Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a rotating window whose shoji can be rotated up and down on the horizontal axis.

A window is an opening that forms part of the outer wall of a building, and has the function of controlling the transmission and blocking of light, heat, sound, rain, wind, etc.

The function of a window depends on the performance of the window glass, and in terms of insulation performance, double glazing is used because it is difficult to obtain good insulation with single glazing, but the air space between the glass panes improves performance. Since this is intended to improve performance, it is difficult to expect a dramatic improvement in performance.

In addition, regarding sound insulation, in the case of double-glazed glass, it is not effective unless the glass spacing is several 10 mm or more, and when considering the window as part of the exterior wall, conventional windows have extremely low heat and sound insulation properties compared to the exterior wall. That's enough.

Therefore, it does not impair the transmission function of openings in buildings, and
There is a demand for a window configuration that can satisfy the sound blocking function as an external wall component.

The present invention is a horizontal axis rotating shoji that can rotate 180 degrees up and down, and a double shoji glass.
3. The upper and lower shoji frames are made hollow and these spaces are communicated with the spaces between the double panes of the shoji, and valve devices are provided to open and close these communication passages, respectively, and 4. the space chamber is provided with at least a space between the double panes of glass. Contains a fluid substance consisting of granules, powder, or liquid in an amount that fills the space, and spreads the shoji vertically.
By rotating the screen 80 degrees, the fluid substance flows from inside the shoji frame to between the double-glazed windows and vice versa, dramatically improving the performance of heat insulation, sound insulation, light shielding, and light transmission. It is.

To explain the embodiment of the present invention shown in the drawings, the first embodiment is as follows.
In Fig. a, Fig. 16, and Fig. 2a, A is a window frame, and B is a shoji, and the shoji B is rotatably supported by the window frame A on horizontal axes 1, 1, and constitutes a horizontal axis rotating shoji. are doing.

The upper frames 2 and 2' of the shoji B are hollow frames, and their internal spaces A and A' communicate with the space openings between the double glass windows 3 and 3' of the shoji at openings 4 and 4', respectively. Reference numerals 5 and 5' are valve devices for opening and closing these openings 4 and 4', respectively.

C and C' are fluid granular, powdery or liquid different substances accommodated in the spaces A and I.

As the above-mentioned fluid substance, depending on the purpose of use, for example, the following can be used alone or in combination.

Insulation purposes: Granular urethane foam, granular styrene foam, powdered perlite, heat-absorbing spheres (with paraffin), shiraparoon Sound insulation purposes: Iron sand, sound-absorbing vermiculite, viscosity Liquid human plastic sphere, light shielding purpose: opaque material, heat-absorbing material, design purpose: colored material of the above materials,
Colored liquid (water).

As shown in FIG. 2a, the opening 4 is opened by the valve arrangement 5, 5'.
Different types of fluid substances C and C' are accommodated in the shoji frames 2 and 2', respectively, with J4' closed.

In this case, the double glazing 3, 31 functions as ordinary window glass.

From this state, if the valve device 5 is operated to open the opening 4 as shown in FIG.
It flows into the space opening between 3'.

When the shoji is turned 180 degrees up and down from this state, the fluid between the double panes flows into the lower frame 2 from between the double panes.

Similarly, the fluid substance C' in the stile 2' can be made to flow between the double panes of glass and back into the stile 2 by operating the valve device and turning the shoji.

Therefore, by storing a fluid material for insulation purposes and a fluid material for sound insulation purposes in the frames 2 and 2', respectively, the shoji can be used as an insulation shoji and a sound insulation shoji.

Further, by storing an endothermic material and a heat insulating material in the frames 2 and 2', respectively, the shoji can be used as a heat-absorbing shoji and a heat-insulating shoji.

Furthermore, if fluid substances colored in different colors are stored in the 2nd and 2nd sills, the operation of the valve device and the 180 sq.
By rotating the shoji, the shoji can be made into shoji of two different colors to create a design effect.

Figures 4a to 4c show a horizontal shaft support device for rotating a shoji, in which the horizontal shaft 1 is fixed to the left and right frames of the shoji by an integral mounting plate 1', and the horizontal shaft 1 is fixed to the left and right frames of the window frame A. The bearing 1b is fixed and supported by an integral mounting plate 1'b.

Figures 5a and 5b show an embodiment of the present invention in a sliding shoji window, in which the left and right frames of the horizontally rotating shoji B and B are placed 180 degrees inside the outer stile A'8' of the sliding shoji. It is built in such a way that it can be rotated.

Figures 6a, 6b, and 6c show an embodiment of the present invention for a single-opening shoji window, in which the outer stile A' of the single-opening shoji is supported on the window frame A at the horizontal axis 1, and the shoji outer stile is A shoji frame is hinged to the inside of A' using hinges h.

In short, the present invention can be applied to various types of windows by incorporating horizontal rotating shoji into other types of windows, or by incorporating other types of windows into horizontal rotating windows. It is.

FIGS. 7 to 13 show still other embodiments of the present invention, in which an endothermic material is used as the fluid material, the heat is absorbed during the day, and the heat is released at night. It is designed to supply warm air to the

That is, in FIGS. 7 and 8, for example, the 13th
As shown in the figure, a heat exchanger H is housed, which is made of a thin metal plate and has a number of fins protruding from the outside to form an air passage 10 in a zigzag shape, and one opening of the air passage is an intake port 11. The other opening is used as an exhaust port 12, and these intake ports 11 and exhaust ports 12 are opened toward the indoor side at one end and the other end of the stile 2, as shown in FIG.

On the exhaust port side, as shown in FIG. 10, a sirotsko fan 14 and its drive motor 15 are attached to a base plate 13, which is covered with a lid plate 16 having an exhaust port 12.

For example, the intake port 11 and the exhaust port 12 are shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, opening/closing plates 17 and 18 can be provided that open under the action of the shoji sill's own weight below the turning position, and close under its own weight above the shoji frame.

In the case of this embodiment, an endothermic substance is used as a fluid substance housed in one frame of the shoji, and during the daytime, the fluid substance is filled between the shoji glasses 3 and 3 as shown in Figure 7. At night, as shown in Figure 8, the shoji is rotated so that the shoji stile 2 is on the lower side, and the fluid substance is stored in the stile 2. By operating the valve device of the upper stile 2', Frame 2
After the heat insulating material in the frame 2 flows between the double panes of glass to improve the heat insulating properties, the fan 14 of the frame 2 is rotated to take in air from the intake port 12, and the air passes through the heat exchanger H where it comes into contact with the fluid material that has absorbed heat. By doing so, the air whose temperature has increased can be sent into the room from the exhaust port 12.

A layer 22 made of a heat insulating material is provided on the stile 2 to prevent loss of heat to the outside of the stile.

The current is supplied to and cut off from the fan motor 14 by connecting it to the power source using a cord 19 inserted into the hollow shaft of the shoji as shown in FIG. 9, or by providing an outlet 20 in the frame 2 and inserting it. This can be done by attaching and detaching the plug 21.

According to the present invention, as described above, in a horizontally rotating double glass shoji, the performance of heat insulation, sound insulation, light shielding, etc. of the shoji is significantly improved by appropriately selecting the fluid substances contained in the upper and lower hollow frames. It is something that can be done.
