Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a panel assembly panel element, and more particularly to a panel assembly panel element and a panel assembly panel element having a strengthened bonding force between the panel element and the stringer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 5 shows a building panel assembly disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 46-3434, wherein 1 is a vertically elongated stringer having a U-shaped cross section, and 2 are vertically spaced apart from each other in the stringer 1. The ear-shaped protrusions 3, 4 formed by the above are fitted into the upper surface of the ear-shaped protrusion 2 and the groove formed between the ear-shaped protrusions 2, respectively. Figure 6 shows a bottom panel device.

In such a panel assembly, the curved ends of adjacent panel elements incorporated in the stringer 1 overlap each other to increase the degree of coupling between the two.

Although this panel element is formed of a metal plate such as aluminum having a thickness of about 0.6 mm, the above stringer is used as it is, and only the panel element is replaced with a metal by extrusion molding using a plastic such as polycarbonate. Are required to be formed by.

[0005]

However, the plastic plate cannot be made so thin due to the problem of strength, and its thickness must be about 1.5 mm or more. Thus 1.
When using a panel element with a thickness of about 5 mm or more,
Since the panel element has high rigidity, when the panel element is incorporated into the stringer 1 as shown in FIG. 6, the curved end portion of the top panel element 3 is pushed up by the edge of the curved end portion of the bottom panel element 4, and the top panel element 4 is pushed up. The edge of the curved end of the element 3 does not contact the curved end of the bottom panel element 4,
Both of them come into contact with each other only at one point, which is not only inferior to the two-point contact when a thin panel element is used as shown in FIG. 7 but also has a drawback that the top panel element 3 is deformed. there were.

The present invention eliminates the above drawbacks.

[0007]

A panel element for a panel assembly according to the present invention comprises a flat panel element body having both ends curved in an arc shape, and both end edge portions thinner than the main body portion. Is characterized by.

Further, in the panel element for a panel assembly of the present invention, the both ends have protrusions at inner surface positions close to the end edges.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the panel elements 3 and 4 are formed of, for example, a polycarbonate plate having a thickness of 1.5 mm, and the end edge portion 5 of the curved end portion thereof is, for example, 5.
The thickness is slightly reduced to 1.2 mm over the length of mm.

Since the panel element for a panel assembly of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, the panel element is a stringer 1.
When it is incorporated into the device, the rigidity of the curved edge portion 5 is weak, and like the case of using a thin panel element, the curved edge portions of the adjacent panel elements come into contact with each other at two points to prevent a decrease in the binding force. You can

In another embodiment of the present invention, the edge portion of the curved end portion is thinned, and as shown in FIG. 2, the inner surface of the curved end portion of the panel element is, for example, 3 mm from the edge.
When a projection 6 having a height of, for example, 1 mm is formed at the position of, and such a panel element is incorporated in the stringer 1, the projection 6 of the top panel element 3 is replaced with the projection 6 of the bottom panel element 4 as shown in FIG. Try to get over and overlap.

According to this example, the coupling force between both panel elements can be further increased.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of a case where the panel element of the other embodiment is incorporated in a stringer which does not use a bottom panel element.

In this case, the protrusion 6 is the stringer 1.
The panel element 3 is engaged with the lower surface recess of the ear-shaped protrusion 2 so that the panel element 3 does not come off from the stringer 1 unintentionally.

[0016]

As described above, according to the panel element for a panel assembly of the present invention, even if a thick panel element is used, there is a great advantage that the panel elements and the bonding force between the panel element and the stringer are not deteriorated. .
