Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION << Industrial Application Field >> The present invention relates to a retractable roof for use in an all-weather building suitable for sports fields, baseball fields, and the like.

<< Prior Art >> In general, each of the conventional openable and closable roofs has a laminated structure in which the roofs are stacked in several stages, and these are slidably slid or run to open and close the top of the building.

For example, by attaching traveling wheels to the beam that supports the roof and running the roof member on the beam, or by configuring the beam to be extendable and retractable, and moving the roof member that opens and closes as the beam turns to a fixed roof, etc. Met.

These were designed so that when the movable roof was opened, the areas of the openings were widened by overlapping each other. Similarly, in order to widen the area of the opening, it is also considered that the retractable roof has a folding structure.

Further, in order to reduce the moving power capacity, it is opened and closed in the horizontal direction.

<< Problems to be Solved by the Invention >> When a beam is left in the opening in order to stably support the movable roof that constitutes the opening-closing type in a freely openable and closable manner, there is a drawback that the opening does not have a feeling of opening.

Also, the structure of the roof becomes complicated with the folding roof,
Furthermore, there is a problem in the material and durability of the roof membrane.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is that when a roof is opened, the beam does not remain in the opening, it has an excellent open feeling, and the structure is simple, and the opening / closing movement power capacity is minimized. It aims to provide a retractable roof with a quick opening and closing action.

<< Means for Solving the Problems >> In order to achieve the above object, the retractable roof of the present invention constitutes a crescent-shaped fixed roof in which a part of a dome is formed at one end of an outer wall having a substantially circular plane. , A triangular rotating roof that is divided into left and right along a diameter line segment that passes through the center point of the outer wall at the other end and the center of the outer peripheral edge of the other end, and bears one dome dome to cover a part of the central region. And a region from the outer peripheral side of each rotating roof to the outer wall, and the outer edge of the rotating roof is along the circumference of the outer wall, and the rotating roof is rotatably overlapped at the end opposite to the fixed roof side. A movable roof that supports and swivels toward the fixed roof, a vertical parallel rail that extends on the fixed roof in parallel with the central line segment that divides the rotating roof into left and right, and elastic means that can change the spring constant. For supporting a moving roof by traveling on a moving guide rail that has an outer wall and is laid in the circumferential direction of the outer wall A fan-shaped openable roof composed of a supporting carriage such as a carriage was constructed, and the vehicle height of a power carriage supporting the moving roof could be adjusted up and down.

<Operation> When the moving roof moves along the guide rails on the outer wall,
The swivel roof is integrated with the part where the superimposed roof is pivotally supported on the moving roof, and the swivel roof moves in the direction of the fixed roof integrally with the moving roof while making a pivotal movement toward the outer peripheral side with this pivot point as the turning point. While
The rotating roof and the moving roof move from one end of the outer wall to a position overlapping on the fixed roof in the direction of the other end. As a result, a wide opening is formed in a part of the top surface surrounded by the outer wall.

When closing the opening, the movable roof returns to its original position, and at the same time, the swing roof moves in the original direction, and both the swing roof and the movable roof close the opening of the building. .

During these opening and closing movements, the power load required to move the roof is a mechanical friction due to the balance between the load received by one power carriage and the load received by another power carriage due to the height adjustment of the power carriage. Receive a significant reduction in loss.

Further, by changing the spring constant of the elastic means of each supporting carriage, the load acting on each supporting carriage can be adjusted.

«Examples» Hereinafter, preferred examples of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a dome roof 1 having a hemispherical shape. The dome roof 1 has a fixed roof 3 that forms a part of the dome on an outer wall 2 that is erected in a plane circular shape, and an openable and closable roof that also forms a dome. The rotating roof 4 and the movable roof 5 are supported.

That is, the fixed roof 3 is formed in a crescent shape curved into a surface convex curved surface that covers one end of the top space of the outer wall 2, and the outer peripheral edge portion forming the crescent shape matches the radius of curvature of the outer wall 2. ing. The remaining top space is covered with a rotating roof 4 and a moving roof 5.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the vicinity of the position corresponding to the upper edge of the outer wall 2 by passing through the center point on the outer peripheral side of the fixed roof 3 through the center point on the inner peripheral side and linearly advancing through the portion not covered by the fixed roof 3. The left and right sides of the opening are the turning points of the turning roof 4, and a moving roof 5 provided with a turning shaft 6 at a position corresponding to the turning point covers the outer side of the opening portion, and the inner side is based on the turning axis 6. The ends are covered with a pivoting roof 4 which is pivotally attached.

That is, the movable roof 5 and the swing roof 4 are arranged substantially adjacent to each other with a level difference that allows the swing roof 4 to overlap the movable roof 5, and the tip edge on the side opposite to the swing axis is a fixed roof. It is a convex curved surface that draws an arc along the inner peripheral edge of 3, and is located on the left and right of a line segment passing through the center of the opening.

The movable roof 5 is located outside the rotating roof 4 and covers the outside of the opening.

Both the rotating roof 4 and the moving roof 5 have a convex curved surface shape in the surface direction, and together with the fixed roof 3, the dome roof 1 is formed on the top surface of the outer wall 2.

These rotating roof 4 and movable roof 5 are supported by traveling wheels so as to be freely movable on a guide track, and the side surfaces thereof are shown in FIG.

A moving guide rail 7 is laid on the upper surface of the outer wall 2, and a moving guide rail 8 is laid near the inner surface of the fixed roof 3 as well. The moving roof 5 is supported by a power carriage 9 and an intermediate carriage 10. Are supported on rails 7 and 8 so that they can run freely.

Further, the rotating roof 4 is parallel to the left and right of a straight line that bisects the center of the dome roof 1, and the surface of the fixed roof 3 has the dome roof 1
Parallel rails 11 extending in the outer radial direction of the vehicle, and a rotation guide rail 12 laid along the edge of the movable roof 5 on the fixed roof 3 side.
I support it with.

As for the opening and closing action of the roof, as is clear from FIG. 1, when the dome roof 1 is opened from the closed state as shown in the drawing, while the rotating roof 4 is rotated outward about the rotating shaft 6,
At the same time, the moving roof 5 swivels toward the fixed roof 3 along the guide direction of the moving guide rails 7 on the outer wall 2, that is, along the outer circumference of the dome roof 1.

In this way, both the rotating roof 4 and the moving roof 5 move to the fixed roof 3 side.

When the dome roof 1 is closed, the rotary roof 4 and the movable roof 5 are returned to the closed position before opening in the completely reverse order.

In the embodiment, such opening / closing motion is entrusted to the traction force of the power carriage 9 as far as the movable roof 5 is concerned.

When the power carriage 9 travels on the movement guide rail 7 in cooperation with the intermediate carriage 10, the movable roof 5 is driven in the circumferential direction of the outer wall 2.

The power vehicle 9 has a structure as shown in FIG.
Coil spring 15 between the two frames, 13 and the lower frame 14.
Further, a shock absorber 16 is provided, and the upper frame 13 and the lower frame 14 are connected to each other by a cylindrical upper and lower frame coupling column 17 so that the distance can be adjusted.

On the upper surface of the upper frame 13, a mounting base 18 for mounting and fixing the movable roof 5 is provided.

Also, on the back of the lower frame 14, an equalizer plate 19
Is installed vertically and the equalizer shaft 20 is attached to the equalizer shaft 20.
Equipped with 20 equalizer triaxial carriage 21 is pivotally attached.

The equalizer triaxial carriage 21 pivotally attaches the top of a trapezoidal plate to the equalizer plate 19 with an equalizer shaft 20, and also has a wheel attached to one end of the bottom side, and another equalizer shaft 20a at the other end. Separately from the plate 19, an equalizer plate having wheels at both ends of a rectangular shape
Twenty-two are pivotally attached.

As a result, the swinging action caused by the moving roof 5 or the moving guide rail 7 side is absorbed, and the stability of support is improved.

Such a configuration is not limited to the power carriage 9 and the intermediate carriage 10
Needless to say, is also effective.

Further, the coil spring 15 and the shock absorber 16 are sufficient at least only on the power carriage 9 side, but they can be attached to the intermediate carriage 10 without any problem. Since either of these may be used, it is provided on the power carriage 9 side in the embodiment.

The distance between the upper frame 13 and the lower frame 14 is adjusted by changing the length of the shock absorber 16.

That is, when the vehicle height is adjusted by changing the level of the upper frame 13 of each power bogie 9 located at both ends of the movable roof 5, the power bogie 9 and the intermediate bogie 10 supporting these movable roofs 5 share. The shared load of the moving roof 5 and the like is changed.

Further, by changing the spring constant of the coil spring 15 of each carriage 9, the load acting on each carriage 9 can be adjusted.

Therefore, the vehicle height can be adjusted by changing the length of the shock absorber 16 so that the vertical load shared by the power bogie 9 is at least lighter than the vertical load shared by the intermediate bogie 10. . In this way, it is possible to reduce the power capacity by changing the load sharing on the truck 9 and the intermediate truck 10.

<< Effects >> As described in detail above, according to the retractable roof of the present invention, the roof that is opened and closed by the outer wall and the fixed roof is supported, and the beam is not provided on the top surface, so that the open feeling is excellent.

Moreover, since the fixed roof is a crescent-shaped, the inner edge of the fixed roof is curved outward to have a wide opening.

Further, since the top surface of the dome is constructed such that the rotating roof that opens and closes by the rotating motion is superposed on the moving roof, there is an advantage that the storage area when opened can be reduced.

At that time, since the vehicle height of the supporting carriage such as the power carriage or the intermediate carriage can be adjusted up and down, the vertical load burden of the movable roof can be evenly distributed and adjusted to the respective carriages.

Further, by changing the spring constant of the elastic means of each supporting carriage, the load acting on each supporting carriage can be adjusted.

Therefore, as compared with the case where a large load is applied only to the power truck, mechanical motion loss is reduced and the power can be used efficiently, so that there is an effect that the power can be opened and closed with a relatively small power capacity.
