Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an insulation panel mounting structure that makes ingenious use of the material properties of soft insulation material, can be easily attached by simply pushing in, and can slide to allow multiple unit panels to be installed side by side one after another, and to an insulation unit panel used therein. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art A known method for installing panels of insulation material or the like on a ceiling or wall surface involves attaching the panels between a pair of parallel guide rails.

[0003] Conventionally, as such a mounting structure, there has been disclosed a structure in which an elastic member of a mounting fixture provided on the panel side is elastically deformed and pressed in, and then a projection and recess are fitted together to fix the panel (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0004] However, like the wall panel in <Patent Document 1>, ceiling and wall materials are usually made of hard materials such as gypsum or board material, and since the ceiling and wall materials do not deform, only the elastic member of the mounting fixture is deformed during installation, which makes it difficult to control the force when pushing it in, resulting in a problem of poor workability.

[0005] In other words, if the pushing force is too weak, the panel will not fit properly between the guide rails, which can cause the panel to fall off or drop, which is dangerous. Conversely, if the pushing force is too strong, the panel will be pushed in further than necessary due to excessive force, which could damage the panel or cause injury to the worker.

[0006] Furthermore, when installing soft insulation materials such as glass wool on ceilings or walls, the usual method is to simply compress the insulation material to deform it and then pack it into the gaps and secure it in place. However, the insulation material is relatively large and requires a lot of work to lay it out, so there is a need to reduce the burden of installation. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0007] [Patent Document 1] Publication No. 6-24511 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] The present invention was made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems in the conventional technology, and its purpose is to provide an insulation panel mounting structure and an insulation unit panel used therein that make clever use of the material properties of soft insulation material, can be easily installed with a simple pushing action, and are slidable so that multiple unit panels can be arranged side by side one after the other. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The means adopted by the present inventor to solve the above technical problems will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0010] That is, the present invention is a mounting structure for arranging a plurality of heat-insulating unit panels 1 side by side between a pair of parallel guide rails 2 installed on a ceiling or wall surface, The heat-insulating unit panel 1 is constructed by fixing a frame material 12 to the outer peripheral edge of a heat-insulating material 11 that is soft and deformable and has a rectangular cross section, The frame material 12 arranged on one of the opposite sides is a channel piece 12A that stabilizes the shape of the heat insulating material 11. The width of this channel piece 12A is smaller than the side length of the heat insulating material 11, and at least the vicinity of both side ends of the heat insulating material 11 is exposed and fixed. The frame material 12 arranged on the other opposite side is a mounting piece 12B for mounting the heat insulating material 11 to the guide rail 2, and an elastically deformable folded leaf spring 13 is integrally extended on the upper surface of the mounting piece 12B. With the recess 13A of one folded leaf spring 13 abutting against the flange 21 of the guide rail 2, the inclined surface 13B of the other folded leaf spring 13 can be abutted against the tip of the flange 21 of the opposing guide rail 2 and pushed in while sliding, The elastic deformation of the bent leaf spring 13 and the compressive deformation of the heat insulating material 11 allow the protruding portion 13C of the bent leaf spring 13 to climb over the tip portion 21a of the flange 21 of the guide rail 2, The bent leaf spring 13 and the heat insulating material 11 are restored after passing over the tip portion 21a of the flange 21, and the bent leaf spring 13 returns to its original position. The insulating panel mounting structure is completed by adopting a technical means that allows the insulating unit panel 1 to be sandwiched between the guide rails 2 and configures the insulating unit panel 1 to be slidable along the longitudinal direction of the guide rails 2.

[0011] In addition, the present invention is configured by fixing a frame material 12 to the outer peripheral edge of a soft, deformable, rectangular cross-section insulating material 11, The frame material 12 arranged on one of the opposite sides is a channel piece 12A that stabilizes the shape of the heat insulating material 11. The width of this channel piece 12A is smaller than the side length of the heat insulating material 11, and at least the vicinity of both side ends of the heat insulating material 11 is exposed and fixed. The frame material 12 arranged on the other opposite side is a mounting piece 12B for attaching the insulation material 11 to the guide rail 2, and the insulating unit panel is completed by adopting a technical measure in which an elastically deformable folded leaf spring 13 is integrally extended onto the upper surface of this mounting piece 12B. Effect of the Invention

[0012] The present invention is characterized by the shape of the frame material fixed to the outer peripheral edge of the insulation material, and the frame materials do not interfere with each other when the insulation material is deformed to attach it to a ceiling or wall surface, so the insulation material can be deformed smoothly while maintaining its dimensional stability.

[0013] In this way, the present invention cleverly utilizes the material properties of the soft insulation material and is able to deform both the bent leaf spring and the insulation material, so that there is little resistance during installation and it can be easily installed with just a pushing motion.

[0014] In addition, because the unit panels are slidable after being attached to the guide rails, multiple unit panels can be attached one after the other and arranged side by side, resulting in a flat, attractive exterior.

[0015] Furthermore, especially when installed on a ceiling, the insulation unit panel is slidably mounted in place, and this clearance makes it possible to absorb vibrations and shocks from earthquakes, etc., and prevents the panel from falling, making it extremely safe.

[0016] Furthermore, since the heat insulating unit panels are lightweight and can be deformed without difficulty, the amount of force applied can be easily adjusted, greatly reducing the burden of construction work. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0018] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 8. In the figures, reference numeral 1 denotes a heat insulating unit panel, and reference numeral 2 denotes a guide rail.

[0019] First, the configuration of the heat-insulating unit panel 1 of this embodiment will be described (see Figs. 1 and 2). The heat-insulating unit panel 1 is configured by fixing a frame material 12 to the outer peripheral edge of a soft, deformable heat-insulating material 11 having a rectangular cross section. For the heat-insulating material 11 of this embodiment, laminated glass wool is used because it is lightweight, has high heat insulation properties, and has excellent sound absorption properties.

[0020] The rectangular cross section of the insulation material 11 basically refers to the planar shape of a rectangular prism that is close to a flat plate, but the insulation material 11 is not limited to being solid, and because of its soft and deformable nature, it also includes materials with hollow parts such as foams (foam, sponge) and honeycomb structures.

[0021] In this embodiment, the material used for the frame material 12 is excellent in elasticity and corrosion resistance, lightweight, and easy to process. Because of its low cost, it is preferable to use metal materials such as galvalume steel sheet (registered trademark / JIS standard name: hot-dip 55% aluminum-zinc alloy plated steel sheet) and aluminum, but plastic materials having similar properties can also be used.

[0022] Next, the configuration of the frame material 12 of this embodiment will be described. Since this frame material 12 is a member fixed to the outer peripheral edge of the thermal insulation material 11 having a rectangular cross section, it is configured so that each of the two pairs of opposite sides has a different structure and function.

[0023] First, the frame material 12 arranged on one opposite side is a channel piece 12A that stabilizes the shape of the insulation material 11, and the width of this channel piece 12A is smaller than the side length of the insulation material 11, and the insulation material 11 is fixed in a state where at least the vicinity of both side ends thereof is exposed.

[0024] In this embodiment, the channel piece 12A is a channel material (angle material) with an L-shaped cross section, and is bonded and fixed from the top surface to the side surface of the heat insulating material 11. The main purpose of exposing the vicinity of both side ends of the heat insulating material 11 is to stabilize the shape of the heat insulating material 11, and the exposed parts are merely non-bonded parts to allow deformation of the heat insulating material 11, which will be described later, so specifically, an exposed width of about 1 to 2 cm is sufficient.

[0025] The frame material 12 arranged on the other opposite side is an attachment piece 12B for attaching the insulation material 11 to the guide rail 2, and an elastically deformable folded leaf spring 13 is integrally extended on the upper surface of this attachment piece 12B.

[0026] In this embodiment, it is preferable that the angle of the recess 13A of the folded leaf spring 13 is in the range of 45° to 50° and the angle of the protrusion 13C is 90°, which reduces the resistance during the pushing operation and reliably prevents the insulation material 11 from falling off.

[0027] Next, the heat-insulating panel mounting structure and its construction procedure of this embodiment will be described (see Figs. 3 to 7). In this embodiment, a plurality of heat-insulating unit panels 1 are arranged side by side between a pair of parallel guide rails 2 installed on a ceiling or wall surface.

[0028] When the guide rail 2 is installed on a ceiling, it is a member suspended from the ceiling and has a flange 21 formed at its lower end. This flange 21 extends vertically from the lower end and may have a T-shaped cross section extending to both sides, or an L-shaped cross section extending to one side.

[0029] First, the recess 13A of one of the folded leaf springs 13 is brought into contact with the flange 21 of the guide rail 2 (see FIG. 4). Then, in this state, the inclined surface 13B of the other folded leaf spring 13 is brought into contact with the tip end of the flange 21 of the opposing guide rail 2 and pressed in while sliding.

[0030] Then, the elastic deformation of the bent leaf spring 13 and the compressive deformation of the heat insulating material 11 allow the convex portion 13C of the bent leaf spring 13 to climb over the tip portion 21a of the flange 21 of the guide rail 2.

[0031] When force is applied in this way, sometimes due to subtle deviations in the elasticity and density of the materials of the curved leaf springs 13 and the insulation material 11, both of the curved leaf springs 13 and the insulation material 11 may deform as shown in Figure 5, or only one of the curved leaf springs 13 and the insulation material 11 may deform as shown in Figure 6 (not limited to deformation of only the left side as shown, but deformation of only the right side not shown is also possible). Note that the compressive deformation of the insulation material 11 is temporary during installation and construction, and since the panels are not frequently attached and detached, the insulation material 11 immediately returns to its original shape and no deformation history remains.

[0032] When the folded leaf spring 13 and the insulating material 11 are deformed, the folded portion where the recess 13A of the folded leaf spring 13 is formed presses against the surface of the insulating material 11. However, this folded portion does not come into contact with the channel piece 12A (upper surface) and the frame materials do not interfere with each other, so the insulating material 11 can be smoothly elastically deformed while maintaining its dimensional stability.

[0033] Thereafter, when the convex portion 13C of the bent leaf spring 13 climbs over the tip portion 21a of the flange 21, the bent leaf spring 13 and the heat insulating material 11 return to their original state, and the bent leaf spring 13 returns to its original position.

[0034] By doing so, the heat insulating unit panel 1 can be sandwiched between the guide rails 2 (see FIG. 7).

[0035] As shown in Figure 8, the installed insulation unit panel 1 can slide along the longitudinal direction of the guide rail 2, and by moving the insulation unit panel 1, multiple other insulation unit panels 1 can be installed in succession and arranged side by side in a similar manner, thereby creating a flat and attractive exterior.

[0036] Furthermore, by providing such a slidable clearance range of movement, the energy of vibrations and impacts can be absorbed, and the heat insulating unit panel 1 can be effectively prevented from falling off or dropping.

[0037] The present invention is generally configured as described above, but is in no way limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the claims. For example, the channel piece 12A of the frame material 12 is not limited to an L-shaped cross section, but may have a U-shaped cross section, and may be fixed by bonding from the top surface to the sides and bottom surface, sandwiching the insulation material 11 body.

[0038] Furthermore, the folded leaf spring 13 is usually provided over the entire length of the mounting piece 12B, but it may be provided partially or at a plurality of locations.

[0039] Furthermore, although the present invention describes a structure for installation on a ceiling, as long as it has guide rails, it is naturally possible to apply it not only to horizontally installed structures such as ceilings, but also to vertically installed structures such as walls, and all of these fall within the technical scope of the present invention.
