[Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-230589 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] When reinforcing an exterior wall with a reinforcing plate, it is necessary to fix the reinforcing plate to the location where the ventilation fan is to be installed, drill a through hole in the reinforcing plate, and then insert a frame or the like through the through hole in the reinforcing plate. As such, installing a ventilation fan on an exterior wall requires a lot of work. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] (1) A mounting structure for a ventilation fan that solves the above-mentioned problem is a mounting structure for a ventilation fan in a building, comprising: a first shaft member that is arranged between a lower base of the building and an upper cross member that is arranged above the lower base in the building in the vertical direction and is attached to the lower base and the upper cross member; a second shaft member that is arranged between the lower base and the upper cross member in the vertical direction and is attached to the lower base and the upper cross member and is arranged at a distance from the first shaft member; and a second shaft member that is arranged between the first shaft member and the second shaft member. a first connecting member that is arranged between the first shaft member and the second shaft member and connects the first shaft member and the second shaft member; a second connecting member that is arranged between the first shaft member and the second shaft member and below the first connecting member and connects the first shaft member and the second shaft member; and a cylindrical body that is provided between the first shaft member and the second shaft member and between the first connecting member and the second connecting member, connects the inner space of the outer wall with the outer space, and to which a ventilation fan is attached, and the cylindrical body is fixed to the first connecting member and the second connecting member by an attachment member.

[0007] With this configuration, the ventilation fan is supported by a frame made up of a first shaft member, a second shaft member, a first connecting member, and a second connecting member. Because the load of the ventilation fan is applied to the building frame via the frame, the load applied to the exterior panel of the exterior wall or the interior material can be reduced. This improves the strength of the ventilation fan mounting structure.

[0008] Because the first shaft member and the second shaft member are attached to the skeleton, the first shaft member and the second shaft member can be installed on the skeleton when the skeleton is constructed. Also, because the first connecting member and the second connecting member are connected to the first shaft member and the second shaft member, the first connecting member and the second connecting member can be connected to the first shaft member and the second shaft member when the skeleton is constructed. In this way, these members can be assembled to the skeleton when the skeleton is constructed, which improves the ease of construction of the ventilation fan mounting structure.

[0009] (2) In the ventilation fan mounting structure described in (1) above, the first shaft member, the second shaft member, the first connecting member, and the second connecting member are integrally configured. With this configuration, the first shaft member, the second shaft member, the first connecting member, and the second connecting member are integrally configured, which improves the workability of the exterior wall including the ventilation fan mounting structure.

[0010] (3) The ventilation fan mounting structure described in (1) above further includes a first vertical member disposed between the first connecting member and the second connecting member, and a second vertical member disposed at a distance from the first vertical member in a horizontal direction intersecting the vertical direction, and the cylinder is provided in an opening between the first vertical member and the second vertical member and between the first connecting member and the second connecting member, and the cylinder is fixed to the first connecting member, the second connecting member, the first vertical member, and the second vertical member by the mounting member. With this configuration, the first vertical member and the second vertical member can improve the strength of the frame supporting the ventilation fan. Furthermore, the cylinder can be firmly fixed.

[0011] (4) The mounting structure for a ventilation fan described in (3) above further includes a plurality of exterior panels, and the cylindrical body has an upper surface portion, a lower surface portion located lower than the upper surface portion, a first side surface portion connecting the upper surface portion and the lower surface portion, and a second side surface portion arranged opposite the first side surface portion and connecting the upper surface portion and the lower surface portion, and the first connecting member and the second connecting member each have a first outer surface portion facing the outside of the room, a first inner surface portion facing the inside of the room, and a first intermediate surface portion connecting the first outer surface portion and the first inner surface portion, one of the exterior panels is fixed to the first outer surface portion of the first connecting member, and the other of the exterior panels is fixed to the first outer surface portion of the second connecting member, the upper surface portion of the cylindrical body is fixed to the first inner surface portion of the first connecting member by the mounting member, and the lower surface portion of the cylindrical body is fixed to the first inner surface portion of the second connecting member by the mounting member. According to this configuration, the exterior panel can be fixed to the first outer surface portions of the first connecting member and the second connecting member, and the cylindrical body can be fixed to the first inner surface portions of the first connecting member and the second connecting member.

[0012] (5) In the ventilation fan mounting structure described in (4) above, the first vertical member and the second vertical member each have a second outer surface portion facing the outside of the room, a second inner surface portion facing the inside of the room, and a second intermediate surface portion connecting the second outer surface portion and the second inner surface portion, and the first side surface portion of the cylinder is fixed to the second inner surface portion of the first vertical member by the mounting member, and the second side surface portion of the cylinder is fixed to the second inner surface portion of the second vertical member by the mounting member. With this configuration, the cylinder can be fixed to the frame from four directions by the mounting members, thereby improving the fixing strength of the cylinder to the frame.

[0013] (6) In the ventilation fan mounting structure described in any one of (1) to (5) above, the first shaft member and the second shaft member are each fixed to the upper cross member by an upper fixing member and fixed to the lower base by a lower fixing member. With this configuration, the first shaft member and the second shaft member can be easily fixed to the frame by the upper fixing member and the lower fixing member.

[0014] (7) In the ventilation fan mounting structure described in any one of (1) to (6) above, a vibration-damping material is provided between the cylinder and the mounting member. With this configuration, vibrations generated when the ventilation fan operates can be absorbed by the vibration-damping material, thereby suppressing vibrations transmitted to the frame. As a result, vibrations of the exterior wall can be suppressed.

[0015] (8) In the ventilation fan mounting structure described in (4) above, the first inner surface portion of the first connecting member and the first inner surface portion of the second connecting member each have a plurality of first fixing holes for mounting the mounting member. With this configuration, the mounting member can be easily fixed to the first connecting member and the second connecting member. Therefore, it is easy to mount the cylindrical body to the first connecting member and the second connecting member.

[0016] (9) In the ventilation fan mounting structure described in (5) above, the second inner surface portion of the first vertical member and the second inner surface portion of the second vertical member each have a plurality of second fixing holes for attaching the mounting member. With this configuration, the mounting member can be easily fixed to the first vertical member and the second vertical member.

Specifically, the heat insulating material 66 is provided on the upper side of the upper surface portion 31 of the cylindrical body 30, the lower side of the lower surface portion 32, the outside of the first side surface portion 33, and the outside of the second side surface portion 34.

[0058] [Exterior panel] The arrangement of the exterior panels 16 in the mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19 will be described with reference to Figure 2. One of the exterior panels 16 is fixed to the first outer surface portion 51 of the first connecting member 25. The other of the exterior panels 16 is fixed to the first outer surface portion 51 of the second connecting member 26. The other of the exterior panels 16 is fixed to the second outer surface portion 55 of the first vertical member 27. The other of the exterior panels 16 is fixed to the second outer surface portion 55 of the second vertical member 28.

[0059] 2 and 4, the exterior panel 16 has an exterior panel main body 16A and an engaging fitting 16B provided on the back surface of the exterior panel main body 16A. The engaging fitting 16B has an engaging claw 16C. The engaging claw 16C of the engaging fitting 16B is hooked onto the frame 21 or the panel engaging portion 68, thereby attaching the exterior panel 16 to the mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19.

[0060] Specifically, the exterior panel 16 arranged near the upper cross member 13 has at least two engaging fittings 16B. One engaging fitting 16B of the exterior panel 16 engages with a panel engaging portion 68 provided on the upper cross member 13. The other engaging fitting 16B engages with the first connecting member 25. One engaging fitting 16B of the exterior panel 16 arranged on the lower base 4 engages with the panel engaging portion 68 provided on the lower base 4. The other engaging fitting 16B engages with the second connecting member 26. Other exterior panels 16 are also attached to the mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19 by engaging fittings 16B in a similar manner.

[0061] [Operation of this embodiment] Conventionally, the ventilation fan 19 is attached to a reinforcing plate provided on the exterior wall 15. In this case, an opening for the cylindrical body 30 to fit into is provided on-site in the reinforcing plate. The size of the opening is formed to match the size of the cylindrical body 30. In this way, the mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19 is provided on the exterior wall 15 through work on-site. Because this type of work requires manpower, if there is a shortage of manpower, it may take a long time to install the mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19.

[0062] The mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19 of this embodiment includes a first shaft member 23, a second shaft member 24, a first connecting member 25, a second connecting member 26, and a cylindrical body 30. Such mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19 is provided on the skeleton 10 of the building 1 when the skeleton 10 is constructed. Therefore, the mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19 can be provided during the series of construction steps for the skeleton 10, improving work efficiency.

[0063] Furthermore, the first shaft member 23, the second shaft member 24, the first connecting member 25, and the second connecting member 26 are integrally configured. Specifically, the first shaft member 23, the second shaft member 24, the first connecting member 25, and the second connecting member 26 are pre-assembled together at a factory. Therefore, at the construction site, the mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19 can be configured by attaching the frame 21, in which the first shaft member 23, the second shaft member 24, the first connecting member 25, and the second connecting member 26 are integrated, to the main body 10. In this way, the ease of constructing the mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19 at the construction site can be improved.

[0064] [Effects of this embodiment] The effects of this embodiment will be described. (1) The mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19 includes a first shaft member 23, a second shaft member 24, a first connecting member 25, a second connecting member 26, and a cylindrical body 30. The cylindrical body 30 is fixed to the first connecting member 25 and the second connecting member 26 by a mounting member 60.

[0065] With this configuration, ventilation fan 19 is supported by frame 21, which is made up of first shaft member 23, second shaft member 24, first connecting member 25, and second connecting member 26. The load of ventilation fan 19 is applied to body 10 via frame 21, which reduces the load applied to exterior panel 16 of exterior wall 15 or interior materials. This improves the strength of mounting structure 20 for ventilation fan 19.

[0066] Because the first shaft member 23 and the second shaft member 24 are attached to the skeleton 10, the first shaft member 23 and the second shaft member 24 can be provided to the skeleton 10 when the skeleton 10 is being constructed. Furthermore, because the first connecting member 25 and the second connecting member 26 are connected to the first shaft member 23 and the second shaft member 24, the first connecting member 25 and the second connecting member 26 can be connected to the first shaft member 23 and the second shaft member 24 when the skeleton 10 is being constructed. In this way, because these members can be assembled to the skeleton 10 when the skeleton 10 is being constructed, the ease of construction of the mounting structure for the ventilation fan 19 can be improved.

[0067] (2) The first shaft member 23, the second shaft member 24, the first connecting member 25, and the second connecting member 26 are integrally configured. With this configuration, the first shaft member 23, the second shaft member 24, the first connecting member 25, and the second connecting member 26 are integrally configured, so that the frame 21 including these members can be easily fixed to the skeleton 10. This improves the ease of construction of the exterior wall 15 including the mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19.

[0068] Furthermore, the first shaft member 23, the second shaft member 24, the first connecting member 25, the second connecting member 26, the first vertical member 27, and the second vertical member 28 may be configured as a single unit. With this configuration, the first shaft member 23, the second shaft member 24, the first connecting member 25, the second connecting member 26, the first vertical member 27, and the second vertical member 28 are configured as a single unit, so that the frame 21 including these members can be easily fixed to the skeleton 10. This improves the ease of construction of the exterior wall 15 including the mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19.

[0069] (3) The mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19 includes a first shaft member 23, a second shaft member 24, a first connecting member 25, a second connecting member 26, a first vertical member 27, a second vertical member 28, and a cylindrical body 30. The cylindrical body 30 is provided in an opening 29 between the first vertical member 27 and the second vertical member 28 and between the first connecting member 25 and the second connecting member 26. The cylindrical body 30 is fixed to the first connecting member 25, the second connecting member 26, the first vertical member 27, and the second vertical member 28 by mounting members 60. With this configuration, the first vertical member 27 and the second vertical member 28 can improve the strength of the frame 21 that supports the ventilation fan 19. Furthermore, the cylindrical body 30 can be firmly fixed.

[0070] (4) In the mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19, one of the exterior panels 16 is fixed to the first outer surface portion 51 of the first connecting member 25. The other of the exterior panels 16 is fixed to the first outer surface portion 51 of the second connecting member 26. The upper surface portion 31 of the cylindrical body 30 is fixed to the first inner surface portion 52 of the first connecting member 25 by the mounting member 60. The lower surface portion 32 of the cylindrical body 30 is fixed to the first inner surface portion 52 of the second connecting member 26 by the mounting member 60.

[0071] According to this configuration, the exterior panel 16 can be fixed to the first outer surface portion 51 of the first connecting member 25 and the second connecting member 26, and the cylindrical body 30 can be fixed to the first inner surface portion 52 of the first connecting member 25 and the second connecting member 26.

[0072] (5) In the mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19, the upper surface 31 of the cylindrical body 30 is fixed to the first inner surface 52 of the first connecting member 25 by the mounting members 60. The lower surface 32 of the cylindrical body 30 is fixed to the first inner surface 52 of the second connecting member 26 by the mounting members 60. The first side surface 33 of the cylindrical body 30 is fixed to the second inner surface 56 of the first vertical member 27 by the mounting members 60. The second side surface 34 of the cylindrical body 30 is fixed to the second inner surface 56 of the second vertical member 28 by the mounting members 60. With this configuration, the cylindrical body 30 can be fixed to the frame 21 from four directions by the mounting members 60. This improves the fixing strength of the cylindrical body 30 to the frame 21.

[0073] (6) The first shaft member 23 and the second shaft member 24 are each fixed to the upper cross member 13 by the upper fixing member 41, and are also fixed to the lower base 4 by the lower fixing member 42. With this configuration, the first shaft member 23 and the second shaft member 24 can be easily fixed to the frame 10 by the upper fixing member 41 and the lower fixing member 42.

[0074] (7) A vibration-damping material 38 is provided between the cylindrical body 30 and the mounting member 60. With this configuration, the vibration generated when the ventilation fan 19 operates can be absorbed by the vibration-damping material 38, thereby suppressing the vibration transmitted to the frame 21. As a result, the vibration of the exterior wall 15 can be suppressed.

[0075] (8) In the mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19 described in (4) above, the first inner surface portion 52 of the first connecting member 25 and the first inner surface portion 52 of the second connecting member 26 each have a plurality of first fixing holes 54 for attaching the mounting member 60. With this configuration, the mounting member 60 can be easily fixed to the first connecting member 25 and the second connecting member 26. Therefore, the cylindrical body 30 can be easily attached to the first connecting member 25 and the second connecting member 26.

[0076] (9) The second inner surface portion 56 of the first vertical member 27 and the second inner surface portion 56 of the second vertical member 28 each have a plurality of second fixing holes 58 for attaching the mounting member 60. With this configuration, the mounting member 60 can be easily fixed to the first vertical member 27 and the second vertical member 28. Therefore, it is easy to attach the cylindrical body 30 to the first vertical member 27 and the second vertical member 28.

[0077] (10) The building 1 includes a building main body 2. The building main body 2 is provided with any one of the above-described mounting structures 20 for the ventilation fan 19. In the mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19, the ventilation fan 19 is mounted to the cylindrical body 30. This configuration improves the ease of construction of the building 1 having the mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19.

[0078] <Modification> The above-described embodiment is an example of the possible forms of the mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19 and the building 1, and is not intended to limit the forms.

In this embodiment, the mounting members 60 are formed of angle fittings. The mounting members 60 for mounting the cylindrical body 30 may be bolts and nuts, or screws.

[0080] In the mounting structure 20 for the ventilation fan 19, the first vertical member 27 and the second vertical member 28 may be omitted. In this case, the first side surface portion 33 and the second side surface portion 34 of the cylindrical body 30 do not have to be fixed to the frame 21, and may be fixed to the first connecting member 25 and the second connecting member 26 by angle fittings.

[0081] In the mounting structure 20 of the ventilation fan 19, the first vertical member 27 and the second vertical member 28 may be omitted, and the first side portion 33 and the second side portion 34 of the cylindrical body 30 may be fixed to the first shaft member 23 and the second shaft member 24 by metal fittings.
