Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a lower connection structure for panels, and more specifically, a connection structure that can easily connect panels at the bottom and also contribute to the standardization of panels. Regarding.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when connecting the end surfaces of flat panels by abutting them, the lower connection is made using a connector a which also serves as an adjuster star as shown in FIG. While fixing tool a by fastening b, the other panel is connected by using an opening made in the lower end side and dropping the hole into a locking protrusion c provided upright in connecting tool a. A common configuration is as follows.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the case of this lower connection structure, as a flat panel, on one side of the lower end, the connector a which also serves as an adjuster is fastened and fixed, and on the other side of the lower end, there is a locking protrusion c provided on the connector. Since a panel with holes drilled in it is used, the orientation of the panel must be taken into account when connecting the panel in series to the floor or at right angles with the end faces facing each other. Not only is it troublesome to have to arrange the
It is not suitable for standardizing panels, and it is also impossible to temporarily install the panels indoors and check the actual arrangement of the panels before installing.

For this reason, if a connector a with a hole is used instead of the locking convex part c, and the panels are fastened and fixed across the lower ends of the panels, which are arranged with their end faces facing each other, Although this makes it possible to standardize the panels, there is a problem in that it is necessary to lay the panels sideways and perform the tightening work when connecting them.

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and the purpose is to standardize panels and to enable them to be connected even when the panels are temporarily installed. .

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve such an object, the present invention has a flat panel 7 fixed to both sides of the lower end with the periphery of the shaft portion 6' of the adjuster star 6 open, and when the end surfaces of the panel 7 are brought together, they face each other. The shaft portions 6' of the adjuster star 6, which are arranged opposite to each other, are divided into two and have outer covering portions 2 on both ends, and the outer covering portions 2 at both ends are integrally connected by a connecting portion 3. When the panels 7 are connected with their end faces facing each other, the shaft portions 6' of the adjuster stars 6, which are arranged facing each other, are connected to each other by connecting the two connectors 1. It is an object of the present invention to provide a lower connection structure for a panel 7 in which the panel 7 is covered with a two-part outer covering part 2 and the connecting parts 3 are fastened to each other with the shaft part 6' being sandwiched.

[Effect]

After the fixed flat panel with the periphery of the shaft part of the adjuster star opened on both sides of the lower end is set in an upright state and temporarily installed in a predetermined position, it is connected to each other using the two connectors having the above structure. When the end faces of the panels are brought together, the shaft parts of the adjuster stars that are arranged facing each other are covered with a half-shaped outer covering part by each of the connectors, and the said shaft part is It is held in place and tightened with a port nut. When connecting panels, a channel member with many holes for locking the brackets may be interposed between the end faces of the panels. In this case, the length of the channel member should be considered and the connector should be slightly longer. Set it. In this way, since a panel is used that is fixed to both sides of the lower end with the area around the shaft of the adjuster star open,
This is effective in standardizing the panels, and there is no need to consider the orientation of the panels when arranging them. In addition, since standardized panels are used as described above, panels can be installed without considering the height relationship of adjacent panels, and there is no need for fine adjustments. . In addition, when installing the lower connection structure of this panel, first temporarily install the panel in a predetermined position indoors, etc., and then connect the shafts of the adjusters to the two connection parts as described above. Simply tighten the bolts and nuts to complete the panel connection work.

For the upper part, as in the conventional case, for example, a plate-shaped connector is used, and the connector is fastened and fixed across the upper ends of adjacent panels to connect them.

Further, when connecting the panels at right angles, it is sufficient to use a connecting tool in which the connecting portion is straight, or a connecting tool in which the connecting portion is appropriately bent at a substantially right angle.

[Effect of idea]

In the panel lower connection structure of the present invention made as described above, the panel is placed in a predetermined position,
All you have to do is stand it upright with the adjuster side facing down, and then tighten the shafts of the adjacent adjuster stars using two connectors to complete the partition, and adjust the height relationship of the adjacent panels. This means that there is no need to lift a fairly heavy panel and place it on a base in an unstable situation, and the tightening of the connectors can only be done from the side. It has a remarkable effect.

In addition, since a panel is used that is fixed with the periphery of the shaft portion of the adjuster star open on both sides of the lower end, it is effective in standardizing the panel, and there is no need to consider the orientation of the panel when arranging it.

Furthermore, since standardized panels are used as described above, panels can be installed without considering the height relationship of adjacent panels, and there is no need for fine adjustment. .

When installing the lower connection structure of this panel,
After temporarily installing the panels in a predetermined position indoors, etc., all you have to do is connect the adjuster shafts to each other using bolts and nuts at the two connecting parts as described above. ends. Because of this configuration, when the end surfaces of the panels are brought together, the shafts of the adjuster stars facing each other are directly fastened by the connectors, and the thickness direction of the adjacent panels is tightened. It can better resist the deflection that occurs, and there is less horizontal shaking of the panel.

Moreover, since this connection is made by tightening bolts and nuts from the side of the panel, the work efficiency is extremely high and it becomes easy. In addition, since such a connector can be removed by working from the side of the panel, it has the remarkable effect that it can be easily relocated at a later date.
