Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a frame and a wall. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a wall called a glass facade, in which the outer wall of a building is covered with glass, has been known (for example, Patent Document 1). Such a wall includes, for example, glass and a frame that supports the edges of the glass, and is attached to the building by fixing the frame to an opening formed in the wall of the building.

[0003] The frame that supports the glass is formed, for example, by a connecting portion that is arranged on the outside of the glass and has a planar shape perpendicular to the glass, and flange portions that extend parallel to the glass from both ends of the connecting portion. When curved glass is used for the wall, the frame that supports the curved glass needs to have a curved shape that follows the curved shape of the glass. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-135003 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, when forming a curved frame, for example, it is necessary to use metal plates cut into a curved shape by laser processing to form the connecting parts, metal plates bent to fit the glass surface to form the flange parts, and then assemble these by welding, which is time-consuming.In addition, it is necessary to create a frame that matches the curved shape of the glass for each shape of glass, which may increase the time and cost required to manufacture the frame.

[0006] In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a frame and a wall that can efficiently support bent glass. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means. The frame body of the present invention is a frame body that supports glass that is curved in the indoor / outdoor direction, and comprises a frame main body that covers the end of the glass in the bending axis direction from both sides in the indoor / outdoor direction, and a support member that is arranged between the glass and the frame main body and supports the glass from both sides in the indoor / outdoor direction, wherein the curvature of the frame main body is smaller than the curvature of the glass, and the support member has a first surface that contacts the glass along the glass and a second surface that is arranged opposite the frame main body along the frame main body.

[0008] The wall of the present invention comprises the frame described above and the glass supported by the frame. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the frame and wall of the present invention, it is possible to provide a frame and wall that can efficiently support bent glass. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0012] Fig. 1 is a front view schematically showing a wall body 1 according to this embodiment, and Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II in Fig. 1.

[0013] The wall 1 includes glass 10, a first frame 20a, and a second frame 20b. The wall 1 is provided in an opening formed in a wall of a building, for example, and separates the interior and exterior of the building.

[0014] 1 and 2, the direction in which the first frame body 20a is provided relative to the glass 10 is defined as "upward UP," the direction in which the second frame body 20b is provided relative to the glass 10 is defined as "downward LO," and the direction connecting the upward UP and downward LO is defined as "vertical direction Z." In this embodiment, the vertical direction Z coincides with the vertical direction.

[0015] In addition, in the wall 1 attached to the building, the indoor side is defined as the "front (indoor side) FR," the outdoor side is defined as the "rear (outdoor side) RR," and the direction connecting the front FR and rear RR is defined as the "front-rear direction (indoor-outdoor direction) Y." In this embodiment, the up-down direction Z and the front-rear direction Y are perpendicular to each other.

[0016] Furthermore, the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction Z and the front-rear direction Y is defined as the "width direction X," one side in the width direction X is defined as the "left side LT," and the other side in the width direction X is defined as the "right side RT."

[0017] The glass 10 is, for example, bent glass made by bending a transparent or translucent sheet glass. The glass 10 may be a single pane of glass made of one sheet of glass, or may be a double pane of glass made of two or more sheets of glass.

[0018] 2, the glass sheet 10 is curved in the front-rear direction Y. In this embodiment, the direction in which the bending axis of the glass sheet 10 extends coincides with the up-down direction Z.

[0019] The bending axis of the glass sheet 10 refers to an axis extending parallel to the ridge line along the vertex 10t of the glass sheet 10 curved in the front-to-rear direction Y. The vertex 10t of the glass sheet 10 refers to the most protruding part of the glass sheet 10 in the front-to-rear direction Y.

[0020] In the following description, the vertical direction Z is also referred to as the "bending axis direction of the glass sheet 10."

[0021] The first frame body 20a is a member that supports the upper end UP of the glass 10. The first frame body 20a is fixed, for example, near the ceiling of the building to which the wall body 1 is attached.

[0022] The second frame body 20b is a member that supports the end of the lower portion LO of the glass 10. The second frame body 20b is fixed, for example, near the floor surface of the building to which the wall body 1 is attached.

[0023] Both ends of the glass 10 in the width direction X are supported by frames (not shown) and fixed to an opening in a building. That is, the glass 10 is fixed to the opening in a building via a first frame 20a and a second frame 20b that support the ends in the up-down direction Z, and frame bodies (not shown) that support both ends in the width direction X.

[0024] In the following description, the first frame body 20a and the second frame body 20b will also be simply referred to as the frame body 20.

[0025] The frame body 20 (first frame body 20a and second frame body 20b) includes a frame main body 21, a support member 22, and a sealing material 23.

[0026] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the frame body 21 includes a connecting portion 21a and a flange portion 21b.

[0027] The connecting portion 21a is a flat plate-shaped member extending in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the vertical direction Z. The connecting portion 21a of the first frame body 20a covers the glass 10 from above UP. The connecting portion 21a of the second frame body 20b covers the glass 10 from below LO.

[0028] The flange portions 21b are flat plate-shaped members extending in the up-down direction Z from both ends of the connecting portion 21a in the front-rear direction Y. The flange portions 21b of the first frame body 20a extend downward LO from the ends of the connecting portion 21a. The flange portions 21b of the second frame body 20b extend upward UP from the ends of the connecting portion 21a.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 3, the frame body 21 is formed by two flange portions 21b provided on the front FR and rear RR of the glass 10, and a connecting portion 21a connecting the two flange portions 21b in the front-rear direction Y.

[0030] The two flange portions 21b cover both ends of the glass 10 in the up-down direction Z from the front FR and rear RR, respectively.

[0031] In a cross section parallel to the vertical direction Z and the front-to-rear direction Y, the frame body 21 of the first frame body 20a is U-shaped and opens downward LO, and the frame body 21 of the second frame body 20b is U-shaped and opens upward UP.

[0032] The upper UP and lower LO ends of the glass 10 are disposed inside the opening of the U-shaped frame body 21. The frame body 21 does not need to be strictly U-shaped.

[0033] In this embodiment, the frame main body 21 extends parallel to the width direction X, as shown in Fig. 2. In addition, in a plan view from the up-down direction Z, a tangent to the vertex 10t of the glass 10 extends parallel to the width direction X. That is, in this embodiment, the frame main body 21 extends parallel to a tangent to the vertex 10t of the glass 10 in a plan view from the up-down direction Z.

[0034] The glass pane 10 is curved in the front-rear direction Y, while the frame main body 21 extends parallel to the width direction X. That is, the curvature of the frame main body 21 is smaller than the curvature of the glass pane 10.

[0035] For example, when forming a frame body shaped to fit the curved surface of glass, it is necessary to assemble by welding a connecting portion cut into a curved shape by laser processing and a flange portion that has been bent.

[0036] In the frame body 20 of this embodiment, the curvature of the frame main body 21 is made smaller than the curvature of the glass 10, thereby preventing the shape of the frame main body 21 from becoming complex. Therefore, for example, the frame main body 21 can be formed by bending a single metal plate without performing an assembly process such as welding.

[0037] The frame body 21 may have a shape with a smaller curvature than the glass 10, for example, a shape that is slightly curved in the front-to-rear direction Y. Furthermore, the two flange portions 21b arranged on both sides of the glass 10 in the front-to-rear direction Y do not have to be arranged parallel to each other.

[0038] The dimension of the frame body 21 in the width direction X is equal to or slightly larger than the dimension of the glass pane 10 in the width direction X. In other words, the entire end of the glass pane 10 in the up-down direction (bending axis direction) Z is covered by the frame body 21 from both sides in the front-rear direction Y in the width direction X.

[0039] The support member 22 is provided between the glass 10 and the flange portion 21b of the frame main body 21 in the front-to-rear direction Y. The support member 22 has a first surface 22a that contacts the glass 10 in the front-to-rear direction Y, and a second surface 22b that is arranged opposite the flange portion 21b of the frame main body 21 in the front-to-rear direction Y.

[0040] 2, the first surface 22a of the support member 22 is a surface having a shape that follows the shape of the glass pane 10. The frame body 20 has a plurality of support members 22, and the plurality of support members 22 are provided on the front side FR and the rear side RR of the glass pane 10, respectively, as shown in FIG.

[0041] The glass 10 is sandwiched in the front-to-rear direction Y by first surfaces 22a of support members 22 provided on the front FR and rear RR of the glass 10. In other words, the support members 22 support the glass 10 from both sides in the front-to-rear direction Y.

[0042] 3, in the vertical direction Z, the lower end (end of the lower side LO) of the support member 22 is preferably positioned at the same position as the lower end of the flange portion 21b or above the lower end of the flange portion 21b. By preventing the support member 22 from protruding from the frame body 21, the aesthetic appearance of the wall body 1 can be improved.

[0043] Materials such as metal, hard rubber, or glass can be used for the support member 22. EPDM-S (ethylene propylene diene rubber, silicone-resistant type) can also be used as a material for the support member 22. It is preferable to use a hard material, for example, with a hardness of 60° or more, for the support member 22.

[0044] The support members 22 only need to support at least a portion of the glass pane 10 in the width direction X from both sides in the front-to-rear direction Y. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in this embodiment, the support members 22 are provided only on either the front side FR or the rear side RR of the glass pane 10 near the vertex 10t of the glass pane 10.

[0045] 2, in a portion where the vertex 10t of the glass 10 protrudes rearward RR, the support member 22 is not disposed at the rear RR of the glass 10. In addition, in a portion where the vertex 10t of the glass 10 protrudes forward FR, the support member 22 is not disposed at the front FR of the glass 10.

[0046] The dimension in the width direction X of the support member 22 is preferably at least 0.5 times the dimension in the width direction X of the glass pane 10. Here, the dimension in the width direction X of the support member 22 refers to the total value of the dimensions in the width direction X of each of the multiple support members 22 arranged at the front FR and rear RR of the glass pane 10, which support the glass pane 10 from the front FR or rear RR.

[0047] The frame 20 illustrated in Fig. 2 has two support members 22 arranged in front FR of the glass pane 10 and two support members 22 arranged in rear RR of the glass pane 10. That is, the frame 20 illustrated in Fig. 2 has four support members 22. The total dimension of the four support members 22 in the width direction X is preferably 0.5 times or more the dimension of the glass pane 10 in the width direction X.

[0048] By making the dimension of the support member 22 in the width direction X at least 0.5 times the dimension of the glass plate 10 in the width direction X, the support member 22 can adequately support the glass plate 10.

[0049] The sealing material 23 is a member that fills a gap in the front-rear direction Y between the glass 10 or the support member 22 and the frame main body 21.

[0050] Here, an example of an assembly method for attaching the wall body 1 to an opening in a building will be described.

[0051] First, the frame body 21 is fixed to the opening of the building. Next, the glass 10 to which the support members 22 are bonded is placed between the two flange portions 21b in the front-rear direction Y.

[0052] The support member 22 is adhered to the glass 10 in a factory, for example, and transported together with the glass 10 in an adhered state to an installation site (such as a building to which the wall body 1 is to be attached). At this time, the first surface 22a of the support member 22 is adhered to the glass 10.

[0053] Next, the sealant 23 is placed so as to fill the gap in the front-rear direction Y between the flange portions 21b and the glass 10 and the support member 22 that is placed between the two flange portions 21b.

[0054] For example, in the vicinity of the vertex 10t of the glass pane 10 shown in Figure 3, the support member 22 is not arranged at the rear RR of the glass pane 10. Therefore, the sealant 23 is provided between the glass pane 10 and the flange portion 21b in the front-rear direction Y.

[0055] 3, a support member 22 is disposed on the front FR of the glass 10 near the vertex 10t of the glass 10. Therefore, the sealing material 23 is provided between the support member 22 and the flange portion 21b in the front-rear direction Y.

[0056] 2, in a portion spaced apart in the width direction X from the vertex 10t of the glass pane 10, support members 22 are disposed on the front FR and rear RR of the glass pane 10. Therefore, at the front FR and rear RR of the glass pane 10, the sealing material 23 is provided between the support members 22 and the flange portion 21b.

[0057] By providing the sealing material 23 after placing the glass 10 and the support member 22 between the two flange portions 21b, the sealing material 23 can absorb dimensional variations of each component and variations during assembly, and the glass 10 can be securely fixed by the frame body 20.

[0058] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, by providing a gap S between the glass 10 and the support member 22 and the connecting portion 21a in the vertical direction Z, dimensional variations and assembly variations in the vertical direction Z can be absorbed, and the wall body 1 can be assembled stably.

[0059] The frame body 20 of this embodiment is a frame body that supports glass panes 10 curved in the indoor-outdoor direction Y, and includes a frame main body 21 that covers the ends of the glass panes 10 in the bending axis direction Z from both sides in the indoor-outdoor direction Y, and support members 22 that are provided between the glass panes 10 and the frame main body 21 and support the glass panes 10 from both sides in the indoor-outdoor direction Y. The curvature of the frame main body 21 is smaller than the curvature of the glass panes 10. The support members 22 have a first surface 22a that contacts the glass panes 10 along the frame main body 21, and a second surface 22b that is positioned along the frame main body 21 and faces the frame main body 21.

[0060] The wall 1 of this embodiment includes a frame 20 and glass 10 supported by the frame 20.

[0061] The frame 20 has support members 22 that support the curved glass 10 from both sides in the indoor-outdoor direction Y in the region between the two flange portions 21b arranged opposite each other in the indoor-outdoor direction Y.

[0062] Even if the curvature of the frame body 21 is smaller than that of the glass pane 10 and the flange portion 21b cannot directly support the glass pane 10 from both sides in the indoor / outdoor direction Y, the support member 22 can support the glass pane 10.

[0063] Therefore, according to the frame body 20 and wall body 1 of this embodiment, it is not necessary to create a frame body that matches the curved shape of the glass 10 for each shape of the curved glass 10, and it is possible to provide a frame body 20 and wall body 1 that can efficiently support bent glass (glass 10).

[0064] According to the frame 20 and wall 1 of this embodiment, the time and cost required to manufacture the frame 20 can be reduced compared to when a frame is manufactured to fit the curved shape of the glass pane 10 .

[0065] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and design modifications and the like are also included within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the components shown in the above-described embodiment and the following modified examples can be appropriately combined to form a configuration.

[0066] (Variation 1) In the above embodiment, the bending axis direction (vertical direction) Z of the glass 10 included in the wall body 1 coincides with the vertical direction, but the wall body is not limited to this. The wall bodies may be arranged so that the bending axis direction of the glass differs from the vertical direction.

[0067] (Variation 2) In the above embodiment, the support members 22 are not arranged in the direction in which the vertex 10t protrudes near the vertex 10t of the glass pane 10, but the form of the support members is not limited to this. Support members may be arranged on both sides of the glass pane in the front-to-rear direction Y near the vertex of the glass pane.

[0068] (Variation 3) In the above embodiment, the frame body 20 includes the sealant 23, but the form of the frame body is not limited to this. The frame body does not have to include the sealant 23. When the frame body does not include the sealant 23, for example, the glass or the support member is disposed in direct contact with the flange portion without the sealant 23 therebetween.

[0069] (Variation 4) In the above embodiment, the wall 1 is a wall provided in an opening formed in a wall of a building and separating the indoor and outdoor areas of the building, but the wall configuration is not limited thereto. The wall may be provided so that both the front FR and rear RR sides are located indoors, or so that both the front FR and rear RR sides are located outdoors.

[0070] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0071] Example 1 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the wall 1 of Example 1. The support member 22 of Example 1 supports all parts of the glass pane 10 in the width direction X on at least one of the front surface FR and the rear surface RR of the glass pane 10. The frame body 21 of Example 1 extends parallel to the width direction X.

[0072] Example 2 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the wall 1 of Example 2. The dimension of the support member 22 in the width direction X of Example 2 is the dimension of the glass pane 10 in the width direction X divided by 2. In other words, the dimension of the support member 22 in the width direction X is half the dimension of the glass pane 10. The frame body 21 of Example 2 extends parallel to the width direction X.

[0073] Example 3 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the wall 1 of Example 3. The dimension of the support member 22 in the width direction X of Example 3 is the dimension of the glass pane 10 in the width direction X divided by 3. That is, the dimension of the support member 22 in the width direction X is 1 / 3 of the dimension of the glass pane 10. The frame body 21 of Example 3 extends parallel to the width direction X.

[0074] Example 4 7 is a cross-sectional view showing the wall 1 of Example 4. The dimension of the support member 22 in the width direction X of Example 4 is the dimension of the glass pane 10 in the width direction X divided by 3. That is, the dimension of the support member 22 in the width direction X is 1 / 3 of the dimension of the glass pane 10. The frame body 21 of Example 4 extends parallel to the width direction X.

[0075] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the arrangement of the support members 22 in the third embodiment and the arrangement of the support members 22 in the fourth embodiment are different from each other.

[0076] (Comparative Example 1) Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing a wall body 1A of Comparative Example 1. Fig. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IX-IX in Fig. 8.

[0077] The wall body 1A of Comparative Example 1 includes a glass panel 10 and a frame body 20A. The frame body 20A includes a frame main body 21A having a connecting portion 21Aa and a flange portion 21Ab, and a sealing material 23A.

[0078] 8 and 9, the frame body 20A of Comparative Example 1 has a shape that follows the curved glass 10. That is, the curvature of the frame body 21A of Comparative Example 1 is approximately equal to the curvature of the glass 10.

[0079] The frame body 20A of Comparative Example 1 does not have the support member 22 of the above embodiment because the frame main body 21A has a shape that conforms to the glass 10. Therefore, the frame body 20A of Comparative Example 1 supports the glass 10 by the frame main body 21A and the sealing material 23A.

[0080] (Analysis conditions) FEM analysis was performed on the walls of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 1, and the maximum in-plane tensile stress and maximum glass displacement were compared. Here, the maximum in-plane tensile stress refers to the value of the maximum tensile stress generated within the plane of the glass 10. The maximum glass displacement refers to the maximum displacement of the glass 10.

[0081] The following analysis conditions were used in the FEM analysis.

[0082] The dimension of the glass 10 in the vertical direction Z was set to 3800 mm, and the dimension of the glass 10 in the width direction X was set to 2100 mm.

[0083] Frames (vertical frames) were installed at both ends of the glass pane 10 in the width direction X, and the ends of the glass pane 10 in the width direction X were fixed by the vertical frames. Both ends of the glass pane 10 in the up-down direction Z were fixed by frame bodies 20, 20A shown in Figures 4 to 9. In other words, the four sides of the glass pane 10 were fixed.

[0084] The material of the support member 22 was EPDM-S with a hardness of about 60°.

[0085] (Analysis results) 10 to 19 are diagrams showing the analysis results of the FEM analysis.

[0086] Fig. 10 is a diagram showing the tensile stress generated in the wall body 1 of Example 1. Fig. 11 is a diagram showing the glass displacement of the wall body 1 of Example 1.

[0087] Fig. 12 is a diagram showing the tensile stress generated in the wall body 1 of Example 2. Fig. 13 is a diagram showing the glass displacement of the wall body 1 of Example 2.

[0088] Fig. 14 is a diagram showing the tensile stress generated in the wall body 1 of Example 3. Fig. 15 is a diagram showing the glass displacement in the wall body 1 of Example 3.

[0089] Fig. 16 is a diagram showing the tensile stress generated in the wall body 1 of Example 4. Fig. 17 is a diagram showing the glass displacement in the wall body 1 of Example 4.

[0090] Fig. 18 is a diagram showing the tensile stress generated in the wall body 1A of Comparative Example 1. Fig. 19 is a diagram showing the glass displacement in the wall body 1A of Comparative Example 1.

[0091] The results of the FEM analysis are shown in Table 1.

[0092] In the wall 1 of Example 1-2, in which the dimension of the support member 22 in the width direction X was 0.5 times or more the dimension of the glass pane 10, the maximum displacement of the glass pane 10 was approximately the same as that of Comparative Example 1.

[0093] In the wall 1 of Example 3-4, in which the dimension of the support member 22 in the width direction X was less than 0.5 times the dimension of the glass pane 10, the maximum displacement of the glass pane 10 was larger than that of Comparative Example 1.

[0094] In other words, by making the dimensions of the support member 22 in the width direction X at least 0.5 times the dimensions of the glass 10, the glass 10 can be more reliably supported even if the curvature of the frame body 21 is smaller than the curvature of the glass 10, and the maximum displacement of the glass can be kept approximately the same as that of the wall body 1A of Comparative Example 1, in which the frame body 21A has a curved shape that follows the glass 10.

[0096] The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 international goals adopted at the United Nations Summit in September 2015. The frame 20 and wall 1 according to this embodiment can contribute to achieving one of the 17 SDGs, for example, goal 9, "Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation."
