When the shutter is fully closed and the lowermost panel is grounded and the shutter is fully closed, the fitting ridges 8 and the fitting ridges 9 of the panels 6 and 7 are fitted to each other, and No gaps are created. However, when the panel is stored in the storage box 2, the upper fitting protrusion 8 of the lower panel 7 is fitted to the lower fitting recess 9 of the upper panel 6 that has risen to the vicinity of the sprocket 3 along the guide rail 1. If it is still fitted, it will not be possible to laterally feed the upper panel 6 along the sprocket 3 toward the storage rail 4 (panel storage direction). Therefore, in order to enable the panels 6, 7 to be traversed in the storage direction, the panels 6, 7 deployed between the two guide rails 1 are arranged.
As shown in FIG. 13, a gap L for maintaining the fitting projection 8 and the fitting recess 9 in a separated state is set between them.

At the time of the lowering operation, when the lowermost panel 7 is not yet grounded, the fitting ridge 8 and the fitting ridge 9 between the panels 6 and 7 are not fitted with a gap L. In state. However, when the lowermost panel 7 touches the ground, the upper panel 6 descends on the lowermost panel 7 so that
The fitting ridges 8 and the fitting ridges 9 of the two fit together to seal the panels 6 and 7 with each other. In this way, all the panels 6,
In a so-called shutter fully-closed state in which 7 is extended, all the panels 6 and 7 are in a sealed state with no gap L due to the fitting of the fitting ridge 8 and the fitting ridge 9 as described above. When the sprocket 3 is started to rotate in the reverse direction from the fully closed state of the shutter, the feeding operation of the chain 5 meshed with the sprocket 3 causes the panels 6, 7 between the two guide rails 1 to be sequentially pulled up from the uppermost one. , Each panel
The fitting between the fitting ridge 8 and the fitting ridge 9 between 6 and 7 is sequentially released, and a gap L is generated between the fitting ridge 8 and the fitting ridge 9. With each panel 6 and 7 in storage box 2
It gradually rises into the inside. Then, the panels 6, 7 which have entered the storage box 2 and whose upper end has been sequentially raised between the pair of left and right sprockets 3 are arranged.

The up / down operation will be described later. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the chain 5 of the panel 60 that has entered the storage box 2 from the guide rail 1 is moved toward the tip of the sprocket 3, as shown in FIGS. A chain longitudinal guideway F1 that guides in the vertical direction (longitudinal direction); and an upper guide roller R1 of the panel 60 that is disposed outside the chain longitudinal guideway F1 and is parallel to the chain longitudinal guideway F1. (A vertical direction) and a roller vertical guiding path G1. In the storage box 2, a storage rail 4 for rollingly supporting an upper guide roller R1 of a panel 60 that ascends from the guide rail 1 and passes between the pair of left and right sprockets 3 is disposed substantially horizontally. Have been. The storage rail 4 is connected to the roller longitudinal guide path G1 and is curved outside the tooth tip portion of the sprocket 3 in a direction along a meshing region between the sprocket 3 and the chain 5; A roller lateral guide path (guide groove) G3 connected to the roller curved guide path G2 and extending in the horizontal direction is formed in series. A chain pressing portion 41 for preventing the chain 5 meshed with the sprocket 3 from coming off is provided between the roller curved guide path G2 of the storage rail 4 and the tooth tip of the sprocket 3. On the side of the sprocket 3, a chain guide plate 21 whose root is fixed to a side wall (bracket) 20 of the storage box 2 is disposed. The chain guide plate 21 is connected to the chain longitudinal guide path F1 between the chain presser 41 and the chain curved guide path F2, and is connected to the chain curved guide path F2 and is parallel to the roller lateral guide path G3. Chain taxiway extending in the direction
F3 is formed in series. Therefore, the chain longitudinal taxiway F1 and the chain curved taxiway F2
The chain guideway F3 and the chain guideway F3 constitute a series of chain guideways F, and the roller longitudinal guideway G1, the roller curved guideway G2, and the roller lateral guideway G3 constitute a roller guideway G. In the above, chain longitudinal taxiway F1 and roller longitudinal taxiway
Assuming that the interval between G1 and H1, the interval between the chain curved guideway F2 and the roller curved guideway G2 is H2, and the interval between the chain lateral guideway F3 and the roller lateral guideway G3 are H3,
It is set so that the relational expression of H1 <H2 <H3 holds. The positional relationship between the slit 81 of the panel support arm 80 and the panel support shaft 63 based on such a relationship of H1 <H2 <H3 will be described. The panel support shaft 63 is moved in a chain during the vertical movement along the roller vertical guide path G1. 5 is held at one end of the slit 81 closest to the fifth side, the roller curved guide path G2
When moving along the roller lateral guideway G3, the chain 5 moves to a substantially intermediate portion of the slit 81.
The slit 81 is held at the other end of the slit 81 at the position farthest from the slit 81. That is, by the feed operation of the chain 5 and the panel support arm 80 by the rotation of the sprocket 3, the panel support shaft 63 is connected to the roller longitudinal guide path G1 and the roller lateral guide path G3 via the roller curved guide path G2. At this time, the panel support shaft 63 is closest to the sprocket 3 side on the roller longitudinal guideway G1 side, and
On the side of the roller lateral guide path G3, the slit 81 is moved in a direction farthest from the sprocket 3. Therefore, when the panel 60 passes between the pair of left and right sprockets 3, the peripheral speed of the sprocket 3 and the panel support shaft 63
Due to this difference speed, the panel 60 moves faster than the moving speed of the subsequent panel when passing between the sprockets 3 toward the storage rail 4 side. Below the storage rail 4 in the storage box 2, a lower panel guide 10 that is mostly parallel to the storage rail 4 is disposed. The lower panel guide 10 has inclined guide portions 10a and 23 on the side of the chain vertical guide path F1 to guide the lower guide roller R2 of the panel 60. Further, a panel posture correcting mechanism 90 is arranged near the panel entrance and exit in the storage box 2. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6 (A) and (B), the panel posture correcting mechanism 90 has a roller support block at both sides sandwiching the front and back surfaces of the panel 60 which vertically moves along the roller vertical guide path G1. Press rollers R3, R rotatably supported on 91
It consists of 4, R5, R6. These pressing rollers R3, R4, R5,
R6 is made of a soft roller, and the pressing rollers R3 and R6 and R4 and R5 at positions sandwiching the panel 60 are arranged at intervals to press the panel 60 on both sides. The pressing rollers R3, R6 and R4, R5 have a function of guiding the vertically adjacent panels 60 in the same vertical plane direction, and the number of rollers is not specified, and the number of the rollers is not limited. Any number can be used as long as it can be moved vertically in both sides of the front and back sides. FIG. 4 is a structural explanatory view showing a partial cross section of an electric shutter drive device applied to the panel shutter device according to the embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 70 denotes, for example, a geared motor capable of reversible rotation. A drive sprocket 71 is fitted on an output shaft 73 of the switch 70, and the driven sprocket 30 is interlocked with the driven sprocket 71 via a transmission chain 72, and the driven sprocket 30
The panel driving sprocket 3 is mounted on the rotary shaft 31 of the rotary shaft 31 so as to rotate synchronously. FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing a manual shutter driving device applied to the panel shutter device according to the embodiment of the present invention.
Is replaced with a moment balancer 700. That is, the moment balancer 700 is a cylindrical manual drive shaft integrally connected to the driving sprocket 71.
74, a balancer shaft 76 that is inserted into the drive shaft 74, passes through the axis of the driving sprocket 71, and is fixed to the side wall 20 of the storage box 2, and is rotatably fitted to the balancer shaft 76 to be driven. A foil 75 integrated with a shaft 74, and a coil-shaped balance spring 77 fitted to the balancer shaft 76 and having one end connected to the balancer shaft 76 and the other end connected to the wheel 75.
And consists of This moment balancer 700 has a guide rail 1
And the load of the roller longitudinal guideway adjacent panel 60 of the non-contact state in the vertical direction along the G1 is, acts as a rotational moment M ₁ via the panel drive sprocket 3 → the driven sprocket 30 → the transmission chain 72 → driver sprocket 71 But
The spring moment M ₂ of the rotating moment M ₁ and balance spring 77 is set so as to balance the fully closed position of the panel 60, the balance spring 77 at the time of equilibrium, the panel
With a slight lifting external force of 60, rotational energy in a direction to raise the panel 60 is stored. Next, the shutter opening / closing operation by the electric shutter driving device shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 will be described. In a shutter fully closed state in which all panels 60 are extended between a pair of left and right guide rails 1, as shown in FIG.
The upper and lower end slats 62 and the next lower slat 61 and the other lower slats 61 are in close contact with each other and the upper and lower end surfaces of the slats are tightly joined with a window hole 67 for lighting and ventilation closed. When the switch 70 is started in the shutter opening direction from such a shutter fully closed state, the rotation output is transmitted to the panel driving sprocket 3 via the driving sprocket 71 → the transmission chain 72 → the driven sprocket 30. The sprocket 3 rotates clockwise in FIG. By the rotation of the sprocket 3, each panel 60 is sequentially pulled up via the chain 5 meshed with the sprocket 3 and the panel support arm 80. Here, in each panel 60, only the upper end slat 62 is supported by the chain 5 via the panel support arm 80, and the engagement head of the next lower slat 61 is fitted into the fitting recess 623 below the upper end slat 62. The upper and lower engaging portions 612 of the lower slat 61 with respect to the fitting concave portion 613 of the lower portion of the upper slat 61 can move up and down freely even when the portion 612 is unevenly fitted so as to be vertically movable and is located between the other lower slats 61. Since the uppermost panel 60 that is first raised is first raised, the upper end slat 62 is raised, and then the other lower slat 61
Are sequentially raised. By such a gradual raising of the slats 62 and 61,
First, with the slats 62 and 61 extending to the maximum length and opening the window 67 between the slats,
60 is raised. At the same time that the top panel 60 is raised, the upper end slat 62 of the next succeeding panel 60 is raised. That is, when the uppermost panel 60 is pulled up, its lowermost slat 61 is pulled up last. However, each panel 60 has a panel interval (a mutual interval between the panel support arms 80) in a state where the respective slats 62 and 61 are maximized. ) L ₁ is set as shown in Figure No. 7 (C), in the panel spacing L _1,
The entire plate-shaped neck portion 621 of the upper end slat 62 of the next succeeding panel 60 is completely fitted into the engagement recess 613 of the lowermost slat 61 of the uppermost panel 60 so that the lowermost slat 61 of the uppermost panel 60 and the next succeeding panel are formed. The upper end slat 62 of 60 is joined without any gap. For this reason, the lowermost slat 61 of the uppermost panel 60 and the upper end slat 62 of the next succeeding panel 60 are simultaneously pulled up in a state where they are joined to each other, and then the next succeeding panel 60
The other lower slats 61 are sequentially raised. By raising the panel 60 in this manner, the panel 60
Rises (longitudinal movement) along the guide rail 1 and the rotor vertical guide path G1. At this time, the support shaft 63 of each panel 60
The panel 81 is held at a position closest to the chain 5 by the slit 81 of the panel support arm 80. When the panel support arm 80 of the uppermost panel 60 reaches the meshing region of the sprocket 3 and the chain 5 and starts a circular motion along the tip of the sprocket 3, the panel support arm 80 is inserted through the slit 81 of the panel support arm 80. The supported shaft 63 is guided by the roller curved guide path G2 from the upper end of the roller vertical guide path G1 and moves through the slit 81 toward the free end side of the panel support arm 80. As a result, the radius of rotation of the support shaft 63 about the axis of the sprocket 3 becomes larger than the interval H1 between the chain longitudinal guide path F1 and the roller longitudinal guide path G1, so that the rotation along the roller curved guide path G2 is performed. The moving speed of the support shaft 63 becomes faster than the peripheral speed of the sprocket 3. Due to the difference between the moving speed of the support shaft 63 and the peripheral speed of the sprocket 3, the uppermost panel 60 having the support shaft 63
Rises at a speed faster than the rising speed of the succeeding panel 60. As a result, the concave-convex fitting between the fitting concave portion 613 of the lowermost slat 61 of the uppermost panel 60 and the plate-shaped neck portion (fitting convex portion) 623 of the upper end slat 62 of the next succeeding panel 60 is released. The upper panel 60 can be traversed in the direction along the storage rail 4. In this manner, the panel 60 raised via the panel supporting arm 80 and the support shaft 63 by the feed operation of the chain 5 by the rotation of the sprocket 3 causes the upper guide roller R1 to move from the roller curved guide path G2 to the roller of the storage rail 4. By shifting to the lateral taxiway G3, the panels 60 that have sequentially passed between the pair of left and right sprockets 3 are in a parallel posture, and
It is suspended and stored. When the switch 70 is started to rotate in the reverse direction from such a panel storage state, the panel driving sprocket 3 is driven to rotate counterclockwise in FIG. 2 so that each panel 60 in the storage box 2 becomes a guide. It is fed out between the rails 1 sequentially. In this case, first, the lowermost panel 60 on the roller longitudinal guideway G1 starts to descend along the guide rail 1, and the succeeding upper panel 60 moves from the roller lateral guideway G3 of the storage rail 4 to the roller curved guideway G2. When passing between the pair of right and left sprockets 3 along the roller vertical guide path G1 side, the support shaft 63 of the succeeding upper panel 60 is slit 81 of the panel support arm 80.
From the free end side of the panel support arm 80 in a direction approaching the chain 5. As a result, the rotation radius of the support shaft 63 about the axis of the sprocket 3 gradually decreases, but before reaching the horizontal line passing through the axis of the sprocket 3, the support shaft 63
It moves faster than the peripheral speed of the sprocket 3. For this reason, the initial descending speed of the panel 60 that passes between the pair of left and right sprockets 3 toward the roller longitudinal guideway G1 and starts to descend along the roller longitudinal guideway G1 is lower than the descending speed of the preceding descending panel 60. Be faster. Thereby, the lowermost slats 61 of the succeeding descending panel 60 are opposed to the plate-shaped neck 621 of the upper end slat 62 of the preceding descending panel 60.
Of the leading lower panel 60 and the lowermost slat 61 of the succeeding descending panel 60 are joined without any gap, and the panels 60 are lowered. In the process of lowering the panel 60, the lower slats 61 other than the upper slat 62 of each panel 60 have their respective upper engaging heads 612 at the inner lower ends of the engaging recesses 613 below the upper slat 61. Each panel 60 descends with its window hole 67 opened between the lower slats 61, with its own weight lowered to the engagement position. Then, when the lowermost slat 61 touches the ground, the other upper slats 61, 62 sequentially descend on the slat 61, so that the plate-shaped neck portions 611, 621 of the slats 61, 62 are respectively fitted with the upper fitting recesses 613, 623. Into a shutter fully closed state in which the window hole 67 is closed. With the shutter fully closed, the lowermost slat 61
Other slats so that they remain grounded
If the switches 61 and 62 are raised by the opening distance of the window hole 67 by activating the switch 70, the window hole 67 can be opened with the shutter fully closed. During the shutter opening / closing drive as described above, the slats 62, 61 of the panel 60 that moves longitudinally along the roller vertical guide path G1.
Are the pressing rollers R3, R6 and R4 of the panel posture correcting mechanism 90.
R5 ensures guidance in the same vertical plane direction. For this reason, the slats 62 and 61 are reliably prevented from swinging when they are fitted into and recessed from each other. Next, the shutter opening / closing operation by the manual shutter driving device shown in FIG. 5 will be described. In the fully closed state of the shutter, rotational energy in the direction to raise the panel 60 is stored in the balance spring 77 of the moment balancer 700. Therefore, when the panel 60 in the fully closed state of the shutter is slightly lifted by an artificial operation, the balance spring By releasing the rotation energy of 77 and continuing the ascent operation of the panel 60, the panel
The shutter 60 enters the storage box 2 and is stored in the shutter open state. When closing the shutter from the shutter open state,
The lowermost slat 61 may be pulled down by a manual operation against the spring force of the balance spring 77. The other detailed operations at the time of opening and closing the shutter by the manual operation are the same as those in the case of the above-described electric shutter driving device, and the description thereof will be omitted. FIG. 11 (A) is a sectional view showing a panel shutter device according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 (B) is FIG. 11 (A).
11 (C) is a right side view of FIG. 11 (B). This embodiment differs from the previous embodiment in that each panel 60 also has side plates 66 fixed to both side end surfaces of each slat 61 with screws 69. That is, in this embodiment, the side plate 66 has a slit similar to the slit 661 of the previous embodiment in the longitudinal direction,
A dedicated support plate is provided, and a screw hole for fixing the slat is provided in the support plate. The panel 60 having such a configuration increases the overall strength,
Processing of each slat is simplified, and manufacturing costs can be reduced.

As described above, according to the invention of claim 1, the panel vertically moving in the panel storage box is pressed and sandwiched by the pressing rollers from both the front and back sides, and is moved in the uneven fitting direction of the panels and the uneven fitting releasing direction. Since the vertical guiding structure is employed, the panel is prevented from being shaken, and there is an effect that the uneven fitting and the uneven fitting cancellation between the panels can be smoothly performed. According to the invention of claim 2, since the panel contact surface portion of the pressing roller is formed of a soft material, the panel can be more smoothly formed without damaging the panel surface or forcibly expanding the pair of pressing rollers by the panel. There is an effect that it can be guided. According to the invention of claim 3, one set of a plurality of slats each having a fitting projection on one of the upper and lower ends and a fitting recess on the other and vertically adjacent to each other is provided. The fitting projection and the fitting recess are vertically movably fitted to each other and the slats are connected to each other so as to be vertically expandable and contractable. Is supported by the chain meshed with the panel drive sprocket, and a window hole is provided in the abdomen of the fitting projection of each slat. A hole can be opened. When the shutter is fully closed, the window holes can be closed by shortening the slats of each panel so that there is no gap.
Therefore, even when the shutter is fully closed, the other upper slat can be raised within the allowable range of expansion and contraction of the uneven fitting portion between the slats by rotating the panel driving sprocket with the lower end slat of the lowermost panel grounded. This has the effect that the window hole can be opened while the shutter is fully closed.
