Description

Partition connecting member having a separation pin and a partition having the same

The present invention relates to a partition having a connecting member having a separation pin and a partition having such a connecting member to easily release the coupling of the partition connecting member using a magnet.

In general, in installing a partition in an office space, etc., it is necessary to connect a plurality of partition panels, and frame connection elements are used for orthogonal connection or length extension of partition panels.

Normally, the connection of partitions is made by mechanical connection between adjacent panel frames. The frame is used by injecting plastic or molding it in metal. In the case of plastic, it is usually manufactured by pultrusion and injection molding, so a method of inserting a strap into the grooves of adjacent frames is often used.

On the other hand, in the case of a metal frame with a large load, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient binding force with a conventional strap, so a connecting element such as a bolt is used. As one of several connection elements that have been developed in pursuit of handling convenience and increase in assembly rigidity, the present applicant has proposed a connection member using a minifix and a pair of permanent magnets in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1665940.

Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-1665940 (2016.10.07)

The connection member proposed by the applicant of the present invention is a method in which a pair of magnets come closer to each other by magnetic force and fix by biting the recessed groove of the minifix, which has the advantage of improving assembly rigidity while showing quick and convenient assembly. On the other hand, in order to separate the installed minifix, a separate separation tool with a slope at the tip is required.

This separation tool is required to have a specific shape with a constant thickness and inclination according to the diameter of the separation hole provided in the connection member and the size of the permanent magnet holding the minifix. Therefore, when trying to separate a partition that has been in use for a while, there are many cases in which an appropriate separation tool is not available, and as a substitute for it, an arbitrary tool such as an awl or a screwdriver is used, so that the minifix is not properly released or the connection member is damaged. There are concerns that various problems such as breakage may occur.

The present invention is intended to solve these problems and proposes a connecting member equipped with a separation pin that facilitates separation of permanent magnets.

Other detailed objects of the present invention will be clearly identified and understood by experts or researchers in the art through the specific contents described below.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention, as an embodiment, fixes a minifix in which a belt-shaped depression is formed around the outer circumferential surface, and is formed in a direction crossing the mounting hole and a mounting hole into which the minifix is inserted. a body portion having a side hole partially overlapping the mounting hole and a separation hole communicating with a part where the mounting hole and the side hole meet, a body portion mounted in the side hole, and the mini The distance between a pair of actuators that move close to each other at the position of the recessed groove of the fix to fix the minifix and a pair of actuators that are mounted to be movable up and down in the depth direction of the separation hole and fix the minifix. Suggests a partition connecting member including a separation pin that spreads.

On the other hand, the separation pin includes a body having an inclined surface contacting the actuator at its lower end, and a head connected to the upper part of the body in the form of a lampshade and having an actuation protrusion protruding from an outer circumferential surface. An operating hole is formed to accommodate the operating protrusion and accommodate the operating protrusion at a first position or at a second position lower than the first position to fix the height of the separating pin when the separation pin moves up and down. It can be.

In addition, the separation hole includes a first section recessed from the inlet and a second section further recessed at the center of the bottom of the first section, and is provided with a guide protrusion rising upward from the bottom of the first section, and the head As the separating pin descends, a guide groove may be formed to move the actuating protrusion from the first position to the second position while contacting the guide protrusion.

Furthermore, a support protrusion having a support surface inclined upward is formed on the inner wall of the first section, and as the operating protrusion descends further downward than the second position, the operating protrusion is formed on the head. An elastic support piece may be provided to elastically support the support surface so as to be restored toward the first position.

Meanwhile, an upper end of the separation pin may have a non-flat surface, and an upper end of the separation pin may be positioned higher than a periphery of the separation hole at an insertion depth of the separation pin according to the second position.

Furthermore, when the separation pin is in the second position, a force for lifting the separation pin may be applied by the actuator pressing the inclined surface.

On the other hand, a partition including a frame constituting the frame, a partition connecting member having the above-described characteristics mounted on the frame, and a panel coupled to the frame is proposed.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, separation of the installed partition is performed very conveniently and quickly.

If it can be interpreted from the point of view of an expert belonging to this technical field that some or all of the figures shown in the drawings are not inevitably required for the practice of the invention, this does not limit the invention described in the claims.

1 relates to a partition according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The partition 200 of the illustrated embodiment includes a frame 210 constituting a frame, a connecting member 100 detachably coupled to frames of other partitions, and a panel 230 forming a front surface of the frame.

The frame 210 is a combination of an injection molded or drawn profile 220 or a shaped steel, and the profiles 220 are used at least at both ends of the partition 200. A mounting position for installing the connecting member 100 is formed in the profile 220 . The profile can be manufactured with a C-shaped cross section to increase structural rigidity, and various assembly holes are formed to combine additional parts such as a panel, a height adjusting member, and an upper finishing member to the profile.

The panel 230 is attached to the front or rear surface of the frame 210, and the material, pattern, pattern, etc. may be variously changed as is well known.

A plurality of connecting members 100 are mounted on the profile 220 constituting the side of the partition 200 . The minifix 300 is used to connect partitions in which the connecting members 100 are mounted at equal heights.

The minifix 300 is a short rod-like member, both ends of which have a conical shape, and recessed grooves 310 are formed around the outer circumferential surface of the distal end. Both ends of the minifix 300 symmetrical with respect to the center are fixed by the connecting member 100, respectively, to combine adjacent partitions.

2 to 3 relate to the main configuration of the connecting member according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The connecting member 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a body 10 that is mounted on a frame and accommodates the minifix 300, an actuator 20 that fixes the minifix 300, and fixes the minifix. It includes a separation pin 30 that releases the fixation of the minifix 300 by moving the actuator 20 in a position to another position.

The body part 10 is a body that is fixed to the frame, and includes a mounting hole 11 to which minifix is mounted, a side hole 12 penetrating the mounting hole 11 in a direction (x direction in the drawing), and a mounting hole. A separation hole 13 is formed in the vertical direction (z direction in the drawing) communicating with the portion where the 11 and the side hole 12 meet.

At this time, since the central line of the cross section of the side hole 12 is located higher than the central line of the cross section of the mounting hole 11, a portion of the mounting hole 11 and the side hole 12 overlap.

The operating body 20 is a cylindrical permanent magnet that is inserted into the side hole 12 and can slide in the longitudinal direction of the side hole 12 . The actuators 20 inserted into the side holes 12 on the left and right sides of the body 10 always try to move in the direction of being attracted to each other by gravitational force.

Referring to FIG. 3 , due to the stopper protrusion 121 formed at the overlapping portion of the mounting hole 11 and the side hole 12, the actuators 20 entering the side hole 12 do not contact each other, and the minimum of the separation distance is maintained.

Afterwards, as the conical tip of the minifix 300 entering the mounting hole 11 and the actuator 20 contact each other, the two actuators 20 are pushed away from each other, and the minifix 300 moves between them through the mounting hole ( 11) You will be able to enter more inside.

The two actuators 20, which have been separated, reach the recessed groove 310 of the minifix 300 and are moved close to each other. That is, while the two actuators 20 are inserted into the depression groove 310 of the minifix (refer to (a) of FIG. 7), the minifix 300 is fixed so that it cannot enter or fall any further.

In order to separate the minifix 300 fixed in this way, the actuators 20 that are close to each other should be sufficiently widened (refer to (b) of FIG. 7). To this end, a separation hole 13 exposing the actuators 20 that are close to each other and a separation pin 30 inserted into the separation hole 13 to widen the distance between the actuators 20 are used.

4 relates to a split pin. (a) and (b) of FIG. 4 are oblique views of the separation pin, (c) is a side view, and (d) is a rear view.

The separation pin 30 of the illustrated embodiment has a structure having a body 31 and a head 32, and the body 31 has a rod shape and is squeezed between the actuators 20 at the lower end to An inclined surface 311 is formed to increase the interval of the.

The head 32 is provided in the form of a lampshade covered on top of the body 31, and the side circumference of the head 32 is spaced apart from the body 31 in a cylindrical body having a predetermined thickness.

An operating protrusion 33 protrudes from the outer circumferential surface of the head 32 . Slits 321 are formed on the left and right sides of the operating protrusion 33 in the vertical direction, so that the operating protrusion 33 protrudes larger than the inner diameter of the separation hole 13, even though the operating protrusion 33 is The separation pin 30 can be mounted in the separation hole 13 while being moderately elastically deformed.

Furthermore, the head 32 is provided with an elastic support piece 34 on one side of the operating protrusion 33 . The elastic support piece 34 is formed by a cutout 322 cut vertically around the side surface of the head 32 . The elastic support piece 34 is connected to the ceiling of the head 32 in the form of a cantilever so that bending and elastic deformation are possible.

Meanwhile, a guide groove 35 having an inclined inner wall 351 is formed around the head 32 . The guide groove 35 has a shape cut in a substantially triangular shape from the lower end of the head, and the inner wall 351 of the guide groove may be a curved surface.

Based on the center of the body 31, the azimuth at which the actuating protrusion 33, the elastic support piece 34, and the guide groove 35 are formed may vary from embodiment to embodiment, and depending on the embodiment, the actuation protrusion 33 or The elastic support piece 34 may be omitted.

Furthermore, the upper end of the separation pin 30, that is, the upper end of the head 32 may be formed as a non-flat surface. In the illustrated embodiment, by forming an inclined surface with a raised center, the user can determine in which direction the separation pin is currently rotated without directly looking at the operating protrusion through the operating hole formed in the body portion. .

Furthermore, referring to FIG. 7 , when the separation pin 30 is mounted on the body 10, the upper end of the separation pin 30 is exposed to the outside. In particular, in order to release the fixation of the actuator 20, even when the separation pin 30 is deeply inserted into the separation hole 13, the upper end of the separation pin 30 is still located higher than the periphery of the separation hole 13. will be. Accordingly, even in a situation where the body 31 of the separation pin 30 is bitten between the actuators, the user can forcibly withdraw the separation pin 30 by gripping the upper end of the head 32.

5 and 6 relate to the detailed structure of the separation hole provided in the body.

The separation hole 13 is provided with an operating hole 14 in which the operating protrusion 33 is accommodated, a support protrusion 14 in contact with the elastic support piece 34, and a guide protrusion 16 in contact with the inner wall of the guide groove. . Here, the support protrusion 14 or the guide protrusion 16 may be provided in the separation hole or omitted depending on whether the separation pin 30 is provided with the elastic support piece 34 or the guide groove 35 .

Furthermore, the separation hole 13 starts from the inlet and continues from the first section 13a where the head 32 of the separation pin 30 is accommodated, and from the bottom of the first section 13a to the connection point between the mounting hole and the side hole. and a second section 13b accommodating the body 31. The separation hole 13 is formed like a counterbore hole according to the difference in inner diameter between the first and second sections.

The operation hole 14 is formed on one side of the inner circumferential surface of the first section 13a and accommodates the operation protrusion 33 according to the installation of the separation pin 30 . In addition, by restricting the movement of the operating protrusion 33, the height of the separation pin 30 is temporarily fixed differently.

Referring to FIG. 6 , the operation hole 14 is located between the vertical space 141 and the vertical space 141 allowing the operation protrusion 33 to move up and down as the separation pin 30 moves up and down. It includes a locking space part 142 connected to one side of the vertical space part 141 in height. The sidewall 142a of the locking space 142 is formed as an oblique slope, so the cross section of the bottom of the operation hole 14 is the cross section of the middle height of the vertical space 141 connected to the top of the locking space 142 narrower than

Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7 (a), at a position where the body 31 of the separation pin 30 does not interfere with the actuator 20, that is, in a state where the separation pin 30 is raised to the maximum, the actuating protrusion ( 33) is located on the ceiling of the vertical space portion 141 of the operating hole (hereinafter referred to as 'first position p1').

As the separation pin 30 enters the separation hole 13 (descends based on the drawing), the operation protrusion 33 also descends down the operation hole 14 (hereinafter referred to as 'falling position p3'). ), the lower end of the body digs in between the actuators and pushes the two actuators away from each other.

Thereafter, the operating protrusion 33 moves to a position hung on the ceiling of the locking space 142 (hereinafter referred to as 'second position p2'), and the interference action of the body 31 that widens the gap between the operating bodies is maintained. do. That is, while the operating protrusion 33 stays at the second position p2, the user can separate the minifix 300 from the connecting member 100 with little force. In addition, a new minifix 300 may be inserted into the operation hole 14 vacated in this way.

The guide protrusion 16 is a protrusion that is erected in contact with the bottom and the inner circumferential surface of the first section 13a of the separation hole 13, and as the separation pin 30 descends, the inclined inner wall 351 of the guide groove 35 It comes into contact with the upper part of the guide protrusion 16. At this time, the upper part of the guide protrusion 16 is formed in a curved surface so that smooth sliding with the inner wall 351 of the guide groove 35 is achieved.

9 and 10 show schematic shapes of the circumference of the head 32 of the separation pin 30 and the inner circumferential surface of the first section 13a of the separation hole 13 developed on a plane. 9 is a sequential representation of a process in which the actuating protrusion moves from a first position to a second position as the separation pin moves downward, and FIG. 10 is a representation showing a process in which the actuating protrusion is restored from the second position to the first position. .

Referring to FIG. 9, as the separation pin 30 descends, the guide groove 35 also begins to descend (Fig. 9(a)), and the upper end of the guide protrusion 16 and the inclined inner wall of the guide groove ( 351) comes into contact (Fig. 9(b)).

As the separation pin 30 further descends due to the inclination of the inner wall 351 of the guide groove in contact with the guide protrusion 16, the separation pin 30 rotates clockwise with respect to the z-axis (Fig. b), the head part in (c) is moved to the left side of the drawing). Accordingly, the actuating protrusion 33 also moves in the horizontal direction within the mounting hole from the vertical space part to the engaging space part.

Thereafter, when the user slowly releases his/her hand from pressing the separation pin, the separation pin 30 rises and the operating protrusion 33 is moved to the second position p2, so that the separation pin 30 does not rise any more and is caught.

Here, the force to lift the separation pin 30 upward is generated as the actuators trying to get closer to each other push the inclined surface of the lower part of the body from both sides (see FIG. 7). Alternatively, an additional lifting force for pushing the separation pin 30 upward may be obtained by the elastic support piece 34 and the support protrusion 14 described later.

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 8 , the support protrusion 14 is capable of contacting the elastic support piece 34 and has a support surface 161 inclined upward toward the top. Like the guide protrusion 16, the support protrusion 14 is a protrusion formed in contact with the bottom and inner circumferential surface of the first section 13a of the separation hole 13.

Since the height of the support protrusion 14 is lower than that of the guide protrusion 16, the elastic support piece 34 is provided on the support surface of the support protrusion 14 only when the operating protrusion 33 goes down more than the second position. (161) (see (b) and (c) of FIG. 9).

When the operating protrusion 33 descends to a lowered position close to the bottom of the operating hole 14, the elastic support piece 34 provided in the form of a cantilever on the head 32 contacts the inclined support surface of the support protrusion 14. and elastically deformed (refer to FIG. 9(c) and FIG. 10(b)).

The restoring force of the elastically deformed elastic support piece 34 is in the direction of lifting the separation pin 30 (z-axis direction) and in the direction of horizontally moving the operating protrusion from the second position to the first position (with the z-axis as the rotation axis). in the direction of rotating the separator pin).

Accordingly, in FIG. 9 (c) and (d), when the user gradually releases the separation pin 30 pressed, the rotation of the separation pin 30, which returns the operating protrusion to the first position p1, is somewhat suppressed while the separation pin The actuating protrusion can be caught at the second position (p2) by raising (30). At this time, the restoring force of the elastic support piece 34 is additionally used to raise the separation pin 30, so that the user feels a more reliable operating feeling.

Referring to FIGS. 6 and 10 , a process of restoring the deeply inserted separation pin to its original height will be described.

When the user presses the separation pin 30 in a state in which the actuating protrusion 33 enters the second position p2 (refer to (a) of FIG. 10), the actuating protrusion 33 moves to the lowered position p3. At this time, the operating protrusion 33 rides down the inclined side surface 142a of the locking space 142, so that the separation pin 30 rotates counterclockwise (in FIG. 10(b), the separation pin 30) moved to the right of this drawing). At this time, as described above, the elastic support piece 34 comes into contact with the inclined support surface 161 of the support protrusion 14 and is elastically deformed.

Then, when the user suddenly releases his hand from pressing the separation pin 30, the separation pin 30 rises due to the restoring force of the elastic support piece 34, and the separation pin 30 rotates counterclockwise (FIG. 10 In (c) of (c), the direction in which the separation pin rises obliquely in the direction of the arrow).

Eventually, as the operating protrusion 33 returns to the first position p1, the separation pin 30 is also restored to its original height, so that the minifix can be firmly fixed by the operating bodies again.

In another embodiment in which the guide groove 35 or the elastic support piece 34 is not provided, the rotational operation of the separation pin 30 for moving the operating protrusion to the first and second positions is performed by a head rising higher than the body portion 10 ( 32), and the user can perform it himself.

The partition connecting member 100 and the partition 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be easily assembled only with the minifix 300 at the construction site after the partition assembly factory ships with the connecting member 100 already mounted. There are advantages to being

Since the separation pin 30 is already mounted on the connection member 100, the trouble of having to bring a separate separation tool when disassembling the assembled partition is eliminated. In addition, concerns about incomplete release of the actuator 20 or damage to the connection member 100, which may occur as the actuator 20 is unfastened with an arbitrary tool, are eliminated.

In addition, the fixation of the operating body 20 can be released or restored by simply pressing the separation pin 30 by the user. This simple operation method has the advantage of enabling the user to easily handle the connecting member 100 mounted inside the complex and narrow profile, in addition to user convenience.

Furthermore, even at the insertion depth of the separation pin according to the second position, the upper end of the separation pin 30 is exposed higher than the periphery of the separation hole 13, so even if the separation pin 30 is caught between the actuators 20, the user can The separation pin 30 can be easily returned.
