Description

  The present invention relates to a fire prevention structure for an outlet box used for indoor wiring and a construction method thereof.

Since many outlets, switches, etc. installed inside the walls of buildings such as hollow walls contain plastic parts, when a fire breaks out, these outlets, switches, etc. melt and deform, and the fire flames cause the hollow walls, etc. May penetrate the inside of the wall.
When a fire flame enters the inside of a wall such as a hollow wall, there is a problem that the fire spreads through an electric cable connected to an outlet or a switch.
In order to cope with this problem, there has been proposed a fire prevention structure in which an outlet box is provided on the back of an outlet, a switch, or the like provided in a room, that is, inside a wall such as a hollow wall.

FIG. 13 is a schematic cross-sectional view for explaining a fire prevention structure of a first conventional outlet box.
A through hole is provided in the walls 40 and 40 forming the hollow wall, and the outlet box 1 is installed so as to cover the through hole from the inside of the walls 40 and 40. The outlet box 1 has a metal box shape having an opening. The outlet box 1 attached to the stud with a metal fitting or the like is installed inside the walls 40 and 40 in a state where the opening of the outlet box 1 faces the through hole of the walls 40 and 40.
An insertion hole is provided in the upper surface of the outlet box 1, and the electric cables 50 are inserted through the insertion hole. A fire spread prevention portion 30 made of a thermally expandable resin composition is provided outside the outlet box 1 so as to be in close contact with the outer periphery of the electric cables 50. The fire spread prevention part 30 is exposed inside the outlet box 1 and closes the insertion hole of the outlet box 1 and the electric cables 50.
The ends of the electric cables 50 are connected to a wiring terminal 74. Further, a holding frame 73 holding the wiring terminal 74 is attached to the walls 40 and 40.
According to the first conventional outlet box fire prevention structure, it is said that the fire spread can be prevented even when the outlet box is exposed to a flame such as a fire (Patent Document 1).

However, as is apparent from FIG. 13, after the outlet box 1 is installed inside the walls 40, 40, the outlet box 1 closes the through hole of the wall 40, so It is difficult to install the fire spread prevention unit 30 with respect to the electric cables 50 from the outside.
For this reason, it is very difficult to install the outlet box 1 inside the walls 40 and 40 unless the cable 50 is inserted into the outlet box 1 and the fire spread prevention unit 30 is installed. For this reason, when constructing the first conventional outlet box fire prevention structure, there are problems that the construction time is delayed depending on the level of proficiency of the installer, and the finishing accuracy is inadequate.
Further, after the outlet box 1 is installed inside the walls 40, 40, it is inspected from the outside of the walls 40, 40 whether there is a defect in the fire prevention structure of the first conventional outlet box installed. There was also a problem that was difficult to do.

FIG. 14 is a schematic cross-sectional view for explaining a fire prevention structure of a second conventional outlet box.
The second conventional outlet box fire prevention structure has a tubular structure when the electric cables 50 are fixed to the insertion hole of the outlet box 1 as compared to the first conventional outlet box fire prevention structure. The point which uses the cylindrical fixture 60 and the cylindrical fixture 61 is different.
A cylindrical fixture 60 is fixed to the electric cables 50 with a heat-resistant adhesive or the like, a cylindrical fixed receiver 61 is fixed to the insertion hole of the outlet box 1, and the cylindrical fixture 60 and the cylindrical fixed receiver are fixed. By fitting 61, the electric cables 50 can be fixed in the insertion hole of the outlet box 1.
In addition, the second conventional outlet box fire prevention structure has a gap between the tubular fixed receiver 61 and the electric cables 50 as compared with the first conventional outlet box fire prevention structure. The gap between the outlet box 1 and the wall 41 is closed with a heat-resistant putty 80, and the thermally expandable refractory sheet 20 is inserted into the outlet box 1, and further, a cylindrical tubular fixture 60 and a tubular fixed receiver. The difference is that the periphery of the tool 61 is wound by a thermally expandable refractory sheet 81.
According to this second conventional outlet box fire-protection structure, more reliable fire-proof performance can be secured (Patent Document 2).

However, even in the case of the second conventional outlet box fire prevention structure, after the outlet box is installed on the wall 41, the clearance between the outlet box 1 and the wall 41 is formed with a heat-resistant putty 80 from the outside of the wall 41. There was a problem that it was difficult to block.
In addition, after the outlet box 1 is installed inside the wall 41, the connection state between the cylindrical fixture 60 and the cylindrical fixture 61 cannot be observed from the outside of the wall 41. There remains a problem that it is difficult to inspect from the outside of the wall 41 whether there is a defect in the fire prevention structure of the conventional outlet box.

Furthermore, as a result of repeated studies by the present inventors, it was discovered that there are the following problems.
When the fire prevention structure of the second conventional outlet box described above is exposed to heat such as a fire, the cylindrical fixture 60 and the cylindrical fixture 61 are melted, burned, etc., and the cylindrical fixture is fixed. The heat-resistant putty 80 installed in the receiver 61 may hang down inside the outlet box 1 along the electric cables 50.
When the heat-resistant putty 80 is inside the outlet box 1, free expansion of the heat-expandable fireproof sheet 20 inserted into the outlet box 1 is prevented.
As a result, the inside of the outlet box 1 is not completely closed by the expansion residue due to the heat-expandable fireproof sheet 20, and there is a possibility that flames such as fire, smoke, and the like pass through.

  In addition, the powdery contents of the wall 41 are scraped and exposed on the inner surface of the through hole provided in the wall 41. For this reason, there is a problem that it is difficult to attach a refractory having an adhesive function to the inner surface of the through hole.

In addition, a commercially available outlet box is usually used by detachably combining an outlet box body and a gutter plate.
However, the shape of the plate differs depending on the company that manufactures and sells the outlet box.
For this reason, in the case where the shape of the plate supplied to the actual work site is different from the shape of the plate described in the construction procedure manual, additional adjustment work occurs. there were.

  The object of the present invention is to allow fire prevention measures to be easily performed without being influenced by the state of the inner surface of the through-hole even after the outlet box is attached to the inside of the wall. It can be inspected from the outside of the wall, can be easily constructed without depending on the shape of the outlet box body and the shape of the engraving, and the outlet box was exposed to heat such as fire In some cases, the present invention provides an outlet box fire prevention structure and its construction method that can prevent the inside of the outlet box from passing flames, smoke, and the like.

In the conventional fire prevention structure of the outlet box, before installing the outlet box on the wall, fire prevention measures should be taken unless a fire-resistant material such as a heat-expandable fire-resistant sheet or heat-resistant putty is installed at the designated position in the design. Could not do.
For this reason, in the conventional fire prevention structure of the outlet box, a wall or the like cannot be installed unless the fire prevention structure of the outlet box is completed, and it takes time to construct the fire prevention structure of the outlet box.

It also acts as an effective aggregate and forms a highly shape-retaining residue after combustion.

Next, the thermal expansion component among the components of the thermal expansion resin composition will be described. The thermal expansion component expands upon heating, but the thermal expansion component is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include thermal expansion layered inorganic materials such as vermiculite, kaolin, mica, and thermal expansion graphite.
The said thermal expansion component can obtain as a commercial item what the thermal expansion start temperature changes with structural components. In the present invention, the thermal expansion start temperature of the thermally expandable refractory sheet 20 can be changed by selecting the thermal expansion components having different thermal expansion start temperatures.

  The thermally expandable graphite is a conventionally known substance, and powders such as natural scaly graphite, pyrolytic graphite, quiche graphite, etc., inorganic acid such as concentrated sulfuric acid, nitric acid, selenic acid, concentrated nitric acid, perchloric acid, Crystalline compound that maintains a carbon layered structure by generating a graphite intercalation compound by treatment with a strong oxidant such as perchlorate, permanganate, dichromate, or hydrogen peroxide.

  The thermal expandable graphite preferably has a particle size in the range of 20 to 200 mesh.

  When the particle size is smaller than 20 mesh, the degree of expansion of graphite is small, and it is difficult to obtain a sufficient expansion residue. When the particle size is larger than 200 mesh, there is an advantage that the degree of expansion of graphite is large. Or when knead | mixing with an epoxy resin, a dispersibility worsens and a physical property falls easily.

Examples of commercially available neutralized thermally expandable graphite include “GRAFGUARD # 160”, “GRAFGUARD # 220” manufactured by UCAR CARBON, and “GREP-EG” manufactured by Tosoh Corporation.

Next, among the components of the above-mentioned thermally expandable resin composition, the inorganic filler will be described.
The inorganic filler is not particularly limited. For example, silica, diatomaceous earth, alumina, zinc oxide, titanium oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, antimony oxide, ferrites, calcium hydroxide, hydroxide Magnesium, aluminum hydroxide, basic magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, zinc carbonate, barium carbonate, dosonite, hydrotalcite, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, gypsum fiber, potassium silicate and other potassium salts, talc, clay, Mica, montmorillonite, bentonite, activated clay, ceviolite, imogolite, sericite, glass fiber, glass beads, silica-based balun, aluminum nitride, boron nitride, silicon nitride, carbon black, graphite, carbon fiber, carbon bal , Charcoal powder, various metal powders, potassium titanate, magnesium sulfate, lead zirconate titanate, aluminum borate, molybdenum sulfide, silicon carbide, stainless steel fiber, zinc borate, various magnetic powders, slag fiber, fly ash, inorganic phosphorus Compound, silica alumina fiber, alumina fiber, silica fiber, zirconia fiber and the like can be mentioned.

  These can use 1 type, or 2 or more types.

  The inorganic filler plays an aggregate role and contributes to an improvement in the strength of expansion residue generated after heating and an increase in heat capacity.

  For this reason, a calcium carbonate, a metal carbonate represented by zinc carbonate, an aluminum hydroxide that gives an endothermic effect during heating in addition to an aggregate role, and a water-containing inorganic material represented by magnesium hydroxide are preferred. An earth metal and a metal carbonate of the periodic table IIb or a mixture of these with the water-containing inorganic substance are preferable.

  When the inorganic filler used in the present invention is granular, the particle size is preferably in the range of 0.5 to 200 μm, more preferably in the range of 1 to 50 μm.

  When the amount of the inorganic filler added is small, the dispersibility largely affects the performance, so that a small particle size is preferable. However, when the particle size is 0.5 μm or more, secondary aggregation can be prevented, and the dispersibility It can prevent getting worse.

  In addition, when the amount of inorganic filler added is large, the viscosity of the resin composition increases and moldability decreases as high filling proceeds, but the viscosity of the resin composition is decreased by increasing the particle size. From the point of being able to do, the thing with a large particle size is preferable among the said range.

  In addition, if a particle size is 200 micrometers or less, it can prevent that the surface property of a molded object and the mechanical physical property of a resin composition fall.

Among the inorganic fillers, calcium carbonate, zinc carbonate and other metal carbonates that play an aggregate role in particular,
In addition to the aggregate role, water-containing inorganic substances such as aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide that give an endothermic effect during heating are preferred.

  It is considered that the combined use of the hydrated inorganic substance and the metal carbonate greatly contributes to improving the strength of the combustion residue and increasing the heat capacity.

  Among the inorganic fillers, in particular, water-containing inorganic substances such as aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide are endothermic due to the water generated by the dehydration reaction during heating, and the temperature rise is reduced and high heat resistance is obtained. This is preferable in that the oxide remains as a combustion residue and this acts as an aggregate to improve the strength of the combustion residue.

  Magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide have different temperature ranges that exhibit dehydration effects, so when used together, the temperature range that exhibits dehydration effects becomes wider, and more effective temperature rise suppression effects can be obtained. It is preferable to do.

  When the particle size of the water-containing inorganic substance is small, the bulk increases and it becomes difficult to achieve high filling. Therefore, in order to increase the dehydration effect, a large particle size is preferable. Specifically, it is known that when the particle size is 18 μm, the filling limit amount is improved by about 1.5 times compared to the particle size of 1.5 μm. Further, by combining a large particle size and a small particle size, higher packing can be achieved.

  As a commercial item of the said water-containing inorganic substance, for example, as aluminum hydroxide, “trade name: Hygielite H-42M” (manufactured by Showa Denko) with a particle diameter of 1 μm, “trade name: Hygilite H-31 with a particle diameter of 18 μm”. (Made by Showa Denko KK) and the like.

  Examples of commercially available calcium carbonate include “trade name: Whiten SB red” (manufactured by Shiraishi Calcium Co., Ltd.) having a particle size of 1.8 μm, and “trade name: BF300” (manufactured by Bihoku Flourishing Co., Ltd.) having a particle size of 8 μm Etc.

The total of the thermal expansion component and the inorganic filler is preferably in the range of 200 to 600 parts by weight.

  Such a resin composition expands by heating to form an expansion residue. According to this composition, the thermally expandable resin composition expands by heating such as a fire, and can obtain a necessary volume expansion coefficient. After expansion, a residue having a predetermined heat insulation performance and a predetermined strength is obtained. It can be formed, and stable fireproof performance can be achieved.

When the amount of the thermal expansion component is 20 parts by weight or more, the expansion ratio is improved, and sufficient fire resistance and fire prevention performance can be obtained.
On the other hand, when the amount of the thermal expansion component is 350 parts by weight or less, the pseudo-collecting force is improved, so that the strength of the molded product is increased.
Moreover, since the remaining volume after combustion can be ensured as the amount of the inorganic filler is 50 parts by weight or more, a sufficient expansion residue can be obtained. Furthermore, since the ratio of combustibles decreases, flame retardance improves.

  On the other hand, when the amount of the inorganic filler is 400 parts by weight or less, the blending ratio of the resin component increases, and sufficient cohesive force can be obtained, so that strength as a molded product can be ensured.

  When the total amount of the thermal expansion component and the inorganic filler in the resin composition is 200 parts by weight or more, the amount of residue after combustion can be ensured, and sufficient fireproof performance can be obtained. It can prevent deterioration of physical properties and can withstand long-term use.
