Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a moving partitioning device used when partitioning a floor of a hotel, an office, or the like as needed.

[Prior Art] In this type of moving partition device, a ceiling rail having a continuous opening in a bottom wall is fixed to a ceiling of a building, and a plurality of traveling bodies can travel in the ceiling rail. The suspension rods are provided at the intermediate portions of the traveling bodies, and the lower ends of the suspension rods are passed through the openings and hung below the ceiling rail. The movable walls are suspended and supported by the pair of suspension rods, and the movable walls can be moved along the ceiling rail.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the conventional moving wall has no self-propelling force and is moved by the pressing force of the operator. Therefore, not only a great amount of labor is required for the moving work, but also the portion that presses the moving wall is almost constant, so that there is a problem that only that portion is easily soiled. Also, with a tall moving wall, since the lower half of the moving wall is pushed to move, the moving wall may tilt like a goodwill due to the running resistance of the running body, causing a hanging rod. There is also a problem that it is easy for excessive force to act.

In order to deal with such a problem, it has been considered that a driving force is applied to the traveling body by a motor or the like so that the traveling wall can be self-propelled.

By the way, in such a structure, it is necessary to provide a mechanism for guiding the traveling body to a desired route at a portion where the ceiling rails intersect. As is conventionally considered, as shown in FIG. 12, a turntable q having a small diameter is provided at a portion where the ceiling rails p intersect each other, and each time the traveling bodies r and s reach the intersection A, The turntable q is turned to guide the traveling bodies r and s to a desired route.

However, with such a configuration, the traveling bodies r, s
Since the turntable q must be rotated every time the vehicle reaches the intersection A, the control becomes complicated, and the relative speed between the traveling bodies r and s of the moving wall t passing through the intersection A. There is also a problem that it is difficult to control. Specifically, as in the illustrated example, when the moving wall t passes through the intersection A where the ceiling rails p are orthogonal to each other, from the moment the traveling body r on the front side in the traveling direction leaves the intersection A, the traveling direction is Until the traveling body s at the rear reaches the intersection A,
Unless the relative velocities of the two traveling bodies r and s are changed momentarily, the traveling drive portion becomes unreasonable.

Furthermore, with such a structure, when each moving wall is suspended and supported by three or more traveling bodies, it becomes impossible to turn the moving wall.

The present invention aims to solve all such problems.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention employs the following configuration in order to achieve the above object.

That is, the moving partition device according to the present invention includes a plurality of ceiling rails, a turntable, a table drive mechanism, a traveling body, a suspension rod, a moving wall, and a moving wall traveling drive mechanism. The plurality of ceiling rails are horizontally arranged with their ends facing the intersection,
The bottom wall has a continuous opening through which the suspension rod passes, and a rail surface is formed on the upper surface of the bottom wall at a portion sandwiching the opening, and the outside becomes higher on the outer edge side of both rail surfaces. It is formed by forming each step,
The turntable is arranged at the intersection, and is provided with a movable rail having the same sectional shape as the ceiling rail. The table drive mechanism horizontally swivels the turntable to move the end of the movable rail. It is configured so that it can be selectively matched with the end portion of the ceiling rail, and each moving wall has a plurality of running bodies and suspensions having wheels at four corners that roll on the rail surface while being guided by the step portion. Suspended and supported on ceiling rails via suspension rods respectively, the moving wall traveling drive mechanism is configured so that each moving wall can be made to travel independently of each other, and the movable rails of the turntable are: It is characterized in that it is set to a size capable of simultaneously holding a plurality of traveling bodies supporting each moving wall.

With a simple configuration, to make the moving wall surely self-propelled,
The moving wall traveling drive mechanism is fixed to the inner surfaces of the side walls of the ceiling rail and the movable rail, a sprocket meshed with this chain, and this sprocket is fixed to the upper end and rotatably mounted on the outer circumference of the suspension rod. Rotating sleeve,
It is preferable to include a motor which is housed in the moving wall and rotationally drives the lower end of the rotary sleeve.

[Operation] With such a configuration, by applying a driving force to the traveling body by the function of the moving wall traveling drive mechanism,
Each moving wall can be independently moved along the ceiling rail. When passing the intersection through the moving wall, the traveling of the moving wall is temporarily stopped when all of the plurality of running bodies supporting the moving wall are housed in the movable rails of the turntable. In this state, turn the turntable and change the direction of the moving wall. When the end of the movable rail matches the end of the desired ceiling rail, the turning of the turntable is ended, and the traveling of the moving wall is started again.
Thus, according to this operation, the direction of the moving wall can be changed all at once by turning the turntable once, and the desired ceiling rail can be guided.

Moreover, the bottom wall of the ceiling rail is shaped as described above,
Since the wheels of the traveling body roll on the rail surface while being guided by the steps from both sides, it is possible to reliably prevent each traveling body from meandering. In addition to this,
Since the movable rail of the turntable also has the same sectional shape as the ceiling rail, the wheels of the traveling body supported by the turntable also roll on the rail surface while being positioned by the step. Therefore, even if the turntable is rapidly rotated, the wheels of the traveling body can be prevented from shifting laterally, the direction of the traveling body changes slightly, or the traveling body moves in parallel, and the suspension rod opens. There is no problem such as abutting or approaching the edge of the. Therefore, it is possible to speed up the turntable without impairing the smoothness of moving the moving wall in and out of the turntable.

Each moving wall 5 is suspended and supported by two running bodies 6, and the movable rail 22 of the turntable 2 has a length capable of accommodating the two running bodies 6 supporting each moving wall 5 at the same time. Is set to.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. First, when the traveling motor 84 is activated, the rotational power of the traveling motor 84 is transmitted to the rotary sleeve 83 via the reduction gear 89, the drive gear 88 and the driven gear 87, and the sprocket 82 rotates. The sprocket 82, since that is is engaged with the chain 81 which is fixed to the ceiling rail 1 _1, by the rotation of the sprocket 82, so that the traveling body 6 is self ceiling rail 1 _1.
This makes that the moving wall 5 is moved along the ceiling rail 1 _1. At this time, since the wheels 65 of each traveling body 6 roll on the rail surface 14a while being guided by the stepped portions 14b from both sides, it is possible to effectively prevent each traveling body 6 from meandering. When passing the intersection A through the moving wall 5, a stage in which the two traveling bodies 6 supporting the moving wall 5 are both housed in the movable rail 22 of the turntable 2 (see FIG. 3).
Then, the traveling of the moving wall 5 is once stopped. Movable rail 22
Since the chain 81 is fixed inside, the traveling body 5 can be advanced to a desired position in the movable rail 22.
In this state, the turntable 2 is turned to change the direction of the moving wall 5. Specifically, the motor 34 of the table drive mechanism 3 is operated to move the rotating arm 31 from the starting point a to the ending point b.
When it is rotated up to
The movable rail 22 connected to 31 turns horizontally and turns 90 ° (see Fig. 4). As a result, the end of the movable rail 22 is connected to the ends of the second and third ceiling rails 1 ₂ and 1 _{3 by} the relay rail 27.
Match via ₂ , 27 ₃ . Turntable 2 at this stage
Then, the traveling motor 84 is activated again to start traveling on the moving wall 5. Then, according to this operation, the turntable 2 is rotated once only and the moving wall 5 is moved.
The orientation of the desired ceiling rail can be changed at once
You can reach 1 ₂ and 1 ₃ . The movable rail 22 of the turntable 2 is the ceiling rail as described above.
1 _2, 1 ₃ and without the same cross-sectional shape and, since the step portion 22fb are formed on the outer edge side of the rail surfaces 22fa of the bottom wall 22f, even within the movable rail 22, the wheels of the traveling body 6 65 is
It is possible to prevent the movable rail 22 from shifting in a direction orthogonal to the movable rail 22. That is, when the turntable 2 starts to rotate or stops, the inertial force acting on the moving wall 5 causes a force in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction to act on each traveling body 6, and the force is the turntable 2 The higher the speed, the greater the effect. However, if the steps 22fb as described above are provided, the wheels 65 of the traveling body 6 can be guided from both sides by the steps 22fb, and the wheels 65 can be prevented from laterally slipping. Therefore, it is possible to speed up the operation of the turntable 2 without causing a problem that each traveling body 6 is displaced with respect to the movable rail 22 or the direction thereof is unduly changed.

As described above, when the moving wall 5 is moved to the desired position, the traveling motor 84 is stopped, and then the sealing motor 168 is operated to move the upper and lower sealing members 54 and 55 to the ceiling. Press on surface C and floor F. In this embodiment, since the sealing member drive mechanism 160 is held by the floating frame 150, a differential pressing action is performed between the upper close contact member 54 and the lower close contact member 55. The close contact members 54, 55 are pressed against the ceiling surface C and the floor surface F with an equal force.

The operation described above can be automatically performed as appropriate using a normal sequencer or microcomputer. Therefore, each moving wall 5 has a limit switch for detecting whether or not the moving wall 5 is in contact with an adjacent moving wall 5,
Limit switches for detecting whether the upper and lower close contact members 54, 55 are pressed against the ceiling surface C and the floor surface F are provided. Further, the turntable 2 is provided with a sensor for detecting whether or not the traveling body 6 of the moving wall 5 has reached a predetermined position of the movable rail 22, a limit switch for detecting the turning position of the movable rail 22, and the like. deep.

In addition, in the embodiment described above, the case where the turntable is provided at the intersection where the three ceiling rails meet has been described. However, the portion where the two ceiling rails intersect and the four or more ceiling rails meet. The same applies to intersections.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the moving wall can be self-propelled along the ceiling rail. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of pressing the moving wall to move the moving wall, and also to solve the problem that a certain portion is easily soiled due to hand marks or the like. In addition, since it is not necessary to apply a moving force to the lower half of the moving wall to move the traveling body, it does not cause good-moving swing of the moving wall, and an unreasonable bending stress acts on the suspension rod. Can be effectively prevented.

Moreover, this one is provided with a movable rail at the intersection of the ceiling rails capable of accommodating a plurality of traveling bodies supporting each movable wall at the same time, and the movable rail can be horizontally swiveled to select the traveling route of the movable wall. Therefore, the number of turns can be reduced as compared with the case where the movable rail is turned each time the traveling body reaches the intersection, and the turntable control is simplified. Moreover, with such a structure, it is possible to reasonably change the direction of the moving wall without delicately changing the relative running speeds of the plurality of running bodies that support the moving wall. Further, with such a structure, even when the moving wall is suspended and supported by three or more traveling bodies, the moving wall can be swung without trouble. Therefore, for example, an ordinary moving wall is suspended by two traveling bodies, and a heavy moving wall equipped with a door or the like is suspended by three traveling bodies. The effect of being able to do is obtained. In addition, since a step is provided on the outer edge side of the rail surface of the ceiling rail to guide the wheels of the traveling body from both sides, the difference in rotation resistance between the left and right wheels and mounting distortion in the width direction of the ceiling rail, etc. Even if there is, the running body is not shaken to the left and right, so that the meandering of the running body can be effectively prevented. Moreover, since the movable rail of the turntable has the same sectional shape as the ceiling rail,
The wheels of the traveling body supported by the movable rail can also be guided from both sides by the step portion. Therefore, even if the turntable is rotated and stopped relatively quickly, the positional deviation of the traveling body with respect to the movable rail and the irrelevant change of the direction of the traveling body are not caused. Therefore, the operation of the turntable can be speeded up.

Further, if the moving wall traveling drive mechanism is configured as described above, it is not necessary to mount the motor on the traveling body. Therefore, a strong driving force can be exerted on the traveling body arranged in the narrow ceiling rail, and the moving wall can be surely self-propelled.
