Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a partition wall panel (hereinafter referred to as a panel) that connects opposing panels to each other.

In the large wall method of partitioning, a single panel has a top plate attached to only one side, and the panels are placed one after another with the back sides facing each other, creating joints and grooves. In the case of a large wall with minimal exposure of studs, etc.,
To fix the opposing panels, fix the left and right ends respectively.
This is done by securing it to the studs.

It involves inserting and fixing two (opposing) panels within the framework of the ceiling rail and floor rail via studs.

However, since it is a so-called large wall, if only the ends of the panel are fixed, the central part will be weak and the wall structure will lack stability. One way to deal with this is to put a reinforcing column in the center of the panel, but this is done to meet the need to strongly pull the opposing panels together and make the large wall itself stable. It won't be.

In this regard, a method has been developed for connecting panels by attaching male and female fitting means to the back side of the panels themselves.

The present invention also relates to this method. That is, in a large wall system, this is a device for strongly connecting and fixing opposing panels at the middle part of the panels.

Conventionally, panels use metal products for the front plate and gypsum board material for the back plate, but gypsum board material is used to attach connectors.
Since it has poor adhesive strength and is weak in strength, it is difficult and there is a risk that the connection may become unstable. In particular, when connecting panels that are heavy and have a large shape, the connecting tool itself is large and heavy, causing further problems.

Furthermore, regarding the fit of the connector, there are many cases in which the two panels are not oriented correctly or are misaligned at the location of the connector, impairing work efficiency.

The present invention solves these problems in the conventional methods by utilizing a slightly different idea from the conventional methods and the characteristics of the large wall method. That is, in the large-wall method, the connection of opposing panels may move somewhat in the left-right direction of the panels. When installing panels one after another, the ends of each panel are brought together and pushed in tightly, so as the number of panels increases, the left and right movement of the panels is restricted, and in the end, the entire left and right movement is restricted. Because the movement is fixed. Since the fitting of the connector is achieved only by the back and forth movement of the panel, the fitted state must strongly restrict back and forth movement. Since the panels are allowed to move up and down, it is possible to release them even when they are firmly mated or by lifting them up. For example, a flat and large connecting plate is attached to a backing material such as a gypsum board material, and the fitting means, which was conventionally formed integrally with the connecting plate, is made into a separate component.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The mounting plate 1 is a fairly large square (100 x 150 mm in the example) as a mounting seat plate for the connector.
Also, as a seat plate, a metal flat plate 2 having considerable thickness and hardness (thickness 10 to 15 mm in the example) is used.
It becomes more. Then, at the top and bottom ends of the flat plate 2, leave a small piece (10 mm width in the example) at the end,
Remove the notched groove and attach the small piece to the pillar stopper 3,
3, 3, 3. At the time of construction (use), the pillar stopper part 3 is cut by about 10 mm.Fold it at right angles to the top of the flat plate 2 along the line at the end of the groove, and then fold it back to the original direction at about 5 mm. Raise it in parallel.

Parallel (symmetrical) to the horizontal center line of the flat plate 2, make two upper, lower, and center cuts (leaving the left and right sides left open), and use these as parallel lines 4, 4. At both ends of the paired lines 4, 4, cuts are made at right angles upward from the upper paired line 4 and downward from the lower paired line to form kerf grooves 5.

A small piece surrounded by the cut grooves 5, 5 and the diagonal line 4 is bent upward at right angles on a line connecting the tips of the cut grooves 5, 5, and the thickness of the spring steel plate is adjusted to fit the fitting groove (in the example). 1 to 2 mm), and then bend the tip parallel to the flat plate 2 toward the horizontal center line.
The opposing parts are referred to as locking rail parts 6.

The above is the structure of the mounting plate 1. In the embodiment, small diagonal cuts are made on the four sides of the flat plate 2 as adhesion reinforcing means.
Although the wedge protrusions 7, 7, . . . are bent at right angles below the flat plate 2, other known means may be used.

The male connectors 8 and 9 are attached by inserting both ends into the fitting grooves of the locking rail portion 6 and sliding them left and right.The male connectors 8 and 9 are each made by joining two pieces of the same shape. It is what it is. As the material, a spring steel plate (0.4 mm in the example) is used, which is sufficient to provide a sufficiently firm connection and retention in relation to the size and weight of the panel body or in environmental conditions such as vibration.

The upper and lower widths of the spring steel plate serving as the rectangular flat substrate 10 are the length between the tips of the opposing grooves 5, 5 of the mounting plate 1, and the corner angle 11 on one side forming the left and right sides. 11 is cut out slightly diagonally to make it easier to insert and fit into the locking rail part 6, and the corner 1 of the other side forming the left and right sides is
1 and 11 are also cut small to form notched portions 12,
12 is a device that makes it easier to bend the steel plate from the other side. A straight rod that is bent at a right angle and projected from the other side is called a bent rod 13.

The tip of the bending rod 13 is slightly bent inward (towards the substrate 10) at one place to form a triangular part 14 and a male piece 22. The tip of the triangular portion 14 is on the extension of the bending rod 13.

Further, the tip of the triangular portion 14 of the bending rod 13 of the male piece 22 is further bent inward at one place to form an opening piece 15 to form the female piece 23.

The male connector 8 is made by joining two male pieces 22, 22 by aligning the surfaces of the substrates 10, 10 at the side where the notch 12 is located, and aligning the bending rods 13, 13 parts, The bending rod 13 is connected to the substrate 10,1
0, it becomes T-shaped. The tip portion that has become a mating projection is defined as a male projection 16.

Similar to the male connector 8, the female connector 9 is made by connecting the two female parts 23, 23 with the surfaces of the substrates 10, 10 aligned, aligning the bending rods 13, 13, and connecting the two female parts 23, 23 with a T.
It is a combination of glyphs, shapes, and shapes. At its tip, two opening pieces 15, 15 form an introduction part 17 in the shape of an open palm.

The above is the configuration of the present invention.

Next, a method of using this and its effects will be described.
The panel 18 uses gypsum po material as a backing material 19. On the surfaces of the lining materials 19, 19 of the two panels 18, 18 placed oppositely,
At positions directly facing each other, the mounting plates 1,
Attach and fix 1. In that case, the wedge protrusions 7, 7,,, are inserted inside the backing material 17,
To ensure the adhesion and fixation of a mounting plate 1. Note that the mounting plate 1 is generally already mounted on the panel 18 at the time of shipment from the factory. Pillar stopper part 3 required for frame pillar per (horizontal stop)
Let's wake up.

Next, one mounting plate 1 of one panel 18
, insert the base plate 10 of the female connector 9 into the fitting groove of the locking rail part 6 so as to place it on the flat plate 2 of the mounting plate 1, and while fitting it in the lateral (left and right) direction, Slide it in and lock it in place using the locking rail section 6. Similarly, on another mounting plate 1 of another panel 18, the board 10 of the male connector 8 is slid and fitted into the fitting groove in the locking rail part 6, and the male connector 8 is fitted. Attach to the mounting plate.

As a result of the above, a means for connecting the two panels 18, 18 at their back surfaces has been created.
By sandwiching the intermediate pillar 20 and pressing the panels 18 together from opposite sides, the male connector 8
The male protrusion 16 passes through the introduction part of the female connector 9 and tightly wraps around the male protrusion 16 to receive it.
Since the widths of the mounting plates 1, 1 and the male and female connectors 8, 9 are equal to that of the intermediate column 20 when they are fitted in the fitting portion 21 and connected, they are tightened together. A rigid connection and fixation can be obtained.

Similarly, in the plurality of male and female connectors 8 and 9 attached to the panel 18, the aforementioned connections are made simultaneously, and the forward and backward movements are strictly suppressed by strong spring restraints.

The above-mentioned effects of the connection of the present invention are that first, the mounting plate can be easily attached to the backing material, and the attachment has sufficient strength. That is, this part, which is usually called a seat plate, is molded integrally with other parts such as a protruding part, but in the present invention, it is formed into a two-plate shape, excluding other parts. This makes it possible to bond over large and wide surfaces.

Next, if a high-strength spring steel plate is used, it will be difficult to fit it together, but this method uses the back-and-forth movement of the panel body and concentrates force only on the front male of the male protrusion 16, making it possible to fit it together. was easily made and a solid bond was obtained. Note that even in the fitted state, the panel 18 can be slid up and down.
It is also possible to cover (compensate for) vertical misalignment of the male and female connectors 8 and 9.

Slide the board 10 between the locking rail parts 6 against the left and right deviations of the male and female connectors 8 and 9,
By making fine adjustments, you can easily obtain the correct orientation.

In addition, since the pillar fixing portions 3 of the mounting plate 1 are not bent during the transportation of the panel 18, the mounting plate 1, which is firmly attached to the correct position at the factory, may cause improper loading. ,
There is no risk of damaging the panel 18. Pillar stopper part 3
It also serves as a grip when removing the mounting plate 1 from the panel 18.

The present invention creates excellent effects in panel connection in a large wall system.
