Description

  The present invention relates to a wall panel with a window in which an opening portion for a window is formed in a central portion constituting a wall surface of a unit room such as a bathroom unit.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, some wall panels constituting wall surfaces of bathroom units and the like have a window opening for attaching a window. This window opening is formed by cutting and cutting out the central portion of a large wall panel, or by forming a notch recess in each joint side portion of the two wall panels. When joined, the window opening is formed so as to sandwich the joined portion. However, this causes a problem that the cut-out portion of the wall panel becomes waste and wastes the material. There is also a problem that cracks and cracks are likely to occur at the corners of the window opening.

In order to solve such a problem, the window opening was formed without cutting the wall panel by configuring the periphery of the wall panel and the periphery of the window opening with a strong frame made of aluminum. A window wall panel is also disclosed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This window wall panel is composed of two upper and lower wall panel parts by attaching aluminum frames to the peripheral portions of the back surfaces of the upper wall panel and the lower wall panel. And the wall panel for windows is formed by connecting the opposing part of the lower both side part of an upper wall panel, and the upper both side part of a lower wall panel with the side frame made from aluminum, respectively.

  However, in the above-mentioned conventional window wall panel, the left and right side portions of the window opening are configured by side frames having a small width, so the position of the window opening is determined by the portion excluding the side frames. There is a problem that a window opening cannot be provided in an arbitrary portion of the window wall panel. In addition, the above-described window wall panel has a problem that the number of members is increased, which makes the production troublesome and increases the cost.

  The present invention has been made to address the above-described problems, and its purpose is to provide a wall panel with a window that eliminates waste of materials, makes cracks and cracks less likely to occur, and facilitates manufacturing and mounting operations. It is to be.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, a structural feature of the wall panel with a window according to the present invention is a wall panel with a window that constitutes a wall surface of a unit room and has an opening for a window at a central portion.

The same panel in this case means the same type of panel formed in the same shape and size. According to this, since the wall panel with a window is formed by cutting the two identical wall panels at arbitrary positions and assembling them into a frame shape, mass production becomes possible and the manufacturing cost is reduced.

  Further, still another structural feature of the wall panel with a window according to the present invention is the state in which the cut surfaces of the pair of vertical wall portions and the pair of horizontal wall portions are positioned on the outer peripheral side of the wall panel with windows, The pair of vertical wall portions and the pair of horizontal wall portions are assembled. According to this, when manufacturing a vertical wall panel and a horizontal wall panel, the outer peripheral edge portion formed with good dimensional accuracy and surface finish constitutes the edge of the window opening. The edge of the opening for use is configured with a good surface. In addition, since the cut surface is located on the outer peripheral side of the wall panel with a window and is joined to other wall panels and ceiling panels by a joining member having a water stop structure, even if it is formed to be somewhat rough, there is a particular problem. Does not occur.

  Still another structural feature of the wall panel with a window according to the present invention is that an engaged recess or an engaged protrusion is formed at the edge of the vertical wall panel, and at the edge of the horizontal wall panel. An engagement protrusion or an engagement recess that can be engaged with an engagement recess or an engagement protrusion of the vertical wall panel is formed, and the engagement recess and the engagement protrusion or the engagement protrusion are engaged with each other. A pair of vertical wall portions and a pair of horizontal wall portions are assembled by engaging the mating recesses.

  According to this, the vertical wall portion and the horizontal wall portion can be easily assembled and the assembly can be performed with high accuracy. In particular, the horizontal wall portion is spanned and assembled between the upper end side portion and the lower end side portion between a pair of vertical wall portions arranged at intervals, and the cut surfaces of the vertical wall portion and the horizontal wall portion are on the outer peripheral side. When it is designed to be an edge, the engaged recesses are formed on the left and right edges of the vertical wall panel, and the engaged walls of the vertical wall panel are engaged with the left and right edges of the horizontal wall panel. It is preferable to form a mating engagement protrusion.

  According to this, each vertical wall part and horizontal wall part can be assembled | attached by engaging the engaging protrusion which protrudes in the both sides of a horizontal wall part with the to-be-engaged recessed part located in the inner part of a vertical wall part. . In this case, the engaged recess is positioned at the edge of the window opening constituted by the vertical wall, but since a window provided with a frame or the like is attached to this portion, The engaged recess is covered by the window.
