The direction change section 3 is located at a position where a detecting section 16 provided above the running body 4 is detected when each of the running bodies 4 reaches a predetermined turning point, that is, a cross center.
A detection sensor 17 for driving the sounding body 7 is provided. Further, the detection unit 16 may be provided at an appropriate position on the panel body 6 in addition to the traveling body 4. In the present embodiment, the detection unit 16 is a projection provided on the upper part of the traveling body 4 and the detection sensor 17 is an operation pin such as a limit switch. An example that turns on and drives an electric sounding body 7 such as a buzzer is shown. However, the detection unit 16
And the detection sensor 17 may be optical or electromagnetic non-contact detection means. Further, the sounding body 7 may have a structure in which the detection unit 16 generates a sound by mechanical means by displacing the detection sensor 17.
Describing this embodiment in more detail, the sounding body 7
The sound sensor 7 is disposed above the upper surface plate 10 of the direction change portion 3 and the detection sensor 17 is projected downward from the upper surface plate 10. One or more through holes 18
Is formed.

Thus, as shown in FIG. 1, in order to move the panel body 6 that has moved along a certain traveling rail portion 2 along another traveling rail portion 2 that has turned at right angles,
The panel body 6 is operated as follows. First, when the traveling body 4 on the forward side of the panel body 6 reaches the turning point of the turning section 3, the detection sensor 17 detects the detecting section 16,
Since the sound is generated from the sounding body 7, the sound is recognized, the movement of the panel body 6 is stopped, and then the panel body 6 is pushed so that the traveling body 4 moves toward the target traveling rail portion 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the traveling body 4 on the forward side is moved along the other traveling rail portion 2 and the traveling body 4 on the rear side is moved.
Is moved along the original traveling rail portion 2. Then, when the rear running body 4 reaches the turning point of the turning section 3, the detection sensor 17 detects the detecting section 16 as described above, and a sound is generated from the sounding body 7, so that the sound is recognized. The panel body 6 is stopped by moving the panel body 6 so that the rear traveling body 4 also moves in the direction of the target traveling rail section 2.
Press to move.

Here, when each of the traveling bodies 4 approaches the direction changing section 3, if the moving speed of the panel body 6 is reduced, the panel body 6 is stopped almost at the same time when the sounding body 7 generates a sound. Can be stopped at a predetermined turning point.
Further, the detection sensor 17 is provided immediately before the turning point 3, and after the detection sensor 17 detects the detecting section 16, the moving speed of the panel body 6 is reduced to move the traveling body 4 to the predetermined turning point 3. It is also possible to stop accurately.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. Since the basic structures of the rail 1, traveling body 4 and panel body 6 are the same as those of the first embodiment, The same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. In the present embodiment, a detection sensor 17 for driving the sounding body 7 is provided.
Is provided at a position where the detection unit 16 of the traveling body 4 comes into contact with the traveling body 4 when the traveling body 4 reaches a predetermined turning point of the direction changing unit 3, and before the detection unit 16 comes into contact with the detection sensor 17. In order to generate a warning sound for recognizing the approach, the same detection sensors 19 as described above are provided at the end of the traveling rail portion 2 or near the entrance of the direction changing portion 3. Here, the sounding body that generates a sound by the displacement of the detection sensor 19 can share the sounding body 7,
A sounding body 20 is mounted on the upper end of the traveling rail 2 close to the detection sensor 19. Again,
In order to propagate the sound generated from the sounding body 20 downward,
It is preferable to provide a through hole (not shown) on the upper surface of the traveling rail portion 2.

Further, the sounding body 20 generates a sound having a different timbre or frequency from the sounding body 7 so that a notice sound by the sounding body 20 and a sound by the sounding body 7 can be distinguished. Is preferred. Furthermore, at the same time when the sound is generated by the sounding body 7 or the sounding body 20, light is generated by a light emitting diode or the like, so that the position of the traveling body 4 can be visually recognized.

[0021]

As described above, in the hanging type movable panel device of the present invention, a rail having at least one direction change portion is disposed on the ceiling, and a pair of rails running along the rail is spaced apart. In the hanging type movable panel device in which both ends of the panel body are hung via a hanging shaft rotatable around the traveling body, when each traveling body reaches a predetermined direction turning point in the direction changing unit. In addition, a detection unit provided on the traveling body or the panel body is detected by a detection sensor provided on the rail, and a sounding body that generates a sound when the detection sensor detects the detection unit is provided. The operator can be notified by sound that the vehicle has reached the predetermined turning point of the turning section, and it is an obstacle for the traveling body to pass through the turning section or to change its direction at the turning section to proceed. Since it does not have any structure, Traveling body is able pass through or diverted smoothly in part.

Further, if a sound is generated when the detection sensor detects the detecting section when each traveling body approaches or approaches or reaches a predetermined turning point, the traveling body can reach the turning point. Since the warning sound can be generated before the vehicle arrives, the traveling body can be stopped at an accurate position of the turning point by decelerating the movement of the panel body upon hearing the warning sound.

Further, the sounding body is disposed above the upper surface plate of the direction changing portion, and a through hole is formed in the upper surface plate to allow the sound generated by the sounding body to propagate downward, thereby producing sound. The sound generated from the body can be recognized by the operator without attenuating.
