Each protrusion 14 is formed along the longitudinal direction of the accommodation groove 11. The internal dimension between the pair of protrusions 14 and 14 is larger than the dimension of the width across flats of the head of the bolt B and smaller than the diagonal distance. As a result, the bolt B can move between the protrusions 14 and 14 in the longitudinal direction but is prevented from rotating. The protrusion 14 has a height dimension shorter than the thickness dimension of the head of the bolt B.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the locking portion 12 is provided with positioning screws 15 for the first reinforcing member 50. The positioning screw 15 is provided in the vicinity of a position where the horizontal joist 30 is fixed to the rafter 10 (position corresponding to both ends in the longitudinal direction when the first reinforcing member 50 is installed at a desired position).

And has a U-shaped cross section (having a concave portion surrounded by the substrate portion 51 and the wall plate portions 52, 52). The first reinforcing member 50 is made of an extruded shape made of an aluminum alloy. The substrate part 51 is formed thicker than the locking part 12. The substrate portion 51 has a width dimension equivalent to the width (internal width dimension) of the receiving groove 11. The width dimension equivalent to the width of the receiving groove 11 is slightly smaller than the inner width of the receiving groove 11, and the first reinforcing member 50 does not get caught on the inner wall surfaces of the receiving groove 11, so It is a dimension that can be moved. Further, in the fixed state, the upper surface of the substrate portion 51 hits the lower surface of the locking portion 12 to generate a frictional force. A guide groove 53 is formed on the upper surface of the substrate portion 51 (the side surface opposite to the wall plate portion 52). The guide grooves 53 are provided at positions corresponding to the guide protrusions 13 and are parallel to each other. The guide ridge 13 is inserted into the guide groove 53.

The pair of wall plate portions 52, 52 extend at right angles to the substrate portion 51, and are parallel to each other. The outer surface of the wall plate portion 52 is flush with the outer surface of the substrate portion 51. The front end of the wall plate portion 52 is bent at a right angle inward in the width direction, and a reinforcing rib 52a is formed. The first reinforcing member 50 is disposed so that an opening having a U-shaped cross section opens toward the bottom of the receiving groove 11 (the concave portion opens toward the bottom of the receiving groove 11). And the head part of the volt | bolt B and the protrusion 14 for bolt rotation prevention are located in the recessed part inside the 1st reinforcement member 50. FIG. That is, the head of the bolt B and the bolt rotation preventing protrusion 14 are surrounded by the pair of wall plates 52 and 52 from both sides in the width direction of the housing groove 11. The height dimension of the first reinforcing member 50 (the dimension obtained by combining the thickness dimension of the substrate part 51 and the rising dimension of the wall plate part 52) is the same height as the depth (internal height dimension) of the receiving groove 11. Has dimensions. The equivalent width dimension is slightly smaller than the inner height of the receiving groove 11, and the first reinforcing member 50 does not get caught on the bottom surface of the receiving groove 11 or the lower surface of the locking portion 12. It is a dimension that can be moved.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the first reinforcing member 50 is arranged so that the pushing direction is the same as the longitudinal direction of the housing groove 11. The first reinforcing member 50 is formed in an elongated shape along the longitudinal direction of the housing groove 11 so as to penetrate a plurality of bolts B, B adjacent in the housing groove 11 along the longitudinal direction of the groove. Specifically, the length is substantially the same as the width of the inner side joist 30b (the length between both ends of the lower flange portions 32a and 32a). Bolt through holes 54 and 54 are formed in the substrate portion 51 at positions corresponding to the bolt through holes of the lower flange portions 32a and 32a (on the same axis). The distance between the bolt through holes 54 and 54 is the same as the distance between the bolt through holes of the lower flange portions 32a and 32a. Accordingly, the first reinforcing member 50 is a pair of bolts B and B adjacent to each other along the longitudinal direction of the groove in the housing groove 11 (bolts B and B inserted into the lower flange portions 32a and 32a of the inner horizontal joist 30b). Each is penetrated.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the second reinforcing member 60 includes a substrate portion 61 and a wall plate portion 62 and has a U-shaped cross section (enclosed by the substrate portion 61 and the wall plate portions 62 and 62). Have a recess). The substrate portion 61 is sandwiched between the locking portion 12 and the nut N. The second reinforcing member 60 is provided for each of the lower flange portions 32a on both sides.

  The second reinforcing member 60 is made of an extruded shape made of an aluminum alloy. The second reinforcing member 60 has a cross-sectional shape equivalent to that of the first reinforcing member 50. The substrate unit 61 has the same cross section as the substrate unit 51. The wall plate portion 62 has the same cross section as the wall plate portion 52, and a reinforcing rib 62a is formed at the tip. The second reinforcing member 60 is arranged so that the opening of the U-shaped cross section is opened upward (on the side joist 30 side) (the recessed portion is opened toward the distal end side of the shaft portion of the bolt B). ). The shaft portion of the bolt B and the nut N are located in the concave portion inside the second reinforcing member 60. That is, the shaft portion of the bolt B and the nut N are surrounded by the pair of wall plate portions 62 and 62 from both sides in the width direction of the second reinforcing member 60. Note that the second reinforcing member 60 has the same cross-sectional shape as the first reinforcing member 50 for the convenience of manufacture, but may have any size and shape as long as it has a predetermined strength.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the second reinforcing member 60 is arranged so that the longitudinal direction of the accommodation groove 11 and the extrusion direction are the same. The 2nd reinforcement member 60 is formed in the length substantially equivalent to the overhang | projection length of the lower flange part 32a, and covers the nut N from the lower side. A bolt through hole 64 is formed in the substrate portion 61.

  The first reinforcing member 50 and the second reinforcing member 60 configured as described above are fastened by bolts B and nuts N. Thereby, the first reinforcing member 50 and the second reinforcing member 60 sandwich the locking portion 12 of the rafter 10. Between the first reinforcing member 50 and the second reinforcing member 60, the lower flange portion 32 a is also located together with the locking portion 12, and is sandwiched together.

  The procedure for constructing the frame material fixing structure according to this embodiment will be described below. The construction procedure described below is a common construction procedure applied to both the case where the inner side joist 30b and the rafter 10 are fixed and the case where the end side joist 30a and the rafter 10 are fixed. First, the shaft portions of the pair of bolts B and B are inserted through the bolt through holes 54 and 54 from the wall plate portion 52 side of the first reinforcing member 50. One positioning screw 15 is attached to the locking portion 12. Then, the first reinforcing member 50 and the bolts B and B are inserted from the end of the receiving groove 11, and the shaft B of the bolt B protrudes from the gap between the locking portions 12 and 12, so 30 is moved along the longitudinal direction of the groove. At this time, the first reinforcing member 50 is slightly smaller than the internal dimension of the receiving groove 11, so that it does not get caught on the inner surface of the receiving groove 11. Further, since the guide protrusion 13 on the lower surface of the locking portion 12 enters the guide groove 53 on the upper surface of the substrate portion 51, the first reinforcing member 50 moves smoothly along the accommodation groove 11. The first reinforcing member 50 and the bolts B and B are accurately and easily stopped at a predetermined position by positioning screws 15 provided on the locking portion 12.

  Then, while installing the horizontal joist 30 on the axial part of the volt | bolts B and B which protrude from the rafter 10, the 2nd reinforcement members 60 and 60 are each installed. The second reinforcing member 60 is lowered from above the bolt B with the wall plate portion 62 facing upward, and the shaft portion of the bolt B is inserted into the bolt through hole 64. Then, the nut N is attached to the shaft portion of the bolt B protruding from the substrate portion 61 of the second reinforcing member 60 and tightened. At this time, since the head of the bolt B is in a state in which the rotation is prevented by the protrusions 14, 14, the nut N can be easily tightened. Thereafter, the positioning screw 15 is attached to the opposite end of the first reinforcing member 50, and the first reinforcing member 50 is sandwiched between the positioning screws 15.

  As described above, when the first reinforcing member 50 and the second reinforcing member 60 are tightened with the bolt B and the nut N, the first reinforcing member 50 and the second reinforcing member 60 are connected to the locking portion 12 of the rafter 10 and the horizontal joist 30. The lower flange portion 32a is clamped.

  According to the fixing structure of the frame material having such a configuration, the contact area to the locking portion 12 can be increased by the first reinforcing member 50. Therefore, even if the frame members are pulled away from each other by the negative pressure (the horizontal joist 30 is pulled up), the pressing force (the bolt B of the bolt B) tries to move upward. The support pressure from the head) is distributed over a wide area and acts on the locking portion 12. As a result, the surface pressure applied to the locking portion 12 can be reduced, and deformation (rolling up) of the locking portion 12 can be suppressed, so that a large negative pressure can be resisted. In the present embodiment, since the first reinforcing member 50 has a width dimension substantially equal to the width of the housing groove 11, the width dimension of the first reinforcing member 50 can be maximized. Thereby, the contact area to the latching | locking part 12 of the 1st reinforcement member 50 can be enlarged, and it can endure a bigger negative pressure. Furthermore, since the board | substrate part 51 of the 1st reinforcement member 50 is formed thicker than the latching | locking part 12, it can disperse | distribute and transmit the supporting force which acts intensively from the head of the volt | bolt B over a wide range. . Further, by providing the first reinforcing member 50 for each installation position of the bolt B, efficient reinforcement can be performed. That is, since the cross-sectional rigidity is intensively increased for each installation position of the bolt B, it is not necessary to increase the thickness of the entire locking portion 12, and the weight of the rafter 10 is prevented.

  Further, the first reinforcing member 50 is formed in a length substantially equal to the width of the horizontal joists 30 (the end horizontal joists 30a and the inner horizontal joists 30b) (the length between both ends of the lower flange portions 32a and 32a). Therefore, the contact area of the first reinforcing member 50 to the locking portion 12 can be further increased. Therefore, the surface pressure applied to the locking portion 12 can be further reduced. Moreover, the frictional force of the 1st reinforcement member 50 and the latching | locking part 12 can be enlarged because the contact area to the latching | locking part 12 of the 1st reinforcement member 50 becomes large, and the groove | channel longitudinal direction of the 1st reinforcement member 50 is made. Slip can be suppressed. Furthermore, since two bolts B and B are fixed by one first reinforcing member 50, the first reinforcing member 50 is installed as compared with the case where the first reinforcing member is provided for each bolt B and B. Time and effort can be reduced.

  Further, since the positioning screw 15 is provided in the locking portion 12, the positioning screw 15 contacts the end surface of the first reinforcing member 50 in the groove longitudinal direction, and the first reinforcing member 50 in the groove longitudinal direction is contacted. Slip and slip can be reliably prevented.

  Further, the first reinforcing member 50 has a U-shaped cross section and is arranged so that the head of the bolt B is positioned in the inner concave portion, so that the first reinforcing member 50 is efficiently reduced in weight. In addition, the cross-sectional rigidity of the first reinforcing member can be increased. That is, the wall plate portion 52 functions as a reinforcing rib, and the reinforcing rib 52a is formed at the tip of the wall plate portion 52, so that the cross-sectional rigidity of the first reinforcing member 50 is increased. Since the second reinforcing member 60 is also formed in a U-shaped cross section, it is possible to efficiently increase the cross sectional rigidity while reducing the weight of the second reinforcing member. Further, the first reinforcing member 50 and the second reinforcing member are both lighter in weight because the inside is hollow. Furthermore, both the first reinforcing member 50 and the second reinforcing member effectively use the space of the inner concave portion.

  In addition, since the first reinforcing member 50 has a height dimension equivalent to the depth of the housing groove 11, the height of the first reinforcing member 50 can be maximized and the cross-sectional rigidity can be increased.

  Furthermore, the latching | locking part 12 and the lower flange part 32a are clamped by the 1st reinforcement member 50 and the 2nd reinforcement member 60, and the latching | locking part 12 is hold | suppressed from both front and back, and the latching | locking part 12 and the lower flange part 32a Deformation can be further suppressed.

  As mentioned above, although the form for implementing this invention was demonstrated, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, In the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention, a design change is possible suitably. For example, in this embodiment, the frame material fixing structure is used for fixing the rafter 10 and the horizontal joist 30. However, if an accommodation groove is formed in another frame material, it is also used for fixing other frame materials. Is possible. Furthermore, it is employable also as a fixing structure of frame materials other than a solar panel mount.

  Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although the latching | locking part 12 is clamped with the 1st reinforcement member 50 and the 2nd reinforcement member 60, it is good also as only a 1st reinforcement member, without providing a 2nd reinforcement member. Even in such a configuration, since the contact area to the locking portion can be increased by providing the first reinforcing member, the pressing force that the first reinforcing member tries to move upward is dispersed over a wide area, and the locking portion It will take. As a result, the surface pressure applied to the locking portion can be reduced, and deformation (rolling up) of the locking portion can be suppressed.

  Thus, it is preferable to apply the fixing structure excluding the second reinforcing member when fixing the frame materials having a relatively small acting negative pressure, for example, the support column 40 and the brace 45. In addition, if the first reinforcing member is further elongated and the contact area with the locking portion is further increased, the structure can be applied as a fixing structure for frame members having relatively large acting negative pressure.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the 1st reinforcement member 50 and the 2nd reinforcement member 60 are comprised by the extruded shape member made from an aluminum alloy, it is not limited to this. For example, you may form with other materials, such as stainless steel alloy, steel material, and resin material. Further, instead of the extruded shape, a plate material may be formed by bending.
