoor structure, and when the roof closes, the guide rails protrude outside both ends of the outdoor structure. However, there is a problem that a large space is required outside both ends of the outdoor structure.

Further, in the latter structure, since the roof is opened by horizontally moving the divided roof pieces in opposite directions to each other, when the roof is opened, the top end of the roof piece has an outdoor structure. There is a drawback that the object stands up above both ends of the object, and this causes an unobservable area.

Therefore, the present invention does not require a large amount of space at the periphery of the outdoor structure, has no blind spot area for observation, and is simple regardless of the shape of observation equipment stored in the outdoor structure. It is an object of the present invention to provide a roof opening / closing device that can adopt a roof structure.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention provides a roof strip formed by dividing a roof into two parts with the center at both ends of an outdoor structure as a tip, and a base provided at the outer edges of both ends of the outdoor structure. An operation rod having both ends pivotally connected to a base and a bearing between a bearing provided at a position corresponding to the rear of the roof piece, and a rotation of the operation rod about the base. A driving mechanism for the operating rod to be moved, and guide rails provided on both sides of the outdoor structure, wherein the roof piece is configured such that the locking portions provided on both ends of the roof are locked to the guide rails. The present invention proposes a roof opening and closing device for a structure.

[0010]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS According to the present invention, when the roof is closed, the two divided roof pieces are joined at their tips, and the locking portions provided on both sides of the tip of the roof pieces are provided. Although it is located at the center of the guide rail, when the operating rod is rotated outward by the drive mechanism using the bases provided at the outer edges of both ends of the outdoor structure as a fulcrum, the tip of the roof piece divided into two parts The locking portions provided on both sides slide in the opposite direction along the guide rails, and finally the roof is opened with the distal end portion of the locking portion being turned outward as a fulcrum.

That is, according to the present invention, the roof piece can be smoothly opened and closed by rotating the guide rail outwardly while sliding the guide rail.

Further, in the present invention, since the roof is opened in a state in which the tip of the roof piece that has been divided into two parts is tilted outward with the locking portion as a fulcrum, there is no area that becomes a blind spot for observation.

Further, according to the present invention, the roof is opened in a state in which the roof is divided into two and the side surfaces of the roof piece are close to the outer edges of both ends of the outdoor structure, and furthermore, it is not necessary to project the guide rails to both ends of the outdoor structure. In addition, it can be installed without requiring a large space at the periphery of the outdoor structure as in the related art.

Further, in the present invention, the roof can be opened and closed by rotating the roof piece divided into two parts outward by using the bases provided at the outer edges of both ends of the outdoor structure as fulcrums, so that the roof piece is housed inside. A simple roof structure can be adopted regardless of the size of observation equipment.

The driving mechanism of the operating rod can be constituted by using a hydraulic mechanism or an electric mechanism.

The present invention is suitable for opening and closing a roof in an outdoor structure for astronomical observation such as sun observation.
The invention is not particularly limited to this, and can be applied to opening and closing of a roof in various outdoor structures.
