[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-255055 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the wall panel mounting structure disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a problem in that it takes time and effort to improve the strength of any part of the wall panel. The present invention solves this problem. The object of the present invention is to provide a building wall section that has improved strength and makes it easy to improve the strength of any part. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The wall of a building according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The reference numerals used in this section are for the purpose of aiding in the understanding of the invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention to that shown in the drawings.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, a building wall portion 30 includes a plurality of panel support frames 50 and a plurality of wall panels 52, 54. The panel support frames 50 are erected horizontally at predetermined intervals. The wall panels 52, 54, 54 are stacked and positioned between adjacent panel support frames 50. Each pair of adjacent panel support frames 50 forms a support frame groove 76. The edges of each of the wall panels 52, 54, 54, 54 fit into the support frame groove 76. The building wall portion 30 further includes a panel cross reinforcement 58 and an inter-frame reinforcement 60. The panel cross reinforcement 58 is positioned so as to cross at least two of the wall panels 52, 54, 54, 54. The inter-frame reinforcement 60 is positioned between adjacent pairs of panel support frames 50. One end of the inter-frame stiffener 60 fits into one of the support frame grooves 76. The other end of the inter-frame stiffener 60 fits into the other support frame groove 76. The inter-frame stiffener 60 forms a groove, which will be described next. Either end of the panel cross stiffener 58 fits into that groove.

[0007] The panel cross reinforcement 58 is positioned so as to intersect with at least two of the wall panels 52, 54, 54, 54. In this case, assume that a load is applied from the back side of the wall panels 52, 54, 54, 54 when viewed from the location where the panel cross reinforcement 58 is positioned. In this case, those wall panels 52, 54, 54, 54 that intersect with the panel cross reinforcement 58 are supported by the panel cross reinforcement 58. One end of the panel cross reinforcement 58 fits into the groove formed by the inter-frame reinforcement 60. Since one end of the panel cross reinforcement 58 fits into the groove, the panel cross reinforcement 58 supports those wall panels 52, 54, 54, 54 that intersect with the panel cross reinforcement 58, and a portion of the load received by the panel cross reinforcement 58 is transferred to the inter-frame reinforcement 60. One end of the inter-frame reinforcement 60 fits into one of the support frame grooves 76. The other end of the inter-frame reinforcement 60 fits into the other support frame groove 76. As a result, the load transmitted to the inter-frame reinforcement 60 is transmitted to the pair of adjacent panel support frames 50, 50. This load transmission distributes the load to multiple portions, improving the strength of the building wall 30 according to one aspect of the present invention. In addition, the inter-frame reinforcement 60 forms a groove, which will be described next. Either end of the panel cross reinforcement 58 fits into this groove. This increases the degree of freedom in the position and number of the panel cross reinforcement 58 in the building wall 30 according to one aspect of the present invention. This increased degree of freedom makes it easier to improve the strength of any location. As a result, the strength is improved, and it becomes easier to improve the strength of any location.

[0008] Furthermore, it is preferable that the wall panel 54 described above has a panel bottom portion 96, a wall main portion 92, and a panel top portion 94. The panel bottom portion 96 rests on the other wall panels 52, 54 when placed between adjacent panel support frames 50, 50. The wall main portion 92 rises from the panel bottom portion 96. The panel top portion 94 is connected to the wall main portion 92. In this case, it is preferable that the inter-frame reinforcement 60 has a groove inner peripheral surface forming portion 250 and a main body support portion 252. The groove inner peripheral surface forming portion 250 forms the inner peripheral surface of the groove, which will be described next. Either of the ends of the panel cross reinforcement 58 fits into this groove. The groove inner peripheral surface forming portion 250 is positioned so that the groove, which will be described next, contacts the groove adjacent panel, which is either of the wall panels 52, 54. Either of the ends of the panel cross reinforcement 58 fits into this groove. The main body support portion 252 is connected to the groove inner peripheral surface forming portion 250. The body support portion 252 supports the wall body portion 92 of the groove adjacent panel when the wall body portion 92 of the groove adjacent panel contacts it.

[0009] When the wall body portion 92 of the groove adjacent panel comes into contact with the wall body portion 92, the body support portion 252 supports the wall body portion 92 of the groove adjacent panel. This further distributes the load described above. As a result, the strength of the building wall portion 30 according to one aspect of the present invention is further improved.

[0010] Alternatively, it is preferable that the panel top portion 94 described above has a receiving portion 170 and a connecting surface forming portion 172. The receiving portion 170 extends along the wall main body portion 92. The connecting surface forming portion 172 forms a surface, which will be described next. This surface connects the receiving portion 170 and the wall main body portion 92. In this case, it is preferable that the main body support portion 252 has a protruding portion 270 and a wall main body facing portion 272. The protruding portion 270 is arranged to protrude from the groove inner surface forming portion 250. The wall main body facing portion 272 is continuous with the protruding portion 270. The wall main body facing portion 272 is arranged to face the wall main body portion 92 of the groove adjacent panel. In this case, it is preferable that the wall main body facing portion 272 is arranged to extend along the wall main body portion 92 of the groove adjacent panel. In this case, it is preferable that the groove inner surface forming portion 250 is connected to the receiving portion 170 of the groove adjacent panel.

[0011] The groove inner peripheral surface forming portion 250 is connected to the receiving portion 170 of the groove adjacent panel. The protruding portion 270 is arranged to protrude from the groove inner peripheral surface forming portion 250. The wall main body facing portion 272 is continuous with the protruding portion 270. The wall main body facing portion 272 is arranged to face the wall main body portion 92 of the groove adjacent panel. The wall main body facing portion 272 is arranged to extend along the wall main body portion 92 of the groove adjacent panel. When a load with a small difference in magnitude per unit area is applied to the groove adjacent panel, the load is less likely to be concentrated in a specific location. As a result, the strength of the building wall portion 30 according to one aspect of the present invention is improved.

[0012] Alternatively, it is preferable that the panel top portion 94 described above has a receiving portion 170 and a connecting surface forming portion 172. The receiving portion 170 extends along the wall main body portion 92. The connecting surface forming portion 172 forms a surface, which will be described next. This surface connects the receiving portion 170 and the wall main body portion 92. In this case, it is preferable that the panel bottom portion 96 has a bottom surface forming portion 110 and a receiving opposing portion 116. The bottom surface forming portion 110 forms the bottom surface of the wall panel 52. The receiving opposing portion 116 protrudes from one end of the bottom surface forming portion 110. The receiving opposing portion 116 faces the receiving portion 170 of another wall panel 52 when the wall panel 52 is placed on top of another wall panel 52. In this case, it is preferable that the panel cross reinforcement 58 has a panel opposing portion 230 and a reinforcing body portion 232. The panel facing portion 230 is disposed so as to face one of the wall panels 52, 54. The reinforcing body portion 232 has the following portions and is connected to the panel facing portion 230. These portions extend in a direction away from the wall panels 52, 54 and in a direction along the surface formed by the wall panels 52, 54. In this case, it is desirable that the panel facing portion 230 be fixed to the receiving portion 170 of the groove adjacent panel and the receiving facing portion 116 of the wall panel 52 placed on the groove adjacent panel.

[0013] The panel facing portion 230 is fixed to the receiving portion 170 of the groove adjacent panel and the apex-protruding portion 112 of the wall panel 52 placed on the groove adjacent panel. This firmly connects the groove adjacent panel, the wall panel 52 placed on the groove adjacent panel, and the panel cross reinforcement 58. This firmly connects them, further distributing the load. As a result, the strength of the building wall section 30 according to one aspect of the present invention is improved. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to the present invention, a building wall portion is provided which has improved strength and in which it is easy to improve the strength of any part. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

When contacting the lower wall panel 52, the groove inner peripheral surface forming portion 250 is connected to the apex protrusion 112 of the lower wall panel 52. When contacting the upper-middle wall panel 54, the groove inner peripheral surface forming portion 250 is connected to the receiving portion 170 of the upper-middle wall panel 54. Figure 7 shows the situation when contacting the lower wall panel 52. In Figure 7, the groove whose inner peripheral surface is formed by the groove inner peripheral surface forming portion 250 faces upward. When contacting the upper-middle wall panel 54, the groove whose inner peripheral surface is formed by the groove inner peripheral surface forming portion 250 faces downward. In this embodiment, the lower wall panel 52 and the upper-middle wall panel 54 that contact the groove are referred to as "groove-adjacent panels."

[0041] The main body support portion 252 is continuous with the groove inner peripheral surface forming portion 250. When the wall main body portion 92 of the groove adjacent panel comes into contact with the main body support portion 252, the main body support portion 252 supports the wall main body portion 92. In the present embodiment, the main body support portion 252 has a protruding portion 270 and a wall main body facing portion 272. The protruding portion 270 is arranged so as to protrude from the groove inner peripheral surface forming portion 250. The wall main body facing portion 272 is continuous with the protruding portion 270. The wall main body facing portion 272 is arranged so as to face the wall main body portion 92 of the groove adjacent panel. In the present embodiment, the wall main body facing portion 272 is arranged so as to extend along the wall main body portion 92 of the groove adjacent panel.

[0042] [Description of construction method] The building wall 30 according to this embodiment is constructed in the following manner. First, workers erect the panel support frames 50, 50 according to this embodiment at predetermined intervals in the horizontal direction. The erection procedure itself is the same as a well-known procedure, and therefore, a detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

[0043] Once the panel support frames 50 are erected, the worker connects one of the pair of inter-frame reinforcements 60 to the lower wall panel 52. More specifically, the worker first inserts the main body support portion 252 of the inter-frame reinforcement 60 between the bottom surface forming portion 110 and the receiving portion 116 of the lower wall panel 52. Once the main body support portion 252 has inserted, the worker brings the groove inner surface forming portion 250 of the inter-frame reinforcement 60 into contact with the receiving portion 116 of the lower wall panel 52. At this time, the worker aligns the surface of the bottom surface forming portion 110 of the lower wall panel 52 that faces the outer periphery of the lower wall panel 52 with the surface of the groove inner surface forming portion 250 of the inter-frame reinforcement 60 that faces the outer periphery of the inter-frame reinforcement 60 on the same plane. In this state, the worker connects the groove inner surface forming portion 250 to the bottom surface forming portion 110 using well-known screws. This situation is illustrated in Figure 7 above.

[0044] Once the groove inner peripheral surface forming portion 250 is connected to the bottom surface forming portion 110, the worker places the lower wall panel 52 and one of the pair of inter-frame reinforcements 60, 60 between the adjacent panel support frames 50, 50. As a result, one end of the inter-frame reinforcement 60 fits into the support frame groove 76 of one of the pair of adjacent panel support frames 50, 50. The other end of the inter-frame reinforcement 60 fits into the support frame groove 76 of the other of the pair of panel support frames 50, 50. Figure 8 is a diagram showing the state in which the lower wall panel 52 and the inter-frame reinforcement 60 have been placed between the panel support frames 50, 50.

[0045] Next, the worker sequentially places the other middle-upper wall panels 54 between the adjacent panel support frames 50, 50. This results in the middle-upper wall panel 54 being placed on top of the lower wall panel 52. The other middle-upper wall panel 54 is then placed on top of the placed middle-upper wall panel 54. Figure 9 is a diagram showing the state in which the middle-upper wall panel 54 has been placed on top of the lower wall panel 52.

[0046] When only one middle-upper wall panel 54 remains between adjacent panel support frames 50, 50, the worker connects the other of the pair of inter-frame reinforcements 60, 60 to the remaining middle-upper wall panel 54. More specifically, the worker first inserts the main body support portion 252 of the inter-frame reinforcement 60 between the receiving portion 170 and the connecting surface forming portion 172 of the remaining middle-upper wall panel 54. Once the main body support portion 252 has inserted, the worker brings the groove inner surface forming portion 250 of the inter-frame reinforcement 60 into contact with the receiving portion 170 of the remaining middle-upper wall panel 54. At this time, the worker aligns the surface of the connecting surface forming portion 172 of the remaining middle-upper wall panel 54 that faces the outer periphery of the remaining middle-upper wall panel 54 and the surface of the groove inner surface forming portion 250 of the inter-frame reinforcement 60 that faces the outer periphery of the inter-frame reinforcement 60 on the same plane. In this state, the worker connects the groove inner peripheral surface forming portion 250 to the receiving portion 170 using a well-known screw. Figure 10 is a diagram showing the state in which the groove inner peripheral surface forming portion 250 of the inter-frame reinforcement member 60 has been connected to the middle / upper wall panel 54.

[0047] Once the groove inner peripheral surface forming portion 250 is connected to the receiving portion 170, the worker places the remaining middle / upper wall panel 54 and the other of the pair of inter-frame reinforcements 60, 60 between the adjacent panel support frames 50, 50. As a result, one end of the inter-frame reinforcement 60 fits into the support frame groove 76 of one of the pair of adjacent panel support frames 50, 50. The other end of the inter-frame reinforcement 60 fits into the support frame groove 76 of the other of the pair of panel support frames 50, 50.

[0048] Next, the worker fits the panel cross reinforcement 58 between the grooves of the pair of inter-frame reinforcements 60, 60 arranged above and below, where the groove inner peripheral surface forming portions 250 form the inner peripheral surfaces. After the panel cross reinforcement 58 is fitted, the worker secures the pair of panel opposing portions 230, 230 of the panel cross reinforcement 58 to the following location using well-known screws. This location is the receiving portion 170. The receiving portion 170 is the portion of the lower wall panel 52 or middle-upper wall panel 54 on which another middle-upper wall panel 54 rests. The receiving portion 170 and the receiving opposing portion 116 of the middle-upper wall panel 54 resting on the lower wall panel 52 or middle-upper wall panel 54 having the receiving portion 170 are also fixed to the pair of panel opposing portions 230, 230 described above. As a result, the panel facing portion 230 is fixed to the receiving portion 170 of the groove-adjacent panel and the receiving facing portion 116 of the middle-upper wall panel 54 placed on the groove-adjacent panel. In the present embodiment, multiple locations of each pair of panel facing portions 230, 230 are targeted for fixing.

[0049] Next, the worker fits the panel mounting bracket 56 into the gap between the inner circumferential surface of the support frame groove 76 of one of the pair of adjacent panel support frames 50, 50 and the stacked middle and upper wall panels 54, 54, 54, 54. Once this fitting is complete, the building wall section 30 according to this embodiment is completed.

[0050] [Effect description] According to this embodiment, the strength of the building wall portion 30 is improved and it is easy to improve the strength of any part. Accordingly, the following indirect effects may occur. The first indirect effect is that it is easy to improve the strength of a part. The second indirect effect is that it is possible to widen any of the spacings between the panel support frames 50, 50 in the building 10. The third indirect effect is that the number of panel support frames 50, 50 in the building 10 can be reduced as the panel cross reinforcements 58 and the inter-frame reinforcements 60 contribute to improving the strength. The fourth indirect effect is that the thickness of the wall main body portion 92 can be reduced as the panel cross reinforcements 58 and the inter-frame reinforcements 60 contribute to improving the strength. Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the upper middle wall panel 54, which is located at the top of the building wall portion 30, and the outer peripheral surface of the groove inner surface forming portion 250 of the inter-frame reinforcement member 60 connected to it are aligned on the same plane, thereby reducing the need to provide a coping or other member separately to smooth the surface of the topmost part of the building wall portion 30.

[0051] <Description of Modified Examples> The above-described building wall portion 30 is an example given to embody the technical concept of the present invention. The above-described building wall portion 30 can be modified in various ways within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention.

[0052] For example, in the building wall section 30 according to the present invention, the number of groove-forming portions 132 in the wall panel 52 and the shape of the grooves formed by these groove-forming portions 132 are not particularly limited. In the building wall section 30 according to the present invention, the inter-frame reinforcement members 60, 60 may be connected only to the lower wall panel 52 or only to the middle-upper wall panel 54. The specific form of the inter-frame reinforcement members is not limited to those described above. For example, the main body support portion may have a back-side facing portion (not shown) in addition to the protruding portion 270 and the wall main body facing portion 272. When the groove inner peripheral surface forming portion 250 is connected to the apex-direction protruding portion 112 or the receiving portion 170, the back-side facing portion is located at a position described below. This position is on the back side of the apex-direction protruding portion 112 or the receiving portion 170 when viewed from the position of the groove inner peripheral surface forming portion 250. If the main body support portion has a rear-side opposing portion, it is possible to suppress the movement and deflection of the main body support portion that occurs when the main body support portion receives a load from the panel cross reinforcement 58. When these are suppressed, the main body support portion can support the panel cross reinforcement 58 more steadily. [Explanation of symbols]
