Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, recently, due to the occurrence of concentrated rainfall such as guerrilla heavy rain, it is preferable to secure a large cross-sectional area of the rain gutter frame in order to prevent the situation where water overflows from the rain gutter frame. When the depth of the rain gutter frame is increased to secure the cross-sectional area, it will protrude downward from the roof body, which is not necessarily preferable in terms of appearance quality. On the other hand, when the width of the rain gutter frame is increased to secure the cross-sectional area, there is a concern that it may be deformed by the weight of the received water or the weight of snow during snow accumulation, and the drainage performance may be impaired.

[0005] In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a roof structure that can secure a large cross-sectional area of the rain gutter frame without impairing the appearance quality and drainage performance. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To achieve the above objective, the roof structure according to the present invention is a roof structure in which a rain gutter frame is provided on the edge of the roof body, wherein one side edge of the rain gutter frame is attached to the underside of the roof body and the other side edge extends beyond the edge of the roof body, and a restricting member is provided between the roof body and the other side edge of the rain gutter frame to connect them to each other. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, since the edge of the roof body and the other edge of the gutter frame are connected by a regulating member, it is possible to prevent the gutter frame from deforming due to the weight of the water it receives or the weight of snow during snowfall, even when the width of the gutter frame is increased. As a result, it is possible to secure a larger cross-sectional area of ​​the gutter frame without compromising drainage or appearance quality, and to prevent water from overflowing from the gutter frame even during heavy rainfall.

[0009] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the roof structure according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0010] Figures 1 to 4 show an outdoor structure to which a roof structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied. The outdoor structure illustrated here is a carport with a rectangular outer shape, intended for installation in a flat parking space, and is composed of left and right front columns 10A, left and right rear columns 10B, left and right beams 20, multiple purlins 30, and a roof body 40.

[0011] The front columns 10A and rear columns 10B are extruded profiles formed from a metal such as an aluminum alloy, and are erected vertically on both sides of the parking space, in the front and rear sections, respectively. In this embodiment, the front columns 10A and rear columns 10B have the same cross-sectional shape. The spacing between the front columns 10A is the same as the spacing between the rear columns 10B. The projection dimension from the ground is set so that the rear columns 10B are lower than that of the front columns 10A. The projection dimensions of the two front columns 10A are equal to each other, and the projection dimensions of the two rear columns 10B are equal to each other.

[0012] The beam 20 is an extruded profile formed from a metal such as an aluminum alloy, and is configured to have a symmetrical shape on the left and right sides. In this embodiment, the beam 20 is composed of a beam body 21, a purlin connecting part 22, an outward extension part 23, and an inward extension part 24. The beam body 21 and the purlin connecting part 22 each have a rectangular cylindrical cross-section. The beam body 21 has a horizontally elongated rectangular cross-section, with a width along the left and right sides that is approximately equal to the width along the left and right sides of the front column 10A, and a height dimension that is smaller than the width dimension. The purlin connecting part 22 has a vertically elongated rectangular cross-section, with a width along the left and right sides that is smaller than the width along the left and right sides of the front column 10A, and a height dimension that is larger than the width dimension. In the illustrated example, the purlin connection section 22 is provided on the upper part of the beam body 21 such that the inner surface 22a of the purlin connection section 22 lies on the same plane as the inner surface 21a of the beam body 21. The outward extension section 23 and the inward extension section 24 extend almost horizontally from the lower parts on both sides of the beam body 21 in directions away from each other, and then extend almost vertically upward. The lower surfaces of the outward extension section 23 and the inward extension section 24 are continuous with the lower surface of the beam body 21 and are located on the same plane as the lower surface of the beam body 21. The upward extension dimensions of the outward extension section 23 and the inward extension section 24 are approximately equal to the height dimension of the beam body 21. The outward extension dimension of the outward extension section 23 is approximately equal to the inward extension dimension of the inward extension section 24. The outward extension 23 is provided with a side frame connecting piece 23a on the upwardly extending portion, and the inward extension 24 is provided with a roof connecting piece 24a on the upwardly extending portion. The side frame connecting piece 23a extends almost horizontally inward from the upper edge of the outward extension 23. The roof connecting piece 24a extends almost horizontally inward from the upper edge of the inward extension 24. The dimensions of the beam body 21, outward extension 23, and inward extension 24 along their longitudinal axis are approximately the same as the dimensions along the front and rear of the roof body 40, while the dimensions of the purlin connecting piece 22 along its longitudinal axis are smaller than the dimensions along the front and rear of the roof body 40, and larger than the distance between the front column 10A and the rear column 10B. The rear end of the beam body 21 and the rear end of the purlin connecting piece 22 lie on the same plane. Caps 22b are attached to both the front and rear ends of the main building connection section 22.

[0013] This beam 20 is attached to the portion extending from the upper end of the front column 10A to the upper end of the rear column 10B in a state where the inner surface 21a of the beam main body 21 is on the same plane as the inner surface 10Aa of the front column 10A and the inner surface 10Ba of the rear column 10B. The beam 20 provided between the front column 10A and the rear column 10B is inclined so as to gradually descend rearward, the front end of the attic connecting portion 22 protrudes forward of the front column 10A, and the rear end of the attic connecting portion 22 protrudes rearward of the rear column 10B.

[0014] The attic 30 is an extruded shape formed of a metal such as an aluminum alloy, and has an attic base portion 31 having a rectangular cross-sectional tubular shape and roof support fin portions 32 extending from the lower edge portion of the attic base portion 31 to both sides. In the illustrated example, when placed on the inner extension portion 24 of the beam 20 via the roof support fin portion 32, the height of the attic 30 is set to be substantially the same as that of the attic connecting portion 22. This attic 30 is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the beam 20, and a plurality of them are arranged side by side between the left and right beams 20 with their respective ends placed on the upper surface of the inner extension portion 24.

[0015] The roof body 40 is configured in a panel shape by arranging a plurality of roof materials 41 side by side, and is supported on the lower surface of the attic 30 in a state where the longitudinal direction of the roof material 41 is along the longitudinal direction of the beam 20. Each roof material 41 is an extruded shape formed of a metal such as an aluminum alloy. The roof material 41 applied in the present embodiment has a roof base plate portion 41a formed in a flat plate shape, vertical plate portions 41b extending upward from both side edge portions of the roof base plate portion 41a, and joint plate portions 41c extending by bending from the upper edge of the vertical plate portions 41b, and can be connected to each other via the joint plate portions 41c. The protruding dimension of the vertical plate portion 41b upward is substantially equal to the dimension of the portion extending upward of the inner extension portion 24. This roof body 40 is supported on the attic 30 by screwing a screw member 41d to the joint plate portion 41c via the roof support fin portion 32 with the joint plate portion 41c abutted against the lower surface of the attic 30. The roof body 40 supported on the attic 30 is inclined so as to gradually descend rearward, similar to the beam 20.

[0016] Furthermore, the roof body 40 is provided with a front frame 43 at its front edge and side frames 44 at each of its side edges. The rear edge of the roof body 40 is provided with a rain gutter frame 50 and a rear frame 45 along its entire length. The front frame 43, side frames 44, rain gutter frame 50, and rear frame 45 are extruded profiles formed from metal such as aluminum alloy. The rain gutter frame 50 has a gutter base portion 50a, a front plate portion 50b, and a rear plate portion 50c. The gutter base portion 50a is a flat plate that extends almost horizontally. The front plate portion 50b extends upward from the front edge of the gutter base portion 50a. The upper edge of the front plate portion 50b is provided with a mounting plate portion 50d that extends towards the rear. The rear plate portion 50c extends upward from the rear edge of the gutter base portion 50a. A support plate portion (support piece) 50e extending forward is provided on the upper edge of the rear plate portion 50c. As is clear from the figure, the width of the gutter base portion 50a along the front and rear is set to be larger than the upward extension dimensions of the front plate portion 50b and the rear plate portion 50c. The upward extension dimension of the rear plate portion 50c is set to be larger than that of the front plate portion 50b. More specifically, when the mounting plate portion 50d of the front plate portion 50b is brought into contact with the lower surface of the roof body 40, the extension dimension of the rear plate portion 50c is set so that the support plate portion 50e of the rear plate portion 50c is positioned approximately on the extension of the joint plate portion 41c of the roof material 41. Although not explicitly shown in the figure, drainage portions 50f for draining water to the downpipe 11 provided on the rear column 10B are provided at both the left and right ends of the gutter base portion 50a. End caps 50g are attached to both ends of the rain gutter frame 50. The rear frame 45 is attached so as to overlap the outer surface of the rear plate portion 50c and the upper surface of the support plate portion 50e of the rain gutter frame 50.

[0017] This rain gutter frame 50 is supported by the roof body 40 and the beam 20 by screwing a screw member 50h in a state where the mounting plate portion 50d of the front plate portion 50b is abutted against the lower surface of the roof body 40 and the lower surface of the beam 20. Further, a plurality of restricting members 51 are provided between the roof body 40 and the rain gutter frame 50. The restricting member 51 is a crank-shaped flat plate member in which each extending end portion is stepped down after extending rearward from the joining plate portion 41c. The restricting member 51 is provided with a screw insertion hole (first mounting hole) 51a at the front end portion and a screw hole (second mounting hole) 51b at the rear end portion. This restricting member 51 screws a screw member 52 into a screw hole (third mounting hole) 41e provided in the joining plate portion 41c of the roof material 41 through the screw insertion hole 51a, and also screws a screw member 53 into the screw hole 51b at the rear end portion through a screw insertion hole (fourth mounting hole) 50i provided in the support plate portion 50e of the rain gutter frame 50, thereby connecting the roof body 40 and the rain gutter frame 50 to each other. As shown in the figure, the pitch p1 between the screw insertion hole 51a and the screw hole 51b provided in the restricting member 51 is set shorter than the pitch p2 from the screw hole 41e of the roof material 41 to the screw insertion hole 50i of the rain gutter frame 50. Further, the screw hole 41e provided in the joining plate portion 41c is provided in the upper region with respect to the gutter substrate portion 50a of the rain gutter frame

[0018] In a carport configured with the rain gutter frame 50 as described above, the extended dimension of the front plate portion 50b, which is the attachment point to the roof body 40, is smaller than that of the gutter base portion 50a. Therefore, when installing a rain gutter frame 50 with the same cross-sectional area, it is possible to keep the protrusion dimension from the underside of the roof body 40 small, preventing any deterioration in appearance quality. Moreover, the roof body 40 and the support plate portion 50e of the rain gutter frame 50 are connected by a regulating member 51. As a result, even when the width of the gutter base portion 50a is increased to secure a larger cross-sectional area of ​​the rain gutter frame 50 in order to prevent water from overflowing from the rain gutter frame 50 during heavy rainfall, it is possible to prevent the rain gutter frame 50 from deforming due to the weight of the water it receives or the weight of snow during snowfall, and ensure reliable drainage through the drainage portions 50f provided at both ends. Furthermore, as shown in the figure, when installing the rain gutter frame, if the restricting member 51 is attached to the roof body 40 in advance, the rain gutter frame 50 can be supported by the restricting member 51 via the support plate portion 50e, thereby simplifying the installation work of the rain gutter frame 50.

[0019] In the above-described embodiment, since the restricting member 51 is attached to the joint plate portion 41c, which is at a high position on the roofing material 41, there is no risk of rainwater or other water received by the roof base portion 41a of the roofing material 41 reaching the attachment point with the restricting member 51. Even if water does reach the joint plate portion 41c, the area below the screw hole 41e is covered by the gutter base portion 50a of the gutter frame 50, so there is no risk of water dripping from the roof body 40 onto the parking space. Moreover, since the screw members 52 and 53 can be screwed in by operation from above, there is also an advantage in terms of workability. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and as shown in Modification 1 in Figure 8 and Modification 2 in Figure 10, the restricting member may be attached to a part of the roofing material 41 other than the joint plate portion 41c.

[0020] In other words, in the modified example 1 shown in Figure 8, a restricting member 151 is provided between the vertical plate portion 41b of the roofing material 41 and the rear plate portion 50c of the rain gutter frame 50. As shown in Figure 9, the restricting member 151 has a flat restricting base portion 151a, a vertical plate mounting portion 151b extending upward from one side edge of the restricting base portion 151a, and a gutter mounting portion 151c extending upward from the other end of the restricting base portion 151a. The vertical plate mounting portion 151b is provided with a screw insertion hole (first mounting hole) 151d, and the gutter mounting portion 151c is provided with a screw hole (second mounting hole) 151e. This restricting member 151 connects the roof body 40 and the rain gutter frame 50 by screwing a screw member 152 into a screw hole (third mounting hole) 41f provided in the vertical plate portion 41b of the roof material 41 via a screw insertion hole 151d, and by screwing a screw member 153 into a screw hole 151e at the rear end via a screw insertion hole (fourth mounting hole) 50j provided in the rear plate portion 50c of the rain gutter frame 50. Although not explicitly shown in the figure, in the modified example 1, the distance from the screw insertion hole 151d provided in the vertical plate mounting portion 151b to the outer surface of the gutter mounting portion 151c is set to be shorter than the distance from the screw hole 41f of the roof material 41 to the inner surface of the rear plate portion 50c. The screw hole 41f provided in the vertical plate portion 41b is also provided in the upper area relative to the gutter base plate portion 50a of the rain gutter frame 50, as in the embodiment. Furthermore, components similar to those in other embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0021] Even in a carport configured with the rain gutter frame 50 as described above, the extended dimension of the front plate portion 50b, which is the attachment point to the roof body 40, is smaller than that of the gutter base portion 50a. Therefore, when providing a rain gutter frame 50 with the same cross-sectional area, the protrusion dimension from the underside of the roof body 40 can be kept small, preventing any deterioration in appearance quality. Moreover, since the roof body 40 and the rear plate portion 50c of the rain gutter frame 50 are connected by the restricting member 151, even if the width of the gutter base portion 50a is increased to secure a larger cross-sectional area of ​​the rain gutter frame 50, it is possible to prevent the rain gutter frame 50 from deforming due to the weight of the water it receives, and there is no concern about impairing drainage through the drainage portions 50f provided at both ends.

[0022] On the other hand, in the modified example 2 shown in Figure 10, a restricting member 251 is provided between the vertical plate portion 41b of the roofing material 41 and the gutter base portion 50a of the gutter frame 50. As shown in Figure 11, the restricting member 251 has a flat restricting base portion 521a and a gutter mounting portion 251b extending upward from one end. A screw insertion hole (first mounting hole) 251c is provided at the other end of the restricting base portion 521a, and a screw hole (second mounting hole) 251d is provided at the gutter mounting portion 251b. The restricting member 251 connects the roof body 40 and the rain gutter frame 50 by screwing a screw member 50h into a screw hole (third mounting hole) 50k provided in the gutter base portion 50a of the roofing material 41 via a screw insertion hole 251c, and by screwing a screw member 252 into a screw hole 251d at the rear end via a screw insertion hole (fourth mounting hole) 50m provided in the rear plate portion 50c of the rain gutter frame 50. As is clear from the figure, the screw member 50h that is screwed into the screw hole 50k of the gutter base portion 50a via the screw insertion hole 251c is the same screw member 50h used to attach the mounting plate portion 50d of the rain gutter frame 50 to the roof body 40. In other words, the restricting member 251 and the rain gutter frame 50 are fastened together to the roof body 40 by the screw member 50h. Although not explicitly shown in the figure, in Modification 2, the distance from the screw insertion hole 251c provided in the regulating base plate portion 521a to the outer surface of the gutter mounting portion 251b is set to be shorter than the distance from the screw hole 50k of the roofing material 41 to the inner surface of the rear plate portion 50c. The screw hole 50k provided in the gutter base plate portion 50a is also provided in the upper area of ​​the gutter base plate portion 50a of the rain gutter frame 50, as in the embodiment. Other components that are the same as in the embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0023] Even in a carport configured with the rain gutter frame 50 as described above, the extended dimension of the front plate portion 50b, which is the attachment point to the roof body 40, is smaller than that of the gutter base portion 50a. Therefore, when providing a rain gutter frame 50 with the same cross-sectional area, the protrusion dimension from the underside of the roof body 40 can be kept small, preventing any deterioration in appearance quality. Moreover, since the roof body 40 and the rear plate portion 50c of the rain gutter frame 50 are connected by the restricting member 251, even if the width of the gutter base portion 50a is increased to secure a larger cross-sectional area of ​​the rain gutter frame 50, it is possible to prevent the rain gutter frame 50 from deforming due to the weight of the water it receives, and there is no concern about impairing drainage through the drainage portions 50f provided at both ends.

[0024] In the above-described embodiment, a roof structure applicable to a carport is illustrated, but it can also be applied to roof structures of other outdoor structures such as terraces. Furthermore, although the roof body 40 is supported on the underside of the purlin 30, which is the roof support material, the roof body 40 may also be supported on the upper side of the purlin 30. Moreover, the roof support material does not necessarily have to be a purlin; the roof material may be supported by a beam supported by a column. The beam 20 does not necessarily have to have multiple hollow sections. The roof body 40 does not necessarily have to be constructed by arranging multiple roof materials 41 side by side. The cross-sectional shape of the rain gutter frame 50 is not limited to having a gutter base section 50a, a front plate section 50b, and a rear plate section 50c.

[0025] Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, screw insertion holes 50i, 50j, and 50m are provided in the rain gutter frame 50, and screw holes 51b, 151e, and 251d are provided in the restricting members 51, 151, and 251. However, screw holes may be provided in the rain gutter frame and screw insertion holes in the restricting members to screw the screw members into. In other words, the restricting members may be arranged on the outer surface of the rain gutter frame.

[0026] As described above, the roof structure according to the present invention is a roof structure in which a rain gutter frame is provided on the edge of the roof body, wherein one edge of the rain gutter frame is attached to the underside of the roof body and the other edge extends beyond the edge of the roof body, and a regulating member is provided between the roof body and the other edge of the rain gutter frame to connect them to each other. According to this invention, since the edge of the roof body and the other edge of the gutter frame are connected by a regulating member, it is possible to prevent the gutter frame from deforming due to the weight of the water it receives or the weight of snow during snowfall, even when the width of the gutter frame is increased. As a result, it is possible to secure a larger cross-sectional area of ​​the gutter frame without compromising drainage or appearance quality, and to prevent water from overflowing from the gutter frame even during heavy rainfall.

[0027] Furthermore, the present invention is characterized in that, in the roof structure described above, the roof body is constructed by arranging a plurality of roofing materials side by side, each of the plurality of roofing materials has a roof base portion, vertical plate portions extending upward from both side edges of the roof base portion, and connecting plate portions bending and extending from the upper edge of the vertical plate portion, and the materials are connected to each other via the connecting plate portions, and the regulating member is provided to connect the connecting plate portions and the rain gutter frame. According to this invention, since a regulating member is provided on the joint plate located above the roofing material, it is advantageous in terms of watertightness even when the regulating member is attached with fasteners such as screws. Moreover, since the fastener can be attached to the joint plate by operation from above, it is also preferable in terms of workability.

[0028] Furthermore, the present invention is characterized in that, in the roof structure described above, the roof body is constructed by arranging a plurality of roofing materials side by side, each of the roofing materials having a roof base portion, vertical plate portions extending upward from both side edges of the roof base portion, and connecting plate portions bending and extending from the upper edge of the vertical plate portion, and being connected to each other via the connecting plate portions, and the regulating member is provided to connect the vertical plate portion and the rain gutter frame. According to this invention, since a regulating member is provided on the vertical board located above the roofing material, it is advantageous in terms of watertightness even when the regulating member is attached with fasteners such as screws.

[0029] Furthermore, the present invention is characterized in that, in the roof structure described above, the roof body is constructed by arranging a plurality of roofing materials side by side, each of the roofing materials having a roof base portion, vertical plate portions extending upward from both side edges of the roof base portion, and connecting plate portions bending and extending from the upper edge of the vertical plate portion, and being connected to each other via the connecting plate portions, and the regulating member is provided to connect the roof base portion and the rain gutter frame. According to this invention, fasteners such as screw members can be installed on the roof base plate by operation from above, which is advantageous in terms of workability.

[0030] Furthermore, in the roof structure described above, the regulating member has a first mounting hole at one end and a second mounting hole at the other end, and is attached between the roof and the gutter frame by providing fasteners at the first mounting hole and the third mounting hole of the roof body, and by providing fasteners at the second mounting hole and the fourth mounting hole of the gutter frame, wherein the pitch between the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole is set to be smaller than the pitch between the third mounting hole and the fourth mounting hole. According to this invention, the other edge of the rain gutter frame is pulled upward by the regulating member, making it possible to more reliably prevent deformation of the rain gutter frame.

[0031] Furthermore, the present invention is characterized in that, in the roof structure described above, a support piece extending toward the roof body is provided on the other side edge of the rain gutter frame, and the regulating member is attached to the rain gutter frame in contact with the lower surface of the support piece. According to this invention, the support piece can be hooked onto the regulating member, and by supporting the rain gutter frame on the regulating member, the work of installing the rain gutter frame can be made easier.
