Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an exterior panel mounting device for attaching a box-shaped exterior panel having a rising edge to a base member attached to an exterior wall of a building.

[Conventional technology]

In the past, there was no particular equipment for mounting exterior panels, and in general, horizontal base members and vertical base members were stretched around the exterior wall of a building to create a lattice-like frame, and the exterior panels were applied to the frame, and the corner parts were fixed. is fastened with screws.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

The conventional installation method seems easy, but in actual installation it is generally difficult to install because it requires positioning the exterior panel and securing its position while securing it with screws. spend. Furthermore, since the exterior panel is generally formed of a thin metal plate, the strength of the corner portions is significantly impaired by attachment.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an exterior panel mounting device that solves the above-mentioned problems.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a mounting device for attaching a box-shaped exterior panel having a rising edge to a base member attached to a building structure, which mainly includes a block body to be attached within the upper corner of the exterior panel. , a corner block with a rising piece extending from the main body along the rising edge; a locking clip having one end attached to the lower part of the exterior panel and the other engaging the rising edge of the lower exterior panel; It is characterized by comprising a fixing means for fixing the piece together with the base member.

[Effect]

First, in preparation for installation, a corner block is attached to the upper corner of the exterior panel using adhesive or other means, and a locking clip is attached to the lower part using pot rivets or other means. When preparations are complete, place the exterior panel on top of the lower exterior panel so that the locking lip locks onto the rising edge of the lower exterior panel, adjust the left and right positions so that they align with the joints, and then tighten the fixing means such as screws. The raised edge is fixed to the base member together with the raised piece of the corner block. Repeat this step to construct the outer wall of the building.

According to the present invention, there is no need to attach the lower part of the exterior panel to the base member, so construction can be carried out easily and quickly.

Furthermore, the corners of the exterior panel are reinforced by corner blocks, increasing rigidity.

〔Example〕

Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In recent buildings, there is a trend to use exterior panels made of metal plates on the exterior walls of buildings to reduce the weight of the buildings. FIG. 5 shows a part of the building, and the outer wall of the building is constructed of exterior panels 3, . . . except for the windows 1 and doorway 2 openings.

As shown in Fig. 1, the exterior panel 3 is generally not directly attached to the building structure _Fs , but is attached to the base member 4 using a bracket B.
After being attached to F _s , it is attached to the base member 4 thereof. In the embodiment, the exterior panel is attached to the vertical base member 4.

First, for convenience of explanation, the vertical base member 4 will be described in detail. The vertical base member 4 is formed by extruding metal such as aluminum, and has an H-shaped cross section. This vertical base member 4 also serves as a rain gutter, has an open end directed toward the outside of the building structure _Fs , and is formed by bending a portion that will become the mounting receiving portion 4a of the exterior panel 3.

Exterior panel 3 attached to the vertical base member 4
A metal plate made of aluminum or the like is bent or formed into a box shape with a shallow bottom, and a rising edge 3a is provided on the upper side.
Both ends of the rising edge 3a are fixed to the vertical base member 4, and after installation, the center, excluding both ends, engages with the lower part of the upper exterior panel 3, and has the role of supporting it so that it does not protrude outward. The left and right sides 3b, 3b are formed longer than the other sides in consideration of rain protection, and are configured to fit into the H-shape of the vertical base member 4 during installation. The lower side 3c overlaps the rising edge 3a of the lower exterior panel 3, so it is formed short.

If the exterior panel 3 is attached directly to the vertical base portion 4, the corners will be weak and the attachment will be inconvenient and time consuming, so corner blocks 5 and locking clips 6 as shown in FIG. 1 are attached in advance.

The corner block 5 is installed in the upper corner of the exterior panel 3, and as shown in FIG. 3a, and a rising piece 5b. The rising piece 5b is attached to the vertical base member 4 together with the rising edge 3a of the exterior panel 3, but in the embodiment, screws 7 are used as the fixing means, so a screw hole 5c is provided in the rising piece 5b. . The corner block body 5 is attached using adhesive, which is applied to the outer surface of the block body 5a and then attached to the upper corner of the exterior panel 3 so that the rising piece 5b is along the rising edge 3a.

The locking clip 6 is used to lock the lower part of the exterior panel 3 to the rising edge 3a of the lower exterior panel 3 without attaching it to the vertical base member 4. In the example shown in FIG. In order to facilitate directional positioning, it is attached to the bottom surface of the lower side 3c, which is the lower part of the exterior panel 3. The locking clip 6 has a concave portion 6 placed on the upper side of the lower exterior panel.
a, and a locking part 6b that rises between the lower side 3c of the panel 3 and the rising edge 3a of the lower exterior panel 3 and is bent so that its tip is locked to the upper part of the lower rising edge 3a. has been done. Although the locking portion 6b is formed loosely in the vertical direction in the illustrated example, positioning in the vertical direction is also possible if the relationship with the rising edge 3a is made tight. The locking clip 6 is used because the exterior panel 3 is generally subjected to wind pressure.
It is desirable to use a strong material such as metal such as aluminum to withstand the wind pressure. In the illustrated example, a pot rivet 8, which is a simple means, is used to attach the locking clip 6. The attachment means is not limited to the above example, and screws or rivets may be used, or an insertion method may be used in which the concave portion 6a is modified to engage with the lower side 3c. Alternatively, it may be fixed using an adhesive.

When attaching the exterior panel 3 to the vertical base member 4 using the above mounting device, first, as a preparation step, attach the body 5 of the corner block 5 to the upper corner of the exterior panel 3.
Attach panel a using adhesive, then attach exterior panel 3
The locking clip 6 is fixed to the bottom surface of the holder using a potply bet 8. This installation preparation may be done in the factory or on the building site. The lowermost exterior panel 3 has no lower exterior panel, so it is easy to install, and in order to be able to install it by repeating the same method, for example, a horizontal base member shaped like the upper side of the exterior panel is pre-assembled into a vertical base member. It is recommended that it be installed at 4. The exterior panel 3 is attached as follows. First, the left and right sides 3b, 3b are connected to the left and right vertical base members 4, so that the locking portion 6b of the locking clip 6 attached to the lowermost exterior panel 3 engages with the rising edge of the horizontal base member. The exterior panel is lowered so that it fits into the H-shape of No. 4, and the concave portion 6a is placed on the horizontal base member.
Next, after positioning the exterior panel 3 in the left-right direction, the upper part is pressed against the vertical base member 4 and the rising edge 3a
are attached to the left and right vertical foundation members 4 together with the rising pieces 5b of the corner block 5 using screws 7 as fixing means. By repeating this process, the upper exterior panels 3 are sequentially attached while aligning the joints with the lower exterior panels 3, and the exterior wall of the building as shown in FIG. 5 is constructed.

When the exterior wall of a building is constructed, the upper and lower exterior panels 3,
3, and between the left and right exterior panels 3, 3, equal pressure spaces 9, 9 are formed, respectively. These equal-pressure spaces 9, 9 eliminate the pressure difference between the inside and outside, thereby preventing rainwater from entering due to the pressure difference. Furthermore, since the side sides 3c of the exterior panel 3 are deep inside the H-shape of the vertical base member 4, rainwater is prevented from being caught in, and rainwater that hits the lip of the vertical base member 4 flows down the ribs as it is.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the present invention, construction is simplified because only the upper part of the exterior panel needs to be screwed. Furthermore, since the panel is screwed together with the corner block, the strength of the mounting portion is improved. The corner block 7 not only increases the rigidity of the corner portion of the panel, but also can close the gap created at the corner portion when bending a plate.
