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. Suspension rods are attached to the intermediate portions of these traveling bodies, and the lower ends of the suspension rods are passed through the openings and hung below the ceiling rail. The suspension walls are supported by the suspension rods that make a pair, and the suspension walls can be moved along the ceiling rails.

[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. Further, in the case of a tall moving wall, the lower half portion of the moving wall is pushed and moved, so that due to the running resistance of the running body, the moving wall may tilt in the thickness direction like a goodwill, There is also a problem that unreasonable force tends to act on the suspension rod.

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. 11, 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. Another problem is 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 rear traveling body s reaches the intersection A, unless the relative speeds of the traveling bodies r and s are constantly changed,
The driving drive part will be overloaded.

In order to deal with such a problem, the movable rail,
It has been considered to use a turntable having a size capable of accommodating both traveling bodies supporting each moving wall at the same time.

If such a turntable is used, the moving wall can be swung at a stroke, so that the above-mentioned problem can be solved. However, the conventional moving wall forms a pair near the left and right side edges thereof. Since the suspension is supported by the suspension rod, if such a system is adopted, the turning portion of the turntable becomes a large one having a diameter corresponding to the width dimension of the moving wall. Therefore, large-scale construction is required to assemble it on the ceiling of the building. Further, in this type of turntable, a frame-shaped fixed frame exists outside the turning portion, and the fixed frame is supported by a building structure material and arranged on the ceiling portion. Therefore, it is difficult to arrange the turning portion including the movable rail so as to be extremely close to the building wall. As a result, for example,
The moving wall pulled out along the first ceiling rail parallel to the building wall is swung by the turntable, guided to the second ceiling rail orthogonal to the building wall, and arranged along this second ceiling rail. Problems often occur when the space is partitioned by the moving wall. That is, in this case,
Finally, it is necessary to bring the telescope part installed on the side edge of the moving wall that was introduced into the turntable and swiveled into contact with the building wall existing in the vicinity of the turntable for light shielding and sound insulation. As described above, since it is difficult to provide the turntable close to the wall, a relatively large gap is formed between the side edge of the moving wall after turning and the building wall. Therefore, it becomes necessary to provide a telescope portion having a large stroke on the last moving wall, which makes it difficult to secure an internal space of the moving wall, which greatly reduces the degree of freedom in design.

On the other hand, in this type of moving wall, an upper contact member is disposed in the vicinity of the upper edge so as to be able to project and retract toward the ceiling surface. It is connected to the upper end of an elevating shaft arranged at a slightly displaced position so that it can be pushed and retracted. That is, the upper close contact member is used to closely contact the ceiling surface at the position where the moving wall is used and to insulate or shield the sound at this portion, and it is desirable that the upper close contact member is uniformly driven in the width direction. . However, conventionally, a pair of suspending rods exist near the widthwise edge of the moving wall, and as a result of disposing the lifting shaft avoiding the position where the suspending rod is disposed, the upper contact member and the lifting shaft are It is connected in only one place. Therefore, although the lifting shaft and the suspension rod do not interfere with each other, it is difficult for the driving force of the lifting shaft to be evenly transmitted to the upper contact member in the longitudinal direction, and the sound insulation and the light blocking property are likely to be deteriorated at the use position. There's a problem.

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 horizontally arranged ceiling rails with their ends facing the intersections, and a movable partition having the same sectional shape as the ceiling rails arranged at the intersections. A turntable provided with a rail; a table drive mechanism configured to horizontally swing the turntable so that an end of the movable rail can be selectively matched with an end of the ceiling rail; and the ceiling rail A moving body that is arranged so that it can travel inside, a moving wall that is suspended and supported by a ceiling rail via a pair of suspension rods that hang down from a pair of traveling bodies, and a movement that moves this moving wall A wall traveling drive mechanism, an upper contact member that is housed in an upper edge portion of the moving wall and can project and retract toward the ceiling surface, an elevating shaft arranged inside the moving wall so as to be able to ascend and descend, and the elevating and lowering shaft. Before shaft up / down movement A balance arm for distributing and transmitting to two places on the left and right of the upper contact member and a pair of left and right biasing rods are provided, and the distance between the pair of suspension rods for suspending each movable wall is defined by the distance between the movable walls. Set a value that is less than 1/2 of the width of the moving wall, and place both biasing rods symmetrically at positions that are approximately 1/4 of the width of the moving wall away from the center line of the moving wall in the width direction. Furthermore, the movable rail of the turntable is set to a size such that a pair of traveling bodies can be held at the same time.

With a simple configuration, to make the moving wall surely self-propelled,
The moving wall traveling drive mechanism is fixed to the inner surface of the side wall of the ceiling rail and the movable rail, the sprocket is meshed with this chain, and the sprocket is fixed to the upper end of the chain, and the sprocket is fixed to the outer circumference of each suspension rod. It is preferable to include a pair of rotating sleeves that are externally packaged, and a motor that is housed in the moving wall and rotationally drives the lower ends of these rotating sleeves.

[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 the pair of running bodies supporting the moving wall are completely housed in the movable rail 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. Then, according to this operation, turntable 1
The direction of the moving wall can be changed all at once by turning only once, and the desired ceiling rail can be guided.

Since the distance between the pair of suspension rods is set to a value less than 1/2 of the width of the moving wall, the movable rail is much shorter than the width of the moving wall. Mu. Therefore, when rotating the movable rail to rotate the movable wall, the side edge of the movable wall moves outside the outer edge of the turntable. Therefore, even if the turntable is arranged at a position relatively distant from the building wall, by rotating the moving wall, the dimensions of the respective parts are adjusted so that the side edges of the moving wall are extremely close to the building wall. Easy to set.

Further, when the two suspension rods are brought close to each other and a traveling motor or the like is arranged between the two suspension rods, two urging rods for pressing the upper contact member of the moving wall are provided. It is necessary to dispose the suspension rod outside the suspension rod, but if the separation distance of the suspension rod is set to a value less than 1/2 of the width dimension of the moving wall, the separation distance of the urging rod can be moved. It is possible to set it to 1/2 of the width of the wall or a value close to it. In order to press two parts of the upper sealing member having a length corresponding to the width dimension of the moving wall from the lower side and evenly press the respective parts against the ceiling surface, the pressing position is the width dimension from the center position in the width direction of the moving wall. Although it is ideal to set them at positions separated from each other by 1/4, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize the ideal arrangement or an arrangement close thereto.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. First, when the traveling motor 84 is started, the rotational power of the traveling motor 84 is reduced by the reduction gear 89, the drive sprocket 88, and the transmission chain 88a.
And, it is transmitted to both rotary sleeves 83 via the driven sprockets 87, and both sprockets 82 rotate synchronously. These sprockets 82, chain 81 which is fixed to the ceiling rail 1 ₁
Since it is meshed with, by the rotation of the sprocket 82,
So that both traveling body 6 is self ceiling rail 1 _1. Thereby moving wall 5 is moved along the ceiling rail 1 _1. When passing the intersection A through the moving wall 5,
At the stage where the two traveling bodies 6 that support the moving wall 5 are housed in the movable rail 22 of the turntable 2 (see FIG. 2), the traveling of the moving wall 5 is temporarily stopped. Since the chain 81 is fixedly installed also in the movable rail 22, it is possible to advance the traveling body 5 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
When the rotating arm 31 is rotated from the starting point a to the ending point b by operating the., The movable rail 22 connected to the rotating arm 31 via the link rod 35 horizontally turns and changes its direction by 90 ° ( (See Figure 3). As a result, the end of the movable rail 22 is the second
Match the ends of the ceiling rails 1 and ₂ . At this stage, the turning of the turntable 2 is stopped, the traveling motor 84 is activated again, and the traveling of the moving wall 5 is started. Thus, according to this operation, it is possible to change the turn table 2 the direction of the moving wall 5 at once only by turning once, it can be guided to the desired ceiling rail 1 _2.

In this case, the distance L between the pair of suspension rods 7 is set to a value less than 1/2 of the width W of the moving wall 5.
The movable rail 22 is much shorter than the width W of the moving wall 5. Therefore, when the movable rail 22 is rotated to turn the moving wall 5, the side edge 5a of the moving wall 5 is rotated.
Moves outside the outer edge 2a of the turntable 2. Therefore, the turntable 2 is attached to the building wall G
Even if it is arranged at a position relatively distant from, the size of each part can be set by turning the moving wall 5 so that the side edge 5a of the moving wall 5 comes very close to the building wall G. It will be easier. Therefore, even when the telescope portion is projected from the moving wall 5 to perform sound insulation or light shielding between the moving wall 5 and the building wall G, the telescopic portion need only have a very small stroke.

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 surface. Press on 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.

The configuration of the moving wall traveling drive mechanism is not limited to that of the illustrated embodiment, and for example, a pair of traveling bodies, a pair of suspension rods, and a moving wall traveling drive mechanism are common. The frame may be assembled into a unit to be unitized, and the unit may be detachably attached to the main body of the moving wall.

[Advantages of the Invention] The present invention provides a movable rail capable of accommodating a pair of traveling bodies that support each moving wall at the intersection of ceiling rails, and horizontally swings the movable rail to set the traveling route of the moving wall. Since the selection is made possible, the number of turns can be reduced as compared to 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, the direction of the moving wall can be reasonably changed without delicately changing the relative traveling speeds of the plurality of traveling bodies supporting the moving wall.

In addition, since the distance between the pair of suspension rods is set to a value less than 1/2 of the width of the moving wall, it is better than the turntable required to swivel the moving wall in the past. A much smaller turntable can be used to swivel the moving wall. Therefore, not only the installation work of the turntable can be performed easily, but also the stroke of the telescope portion of the moving wall arranged at the end at the time of use can be shortened. Therefore, it is not necessary to secure a large space for housing the telescope portion inside the moving wall, and the degree of freedom in design can be improved. Further, in this way, the separation distance of the urging rods that need to be arranged on the outside of these both suspension rods,
It is possible to set the width of the moving wall to 1/2 or a value close thereto. Therefore, the pressing position of the upper contact member by these urging rods can be set to an ideal position, and each part of the contact member can be evenly pressed against the ceiling surface. That is, according to the present invention, the side edge of the moving wall can be surely brought into close contact with the building wall, and at the same time, the upper edge of the moving wall can be brought into close contact with the ceiling surface via the upper close contact member. High sound insulation and light shielding properties can be imparted to the whole.

In addition, when the moving wall is self-propelled, it is not necessary to press the lower half of the moving wall to follow the traveling body, so the tilting moment acting on the suspension rod can be significantly reduced. Becomes Therefore, even if the distance between the suspension rods is set to a small value as described above, it is possible to drive the moving wall without difficulty.

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.
