  The panel 4 of the vertical louver unit of the present invention was made of a translucent polycarbonate as the material of the panel 4 in order to take into account nighttime illumination.

The configuration of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The vertical louver device 1 of the first embodiment is provided between the outer glass wall 2 and the inner glass wall 3 and has 14 units in a glass wall having 14 spans. 1 is a vertical louver device 1 provided with a panel 4 of a vertical louver unit made of translucent polycarbonate. FIG. 1 shows a panel state when fully closed, and FIG. 2 shows a panel state when fully opened. FIG. 3 shows the state of the panel when the rightmost panel 4 has an angle of 45 degrees in the middle of opening (or closing). The numerical value displayed below the panel is the opening (or closing) of each panel 4. It shows the angle. The opening angle can be freely set. In the case of Example 1, the opening angle is set to the numerical value shown in FIG.

More specifically, the panel 4 of the vertical louver unit of the first embodiment has the same height, and as shown in FIG. 5, the cross section has a line-symmetric shape with respect to the center in the width direction. The part to be A has a length of A and B, respectively, and when the part is fully closed, it has a shape parallel to the external glass wall 2 and has two angles between both ends and the top. Each panel 4 has a trapezoidal umbrella shape as a whole, and the panels 4 are provided one by one in the external glass wall 2 of one span. 4 is provided, and the lower portion of the rotation shaft 5 is configured so that the panel 4 is opened by 90 degrees or more in advance by an opening auto hinge 6, and the upper side of the rotation shaft 5 is a bearing (not shown). Each panel supported by There has been fully open stopper 7 is provided so as to fully open the stop at the position of 90 degrees. 5 (6) in the drawing is a portion that is too fine when viewed from the whole figure, so this portion is the rotating shaft 5 and also the opening auto hinge 6 to which the rotating shaft 5 is attached. It means that. In the case of the first embodiment, each panel 4 is configured to be opened in the clockwise direction.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, operating vehicles 8 a and 8 b for regulating and adjusting the opening angle of each panel 4 are arranged in parallel with the external glass wall 2 at the lower part on the back side of each vertical louver unit panel 4. on the horizontal shaft 9 which is laterally disposed provided through the bracket, the horizontal shaft 9 is connected via a connecting plate 12 by the pinion 10 and the rack 11 which is mounted on the drive motor shaft for lateral movement, transverse The shaft 9 is configured to be laterally movable by a plurality of sets of shaft guides 13 for the horizontal shaft in which both lateral surfaces and the lower surface are integrally configured by a rotating roller. In the case of this embodiment 1, the first panel is moved first. When fully closed, a contact portion with the louver actuator 8a is provided at the right end (P position) of the parallel portion of the back surface side of the first panel 4, and the adjacent panel 4 starts from that portion. The abutting portion is sequentially shifted from the reference position toward the parallel portion, and the predetermined position is sequentially shifted so that the operating wheel 8b contacts the left end (Q position) of the parallel portion of the last fourteenth panel 4. All the panels 4 are configured to reach the fully opened position while maintaining the opening angle.

The horizontal shaft 9 moves until the rightmost fourteenth panel 4 contacts the rightmost fourteenth fully open stopper 7 and stops moving only when it is detected by a fully open detection sensor (not shown). This fully open and fully closed detection sensor (not shown) is now provided in the rack 11 of the drive unit, but it may be provided in the horizontal shaft 9 and in the fully open and fully closed positions of the right and left end panels 4. You may attach a bracket there.

Further, in the first embodiment, two actuating vehicles 8 are used in order to cope with a shortage of stroke in design. However, in some cases, it may be further increased. If there is no shortage of stroke, one is usually sufficient. In the case of the first embodiment, there are actually only one part and two required panels 4, but in order to unify the parts, the parts to which the two operating vehicles 8a and 8b are attached are used for all the panels. .

Next, the operation of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, all the panels 4 are in the fully closed position. When the release switch (not shown) is turned on, the pinion 10 attached to the drive motor shaft starts to rotate, and the horizontal shaft 9 that has stopped at the fully closed position via the rack 11 and the connecting plate 12 gradually moves to the right. Begin to. Accordingly, the operating vehicles 8a and 8b that restrict the opening of each panel 4 also move to the right and the first panel 4 at the left end starts to open. Further, as the horizontal shaft moves to the right, the panels 4 that have been regulated at a predetermined angle are opened sequentially, and each panel 4 is opened while changing the angle little by little. The transition of shades of color tone forms a deformation as a whole, and you can see it with an artistry.

The actuating vehicle 8a that has restricted the opening angle of the leftmost panel 4 for the first time after the predetermined position on the back surface side of the first panel 4 at the left end abuts against the fully open stopper 7 will leave the first panel 4, and still Further, since the horizontal shaft 9 moves to the right, the same phenomenon occurs and the adjacent panels 4 are sequentially fully opened and stopped until the 14th panel 4 at the right end is fully opened. As shown in FIG. 2, all are stopped at the fully open position.

Next, when a closing switch (not shown) is turned on from the fully open stop position, the horizontal shaft 9 starts to move to the left, and accordingly, the operation vehicles 8a and 8b on the horizontal shaft 9 also move, and this time the The operation vehicle 8a starts to contact in order from the back side of the fourteenth panel 4, and the panel 4 starts to close sequentially. When either of the operating vehicles 8a and 8b passes through the parallel part at the top of the panel 4, the panel 4 is kept in the fully closed position, and the operating vehicle 8a of the first panel on the left end is in the fully closed contact position. When it reaches, the stop signal is issued by the fully-closed detection sensor, the drive motor stops and the fully-close is completed. On the way, each panel 4 is closed while changing the angle little by little, so when viewed from a distance, the transition of shades of color tone forms a deformation as a whole and looks artistic. I can do it.

  Next, a description will be given of a method for starting the opening / closing operation in order from the 14th position of the right end using the same components. The right end of the parallel portion of the 14th panel 4 when fully closed as shown in FIG. The 14th operating vehicle 8a is brought into contact with (P position) as a reference position, and the adjacent panel 4 is slightly shifted from the reference position toward the parallel portion to position the contact portion of the operating vehicle 8a. If the first operation vehicle 8b is brought into contact with the left end (Q position) of the parallel portion of the first panel 4 and the operation vehicles 8a and 8b are in contact with each other so as to be sequentially shifted between them, the 14th is installed. Opening and closing operations are performed sequentially from the panel.

Produces a vertical louver device that arranges n panels 4 set in advance so as to be opened in the clockwise direction and opens and closes at regular intervals from the first panel 4 to the last n-th panel 4 In order to do this, it is first determined whether one operating vehicle 8 having a size with an open / close stroke already established is moved from the right end to the left end of the parallel portion provided on the back surface portion of each panel 4. If there is no shortage, the number increases to 1. If it is insufficient, it increases to 2. If it is still insufficient, it increases to 3. Here, assuming a case where the opening / closing stroke is not short and a case where only one operating vehicle 8a is required will be described, a case where there is only one operating vehicle 8a is assumed in FIG.

First, determine whether to start the opening / closing operation from the rightmost (last) panel 4 or whether to start the opening / closing operation from the leftmost (first) panel 4, determine the reference panel, and provide it on the back side of the panel 4 accordingly The actuating wheel 8a is brought into contact with the right end (P position) of the part that is parallel when fully closed, and the adjacent panel 4 shifts the contact part in the direction of the part parallel to the reference position. Then, the operating vehicle 8a may be set. Since the first reference position is the right end and the last is the left end, the shift distance may be shifted by 1 / n of the distance B of the parallel portion. Therefore, the contact position of the X-th panel 4 on the working vehicle 8a is a distance away by X of n in the direction of the portion parallel to the reference position. As shown in FIG. 10, this gives a similar result for a panel that is not symmetrical.

    Example 2 is a vertical louver device 1 in which a panel 4 of 14 units of translucent polycarbonate vertical louver units is provided in a glass wall having 14 spans of Example 1, and 7 spans as shown in FIG. The open / close pattern is configured as one block, and the open / close pattern having the same configuration is provided in 2 blocks every 7 spans. This is based on the position where the end portion of the first vertical louver unit of each block in parallel is in contact with the operating vehicle, and the operation vehicle of the adjacent vertical louver unit is parallel to the reference position described above. The positioning method is described in detail in the first embodiment, so that the description thereof is omitted, and the operation is also performed for each block. Since it is the same as Example 1, description is abbreviate | omitted.

Example 3 is a case where the back surface of the panel 4 does not have a portion parallel to the glass wall when fully closed. FIG. 11 shows a panel 4 of a vertical louver unit that has a circular cross section and has no portion parallel to the back side when fully closed. In this case, as shown in FIG. 11, a band-like auxiliary tool 15 having a parallel portion may be attached and fixed to the back surface portion of the panel 4 between the lower surface portion of the panel 4 and the operating vehicle 8 a. In this case, it is necessary to note that the end of the side in contact with the operating vehicle 8a has continuity (obtuse angle) when the operating vehicle 8a moves, as indicated by the white arrow in the figure. The adjustment procedure of the panel 4 having the parallel portion is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the operation thereof is also the same as that of the first embodiment, so that the description thereof is omitted.

As the vertical louvers device, the vertical frame of the glass wall 3 of the panel 4 of the first embodiment as shown in FIGS. 12 to 15, provided the elongated LED unit frame 16 on which the LED lighting is provided in tandem , it is those from there toward the panel 4 side of the vertical louver unit on which turns on the LED lighting apparatus, and the vertical louver system is actuated configured to get and watch enjoying its appearance from the outside side (Example 4) . In addition, when it is lit up and opened and closed at night, the light and shadow become more prominent. Since the operation is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

    The vertical louver device of the present invention can also be used as a horizontal louver device in exactly the same manner, with the same configuration, and by placing the vertical one sideways.
