DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial field of application> The present invention makes it possible to change the traveling direction at an intersection of hanger rails only by moving a moving wall suspended on the hanger rail. The present invention relates to a traveling direction changing device for a moving wall.

<Prior Art> Generally, in an exhibition hall, a conference room, a wedding hall, etc. of arts, it is preferable to be able to change the partition of the room which is the venue according to the type, form, atmosphere, etc. The moving wall is the result of such a request. And hanging such a moving wall from the ceiling,
In addition, in order to move it, a hanger rail is arranged on the ceiling, but this hanger rail is as if it were a board in consideration of moving the moving wall in any position or direction. It is arranged so that it crosses like the eyes.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> By the way, in the above-mentioned venue, for example, as described above, the hanger rails cross each other inside the venue, and therefore the moving wall is turned at a right angle. There is also a situation in which the pillar a as shown in FIG. 7 must be erected and the hanger rail b must be detoured around the pillar a. In the case of b, the Y-shaped crossover is forced, but conventionally such a part could not be processed.

Therefore, as a means for solving this problem, the present inventor has previously described a hanger rail b having a substantially H-shaped cross section for supporting and traveling a traveling body connected with suspension bolts for suspending a moving wall. Are arranged to face each other in a circular or cross shape, and a rotatable turn rail d having a substantially H-shaped cross section for connecting the facing hanger rails b is disposed in the space of the facing hanger rails. A sprocket f is fixed on the rail d, and a rotatable sprocket g is arranged on the upper surface of a part of the hanger rail b near the turn rail d, and the shaft of the sprocket g is attached to the track surface of the hanger rail b. A follower c that projects is provided, and the sprockets f and g of the turn rail d and the hanger rail b are connected by a toothed belt e as shown in FIG. By providing the time rotation mechanism, not only in the case of the hanger rail b crossing in a cross shape, but also in the hanger rail crossing in a Y shape, the moving wall can freely change its direction at the crossing part. Although it was developed (Japanese Patent Application No. 61-181244), in the case of using the belt e as described above,
Although it was a toothed belt, it had problems such as slipping and cutting.

<Means for Solving Problems> Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the moving wall traveling direction changing device according to the present invention supports a traveling body connected with a hanging bolt for suspending the moving wall.・ The hanger rails having a substantially H-shaped cross section for traveling are arranged so as to face each other in a Y-shape or a ten-dimensional shape, and the rotatable turn rails having a substantially H-shaped cross section that connect the facing hanger rails are opposed to each other. It is arranged in the space of the hanger rail, the gear is fixed on the turn rail, and the follower is arranged at the position where the running body comes into contact with the running body. Of course, in the case of a hanger rail that is fixed, the gear connected to the rotary shaft of the turn rail and the gear connected to the follower are connected by another gear, and a simultaneous rotation mechanism is provided to cross them in a cross shape. , Y-shaped In the crossed hanger rail, the moving wall can be freely changed in direction at the crossing portion.

<Embodiment> Next, an embodiment of a traveling direction changing device for a moving wall according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a hanging bolt for hanging a moving wall (not shown) via an adjuster. There is a traveling body 2 connected to the suspension bolt 1. Of the traveling body 2, 3 is a traveling wheel arranged on two sides and 4 on both sides. The traveling wheels 3 are arranged vertically and 4 is 2 on one side. There are four guide rollers arranged on both sides, and the guide rollers 4 are arranged horizontally. Numerals 5 and 5'are fixed type hanger rails formed in a substantially H-shaped cross section, and these hanger rails 5 and 5'are arranged so as to face each other in a cross shape as shown in FIG. 3 ( It may be arranged in a Y shape.). 6 is the hanger rail 5, as shown in FIG.
5'is a turn rail arranged in the facing space, and this turn rail 6 is also formed to have a substantially H-shaped cross section and is rotatably arranged. Reference numeral 7 is a turn rail mounting board for connecting the hanger rails 5 and 5 ′ at the upper part thereof, and the turn rail 6 is rotatably mounted at substantially the center of the hanger rail, and 8 is arranged on a part of the turn rail mounting board 7. It is a follower set up. As shown in FIG. 4, the follower 8 is provided with a rotary shaft 9 extending above the turn rail mounting board 7, and is rotatably provided on an arm 10 fixed to the rotary shaft 9. Further, 11 is a gear fixed to the upper end of the rotary shaft 9, and 12 is a coil spring arranged on the rotary shaft 9. The coil spring 12 urges the rotating shaft 9, the gear 11 fixed to the rotating shaft 9, the follower 8 and the like to rotate in one direction. The follower 8 described above has been described by exemplifying that the follower 8 is arranged on the turn rail mounting board 7. However, if the traveling body 2 abuts the hanger rail 5'during traveling, the mounting position thereof should be changed. It's not a question. Therefore, the follower 8 is formed by cutting down an upper part of the vertical wall portion of the hanger rail 5 ', and a rotary shaft 9 extending above the hanger rail 5'is disposed at this part and fixed to the rotary shaft 9. It may be rotatably arranged on the arm 10 (see FIG. 9). Reference numeral 13 is a rotating shaft of the turn rail 6. 14 is
This gear is fixed to the rotary shaft 13, and the gear 14
Are arranged on the upper surface of the turn rail mounting board 7. Reference numeral 15 is a gear that meshes with both the gear 14 and the gear 11 arranged on the follower 8. By engaging these gears 11, 14, 15 with each other, the gears 11, 14, 15 are simultaneously rotated. Is configured.

<Operation> Hereinafter, the operation of the moving direction changing device for a moving wall according to the present invention will be described. Here, the hanger rails 5 and 5'which are made to face each other in a cross shape will be described as an example.

Therefore, first, it is assumed that the turn rail 6 is linearly opposed to the hanger rail 5 as shown in FIG. 3 by the action of the coil spring 12 attached to the rotary shaft 9 to which the follower 8 is attached. . And hanger rail 5
The traveling body 2 traveling above in the direction of the arrow X is moved onto the turn rail 6. Therefore, in this case, the traveling body 2 is moved by moving the moving wall (not shown). In this case, the traveling body 2 can be easily transferred onto the turn rail 6 simply by moving the traveling body 2 straight. And if you want to go straight on the moving wall,
It suffices to let the hanger rail 5 on the opposite side proceed as it is without stopping the progress of the moving wall.

However, here, when the traveling direction of the moving wall is changed to either left or right, the movement of the traveling body 2 is stopped in a state where the traveling body 2 has completely transferred onto the turn rail 6. That is, at this stage, the traveling body 2 is moved to the one hanger rail 5 ', but in this case, the turn rail 6 is rotated in the direction of the hanger rail 5'on the side to be moved. 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. In this case, if the center of gravity of the traveling body 2 is designed to be in front of the rotation center of the turn rail 6, that is, the rotation shaft 13, the rotary motion of the turn rail 6 becomes smooth.
Then, by turning the turn rail 6, the turn rail 6
The gear 14 connected to is also rotated by the same angle, so that the gear 11 is also rotated via the gear 15. When the gear 11 rotates in this manner, the gear 11
The rotary shaft 9 fixed to the rotary shaft 9 rotates, which causes the arm 10 fixed to the rotary shaft 9 to rotate, thereby retracting the follower 8 (see FIG. 5). By doing so, the follower 8 which is 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, each gear 11,1
The gear ratio of 4 and 15 is a problem. For this, when the gear 14 rotates by the required angle, the arm 10 of the follower 8 rotates by an angle so as to be parallel to the vertical wall portion of the hanger rail 5 '. You can set
It can be calculated easily. This is the same when the hanger rails 5 and 5'are made to face each other in a Y shape. As described above, the traveling body 2 moves to the hanger rail 5 ', travels as it is, and moves forward.
When passing through the turn rail 6 and passing through the follower 8, the follower 8 and the rotating shaft 9 are reversed by the action of the coil spring 12 disposed on the rotating shaft 9 of the follower 8, and the follower 8 Is directed toward the vertical wall of the hanger rail 5 ', and the turn rail 6 is reversely rotated through the gears 11, 15, and 14 so as to be linearly oriented with respect to the hanger rail 5 as shown in FIG. is there.

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 part, the traveling body 2 existing on the hanger rail 5'is moved in the direction of the turn rail 6 (direction of arrow Y) as described above. Then, the traveling wheels 3 of the traveling body 2 hit the follower 8 facing the vertical wall portion of the hanger rail 5 ′, and the pusher 8 is further pressed against the bias of the coil spring 12, and the follower 8 is pushed. Eventually, it rotates so as to be parallel to the vertical wall portion of the hanger rail 5 ', whereby the rotary shaft 9 and the gear 1 to which the follower 8 is attached are attached.
1 rotates, and further, the gear 15 of the turn rail 6 rotates via the gear 15, and the turn rail 6 is directed toward the hanger rail 5'where the traveling body 2 exists.
Therefore, if the traveling body 2 is advanced as it is, the traveling body 2
Can transfer to the turnrail 6. When the traveling body 2 passes the follower 8 and completely moves on the turn rail 6, the pressing of the follower 8 is released, so that the coil spring 12 causes the gear 11 to rotate, and accordingly the gear 11 rotates. The turn rail 6 also rotates through the gear 15 and the gear 14 to face 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. still,
When one of the hanger rails 5'is allowed to go straight to the opposite hanger rail 5 ', the turn rail 6 is rotated as described above by causing the hanger rail 5'to travel in the direction of the arrow Y to linearly move to the hanger rail 5'. To face each other,
You just have to go straight at a stretch.

In the above description, the traveling body 2 is shown as one piece, but there are usually two traveling bodies 2 in the front and rear on the moving wall, and the operation is the same.

<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 gear is fixed on the turn rail, and a follower is arranged at a position where the traveling body comes into contact with the running body during traveling, and the gear is fixed on the rotary shaft of the follower, and the rotary shaft of the turn rail is Since the gear connected to and the gear connected to the follower are connected by another gear and a simultaneous rotation mechanism is provided, at the intersection of the hanger rails, simply press in the direction that changes the direction of the moving wall, Which It is possible to freely change the direction of the hanger rail arranged at such an angle, and there is a remarkable effect that the direction can be changed to a direction other than 90 ° which has been considered impossible in the past.
