[0026] (1st embodiment)

[0027] FIG. 2 is a plan view of the installation state of a functional partition device according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a drawing with the frame cover removed from FIG. 2, FIG. 4 is a front view of area A of FIG. 3, FIG. 5 is a perspective view of FIG. 4, FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the panel side finishing member area of ​​FIG. 5, FIG. 7 is an image of the actual product of FIG. 5, FIG. 8 is an exploded perspective view of FIG. 5, and FIG. 9 is an enlarged view of a key part of FIG. 8.

[0028] Referring to these drawings, the functional partition device (100) according to the present embodiment has a simpler structure than conventional ones, which allows for lower manufacturing costs, as well as making connection work easy and enabling a clean connection without gaps.

[0029] A functional partition device (100) according to the present embodiment capable of providing such effects may include a partition panel (110), a panel side finishing member (120), a panel top finishing member (170), a panel corner finishing member (180), a corner connecting unit (130), and a connecting member (160).

[0030] The partition panel (110) is a rectangular plate with a certain thickness and length, as shown in FIG. 7, and substantially forms a partition wall. The partition panel (110) is made of a material such as plastic or MDF, and then the outer surface is covered.

[0031] Accordingly, the side and top (TOP) of the partition panel (110) require finishing treatment, and for this purpose, a panel side finishing member (120), a panel top finishing member (170), and a panel corner finishing member (180) are detachably connected at the corresponding positions.

[0032] The panel side finishing member (120) is a structure that is attached to one side end of the partition panel (110). Unlike the partition panel (110), the panel side finishing member (120) is manufactured by extrusion of plastic.

[0033] A side connection slot (121) is formed in the panel side finishing member (120). The side connection slot (121) is formed lengthwise along the length direction of the panel side finishing member (120).

[0034] The panel top finishing member (170) is a structure that is detachably connected to the top end of the partition panel (110). The panel top finishing member (170) is also manufactured by extrusion of plastic.

[0035] The panel corner finishing member (180) is a structure that forms an arc shape and is detachably connected to the corner area of ​​the partition panel (110) between the panel top finishing member (170) and the panel side finishing member (120). The panel corner finishing member (180) is also manufactured by plastic extrusion.

[0036] On the outer surface of such panel corner finishing member (180), a communication slot (181) is further formed to communicate with the side connection slot (121) of the panel side finishing member (120). When inserting one side of the connector (160), it can be inserted through the communication slot (181) and assembled into the side connection slot (121).

[0037] The corner connecting unit (130) is a structure provided separately from the partition panel (110) and forms the corner of the partition panel (110).

[0038] This corner connection unit (130) includes a unit frame (140) having a corner connection slot (141) corresponding to a side connection slot (121) formed on its periphery, and a frame cover (150) that covers the upper part of the unit frame (140).

[0039] In this embodiment, the unit frame (140) is manufactured with a hollow square cross-sectional shape. Also, the corner connection slots (141) are formed identically on all four sides of the unit frame (140). Therefore, it does not matter which side is used.

[0040] The frame cover (150) includes a cover plate (151) forming a flat surface and a plurality of connecting bridges (152) that protrude from the cover plate (151) and are connected within the unit frame (140). Since the unit frame (140) is manufactured with a square cross-sectional shape with a hollow interior, the frame cover (150) can be assembled by inserting the connecting bridges (152) of the frame cover (150) into the hollow space.

[0041] Meanwhile, the connector (160) is a means for integrally and detachably connecting the panel side finishing member (120) and the corner connecting unit (130).

[0042] In this embodiment, the connector (160) is made of a hard plastic material with a cross-sectional mortar shape. Therefore, the connection work between the panel side finishing member (120) and the corner connecting unit (130) is easy, and the panel side finishing member (120) and the corner connecting unit (130) can be neatly connected without any gaps.

[0043] This connector (160) includes a connecting body (161), a first connecting head (162) that forms one end of the connecting body (161) and is rail-type connected to a side connecting slot (121) of a panel side finishing member (120), and a second connecting head (163) that forms the other end of the connecting body (161) and is rail-type connected to a corner connecting slot (141) of a unit frame (140).

[0044] At this time, the first coupling head (162) and the second coupling head (163) are symmetrically arranged on both sides with respect to the connecting body (161). Therefore, the manufacturing of the connector (160) is easy.

[0045] Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, a corner connecting unit (130) is placed around the panel side finishing member (120), and then the panel side finishing member (120) and the corner connecting unit (130) are assembled using a connector (160), thereby completing the assembly simply.

[0046] According to the present embodiment, which operates based on the structure described above, the structure is simpler and more streamlined than conventional designs, which not only lowers manufacturing costs but also makes connection work easier and enables a clean connection without any gaps.

[0047] (2nd Example)

[0048] FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of the arrangement between a panel side finishing member and a unit frame in a functional partition device according to a second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 11 is a drawing of the connection formed in FIG. 10, and FIG. 12 is an enlarged view of the connection formed in FIG. 11.

[0049] Referring to these drawings, in the present embodiment as well, a panel side finishing member (220) having a side connection slot (221) and a unit frame (240) having a corner connection slot (241) are detachably connected by a connector (260).

[0050] At this time, there is a difference in that a panel support (222) that supports the partition panel (110) is formed in the panel side finishing member (220). In addition, the shape of the panel side finishing member (220) having a side connection slot (221) and the unit frame (240) having a corner connection slot (241) is different from the previously described embodiment.

[0051] Meanwhile, the connector (260) applied to this embodiment also includes a connecting body (261), a first connecting head (262) that forms one end of the connecting body (261) and is rail-type connected to the side connecting slot (221) of the panel side finishing member (220), and a second connecting head (263) that forms the other end of the connecting body (261) and is rail-type connected to the corner connecting slot (241) of the unit frame (240). At this time, it differs from the previously described embodiment in that the cross-sectional structure of the first connecting head (262) and the second connecting head (263) forms a rectangular shape.

[0052] Even when this embodiment is applied, the structure is simpler and simpler than conventional designs, which not only lowers manufacturing costs but also makes connection work easier and allows for a clean connection without any gaps.

[0053] (3rd Example)

[0054] FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of the connection between a panel side finishing member and a unit frame in a functional partition device according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

[0055] Referring to this drawing, the structure of this embodiment is the same as that of the second embodiment in that the panel side finishing member (320) and the unit frame (340) are detachably connected by a connector (260).

[0056] However, in the case of the present embodiment, before the connector (260) is coupled to the panel side finishing member (320) and the unit frame (340), first and second temporary coupling parts (325, 345) are formed to temporarily combine the panel side finishing member (320) and the unit frame (340).

[0057] One of the first and second temporary connecting parts (325, 345) takes the form of a protrusion and the other takes the form of a groove. Since these first and second temporary connecting parts (325, 345) are formed at mutually corresponding positions on the panel side finishing member (320) and the unit frame (340), there is an advantage that the joining operation of the connector (260) can be made easier. For example, a first temporary connecting part (325) in the form of a protrusion may be formed at the end of the panel side finishing member (320), and a second temporary connecting part (345) in the form of a groove may be formed on the unit frame (340) to correspond thereto.

[0058] Even when this embodiment is applied, the structure is simpler and simpler than conventional designs, which not only lowers manufacturing costs but also makes connection work easier and allows for a clean connection without any gaps.

[0059] As such, the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, such modifications or variations should be deemed to fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention. Explanation of the symbols
