AI Technical Summary
The existing space structure cannot move the moving panel around the support column to adjacent guide rails at the intersection of the beam, resulting in the inability to use the moving panels at the same time, increasing the sense of closure of the internal space.
A self-reliable frame body is designed, including multiple pillars and cross-connected beams, and movable guide rails arranged along the beams. At the intersection of the beam, the two adjacent guide rails are connected by bridge rails, allowing the moving panel to move around the struts.
It is realized that the intersection of the beam does not need to pre-support the moving panel, and moves it around the pillar to the adjacent guide rail, avoiding the sense of blockage in the internal space, and being able to move rapidly with the shortest path, which is suitable for a variety of space separation needs.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a space structure mainly used for partitioning indoor spaces such as offices and exhibition halls. Background Art
[0002] As such a space structure, there is a known suspended ceiling type space structure: a guide rail is provided along a plurality of beams installed horizontally on the ceiling, and a plurality of movable panels or fixed panels are supported on the guide rail to partition the indoor space. With respect to such a suspended ceiling type space structure, the height is controlled by the height of the ceiling, so the degree of freedom is small, and it is impossible to cope with changes in the business environment or business methods. In addition, the floor and the ceiling are divided by the panel, so the sense of openness of the indoor space is lost.
[0003] In order to deal with such a problem, there is a space structure (movable partition device) described in Patent Document 1. The space structure is formed in an L-shape, a T-shape, or a square shape when viewed from above by connecting the upper parts of a plurality of pillars erected from the ground with beams (connecting rods), and a movable panel is supported by a guide rail provided along the beam, thereby being able to divide the indoor space into squares of a predetermined size.

[0006] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent No. 3740554 ( Figure 1 , page 3) Summary of the invention
[0007] Problems to be solved by the invention
[0008] However, in the space structure described in Patent Document 1, when the movable panel is moved, it can only be moved linearly along the guide rails between the pillars. Therefore, it is impossible to move, for example, a movable panel with a whiteboard between adjacent guide rails at the L-shaped intersection or T-shaped intersection of the beam and use it for both purposes, and it is necessary to support a plurality of movable panels on the guide rails on both sides of the intersection in advance. For example, when the guide rails at the T-shaped intersection each support a movable panel, the sense of occlusion of the internal space separated by the space structure increases.
[0009] The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a spatial structure in which a movable panel can bypass a support column at an intersection of beams and move to an adjacent guide rail.
[0010] Means for solving problems
[0011] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the spatial structure of the present invention is characterized in that the spatial structure has a self-supporting frame body, the frame body has a plurality of pillars, a plurality of beams connecting the upper parts of the pillars to each other in a cross manner, and a guide rail arranged along the beams and supporting the movable panel in a movable manner, and two adjacent guide rails separated by the pillars at the intersection of the beams are connected by a bridge rail.
[0012] According to this feature, the movable panel can be moved to the adjacent guide rail via the bridge rail at the intersection of the beams, bypassing the support. Therefore, it is not necessary to support the movable panels on the adjacent guide rails in advance, and the movable panels can be used to divide the indoor space without a closed feeling.
[0013] The invention is characterized in that the bridge rail is linearly laid between two adjacent guide rails sandwiching the support.
[0014] According to this feature, the movable panel can be quickly moved between two adjacent guide rails along a short path, bypassing the pillars.
[0015] The characteristic lies in that the bridge rail is laid on two adjacent guide rails at right angles at an angle of approximately 45 degrees.
[0016] According to this feature, two adjacent rails can be symmetrically connected via the bridge rails at the intersection of the beams, so that the movement of the movable panel from one rail to the other rail becomes smooth, and the movable panel can be beautifully arranged around the support column along the shortest path.
[0017] The frame body is characterized in that the frame body has beams connected to the pillars from at least three directions, and the bridge rails are provided on the mutually adjacent guide rails provided on the beams.
[0018] According to this feature, the front and back surfaces can be switched by rotating the movable panel 180 degrees at the T-shaped intersection or the cross intersection of the beam.
[0019] The feature is that a dimension between two guide rollers of the moving panel guided by the guide rail and the bridge rail is equal to or smaller than the full length of the bridge rail.
[0020] According to this feature, the operation of inverting the front and back sides of the movable panel at the T-shaped intersection or the cross intersection and moving the movable panel becomes easy. In addition, the movable panel can be supported only by the bridge rails and supported in a state inclined relative to the beam.
[0021] The movable panel is characterized in that the movable panel contacts the ground only at a substantially central portion in the width direction.
[0022] According to this feature, the contact resistance of the moving panel with respect to the ground when the moving panel moves along the bridge rails becomes small, so the direction change at the intersection is smooth. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] Hereinafter, the mode for implementing the space structure of the present invention will be described based on the examples.
[0033] Example
[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The spatial structure of the embodiment is described. Figure 1 The paper surface is described with the lower right corner as the front, the upper left corner as the back, the upper right corner as the right, and the lower left corner as the left. Figure 1 As shown, the space structure 1 of this embodiment is independently installed on the ground to divide a wide indoor space such as an office or exhibition hall into a square shape. The space structure 1 is used for a meeting or business space, etc.
[0035] The space structure 1 has a frame body 2 independently installed on the ground. The frame body 2 has: 6 pillars 3, the 6 pillars 3 have a vertical dimension lower than the ceiling surface, and are arranged at predetermined intervals in the front, back, left, and right directions; and 7 beams 4 in the front, back, left, and right directions, and the 7 beams 4 connect the upper ends of the pillars 3 to each other at right angles in a "sun" shape when viewed from above. The pillars 3 and the beams 4 are made by extrusion molding of aluminum materials, for example.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , a guide rail 5 having a downward U-shaped cross section is fixed to the lower surface formed at the lower end of each beam 4 by means of a plurality of screws 6. The lower end of the guide rail 5 is bent inwardly opposite to each other. The guide rail 5 is made by extrusion molding of aluminum material, for example. In order to connect the bridge rail 13 described later, the length of the two guide rails 5 extending in the left-right direction in the front and the three guide rails 5 extending in the front-back direction are formed to be shorter than the total length of the beam 4 by a required dimension (see FIG. 1 ). Figure 3 , Figure 4 ). In addition, both side surfaces in the longitudinal direction of each beam 4 are covered by cover members 7, 7 together with both side surfaces of the guide rail 5, but such cover members 7 may be omitted.
[0037] A plurality of fixed panels 8 are installed between the guide rails (not shown) installed on the lower surfaces of the beams 4, 4 extending in the left-right direction at the rear and the ground, and the plurality of fixed panels 8 have adjusters (not shown) at the lower ends. In addition, a fixed panel 8 is also installed between the guide rails (not shown) installed on the lower surfaces of the beams 4, 4 extending in the front-rear direction at the left and right ends and the ground. In addition, each fixed panel 8 can also be suspended and supported by the guide rails so as to be movable.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , the movable panels 9, 9 are supported to be movable by two guide rails 5, 5 extending in the left-right direction in front of the support 3 and facing each other. Figure 2 As shown, the lower ends of a pair of left and right support shafts 9b facing the up-down direction are fixed to the upper surface of the frame-shaped frame 9a of the movable panel 9, and the guide rollers 10 installed horizontally and rotatably on the upper ends of the two support shafts 9b are rollably inserted into the guide rails 5, so that the movable panel 9 is supported by the guide rails 5 to be movable. In addition, the movable panel 9 of this embodiment is formed by installing a whiteboard 11 on the frame-shaped frame 9a, but a transparent or translucent glass panel, a movable panel with different colors, patterns, designs, etc. on the front and back sides, etc. can also be used. A wheel 12 is installed in the central part of the width direction of the lower surface of the frame-shaped frame 9a of the movable panel 9, and the wheel 12 rotates in contact with the ground when moving. In addition, a caster that can rotate horizontally and freely can also be installed instead of the wheel 12.
[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, at the left corner portion of the front side of the frame body 2 ( Figure 1 At the terminal ends of the intersection direction of the guide rails 5, 5 of the A part), that is, at the terminal ends of the intersection direction of the adjacent guide rails 5, 5 installed on the two beams 4, 4 that are L-shaped from two directions and connected to the support 3 at right angles, both ends of a straight bridge rail 13 are laid in a manner that is 45 degrees when viewed from above and above and is continuous with the guide rails 5, 5, and the cross-sectional shape of the bridge rail 13 is the same as that of the guide rail 5. The upper surfaces of the two end portions of the bridge rail 13 are fixed to the lower surface of the beam 4 by means of screws 14. The lower ends of the adjacent cover parts 7, 7 are cut out to allow the bridge rail 13 to be inserted through. In addition, a similar bridge rail 13 is also laid on the guide rail 5 at the right L-shaped intersection.
[0040] And, if Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, at the T-shaped intersection ( Figure 1 The terminals in the cross direction of the three guide rails 5 of part B), that is, the terminals in the cross direction of the three adjacent guide rails 5 installed on each beam 4 connected to the support 3 at right angles from three directions, are also provided with the same bridge rails 13, 13 as mentioned above at both ends in a manner that is 45 degrees when viewed from above and above and is continuous with the three guide rails 5.
[0041] In this way, when the bridge rails 13 are installed on the guide rails 5 at the L-shaped intersection and the T-shaped intersection of the beam 4, the movable panel 9 can be moved in a certain direction. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In addition, if Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the total length of the bridge rail 13, that is, the dimension between the two ends continuous with the guide rails 5, 5 is approximately equal to the dimension between the centers of the guide rollers 10, 10 of the movable panel 9, but the dimension between the guide rollers 10, 10 can also be made smaller than the total length of the bridge rail 13 by a specified dimension.
[0042] Next, refer to Figures 7 to 9 The moving operation of the moving panel 9 is explained by referring to the schematic top view of FIG. Figure 7 As shown, for example, when the left movable panel 9 is moved to Figure 1 When moving to the L-shaped intersection side of the A portion, the movable panel 9 can be moved from the guide rail 5 facing the left and right direction to the guide rail 5 side facing the front and rear direction via the bridge rail 13. Thus, the position of the movable panel 9 can be changed from the front to the left and rear and the whiteboard 11 can be used.
[0043] like Figure 8 As shown, when the right mobile panel 9 is moved to Figure 1When the movable panel 9 is moved to the T-shaped intersection side of the B portion and passes through the right bridge rail 13 and the left bridge rail 13 which are continuous with each other, the movable panel 9 can bypass the pillar and move to the guide rail 5 side on the opposite side across the pillar 3, and the position of the movable panel 9 can be changed from the right to the left and the white board 11 can be used. At this time, since the dimension between the guide rollers 10 of the movable panel 9 is slightly shorter than the total length of the bridge rail 13, the movable panel 9 supported as a whole on the bridge rail 13 can be moved to the front side ( Figure 8 The guide roller 10 on the right side of the rear side is used as a fulcrum to rotate in the counterclockwise direction. As a result, the guide roller 10 on the rear side can move smoothly on the bridge rail 13 side on the left side. In addition, the bridge rail 13 can stably support the movable panel 9, so the whiteboard 11 of the movable panel 9 can also be used in a state of being tilted 45 degrees at the corner (see Figure 6 ).
[0044] like Fig. 9 As shown, when the right mobile panel 9 is moved to Figure 1 When the movable panel 9 is temporarily moved to the guide rail 5 extending in the front-to-back direction via the right bridge rail 13 on the T-intersection side of the B portion, and then turned back to the guide rail 5 on the opposite side via the left bridge rail 13, the movable panel 9 can be rotated 180 degrees to reverse the front and back sides, so that both sides of the whiteboard 11 can be used.
[0045] As described above, in the spatial structure 1 of the embodiment, the movable panel 9 can be moved to the adjacent guide rail 5 via the bridge rail 13, bypassing the support 3 at the intersection of the beam 4. Therefore, there is no need to support a plurality of movable panels 9 on the guide rail 5 at the intersection in advance, and the movable panels 9 can be used in combination to divide the indoor space without a sense of occlusion.
[0046] Furthermore, the bridge rail 13 is installed at an angle of 45 degrees on the guide rails 5, 5 at the intersection of the beam 4, so that the movable panel 9 can be quickly moved to the adjacent guide rail 5 in the shortest path. In addition, the two adjacent guide rails 5, 5 can be symmetrically connected via the bridge rail 13 at the intersection, so that the movement of the movable panel 9 from the guide rail 5 on one side to the guide rail 5 on the other side becomes smooth, and the movable panel can be beautifully arranged around the support 3 in the shortest path.
[0047] In addition, the movable panel 9 can be rotated 180 degrees at the T-shaped intersection of the beam 4 to exchange the front and back sides, so that both sides of the whiteboard 11 of the movable panel 9 can be used during meetings, etc. In addition, when using the movable panel 9 with different colors, patterns, designs, etc. on the front and back sides, the pattern of the spatial structure 1 can be replaced.
[0048] Furthermore, since the wheels 12 are provided at the center portion of the moving panel 9 in the width direction, the contact resistance with the ground when the moving panel 9 moves along the bridge rails 13 is reduced, and the direction change at the intersection is smooth.
[0049] As mentioned above, although the embodiment of the present invention is described based on the drawings, the specific structure is not limited to these embodiments, and additions and changes within the scope that does not depart from the gist of the present invention are also included in the present invention.
[0050] For example, in the aforementioned embodiment, the beams 4 of the frame body 2 are connected in a "sun" shape when viewed from above, and bridge rails 13 are installed at the L-shaped intersection and the T-shaped intersection. However, it is also possible that the beams 4 are crossed in a cross shape in the central part of the frame body 2, and bridge rails 13 are installed on the adjacent guide rails 5 at the cross intersection.
[0051] Furthermore, in the aforementioned embodiment, fixed panels 8 are supported on the rear and left and right beams 4, but movable panels 9 may be supported instead of fixed panels 8. In this case, bridge rails 13 may be installed on the adjacent guide rails 5 at the L-shaped intersection and the T-shaped intersection on the rear side.
[0052] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the bridge rail 13 is illustrated as a straight line, but it may be curved. In addition, the bridge rail 13 is installed at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the guide rail 5, but the angle of inclination is not limited to 45 degrees.
[0053] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the beam 4 extending in the left-right direction and the beam 4 extending in the front-rear direction are connected to cross each other at a right angle, but the present invention can also be applied to a spatial structure in which the beams are connected at an obtuse angle.
[0054] Furthermore, in the aforementioned embodiment, the dimension between the guide rollers 10 of the movable panel 9 is slightly shorter than the total length of the bridge rail 13, but is not limited to this. For example, even if the two are made to be approximately the same size, the guide roller 10 on the rear side can still move smoothly on the left side of the bridge rail 13, and the whiteboard 11 of the movable panel 9 can be used in a corner with an inclination of 45 degrees.
[0055] Furthermore, in the aforementioned embodiment, the movable panel 9 is installed with a whiteboard, but other surface materials such as a wooden board, a mesh plate, etc. may also be provided, and the front and back sides may also be different surface materials.
