Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water blocking board devices that are installed at openings such as entrances and exits of buildings such as buildings and houses. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, waterproof board devices have been known that use waterproof boards to waterproof (watertight) openings such as entrances and other openings in order to prevent water that overflows outside the openings during heavy rainfall, floods, etc. from entering buildings such as buildings, houses, and parking lots through the openings. Such waterproof boards are removable and can be stored in a storage room such as a warehouse when not in use (during normal times), and can be taken out of the storage room and installed when flooding is predicted; alternatively, they can be stored underground at the opening during normal times, and can be lifted out from the basement and set up to waterproof when flooding is predicted. However, with the former type of waterproof board, moving it is troublesome and complicated, and with the latter type, there is the problem that the heavy waterproof boards need to be moved up and down, which is troublesome and complicated. Therefore, a waterproof board device has been proposed that uses a sliding door system in which the waterproof board slides left and right, making it easy to move the waterproof board between the stored position and the waterproof posture (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6289721 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the case of a waterproof board that uses the sliding door system, the waterproof board moves linearly from side to side. waterproofBecause the waterproof board moves between the open and closed positions, when the waterproof board is in the stored position, the storage space adjacent to the opening must be at least as wide as the left and right sides of the waterproof board.If such storage space cannot be secured, there is a problem that a sliding door type waterproof board cannot be installed, and these are the problems that this invention aims to solve. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present invention has been created in consideration of the above-mentioned actual situation and with the aim of solving these problems. The invention of claim 1 is a waterproof board device comprising a waterproof board for closing an opening such as a doorway, an opening rail facing left and right at the opening, and a storage section rail arranged at right angles to the front and rear direction with the base end portion of the opening rail as the corner portion, and the waterproof board is characterized in that the waterproof board device is configured so that the door-leading side running roller moves along the opening rail and the door-leading side running roller moves along the storage section rail, thereby moving between a closed position where the door-leading side running roller is located at the tip portion of the opening rail and the door-leading side running roller is located at the base end portion of the storage section rail to close the opening, and an open position where the door-leading side running roller is located at the base end portion of the opening rail and the door-leading side running roller is located at the tip portion of the storage section rail to open the opening. The invention of claim 2 is a water blocking board device according to the first aspect, characterized in that the lower edge of the water blocking board in the closed position is held down via a clamp that can be detachably attached to the floor. The invention of claim 3 is characterized in that the left and right end edges of the water blocking board in the closed position are Crimping Fittings The waterproof board device according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the waterproof board device is pressed against a sealing material provided on the main body side via a sealing material. The invention of claim 4 is a water blocking board device according to any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the opening rail is detachably attached to the main body via a fastener. The invention of claim 5 is characterized in that the removed opening rail is temporarily placed on the storage rail. Claim 4 is a waterproof board device. The invention of claim 6 is a waterproof board device as described in claim 5, characterized in that the opening rail and the storage section rail are square-shaped, and the removed opening rail is temporarily placed in an inverted state on the storage section rail in the shape of a square tube. Effect of the Invention

[0006] By using the invention as claimed in claim 1, the waterproof board for preventing water from entering during a flood can be stored in a storage rail that is arranged at right angles in the front-to-back direction with the base end portion of the opening rail as the corner portion when stored, which means that it is possible to store it compactly without having to secure a wide storage space in the left-to-right direction. By adopting the invention of claim 2, the lower edge of the waterproof board when in the closed position is held down by a clamp that is removably attached to the floor, thereby preventing the waterproof board from swinging inadvertently. According to the invention of claim 3, the left and right end edges of the water blocking board in the closed position are Crimping Fittings This allows the film to be pressed against the sealing material on the main body, thereby improving waterproofing performance. By making use of the invention as claimed in claim 4, the opening rail can be freely attached and detached, so that even if the opening rail is placed at a low position that would hinder entry and exit through the opening, it can be removed at all times so that it does not hinder entry and exit. By adopting the invention of claim 5, the removed opening rail can be temporarily placed on the storage rail, eliminating the need to store the opening rail in a storage room such as a warehouse. By adopting the invention of claim 6, the temporarily placed opening rail forms a square tube between itself and the storage rail, so that the inside of the square tube can be used as storage space for accessories such as fasteners, eliminating the need to store the accessories in a storage room such as a warehouse.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a waterproof board device installed at an opening E such as an entrance or exit, which is sandwiched on the left and right by a waterproof body X such as a fence or wall that is provided to prevent water from entering. The waterproof board device 1 is configured with an opening rail 3 detachably provided between vertical pillars (gateposts, vertical frames) 2 arranged on the left and right sides of the opening E, a storage section rail 5 detachably attached to a side wall (horizontal wall, horizontal fence) 4 in a state in which a base end 3e portion of the opening rail 3 is used as a corner C and is extended at a right angle toward the outside of the opening, facing in the front-rear direction, and a waterproof board 6 that is guided by the rails 3 and 5 to open and close the opening E. In the above embodiment, the side wall portion 4 extends from the opening E toward the outside of the opening, but this is not limited to this and it is of course possible for the side wall portion 4 to extend inward.

[0009] Both rails 3, 5 have the same shape with a J-shaped cross section, with horizontal running surface portions 3a, 5a along which running rollers 7 provided on a waterproof board 6 described later run (roll), and first and second side surface portions 3b, 3c, 5b, 5c which are vertical and stand upright from both widthwise edges of the running surface portions 3a, 5a, but the first side surface portions 3b, 5b extend upwardly in a taller manner than the second side surface portions 3c, 5c. The opening rail 3 has a first side portion 3b which is removably attached to the vertical column portion 2 via a fastening device, a bolt 3d, and the storage section rail 5 has a first side portion 5b which is removably attached to the side wall portion 4 via a bolt 5d. However, the attachment positions using these bolts 3d, 5d are set to be higher than the upper ends of the running rollers 7 which will be described later, so as not to interfere with (hinder) the movement of the running rollers 7.

[0010] Furthermore, the base ends 3e, 5e of both rails 3, 5 are connected in series at the corner portion C, but in this embodiment, the edge of the storage section rail base end 5e abuts (or closely faces) the vertical column portion 2, while the edge of the opening rail base end 3e abuts against the edge of the second side surface portion 5c of the storage section rail base end 5e. In this case, the second side surface portion 5c of the storage section rail base end 5e at the portion where the opening rail 3 abuts is cut out, so that the running surfaces 3a, 5a of both rails 3, 5 are connected flush with each other at the corner portion C. Incidentally, the connection between the base ends 3e, 5e of both rails 3, 5 may be configured in such a way that the opening rail base end 3e abuts (or closely faces) the side wall portion 4, as opposed to that in the above-described embodiment, or further, the base ends 3e, 5e may be cut at a 45-degree angle and connected by butting the cut surfaces together.

[0011] On the other hand, the waterproof board 6 is large enough to cover the opening E between the left and right vertical pillar portions 2, and running rollers 7 are attached to the left and right upper edges of the waterproof board 6 via brackets 8. The running rollers 7 are running rollers 7x and 7y on the door leading and trailing sides, and the bracket 8 is provided with a support portion 8a that supports the base end of the rotating shaft 7a on which the running rollers 7 (7x, 7y) are rotatably supported so that the running rollers 7 (7x, 7y) can swing freely around the vertical axis.

[0012] When the waterproof board 6 is positioned on the storage section rail 5 side and in the open position (storage position) that opens the opening E, the door-leading side running roller 7x is positioned at the opening rail base end 3e on the corner section C side, and the door-trailing side running roller 7y is positioned at the storage section rail tip end 5f, and is in a stored position parallel to the wall surface of the side wall section 4. In contrast, when the waterproof board 6 is positioned on the opening rail 3 side and in the closed position to close the opening E, the door-end side running roller 7x is positioned at the opening rail tip 3f, and the door-end side running roller 7y is positioned at the storage section rail base end 5e on the corner section C side, in a closed posture to close the opening E.

[0013] To move the waterproof board 6 from the open position to the closed position, the waterproof board 6 is moved toward the tip 3f of the opening rail, causing the door-end side running roller 7x to move along the opening rail 3 from the base end 3e toward the tip 3f, and the door-end side running roller 7y to move from the tip 5f of the storage section rail toward the base end 5e.As a result, the waterproof board 6 moves from the stored position along the side wall 4 to an inclined position spanning between both rails 3, 5, and then moves to the closed position where it closes the opening E described above. On the other hand, to move the waterproof board 6 that is located in the closed position to the open position, the waterproof board 6 is moved toward the storage section rail tip 5e, and the waterproof board 6 moves in the opposite direction from the closed position to the open position.

[0014] As described above, when the waterproof board 6 is moved to the closed position, both left and right end edges are closely opposed to the vertical column portion 2, and in this state, by screwing the left and right end edges of the waterproof board 6 into the vertical column portion (main body side member) 2 through the crimping (pressing) bolts (crimping fittings) 9, both left and right end edges of the waterproof board 6 are pressed into contact (pressed) against the sealing material 2b provided around the opening portion. Furthermore, the lower edge of the waterproof board 6 that has been moved to the closed position is held down via a clamp 10 that is detachably attached to a mounting fixture (anchor bolt in this embodiment) 10a embedded in the floor F at a location outside the opening E beyond the shoe rail 2a. The waterproof board 6 thus positioned in the closed position is firmly attached in a waterproof state to the vertical column 2 and the floor F below it by the crimping bolt 9 and the clamp 10, thereby providing a high level of waterproofing. Incidentally, in this embodiment, when the water-proof board 6 is placed in the open position, the lower end portion of the water-proof board 6 can also be configured to be held down by a holding metal fitting 10.

[0015] In this case, during normal times when there is no risk of flooding, the waterproof board 6 can be set in the open position that opens the opening E and the opening rail 3 can be removed, allowing people to freely enter and exit the opening E without being hindered by the opening rail 3. In this embodiment, the following considerations have been given to the opening rail 3 that can be removed. As described above, when the waterproof board 6 is set in the open position, the door-end side running roller 7x is located at the base end 3e of the opening rail 3, and therefore, if the entire opening rail 3 is removed, when the waterproof board 6 is in the stored position, the door-end side running roller 7x will be suspended in mid-air without the opening rail 3. To avoid this, in this embodiment, the opening rail 3 is divided (separated, separated) into the base end 3e and the detachable side rail part 3g located on the tip side of the base end 3e. In other words, the base end 3e portion of the opening rail 3 is welded to the base end 5e of the storage section rail portion 5 to be integrated with the storage section rail 5, while the detachable side rail portion 3g is configured to be detachable via the bolt 3d. Incidentally, it goes without saying that the opening rail base end portion 3e may be configured so as to be detachable independently via a fastener such as a bolt without being welded to the storage section rail 5.

[0016] Next, the treatment of the removed detachable rail portion 3g will be described. First, the removed detachable rail portion 3g may be stored together with the removed bolt 3d in a separately provided storage room such as a warehouse or storeroom, but in this embodiment, it is configured so that it can be temporarily placed on the storage rail 5, so that it is not necessary to store it in the storage room. To achieve this, the tip 3f of the removed detachable side rail portion 3g is moved so that it is positioned toward the storage section rail base end portion 5e and is also turned upside down, so that the detachable side rail portion 3g becomes U-shaped with the running surface portion 3a positioned at the top, and in this state the first side portion 3b which is long in the vertical direction is positioned at the front side. In this inverted state, the first side portion 3b of the detachable rail portion 3g is placed on the second side portion 5c of the storage section rail, and the second side portion 3c is placed on the first side portion 5b of the storage section rail, so that the detachable rail portion 3g is temporarily placed (stacked) in the shape of a rectangular tube on the storage section rail 5. In this temporary position, the removed bolt 3d can be screwed from the bolt hole 3i of the first side portion 3b into the bolt hole 5g provided in the first side portion 5b of the storage section rail, thereby attaching and fixing the detachable side rail portion 3g of the temporarily placed opening rail 3 to the storage section rail 5.

[0017] In this embodiment, the detachable rail portion 3g is shorter than the storage section rail 5 by the amount corresponding to the absence of the base end portion 3e. Therefore, when the detachable rail portion 3g is temporarily placed as described above, the length of the storage section rail 5 is Tip 5f sideThe tip 3f of the detachable rail portion 3g is set to closely face the bearing portion 8b that supports the rotating shaft 7a of the trailing edge side running roller 7y located at the rear end, thereby restricting the bearing portion 8b of the trailing edge side running roller 7y from moving toward the opening E, thereby preventing the waterproof board 6 located in the open position from inadvertently moving toward the closed position. Incidentally, when the opening rail 3 is temporarily placed on the storage rail 5, it has a square cylindrical shape as mentioned above, and this hollow space can be configured to store accessories such as crimping bolts 9 and clamps 10 that need to be stored when the waterproof board 6 is set in the storage position and not in use, thereby eliminating the need to store these accessories in the storage room one by one.

[0018] In the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, in the event of an emergency when there is a risk of flooding, by setting the waterproof board 6 in the closed position, it is possible to prevent water from entering through the opening E. In this case, the waterproof board device 1 includes an opening rail 3 provided at the opening E, and a storage section rail 5 provided at a right angle to the front-to-back direction with the base end 3e portion of the opening rail 3 as a corner portion C. Of the running rollers 7 provided on the upper edge of the waterproof board 6, the leading-edge running roller 7x moves along the opening rail 3, and the trailing-edge running roller 7y moves along the storage section rail 5, so that the waterproof board 6 moves between a closed position in which it closes the opening E and an open position in which it opens the opening E and assumes a stored position. When the waterproof board 6 is in the stored position, it can be stored in the storage section rail 5 provided at a right angle to the front-to-back direction with the base end 3e portion of the opening rail 3 as a corner portion C, so there is no need to ensure a wide storage space in the left-to-right direction and it can be stored compactly.

[0019] Moreover, in this case, the waterproof board 6 in the closed position is configured so that its lower edge is held down via a clamp 10 that can be detachably attached to the floor, so that it is possible to prevent the waterproof board 6 in the closed position from accidentally swinging and losing its waterproof function. Furthermore, in this case, the left and right edge portions of the waterproof board 6 located in the closed position are crimped to the sealing material 2b on the building body side via the crimping bolts 9, thereby further improving the waterproof performance. 。

[0020] In this way, the waterproof board 6 can be stored compactly and exhibits high waterproof performance, and the opening rail 3 provided at the opening E is configured to be freely attached and detached via bolts 3d. As a result, when there is no risk of flooding, it can be removed from the opening E without interfering with entry and exit through the opening E. However, the removed opening rail 3 can be temporarily placed on the storage section rail 5, so there is no need to store the opening rail in a storage room such as a warehouse or storeroom. The temporarily placed opening rail 3 forms a square tube between the storage rail 5 and the opening rail 3, and the inside of the square tube can be used as a storage space for accessories such as screws, improving convenience. [Industrial Applicability]

[0021] The present invention can be used as a waterproof board device that can be installed at an opening such as an entrance or exit of a building, such as a building or a house. [Explanation of symbols]
