Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a partition panel connecting structure used for partitioning an office floor or the like.

BACKGROUND ART A partitioning panel (hereinafter, simply referred to as a panel) is for partitioning the inside of a completed building or the like, and thus is manufactured with a relatively narrow unit width for convenience of moving and carrying in. Therefore, in order to obtain the width dimension necessary for the partition, connection work is indispensable at the construction site.

Such a panel connecting method may be a method in which each end surface of the C-shaped channel material forming the vertical frame member of the panel frame is brought into contact with each other and the members on both sides are directly connected via bolts and nuts, or between the both. It is a general method to attach another plate material that covers the joint portion of and to indirectly bond it through this plate material.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the case of such a conventional technique, inefficient screwing work must be performed when connecting the panels.
There is a problem that the required work man-hour tends to be excessive and the top of the screw is exposed to the outer surface, which impairs the aesthetic appearance of the panel after the assembly is completed.

Therefore, in view of the problems of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to fit a vertical frame of a panel frame between side plates of a connecting column having an H-shaped cross section and connect the panel frame via the connecting column to form a partition. It is an object of the present invention to provide a partition panel connecting structure that can significantly improve the work efficiency in construction and can make the finished appearance extremely neat.

Means for Solving the Problems The structure of the present invention for achieving the above object has a cross section H.
It consists of a connecting pillar of the shape and the vertical frame of the panel frame that can be fitted between the side plates of this connecting pillar, and the connecting pillar has a bulging strip that locks the corner of the vertical frame on the inner surface of the tip of the side plate. On the other hand, the vertical frame has a hook for hooking the panel board,
When the panel plate is hooked on the hook, the gist of the side plate is that it is sandwiched between the vertical frame and the panel plate and cannot be expanded.

Operation According to the structure of the present invention, the connecting column and the vertical frame of the panel frame can be fitted between the side plates of the connecting column,
Moreover, when the entire vertical frame is fitted between the side plates, the bulging strips on the side of the connecting column lock the corners of the vertical frame, so the connecting column and the vertical frame need complicated means such as screws. Without needing
The connection can be completed only by pushing the latter between the side plates of the former and fitting them. Also, after fitting the vertical frame to the connecting column, if the panel plate is hooked on the hook of the vertical frame, the side plate of the connecting column is sandwiched between the vertical frame and the panel plate and cannot be expanded. Therefore, the vertical frame does not separate from the space between the side plates, and the connecting force between the both can be made sufficiently strong.

Example Hereinafter, an example will be described with reference to the drawings.

The connecting structure of the partition panel is a connecting column with an H-shaped cross section.
And a vertical frame 21 of the panel frame 20 (Fig. 1). The connection column 10 can connect the two panel frames 20 and 20 symmetrically from both sides,
The following description focuses on only one panel frame 20.

The connecting column 10 is made of a drawn aluminum material, and the pair of side plates 11 and 11 are connected to each other through the connecting plate 12 so that the inner sides of the central portions thereof are connected to each other, and the connecting column 10 is formed in an H-shaped cross section. On the inner surfaces of the side plates 11, 11 on both ends, the bulging strips 11a, 1 are provided over the entire length of the side plates 11, 11.
.. are formed continuously (FIGS. 1 and 3). The plate thickness of the side plates 11, 11 is somewhat smaller than the plate thickness of the connecting plate 12, and the side plates 11, 11 are capable of elastically deforming the connecting plate 12 within a certain range (two-dot chain line in FIG. 3). .

The panel frame 20 is formed by connecting vertical frames 21 and 21 made of C-shaped channel material via a horizontal rail 22 having a U-shaped cross section, and is assembled into a frame shape as a whole (FIG. 1). The panel frame 20 forms a frame structure for attaching the panel plates P, P on both surfaces thereof.

The width L1 of the vertical frame 21 is the inner dimension d1 between the side plates 11 of the connection column 10.
Is set to be slightly smaller than. Further, the depth L2 of the vertical frame 21 is also slightly smaller than the depth d2 of the opening S1 formed by the side plates 11 and 11 and the connecting plate 12. However, the width L1 of the vertical frame 21 is larger than the dimension d3 between the tips of the bulging strips 11a, 11a facing each other. The width W1 of the horizontal rail 22 is slightly larger than the width L1 of the vertical frame 21 and is also slightly smaller than the outer dimension d4 of the side plates 11, 11. In other words, if these dimensional relationships are summarized, d4
>W1>d1>L1> d3 and d2> L2.

The vertical frame 21 is assembled with its opening S2 facing the outside of the panel frame 20, and hooks 23, 23 ... Are attached to several points on the rear surface 21a (FIGS. 1 and 2). .
However, in FIGS. 1 and 2, the hook 23 is
Only the individual is shown.

The hook 23 has a pair of upwardly facing hook portions 23a, 23a and a pair of bent pieces 23b, 23b bent forward, and the back surface of the vertical frame 21.
Bent pieces 23b, 23b are inserted into slits 21c, 21c formed in 21a, and then welded to the vertical frame 21. In the attached state, the hook portions 23a, 23a of the hook 23 project to both outer sides of the vertical frame 21 (Fig. 2), and the inner projection 2 of each hook portion 23a
A gap d5 is formed between 3c and the side surface of the vertical frame 21 (Fig. 4).

The panel plate P is formed by enclosing a core material Pc such as a plasterboard or a veneer plate with a metal exterior plate Pa (Fig. 1), and on the back side thereof, each hook on the vertical frame 21.
A slit Pb is formed corresponding to the hook portion 23a of 23. Inside the slit Pb, a cavity Pca is formed in the core material Pc to receive the hook portion 23a (fourth portion).
Figure).

The connecting column 10 has a panel frame 20 from both sides thereof,
The panel frames 20 and 20 can be connected by pushing the vertical frames 21 and 21 of 20 between the side plates 11 and 11 (FIG. 3).

At this time, since the dimensional relationship of each part of the connection column 10, the vertical frame 21, and the horizontal rail 22 is determined as described above, the vertical frame 21 is opened from the direction of the arrow K in FIG. If you push it so that it fits in the part S1, the side plate 11,
11 is elastically deformed laterally and expanded by the vertical frame 21 (two-dot chain line in the figure). Here, the corners 21b and 21b of the vertical frame 21 are formed such that the outer periphery has an arcuate cross section, and the bulging strips 11a and 11a are
Since it gradually expands while sliding on the corners 21b, 21b, the vertical frame
The force required to push 21 between side plates 11 and 11 is not so great, and no special tool is required.

Further, by d2> L2, the vertical frame 21 can be entirely housed in the opening S1. When the vertical frame 21 is housed in the opening S1, the side plates 11 and 11 that have expanded laterally due to d1> L1.
Is elastically returned to its original posture, and the front end face 22a of the horizontal rail 22 is set to the front end faces 11b and 11b of the side plates 11 and 11 by d4>W1> d1.
And the vertical frame 21 can be positioned.

In this way, when the vertical frame 21 is stored in the connecting column 10,
The bulging strips 11a, 11a are the corners 21b, 21b on the rear surface 21a side of the vertical frame 21.
Lock. Since the bulging strips 11a, 11a are formed continuously with respect to the entire lengths of the side plates 11, 11, the vertical frame 21 and the connecting column 10 can be connected to each other sufficiently strongly. That is, the panel frames 20 and 20 can be stably connected through the connecting columns 10 by engaging the vertical frames 21 with the connecting columns 10.

After connecting the panel frames 20, 20, hooks on the vertical frame 21
Slits Pb, Pb in which 23, 23 ... Are formed on the back surface side of the panel P
The panel plate P is hooked on the panel frame 20 by inserting it into the ... (FIGS. 4 and 5). At this time, the exterior plate Pa of the panel plate P inserts the side plate 11 into the gap d5 between the side surface of the vertical frame 21 and the inner protrusion 23c of the hook 23a. Therefore, if the size of the gap d5 is set substantially equal to the total thickness of the side plate 11 and the exterior plate Pa, the side plate 11
The hook portion 23a ensures that the hook 23 is sandwiched between the vertical frame 21 and the exterior plate Pa, and thereafter cannot be expanded outward. That is, by hooking the panel P on the hooks 23, 23, ..., The connection state between the vertical frame 21 and the connection support column 10 is completely locked, and thereafter, there is no possibility that both are accidentally disengaged.

In the above description, the connecting column 10 is composed of the pair of side plates 11, 11
And the connecting plate 12 can be integrally formed by welding or the like. Further, as the material thereof, a steel material can be used as well as an aluminum material. In addition, bulging strip
11a, 11a may be formed by winding the tip of the side plate 11 made of a steel plate inward.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described above, according to the present invention, a pair of side plates having a bulge on the inner surface of the distal end portion is formed into an H-shaped cross section, and a connecting column is fitted between the side plates. By combining the vertical frame of the possible panel frame, the connecting column and the vertical frame can be connected very easily by simply fitting them together. At this time, the vertical frame is stored in the connecting column. Therefore, the connecting portion is not exposed to the outside, and therefore, there is an excellent effect that the appearance of the panel after assembly is not impaired.

Further, by hooking the panel plate to the hooks provided on the vertical frame, the vertical frame can be locked in the state of being housed in the connecting column, so that the connection between the connecting column and the vertical frame is further strengthened, There is also an excellent effect that it can be surely done and that the fitting of the both can be easily released by removing the panel plate.
