Description

  The present invention relates to a connection structure of wall panels for constituting a bathroom wall or the like of a unit bath.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a wall surface of a unit bus is configured by arranging a plurality of wall panels. Here, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, in order to connect the wall panels, first, the wall panels 51 a and 51 b in which the side end portions are bent to form the panel connection vertical recesses 52 a and 52 b are adjacent to each other. Then, the joiner 56 is engaged so as to cover the panel connection vertical recesses 52a and 52b. Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the joining block 57 is driven with a hammer 60 so that the connection protrusions 58a and 58b of the joining block 57 are fitted into the panel connection longitudinal recesses 52a and 52b, respectively. By doing so, the wall panels 51 a and 51 b are connected via the joiner 56 and the joining block 57. Further, a gap 55 for inserting a joint is provided between the wall panels 51a and 51b.

Further, as an improvement of the conventional connection structure, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-27629 discloses that a standing abutment plate 59 is provided in a connection block 57 as shown in FIG. 6, and the panel upper end surface 53a of the wall panels 51a and 51b. , 53b, a structure in which the standing plate 59 is brought into contact with the panel rising pieces 54a, 54b. In this connection structure, the panel upper end surface surfaces 53a and 53b and the panel rising pieces 54a and 54b are disposed on substantially the same surface, so that the panel surface of the connected wall panels 51a and 51b is displaced. It can be prevented from occurring.

  However, even if it is the structure using the conventional connection block, and the structure currently disclosed by Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2003-27629, there existed the following problems. The connection block 57 is only engaged with the panel connection vertical recesses 52a and 52b of the wall panels 51a and 51b, and the connection block 57 and the joiner 56 are not engaged. Therefore, the positioning of the wall panels 51a and 51b is performed via the joiner 56. In this state, in order to securely insert the connection protrusions 58a and 58b of the connection block 57 into the panel connection vertical recesses 52a and 52b, both the joiner 56 and the connection block 57 are required to have accurate dimensional accuracy.

  Further, a gap 55 for inserting a joint is provided between the wall panels 51a and 51b. For example, if the width of the gap 55 changes due to a change in the shape of the joint, it is necessary to redesign and manufacture both the joiner 56 and the connection block 57. That is, in the conventional connection structure, each of the wall panel, the joiner, and the connection block cannot be positioned independently. For this reason, high dimensional accuracy is required for each of them, and it is necessary to recreate the joiner and the connection block at every design change.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wall panel coupling structure that can facilitate positioning of the wall panel, the joiner, and the connection block. .

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the wall panel connection structure of the present invention is such that a wall panel having a panel side plate protruding with its end portion turned back is adjacent to each other, and the end of the adjacent wall panel is provided. The wall panel is joined to engage the joiner so as to cover the panel side plate along the portion, and the connection block is fitted to the end portion on the ceiling side of the joiner to lock the wall panel and the joiner. In the structure, a protrusion piece and an engagement plate are provided on the connection block, the protrusion piece engages with a part of the wall panel, and the engagement plate engages with the joiner.

  The connection structure of the wall panel of the present invention uses a connection block provided with a protruding piece and an engaging plate, the protruding piece engages with a part of the wall panel, and the engaging plate engages with the joiner. Therefore, the adjacent wall panels are also positioned by the connection block and the joiner. Therefore, since each positioning can be performed independently, positioning work becomes easy. In addition, since the shapes of the connection block and the joiner are independent, it is not necessary to increase the dimensional accuracy more than necessary in order to engage them, and the productivity of these parts can be improved. .

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, the wall panel connection structure of the present embodiment connects wall panels 1a and 1b used as wall surfaces of a bathroom of a unit bath so as to be adjacent to each other. Here, the wall panels 1a and 1b are metal plates. As shown in FIG. 2, panel side plates 2a and 2b are formed by folding back the end portions of the side surfaces. Further, by folding the tip, panel folded pieces 3a and 3b having a triangular shape in a top view are formed. Moreover, the edge part of each upper surface of wall panel 1a, 1b is bend | folded, panel upper-surface board 4a, 4b and the panel raising piece 5a, 5b are formed, and it is set as the structure which these engage with a ceiling surface.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the joiner 10 has a long shape, and is formed by bending a metal plate such as an iron plate. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cross-section of this is opposed to the joiner front plates 11a and 11b in contact with the wall panels 1a and 1b, the joiner folding pieces 12a and 12b, and the joiner front plates 11a and 11b with their tips folded back. It has a joiner back plate 14 and joiner side plates 13a, 13b that connect the joiner front plates 11a, 11b and the joiner back plate 14.

  The connection blocks 15a and 15b are made of hard resin. As shown in FIG. 1, this has a structure in which projecting pieces 17a and 17b and an engaging plate project from the upper plates 16a and 16b, respectively. Here, the engagement plate is composed of engagement side plates 18a and 18b and engagement front plates 19a and 19b, respectively.

  Below, the procedure of the connection structure of the wall panel of this embodiment is demonstrated. First, the wall panel 1a is disposed at a predetermined position in the bathroom. In this state, the joiner 10 is disposed on the outdoor side of the wall panel 1a so as to cover the panel side face plate 2a and the panel folding piece 3a of the wall panel 1a. That is, the joiner front plate 11a of the joiner 10 is joined to the main body of the wall panel 1a, and the joiner folded piece 12a is joined to the panel folded piece 3а. In this state, the joining block 15a is fitted from above. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the projecting piece 17a contacts the inside of the panel folding piece 3a, the engaging side plate 18a contacts the outer surface of the joiner side plate 13a, and the engaging front plate 19a is the wall panel. It comes in contact with the back of 1а. In this state, the connection block 15a is engaged with the wall panel 1a and the joiner 10 to lock the joiner 10. Therefore, the joiner 10 is positioned by the connection block 15a.

  Next, the wall panel 1b is disposed at a predetermined position in the bathroom so as to engage with the joiner 10. At this time, similarly to the relationship between the wall panel 1a and the joiner 10, the joiner front plate 11b is joined to the main body of the wall panel 1b, and the joiner folded piece 12b is joined to the panel folded piece 3b. Then, another connecting block 15b is fitted so as to engage with the wall panel 1b and the joiner 10. At this time, similarly to the relationship between the wall panel 1a and the joiner 10, the projecting piece 17b comes into contact with the inside of the panel folding piece 3b, and the engaging side plate 18b comes into contact with the outer surface of the joiner side plate 13b. The plate 19b comes into contact with the back surface of the wall panel 1b. Therefore, the wall panel 1b is positioned by the joiner 10 and the connection block 15b. At this time, the width of the gap 6 into which the joint is inserted is determined by the length of the joiner back plate 14.

  In the present embodiment, the joiner 10 can be positioned by the wall panel and the connection blocks 15a and 15b. The adjacent wall panels 1a, 1b are also positioned by the connection blocks 15a, 15b and the joiner 10. Therefore, since each positioning can be performed independently, positioning work becomes easy. Further, since the shapes of the connection blocks 15a, 15b and the joiner 10 are independent, there is no need to increase the dimensional accuracy more than necessary in order to engage them. Therefore, the productivity of these parts can be improved. Furthermore, even if the dimension of the gap 6 changes due to a change in joints or the like, it can be handled by manufacturing only the length of the joiner back plate 14 of the joiner 10, and the connection blocks 15a and 15b are It becomes possible to use the same as before. Therefore, the connection blocks 15a and 15b can own a lot of stock.

  In addition, the connection structure of the wall panel which concerns on this invention is not only the wall panel connected in a straight line as shown in FIG. 1, 2, but also in the connection of the wall panel adjacent at right angles as shown in FIG. Can be applied. In this case, the same wall panel and connection block as in the previous embodiment can be used. However, as shown in FIG. 4, it is necessary to use a joiner 10 'having a shape bent in several steps in a cross-sectional view. By using such a joiner 10 'and a connection block, the wall panel adjacent at right angles can be positioned by the connection block and the joiner, and each positioning can be performed independently. It becomes easy.

  In addition, since the shapes of the connection block and the joiner are independent, it is not necessary to increase the dimensional accuracy more than necessary in order to engage them, and the productivity of these parts can be improved. .
