Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an automatic storage device for hanging storm shutters used in buildings such as houses.

[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention] In general, shutters that move on storm door rails facing left and right are stored in a door pocket in parallel in the front and back direction. The storm door placed in the door pocket is stored by being pushed toward the mirror plate in the front and back direction by the following storm door. However, this method has the problem that it is difficult to store it smoothly and to draw it out to the side of the storm door rail.

Therefore, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 56-71880, there is a system in which the shutters are automatically transported in the front and rear direction using conveyors placed above and below the door pocket and stored in a parallel arrangement. However, since this product is of the sill sliding type (the same applies to the door roller type) in which the shutters run on the lower rail (sill), the shutters stored in the door pockets cannot be received as they are on the lower conveyor. It has become a good method. However, in the case of a hanging storm door, the lower edge of the shutter loosely fits into the lower rail provided on the frame, and the hanging roller installed at the upper edge of the shutter rolls on the rail for opening and closing. However, for a storm door housed in a door pocket, it is necessary to remove the hanging roller from the storm door rail, and for this reason, almost as soon as the storm door enters the door pocket, the supporting effect of the hanging rail is lost, and the shutter slides to the floor side of the storm door. You will move while being supported by the As a result, when trying to put a storm door into a door pocket, the side of the door pocket that is already in the door pocket moves while being supported by the floor, and the side that is about to enter the door pocket moves with support from the hanging rollers, which is extremely irregular. When trying to pull out the shutter from the door pocket, the lower edge of the shutter is in contact with the floor and the upper side is tilted forward and backward. Due to the swinging and unstable condition, there is a problem in that it is difficult to properly align the hanging rollers located above with the shutter rails.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned circumstances with the aim of providing an automatic storage device for hanging storm doors that can eliminate these drawbacks. In an automatic hanging storm door storage device for automatically storing a plurality of hanging storm doors that open and close along a directional storm door rail in a door bag in a front-back parallel position, the automatic storage device includes A storage rail arranged in the front-rear direction, a storage transfer body formed by connecting a plurality of transfer slats that can be moved guided by the storage rail in a series, and a storage transfer body connected to the storage rail. Each of the transfer slats is provided with a drive mechanism for storing the shutter to move the shutter along with the shutter, and each of the transfer slats is arranged in a substantially continuous manner with the rail for the shutter when the transfer slat is located at a position corresponding to the rail for the shutter. The storage suspension rail is characterized in that the suspension roller suspends a movable storage suspension rail.

With this configuration, the present invention enables the shutter to be automatically opened and closed, even though it is a hanger-type hanging storm door.

[Example] Next, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a door pocket installed on the side of the opening of a building, and on the indoor inner surface of the door pocket 1, a drive motor 2 for storing the shutters, which constitutes a drive mechanism for storing the shutters, is installed. . A driven sprocket 4 is interlocked and connected to the storage drive motor 2 via an endless body (endless chain) 3, and the driven sprocket 4 is connected to the storage drive motor 2 as the storage drive motor 2 is driven.
With this rotation, the helical shaft 6, which is rotatably supported by a bracket 5 attached to the top plate 1a side of the door pocket 1, also rotates together. Further, a movable body 7 is fitted onto the helical shaft 6, and the rotation of the helical shaft 6 moves the movable body 7 in the front and back directions.
In other words, it moves in a direction perpendicular to the opening/closing direction of the hanger-type hanging storm door D, which will be described later.

Further, below the bracket 5, a substantially L-shaped storage rail 9 whose indoor side is curved in an arc shape is arranged in the front-rear direction, and a storage transport body 10 movable along this storage rail 9 is provided. is provided. This storage transfer body 10 includes a transfer slat 11
The transfer slats 11 are connected in a series by being interlocked with each other, and storage suspension rails 12 are also swingably suspended from the lower part of each transfer slat 11 by interlocking. and the transfer slat 11 closest to the mirror plate 8.
The ends of the movable body 7 are connected by a connecting plate 13, and as the movable body 7 moves back and forth, the storage transfer body 10 is also guided by the storage rail 9 and moves back and forth.

On the other hand, a bracket 14 is installed on the upper end surface of the shutter D, and a hanging roller 15 is attached to the upper part of the bracket 14. As will be described later, the hanging roller 15 rolls on the storage hanging rail 12 and the storm door rail (not shown) provided in the lintel of the opening in a state in which it is connected in a substantially straight line with both rails. Therefore, shutter D is door pocket 1.
and the opening can be freely opened and closed. In addition, a contact roller is arranged at the lower part of the door pocket 1 on the extension line of the threshold guide 22.
It is designed to prevent the shutters, which have been stored inside the door pockets, from shaking.

On the other hand, 17 is a drive motor for opening and closing the rain door, and a driven sprocket 19a is interlocked and connected to the opening and closing drive motor 17 via an endless body (endless chain) 18.
9a is arranged on the exit side of the door pocket 1. A receiving roller 20 is provided opposite to a coaxial actuating roller 19 that rotates integrally with the driven sprocket 19a, and as will be described later, the actuating roller 19 rotates as the opening/closing drive motor 17 drives forward and backward. The shutter D is sandwiched between an operating roller 19 and a receiving roller 20 from both sides so that it can be opened and closed by forcibly moving it in the left-right direction.

Next, the driving relationship between the storage drive motor 2 and the opening/closing drive motor 17 will be described. 7th, 8th
The figure shows the closing and opening states when there are four shutters, but when closing the shutters,
When you turn on the closing switch (not shown),
As the opening/closing drive motor 17 rotates and the operating roller 19 connected thereto rotates, the shutter D ₁ held between the operating roller 19 and the receiving roller 20 moves in the closing direction. Move left and right.
When the shutter D ₁ comes out of the door pocket 1, the closing switch pad attached to the rear of the shutter D ₁ closes.
P ₁ is the limit switch for closing and stopping the sliding shutter L ₁
Press to stop the opening/closing drive motor 17. After a few seconds according to the timer, the storage drive motor 2 rotates, the movable body 7 moves, the storage transfer body 10 moves accordingly, and the shutter D ₂ moves back and forth toward the indoor side. At this time, the connecting portions 21 formed on the vertical frames of the shutter D are engaged, and the preceding shutter D ₁ and the succeeding shutter D ₂ are connected. When the shutter _D2 reaches a horizontal position where it is exactly in series with the shutter _D1 , the limit switch _L2 for stopping the forward and backward movement of the closing shutter is opened, and the storage drive motor 2 is stopped. After this stop, the opening/closing drive motor 17 resumes rotation, and the shutter _D2 is sent toward the closing side. In this way, the shutters D are successively pulled out from the door pocket 1 and the openings are closed, and the full-close switch pad _P3 attached to the vertical stile of the last shutter _D4 is moved to the full-close stop limit switch _L3. When it hits, all circuits are cut off.
At this time, as shown in FIG. 7C, a part of the shutter _D4 remains held between the operating roller 19 and the receiving roller 20, and in this state it is fully closed.

On the other hand, when opening the shutter D, when the opening switch (not shown) is turned ON, the opening/closing drive motor 17 rotates in the opposite direction to that when closing, and the operating roller 19 connected thereto also rotates in the opposite direction. Then, shutter D ₄
Move it to the door pocket 1 side. Here, since all the shutters D are connected by the connecting portion 21, all the shutters move toward the door pocket at this time. and shutters
D ₄ is stored in the door pocket, and the shutter D ₃ is moved to the operating roller 19.
When it reaches a state where it is sandwiched between the roller and the receiving roller 20,
Opening switch pad P ₄ attached to shutter D ₃
presses the limit switch _L4 for stopping the opening/closing shutter feed, and the opening/closing drive motor 17 stops. At this time, the connecting part 21 of the vertical stile of shutter _D4 hits,
Limit switch L ₅ for starting the front and back movement of the shutter for opening
is closed, the storage drive motor 2 starts to rotate in the opposite direction to that when it is closed, the movable body 7 moves, and in conjunction with this, the storage transfer body 10 moves back and forth, sending the storm door D ₄ toward the mirror plate 8 side. Then, the shutter is moved back and forth by the estimated thickness of the shutter, that is, one transfer slat 11, and when the storage suspension rail 12 of the next transfer slat 11 comes to a position where it connects in a substantially straight line with the shutter rail of the door lintel, it opens. The limit switch _L6 for stopping the forward and backward movement of the storm door is closed, and the storage drive motor 2 is stopped. Next, the opening/closing drive motor 17 is rotated several seconds later by the timer, and the succeeding shutter _D3 is sent into the door pocket. In this way, the shutter D is sequentially stored in the door pocket 1 in a parallel position, but the shutter
When D ₁ is sent into the door pocket, the vertical stile of shutter D ₁ directly hits the limit switch L ₇ for stopping full opening, cutting off all circuits. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8C, a part of the shutter _D1 remains sandwiched between the operating roller 19 and the receiving roller 20, and is fully opened in this state. The storage drive motor 2 and the opening/closing drive motor 17 are connected via the above-mentioned limit switches that respectively detect the forward/backward movement and left/right movement of the shutter D, and alternately move the rain door D back and forth and left/right within the door pocket 1. It is designed to be timed and can be fully automated.

In the embodiment of the present invention constructed as described above, the storage of the storm door D is carried out automatically, although it is of the hanger type as described above. That is, the shutter D has a hanging roller 1
Although the shutter D is a hanger type that opens and closes by rolling the shutter rail (not shown), the shutter D
When it is stored in the door pocket 1, the hanging roller 15 is moved to and stored in the storage hanging rail 12 which has almost the same rail as the storm door rail, and then the next storage hanging rail 12 is driven by the drive motor 2. becomes substantially the same rail as the storm door rail, and by repeating this process, all the storm doors D are sequentially stored in the door pocket 1.

In this way, in the present invention, although it is a hanger type hanging storm door, the shutter D can be automatically stored in the door pocket 1; Similarly to the rain door rail side, the hanging roller 15 moves back and forth while being supported by the storage hanging rail 12, making it irregular like the conventional door bag that only moves inside the door while being supported on the floor. This means that automatic storage into the door pocket 1 can be carried out smoothly and reliably without being forced to move.

Moreover, the storage hanging rail 12 is connected to the storage transport body 1.
Therefore, the storage transfer body 10 having the storage suspension rail 12 is not easily assembled, but the transfer slat is 11 is located at the vertical transfer portion of the storage rail 9, the storage suspension rail 12 hangs down in a folded state relative to the transfer slat 11, and therefore the expected width can be reduced accordingly. The door pocket 1 can be made small in size.

For hanging rain shutters, it is sufficient to have a storage hanging rail that can store the hanging rollers, but in order to prevent the shutter from swinging when moving back and forth, etc., it is necessary to install a storage hanging rail on the bottom side as shown in the second embodiment shown in Fig. 9. It is also possible to provide a back-and-forth transport body 21 for steady rest. In this case, it is preferable that the upper and lower transfer bodies 10 and 21 be connected by a transmission chain 22 so that they can perform synchronous, intermittent lateral movement.

[Operation and Effect] In summary, the present invention is constructed as described above, and although it is a hanger-type hanging storm door, when the shutter is stored in a door pocket, it is possible to The storage suspension rail suspended by the storage transfer body that moves back and forth is in a substantially continuous form with the storm door rail, and the storage suspension rail is stored in the door bag with the suspension roller supported by the storage suspension rail. As a result, the storm door moves back and forth within the door pocket with the hanging roller supported by the storage hanging rail in the same way as on the storm door rail side, and moves only within the conventional door pocket while being supported on the floor. This means that the items are not forced to move irregularly like other objects, and can be automatically stored in the door bag smoothly and reliably.
