In a shutter case C above the opening, a winding shaft (not shown) for winding the shutter curtain 1 when the opening is opened is provided, and the opening is opened and closed by raising and lowering the shutter curtain 1 by electrically rotating the winding shaft by an opener M.

[0012] The shutter device according to the present embodiment is a weight shutter having heat insulation performance. In the plurality of slats 2 forming the shutter curtain 1, when the opening is fully closed, a heat insulation layer forming body 4 is provided on the slat 2 that closes the opening, and when the opening is fully closed, the indoor and outdoor spaces are partitioned by the shutter curtain 1 composed of slats 2 having heat insulation performance (that is, slats 2 provided with the heat insulation layer forming body 4). When the opening is fully closed, it is not always necessary to provide the heat insulation layer forming body 4 on the slat 2' located in the shutter case C (see Fig. 7).

[0013] Each slat 2 is obtained by forming a steel plate into a predetermined shape, and includes a face portion 20, an upper interlock connecting portion 21 formed above the face portion 20, and a lower interlock connecting portion 22 formed below the face portion 20. When the slat 2 is in a vertical posture, the face portion 20 extends vertically, and the outer surface (facing the outdoor side when the opening is fully closed) and the inner surface (facing the indoor side when the opening is fully closed) form a vertical plane. When the slat 2 is in a vertical posture, the upper interlock connecting portion 21 extends in a curved shape from the upper end of the face portion 20 toward the indoor side and obliquely upward, and a locking portion is formed on the tip side. The lower interlock connecting portion 22 extends in a curved shape from the lower end of the face portion 20 toward the indoor side and obliquely upward, and a locking portion is formed by curling the tip side downward.

[0014] On the inner surface of the face portion 20 of the slat 2, a recess is formed between the upper interlock connecting portion 21 and the lower interlock connecting portion 22, and a heat insulation layer forming body 4 is provided in the recess.

[0015] The heat insulation layer forming body 4 is composed of a metal box-shaped member 5 extending in the width direction of each slat 2 and a first heat insulation member 6 filled in the hollow portion of the metal box-shaped member 5. Between the heat insulation layer forming body 4 and the inner surface of the face portion 20, at least a second heat insulation member 7 is provided to regulate direct contact between the metal box-shaped member 5 and the inner surface of the face portion 20. The materials of the first heat insulation member 6 and the second heat insulation member 7 are not limited, but in this embodiment, the first heat insulation member 6 and the second heat insulation member 7 are rock wool.

[0016] The metal box-shaped member 5 according to this embodiment includes a face portion 50, an upper surface portion 51 at the upper end of the face portion 50, a lower surface portion 52 at the lower end of the face portion 50, and left and right side face portions 53 at both ends in the width direction. The portion facing the face portion 50 is open, and the first heat insulation member 6 is filled in the internal space. The second heat insulation member 7 is located between the tips of the upper surface portion 51, the lower surface portion 52, and the left and right side face portions 53 of the metal box-shaped member 5 and the inner surface of the face portion 20 of the slat 2.

[0017] The area of the second heat insulation member 7 is larger than the area formed by the upper surface portion 51, the lower surface portion 52, and the left and right side face portions 53 of the metal box-shaped member 5. More specifically, the width dimension of the second heat insulation member 7 is larger than the width dimension of the metal box-shaped member 5, and it has a portion 70 protruding outside the side face portion 53 of the metal box-shaped member 5 (see FIGS. 3, 8, and 9).

The airtight rubber 8 consists of a base portion 81 fitted into the mounting portion and fins 80 that contact the outer surface of the surface portion 20 of the slat 2. When the opening is fully closed, the fins 80 of the airtight rubber 8 contact both ends in the width direction of the outer surface of the surface portion 20 of the slat 2 in the height direction, forming an airtight structure. The airtight rubber 8 is made of a flame-retardant material and can withstand high temperatures during a fire.

[0021] In the fully closed position of the shutter curtain 1, both ends of the slat 2 in the width direction are located within the guide rail 3, but both ends of the insulation layer forming body 4 in the width direction are located on the guide rail bottom side of the contact area between the fins 80 of the airtight rubber 8 and the outer surface of the surface portion 20 of the slat 2. As shown in Figure 8, when the opening is fully closed, the ends (side portions 53) of the insulation layer forming body 4 (including the first insulation member 6) provided on the slat 2 are located on the guide rail bottom side of the contact area between the fins 80 of the airtight rubber 8 and the outer surface of the surface portion 20 of the slat 2, and the second insulation member 7 extends even further towards the guide rail bottom side than the ends (side portions 53) of the insulation layer forming body 4 (overhang portion 70).

[0022] As shown in Figure 7, a fin-shaped airtight rubber 9 is positioned above the ceiling CL in the lintel portion 10 above the opening. The airtight rubber 9 is located in the lifting path of the outer surface of the slat 2 surface portion 20, and when the opening is fully closed, the airtight rubber 9 contacts the entire width of the outer surface of a predetermined slat 2 surface portion 20 located above the opening, forming an airtight structure. The airtight rubber 9 is made of a flame-retardant material and can withstand high temperatures during a fire. [Explanation of symbols]
