  In the sliding door device described in Patent Document 1, the first door is separated from the lower second guide rail for guiding the lower lateral moving body that positions the lower end of the second door alone via the parallel link. A lower first guide rail for positioning the lower end portion of the first door unit is provided via engaged portions provided at both ends of the single lower end portion in the door lateral movement direction. Therefore, the structure of the lower side moving body of the lower end portion of the door unit configured on the floor surface side of the storage space is complicated, and there is a disadvantage that the cost is increased. In addition, since the lower second guide rail and the lower first guide rail must be installed side by side on the floor surface, these guide rails cannot be laid on the floor surface. In this respect, the structure is complicated.

The present invention proposes a sliding door device that can solve the conventional problems as described above. The sliding door device according to the present invention includes an inner first lateral movement path, A second lateral movement path that overlaps the outside of one lateral movement path, a first door unit that can laterally move within the entire area of the first lateral movement path, and a front and rear between the first lateral movement path and the second lateral movement path The first door unit and the second door unit are connected in series in the first lateral path and are closed in series. From the fully closed state at the position, the second door unit at the series closing position is translated into the second lateral movement path, and the first door unit state where the first unit unit is overlapped with the second unit is opened. The second door single unit obtained by superimposing the second single unit translated in the lateral movement path on the outside of the first single unit at the series closed position. Into a gas state, in switchably configured pulled difference door device,
The second door unit is suspended from an upper side laterally movable body supported by the upper second guide rail so as to be laterally movable through a pair of upper side parallel links that pass horizontally through the upper side of the first door unit. The first door unit is connected to a lower side moving body that moves laterally by engaging with the lower guide rail via a pair of parallel links in the door lateral direction that passes horizontally below the first unit door. The lateral direction of the door is suspended so as to be laterally movable on the upper first guide rail via a pair of guide roller units, and the first door alone has an outer end side far from the second door alone when in the series closed position. A lower engaged portion that engages with the lower guide rail is provided at the lower end portion, and an intermediate guide rail is provided on the back surface side of the intermediate height in parallel with the door lateral movement direction, and is in the series closed position. At the inside of the inner edge of the first and second doors that are adjacent to each other The disposed a support member so as to location, has a structure in which an intermediate engaged portion which engages with the intermediate guide rail is attached.

  The sliding door device having the above configuration is used so as to close the opening of the storage space by the first and second doors alone in the series closing position, Similarly, the opening of the storage space closed by the first second door alone in the series closed position, the first door alone opened state in which the first door alone is moved inside the second door alone, The second door single body open state in which the second door single body is moved to the outside of the first door single body at the series closed position can be selected to open either the left or right half. According to the configuration, the lower engaged portion attached to the first door unit is located at both ends of the door in the lateral movement direction at the lower end side of the first unit at the series closed position. To engage the lower second guide rail that guides the lower end side of the second door unit via the parallel link. Thus, the inner end side is positioned in the depth direction by engaging the intermediate engaged portion on the support member side with the intermediate first guide rail attached to the first door alone. Is done.

  That is, in the situation where there is a first door unit in the series closed position where there are more opportunities for a person to touch or lean on the first door unit, the first door unit is in the lateral movement direction of the lower end side. Both ends are positioned with respect to the depth direction, and even if a person touches or leans on the first door alone, it does not swing to the back side. Of course, even when the second door is open, the first door is similarly positioned with respect to the depth direction at both ends of the door lateral movement direction on the lower end side. The lower end side of the door unit is only one end side in the lateral direction of the door (actually, the side projecting to the outside of the second door unit) between the lower engaged portion and the lower second guide rail. Although the engaging portion and the engaging portion of the intermediate first guide rail and the intermediate engaged portion are adjacent to each other, the positioning is performed with respect to the depth direction, and the opposite lower end side is not positioned. In the opened state of the first door alone, the second door alone overlaps the outside of the first door alone, so there is no risk of a person touching or leaning on the first door alone and swinging back. . As described above, according to the configuration of the present invention, the dedicated guide rail for positioning the lower end side of the first door unit can be surely positioned in the depth direction on the lower side of the first door unit. Is not required, the floor side structure becomes simple and can be implemented at low cost.

  When the present invention is carried out, the upper end heights of the first door unit and the second door unit are made higher than the top plate of the storage space. In addition to laying two guide rails, an upper first guide rail for supporting and guiding the first single door adjacent to the front end surface of the top plate can be continuously provided from the upper second guide rail. According to this configuration, the weights of the first and second doors can be reliably and easily supported by the top plate of the storage space, and the upper second guide rail and the upper second guide rail are provided below the top plate. Compared to the case where one guide rail must be installed, the guide rail itself and the guide rail mounting structure do not need to be strong enough to withstand the weight of the single door unit or the second door unit. Even when a heavy door is required, a safe sliding door device can be configured at a relatively low cost.

  Moreover, the lower end height of the single door unit and the single door unit is made higher than the floor plate of the storage space, and the lower guide rail of the upper open groove shape is formed on the floor plate at a position directly below the upper second guide rail. Can be buried. According to this configuration, the existing floorboard can be used as it is as the floorboard of the storage space as compared with the case where a lower second guide rail or the like must be provided below the floorboard. Thus, a structure in which no step is generated on the floor surface can be realized easily and easily.

  The support member is a first support member to which the intermediate engaged portion is attached, which overlaps with each other when the central portion in the frontage direction of the storage space, in other words, the left and right sides are opened. Since it is disposed at a position hidden inside the inner end of the two-door unit, this support member does not interfere with the taking in and out of the storage space. In particular, in the case of a storage space that requires a partition wall plate that divides the storage space into left and right parts, the front side portion of the partition wall plate can also be used as the support member.

In this manner, the bearing member 33 is fixed by the fastening bolt 33b in a state where the roller 34 is loosely fitted in the lower guide rail 13 on the floor plate 3 side.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 23B, the lock member 28 of the roller units 15A and 15B is raised to the upper limit height and fixed by the fastening bolt 27, whereby the upper end of the lock member 28 is moved to the upper first guide. It is made to approach the lower side of the horizontal overhanging plate part 12b of the rail 12. As a result, in order to lift the grooved rollers 23a and 23b of the roller units 15A and 15B from the protruding rail portion 12c of the upper first guide rail 12 and pull them forward, the first door unit 7 is lifted and locked. The upper end of the member 28 comes into contact with the lower side of the horizontal overhanging plate portion 12b of the upper first guide rail 12 and is blocked. Finally, the bracket 14c is lifted at the intermediate engaged portion 14 of the intermediate partition wall plate 6 and the bearing member 14d is adjusted in the front-rear depth direction, and the roller 14e is moved to the intermediate guide rail 21 of the first door unit 7 by itself. The bracket 14c is fixed to the intermediate partition wall plate 6 by the fastening bolts 14b and the bearing member 14d is fixed to the bracket 14c while being loosely fitted in the straight rail groove 21a so as to be able to move smoothly. When removing the first door unit 7, the work may be performed in the reverse order of the above work.

  The first door unit 7 set in the first lateral movement path 9 as described above can be laterally moved horizontally to the upper first guide rail 12 via the pair of roller units 15A and 15B in the lateral direction of the door. In addition to being suspended, the vertical posture of the roller 34 of the lower engaged portion 16 with respect to the lower guide rail 13 and the intermediate guide rail with respect to the roller 14e of the intermediate engaged portion 14 of the intermediate partition wall 6 The inside of the first lateral movement path 9 can be smoothly laterally moved while being held by the loose fitting 21.

  The setting of the first door unit 7 is as described above from the inner end of the second door unit 8 positioned in the second lateral movement path 10 (the end portion with the thin protruding plate portion 8a) side. This is performed at a position where the inner end of the first door unit 7 (the end portion with the recessed step 7 a) enters the inside of the second door unit 8. Therefore, the cam driven roller 52b of the control levers 52a and 57b connected from the pair of upper and lower parallel links 52 and 57 in the projecting posture on the inner end side of the second door unit 8 positioned in the second lateral movement path 10. , 57c are located at a position slightly away from the back surface of the first door unit 7 located in the first lateral movement path 9, so that the cam driven roller 52b of the upper control lever 52a of the second door unit 8 The rail surface 18a of the upper rail 18 of the first door unit 7 is adjacent to the cam driven roller 57c of the lower control lever 57b of the second door unit 8, and the lower guide rail 20 of the first door unit 7 is The first door unit 7 is arranged in the first lateral movement path 9 so that the straight rail groove 20a is fitted from above.

  When the first door unit 7 and the second door unit 8 are set as described above, the inner end portion of the first door unit 7 is positioned on the front side of the intermediate partition wall plate 6 as shown in FIGS. Thus, the 1st door simple substance 7 is laterally moved to the one end side of the 1st lateral movement path | route 9, and this 1st door simple substance 7 is a half area | region of the storage space 2 between the vertical side board 4a and the intermediate partition wall board 6.

In this state, the first door single unit 7 suspended from the upper first guide rail 12 by the roller units 15A and 15B has the intermediate engaged portion 14 on the intermediate partition wall plate 6 side as shown in FIG. The roller 14e is fitted to the inner end side end portion of the intermediate guide rail 21 attached to the first door unit 7, and at the lower end side of the first door unit 7, as shown in FIG. Since the roller 34 of the lower engaged portion 16 on the side is fitted to the end of the lower guide rail 13 on the floor plate 3 side, the vertical posture of the first door unit 7 is reliably maintained.

  Next, the inner end of the second door unit 8 positioned in the second lateral movement path 10 with the inner end side covering the outer side of the first door unit 7 is positioned on the front side of the intermediate partition wall plate 6. Thus, when it is laterally moved in the second lateral movement path 10 in the opposite direction to the first door single body 7, the cam driven roller 52 b of the control lever 52 a of the upper lateral movement body 51 is in the upper rail 18 of the first door single body 7. While rolling on the rail surface 18a, the cam driven roller 57c of the control lever 57b of the lower laterally moving body 56 moves in the linear rail groove 20a in the lower guide rail 20 of the first door unit 7, thereby Since each of the parallel links 52, 53, 57, 58 holding the posture of the door unit 8 cannot change from the projecting posture to the retracted posture, the second door unit 8 is located outside the first door unit 7. To move linearly in the second lateral movement path 10 It made. When the second door unit 8 approaches the closed position shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, that is, the closed position that closes the half region of the storage space 2 between the vertical side plate 4 b and the intermediate partition wall plate 6, the upper side The cam driven roller 52b of the control lever 52a of the lateral moving body 51 enters the curved rail groove 37 of the upper cam rail 17 from the rail surface 18a of the upper rail 18 of the first door unit 7 and controls the lower lateral moving body 56. The cam follower roller 57c of the lever 57b enters the curved rail groove 19a of the lower cam rail 19 from the straight rail groove 20a of the lower guide rail 20 of the first door unit 7.

  Due to the above action, the second door unit 8 that laterally moves in the second lateral movement path 10 toward the closed position has the control levers 52 a and 57 b in the curved rail grooves 37 and 19 a of the upper cam rail 17 and the lower cam rail 19. As the cam driven rollers 52b and 57c enter, the parallel link 52 of the upper lateral motion body 51 and the parallel link 57 of the lower lateral motion body 56 swing from the projecting posture toward the retracted posture, respectively. The door unit 8 moves in parallel from the second lateral movement path 10 into the first lateral movement path 9. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, when the cam driven rollers 52 b and 57 c reach the end of the curved rail grooves 37 and 19 a, the second door unit 8 is positioned at the closed position in the first lateral movement path 9. The closed position in the first lateral movement path 9 in a state of being in series with the first single door unit 7 is reached. At this time, as shown in the drawing, the thin protruding plate portion 8a at the inner end of the second door unit 8 overlaps the recessed step 7a at the inner end of the first door unit 7, and the surfaces of the both door units 7, 8 are surfaces. It becomes one state.

The cam driven roller 52b of the control lever 52a on the inner end side of the upper side moving body 51 of the second door unit 8 is automatically locked at the end of the curved rail groove 37 in the upper cam rail 17 of the inner side of the first door unit 7. It is in the inside. That is, as shown in FIGS. 19A and 19B, the movable plate 38 of the automatic locking means 36 is held at the forward limit position displaced from the first door unit 7 to the back side by the urging force of the compression coil spring 39, and is curved. The cam driven roller 52b entering the concave groove 38a of the movable plate 38 from the rail groove 37 pushes the movable plate 38 through the cam surface portion 38b on the side surface of the concave groove 38a. The engaging portion 40 formed on the lower side of the movable plate 38 is switched to the unlocked state shown in FIGS. 20A and 20B. In this unlocked state, with respect to the stopper member 42 provided on the upper second guide rail 11, the engaging portion 40 of the first door unit 7 in the closed position is at a position slightly separated from the front side, Even if the first door 7 in the closed position moves to the side where the second door 8 is located, the engaging portion 40 can pass over the surface without colliding with the stopper member 42. It is in.

  On the other hand, when the second door single unit 8 reaches the closed position in series with the first door single unit 7 in the first lateral movement path 9, as shown in FIG. 27A and FIG. The guide roller 76 and the vertical shaft body 77 in the driven portion 48 on the second door unit 8 side enter the recessed space 84 (see FIG. 28A) in the control portion 78 on the upper second guide rail 11 side, and the guide roller 76 is The second door unit 8 is stopped at a fixed position by contacting the inner side surface of the lateral side wall 81 of the main body 80. The vertical shaft body 77 enters the opening 85 a in the recessed groove 85 on the upper side of the recessed space 84.

  As described above, the first door unit 7 and the second door unit 8 are arranged in series in the first lateral movement path 9, and the opening of the storage space 2 is fully closed. When opened toward the single unit 7, the cam driven roller 52 b of the control lever 52 a in the upper lateral body 51 of the second single unit 8 is in the closed position as shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B. As the upper cam rail 17 shifts from the recessed groove portion 38a of the movable plate 38 of the automatic locking means 36 to the curved rail groove 37, the parallel link 52 is retracted from the protruding posture through the control lever 52a. Begins to swing toward. At the same time, the cam driven roller 57c of the control lever 57b in the lower laterally movable body 56 of the second door unit 8 also moves in the curved rail groove 19a in the lower cam rail 19 of the first door unit 7 in the closed position. Thus, the parallel link 57 also starts to swing from the protruding posture toward the retracted posture via the control lever 57b. The swinging motion of the parallel link 52 of the upper lateral motion body 51 and the parallel link 57 of the lower lateral motion body 56 to the protruding posture at this time is synchronized with each other. As a result, the parallel links 52, 53 of the upper lateral body 51 and the parallel links 57, 58 of the lower lateral body 56 change from the retracted position to the projecting position in synchronization with each other, while As shown in FIG. 21A, the second door unit 8 is moved laterally along the side guide rails 13, and the thin protruding plate portion 8 a at the inner end thereof is a recessed step at the inner end of the first door unit 7. From the first lateral movement path 9 to the second lateral movement path 10, the translation is carried out diagonally forward so as to rise obliquely forward from the portion 7 a.

  The second door unit 8 opens in the second lateral movement path 10 by moving from the first lateral movement path 9 to the second lateral movement path 10 while moving obliquely forward, and the second door unit 8 reaches the second lateral movement path 10. However, as shown in FIG. 21A, the cam driven roller 52b of the control lever 52a on the second door unit 8 side moves from the cam surface 38b of the recessed groove 38a of the automatic locking means 36 on the first door unit 7 side. Along with the transition into the curved rail groove 37, the movable plate 38 of the automatic locking means 36 moves to the forward limit position by the urging force of the compression coil spring 39. As a result, as shown in FIG. 21B, the engaging portion 40 of the movable plate 38 is switched to the protruding action position approaching the upper second guide rail 11, and the opening direction of the first door unit 7 of the engaging portion 40 is changed. The right angle portion on the side overlaps with the right angle portion of the stopper member 42 on the upper second guide rail 11 side in the door lateral movement direction. Accordingly, the first door unit 7 in the closed position is opened from the closed position toward the first lateral movement path 9 which has become empty due to the movement of the second door unit 8 into the second lateral movement path 10. Even so, the engaging portion 40 on the first door 7 side comes into contact with the stopper member 42 on the upper second guide rail 11 side and is prevented from opening.

  The second door single unit positioning means 47 in the state shown in FIG. 27A and FIG. 27B by the opening movement accompanied by the parallel movement of the second door single unit 8 obliquely forward, as shown in FIG. 28A and FIG. The guide roller 76 and the vertical shaft body 77 of the driven portion 48 on the side of the single unit 8 are withdrawn obliquely forward from the inside of the recessed space 84 of the control unit 78 on the side of the upper second guide rail 11, and Does not obstruct the opening of 8. At this time, the vertical shaft body 77 does not enter the groove 85 of the controller 78, and can exit from the wide opening 85a of the groove 85 without any problem. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the second door unit 8 moves laterally in the second lateral movement path 10 and reaches the open limit position overlapping the outside of the first door unit 7 in the closed position. A half region of the storage space 2 closed by the second door unit 8, that is, a region between the vertical side plate 4 b and the intermediate partition wall plate 6 is opened, and the second door unit 8 is opened.

  When the second door unit 8 is opened outside the first door unit 7 as described above, the cam driven roller 52b of the control lever 52a on the inner end upper side of the second door unit 8 is While rolling along the rail surface 18a of the upper rail 18, the end of the upper rail 18 is reached on the outer end side, and the cam driven roller 57c of the control lever 57b on the lower inner end of the second door unit 8 is reached. Will reach the end of the linear rail groove 20a on the outer end side while rolling in the linear rail groove 20a of the lower guide rail 20 of the first door unit 7. Therefore, even if an unreasonable force is applied from the outside to the side where the first door unit 7 is located on the second door unit 8 that is in the middle of opening or has reached the opening limit position, the second door unit 8 is held in a vertical posture. The movement of the control levers 52a, 57b to the outside of the cam driven rollers 52b, 57c is caused by the movement of the parallel links 52, 53, 57, 58 in the protruding posture to the retracted posture. Since the 7 upper rail 18 and the lower guide rail 20 block, the second door unit 8 does not fall to the side where the first door unit 7 is located.

  As described above, after the second single door 8 starts to move from the closed position, the first single door 7 in the closed position opens from the closed position as shown in FIG. 21B. Since it is blocked by the engaging portion 40 in the automatic locking means 36 on the door unit 7 side and the stopper member 42 on the upper second guide rail 11 side, as shown in FIGS. The single door 7 and the second single door 8 at the outer opening limit position cannot be integrally moved in the direction in which the second single door 8 is closed. Therefore, from the state shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, only the second door unit 8 at the open limit position can be closed. The movement at this time is exactly the reverse of the movement of the second door unit 8 in the closed position, and the second door unit 8 moves laterally in the second lateral movement path 10 and then moves to the first position. The upper and lower cam rails 17 and 19 of the door unit 7 and the upper and lower both control levers 52a and 57b on the second door unit 8 side into which the cam driven rollers 52b and 57c are fitted are connected to the first from the second lateral movement path 10. It enters into the lateral movement path 9 while moving obliquely in parallel and returns to the closed position, and as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the first door unit 7 and the second door unit 8 are in a fully closed state. Become.

  From the fully closed state shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the half of the storage space 2 closed by the first door unit 7, that is, between the vertical side plate 4 a and the intermediate partition wall plate 6, contrary to the above. When the area is opened, the first door 7 in the closed position is moved to the side where the second door 8 is located. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 20A and 20B, the first door 7 side Since the engaging portion 40 in the automatic locking means 36 is in a state where it can pass through the front side of the stopper member 42 without coming into contact with the stopper member 42 on the upper second guide rail 11 side, the first locking portion 36 is in the closed position. The door unit 7 can be opened without any problem. Since the opening operation of the first door unit 7 at this time is relatively the same as when the second door unit 8 described above is opened, as shown in FIGS. 22A and 22B, The curved rail grooves 37 and 19a of the upper and lower cam rails 17 and 19 on the 7 side are connected to the parallel links 52 and 57 via the cam driven rollers 52b and 57c of the upper and lower control levers 52a and 57b on the inner end side of the second door unit 8, respectively. The first door unit 7 is opened while swinging from the retracted position to the protruding position. Accordingly, as the first door unit 7 opens, the second door unit 8 translates from the closed position to the outside, allowing the first door unit 7 to move laterally. The cam follower roller 52b of the upper control lever 52 of the second door unit 8 moves from the recessed groove portion 38a of the movable plate 38 in the automatic locking means 36 of the first door unit 7 into the curved rail groove 37 of the upper cam rail 17. As described above, the engaging portion 40 of the movable plate 38 moves forward as described above. At this time, the engaging portion 40 has already been moved to the upper second guide rail 11 side. Since it moves to the front side of the stopper member 42, it slides on the surface of the stopper member 42 and passes therethrough.

  The second door unit 8 at the time of the above operation is translated into the second lateral movement path 10 on the front side by the parallel links 52, 53, 57, 58 while receiving a pressing force in the opening direction of the first unit 7. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 29A and 29B, the guide roller 76 in the driven portion 48 on the second door single unit 8 side of the second door single unit positioning means 47 is in the control unit 78 on the upper second guide rail 11 side. The second door unit 8 rolls while being pressed against the inner side surface of the lateral side wall portion 81 of the main body 80 to linearly translate from the closed position to the front side. At this time, the vertical shaft body 77 in the driven portion 48 on the second door unit 8 side linearly enters toward the back end portion of the recessed groove portion 85 in the control portion 78 on the upper second guide rail 11 side. The second door unit 8 does not escape from the opening 85a unlike when the second door unit 8 is opened. As described above, the second door unit 8 linearly translates from the first lateral movement path 9 into the second lateral movement path 10 as the first door single unit 7 starts to move. The first door unit 7 enters and moves inside the unit 8, and finally, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a pair of upper and lower contacts on the outer end side of the second door unit 8 in the second lateral movement path 10. The contact members 49 and 50 are fitted in the recessed step 7a at the inner end of the first door unit 7 to stop the opening of the first door unit 7.

  With the above operation, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the first door unit 7 enters the trace of the closed position of the second door unit 8 in the fully closed state, and the first door unit 7 is moved to the outside of the first door unit 7. The two single doors 8 are overlapped and the first single door 7 is switched to the open state, and a half region between the vertical space plate 4b and the intermediate partition wall plate 6 of the storage space 2 is opened. In the open state of the first door unit 7 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the first door unit 7 in a state of being suspended from the upper first guide rail 12 by the pair of roller units 15A and 15B is shown in FIG. The roller 14e in the intermediate engaged portion 14 on the intermediate partition wall plate 6 side is fitted to the outer end portion of the intermediate guide rail 21 shown, and the lower engaged portion 16 on the lower end on the outer end side of the first door unit 7 is fitted. Since the roller 34 is fitted to the lower guide rail 13, the lower end side of the first door unit 7 is positioned in the direction with respect to the front and rear only at the position on the outer end side, and the inner end side is positioned. There is no means. However, when the first door unit 7 is in the open state, the pair of parallel links 52 and 53 of the upper lateral moving body 51 and the pair of parallel links 57 and 58 of the lower lateral moving body 56 are held in the vertical posture on the outside. Since the second single door 8 is covered, the inner first single door 7 is hardly subjected to a pressing force from the outside to the inside, so it can be said that there is almost no fear that the first single door 7 will fall inside. .

  In the open state of the first door unit 7 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, as shown in FIGS. 29A and 29B, the vertical shaft body 77 in the driven portion 48 on the second door unit 8 side of the second door unit positioning means 47. However, since it has entered the back end of the concave groove 85 in the control unit 78 on the upper second guide rail 11 side, the outer second door unit 8 cannot be laterally moved to the opposite side. Therefore, by pulling out the first door unit 7 and laterally moving it to the original closed position, the original fully closed state is restored. The operation at this time is only reverse to the operation when the first door unit 7 is opened from the fully closed state to the open state of the first door unit 7, and the first door unit 7 is brought into the closed position. From just before reaching, the second door unit 8 linearly translates from the second side path 10 into the first side path 9, and the first unit 7 and the second unit 8 move to the first side path. 9 to switch to the serial state.

  In the opened state of the first door unit 7, the movable plate 38 of the automatic locking means 36 included in the upper cam rail 17 of the first door unit 7 is in the forward limit position, and the engaging portion 40 is the upper second position. It is in the state which approached the guide rail 11 side. Accordingly, in the final stage when the first door unit 7 is returned to the original closed position, the engaging portion 40 in the state of approaching the upper second guide rail 11 side is the stopper member 42 on the upper second guide rail 11 side. However, as described above, the engaging portion 40 and the stopper member 42 are engaged with each other only when the first door unit 7 is opened from the closed position. When 7 is laterally moved in the opposite direction and returns to the closed position, the movable plate 38 provided with the engaging portion 40 moves backward against the urging force of the compression coil spring 39 and engages the stopper member 42 with the engaging portion. Since it is a non-return structure through which 40 can pass, the first door unit 7 can move sideways to its original closed position without any problem. When the first door unit 7 reaches the original closed position, the movable plate 38 returns to the forward limit position by the urging force of the compression coil spring 39, and the engaging portion 40 attempts to engage with the stopper member 42. However, at the same time, the second door unit 8 linearly translates from the second side path 10 into the first side path 9 and returns to the original closed position. The cam follower roller 52b of the control lever 52a at the inner end returns the movable plate 38 (engagement portion 40) in the automatic locking means 36 on the first door unit 7 side to the retreat limit position as described above, and automatically locks. The means 36 is switched to the unlocked state.

  The sliding door device according to the present invention is configured such that an arbitrary one of the two door units is laterally moved so as to overlap the other door unit from a state in which the opening of the storage space is closed by the two door units. The left and right halves of the opening can be opened, and when the opening is closed with two single doors, the two single doors are placed in series on a straight line, It can be used as a sliding door device that can be used.
