storage shed

Abstract

Sandbox tools and play equipment stored in metal storage sheds at kindergartens and daycare centers often become covered in sand, accumulating in the rail grooves under the door and on the floor, making it difficult to open and close the door. Metal floors also suffer from the problem of being easily scratched and rusted. In response to this problem, a floor protection mat was sometimes used to protect the floor of storage sheds, as described on page 115 of the Takubo Industries Co., Ltd. catalog in Non-Patent Document 1. However, the temperature difference between day and night caused condensation, which led to rust. Furthermore, cleaning the floor was difficult, and sand tended to accumulate in the corners of the shed, making it difficult to remove. Even with hanging doors, sand accumulated in the lower rail grooves, making it difficult to open and close the door. [Solution] The floor of the storage shed includes a mesh floor and rail grooves, and has an inclined plate between the mesh floor and the ground, so that any mud, sand or debris that falls will automatically slide down the inclined plate to the front of the shed, and the storage shed is equipped with insect and other intrusion prevention plates on three sides of the outer periphery that closes off the space between the mesh floor and the inclined plate.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a storage shed that has a discharge hole for sand, garbage, etc. at the bottom of a rail groove under the door, and the fallen sand and garbage are automatically discharged to the outside front side of the storage shed via an inclined plate, so that the sand, garbage, etc. do not accumulate in the rail groove, and the door can be opened and closed easily. [Background technology]

[0002] Sandbox equipment and toys stored in storage sheds at kindergartens and nurseries tend to get covered in sand, which falls into the metal door rails and floor, causing scratches and rust, making it difficult to open and close the doors. Cleaning the door rails is also difficult.

[0002] On farms, after rain, sand and mud would stick to the soles of people's shoes and fall into the floor or grooves of the storage shed, making it difficult to clean the floor or open and close doors.

[0003] In consideration of this problem, the door described on page 12 of the catalogue of Takubo Kogyosho Co., Ltd. in Non-Patent Document 1 is a hanging door, and although there is a drain hole at the bottom of the anti-sway rail groove at the bottom of the door, sand accumulates in the anti-sway rail groove, making it difficult to open and close the door.

[0004] Also, as described on page 115 of the Takubo Industries Co., Ltd. catalog, there were cases where the floor of the storage shed was protected with floor protection mats or sheets to prevent scratches, but the temperature difference between day and night caused condensation and rust. Furthermore, cleaning the floor was difficult, and sand would accumulate in the corners of the storage shed, making it difficult to remove. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0013] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the center of a storage shed; This is a cross-sectional view showing the rail groove 32 facing the bottom surface under the door of the storage shed and the state in which mud, sand 5 and debris that has fallen from the floor surface slides down to the front side of the storage shed via the inclined plate 6.

[0014] The doors of the storage shed are classified into a hanging door type door 23 and a roller door type door 24. Referring to Figures 2 and 3, in the case of the hanging door type door 23, a door anti-sway frame 34 is provided in an anti-sway rail groove 32 at the bottom of the door. Referring to Figure 2 (B), when there is only one hanging door type door 23, the rail anti-sway groove 32 at the bottom of the door only has the door anti-sway frame 34, so the discharge hole 33 at the bottom of the anti-sway rail groove 32 can be fully opened, preventing accumulation of mud, sand 5, or debris, and allowing the hanging door type door 23 to be opened and closed smoothly. It is preferable that the area of ​​the discharge hole 33 is 50% or more of the door anti-sway groove 32 of the hanging door type door. More preferably, it is 80% or more, and even more preferably, it is 90% or more. When there are multiple hanging doors 23, as shown in Figure 3(A), there will be multiple anti-sway frames 34 as shown in Figures 3(A), (B), and (C), but most of the discharge holes 33 of the door anti-sway grooves 32 will be empty space, so mud, sand 5, and debris will not accumulate.

[0015] In the case of a roller-type door 24, referring to Figure 4, a roller rail 43 is required, and as shown in Figure 5(A), the area of ​​the roller rail 43 viewed from above and the area of ​​the door anti-vibration frame 34 and the anti-vibration frame joint 35 must be taken into consideration. After subtracting the combined area of ​​the two roller rails 43 in the anti-vibration rail groove 32 and the rail holding portion of the anti-vibration frame joint 35, it is preferable to ensure that the area of ​​the discharge hole 33 is 50% or more of the door anti-vibration groove 32. More preferably, it is 80% or more, and even more preferably, it is 90% or more. While the anti-vibration frame joint 35 is required to hold the door anti-vibration frame 34, the anti-vibration rail groove 32 should not be so large that mud, sand 5, or debris can accumulate.

[0016] Since the door anti-sway rail groove 32 of the hanging door type door 23 and the roller type door 24 is provided with a large discharge hole 33, the anti-sway rail groove 32 is structured so that mud and sand 5 do not accumulate, and the door can be opened and closed smoothly.

[0017] The discharge hole 33 of the door anti-sway groove 32 may be rectangular or round, and the discharge hole 33 may be provided in one location or in multiple locations.

[0018] Referring to FIG. 6, the floor of the storage shed is meshed with mesh openings of 2 to 30 mm, so that mud and sand 5 do not accumulate on the floor of the storage shed.

[0019] The floor of the shed is constructed using mesh-like expanded metal material, grating material, punched metal, etc. This allows mud and sand to fall off easily, providing a shed with a floor structure that is strong and durable. Even if not only mud and sand 5 but also trash, small parts, coins, etc. are dropped, they slide down via the inclined plate 6 installed between the floor board 2 and the ground and are automatically discharged to the front of the shed, making cleaning and maintenance easy. In particular, on farms, where mud, sand, and dead grass get on the soles of shoes, a mesh floor that is easy to put on and take off is very useful.

[0020] Standard expanded metal has a raised surface, but a flat type that has been skin-pass rolled is preferred.

[0021] The underside of flooring materials such as perforated metal, grating, and expanded metal are provided with claws that are inserted into insertion holes formed in the floor frame of the storage shed, and the frame of the flooring material is then mated to the floor frame. This allows the flooring material to be easily attached and detached without the use of tools, improving workability and facilitating cleaning under the floor. Furthermore, the insertion and mating ensures the rigidity of the entire floor, making it suitable for storing heavy items.

[0022] The material of the inclined plate 6 can be either resin or metal, but a mirror-finished stainless steel plate is preferable, as it allows mud, sand 5, and debris to slide easily. Opening and closing the storeroom door transmits vibrations to the inclined plate 6, which can encourage the discharge of mud and sand 5. It is also possible to force the discharge of mud and sand 5 by running water through it.

[0023] Depending on the items you store, you can solve the problem by storing items that must not get wet on the upper shelves of the storage shed rather than placing them on the floor.

[0024] Referring to Figure 7, mud and sand 5 that falls through the gaps in the mesh-like expanded metal or grating floor material is designed to automatically slide down towards the front of the door due to the angle of the inclined plate 6 and the vibrations caused by opening and closing the door. Mud on the soles of shoes may not slide down even if it falls on the inclined plate, but running water will force it to be washed away from under the storage floor.

[0025] The inclined plate 6 is fixed to the floor frame 1 on the opposite side of the door by attaching an inclined plate mounting plate 11 with screws or the like.

[0026] The slope of the slope plate 6 can be secured by fixing the slope plate mounting plate 11 to the floor frame 1 on the opposite side of the storage door with screws or the like, and placing the front side on the ground.

[0027] Since there is a possibility that insects or small animals may get in through the discharge holes 33 in the door anti-vibration groove 32 or through gaps in the floor material, an insect intrusion prevention plate and sand discharge plate 10 is provided as shown in Figure 7. By attaching a hinge 8 to the top of the insect intrusion prevention plate and sand discharge plate 10 and a magnet 9 to the bottom, the insect intrusion prevention plate and sand discharge plate 10 can be maintained in a raised state, making it easy to scrape out the discharged mud and sand 5.

[0028] The insect intrusion prevention board and sand discharge board 10 is made of a transparent material such as polycarbonate, so that the amount of fallen mud and sand 5 can be checked. If a magnet 9 is attached to the insect intrusion prevention board and sand discharge board 10, the raised magnet 9 will stick to the door or wall surface facing the insect intrusion prevention board and sand discharge board 10, allowing the insect intrusion prevention board and sand discharge board 10 to be held open, making it easier to scrape out the sand 5.

[0029] 7 is a view of the insect and other intrusion prevention plate 10 as seen from the direction of arrow B in Figure 1. Since insect and other intrusion prevention plate 10 can still invade from the sides if it is only installed on the front, insect and other intrusion prevention plates 7a and 7b are also provided on both sides to prevent the intrusion of insects and small animals.

[0030] If there are gaps in the rail grooves 32 or floor surface, air will circulate, which is likely to promote condensation, but by providing an insect and other intrusion prevention plate 10, not only can insects and small animals be prevented from entering, but air circulation will also be eliminated, which has the effect of minimizing condensation.

[0031] Referring to Figure 8, the inclined panel 6 may be attached not only to the front side but also to the left and right or front and rear. In the case of the front and rear or left and right, the inclined panel attachment portion 11 is eliminated, so the inclined panel holding member 21 can be attached to hold the inclined panels 16a and 16b, ensuring the proper slope. In this case, insect and other intrusion prevention panels 17a and 17b are required, and hinges 18a and 18b are also required at the top.

[0032] Furthermore, the inclined plate 6 may be a four-way flow plate, not just a two-way flow plate (left and right or front and back). As explained above, if the inclined plate 6 is a four-way flow plate, four insect intrusion prevention plates 10 and four insect intrusion prevention doors / sand discharge doors 10 are required.

[0033] The inclined plate 6 may be of any one of single flow, double flow, and four-way flow types, but single flow is preferred in consideration of cleaning efficiency.

[0034] Furthermore, the insect and other intrusion prevention door / sand discharge door 10 is preferably located on the front side of the storehouse.

[0035] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments. Various modifications and variations can be made to the illustrated embodiments within the same scope or equivalent scope of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]

[0036] According to this invention, mud, sand and dirt do not accumulate on the floor of the storehouse or in the rail grooves of the door, eliminating the need to clean the floor of the storehouse and allowing the door to be opened and closed smoothly. [Explanation of symbols]
