Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a wall panel that constitutes a wall of a building and has an opening in which a trim material is installed. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, Patent Document 1 describes a structure in which a shoji screen is fixed to a frame formed of vertical and horizontal members fixed to an opening in a building via a shoji frame.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2007-315016 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Generally, wall panels that form the walls of buildings and have openings are known, and trim materials and fittings are installed in the openings. Such wall panels may be assembled in a factory and stacked flat when transported to a construction site. In this case, if the trim materials installed on the wall panels are configured to protrude to the outside of the room, such as the vertical and horizontal trim materials described in Patent Document 1, there is a risk that installing the trim materials before transportation will get in the way of stacking the wall panels flat. On the other hand, if the trim is not attached to the wall panel at the factory and is transported separately and then assembled to the wall panel at the construction site, it takes time and effort to transport the trim at the construction site and assemble it to the wall panel.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a wall panel which can be easily transported and easily installed on site. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The wall panel of the present invention is a wall panel having an opening, wherein an opening frame is provided in the opening to define the opening, and a trim material is connected to the opening frame so as to be switchable between a storage position that fits within the opening frame and a protruding position that protrudes from the storage position in the direction of the opening. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the present invention, a wall panel that can improve transportability and on-site workability can be provided. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0009] [Configuration of this embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2, wall panel 1 according to this embodiment is incorporated into a building to form a wall that separates the outside and inside of the room, and comprises a panel body 2 and an opening frame 5 that defines an opening 4 in which a shoji screen 3 is placed as a fixture relative to the panel body 2. The shoji screen 3 is formed by arranging a surface material 35 such as a glass panel within a frame 34 that is made up of an upper frame 31, a lower frame 32, and left and right vertical frames 33 formed from a resin extruded material. In the following description, the left-right direction of the wall panel 1 is defined as the X-axis direction, the up-down direction of the wall panel 1 is defined as the Y-axis direction, and the projection direction of the wall panel 1 is defined as the Z-axis direction. The X, Y, and Z axis directions are perpendicular to each other.

[0010] The panel body 2 is constructed by arranging a panel 25 within a frame having left and right vertical members and top and bottom horizontal members. A lintel 26 and a window sill 27 are provided within the frame along the X-axis direction, and left and right vertical members 28 along the Y-axis direction are provided at the left and right ends of the lintel 26 and the window sill 27. In this embodiment, the panel 25 is constructed of a load-bearing surface material such as particle board made by overlapping multiple wooden boards. An exterior wall material 11 is provided on the exterior side of the panel 25 via a spacer 10.

[0011] The opening frame 5 comprises an upper frame 51, a lower frame 52 and left and right vertical frames 53, the upper frame 51 being installed along the lintel 26, the lower frame 52 being installed along the window sill 27, and the left and right vertical frames 53 being installed along the left and right vertical members 28.

[0012] The lower frame 52 is fitted with a weatherstripping material 12 which is formed in a frame shape and abuts against the frame 34 from the outside of the room, and its exterior-facing surface 521 is provided with a fitting portion 523 into which a water-repellent material 522 is fitted. The water-repellent material 522 is configured to extend in the X-axis direction longer than the distance in the X-axis direction between left and right vertical trimming materials 71 described later, and protrudes outside the room further than trimming materials such as an upper trimming material 61 and a vertical trimming material 71 described later. The water-repellent material 522 is connected to the lower ends of the left and right vertical trimming materials 71. A seal material and a backup material 15 are provided between the water-repellent material 522 and the exterior wall material 11.

[0013] The upper frame 51 has an exterior facing surface 511 (facing surface) and a recessed surface 513, and is formed from an aluminum extruded member. A receiving piece 514 that receives the frame 34 of the shoji screen 3 from the outside of the room is provided on the recessed surface 513 and extends inward. In addition, located on the inside of the room than the upper frame 51 is a resin cover material 512 with an L-shaped cross section that covers the interior face and inner peripheral face of the lintel 26 and is screwed to the lintel 26. A tension material 12 that abuts against the frame 34 from the outside of the room is attached to the receiving piece 514, the cover material 512, and a retaining member 518 described later. As shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5 (A), the exterior visible surface portion 511 has a storage groove portion 515 that is recessed from the exterior side toward the interior side and has a depth dimension that allows the upper trim material 61 described later to fit within the projection, and a retaining portion 516 formed at the end portion on the inner side of the storage groove portion 515, and the retaining portion 516 of the upper frame 51 holds the held portion 611 of the upper trim material 61 (trimming material) so that it can rotate around an axis along the X-axis direction. Here, the upper trim material 61 has a main body piece 610 along the X-axis direction, the above-mentioned held portion 611 formed in an arc shape at the base end of the main body piece 610, a stepped step portion 612 formed in the middle part in the width direction of the main body piece 610, and a screw hole 613 as a connecting portion provided on the tip side of the step portion 612, and is connected to the vertical trim material 71 described later at this screw hole 613. The held portion 611 extends continuously in the X-axis direction along the main body piece 610. In addition, a concave recess 614 that functions as a water drop is formed along the X-axis direction in the part on the base end side of the step portion 612. In addition, a corner portion 615 of the step portion 612 continuing to the tip side of the upper trim material 61 is configured as an abutment portion that abuts against the bottom surface portion (exterior appearance surface portion 511) of the storage groove portion 515 when the upper trim material 61 is arranged at the storage position P1 stored in the storage groove portion 515. When the corner portion 615 abuts the exterior facing surface portion 511, a fixing screw 14 for fixing the retaining member 518 described later to the exterior facing surface portion 511 is arranged in the recess 614, and thus the recess 614 also forms a space between the exterior facing surface portion 511 and the fixing screw 14. The retaining portion 516 extends continuously in the X-axis direction along the upper frame 51, and has an arc-shaped outer retaining portion 517 formed integrally and continuously with the end of the exterior-facing surface portion 511, and a retaining member 518 fixed to the exterior-facing surface portion 511 with a fixing screw 14 as a fastener, and the retaining member 518 is fitted with a weatherstripping material 12 that abuts against the frame 34, and has an arc-shaped inner retaining portion 519 arranged outside in the Z-axis direction relative to the portion to which the weatherstripping material 12 is fitted. The outer retaining portion 517 slidably contacts the arc outer surface of the retained portion 611, and the inner retaining portion 519 slidably contacts the arc inner surface of the retained portion 611 so as to cooperate with the outer retaining portion 517 to retain the retained portion 611. The base of the inner retaining portion 519 is disposed so as to abut against the base of the retained portion 611 in the Z-axis direction when the upper trim material 61 is disposed at the protruding position P2. The exterior-facing surface portion 511 and the projection surface portion 513, which constitute the outer retaining portion 517, constitute the frame body of the upper frame 51, and the retaining member 518 is attached to this frame body. In addition, a sealing material and a backup material 15 are provided between the upper trim material 61 and the exterior wall material 11.

[0014] The left and right vertical frames 53 are configured similarly to each other and are arranged in opposite left-right directions, and are configured generally similarly to the above-mentioned upper frame 51, so the same reference numerals are appropriately used in the drawings and detailed description of these will be omitted. Here, a vertical trim material 71 (trimming material) is connected to the vertical frame 53 so as to be rotatable about an axis along the Y-axis direction. In addition, a cover material 512 is arranged at a position on the indoor side of the vertical frame 53. As shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5(B), the vertical trimming material 71 has a main body piece 710 along the Y-axis direction, a held portion 711 formed in an arc shape at the base end of the main body piece 710, and a screw hole 713 formed in the main body piece 710 as an abutment portion that abuts against the exterior appearance surface portion 511 of the vertical frame 53 at the storage position P1. A drainage groove portion 714 is formed at the upper end of the main body piece 710 at a position facing the recessed portion 614 while connected to the end of the upper trimming material 61 in the X-axis direction. The held portion 711 extends continuously in the Y-axis direction along the main body piece 710. In addition, the screw hole 713 is connected to the water dripping material 522 by a fixing screw (not shown), and when this screw hole 713 abuts against the exterior facing surface 511 of the vertical frame 53, a space is formed between the main body piece 710 and the exterior facing surface 511 to avoid the fixing screw 14. In addition, a sealing material and a backup material 15 are provided between the vertical parting material 71 and the exterior wall material 11.

[0015] The above wall panel 1 is assembled in a factory, transported to a construction site, and installed there as follows. First, the opening frame 5 is assembled to the panel body 2 to define the opening 4, and the upper trim material 61 and the left and right vertical trim materials 71 are connected to the upper frame 51 and the left and right vertical frames 53 that constitute the opening frame 5. This connection is performed by fixing each holding member 518 to each exterior appearance surface portion 511 with a fixing screw 14, so that the held portions 611, 711 are slidably sandwiched between the outer holding portion 517 and the inner holding portion 519. The upper trim material 61 and the left and right vertical trim materials 71 are stored in each storage groove portion 515 and arranged at the storage position P1. The upper trim material 61 and the left and right vertical trim materials 71 arranged at the storage position P1 are arranged along the appearance direction of the upper frame 51 and the left and right vertical frames 53. A paper screen 3 is also installed within the opening frame 5. Next, the wall panels 1 are stacked flat as shown in Fig. 6. At this time, the top trim material 61 and the left and right vertical trim materials 71 are arranged in the storage position P1 and therefore are contained within the projection of the opening frame 5, reducing the risk that the top trim material 61 and the left and right vertical trim materials 71 will interfere with the stacking of the wall panels 1. Next, the stacked wall panels 1 are transported to the construction site. Next, the wall panel 1 is installed on the building, and the top trim 61 and the left and right vertical trims 71 are rotated and positioned at the protruding position P2. The state in which the top trim 61 and the left and right vertical trims 71 are positioned at the protruding position P2 can be maintained by the base of each held portion 611, 711 abutting against the base of the inner holding portion 519 in the Z-axis direction. In this position, both ends of the top trim 61 and the upper ends of the left and right vertical trims 71 are screwed together. A sealant is applied to the corners where the trims 61, 71 are connected to each other. Next, the water flashing 522 is fitted into the fitting portion 523 of the lower frame 52, and screwed together with the lower ends of the left and right vertical trims 71. In this manner, the wall panel 1 is assembled, transported, and installed. The opening frame 5 also functions as a fitting frame within which the shoji screen 3 is placed.

[0016] [Variations] In the above embodiment, the upper trim material 61 and the vertical trim material 71 are arranged along the viewing direction of the upper frame 51 and the vertical frame 53 at their respective storage positions P1, but they may be inclined relative to the respective viewing directions as long as they are contained within each storage groove portion 515. In the above embodiment, the upper trim material 61 and the vertical trim material 71 are slidably held by the holding portion 516 provided on the upper frame 51 and the vertical frame 53, thereby rotatably connecting the upper trim material 61 to the upper frame 51 and connecting the vertical trim material 71 to the vertical frame 53. However, this is not limited to the above, and for example, a general hinge member (hinge) may be attached to each trim material 61, 71 and the upper frame 51 and the vertical frame 53. In the above embodiment, each held portion 611, 711 and each holding portion 516 extends continuously along the longitudinal direction of each trim material 61, 71, but this is not limited thereto and may be arranged intermittently at intervals along the longitudinal direction. In the above embodiment, the upper frame 51 and the vertical frame 53 are configured to include a frame main body in which the outer retaining portion 517 is formed, and a retaining member 518 that is attached to the frame main body and has an inner retaining portion 519. However, this is not limited to the above, and for example, the configuration may be such that the retaining member 518 is omitted and the inner retaining portion 519 is provided on the frame main body, and the retained portions 611, 711 are pressed into each retaining portion 516, thereby fitting the retained portions 611, 711 into the retaining portions 516. In the above embodiment, the base of the held portion 611, 711 and the inner holding portion 519 are configured to abut against each other in the Z-axis direction when each parting material 61, 71 is positioned at its respective protruding position P2, but this is not limited to the above and the bases may be configured not to abut against each other even in that state. In the above embodiment, a recess 614 is formed in the upper trim material 61, and a drainage groove portion 714 is formed at the upper end of the vertical trim material 71, but the configuration of the recess 614 and the groove portion 714 may be omitted, for example, in cases where a drainage structure such as a water drip is not required or other drainage means are provided. In the above embodiment, the trim members 61, 71 are disposed on three sides, namely the top and the left and right sides, but this is not limiting and it is sufficient that the trim members are disposed rotatably on at least one side depending on the design, etc. In the above embodiment, each trim material 61, 71 is connected to the opening frame 5 so that it can rotate from the storage position P1 to the protruding position P2, but this is not limited to the above, and it is sufficient that each trim material 61, 71 is arranged on the opening frame 5 so that it can be switched between the storage position P1 and the protruding position P2.If it is switchable in this manner, it may be possible, for example, to insert the trim material into the opening frame 5 at the storage position P1 and the protruding position P2. In the above embodiment, the shoji screen 3 has been described as the fitting to be placed within the opening frame 5, but in addition, various types of windows also having fitting frames may also be used as the fitting.

[0017] [Summary of the invention] (1) The wall panel of the present invention is a wall panel having an opening, the opening being provided with an opening frame that defines the opening, and a trim material being arranged in the opening frame so as to be switchable between a storage position that fits within the opening and a protruding position that protrudes from the storage position in the direction of the opening. According to the wall panel of the present invention, even if the trim material is connected to the opening frame when assembling the wall panel in the factory, by placing the trim material in the storage position, the trim material will be contained within the recesses of the wall panels even when the wall panels are stacked flat for transportation, so that the wall panels can be stacked flat in an ideal manner without the recesses getting in the way, improving transportability. Also, even during on-site construction, the trim material is stored in the storage position in the opening frame, i.e., it is already incorporated into the wall panel, so there is no need to carry the trim material separately from the wall panel.Furthermore, since the position of the trim material can be switched from the stored position to the protruding position, there is no need to fix the trim material to the opening frame on-site with fixing screws, etc., thereby improving on-site construction. (2) In the wall panel of the present invention, the trim material may be connected to the opening frame so as to be rotatable from the stored position to the protruding position. With this configuration, the trim material can be pulled out to the protruding position simply by rotating it from the stored position, thereby improving on-site workability. (3) In the wall panel of the present invention, the trim material is arranged along the visible direction of the opening frame in the storage position, and the opening frame may be formed with a storage groove portion having a depth dimension such that the trim material arranged in the storage position fits within the visible direction of the opening frame. According to this configuration, the parting material is stored in the storage groove portion having the above-mentioned depth dimension, so that the parting material can be easily arranged in the storage position. (4) In the wall panel of the present invention, the trim material may have an arc-shaped retained portion formed thereon, and the opening frame may have a retaining portion for rotatably holding the retained portion, and the retaining portion may have an arc-shaped outer retaining portion that slidably contacts the arc-shaped outer surface of the retained portion, and an arc-shaped inner retaining portion that slidably contacts the arc-shaped inner surface of the retained portion so as to cooperate with the outer retaining portion to hold the retained portion. According to this configuration, a hinge-type rotating portion can be formed at the connection portion between the opening frame and the trim material, without providing a typical hinge having a rotating shaft and a bearing. (5) In the wall panel of the present invention, the held portion and the holding portion may extend continuously along the longitudinal direction of the trim material. According to such a configuration, the connecting portion can be made into a uniform, continuous shape, compared to a case where the hinge portions are provided intermittently, for example, and the external design can be improved. (6) In the wall panel of the present invention, the opening frame may include a frame body in which the outer retaining portion is formed, and a retaining member attached to the frame body and having the inner retaining portion. With this configuration, compared to, for example, a type in which the retaining portion of the opening frame is slightly bent and the retained portion is fitted into the retaining portion, the retaining member can be attached to the frame body while positioning the retained portion between the outer retaining portion and the inner retaining portion, so there is no need to bend the outer retaining portion or the inner retaining portion, and the work of connecting the trim material and the opening frame can be easily performed. (7) In the wall panel of the present invention, the frame body has a visible surface portion on which the outer retaining portion is formed, the retaining member is fixed to the visible surface portion by a fixing device, and the trim material has an abutment portion that abuts against the visible surface of the visible surface portion when the trim material is arranged in the storage position, and the trim material may form a space between the visible surface portion and the abutment portion to avoid the fixing device when the abutment portion abuts against the visible surface portion. With this configuration, even when the retaining member is fixed to the frame body, the fixing device does not get in the way when placing the trim material in the storage position, and the trim material can be stored conveniently. (8) In the wall panel of the present invention, the base of the retained portion and the base of the inner retaining portion may be arranged to abut against each other in the projecting direction when the trim material is positioned in the protruding position. With this configuration, when the trim material is placed at the installation position, the above-mentioned base portions abut in the projecting direction, thereby preventing the trim material from rotating beyond the protruding position, thereby improving workability. (9) In the wall panel of the present invention, the opening frame has at least an upper frame and left and right vertical frames, and the trim material has an upper trim material along the upper frame and left and right vertical trim materials along the left and right vertical frames, and both ends of the upper trim material and the upper ends of the left and right vertical trim materials may be connected to each other with each positioned in the protruding position. With this configuration, the upper trim material and the left and right vertical trim materials can be connected together, so that they can be maintained in the protruding position. (10) In the wall panel of the present invention, the upper trim material has a recess formed along the longitudinal direction which is concave upward when the upper trim material is positioned in the protruding position, and a connection portion with the vertical trim material is formed on the inner surface tip side of the recess, and a drainage groove portion is formed at the upper end of the vertical trim material in a position opposite the recess when connected to the end of the upper trim material. With this configuration, rainwater and other water flowing through the recess in the upper trim can be drained through the groove in the vertical trim. In addition, the recess in the upper trim can be used as a configuration to form a space to avoid the fixing portion, for example, when the retaining member is fixed to the frame body by a fixing device.
