Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a private compartment device that realizes a capsule-shaped private space. Background Technology

[0002] For example, Patent Document 1 describes a human body storage structure for users to rest or sleep in a capsule-shaped narrow space.

[0003] Patent document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-29509. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention discloses an example of a novel structure that allows users to rest or sleep even within a narrow, capsule-shaped space.

[0005] The privacy compartment device preferably has at least one of the following components.

[0006] That is, the constituent elements are: a seat body (2) having a seat cushion (2A) and a seat back (2B) that can be displaced relative to the seat cushion (2A), and being able to change posture between a normal posture in which the seat back (2B) is upright and a comfortable posture in which the seat back (2B) is folded down compared to the normal posture; a privacy compartment (3) forming a space that covers the seat body (2) and houses the seat body (2), and having an opening (3D) at least in a portion facing the lower side of the front surface of the seat body (2); and a moving device (4) that enables the seat body (2) to move between a normal position away from the opening (3D) and a comfortable position closer to the opening (3D) compared to the normal position, and is able to perform a comfort function.

[0007] Furthermore, preferably, when the comfort function is in effect, the opening (3D) is in an open state, and the seat body (2) is in a comfortable position in a comfortable posture.

[0008] Therefore, in this private compartment device, the seat body (2) can be set into a comfortable posture without increasing the depth of the private compartment (3), that is, the size of the part of the private compartment (3) that is parallel to the front and back direction of the seat.

[0009] That is, in the comfortable posture, the seat back (2B) is in a state of being folded down compared to the normal posture, so the front-to-back dimension of the seat body (2) is larger in the comfortable posture compared to the normal posture.

[0010] In contrast, in this private compartment device, when the comfort function is performed, the opening (3D) becomes open, and the seat body (2) is in a comfortable position, thus becoming a state in which at least a part of the user's lower limbs are exposed from the opening (3D) to the private compartment (3).

[0011] Therefore, in this private compartment device, the seat body (2) can be set into a comfortable posture without increasing the depth of the private compartment (3). Thus, the user can achieve a relaxed and comfortable state.

[0020] This embodiment is an example of applying the privacy compartment device according to this utility model to a privacy compartment installed inside or outside a building (in this embodiment, inside a building). The arrows and diagonal lines indicating directions in the figures are provided to facilitate understanding of the relationships between the figures and the shapes of the components or parts.

[0021] Therefore, the privacy compartment device is not limited to the directions indicated in the figures. At least one of the components or parts described with reference numerals is provided, except where declared as "one" or similar.

[0022] (First Implementation)

[0023] <1. Overview of Vehicle Seats>

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the privacy compartment device 1 includes at least a seat body 2, a privacy compartment 3, a sliding device 4, and a covering component 5. The seat body 2 is a chair for the user of the privacy compartment device 1 to sit on.

[0025] <1.1 Seat Body>

[0026] The seat body 2 includes at least a seat cushion 2A and a seat back 2B. The seat cushion 2A is used to support the buttocks of the person sitting. The seat back 2B is used to support the back of the person sitting.

[0027] The seat backrest 2B is located at the rear end of the seat cushion 2A in the fore-and-aft direction and can be displaced relative to the seat cushion 2A. Furthermore, the seat body 2 according to this embodiment also includes a leg rest 2C.

[0028] The leg rest 2C supports the lower limbs of the seated person. This leg rest 2C is located on the front side of the seat cushion 2A in the fore-aft direction, and can support the extended lower limbs of the seated person in a position (see reference). Figure 2 ) and storage locations that do not require this support (refer to Figure 1 Displacement between (etc.).

[0029] Furthermore, the seat body 2 can be positioned in a normal posture (see reference). Figure 1 (etc.) and comfortable posture (refer to) Figure 2 The posture can be changed between these two positions. The normal posture is when the seat back 2B is upright. The comfort posture is when the seat back 2B is reclined compared to the normal posture.

[0030] Furthermore, in the seat body 2 according to this embodiment, the seat back 2B and leg rest 2C can be electrically moved. Therefore, the leg rest 2C automatically resides in a stowed position when the seat body 2 is in its normal posture (see reference). Figure 3 ), and automatically extends to the unfolded position when the seat body 2 is in a comfortable posture (see reference). Figure 4 ).

[0031] <1.2 Private Compartments>

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the private compartment 3 is a shell that forms a capsule-shaped (in this embodiment, a cylindrical capsule-shaped) space that covers the seat body 2 and houses the seat body 2.

[0033] Specifically, the private compartment 3 has at least a peripheral wall 3A and a ceiling 3B. The peripheral wall 3A is a cylindrical wall that horizontally covers the seat body 2. Figure 1 As shown, an entrance / exit 3C is provided on the perimeter wall 3A, allowing users to enter and exit.

[0034] Entrance 3C is an opening extending from the inner surface of the ceiling 3B of the private compartment 3 to the upper surface of the floor 3F. (The following is an example...) Figure 3 As shown, the area below the middle part in the vertical direction of the entrance / exit 3C is called the opening 3D, and the area above the middle part in the vertical direction of the entrance / exit 3C is called the closed area 3E.

[0035] A covering member 5 is provided in the private compartment 3. The covering member 5 is movable between a position where the enclosed area 3E is in a closed state and a position where it is in an open state. The covering member 5 is movable between the closed state and the open state by means of electricity.

[0036] The covering member 5 in this embodiment is composed of longitudinal louvers, which are made up of multiple plate-shaped blades 5A. A longitudinal louver refers to a louver where the length direction of each blade 5A is aligned with the vertical direction.

[0037] On the other hand, no component equivalent to the covering component 5 is provided in the opening 3D. Therefore, the opening 3D is always open. Furthermore, the boundary between the closed area 3E and the opening 3D is preferably positioned such that a third party cannot visually identify the user's head from the outside when in a comfortable posture.

[0038] <1.3 Sliding Device>

[0039] The sliding device 4 is capable of keeping the seat body 2 in its normal position (see reference). Figure 3 ) and comfortable position (refer to) Figure 4 This is an example of a moving device that moves between the two spaces. The normal position refers to the position where the seat body 2 (the front side of the seat body 2) is away from the entrance 3C and towards the inside of the privacy compartment 3. The comfort position refers to the position where the seat body 2 (the front side of the seat body 2) is closer to the entrance 3C than the normal position.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, the sliding device 4 includes at least a sliding mechanism 4A, a control unit 4B, and an operation unit 4C. The sliding mechanism 4A is an electrically operated mechanism that enables the seat body 2 to move parallel between a normal position and a comfortable position.

[0041] The sliding mechanism 4A causes the seat body 2 to slide along the front-to-back direction, thereby moving the seat body 2 parallel to the ground. Furthermore, the entrance / exit 3C... Figure 4 The position shown is located on the front side facing the seat body 2 when the seat body 2 is in a comfortable position.

[0042] The control unit 4B controls the operation of the sliding mechanism 4A. Furthermore, the control unit 4B in this embodiment can also control the operation of the seat back 2B, leg rest 2C, and cover member 5. Moreover, the control unit 4B enables the sliding mechanism 4A, seat back 2B, and leg rest 2C to perform comfort functions.

[0043] The comfort function is activated when the operation unit 4C receives an instruction from the user. It adjusts the posture of the seat body 2 to a comfortable position when the seat body 2 is already in a comfortable position. Furthermore, when the comfort function is activated, the control unit 4B moves the cover member 5 to close the enclosure area 3E (see reference). Figure 6 ).

[0044] Specifically, for example, when the seat body 2 is in its normal position in a normal posture, if the user gives an instruction to execute a comfort function, the control unit 4B moves the seat body 2 to a comfortable position, sets the posture of the seat body 2 to a comfortable posture, and sets the enclosure 3E to a closed state (see reference). Figure 6 ).

[0045] Furthermore, assuming that the enclosure 3E is already closed when the user gives the instruction to perform the comfort function (hereinafter referred to as the instruction time), the control unit 4B maintains the position of the covering member 5. Additionally, assuming that the seat body 2 is already in a comfortable position at the instruction time, the control unit 4B does not move the seat body 2, but instead sets the seat body 2 to a comfortable posture.

[0046] Furthermore, the control unit 4C is located within the seat body 2 or the privacy compartment 3 and is operated by the user when performing comfort functions. In this embodiment, the control unit 4C comprises a touch panel, an electrostatic switch, or the like.

[0047] <2. Features of the privacy compartment device involved in this embodiment>

[0048] In the privacy compartment device 1 according to this embodiment, when the comfort function is activated, such as Figure 4 As shown, the opening 3D is in an open state, and the seat body 2 is in a comfortable position.

[0049] Therefore, in this private compartment device 1, there is no need to increase the depth of the private compartment 3, i.e. Figure 4 By determining the left and right dimensions on the paper, the seat body 2 can be set to a comfortable position.

[0050] That is, in a comfortable posture, the seat back 2B becomes the same as in the normal posture (refer to...). Figure 3 Compared to the collapsed state (see reference) Figure 4 Therefore, in a comfortable posture, the fore-and-aft dimension of the seat body 2 is larger than that in a normal posture.

[0051] In contrast, in the privacy compartment device 1, when the comfort function is performed, the opening 3D is in an open state, and the seat body 2 is in a comfortable position, thus becoming a state in which at least a part of the user's lower limbs are exposed from the opening 3D to the privacy compartment 3.

[0052] Therefore, in this private compartment device 1, the seat body 2 can be positioned in a comfortable posture without increasing the depth of the private compartment 3. Thus, the user can use the comfortable posture in a relaxed state.

[0053] When the control unit 4B performs the comfort function, it moves the covering member 5 to close the enclosure 3E. As a result, without increasing the depth of the private compartment 3, it can provide a private single-room feeling for the user in a comfortable posture.

[0054] (Other implementation methods)

[0055] In the above-described embodiment, the control unit 4B moves the covering member 5 to close the enclosure 3E when performing the comfort function. However, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the present invention can, for example, allow the enclosure 3E to be open even when the comfort function is performed by the user's choice.

[0056] In the above-described embodiment, the leg support 2C is automatically in the extended position when in a comfortable posture. However, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the present invention may, for example, eliminate the leg support 2C, or allow the leg support 2C to be manually operated for displacement.

[0057] The covering component described above is an electrically operated vertical venetian blind. However, this invention is not limited to this. That is, the covering component 5 can also be a manually operated vertical venetian blind, an electrically or manually operated curtain, or an electrically or manually operated door.

[0058] The privacy compartment device described in the above embodiments includes a covering member 5. However, this invention is not limited to this. That is, the invention may, for example, eliminate the structure of the covering member 5.

[0059] In the above embodiment, the structure does not have a component equivalent to the covering member 5 provided in the opening 3D. However, the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the present invention may also have a structure in which a component equivalent to an electric or manual covering member is provided in the opening 3D. In other words, it is sufficient for the seat body 2 to be in a comfortable position and for the opening 3D to be open when the seat body 2 is in a comfortable position.

[0060] However, when performing the comfort function, the opening 3D needs to be in an open state. That is, in the case where the opening 3D is provided with an electrically operated cover member, the control unit 4B needs to move the cover member to open the opening 3D when performing the comfort function.

[0061] The moving devices described in the above embodiments are electrically powered. However, this invention is not limited to this. That is, the invention may also be a mechanical moving device utilizing springs, operating cables, etc.

[0062] Furthermore, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments as long as it conforms to the spirit of the disclosure. Therefore, it may also be a structure that combines at least two of the above-described embodiments, or a structure in which any of the constituent elements shown in the drawings or those described in the above embodiments are omitted.
