[0008] <Overview> The first booth according to one aspect of the present invention includes a housing in which an internal space usable by a user is formed, an air conditioning unit that air-conditions the inside of the housing, a drain water atomizing unit that atomizes drain water generated by the air conditioning unit, and a discharge unit for discharging the drain water atomized by the drain water atomizing unit to the outside of the housing, the discharge unit including a portion located outside the housing. Thereby, it is possible to make it difficult for drain water to accumulate in the booth.
[0009] The second booth according to another aspect of the present invention further includes a drain water storage unit that stores the drain water generated in the air conditioning unit in the first booth, and the drain water atomizing unit atomizes the drain water supplied from the drain water storage unit. By temporarily storing the drain water before it is processed by the drain water atomizing unit, it is possible to suppress the inflow of drain water exceeding the processing capacity of the drain water atomizing unit into the drain water atomizing unit.
[0010] The third booth according to another aspect of the present invention, in the first or second booth, the discharge unit has a discharge port for discharging the atomized drain water outside the housing, and the discharge port opens downward. As a result, the atomized drain water will be discharged downward. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the atomized drain water from rising high or spreading laterally around the booth.
[0011] The fourth booth according to another aspect of the present invention, in the first to third booths, further includes a mounting table disposed inside the housing on which the air conditioning unit is mounted, the mounting table includes an upper plate portion on which the air conditioning unit is mounted, and a storage space for accommodating at least one of the drain water storage unit and the drain water atomizing unit is formed below the upper plate portion. As a result, a storage space for at least one of the drain water storage unit and the drain water atomizing unit can be formed below the mounting table, and the limited space inside the booth can be effectively utilized.
[0012] The fifth booth according to another aspect of the present invention, in the first to fourth booths, further includes an exhaust unit for discharging the air after heat exchange in the air conditioning unit outside the housing, the exhaust unit is provided on the side wall of the housing where the discharge unit is provided, and the exhaust port of the exhaust unit opens downward. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the atomized drain water from rising and floating in the space around the booth by the flow of the air discharged from the exhaust port.
[0013] The sixth booth according to another aspect of the present invention is the same as the first to fifth booths, wherein the air conditioning unit includes a condenser that condenses the refrigerant by heat exchange with air, and the exhaust unit discharges the air that has exchanged heat with the refrigerant in the condenser from the exhaust port. As a result, the air discharged from the exhaust port is hot air whose temperature has risen by exchanging heat with the refrigerant in the condenser, and by discharging the hot air and the atomized drain water from the same side surface of the housing, evaporation of the drain water can be promoted.
[0014] The seventh booth according to another aspect of the present invention is the same as the first to sixth booths, wherein the air conditioning unit further includes an evaporator that evaporates the refrigerant by heat exchange with air, and further includes an air conditioning chamber unit that blows out the air that has exchanged heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator toward the user. As a result, the blowing direction of the cold air in the booth can be appropriately adjusted by the air conditioning chamber unit. Note that, when focusing on the effects due to the configuration of each of the second to seventh booths, the configuration of the invention of other booths may or may not be included.
[0015] <Embodiment> 1. Overview As shown in FIG. 1, booth X has a vertically long box shape and has a space (internal space) that can be used by a user inside. As shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, booth X includes at least a housing 1, an air conditioning unit 2, a drain water atomizing unit 3, and an exhaust unit 4. Booth X may include at least one of a drain water storage unit 5, an exhaust unit 6, a mounting table 7, and an air conditioning chamber unit 8, and booth X according to the present embodiment includes all of these configurations. Booth X may include at least one of a desk 91, a management box unit 92, a ventilation unit 93, and an automatic fire extinguishing unit 94, and booth X according to the present embodiment includes all of these configurations. Hereinafter, each part of booth X will be described.
[0016] 2. Each Part (1) Housing The housing 1 has a box shape with a rectangular, square, triangular, or polygonal shape with five or more sides, circular, elliptical, or a shape similar thereto in a cross-sectional shape along the horizontal direction. The housing 1 includes a box body 11 (Fig. 2(a)) having an opening 11a, and a door body 12 (Fig. 1(a)) that closably closes the opening 11a of the box body 11. In the present embodiment, the side where the door body 12 is provided is defined as the left side, the side opposite to the door body 12 is defined as the right side, the side where the desk 91 is provided is defined as the front side, and the side opposite to the desk 91 is defined as the rear side. The box body 11 has a frame 13 and a wall 14. The frame 13 has four vertical frame portions 13a, an upper horizontal frame portion 13b that connects the upper ends of the vertical frame portions 13a, and a lower horizontal frame portion 13c that connects the lower ends of the vertical frame portions 13a. The wall 14 is attached inside the frame 13. As shown in Fig. 1, the wall 14 has a front wall portion 14c, a rear wall portion 14d, a right wall portion 14b, a left wall portion 14a, a top wall portion 14e, and a bottom wall portion 14f. Note that the front wall portion 14c, the rear wall portion 14d, the right wall portion 14b, and the left wall portion 14a are also part of the side wall portion or the peripheral wall portion. The left wall portion 14a is smaller in width in the front-rear direction than the right wall portion 14b. As shown in Fig. 2(a), a rectangular opening 11a that is long in the vertical direction is formed between the left wall portion 14a and the left rear vertical frame portion 13a. The door body 12 is supported by a hinge 13d of the frame 13 so as to be rotatable (openable and closable) around an axis extending in the vertical direction. Note that the door body 12 is not limited to a single-opening hinge type, and may be a slide type or a double-opening type. A desk 91 is provided on the inner surface of the front wall portion 14c. As shown in Fig. 2, the desk 91 is located slightly below the central portion in the vertical direction on the inner surface of the front wall portion 14c, and is provided in a horizontal posture so as to protrude from the front wall portion 14c toward the rear wall portion 14d. The tip portion of the desk 91 (the portion opposite to the portion attached to the front wall portion 14c) is located on the rear side of the edge of the opening 11a. As shown in Fig. 2(b), on the bottom side of the housing 1, there are provided a plurality of wheels 15 for facilitating the movement of the booth X and a plurality of legs 16 for fixedly supporting the booth X with respect to the floor and enabling height adjustment, which are provided on the plate 17. The plate 17 is provided at each of the four corners of a frame body constituted by four lower horizontal frame portions 13c.
[0017] (2) Air conditioning unit The air conditioning unit 2 thermally regulates the internal space of the housing 1 and has at least a cooling function. Note that the air conditioning unit 2 may have both a cooling function and a heating function, and may further have a dehumidifying function or an air cleaning function. The air conditioning unit 2 cools the air in the housing 1 by the latent heat of vaporization (heat of vaporization) when the refrigerant changes from a liquid to a gas. As shown in Fig. 3, the air conditioning unit 2 includes an evaporator 21 that vaporizes the refrigerant by heat exchange with air, a compressor 22 that compresses the gaseous refrigerant evaporated by the evaporator 21, a condenser 23 that condenses the refrigerant by heat exchange with air, and an expansion valve 24 that decompresses the liquid refrigerant, and has a refrigeration cycle inside. Thereby, cold air is generated in the evaporator 21 and warm air is generated in the condenser 23. On the other hand, drain water is generated in the evaporator 21. The cold air is blown out from the air conditioning chamber portion 8 toward the user. On the other hand, the warm air is exhausted to the outside of the housing 1 from the exhaust portion 6. The drain water is sent to the drain water atomizing portion 3 via the drain water storage portion 5, atomized by the drain water atomizing portion 3, and then exhausted to the outside of the housing 1 from the discharge portion 4. As shown in Figs. 2 and 4, the air conditioning unit 2 is placed on the upper plate portion 71 of the mounting table 7 and is arranged at a position spaced upward from the bottom wall portion 14f. Note that a supply port for supplying air to the evaporator 21 is provided on the side surface of the case 26 of the air conditioning unit 2. Also, a supply port for supplying air to the condenser 23 is provided on the side surface of the case 26. Further, a fan (not shown) for supplying air to the evaporator 21 and the condenser 23 is arranged in the case 26.
[0018] (3) Drain water atomizing portion The drain water atomization unit 3 atomizes (forms into fine water droplets) the drain water generated in the air conditioning unit 2. In the following description, for the purpose of distinguishing the atomized drain water from the liquid drain water generated in the air conditioning unit 2, it is referred to as "atomized drain water". The drain water atomization unit 3 atomizes the drain water by, for example, an ultrasonic vibrator (not shown), and blows out the atomized drain water from the air outlet. The drain water atomization unit 3 includes at least a tray (not shown) for storing the drain water, an ultrasonic vibrator (not shown) provided in the tray, and an oscillation circuit for operating the ultrasonic vibrator. Further, since the drain water atomization unit 3 blows out the atomized drain water from the air outlet, it further includes a blower (not shown). As shown in Fig. 2(a), the drain water atomization unit 3 is housed in an accommodation space 73 provided below the upper plate portion 71 of the mounting table 7 and is placed on the bottom wall portion 14f of the housing 1. Thereby, the drain water generated in the air conditioning unit 2 can flow down to the side of the drain water atomization unit 3 by the action of gravity.
[0019] (4) Drain water storage section The drain water storage unit 5 stores the drain water (the drain water before being processed by the drain water atomization unit 3) generated in the air conditioning unit 2. The drain water storage unit 5 includes a tank section for storing the drain water flowing down from the air conditioning unit 2, a piping section for supplying the drain water in the tank section to the tray of the drain water atomization unit 3, and a supply means for supplying drain water to the tray when the drain water in the tray of the drain water atomization unit 3 becomes less than or equal to a predetermined amount. This supply means utilizes a float that moves up and down in the tray of the drain water atomization unit 3. When the float descends, the supply port of the piping section is opened, and when the float ascends, the supply port of the piping section is closed. By the supply means, the drain water can be temporarily stored in the drain water storage unit 5 before being processed by the drain water atomization unit 3. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the drain water exceeding the processing capacity of the drain water atomization unit 3 from flowing down to the drain water atomization unit 3. As shown in Fig. 2(a), the drain water storage part 5 is accommodated in the accommodation space 73 below the upper plate part 71 of the mounting table 7 and is arranged above the drain water atomization part 3. Specifically, the drain water storage part 5 is placed on the middle plate part 74 (Fig. 4(a)) horizontally provided above the drain water atomization part 3. Thereby, the drain water generated in the air conditioning part 2 can flow down in the order of the drain water storage part 5 and the drain water atomization part 3 under the action of gravity. As shown in Fig. 4(a), the air conditioning part 2, the drain water storage part 5, and the drain water atomization part 3 are arranged in this order from the upper side to the lower side. Thereby, the pipes connecting the air conditioning part 2 and the drain water storage part 5 and the pipes connecting the drain water storage part 5 and the drain water atomization part 3 can be shortened. Also, since the air conditioning part 2, the drain water storage part 5, and the drain water atomization part 3 are arranged in a state of facing the door body 12 (a state of being close to the right wall part 14b), the internal space (the user's working space) in the housing 1 can be effectively utilized.
[0020] (5) Discharge part The discharge part 4 discharges the atomized drain water atomized by the drain water atomization part 3 to the outside of the housing 1. More specifically, the discharge part 4 includes a part that discharges the drain water to the outside of the housing 1 and is located outside the housing 1. Thereby, it becomes possible to discharge the atomized drain water to the outside of the housing 1. As a result, it becomes possible to prevent the drain water from being discharged in the booth X, and it is possible to prevent water from accumulating in the housing 1. As shown in Fig. 1(b), the discharge part 4 (the outer pipe part 42 described later) is provided on the outer surface of the right wall part 14b of the housing 1. Since the right wall part 14b side is the opposite side of the door body 12, there are fewer passers-by etc. than on the left wall part 14a side. For this reason, by providing the discharge part 4 (the outer pipe part 42 described later) on the outer surface of the right wall part 14b, it is possible to make it difficult to give discomfort to passers-by, and it is possible to make it difficult for the discharge part 4 (the outer pipe part 42 described later) to catch the eye of passers-by. Also, since the drain water atomization part 3 is arranged on the right wall part 14b side, the discharge part 4 (the discharge flow path) can be shortened. As shown in FIG. 4, the discharge part 4 includes an inner pipe part 41 that connects the drain water atomization part 3 (the air outlet thereof) and the opening of the right wall part 14b of the housing 1, and an outer pipe part 42 that is provided at the opening of the right wall part 14b of the housing 1 and communicates with the inner pipe part 41. The inner pipe part 41 extends horizontally toward the right side. Note that the inner pipe part 41 is formed of, for example, a resin pipe, a metal pipe, or the like, but is not limited thereto. The outer pipe part 42 extends downward along the right wall part 14b. Note that the outer pipe part 42 may be formed of, for example, resin or metal, like the inner pipe part 41, but is not limited thereto. As shown in FIG. 4(b), the opening at the lower end of the outer pipe part 42 serves as a discharge port 43. The discharge port 43 opens downward. Here, "downward" means a state where a virtual plane including the edge of the discharge port 43 is parallel to the horizontal direction or inclined at an angle within 45° with respect to the horizontal direction. Thereby, since the atomized drain water rises after being discharged downward, it is possible to prevent the atomized drain water from rising too high. If the atomized drain water rises too high, it may reach the face or the like of a person passing by the periphery of the booth X, which may cause discomfort. In contrast, this can be prevented by adjusting the opening direction of the discharge port 43 as described above. Further, since the discharge port 43 opens downward, it is possible to prevent the atomized drain water from spreading laterally. If the atomized drain water spreads laterally, it may wet the clothes of a person passing by the periphery of the booth X or cause discomfort. Also in this case, it can be dealt with by adjusting the opening direction of the discharge port 43. That is, by opening the discharge port 43 downward, it is possible to suppress the atomized drain water from swirling around the periphery of the booth X. The discharge port 43 is provided below the middle position in the vertical direction of the right wall part 14b of the housing 1. Thereby, before the atomized drain water rises and drifts around the upper part of the booth X, the evaporation of the atomized drain water can be promoted. As a result, it is possible to suppress the atomized drain water from drifting around the upper part of the booth X. As an example, the discharge port 43 is provided at a position 5 cm or more, preferably 10 cm or more, above the installation surface of the booth X. Thereby, it is possible to prevent passers-by around the booth X from catching their feet.
[0021] (6) Exhaust section The exhaust section 6 discharges the air (warm air) after heat exchange with the refrigerant in the air conditioning section 2 (condenser 23) to the outside of the housing 1. Thereby, the warm air after heat exchange can be discharged to the outside of the housing 1, the temperature rise in the booth X can be prevented, and the space in the housing 1 can be efficiently temperature-controlled (cooled). As shown in FIG. 1(b), the exhaust section 6 is provided on the right wall portion 14b of the housing 1. Thereby, it is possible to make it difficult for the warm air discharged from the exhaust section 6 to give discomfort to people, and it is also possible to make the exhaust section 6 difficult to catch people's eyes. Further, since the air conditioning section 2 is provided on the right wall portion 14b side, the exhaust section 6 (exhaust flow path) can be shortened. As shown in FIG. 4, the exhaust section 6 includes an inner pipe portion 61 that connects the air conditioning section 2 (exhaust port) and the opening of the right wall portion 14b of the housing 1, and an outer pipe portion 62 that is provided at the opening of the right wall portion 14b of the housing 1 and communicates with the inner pipe portion 61. The inner pipe portion 61 extends horizontally toward the right side. The inner pipe portion 61 is composed of, for example, a resin pipe, a metal pipe, etc., but is not limited thereto. As shown in FIG. 2, the inner pipe portion 61 is covered by a cover body 65 and thus is not visible to the user. The outer pipe portion 62 extends downward along the right wall portion 14b. Similar to the inner pipe portion 61, the outer pipe portion 62 may be made of, for example, resin or metal, but is not limited thereto. As shown in FIG. 4(b), the opening at the lower end of the outer pipe portion 62 serves as the exhaust port 63 and opens downward. Here, "downward" means a state where the virtual plane including the edge of the exhaust port 63 is parallel to the horizontal direction or inclined at an angle within 45° with respect to the horizontal direction. Thereby, since air (warm air) is discharged downward from the exhaust port 63, it is possible to prevent the air from rising too high. If the warm air rises too high, it may reach the face of a passerby around the booth X and cause discomfort. In contrast, this can be prevented by adjusting the direction in which the exhaust port 63 opens as described above. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the exhaust port 63 is located above the discharge port 43. Thereby, since the air discharged from the exhaust port 63 heads toward the atomized drain water discharged from the discharge port 43, it is possible to suppress the upward movement of the atomized drain water by the wind pressure. As a result, it is possible to suppress the atomized drain water from floating around the upper part of the booth X. Warm air after heat exchange with the refrigerant is discharged from the exhaust port 63. Thereby, since the warm air heads toward the atomized drain water, it is possible to promote the evaporation of the atomized drain water. The exhaust port 63 is provided below the middle position in the height direction of the housing 1. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the warm air from floating around the upper part of the booth X and touching a person's face or the like.
[0022] (7) Mounting table As shown in FIG. 2, the mounting table 7 includes an upper plate portion 71 for mounting the air conditioning unit 2. The upper plate portion 71 is constituted by a top plate. The mounting table 7 includes a pair of side plate portions 72 that support both the front and rear ends of the upper plate portion 71 (in FIG. 4, the front side plate portion 72 is removed). Thereby, the air conditioning unit 2 can be mounted without using the right wall portion 14b, the rear wall portion 14d, and the front wall portion 14c of the housing 1. Also, a space 73 can be formed below the upper plate portion 71. As shown in FIG. 4(b), the mounting table 7 includes a middle plate portion 74 for partitioning the space 73 vertically. Both the front and rear ends of the middle plate portion 74 are supported by side plate portions 72. On the middle plate portion 74, a drain water storage portion 5 is placed. Also, below the middle plate portion 74, a drain water atomizing portion 3 is arranged. That is, the space 73 functions as an accommodation space capable of accommodating the drain water storage portion 5 and the drain water atomizing portion 3.
[0023] (8) Air - conditioning chamber portion The air - conditioning chamber portion 8 blows out the cold air generated by the evaporator 21 of the air - conditioning unit 2 toward the user. As shown in FIG. 4, the air - conditioning chamber portion 8 includes a duct 81 that is connected to the cold - air outlet in the case 26 and extends forward, and a plurality of louvers 83 for adjusting the direction of the cold air blown out from the opening 82 of the duct 81. As shown in FIG. 4(a), the duct 81 extends to a position above the desk 91. The opening 82 is formed on the left side surface of the duct 81, and the louvers 83 are arranged at intervals in the front - rear direction at the opening 82. By adjusting the direction of the louvers 83, the direction of the cold air blown out from the opening 82 of the duct 81 can be adjusted as appropriate. The plurality of louvers 83 are rotatably supported about a rotation axis extending in the vertical direction. By rotating the plurality of louvers 83, the direction of the cold air blown out from the opening 82 of the duct 81 can be adjusted back and forth. The plurality of louvers 83 may be configured to be rotatable manually, or may be configured to be rotatable automatically by a drive motor (not shown). As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the air - conditioning chamber portion 8 is arranged above the desk 91. Thereby, it is possible to make the cold air reach the user's head easily. The duct 81 of the air - conditioning chamber portion 8 is provided on the front surface (the surface on the desk 91 side) of the case 26 of the air - conditioning unit 2. Thereby, the length of the cold - air flow path can be shortened. In addition, when the position where the air - conditioning chamber portion 8 is installed and the position where the user sits are determined, the louvers 83 may be fixed at an angle at which the cold air faces the user.
