Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention makes it possible to move a hanging shaft, which is a so-called runner, in any direction, thereby preventing the moving wall from being inclined and simplifying the structure. The present invention relates to a moving wall adjusting device.

<Conventional technology and its problems> In general, in an exhibition hall for art works, a conference room, a wedding hall, etc., if the partition of the room as a hall can be changed according to its type, form or atmosphere, etc. Although preferred, the result of such a request is a moving wall. The moving wall is suspended from the ceiling by two or more suspension shafts called runners which run on traveling rails laid on the ceiling (more precisely, the lower surface of the floor immediately above the floor).

However, when the moving wall is moved along the hanger rail, and when the moving wall is moved on one common hanger rail, the distance between the two runners is always constant in principle, but, for example, parallel. Even when the vehicle is suspended on two hanger rails, if the moving wall is pushed by hand, the point of force is not always applied to the center of gravity of the moving wall, but rather the center of gravity is rather overwhelming. Therefore, the moving wall can be tilted so that either the left or right side moves ahead. Therefore, if the runner is fixed to the moving wall, the moving wall cannot be moved. This means that it is not easy to change the direction along the hanger rails arranged vertically and horizontally like a go board, so that at least one of the runners can usually change its position on the moving wall. Thus, the distance between the two runners was configured to be variable.

Examples of such a structure include:
There is an adjusting device for a moving wall as disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 16462, but this device has at least one on each of the left and right, a total of 2 devices.
The wheels are configured as a pair. Then, these left and right wheels are run while pressing against the lower surface of the guide rail disposed at the upper end of the moving wall, but unless the left and right wheels are in horizontal contact with the guide rail. However, the verticality of the moving wall is not maintained, that is, it becomes ugly when it is inclined. Therefore, when mounting the wheels, extremely high precision is required for the axles and guide rails of the wheels, and the work requires skill. And this wheel is 1 on each side
In fact, not only two pairs in total but also two pairs in total (eight in total) are usually required continuously (distribution of load), so that the assembly is further complicated. Not only that, in the case of disposing such wheels, there is an added complexity that the guide rail must be provided with a long hole for enabling the movement of the moving wall adjusting device, and this long hole is also required. It must be straight, and the accuracy of this slot shape must be increased, but the biggest problem is that it requires a guide rail.

Also, as a solution to some of these complications,
For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 58-98579 proposes a device which is supported at one point by a pulley-shaped guide wheel. Although the requirements for precision in that part are relaxed, the mechanism is extremely complicated,
The fundamental problem had not been solved. The reason why this has not been put into practical use seems to be that.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the inventor of the present invention connected the suspension shafts, drilled shaft holes in both side pieces of the support having a U-shaped cross section, A wheel receiving member is disposed in the U-shaped space, and a long hole for inserting a wheel is formed in the wheel receiving member in a lateral direction, and the wheel is disposed in a shaft hole of the support. Supported by the axle, and fixed to the moving wall to the wheel receiving member, the support by the wheel as one point, eliminating the conventionally required guide rails, and the drilling of long holes in the guide rails, etc., Therefore, we have developed a moving wall adjustment device (see Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 62-135767) which can respond to changes in the width of the running rail while simplifying the structure. Because the wheel receiving member was fixed to the moving wall as described above The runner, the longitudinal direction of the moving wall is also obtained by moving the thickness direction or the oblique direction or the like is to have a structure which can not be moved. This point is exactly the same in the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-16462 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-98579, but if the runner cannot move in the thickness direction of the moving wall as described above. Then, there was a problem that the following requests could not be met. That is, when storing the moving wall, the storing place may be an independent storage or the wall surface of the fixed wall of the room, but for example, if it is the wall surface of the fixed wall, after storing the moving wall, In order to secure a large space in the room, the moving wall must be in close contact with the fixed wall. However, for this purpose, the hanger rail must be disposed along the wall surface of the fixed wall with an interval at which one surface of the moving wall is in close contact. Then, in this case, when the moving wall is moved along the hanger rail, one surface of the moving wall moves while being in contact with the wall surface of the fixed wall, so that both contact surfaces are damaged. It will be. Therefore, in order to avoid this, the hanger rail is disposed with an interval such that the wall surface of the fixed wall does not contact the moving wall, and the moving wall is moved along the hanger rail, and then the storage position is set. In this case, it is only necessary to be able to move laterally on the wall surface of the fixed wall in the direction orthogonal to the hanger rail.

These facts are exactly the same when this moving wall is used as a sound insulation door. That is, the sound insulation door must be in close contact with the frontage, but also in this case, the moving wall is moved in parallel to the frontage so as not to contact the wall surface of the fixed wall and reaches the entire frontage. At this point, it is preferable to make a lateral movement in the frontage direction.

Furthermore, if the runner is not allowed to move not only in the longitudinal direction and the thickness direction of the moving wall but also in the oblique direction, which can be called the middle between the longitudinal direction and the thickness direction, as described above, It is not enough to respond.

<Means for Solving the Problems> Therefore, the adjusting device for a moving wall according to the present invention connects a rotatable hanging shaft and drills a shaft hole in both side pieces of a support member formed in a U-shaped cross section. A wheel receiving member is disposed in the U-shaped space of the support, and a long hole for inserting a wheel is formed in the wheel receiving member in a lateral direction. The axle provided in the shaft hole supports the axle, and the wheel receiving member is rotatably provided on the moving wall, or the shapes of the support and the wheel receiving member and the hole for the wheel drilled in them. By changing the shape, the moving direction of the runner can be freely set in relation to the hanger rail.

Is usually suspended by two suspension shafts, one of which is not shown in the drawings shown in this embodiment, but is directly connected to the moving wall. (Note that the components shown in this embodiment may be provided on both sides.)

<Operation of Embodiment I> However, when moving the hanger rails parallel to each other linearly, it is the same as the conventional one, but during movement, the moving wall W is inclined and the distance between the two suspension shafts is increased. However, in this case, the wheel 7 does not change its relative position with respect to the shaft hole 3 of the support 1, and the wheel receiving member 4
The wheel receiving member 4 does not change its position because it is rotatable at the upper end of the moving wall W but does not change its position. However, since the long hole 5 formed in the vertical wall 6 of the wheel receiving member 4 is formed to be long in the lateral direction, the phenomenon that the wheel receiving member 4 moves with respect to the axle 8 and the wheel 7 is exhibited. The support 1 is moved by the wheels 7 with respect to the wheel receiving member 4, that is, changes in position. That is, when the suspension shaft 2 moves with the change of the width of the hanger rail, the support 1 also moves within the range of the long axis of the long hole 5 in relation to the moving wall W.
