Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a building, and more particularly to a building having a storage space capable of storing items. [Background technology]

[0002] It is already well known that a building has a space where a laundry facility is located and a storage space for storing articles such as clothes washed by the laundry facility. For example, in the house (building) described in Patent Document 1, the storage area (storage space) and the water area (space where the laundry facility is located) are located close to each other. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2019-173369 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, when using the building described in Patent Document 1 to store an item in a storage space, the user needs to move through a corridor to the storage space and carry the item there. On the other hand, when multiple stored items are stored together in one storage space, when retrieving an item, the user must walk along a corridor from the space where the user is to the storage space and retrieve the stored item.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to solve the above problems. Specifically, the present invention aims to provide a building in which items can be efficiently stored in and removed from the storage space. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the building of the present invention is characterized by comprising a corridor extending in a predetermined direction, a first space in which laundry facilities are arranged and adjacent to a part of the corridor in the predetermined direction, a second space adjacent to a part of the corridor other than the part adjacent to the first space in the predetermined direction, a storage space sandwiched between the first space and the second space in the predetermined direction and capable of storing items, a first door that can be opened and closed from the first space and is opened when the storage space is connected to the first space, and a second door that can be opened and closed from the second space and is opened when the storage space is connected to the second space.

[0007] In the building of the present invention configured as described above, it is possible to store an item from the first space to the storage space and to take it out from the second space without moving between the first space and the second space in the building via a corridor. This allows for efficient storage of an item in the storage space and removal of the item.

[0008] In addition, in the building of the present invention, the stored items are items to be washed in a laundry facility, the first space is adjacent to the middle part of the corridor in a specified direction, and the second space is adjacent to the end part of the corridor in a specified direction. In the above configuration, the articles washed by the laundry equipment in the first space can be stored in the storage space so as to be removable from the second space. As a result, the articles can be efficiently stored in the storage space and removed from the storage space.

[0009] In addition, the building of the present invention may be equipped with at least one of a first restriction mechanism that restricts the opening of the first door when the second door is open, and a second restriction mechanism that restricts the opening of the second door when the first door is open. With the above configuration, it is possible to prevent the first door and the second door from being open at the same time, and as a result, the first space and the second space are always separated by the first door or the second door, thereby ensuring soundproofing and independence of the first space and the second space.

[0010] In addition, in the building of the present invention, the first restriction mechanism may be a mechanism that issues a warning when the first door is opened while the second door is open, and the second restriction mechanism may be a mechanism that issues a warning when the second door is opened while the first door is open. In the above configuration, when the first door and the second door are opened at the same time, a warning can be issued to inform the user. As a result, the first door and the second door can be prevented from being opened at the same time, and sound insulation and independence of the first space and the second space can be ensured.

[0011] In addition, in the building of the present invention, the first restriction mechanism may be a mechanism that locks the first door in a closed position while the second door is open, and the second restriction mechanism may be a mechanism that locks the second door in a closed position while the first door is open. In the above configuration, it is possible to reliably prevent the first door and the second door from being open at the same time.

[0012] In addition, the building of the present invention may include a shelf provided within the storage space and having a mounting portion on which the stored items are placed, a drive mechanism for rotating the mounting portion around an axis along the vertical direction, and a control device for controlling the drive mechanism to rotate the mounting portion on which the stored items are placed. In the above configuration, the mounting section can be rotated by a drive mechanism controlled by the control device, and the stored object is placed on the mounting section so as to be rotatable within the storage space. As a result, the user can easily store and remove the stored object in and from the storage space.

[0013] The building of the present invention may further include a camera provided within the storage space for capturing an image of the shelf, and a display device for displaying an image captured by the camera. In the above configuration, the user can check the state of the shelf, the state of the placement section, and the position, type, and state of the items stored in the storage space, respectively, through the imaging device and the display device.

[0014] In addition, the building of the present invention may further include an input device that accepts an input operation from a user, and the control device may control the drive mechanism to rotate the placement unit by an amount of rotation based on the input operation accepted by the input device. In the above configuration, the user can freely rotate and move the placement portion of the shelf in the storage space by performing an input operation through the input device. As a result, the user can more easily store and remove items from the storage space.

[0015] In the building of the present invention, the control device may control the drive mechanism to rotate the placement unit when the first door or the second door is opened. In the above configuration, when the first door or the second door is open, the placement part can be automatically rotated. As a result, the user can more easily store and remove items in and from the storage space.

[0016] In addition, in the building of the present invention, the storage space is divided into a plurality of spaces arranged in a direction intersecting a predetermined direction and the vertical direction, and a shelf, a drive mechanism, a first door, and a second door are provided individually for each of the plurality of spaces. In the above configuration, the shelf, the drive mechanism, the first door, and the second door are provided for each of the multiple spaces that make up the storage space. As a result, the user can properly store and remove items in and from the storage space. Effect of the Invention

[0017] According to the present invention, a building can be provided in which items can be efficiently stored in and removed from the storage space. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0019] <<Specific embodiments of the present invention>> A building (hereinafter, building 10) according to one embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter, this embodiment) will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.

[0020] In each drawing, various components are omitted and the drawings are simplified and schematic in order to make the description easier to understand. 1, 7, and 8, the movement route A1, the movement route A2, and the movement route A3 of the user from the first space 2 to the second space 3 are illustrated by arrows. In the following description, people residing in the building 10 will be referred to as users. In the following description, the items to be washed by the laundry equipment L will be referred to as stored items H. In the following description, the direction in which the corridor 1 extends in the building 10 is referred to as a "predetermined direction," and the direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction and the horizontal direction is referred to as an intersecting direction.

[0021] [Building layout according to this embodiment] The layout of a building 10 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the building 10 has a corridor 1, a first space 2, a second space 3, and a storage space 4. These spaces are separated by walls or the like. Meanwhile, each of the first space 2 and the second space 3 is adjacent to the corridor 1 via a door 5, and is continuous with the space of the corridor 1 when the door 5 is open. Also, the storage space 4 is adjacent to each of the first space 2 and the second space 3 via a first door 20 and a second door 30, and is continuous with the first space 2 when the first door 20 is open, and is continuous with the second space 3 when the second door 30 is open.

[0022] (corridor) As shown in Figure 1, the corridor 1 extends in a predetermined direction within the building 10, with a middle portion of the corridor 1 adjacent to a first space 2, and an end portion of the corridor 1 adjacent to a second space 3. Therefore, in this embodiment, a user can move between the first space 2 and the second space 3 by passing through the corridor 1.

[0023] (1st space) The first space 2 is a room where laundry equipment L, such as a laundry room, is arranged, and is a room used when the laundry equipment L performs a series of laundry processes, including washing, drying, ironing, folding, etc., on stored items H. Stored items H include, for example, clothes, shoes, bags, bedding, cloth products, etc., which are subjected to a series of laundry processes, such as washing, by the laundry equipment L. The laundry equipment L is a machine that can perform a series of laundry processes, and examples of such machines include a washing machine, a dryer, an iron, and a folding board.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 1, within the building 10, the first space 2 is adjacent to the middle part of the corridor 1 in the cross direction so as to be connected via door 5, and is adjacent to the storage space 4 in a predetermined direction so as to be connected by the first door 20. The first door 20 can be opened and closed by a user in the first space 2. As shown in Fig. 1, the first door 20 is provided for each of the multiple spaces of the storage space 4 separated by the partitions 48, that is, the number of first doors 20 is the same as the number of spaces, and four first doors are provided in the case shown in Fig. 1.

[0025] (Second space) The second space 3 is a room such as a bedroom or living room that is used by the user in daily life, and is a room in which the user uses stored items H that have been subjected to a series of washing processes by the laundry equipment L. As shown in Figure 1, within the building 10, the second space 3 is adjacent to the end of the corridor 1 in the cross direction so as to be connected via door 5, and is adjacent to the storage space 4 in a predetermined direction so as to be connected by the second door 30. The second door 30 can be opened and closed by a user in the second space 3. As shown in Fig. 1, the second door 30 is provided for each of the multiple spaces of the storage space 4 separated by the partitions 48, that is, the number of second doors 30 is the same as the number of spaces, and four are provided in the case shown in Fig. 1.

[0026] (Storage space) The storage space 4 is a space for storing stored items H, such as a storage room or a closet. Stored items H can be stored in and removed from the inside of the storage space 4, but users cannot enter or exit. Therefore, there is no door between the corridor 1 and the storage space 4 for entering or exiting.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1, the storage space 4 is located within a building 10, adjacent to the middle part of the corridor 1 in the intersecting direction, and sandwiched between the first space 2 and the second space 3 in a specific direction, and is positioned so that it can be connected by the first door 20 and the second door 30. In this embodiment, a user in the first space 2 can open the first door 20 to directly store the stored article H that has completed a series of washing steps by the laundry equipment L from the first space 2 to the storage space 4. In addition, in this embodiment, a user in the second space 3 can open the second door 30 to directly take out the stored article H stored in the storage space from the storage space 4 to the second space 3.

[0028] In addition, in the layout of the building 10 described above, the first door 20 and the second door 30 cannot be in an open state at the same time due to the restriction mechanism 50 described later. Therefore, the first space 2 and the second space 3 are always separated by either the first door 20 or the second door 30. On the other hand, the storage space 4 can be connected to one of the first space 2 and the second space 3 in each of the multiple spaces, and can switch between the spaces (the first space 2 or the second space 3) connected to each of the multiple spaces of the storage space 4. As a result, the stored item H can be transported between the first space 2 and the second space 3 via the storage space 4. On the other hand, since the user cannot enter or exit the inside of the storage space 4, the user cannot move between the first space 2 and the second space 3 unless he or she moves via the corridor 1 as in the movement route A1 shown in FIG. 1.

[0029] [Overall configuration of the storage space of the building according to this embodiment] The overall configuration of the storage space 4 of the building 10 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 3, the storage space 4 is equipped with a shelf 40, a drive mechanism 43, a photographing device 44, a display device 45, an input device 46, and a control device 47, and is divided into multiple spaces by a first door 20, a second door 30, and a partition 48.

[0030] The storage space 4 is divided by partitions 48 into a plurality of spaces arranged in a direction intersecting a predetermined direction and the vertical direction, and each of the plurality of spaces is provided with one shelf 40. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the storage space 4 is divided into four spaces by three partitions 48, and a total of four shelves 40 are provided in the storage space 4. In addition, a first door 20 and a second door 30 are arranged in pairs in each of the four storage spaces 4, as shown in FIG. 3. Each component of the storage space 4 will be described below.

[0031] (shelf) As shown in FIG. 2, the shelf 40 is used in the storage space 4 for placing items H thereon, and is slightly smaller than the multiple spaces in the storage space 4. As shown in FIG. 2, on the shelf 40, a number of disk-shaped mounting portions 41 are arranged at equal intervals along the direction in which the rotating shaft 42 extends (vertical direction), and the rotating shaft 42 passes through the centers of the multiple mounting portions 41, connecting each of the mounting portions 41. The placement sections 41 of the shelves 40 are rotated by the drive mechanism 43 around an axis along the vertical direction along which the rotation shaft 42 extends, and the stored item H placed on the placement sections 41 is rotated around the rotation shaft 42. Note that when the shelves 40 rotate, each of the multiple placement sections 41 may be able to rotate independently (each placement section 41) around the rotation shaft 42.

[0032] (Drive mechanism) The driving mechanism 43 is constituted by a known device capable of applying a rotational force to the mounting portion 41 to rotate it around the rotational axis 42, and is disposed one by one near the rotational axis 42 of each shelf 40, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. The driving mechanism 43 applies a rotational force based on the control of the control device 47 so that the amount of rotation can be adjusted in both the forward and reverse directions. The drive mechanism 43 may have a plurality of separate drive mechanisms 43 to rotate the plurality of mounting portions 41 of the shelf 40 independently of each other. Also, the drive mechanism 43 may be configured to integrate the plurality of mounting portions 41 of the shelf 40 and rotate them simultaneously.

[0033] (Photographing device) The image capturing device 44 is a device for capturing images and videos, and is specifically a known camera. Information such as the captured image captured by the image capturing device 44 is transmitted to the control device 47 and displayed by the display device 45. The camera devices 44 are positioned at positions where they can photograph the entire upper surface of the mounting sections 41 of the shelf 40. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, one camera device 44 is positioned above each of the multiple mounting sections 41, and a total of 16 camera devices 44 are positioned in the storage space 4.

[0034] (display device) 5, the display device 45 is a known monitor or display that displays various information to a user in the first space 2 or the second space 3. As shown in FIG. 3, the display device 45 displays information such as an image captured by the imaging device 44. The display device 45 is disposed within a range that is easy for the user to see. In this embodiment, the display device 45 is disposed adjacent to the input device 46, one on the back side of each of the first door 20 and the second door 30, as shown in FIG.

[0035] (Input Device) 5, the input device 46 is composed of, for example, a known operation panel, and can receive input operations by the user on various devices such as the shelf 40, the placement unit 41, and the drive mechanism 43, and transmit information related to the user's input operations to the control device 47. This allows the user to rotate and move the shelf 40. At this time, the amount of rotation (amount of movement) of the shelf 40 is determined according to the operation content when the user performs an input operation on the input device 46 (for example, the pressing time of a button provided on the operation panel, etc.). The input device 46 is positioned in a location where it can be operated by a user inside the building 10, and in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, one input device 46 is positioned on the back side of each of the first door 20 and the second door 30, adjacent to the display device 45.

[0036] (Control device) The control device 47 is, for example, a general-purpose computer or control circuit. As shown in Fig. 4, the control device 47 transmits and receives information to and from various devices such as the drive mechanism 43, the image capturing device 44, the display device 45, the input device 46, the limiting mechanism 50, and the sensor 51 through a control circuit or a communication device, and controls the various devices. As shown in Fig. 4, the control device 47, together with the various devices, constitutes a control system for the building 10 (hereinafter, referred to as system S).

[0037] More specifically, in this embodiment, the control device 47 controls the drive mechanism 43 to display an image captured by the imaging device 44 on the display device 45 and rotate the placement unit 41 by an amount of rotation based on an input operation received by the input device 46. In this embodiment, the control device 47 also controls a part of the function of the limiting mechanism 50. In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, one control device 47 is disposed inside the storage space 4. However, the location where the control devices 47 are disposed and the number of control devices 47 to be disposed are not particularly limited.

[0038] (Limiting mechanism) The restriction mechanism 50 has the function of restricting the opening of one of the pair of first door 20 and second door 30 when the other is open, and is disposed on each of the first door 20 and the second door 30. The limiting mechanism 50 includes a first limiting mechanism 53 that limits the opening of the first door 20 when the second door 30 is open, and a second limiting mechanism 54 that limits the opening of the second door 30 when the first door 20 is open. As shown in Fig. 3, the limiting mechanism 50 includes a sensor 51, a lamp 52, a locking mechanism, and an alarm generating device.

[0039] In the first restriction mechanism 53, when any one or more of the four second doors 30 are open, the lock mechanism locks the first door 20 paired with the opened second door 30. In addition, when any one or more of the four second doors 30 are open, if the first door 20 paired with the opened second door 30 is opened, an alarm is issued by the alarm generating device. In the second restriction mechanism 54, when any one or more of the four first doors 20 are open, the lock mechanism prevents the second door 30 paired with the open first door 20 from being opened. In addition, when any one or more of the four first doors 20 are open, if the second door 30 paired with the open first door 20 is opened, an alarm is issued by the alarm generating device.

[0040] 3, the sensor 51 is disposed at each of the latch portions of the first door 20 and the second door 30, detects the presence or absence of a locking member that stores the latch portion when the first door 20 and the second door 30 are closed, and transmits the detected information to the control device 47. Then, based on the information transmitted by the sensor 51, it is determined whether the first door 20 and the second door 30 are open. The lamp 52 is a known lighting device such as an LED, and can be turned on and the emitted color can be changed. The restriction mechanism 50 can inform the user of the open / closed state of the first door 20 or the second door 30 by whether the lamp 52 is turned on or off, or by the emitted color of the lamp 52.

[0041] The locking mechanism is a mechanism that locks the first door 20 or the second door 30 in a closed state. The configuration in which the locking mechanism locks the first door 20 or the second door 30 in a closed state is not particularly limited. For example, a locking mechanism that uses a push button attached to a handle provided on the first door 20 and the second door 30, a locking mechanism that uses a remote control in a configuration in which the first door 20 and the second door 30 can be locked and unlocked by the remote control, or a locking mechanism that requires fingerprint authentication or the like to open and close the first door 20 and the second door 30 can be used. The alarm generating device is a device that issues an audible warning to the user, and it is preferable that one alarm generating device is disposed in a position within storage space 4 that is easily audible to the user.

[0042] [Control process flow of the control device according to this embodiment] The control process flow of the system S controlled by the control device 47 of the building 10 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The control process flow according to this embodiment proceeds according to the flows shown in Figures 6 and 7 by the system S controlled by the control device 47 shown in Figure 4. Note that the control process flow described below is merely an example and may be changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In the following, as shown in FIG. 6, a control process flow will be described in the case where a user places an object H that has been subjected to a series of washing steps by the laundry equipment L from the first space 2 into the storage space 4.

[0043] When the control device 47 recognizes by a sensor that the user is in the first space 2, or confirms a request to start the control process flow, such as the user pressing a button for starting the control process flow, the control device 47 starts the control process flow. First, the control device 47 confirms, based on the information received from the sensor 51, that the first door 20 has been opened (S001). In addition, among the multiple spaces in the storage space 4, the shelf 40, the drive mechanism 43, and the second door 30 arranged in the space in which the first door 20 in an open state is arranged are in a corresponding relationship with the first door 20 in an open state.

[0044] Next, based on the information received from the sensor 51, the control device 47 checks whether the second door 30 that is paired with (corresponding to) the first door 20 in the open state is also in the open state (S002). When the second door 30 paired with the first door 20 in the open state is in the open state (S002: YES), the control device 47 controls the restriction mechanism 50 so that the restriction mechanism 50 issues a warning (S003). After S003, the control device 47 returns to S002 and checks again whether the second door 30 is in the open state (S002). On the other hand, if the second door 30 paired with the first door 20 in the open state is not in the open state (S002: NO), the control device 47 causes the restriction mechanism 50 to lock the second door 30 paired with the first door 20 in the open state (S004), and then makes the drive mechanism 43 corresponding to the first door 20 in the open state operable (S005).

[0045] After S005, the control device 47 causes the display device 45 to display the image captured by the imaging device 44 (S006), and accepts an input operation performed through the input device 46 (S007). Then, the control device 47 controls the drive mechanism 43 based on the input operation received from the input device 46, and rotates the placement portion 41 of the shelf 40 that corresponds to the first door 20 that is in the open state among the four shelves 40 (S008).

[0046] Finally, the control device 47 checks whether the first door 20 is maintained in the open state (S009). When it is confirmed that the first door 20 is maintained in the open state (S009: YES), the control device 47 returns to S007 and again accepts an input operation performed through the input device 46 (S007). On the other hand, if it is confirmed that the first door 20 is not maintained in the open state (S009: NO), the controller 47 ends the control process flow.

[0047] Furthermore, a control process flow in the case where the user takes out the stored item H stored in the storage space 4 from the storage space 4 to the second space 3 will be described. The control process flow when removing the stored item H is basically the same as the control process flow when storing the stored item H. On the other hand, the control process flow when removing the stored item H differs in the door (first door 20 or second door 30) that is checked to see if it is in an open state or is maintaining an open state, and accordingly, the door (first door 20 or second door 30) that the restriction mechanism 50 locks differs.

[0048] [Advantages obtained by using the building according to this embodiment] The effectiveness of the building 10 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0049] In the conventional building 100, the stored articles H that have completed a series of washing steps in the first space 2 are stored in a storage shelf 140 in the second space 3, as shown in FIG. However, in the conventional building 100, when storing the stored item H, the stored item H must be carried from the first space 2 to the second space 3 as shown in the moving path A2 in Fig. 7, and the stored item H cannot be efficiently stored in the storage shelf 140. On the other hand, in the conventional building 100, if the storage shelf 140 is placed in the first space 2 to make it easier to store the stored item H, the user must move from the second space 3 to the first space 2 to take out the stored item H.

[0050] In contrast, the building 10 according to this embodiment is arranged with a corridor 1, a first space 2 in which a laundry facility L for washing stored items H is arranged, a second space 3 in which the stored items H are used, and a storage space 4 in which the stored items H can be stored, as shown in Fig. 1. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 1, the corridor 1 extends in a predetermined direction, the first space 2 is adjacent to the middle part of the corridor 1, the second space 3 is adjacent to the end part of the corridor 1, and the storage space 4 is sandwiched between the first space 2 and the second space 3. Then, as shown in Fig. 1, when the first door 20 is opened, the storage space 4 and the first space 2 are continuous, and when the second door 30 is opened, the storage space 4 and the second space 3 are continuous.

[0051] In the building 10 according to the present embodiment configured as described above, the user can store the stored item H from the first space 2 to the storage space 4 and can take out the stored item H from the storage space 4 to the second space 3 without moving from the first space 2 to the second space 3 via the corridor 1, as in the movement route A1 shown in Fig. 1. Therefore, in the building 10, the user can store the stored item H that has completed a series of washing steps by the laundry equipment L in the first space 2 so that it can be directly taken out from the second space 3. As a result, it is possible to provide a building 10 in which the stored item H can be efficiently stored in the storage space 4 and the stored item H can be efficiently removed.

[0052] Furthermore, the building 10 of this embodiment is equipped with a restriction mechanism 50 that issues a warning if one of the pair of first and second doors 20 and 30 is opened while the other door is open, or that locks one door in a closed position while the other door is open. This reliably prevents the first door 20 and the second door 30 from being open at the same time, and the first space 2 and the second space 3 are always separated and shielded by the first door 20 or the second door 30. Therefore, it is possible to block the sound from one of the first space 2 and the second space 3 to the other space, and to make it impossible to see the state of the other space from one space. As a result, it is possible to ensure the soundproofing and independence of the first space 2 and the second space 3.

[0053] Furthermore, in the building 10 according to this embodiment, one shelf 40 is arranged in each of the four spaces in the storage space 4, and the placement portion 41 of the shelf 40 rotates about a rotation axis 42 by a drive mechanism 43. This allows the user to rotate the area (space) located directly above the placement portion 41 and in which no stored item H is placed, to a position directly in front of the user to efficiently store the stored item H, and the stored item H placed on the placement portion 41 can be easily removed by rotating it to a position directly in front of the user.

[0054] Moreover, the storage space 4 of the building 10 according to this embodiment includes a photographing device 44, a display device 45, and an input device 46. This allows the user to freely rotate the placement unit 41 by operating the input device 46 while checking the display device 45 to determine the state of the placement unit 41 and the state of the stored items H (presence, position, number, and type of stored items H). Therefore, the user can easily store and remove the stored items H.

[0055] <<Other embodiments of the present invention>> Although one embodiment of the building 10 of the present invention has been described above, the above embodiment is merely an example for facilitating understanding of the present invention and does not limit the present invention. In other words, the present invention may be modified or improved without departing from the spirit of the present invention. In addition, the present invention naturally includes its equivalents.

[0056] In the above-described embodiment, in the building 10, the first space 2 is adjacent to one storage space 4 on one side in the predetermined direction as shown in Fig. 1. However, the layout of the building is not limited to this. For example, the building may have a layout like building 10A, as shown in Figure 8, in which a first space 2 is adjacent to three storage spaces 4, and each of the three second spaces 3 is adjacent to the first space 2 via a storage space 4. In the building 10A, when storing the stored item H, the user does not need to move through the corridor 1 as shown in the movement route A3 in FIG. 8, so the stored item H can be stored and removed efficiently.

[0057] In the above-described embodiment, the state of the top of the placement section 41 and the state of the stored items H (presence, position, number, and type of the stored items H) are determined (judged) by the user visually checking the display device 45. However, the method of determining the state of the top of the placement section 41 and the state of the stored items H is not limited to this.

[0058] For example, the control device 47 may perform machine learning on the relationship between the image and the state of the placement unit 41 or the stored object H, and based on the learning result, determine the state of the top of the placement unit 41 and the state of the stored object H from the captured image captured by the imaging device 44. In this case, the control device 47 may perform machine learning to derive a suitable amount of rotational movement of the placement unit 41 from the state of the placement unit 41 and the stored object H, and based on the learning result, determine the amount of rotation according to the current state of the placement unit 41 and the stored object H, and control the drive mechanism 43 to rotate the placement unit 41 according to the amount of rotation. Also, for example, a non-contact sensor may read a tag such as an RFID tag attached to the stored item H, and the control device 47 may determine the type and position of the stored item H within the storage space 4 from the read information.

[0059] In the above-described embodiment, the drive mechanism 43 is controlled by the user's input operation received by the input device 46. However, the method of controlling the drive mechanism 43 is not limited to this. For example, when the first door 20 or the second door 30 is opened, the control device 47 may control the drive mechanism 43 to automatically rotate the placement unit 41.

[0060] In the above embodiment, the user stores the stored item H from the first space 2 through the first door 20 into the storage space 4, and removes the stored item H from the second space 3 through the second door 30. However, the usage of the building 10 is not limited to this. For example, the user may store the stored item H from the second space 3 into the storage space 4 and take it out from the storage space 4 to the first space 2. This type of usage allows the user to efficiently transport the used stored item H from the second space 3 to the first space 2 without having to travel along a path via the corridor 1 (more specifically, a path in the opposite direction to the path A1 shown in FIG. 1).
