DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile seat used in a gym or a hall.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, various types of movable seats for versatile use of spaces such as gymnasiums and halls have been developed. This type of movable seats are a plurality of steps that advance forward when used and are deployed in a tiered form, retracted backward when stored, and stored in a stacked state, and a drive that drives these steps forward and backward A device is provided, and a seat is formed in the internal space as necessary or the internal space can be widely opened by removing the seat.

[0003]

In such a conventional drive device, a pair of endless track mechanisms are arranged at the center in the width direction of a specific step floor in a state where they are connected to each other via a shaft. The endless track mechanism is synchronously driven so that the floor can be moved forward and backward together with other floors. For this reason, when the floor has irregularities, etc., even if the two endless track mechanisms are driven synchronously, the stepped floor may meander instead of going straight, and it may not be possible to realize a proper forward / backward drive. is there.

Therefore, in order to solve such inconvenience, it is conceivable as an effective means to configure both endless track mechanisms so that they can be driven independently of one another. It is difficult to make meander prevention effective. For example, if there is an imbalance in the ground contact state with the floor between the two endless track mechanisms,
Even if an attempt is made to adjust the driving force appropriately, the slippage of one of the endless track mechanisms may result in such adjustment being completely negligible.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a moving spectator according to the present invention is provided with a pair of endless track mechanisms so as to be independently driven, and to enhance the accuracy of the driving. To be configured.

[0006]

And a pair of pressing mechanisms that press each of these endless track mechanisms toward the floor surface, so that the pressing force of each pressing mechanism can be adjusted individually. It is characterized by having done.

With this configuration, if the two endless track mechanisms are properly pressed against the floor via the pressing mechanism and grounded, the drive of each endless track mechanism can be performed without slipping on the floor. This will contribute to the driving force of the corrugated floor. For this reason, the driving force of the endless track mechanism is initially set according to the unevenness of the floor surface, and then the driving force is feedback-controlled while sequentially detecting the driving state, as well as operating under the initial setting conditions. Also in such a case, it is possible to reliably eliminate the inconvenience that such initial setting and feedback control are returned to nothing due to slippage of the endless track mechanism.

As a preferred embodiment, the two endless track mechanisms are configured by being incorporated near the left and right side frame portions of a common frame having a frame shape, and one end of each balance member is pivotally attached to the left and right side frame portions. What is.

The driving device is arranged at a position where the foremost floor can be driven, and the forward and backward movement of the foremost floor can be linked with the movement of the second and subsequent floors. Is preferred. In order to effectively reduce the number of parts, it is desirable that the pressing mechanism also serves as a power transmission member for transmitting the forward / backward driving force of the endless track mechanism to the floor.

In order to change the driving state arbitrarily and to maintain an appropriate driving state even when the floor surface or the step floor changes over time, the driving device is provided with a detecting means for detecting the meandering of the step floor,
It is desirable to provide a control means for performing feedback control of each endless track mechanism in a direction to eliminate the meandering.

[0011]

A support 24 is provided upright at the rear part of the base 23 and supports an appropriate part of the floor 2. The storage space S opened to the front side is formed between the left and right supports 24, The support columns 24 of the movable frames 22 are arranged so as to be bulkier toward the rear side, and displaced outward toward the rear side, and are disposed in the storage space S on the rear side.
Is set so as to enter together with the corrugated floor 2. And
When the adjacent stepped floor 2 is brought into a predetermined deployed state, the rear stepped floor 2 is interlocked with the forward movement of the front stepped floor 2 via an engaging portion (not shown) which engages when the predetermined stepped state is reached. The rear stage 2 is linked to the retreating operation of the front stage 2 via an engaging portion (not shown) that engages when the two overlap in a predetermined overlapping state. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, each stepped floor 2 is advanced forward and unfolded in the form of a nest, and each stepped floor 2 is retracted rearward as shown in FIG. It can be stored. The chair 1 can be driven up and down so that it stands up when used and falls down when stored.

On the other hand, the driving device 3 is disposed in a lower space at the center in the width direction of the foremost step floor 2 and is shown in FIG.
7, a pair of left and right endless track mechanisms 5 supported by a common frame 4 and a pair of pressing mechanisms 6 for individually pressing these endless track mechanisms 5 toward the floor surface F.
And More specifically, the frame 4 has a structure in which a front frame portion 41 and a rear frame portion 42 are connected by left and right side frame portions 43 and a pair of reinforcing bars 44.

The endless track mechanism 5 is disposed inside the left and right side frame portions 43 and has two ends pivotally supported by the side frame portion 43 and the reinforcing bar portion 44 at two front and rear portions of the frame 4. A pair of axles 51, wheels 52 attached near the outer ends of these axles 51, caterpillar-type endless track elements 50 wound between the front and rear wheels 52, and near the rear frame 42 of the frame 4. A driving motor 53 disposed;
A pair of pulleys 54 and a belt 55 for transmitting power between an output shaft 53 a of the drive motor 53 and a rear axle 51, and a proper belt 55 supported by the side frame 43 of the frame 4. And a coil spring 56 for maintaining the tension state. The drive motor 53 is of a type that can at least freely adjust the number of revolutions. In this embodiment, when the movable seat is installed, the drive motors 53 of the left and right endless track mechanisms 5 are initially set to appropriate drive revolutions. It is set and then used under the set rotation speed.

On the other hand, the pressing mechanism 6 is mainly composed of a balance member 61. The balance member 61 has a rectangular pipe shape, and a bracket 63 is attached to a side wall of a front end 61a, which is one end thereof, by using a pin 62 with a pin 62. It is connected so that it can rotate relatively. On the other hand, the above-described vertical bar 27 is located on the lower surface of the stepped floor main body 2 corresponding to the disposition position of the balance member 61, and the vertical bar 27 has a cross-sectional gate whose opening is previously oriented downward. It is made of type. Then, the balance member 61 is accommodated in the vertical rail 27, and the lower surface of the bracket 63 is rigidly connected to the side frame 43 of the frame 4 constituting the driving device 3 by welding or the like as shown in FIG. Member 6
As shown in FIG. 9, the side wall of the intermediate portion 61b is pivotally connected to the side wall of the vertical bar 27 using a pin 64, and further, as shown in FIG. 27 is engaged via the screw element 7 so that the vertical position can be adjusted. The screw element 7 is provided between the top wall of the vertical rail 27 and the balance member 6.
1, a bolt 71 penetrating through the top wall and the bottom wall, a nut 72 screwed to a penetrating end of the bolt 71,
And a double nut 73 screwed in the vicinity of the first head 71a. The rear end portion 61c of the balance member 61 can be held at the adjusted position by adjusting the contact with and separating from the base member and then tightening the double nut 73. That is, by adjusting the screw element 7 in the direction of the arrow U or V in FIG.
b as a fulcrum, and as a result, the front end 61a
Can be displaced in the direction of the arrow X or Y in FIG. Therefore, its front end 61
a driving device 3 which is pivotally connected to a through a bracket 63
The corresponding side frame portion 43 of the frame 4 is pressed against the floor surface F by the balance member 61 using the stepped floor 2 as a scaffold, and the pressing force can be individually adjusted by the respective screw elements 7. .

In the moving seat of the present embodiment constructed as described above, each of the endless track mechanisms 5 can be properly pressed against the floor F by the pressing mechanism 6 to be in contact with the ground. 5 can be surely performed without slipping on the floor F, and can be used accurately for the propulsive force of the stepped floor 2. Accordingly, the driving force of the corresponding endless track mechanism 5 is adjusted by adjusting the rotation speed of each drive motor 53 so that all the stepped floors 2 move forward and backward without meandering regardless of the presence or absence of unevenness of the floor surface F. Once the initial setting has been made, it is possible to reliably eliminate the problem that the setting is returned to nothing due to the slip of the endless track mechanism 5 and the like. It is possible to continue to reproduce an appropriate behavior for a long time.

The pressing mechanism 6 is mainly composed of a balance member 61 having an intermediate portion 61b pivotally supported on the floor 2. The front end portion 61a of the balance member 61 is connected to the endless track mechanism 5.
And the rear end portion 61c is engaged with the floor 2 via the screw element 7 so that the vertical position can be adjusted. Even if it is provided near the rear edge of the bunk floor 2 that can be concealed from the outside and is easy to operate, the point of application of the pressing force can be taken forward and effectively transmitted to the substantially central portion of the endless track mechanism 5 in the front-rear direction. . For this reason, it is possible to reliably prevent the endless track mechanism 5 from being in a so-called wheely state, as in the case where the rear end of the endless track mechanism 5 is directly pressed from the disposition position of the screw element 7. it can.

Further, in this embodiment, the two endless track mechanisms 5 are connected to the left and right side frame portions 4 of the common frame 4 having a frame shape.
3 and the front end portion 61a of each balance member 61 is pivotally attached to the left and right side frame portions 43, so that the use of separate frames is not lost without impairing the individual adjustment function of the pressing force. The cost can be reduced by reducing the number of components and the size of the frame can be reduced. At the same time, the internal stress generated when the drive force of the two endless track mechanisms 5 is set to be different is given to the rigidity of the frame 4 to prevent such stress from directly acting on the floor 2, Unnecessarily increasing the load applied to the second device can be effectively avoided.

Further, the driving device 3 is disposed at a position where the foremost bunk floor 2 can be driven, and the advancing and retreating operation of the second and subsequent bunk floors 2 only by driving the foremost bunk floor 2 forward and backward. Can be interlocked with each other, so that the structure can be simplified and a smooth behavior between the steps 2 can be ensured. In particular, in such a case, as described above, by incorporating the pair of endless track mechanisms 5 into the common frame 4, the gap between the left and right movable frames 22 is the narrowest, and the front stage without the space margin is available. The driving device 3 can also be arranged without difficulty in the space below the step floor 2, which is extremely useful when it is necessary to set up this movable spectator in a space with a narrow frontage.

Furthermore, since the pressing mechanism 6 is also used as a power transmitting member for transmitting the advance / retreat driving force of the endless track mechanism 5 to the step floor 2, it is not necessary to separately provide a power transmitting member, and the components are eliminated. It is possible to further reduce the score. The configuration of each unit is not limited to only the above-described embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the rotation speed of the drive motor 53 is initially set only when the movable seat is installed. However, the drive force is controlled while controlling the rotation speed by inverter control or the like while sequentially detecting the drive state. Feedback control may be performed. With this configuration, even if unevenness of the floor or aging of the structures such as the stepped floor 2 and the frame 4 occurs, the appropriate driving state of the stepped floor 2 and, consequently, the entire movable seat can be maintained for a long period of time. can do. Of course, also in this case, the inconvenience of the feedback control being returned to nothing due to slippage of the endless track mechanism 5 through the pressing mechanism 6 is reliably prevented.

Incidentally, the feedback control in this case is as follows.
It can be simply configured by detecting means such as a proximity sensor for detecting the meandering of the floor 2 and control means such as a microcomputer for performing feedback control of the drive motor 53 of each endless track mechanism 5 in a direction for eliminating the meandering. By configuring the detecting means to detect a marker embedded in the floor F, the inconvenience of deteriorating the flushness of the floor can be effectively avoided.

Other specific configurations can be variously modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0023]

The present invention is embodied in the form described above and has the following effects. That is, the movable seat of the present invention comprises a pair of endless track mechanisms in which a driving device for driving a stepped floor is disposed on a common stepped floor so that they can be driven independently of each other. And a pair of pressing mechanisms to press each other, the pressing force of each pressing mechanism can be adjusted individually, and both endless track mechanisms are properly pressed to the floor surface via the pressing mechanism and grounded. Things. For this reason, the drive of each endless track mechanism can be reliably performed without slipping on the floor surface, and the initial setting and feedback control for both endless track mechanisms can always be made appropriate and effective.

Further, the pressing mechanism is mainly composed of a balance member, and by operating the other end of the balance member through the screw element to bring out the point of application of the pressing force to one end, the screw element can be spatially separated. Even if it is arranged on the trailing edge side of the step floor where the restrictions are small and the appearance is good, a uniform pressing force against the floor surface can be applied to the entire endless track mechanism. Furthermore, if the two endless track mechanisms are incorporated in a common frame-shaped frame, and one end of each balance member is pivotally attached to the left and right side frame portions of the frame, the individual adjustment function of the pressing force is impaired. In addition, it is possible to reduce the number of parts, thereby reducing costs and reducing the size of the frame. Further, with such a configuration, it is possible to prevent an excessive force from being applied to the floor when there is a difference in the driving force between the two endless track mechanisms, and to prevent a reduction in the strength of the floor.

Further, if the driving device is arranged at a position where the frontmost floor can be driven and the second and subsequent floors are driven, the entire floor can be smoothly and smoothly formed with a simple structure. A reliable driving state can be realized. In particular, in this case, if the pair of endless track mechanisms are incorporated in a common frame, the drive device can be easily arranged in the space below the foremost step floor where there is no room for space. In particular, it can be extremely effective when this movable seat is installed in a space with a narrow frontage.

Furthermore, if the pressing mechanism is also used as a power transmission member for transmitting the advance / retreat driving force of the endless track mechanism to the step floor, it is not necessary to separately provide a power transmission member, thereby further reducing the number of parts. It becomes possible. in addition,
If the meandering of the bunk floor is detected by the detecting means and the two endless mechanism mechanisms are successively controlled by the feedback means, the appropriate driving state of the entire movable seat can be maintained over a long period of time even if each part changes over time. It can be maintained.
