[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2017-44055 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] As shown in Patent Document 1, if the wall surface of the sanitary room is flat in the vertical direction, a rectangular wall frame can be used to support a rectangular wall panel as described above. That is, the wall frame has left and right vertical frames, an upper frame, and a lower frame, and can firmly support both side edges and the top and bottom edges of the wall panel. However, the walls of sanitary rooms may have uneven surfaces in the vertical direction due to pipe storage areas, beams, etc. In such cases, the wall frame cannot be arranged with a vertical frame on the uneven wall side, resulting in a U-shape, and the wall panel is supported only by the side edge on the opposite side to the wall and the top and bottom edges, making the support unstable. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a partition device that separates the boundary between a bathroom in a sanitary room and an adjacent room and has a door section and a partition wall section on the left and right sides, The wall surface of the sanitary room has a convex portion and a concave portion along the vertical direction, the partition wall portion includes a wall panel and a support means for supporting the wall panel, the support means having a vertical frame supporting the side edge of the wall panel opposite the wall surface, and upper and lower frames supporting the upper and lower edges of the wall panel, respectively, and a vertical frame structure installed on the wall surface at the concave portion, and the side edge of the wall panel facing the wall surface is supported by the vertical frame structure. According to the above configuration, the wall panel is supported not only at the top and bottom edges and the side edge opposite the wall surface, but also at the side edge facing the wall surface by the vertical frame structure, thereby increasing the supporting strength of the wall panel.
[0006] Preferably, the vertical frame structure has a wall side fixing portion fixed to the wall surface and a vertical frame portion supporting the side edge of the wall panel on the wall surface side, and the wall side fixing portion and the vertical frame portion have connecting plate portions extending along the boundary and connected to each other in a contacting state. According to the above configuration, the vertical frame portion can be disposed at a desired position by changing the connecting position between the wall-side fixing portion and the connecting plate portion of the vertical frame portion.
[0007] Preferably, the wall panel has a notch corresponding to the protrusion of the wall surface, and a side edge of the wall surface fits into the recess. According to the above configuration, when the recess in the wall surface is deep, the side edge of the wall panel on the wall surface side fits into the recess, so that the width of the vertical frame structure does not need to be excessively widened.
[0008] Preferably, a gap between the wall of the unit bath installed in the bathroom on the adjacent room side and the wall panel is filled with a heat insulating material that insulates between the gap and the cutout portion. According to the above configuration, air circulation caused by the cutout portion is suppressed, thereby achieving high thermal insulation.
[0009] Preferably, a gap formed between an edge of the cutout portion and the protrusion is filled with a cover material. According to the above configuration, it is possible to prevent the appearance from being deteriorated due to the cutout portion. Effect of the Invention
[0010] According to the present invention, the wall panel of the partition wall portion of the partition device can be stably supported. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0012] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figures 1 and 2 show a sanitary room in a concrete apartment building. In this embodiment, a beam 1 runs through the corner of the sanitary room between the bathroom and the dressing room (an adjacent room), and a storage section 2 for storing piping and the like is installed in the structural wall on the dressing room side. As a result, the wall surface 3 of the sanitary room is not flat in the vertical direction at the boundary between the bathroom and the dressing room, but has an uneven shape. Hereinafter, the beam 1 and storage section 2 will be referred to simply as the convex part of the wall surface 3, and the space between the beam 1 and storage section 2 will be referred to as the concave part 4 of the wall surface.
[0013] The partition device 5 that separates the bathroom from the dressing room comprises an upper frame 6, a door section 7 arranged below the upper frame 6 on the opposite side of the wall surface 3, and a partition wall section 8 arranged on the wall surface 3 side. The door section 7 has a vertically long rectangular door frame 7a and a door 7b that opens and closes the entrance defined by the door frame 7a. The door frame 7a is arranged between a mullion 9a arranged on the opposite side of the wall surface 3 and a mullion 9b arranged in the middle of the partition device 5, and is supported by the mullions 9a, 9b and the upper frame 6.
[0014] The partition wall portion 8 includes a wall frame 10, a vertical frame structure 20, and a wall panel 30. The wall frame 10 and the vertical frame structure 20 constitute a support means S for supporting the wall panel 30. The wall frame 10 is U-shaped and has a vertical frame 11 supported by the uprights 9a, an upper frame 12 supported by the upper frame 6, and a lower frame 13 supported by a lower frame (not shown) on the floor side.
[0015] The vertical frame structure 20 is installed on the wall surface 3 in the recess 4, and stands vertically with a length equal to the height of the recess 4. The vertical frame structure 20 is made of six extruded members, and has a wall-side fixing portion 20A and a vertical frame portion 20B, which will be described in detail below.
[0016] The wall-side fixing part 20A includes a fixing member 21 and a first connecting member 22. The fixing member 21 has a rectangular base 21a fixed to the wall surface 3, and a plate portion 21b extending from the surface of the base 21a facing the dressing room in the opposite direction to the wall surface 3 along the boundary between the bathroom and the dressing room. One end of the first connecting member 22 is fixed to the surface of the base 21a facing the bathroom, and the first connecting member 22 has a connecting plate portion 22a extending in the opposite direction to the wall surface 3 along the boundary.
[0017] The vertical frame portion 20B includes a frame body 23, a pressing member 24, a second connecting member 25, and a cover member . The frame body 23 is disposed away from the wall surface 3 and has a rectangular base 23a and a plate portion 23b extending from the base 23a in a direction perpendicular to the wall panel 30 toward the dressing room. The pressing member 24 is fixed to the base 23a of the frame body 23 and faces the plate portion 23b, and a receiving groove 27 is formed between them. The receiving groove 27 is a groove for receiving a claw 35 of the wall panel 30 described later, and narrows toward the dressing room. One end of a second connecting member 25 having an L-shaped cross section is connected to the base 23a. The second connecting member 25 has a connecting plate portion 25a extending in a direction away from the wall surface 3 along the bathroom side of the base 21.
[0018] The connecting plate portions 22a, 25a of the first and second connecting members 22, 25 are connected in a state of contact with each other, so that the vertical frame portion 20B is supported on the wall surface 3 via the wall-side fixing portion 20A. By changing the connecting positions of the connecting plate portions 22a, 25a, the distance of the vertical frame portion 20B from the wall surface 3 can be adjusted.
[0019] The cover member 26 has an L-shaped cross section, one end of which is fixed to the plate portion 21b of the frame body 21, and has a cover plate portion 26a extending toward the wall surface 3. This cover plate portion 26a is overlapped on the dressing room side of the plate portion 21b of the fixing member 21, and hides the inside of the vertical frame structure 20. A sealant 28 is interposed between the plate portion 21b and the cover plate portion 26a.
[0020] As shown in FIG. 4, the wall panel 30 has a panel body 31 made of a metal plate or the like, and elastic claws 35 (shown only in FIG. 3) provided on the periphery of the panel body 31. As shown in FIG. 1, the panel body 31 has a vertically long rectangular shape as a basic shape, and has cutouts 32 and 33 corresponding to the protrusions 1 and 2 of the wall surface 3. The panel body 31 has the above-mentioned claws 35 on the bathroom side of the side edge 31a away from the wall surface 3, the upper edge 31b, the lower edge 31c, and the side edge 31d on the wall surface 3 side (the side edge that remains uncut). The claws 35 are not provided on the edges of the cutouts 32 and 33. The side edge 31d fits into the recess 4.
[0021] The wall panel 30 is attached by fitting the claws 35 on the side edge 31a, upper edge 31b, and lower edge 31b into receiving grooves (not shown, but having a structure similar to the receiving groove 27 of the vertical frame portion 20B of the vertical frame structure 20) formed in the vertical frame 11, upper frame 12, and lower frame 13 of the wall frame 10, and by fitting the claws 35 on the side edge 31d into the receiving groove 27 of the vertical frame structure 20.
[0022] The wall panel 30 is supported not only by its upper and lower edges 31b, 31c and the side edge 31a opposite the wall surface 3, but also by the side edge 31d on the wall surface 3 side by the vertical frame structure 20, thereby increasing the supporting strength. In addition, the wall panel 30 has cutouts 32, 33 corresponding to the protrusions 1, 2, and the side edge 31d fits into the recess 4, so that even if the recess 4 is deep, the width of the vertical frame structure 20 does not need to be excessively widened.
[0023] As shown in Fig. 4, when the wall panel 30 is attached, in the gap between the panel body 31 and the wall 40 on the dressing room side of the unit bath installed in the bathroom, a heat insulating material 45 is arranged on the wall surface 3 side, and a reinforcing material 46 is arranged on the opposite side of the wall surface 3. The heat insulating material 45 is arranged so as to fill the gap, and can enhance the heat insulating effect by blocking the gap between the notches 32, 33 and the gap and suppressing the flow of air. It is preferable that the heat insulating material 45 and the reinforcing material 46 are attached to the wall 40 of the unit bath before the wall panel 30 is attached.
[0024] As shown in FIG. 1, when the wall panel 30 is installed, the edges of the notches 32 and 33 and the protrusions 1,2 A gap 50 is formed between the panel body 31 and the panel 31. This gap 50 can be closed by attaching a cover material 55 made of a resin plate or the like to the surface of the panel body 31 facing the changing room.
[0025] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The bathroom is not limited to a room with a bathtub, but also includes a shower room. A unit bath may have only a shower facility without a bathtub. The adjacent room is not limited to a changing room primarily intended for undressing, but may be a room for any purpose adjacent to the bathroom, including a washroom. [Industrial Applicability]
