Description

  The present invention relates to a method for fixing an inorganic plate, in particular, a thin and large ceramic plate to a housing such as a wall, and a jig therefor, and more specifically, in addition to a fixing means for adhering the inorganic plate with an adhesive or the like. The present invention relates to a method for preventing the drop-off and the like and a jig therefor.

  Inorganic plates such as tiles are widely used as interior or exterior materials. The construction of these inorganic plates on the casing is performed by attaching them with an adhesive or mortar. Furthermore, recently, large ceramic plates that can reduce joints, simplify construction and diversify designs have been put into practical use and are widely used for such large ceramic plates. Tensioning with is common.

  When such an inorganic plate, especially a large ceramic plate, is applied to a wall surface or the like, even if peeling or cracking occurs due to aging, it is necessary to suppress the drop and the damage caused by the drop. Many large ceramic plates are thin and light in weight, but in particular, when a large ceramic plate is used as an exterior material, a construction system capable of suppressing dropout and damage due to dropout is important.

  As such a construction system, in addition to sticking with an adhesive or the like, a hole is made in an inorganic plate and fixed with a tapping screw or the like. However, when it has a decorative surface as an interior / exterior material, the hole and screw head may damage the design of the decorative surface.

  As a construction method that does not impair the design of the decorative surface, for example, a non-through hole is provided on one surface of an inorganic plate, and the entire cylindrical coil-shaped portion is inserted into this hole so that the elasticity of the coil-shaped portion is expanded. A method of fixing to the hole by a friction force based on a force has been proposed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-68183, Patent Document 1). In this method, since the coil is inserted into the hole, a hole with a certain depth is required. Moreover, although the proposal which fixes a building board using the locking piece of a specific structure to a non-through hole is also made (Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2010-236262, patent document 2), this locking piece is a non-through-hole inner wall. Since it is a structure which contacts at a point, it is considered that the locking force has a limit. Therefore, it can be said that there is still a need for a construction method that does not impair the design of the decorative surface, particularly a thin and large-sized inorganic plate fixing method.

Definition
Inorganic plate The inorganic plate fixed by the method according to the present invention is made of ceramic, stone or glass, for example. According to one aspect of the present invention, in the present invention, the inorganic plate is preferably used as a flat plate as a finishing material for exterior or interior walls, floors, ceilings, cabinet face materials, and counter finishing materials. Therefore, the inorganic board preferably includes a decorative surface to which a design is applied and a construction surface to be attached to a casing or the like. In addition, although the size is not limited, the fixing method according to the present invention can be preferably applied to a relatively large inorganic plate because it can be a double fixing method to the housing of the inorganic plate as described later. Is done. According to one aspect of the present invention, the inorganic plate has a short side exceeding 300 mm and has an area exceeding 900 cm ² . The length of the short side of the inorganic plate is preferably 600 mm or more, more preferably 900 mm or more.

  Furthermore, the fixing method according to the present invention can be preferably applied to a relatively thin inorganic plate. In a thin inorganic plate, the non-through holes or grooves must be shallow. In order to reduce the weight of a large ceramic plate, for example, the thickness is about 3 mm to about 15 mm, preferably about 10 mm, and more preferably about 8 mm.

  In the present invention, the inorganic plate may have a glaze layer on its surface. The ingredient of the glaze is not particularly limited. The glaze layer may be formed by either glazing after molding and firing integrally with the molded body, or by firing after glazing the calcined body (calcined body). Furthermore, you may provide a drying process before and after glazing.

Non-through hole or groove The inorganic plate to which the method according to the present invention is applied has a non-through hole or groove on one surface, that is, a construction surface. Non-penetrating means a state where a hole or a groove is formed by digging down from the construction surface in the depth direction but does not reach the decorative surface. In the present invention, the depth of the non-through hole or groove is assumed to be equal to or smaller than the shortest width of the hole or groove.

  In the present invention, the non-through hole of the inorganic plate typically means a circular hole, but the shape is not limited to a circle and may be an ellipse, a triangle, a quadrangle, or a polygon. Moreover, a groove means a linear recessed part. However, the hole and the groove do not need to be clearly distinguished in the present invention, and for example, an oval non-through hole may be formed in a horizontally long shape so as to be understood as a groove. As long as the fixing member described later can be inserted and locked, it is called a non-through hole or groove. In addition, the groove may reach the end of the inorganic plate without closing at its end and form a dent on its side, but from the viewpoint of maintaining the strength of the inorganic plate, the end is closed. It is considered that a configuration in which the groove does not reach the end of the inorganic plate is preferable.

  The non-through hole or groove may have a shape in the depth direction that is perpendicular to the construction surface, and an ant hole having a diameter at the back of the hole larger than the diameter of the entrance, that is, the opening, In other words, it may be a reverse C shape. The diameter may not be changed for a certain distance in the depth direction from the entrance, and the diameter may be larger than the entrance diameter at a deeper position.

  Considering the influence on the strength and the like of the inorganic plate, it is desirable that the depth of the non-through hole or the groove is approximately half or less than the thickness of the inorganic plate. The fixing method according to the invention is advantageously used especially for relatively shallow non-through holes or grooves in such thin inorganic plates. Specifically, for example, the present invention can be applied when the depth of the non-through hole or the groove is 7 mm or less. The shortest width of the non-through hole or groove is preferably 6 mm or more and 80 mm or less, more preferably 8 mm or more and 60 mm or less, and further preferably 10 mm or more and 50 mm or less. The shortest width means the same as the diameter when the hole shape of the non-through hole is circular, and means the shortest width passing through the center when the hole shape is a polygon. Moreover, in the case of a groove | channel, it is the width | variety of the shortest site | part among the width | variety of a direction perpendicular to the direction of a groove.

Construction method according to the present invention When the present invention is divided into non-through holes and grooves, the method according to the present invention is:
A mode in which a fixing member that is mainly deformable in the surface direction of the construction surface of the inorganic plate is applied to the non-through hole as the first mode,
The second aspect can be expressed as an aspect in which a fixing member that is mainly deformable in the surface direction of the construction surface of the inorganic plate is applied to the groove. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described separately in this mode. In the following, these aspects may be referred to simply as “the present invention”.

First Embodiment Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a method for fixing an inorganic plate to a housing according to this embodiment. In FIG. 1, a non-through hole 2 is provided in an inorganic plate 1, and a fixing member 103 is inserted into the non-through hole to lock the fixing member. The connecting member 4 is coupled to the locked fixing member 103 and is connected to a housing such as a wall at the end opposite to the end coupled to the fixing member 103. In the embodiment of this figure, one end of the connecting material 4 is formed in a ring shape, and a fixing tool 5 such as a screw or an anchor bolt is driven into the ring in a housing (not shown), and the inorganic plate 1 is connected. Apart from this connection, the surface of the inorganic plate 1 provided with the non-through holes 2 is bonded to the housing with an adhesive. According to the fixing method of the present invention, the inorganic plate and the casing are fixed by two means of adhesion and a fixing member. Even when the adhesive strength of the inorganic plate 1 is not sufficient due to deterioration over time or the like, there is a connection means using a fixing member, so that it can be prevented from falling off or damage due to dropping off. That is, according to the present invention, a double fixing method of the inorganic plate to the housing is provided.

The fixing method according to this aspect will be described below for each process.
(A) Step of preparing an inorganic board

  This step is a step of preparing the inorganic plate defined above. Fig.2 (a) is an enlarged view of the non-through-hole 2 provided in the inorganic board 1 of FIG. Further, FIG. 2B is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the non-through hole 2. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the non-through hole 2 is circular and has an inner wall surface 121 substantially perpendicular to the surface of the inorganic plate. According to one aspect of the present invention, the inner wall surface 121 of the non-through hole 2 is not limited to a substantially vertical shape. For example, the cross-section of the inner wall surface 121 shown in FIG. In this case, the inner wall surface 121 is not perpendicular to the surface of the inorganic plate. In the present invention, the fixing member comes into contact with and locks the inner wall surface in the circumferential direction. 2A and 2B are substantially perpendicular to the inner wall surface, and the fixing member comes into contact with and presses in a circumferential direction, and is mainly locked by frictional force. In the case of a hole having a shape as shown in FIG. 2C, the side surface of the locking portion is tapered so as to contact and press the inner wall surface that is not perpendicular to the surface of the inorganic plate. . Further, in this case, the contact is made in the circumferential direction in the vicinity of the portion having the smallest diameter near the surface of the inorganic plate and is also locked by the hooking force. Either aspect is encompassed by the present invention.

  The bottom surface 222 of the non-through hole 2 shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b) may be a flat surface, but is not particularly limited as long as it does not significantly hinder the locking of the fed fixing member.

(B) Process for Preparing the Fixing Member FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the fixing member used in the method according to the present invention. In FIG. 3A, the fixing member 103 is a plate-like member having a circular outer peripheral shape with a part cut, and is made of a member having elasticity, for example, metal, and has the same action as the snap ring for holes. It is locked to the non-through hole. The circular locking portion 131 that is partially cut has an outer diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the non-through hole provided in the inorganic plate 1, has a predetermined thickness, and has a side surface 133. Each of the cut ends of the locking portion 131 is provided with a hole (lug) 134. For example, a snap ring pliers is inserted therein, and the direction along the surface of the inorganic plate so that the outer diameter becomes small. The locking portion is distorted by applying a force to and inserted into the non-through hole of the inorganic plate. When the pliers are removed and the locking portion 131 is released, a force (elasticity) to return to the original shape works, the locking portion 131 increases the outer diameter toward the inner wall surface of the non-through hole, and the side surface 133 is The inner wall surface 112 is pressed in the circumferential direction, and the side surface 133 and the inner wall surface 112 abut on the surface. The fixing member is locked to the non-through hole by the frictional force generated by contact with the surface.

  In addition, when the non-through hole is a hole having a shape as shown in FIG. 2 (c), in addition to the locking by the frictional force generated with the side surface as the contact surface as described above, the diameter near the surface of the inorganic plate is the largest. In the vicinity of the small portion, the part of the side surface 133 of the locking part 131 is also locked by being caught in the circumferential direction. It is also possible to distort the engaging portion so that the outer diameter is reduced by applying an external force directly to the standing piece provided in the engaging portion 131 without providing the hole 134, for example.

  In the present invention, the fixing member includes a connecting portion for connecting to the housing. For example, the hole 134 may be used as a connecting portion to connect the connecting material to the part. However, when the inorganic plate is separated from the casing after being connected to the casing, the force is transmitted from the casing to the fixing member. It is preferable to provide a connection part in the site | part which a stop is not inhibited. Therefore, according to one preferable aspect of this invention, it is preferable that a fixing member has a structure where the latching | locking part extended from the end of the connection part. Therefore, the locking portion is preferably a movable end that can be distorted.

  In FIG. 3A, the connection portion 132 is provided with a hole 135 for connecting the connection material. For example, the connection material 132 passes through the wire material as the connection material, and connects the wire material to the connection portion 132 by an appropriate means.

  According to another preferable aspect of the present invention, the fixing member further includes a support portion between the locking portion and the connection portion, the locking portion extends from one end of the support portion, and the other support portion. A connecting portion is provided on the end side. By setting it as such a structure, the fixing member match | combined with various hole shapes can be obtained. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the support portion 140 extends from the central portion of the locking portion toward the center of the circle, and the connection portion 132 exists at the tip. The connection portion 132 is preferably located closer to the housing than the locking portion so that the connection with the housing is facilitated. For this reason, the support portion 140 is formed integrally with the locking portion. It is preferable to have a supporting base 141 and a rising portion 136. According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, the connecting portion 132 is preferably provided near the center of the non-through hole when the fixing member is inserted into the non-through hole, and more preferably the hole 135 is non-through. It is preferable to be in the vicinity of the center of the hole. That is, it is preferable that the connecting portion 132 is provided closer to the center side of the fixing member than the side surface 133 of the locking portion 131, and not the side surface 133 outside the locking portion 131 but the fixing member of the locking portion 131. It is more preferable to extend toward the center of the fixing member from the inner side face toward the center of the fixing member. By adopting such a configuration, even if a tensile force from the top, bottom, left, and right in a direction substantially parallel to the surface having the non-through hole 2 of the inorganic plate 1 is applied from the connecting material fixed to the housing to the fixing member The member can withstand it, and even if a tensile force in the direction perpendicular to the surface is applied, the fixing member is less likely to fall out of the non-through hole. The rising portion 136 also has an effect of transmitting the stress applied to the connecting portion 132 so as not to deform the locking portion 131. Therefore, the effect of making it difficult to drop off can be further enhanced by providing the rising portion 136 that can be expected to have a buffering effect.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the fixing member according to the present invention, and the same or corresponding parts as those of the fixing member shown in FIG. That is, it has a structure in which two pieces of locking portions 131 extend from the support portions 140 at both ends with the connection portion 132 as the center. The circular shape formed by the two spring bodies 131 has an outer diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the non-through hole provided in the inorganic plate 1. The locking portion 131 has a predetermined thickness and has a side surface 133. Each of the end portions of the two pieces of the locking portions 131 is provided with a hole (lug) 134. For example, a snap ring pliers is inserted therein, and the outer diameter is reduced along the surface of the inorganic plate. A force is applied in the direction to distort the locking portion and insert it into the non-through hole of the inorganic plate. When the pliers are removed and the locking portion 131 is released, a force (elasticity) to return to the original shape works, the locking portion 131 increases the outer diameter toward the inner wall surface of the non-through hole, and the side surface 133 is The fixing member is locked to the non-through hole by the frictional force generated by pressing against the inner wall surface 112 in the circumferential direction and coming into contact with the surface. In addition, when the non-through hole is a hole having a shape as shown in FIG. 2 (c), in addition to the locking by the frictional force generated with the side surface as the contact surface as described above, the diameter near the surface of the inorganic plate is the largest. In the vicinity of the small portion, the part of the side surface 133 of the locking part 131 is also locked by being caught in the circumferential direction.

  The connecting portion 132 is provided with a hole 135 for connecting a connecting material, and for example, penetrates a wire material that is a connecting material, and couples the wire material to the connecting portion 132 by an appropriate means. According to one preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the connecting portion 132 is preferably located closer to the housing than the locking portion so that the connection with the housing is facilitated. For this purpose, support portions 140 are provided between the locking portion 131a and the connecting portion and between the locking portion 131b and the connecting portion, respectively. The support part 140 is formed integrally with the locking part, and has a support base part 141 and a rising part 136. Even in this aspect, the connecting portion 132 is preferably provided near the center of the non-through hole when the fixing member is inserted into the non-through hole, and more preferably, the hole 135 is a non-through hole. It is preferable to be in the vicinity of the center.

  The fixing member shown in FIG. 4 has a structure in which two pieces of locking portions 131 extend so as to sandwich the connecting portion 132. That is, the fixing member shown in FIG. 3 has a supporting portion at one end of the connecting portion 132 and has two locking portions extending from the supporting portion. On the other hand, in the embodiment shown in FIG. Is provided with a support portion at each of the two end portions of the connecting portion, and has two pieces of locking portions extending from the respective support portions. Furthermore, according to this invention, it is also possible to employ | adopt the structure where the latching | locking part 131 exceeding two pieces extends | stretches from a support part. The diameter of the outer peripheral circle of the fixing member according to the present invention is preferably 6 mm to 90 mm, more preferably 8 mm to 70 mm, and still more preferably 10 mm to 55 mm.

  In the above aspect, the connection of the fixing member to the housing is performed via the connecting material, but according to another aspect of the present invention, the connection of the fixing member and the housing is performed directly without using the connecting material. It may be a thing. In this aspect, the connection portion connected to the housing may be configured as a member that is integrally extended from the support portion of the fixing member. That is, in the fixing member shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the support portion, the connection portion, and the connection material may be integrated, and the connection portion may include an extension portion that extends integrally from the support portion. 5 and 6 are views showing examples of such a fixing member, in which (a) is a top view and (b) is a side view, in which the drawing is integrally extended from the rising portion 136. FIG. It has a portion 137, an end portion 138 is provided at the end of the extending portion 137, and a fixing hole 139 for fixing to the housing is provided at the center thereof. That is, the connection part 132 includes an extending part 137, an end part 138, and a fixing hole 139. In this aspect, the later-described step of connecting the connecting material to the connecting portion of the fixing member in the aspect shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 can be omitted.

(C) Step of inserting the fixing member and locking it to the inorganic plate The insertion of the fixing member into the non-through hole is performed by applying a force to the locking portion of the fixing member to distort the shape and reducing its outer diameter. . As described above, the fixing member of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is provided with a hole 134 as a starting point for applying a force for distorting the shape. A jig for inserting the fixing member is commercially available, for example, as a snap ring pliers, and the outer diameter can be reduced by applying a force to the spring body using such a jig.

  When the outer diameter of the fixing member is made smaller than that of the non-through hole, the fixing member is inserted into the non-through hole. After insertion, stop applying force and release the locking part. Then, the locking portion expands the outer diameter toward the inner wall surface of the non-through hole due to its elasticity, and thereby the inner wall surface of the non-through hole and the side surface of the fixing member are in contact with each other along the circumference, The fixing member is locked. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the fixing member in a state of being locked in the non-through hole. In the figure, the fixing member 103 of the aspect shown in FIG. 3 is inserted into the non-through hole 2 provided in the inorganic plate 1, and the side surface 133 of the locking portion 131 of the fixing member 103 is the inner wall surface of the non-through hole 2. 122 is contacted in the circumferential direction.

(D) Connection of the fixing member to the casing , and (e) Adhesion of the inorganic plate to the casing. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the connection of the fixing member to the casing is performed by connecting a connecting material to the connection portion. This is done by connecting the end opposite to the end connected to the connecting portion of the connecting material to the housing. The connection of the connecting member to the connecting portion of the fixing member may be performed before or after the fixing member is inserted into the non-through hole. That is, it is possible to prepare a fixing member to which the connecting material is previously combined and insert it into the non-through hole, or to connect the connecting material to the fixing member inserted into the non-through hole. As a result, the shape of the connecting material is not limited as long as it has a strength capable of locking the inorganic plate even when the first fixing means such as adhesion is lost as the double fixing means. For example, a wire material, a tape-shaped steel material, etc. are mentioned preferably.

  The means for coupling the fixing member to the connecting portion is not limited as long as the necessary strength is ensured. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the fixing member of FIG. 3 is inserted into the non-through hole, the wire rod 41 is passed through the hole 135 of the connecting portion 132, the wire rod fixing member 42 is fixed to the wire rod, and this wire rod fixing The material 42 cannot pass through the gap between the connecting portion 132 and the bottom surface 122 of the non-through hole 2, whereby the wire 41 is coupled to the connecting portion 132. Further, the coupling may be performed by passing the wire through the hole and winding it around the connecting portion, brazing, rivet or the like, or a combination thereof.

  Next, the end of the connecting member coupled to the connecting portion of the fixing member as described above is connected to the housing on the side opposite to the end coupled to the fixing member. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram of a state in which the inorganic plate 1 on which the fixing member shown in FIG. In the figure, the wire 41 is connected to a fixing point 61 driven into the housing 51 at the end opposite to the end coupled to the fixing member. Subsequently, the inorganic plate 1 is attached to the surface 52 of the casing 51 with an adhesive. As described above, the inorganic plate 1 is fixed by two means of connection by a fixing member and pasting by an adhesive. Even when the adhesive strength of the inorganic plate 1 is not sufficient due to deterioration over time or the like, there is a connection means using a fixing member, so that it can be prevented from falling off and damage due to dropping off.

  5 and 6, the inorganic plate can be connected to the housing using the fixing hole 139 at the end 139 of the extending portion 137 without using a connecting material such as a wire. The connection can be made by, for example, driving a screw, a tapping screw, an anchor bolt or the like into the housing.

  FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram of a state in which a plurality of inorganic plates 1 are attached to the surface 52 of the casing 51. In the figure, the inorganic board 1 is fixed by connecting the wire 41 to a fixing point 61 and further bonding the inorganic board with an adhesive.
