Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to environmentally friendly system furniture and its construction methods that improve space utilization and constructability. In particular, it relates to technologies associated with system furniture that can improve the utilization of desktop space and provide environmentally friendly temperature requirements for electronic devices and users. Background Technology

[0002] In modern society, the effective use of interior space and the ease of construction have become important issues. Furniture used in typical homes or commercial spaces often causes inconvenience due to inefficient use of limited space or complex structures. This is especially true in multifunctional spaces, where furniture that can be easily converted for various purposes is needed; however, most furniture has a fixed structure and limited functionality, restricting the flexible use of space.

[0003] In addition, furniture with environmentally friendly elements is being developed more frequently, but these pieces mainly focus on the environmental friendliness of the materials and lack solutions that simultaneously satisfy the convenience of installation and disassembly as well as space utilization.

[0004] For example, while existing eco-friendly desks and system furniture have successfully utilized natural materials, they have shown limitations in terms of constructability and versatility. Therefore, there is a growing demand for system furniture that can overcome space constraints and is easy to assemble and disassemble in various environments.

[0005] On the other hand, to make things easier for users, we tried to incorporate cooling functions into desks, but it was difficult to achieve this while maintaining the furniture's efficient structural design and durability. Installing a separate external cooling unit is inconvenient when cooling is needed, making it difficult to maintain a consistent environment in the workspace. In recent years, the demand for furniture using environmentally friendly materials has been increasing, leading to a need for system furniture that can be used in various work environments, including those with cooling functions.

[0012] The problem that the invention aims to solve

[0013] This invention aims to simultaneously improve the space utilization, workability, and environmental friendliness of existing furniture. Specifically, it aims to implement a system by installing a Peltier element-based cooling system within the top panel. This system comfortably maintains the user's workspace and allows the desktop to cool without a separate cooling device. In this way, our goal is to provide environmentally friendly system furniture that optimizes the workspace environment by reducing the temperature of the top panel surface during operation.

[0014] Methods for solving problems

[0015] The environmentally friendly furniture system according to the present invention, which improves space utilization and workability, comprises a top panel component with a predetermined area, leg components installed below the top panel component, and a head component installed above the top panel component.

[0016] Environmentally friendly system furniture that improves space utilization and construction is installed on the power supply unit and top plate component on one side of the furniture and in the space formed inside the head component, but includes a cooling device operated by the power supply unit, the leg components are set at a predetermined length in the Z direction so that the top plate component is located at a predetermined height above the ground, and one end of the top plate component in the Y direction is set at the same length as the top plate component in the X direction. The cooling device is characterized by a temperature reduction in the area of ​​the top plate component equipped with the cooling device.

[0017] Next, the cooling device includes a coolant chamber that receives a predetermined volume of water and a Peltier element that connects the cooling surface to the coolant chamber. The top plate component is divided into a first upper plate for mounting the head component and a second upper plate mounted at the end of the first upper plate. The environmentally friendly system furniture, which improves space utilization and workability, also includes a top plate connecting member connected to the first and second upper plates. The first and second upper plates are connected parallel to each other via the top plate connecting member. The interiors of the first and second upper plates form separate spaces. The head component is mounted on the first upper plate perpendicular to it. The upper plate connecting members are arranged at equal intervals along the X direction at the lower part of the upper plate component. The coolant chamber is divided into a first cavity disposed within the inner cavity of the first upper plate and a second cavity disposed within the inner space of the head component. The first and second cavities are arranged in the form of a ruler-shaped tube penetrating the first upper plate and the head component. Leg components are also mounted at the lower part of the upper plate connecting member. The upper plate connecting member has a predetermined thickness in the Z direction. The length of the leg components mounted at the lower part of the upper plate component is characterized by the sum of the thickness of the upper plate connecting member and the length of the leg components mounted at the lower part of the upper plate connecting member.

[0018] Next, the cooling device further includes a heating chamber for connecting the heating surface of the Peltier element and an insulating component to prevent heat exchange between the coolant chamber and the heating chamber. The heating chamber is disposed in a predetermined volume of water and is disposed within the internal space of the second upper plate. The insulating component is disposed within the space where the first upper plate and the second upper plate are in contact with each other. The first upper plate and the second upper plate are respectively disposed in recesses of predetermined depths. The top plate component is composed of carbon fiber composite material made using the core-skin method. The carbon fiber composite material is characterized by being made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composed of carbon fiber and epoxy resin.

[0019] Next, the environmentally friendly system furniture, which improves space utilization and workability, also includes a cup-type cooling device for cooling beverages in cups. The cup-type cooling device includes guides parallel to the top plate component and guides parallel to the top plate component at a predetermined distance on both sides of the top plate component's X-direction edge. The guides are arranged along the guides for moving along the upper surface of the top plate component in the Y-direction. The inner side of the guides is provided in the form of a rubber tube. A cold water pipe is provided connected to the second chamber and one side. One side of the cup-type cooling device has a guide that is inserted into and fixed to the head component, and the other side has a height adjustment component with a predetermined height, so that the guides and the top plate component are parallel. The cup holder has a cylindrical cup insertion hole with a predetermined diameter formed on the upper surface of the cup holder by collapsing to a predetermined depth.

[0020] Next, the cup cooling unit also includes a bracket separation module for separating the cup holder from the guide member. The bracket separation module is installed on one side of the guide member, but when a portion of the guide member is segmented, a first hinge for rotating in the X direction to the axis of rotation is formed. While passing through the second upper plate, a vertical cylinder is formed in the leg member by extending the form to be pressed to a predetermined depth. The height adjustment member is arranged in the vertical cylinder in a form that moves back and forth in the Z direction. The bracket separation module is arranged on the inner side of the vertical cylinder. The height adjustment member is connected to a spring. The vertical cylinder extends in the X direction to the side ventilation cylinder formed by the leg member. The side narrowing cylinder extends in the Y direction to form a horizontal cylinder, which is connected orthogonally to the height adjustment member on one side of the height adjustment member. However, the buckle exposed outside the leg member by the side narrowing cylinder and the second hinge set by the buckle in the Z direction of rotation of the axis of rotation also include the guide member having multiple cup holders. The guide member is characterized by including multiple fixing holes with the same diameter as the cup holder holes.

[0077] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0078] Figure 1 This is a concept diagram of an environmentally friendly furniture system that improves space utilization and workability according to the present invention.

[0079] Figure 2 Showing Figure 1 Installation status of the heating chamber and insulation components.

[0080] Figure 3 Showing Figure 2 The cup-type cooling device provided in the middle.

[0081] Figure 4 The display shows that the clamp separation module, as shown, Figure 3 As shown.

[0082] refer to Figure 1 According to the present invention, an environmentally friendly furniture system that improves space utilization and workability comprises a deck member 100 having a predetermined area, leg members 200 installed on the upper and lower parts of the upper deck member 100, and a head member 300 installed on the upper part of the upper plate member 100. This environmentally friendly system improves space utilization and the workability of a power supply device 600. The upper plate member 100 and the head member 300 are installed within a space formed inside the furniture. It may include a cooling device 500 operated by the power supply device 600.

[0083] Here, the leg member 200 is provided in the Z direction with a predetermined length, so that the bridge deck member 100 is located at a predetermined height above the ground.

[0084] The head member 300 can be disposed at one end of the upper plate member 100 in the Y direction, and its length is the same as the length of the upper plate member 100 in the X direction.

[0085] The cooling device 500 is characterized by a decrease in temperature in the area of ​​the top plate member 100 where the cooling device 500 is installed.

[0086] Next, the cooling device 500 may include a coolant chamber 520, which receives a predetermined volume of water and a Parthenos 510, wherein cooling surfaces are arranged to be connected to the coolant chamber 520.

[0087] Cooling using a Peltiersouza 510 is a cooling method that utilizes the Peltier effect, where heat is absorbed from one side and released from the other when current flows. A Peltier device is a structure consisting of alternating n-type and p-type semiconductors; when current flows, heat moves in one direction according to the movement of electrons. Thus, the temperature decreases as heat is absorbed on one side, while it increases as heat is released on the other side.

[0088] Based on this principle, when the cooling surface of a Peltier element comes into contact with a specific area, it can reduce the temperature by absorbing heat from that component. Since the absorbed heat is dissipated from the heating surface opposite the cooling side, a heat sink or fan is installed on the heating surface to release the heat to the outside, thus effectively dissipating heat.

[0089] The upper plate 100 can be divided into a first upper plate 121 on which the head member 300 is installed and a second upper plate 122 installed at the end of the first upper plate 121.

[0090] Environmentally friendly furniture systems that improve space utilization and workability may further include an upper panel connector 110 to connect the first upper panel 121 and the second upper panel 122 to each other.

[0091] The first top plate 121 and the second top plate 122 can be connected in parallel to each other through the upper plate connector 110.

[0092] The interiors of the first upper plate 121 and the second upper plate 122 can form separate spaces.

[0093] The head component 300 can be mounted on the first upper plate 121, making it perpendicular to the first upper plate 121.

[0094] The upper plate connector 110 can be set at the lower part of the upper plate 100 and is set at equal intervals along the X direction.

[0095] The coolant chamber 520 can be divided into a first chamber 521 disposed in the internal space of the first upper plate 121 and a second chamber 522 disposed in the internal space of the head member 300.

[0096] The first chamber 521 and the second chamber 522 are pipes made of purple pattern and can be provided in an interconnected manner by passing through the first upper plate 121 and the head member 300.

[0097] The outrigger rod 200 can also be installed on the lower part of the upper plate connector 110.

[0098] The upper plate connector 110 can be configured to have a predetermined thickness in the Z direction.

[0099] The length of the leg 200 installed on the lower part of the upper plate 100 is characterized by the sum of the thickness of the upper plate connector 110 and the length of the leg 200 installed on the lower part of the upper plate connector 110.

[0100] Next, the cooling device 500 may also include a heating chamber 540, which provides heating surfaces for connecting the Peltier element 510 and the coolant chamber 520 and the heating chamber 540 to prevent heat exchange between them.

[0101] The heating chamber 540 can hold a predetermined volume of water.

[0102] The heating chamber 540 can be located within the internal space of the second upper plate 122.

[0103] The insulating element 530 can be disposed in the first upper plate 121 and the second upper plate 122, in the space where the first upper plate 121 and the second upper plate 122 are in contact with each other in a recess of a predetermined depth.

[0104] The top plate component 100 is composed of carbon fiber composite material made using the skin-core method. The carbon fiber composite material is characterized by being made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composed of carbon fiber and epoxy resin.

[0105] The skin-core-skin method is a sandwich structure consisting of two thin outer layers (skin) and a lighter inner layer (core). This structure combines a high-strength outer layer with a lightweight core layer, which helps to ensure strength while reducing weight.

[0106] The outer layer (skin) is mainly composed of materials with good thermal conductivity and strength, such as metal, carbon fiber, and glass fiber, and is designed to resist external forces and pressure. The inner layer (core) is made of aluminum honeycomb structure, foam, or air gaps, which increases the rigidity of the entire structure while minimizing weight.

[0107] Carbon fiber composites are high-strength, lightweight materials made by combining carbon fibers with a resin matrix. Carbon fiber is a thin, long filament that is stronger and lighter than steel. It is primarily composed of a stacked structure bonded to a matrix such as epoxy resin, and due to its excellent thermal conductivity, it offers effective heat dissipation. Because of these properties, it is frequently used in applications requiring lightweight construction, such as aircraft, automobiles, and sporting goods, effectively improving structural stability, durability, and heat dissipation performance.

[0108] Next, eco-friendly system furniture with higher space utilization and ease of construction may also include a cup cooling device 700 for cooling beverages in cups.

[0109] The cup-type cooling device 700 is parallel to the top plate 100 on both sides of the top plate 100 in the X direction and in the Z direction at a predetermined distance. The guide 710 passes through the guide 710 on one side and crosses the upper surface of the top plate 100 in the Y direction along the guide 710. The cup holder 720 moves along the guide 710 on the upper surface of the top plate 100 in the Y direction.

[0110] The guide 710 can be provided in the form of a rubber tube on the inner side of the guide 710.

[0111] It may include a cold water pipe for communicating with the second chamber 522.

[0112] The cup-type cooling device 700 has a guide 710 on one side for inserting and fixing the head member 300, and a height adjustment member 731 with a predetermined height can be provided on the other side.

[0113] The guide member 710 and the top plate member 100 are parallel, and the cup holder 720 is recessed to a predetermined depth on its upper surface, characterized by forming a cylindrical cup insertion hole 721 with a predetermined diameter.

[0114] Next, the cup cooling device 700 may also include a support separation module 730 for separating the cup holder 720 from the guide 710.

[0115] The fixed seat separation module 730 is installed on one side of the guide 710, but the first hinge 732 is segmented and rotates in the X direction. A part of the guide 710, namely the vertical cylinder 734, extends in a recessed form to a predetermined depth of the support leg 200 while penetrating the second upper plate 122.

[0116] The height adjustment element 731 can be provided in the form of moving along the Z direction in the vertical cylinder 734.

[0117] A fixed seat separation module 730 is provided on the inner side of the column 734. A spring 738 is connected to the height adjustment member 731. A side ventilation cylinder 737 extends from the column 734 and the support leg 200 in the X direction. A horizontal column 736 extends from the side split cylinder 737 in the Y direction. The height adjustment member 731 is coupled to the height adjustment member 731 in an orthogonal manner. However, the latch 735 is exposed on the outside of the leg 200 through the side opening cylinder 737. The latch 735 provides a second hinge 733 to the height adjustment member 731, which can be further included to rotate in the Z direction to the rotation axis.

[0118] The guide member 710 is provided with multiple cup holders 720, and the guide member 710 is provided with multiple holder fixing holes 711 with the same diameter as the cup holders 721.

[0119] Referring to the accompanying drawings, embodiments of the present invention have been described in more detail.
