Description

The present invention relates to a method for installing a brake device for an opening/closing door device, which is a door device that opens and closes by moving a door body in the opening width direction, such as a sliding door device, a hanging door device, a folding door device, or a balanced door, and also to an opening/closing door device installation structure.

A conventional door opening/closing device, as described in Patent Document 1, for example, includes a support bracket provided on the wall surface above the opening in the width direction of the opening, a guide rail protruding from the support bracket and continuing in the width direction of the opening, a hoist that rolls on the rail, and a door body suspended from the hoist, and the opening is opened and closed by the door body that moves with the rolling of the hoist. In this door opening/closing device, the part above the door body that extends in the width direction of the opening is sometimes called a crosspiece.
This opening and closing door device can automatically close the door by tilting the guide rail in the closing direction or by being equipped with a mechanism for pulling the door body in the closing direction with a wire.

However, with the above-mentioned conventional technology, when the door body is closed forcefully, it may come into strong contact with the opposing vertical frame on the closing side, generating a loud impact noise or vibration, or the door body may bounce back and open.
Therefore, it is conceivable to install a braking device to reduce the closing speed of the door body, but the space inside the gate is limited in terms of the vertical dimension and the door thickness direction. In particular, when installing a braking device after the existing door opening and closing device, it is expected that the space inside the gate will be insufficient.

In view of the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration.
A method for installing a brake device for an opening/closing door device, which is provided with a base that extends in the opening width direction along the upper wall surface of the opening, and a door body that opens and closes in the opening width direction along the base, and which installs a brake device for slowing down the speed of the door body, the method comprising the steps of: forming a through-hole forming process in which a through-hole that penetrates through the base toward the wall surface; and installing a part of the brake device inside the through-hole.

1 to 4 show an opening/closing door device 1 before the application of the installation method for a braking device for an opening/closing door device according to the present invention.
The opening and closing door device 1 is configured to open and close an opening A, which penetrates a structural wall of a building or the like in a vertically long rectangular shape, in the width direction by a door body 10 (see Figs. 1 and 2).

The opening and closing door device 1 is a sliding door device that includes a door body 10 that moves in the opening width direction to open and close the opening A, a door end side vertical frame 20 that faces the door end of the door body 10, a lower rail 31 that guides the door body 10 in the opening and closing direction from below, a transom 40 that covers the upper end side of the door body 10, and an automatic closing device 60 that automatically closes the door body 10 in the open state.

The door body 10 is a member that opens and closes in the opening width direction along a base 41 within a transom 40 .
The door body 10 comprises a front plate 11 and a back plate 12 (see FIG. 4) which are generally parallel and spaced apart in the door thickness direction, and a plurality of frames which fix the front plate 11 and the back plate 12 together on the inside.

Of the multiple aggregates, the uppermost aggregate is a horizontal aggregate 13 that spans almost the entire length of the width of the door body 10. According to an example shown in Figure 4, this horizontal aggregate 13 is formed in a crank-shaped vertical cross section, with a flat plate portion 13a that is almost horizontal in the door thickness direction, an upper protrusion portion 13b that protrudes upward from the front end of this flat plate portion 13a, and a lower protrusion portion 13c that protrudes downward from the back end of the flat plate portion 13a.

The upper surface of the flat plate portion 13a supports a hoist 14 that suspends the door body 10 and rolls on an upper rail 46 inside the transom 40. An automatic closing device 60 (see Figure 3) is also provided inside the door body 10, which pulls the open door body 10 in the closing direction to perform the closing operation.

The hoist 14 is arranged at the upper part of the door body 10 on the door end side.
The hoist 14 is supported on the upper end of the door front side of the door body 10 via a bracket 15 or the like so as to rotate about an axis in the door thickness direction. The hoist 14 protrudes upward from the door body 10 and engages with an upper rail 46.

A groove 16 that opens downward and extends across the width of the door is provided at the lower end of the door body 10 (see FIG. 3). A carriage 17 is supported in the groove 16 so as to protrude downward from the trailing edge of the door body 10.
This lower car 17 is rotatably supported by a bearing bracket 17 a fixed to the inner surface of the recessed groove 16 , and rolls on the lower rail 31 .

In addition, reference numeral 18 in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 denotes a handle for opening and closing the door body 10, and reference numeral 19 denotes a keyhole or thumb turn for the locking device.

The door-end vertical frame 20 is a long, columnar member that continues in the vertical direction and is fixed to the main wall surface so as to fit along the left edge of the opening A.
This door-end vertical frame 20 has a continuous groove in the vertical direction on the surface facing the door body 10 so that the door end of the door body 10 can fit into it.

The lower rail 31 is fixed to a lower immovable surface F (e.g., a floor surface, the ground, a door slide, etc.) of the door body 10. The lower rail 31 is formed in an elongated shape that protrudes from the lower immovable surface F and continues in the opening and closing direction of the door body.
One end of the lower rail 31 is located closer to the tail end of the door body 10 in the fully closed position (see Figure 1) and closer to the door tip than the carriage 17, and the other end of the lower rail 31 is located closer to the tail end of the door body 10 in the fully open position (see Figure 2) and closer to the tail end than the carriage 17.

In addition, a lower anti-sway member 32 is provided on the lower stationary surface F, closer to the door end than the lower rail 31. This lower anti-sway member 32 is a roller supported on the lower stationary surface F so as to rotate around an axis in the vertical direction, and is loosely fitted into the groove 16 to prevent the lower end of the door body 10 from swinging in the door thickness direction.

The transom 40 is configured to be long in the width direction so as to cover the entire length of the upper end portion of the door body 10 in the fully closed state in the opening and closing direction.
As shown in Figure 4, the transom 40 comprises a base 41 which supports the upper rail 46 and is attached to the wall W, and a front cover member 44 which is removably attached to the base 41 and covers the upper end of the door body 10 and the hoist 14, etc. from the front side.

In FIG. 4, reference numeral 21 denotes a vertical frame member that covers the edge of the end of the opening A in the vertical direction, reference numeral 22 denotes an upper frame member that covers the upper edge of the opening A, and reference numeral 23 denotes an airtight material that elastically contacts the back surface of the upper end of the door body 10 in the opening and closing direction.

The base 41 is a long, fixed member that extends along the upper wall surface w1 of the opening A in the width direction of the opening.
This base 41 is integrally provided with a rail side base member 41a to which the upper rail 46 is attached, a wall side base member 41b which is fastened to the wall portion W, and a top member 41c which covers the upper rail 46, the hoist 14, etc.

The rail side base member 41a has a substantially vertical, flat base plate portion 41a1 to which the upper rail 46 is attached. This base plate portion 41a1 is continuous in an elongated shape across the width of the opening.

The wall-side base member 41b is a member that extends in an elongated shape in the opening width direction above the opening A so as to cover a portion of the outdoor-side wall surface w1.
The wall-side base member 41b is fixed to the wall portion W by well-known fixing means such as screws, rivets, or welding.
In the illustrated example, reference numeral 41d denotes a fastening member such as a screw that fastens the overlapped wall-side base member 41b and top member 41c to the wall surface w1, and reference numeral 41e denotes a substantially cylindrical anchor member embedded in the wall portion W to screw in the fastening member 41d (see FIGS. 4 to 9).

In addition, the top member 41c is formed in an approximately L-shaped cross section from a fastening piece portion 41c1 that is overlapped and fastened to the wall side base member 41b and a top plate portion 41c2 that protrudes toward the outdoors from the upper end of the fastening piece portion 41c1, and continues in a long shape in the opening width direction.
This top member 41c may be formed as an integral member with the wall side base member 41b or the rail side base member 41a.

The rail-side base member 41a and the wall-side base member 41b are integrally formed with the fastening piece portion 41c1 of the top member 41c sandwiched therebetween (see FIG. 4).
The rail-side base member 41a and the top member 41c are detachably connected to the wall-side base member 41b. The means of connection may be, for example, screws, but rivets that can be removed by cutting or detachable fittings can also be used.

The wall W is a wall of the structure of the building or the like in which the door opening/closing device 1 is to be installed, and is made of concrete, mortar, or the like. Anchors (not shown) for fixing the wall-side base member 41b, the upper frame member 22, and the like are embedded in the wall W as necessary.

In FIG. 4, reference numeral 101 denotes the ceiling of the structure on which the door opening/closing device 1 is to be installed, reference numeral 102 denotes the outer wall of the structure, reference numeral 103 denotes a batten-like member that is attached to the wall W so as to cover the upper end of the base 41, and reference numeral 104 denotes a filler that covers the batten-like member 103 and seals the gap between the lower end of the outer wall 102 and the ceiling member 41c.

An upper rail 46 is provided on the base 41 so as to protrude from the base portion 41a1 and to be continuous in the opening width direction.
The upper rail 46 is a long member with an approximately L-shaped cross section that continues in the opening width direction, with one vertical end attached to the base plate portion 41a1 and the other end protruding horizontally from the base plate portion 41a1 on which the hoist 14 is placed and engaged (see Figure 4).
The length of the upper rail 46 is set so as to include the range in which the hoist 14 moves in conjunction with the opening and closing operation of the door body 10.
In the drawing, the reference symbol 41f denotes a fastener (for example, a screw or a bolt) for fastening the upper rail 46 to the base plate portion 41a1.

The automatic closing device 60 is configured such that one end of a wire 61, the other end of which is attached to a fixed portion within the blind 40, is wound up by a reel 62 having a power spring inside (see FIG. 3).
According to this automatic closing device 60, the door body 10 in an open state automatically closes from the fully open position (see FIG. 2) to the fully closed position (see FIG. 1).

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 71 denotes a fastening portion that is a fixed portion to which one end of the wire 61 is fastened, reference numeral 72 denotes a vibration prevention member that prevents the upper side of the door body 10 from swinging in the thickness direction, and reference numeral 73 denotes a door stop member that receives the bracket 15 of the hoist 14 when the door body 10 is fully open. The fastening portion 71, the vibration prevention member 72, and the door stop member 73 are configured as an integrated assembly and are fixed to the base member 41.

Next, we will explain in detail the procedure for installing a brake device 50 for slowing down the closing speed of the door body 10 by applying the installation method for the brake device for an opening/closing door device of the present invention to the opening/closing door device 1 configured as described above.

First, remove the front cover member 44 from the opening and closing door device 1, then remove the door body 10, the hoist 14, the rail side base member 41a, and the top member 41c, etc., to expose the wall side base member 41b (see Figure 5).

Next, the through holes 41a11, 41b11, and 41c11 that penetrate toward the wall portion W are formed in the rail-side base member 41a, the wall-side base member 41b, and the top member 41c that constitute the base 41 (through hole formation process).

In the through-portion forming step, the through-portion 41b11 for the wall-side base member 41b is provided at a position lower than the portion where the upper rail 46 is attached, closer to the tail end side than the hoisting wheel 14, and immediately above the lower carriage 17 (see FIG. 12). The through-portion 41b11 is formed in a shape and size that allows the rotary damper unit 51, which will be described later, to be loosely inserted therein.
The through portion 41b11 may be formed using a general cutting tool such as a grinder.

The removed rail-side base member 41a and top member 41c are provided with through-holes 41a11 and 41c11 of a shape and size that allows the rotary damper unit 51 to be loosely inserted at positions corresponding to the through-hole 41b11 of the wall-side base member 41b. These through-holes can also be formed using general cutting tools, machine tools, etc.

Next, a notch w2 communicating with the through-holes 41a11, 41b11, and 41c11 is formed in the wall W. The notch w2 may be formed by partially scraping out the concrete, mortar, or the like that constitutes the wall W using a general tool such as an electric hammer.
The shape, size, depth, etc. of the cutout portion w2 are appropriately set so that the rotary damper unit 51 can be placed therein.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the top member 41c and the rail-side base member 41a, in which the through-holes 41a11, 41c11 are formed, are attached to the wall-side base member 41b.
The rail side base member 41a and the top member 41c may have the through-holes 41a11, 41c11 formed on-site, or may be replaced with ones in which the through-holes 41a11, 41c11 have been machined in advance at a factory or the like.

Next, the upper rail 46 is attached (screwed in the illustrated example) to the base plate portion 41a1, and the rotary damper unit 51, which is part of the braking device 50, is installed inside the through-holes 41a11, 41b11, 41c11 and the cutout portion w2 (installation process).

The braking device 50 comprises a rotary damper unit 51 with the teeth of the braking gear 51c facing to the side, and a rack 52 provided on the door body 10 so as to mesh with the teeth of the braking gear 51c.

The rotary damper unit 51 includes a casing 51a, a rotating shaft 51b protruding downward from the casing 51a, a braking gear 51c fixed to the rotating shaft 51b, a rotational resistance adjustment member 51d exposed on the upper side of the casing 51a, and a bracket 51f for attaching the casing 51a to a stationary part, and is configured to adjust the rotational resistance of the rotating shaft 51b according to the amount of rotation (rotation angle) of the rotational resistance adjustment member 51d.

Inside the casing 51a, there are provided a rotor that rotates integrally with the rotating shaft 51b, a viscous fluid that applies rotational resistance to the rotor, and a mechanism that adjusts the rotational resistance according to the amount of rotation of the rotational resistance adjustment member 51d. This mechanism applies resistance to the rotation of the rotating shaft 51b in one direction (in the illustrated example, the direction corresponding to the closing direction of the door body 10) and releases the resistance when the rotating shaft 51b rotates in the opposite direction.
In addition, a general one-way type rotary damper mechanism can be applied to the basic structure inside the casing 51a.

The brake gear 51c is formed in the shape of a spur gear with teeth on its outer periphery. The teeth of the brake gear 51c mesh with the teeth of the rack 52.

The rotational resistance adjusting member 51d is located on the upper side of the casing 51a, and is formed in a generally disk shape that is radially larger than the brake gear 51c and also radially larger than the cylindrical portion of the casing 51a.
The central axis of this rotational resistance adjusting member 51d is connected to a mechanism that adjusts the rotational resistance of the rotating shaft 51b within the casing 51a.
The rotational resistance adjusting member 51d shown in FIG. 14 has a polygonal outer periphery and a scale 51d1 on the lower surface that indicates the amount of rotation.
When the rotational resistance adjusting member 51d rotates a predetermined amount, it is engaged with a bracket 51f, so that the rotation angle is limited.

The rotary damper unit 51 configured as described above has a portion of the teeth of the braking gear 51c and a portion of the outer periphery of the rotational resistance adjustment member 51d protruding from the through-hole 41a11 to the outside, and is inserted into the spaces within the through-holes 41a11, 41b11, 41c11 and the notch w2 (see Figures 7 and 8), and is attached to the portion of the base plate 41a1 below the upper rail 46.

At this time, multiple spacers 53a are sandwiched between the base side fastening piece 51f2 of the bracket 51f and the rail side base member 41a, and a screw member 51j (e.g., a screw or bolt) is inserted into the base side fastening piece 51f2 and the spacer 53a, and the threaded portion of this screw member 51j is screwed into the base plate portion 41a1.

The spacer 53a is formed in a generally flat shape so that it can be inserted between the base plate 41a1 and the base-side fastening piece 51f2 from the door-end side toward the door-end side (see FIG. 13). The part on the insertion direction side has a notch 53a1 that fits onto the screw shafts of multiple (two in the illustrated example) screw-fitting members 51j, and the end on the opposite side to the insertion direction has a positioning piece 53a2 that is bent into an L-shape so as to contact the end of the base-side fastening piece 51f2.

After the rotary damper unit 51 is installed, the door body 10' is installed by hanging the hoist 14 on the upper rail 46 and placing the lower carriage 17 on the lower rail 31. The door body 10' may be an improved version of the door body 10 removed in the above process, or it may be one that has been produced in advance in a factory, etc.

The door body 10 ′ is configured by attaching a rack 52 to the door body 10 via a bracket 54 .
That is, the door body 10 not having the rack 52 is replaced with a door body 10 ′ having the rack 52 .

The rack 52 is fixed to the upper side of the rear surface of the door body 10 ′, closer to the door tail than the hoist 14 , with its teeth arranged in a straight line facing the base plate portion 41 a 1 of the base 41 .
More specifically, a bracket 54 is fixed to the upper end of the door body 10', continuing in the width direction of the opening, and a rack 52 is fitted and fixed to this bracket 54 (see FIG. 9).
As another example, the rack 52 may be fixed directly to the upper end of the door body 10', or the rack 52 may be fixed directly or indirectly to the rear surface of the door body 10'.

When the door body 10' is installed, the rack 52 meshes with the brake gear 51c. The amount of this meshing can be easily adjusted by changing the number of spacers 53a.

Then, the front cover member 44 is attached to the outdoor end of the top member 41c, completing the opening and closing door device 1' equipped with the braking device 50. At the same time, this opening and closing door device 1' is installed on the wall part W to form the opening and closing device installation structure.

Next, the characteristic functions and effects of the above-mentioned embodiment will be described in detail.
According to the above-mentioned method for installing the braking device for an opening/closing door device, the braking device 50 can be easily installed on an existing opening/closing door device that does not have the braking device 50 without increasing the size of the interlock 40.

In other words, according to the above embodiment, the rotary damper unit 51 and the rack 52 are arranged horizontally, and a part of the rotary damper unit 51 is arranged within the through-holes 41a11, 41b11, 41c11 and the notch w2, so there is no need to secure a large installation space for the rotary damper unit 51 within the blind 40, and there is no need to enlarge the blind 40 in the vertical direction.

In addition, the above-mentioned method for installing the braking device for the opening and closing door device allows the components that make up the existing opening and closing door device 1 to be used as is.

In addition, since no hoist is provided on the tail end of the door body 10, the braking device 50 can be installed without having to worry about interference with the tail end hoist, and the braking device 50 is also easy to maintain.

<Modification>
According to the above embodiment, a notch w2 is formed in the wall W and a part of the rotary damper unit 51 is inserted into this notch w2. However, as another example, if there is already space on the back side (indoor side) of the base 41 due to on-site conditions, etc., the process of forming the notch w2 may be omitted and a part of the rotary damper unit 51 may be inserted into this space.

As an additional configuration to the above embodiment, a concave case may be inserted into the notch w2 so as to cover the inner surface of the notch w2, and a part of the rotary damper unit 51 may be inserted into this case. With this configuration, the case can prevent chips, condensation water, foreign matter, etc. generated on the wall W side from adhering to the braking device 50.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the rotary damper unit 51 is fixed to the base 4, but as another example, it is also possible to fix the rotary damper unit 51 to the wall W (specifically, the wall surface w1, the inner surface of the notch w2, etc.).

In addition, according to the above-mentioned door opening/closing device 1' (see FIG. 10), the rotary damper unit 51 and the notch w2 are arranged corresponding to the end of the door body 10 in the closed state, but the rotary damper unit 51 and the notch w2 can also be arranged corresponding to the center or end of the door body 10 in the closed state, so long as they are located closer to the end of the door than the hoist 14. In this case, the mounting position of the rack 52 in the width direction is also changed to correspond to the rotary damper unit 51.

In the above embodiment, one rotary damper unit 51 and one rack 52 are provided, but as another example, it is possible to provide a plurality of either one or both of them in the opening width direction. In this way, the braking range can be extended, and more suitable closing operation can be achieved, for example, by providing two rotary damper units 51 at intervals in the opening width direction, applying braking in the early stage of the closing operation, releasing the braking in the middle stage, and applying braking again in the later stage.
When a plurality of rotary damper units 51 are provided in the opening width direction, a plurality of through-holes 41a11, 41b11, 41c11 and notches w2 may also be provided in the opening width direction in correspondence with the plurality of rotary damper units 51.

In addition, according to the above embodiment, the rotary damper unit 51 is installed in the through-holes 41a11, 41b11, 41c11 and the notch w2, and the rack 52 is provided on the door body 10. As another example, it is also possible to provide the rack 52 in the through-holes 41a11, 41b11, 41c11 and the notch w2, and provide the rotary damper unit 51 on the door body 10.

In addition, according to the above embodiment, the braking device 50 is provided to slow down the closing speed of the door body 10, but as another example, it is also possible to slow down the opening speed of the door body 10, or to slow down both the closing speed and opening speed of the door body 10.
In order to reduce the opening speed of the door body 10, a one-way type rotary damper mechanism that generates rotational resistance in the opposite direction to that described above may be used in the rotary damper unit 51.
In order to reduce both the closing speed and the opening speed of the door body 10, a rotary damper mechanism that generates rotational resistance in both directions may be used in the rotary damper unit 51.

In addition, before the brake device 50 is installed, the opening and closing door device 1 may be provided with a brake device other than the brake device 50 having the above configuration. In this case, the other brake device may be removed, or the other brake device may be left in place and used in conjunction with the brake device 50.
