Description

  The present invention relates to a panel connecting member for connecting wall panels such as a partition panel or connecting a ceiling panel, a floor panel and a wall panel.

  Conventionally, a method as shown in FIG. 7 has been proposed for connecting a plurality of panels. That is, a substantially U-shaped connecting groove 31 whose outer surface is open is provided on both sides of the support column 30, and the cushioning material 32 is inserted into the connecting groove 31 and the side end of the panel 33 is inserted into the connecting groove 31. To be inserted. In this way, the two panels 33 and 33 can be connected via the support column 30 (see Patent Document 1).

  In the above construction method, in order to support all of a plurality of types of panels 33 having different thicknesses, a plurality of types of support columns 30 having connection grooves 31 corresponding to the thickness of each panel 33 are necessary. In addition, since it is formed of an extruded product of plastic, a mold corresponding to each type of support 30 is required, and there is a problem that the cost increases.

  Moreover, when using the said support | pillar 30 as a corner member, although the connection groove | channel 31 will be formed in two adjacent surfaces of the support | pillar 30, the metal mold | die for manufacturing the support | pillar 30 used as a corner member will be needed further. There was a problem of high cost.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, when the corners are formed by joining the side edges of the two panels 33, 33, the entrance corner member 34 and the exit corner member 35 are respectively formed at the entrance corner and the exit corner. It is done to attach. That is, the two panels 33, 33 are arranged by making the side end face of the other panel 33 face the end of the front side of the one panel 33 of the two panels 33, 33, and then the cross section A substantially L-shaped corner member 34 is disposed at the corner of the connecting portion of the two panels 33, 33, and thereafter, a fixture 10 such as a rivet or valve tight is placed on the side of both panels 33, 33. The panels 33 and 33 and the corner member 34 are fixed by driving into the end portions. Next, a heat insulating material 15 such as a urethane block is provided on the side end surfaces of the panels 33 and 33. This heat insulating material 15 is provided in order to supplement the heat insulation of the gap between the connection portions of the panels 33 and 33. Next, a projecting corner member 35 having a substantially L-shaped cross section is disposed at the projecting corner of the connecting portion of the two panels 33, 33, and thereafter, a fixture 10 such as a rivet or valve tight is placed on the panel 33 side. The panel 33 and the protruding corner member 35 are fixed by driving into the end portion. In this example, the panel 33 is formed by filling a heat insulating material 37 between two metal skins 36 and 36.

However, in the example shown in FIG. 8, since the entrance corner member 34 and the exit corner member 35 are fixed by a large number of fixtures 10, the workability is very poor, and the fixture 10 is exposed, so the appearance is also very good. There was a problem of being bad.

Moreover, the panel connecting member A and the panel 1 can be fixed by driving a small number of fixtures 10 inside the panel holding body 2 having a substantially U-shaped cross section, thereby improving workability and appearance. Is.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described.

  1A and 1B show an example of a corner member as the panel connection member A of the present invention. The panel connecting member A is formed by two panel holding bodies 2 and 2 and two connecting bodies 3 and 3.

  The panel holding body 2 has a pair of opposing sandwiching pieces 6 and 6 and a coupling piece 7 installed between one ends of the sandwiching pieces 6 and 6 and has a substantially U-shaped cross section. Of the two panel holding bodies 2, 2, the holding piece 6 of one panel holding body 2 a is formed longer than the holding piece 6 of the other panel holding body 2 b.

  The connecting body 3 has a pair of connecting pieces 8 and 8 and has a substantially L-shaped cross section. Of the two connecting bodies 3, 3, the connecting body 3 having the longer connecting piece 8 is formed as a projected corner side connecting body 3 a, and the connecting body having the shorter connecting piece 8. 3 is formed as an entrance corner side connection body 3b.

  And when manufacturing the panel connection member A, it carries out as follows. First, the outer surface of one holding piece 6 of one (the longer holding piece 6) is brought into contact with the outer surface of the coupling piece 7 of the other (the shorter holding piece 6) panel holding body 2b. In this way, the two panel holders 2a and 2b are arranged. Thereby, the opening direction of the two panel holding bodies 2a and 2b is made orthogonal. That is, the opening directions of the panel holding bodies 2a and 2b are arranged so as to be different from each other by 90 °.

  Next, the connection pieces 8 and 8 of the entrance corner side connection body 3b are arranged along the outer surface of the sandwiching piece 6 of one panel holding body 2a and the outer surface of the sandwiching piece 6 of the panel holding body 2b. Both ends of the connecting body 3b are bent toward the back surface side to form the locking portions 9 and 9, whereby the locking portions 9 and 9 are attached to the tip of one of the holding pieces 6 of the panel holding bodies 2a and 2b. Lock. Further, the outer corner side connection is made along the outer surface of the sandwiching piece 6 of one panel holding body 2a and the outer surface of the coupling piece 7 of one panel holding body 2a and the outer surface of the sandwiching piece 6 of the other panel holding body 2b. By disposing the connecting pieces 8 and 8 of the body 3a and bending the both end portions of the protruding corner side connecting body 3a toward the back surface side to form the locking portions 9 and 9, the locking portions 9 and 9 are The panel holding bodies 2a and 2b are locked to the tip of the other holding piece 6.

  In this way, by connecting the two panel holding bodies 2a and 2b with the two connecting bodies 3 and 3 (the protruding corner side connecting body 3a and the entering corner side connecting body 3b), the panel connecting member A of the present invention is input and output. It can be formed as a corner integrated corner member.

  In the panel connecting member A, the side end portion of the panel 1 is inserted between the sandwiching pieces 6 and 6 from the opening of one panel holding body 2a, and the sandwiching pieces 6 and 6 from the opening of the other panel holding body 2b. By inserting the side end of the other panel 1 between the two panels 1, the two panels 1, 1 can be connected substantially perpendicularly (orthogonally). The panel connecting member A is attached along the entire length of the side ends of the panels 1 and 1. When fixing the panel 1 to the panel connecting member A, as shown in FIG. 2, a fixing tool 10 such as a drill screw is screwed so as to penetrate the coupling piece 7 of one panel holding body 2a. It can be screwed into a side end portion of the panel 1 inserted into the other panel holding body 2b.

  In the panel connection member A of the present invention, a plurality of types of panel holding bodies 2 having different shapes such as the thickness of the panel holding body 2 and the length of the sandwiching pieces 6 are different, and the combination and number of these are changed. Thus, the panel connection member A having a desired shape can be easily manufactured, and even when used for a plurality of types of panels 1 having different thicknesses or used as corner members, the panel connection member A can be manufactured at low cost.

  Moreover, in said panel connection member A, both the exit corner and entrance corner of the connection part of the panels 1 and 1 connected at substantially right angle by the exit corner side coupling body 3a and the entrance corner side coupling body 3b are carried out at once. It can be constructed and has excellent workability. In addition, it is possible to connect the panels 1 and 1 at a low cost without separately providing a member for a corner and a corner, and when forming a member for a corner and a member for a corner separately. Compared with this, the strength can be increased.

  Moreover, in this invention, the panel holding body 2 and the connection body 3 can be formed by bending a metal plate, whereby the panel holding body 2 and the connection body 3 are made of an extruded product of aluminum or plastic. The panel holding body 2 and the connecting body 3 of various sizes and shapes can be easily formed without using a molding die as in the case of forming the sheet, and the combination and number of them are also required. It can easily be changed accordingly. Therefore, the panel connecting member A corresponding to various panels 1 can be easily formed, and even when used for a plurality of types of panels having different thicknesses or used as corner members, it can be inexpensively handled. is there. In the present invention, any metal plate that can be bent can be used without particular limitation. For example, a stainless steel plate, a galvanized steel plate, a coated steel plate, a carballium steel plate (registered trademark), and the like can be used.

  In addition, in this invention, when a clearance gap is formed in the connection part of the panels 1 and 1 (for example, between the side edge part of the panel 1, and the coupling piece 7, etc.), in order to supplement heat insulation, heat insulation, such as a urethane block The material can be filled into the gap.

  FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention. This panel connection member A is formed using two panel holding bodies 2 and 2 and two connecting bodies 3 and 3. The panel holder 2 is formed in the same manner as described above. The coupling bodies 3 and 3 are formed in a flat plate shape. And the panel holding bodies 2 and 2 are arrange | positioned so that the outer surfaces of the coupling pieces 7 and 7 contact | abut, the clamping pieces 6 and 6 of the both sides of the panel holding bodies 2 and 2 are connected with the connection bodies 3 and 3, respectively. It is formed by connecting. In this panel connection member A, since the openings of the panel holding bodies 2 and 2 are directed in opposite directions, the panels 1 and 1 can be connected in a straight line in the horizontal direction.

  FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention. This panel connection member A is formed by using three panel holding bodies 2, two connecting bodies 3 and 3 having a substantially L-shaped cross section, and one flat connecting body 3. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the panel connection member A is formed by using four panel holding bodies 2 and four connecting bodies 3 having a substantially L-shaped cross section. The method of connecting the panel holding body 2 and the connecting body 3 is the same as described above.

  As described above, the panel connection member A of the present invention may have any shape as long as it connects a plurality of panels orthogonally or in parallel (on a straight line). Here, “orthogonal or parallel” means that the angle between the panels 1 and 1 connected by the panel connecting member A is arbitrary. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the angle θ between two adjacent panel holders 2 and 2 can be set arbitrarily.

  The panel connection member A of the present invention can be used not only for connection between wall panels, but also for connection between a wall panel and a ceiling panel or between a wall panel and a floor panel. The panel 1 may be anything as long as it is flat. For example, it may be a gypsum board or plywood, and a heat insulating material 12 is filled between two metal jackets 11 and 11. Sandwich panels formed in this way can be used.
