Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a mounting bracket and a panel installation structure, and more particularly to a mounting bracket for installing an item on a metal roof, and a panel installation structure for installing a panel on a metal roof using the mounting bracket. [Background technology]

[0002] As is well known, metal roofs such as folded-plate roofs, which can be constructed at relatively low cost, are widely used in large buildings such as factories, warehouses, and gymnasiums, and various items such as heat-shielding panels, solar cell modules, electrical equipment, and walkways are installed on these metal roofs.

[0003] Conventionally, mounting brackets for installing various items on metal roofs have been known, for example, as described in Patent Documents 1 and 2. These mounting brackets are composed of a pair of sections that are joined together with bolts and nuts, and clamping sections provided at the bottom of each section are swung open and closed with the top of each section as a fulcrum, thereby clamping and fixing a protruding part on the metal roof.

[0004] However, while these conventional mounting brackets can firmly clamp the protruding parts of a metal roof with the fastening force of the bolts and nuts, the angle of the top of each section relative to the roof surface changes depending on how tightly the bolts and nuts are tightened, making it difficult to stably fasten various items directly to the top of each section. Therefore, with conventional mounting brackets, it is necessary to erect mounting bolts for attaching items on the top of the sections, fasten beams to these mounting bolts, and fasten various items via these beams (see rail member Q1 in Figure 14 of Patent Document 1), or to screw nuts onto these mounting bolts and fasten various items via these nuts (see clamping nut 22 in Figure 5(b) of Patent Document 2), which makes the item installation structure more complicated and increases the installation workload.

[0015] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mounting bracket 10 of this embodiment is made up of a pair of divided bodies (1A, 1B) joined together by a bolt 6 and a nut 7.

[0016] As shown in Figure 2, each divided body (1A, 1B) has a side wall portion 2 in the shape of an approximately rectangular plate having a bolt insertion hole 21 through which a bolt 6 can be inserted, a clamping portion 3 provided on the lower edge of the side wall portion 2 for clamping a protrusion of the metal roof when connected to the other divided body, and an item fixing portion 4 provided on the upper edge of the side wall portion 2 for fixing an item to be installed on the metal roof.

[0017] Each divided body (1A, 1B) of this embodiment is formed by bending a steel plate, and the clamping portion 3 is formed by a rectangular plate-shaped leg portion 31 extending in one direction from the lower edge of the side wall portion 2 at an angle of approximately 70 degrees relative to the side wall portion 2, and a rectangular plate-shaped clamping abutment portion 32 extending upward from the tip edge of the leg portion 31 substantially parallel to the side wall portion 2. The article fixing portion 4 is formed by a rectangular plate-shaped mounting portion 41 extending from the upper edge of the side wall portion 2 at a right angle to the side wall portion 2 in the same direction as the clamping portion 3, and a rectangular plate-shaped flange portion 42 extending downward from the tip edge of the mounting portion 41 substantially parallel to the side wall portion 2. The mounting portion 41 is provided with screw holes 43 for fastening various articles with screws, etc.

[0018] An arm 5 is provided in the middle of one side edge of the side wall 2 of each divided body (1A, 1B), and an insertion hole 22 is provided in the middle of the other side edge of this side wall 2. This arm 5 is also formed by bending, and extends from one side edge of the side wall 2 at a right angle to the side wall 2 in the same direction as the clamping part 3, forming a substantially rectangular plate. An insertion protrusion 52 in the shape of a substantially rectangular plate is provided in the center of the tip 51 of the arm 5, so that it can be inserted into the insertion hole 22 of the other divided body.

[0019] The insertion protrusions 52 of each arm 5 of the pair of segments (1A, 1B) are inserted into the respective insertion holes 22 of the opposing segment (1B, 1A), and the tips 51 of the arms 5 are abutted against the side wall 2 of the opposing segment. Then, nuts 7 are threaded onto and fastened to the bolts 6 inserted into the bolt insertion holes 21 of each segment, thereby joining the pair of segments (1A and 1B) and forming the mounting bracket 10 of this embodiment (see Figure 1).

[0020] As shown in FIG. 3, when the pair of segments (1A, 1B) of the mounting bracket 10 of this embodiment are joined together, the leading edges of the article fixing portions 4 of each segment (1A, 1B) are spaced apart, forming a first gap S1. A recess 53 having the same width as the first gap S1 is formed in the upper edge of each arm 5 at a position corresponding to the first gap S1. When the pair of segments (1A, 1B) of the mounting bracket 10 of this embodiment are joined together, a gap of distance W is formed between the clamping abutment portions 32 of the clamping portions 3 of each segment (1A, 1B). This distance W is set to match the average thickness of the base of the clamping portion of a known clamping-type folded-plate roof. A rotation-preventing protrusion 23 is formed by embossing on the side wall portion 2 of one of the segments 1A to prevent co-rotation of the bolt 6 when the nut is fastened.

[0021] 4, the mounting bracket 10 of this embodiment is provided with a slit 44 of the same width as the first gap S1 in the widthwise center of the article fixing portion 4 of each divided body (1A, 1B), and a second gap S2 perpendicular to the first gap S1 is formed. The slit 44 divides the mounting portion 41 of the article fixing portion 4 of each divided body (1A, 1B) in half, so that the mounting bracket 10 as a whole forms a total of four mounting portions 41 (see FIG. 1). The slit 44 of this embodiment is provided from the article fixing portion 4 across the upper edge of the side wall 2 to the upper part of the side wall 2.

[0022] When fixing the mounting bracket 10 of this embodiment configured as described above to a metal roof, the nut 7 is loosened to increase the distance between the clamping and abutting portions 32 of the pair of clamping parts 3, and the protrusion on the metal roof is inserted between these clamping and abutting portions 32. The nut 7 is then tightened, so that the clamping and abutting portions 32 of the pair of clamping parts 3 clamp the base of the protrusion P on the metal roof R, fixing the mounting bracket 10 to the metal roof R, as shown in FIG.

[0023] When fixing the mounting bracket 10 to the metal roof R, the mounting bracket 10 can be disassembled into a pair of segments (1A, 1B) in advance, and the insertion protrusions 52 of the arm portions 5 of each segment (1A, 1B) can be inserted into the insertion holes 22 of the other segment, with the clamping abutment portions 32 of the segments (1A, 1B) each being brought into contact with the protrusions P of the metal roof R, and then the mounting bracket 10 can be fixed to the metal roof R by tightening the bolts 6 and nuts 7.

[0024] After the mounting bracket 10 of this embodiment is fixed to the metal roof R, various items are installed on the metal roof R by placing the item to be installed on the metal roof R on the mounting portion 41 of the item fixing portion 4 of the mounting bracket 10 and fastening the item with screws or the like using the screw holes 43 of the mounting portion 41.

[0025] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, a fastening type folded plate roof having a fastening portion is exemplified as the metal roof R to which the mounting bracket 10 is fixed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the mounting bracket according to the present invention may be fixed to, for example, the joining bolts that join the folded plates of a folded plate roof, or the tile bars of a tile-roofed metal roof.

[0026] Thus, with the mounting bracket 10 of this embodiment, when the nut 7 is tightened and the pair of clamping portions 3 clamp the protrusion P of the metal roof R, the tip 51 of the arm portion 5 of each divided body (1A, 1B) abuts against the side wall portion 2 of the other divided body, so that, unlike conventional products, the angle of the item fixing portion 4 relative to the roof surface does not change depending on how tightly the nut 7 is tightened, and various items can be stably fixed to the item fixing portion 4.

[0027] Note that there is variation in the thickness of the fastening portion of an actual existing fastening type folded plate roof. If the thickness of the fastening portion is relatively large, when the nuts 7 are tightened and the tips 51 of the arms 5 of each segment (1A, 1B) are abutted against the side wall 2 of the other segment, the clamping portion 3 and the lower part of the side wall 2 may bend elastically outward. However, because the tips 51 of the arms 5 abut against the side wall 2 of the other segment in the middle of the side wall 2, forming a rigid body there, deformation of the clamping portion 3 and the lower part of the side wall 2 does not affect the article fixing portion 4 provided on the upper edge of the side wall 2, and an article can be stably fixed to the article fixing portion 4.

[0028] On the other hand, when the actual thickness of the clamping portion is relatively small, in order to securely clamp this clamping portion with the clamping portion 3, a spacer may be interposed between the clamping portion and the clamping abutment portion 32, or the tip 51 of the arm portion 5 of each divided body (1A, 1B) may be abutted against the side wall portion 2 of the other divided body, and then the nut 7 may be tightened to elastically bend the lower part of the side wall portion 2 inward.However, even in this case, since a rigid body is formed by the arm portion 5 in the middle part of the side wall portion 2, deformation of the lower part of the side wall portion 2 does not affect the article fixing portion 4, and the article can be fixed stably to the article fixing portion 4.

[0029] Furthermore, with the mounting bracket 10 of this embodiment, the insertion protrusions 52 of the arm portions 5 of each segment (1A, 1B) are inserted into the insertion holes 22 of the other segment, so that the tips 51 of the arm portions 5 of each segment (1A, 1B) can be reliably abutted against the side wall portions 2 of the other segment, significantly increasing the rigidity of the middle portions of the side wall portions 2. Also, when joining a pair of segments (1A, 1B), when loosening the nuts 7 of the joined mounting bracket 10 to widen the gap between the clamping and abutting portions 32, or when tightening the nuts 7 to clamp the protrusions P of the metal roof R, it is possible to prevent the opposing positions of the clamping and abutting portions 32 from shifting, significantly improving the handleability of the mounting bracket 10 and making the process of fastening it to the metal roof R extremely easy.

[0030] Next, the panel installation structure 20 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 6 to 10. The panel installation structure 20 of this embodiment is composed of the above-mentioned mounting bracket 10 and a panel 8 to be installed on a metal roof.

[0031] 6 to 8, the panel 8 includes a rectangular panel body 81 and ribs (82, 83) provided on the periphery of the panel body 81. The panel 8 of this embodiment is configured as a heat-shielding panel that highly reflects solar radiation to suppress a temperature rise on a metal roof, and the surface of the panel body 81, which is made of a steel plate, is coated with a known heat-shielding paint.

[0032] In the panel 8 of this embodiment, a rib portion 82 is formed by bending the short side (approximately 500 mm) of a rectangular panel main body 81, and a rib portion 83 is formed by bending the long side (approximately 666 mm) of the panel main body 81. These rib portions 82 and 83 are welded together at each corner of the panel main body 81.

[0033] In addition, near the corners of the panel body 81, there are through holes 84 through which fixing screws or the like can be inserted, and on the surface of the panel body 81, numerous protrusions 85 are embossed to increase the strength of the panel body 81 and to prevent slipping when walking.

[0034] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the panel installation structure 20 of this embodiment is constructed by fixing multiple mounting brackets 10 to each of the multiple protrusions P of the metal roof R, placing a panel 8 directly on the mounting portion 41 of the item fixing portion 4 of each mounting bracket 10, and screwing a fixing screw 9 inserted into the through hole 84 of this panel 8 into the screw hole 43 of the mounting portion 41 to fix the panel 8 to the item fixing portion 4 of the mounting bracket 10.

[0035] In addition, in the panel installation structure 20 of this embodiment, the panel 8 is fixed to the item fixing portion 4 of the mounting bracket 10 with the rib portions 82 and 83 at the corners of the panel 8 inserted into the first gap S1 and second gap S2 of the item fixing portion 4.

[0036] As described above, according to the panel installation structure 20 of this embodiment, the first gap S1 and the first gap S2 are formed in the article fixing portion 4 of the mounting bracket 10, so that the panel 8 having the reinforcing ribs 82 and 83 can be fixed directly to the article fixing portion 4, and this panel 8 can be easily and stably installed on the metal roof R. Furthermore, multiple panels 8 can be easily and stably fixed to one mounting bracket 10.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 10 , when multiple panels 8 are sequentially installed on multiple mounting brackets 10 fixed to multiple protrusions P on a metal roof R, other panels 8 are already fixed to some of the four mounting sections 41 of the mounting bracket 10, and the next panel 8 is to be fixed to the remaining mounting sections 41 (see symbols C, D, and E in FIG. 10 ). At this time, when the rib sections 82 and 83 of the next panel 8 are inserted into the first gap S1 and second gap S2 of the article mounting section 4 and fixed with fixing screws, the mounting sections 41 and the upper parts of the side wall sections 2 may be deformed. Furthermore, after all the panels 8 have been installed, the panels 8 may thermally shrink due to, for example, sunlight or rain, and each mounting section 41 may be deformed.

[0038] However, according to the panel installation structure 20 of this embodiment, a first gap S1 and a second gap S2 are formed in the item fixing portion 4 of the mounting bracket 10, so that each mounting portion 41 can deform independently, and furthermore, a rigid body is formed by the arm portion 5 in the middle portion of the side wall portion 2 of the mounting bracket 10, so that deformation of these mounting portions 41 does not affect the clamping portion 3 provided on the lower edge portion of the side wall portion 2, and stable clamping of the protrusion portion P of the metal roof R by the clamping portion 3 can be maintained, and multiple panels 8 can be stably installed on the metal roof R.

[0039] Although the mounting bracket 10 and panel installation structure 20 of this embodiment have been described above, the present invention can also be implemented in other embodiments.

[0040] For example, in the above embodiment, an arm portion 5 is provided on one side edge of the side wall portion 2 of each divided body (1A, 1B) of the mounting bracket 10, and an insertion hole 22 is provided on the other side edge of this side wall portion 2, but as in the mounting bracket 30 shown in Figure 11, an arm portion 5 may be provided on each side edge of the side wall portion 2 of one divided body 1C, and an insertion hole 22 may be provided on each side edge of the side wall portion 2 of the other divided body 1D.

[0041] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a screw hole 43 is provided in the article fixing portion 4 of the mounting bracket 10, and a fixing screw 9 is screwed into this screw hole 43 to fix an article such as a panel 8, but the present invention is by no means limited to this. For example, an insertion hole may be provided in the article fixing portion 4, and another bolt may be inserted into this insertion hole and another nut may be screwed onto it to fix an article such as a panel 8.

[0042] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, an article such as a panel 8 is placed and fixed directly on the article fixing portion 4 of the mounting bracket 10, but the present invention is by no means limited to this, and various articles do not necessarily have to be placed directly on the article fixing portion 4 of the mounting bracket 10, and other members such as beams may be interposed between the article fixing portion 4 and the article. With the mounting bracket according to the present invention, the angle of the article fixing portion 4 relative to the roof surface does not change depending on how tightly the nut 7 is tightened, so various articles can be stably fixed to the mounting bracket 10 even when other members are interposed.

[0043] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the rib portions 82 and 83 at the corners of the panel 8 are inserted into the first gap S1 and the second gap S2 of the item fixing portion 4 of the mounting bracket 10, the corners of the panel 8 are fixed to the item fixing portion 4, and the corners of the panel 8 are supported by the mounting bracket 10, but the present invention is of course not limited to this, and the rib portions (82 and 83) at the side edges of the panel 8 other than the corners may be inserted into the first gap S1 or the second gap S2, the side edges of the panel 8 are fixed to the item fixing portion 4, and the side edges of the panel 8 are supported by the mounting bracket 10.

[0044] In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the rectangular panel 8 is installed vertically with its long side aligned with the protruding portion P of the metal roof R. However, the panel 8 may also be installed horizontally with its long side perpendicular to the protruding portion P of the metal roof R. The spacing between the fastening portions of a known chain-fastened folded-plate roof is generally about 500 mm or about 333 mm. The panel 8 of this embodiment is formed with a long side of about 666 mm and a short side of about 500 mm. Therefore, when the spacing between the fastening portions is about 500 mm, the panel 8 can be installed vertically as shown in FIG. 10. When the spacing between the fastening portions is about 333 mm, the same panel 8 can be installed horizontally, allowing for panel standardization.

[0045] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the multiple panels 8 are installed with almost no gaps between them, but the multiple panels 8 may also be installed with a required gap between them, for example by increasing the spacing between the first gap S1 and the second gap S2 of the article fixing portion 4 of the mounting bracket 10.

[0046] The present invention may be embodied in various other forms, including improvements, modifications, and variations based on the knowledge of a person skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit of the invention. Furthermore, within the scope of producing the same action or effect, any of the features specifying the invention may be substituted with other technology, and an integrally configured feature of the invention may be composed of multiple components, or an integrally configured feature of the invention consisting of multiple components may be embodied.
