Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a movable partition device that dramatically improves the degree of freedom in partitioning a three-dimensional space using movable walls.

In general, it is desirable for conference halls, wedding halls, etc. to be able to vary the size, shape, etc. of the rooms depending on the number of participants. Also, in museums, exhibition halls, etc., if the shape and partitions of rooms can be changed to suit the number, type, and atmosphere of exhibits, the viewing effect will be significantly increased. This request led to the idea of a movable wall, in which the wall is moved, transported, and installed by being suspended from a hanging wheel that runs on a hanger rail installed in the ceiling of a room. and
Ideally, it would be possible to move and install it in any position and direction along the hanger rail, but in reality, the moving wall does not run on the floor, but rather is suspended from the ceiling. Accordingly, there are various restrictions on the running direction, running trajectory, etc. First, a conventional movable partition device will be explained. As shown in FIG. 1, a movable wall is suspended parallel to the hanger rail 1 by hanging bolts 3, 3 from hanging wheels 2, 2 running on the hanger rail 1. 4
can run parallel to the moving wall 4 as shown by the arrow x, and this is called sliding.
As shown in the figure, the movable wall 4 suspended by the hanging wheels 2, 2 running on the two hanger rails 1a, 1a can run in the direction perpendicular to the movable wall 4, which is indicated by the arrow x. Although it is called a branching rail, the moving wall changes from sliding to running state. That is, as is clear from FIG. 3, after the movable wall 6 suspended by the hanging wheels 5, 5 which are bent at the center runs in the direction of the arrow Y1 on the straight rail ₇ (sliding run). , hanging wheels 5, 5 are traveling in a bending manner at branch points 8, 8,
The vehicle travels on the branch rails 9, 9 in the direction of arrow _Y2 (running travel), then bends at a bending point 10 and a branch point 11 and shifts to sliding travel in the direction of arrow _Y3 .

Conventional moving wall hanger rails mainly use a running system that combines sliding and running as described above, and as shown in FIG.
Bent rails 14, 14, 14 for running or sliding are arranged in a continuous combination,
The movable walls 16, 16, .
4 and 14 _{, the layout in the direction of arrow z1 can} be done quite freely. There was almost no freedom to move in the direction of arrow _z2 , and it was completely impossible to arrange a movable wall between each hanger rail (at a position such as the movable wall 17).

The present invention makes it possible to arrange a movable wall, which was impossible with the conventional method of laying a movable wall hanger rail. In the partitioning device, a straight hanger rail exclusively for running is perpendicular to both the sliding running portion and the running running portion of the continuous bending hanger rail, which allows the movable wall to alternately perform sliding running and running running. A hanging wheel for suspending a movable wall is constructed of a hanging wheel body having a moving wall hanging member, and a front body and a rear body that are bendably connected to the front and rear of the hanging wheel body,
This movable partitioning device is characterized in that rotary wheels rolling on hanger rails are arranged on the left and right sides of the hanging wheel main body, the front car body, and the rear car body, respectively, to double the degree of freedom of space partitioning. To provide a movable partition device in which a hanging wheel can run smoothly even when hanger rails are orthogonal to each other.

Next, embodiments embodying the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings starting from FIG.
Here, FIG. 5 is an example of a case where movable walls are arranged in a hanger rail network according to an embodiment, and FIG.
Fig. 7 is a plan view and an A-A sectional view of the orthogonal rail used for the orthogonal part of the hanger rail, and Fig. 8
The figure is a perspective view of a hanging wheel that can be used in the same embodiment.

In FIG.
Bent hanger rails 23a, 23b, 23c, and 23d that can run or slide are continuously connected and laid on the ceiling of the large room 22, which is partitioned off. , 23c, 23d have orthogonal portions 24, 24, .
It is laid across the large room 22 from the wall bag 21 to the wall bag 21. Therefore, the movable walls 27, 27, .
Movable walls 28, 28, 2 exclusively for running suspended on the parallel straight hanger rails 25a, 25b
9, 29, and 29 can be freely moved in the direction of arrow v, and can be installed at any desired location. The above-mentioned straight section 24,
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the cross-shaped hanger rail 30 connecting the bent hanger rail 23a, etc. and the straight hanger rails 25a, 25b at 24, . C-shaped cross section rail 32 with 31 at the bottom
a, 32b, 32c, 32d to the outer surface 33
A cross road is formed by joining cut surfaces 34, 34 cut at 45 degrees, respectively, and the openings 35 between the rail parts 31, 31 intersect vertically and horizontally at the center G of the cross road. There is. The L-shaped pins 36, 36, . . ., of which only one is shown and the others are omitted, are inserted into pin insertion holes 37, 37, . L-shaped side pages 38, 38, ... are C
They are inserted into vertical grooves 40, 40 provided in the left and right side plates 39, 39 of the character-shaped rails 32a, 32b, 32c, 32d, respectively, to reinforce the above-mentioned cross-shaped connecting portions.

Next, a movable wall hanging wheel that is most suitable for traveling on the hanger rail network including the above-mentioned crossroads will be introduced using FIG. A hanging wheel main body 44 into which a hanging member 43 made of a hanging bolt or the like for hanging the movable wall 42 is vertically fitted, and pins 45, 4 fitted vertically into the front and rear ends of the hanging wheel main body 44.
It is comprised of a front vehicle body 46 and a rear vehicle body 47, which are engaged with the suspension vehicle body 44 and provided to be freely bendable with respect to the suspension vehicle body 44.
47 are three rows of rotating wheels 48a, 48a, 48b, which are in contact with the rail portions 31, 31 on the left and right, respectively.
48b, 48c, and 48c, and the interval k of the rotating wheels in the rail direction is set to be wider than the width m of the opening 35 between the rail parts 31, 31.

Furthermore, the square column-shaped idler wheels 49 rotatably attached to the lower end of the hanging member 43 are rotatably connected to the lower surface 51 of the idler rail 50 provided on the upper part of the movable wall 42, two each on the left and right sides of the idler wheels 49. wheels 52,5
2, 52, and 52, it is movably housed within the floating rail 50. Therefore, the hanging wheel 4 suspends the movable wall 42 via the hanging member 43, the idler wheel 49, and the like.

As described above, the present invention is a movable partition device in which a movable wall is suspended from a hanger rail installed on the ceiling and is moved and arranged, in which the movable wall can alternately perform sliding motion and running motion. A straight hanger rail dedicated for running is laid perpendicular to both the sliding traveling section and the running traveling section of the hanger rail, and the hanging wheel for hanging the moving wall is connected to the hanging wheel body having the moving wall hanging member. , consisting of a front car body and a rear car body that are bendably connected to the front and rear of the hanging car body, and rotary wheels that roll on hanger rails are arranged on the left and right sides of the hanging car body, front car body, and rear car body, respectively. This is a mobile partitioning device with a unique feature, which has succeeded in dramatically doubling the degree of freedom of three-dimensional space partitioning using moving walls compared to conventional devices.
In the case of a four-wheel suspended vehicle as shown in FIG. 3, when the suspended vehicle crosses the crossroads formed at the orthogonal portions of the hanger rails, the wheels fall into the openings between the rail parts and become unable to run, but in the present invention, the suspended vehicle itself The front and rear car bodies are connected in a bendable manner, and a total of three rows of rotating wheels are installed on each side, so even if one row of rotating wheels falls into the opening, the remaining two rows will The wheels support the load of the moving wall and can smoothly pass over the intersection of the hanger rails without imparting harmful vibrations to the moving wall.
