Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of public rest facilities, specifically a children's leisure cabin. Background Technology

[0002] In today's fast-paced society, the demand for quiet, private spaces for rest is growing, whether in busy transportation hubs like airports and high-speed rail stations, or in large commercial complexes, libraries, office areas, or even homes. Especially in public places, providing travelers, customers, or employees with a private space to briefly recharge and escape external distractions not only improves service quality but also demonstrates humanistic care. For children, a safe, fun, and enveloping resting environment is even more conducive to emotional stability and physical recovery.

[0003] Existing rest solutions, such as open-plan seating or partitioned rest areas, often fail to provide sufficient privacy and tranquility, easily affected by surrounding noise and crowds. While some traditional enclosed rest pods or sleep boxes offer some independent space, they still have many shortcomings in design and function. First, in terms of space utilization, many rest pods use traditional hinged or sliding doors, requiring additional space for door movement when opened, which undoubtedly reduces the flexibility and density of space deployment in space-constrained locations. Second, regarding the internal environment, some enclosed rest pods may suffer from poor air circulation, which can lead to polluted air and decreased oxygen levels over time, affecting the user's comfort and health. Simple ventilation equipment may cause discomfort due to direct airflow, especially for children and the elderly who are more sensitive. In addition, some rest pods fail to achieve ideal results in sound insulation, internal lighting adjustment, and ease of operation, making it difficult to truly create a safe and comfortable "haven." Products specifically designed for children often lack sufficient consideration for safety, fun, and ease of use, and lack designs that can attract children and make them feel safe.

[0004] Therefore, designing a rest cabin that can efficiently utilize space, provide a safe, quiet, and comfortable independent resting environment, and is easy to operate with good air circulation has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. This not only requires innovative structural design to optimize spatial layout and improve user experience, but also the integration of an effective air circulation system to ensure a healthy and comfortable internal environment. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, the present invention provides a children's leisure cabin with high space utilization and can provide a safe and quiet independent space.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a children's leisure cabin, which includes a fixed base with a horizontal bearing surface, and a base groove is provided at the center of the horizontal bearing surface.

[0007] The inner eggshell has a bottom rigidly connected to the horizontal bearing surface of the fixed base, and the radial sidewall of the inner eggshell has a first opening.

[0008] The outer eggshell has a second opening on its radial sidewall that corresponds to the first opening;

[0009] A slewing bearing, wherein the inner ring of the slewing bearing is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed base, and the outer ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer eggshell;

[0010] An air circulation system includes a bottom circulation assembly disposed within the fixed base and a top circulation assembly extending to the top of the inner eggshell;

[0011] The outer eggshell can rotate relative to the inner eggshell via the slewing bearing, allowing the second opening to be selectively aligned with or misaligned with the first opening.

[0012] The eggshell-shaped design conveys a sense of safety and fun to children. The double-layered shell and slewing bearing allow for easy opening and closing of the rest cabin without requiring additional space, thus meeting users' entry and exit needs. When the second opening is misaligned with the first, the rest cabin is closed, providing a relatively independent and quiet space, effectively enhancing its practicality and convenience.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the cross-section of the fixed base is a superior arc shape, and the plane where the chord of the superior arc shape is located is the side plane of the base. The superior arc shape cross-section design forms a inferior arc shape clearance space, which provides favorable conditions for the subsequent setting of some air outlets.

[0014] The fixed base has an arc-shaped hatch limiting groove on its side, the curvature of which matches the maximum curvature of the second opening. The inner wall surface of the outer shell has a hatch limiting protrusion that engages with the hatch limiting groove. The protrusion slides along the groove, limiting the rotational travel of the outer shell. By using the two ends of the hatch limiting groove to limit the opening and closing positions between the outer shells, excessive rotation is effectively prevented, making the opening and closing operation of the resting compartment more stable and reliable, and providing clear usage instructions.

[0015] A further improvement is that a hatch handle is provided on the outer surface of the outer shell. The shape and size of the second opening match the shape and size of the first opening. The hatch handle enhances the ease of application of force when the user rotates the outer shell. When the second opening is aligned with the first opening, it maximizes ventilation and light intake, while also facilitating user entry and exit. When it needs to be closed, the misaligned openings match well, ensuring complete isolation between the interior and exterior of the resting chamber, improving internal tranquility and creating an independent and comfortable environment.

[0016] To ensure internal air quality and achieve comfortable air circulation when the opening is closed, the bottom circulation assembly includes:

[0017] The first fan is located within the fixed base and has a first air inlet and a first air outlet;

[0018] An external air inlet is located at the lower part of the outer eggshell.

[0019] An external exhaust vent is located at the lower part of the outer eggshell, parallel to the external air inlet;

[0020] The air inlet duct connects the external air inlet and the first air inlet;

[0021] The air outlet of the base is located on the side plane of the base;

[0022] The first air supply duct connects the first air supply outlet and the base air outlet;

[0023] The base exhaust vent is located on the groove wall of the base.

[0024] The exhaust duct connects the base exhaust port and the external exhaust port.

[0025] With the bottom circulation system in place, fresh air enters through the external air inlet, is pressurized by the first fan, and is then output to the rest cabin through the base air outlet. At the same time, stale air in the rest cabin can enter the exhaust pipe through the base exhaust outlet and be discharged through the external exhaust outlet, achieving efficient air circulation and effectively improving the air quality in the rest cabin. This provides a healthy and comfortable breathing environment for the users inside, and ensures an adequate supply of oxygen, especially when the cabin is closed.

[0026] Furthermore, as another part of the air circulation system, the top circulation assembly includes:

[0027] The second fan is located at the top of the inner eggshell and has a second air inlet and a second air outlet.

[0028] The inner shell support column extends along the inner wall of the inner eggshell and is rigidly connected to the fixed base. It not only supports the inner eggshell, but also has a second air supply pipe inside that connects the first air supply port and the second air inlet.

[0029] The fan cavity is located at the top of the inner eggshell and is connected to the second air outlet, with top air outlets distributed around its circumference.

[0030] The top circulation system is an improvement on the internal air circulation, ensuring that air circulation is not limited to the bottom. The top air outlets can evenly deliver fresh air to every corner of the rest cabin, creating comprehensive air circulation and avoiding dead zones. This further enhances ventilation. At the same time, the circumferential distribution of the top air outlets allows airflow to flow along the inner wall of the curved inner shell, preventing direct airflow onto the user's body. This fully considers the comfort needs of users, especially children, and effectively avoids physical discomfort that may be caused by direct airflow.

[0031] The present invention achieves the following technical advantages over the prior art:

[0032] The double-layered eggshell and slewing bearing enable convenient and flexible opening and closing, eliminating the need for additional door space and meeting user entry and exit needs. The door limiting structure effectively ensures stability during use, providing a relatively independent and quiet space when the resting cabin is closed, maximizing functionality within a limited space. Simultaneously, an air circulation system consisting of a bottom circulation group within the fixed base and a top circulation group extending to the top of the inner eggshell ensures airflow within the resting cabin. Internal air outlets are located on the side of the fixed base and the top of the inner eggshell, preventing direct airflow onto the user. The inner shell support column directly supports the entire inner eggshell while also providing space for ventilation duct installation. This invention ensures user comfort and provides a resting cabin solution that integrates safety, comfort, and practicality, especially for children, demonstrating significant technical advantages and application value.

Detailed Implementation

[0044] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0045] Example 1.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 8 to 10As shown in the illustration, this embodiment describes a children's recreational pod, including a fixed base 1 with a horizontal bearing surface. A base groove 14 is located at the center of the horizontal bearing surface. In some cases, a height-adjustable table can be installed at the base groove 14 to meet the child's learning needs. The tabletop size matches the size of the base groove 14, and when the tabletop is lowered to the bottom, the tabletop precisely fills the hole in the base groove 14. An inner eggshell 2 is rigidly connected to the horizontal bearing surface of the fixed base 1 at its bottom. The radial sidewall of the inner eggshell 2 has a first opening 21. In some cases, the inner eggshell 2 is entirely transparent, allowing adults to observe the child inside the pod. An outer eggshell 3 has a second opening 31 on its radial sidewall corresponding to the first opening 21. In this embodiment, the outer eggshell 3 adopts a split-part structure, with the two parts joining to form a complete outer eggshell 3. The lower part of the outer eggshell 3 has a through-hole mesh for air exchange between the interior and exterior of the chamber. A slewing bearing 4 has its inner ring fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed base 1, and its outer ring fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer eggshell 3. An air circulation system includes a bottom circulation group disposed within the fixed base 1 and a top circulation group extending to the top of the inner eggshell 2. The outer eggshell 3 can rotate relative to the inner eggshell 2 via the slewing bearing 4, allowing the second opening 31 to selectively align or misalign with the first opening 21. This double-shell structure, combined with the slewing bearing 4, enables convenient opening and closing of the resting chamber without requiring additional door space, meeting the needs of children entering and exiting. When the second opening 31 is misaligned with the first opening 21, the resting chamber is closed, providing a relatively independent and quiet space, effectively improving the practicality and convenience of the resting chamber. Meanwhile, the second opening 31, which is misaligned with the first opening 21, can be combined with the transparent inner eggshell 2 to form an observation window.

[0047] like Figure 9As shown, the fixed base 1 has a superior arc-shaped cross-section, and the plane containing the chord of the superior arc is the side plane 15 of the base. The superior arc-shaped cross-section design creates a minor arc-shaped clearance space on the fixed base 1, providing favorable conditions for the subsequent setting of some air outlets. In general design, this clearance space can also be positioned opposite the first opening, serving as an entrance or step into the inner cabin, and small items can be temporarily placed in this space. The side of the fixed base 1 is provided with an arc-shaped door limiting channel 11, which extends circumferentially at a specific angle. Generally, it is sufficient to ensure that the first opening 21 and the second opening 31 can be completely offset. In this embodiment, it is preferably 90°, and in some cases it can be 180°. When the door limiting channel 11 is 180°, a portion of the inner eggshell 3 is a transparent window, through which the user can see the child inside the cabin. The inner wall surface of the outer eggshell 3 is provided with a hatch limiting protrusion 6, which cooperates with the hatch limiting groove 11. The hatch limiting protrusion 6 slides along the hatch limiting groove 11, allowing the outer eggshell to achieve a 90° rotation stroke. This limiting structure effectively prevents excessive rotation, making the opening and closing operation of the resting cabin more stable and reliable, while ensuring that the hatch is closed properly without requiring much effort from the user. The outer surface of the outer eggshell 3 is provided with a hatch handle 32, and the shape and size of the second opening 31 match the shape and size of the first opening 21. The hatch handle 32 enhances the ease of application of force when the user rotates the outer eggshell 3. When the second opening 31 is aligned with the first opening 21, it can achieve maximum ventilation and light introduction, while also serving as an opening for the user to enter and exit; when it needs to be closed, the misaligned opening has good matching, ensuring a comfortable environment inside the resting cabin.

[0048] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in order to achieve comfortable air circulation and improve interior air quality, the bottom circulation assembly includes:

[0049] The first fan 51 is disposed in the fixed base 1 and has a first air inlet 511 and a first air outlet 512;

[0050] An external air inlet 33 is located at the lower part of the outer eggshell 3;

[0051] An external exhaust vent 34 is located at the lower part of the outer eggshell 3 and is parallel to the external air inlet 33.

[0052] Air inlet duct 71 connects external air inlet 33 and first air inlet 511;

[0053] The air outlet 12 of the base is located on the side plane 15 of the base to prevent the air from blowing directly onto the user;

[0054] The first air supply duct 72 connects the first air supply outlet 521 and the base air outlet 12;

[0055] The base exhaust vent 13 is disposed on the wall of the base groove 14;

[0056] The exhaust pipe 73 connects the base exhaust port 13 and the external exhaust port 34.

[0057] like Figure 7 As shown, as another part of the air circulation system, preferably, the top circulation group includes:

[0058] The second fan 52 is located on the top of the inner eggshell 2 and has a second air inlet 521 and a second air outlet 522;

[0059] The inner shell support column 22 extends along the inner wall of the inner eggshell 2 and is rigidly connected to the fixed base 1. Inside it is a second air supply pipe 74 that connects the first air supply port 512 and the second air inlet 521.

[0060] The fan cavity 53 is located at the top of the inner eggshell 2 and communicates with the second air outlet 522, and has a top air outlet 531 distributed around it.

[0061] With the bottom and top circulation groups, fresh air enters from the external air inlet 33, passes through the air inlet duct 71, and reaches the first fan 51 through the first air inlet 511. After being pressurized, it enters the first air outlet 72 and the second air outlet 74 through the first air outlet 512. Some fresh air passes through the base air outlet 12, through the aforementioned clearance space, and is output into the rest chamber. Some fresh air enters the second fan 52 through the second air inlet 521, and after being pressurized, enters the chamber through the second air outlet 522, the fan cavity 53, and the top air outlet 531. The overall airflow flows along the inner wall of the arc-shaped inner eggshell 2. The air circulation system evenly delivers fresh air to all corners inside the rest chamber, forming all-round air circulation, avoiding dead air zones, and further improving the ventilation effect. On the other hand, the airflow will not blow directly onto the child's body, fully considering the child's comfort needs and effectively avoiding physical discomfort caused by direct airflow. The stale air in the rest cabin can enter the exhaust pipe 73 through the base exhaust port 13 and then be discharged from the external exhaust port 34.

[0062] Through the configuration of the above air circulation system, this utility model achieves efficient air circulation, effectively improves the air quality in the rest cabin, and provides a healthy and comfortable breathing environment for children. In particular, when the cabin is closed, it ensures a sufficient supply of oxygen inside the rest cabin.
