Disclosure of Invention

Technical problem

Among sliding doors, there is a sliding door in which: the sliding door moves forward or backward as viewed from the front of the sliding door until it reaches a closed position. When such a sliding door is used, for example, the sliding door can be pulled flat against the wall surface in the closed position of the sliding door, so that the appearance can be improved. It is also desirable to provide a pulling function to such a sliding door.

However, the conventional sliding door apparatus cannot pull the sliding door moving forward or backward (viewed from the front of the sliding door) while pulling it obliquely, even if the sliding door can be pulled linearly in the pulling direction. This is because the pulling device is disengaged from the catch when the sliding door moves forward or backward.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a sliding door apparatus capable of obliquely pulling a sliding door.

Technical scheme

In order to solve the above problems, one aspect of the present invention is a sliding door apparatus including a rail, a catch, and a pulling device, wherein the rail guides a sliding door to move in a pulling direction from an open position to a closed position with respect to a body, and guides the sliding door to move forward or backward until the sliding door reaches the closed position when viewed from the front of the sliding door; the catch, locate one of the above-mentioned body and above-mentioned sliding door, it is rod-like; the pulling device is provided on the other of the body and the sliding door, and pulls the catch while sliding axially so that the sliding door can move forward or backward.

ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION

According to the present invention, since the pulling device pulls the rod-shaped pawl while axially sliding, the sliding door can be pulled obliquely.

Detailed Description

Hereinafter, a sliding door apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the sliding door apparatus of the present invention can be embodied in various forms, and is not limited to the embodiments described in the present specification. This embodiment is provided merely for the purpose of enabling those skilled in the art to fully understand the scope of the invention by making the specification disclosure sufficient.

(embodiment 1)

Fig. 1 and 2 are perspective views of a sliding door apparatus 1 according to embodiment 1 of the present invention, as viewed from a lower side, in which fig. 1 shows an open position of a sliding door 2, and fig. 2 shows a closed position of the sliding door 2. Reference numeral 2 denotes a sliding door, 3 denotes a main body, 4 denotes an upper frame of the main body, 5 denotes an opening of the main body, and 6 denotes a wall of the main body.

The sliding door device 1 comprises rails 7a, 7b, a catch 8 and a pulling device 9'. The rails 7a, 7b are mounted to the body 3. A catch 8 is mounted to the body 3. The pulling device 9' is mounted to the sliding door 2. The catch 8 and the pulling device 9' are arranged outside the rails 7a, 7 b. A shutter 10 for covering the rails 7a and 7b, the catch 8, and the pulling device 9' is provided on the lower surface of the upper frame 4 in the opening 5 of the main body 3.

Rails 7a, 7b are mounted on the underside of the upper frame 4. The rails 7a, 7B guide the sliding door 2 to move in the pulling direction a (see fig. 1) from the open position to the closed position with respect to the main body 3, and guide the sliding door 2 to move toward the front B (see fig. 1) as viewed from the front of the sliding door 2 until the closed position is reached. The front view here means that the sliding door 2 is viewed from the front side. Fig. 1 and 2 are perspective views of the sliding door 2 as viewed from the back side.

The rails 7a and 7b include a door head rail 7a disposed on the door head side and a door tail rail 7b disposed on the door tail side. The rail 7a for the door head includes a linear rail 7a1, and an inclined rail 7a2 coupled with an end of the linear rail 7a1 and bent with respect to the linear rail 7a 1. The door tail rail 7b also includes a linear rail 7b1, and an inclined rail 7b2 coupled to an end of the linear rail 7b1 and bent with respect to the linear rail 7b 1. The linear rail 7a1 and the linear rail 7b1 are parallel to each other, and the inclined rail 7a2 and the inclined rail 7b2 are parallel to each other.

The door head rail 7a is internally provided with door wheels 11a for the door head and the door tail rail 7b is internally provided with door wheels 11b for the door tail. When the door head door wheel 11a and the door tail door wheel 11b travel along the linear rails 7a1 and 7b1, the sliding door 2 moves linearly in the pulling direction a. When the door head door wheel 11a and the door tail door wheel 11B travel along the inclined rails 7a2 and 7B2, the sliding door 2 moves obliquely and in parallel in a direction C inclined with respect to the pulling direction a and the front direction B. Since the inclined rail 7a2 and the inclined rail 7b2 are parallel to each other, the sliding door 2 is moved obliquely in parallel.

Fig. 3 shows the door closer door wheel 11a, in which fig. 3(a) shows a perspective view of the door closer door wheel 11a when viewed from below, and fig. 3(b) shows a side view of the door closer door wheel 11 a. The door wheel 11a for the door head includes a wheel body 21 and a pair of left and right rollers 22a and 22b rotatably attached to left and right side surfaces of the wheel body 21. The door wheel main body 21 is provided with a suspension screw 23 projecting downward. The suspension screw 23 protrudes downward from an opening 24 (see fig. 1) of the door head rail 7 a. A bracket 26 is attached to the suspension screw 23 by fasteners 25a and 25 b. The bracket 26 is installed inside the sliding door 2.

The door wheel 11b for the door end has substantially the same structure as the door wheel 11a for the door head, and therefore, the same reference numerals are used and the description thereof is omitted. As shown in fig. 2, a bracket 27 is attached to the suspension screw 23 of the door wheel 11b for the door tail. The length of the bracket 27 protruding from the sliding door 2 is shorter than the length of the bracket 26 protruding from the sliding door 2. This is because the door end rail 7b is disposed closer to the sliding door 2 than the door end rail 7 a. Since the structures of the door wheel 11a for the door head and the door wheel 11b for the door tail are well known, they will not be described in detail.

Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of the pulling device 9, and fig. 5 shows a sectional view of the pulling device 9. Fig. 4(a) and 5(a) show the standby position of the catching member 32 of the pulling device 9, and fig. 4(b) and 5(b) show the pulled-in position of the catching member 32. The pulling device 9 includes a housing 31, a catching piece 32 slidably provided in the housing 31, and a spring 33 (see fig. 5) pulling the catching piece 32.

As shown in fig. 4, the housing 31 has a flat rectangular parallelepiped shape and extends in the pulling direction. An opening 31a for exposing the catcher 32 is formed in the upper surface of the housing 31. A pair of side walls 31b of the housing 31 are each formed with a groove 31c extending linearly in the longitudinal direction of the housing 31 and having a tip bent downward. As shown in fig. 2, the pulling device 9 is attached to the sliding door 2 via the bracket 30.

The catcher 32 is sandwiched between the pair of side walls 31b of the housing 31 and slides between the side walls 31 b. 2 projections 32a, 32b fitted into the grooves 31c are formed on a pair of side surfaces of the catcher 32. The sliding of the catching member 32 is guided by the groove 31 c. The posture of the catcher 32 is controlled by the groove 31 c. A U-shaped catching portion 32c for catching the catch 8 is formed in the catching member 32.

As shown in fig. 5, a spring 33 is present between the end 31d of the housing 31 and the catch 32. The spring 33 pulls the catch 32. A linear damper 34 is also present between the end 31d of the housing 31 and the catch 32. The linear damper 34 brakes the catching piece 32 pulled by the spring 33.

When the catcher 32 in the standby position catches the catch 8 as shown in fig. 4(a), the catcher 32 rotates as shown in fig. 4(b), the projection 32b of the catcher 32 is pulled out from the bent portion of the groove 31c, and the catcher 32 is pulled by the force of the spring 33. In the present embodiment, since the catch 8 is attached to the body 3, the housing 31 of the pulling device 9 moves in the pulling direction a (see fig. 1), and the sliding door 2 is pulled in the pulling direction a. The structure of the pulling device 9 is well known and will not be described in detail.

The pulling device 9 in fig. 4 is a pulling device 9 for closing that pulls the sliding door 2 only to the closed position. However, as shown in fig. 2, the pulling device 9 'may be an opening/closing pulling device 9' that pulls the sliding door 2 to both the closed position and the open position. At this time, as shown in fig. 2, 2 catching pieces 32 and 36, that is, a closing catching piece 32 and an opening catching piece 36 are provided in the housing 31, and 2 springs for pulling the 2 catching pieces 32 and 36 are provided in the housing 31. The sliding door 2 can be pulled to the open position by attaching a catch 37 (see fig. 2) that engages with the opening catcher 36 to the main body 3 side. The structure of the pulling device for opening and closing 9' is also well known and will not be described in detail.

Fig. 6 shows a detailed view of the catch 8, wherein fig. 6(a) shows a perspective view of the catch 8 from above and fig. 6(b) shows a side view of the catch 8. The catch 8 is shaft-like. The catch 8 is supported at both axial ends by the bracket 41. The bracket 41 has an コ shape, and includes a base plate portion 41b attached to the upper frame 4, and a pair of side plate portions 41a bent at both ends of the base plate portion 41b to face each other. Both end portions of the latch 8 are supported by the pair of side plate portions 41 a. As shown in fig. 1, in a state where the bracket 41 is attached to the main body 3, the catch 8 extends horizontally at right angles to the pulling direction a. By supporting both end portions of the catch 8 by the bracket 41, the catch 8 extending in the horizontal direction can be stably supported.

Fig. 7 shows the sliding door apparatus 1 with the sliding door 2 in the open position, fig. 8 shows the sliding door apparatus 1 with the sliding door 2 in the pulling start position, and fig. 9 shows the sliding door apparatus 1 with the sliding door 2 in the closed position. Fig. 7(a) to 9(a) show rear views of the sliding door apparatus 1, and fig. 7(b) to 9(b) show bottom views of the sliding door apparatus 1.

As shown in fig. 7, when the sliding door 2 is in the open position, the opening catch piece 36 of the pulling device 9' catches the catch 37. Therefore, the sliding door 2 is biased in the opening direction by the biasing device 9', and the sliding door 2 is held in the open position.

As shown in fig. 8, when the user moves the sliding door 2 in the pulling direction from the open position, the opening catcher 36 is disengaged from the catch 37, and the closing catcher 32 is engaged with the catch 8. The position of the sliding door 2 shown in fig. 8 is a pulling start position of the sliding door 2. In the pulling start position, the door head door wheel 11a is located in the linear rail 7a1 of the door head rail 7a, and the door tail door wheel 11b is located in the linear rail 7b1 of the door tail rail 7 b.

When the pulling device 9 'pulls the catch 8, the housing 31 of the pulling device 9' and the sliding door 2 move linearly in the pulling direction a indicated by the arrow. When the sliding door 2 is moved in the pulling direction a by the pulling device 9', the sliding door 2 starts to move diagonally along the inclined rails 7a2, 7b 2.

When the sliding door 2 is moved diagonally, the pulling device 9' pulls the catch 8 along the sliding edge in the axial direction D. Accordingly, the sliding door 2 is allowed to move obliquely (oblique direction C) along the oblique rails 7a2, 7b 2. At this time, the catching piece 32 of the pulling device 9' slides in the axial direction D of the pawl 8 in a state of catching the pawl 8. The housing 31 of the pulling device 9' (see fig. 4) moves obliquely (oblique C) along the oblique rails 7a2, 7b2 together with the sliding door 2.

The parallel movement start position at which the sliding door 2 starts moving obliquely is closer to the closed position side than the pulling start position. Accordingly, the pulling force can be made to act while the sliding door 2 is linearly moved in the pulling direction a, so that the user can easily close the sliding door 2. Note that the parallel movement start position may be disposed closer to the open position side than the pulling start position.

As shown in fig. 9, the pulling of the sliding door 2 by the pulling device 9' is continued until the sliding door 2 is moved to the closed position. The axial length of the catch 8 is longer than the amount of forward movement of the sliding door 2 to allow forward movement of the sliding door 2. In the closed position of the sliding door 2, the sliding door 2 is biased by the biasing means 9' and the closed position of the sliding door 2 is maintained. In the closed position of the sliding door 2, the front surface 2a of the sliding door 2 is flush with the surface 6a of the wall portion 6 of the body 3.

(embodiment 2)

Fig. 10 is a perspective view of a sliding door apparatus 51 according to embodiment 2 of the present invention as viewed from below. Fig. 11(a) shows a side view of the sliding door apparatus 51 of embodiment 2, and fig. 11(b) shows a bottom view. In these figures, the sliding door 2 is in the closed position. Reference numeral 2 denotes a sliding door, 3 denotes a main body, 4 denotes an upper frame of the main body, 5 denotes an opening of the main body, and 6 denotes a wall of the main body.

The sliding door apparatus 51 of embodiment 2 also includes rails 7a, 7b, a catch 8, and a pulling apparatus 9. The structures of the rails 7a and 7b, the door head door wheel 11a, and the door tail door wheel 11b are the same as those of embodiment 1, and therefore, the same reference numerals are used to omit descriptions thereof. Since the structure of the latch 8 itself is basically the same as that of embodiment 1, the same reference numerals are used and the description thereof will be omitted. The pulling device is the closing pulling device 9 shown in fig. 4.

The embodiment 2 differs from the embodiment 1 in that the latch 8 is attached to the sliding door 2 and the pulling device 9 is attached to the body 3. Even if the catch 8 is attached to the sliding door 2 and the pulling device 9 is attached to the body 3, the pulling device 9 can pull the rod-shaped catch 8 while axially sliding. Therefore, the sliding door 2 can be pulled obliquely.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment specifically realized in the above, and can be embodied in various embodiments without changing the scope of the inventive concept.

Although the sliding door is moved forward to level the sliding door with the wall surface when viewed from the front of the sliding door in the above embodiment, the sliding door may be moved rearward to level the sliding door with the wall surface when viewed from the front of the sliding door.

In the above embodiment, the sliding door and the wall surface are leveled at the sliding door closing position, but the sliding door and the wall surface may not be leveled at the sliding door closing position. For example, in order to improve the sealing property of the opening, the following steps can be performed: the sliding door is moved forward when viewed from the front, and the sliding door is brought into close contact with a gasket provided in a frame of the opening portion.

Although the sliding door and the wall surface are leveled at the sliding door closing position in the above embodiment, the sliding door and the adjacent sliding door may be leveled at the sliding door closing position.

The structure of the pulling device of the above embodiment is merely an example, and other structures, such as a buffer, may be adopted without changing the concept of the present invention.
