Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a connection structure for wall panels forming a side wall of a unit room such as a unit bath, and more particularly to a connection structure for a corner portion.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 For unit rooms such as unit baths, standardized wall panels for side walls, floor panels (floor pans), ceiling panels, etc. are produced in advance at the factory, and these are easily assembled on-site through connecting members. It can be formed into. Then, as a connection structure that allows the wall panels to be easily connected to each other, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a frame 102 is provided opposite to the back surface of the wall panel 101, and the frame 102 is connected so as to embrace the frame 102. A structure in which a metal object 103 is provided and a wedge 104 is driven between the front surface of the wall panel 101 and the frame 102 (see Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-155107), or one wall panel 201 as shown in FIG. The fixing member 204 of the hook-type clamp 203 is fixed to the frame 202 provided along the back surface of the frame with the screw 205, and the frame 202 of the other wall panel 201 is provided adjacent to the fixing member 204 of the clamp 203. A connection structure has already been proposed, such as the structure that is attached to the member 206 (see Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 11914/1990).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the above connection structure has the following problems. That is, in the structure of FIG. 4, since the wedge 104 is driven between the wall panels 101, it cannot be applied to the entry corner structure or the exit corner structure, and the wedge 104 is inserted from the front surface. However, there is a problem in that the space between the wall panels 101 is too wide and the appearance is not good when viewed from the inside.

On the other hand, in the structure shown in FIG. 5, for example, even if only one wall panel 201 is to be removed in order to pass a pipe or the like through a space on the back surface side of the panel, the fixing member 204 may be removed. Since the screw 205 fixed to 202 cannot be unfastened from the indoor side, it may be said that it is necessary to remove even the adjacent wall panel 201, and the workability is poor, and the spring force of the movable member 206 causes it to move. Since the frame 202 of one wall panel 201 is fixed, there is a problem in the fixing force of the wall panel 201. Moreover, in this structure, when the frame 202 is fitted to the movable member 206, a large load is applied to the clamp 203, and the clamp 203 may be deformed and a desired connection state may not be obtained.

In view of such circumstances, the present invention is firmly assembled only from the inside of the room, is easy to remove, can reduce the gap of the connecting portion, and can be installed in a desired position. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wall panel connection structure capable of accurately forming a corner portion having a refraction angle.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve such an object, the wall panel connecting structure of the unit room according to the present invention has a corner wall panel having a corner portion bent at a desired angle of refraction and another wall panel whose end surfaces are substantially the same. The panels are arranged in close contact with each other, and these panels are connected to each other from the inside of the room through the connecting means that is detachable over the upper part of the panel.

In the above structure, the corner portion may be the inside corner or the outside corner. The connecting means is not particularly limited as long as it can be attached and detached over the upper part of the panel. If necessary, the joint surface between the corner wall panel and another wall panel may be filled with a silicone caulking material or the like for sealing.

[0008]

[Action]

 According to the above configuration, first, the corner wall panel is arranged so that its corner portion is located at a desired position, and the other wall panel is arranged so that its end face is substantially in close contact with the end face of the corner wall panel. Then, by inserting a connecting means from the front side of the panel into the space between the panel and the wall surface inside the building, that is, from the inside of the panel over the upper part of the panel, the adjacent panels are connected to form a corner with the desired bending angle. The part can be formed in the unit room.

On the other hand, when it is necessary to pass piping between the wall panel and the inner wall surface of the building, and the side wall panel has to be removed once, the ceiling panel or the like is removed to remove it. After making the upper part of the panel open, you can insert a hand or a tool from the upper part of the panel to release the connection by the connecting means.
