Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a moving partitioning device used when partitioning a floor of a hotel, an office, or the like as needed.

[Prior Art] In this type of moving partition device, a ceiling rail having a continuous opening in a bottom wall is fixed to a ceiling of a building, and wheels are diagonally positioned at four corners in the ceiling rail. In addition to arranging a plurality of traveling bodies provided so as to be able to travel, a suspension rod is attached to an intermediate portion of each of these traveling bodies, and the lower end side of these suspension rods is passed through the opening portion to the lower side of the ceiling rail. It is drooping.
The pair of suspension rods are configured to suspend and support the movement habits so that the movable wall can be moved along the ceiling rail.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the conventional moving wall has no self-propelling force and is moved by the pressing force of the operator. Therefore, not only a great amount of labor is required for the moving work, but also the portion that presses the moving wall is almost constant, so that there is a problem that only that portion is easily soiled. Also, with a tall moving wall, since the lower half of the moving wall is pushed to move, the moving wall may tilt like a goodwill due to the running resistance of the running body, causing a hanging rod. There is also a problem that it is easy for excessive force to act.

In order to deal with such a problem, it has been considered that a driving force is applied to the traveling body by a motor or the like so that the traveling wall can be self-propelled.

By the way, in such a structure, it is necessary to provide a mechanism for guiding the traveling body to a desired route in a portion where the ceiling rail is supported. Therefore, as a concrete example, a turntable is provided at a portion where the ceiling rails intersect, and when the traveling body reaches the intersection, the turntable is turned to guide the traveling body to a desired route. There is.

However, in such a structure, it is necessary to secure a clearance at the rail joint between the ceiling rail and the turntable to allow the rotary operation of the turntable. Therefore, in order for the traveling body to pass through the rail joint, it is necessary to make the wheels pivotally mounted on the left and right gradually fall into the rail joint, and the rattling at this time causes malfunction or operation on the moving wall. The movement of the center of gravity that occurs when the wheel falls may adversely affect the support state of the moving wall.

An object of the present invention is to effectively solve such a problem.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention employs the following configuration in order to achieve the above object.

That is, the moving partition device according to the present invention includes a plurality of ceiling rails, a turntable, a table drive mechanism, a traveling body, a suspension rod, a moving wall, and a moving wall traveling drive mechanism. The plurality of ceiling rails are horizontally arranged with their ends facing the intersection,
The bottom wall has a continuous opening through which the suspension rod passes, and a rail surface is formed on the upper surface of the bottom wall at a portion sandwiching the opening, and the outside becomes higher on the outer edge side of both rail surfaces. It is formed by forming each step,
The turntable is arranged at the intersection, and is provided with a movable rail having the same sectional shape as the ceiling rail. The table drive mechanism horizontally swivels the turntable to move the end of the movable rail. It is configured so that it can be selectively matched with the end portion of the ceiling rail, and the running body is provided with wheels at four corners that roll on the rail surface while being guided by the step portion, and each wheel is Each of the moving walls has an axial center at a different position with respect to the traveling direction, and each moving wall is suspended and supported by a ceiling rail via a plurality of traveling bodies and suspension rods. The moving walls are configured to be able to run independently of each other.

With a simple configuration, to make the moving wall surely self-propelled,
The moving wall traveling drive mechanism is fixed to the inner surface of the side wall of the ceiling rail and the movable rail, the sprocket is meshed with the chain, and the sprocket is fixed to the upper end of the chain so that it can be rotatably mounted on the outer periphery of the suspension rod. Rotating sleeve,
It is preferable that the motor does not include a motor that is housed in the moving wall and rotationally drives the lower end of the rotary sleeve.

[Operation] With such a configuration, by applying a driving force to the traveling body by the function of the moving wall traveling drive mechanism,
Each moving wall can be independently moved along the ceiling rail. When passing the intersection on the moving wall, when the traveling body approaches the rail joint between the ceiling rail and the movable rail, the wheels axially attached to the front end side in the traveling direction are sequentially arranged on the clearance of the rail joint. The load is supported by levitating and grounding the other three wheels to either the ceiling rail or the movable rail until the wheels transfer to the front rail. Therefore, only one traveling body can get over the wheels without causing the wheels to fall into the rail joint, and as a result, it is possible to realize smooth operation of the moving wall when passing through the intersection.

Moreover, the bottom wall of the ceiling rail is shaped as described above,
Since the wheels of the traveling body roll on the rail surface while being guided by the steps from both sides, it is possible to reliably prevent each traveling body from meandering. Moreover, since the movable rail of the turntable also has the same sectional shape as the ceiling rail, the wheels of the traveling body supported by the turntable also roll on the rail surface while being positioned by the step portion. . Therefore, even if the turntable is rapidly rotated, it is possible to prevent the wheels of the traveling body from slipping sideways, the direction of the traveling body may be slightly changed, and the traveling body may move in parallel to cause the suspension rod to move toward the opening. Problems such as abutting or approaching the edge are eliminated. Therefore, it is possible to speed up the turntable without impairing the smoothness of moving the moving wall in and out of the turntable.

The two traveling bodies 6 supporting the moving tendency 5 are guided together to the movable rail 22 of the turntable 2 (see FIG. 3), and the traveling of the moving wall 5 is temporarily stopped. Since the chain 81 is fixedly installed also in the movable rail 22, it is possible to advance the traveling body 5 to a desired position in the movable rail 22. In this state, the turntable 2 is turned to change the direction of the moving wall 5. Physically, the motor 34 of the table drive mechanism 3 is

Thus, the running body 6 without getting stuck in the rail joint X ₁ a wheel 62 as one, and one that can possess a smooth ceiling rail 1 ₁ Replacement movable rail 22. Ceiling rails 1 ₂ and 1 ₃ and movable rails
The same applies to rail joints X ₂ and X ₃ with 22.

As described above, when the moving wall 5 is moved to the desired position, the traveling motor 84 is stopped, and then the sealing motor 168 is operated to move the upper and lower sealing members 54, 5 to the ceiling. Press on surface C and floor F. In this embodiment, since the close contact member drive mechanism 160 is held by the floating frame 150, an operation pressing action is performed between the upper close contact member 54 and the lower close contact member 5, and both close contact members are driven. The members 54 and 55 are pressed against the ceiling surface C and the floor surface F with an equal force.

Further, the turntable 2 is provided with a sensor for detecting whether or not the traveling body 6 of the moving wall 5 has reached a predetermined position of the movable rail 22, a limit switch for detecting the turning position of the movable rail 22, and the like. deep.

In the embodiment described above, the traveling body with the wheels arranged in a staggered manner is used, but as the other traveling body, for example, the traveling body shown in FIG. 13 can be adopted. In the traveling body 206 shown in the figure, among the wheels 262 at the four corners, the shafts n ₁ and n ₄ of the wheels 262 arranged on the left side are opposite to the shaft centers of the wheels 262 arranged on the right side. n ₂ and n ₃ are set so as to be located between the axes n ₁ and n ₄ . Even with such a configuration, smooth running at the rail joint can be ensured through the same operation as described above. Further, the turntable of the above-mentioned embodiment is constructed so as to be able to hold two traveling bodies at the same time, but as shown in FIG. 14, the turntable 302 is provided in a relatively small size, and each traveling body 306 has both ceilings. The turn table 302 may be turned and guided to a desired route each time the railroad car reaches the intersection B of the rails 301 ₁ and 301 ₂ . Again, turntable 302
If the vehicle is rapidly rotated, the wheels of the traveling body 306 may skid on the movable rails of the turntable 302, and the orientation of the traveling body 306 with respect to the movable rails may change improperly. If you provide a step 22cb,
Such positional deviation can be prevented. Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where the turntable is provided at the intersection where the three ceiling rails meet has been described, but as shown in FIG. 14, a portion where the _two ceiling rails 301 ₁ and 301 ₂ intersect, It is of course possible to use an intersection where four or more ceiling rails meet as a component.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the moving wall can be self-propelled along the ceiling rail. for that reason,
It is possible to eliminate the trouble of pressing the moving wall to move the moving wall, and also to solve the problem that a certain portion is easily dirty due to the rear or the like. Also, since it is not necessary to move the traveling body by applying a moving force to the lower half of the moving wall,
It is possible to effectively prevent unreasonable bending stress from acting on the suspension rod, without causing the moving wall to swing like a goodwill.

Moreover, since the wheels at the four corners of the traveling body are pivotally mounted at different positions in the traveling direction, when the traveling body passes through the clearance generated at the rail joint of the movable rail of the ceiling rail, the traveling body is There is no problem that the left and right wheels of the vehicle fall into the clearance at the same time, and all the wheels sequentially pass over the clearance while levitated and supported by the other wheels, and transfer to the front rail. Therefore, the rattling of the traveling body when passing through the intersection is eliminated, and the smooth operation of the moving wall can be obtained. In addition, since a step is provided on the outer edge side of the rail surface of the ceiling rail to guide the wheels of the traveling body from both sides, the difference between the rotational resistance of each wheel and the operating position of the driving force and each wheel Even if there is a difference in distance or the like, it is possible to effectively prevent the running body from meandering. Further, since the movable rails of the turntable have the same sectional shape as the ceiling rails, the wheels of the traveling body supported by the movable rails can also be guided from both sides by the step portion. for that reason,
Even if the turntable is rotated relatively quickly and stopped, the position shift of the traveling body with respect to the movable rail and the irrelevant change of the direction are not caused. Therefore, it is possible to speed up the operation of the turntable without impairing the smoothness of the movement of the moving wall into and out of the turntable.

Further, if the moving wall traveling drive mechanism is configured as described above, it is not necessary to mount the motor on the traveling body. Therefore, a strong driving force can be exerted on the traveling body arranged in the narrow ceiling rail, and the moving wall can be self-propelled yesterday.
