Description

  Embodiments of the present invention relate to a supporting tile for installing an installation object on a roof such as a solar panel on a roof of a roof tile.

  When attaching an installation on the roof such as a solar panel to the roof of the tile roof, a relatively light metal support tile such as aluminum is attached between the existing tiles. This type of support tile is fixed to a roof base plate together with a bracket for attaching a solar panel. Thereby, the strong support structure in which a solar panel is not blown even by a strong wind is realizable.

  When the solar panel is actually attached to the tile roof, the worker climbs the roof and walks on the existing tile that has already been sown. At this time, it is known that the thin portion that functions as a drainage groove in which the roof tiles partially overlap each other on the left and right easily breaks. If cracks occur in the overlapping part of the roof tile, rainwater permeates from the part and causes rain leakage.

  In order to make such cracks in the thin portion visible, a notch for exposing the end of the thin portion (that is, the cracked portion) is provided at the end of the eaves of the roof tile that partially overlaps the thin portion. Things are spreading. Thereby, the crack of a tile can be discovered at an early stage and rain leakage can be prevented beforehand.

Japanese Patent No. 3190559

  However, when notches for crack recognition are provided in this way, on the other hand, it is necessary to extend the end of the thin part to the eaves side until it is exposed from the notch. It is necessary to prepare special roof tiles that have a completely different structure from roof tiles that do not have.

  On the other hand, since the supporting tile for attaching a solar panel or the like has a structure matched to a general-shaped roof tile not having a notch, the supporting tile is attached between the above-described specially structured roof tiles. In this case, it is necessary to partially scrape the end portion of the eaves side of the thin portion of the special roof tile that partially overlaps the support roof tile with a grinder. In this case, it was necessary to remove the special tile already installed on the roof, remove it from the roof, partly grind it with a grinder, and lift it back onto the roof. Further, in this way, the work of shaving the roof tile with a grinder requires skill, and the roof tile may be cracked or cracked.

  In addition, in this case, the end of the eaves side of the thin-walled portion that overlaps below the support tiles is scraped and the end of the support tiles on the eaves side despite the use of special tiles that can visually recognize cracks in the overlapping portions. Since it is covered with an edge, it becomes impossible to recognize the crack of the overlapping portion of the roof tile from the eaves side.

  Therefore, it is desired to develop a highly versatile support tile with a low work load required for construction.

  The supporting tiles are installed between the existing tiles in order to attach the installation object on the roof to the roof of the tile roof. The supporting tile has a plate-like main body fixed to the roof base plate. The main body includes an attachment portion for attaching the installation object on the roof. The support tile according to the embodiment is capable of selectively exposing an end portion on the eaves side of an overlapping portion of an existing tile that is adjacent to the lateral direction of the support tile and partially overlaps the support tile. It has a cut-out portion that can be cut out by thinning a part of the main body covering the end portion.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a support tile according to an embodiment. FIG. 2 is an external perspective view of the state in which the support roof of FIG. 1 is installed between existing roof tiles. FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged perspective view showing a partially enlarged structure of a main part of the support tile of FIG. FIG. 4 is a partially enlarged perspective view showing a partially enlarged end portion on the eaves side of a belt-like overlapping portion between tiles adjacent in the horizontal direction. FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged perspective view showing a partially enlarged view of a portion where the supporting roof tile in a state where the cutout portion of FIG. 3 is removed is overlapped with the overlapping portion of the roof tile of FIG. FIG. 6 is a partially enlarged perspective view showing a partially enlarged structure of a main part of a support tile according to another embodiment.

Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
When a roof installation such as a solar panel is installed on a roof of a tile roof, for example, a plurality of supporting tiles are attached between existing tiles. The solar panel is attached to the roof through the plurality of supporting tiles. That is, the attachment position and the number of attachments of each support tile are determined by the installation location and size of the solar panel.

  FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the support tile 10 according to the present embodiment cut along the inclination direction of the base plate 100. In FIG. 1, the existing tile KH adjacent to the ridge side of the support tile 10 (inclined upward, right side in the figure) and the existing tile KL adjacent to the eaves side of the support tile (lower slope, left side in the figure) are also partially. It is shown. FIG. 2 is an external perspective view showing an example of a state in which the support tile 10 of FIG. 1 is installed between existing tiles K.

  The support roof 10 can be formed of a material having sufficient strength against a load, such as aluminum, iron, or resin. The support tile 10 of this embodiment is formed of aluminum which is a relatively light metal.

  The support tile 10 has a main body 12 fixed to the base plate 100 with four bolts 101 (only two are shown in FIG. 1). The main body 12 of the support tile 10 has substantially the same outer shape as the existing tile K already on the roof. Moreover, the main body 12 has four attachment boss portions 14 (attachment portions) for attaching the solar panel P (only two are shown in FIG. 1). These mounting boss portions 14 are integrally projected from the upper surface of the main body 12. Each mounting boss portion 14 has a through hole 15 for inserting a bolt 101 for fixing the main body 12 to the base plate 100 together with a bracket 110 to be described later for mounting the solar panel P.

  A plurality of ribs 17 extending in the inclination direction of the roof and a plurality of ribs 16 extending in the lateral direction perpendicular to the inclination direction protrude on the back surface of the support tile 10 facing the base plate 100. It is installed. A spacer block 102 is attached between the tips of the ribs 16 and 17 and the base plate 100. The spacer block 102 has a flat plate-like fixing base 102a attached to the surface 100a of the base plate 100, and a bar 102b attached on the fixing base 102a.

  A plurality of horizontal rails 103 are attached to the surface 100a of the field board 100 and are spaced apart in the roof inclination direction and extend in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the inclination direction. The spacer block 102 is disposed between two adjacent horizontal bars 103.

  An edge wall portion 12 a is formed on the edge of the support tile 10 on the eaves side of the main body 12 by bending the main body 12 at a substantially right angle toward the base plate 100. The front end of the edge wall portion 12a abuts on the upper surface of the roof tile KL adjacent to the eaves side of the support roof tile 10. When the edge wall portion 12a is looked up from under the eaves, for example, in the example shown in FIG. 2, the edge wall portion 12a covers an overlapping portion 120 of the adjacent roof tile K, which will be described later. On the other hand, the edge 12b on the ridge side of the support tile 10 is disposed below the tile KH adjacent to the ridge side of the support tile 10. The lower surface of the end of the support tile 10 on the ridge side is in contact with the horizontal rail 103.

  When the supporting tile 10 having the above structure is attached between the existing tiles K, the existing tile K at the position where the solar panel P is attached is removed, and the supporting tile 10 is attached instead. At this time, first, the spacer block 102 is fixed to the surface 100a of the base plate 100, and the tip of the edge wall portion 12a on the eaves side of the support tile 10 is brought into contact with the upper surface of the tile KL adjacent to the lower side of the slope, The ridge-side edge 12b is arranged below the tile KH adjacent to the upper side of the slope.

  Then, the bracket 110 is placed on the four mounting boss portions 14 of the support tile 10, and the bolts 101 are respectively inserted into the four holes in the flange portion 110 a of the bracket 110. The four holes of the flange portion 110 a are provided at positions that are coaxially overlapped with the through holes 15 of the four mounting boss portions 14 of the main body 12. Each bolt 101 is fastened and fixed to the fixing base 102 a of the spacer block 102 and the base plate 100 through the through hole 15 of the mounting boss portion 14. Thereby, the main body 12 of the support tile 10 can be fixed to the base plate 100 at the same time as the bracket 110 for attaching the solar panel P is fixed to the attachment boss portion 14 of the support tile 10.

  FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged perspective view of the edge wall portion 12a as a main portion of the support tile 10 of the present embodiment as viewed from the back surface side. FIG. 4 is a partially enlarged perspective view in which the edge portion 120a on the eaves side of the overlapping portion 120 of the roof tile K that partially overlaps the roof tiles adjacent to each other in the lateral direction orthogonal to the inclination direction of the base plate 100 is partially enlarged. It is. This overlapping portion 120 is a thin strip-like portion extending in an inclined direction and overlapping below the mating tile (including the supporting tile 10), and receives rainwater and the like entering between the two tiles K in contact with the lateral direction. It plays the function of flowing to the eaves side.

  However, since the overlapping portion 120 thus thinned is thinner than other portions of the roof tile main body, it is easy to break. For this reason, for example, when the worker walks on the roof for installing the solar panel P, the overlapping portion 120 may break. If the overlapping portion 120 is broken, rainwater may enter and cause rain leakage.

  The roof tile K in FIG. 4 has a structure in which the overlapping portion 120 is extended to the end portion 120a on the eaves side so that the cracked portion can be easily visually recognized from the eaves side when the overlapping portion 120 is broken. When this roof tile K is used, it is necessary to partially cut off the edge portion on the eaves side of another roof tile K (substantially the same roof tile) that overlaps the overlap portion 120 so that the crack of the overlap portion 120 can be seen. (See FIG. 5). In this way, when the roof tile K having a special structure is used, when the overlapping portion 120 of the roof tile K is broken, repair can be started immediately, and rain leakage can be prevented in advance.

  On the other hand, instead of the tile K that extends the overlapping portion 120 to the end portion on the eaves side in this way, a normal roof tile (a structure in which the end portion on the eaves side of the overlapping portion 120 is hidden at the end portion on the eaves side of the tile that overlaps the top) ) Is used (for example, in the case of FIG. 2), it is not necessary that the end portion on the eaves side of the tile on the side adjacent to the upper side has a notch. Therefore, for example, when attaching the support tile 10 between such normal tiles K, as shown in FIG. 2, it is not necessary to provide a notch at the end of the support tile 10 on the eaves side.

  The support tile 10 of this embodiment can be attached between the roof tiles 120a thus extending the end 120a of the overlapping portion 120 to the eaves side, and the end of the overlapping portion 120 does not extend to the eaves side. It has a structure that can be attached between ordinary roof tiles.

  That is, the support tile 10 of the present embodiment has a cutout portion 20 that can be partially cut off on the edge wall portion 12 a on the eaves side of the main body 12. The cutout portion 20 is provided at a position that covers the end portion 120a on the eaves side of the overlapping portion 120 of the roof tile K that overlaps therewith. For this reason, when the cutout part 20 is cut out, the edge part 120a on the eaves side of the overlapping part 120 of the tile K that overlaps underneath can be exposed. Moreover, when this cut part 20 is used without excising, the edge part of the eaves side of the overlapping part 120 can be covered.

  The cutout part 20 has the rectangular recessed part 22 provided in the back surface side of the edge wall part 12a by the side of the eaves of the support tile 10, as shown in FIG. By providing the concave portion 22 in the edge wall portion 12a, the thickness of the cutout portion 20 is made thinner than other portions and can be easily excised with pliers or the like. By providing the concave portion 22 on the back surface side of the edge wall portion 12a, the aesthetic appearance is not impaired when the support tile 10 in a state where the cut portion 20 is not cut is viewed from the eaves side.

  In the present embodiment, the cutout portion 20 in which the concave portion 22 is simply formed is provided on the back side of the edge wall portion 12a on the eaves side of the support tile 10, but the continuous groove slightly deeper than the concave portion is formed in the boundary portion where the concave portion 22 is connected to the main body 12. May be provided. In this case, in addition to being able to excise the cutout part 20 more easily, the cutout part 20 can be removed cleanly.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the cutout portion 20 is provided in the edge wall portion 12a on the eaves side of the support tile 10, the tile K adjacent to the support tile 10 in the lateral direction, Applicable to both roof tiles in which the overlapping portion 120 partially overlaps to the edge on the eaves side and roof tiles in which the overlapping portion 120 does not extend to the edge on the eaves side are provided, and a highly versatile support roof tile can be provided .

  In particular, in the case where the supporting roof tile 10 of the present embodiment is attached between the roof tiles K as shown in FIG. 2 in which the edge portion 120a on the front edge side of the overlapping portion 120 of the roof tile K extends to the edge of the roof body side of the roof tile body. The worker can easily attach the support tile 10 by simply cutting off the cutout portion 20 in the edge wall portion 12a of the support tile 10 with pliers or the like on the roof, and the work burden required for construction can be reduced. In this case, the worker does not need to scrape the edge 120a on the eaves side of the overlapping portion 120 of the roof tile K that overlaps the support roof 10 with a grinder or the like, and does not require skill.

  FIG. 6 is a partially enlarged perspective view partially showing a cutout portion 20 ′ formed in the edge wall portion 12 a as a main part of the support tile 30 according to another embodiment. The support roof 30 has the same structure as the above-described support roof 10 except that the structure of the cutout portion 20 ′ is different. Therefore, a different part from the support tile 10 is demonstrated here, and about the structure which functions similarly, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The support roof 30 of the present embodiment has a cutout portion 20 ′ formed of a thin recessed portion 32 that can be cut into a plurality of portions. That is, in the present embodiment, two grooves 34 are provided at the bottom of the recess 32, and the recess 32 can be divided into three parts and cut off.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, in addition to being able to achieve the same effect as when the above-described support tile 10 is used, the cutout portion 20 ′ can be more easily excised, and the work by the worker can be performed. The burden can be further reduced.

  According to at least one embodiment described above, since the cutout portion is provided in the edge wall portion on the eaves side of the main body, it is possible to provide a highly versatile support roof with a low work load required for construction.

  Although several embodiments have been described, these embodiments have been presented by way of example and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. These embodiments and their modifications are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are also included in the invention described in the claims and the equivalents thereof.
