Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Technical field This invention relates to a retractable building in which internal facilities are both indoor and outdoor by configuring multiple units in a nested manner. Moreover, it relates to a retractable building that can be easily constructed.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION An example of a conventional retractable building of this type is the one shown in FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a fixed unit, 2 is a driven unit, and 3 is a drive unit, and these plurality of units 1, 2, and 3 are nested. That is, the fixed unit 1 is the smallest, the driven unit 2 is formed in a size that covers this unit 1, and the drive unit 3 is formed in a size that further covers this driven unit 2. The driven unit 2 and the drive unit 3 are movable by wheels 4 rolling on rails 5, and the drive unit 3
has a motor (not shown) that rolls the wheels 4, and the motor is driven and moved in a predetermined direction by operating a fixed switch (not shown). When this drive unit 3 moves, the driven unit 2 moves following this movement. for example,
In the state shown in the figure, each unit 1, 2, and 3 and the internal facilities (tennis court, pool, etc.) are covered by fixed end walls (not shown), making it an indoor type. When it is moved to the left, the driven unit 2 follows and moves to the left, so that the driven unit 2 and drive unit 3 overlap the fixed unit 1, and the internal facility is opened to be an outdoor type.

However, in such conventional retractable buildings, the fixed switch was disposed at the end of the fixed unit 1 or at position A of the drive unit 3, which caused the following problems when the unit was moved. Ta. In other words, when operating with the fixed switch provided at the end of the fixed unit 1, when moving the driven and drive units 2 and 3 from an outdoor type internal facility to an indoor type, the drive unit 3 is operated. Since visibility of the front is insufficient, it is necessary to place a forward visual inspection person in addition to the switch operator to confirm safety before moving both units 2 and 3, which requires a large number of people to open and close the switch. There is a problem that it is necessary. On the other hand, when operating the fixed switch provided at position A of the drive unit 3, the switch operator must operate the switch at the front end of the drive unit 3 (the right end in the figure) and near the drive unit 3. Therefore, part B on the rear side of the drive unit 3 and part C on the rear side of the driven unit 2 cannot be seen sufficiently, and the driven and drive units 2 and 3 cannot be seen clearly.
It was difficult to say that safety was ensured when the internal facility was moved to the left in the diagram and the internal facility was converted to an outdoor type. In this case as well, it was necessary to have a special observer assigned to check safety. Therefore, attempts were made to reduce the number of personnel and ensure safety by installing an obstacle detection device using phototubes, etc., so that the drive unit 3 etc. would automatically stop if there was an obstacle in the direction of travel. . However, the detection of such devices is limited to detection in a narrow range and cannot detect the whole area, and it is difficult to say that it is completely safe in terms of safety.
Providing such a device poses a problem in that it also increases the cost of the retractable building.

Purpose of the invention This invention was made by paying attention to these conventional problems, and aims to provide a retractable building that ensures safety when moving units and reduces the number of personnel.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the retractable building of this invention is provided with a remote control switch for moving the drive unit, and a jack into which the switch is inserted is connected to the side wall of the drive unit in the direction of movement of the unit. It is characterized in that it is provided at both ends so that the jack portion on the traveling direction side can be selected depending on the traveling direction of the unit.

Examples This invention will be explained below based on the drawings. In this description, parts or members that are the same as or equivalent to those in the prior art are given the same reference numerals and redundant description will be omitted.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a first embodiment of this invention.

First, to explain the structure, reference numeral 1 is a box-shaped fixed unit, 2 and 3 are gate-shaped driven and driving units, respectively, and these multiple units 1, 2, and 3 are constructed in a nested manner as in the conventional system. There is.

This drive unit 3 includes side wall portions 10 and 11.
The insertion part 1 of the remote control switch 12 is inserted into each of the
A pair of jack portions E ₁ , F ₁ , E ₂ , and F ₂ into which 3 is inserted are provided. This pair of jacks
E ₁ and F ₁ are provided at both ends of the side wall portion 10 in the unit movement direction so as to be separated in the unit movement direction, and the insertion portion 13 can be attached to either end. One jack part E ₂ ,
F ₂ is also provided on the side wall portion 11 in the same manner. Then, each pair of jack parts E ₁ , F ₁ and the jack part
One remote control switch 12 is provided for each of E ₂ and F ₂ . In these remote control switches 12, a cord 15 having an insertion portion 13 at its tip is connected to a switch box 14 having a switch button (not shown), and the insertion portion 13 is connected to a jack portion E ₁ , F ₁ , E ₂ , _F2 , the switch box 14 can be operated at a position separated from the drive unit 3. By the way, the details of the remote control switch 12 and the jack parts E ₁ , F ₁ , E ₂ , F ₂ are as follows. In other words, the insertion part 13 is the jack part.
When inserted into the jacks F ₁ and F ₂ , the drive unit 3 only moves to the left in the figure, and when inserted into the opposite jacks F ₁ and F ₂ , the drive unit 3 moves only to the left in the figure. It is designed to only move to the right. Further, the drive unit 3 moves only when the switch button of the switch box 14 of the remote control switch 12 is pressed.
Both remote control switches 12 provided on both sides of the
The drive unit 3 moves only when the switch button is pressed.

Next, the operation of the retractable building constructed as described above will be explained. First, in order to convert the internal facility into an outdoor type from the state shown in the figure, two operators each hold one remote control switch 12 and insert the jack parts E ₁ and E ₂ into the insertion parts 13. And 2
Each human operator holds the switch box 14 at a position separated from the drive unit 3 and confirms safety. At this time, the operator is spaced apart from the drive unit 3 and is also closer to parts B and C, which could not be seen sufficiently in the past, so that the operator can see more clearly than in the past. After confirming that both parties are safe, switch to Switchbox 1.
4. Press the designated switch button. Then, the wheels 4 of the drive unit 3 roll on the rails 5, and the drive unit 3 moves to the left in the figure.Following this, the driven unit 2 is also moved in the same direction, and the fixed unit 1 is moved upward. Both units 2 and 3 are stacked on top of each other, and the internal facilities are of an outdoor type. When moving both units 2 and 3 to the left in the figure in this way,
If the insertion part 13 is inserted into the jack part _F1 , for example, both units 2 and 3 will not move even if the switch button is pressed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the unit from moving without confirming the safety of parts B and C, which is more effective as a safety measure. In addition, since the drive unit 3 only moves when both operators press the switch buttons, that is, when both sides of the retractable building are confirmed to be safe, one side of the retractable building is free of obstacles and the other If there is an obstacle on the side, the drive unit 3 will not move, so it is safe. Furthermore, since both units 2 and 3 move only when the switch button is pressed,
If an obstacle suddenly appears on the path of movement of the units, releasing the switch button will stop both units 2 and 3, preventing an accident.

On the other hand, in order to change the internal facility from an outdoor type to an indoor type, both operators now insert the insertion portions 13 into the jack portions F ₁ and F ₂ . In this state, both operators can sufficiently check the safety of the right side of the drive unit 3 in the drawing, that is, the direction of movement. After confirming safety, a predetermined switch button on the switch box 14 is pressed to move both units 2 and 3 to the right in the figure, covering the internal facility and making it an indoor type.

With this simple configuration of providing the remote control switch 12 and a plurality of jack parts E ₁ , F ₁ , E ₂ , F ₂ , the direction of movement of the jack parts E ₁ , F ₁ , E ₂ , F ₂ can be adjusted. By inserting the insertion part 13 of the remote control switch 12 into the side switch, opening and closing operations can be performed with at least two operators while ensuring safety, reducing the number of personnel required compared to conventional methods. becomes.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of this invention.

In the retractable building of this embodiment, the lower building 18 is provided, so that the driven and driving units 19,
20 is formed to have an L-shaped cross section, and wheels 4 provided at the ends of roof portions 21 and 22 of both units 19 and 20 roll on the lower roof 18. Therefore, in both units 19 and 20,
Unlike the first embodiment, side wall portions 23 and 24 are provided only on one side. The side wall portion 24 of this drive unit 20 is provided with jack portions E ₁ and F ₁ similarly to the side wall portion 10 of the first embodiment. In addition, the reference numeral 25 in the figure is a fixed unit, and the reference numeral 26 is a fixed end wall.

Safety checks for such retractable buildings are carried out at Shimoya 18.
is provided, so it is only necessary to perform the process on the opposite side, that is, on the side wall portions 23 and 24 of both units 19 and 20. Therefore, one operator can insert the insertion part 13 into the jack part E ₁ or F ₁ on the traveling direction side, after making sufficient safety checks,
This allows the unit to be moved easily.

The other configurations and operations are the same as those in the first embodiment, so their explanations will be omitted.

The retractable building of this invention may or may not have the driven units 2, 19 as in the above embodiments.
