Description

The present invention relates to a shutter equipped with a winding pipe, such as a steel pipe, formed by joining metal plates.

Conventionally, an external shutter is known that includes a shutter frame, a shutter surface material supported by the shutter frame, and a shutter case that houses the shutter surface material, and inside the shutter case is installed a cylindrical rotating drum that can wind up the shutter surface material (see Patent Document 1). This rotating drum is made of, for example, an aluminum extrusion.

JP 2015-151843 A

Incidentally, it is possible to reduce costs by constructing the rotating drum in the external shutter described in Patent Document 1 not from an extruded profile, but from a winding pipe formed into a cylindrical shape by crimping (fastening) the edges along the longitudinal direction of a roll-formed metal plate.
However, if the crimped portion of the winding pipe comes off when the shutter is in use, there is a risk that the shutter surface material will no longer be able to be wound up.

The object of the present invention is to provide a shutter that can prevent the winding pipe from coming loose.

The shutter of the present invention comprises a shutter surface material and a winding pipe to which the shutter surface material is connected so as to be able to be rolled up, the winding pipe having a pipe main body formed of a metal plate and a crimped portion formed by crimping and joining edges along the longitudinal direction of the pipe main body, the crimped portion protruding toward the inner circumference of the winding pipe, an accessory part being installed in the hollow portion of the winding pipe, a recess formed in the accessory part that opens to the outer circumference of the winding pipe, and the crimped portion being disposed in the recess.
The shutter of the present invention comprises a shutter surface material formed by connecting a plurality of slats, and a winding pipe to which the shutter surface material is connected so that it can be rolled up, the winding pipe having a pipe main body formed of a metal plate and a crimping portion formed by crimping and joining edges along the longitudinal direction of the pipe main body, the crimping portion protruding toward the outer periphery of the winding pipe, the shutter surface material being connected to the winding pipe by a mounting slat attached to the winding pipe or a mounting part connected to the mounting slat, the mounting slat or the mounting part having a side formed opposite the crimping portion, and the crimping portion being covered by a part that is continuous with the side.

The present invention provides a shutter that can prevent the winding pipe from coming undone.

[First embodiment]
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In Fig. 1, a shutter 1 according to the first embodiment is provided on the outdoor side of an opening in an exterior wall of a building such as a detached house. The aforementioned opening is provided with a window frame 2 formed of an upper frame 21, a lower frame 22, and left and right vertical frames 23. The shutter 1 includes a shutter frame 3, a shutter surface material 4 supported by the shutter frame 3 so as to be able to open and close vertically and to be rolled up upward, and a shutter case 5 for storing the rolled up shutter surface material 4. Inside the shutter case 5, a cylindrical winding pipe 6 capable of winding up the shutter surface material 4 is provided.
In the following description, the X-axis direction is the left-right direction of the shutter 1 (the longitudinal direction of the winding pipe 6), the Y-axis direction perpendicular to the X-axis direction is the up-down direction of the shutter 1, and the Z-axis direction perpendicular to the X and Y axes is the projection direction of the shutter 1.

The shutter frame 3 has left and right shutter vertical frames 31. The shutter surface material 4 has multiple steel slats 41 connected vertically, and the uppermost slat 41A (mounting slat, top slat) of the multiple slats 41 is screwed to the winding pipe 6 using a screw 7 and a back plate 8, and multiple lower slats are connected to the uppermost slat 41A. The shutter case 5 is disposed above the left and right shutter vertical frames 31. Both longitudinal ends of the winding pipe 6 are supported by the shutter case 5 so that they can rotate around the axis C (see Figure 3). The shutter case 5 has an opening 51 through which the shutter surface material 4 passes.

The auxiliary wheel 9 and other wheels are attached to the winding pipe 6 as accessories. The auxiliary wheel 9 is located at the center of the hollow part of the winding pipe 6 in the X-axis direction and fits into recesses 611 and 612, which will be described later.

2, the auxiliary wheel 9 has a wheel body 90 having a substantially circular outer periphery and a recess 92 formed on the outer periphery surface of the wheel body 90. The wheel body 90 has an outer periphery cylindrical portion 911, an intermediate cylindrical portion 912, and an inner periphery cylindrical portion 913, which are integrally connected to each other by a plurality of radially extending ribs 914. The outer periphery cylindrical portion 911 has fitting recesses 915, 916 formed therein to fit into the recesses 611, 612.
In addition to the fitting recesses 915 and 916, the outer circumferential cylindrical portion 911 is formed with the aforementioned recess 92 that opens to the outer circumferential side of the winding pipe 6, and the crimped portion 65 described later is disposed in the recess 92. The recess 92 has a pair of side surfaces 921 and 922 and a bottom surface 923. In the circumferential direction of the winding pipe 6, the side surface 921 faces a continuous portion 78 of the crimped portion 65 described later, and the side surface 922 faces a continuous portion 79 of the crimped portion 65. In the radial direction of the winding pipe 6, the bottom surface 923 faces the inner piece portion 71 of the crimped portion 65. The aforementioned circumferential direction is along the R direction rotating around the axis C of the winding pipe 6.

As shown in FIG. 2, the winding pipe 6 has a pipe main body 61 that is roll-formed from a steel plate as a metal plate, and a crimped portion 65 as a joint that joins edge portions 62, 63 along the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction) of the pipe main body 61, and the pipe main body 61 is formed into a tubular shape by being crimped by the crimped portion 65.
The pipe body 61 has recesses 611 and 612 recessed toward the inner periphery and a positioning portion 613 for positioning the mounting position of the uppermost slat 41A relative to the winding pipe 6, which are formed along the longitudinal direction of the pipe body 61. As shown in FIG. 2, the recess 611 has a pair of side pieces 614 and a bottom piece 615, and a locking piece 616 folded back from each of the pair of side pieces 614. In the recess 611, a plurality of back plates 8 are arranged at a predetermined interval along the longitudinal direction of the pipe body 61, and the above-mentioned locking piece 616 locks the back plates 8 so that they do not fall off. In addition, the recess 612 is formed with a pair of side pieces 617 and a bottom piece 618, and an accessory such as an auxiliary wheel 9 (see FIG. 1) is fitted into the recess 612 in the circumferential direction of the winding pipe 6. In this embodiment, the auxiliary wheel 9 is arranged in the hollow portion of the winding pipe 6 to reinforce the winding pipe 6. Therefore, the necessary strength can be obtained for the winding pipe 6 without providing a reinforcing part on the outer periphery of the winding pipe 6, and the tubular shape (approximately cylindrical shape) of the winding pipe 6 can be maintained.
The recesses 611, 612 are located on an imaginary line V1 connecting the attachment position where the slat 41A is attached to the winding pipe 6 and the axial center position through which the axial center C of the winding pipe 6 passes. When the shutter face material 4 is unrolled and the slat 41 is aligned in the Y-axis direction as shown in Fig. 1, the recesses 611, 612 are arranged opposite each other in the Z-axis direction, and in this embodiment, the recess 611 is arranged on the outdoor side and the recess 612 is arranged on the indoor side. The recesses 611, 612 are arranged at a distance in the circumferential direction from the crimping portion 65. Therefore, the positions where the recesses 611, 612 are formed in the circumferential direction are different from the joining positions by the crimping portion 65.

The crimped portion 65 has a first piece 70 and a second piece 75. The first piece 70 has an inner piece 71 located on the inner periphery side of the pipe body 61 and a first folded piece 72 folded back from the inner piece 71 to the outer periphery side. The second piece 75 has an outer piece 76 located on the outer periphery side of the pipe body 61 and a second folded piece 77 folded back from the outer piece 76 to the inner periphery side. The inner piece 71 protrudes from the edge 62 of the pipe body 61 and continues to the inner periphery side. The outer piece 76 continues to the edge 63 of the pipe body 61.
In the crimped portion 65, the inner piece 71, the second folded piece 77, the first folded piece 72, and the outer piece 76 are overlapped in this order from the inner periphery side to the outer periphery side of the winding pipe 6. The first folded piece 72 is disposed between the outer piece 76 and the second folded piece 77, and the second folded piece 77 is disposed between the inner piece 71 and the first folded piece 72. A continuous portion 78 (a portion folded from the edge portion 62 and protruding to the inner periphery side) where the inner piece 71 is continuous with the edge portion 62 forms one end in the width direction of the crimped portion 65, and a continuous portion 79 (folded portion) of the inner piece 71 and the first folded piece 72 forms the other end in the width direction of the crimped portion 65. The crimped portion 65 is disposed at a position on a virtual line V2 that intersects with the virtual line V1 at an angle θ of 90° or more and passes through the axis C.

In the above-described shutter 1, the dimension between the side surface 921 of the recess 92 and the continuous portion 78 is smaller than the dimension L between the continuous portion 78 and the continuous portion 79 of the crimped portion 65 (the width dimension of the crimped portion 65). In this embodiment, the width dimension L of the crimped portion 65 is about 8 mm. Also, the dimension between the bottom surface 923 of the recess 92 and the inner piece portion 71 is smaller than the width dimension L of the crimped portion 65. Therefore, even if the crimped portion 65 tries to come off, the crimped portion 65 comes into contact with the bottom surface 923 or the side surface 921, so that the crimped portion 65 is prevented from coming off.

[Second embodiment]
A second embodiment of the present invention will now be described.
The shutter according to the second embodiment is formed in a manner generally similar to the shutter 1 according to the first embodiment, but as shown in FIG. 3, it includes a winding pipe 6B in place of the winding pipe 6 described above.
Compared to the winding pipe 6, the winding pipe 6B has a crimped portion 65B formed at a different position from the previously described crimped portion 65. The crimped portion 65B protrudes from the outer periphery of the winding pipe 6B, and is disposed above the mounting position when the slat 41A is mounted on the winding pipe 6B in the position shown in Fig. 3. Since the crimped portion 65B abuts against the upper portion of the slat 41A to perform the positioning function, the previously described positioning portion 613 is not formed on the winding pipe 6B.
The slat 41A is the same as that in the first embodiment, and in the mounted state on the winding pipe 6B, one end 411 of the slat 41A (the upper end in FIG. 3) has a side surface 412 that faces a continuous portion 78B (described later) of the crimped portion 65B in the circumferential direction, and in the second embodiment, the side surface 412 abuts against the continuous portion 78B to position the slat 41A. The slat 41A has an inner surface 413 that is continuous with the side surface 412. The crimped portion 65B is covered from the outer periphery by the side surface 412 and the inner surface 413 (the portion that is continuous with the side surface 412) of the slat 41A.

The crimped portion 65B has a first piece 70B and a second piece 75B. The first piece 70B has an inner piece 71B located on the inner periphery side of the pipe body 61 and a first folded piece 72B folded back from the inner piece 71B to the outer periphery side. The second piece 75B has an outer piece 76B located on the outer periphery side of the pipe body 61 and a second folded piece 77B folded back from the outer piece 76B to the inner periphery side. The outer piece 76B is continuous and protrudes from the edge portion 63B of the pipe body 61 to the outer periphery side. The inner piece 71B is continuous to the edge portion 62B of the pipe body 61.
In the crimped portion 65B, the inner piece 71B, the second folded piece 77B, the first folded piece 72B, and the outer piece 76B are overlapped in this order from the inner periphery side to the outer periphery side of the winding pipe 6B. The first folded piece 72B is disposed between the outer piece 76B and the second folded piece 77B, and the second folded piece 77B is disposed between the inner piece 71B and the first folded piece 72B. A continuous portion 78B (a portion folded from the edge portion 63B and protruding toward the outer periphery side) where the outer piece 76B is continuous with the edge portion 63B forms one end in the width direction of the crimped portion 65B, and a continuous portion 79B (folded portion) of the outer piece 76B and the second folded piece 77B forms the other end in the width direction of the crimped portion 65B.

The dimension between the side surface 412 of the slat 41A and the continuous portion 78B is smaller than the dimension between the continuous portions 78B and 79B (the width dimension of the crimped portion 65B). In addition, the dimension between the inner surface 413 of the slat 41A and the outer piece portion 76B is smaller than the width dimension of the crimped portion 65B. Therefore, even if the crimped portion 65B tries to come off, the crimped portion 65B comes into contact with the inner surface 413 or the side surface 412, so the crimped portion 65B is prevented from coming off.

[Third embodiment]
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The shutter of the third embodiment is formed in a manner generally similar to that of the shutter of the second embodiment, but, as shown in Figure 5, a mounting part 100 is attached to the winding pipe 6B using a screw 7 and a back plate 8, and a plurality of slats 81 connected vertically and constituting the shutter surface material 4 are connected to the mounting part 100.
The mounting part 100 has a mounting part 101 having a pair of side pieces and a bottom piece and formed with a generally concave cross section, a groove part 102 continuing downward from one side piece of the mounting part 101 in Fig. 5, and a curved plate-like covering part 103 continuing upward from the other side piece of the mounting part 101 in Fig. 5. The mounting part 101 is screwed to the winding pipe 6B with the screws 7, the slat 81 is connected to the groove part 102, and the covering part 103 covers the crimped part 65B from the outer periphery.
A protrusion 104 is formed on the bottom piece of the mounting part 101 and is disposed at the opening of the recess 611 to abut against the locking piece 616 , and the mounting part 100 is positioned by abutting against the locking piece 616 .
The covering portion 103 has a side surface 106 formed at an end portion 105 separated from the mounting portion 101, and an inner surface 107 continuous with the side surface 106. In the circumferential direction of the winding pipe 6B, the side surface 106 faces the continuous portion 78B of the crimped portion 65B, and the inner surface 107, which is a portion continuous with the side surface 106, covers the crimped portion 65B from the outer circumferential side.

The dimension between the side surface 106 of the mounting part 100 and the continuous portion 78B is smaller than the dimension between the continuous portion 78B and the continuous portion 79B (the width dimension of the crimped portion 65B). Also, the dimension between the inner surface 107 and the outer piece portion 76B is smaller than the width dimension of the crimped portion 65B. Therefore, even if the crimped portion 65B tries to come off, the crimped portion 65B comes into contact with the inner surface 107 or the side surface 106, so the crimped portion 65B is prevented from coming off.

[Modification]
In the first to third embodiments, the winding pipes 6, 6B are made of steel plates, but the winding pipes 6, 6B may be made by roll-forming a metal plate made of a metal material such as aluminum. Also, the slats 41 may be made of other materials instead of steel.
In the first embodiment, the dimension between the bottom surface 923 and the inner piece 71 is smaller than the width dimension L of the crimped portion 65, but it may be equal to or larger than the width dimension L. Also, in the second and third embodiments, the dimension between the inner surface 107, 413 and the outer piece 76B is smaller than the width dimension of the crimped portion 65B, but it may be equal to or larger than the width dimension of the crimped portion 65B.
In the first to third embodiments, the crimping portions 65, 65B are crimped by arranging each piece as described above, but other crimping shapes may be used as long as the side surfaces 106, 412, and 921 can prevent the crimping from coming off. In addition, in the case of a crimping portion having another crimping shape, the crimping may be prevented from coming off by the side surface 922 of the recess 92, the crimping may be prevented from coming off by the side surface formed by deformation when the slat 41A is screwed, or the crimping may be prevented from coming off by the side surface of the side piece on the cover portion 103 side of the mounting portion 101.
In the first embodiment, the recess 92 is formed in the auxiliary wheel 9, but the recess 92 may be similarly formed in other accessories such as the wheels 11 and 12. In addition, a dedicated part having the recess 92 for preventing the crimp from coming off may be used as an accessory to the winding pipe 6.
In the second embodiment, the side surface 412 of the slat 41A abuts against the crimped portion 65B, but may be disposed away from the crimped portion 65B in the circumferential direction.
In the third embodiment, the side surface 106 of the mounting part 100 is disposed at a circumferential interval from the crimped portion 65B, but the mounting part may be positioned by abutting against the crimped portion 65B. In addition, when positioning is performed as described above or when positioning is not required, the configuration of the protrusion 104 may be omitted.
