Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a moving partitioning device used when partitioning a floor of a hotel, an office, or the like as needed.

[Prior Art] In this type of moving partition device, a ceiling rail having a continuous opening in a bottom wall is fixed to a ceiling of a building, and a plurality of traveling bodies can travel in the ceiling rail. Suspension rods are attached to the intermediate portions of these traveling bodies, and the lower ends of the suspension rods are passed through the openings and hung below the ceiling rail. The movable walls are suspended and supported by the pair of suspension rods, and the movable walls can be moved along the ceiling rail.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the conventional moving wall has no self-propelling force and is moved by the pressing force of the operator. Therefore, not only a great amount of labor is required for the moving work, but also the portion that presses the moving wall is almost constant, so that there is a problem that only that portion is easily soiled. Further, in the case of a tall moving wall, the lower half portion of the moving wall is pushed and moved, so that due to the running resistance of the running body, the moving wall may tilt in the thickness direction like a goodwill, There is also a problem that unreasonable force tends to act on the suspension rod.

In order to deal with such a problem, it has been considered that a driving force is applied to the traveling body by a motor or the like so that the traveling wall can be self-propelled.

By the way, in such a structure, it is necessary to provide a mechanism for guiding the traveling body to a desired route at a portion where the ceiling rails intersect. As is conventionally considered, as shown in FIG. 11, a turntable q having a small diameter is provided at a portion where the ceiling rails p intersect each other, and each time the traveling bodies r and s reach the intersection A, The turntable q is turned to guide the traveling bodies r and s to a desired route.

However, with such a configuration, the traveling bodies r, s
Since the turntable q must be rotated every time the vehicle reaches the intersection A, there is a problem that the control becomes complicated, and the relative speed between the traveling bodies r and s of the moving wall r passing through the intersection A. Another problem is that it is difficult to control.
Specifically, as in the illustrated example, when the moving wall t passes through the intersection A where the ceiling rails p are orthogonal to each other, from the moment the traveling body r on the front side in the traveling direction leaves the intersection A, the traveling direction is Until the rear traveling body s reaches the intersection A, unless the relative speeds of the traveling bodies r and s are constantly changed,
The driving drive part will be overloaded.

In order to deal with such a problem, the movable rail,
It has been considered to use a turntable having a size capable of accommodating both traveling bodies supporting each moving wall at the same time.

If such a turntable is used, the moving wall can be swung at a stroke, so that the above-mentioned problem can be solved. However, the conventional moving wall forms a pair near the left and right side edges thereof. Since the suspension is supported by the suspension rod, if such a system is adopted, the turning portion of the turntable becomes a large one having a diameter corresponding to the width dimension of the moving wall. Therefore, large-scale construction is required to assemble it on the ceiling of the building. Further, in this type of turntable, a frame-shaped fixed frame exists outside the turning portion, and the fixed frame is supported by a building structure material and arranged on the ceiling portion. Therefore, it is difficult to arrange the turning portion including the movable rail so as to be extremely close to the building wall. As a result, for example,
The moving wall pulled out along the first ceiling rail parallel to the building wall is swung by the turntable, guided to the second ceiling rail orthogonal to the building wall, and arranged along this second ceiling rail. Problems often occur when the space is partitioned by the moving wall. That is, in this case,
Finally, it is necessary to bring the telescope part installed on the side edge of the moving wall that was introduced into the turntable and swiveled into contact with the building wall existing in the vicinity of the turntable for light shielding and sound insulation. As described above, since it is difficult to provide the turntable close to the wall, a relatively large gap is formed between the side edge of the moving wall after turning and the building wall. Therefore, it becomes necessary to provide a telescope portion having a large stroke on the last moving wall, which makes it difficult to secure an internal space of the moving wall, which greatly reduces the degree of freedom in design.

The present invention aims to solve all such problems.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention employs the following configuration in order to achieve the above object.

That is, the moving partition device according to the present invention includes a plurality of ceiling rails, a turntable, a table drive mechanism, a traveling body, a suspension rod, a moving wall, a guide rod, and a moving wall traveling drive mechanism. The plurality of ceiling rails are horizontally arranged with their ends facing the intersection, and the turntable is arranged at the intersection and is equal to the ceiling rail. The table drive mechanism includes a movable rail having a cross-sectional shape, and the table drive mechanism is configured to horizontally rotate the turntable and selectively match the end of the movable rail with the end of the ceiling rail. The traveling body is movably arranged in the ceiling rail, and each moving wall is suspended and supported by the ceiling rail via a suspension rod hanging from a single traveling body, and the guide rod is suspended. Move the wall in the vicinity of the suspension rod It projects upward from the upper edge, and its tip is inserted into the opening of the ceiling rail.The movable rail of the turntable is set to a size that can accommodate the traveling body of each moving wall and the guide rod at the same time. It is characterized by doing.

When it is desired to exert a strong driving force on the traveling body without enlarging the ceiling rail, the moving wall traveling drive mechanism is fixed to the inner surface of the side wall of the ceiling rail and the movable rail, and this chain. A sprocket meshed with
A pair of rotating sleeves, each of which has the sprocket fixed at its upper end and is rotatably mounted on the outer circumference of each suspension rod, and a motor that is housed in the moving wall and rotationally drives the lower ends of these rotating sleeves. It is better to do it.

One guide rod may be provided, but it is preferable to provide two guide rods if it is desired not to exert a tilting moment on the suspension rod during turning.

[Operation] With such a configuration, by applying a driving force to the traveling body by the function of the moving wall traveling drive mechanism,
Each moving wall can be independently moved along the ceiling rail. When passing the intersection on the moving wall, the traveling of the moving wall is temporarily stopped when the traveling body supporting the moving wall and the guide rod are all housed in the movable rail of the turntable. In this state, turn the turntable and change the direction of the moving wall. When the end of the movable rail matches the end of the desired ceiling rail, the turning of the turntable is ended, and the traveling of the moving wall is started again. Then, according to this operation, turntable 1
The direction of the moving wall can be changed all at once by turning only once, and the desired ceiling rail can be guided.

It should be noted that this one is designed such that one suspension rod and a guide rod arranged in the vicinity of this suspension rod are held by a movable rail to be swung, so that the movable rail is attached to the movable wall. It is much shorter than the width dimension. Therefore, when rotating the movable rail to rotate the movable wall, the side edge of the movable wall moves outside the outer edge of the turntable. Therefore, even if the turntable is arranged at a position relatively distant from the building wall, by rotating the moving wall, the dimensions of the respective parts are adjusted so that the side edges of the moving wall are extremely close to the building wall. Easy to set.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. First, when the traveling motor 84 is activated, the rotational power of the traveling motor 84 is transmitted to the rotary sleeve 83 via the reduction gear 89, the drive gear 88 and the driven gear 87, and the sprocket 82 rotates. The sprocket 82, since that is is engaged with the chain 81 which is fixed to the ceiling rail 1 _1, by the rotation of the sprocket 82, so that the traveling body 6 is self ceiling rail 1 _1.
This makes that the moving wall 5 is moved along the ceiling rail 1 _1. At this time, the traveling direction front and rear suspension rod 7, respectively the guide rod 9 is present, because they guide rod 9 is engaged with the opening 11 of the ceiling rail 1 _1, the moving wall 5,
Traveling along the ceiling rail 1 ₁ without deflecting. When passing the intersection A through the moving wall 5, both the traveling body 6 supporting the moving wall 5 and the guide rod 9 are turnedtable 2.
At the stage of being stored in the movable rail 22 (see FIG. 2), the traveling of the moving wall 5 is temporarily stopped. Since the chain 81 is fixedly installed also in the movable rail 22, the traveling body 5 can be moved to the movable rail.
It is possible to advance to a desired position within 22. In this state, the turntable 2 is turned to change the direction of the moving wall 5. Specifically, when the motor 34 of the table drive mechanism 3 is operated to rotate the rotating arm 31 from the starting point a to the ending point b, the movable rail 22 connected to the rotating arm 31 via the link rod 35. Turns horizontally and changes its direction by 90 ° (see Fig. 3). As a result, the end of the movable rail 22 matches the end of the _second ceiling rail 12. The swinging movement of the movable rail 22 is transmitted to the moving wall 5 via the two guide rods 9, and the moving wall 5 also turns 90 °. At this stage, the traveling motor 84 is activated again to start traveling on the moving wall 5. Then, according to this operation, the turntable 2
The only can change the orientation of the moving wall 5 at once turning once, it can be guided to the desired ceiling rail 1 _2.

It should be noted that this one is configured such that one suspension rod 7 and a guide rod 9 arranged in the vicinity of the suspension rod 7 are held on a movable rail 22 so that the suspension rod 7 can be rotated. Is
It is much shorter than the width W of the moving wall 5. Therefore, when the movable wall 22 is turned to turn the moving wall 5, the side edge 5a of the moving wall 5 is set to the turntable 2
Will move outside the outer edge 2a. Therefore, even if the turntable 2 is arranged at a position relatively distant from the building wall G, by turning the moving wall 5, the side edge 5a of the moving wall 5 comes very close to the building wall G. Thus, it becomes easy to set the dimensions of each part. Therefore, even when the telescope portion is projected from the moving wall 5 to perform sound insulation or light shielding between the moving wall 5 and the building wall G, the telescopic portion need only have a very small stroke.

As described above, when the moving wall 5 is moved to the desired position, the traveling motor 84 is stopped, and then the sealing motor 168 is operated to move the upper and lower sealing members 54 and 55 to the ceiling. Press on surface C and floor F. In this embodiment, since the sealing member drive mechanism 160 is held by the floating frame 150, a differential pressing action is performed between the upper close contact member 54 and the lower close contact member 55. The close contact members 54, 55 are pressed against the ceiling surface C and the floor surface F with an equal force.

The operation described above can be automatically performed as appropriate using a normal sequencer or microcomputer. Therefore, each moving wall 5 has a limit switch for detecting whether or not the moving wall 5 is in contact with an adjacent moving wall 5,
Limit switches for detecting whether the upper and lower close contact members 54, 55 are pressed against the ceiling surface C and the floor surface F are provided. Further, the turntable 2 is provided with a sensor for detecting whether or not the traveling body 6 of the moving wall 5 has reached a predetermined position of the movable rail 22, a limit switch for detecting the turning position of the movable rail 22, and the like. deep.

The number of guide rods is not limited to two and may be one.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the moving wall can be self-propelled along the ceiling rail. for that reason,
In addition to the labor required for moving the moving wall by pressing it, it is possible to eliminate the problem that a certain portion is easily soiled with dirt or the like. Also, since it is not necessary to move the traveling body by applying a moving force to the lower half of the moving wall,
It is possible to effectively prevent unreasonable bending stress from acting on the suspension rod, without causing the moving wall to swing like a goodwill.

Moreover, this one has a movable rail that can accommodate a traveling body supporting each moving wall and a guide rod at the intersection of the ceiling rails at the same time, and the movable rail can be horizontally swiveled to select the traveling route of the moving wall. I am able to do so,
The number of turns can be reduced as compared with the case where the movable rail is turned each time a plurality of traveling bodies reach an intersection, and the control of the turntable is simplified. In addition, if it is such a thing, without slightly changing the relative traveling speed of the plurality of traveling bodies supporting the moving wall,
It is possible to easily change the direction of the moving wall.

In addition, in this way, the moving wall can be swung using a much smaller turntable than in the case where a pair of running bodies that suspend and support both sides of the moving wall are simultaneously supported and swiveled. You can Therefore, not only the installation work of the turntable can be performed easily, but also the stroke of the telescope portion of the moving wall arranged at the end at the time of use can be shortened. Therefore, it is not necessary to secure a large space for housing the telescope portion inside the moving wall, and the degree of freedom in design can be improved.

Further, if the moving wall traveling drive mechanism is configured as described above, it is not necessary to mount the motor on the traveling body. Therefore, a strong driving force can be exerted on the traveling body arranged in the narrow ceiling rail, and the moving wall can be surely self-propelled.

In the case of the self-propelled type, since it is not necessary to press the lower half part of the moving wall to follow the traveling body, it is possible to significantly reduce the tilting moment acting on the suspension rod. Therefore, the moving wall can be suspended and supported by one suspending rod to smoothly operate.
