Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a folding partition device in which even-numbered panels are hingedly hinged so that they can be opened and closed by being suspended from upper rails.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a two-door door in which a hinged door is connected to a hinged door is suspended on an upper rail. Just before opening the two doors that are closed, the door is slightly rotated by a motor and folded. Just before closing the rare two-door door, the sliding door is moved slightly by a motor.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 With the two-door opening / closing device described in the prior art, when the sliding door and the opening door extend in a straight line and are closed, the sliding door is moved slightly after rotating the opening door, so it can be folded smoothly. it can. In addition, just before the sliding door and the opening door fully extend, the opening door is rotated, so that both doors extend linearly and are completely closed. However, when a large number of panels are connected as in the present invention, the panel does not move smoothly and does not extend straight. Therefore, the present invention intends to provide a folding partitioning device in which a large number of panels are foldably connected and each panel can move smoothly, and folding and extension can be performed accurately. To do.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the folding partitioning device of the present invention has an even number of panels pivotally attached so that it can be folded, and a movable column is interposed between every two piles. The movable column is also pivotally attached to the front edge of the frontmost panel, and the two panels that are directly pivoted to each other except the frontmost and the next panel are A magnet is attached to the opposite surface, a runner provided at the upper end of the movable column is engaged with the upper rail, and the linear drive device that linearly moves the movable column at the front end and the rearmost panel are centered around the base end. And a rotation drive device for rotating.

A guide bearing is provided on the upper ends of the odd-numbered panels except the frontmost panel, and the guide rails for engaging the guide bearings are parallel to each other along the upper rail at the front end portion. And, in the middle, it is preferable to be provided so as to be gradually inclined away from the upper rail.

Further, in order to linearly move the movable column at the front end, a belt wound around a pair of pulleys and moving in parallel with the upper rail is connected to the movable column at the front end, and the pulley is rotated by a reversible motor. To be driven.

[0007]

[Action]

 In the folding partition device according to the present invention, when the extended panel is folded, the rotary driving device is first operated to slightly rotate the rearmost panel, and the rearmost panel and the panel next to it are located on the upper rail. Incline to the length direction. Next, when the mobile drive device is activated, it is more and more tilted and folded. The other panels start to fold in the middle of the movement due to the guide bearings engaging the guide rails.

When unfolding the folded panel, the movement drive is first activated. The movable drive moves the movable column at the forefront, and the panel at the forefront and the panel next to it gradually open apart from each other. However, the other panels are paired in pairs and cannot be opened by the attraction of the corresponding magnets. The guide bearing comes into engagement with the guide rail as the frontmost panel tilts as it advances. The panel where the guide bearing is parallel to the upper rail extends straight and pulls the subsequent panel. The drawn panel moves away from the facing panel against the magnetic force, and extends linearly when the guide bearing comes to the part parallel to the upper rail of the guide rail. After that, the above-mentioned operations are performed one after another, and all the panels are extended in a straight line.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. For the even number of panels that make up the partitions, the odd numbered panels, counting from the front edge, are labeled 1, the even numbered panels are labeled 2, and the rearmost panel is labeled 3. A unit 5 in which two panels 1 and 2 are pivotally attached to one side edge by a hinge 4 is pivotally attached and connected in sequence by a hinge 7 with a movable column 6 interposed therebetween, and the unit 5 at the front end is connected. A movable column 6 is also pivotally attached to the front edge of the panel 1 by a hinge 8. The panel 3 at the rearmost end has a width of the movable column 6 which is larger than those of the other panels 1 and 2 by the thickness and the width thereof. The lower portion of the base portion corresponding to the movable column 6 is cut out, and the lower motor unit 10 is located in the cutout portion 9 so that the panel 3 can be rotated around the base portion. A runner 11 is attached to the upper end of each movable pillar 6, and the runner 11 engages with the inside of the upper rail 12 to suspend the movable pillar 6 and the panels 1, 2, and 3. Except for the unit 5 at the front end, in other units 5, the magnets 13 are attached to the facing panels 1 and 2 in a corresponding manner, and when folded, both panels 1 and 2 are strongly polymerized. It is like this. Next, the panel 14 of the unit 5 has an arm 14 projecting from the substantially center of the upper end thereof, and a guide bearing 15 is attached to the arm 14. A guide rail 19 is provided in which the front half portion 16 is parallel to the upper rail 12, the middle portion 17 is inclined so as to be away from the upper rail 12, and the rear half portion 18 is away from the upper rail 12 and is parallel. The guide bearing 15 is engaged with and guided by the guide rail 19 when the folded panel 1 is extended. Further, a belt 22 wound between a drive pulley 20 provided near the rear end of the upper rail 12 and a driven pulley 21 provided near the front end is tensioned in parallel with the upper rail 12 and moves at the foremost end. It is connected and attached to the pillar 6 via a belt connecting metal fitting 23, and when the drive pulley 20 is normally or reversely rotated by the power from the upper motor unit 24, the movable pillar 6 at the front end is moved forward or backward. It has become.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 The panel is hinged through a movable column, and a runner is provided at the upper end of the movable column, and the frontmost movable column is moved forward or backward, and the rearmost panel is rotated around the proximal end. As a result, the panel can be smoothly moved. Also, when two panels face each other, the magnets work, and the guide bearing engages with the guide rails to restrict the movement of the panels, so not only the operation in the middle but also the fully open and fully closed states. Is excellent.
