Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a suspension panel reloading device disposed at a branch of a hanger rail for suspending a suspension panel and changing the traveling direction of the suspension panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a large room such as a hall or a gymnasium is partitioned by hanging panels to be used as a room of a desired size, a hanging panel is stored and used as a large hall, It can be used effectively and versatilely, for example, by arranging hanging panels for exhibitions.

In such a panel system, a rotatable runner provided on a suspension panel is caused to travel along a hanger rail provided on a ceiling, and the suspension panel is moved. T-shaped, L
In many cases, a transfer device for a suspension panel having a turntable is provided at the branch portion having a character shape or a cross shape.

When the runner of the suspension panel goes straight through the branch, the end of the branch of the hanger rail that enters the branch and the end of the branch of the hanger rail facing the hanger rail are connected to the suspension panel. And transfer through the runner. In addition, when changing the traveling direction of the runner of the suspension panel at the branch portion,
The runner that has entered the transfer device of the suspension panel is temporarily stopped and held in the transfer device of the suspension panel, and the turntable of the transfer device of the suspension panel is rotated and communicated with the end surface of the branch portion of the hanger rail to be moved. The runner is moved.

As described above, when the traveling direction of the runner is changed, the runner rotates together with the turntable.
It is necessary to hold the runner at the center of rotation of the turntable. However, the suspension panel of the conventional panel system has a height (or ceiling height) from the floor of the hanger rail of about 3 to 4 m. Was visually confirmed at the center of the turntable at the branch.

And a control unit for controlling the operation of.

In the above configuration, when the runner of the suspension panel is made to travel straight through the branch of the hanger rail, when a signal for causing the runner to travel straight is input to the control section, the control section determines the direction of the turntable and the runner. , The necessary rotation of the rotary drive unit and the fixing of the turntable are performed, and the turntable is passed through the runner by connecting the end faces of the branch portions of the hanger rails.
At this time, the holding portion of the runner is controlled by the control portion.
The operation of stopping and holding the runner passing therethrough is controlled so as not to be performed. Further, when changing the traveling direction of the runner, when a signal for changing the traveling direction of the runner is input to the control unit, the control unit detects the direction of the turntable and the position of the runner. The necessary rotation of the rotary drive device and the fixing of the turntable are performed, the turntable is connected to the end surface of the branch portion of each hanger rail, and the runner is moved from the end surface of the branch portion of the hanger rail to the turntable. When the center of the turntable is reached, the control unit controls the holding unit to hold the runner by stopping and stopping the movement of the runner in the front-rear direction.
Then, the control unit rotates the turntable by a predetermined angle by the rotation driving device, fixes the turntable, and connects the turntable to the end surface of the branch portion of another hanger rail, and then the holding unit fixes the runner.
