Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a moving wall, and more particularly to an automatic storage device for storing a large moving wall.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A movable vehicle is mounted on a ceiling rail at the upper end thereof, the movable vehicle is loosely fitted on a ceiling rail laid on a ceiling, and the movable wall can be suspended and moved on the ceiling rail. A plurality of moving walls are suspended and arranged on the ceiling rail, and a large space can be partitioned into a predetermined size. If no partition is required, these moving walls must be stored in the storage space.

When the moving walls are pulled out of the storage space and arranged at predetermined positions, or when the arranged moving walls are stored in the storage space, an operator presses the moving wall and moves along the ceiling rail. I do. In this case, when the moving wall is large and the height is particularly 10 m or more, a force acts on the lower end portion of the moving wall when the moving rail is moved in and out of the storing space. The pressing force acts on the surface of the moving wall, and the moving wall cannot be moved merely by being inclined by the pressing force. At least hard to move.

Therefore, a device for automatically moving a large moving wall into and out of a storage space is known. This is patent 28
No. 91153, which is a "moving partitioning device", comprising a "ceiling rail having an opening continuous with a bottom wall, a traveling body movably disposed in the ceiling rail, and a passage passing through the opening from the traveling body." And a moving wall suspended and supported by a ceiling rail via the traveling body and the hanging rod, and a position above the upper end surface of the moving wall that does not interfere with the hanging rod. An upright rod having its upper end inserted into the ceiling rail through the opening, and a movable wall drive disposed outside the ceiling rail to urge the upright rod at a required position to drive the movable wall. Mechanism. "

[0005] The moving wall drive mechanism described in the patent publication attaches a conveyor chain to a storage space on the ceiling,
And a biasing arm is attached to the conveyor chain,
The biasing arm can engage with an upright rod that stands on the upper end surface of the moving wall. Therefore, as the conveyor chain travels, the moving wall is pulled by the urging arm and moves along the conveyor chain, and is stored in a predetermined storage space.

[0006] At the upper end of the moving wall, an upright rod is engaged with which the urging arm of the conveyor chain is engaged. The upright rod fits into the guide groove (opening) of the ceiling rail and moves together with the moving wall. Therefore, as long as the traveling body (hanging vehicle) is loosely fitted on the ceiling rail, the upright rod cannot come off the guide groove,
As a result, it is not possible to provide L-shaped, T-shaped, and ten-shaped intersections on the ceiling rail. That is, the moving wall cannot pass through these intersections and change its direction because the standing rod cannot come off the guide groove.

That is, the moving wall drawn out of the storage space is limited to a case where the moving wall is arranged at a predetermined position along a straight ceiling rail. Then, the moving wall is stored along the storage rail along with the movement of the conveyor chain by the urging arm of the conveyor chain attached to the ceiling of the storage space, extending straight from the partition ceiling rail to the storage space. However, it is not possible to attach the conveyor chain so that the urging arm is engaged with the suspension vehicle without attaching the above-mentioned standing rod.

That is, since the turntable and the rotary device for turning the direction of the hanging vehicle for hanging the moving wall toward the storage rail are mounted at the position of the hanging vehicle, there is no space for mounting the conveyor chain. For this purpose, the erecting rod is erected from the upper end of the moving wall away from the hanging vehicle, and the conveyor chain is mounted so as to engage with the erecting rod. On the other hand, in the "moving partitioning device" according to Japanese Patent No. 2891153, there is a problem in that the storage space is partitioned via a wall, and the moving wall must be stored in the partitioned storage space.

[0009]

As described above, the conventional automatic storage device for a moving wall has the above-mentioned problems. The problems to be solved by the present invention are these problems. Even in the case of a moving wall that can be suspended and moved on a ceiling rail having a conventional L-shaped, T-shaped, and ten-shaped intersection, this problem is solved.
