Description

The present invention relates to outdoor structures such as carports and entrances, and in particular to outdoor structures equipped with roofs that have recessed corners in the rain gutters.

The roof of an outdoor structure is generally formed in a rectangular shape when viewed from above. However, when it is to be installed in an irregularly shaped installation space, or when the installation space is rectangular but there are restrictions such as a building being installed in part of the upper part or trees growing there, it is necessary to configure the roof so that it has a recessed corner in part (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

JP 2010-196261 A JP 2005-155085 A

As described in Patent Document 1, when forming an internal corner including the front frame of the roof that is above the slope, it is relatively easy to address this issue by shortening the front frame. However, as described in Patent Document 2, when forming an internal corner including a gutter frame with a gutter, the drainage path is interrupted, and therefore it becomes extremely important to be able to easily and reliably prevent water leakage from the roof.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention aims to provide an outdoor structure that can easily and reliably prevent water leakage from roofs with recessed corners.

To achieve the above object, the outdoor structure of the present invention comprises a front frame, rafters extending from multiple positions on the front frame at an angle that gradually lowers, and a gutter frame arranged to connect the extending portions of the rafters, and the roof is constructed by arranging plate-shaped roofing materials in the area surrounded by the front frame, the rafters, and the gutter frame, and the gutter frame comprises a first gutter frame and a second gutter frame arranged at different distances from the front frame, and the second gutter frame arranged at a shorter distance from the front frame has a gutter provided up to a position facing the underside of the boundary rafter arranged at the boundary with the first gutter frame.

According to the present invention, the gutter installed in the second gutter frame extends to a position facing the underside of the boundary rafter, so that water that runs down the top surface of the roofing material between the front frame and the second gutter frame is reliably caught by the gutter, making it possible to easily construct a roof with an internal corner without causing water leakage from the roof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of an outdoor structure according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
1 and 2 show an outdoor structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. The outdoor structure shown here is a carport comprising two support posts 10 erected on one side of a parking space S, two beams 11 extending gradually upward from the upper ends of the support posts 10 toward the other side of the parking space S, and a roof 20 provided on the upper portions of the beams 11. Although not shown in the figures, the support posts 10 are each prismatic and are erected vertically by burying their respective lower ends in the ground. The beams 11 are each prismatic and extend substantially parallel to each other.

As shown in FIG. 2, the roof 20 is generally hexagonal in plan view with an inside corner 1 at one corner, and is composed of a front frame 21, two side frames 22, three purlins 23, six rafters 24, and a rear frame (first gutter frame) 25. The front frame 21, side frames 22, purlins 23, rafters 24, and rear frame 25 are all extruded shapes made of metal such as aluminum alloy, and each is configured to have a substantially uniform cross-sectional shape over its entire length along the longitudinal direction. In this embodiment, a roof 20 is illustrated in which the inside corner 1 is formed at the left rear corner in plan view when the front frame 21 is placed in the forward position. In the following, for convenience, the directions of the components of the roof 20 will be specified with the front frame 21 placed in the forward position. That is, in FIG. 2, the upper side is the front, the lower side is the rear, the left side is the left side, and the right side is the right side.

2 and 3, the front frame 21 is a hollow irregular cylinder with a length greater than the interval between the beams 11, and is configured linearly along the longitudinal direction. As shown in Figs. 2 and 5, the side frame 22 includes a side frame body 22a extending linearly along the longitudinal direction and a side frame cover 22b attached to the upper part of the side frame body 22a, and one end of each is connected to the end of the front frame 21 via the side frame body 22a. A gap is secured between the upper edge surfaces of the opposing sides of the side frame body 22a and the lower edge surfaces of the opposing sides of the side frame cover 22b, and a seal member 22c is disposed along the entire length of the opposing parts. As is clear from Fig. 1, the left side frame having the recessed corner portion 1 (hereinafter referred to as the left side frame 22A when distinguishing) and the other right side frame (hereinafter referred to as the right side frame 22B when distinguishing) are different in length. In this embodiment, the right frame 22B is configured to have approximately the same length as the beam 11, while the left frame 22A is configured to have approximately 3/4 the length of the right frame 22B.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the purlins 23 are hollow rectangular tubes with approximately the same length as the front frame 21, and are arranged at equal intervals from each other while being approximately parallel to the front frame 21. The rear purlin (hereinafter, when distinguishing between them, it will be called the rear purlin (second gutter frame) 23A) arranged at the position furthest from the front frame 21 has one end connected to the end of the side frame body 22a in the left frame 22A, while the other end is connected to the middle part of the side frame body 22a in the right frame 22B. The two purlins 23 arranged forward of the rear purlin 23A have both ends connected to the respective side frame bodies 22a at the middle part of the left frame 22A and the middle part of the right frame 22B.

As shown in Fig. 5, the rafters 24 are composed of a rafter body 24a fixed to the upper surface of the front frame 21 and the upper surface of the purlin 23, and a rafter cover 24b attached to the upper part of the rafter body 24a, and are arranged at approximately equal intervals from each other while being approximately parallel to the side frame 22. The rafter body 24a is configured so that when it is fixed to the upper surface of the front frame 21 and the purlin 23, its upper surface approximately coincides with the upper surface of the side frame body 22a. As shown in Fig. 2, the rafter 24 arranged in the position closest to the left frame 22A is configured to have approximately the same length as the left frame 22A, and one end is connected to the middle part of the front frame 21 via the rafter body 24a, while the other end is connected to the middle part of the rear purlin 23A via the rafter body 24a. The other purlins 23 are constructed to have approximately the same length as the right frame 22B, with one end connected to the middle of the front frame 21 via the rafter body 24a, and the other end each protruding rearward from the rear purlins 23A.

As shown in Figure 5, a gap is provided between the upper surface of both side edges along the length of the rafter body 24a and the lower surface of both side edges along the length of the rafter cover 24b, and a sealing member 24c is provided along the entire length of each of the opposing parts. As mentioned above, the rafters 24 used in the roof 20 have the same cross-sectional shape, but for convenience, as shown in Figure 1, the rafter that is approximately the same length as the right frame 22B and is located closest to the left frame 22A may be referred to as the boundary rafter 24A to distinguish it from the other rafters 24.

As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the rear frame 25 is linearly configured along the longitudinal direction and is disposed between the right frame 22B and the side of the boundary rafter 24A located on the inside corner 1 side, in a state where it is almost parallel to the front frame 21. The end of the right frame 22B and the end of the rafter 24 protruding from the rear purlin 23A are both connected to the upper surface of the rear frame 25. In this embodiment, a rear frame 25 is applied in which the frame base 25a and the rear gutter section 25b provided on the side of the frame base 25a are integrally formed. The frame base 25a is a square tube with almost the same height as the purlin 23. The rear gutter section 25b extends almost at a right angle from the lower end of the frame base 25a toward the rear, and then extends in a curved shape toward the upper side, and forms a gutter 25c between the frame base 25a and the frame base 25a by opening upward. The upper edge of the rear gutter section 25b is set so as to protrude above the upper surface of the frame base 25a. Gutter caps 26 are attached to both ends of the rear gutter section 25b to cover the ends of the gutter 25c. The gutter caps 26 are plate-shaped and slightly larger than the cross-sectional shape of the rear gutter section 25b, and are attached to the rear gutter section 25b while ensuring watertightness between them. Although not shown in the figure, the gutter 25c formed by the rear gutter section 25b has vertical gutters 2 (see FIG. 1) extending in the vertical direction provided at appropriate locations.

The frame base 25a of the rear frame 25 is integrally provided with a retaining portion 25d and a supporting protrusion 25e. The retaining portion 25d constitutes a storage portion 25f for storing the rear edge of the roofing material 40 described later between the frame base 25a and the rear gutter portion 25b of the frame base 25a, and protrudes rearward from the upper portion of the rear side between the frame base 25a and the rear gutter portion 25b, then bends upward, and further bends and extends forward from the bent upper end. As is clear from the figure, the extended edge of the retaining portion 25d is located above the upper surface of the frame base 25a. The supporting protrusion 25e protrudes upward from the upper edge of the frame base 25a close to the front frame 21, and then bends rearward at an almost right angle. The upper end surface of the supporting protrusion 25e is located slightly below the lower surface of the extended edge of the retaining portion 25d.

As shown in Figures 6 to 13, the rear purlin 23A described above is provided with a gutter frame 27 having a cross-sectional shape similar to the rear gutter section 25b provided on the rear frame 25. The gutter frame 27 is molded separately from the rear purlin 23A, and is attached to the rear purlin 23A to form a gutter 27a in the rear purlin 23A. That is, the gutter frame 27 is integrally molded with an upper surface portion 27b that is flat along the horizontal direction, a side surface portion 27c that extends vertically downward from the rear edge of the upper surface portion 27b, and an inside corner gutter section 27d that extends from the lower edge of the side surface portion 27c toward the rear at a nearly right angle and then extends upward in a curved shape. A support protrusion 27e that protrudes upward and then bends toward the rear at a nearly right angle is integrally provided on the upper surface of the upper surface portion 27b. Although not shown in the figure, vertical gutters 2 extending vertically are provided at appropriate locations on the gutter 27a formed by the gutter frame 27.

A groove-shaped mounting portion 27f is formed on the rear upper edge of the side portion 27c, and a retaining member 28 is attached via the mounting portion 27f. The retaining member 28 is attached to the side portion 27c via the mounting portion 27f to form a storage portion 28a for the roofing material 40 in the rear purlin 23A. This retaining member 28 is provided only in the portion between the rafters 24, and does not interfere with the rafters 24 when the rafters 24 are attached to the rear purlin 23A.

The gutter frame 27 having the above-mentioned configuration is attached to the rear purlin 23A by screwing a screw into the upper surface of the rear purlin 23A via the upper surface portion 27b, and the inside corner gutter portion 27d opens upward to form a gutter 27a behind the rear purlin 23A. As is clear from the figure, the upper edge of the inside corner gutter portion 27d provided on the rear purlin 23A is located below the lower surface of the upper surface portion 27b, and when the gutter frame 27 is attached to the rear purlin 23A, it is located slightly below the upper surface of the rear purlin 23A. In addition, a notch 27g is provided in the part of the upper surface portion 27b that corresponds to the rafter 24, so that the rafter 24 can be directly abutted and connected to the upper surface of the rear purlin 23A. One end of the gutter frame 27 is connected to the end of the left frame 22A. The other end of the gutter frame 27 extends from the left side 24d of the boundary rafter 24A, through the underside 24e of the boundary rafter 24A, and beyond the right side 24f of the boundary rafter 24A.

The gutter cap 26, which is common to the rear gutter section 25b, is attached to the end of the inside corner gutter section 27d of the gutter frame 27 that is connected to the left frame 22A. On the other hand, as shown in Figures 14 to 16, the gutter frame cap 29 is attached to the end of the inside corner gutter section 27d that passes through the lower surface 24e of the boundary rafter 24A. The gutter frame cap 29 is configured so that its overall height when attached to the inside corner gutter section 27d is lower than the lower surface of the upper surface section 27b, and is attached to the side surface section 27c of the gutter frame 27 via a mounting bracket 30. The gutter frame cap 29 has projections 29a on both sides to prevent relative rotation with the mounting bracket 30. The mounting bracket 30 is also symmetrical, and both ends can be fitted into the projections 29a. Furthermore, the gutter frame cap 29 is provided with a flat cover plate 31 that can cover one side and has a screw insertion hole 31a passing through it. Therefore, for the inside corner gutter section 27d of the gutter frame 27, these mounting brackets 30, gutter frame caps 29, and cover plates 31 can be used in common at both ends.

Between the front frame 21 and the rear frame 25, roofing material 40 is arranged in the rectangular space between the rafters 24 and between the rafters 24 and the side frame 22. In addition, between the front frame 21 and the rear purlin 23A, roofing material 40 is arranged in the rectangular space between the rafters 24 and between the rafters 24 and the side frame 22. The roofing material 40 is a thin plate having a rectangular outer shape, and both edges are sandwiched between the rafter body 24a and the rafter cover 24b and between the side frame body 22a and the side frame cover 22b, respectively. The edge located on the front side of the roofing material 40 is sandwiched by the front frame 21 while being inserted into the storage space 21a provided in the front frame 21, as shown in FIG. 3. The edge located on the rear side of the roofing material 40 arranged between the front frame 21 and the rear frame 25 is inserted into the storage section 25f between the support protrusion 25e and the holding section 25d and is clamped by the rear frame 25. The edge located on the rear side of the roofing material 40 arranged between the front frame 21 and the rear purlin 23A is inserted into the storage section 28a between the support protrusion 27e and the holding member 28 and is clamped by the rear purlin 23A.

Furthermore, a side cover 50 is attached to the portion of the boundary rafter 24A that is rearward of the rear purlin 23A. The side cover 50 covers the left side 24d of the boundary rafter 24A between the rear purlin 23A and the rear frame 25. In this embodiment, a side cover 50 is applied that is integrally formed with a cover portion 50a having a height from the upper surface of the boundary rafter 24A to the lower surface of the rear purlin 23A and the rear frame 25, and a clamped portion 50b that is clamped between the upper edge of the cover portion 50a and the rafter body 24a of the boundary rafter 24A and the rafter cover 24b. The clamped portion 50b has a plate thickness that matches the roofing material 40, and functions to prevent the rafter cover 24b from tilting when the rafter cover 24b is attached to the rafter body 24a in the boundary rafter 24A. That is, in the boundary rafter 24A, since there is no roofing material 40 in the portion corresponding to the inside corner 1, if the rafter cover 24b is attached to the rafter body 24a in this state and the screws are screwed in, the rafter cover 24b will be closer than necessary to the rafter body 24a at the edge corresponding to the inside corner 1. In contrast, if the rafter cover 24b is attached with the clamped portion 50b of the side cover 50 in between, the rafter cover 24b will clamp the clamped portion 50b between the rafter cover 24b and the rafter body 24a, eliminating the risk of the above-mentioned problem occurring.

The protruding portion 50c located above the gutter frame 27 in the cover portion 50a of the side cover 50 protrudes forward from the extended edge of the inside corner gutter portion 27d, and the open end is located in a portion corresponding to the inside of the gutter of the gutter 27a. As shown in Figure 18(a), a side cover 50 with protruding portions 50c at both ends is prepared in advance, and one of the protruding portions 50c is cut off depending on the position where the inside corner portion 1 is to be provided, as shown in Figure 18(b) or Figure 18(c), making it possible to share parts.

The roof 20 constructed as described above is attached to the top surface of the beams 11 in a sloping state, with the front frame 21 facing upward and the rafters 24 gradually sloping downward toward the rear. Rainwater and other water dripping onto the top surface of the roof 20 is guided to the rear side, which is the lower point, according to the slope of the roofing material 40. Rainwater and other water guided to the rear frame 25 via the roofing material 40 is received by the gutter 25c formed by the rear gutter section 25b, and is discharged to the ground via the vertical gutter 2. Meanwhile, rainwater and other water guided to the rear purlin 23A via the roofing material 40 is received by the gutter 27a formed by the gutter frame 27, and is discharged to the ground via the vertical gutter 2.

Here, in the roof 20 that forms the recessed corner 1, there is a concern that a gap will occur at the meeting point (Z part in FIG. 11) between the edge located on the rear side of the roofing material 40 arranged between the front frame 21 and the rear purlin 23A and the left side surface 24d located on the recessed corner 1 side of the boundary rafter 24A, causing water leakage. However, according to the above-mentioned roof 20, the gutter frame 27 is provided to a position that reaches the lower surface 24e of the boundary rafter 24A beyond the left side surface 24d located on the recessed corner 1 side of the boundary rafter 24A. Therefore, even if a gap occurs between the edge located on the rear side of the roofing material 40 and the left side surface 24d located on the recessed corner 1 side of the boundary rafter 24A, the water dripping through this gap will be received by the rain gutter 27a of the gutter frame 27, and there is no risk of water leakage. In addition, as mentioned above, the portion of the side cover 50 that is located above the gutter frame 27 extends into the gutter of the gutter 27a, so that rainwater and other water that is blown into the inside from the open end face of the side cover 50 is received by the gutter 27a of the gutter frame 27, eliminating the risk of water leakage.

In the above embodiment, the roof 20 has an inside corner 1 at the left rear corner in plan view, but this is not necessarily limited to the above, as long as the inside corner is provided to include the rear frame 25, which is the first gutter frame. An inside corner may be provided at the right rear corner, or a concave inside corner may be provided in the middle of the rear frame 25. In the latter case, since boundary rafters are provided on both sides, the gutter is configured to be provided up to a position facing the underside of each boundary rafter.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the recessed corner 1 is configured to include the rafters 24, but the present invention can also be applied to a recessed corner 1 that does not include the rafters 24, as in the roof 120 shown in the modified example 1 of FIG. 19(a). Furthermore, a part of the purlins 23 arranged at equal intervals is configured as the second gutter frame, but it is also possible to configure the second gutter frame by adding a new purlin 23' between the purlins 23 arranged at equal intervals, as in the roof 220 shown in the modified example 2 of FIG. 19(b) and the roof 320 shown in the modified example 3 of FIG. 19(c). In this case, the added purlin 23' does not necessarily have to be parallel to the rear frame 25, which is the first gutter frame, and the second gutter frame may be configured by adding the purlin 23' so that it is inclined relative to the rear frame 25, as in the roof 420 shown in the modified example 4 of FIG. 19(d). Note that the same reference numerals are used for the same configurations in the modified examples 1 to 4 as those in the embodiment.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the pressing member 28 is molded separately from the gutter frame 27, but the pressing member 28 may be molded integrally with the gutter frame 27.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, a carport is used as an example of an outdoor structure, but other outdoor structures may be used as long as they have a roof.

As described above, the outdoor structure of the present invention is an outdoor structure comprising a front frame, rafters extending at an angle gradually lowering from multiple positions on the front frame, and a gutter frame arranged to connect the extending portions of the rafters, and a roof constructed by arranging plate-shaped roofing materials in the areas surrounded by the front frame, the rafters and the gutter frame, wherein the gutter frame comprises a first gutter frame and a second gutter frame arranged at positions different distances from the front frame, and the second gutter frame, arranged at a shorter distance from the front frame, has a gutter provided up to a position facing the underside of a boundary rafter arranged at a position which is the boundary with the first gutter frame.
According to this invention, the gutter provided in the second gutter frame extends to a position opposite the underside of the boundary rafter, so that water that runs down the upper surface of the roofing material between the front frame and the second gutter frame is reliably received by the gutter, making it possible to easily construct a roof with an internal corner without causing water leakage from the roof.

Furthermore, the present invention is characterized in that, in the above-mentioned outdoor structure, the gutter provided in the second gutter frame is formed by attaching a separately constructed gutter frame to the second gutter frame, and the gutter frame has the same cross-sectional shape along its entire length along the longitudinal direction, and its overall height when attached to the second gutter frame is configured to be below the underside of the boundary rafter.
According to this invention, the total height of the gutter frame is below the underside of the boundary rafter, so that it is possible to arrange the gutter frame up to a position opposite the underside of the boundary rafter without processing the ends of the gutter frame.

The present invention is also characterized in that, in the above-mentioned outdoor structure, a separately constructed clamping member is attached to the rain gutter provided in the second rain gutter frame, and the clamping member is abutted against the edge of the roofing material.
According to this invention, even when a second gutter frame is installed across multiple rafters, it is sufficient to arrange a separate clamping member between each rafter, eliminating the need for additional work such as cutting the clamping member from the second gutter frame.

The present invention is also characterized in that, in the above-mentioned outdoor structure, the rafter comprises a rafter body and a rafter cover, and the edge of the roofing material is clamped between the rafter body and the rafter cover at both side portions, and a side cover is attached to the side of the portion of the boundary rafter between the gutter of the second gutter frame and the first gutter frame, and the side cover is provided with a clamped portion that corresponds to the thickness of the roofing material and is clamped between the rafter body and rafter cover of the boundary rafter.
According to this invention, the clamped portion is clamped to the edge portion on the second gutter frame side of the boundary rafter, thereby preventing the rafter cover from tilting when the rafter cover is placed on the rafter body.

The present invention is also characterized in that, in the above-mentioned outdoor structure, the portion of the side cover that is located above the upper end of the second gutter frame extends above the inside of the gutter of the gutter provided in the second gutter frame.
According to this invention, the opening end face of the side cover is located inside the gutter of the gutter provided in the second gutter frame, so that water such as rainwater blown into the inside of the side cover from the opening end face is received in the gutter without leaking.

The present invention is also characterized in that, in the above-mentioned outdoor structure, a main house is arranged between the front frame and the gutter frame, and the second gutter frame is formed by the main house arranged between the front frame and the first gutter frame.
According to this invention, there is no need to provide a separate second gutter frame.

The present invention is also characterized in that, in the above-mentioned outdoor structure, the gutter provided in the first gutter frame extends from one side of the boundary rafter, passing downward and reaching the other side located on the opposite side.
According to this invention, water that runs down the edge of the boundary rafter on the inside corner side is caught in the gutter of the first gutter frame.
