Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a panel attachment device for window equipment such as a window ventilation fan that is attached to a window frame together with a mounting frame.

When installing a window ventilation fan, which is a window device, on a window frame, the mounting frame is slidably attached to the window ventilation fan, and the mounting frame is slidably adjusted to match the height of the window frame. The panel is fixed to the ventilation fan, and the panel is attached to the mounting frame so as to close the space formed by the mounting frame.

Conventionally, when attaching a panel to a mounting plate, a large number of elongated panel strips having a small-diameter connecting portion on one side and a large-diameter connecting portion on the other side are provided to attach the panel to the mounting frame. A bendable panel is constructed by fitting and connecting small-diameter connecting portions of a number of panel strips corresponding to the size of the space to large-diameter connecting portions, and both side ends of this panel constitute the mounting frame. It is inserted and fitted from above into fitting grooves formed on mutually opposing surfaces of a pair of support columns.

However, with the above conventional configuration, the assembly work is troublesome because a large number of panel strips must be connected and assembled, and when the panel is fitted into the fitting groove of the mounting frame, the small-diameter connecting portion and the large-diameter Since the connecting parts are easily misaligned, it becomes troublesome to attach the panel to the mounting frame.Furthermore, since the small-diameter connecting parts and the large-diameter connecting parts overlap, a large amount of panel material is required, which is generally expensive. There was a serious problem.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to slidably attach a mounting frame having a fitting groove on the mutually opposing surfaces of a pair of mutually opposing frame members to a window device. In order to close the space formed by the frame, a panel is provided whose both side ends are fitted into the fitting grooves of the pair of frame members and has a soft part in the center that is substantially parallel to the frame members, and both side ends of the panel are provided. By fitting the panel into the fitting groove of the pair of frame members by bending the panel at its soft part and attaching the panel, there is no need to assemble the panel and the work of attaching the panel to the attachment frame is simplified. To provide a panel mounting device for window equipment that is simple, does not waste material because the panel is a single plate, and can be made at low cost overall.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 designates a well-known window ventilation fan, which is a window device, and includes a support frame 2. The support frame 2 has insertion holes (not shown) extending vertically at both left and right ends thereof.

A support plate 3 having a front upright piece 3a and a rear upright piece 3b bent at the front and rear sides, respectively, is fixed to the upper end of the support frame 2. At both left and right ends of 3, there are insertion holes 4, 4 that communicate with the insertion holes of the support frame 2.
A presser portion 5 is formed on the upper side of the front upright piece 3a so as to bulge rearward.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a mounting frame, which is constructed by bridging and fixing a horizontal frame 8 to the upper ends of pillars 7, 7, which are a pair of frame members facing each other.

The pillars 7, 7 are extruded from aluminum into a rectangular cylindrical shape, for example, and have fitting grooves 7a, 7a formed in their mutually opposing surfaces so as to extend vertically and narrow at the deep end. The horizontal frame 8 is integrally molded from plastic, for example, and has a fitting strip 9 protruding from its upper surface that fits into a fitting groove of a lintel in a window frame (not shown), and a bottom surface from which both left and right ends are formed. A regulating strip 10 is provided so as to protrude so that its portion faces the fitting grooves 7a, 7a.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a cover member to be attached to the upper end portions of the front surfaces of the pillars 7, 7 as will be described later, and a presser portion 12 is formed at the lower side of the cover member so as to bulge rearward.

The lower ends of the columns 7, 7 of this mounting frame 6 are connected to the support plate 3.
So-called support columns 7, 7 are slidably inserted through the insertion holes 4, 4 into the support frame 2 and through holes (not shown) so as to be vertically adjustable in length.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a presser member having protruding pieces 13a and 13b formed on the upper and lower sides by bending, and regulating pieces 14 and 14 are cut and raised at a predetermined interval on the protruding piece 13H. There is.

The presser member 13 is arranged such that its left and right ends are located within the fitting grooves 7a, 7a of the support columns 7, 7, and the presser member 13 is provided with the support plate 3 in front of the support plate 3. A screw 15.15 is inserted through the piece 3a.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a plate-shaped panel made of plastic having a width slightly smaller than the left and right widths of the mounting frame 6, and the central part thereof is vertically parallel to both left and right end parts. The soft part 17 is made of an elongated soft plastic, and the back side has a plurality of V-shaped cross-sectional strips extending left and right to be substantially orthogonal to the soft part 17 and spaced apart from each other at regular intervals vertically. A cutting groove 18 is formed, and each portion divided by this cutting groove 18 is defined as a panel piece portion 19.

Next, a case will be described in which the panel 16 is attached to the attachment frame 6 in the above configuration.

First, the lower end of the support frame 2 of the window ventilation fan 1 is placed on the sill of a window frame (not shown), and then the mounting frame 6 is slid up and down with respect to the support frame 2 according to the height of the window frame. The fitting strip 9 is fitted into the fitting groove of the lintel in the window frame by adjusting the movement, and in this state, the screws 15 and 15 are screwed into the holding member 13 and tightened.

Then, when the screws 15, 15 are tightened, the holding member 13 moves relatively to the front side, and the protruding pieces 13a,
The tip of 13b is the fitting groove 7a, 7a in the pillars 7, 7.
As a result, the front surfaces of the struts 7, 7 are pressed against the back surface of the front upright piece 3a of the support plate 3 and the front side edges of the insertion holes 4, 4. 7, 7's vertical sliding is restricted.

Thus, when the columns 7, 7 and therefore the mounting frame 6 are restrained and fixed to the support frame 2 as described above, the mounting frame 6 forms a space 20 that communicates between the indoor (front side) and the outdoor (rear side). However, in this case, if the height of this space 20 is L, the panel pieces are arranged so that the panel 16 is smaller than the height by approximately -coordination of the panel piece 19. Part 19 This panel piece part 1 is cut out to remove the part below a.
The height is adjusted by cutting with a knife or the like along the cutting line 18a corresponding to the upper side of 9a.

Furthermore, the panel 16 whose height has been adjusted in this way is elastically deformed in a curved manner from the soft part 17 in the center so that the soft part 17 protrudes forward, and the right and left ends of the panel 16 are attached to the pillars 7, 7 into the fitting grooves 7a, 7a, and then the bending deformation force on the panel 16 is released.

Then, when the panel 16 is restored to a flat plate shape, the left and right end portions of the fitting grooves 7a, 7a have wide portions 7b, 7b on the open side and narrow portions 7c on the inner side.

7C, it is guided to the inner side by the inclined parts 7d, 7d, and comes to fit into the narrow parts 7c, 7c.

Thereafter, when the pallet 16 is moved downward, its lower end surface is placed on the upper surface of the protruding piece 13H of the holding member 13, and its lower end is held between the regulating piece 14.14 and the holding part 5 of the support plate 3. Fixed.

Further, when the panel 16 is moved downward as described above, a small space corresponding to approximately the alignment of the panel pieces 19 is formed between the upper end of the panel 16 and the lower surface of the horizontal frame 8. However, the cover member 11 is attached to the front upper end of the pillars 7, 7 with screws 21, 21 so as to close this small space.

As a result, the upper end of the panel 16 is connected to the regulating strip 1 of the horizontal frame 8.
0 and the presser portion 12 of the cover member 11 to be clamped and fixed.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the soft portion 17 is formed in the center of the panel 16 so as to be parallel to the right and left end portions, that is, the support columns 7.7 of the mounting frame 6.
Since the left and right end portions are inserted and fitted into the fitting grooves 7a, 7a of the support columns 7, 7 by elastically curving the panels, unlike the conventional method, a large number of panel strips can be connected. There is no need to assemble the panels, and there is no problem of the panel strips being displaced during installation to the mounting frame, which makes the installation work troublesome, and the work of installing the panel 16 to the mounting frame 6 is extremely simple. Furthermore, unlike conventional panels, the panel 16 is in the form of a single plate without any overlapping connecting parts, so there is no wastage of material and it can be manufactured at low cost overall.

Moreover, according to this embodiment, when the panel 16 is attached to the mounting frame 6, its lower end is clamped and fixed between the regulating pieces 14, 14 of the holding member 13 and the holding part 5 of the support plate 3, and the upper end The regulating strip 10 of the horizontal frame 8 and the holding part 1 of the cover member 11
Since the panel 16 is clamped and fixed between the panels 2 and 2, even if an external force is applied to the front side (indoor side) or the rear side (indoor side) of the panel 16, it will not be easily bent and deformed, and the mounting condition can be sufficiently ensured. Ru.

In addition, according to this embodiment, the cutting groove 18 for adjusting the height of the panel 16 is formed so as to be substantially perpendicular to the soft part 17 in the center, so that the panel 16 can be attached to the mounting frame 6. No cutting force is applied to the cutting groove 18 when the cutting groove 18 is curved and deformed to be attached to the cutting groove 18, and no unnecessary damage occurs.

In the above embodiment, the mounting frame 6 is attached to the upper part of the support plate 2, but the same can be applied even when the mounting frame is attached to the lower part. The same applies when installing.

In addition, the present invention is not limited only to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, but can be modified as appropriate without departing from the gist, such as being applicable not only to window ventilation fans but also to window equipment in general. Of course, it can be implemented.

As explained above, the present invention does not require assembly of the panel, the work of attaching the panel to the mounting frame is easy, and since the panel is made of a single plate, there is no wastage of material, and it is generally inexpensive. It is possible to provide a panel mounting device for window equipment that achieves practical effects such as obtaining.
