[0018] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The nursing vehicle of this embodiment is capable of nursing an infant within the vehicle body, and as shown in Figures 1 to 4, is configured with a vehicle body 1 consisting of a large vehicle such as a bus, a nursing chair (2, 4), a diaper changing bed (3, 5), a storage battery 6, an air conditioner A (air conditioning equipment), lighting fixture E, and ventilation fans (K1, K2).

[0019] 1 to 4, the vehicle body 1 is a four-wheeled vehicle equipped with a drive source such as an engine or a motor, front wheels (F1a, F1b) and rear wheels (F2a, F2b) and can travel to any location, and is divided inside into a front area R1 and a rear area R2, in which a nursing chair 2 and a diaper changing bed 3 are arranged. The driving area R3 is set at the forefront of the vehicle body 1, and the front area R1 and the rear area R2 are set in sequence toward the rear.

[0020] The driving area R3 and the front area R1 are defined by walls, and the front area R1 and the rear area R2 are separated by a partition plate 7. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the partition plate 7 is made of a plate-like member for dividing the space inside the vehicle, and has an upper end surface located a predetermined distance below the ceiling surface of the vehicle body 1. This separates the front area R1 and the rear area R2, and allows air from the air conditioner A to flow from the front area R1 to the rear area R2.

[0021] The rear area R2 is set at a position rearward of the front area R1 inside the vehicle body 1, and is provided with a nursing chair 2 on which a passenger can sit for breastfeeding and a diaper changing bed 3 for changing an infant's diaper, arranged opposite each other. Users can enter and exit the rear area R2 through a rear entrance 1a to which the rear door D1 of the vehicle is attached, and a ramp 8 with a slope that allows wheelchairs to pass through can be attached to the rear entrance 1a.

[0022] The front area R1 is set in a position forward of the rear area R2 inside the vehicle body 1, and is provided with a nursing chair 4 on which a passenger can sit to breastfeed and a diaper changing bed 5 for changing an infant's diaper, arranged opposite each other. Users can enter and exit the front area R1 through a side entrance 1b to which the vehicle's side door D2 is attached, and an air conditioner A is installed as an air conditioning device. The air conditioner A blows out generated cold or warm air toward the front area R1, and the air flows from the top of the partition plate 7 into the rear area R2.

[0023] Furthermore, lighting fixtures E for illuminating the interior of the vehicle are attached to the ceiling surfaces of the front area R1 and the rear area R2, respectively. The lighting fixtures E are, for example, LED ceiling lights, and can maintain good visibility in the front area R1 and the rear area R2 when breastfeeding or changing diapers. Note that the lighting fixtures E are not limited to LED ceiling lights, and various types of lighting means can be used. In addition, as shown in Figs. 1 to 3, ventilation fans (K1, K2) capable of discharging indoor air to the outside are attached to the front area R1 and the rear area R2, respectively.

[0024] Furthermore, a storage battery 6 capable of supplying power to lighting fixtures E and an air conditioner A (air conditioning equipment) installed in the vehicle body 1 is disposed in the front area R1. The storage battery 6 is made up of a secondary battery separate from the battery required for the vehicle to run, and is capable of supplying power to the ventilation fans (K1, K2) in addition to the lighting fixtures E and the air conditioner A. Note that, adjacent to the diaper changing beds (3, 5) in the front area R1 and rear area R2, tables T are disposed on which luggage required for breastfeeding and diaper changing can be placed.

[0025] In addition, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, a tarp storage means 9 in which a tarp 10 is rolled up and stored is attached to the side of the vehicle body 1. Then, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, by pulling the tarp 10 outward from the tarp storage means 9 and fixing it in place, it is possible to form an area for sunshade and rain protection in a place adjacent to the vehicle body 1. For example, a sink L, a water supply means M, a trash can B, etc. can be installed in this area, and milk for babies to drink can be prepared.

[0026] 5 to 10, one tire housing H1 covering the rear wheel F2a of the vehicle and the other tire housing H2 covering the rear wheel F2b of the vehicle are formed to protrude in the rear region R2 of the nursing vehicle according to this embodiment, and a nursing chair 2 is installed in the space above one tire housing H1, and a diaper changing bed 3 is installed in the space above the other tire housing H2. The tire housings (H1, H2) are made of members formed to protrude in an arc shape from the floor surface at the side corners of the rear region R2, and are formed to cover the rear wheels (F2a, F2b), respectively.

[0027] Specifically, a wheel well H1 is located below the nursing chair 2, and a wheel well H2 is located below the diaper changing bed 3, and the diaper changing bed 3 is held at a predetermined height by a support base 12. In this embodiment, a cover member 11 is provided that covers and is fixed to the other wheel well H2, and the diaper changing bed 3 is attached to the upper part of the cover member 11 via the support base 12.

[0028] That is, the wheel housing H2 is covered with the box-shaped cover member 11, the support base 12 is fixed to the upper and side surfaces of the cover member 11, and the diaper changing bed 3 is placed on the support base 12, so that the diaper changing bed 3 can be stably attached in the space above the arc-shaped wheel housing H2. Also, the cover member 11 and the support base 12 are set at a predetermined height that allows for good workability when changing diapers.

[0029] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the wheel housings covering the front wheels (F1a, F1b) are formed in the driving area R3, so no wheel housings are formed in the front area R1. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 5, the nursing chair 4 and the support base 13 are installed on the floor, and the diaper changing bed 5 is supported on the support base 13. The support base 13, like the support base 12 in the rear area R2, is set to a predetermined height that allows for good workability during diaper changing.

[0030] According to the above embodiment, the nursing chair 2, which is disposed in the space above one of the left and right wheel houses (H1, H2) equipped on the vehicle and can be seated on for breastfeeding, and the diaper changing bed 3, which is disposed in the space above the other of the left and right wheel houses (H1, H2) equipped on the vehicle and can be used to change an infant's diaper, are provided. This makes it easy to secure space for breastfeeding within the vehicle, and the nursing space can be easily set up by moving it to any location, while also making it easy to manage air conditioning, etc.

[0031] In addition, the vehicle is provided with a cover member 11 that is fixed to cover the other wheel house H2 inside the vehicle body 1, and the diaper changing bed 3 is attached to the upper part of the cover member 11. This makes it possible to effectively utilize the dead space above the wheel house H2 inside the vehicle, and also makes it possible to stably install the diaper changing bed 3.

[0032] Furthermore, the vehicle body 1 is divided into a front area R1 and a rear area R2, with a nursing chair 2 and a diaper changing bed 3 arranged in the rear area R2, and a nursing chair 4 and a diaper changing bed 5, separate from the nursing chair 2 and the diaper changing bed 3, arranged opposite each other in the front area R1, so that the space within the vehicle can be effectively utilized to ensure multiple spaces for nursing (two in this embodiment).

[0033] Furthermore, in the front region R1 according to this embodiment, a storage battery 6 capable of supplying power to the lighting fixtures E and air conditioner A installed in the vehicle body 1 is disposed, so that the storage battery 6 can be disposed in the relatively wide front region R1 where no tire housings (H1, H2) are formed, and the space inside the vehicle can be used more effectively. Also, in the front region R1 and the rear region R2 according to this embodiment, ventilation fans (K1, K2) capable of discharging indoor air to the outside are respectively attached, and the ventilation fans (K1, K2) can be supplied with power from the storage battery 6, so that power can be supplied to the ventilation fans (K1, K2) attached to the front region R1 and the rear region R2, respectively, in addition to the lighting fixtures E and the air conditioner A.

[0034] In addition, a ramp 8 with a slope that allows wheelchairs to pass through can be attached to the rear entrance 1a of the rear area R2, so that wheelchair users can easily enter and exit the front area R1 or the rear area R2 for breastfeeding. Note that it is sufficient that the ramp 8 can be attached to at least one of the entrances (rear entrance 1a or side entrance 1b) of the front area R1 or the rear area R2, and it may be attached to both entrances, or only to the side entrance 1b of the front area R1.

[0035] Although the present embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, equipment necessary for tasks other than breastfeeding and diaper changing may be installed, and staircase-like steps or a ladder may be used instead of the slope 8. Note that while the vehicle body 1 is preferably a large vehicle such as a bus, it may also be a small vehicle that can provide working space for breastfeeding and diaper changing. [Industrial Applicability]

[0036] The present invention can also be applied to devices with different external shapes or devices with added functions, etc., so long as they have the same gist as the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
