Description

The present invention relates to a simple structure.

An example of a simple structure is a carport with a folded-plate roof.

However, current simplified structures with folded-plate roof structures do not take design into consideration, and as a result, there is a demand for simplified structures with good design.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the simple structure described in claim 1 comprises a girder, a support pillar, a roof panel , and a roof panel mounting material , and the two girder are arranged so as to face each other at a distance, the roof panel mounting material support surface of one girder is lower than the roof panel mounting material support surface of the other girder, a gutter portion is provided in the lower girder, and the gutter portion is arranged to drain rainwater on the roof panel, the support pillars supporting the girder are at the same height, and the lower surfaces of the two girders facing the support pillars are located at the same height.

With the above configuration, the present invention can provide a simple structure with good design.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged cutaway view of the roof side of FIG. This is a cross-sectional view taken along line (4)-(4) in Figure 2. FIG. 1A is an enlarged plan view of the main parts below the water, excluding the corrugated roof, and FIG. 1B is an enlarged plan view of the main parts above the water. 4A is an enlarged view of the upper part above the water in FIG. 4, and FIG. 4B is an enlarged view of the upper part above the water in FIG. 4 with the drain cover removed. 1(a) is an enlarged view of the upper underwater side of FIG. 1(a), and FIG. 1(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line (7b)-(7b) of FIG. 2, showing a part of the front side. FIG. 7B is an enlarged view of a portion surrounded by a two-dot chain line in FIG.

Hereinafter, a simplified structure A according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In the following description, the same reference numerals in different drawings indicate parts having the same functions, and duplicated descriptions in each drawing will be omitted as appropriate.

The simple structure A described below is a carport, but the present invention is not limited to carports and can be applied to various simple structures with a folded-plate roof structure (e.g., cycle ports, shelters, gate roofs).

[Overall structure of the simple structure]
As shown in Figures 1(a) and (b), the simple structure A comprises a pair of above-water side pillars b erected at a predetermined distance in the fore-and-aft direction, a pair of below-water side pillars c erected at a predetermined distance opposite the above-water side pillars b, an above-water side girder 1 erected on the upper surfaces of the pair of above-water side pillars b, a below-water side girder 2 erected on the upper surfaces of the pair of below-water side pillars c and arranged opposite the above-water side girder 1 at a distance from each other, a plurality of rafters 3 and end rafters 4 erected at an appropriate distance between the above-water side girder 1 and the below-water side girder 2, and a folded plate roof 5 placed and fixed to the rafters 3 and end rafters 4.
The upper ends of the above-water support pillar b and the below-water support pillar c are arranged to be at the same height in the horizontal direction.

[Folded plate roof mounting structure]
As shown in Figures 1 (a) and 7 (a) and (b), the folded plate roof 5 is configured by arranging a plurality of folded plates 5a having alternating peaks and valleys in parallel so that the peak-valley direction is the front-rear direction.
As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the ridges 50 of the adjacent folded plates 5a, which are the front and rear ends of the folded plates 5a, are stacked one on top of the other, and the bottom surfaces of the stacked ridges 50 are placed on the top surfaces of the rafters 3, and the ridges 50 are screwed to the rafters 3 with roof bolts r.
In other words, the rafter 3 also functions as a connecting portion of the folded plate 5a that connects the ends of the folded plate 5a to each other.
In addition, the underside of the ridge portion 50 at the front end of the folded plate 5a arranged at the front side is placed on the front end rafter 4, and with the underside of the ridge portion 50 placed on the upper surface of the end rafter 4, the ridge portion 50 is screwed to the rafter 3 by a roof bolt r.
The ridge portion 50 at the rear end of the folded plate 5a arranged at the rearmost side also has its underside placed on the rear end rafter 4, and with the underside of the ridge portion 50 placed on the upper surface of the end rafter 4, a roof bolt r is driven into the fixed portion of the ridge portion 50 of the folded plate 5a and fixed in the hollow portion of the rafter 3.

In other words, in the simple structure A having the above-mentioned configuration, the folded plate roof 5 can be arranged without using beams.
In addition, the lower surfaces of the peaks 50 formed by overlapping the upper and lower parts of adjacent folded plates 5a are placed on the upper surfaces of the rafters 3 and screwed in place, so that the rafters 3 are embedded in the peaks 50, and this makes it possible to fix the folded plates 5a without making the rafters 3 stand out.
In addition, since the undersides of the peaks 50 of the front and rearmost folded plates 5a are placed on the upper surfaces of the end rafters 4 and screwed in place, the end rafters 4 are inserted into the peaks 50. This makes it possible to fix the folded plates 5a without making the rafters 3 stand out, and also ensures that the overlapping peaks 50 are connected together reliably. Moreover, the folded plate roof 5 can be supported by the rafters 3, resulting in high strength.
Therefore, beams are not required, and the corrugated roof 5 can be constructed without making the rafters 3 and the gable rafters 4 stand out, thereby improving workability and design, and further, the connection between the overlapping peak portions 50 can be reliably maintained, thereby increasing the strength of the corrugated roof 5.

[Configuration of above-water stringers and below-water stringers]
As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the above-water side girder 1 comprises a vertical wall portion 1a provided on the outer periphery, a gutter portion 1b provided integrally on the inside of the above-water side girder 1, a support surface 1c provided on the upper surface of the above-water side girder 1 and the upper end of the gutter portion 1b, a connector 1d for connecting to the above-water support column b, and a rail portion 1e for guiding the connector 1d in the forward and backward directions.
As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the below-water side girder 2 comprises a vertical wall portion 2a provided on the outer periphery, a gutter portion 2b provided integrally on the inside of the above-water side girder 1, a support surface 2c provided on the upper surface of the below-water side girder 2 and the upper end of the gutter portion 2b, a connector 2d for connecting to the above-water side support column c, and a rail portion 2e for guiding the connector 2d in the forward and backward directions.

The vertical wall portion 1a protrudes from the upper part of the above-water side girder 1, and its upper end is located at a position higher than the above-water end of the folded plate roof 5 and outside the above-water end of the folded plate roof 5.
The vertical wall portion 2a protrudes from the upper part of the below-water side girder 2, and its upper end is located at a position higher than the below-water end of the folded plate roof 5 and outside the below-water end of the folded plate roof 5.
In other words, the vertical wall portions 1a, 2a conceal the corrugated roof 5, rafters 3, and gable rafters 4 from view from above and below the water.

The undersides of the vertical walls 1a and 2a and the undersides of the gutters 1b and 2b are positioned on the same plane. This allows the vertical dimensions of the roof to be reduced, resulting in a good design.

The upper end of the vertical wall portion 1a and the upper end of the vertical wall portion 2a are set at the same height in the horizontal direction, so that even if the rafters 3, the gable rafters 4, and the corrugated roof 5 are inclined, as will be described later, the roof portion viewed from the outside appears horizontal.
As shown in Figures 2 and 7, a rear frame 40 and a front frame 50, whose upper ends are set at the same height as the upper ends of the vertical wall portions 1a and 2a, are attached to the outside of the end rafters 4.
In other words, the rafters 3 and the folded plate 5a are hidden from the outer periphery by the vertical wall portions 1a and 2a and the front and rear frames 40, 50, so that the roof portion viewed from the outside on all four sides of the simple structure A appears horizontal, thereby enhancing the design of the simple structure A.
Furthermore, if the front and rear frames 40, 50 are provided with drainage functions, the rafters 3 may be spanned between the front and rear frames 40, 50.

As shown in Figures 4 and 7, the connectors 1d, 2d are inserted and fixed from the upper ends of the above-water support b and the below-water support c, respectively, and are integrated with the above-water support b and the below-water support c, respectively.
The rail sections 1e, 2e are recessed along the entire longitudinal extent of the undersides of the above-water side girder 1 and the below-water side girder 2, respectively.
A bolt n1 is screwed into the connectors 1d and 2d from the top side, and the head of this bolt n1 is engaged with the rail portions 1e and 2e.
The bolt n1 is screwed into the nut n2 arranged on the underside of the connectors 1d, 2d, and when tightened, the connectors 1d, 2d are held in position, and when loosened, the connectors 1d, 2d become slidable along the longitudinal direction of the rail portions 1e, 2e, and this sliding allows the connectors 1d, 2d to be changed in position (arrow shown in FIG. 7).
By changing the positions of the connectors 1d, 2d, the positions of the above-water support b and the below-water support c can be set arbitrarily depending on the location where the simple structure A is placed.

The longitudinal ends 3a, 4a of the rafters 3 and gable rafters 4 are positioned closer to the ends (outer peripheral ends) of the vertical walls 1a, 2a than to the centers of the above-water support b and below-water support c. This allows the left-right dimensions of the roof portion to be reduced, resulting in a good design.

The support surfaces 1c, 2c support the undersides of the ends of the rafters 3 and the end rafters 4 as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, and the rafters 3 and the end rafters 4 are erected on the support surfaces 1c, 2c.
The upper end position of the above-water side support surface 1c is set at a position slightly higher than the upper end position of the below-water side support surface 2c, so that the erected rafters 3 and end rafters 4 have a water gradient (approximately 0.2 degrees) that decreases from the above-water side to the below-water side.
In addition, in order to prevent the erected rafters 3 and end rafters 4 from wobbling, the support surfaces 1c, 2c are formed with an incline that corresponds to the angle of the water gradient of the aforementioned rafters 3 and end rafters 4.
As mentioned above, the upper surface height of the vertical wall portions on the outer periphery of the above-water side girder 1 and the below-water side girder 2 is the same, but the heights of the support surfaces 1c, 2c provided on the inner periphery of the above-water side girder 1 and the below-water side girder 2 are different.

The folded plate roof 5 supported by the rafters 3 and gable rafters 4 erected with a water gradient also has a water gradient of the same angle as shown in Figures 5(a) and 6(a), so that rainwater on the folded plate roof 5 flows from above the water to below the water (arrows shown in Figures 5(a) and (b)).
The above-water end and below-water end positions of the corrugated roof 5 supported by the rafters 3 and the gable rafters 4 are set halfway above the upper openings 10, 20 of the gutter sections 1b, 2b.
That is, as shown in Figures 5(a) and 6(a), rainwater flowing from the above-water side to the below-water side on the folded-plate roof 5 flows over the upper surface of the valley portion 51 of the folded-plate roof 5 and is drained into the gutter portion 2b.
In addition, a part of the rainwater that seeps under the roof from above the water is drained into the gutter section 1b on the above-water side.
In addition, the rafters 3 and the end rafters 4 are hollow, and some of the rainwater that seeps in under the roof from above the water enters the rafters 3 and the end rafters 4 and flows below the water, guided by the slope of the rafters 3 and the end rafters 4, and then drains from the below-water end onto the support surface 2c. The drained rainwater then runs down the support surface 2c and drains into the gutter section 2b below the water (arrows shown in Figures 5(a) and (b)).
With the above-mentioned configuration, water on the corrugated roof 5 can be drained, and the heights of the above-water side pillars b and the below-water side pillars c can be aligned, thereby improving the design.
From the standpoint of ease of construction and of guiding rainwater downward, it is preferable that the inclination angle of the rafters 3 and the end rafters 4 be a slight inclination angle of approximately 0.2 degrees.

As shown in Figures 4, 5(b), and 6(a), a gap s is provided between the inner surfaces of the vertical wall sections 1a, 2a and the above-water and below-water ends of the corrugated roof 5 to guide rainwater into the gutter sections 1b, 2b. However, there is a risk that garbage, dead leaves, etc. may get into the gutter sections 1b, 2b through this gap s.
For this reason, a drain cover 6 is provided to close this gap s.
The drip cover 6 has a front-to-rear length that covers the entire longitudinal area of the gap s (the longitudinal direction of the above-water side girder 1 and the below-water side girder 2), and has a width that extends from the top of the peak portion 50 of the corrugated roof 5 to the inner surfaces of the vertical wall portions 1a and 2a.
As shown in FIG. 6( a ), the drip cover 6 is attached to an engaged portion 60 provided on the upper surface of the rafter 3 by an engaging portion 61 which penetrates from the upper surface of the drip cover 6 and engages with the engaged portion 60 .
The engaging portion 61 engages and disengages with the engaged portion 60 by manual rotation. When engaged, the drain cover 6 is fixed. When disengaged, the engaging portion 61 can be removed from the engaged portion 60. When removed, the drain cover 6 can be removed as shown in Figure 6(b).
By removing the drain cover 6, the gutters 1b and 2b can be seen through the gap s, which allows cleaning of the gutters 1b and 2b.
In addition, since the gap s is closed by the drain cover 6, an improvement in design can be expected.

The simple structure A configured as described above can improve workability and design as well as strength as described above.

The simplified structure according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, but the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and the present invention includes design changes that do not deviate from the gist of the present invention.

Furthermore, the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined by reusing each other's technologies, so long as there are no particular contradictions or problems in their purpose and configuration, etc.
