Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a partition structure that can be easily assembled when temporary private rooms are required in evacuation shelters, etc., and can be stored in a compact structure. [Background technology]

[0002] Since it is not known when a disaster will occur, partition structures have been proposed that require less storage space and are easy to assemble in evacuation shelters.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a simple private room structure 100 formed using a rectangular box-shaped storage body 110 and a plurality of components stored therein. The rectangular outer frame of the storage body 110 can be separated at two locations, one corner and the other diagonal corner, and two first corner members with an L-shaped horizontal cross section are obtained from the outer frame of the storage body 110, and a plurality of wall panels 120 are obtained. The proposed idea is to use the two first corner members 111, 112 as two existing corner portions, and to erect and join the wall panels 120 between the respective corner portions to form a surrounding wall portion.

[0004] Furthermore, Patent Document 2 proposes a simple partition in which a partition 1 is provided with side wall panels 2(1) to 2(5) that form the four walls, a first hinge body 4A that rotates the side wall panels 2, 2 in the folding direction, a vertical shaft body 3 connected to the side wall panel 2 via the first hinge body 4A, and a second hinge body 4B that is connected to the other side wall panel 2 and the vertical shaft body 3 and rotates the side wall panel 2 in the opposite folding direction, and by rotating the side wall panel 2 and the vertical shaft body 3 around the first hinge body 4A and the second hinge body 4B, a partition mode S or a folding mode (Figure 3) can be taken.

[0011] The partition structure according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments and drawings described below are intended to exemplify some of the embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention to these configurations. Appropriate modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention.

[0012] (Example) The partition structure 1 will be described below with reference to FIGS. The partition structure 1 shown in Figure 1 comprises assembled column members 10, upper rails 20, walls 40, and fixing members 50. Although some of the fixing members 50 are omitted in Figure 1, when the partition structure 1 is completed, fixing members 50 are provided between all of the assembled column members 10.

[0013] Walls 40 are sandwiched between the assembled column members 10 to form partitions. In addition, fixing members 50 between the assembled column members 10 use ropes or the like to pull the assembled column members 10 together, sandwiching and fixing the walls 40.

[0014] Figure 2 shows a layout diagram of the partition structure 1 as seen from above. The partition structure 1 in Figure 2 has 16 compartmented rooms arranged in a straight line. In addition, to maintain horizontal strength, the assembled column members 10 and upper rails 20 are fitted and fixed.

[0015] 3 to 5 show the structure of the assembled column member 10. The assembled column member 10 is formed by fitting two column plates 11 together. The column plates 11 are rectangular plates with a thickness of 6 to 12 mm, a width of 200 mm, and a length of 1800 mm. Materials that can be used for the column plates 11 include plywood, wood, metal, and resin.

[0016] The pillar plate 11 has a slit 12, which is a groove, formed from the center in the width direction to the center in the length direction. The width of the slit 12 is cut out to be 2 to 6 mm larger than the plate thickness so that the pillar plate 11 can rotate around the central position as an axis when fitted together.

[0017] The pillar plate 11 also has fixing holes 14 at the four corners and at the center, which are through holes for passing a rope or the like of the fixing member 50 through.

[0018] 5 is a diagram showing the state when assembling the assembled column member 10. The assembled column member 10 is formed by flipping one column plate 11 upside down by 180 degrees and then rotating it horizontally by approximately 90 degrees, and fitting it into the other column plate 11 by aligning the position of the slit 12 from above.

[0019] Then, a pair of assembled column members 10 is completed as shown in Figure 6. When viewed from above, the assembled column members 10 form a cross shape, and the heights of the end faces are uniform. The corners of the column plates 11 may be chamfered to prevent injury in the event of a collision.

[0020] Next, the upper crosspiece 20 will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 7. The upper crosspiece 20 is composed of a first upper crosspiece 21 and a second upper crosspiece 25. The first upper crosspiece 21 has a plurality of first cutouts 23 of the same size on the bottom. The first cutouts 23 have a structure that allows the above-mentioned assembled column members 10 to be inserted, and are configured according to the spacing between the assembled column members 10. In the arrangement shown in Figure 1, the first upper crosspiece 21 is provided above the longitudinal wall 40.

[0021] The second upper crosspiece 25 has a plurality of second cutouts 29 of the same size on the bottom. The second cutouts 29 are structured so that the assembled column members 10 can be inserted, and are configured according to the spacing between the assembled column members 10. In the arrangement shown in Figure 1, the second upper crosspiece 25 is provided above the wall 40 in the short side direction.

[0022] Additionally, second upper crosspiece 25 has a plurality of upper cutouts 27 of the same size on the upper side. Second cutouts 29 are structured to be able to fit into first cutouts 23, and are configured according to the spacing of first cutouts 23. This fitting allows the height of the upper ends of upper crosspieces 20 to be aligned.

[0023] Next, the fixing member 50 will be described with reference to Figure 8. The fixing member 50 includes a string-like rope 51 for applying tension between the assembled column members 10 and a fixing bracket 53 for fixing the rope 51. The fixing bracket 53 is made of metal, resin, or the like, and has two through holes 54 formed therein.

[0024] The rope 51 is passed through the fixing hole 14 of the assembled column member 10, and the tip 57 of the rope 51 is fixed with a knot or the like so that it does not slip out. The rope 51 may be made of rubber, wire, etc. as long as it has a structure that allows tension to be applied between the assembled column members 10.

[0025] Next, the operation of the partition structure 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 8. Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing a cross section of a part of the partition structure 1. The partition structure 1 is passed through the fixing holes 14 of the assembled column members 10, and the ends 57 of the ropes 51 are fixed with a knot or the like so that they do not slip out, and tension is applied between the assembled column members 10.

[0026] The wall 40 is then sandwiched and fixed between a pair of pillar plates 11. As described above, the width (H) of the slit 12 in the pillar plate 11 is set to be larger than the thickness of the pillar plate 11. With the above structure, the angle between the pillar plates 11 can be adjusted, and can also be made smaller than 90 degrees. Therefore, the angle (α) can be adjusted by changing the thickness of the wall 40.

[0027] (Technical features) Below, examples of the technical features of this embodiment are shown in parentheses, but they are not particularly limiting and are merely examples, and the effects that can be expected from these features will also be described.

[0028] <Feature 1> A column member (e.g., mainly an assembled column member 10) that is formed by crossing and combining a plurality of plate-shaped plate members (e.g., mainly column plates 11) to form a pair of columns; A wall surface (for example, mainly a wall 40) provided between the pillar member, and a fixing member (e.g., mainly a fixing member 50) that is hung between the pillar members and fixes the wall surface, The wall surface is sandwiched and fixed by the plate-like members due to tension applied by the fixing members.

[0029] Due to the above features, the installation work is easy, the number of parts is small, and it can be configured to function as a partition.

[0030] <Feature 2> The slits (mainly slits 12, for example) which are grooves provided in the plate-like members are characterized in that the angle at which the two plate-like members intersect can be adjusted. The above features make it possible to select a desired wall thickness regardless of the wall thickness.

[0031] <Feature 3> The slit is configured to have a dimension larger than the thickness of the plate-like member. With the above feature, it is possible to select a desired wall thickness regardless of the thickness of the wall surface.

[0032] <Feature 4> The fixing member is characterized in that tension is generated by a string-like tension member (for example, mainly a rope 51) and a fixing metal fitting (for example, mainly a fixing metal fitting 53).

[0033] Due to the above features, the system is constructed using only the tension of the tension member, which reduces the installation work and the number of parts required.

[0034] <Feature 5> The partition structure is characterized by having a cutout portion (e.g., mainly the first cutout portion 23 and the second cutout portion 29) that fits into the upper part of the pillar member, and an upper rail member (e.g., mainly the upper rail 20) that ensures the horizontal strength of the partition structure.

[0035] The above features make it possible to further increase the horizontal strength with a small number of parts. [Industrial Applicability]

[0036] The present invention can be used not only in evacuation shelters, but also for events at exhibition halls, as outdoor windbreaks, or to form partitions or rooms when temporary installation is required in business meeting spaces. [Explanation of symbols]
