Numerals 5 and 5'are fixed type hanger rails formed in a substantially H-shaped cross section. The hanger rails 5 and 5'are arranged so as to face each other in a Y shape or a cross shape as shown in FIG. Has been done. As shown in FIG. 4, reference numeral 6 denotes a turn rail disposed in the space where the hanger rails 5 and 5'oppose each other. The turn rail 6 is also formed in a substantially H-shaped cross section and rotates. It is arranged freely. Reference numeral 7 is a follower disposed in a part of the hanger rail 5 '. As shown in FIG. 5, the follower 7 is formed by cutting out an upper part of a vertical wall portion of the hanger rail 5', and in this part, the hanger is formed. A rotary shaft extending above the rail 5'is provided, and an arm 10 fixed to the rotary shaft 9 is rotatably provided. Further, 11 is a sprocket fixed to the upper end of the rotating shaft 9, and 12 is a coil spring arranged on the rotating shaft 9. The rotating shaft 9 and the sprocket 11 fixed to the coil spring 12, the follower 7 and the like are urged to rotate in one direction by the coil spring 12, and the follower 7 is normally attached to the hanger rail 5 '. It is arranged so as to project to the raceway surface. Reference numeral 13 is a turn rail mounting substrate for connecting the hanger rails 5 and 5'at the upper part thereof and rotatably mounting the turn rail 6 at substantially the center thereof, and 14 is a rotation shaft of the turn rail 6. Reference numeral 15 denotes a sprocket fixed to the rotary shaft 14, and the sprocket 15 is arranged so as to be located on the upper surface of the turn rail mounting board 13. 16 is this sprocket 15 and hanger rail 5 '
In the case of a toothed belt wound around the sprocket 11 arranged in the above, and in the case where the hanger rails 5'as shown in FIG. 6 (B) are made to face each other in a cross shape, the toothed belt 16 is attached to the sprocket 15. The guide rollers 17 are provided so as to be sufficiently meshed with each other. The toothed belt 16 is wound around the sprockets 11 and 15 so that the sprockets 11 and 15 form a simultaneous rotation mechanism.

<Operation> The operation of the moving wall traveling direction changing device according to the present invention will be described below. Here, the hanger rails 5 and 5 ′ facing each other in a Y shape will be described as an example. .

Therefore, first, by the action of the coil spring 12 attached to the rotary shaft 9 to which the follower 7 is attached, it is assumed that the turn rail 6 is linearly opposed to the hanger rail 5 in the state shown in FIG. To do. Further, in this state, the follower 7 is in a state of protruding from the raceway surface of the hanger rail 5 '. Then, the traveling body 2 traveling on the hanger rail 5 is moved onto the turn rail 6. In this case, the traveling body 2 is moved by moving straight on a moving wall (not shown). The state in which the traveling body 2 has moved over the turn rail 6 in this way is shown in FIG. Then, the movement of the traveling body 2 is stopped in a state in which the traveling body 2 has completely transferred onto the turnrail 6, but in this case, the center of gravity of the traveling body 2 is lower than the rotation center of the turnrail 6, that is, the rotation shaft 14. When designed to be forward, the rotary motion of the turn rail 6 as described below becomes smooth. At this stage, the traveling body 2 is moved to one hanger rail 5 '. In this case, the hanger rail 5'on the side to be moved is moved.
Rotate the turn rail 6 in the direction. That is, when the tip of the moving wall is pushed in the direction of the moving hanger rail 5 ', this is transmitted to the traveling body 2 and the turn rail 6 is rotated by the traveling body 2. The rotation of the turn rail 6 causes the sprocket 15 of the turn rail 6 to rotate.
Also rotates by the same angle, which causes the sprocket 11 of the hanger rail 5 ′ to rotate via the toothed belt 16. When the sprocket 11 rotates in this manner, the rotation shaft 9 to which the sprocket 11 is fixed is fixed.
The arm 10 fixed to the rotating shaft 9 rotates, and the follower 7 is retracted from the track surface of the hanger rail 5'to the vertical wall portion 8. By doing so, the follower 7 that has been an obstacle to the progress is removed on the hanger rail 5 ', so that the traveling body 2 is directly attached to the hanger rail 5'.
You can proceed to. Here, the gear ratio of each sprocket 11, 15 becomes a problem. For this, the follower 7 rotates by an angle such that the follower 7 retracts to the vertical wall portion 8 of the hanger rail 5'when the 15 rotates by the required angle. Therefore, it can be calculated easily. This is the same when the hanger rails 5'are made to face each other in a cross shape. As described above, the traveling body 2 travels on the hanger rail 5'and moves forward. When the traveling body 2 passes the follower 7, the coil spring arranged on the rotary shaft 9 of the follower 7. By the action of 12, the rotation is reversed again, and the follower 7 projects above the track surface from the vertical wall portion 8 of the hanger rail 5 '. That is, by the reverse rotation of the rotary shaft 9, all the sprockets 11 and 15 are rotated in the reverse direction via the toothed belt 16, and the turn rail 6 is brought into the state shown in FIG.

Next, the traveling body 2 transferred on the hanger rails 5'in this way is moved backward to turn the turn rails 6 and the hanger rails 5 '.
To describe the action of moving the upper body, the traveling body 2 existing on the hanger rail 5'is moved toward the turn rail 6 as described above. Then, the traveling wheels 3 of the traveling body 2 hit the follower 7 protruding from the vertical wall portion 8 of the hanger rail 5 ′, and when the pusher 7 is further pushed against the bias of the coil spring 12, the follower 7 is pushed. After a while, the hanger rail 5 ′ rotates so as to retract from the track surface of the hanger rail 5 ′ into the vertical wall portion 8, whereby the rotary shaft 9 and the sprocket 11 to which the follower 7 is attached rotate, and further, via the toothed belt 16. The sprocket 15 of the turn rail 6 rotates and the turn rail 6
Is directed toward the hanger rail 5'where the traveling body 2 is present. When the traveling body 2 passes over the follower 7 and completely shifts to the turn rail 6, the follower 7 is released from the pressing force. Therefore, the sprocket 11 is rotated by the action of the coil spring 12, and the teeth are accordingly rotated. Belt 1 with
The turn rail 6 also rotates via 6, and the traveling body 2 faces the hanger rail 5 in a straight line. After that, if the traveling body 2 is moved forward, it will be transferred to the hanger rail 5 as it is.

In the above description, only one traveling body 2 is shown and described with reference to FIG. 7, but there are usually two traveling bodies 2 on the front and rear sides of the moving wall, and the operation thereof is the same. . Further, although the sprockets 11 and 15 are not shown in FIG. 7, this is for avoiding complication by expressing the sprockets 11 and 15, and other sprockets 11 and 15 are not shown. Please refer to the drawings.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the traveling direction changing device for a moving wall according to the present invention, a traveling body having a hanging bolt for suspending the moving wall supports and travels a traveling body having a substantially H-shaped cross section. The hanger rails are arranged so as to face each other in a Y shape or a cross shape, and a rotatable turn rail having a substantially H-shaped cross section for connecting the facing hanger rails is arranged in the space portion of the facing hanger rails. , A sprocket is fixed on this turn rail, and a rotatable sprocket is also arranged on the top surface of the hanger rail near the turn rail, and a follower protruding on the track surface of the hanger rail is attached to the shaft of this sprocket. Since the sprocket of the turn rail and the hanger rail is fixed and connected with a toothed belt to provide a simultaneous rotation mechanism, the hanger rail It is possible to freely change the direction of the hanger rail arranged at any angle by simply pressing in the direction of changing the direction of the moving wall at the intersection point of, and it has been regarded as impossible in the past. It has a remarkable effect that it can be converted to directions other than 90 °.
