Description

本発明は、オフィスや大会場、会議室等を所定の区画に仕切って使用するための移動間仕切装置の側部閉塞機構に関する。 The present invention relates to a side closing mechanism of a moving partition device for partitioning an office, a large venue, a conference room, or the like into predetermined sections for use.

一般に移動間仕切装置は、誘導路を移動可能な間仕切パネル体を連接してオフィスや大会場、会議室等の部屋を所定の区画に仕切る用途で利用されている。このような移動間仕切装置にあっては、複数の間仕切パネル体を連接し壁面を形成する際に間仕切パネル体と部屋の側壁等の閉塞端部との間に隙間が生じ、この隙間から光漏れや音漏れが生じるという虞がある。そこで、特許文献１に開示されるように、側壁内に側壁の開口部（閉塞端部）を通って進退可能な接圧材（閉塞部材）と、圧接動作を行う圧接機構と、を備える隙間遮蔽装置（側部閉塞機構）を設け、天井に設けられたレールに吊支されるサイドパネル（間仕切パネル体）の側端部に対して圧接機構の圧接動作により接圧材を圧接させることで当該隙間を閉塞できるようにしたものがある。 In general, a mobile partition device is used for connecting a partition panel body that can move a taxiway to partition a room such as an office, a large venue, or a conference room into a predetermined section. In such a moving partition device, when a plurality of partition panel bodies are connected to form a wall surface, a gap is generated between the partition panel body and a closed end such as a side wall of a room, and light leaks from this gap. And sound leakage may occur. Therefore, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a gap provided in the side wall with a pressure contact material (closing member) capable of advancing and retreating through an opening (closed end) of the side wall and a pressure contact mechanism for performing a pressure contact operation. A shielding device (side closing mechanism) is provided, and the pressure contact material is pressed against the side end of the side panel (partition panel body) suspended from the rail provided on the ceiling by the pressure welding operation of the pressure welding mechanism. There is one that can close the gap.

特開平８−９３３５０号公報（第２頁、第１図）Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 8-93350 (Page 2, Fig. 1)

特許文献１にあっては、接圧材を圧接させるサイドパネルは、上方をレールに吊支されているのに対し、接圧材はボールネジにより進退方向にガイドされた状態で床面に荷重が支持されているため、サイドパネルの移動に伴い下方側が面方向に揺動して、サイドパネルと接圧材との上下に渡る対向端部がずれる虞があり、サイドパネルと接圧材との間の隙間が生じ、サイドパネルと閉塞端部との間を十分に閉塞できないという問題があった。 In Patent Document 1, the side panel for pressing the pressure contact material is suspended above the rail, whereas the pressure contact material is guided by a ball screw in the advancing / retreating direction, and a load is applied to the floor surface. Since it is supported, the lower side swings in the surface direction as the side panel moves, and there is a risk that the vertically opposed end portions of the side panel and the pressure contact material may shift, and the side panel and the pressure contact material may be displaced. There is a problem that a gap is generated between the side panels and the closed end cannot be sufficiently closed.

本発明は、このような問題点に着目してなされたもので、間仕切パネル体と閉塞端部との間を確実に閉塞できる移動間仕切装置の側部閉塞機構を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a side closing mechanism of a moving partition device capable of reliably closing between a partition panel body and a closing end portion.

前記課題を解決するために、本発明の移動間仕切装置の側部閉塞機構は、
天井側に設けられたレール装置に吊支されて移動可能な間仕切パネル体と、側壁の内部に設けられ、移動しない固定部に固定された進退機構により前記間仕切パネル体方向に進退動作する閉塞部材と、を有する移動間仕切装置の側部閉塞機構であって、
前記閉塞部材は、前記間仕切パネル体と対向するように独立して設けられ、前記レール装置の延伸方向上で該レール装置に吊支されて移動するように前記進退機構に接続されていることを特徴としている。
この特徴によれば、間仕切パネル体と閉塞部材とは、いずれも同じ誘導方向に案内されて移動するため、両者の対向端部を上下に亘り精度よく合わせることができ、間仕切パネル体と閉塞端部との間を確実に閉塞することができる。また、間仕切パネル体及び閉塞部材は、いずれも同じレール装置に吊支され、これらに作用する重力方向は一致していることから、両者の対向端部を一致させやすく、閉塞時の位置合わせを容易に行うことができる。 In order to solve the above problems, the side closing mechanism of the moving partition device of the present invention is used.
A partition panel body that can be moved by being suspended from a rail device provided on the ceiling side, and a closing member that moves forward and backward in the direction of the partition panel body by an advancing / retreating mechanism provided inside the side wall and fixed to a fixed portion that does not move. It is a side closing mechanism of a moving partition device having and
The closing member is provided independently so as to face the partition panel body, and is connected to the advancing / retreating mechanism so as to be suspended and supported by the rail device in the extending direction of the rail device. It is a feature.
According to this feature, since the partition panel body and the closing member are both guided and moved in the same guiding direction, the opposing ends of the partition panel body and the closing member can be accurately aligned vertically, and the partition panel body and the closing end can be accurately aligned. It is possible to reliably close the space between the parts. Further, since the partition panel body and the closing member are both suspended and supported by the same rail device and the directions of gravity acting on them are the same, it is easy to match the opposite ends of the two, and the alignment at the time of closing can be performed. It can be done easily.

前記側部閉塞機構は、前記閉塞部材の上方を先行して押圧する押圧手段を有していることを特徴としている。
この特徴によれば、押圧手段により両者の対向端部のずれの少ない上方で閉塞部材と間仕切パネル体の対向端部同士を先行して一致させた状態とした後、下方側を一致させることができるため、対向端部同士を上下に亘り精度よく合わせることができる。 The side closing mechanism is characterized by having a pressing means for pressing the upper side of the closing member in advance.
According to this feature, the closing member and the facing end portions of the partition panel body are brought into a state of being matched in advance by the pressing means at the upper side where the opposite ends of the two are less displaced, and then the lower side is matched. Therefore, the facing ends can be accurately aligned vertically.

前記閉塞部材は、前記レール装置に一点で吊支されていることを特徴としている。
この特徴によれば、閉塞部材が一点で吊支されることにより間仕切パネル体方向に傾動しやすくなるため、前記押圧手段により閉塞部材の上方を先行して移動させやすい。 The closing member is characterized in that it is suspended and supported by the rail device at one point.
According to this feature, since the closing member is suspended and supported at one point, it is easy to tilt toward the partition panel body, so that the pressing means can easily move the closing member above the closing member in advance.

That constitute the moving partition device 10 and which the partition panel 2 installed at the head of the partition panels 2 is in contact with the partition panel 2 to restrict the movement of the partition panel 2 at the head. It is a predetermined side wall portion, a support column, or the like that constitutes the portion.

また、図１に示されるように、移動規制端部４と対向した位置に配置される側壁Ｗには、空間Ｘが凹設されており、この空間Ｘ内に側部閉塞機構１が埋設されている。移動間仕切装置１０を構成する間仕切パネル２，２，…の内、最後尾の間仕切パネル２’は、側部閉塞機構１から進出退入可能に移動する側部閉塞部材１２により、その側部２ａと空間Ｘの側壁開口部５（閉塞端部）との間が閉塞されるようになっている。尚、閉塞端部とは、移動規制端部４と対向した位置で最後尾の間仕切パネル２’に対して相対移動しない固定部のことである。 Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a space X is recessed in the side wall W arranged at a position facing the movement restricting end portion 4, and the side closing mechanism 1 is embedded in the space X. ing. Of the partition panels 2, 2, ... Consisting of the moving partition device 10, the rearmost partition panel 2'is a side portion 2a of the partition panel 2'because of a side closing member 12 that moves forward and backward from the side closing mechanism 1. The space X is closed between the side wall opening 5 (closed end) and the side wall opening 5 (closed end). The closed end portion is a fixed portion that does not move relative to the rearmost partition panel 2'at a position facing the movement restricting end portion 4.

側部閉塞部材１２が進出したとき、側部閉塞部材１２によって最後尾の間仕切パネル２’が移動規制端部４の方向に押圧されるようになっており、一列に連接された間仕切パネル２，２，…，２’がそれぞれ移動規制端部４の方向に押圧されて、隣接する間仕切パネル２，２，…，２’同士が密着し、遮音性や遮蔽性が高められるようになっている。 When the side closing member 12 advances, the rearmost partition panel 2'is pressed in the direction of the movement restricting end 4 by the side closing member 12, and the partition panels 2 and 2 are connected in a row. 2, ..., 2'are pressed in the direction of the movement restricting end 4, respectively, and the adjacent partition panels 2, 2, ..., 2'are in close contact with each other, so that sound insulation and shielding are enhanced. ..

また、図２に示されるように、最後尾の間仕切パネル２’の側部２ａには、上下方向に亘って略コ字状の凹部２４ａが形成された凹型部材２４が図示しないボルトとナットで固定されている。さらに、側部閉塞部材１２の側部（後述する密閉部材２０の側端２０ａ）には、上下方向に亘って突出する凸部２５ａが形成された凸型部材２５が図示しないボルトとナットで固定されており、詳細は後述するとおり最後尾の間仕切パネル２’と側部閉塞部材１２の閉塞状態において、間仕切パネル２’の側部２ａに側部閉塞部材１２を構成する密閉部材２０の側端２０ａが当接した際に凹型部材２４と凸型部材２５とが凹凸嵌合するようになっている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a concave member 24 in which a substantially U-shaped recess 24a is formed in the vertical direction is formed on the side portion 2a of the rearmost partition panel 2'with bolts and nuts (not shown). It is fixed. Further, a convex member 25 having a convex portion 25a projecting in the vertical direction is fixed to the side portion of the side closing member 12 (the side end 20a of the sealing member 20 described later) with bolts and nuts (not shown). As will be described in detail later, in the closed state of the rearmost partition panel 2'and the side closing member 12, the side end of the sealing member 20 constituting the side closing member 12 on the side portion 2a of the partition panel 2'. When the 20a comes into contact with each other, the concave member 24 and the convex member 25 are unevenly fitted.

The sealing members 200, 200 are made of elastic rubber or the like, and are attached to both sides of the convex portion 25a inside the concave portion 24a when the concave member 24 and the convex member 25 are unevenly fitted. By bringing the sealing members 200 and 200 into close contact with each other from the front and back, the sound insulation and the shielding property can be surely enhanced in the closed state of the rearmost partition panel 2'and the side closing member 12.

また、凸型部材２５の凸部２５ａの突出端面には、上下方向に亘って弾性を有するゴム等で形成された緩衝部材２０１が取り付けられており、最後尾の間仕切パネル２’の側部２ａ等に凸部２５ａの突出端面が衝突した際に衝撃を吸収し、凸型部材２５の破損や変形を防止している。 Further, a cushioning member 201 made of rubber or the like having elasticity in the vertical direction is attached to the protruding end surface of the convex portion 25a of the convex member 25, and the side portion 2a of the rearmost partition panel 2'is attached. When the protruding end faces of the convex portion 25a collide with each other, the impact is absorbed to prevent the convex member 25 from being damaged or deformed.

また、本実施例において、隣接する間仕切パネル２，２，…，２’の両側部には、上述した凹型部材２４と凸型部材２５がそれぞれ取り付けられており、隣接する間仕切パネル２，２，…，２’の側部同士が当接した際に、対向する凹型部材２４と凸型部材２５とが凹凸嵌合することにより遮音性や遮蔽性を確実に高められるようになっている。 Further, in the present embodiment, the concave member 24 and the convex member 25 described above are attached to both side portions of the adjacent partition panels 2, 2, ..., 2', respectively, and the adjacent partition panels 2, 2, 2 ..., When the side portions of 2'are in contact with each other, the concave member 24 and the convex member 25 facing each other are unevenly fitted to each other, so that the sound insulation and the shielding property can be surely enhanced.

次いで、側部閉塞部材１２及び間仕切パネル２，２，…，２’のレール３に対する吊支構造について、図２を用いて説明する。尚、間仕切パネル２，２，…，２’の吊支構造は同一構成であるため、最後尾の間仕切パネル２’の吊支構造について説明し、他の間仕切パネル２，２，…の説明を省略する。 Next, the suspension structure of the side closing member 12 and the partition panels 2, 2, ..., 2'with respect to the rail 3 will be described with reference to FIG. Since the suspension structures of the partition panels 2, 2, ..., 2'have the same configuration, the suspension structure of the last partition panel 2'will be described, and the other partition panels 2, 2, ... Will be described. Omit.

主に図２に示されるように、側部閉塞部材１２の上端面１２ａの支柱１４（図３参照）側には、吊支部材３４が取り付けられており、吊支部材３４は、側部閉塞部材１２の上端面１２ａに固定される基部３４ａと、該基部３４ａから上方に延びる軸部３４ｂと、該軸部３４ｂの上端に回転可能に取り付けられた前後一対のローラ３４ｃ，３４ｃと、該ローラ３４ｃ，３４ｃの左右にそれぞれ設けられるガイド部材３４ｄ，３４ｄと、から主に構成されている。 As mainly shown in FIG. 2, a suspension member 34 is attached to the support column 14 (see FIG. 3) side of the upper end surface 12a of the side closing member 12, and the suspension member 34 is side-closed. A base portion 34a fixed to the upper end surface 12a of the member 12, a shaft portion 34b extending upward from the base portion 34a, a pair of front and rear rollers 34c and 34c rotatably attached to the upper end of the shaft portion 34b, and the rollers. It is mainly composed of guide members 34d and 34d provided on the left and right sides of the 34c and 34c, respectively.

また、レール３は、下向き略Ｃ字状を成し、前後の屈曲部３ｅ，３ｅの端部が前後に離間して前後中央に左右方向に亘って開口３ｄが形成され、該開口３ｄが下方を向いた状態でレール３の下面３ａが天井面Ｃ１と略面一となるように埋設されており、その長手方向の端部３ｂが、間仕切パネル２，２，…，２’が吊支される本体部３ｃから延伸方向に延長して形成されており、この端部３ｂが側壁開口部５の上端から空間Ｘの内側に入り込むとともに、固定的に設けられる支柱１４の上端に支持されている（図３参照）。 Further, the rail 3 has a substantially C-shape downward, and the ends of the front and rear bent portions 3e and 3e are separated from each other in the front and rear to form an opening 3d in the front and rear center in the left and right direction, and the opening 3d is downward. The lower surface 3a of the rail 3 is embedded so as to be substantially flush with the ceiling surface C1 in a state of facing the rail 3, and the partition panels 2, 2, ..., 2'are suspended and supported at the end 3b in the longitudinal direction thereof. It is formed so as to extend from the main body portion 3c in the extending direction, and the end portion 3b enters the inside of the space X from the upper end of the side wall opening 5 and is supported by the upper end of the support column 14 which is fixedly provided. (See FIG. 3).

吊支部材３４は、軸部３４ｂがレール３の開口３ｄを通って下方に突出した状態でレール３内に挿入されることにより、レール３内において、前後のローラ３４ｃ，３４ｃがレール３の屈曲部３ｅ，３ｅ上に載置されるとともに、ガイド部材３４ｄ，３４ｄが前後の溝部３ｆ，３ｆにそれぞれ嵌挿されるため、前後方向への移動が規制された状態でレール３に沿って滑らかに移動できるようになっている。 The suspension member 34 is inserted into the rail 3 with the shaft portion 34b protruding downward through the opening 3d of the rail 3, so that the front and rear rollers 34c and 34c bend the rail 3 in the rail 3. Since the guide members 34d and 34d are fitted and inserted into the front and rear groove portions 3f and 3f, respectively, while being placed on the portions 3e and 3e, they move smoothly along the rail 3 in a state where the movement in the front-rear direction is restricted. You can do it.

尚、吊支部材３４には、前後一対のローラ３４ｃ，３４ｃと直交する方向に回転する一対のローラ３４ｃ’，３４ｃ’が設けられており、該ローラ３４ｃ’，３４ｃ’は、例えば、前述したレール３の一方の端部に設けられる格納レール３５に間仕切パネル２，２，…を格納する際に、間仕切パネル２，２，…をレール３の延伸方向に直交する方向に移動させるために使用されるものである。 The suspension member 34 is provided with a pair of rollers 34c'and 34c' that rotate in a direction orthogonal to the pair of front and rear rollers 34c and 34c, and the rollers 34c'and 34c' are described above, for example. Used to move the partition panels 2, 2, ... In a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the rail 3 when the partition panels 2, 2, ... Are stored in the storage rail 35 provided at one end of the rail 3. Is to be done.

また、最後尾の間仕切パネル２’は、上端面２ｂに左右方向に所定間隔離間させて取り付けられた吊支部材３４，３４によりレール３の本体部３ｃに吊支されており、レール３の端部３ｂに吊支される側部閉塞部材１２と同様に前後方向への移動が規制されている。すなわち、側部閉塞部材１２と最後尾の間仕切パネル２’とがレール３に吊支部材３４により吊支されることにより、これらに作用する重力方向が一致するため、側部閉塞部材１２の側部（密閉部材２０の側端２０ａ）と最後尾の間仕切パネル２’の側部２ａとを揃えやすくなっている。 Further, the rearmost partition panel 2'is suspended from the main body 3c of the rail 3 by suspension members 34, 34 attached to the upper end surface 2b at predetermined intervals in the left-right direction, and is the end of the rail 3. As with the side closing member 12 suspended from the portion 3b, movement in the front-rear direction is restricted. That is, since the side closing member 12 and the rearmost partition panel 2'are suspended by the hanging support member 34 on the rail 3, the directions of gravity acting on them match, so that the side of the side closing member 12 It is easy to align the portion (side end 20a of the sealing member 20) with the side portion 2a of the rearmost partition panel 2'.

次いで、側部閉塞機構１の構造について図２及び図３を用いて説明する。図２及び図３に示されるように、側部閉塞機構１は、吊支部材３４によりレール３に吊支され、レール３に沿って移動可能な側部閉塞部材１２と、側部閉塞部材１２を左右方向に動作させる進退機構１３Ａ〜１３Ｃと、から主に構成されている。 Next, the structure of the side closing mechanism 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the side closing mechanism 1 is suspended from the rail 3 by the hanging support member 34 and is movable along the rail 3, and the side closing member 12 and the side closing member 12 Is mainly composed of advancing / retreating mechanisms 13A to 13C for operating the above in the left-right direction.

主に図３に示されるように、側部閉塞部材１２は、間仕切パネル２の上下方向に亘って延びる密閉部材２０と、該密閉部材２０の支柱１４側に設けられた支持部材２１Ａ〜２１Ｃと、密閉部材２０と支持部材２１Ａ〜２１Ｃとを側部閉塞部材１２の移動方向に接離可能にそれぞれ連結する一対の弾性部材２２，２２と、から主に構成されている。 As mainly shown in FIG. 3, the side closing member 12 includes a sealing member 20 extending in the vertical direction of the partition panel 2 and support members 21A to 21C provided on the support column 14 side of the sealing member 20. It is mainly composed of a pair of elastic members 22 and 22 that connect the sealing member 20 and the supporting members 21A to 21C so as to be in contact with each other in the moving direction of the side closing member 12.

密閉部材２０は、間仕切パネル２よりも上下方向に長寸であり、上下端がレール３の下面３ａ及び床面Ｆにそれぞれ接触しない程度に近接した状態で、側壁開口部５から移動規制端部４側に向けて進出可能になっている。また、密閉部材２０の移動規制端部４側の側端２０ａには、前述した凸型部材２５が取り付けられ、凸部２５ａが移動規制端部４側に突出している。 The sealing member 20 is longer than the partition panel 2 in the vertical direction, and is close to the lower surface 3a and the floor surface F of the rail 3 so that the upper and lower ends do not come into contact with each other. It is possible to advance toward the 4th side. Further, the above-mentioned convex member 25 is attached to the side end 20a of the sealing member 20 on the movement restricting end 4 side, and the convex portion 25a projects toward the movement restricting end 4.

密閉部材２０を側壁開口部５から移動規制端部４側に向けて進出させた場合、凸型部材２５が隣接する最後尾の間仕切パネル２の側部２ａに取り付けられた凹型部材２４と凹凸嵌合し、密閉部材２０の前後面により最後尾の間仕切パネル２’の側部２ａと側壁開口部５との間が閉塞されるようになっている（図６参照）。尚、密閉部材２０の内部には、図示しない吸音材が設けられており、閉塞時の遮音性が高められている。また、密閉部材２０の閉塞時には、その上下端とレール３の下面３ａ及び床面Ｆとの間に別体の閉塞部材をそれぞれ取り付けることにより、遮音性及び遮光性を高めるようにしてもよい。 When the sealing member 20 is advanced from the side wall opening 5 toward the movement restricting end 4 side, the convex member 25 is unevenly fitted with the concave member 24 attached to the side portion 2a of the adjacent rearmost partition panel 2. In addition, the front and rear surfaces of the sealing member 20 close the space between the side portion 2a of the rearmost partition panel 2'and the side wall opening 5 (see FIG. 6). A sound absorbing material (not shown) is provided inside the sealing member 20 to improve the sound insulating property at the time of closing. Further, when the sealing member 20 is closed, separate closing members may be attached between the upper and lower ends thereof, the lower surface 3a of the rail 3, and the floor surface F, respectively, to improve the sound insulation and the light shielding property.

支持部材２１Ａ〜２１Ｃは、密閉部材２０よりも上下方向に短寸を成し、密閉部材２０の支柱１４側に後述する進退機構１３Ａ〜１３Ｃの数に対応して設けられている。また、支持部材２１Ａ〜２１Ｃは、進退機構１３Ａ〜１３Ｃの第１リンク部３２，３２，…の端部３２ｂ，３２ｂ，…により上下方向の重心を外した一点の軸支部分Ｐ，Ｐ，…で軸支されている。 The support members 21A to 21C are shorter in the vertical direction than the sealing member 20, and are provided on the support column 14 side of the sealing member 20 in accordance with the number of advancing / retreating mechanisms 13A to 13C described later. Further, the support members 21A to 21C have one axial support portion P, P, ... In which the center of gravity in the vertical direction is removed by the ends 32b, 32b, ... Of the first link portions 32, 32, ... Of the advancing / retreating mechanisms 13A to 13C. It is supported by.

また、支持部材２１Ａ〜２１Ｃにおける移動規制端部４側の側面２１ａ，２１ａ，…の上下端近傍には、一対の弾性部材２２，２２がそれぞれ設けられている。 Further, a pair of elastic members 22, 22 are provided near the upper and lower ends of the side surfaces 21a, 21a, ... On the movement restricting end 4 side of the support members 21A to 21C, respectively.

弾性部材２２は、左右方向に付勢するコイル状の圧縮バネ２２ａと、該圧縮バネ２２ａに軸通されるボルト形状の軸芯２２ｂと、から構成されており、軸芯２２ｂの一方の端部２２ｃは、支持部材２１Ａ（２１Ｂ，２１Ｃ）を貫通するように螺着されている。 The elastic member 22 is composed of a coil-shaped compression spring 22a that biases in the left-right direction and a bolt-shaped shaft core 22b that is axially passed through the compression spring 22a, and one end of the shaft core 22b. The 22c is screwed so as to penetrate the support members 21A (21B, 21C).

また、軸芯２２ｂの他方の端部２２ｄは、密閉部材２０の側部２０ｂに穿設される貫通孔２０ｅと、密閉部材２０におけるハット形状の押圧部２０ｃの貫通孔２０ｆと、を貫通し、軸芯２２ｂの端部２２ｄに規制部材２０ｄが螺嵌することにより、軸芯２２ｂの端部が抜け止めされた構造となっている。 Further, the other end portion 22d of the shaft core 22b penetrates through the through hole 20e formed in the side portion 20b of the sealing member 20 and the through hole 20f of the hat-shaped pressing portion 20c in the sealing member 20. By screwing the regulating member 20d into the end portion 22d of the shaft core 22b, the end portion of the shaft core 22b is prevented from coming off.

このように、弾性部材２２，２２の弾性復帰力と、軸芯２２ｂ，２２ｂの抜け止めの構造とによって、密閉部材２０との間に所定の左右間隔が保持されるようになっている。 In this way, the elastic recovery force of the elastic members 22 and 22 and the structure of the shaft cores 22b and 22b to prevent the shaft cores 22b and 22b from coming off ensure that a predetermined left-right distance is maintained between the elastic members 22 and 22.

また、密閉部材２０と支持部材２１Ａ〜２１Ｃとの間には、リミットスイッチ２３，２３，…が設けられている。 Further, limit switches 23, 23, ... Are provided between the sealing member 20 and the support members 21A to 21C.

リミットスイッチ２３は、密閉部材２０の支柱１４側の側部２０ｂに取り付けられており、ここでは構造を詳細に図示しないが、移動間仕切装置１０の制御部（図示略）に接続される電気回路の開閉を行うマイクロスイッチ（図示略）を内蔵するスイッチ本体２３ａと、設置孔から密閉部材２０の支柱１４側に突出し左右に回動可能なヒンジ・レバー形の第１作動体２３ｂと、該第１作動体２３ｂの動作により操作されるプッシュプランジャ形の第２作動体（図示略）と、から構成されている。 The limit switch 23 is attached to the side portion 20b on the support column 14 side of the sealing member 20, and although the structure is not shown in detail here, the limit switch 23 is an electric circuit connected to a control unit (not shown) of the moving partition device 10. A switch body 23a containing a micro switch (not shown) that opens and closes, a hinge-lever-shaped first operating body 23b that protrudes from an installation hole toward the support column 14 of the sealing member 20 and can rotate left and right, and the first It is composed of a push plunger type second operating body (not shown) operated by the operation of the operating body 23b.

また、第１作動体２３ｂの先端は、支持部材２１Ａ（２１Ｂ，２１Ｃ）の軸支部分Ｐから遠い位置に設けられる弾性部材２２の近傍に向けて延びており、密閉部材２０と支持部材２１Ａ（２１Ｂ，２１Ｃ）との隙間が上下方向に亘って閉塞した場合にのみ第１作動体２３ｂが回動して第２作動体が操作されることにより閉塞完了状態が検知され、移動間仕切装置１０の制御部に閉塞動作の完了を知らせる閉信号が出力されるようになっている（図６参照）。尚、各リミットスイッチ２３から閉信号を受け取った制御部は、対応する直動モータ３０Ａ〜３０Ｃの駆動をそれぞれ停止させるようになっている。 Further, the tip of the first operating body 23b extends toward the vicinity of the elastic member 22 provided at a position far from the shaft support portion P of the support member 21A (21B, 21C), and the sealing member 20 and the support member 21A ( Only when the gap with 21B, 21C) is closed in the vertical direction, the first operating body 23b rotates and the second operating body is operated to detect the closing completion state, and the moving partition device 10 A closing signal is output to the control unit to notify the completion of the closing operation (see FIG. 6). The control unit that receives the closing signal from each limit switch 23 stops the drive of the corresponding linear motors 30A to 30C, respectively.

また、各リミットスイッチ２３により閉塞完了状態が検知された際には、移動間仕切装置１０の制御部により直動モータ３０Ａ〜３０Ｃへの電力の供給が停止され、後述するロッド３０ｂがそれぞれ正確な位置で停止・保持されていることから、前述した密閉部材２０と支持部材２１Ａ〜２１Ｃとを連結する各弾性部材２２，２２の圧縮バネ２２ａ，２２ａが蓄勢された状態で維持されており、圧縮バネ２２ａ，２２ａの付勢力より最後尾の間仕切パネル２’の側部２ａに側部閉塞部材１２を当接させた状態を維持できるようになっている。 Further, when the blockage completion state is detected by each limit switch 23, the power supply to the linear motion motors 30A to 30C is stopped by the control unit of the moving partition device 10, and the rods 30b, which will be described later, are in accurate positions. Since it is stopped and held at, the compression springs 22a and 22a of the elastic members 22 and 22 that connect the sealing member 20 and the support members 21A to 21C described above are maintained in a stored state and compressed. The side closing member 12 can be maintained in contact with the side portion 2a of the rearmost partition panel 2'by the urging force of the springs 22a and 22a.

また、進退機構１３Ａ〜１３Ｃにより移動規制端部４側に押出される支持部材２１Ａ〜２１Ｃの軸支部分Ｐ，Ｐ，…が支持部材２１Ａ〜２１Ｃの上下方向の重心からそれぞれずれていることにより、最後尾の間仕切パネル２’の側部２ａに当接した密閉部材２０には支持部材２１Ａ〜２１Ｃからそれぞれ偏荷重が作用するものであるが、上下の圧縮バネ２２ａ，２２ａは、同じ圧縮代で圧縮されるため、密閉部材２０による押圧力を上下方向に亘って略均一に調整することができる。 Further, the shaft support portions P, P, ... Of the support members 21A to 21C extruded to the movement restriction end 4 side by the advance / retreat mechanisms 13A to 13C are deviated from the vertical center of gravity of the support members 21A to 21C, respectively. An eccentric load acts from the support members 21A to 21C on the sealing member 20 in contact with the side portion 2a of the rearmost partition panel 2', but the upper and lower compression springs 22a and 22a have the same compression allowance. Since it is compressed by, the pressing force of the sealing member 20 can be adjusted substantially uniformly in the vertical direction.

主に図３に示されるように、進退機構１３Ａ〜１３Ｃは、図示しない電源から供給される電力により駆動する直動モータ３０Ａ〜３０Ｃ（アクチュエータ）と、直動モータ３０Ａ〜３０Ｃの動力を側部閉塞部材１２の支持部材２１Ａ〜２１Ｃに伝達するリンク機構３１Ａ〜３１Ｃと、からそれぞれ構成されている。尚、進退機構１３Ａ〜１３Ｃは、同一構成であるため、最上段に設けられる進退機構１３Ａについて説明し、他の進退機構１３Ｂ，１３Ｃについては説明を省略する。 As mainly shown in FIG. 3, the advancing / retreating mechanisms 13A to 13C have side portions of the linear motion motors 30A to 30C (actuators) driven by the electric power supplied from a power source (not shown) and the power of the linear motion motors 30A to 30C. It is composed of link mechanisms 31A to 31C that transmit to the support members 21A to 21C of the closing member 12, respectively. Since the advancing / retreating mechanisms 13A to 13C have the same configuration, the advancing / retreating mechanism 13A provided at the uppermost stage will be described, and the description of the other advancing / retreating mechanisms 13B and 13C will be omitted.

直動モータ３０Ａは、回転運動を直線運動に変換する図示しない台形ネジを内蔵するシリンダ３０ａと、台形ネジの先端に取り付けられシリンダ３０ａの端部から上下方向に直線的に進退可能に設けられるロッド３０ｂと、から構成される直動式のアクチュエータである。また、運動伝達の精度が高い台形ネジを使用したシリンダ３０ａによりロッド３０ｂを動作させているため、ロッド３０ｂを電力の供給が停止された際の停止位置で保持できるようになっている。 The linear motion motor 30A includes a cylinder 30a containing a trapezoidal screw (not shown) that converts a rotary motion into a linear motion, and a rod that is attached to the tip of the trapezoidal screw and is provided so as to be linearly advancing and retreating in the vertical direction from the end of the cylinder 30a. It is a linear acting actuator composed of 30b and 30b. Further, since the rod 30b is operated by the cylinder 30a using the trapezoidal screw having high accuracy of motion transmission, the rod 30b can be held at the stop position when the power supply is stopped.

シリンダ３０ａには、略コ字形状のブラケット３６が固定されている。このブラケット３６は、シリンダ３０ａが固定される固定部３６ａと、固定部３６ａの前後両端から左側に延出された対向する側壁３６ｂ，３６ｂ’と、を備えており、支柱１４に対して移動規制端部４側から嵌合し側壁３６ｂ側をボルトとナットにより固定されている。 A substantially U-shaped bracket 36 is fixed to the cylinder 30a. The bracket 36 includes a fixing portion 36a to which the cylinder 30a is fixed, and facing side walls 36b and 36b'extending to the left from both front and rear ends of the fixing portion 36a, and movement is restricted with respect to the support column 14. It is fitted from the end 4 side and the side wall 36b side is fixed by bolts and nuts.

リンク機構３１Ａは、長尺の第１リンク部３２と、短尺の第２リンク部３３と、から構成され横向き略入字状を成しており、第１リンク部３２は、一方の端部３２ａが直動モータ３０Ａのロッド３０ｂの先端に回動可能に連結され、他方の端部３２ｂが前述した支持部材２１Ａの軸支部分Ｐに回動可能に連結されている。また、第２リンク部３３は、一方の端部３３ａが支柱１４に設けられた連結部材３７に回動可能に連結され、他方の端部３３ｂが第１リンク部３２の長手方向の略中央部分に回動可能に連結されている。 The link mechanism 31A is composed of a long first link portion 32 and a short second link portion 33, and has a substantially horizontal character shape. The first link portion 32 has one end portion 32a. Is rotatably connected to the tip of the rod 30b of the linear motor 30A, and the other end 32b is rotatably connected to the shaft support portion P of the support member 21A described above. Further, in the second link portion 33, one end portion 33a is rotatably connected to a connecting member 37 provided on the support column 14, and the other end portion 33b is a substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction of the first link portion 32. It is rotatably connected to.

これによれば、直動モータ３０Ａのロッド３０ｂの上下方向の直線運動を受けて、リンク機構３１Ａは、第１リンク部３２と第２リンク部３３との協働により支持部材２１Ａの軸支部分Ｐに回動可能に連結される第１リンク部３２の端部３２ｂを、略左右方向に直線運動させるように力の方向の変換を行うことができる。 According to this, in response to the vertical linear motion of the rod 30b of the linear motion motor 30A, the link mechanism 31A cooperates with the first link portion 32 and the second link portion 33 to support the shaft support portion of the support member 21A. The direction of force can be changed so that the end portion 32b of the first link portion 32 rotatably connected to P is linearly moved in the substantially left-right direction.

次いで、側部閉塞機構１における閉塞動作について図４〜６を用いて詳しく説明する。尚、側部閉塞機構１の進退機構１３Ａ〜１３Ｃは、同一構成であるため、最上段と最下段に設けられる進退機構１３Ａ，１３Ｃのみ図示して説明する。 Next, the closing operation in the side closing mechanism 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6. Since the advancing / retreating mechanisms 13A to 13C of the side closing mechanism 1 have the same configuration, only the advancing / retreating mechanisms 13A and 13C provided at the uppermost stage and the lowermost stage will be illustrated and described.

図４に示されるように、側部閉塞部材１２及び進退機構１３Ａ〜１３Ｃによる閉塞動作が開始されると、先ず、前述した移動間仕切装置１０の制御部により進退機構１３Ａ〜１３Ｃを構成する直動モータ３０Ａ〜３０Ｃの内、最上段の直動モータ３０Ａのみが駆動される。 As shown in FIG. 4, when the closing operation by the side closing member 12 and the advancing / retreating mechanisms 13A to 13C is started, first, the control unit of the moving partition device 10 described above directly moves the advancing / retreating mechanisms 13A to 13C. Of the motors 30A to 30C, only the uppermost linear motor 30A is driven.

これにより、ロッド３０ｂが上方向に進出し、これに伴ってリンク機構３１Ａの第１リンク部３２の端部３２ａと第２リンク部３３の端部３３ａとが近づくことにより、第２リンク部３３が端部３３ａを支点に反時計回りに回動し、端部３３ｂが上方向に移動する。 As a result, the rod 30b advances upward, and the end portion 32a of the first link portion 32 of the link mechanism 31A and the end portion 33a of the second link portion 33 approach each other accordingly, so that the second link portion 33 Rotates counterclockwise with the end 33a as a fulcrum, and the end 33b moves upward.

第２リンク部３３の端部３３ｂの上方向への移動により、端部３３ｂに軸支された第１リンク部３２の端部３２ｂが移動規制端部４の方向に移動する。すなわち、直動モータ３０Ａが駆動されることによるロッド３０ｂの移動の力の方向（上下方向）が、第１リンク部３２の端部３２ｂを移動規制端部４の方向（左右方向）に移動させるような方向の力に変換され、側部閉塞部材１２が移動規制端部４の方向に進出する。このとき、制御部により最上段の直動モータ３０Ａのみが駆動されていることから、側部閉塞部材１２の上端側のみが先行して移動規制端部４の方向に進出することになる。 By moving the end portion 33b of the second link portion 33 upward, the end portion 32b of the first link portion 32 pivotally supported by the end portion 33b moves in the direction of the movement restricting end portion 4. That is, the direction of the moving force of the rod 30b due to the driving of the linear motion motor 30A (vertical direction) moves the end portion 32b of the first link portion 32 in the direction of the movement restricting end portion 4 (horizontal direction). It is converted into a force in such a direction, and the side closing member 12 advances in the direction of the movement restricting end portion 4. At this time, since only the uppermost linear motor 30A is driven by the control unit, only the upper end side of the side closing member 12 advances in the direction of the movement restricting end portion 4 in advance.

次に、移動間仕切装置１０の制御部は所定の時間経過すると、最上段の直動モータ３０Ａの駆動を継続させたまま、図示しない中段の進退機構１３Ｂと最下段の進退機構１３Ｃを構成する直動モータ３０Ｂ，３０Ｃを上方から順次駆動していき、直動モータ３０Ａ〜３０Ｃの駆動タイミングをずらす制御を行う。 Next, after a lapse of a predetermined time, the control unit of the moving partition device 10 constitutes the middle-stage advance / retreat mechanism 13B and the lowermost-stage advance / retreat mechanism 13C, which are not shown, while continuing to drive the uppermost linear motor 30A. The dynamic motors 30B and 30C are sequentially driven from above, and control is performed to shift the drive timings of the linear motors 30A to 30C.

尚、前述したように、直動モータ３０Ａ〜３０Ｃは電力が供給されていない状態では、シリンダ３０ａとロッド３０ｂとの相対位置が移動しないようになっており、最上段の直動モータ３０Ａのみが駆動されると側部閉塞部材１２の上端側が先行して移動規制端部４の方向に進出する。このとき、中段、最下段のリンク機構３１Ｂ，３１Ｃは移動・変形することがなく、直動モータ３０Ａ〜３０Ｃの駆動タイミングをずらすことによりリンク機構３１Ａ〜３１Ｃの変形量を段階的に調整することができる。 As described above, the linear motion motors 30A to 30C are designed so that the relative positions of the cylinder 30a and the rod 30b do not move when power is not supplied, and only the top-level linear motion motor 30A is used. When driven, the upper end side of the side closing member 12 advances in the direction of the movement restricting end 4 in advance. At this time, the link mechanisms 31B and 31C in the middle and lowermost stages do not move or deform, and the amount of deformation of the link mechanisms 31A to 31C is adjusted stepwise by shifting the drive timing of the linear motion motors 30A to 30C. Can be done.

また、側部閉塞部材１２を構成する密閉部材２０は、吊支部材３４を介してレール３に一点で吊支されているため、移動規制端部４側に傾動しやすくなっており、上述したように直動モータ３０Ａ〜３０Ｃの駆動タイミングをずらしてリンク機構３１Ａ〜３１Ｃの変形量を段階的に調整することにより、側部閉塞部材１２の上端側のみを先行して移動させて移動規制端部４側に前のめり状に傾斜させることができる。 Further, since the sealing member 20 constituting the side closing member 12 is suspended from the rail 3 at one point via the suspension member 34, it is easy to tilt toward the movement restricting end 4 side, which is described above. By shifting the drive timing of the linear motion motors 30A to 30C and adjusting the amount of deformation of the link mechanisms 31A to 31C step by step, only the upper end side of the side closing member 12 is moved in advance to move the movement restricting end. It can be tilted forward toward the portion 4 side.

これにより、図５に示されるように、直動モータ３０Ａ〜３０Ｃに連結される第１リンク部３２，３２，…の端部３２ｂ，３２ｂ，…の移動規制端部４側への移動量が上方から段階的に大きくなるように調整され、側部閉塞部材１２が前のめり状に傾斜させたまま、移動規制端部４の方向に進出される。尚、図４及び図５においては、説明を分かり易くするために傾斜を極端に図示している。 As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the amount of movement of the ends 32b, 32b, ... Of the first link portions 32, 32, ... Connected to the linear motors 30A to 30C to the movement restricting end 4 side is reduced. It is adjusted so as to gradually increase from above, and the side closing member 12 advances in the direction of the movement restricting end 4 while being inclined forward. In addition, in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the inclination is shown extremely in order to make the explanation easy to understand.

そして、側部閉塞部材１２を移動規制端部４の方向にさらに進出させることにより、密閉部材２０の側端２０ａに設けられた凸型部材２５の凸部２５ａと、最後尾の間仕切パネル２’の側部２ａに設けられた凹型部材２４の凹部２４ａとが、上端側で部分的に凹凸嵌合し、側部閉塞部材１２の上端側のみが間仕切パネル２’の側部２ａに先行して当接する。 Then, by further advancing the side closing member 12 in the direction of the movement restricting end 4, the convex portion 25a of the convex member 25 provided at the side end 20a of the sealing member 20 and the rearmost partition panel 2' The concave portion 24a of the concave member 24 provided on the side portion 2a of the side portion 2a is partially unevenly fitted on the upper end side, and only the upper end side of the side closing member 12 precedes the side portion 2a of the partition panel 2'. Abut.

上述したように、側部閉塞部材１２の上端側を最後尾の間仕切パネル２’の側部２ａに当接させたまま、直動モータ３０Ａ〜３０Ｃの駆動を継続させることにより、側部閉塞部材１２の上端側における移動規制端部４側への押圧力が大きくなり、最上段の進退機構１３Ａに対応する密閉部材２０と支持部材２１Ａとの左右の隙間がそれぞれ上下方向に亘って全て閉塞される。 As described above, by continuing to drive the linear motion motors 30A to 30C while keeping the upper end side of the side closing member 12 in contact with the side portion 2a of the rearmost partition panel 2', the side closing member The pressing force on the movement restricting end 4 side on the upper end side of 12 becomes large, and the left and right gaps between the sealing member 20 and the support member 21A corresponding to the uppermost advancing / retreating mechanism 13A are all closed in the vertical direction. To.

密閉部材２０と支持部材２１Ａとの左右の隙間が上下方向に亘って全て閉塞されたことに伴い、最上段の進退機構１３Ａに対応するリミットスイッチ２３の第１作動体２３ｂが回動してプッシュプランジャ形作動体（図示略）が操作されて閉塞完了状態が検知される。そして、この検知情報に基づき移動間仕切装置１０の制御部に閉信号が送られ、最上段の直動モータ３０Ａの駆動が停止される。 As the left and right gaps between the sealing member 20 and the supporting member 21A are all closed in the vertical direction, the first operating body 23b of the limit switch 23 corresponding to the uppermost advancing / retreating mechanism 13A rotates and pushes. The plunger type operating body (not shown) is operated to detect the blockage completion state. Then, a closing signal is sent to the control unit of the moving partition device 10 based on this detection information, and the driving of the uppermost linear motor 30A is stopped.

また、最上段の直動モータ３０Ａの駆動が停止された後も下方側の直動モータ３０Ｂ，３０Ｃの駆動は継続されているため、第１リンク部３２，３２の端部３２ｂ，３２ｂが移動規制端部４の方向に移動していくことにより、下方側の進退機構１３Ｂ、１３Ｃに対応するリミットスイッチ２３，２３により閉塞完了状態が上方から順次検知され、直動モータ３０Ｂ，３０Ｃの駆動が上方から順次停止されていく。 Further, since the driving of the lower linear motors 30B and 30C is continued even after the drive of the uppermost linear motor 30A is stopped, the ends 32b and 32b of the first link portions 32 and 32 move. By moving in the direction of the regulation end 4, the limit switches 23 and 23 corresponding to the lower advance / retreat mechanisms 13B and 13C sequentially detect the closed state from above, and drive the linear motors 30B and 30C. It will be stopped sequentially from above.

これにより、側部閉塞部材１２は、最後尾の間仕切パネル２’の側部２ａに先行して当接させた上端側を支点に回動するように下端側が移動規制端部４の方向に進出していく。このとき、側部閉塞部材１２と最後尾の間仕切パネル２’は、それぞれ同じレール３に吊支されていることから、互いの前後方向の位置が一致し易い。さらに、吊支部材３４を中心とする振れ幅が小さい上端側の対向端部同士が先に揃うため、側部閉塞部材１２と最後尾の間仕切パネル２’の側方位置が上下方向に亘って確実に揃い易くなっている。 As a result, the lower end side of the side closing member 12 advances in the direction of the movement restricting end portion 4 so as to rotate around the upper end side that is brought into contact with the side portion 2a of the rearmost partition panel 2'in advance as a fulcrum. I will do it. At this time, since the side closing member 12 and the rearmost partition panel 2'are suspended and supported by the same rail 3, the positions in the front-rear direction are likely to match each other. Further, since the facing ends on the upper end side having a small swing width centered on the suspension member 34 are aligned first, the lateral positions of the side closing member 12 and the rearmost partition panel 2'are extended in the vertical direction. It is surely easy to align.

そして、図６に示されるように、側部閉塞部材１２と最後尾の間仕切パネル２’の対向端部同士が上下方向に亘って揃えられた状態で、進退機構１３Ａ〜１３Ｃにより側部閉塞部材１２が最後尾の間仕切パネル２’の側部２ａに対して略平行な力で移動規制端部４の方向に押圧された状態となり、間仕切パネル２’と側壁開口部５との間が側部閉塞部材１２により閉塞されることにより、側部閉塞部材１２及び進退機構１３Ａ〜１３Ｃによる閉塞動作が完了する。 Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the side closing members 12 and the rearmost partition panel 2'are aligned with each other in the vertical direction by the advancing / retreating mechanisms 13A to 13C. 12 is pressed in the direction of the movement restricting end 4 by a force substantially parallel to the side portion 2a of the rearmost partition panel 2', and the side portion is between the partition panel 2'and the side wall opening 5. By closing by the closing member 12, the closing operation by the side closing member 12 and the advancing / retreating mechanisms 13A to 13C is completed.

また、本実施例において、間仕切パネル２，２，…，２’は、レール３及び床面Ｆとの間の上下の隙間を閉塞する図示しない閉塞部材を備えており、側部閉塞部材１２によって間仕切パネル２，２，…，２’がそれぞれ移動規制端部４の方向に押圧され、間仕切パネル２，２，…，２’の側方の当接部分が上下左右に亘り精度良く位置決めされた状態で上記閉塞部材により上下の隙間を閉塞させることができるため、間仕切パネル２，２，…，２’の上下及び側方の隙間を高い精度で閉塞することができる。 Further, in the present embodiment, the partition panels 2, 2, ..., 2'are provided with a closing member (not shown) that closes the upper and lower gaps between the rail 3 and the floor surface F, and the side closing member 12 is used. The partition panels 2, 2, ..., 2'are pressed in the direction of the movement restricting end 4, respectively, and the side contact portions of the partition panels 2, 2, ..., 2'are positioned with high accuracy in the vertical and horizontal directions. Since the upper and lower gaps can be closed by the closing member in this state, the upper and lower and side gaps of the partition panels 2, 2, ..., 2'can be closed with high accuracy.

以上説明したように、間仕切パネル２，２，…，２’と側部閉塞部材１２は、いずれも同じ延伸方向上のレール３に案内されて移動することにより、最後尾の間仕切パネル２’の側部２ａと側部閉塞部材１２を構成する密閉部材２０の側端２０ａとを上下に亘り精度よく合わせることができ、最後尾の間仕切パネル２’と側壁開口部５との間を確実に閉塞できる。 As described above, the partition panels 2, 2, ..., 2'and the side closing member 12 are both guided by the rail 3 in the same stretching direction and move to the rearmost partition panel 2'. The side portion 2a and the side end 20a of the sealing member 20 constituting the side closing member 12 can be accurately aligned vertically, and the rearmost partition panel 2'and the side wall opening 5 can be reliably closed. it can.

また、最後尾の間仕切パネル２’の側部２ａと密閉部材２０の側端２０ａは、当接する際に凸型部材２５の凸部２５ａが凹型部材２４の凹部２４ａに誘導されるように凹凸嵌合するため、側部閉塞部材１２の上端側を、最後尾の間仕切パネル２’の側部２ａに側方位置を上下に亘って精度よく揃えられる。 Further, the side portion 2a of the rearmost partition panel 2'and the side end 20a of the sealing member 20 are unevenly fitted so that the convex portion 25a of the convex member 25 is guided to the concave portion 24a of the concave member 24 when abutting against each other. Therefore, the upper end side of the side closing member 12 is accurately aligned vertically with the side portion 2a of the rearmost partition panel 2'.

また、側部閉塞部材１２は、レール３の延伸方向上に設けられる支柱１４とリンク機構３１Ａ〜３１Ｃを介して接続されているため、レール３に沿って移動する側部閉塞部材１２にリンク機構３１Ａ〜３１Ｃを介して直動モータ３０Ａ〜３０Ｃの動力を効率よく伝えることができる。 Further, since the side closing member 12 is connected to the support column 14 provided in the extending direction of the rail 3 via the link mechanisms 31A to 31C, the link mechanism is connected to the side closing member 12 moving along the rail 3. The power of the linear motors 30A to 30C can be efficiently transmitted via 31A to 31C.

また、レール３の延伸方向上に支柱１４とリンク機構３１Ａ〜３１Ｃと側部閉塞部材１２が直線状に配置されるため、側部閉塞機構１の厚みを小さく構成することができる。 Further, since the support column 14, the link mechanisms 31A to 31C, and the side closing member 12 are arranged linearly in the extending direction of the rail 3, the thickness of the side closing mechanism 1 can be reduced.

また、側部閉塞部材１２は、吊支部材３４によりレール３に吊支されており、荷重の大半をレール３に支持させることができ、わずかな力でもレール３に沿って移動させることができるため、リンク機構３１Ａ〜３１Ｃを用いて直動モータ３０Ａ〜３０Ｃの動作方向を変換する構成であっても容易に側部閉塞部材１２を移動させることができる。 Further, the side closing member 12 is suspended from the rail 3 by the suspension member 34, and most of the load can be supported by the rail 3, and the side closing member 12 can be moved along the rail 3 with a slight force. Therefore, the side closing member 12 can be easily moved even in a configuration in which the operating directions of the linear motion motors 30A to 30C are changed by using the link mechanisms 31A to 31C.

また、リンク機構３１Ａ〜３１Ｃに側部閉塞部材１２の荷重を支持させる必要がないため、リンク機構３１の強度を高める必要がないとともに、直動モータ３０Ａ〜３０Ｃによる動力も小さくて済むため、進退機構１３Ａ〜１３Ｃを小さく構成することができる。 Further, since it is not necessary for the link mechanisms 31A to 31C to support the load of the side closing member 12, it is not necessary to increase the strength of the link mechanism 31, and the power generated by the linear motion motors 30A to 30C is also small. The mechanisms 13A to 13C can be made smaller.

このように、側部閉塞機構１を小さく構成できるため、間仕切パネル２，２，…にガラス面を有する透光性パネル等を使用した際に、移動規制端部４から側壁開口部５まで左右方向に亘って透光性・装飾性に優れた壁面を形成することができる。 Since the side closing mechanism 1 can be made small in this way, when a translucent panel having a glass surface or the like is used for the partition panels 2, 2, ..., The left and right from the movement restricting end 4 to the side wall opening 5 are left and right. It is possible to form a wall surface having excellent translucency and decorativeness in all directions.

尚、間仕切パネル２’と側部閉塞部材１２の閉塞状態を解除する動作は、上述した閉塞動作の逆の順序で動作させる方法に限らず、退入時には側部閉塞部材１２を略平行に移動させるように進退機構を制御してもよい。また、この場合、所定の開検知スイッチ等を設けることにより密閉部材２０全体が側壁開口部５から空間Ｘ内に退入して閉塞状態の解除が完了したことを検知できるようにしてもよい。 The operation of releasing the closed state of the partition panel 2'and the side closing member 12 is not limited to the method of operating in the reverse order of the closing operation described above, and the side closing member 12 is moved substantially in parallel when moving in and out. The advancing / retreating mechanism may be controlled so as to cause the movement. Further, in this case, by providing a predetermined open detection switch or the like, it may be possible to detect that the entire sealing member 20 has moved in and out of the space X from the side wall opening 5 to complete the release of the closed state.

また、側部閉塞機構１は、移動規制端部４と対向した位置に配置される側壁Ｗに凹設された空間Ｘ内に側壁開口部５から突出しないように配置される態様について説明したが、側部閉塞機構は、側壁開口部５から突出して配置されていてもよい。この場合には、側部閉塞部材の動作前の状態における側部閉塞機構の移動規制端部４側の側部が閉塞端部となる。 Further, the aspect in which the side closing mechanism 1 is arranged so as not to protrude from the side wall opening 5 in the space X recessed in the side wall W arranged at a position facing the movement restricting end 4 has been described. , The side closing mechanism may be arranged so as to project from the side wall opening 5. In this case, the side portion on the movement restricting end 4 side of the side closing mechanism in the state before the operation of the side closing member becomes the closing end portion.
