Description

Aspects of the present invention generally relate to mechanisms for opening and closing sliding doors.

A sliding door having a first door and a second door adjacent to each other, wherein at least the first door is a sliding type, in a fully closed state in which the first door and the second door are closed in order to improve design. It has a flat structure. For example, as in Patent Document 1, when fully closed, the adjacent first door and second door are in a flat state, and when the sliding first door is opened, the first door and the second door There is known an opening/closing mechanism for a slide door in which two are overlapped back and forth.

In such a slide door opening/closing mechanism, when the first door is opened from the fully closed state, there is a risk that the opposing side end surfaces of the first door and the second door may interfere with each other. For this reason, it is necessary to provide a gap between the first door and the second door in the fully closed state in consideration of the movable area when the doors shift from the fully closed state to the state in which the doors overlap one another.

However, such a gap may deteriorate the design of the sliding door. For example, in the first door and the second door, it is conceivable to form the shape of the side end faces facing each other when fully closed into a slope shape. There is a concern that the design will deteriorate.

Therefore, when fully closed, the adjacent first door and second door are in a flat state, and when the first door is opened, the sliding door opening and closing mechanism in which the first door and the second door are overlapped in the front-rear direction. Then, even if the gap provided between the first door and the second door when fully closed is small, the interference between the first door and the second door when opened can be suppressed, and the designability when opened is reduced. It is desirable to be able to suppress

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-32177

The present invention has been made based on the recognition of this problem, and even if the gap provided between the first door and the second door when fully closed is reduced, the first door and the second door when open To provide an opening/closing mechanism for a slide door capable of suppressing interference with a door and suppressing deterioration of designability when opened.

A first invention has a first door and a second door adjacent to each other, and is used for a sliding door in which at least the first door is a sliding type, and the first door and the second door are closed. When closed, the first door and the second door adjacent to each other are placed in a flat state, and when the first door is opened, the slide door overlaps the first door and the second door in the front-back direction. An opening/closing mechanism, wherein the first door is supported so as to be slidable between a first closed position and a first open position, and the first door overlaps the second door in the front-rear direction at the first open position. a first supporting portion to be aligned; a second supporting portion to support the second door movably between a second closed position and a second open position; an interlocking mechanism interlocking with movement to the open position and moving the second door so as to avoid interference with the first door.

This sliding door opening/closing mechanism has an interlocking mechanism that interlocks with the movement of the first door from the first closed position to the first open position and moves the second door so as to avoid interference with the first door. Therefore, even if the gap provided between the first door and the second door when fully closed is small, interference between the first door and the second door when opened can be suppressed. Moreover, in the first door and the second door, there is no need to form the shape of the side end faces facing each other when fully closed into a slanted shape. For example, the side end faces of the first door and the second door can be made substantially perpendicular to the front face. Therefore, it is possible to suppress deterioration in designability when the door is opened.

In a second aspect based on the first aspect, the interlocking mechanism moves the first door in the front-rear direction when moving the first door from the first closed position to the first open position, The sliding door opening/closing mechanism is characterized in that the second door is moved in a direction opposite to the movement of the first door in the front-rear direction.

According to this opening/closing mechanism of the slide door, it is possible to suppress the behavior when moving the second door so as to avoid interference with the first door. For example, when the first door is moved, it is possible to prevent the second door from greatly moving and causing the user to feel uncomfortable. Therefore, it is possible to further reduce the gap provided between the first door and the second door when the door is fully closed, thereby further improving the design. Furthermore, even when the width of each side end face of the first door and the second door (the depth of the door) is large, interference between the doors can be avoided with a slight movement.

In a third aspect based on the first or second aspect, the first support portion moves the first door to the first closed position only by an operation in a direction in which the first door approaches the second door. to the first open position, and the first door is moved from the first open position to the first closed position only by an operation in the direction of separating the first door from the second door. This is a sliding door opening/closing mechanism.

According to this opening/closing mechanism of the slide door, for example, an operation such as pulling the first door forward and then sliding it is not required. can.

In a fourth invention, in any one of the first to third inventions, the first door faces the second door in the second closed position when the first door is in the first closed position. The second door has a first side end face, and the second door has a second side end face facing the first side end face of the first door in the first closed position when the second door is in the second closed position. and the interlocking mechanism separates the first side end surface from the second side end surface back and forth in accordance with movement of the first door from the first closed position to the first open position. Opening and closing of a sliding door characterized by tilting the door and moving the second door to tilt the second door so that the second side end face is separated from the first side end face. mechanism.

According to this sliding door opening/closing mechanism, by inclining the first door and the second door, it is possible to further reduce the behavior of the second door, and when the first door and the second door are fully closed, can be made smaller. For example, even if the first door can be opened and closed only by an operation in the direction of approaching or separating from the second door, interference between the doors can be suppressed simply by tilting the first door and the second door. It can be realized by configuration.

In a fifth aspect of the invention, in any one of the first to fourth aspects of the invention, the interlocking mechanism moves the second door at the same time when the first door starts to move from the first closed position to the first open position. A sliding door opening/closing mechanism characterized by moving the door.

According to this opening/closing mechanism of the slide door, the movement of the second door starts simultaneously with the opening operation of the first door. The gap provided between the door and the door can be kept smaller.

In a sixth aspect based on the fifth aspect, the interlocking mechanism mechanically transmits an operating force for moving the first door from the first closed position to the first open position to the second door. Thus, the slide door opening/closing mechanism is characterized by moving the second door.

According to this opening/closing mechanism for the slide door, it is possible to realize the structure of the interlocking mechanism for moving the second door simultaneously with the start of movement of the first door from the first closed position to the first open position with a simple structure. can.

In a seventh aspect based on any one of the first to sixth aspects, the second support portion slidably moves the second door between the second closed position and the second open position. and the second door is overlapped with the first door in the front-rear direction at the second open position, and the interlocking mechanism interlocks with the movement of the second door from the second closed position to the second open position. and moving the first door so as to avoid interference with the second door.

According to this sliding door opening/closing mechanism, both the first door and the second door are slidable, and by moving the first door in conjunction with the movement of the second door, the usability of the sliding door is further improved. can be made For example, when the first door and the second door are vertically adjacent to each other and the first door and the second door are slid vertically, the first door and the second door are adjusted to the optimum height according to the height of the user. 2 doors can be opened and closed. Further, for example, when the first door and the second door are adjacent to each other on the left and right and the first door and the second door are slid to the left and right, it becomes possible to open and close from either the left or right, limiting the place of use, etc. can be suppressed.

According to the aspect of the present invention, when the first door is fully closed, the adjacent first door and the second door are in a flat state, and when the first door is opened, the first door and the second door are overlapped in the front-rear direction. In an opening/closing mechanism for a slide door, interference between the first door and the second door when the door is opened can be suppressed even if a gap provided between the first door and the second door when the door is fully closed is made small, and the opening and closing can be performed. Provided is an opening/closing mechanism for a slide door that can suppress deterioration of the design of the slide door.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, in each drawing, the same reference numerals are given to the same constituent elements, and detailed description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing a cabinet provided with a slide door and its opening/closing mechanism according to an embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 1, the cabinet 10 includes a storage shelf 12, a slide door 14, and an opening/closing mechanism 16. As shown in FIG.

The storage shelf 12 is in the shape of an open box with an open front. The storage shelf 12 is, for example, in the shape of a substantially rectangular open box. The storage shelf 12 has a storage space SP (see FIG. 2) with an open front, and articles can be stored in the storage space SP.

Cabinet 10 is, for example, a kitchen cabinet installed in a kitchen space. The cabinet 10 is installed, for example, as rear storage at the rear of a face-to-face system kitchen, and stores articles such as tableware and cooking utensils in the storage space SP.

However, the application of the cabinet 10 is not limited to the above. The cabinet 10 may be, for example, a kitchen cabinet incorporated in a system kitchen such as a sink or under a counter of the system kitchen. Moreover, the cabinet 10 is not limited to a kitchen cabinet, and may be any cabinet used for other purposes.

A slide door 14 is provided in front of the storage shelf 12 . Hereinafter, in the specification of the present application, the direction in which the sliding door 14 is provided with respect to the storage shelf 12 is defined as "forward", and the opposite direction is defined as "rear". The upward, downward, rightward, and leftward directions when facing forward are defined as "upward," "downward," "rightward," and "leftward," respectively. The front is, in other words, the direction in which the storage shelf 12 opens.

The slide door 14 has a first door 21 and a second door 22 adjacent to each other. In this example, the first door 21 and the second door 22 are vertically adjacent to each other. The first door 21 and the second door 22 may be adjacent to each other in the horizontal direction, for example.

The first door 21 and the second door 22 are slide type. However, in the slide door 14, at least the first door 21 should be of a sliding type. The second door 22 may be, for example, a hinged door. In this example, when the first door 21 and the second door 22 are vertically adjacent to each other, the first door 21 is on the lower side and the second door 22 is on the upper side. Conversely, the upper side may be the first door 21 and the lower side may be the second door 22 . When the first door 21 and the second door 22 are arranged in the left-right direction, the right side may be the first door 21 and the left side may be the first door 21 .

When the first door 21 and the second door 22 are vertically slidable, the cabinet 10 further includes, for example, a fall prevention mechanism (not shown). The fall prevention mechanism has, for example, a spring or the like, and by balancing the biasing force of the spring or the like with the weight of the first door 21 and the second door 22, the first door 21 and the second door 22 can be moved vertically as desired. position. However, the configuration of the fall prevention mechanism is not limited to this, and may be any configuration that can suppress a sudden drop of the first door 21 and the second door 22 that slide up and down. Further, for example, when the first door 21 and the second door 22 are slid in the horizontal direction, the fall prevention mechanism is unnecessary.

The first door 21 has a front surface 21a facing forward. The second door 22 has a front surface 22a facing forward. The shape of the first door 21 and the second door 22 is, for example, a substantially rectangular shape corresponding to the shape of the storage shelf 12 . The first door 21 and the second door 22 are, for example, substantially rectangular plates.

The thickness of the first door 21 and the second door 22 is, for example, 21 mm. The gap GP in the adjacent direction (for example, vertical direction) is about 5 mm (for example, 2 mm or more and 8 mm or less). In other words, the gap GP between the front surfaces 21a and 22a is about 5 mm. As a result, the sliding door 14 can have a high degree of design.

The first door 21 and the second door 22 cover the entire forward-facing opening 12a (see FIG. 2) of the storage shelf 12 when fully closed. By moving (opening) the first door 21 and the second door 22 from the fully closed position, a part of the opening 12a (storage space SP) of the storage shelf 12 is exposed forward. Thus, by opening the first door 21 or the second door 22, it is possible to take articles in and out of the storage space SP of the storage shelf 12. FIG.

The slide door 14 is not limited to the two doors 21 and 22, and may have three or more doors. Moreover, the cabinet 10 may further include a door, a drawer, or the like other than the slide door 14 . Thus, when the slide door 14 has three or more doors, or when the cabinet 10 further includes another door or the like, the first door 21 and the second door 22, when fully closed, can be used as storage shelves. 12 covers only a portion of the forward facing opening 12a. In other words, the first door 21 and the second door 22 need only cover at least a portion of the forward facing opening 12a of the storage shelf 12 when fully closed.

The opening/closing mechanism 16 supports the first door 21 and the second door 22 so that they can be opened and closed. In other words, the opening/closing mechanism 16 slidably supports the sliding first door 21 and the second sliding door 22 . The opening/closing mechanism 16 is provided at the front end of the storage shelf 12 . The slide door 14 is provided in front of the opening/closing mechanism 16 . That is, the slide door 14 is provided in front of the storage shelf 12 via the opening/closing mechanism 16 . The opening/closing mechanism 16 may be attached inside the storage shelf 12, for example. The opening/closing mechanism 16 may be configured to support the first door 21 and the second door 22 in front of the storage shelf 12 so that they can be opened and closed.

When the first door 21 and the second door 22 are fully closed, the opening/closing mechanism 16 brings the adjacent first door 21 and the second door 22 into a flat state. Further, when opening the first door 21 or the second door 22, the opening/closing mechanism 16 overlaps the first door 21 and the second door 22 in the front-rear direction.

Here, the "flat state" refers to, for example, the position of the front surface 21a of the first door 21 and the front surface 22a of the second door 22 in the front-rear direction at the adjacent portion of the first door 21 and the second door 22. The difference is 5 mm or less. In this example, for example, the difference in position between the upper end portion of the front surface 21a and the lower end portion of the front surface 22a in the front-rear direction is 5 mm or less. For example, when the first door 21 and the second door 22 are arranged in the left-right direction, the adjacent portions of the first door 21 and the second door 22 are the left and right ends of the front surfaces 21a and 22a.

2(a) to 2(d) are side views schematically showing a cabinet provided with a sliding door and its opening/closing mechanism according to the embodiment.
As shown in FIGS. 2(a) to 2(d), the storage shelf 12 has, for example, a shelf board 12b. The shelf board 12b is provided in the storage space SP of the storage shelf 12, and divides the storage space SP into a first space SP1 and a second space SP2 by vertically partitioning the storage space SP. The second space SP2 is provided above the first space SP1. The first space SP1 is, in other words, a lower storage space. The second space SP2 is, in other words, an upper storage space. The shelf board 12b is provided as needed and can be omitted. For example, when the first door 21 and the second door 22 are arranged side by side, the shelf board 12b may not be provided.

The opening/closing mechanism 16 includes a first support portion 31 , a second support portion 32 and an interlocking mechanism 34 . 2(a) to 2(d), illustration of a part of the storage shelf 12 and the opening/closing mechanism 16 is omitted for the sake of convenience. Specifically, the illustration of the side panel 12c of the storage shelf 12 and the side panel 36 of the opening/closing mechanism 16 (see FIG. 1 for both) is omitted for convenience. The side panel 36 is provided on the side of the first support portion 31, the second support portion 32, and the interlocking mechanism 34, and prevents them from being exposed to the side. In addition, in FIGS. 2(a) to 2(d), for the sake of simplification, the side end faces of the storage shelf 12, from which the side panel 12c is omitted, are hatched.

The first support portion 31 , the second support portion 32 , and the interlocking mechanism 34 are provided at both ends of the storage shelf 12 and the slide door 14 in the horizontal direction. That is, the opening/closing mechanism 16 includes a pair of first support portions 31, a pair of second support portions 32, and a pair of interlocking mechanisms 34 provided at both ends of the storage shelf 12 and the slide door 14 in the horizontal direction. .

For example, when the first door 21 and the second door 22 slide in the horizontal direction, the first support portion 31, the second support portion 32, and the interlocking mechanism 34 move in the vertical direction of the storage shelf 12 and the slide door 14. provided at both ends of the In this manner, the first support portion 31, the second support portion 32, and the interlocking mechanism 34 are arranged in the storage shelf 12 and the slide door 14 in the direction orthogonal to the sliding movement direction of the first door 21 and the second door 22. provided at both ends.

However, the number of each of the first support portion 31, the second support portion 32, and the interlocking mechanism 34 is not limited to two, and may be one or three or more. The numbers of the first supporting portions 31, the second supporting portions 32, and the interlocking mechanisms 34 may differ between the first supporting portions 31, the second supporting portions 32, and the interlocking mechanisms 34, respectively.

The pair of first support portions 31 provided at both ends of the storage shelf 12 and the slide door 14 in the left-right direction are symmetrical and have substantially the same configuration. The pair of second support portions 32 and the pair of interlocking mechanisms 34 are the same as the pair of first support portions 31 . Therefore, the configurations of the first support portion 31, the second support portion 32, and the interlocking mechanism 34 on one side in the left-right direction will be described below.

The first support portion 31 slides between the first closed position (the position shown in FIG. 2(a)) and the first open position (the position shown in FIG. 2(c)). is supported, and the first door 21 is overlapped with the second door 22 in the front-rear direction at the first open position.

The second support portion 32 moves the second door 22 between a second closed position (the position shown in FIG. 2(a)) and a second open position (the position shown in FIG. 2(d)). To support. In this example, the second support portion 32 supports the second door 22 so as to be slidable between the second closed position and the second open position, and moves the second door 22 to the first door 21 at the second open position. overlap front and back. For example, when the second door 22 is of a hinge type, the second support portion 32 supports the second door 22 so as to be rotationally movable between the second closed position and the second open position.

When the first door 21 is in the first closed position, the first door 21 covers the front of the first space SP1. When the first door 21 is in the first open position, the first space SP1 opens forward. Accordingly, by moving the first door 21 to the first open position, it is possible to take articles in and out of the first space SP1.

Similarly, when the second door 22 is in the second closed position, the second door 22 covers the front of the second space SP2. When the second door 22 is in the second open position, the second space SP2 opens forward. Accordingly, by moving the second door 22 to the second open position, it becomes possible to take articles in and out of the second space SP2.

The first support part 31 moves the first door 21 from the first closed position to the first open position only by operating the first door 21 toward the second door 22, and moves the first door 21 to the second position. The first door 21 is moved from the first open position to the first closed position only by the operation in the direction of separating from the door 22.例文帳に追加That is, in this example, only by the operation of moving the first door 21 upward, the first door 21 moves from the first closed position to the first open position, and only by the operation of moving the first door 21 downward, The first door 21 moves from the first open position to the first closed position.

The second support portion 32 moves the second door 22 from the second closed position to the second open position only by operating the second door 22 to approach the first door 21, and moves the second door 22 to the first position. The second door 22 is moved from the second open position to the second closed position only by the operation in the direction of separating from the door 21.例文帳に追加That is, in this example, only by the operation of moving the second door 22 downward, the second door 22 moves from the second closed position to the second open position, and only by the operation of moving the second door 22 upward, The second door 22 moves from the second open position to the second closed position.

The first door 21 has a first side end surface 21b that faces the second door 22 in the second closed position when in the first closed position. In this example, the first side end face 21b is the upper end face of the first door 21 in other words. The first side end face 21b is substantially perpendicular to the front face 21a of the first door 21, for example. “Substantially orthogonal” means, for example, that the angle between the front surface 21a and the first side end surface 21b is 88° or more and 92° or less.

For example, an inclined or curved chamfered portion may be provided between the front surface 21a and the first side end surface 21b. In addition, as long as the gap between the front surface 21a and the front surface 22a is small, the first side end surface 21b is not limited to a plane substantially orthogonal to the front surface 21a, and may be, for example, a curved surface. good too.

The second door 22 has a second side end face 22b facing the first side end face 21b of the first door 21 in the first closed position in the second closed position. In this example, the second side end face 22b is the lower end face of the second door 22 in other words. The second side end face 22b is substantially orthogonal to the front face 22a of the second door 22, for example. Hereinafter, since the second side end face 22b is the same as the first side end face 21b, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The first support portion 31 supports the end portion of the first door 21 opposite to the first side end face 21b. The 1st support part 31 supports the lower end part of the 1st door 21, for example. The second support portion 32 supports the end portion of the second door 22 opposite to the second side end face 22b. The 2nd support part 32 supports the upper end part of the 2nd door 22, for example.

For example, the first support portion 31 supports the first door 21 so as to be slidable, and rotates the first door 21 about the front-rear direction and the direction orthogonal to the direction of sliding movement of the first door 21. Support possible. That is, in this example, the first support portion 31 supports the first door 21 so as to be rotatable about the left-right direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction and the up-down direction. Similarly, the second support portion 32 supports the second door 22 so as to be slidable, and supports the second door 22 so as to be rotatable about the left-right direction. As a result, in the opening/closing mechanism 16, as shown in FIGS. 2(b) to 2(d), the first door 21 can be tilted by rotating the lower end of the first door 21 as an axis. , the second door 22 can be tilted by rotating the upper end of the second door 22 as an axis.

The interlocking mechanism 34 interlocks with the movement of the first door 21 from the first closed position to the first open position, as shown in FIG. Move the door 22. Thereby, the interference between the first door 21 and the second door 22 caused by the movement of the first door 21 can be suppressed.

Further, the interlocking mechanism 34 interlocks with the movement of the second door 22 from the second closed position to the second open position, and moves the first door 21 so as to avoid interference with the second door 22 . Thereby, the interference between the first door 21 and the second door 22 accompanying the movement of the second door 22 can also be suppressed. The operation of moving the first door 21 in conjunction with the second door 22 is substantially the same as the operation of moving the second door 22 in conjunction with the first door 21 . Therefore, below, the case where the 1st door 21 is moved is demonstrated to an example.

As shown in FIG. 2B, the interlocking mechanism 34 moves the first side end surface 21b forward and backward from the second side end surface 22b in accordance with the movement of the first door 21 from the first closed position to the first open position. The first door 21 is tilted so as to be spaced apart from the first door 21, and the second door 22 is moved to tilt the second door 22 so as to separate the second side end face 22b from the first side end face 21b to the opposite side. In other words, the interlocking mechanism 34 moves the first door 21 and the second door 22 to opposite sides in the front-rear direction in accordance with the movement of the first door 21 from the first closed position to the first open position. When moving the first door 21 from the first closed position to the first open position, the interlocking mechanism 34 moves the first door 21 in the front-rear direction, and in the direction opposite to the movement in the front-rear direction of the first door 21 . to move the second door 22 to.

For example, the interlocking mechanism 34 rotates the first door 21 around the first support portion 31 in accordance with the movement of the first door 21 from the first closed position to the first open position, thereby closing the first side. The first door 21 is inclined so that the end surface 21b moves backward. For example, the interlocking mechanism 34 rotates the second door 22 about the second support portion 32 in response to the movement of the first door 21 from the first closed position to the first open position. The second door 22 is inclined so that the second side end face 22b moves forward. In other words, the interlocking mechanism 34 tilts the second door 22 according to the tilt of the first door 21 so that the front surfaces 21a and 22a are substantially parallel. "Substantially parallel" is, for example, a state in which the angle formed by the front surface 21a and the front surface 22a is ±2° or less.

This makes it possible to increase the distance between the first side end surface 21b and the second side end surface 22b while reducing the behavior of the first door 21 and the behavior of the second door 22. Interference with the door 22 can be suppressed more reliably.

Further, when the first door 21 and the second door 22 are inclined as described above, the first door 21 does not need to be moved back and forth, and the inclined first door 21 can be moved upward as it is. The first door 21 can be moved from the first closed position to the first open position only by pressing the button. As described above, the first door 21 is moved from the first closed position to the first open position only by operating the first door 21 toward the second door 22, and the first door 21 moves toward the second door 22. The first door 21 can be moved from the first open position to the first closed position only by an operation in the direction of separating from.

As described above, the interlocking mechanism 34 moves the second door 22 so that the second side end face 22b faces forward, and tilts the second door 22, for example, in response to the upward movement of the first door 21. . When the interlocking mechanism 34 moves the second door 22 in conjunction with the movement of the first door 21, the interlocking mechanism 34 slides the first door 21 in a direction different from the direction of slide movement in which the first door 21 moves from the first closed position to the first open position.

8 to 11 are partial side views schematically showing an enlarged part of the opening/closing mechanism according to the embodiment.
8 to 11 schematically show a state in which the first door 21 has started to move from the first closed position toward the first open position. 8 to 11 correspond to the portions shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, respectively.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, when the first door 21 is moved from the first closed position to the first open position, the first support body 40 moves upward as the first door 21 moves upward. Move up. When the first support body 40 moves upward, the first movable portion 62 moves rearward along the inclination of the contact surface 40a due to the contact between the contact surface 40a and the first movable portion 62. As shown in FIG.

When the first movable portion 62 moves rearward, the first arm portion 44 moves rearward together with the first movable portion 62 due to the engagement between the groove portion 62a and the engaging projection 44a. As a result, the first door 21 can be tilted so that the first door 21 rotates about the rotating shaft 42a of the first hinge portion 42 and the first side end face 21b moves rearward.

Further, when the first movable portion 62 moves rearward, the state in which the groove portion 62a faces the convex portion 60c changes to the state in which the groove portion 62a faces the groove portion 60b. As a result, the engagement protrusion 44a of the first arm portion 44 enters the first slide groove 81a of the first slide rail 81 via the groove portion 60b, and the first door 21 moves upward along the first slide rail 81. It is possible to move to Therefore, in the first support portion 31 and the interlocking mechanism 34, the first door 21 can be moved from the first closed position to the first open position only by operating the first door 21 in the direction of approaching the second door 22. can be done.

Furthermore, when the first movable portion 62 moves rearward, the first cam plate 64 moves upward due to the engagement between the engaging protrusion 62b of the first movable portion 62 and the cam groove 64a of the first cam plate 64. . When the first cam plate 64 rises, the second cam plate 74 also rises via the connecting plate 80 . This makes it possible to move the second door 22 at the same time when the movement of the first door 21 from the first closed position to the first open position is started.

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, when the second cam plate 74 rises, the engagement between the cam groove 74a of the second cam plate 74 and the engaging protrusion 72b of the second movable portion 72 causes the second movable portion to move upward. 72 moves forward.

When the second movable portion 72 moves forward, the engagement between the groove portion 72a of the second movable portion 72 and the engagement projection 54a of the second arm portion 54 causes the second arm portion 54 to move forward together with the second movable portion 72. Moving. As a result, the second door 22 can be tilted so that the second door 22 rotates about the rotation shaft 52a of the second hinge portion 52 and the second side end surface 22b moves forward. That is, the second door 22 can be moved so as to avoid interference with the first door 21 in conjunction with the movement of the first door 21 from the first closed position to the first open position.

Thus, the interlocking mechanism 34 mechanically transmits the operating force for moving the first door 21 from the first closed position to the first open position to the second door 22, thereby moving the second door 22. . When the first door 21 is to be moved from the first open position to the first closed position, the operation force for moving the first door 21 from the first open position to the first closed position is applied mechanically by the procedure opposite to the above. is transmitted to the second door 22, and the second door 22 returns to the second closed position from the moved position (inclined state). With the first support portion 31 and the interlocking mechanism 34, the first door 21 can be moved from the first open position to the first closed position only by an operation in the direction of separating the first door 21 from the second door 22. .

Further, when moving the second door 22 from the second closed position to the second open position, the operation force for moving the second door 22 from the second closed position to the second open position is applied in the same procedure as described above. is mechanically transmitted to the first door 21, and the first door 21 moves.

When moving the second door 22 from the second closed position to the second open position, as the second support body 50 moves downward, the contact surface 50a and the second movable portion 72 contact each other. , the second movable portion 72 moves forward along the inclination of the contact surface 50a. When the second movable portion 72 moves forward, the state in which the groove portion 72a faces the convex portion 70c changes to the state in which the groove portion 72a faces the groove portion 70b. As a result, the engagement protrusion 54a of the second arm portion 54 enters the second slide groove 82a of the second slide rail 82 via the groove portion 70b, and the second door 22 moves downward along the second slide rail 82. It is possible to move to

As described above, according to the opening/closing mechanism 16 of the slide door 14 according to the present embodiment, the first door 21 is interlocked with the movement of the first door 21 from the first closed position to the first open position. Since the interlocking mechanism 34 is provided to move the second door 22 so as to avoid interference, even if the gap GP provided between the first door 21 and the second door 22 when fully closed is reduced, the first door 22 when opened can be moved. Interference between the door 21 and the second door 22 can be suppressed. For example, it is possible to set the gap GP to about 5 mm, thereby suppressing the interference between the first door 21 and the second door 22 and obtaining a high design property in the slide door 14 . Moreover, in the first door 21 and the second door 22, it is not necessary to form the side end surfaces 21b and 22b facing each other when fully closed to be sloped. For example, the side end faces 21b, 22b of the first door 21 and the second door 22 can be made substantially orthogonal to the front faces 21a, 22a. Therefore, it is possible to suppress deterioration in designability when the door is opened.

Further, in the opening/closing mechanism 16, when the interlocking mechanism 34 moves the first door 21 from the first closed position to the first open position, the first door 21 is moved in the front-rear direction, and the front-rear direction of the first door 21 is moved. The second door 22 is moved in the direction opposite to the movement to. This makes it possible to suppress the behavior when moving the second door 22 so as to avoid interference with the first door 21 . For example, when the first door 21 is moved, it is possible to prevent the second door 22 from significantly moving and causing the user to feel uncomfortable. Therefore, the gap GP provided between the first door 21 and the second door 22 when fully closed can be kept smaller, and the design can be further improved. Furthermore, even when the widths (door depths) of the side end faces 21b and 22b of the first door 21 and the second door 22 are set large, interference between the doors can be avoided with a slight movement. The movement of the first door 21 and the second door 22 in the front-rear direction is not limited to tilting the first door 21 and the second door 22, and the front surfaces 21a and 22a are kept substantially vertical. The movement may be performed by sliding the first door 21 and the second door 22 back and forth. However, the direction of movement of the second door 22 may be the same as the direction of sliding movement of the first door 21 . For example, when sliding the first door 21 upward, the second door 22 may be moved upward to suppress interference with the first door 21 .

In addition, in the opening/closing mechanism 16, the first support portion 31 moves the first door 21 from the first closed position to the first open position only by an operation in the direction in which the first door 21 approaches the second door 22, The first door 21 is moved from the first open position to the first closed position only by an operation in the direction of separating the first door 21 from the second door 22.例文帳に追加As a result, for example, the operation of sliding the first door 21 after pulling it forward becomes unnecessary, the opening/closing operation of the first door 21 is simplified, and the usability of the slide door 14 can be improved. However, the first support portion 31 may be configured to slide the first door 21 in the vertical direction after moving the first door 21 in the front-rear direction, for example.

Further, in the opening/closing mechanism 16, the interlocking mechanism 34 separates the first side end face 21b from the second side end face 22b back and forth in accordance with the movement of the first door 21 from the first closed position to the first open position. The first door 21 is tilted to the right, and the second door 22 is moved to tilt the second door 22 so that the second side end surface 22b is separated from the first side end surface 21b. By inclining the first door 21 and the second door 22 in this way, it is possible to make the behavior of the second door 22 smaller, and when the first door 21 and the second door 22 are fully closed, there is a gap between the first door 21 and the second door 22. The provided gap GP can be kept smaller. For example, even when the first door 21 can be opened and closed only by an operation in the direction of approaching or separating from the second door 22, interference between the doors is suppressed only by tilting the first door 21 and the second door 22. can be realized with a simple configuration. In addition, by reducing the behavior of the first door 21 and the second door 22, for example, it is possible to suppress the storage space of the storage shelf 12 from being squeezed by the behavior of the first door 21 and the second door 22. can.

In the opening/closing mechanism 16, the interlocking mechanism 34 moves the second door 22 at the same time when the first door 21 starts to move from the first closed position to the first open position. As a result, the movement of the second door 22 starts at the same time as the opening operation of the first door 21, so that the behavior of the second door 22 can be made smaller, and when the first door 21 and the second door 22 are fully closed, the movement of the second door 22 can be minimized. The gap GP provided between can be kept smaller.

It should be noted that the movement of the second door 22 does not necessarily have to be started at the same time as the movement of the first door 21 is started. For example, the movement of the second door 22 may be started when the first door 21 has moved to a predetermined position.

In addition, in the opening/closing mechanism 16, the interlocking mechanism 34 mechanically transmits to the second door 22 the operating force for moving the first door 21 from the first closed position to the first open position. to move. Thus, the configuration of the interlocking mechanism 34 that moves the second door 22 simultaneously with the start of movement of the first door 21 from the first closed position to the first open position can be realized with a simple configuration.

Note that the mechanism for mechanically transmitting the operating force is not limited to the above, and may have any configuration capable of transmitting the operating force between the first door 21 and the second door 22 . In addition, the interlocking mechanism 34 is not limited to a configuration that mechanically transmits the operation force. A configuration in which the two doors 22 are interlocked may also be used.

In the opening/closing mechanism 16, the interlocking mechanism 34 interlocks with the movement of the second door 22 from the second closed position to the second open position, and moves the first door 21 so as to avoid interference with the second door 22. Let In this manner, both the first door 21 and the second door 22 are made slidable, and the first door 21 is moved in conjunction with the movement of the second door 22, thereby further improving the usability of the slide door 14.例文帳に追加be able to. For example, when the first door 21 and the second door 22 are vertically adjacent to each other and the first door 21 and the second door 22 are slid up and down, the first door 21 and the second door 22 are adjusted to the optimum height according to the height of the user. The first door 21 and the second door 22 can be opened and closed. Further, for example, when the first door 21 and the second door 22 are laterally adjacent to each other and the first door 21 and the second door 22 are slid to the left and right, it is possible to open and close from either the left or the right. Location restrictions can be suppressed.

The first door 21 is moved upward. The first support portion 31 moves the first door 21 forward to a position where interference with the second door 22 is avoided at the start of movement from the first closed position to the first opened position.

At this time, the interlocking mechanism 34 moves the second door 22 upward in accordance with the movement of the first door 21 from the first closed position to the first open position. Thus, interference between the first door 21 and the second door 22 can be suppressed when the first door 21 is moved forward and obliquely upward. Thus, the direction of movement of the second door 22 may be the same as the direction of sliding movement of the first door 21 .
