Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a nursing room that is installed in a building by assembling wall panels. More specifically, it relates to a nursing room that allows a woman to easily change diapers and breastfeed her baby without removing the stroller, even when she enters the room with her baby.

[0002] Specifically, this relates to a nursing room in which a folding door that does not require a lower rail is installed below the entrance and exit, and when entering the nursing room, a sleeping infant can be prepared for nursing and then fed while the infant is lying down, without being woken up by vibrations caused by a stroller going over the lower rail, etc. [Background technology]

[0003] Public facilities and large commercial facilities that are frequented by many people have traditionally provided shared nursing spaces. Due to the spread of COVID-19, many types of simple indoor nursing booths have been developed for installation within buildings. There is a growing need for a single booth that can accommodate not only office work and meetings, but also breastfeeding and diaper changing.

[0004] Patent Document 1 discloses a technology for a compact nursery room unit that can be easily installed within a limited space within a building. According to this technology, in the horizontal cross section of the main body, at least one corner wall surface is curved, and the door that serves as the entrance is also curved so as to fit along the corner and slides along a rail.

[0005] This technology has the problem that because the wall surface is curved, it is difficult to assemble on-site at the installation location. In addition, because casters are attached to the bottom end of the door formed on the curved surface, not only do the caster movements leave marks on the floor of the installation location, but it also makes it difficult to transport and install at the installation location.

[0006] Patent Document 2 discloses a technology for a nursing room that can be installed inside a building, with a box-shaped enclosure containing a chair large enough for one nursing person to sit on, and casters for moving the enclosure. With this technology, even if a door is installed on the right or left side of the front of the nursing room, the chair can be installed accordingly, making it easy to change the layout of the nursing space.

[0007] However, with this technology, the floor of the nursing room is not flush with the floor of the building in which it is installed, so it is not possible to enter the nursing room by pushing a stroller. In order for parents with infants in strollers to enter the room, they must park the stroller in an area outside the nursing room and remove the infant from the stroller before entering. This requires parents to breastfeed while managing the stroller outside the nursing room, which poses the problem of inconvenience.

[0008] Patent Document 3 discloses a booth device technology that has excellent sound emission suppression capabilities without impeding the spraying of water from sprinklers. According to this technology, a strip-shaped sound-absorbing material formed into a lattice with many holes is installed on the ceiling, which is said to be able to attenuate the sound generated inside the booth device while ensuring the spraying function of sprinklers and the like.

[0009] However, with this technology, the horizontal plate on the top surface that holds the lattice section is fixed to the top frame with screws, so the lattice section, which is made of strip-shaped sound-absorbing material, cannot be removed.When the lock that can be opened and closed only from the inside of the room is engaged, the inside and outside are completely separated, and the door cannot be opened or closed from the outside, which is an issue.

[0010] Patent Document 4 discloses a booth technology in which a gate-shaped doorway frame is integrated with a U-shaped floor frame, and wall panels are attached to the wall positions, allowing wheelchairs to enter through the doorway. This technology is said to enable smooth entry and exit into the interior space with the door panel door itself open.

[0011] However, because the frame must first be assembled and then the wall panels attached to it, installation is cumbersome. Furthermore, if the door opens outward, the door handle is positioned too far away when a stroller is placed inside the booth, and if the door opens inward, there is no space to accommodate a stroller. Therefore, this technology has the drawback of being difficult to apply to nursing rooms that can be easily installed inside buildings.

[0012] Small panels used in furniture and other items are joined together using a variety of joining methods. For example, dowel holes are drilled in the opposing surfaces of two panels, and dowel shafts slightly thicker than the dowel holes are fitted into both holes to join the two panels together. Another method involves protruding a shaft with an enlarged head from one panel and embedding a clamping disk with a forked locking portion in the other panel, positioning the enlarged head on the arcuate track of the clamping disk, then rotating the clamping disk to hook the enlarged head onto the forked locking portion and draw the enlarged head toward the center of the clamping disk to tighten and join the panels together. Another method involves joining the panels together using screws.

[0013] However, when attempting to integrate the large wall panels that make up the indoor installation room using conventional integration methods, there was a risk that the joints would not be strong enough, and increasing the number of joints would increase the effort and cost required to integrate them.

[0014] Patent Document 5 discloses a technology for a connecting structure of wall panels that has tubular frames on both sides. According to the technology described in Patent Document 5, tubular frames are provided on the sides of two wall panels to be connected, and vertically elongated holes of the same shape, with a wide upper portion and a narrow lower portion, are drilled at opposing positions on each tubular frame.

[0015] An elongated member with an L-shaped cross section is then inserted into one of the cylindrical frames along the cylindrical frame with its upper portion protruding from the other cylindrical frame. The screw with an enlarged head is then fixed to the elongated member so that its enlarged head passes through the wide portion of the vertically elongated hole and protrudes onto the opposing surface of the cylindrical frame.

[0016] Then, the enlarged head of one of the cylindrical frames is fitted into the wide hole of the other cylindrical frame, and with the two cylindrical frames close together, the long member protruding upward from one of the cylindrical frames is dropped downward. This causes the edges of the narrow holes in the two cylindrical frames to be clamped between the enlarged head of the screw with the enlarged head and the long member, thereby tightening the opposing surfaces of the two cylindrical frames.

[0017] This technique requires cylindrical frames on both side edges of the wall panel, and the top of the cylindrical frames must be open in order to drop the long members into the cylindrical frames, which poses the problem that it cannot be applied to wall panel structures in which the wall panel bodies are assembled by touching them together.

[0018] Patent Document 6 discloses a technology for a connecting device that connects low partitions by moving them vertically. According to the technology described in Patent Document 6, an engaging claw is provided on one of the contact surfaces of the end cover and corner post that make up the low partition, and an engaging hole is provided on the other, and the two components are connected by fitting the engaging claw into the engaging hole and moving it vertically.

[0019] According to this technology, four engagement claws are provided at the upper position and four at the lower position, and after they are fitted together, a lock pin is activated to horizontally engage the two components, preventing the two panels from sliding up and down. According to this technology, both the engagement claws and engagement holes are provided in metal corner posts or end covers. However, because the engagement claws are plate-shaped members and the engagement holes are narrow slits, there was a problem in that it was time-consuming to align and engage the multiple engagement claws with the engagement holes.

[0020] According to the wall panel structure to which the technology described in Patent Document 5 or Patent Document 6 is applied, it is possible to assemble large wall panels that form an indoor installation booth with high strength. However, there is a problem in that it is necessary to attach a cylindrical frame or the like to the contact surface between the two panels, and it cannot be applied to a connecting structure that directly connects the wall panel bodies.

[0022] To provide a nursing room in which a person who sets up the nursing room can easily set up the room by freely and inexpensively deciding the layout of fixtures and assembling wall panels, and in which an infant in a stroller is not woken up by vibrations when entering the room and an infant can be fed after preparations for feeding are made. [Means for solving the problem]

[0023] The first invention of the present invention is a nursing room to be installed within a building, the space forming the nursing room being constructed by assembling wall panels made of wall boards and narrow wall boards, with at least three of the four sides being surrounded by the wall boards, one side being surrounded by the narrow wall board and an entrance / exit and a rectangular parallelepiped space with an open floor, the space having a stroller storage space and a nursing space, the length of each of the two horizontal directions where the storage space intersects being longer than the longitudinal length of the stroller, the entrance / exit being a folding door with a free end at the bottom and no lower rail, so that a stroller can be brought into the nursing room from outside without being obstructed by the lower rail and the mother can nurse in the nursing space.

[0024] The nursing room of the present invention is constructed by assembling wall panels, so there are no protrusions inside the room that would hinder movement and nursing actions, and it can be assembled and installed easily in a short time.In addition, there is no lower rail for the folding door on the floor below the entrance to the nursing room, so strollers can enter the room without being subjected to vibration, making it easier to nurse without waking up a sleeping baby.

[0025] The bi-folding door is narrower than the entrance when folded, so it does not obstruct the passage or movement of people inside or outside the nursing room. The storage space for a stroller is large enough to store the stroller in the same orientation as when it was brought in, or even when turned at a right angle, making it easy to fold. It is also possible to prepare for nursing without folding the stroller. Even if you are bringing a toddler with you, the large space allows you to bring the toddler into the room.

[0026] According to the present invention, a person who sets up a nursing room can select a desired baby bed and nursing sofa, and set up the nursing room by arranging the equipment cheaply and freely, and can bring about the effect that an infant in a stroller can be allowed to enter the room without waking it, and the infant can be fed after preparation for feeding has been made.

[0027] The second invention of the present invention is a nursing room according to the first invention, further comprising an upper frame inside the doorway and a folding door rail above the doorway for sliding the folding door, the upper frame extending along the interior surfaces of the narrow wall panel and the doorway and fixed at both ends to the adjacent wall panel, the folding door rail being fixed along the upper frame, the folding door being of a bifold type, with the folding part being located at 1 / 3 of the width of the folding door and being divided into a 1 / 3 width part and a 2 / 3 width part, and the 1 / 3 width part being a fixed hinge point of the folding door. The folding door is characterized in that the folding door is arranged on the sliding side, the 2 / 3 width portion is arranged on the sliding side, the front hanging portion of the sliding side of the folding door is located at the width center portion of the 2 / 3 width portion, the lower axis of the 1 / 3 width portion is journaled on a hanging metal fitting protruding from the lower portion of the end side of the wall panel that forms the side wall of the entrance / exit, the upper axis of the 1 / 3 width portion is journaled on a fixed hanging portion at the upper part of the folding door rail on the side wall side, the upper axis of the 2 / 3 width portion is hung from the folding door rail, and the lower end of the 2 / 3 width portion is a free end.

[0028] In the second invention, an upper frame that secures the rail frame that houses the folding door rail extends along the narrow wall panel and the entrance and is fixed to the wall panels on both sides, so the entire nursing room is firmly integrated and the folding door opens and closes smoothly. The folding part of the folding door is located at 1 / 3 of the width of the folding door, so when the folding door is opened to form an entrance and exit, only 1 / 3 of the width of the folding door protrudes to the inside and outside of the room, respectively, so when the folding door is open, it is less likely to interfere with the movement of people inside and outside the nursing room. The folding part may be located either on the inside or outside of the room.

[0029] According to the second invention, the upper frame is fixed above the entrance and exit, so the entire nursing room is firmly integrated, the folding door opens and closes smoothly, and the protruding dimensions of the folding door inside and outside are small, so it is less likely to obstruct the passage and movement of people inside and outside the nursing room, and the folding door can be opened and closed easily.

[0030] The third invention of the present invention is characterized in that, in the nursing room of the first invention, locks for the folding door are installed on the upper and lower inner surfaces of the position where the folding door and the narrow wall panel meet, the lower lock is an emergency lock that can be unlocked from the outside in an emergency, and the upper lock is a locking type lock that can only be operated from inside the nursing room and engages with a locking part, and the locking type lock is located at a height of more than 3 / 4 of the height of the folding door.

[0031] In the third invention, when a parent with a toddler and an infant is breastfeeding the infant, even if the infant unlocks the lower lock by itself, if the upper lock, which is located in a high position out of the infant's reach, is locked, the infant will not go outside by itself, and the parent can breastfeed with peace of mind.

[0032] According to the third invention, even if a parent is accompanied by a small child in addition to an infant, if the upper lock of the nursing room is locked, privacy is ensured and the small child is prevented from unlocking the lock and leaving on their own, allowing the parent to breastfeed with peace of mind.

[0033] The fourth invention of the present invention is characterized in that, in the nursing room of the second invention, locks for the folding door are installed on the upper and lower inner surfaces of the position where the folding door and the narrow wall panel meet, the lower lock is an emergency lock that can be unlocked from the outside in an emergency, and the upper lock is a locking type lock that can be operated only from inside the nursing room and engages with a locking part, and the locking type lock is located at a height of more than 3 / 4 of the height of the folding door.

[0034] In the fourth invention, even if a parent is accompanied by a small child in addition to an infant, if the upper lock of the nursing room is locked, privacy is ensured and the small child is prevented from unlocking the lock and leaving on their own, allowing the parent to breastfeed with peace of mind.

[0035] The fifth invention of the present invention is characterized in that, in the nursing room of the second or fourth invention, the ceiling is a louvered ceiling, and is provided with the wall panels, the narrow wall panels, and a louver receiving frame fixed to the upper frame, and the louvers that make up the louvered ceiling are lattice louvers, and the lattice louvers are placed on the louver receiving frame, and the lattice louvers are removable from the upper side of the lattice louvers.

[0036] According to the fifth aspect of the invention, the louvers are lattice louvers, so the ceiling lighting, fire extinguishing equipment, ventilation equipment, sound equipment, etc. of the room where the nursing room is located can be utilized, eliminating the need to install duplicate equipment inside the nursing room. The person installing the nursing room simply selects and installs a baby bed or nursing sofa in the nursing space, allowing the mother to breastfeed on the baby bed or nursing sofa.

[0037] In addition, the light from the ceiling lighting in the room where it is installed is diffused by the vertical and horizontal grids and enters as soft light. In the event that the parent or guardian is unable to leave the room by themselves while the two locks are still in place, the emergency lock that forms the lower lock can be unlocked from the outside, and a rescuer standing on a stepladder can remove the grid louvers and peer into the nursing room from above, allowing them to unlock the upper lock.

[0038] According to the fifth invention, the caregiver can gently and calmly breastfeed under soft light, and in an emergency the two locks can be unlocked from the outside, allowing for quick rescue, thereby ensuring the safety of the breastfeeding person. [Effects of the Invention]

[0039] According to the first invention, the person setting up the nursing room can select the desired baby bed and nursing sofa, and set up the nursing room inexpensively and freely by arranging the equipment. This has the effect of allowing babies in strollers to enter the room without waking them, and allowing them to prepare for nursing before feeding the baby. According to the second invention, the entire nursing room is firmly integrated, the folding doors open and close smoothly, and the protruding dimensions of the folding doors inside and outside are small, which makes it less likely to obstruct the passage and movement of people inside and outside the nursing room, and makes opening and closing the folding doors easier.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0042] In order to make it easy to assemble the nursing room within the building, it is constructed from wall panels having connecting means, the entrance is a folding door that does not require a lower rail, strollers can enter the room without going over a step, and the nursing room is provided with storage spaces that can store strollers in two intersecting horizontal directions, and a nursing space. [Example]

[0043] In Example 1, a nursing room 1 will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 6. Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the nursing room, and Figure 2 shows a front view of the nursing room 1. Figure 3 shows an explanatory diagram of the nursing room 1 in use, using a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in Figure 2.

[0044] Figure 4 shows a perspective view of the configuration of the wall panel connecting means at position C in Figure 3. Figure 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the folding door hanging position as viewed from inside the nursing room. Figure 6 is a side view of the entrance / exit side of the nursing room as viewed from inside the nursing room. In the following examples, the side with the entrance / exit will be referred to as the front, the left side as viewed from outside the nursing room toward the front as the left side, the right side as viewed toward the front as the right side, and the side opposite the front as the back.

[0045] Nursing room 1 is assembled by connecting wall panels consisting of wall board 10 and narrow wall board 11 with connecting means 100. Nursing room 1 is designed to accommodate a stroller 2 (see Figure 3) carrying an infant, and so to prevent the nursing room from moving easily even if stroller 2 hits the wall panel, only height adjustment adjusters 12 are provided below the wall panel, and no casters are provided for movement. To make it easy to move and fold stroller 2, the floor of the building in which it is installed is used as the floor of nursing room 1 (see Figure 2).

[0046] The entrance 20 to the nursing room 1 is sandwiched between a left wall panel 10 and a narrow wall panel 11 that are perpendicular to the entrance direction, and the folding door 30 located on the left side of the front is arranged on the same plane as the narrow wall panel 11 (see Figure 1). The folding door 30 is divided into a 1 / 3 width section 31 and a 2 / 3 width section 32 of the folding door width, and the left end of the 1 / 3 width section is pivoted to a fixed hanging point 33 (see Figure 2) at the left end of the entrance 20.

[0047] The center position of the 2 / 3 width section 32 is the front hanging section 34, which slides along the folding door rail 40 (see Figure 5) as the folding door is folded open or closed. The lower part of the fixed hanging side of the 1 / 3 width section 31 of the folding door 30 is pivotally supported by an L-shaped fixing bracket 35 fixed to the end of the wall panel perpendicular to the direction of the entrance / exit 20. Since the folding door 30 is suspended only by the folding door rail 40, excluding the pivotal support part below the fixed hanging side, a lower rail is not required, and wheels for sliding the folding door are also not required.

[0048] Vertically extending opening / closing handles 36 are provided on the inside and outside of the folding door 30 at the center of the height of the front end of the door. When entering the room, the outside opening / closing handle 36 is grasped and slid to the left, opening the folding door 30 so that the folding part of the folding door 30 faces the room, thereby opening the entrance / exit 20 (see Figure 3). After the caregiver enters the nursing room through the entrance / exit with the stroller 2, they grasp the inside opening / closing handle 36 and slide it to the right to close the folding door 30, thereby closing the entrance / exit.

[0049] Three milky white circular windows 37 are provided above the center of the folding door, hiding the interior from view from the outside while allowing the occupancy status of the nursing room to be seen from the outside. Additionally, an upper lock 38 and a lower lock 39 are provided on the interior side of the folding door 30, one above the other (see Figure 6). Both the upper lock 38 and the lower lock 39 are latches that are locked when a locking hook catches on the locking shaft.

[0050] The lower lock 39 is an indicator lock that allows the lock status to be seen from the outside, and when it is locked from the inside it displays red, and when it is not locked from the inside it displays blue. Also, even if the lower lock is locked from the inside, it is an emergency lock that can be unlocked in an emergency by inserting a key into the keyhole and twisting it, which will rotate the latch and unlock the lock.

[0051] The upper lock 38 is a latch lock that can be operated only from the inside to lock the door open or closed. The upper lock 38 is installed at a height of at least 3 / 4 of the height of the folding door, out of the reach of infants, so that when a guardian is in the nursing room with an infant, the infant cannot unlock the lock and leave by themselves (see Figure 6). Because the infant will not leave alone, the guardian can breastfeed, change diapers, etc. with peace of mind.

[0052] The spatial configuration of the nursing room will now be described with reference to Figure 3. Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A in Figure 2. In nursing room 1, a preparation table 50 is installed in a wall position desired by the installer. This nursing room is made of a combination of wall panels based on wood or other materials and thin wall panels, so the preparation table 50 can be installed in a position desired by the installer by nailing or the like. Of course, a diaper changing bed 51, a nursing sofa 52, lighting equipment, emergency call equipment, emergency detection equipment using a motion sensor, etc. may also be installed in desired positions.

[0053] The nursing room has a space 53 for storing a stroller at the position where you enter after opening the doorway. With stroller 2 coming straight into the room through the doorway, you can use preparation table 50 to prepare for breastfeeding or changing a diaper, then change the baby's diaper on diaper changing bed 51 and breastfeed the baby on nursing sofa 52. If you are bringing an infant, you can first have the infant enter storage space 53, store the stroller sideways on the doorway side of the storage space, and then prepare to breastfeed after the infant is inside the room.

[0054] By folding the stroller 2, the storage space 53 of the stroller 2 can be made larger, and after locking the upper lock 38, the infant can relax, while the parent or guardian can prepare to breastfeed in the spacious storage space 53. In Figure 3, a diaper changing bed 51 and a nursing sofa 52 are installed in the nursing space 54, but the installer may install any furniture and fixtures he or she desires.

[0055] Referring to Figure 4, the connecting means 100 for assembling the wall panels will be described. Figure 4 shows the connecting means 100 provided at the joint surface between the wall panels 10 at the position surrounded by C in Figure 3. The connecting means 100 is not limited to this position, and can be provided in multiple stages in the vertical direction not only at position C where the end face of one wall panel 10 faces the end face of another wall panel 10, but also at position B where the wall panel surface faces the end face of another wall panel. At the back of the nursing room 1, two wall panels 10 are connected to form the back wall panel.

[0056] A plurality of sets of connecting means 100 are provided above and below the two wall panels 10, 10 where they face each other. One of the connecting means is a fitting portion 110, and the other is a receiving portion 120. The fitting portion 110 is an integrated connecting tool consisting of a support plate portion 111, a fitting portion 112, and legs 113.

[0057] The fitting portion 110 is formed by embedding the leg portion 113 of the connecting means into a hole drilled at the end of the wall panel 10, with a narrow support plate portion 111 forming the base at the tip of the leg portion 113, and fitting portions 112 with smoothly narrowed corners at the tip of the base protruding from the end of the wall panel 10.

[0058] The receiving portion 120 is formed by carving an open groove 121 and a slit 122 into the end of the wall panel 10. The open groove 121 is positioned toward the fitting portion 110 with its open end facing the fitting portion 110, and the slit 122 is formed below the open groove 121. The open width of the open groove 121 is wider than the width of the fitting portion 112 of the fitting portion. The gap width of the slit 122 is narrower than the fitting portion 112 and wider than the support plate portion 111, and the gap depth of the slit 122 is formed to be the same as the protruding height of the support plate portion 111.

[0059] The front end of the fitting portion 112, which has a narrowed shape at the front, is inserted into the open groove portion 121, and the fitting portion 112 is slid down along the groove of the open groove portion 121 (see the white arrow in Figure 5), whereby the support plate portion 111 located at the base of the fitting portion 112 is stored while being sandwiched between the slit portion 122, and the two wall panels 10, 10 are connected.

[0060] Adjacent wall panels 10, 10 are assembled with the heights of the tops of the wall panels aligned, with the fitting portion 110 forming the connecting means higher than the receiving portion 120 so that the fitting portion 112 is at the same height as the slit portion 122. Adjacent wall panels 10, 10 are provided with connecting means 100 in at least two locations, one above the other, facing each other.

[0061] First, the joining surfaces of the two wall panels 10, 10 are placed parallel to each other, and the wall panel 10 equipped with the fitting portion 110 is made higher than the wall panel 10 equipped with the receiving portion 120 by the height of the fitting portion 112. The fitting portion 112 is then inserted from the side into the open groove portion 121, and the fitting portion 112 is dropped from the open groove portion 121 into the slit portion 122 to connect the adjacent wall panels.

[0062] When assembling the wall panels of nursing room 1, it is preferable to connect the wall panels starting from one side, in order, starting with the wall panels having receiving section 120, for example, connecting right-side wall panel 10 to narrow wall panel 11, connecting the rear wall panel to the right-side wall panel, etc. Once all wall panels 10 and narrow wall panels 11 are assembled together, it is recommended to adjust the height of height adjustment adjusters 12 provided below each wall panel to adjust the verticality of each wall panel and the verticality of the entire nursing room.

[0063] Then, the louver receiving frame 41 of the ceiling louvers is fixed to the top of the connected wall panels 11, 10, 10, ... with screws or the like so that adjacent wall panels 11, 10, 10, ... do not shift up and down, and the surrounding wall panels are tightly fastened together. Because all of the wall panels are tightly fastened together, it is easy to lift the nursing room 1 and move it to the desired installation location.

[0064] With the front narrow wall panel 11, the right wall panel 10, the back wall panels 10, 10, and the left wall panel 10 tightly fastened together, an upper frame 42 connecting the left and right wall panels 10 is fixed to the inside upper part of the narrow wall panel 11 with screws or the like. Because the upper frame 42 extends along the back of the narrow wall panel 11, even if only the upper frame 42 connects the left and right wall panels 10, 10 above the doorway 20, the wall panels of the nursing room 1 cannot be easily separated.

[0065] The rail frame 43 with the folding door rail 40 stored in it is fixed with screws or the like so that it is in contact with the outside of the upper frame 42, and the outer surface of the rail frame 43 is flush with the outer surface of the narrow wall panel 11. The head of the hanging shaft located at the left end of the 1 / 3 width section 31 of the folding door 30 and the head of the hanging shaft in the center of the 2 / 3 width section are hung on the C-shaped folding door rail 40, which is open at the bottom. Then, the hanging shaft on the hanging side of the 1 / 3 width section 31 is used as the fixed shaft, and the lower end of the 1 / 3 width section 31 is supported by the hanging bracket 35, and the folding door 30 is attached to the wall structure of the nursing room 1.

[0066] Because the folding door 30 does not require a lower rail, there is no need to overcome a step when pushing the stroller 2 through the entrance 20, and sleeping babies will not be woken up by vibrations. Also, parents using wheelchairs can enter the nursing room 1 and breastfeed their babies.

[0067] Locks are attached to the folding door 30 at the positions of the upper lock 38 and the lower lock 39 so that the locking shaft and locking hook correspond to each other. The folding door is slid while the front hanging part 34 (see Figure 3) in the center of the 2 / 3 width part 32 is supported by the folding door rail 40, and when the doorway is open, the front 1 / 3 of the width of the 2 / 3 width part 32 is outside the nursing room, and the 1 / 3 of the width of the folding door from the hanging shaft is inside the nursing room. For example, if the folding door width is 1.2 m, the folding door will only protrude 40 cm into and out of the room, making it unlikely to obstruct the passage and movement of people inside and outside the nursing room 1.

[0068] Furthermore, lattice louvers 60 are placed on the upper frame at the front and on the tops of the right, left, and rear wall panels. Upper frame 42 is a ribbed member with a wide rectangular cross section, with the upper part on the interior side carved out to serve as a lattice louver support, so that the front part of the nursing room where the entrance and exit will be installed will be strong. Louver support frame 41 is fixed to the upper part of the right, rear, and left wall panel with screws or the like, and is a ribbed member with a narrow rectangular cross section, with the upper part on the interior side carved out to serve as a lattice louver support, so that it only needs to secure the wall panels 11, 10, 10, ... and prevent them from shifting up and down and becoming separated.

[0069] The lattice louvers 60 are removably placed on the upper frame 42 at the front and the louver receiving frames 41 on the other three sides. In the nursing room 1, two auxiliary louver receiving frames 44, 44 are provided from the upper frame toward the louver receiving frame 41 at the back (see Figure 1), dividing the ceiling surface into three rows on which the lattice louvers 60, 60, 60 can be placed. Because the lattice louvers 60 are simply placed on the louver receiving frames 41 or the auxiliary louver receiving frames 44, the lattice louvers 60 can be easily removed from the top of the nursing room.

[0070] The upper lock 38 is provided at a height of ¾ or more of the height of the folding door 30, so that in an emergency, to unlock the upper lock 38, a person standing on a stepladder can lift the entrance side of the lattice louvers 60 in the center row and look into the nursing room, thereby unlocking the upper lock 38 from inside the nursing room.

[0071] The lattice louvers 60 are made of approximately 4cm wide resin strips that are assembled vertically and horizontally across the entire ceiling surface to form a grid of approximately 3cm. The light from the ceiling lighting in the room where the nursing room is installed is diffused by the vertically and horizontally arranged strips that make up the lattice louvers, brightening the nursing room and creating a soft, calming lighting environment inside the nursing room, allowing parents to nurse in a relaxed atmosphere.

[0072] In the space shown in Figure 3, the concentration and temperature of nursing milk can be adjusted on a preparation table 50 (see Figure 3), replacement disposable diapers and other items can be prepared, diaper changes can be performed on a diaper changing bed 51, and nursing can be performed on a nursing sofa 52. Of course, a motion sensor can be installed in the nursing room, and if an emergency is anticipated, an emergency notification can be sent when the motion sensor detects no human movement.

[0073] (others) In the first embodiment, an example of the connecting means 100 for assembling wall panels without using bolts or the like is shown in FIG. 4, but the form of the connecting means is not limited, and any connecting means may be used as long as it allows the thin wall panels 11 and the wall panels 10 to be easily assembled into the wall structure. Although the ceiling louvers are lattice louvers 60, the spacing between the lattices, the shape of the lattice, etc. are not limited. The nursing room 1 has no lower rail at the entrance / exit 20, making it easy to enter without causing strollers to vibrate. In addition, there are no lower wheels supporting the folding door 30, so wheel marks are not left on the floor of the building.

[0074] Furthermore, by reversing the assembly procedure, the ceiling louvers 60, the folding door 30, the upper frame 42 and the louver receiving frame 41 are removed, and the wall panels with the fitting portions 110 are lifted up and removed in order, and the wall panels are separated in order, so that the wall panels can be separated into parts that can be transported within the building and can be easily moved to another location. The connecting means 100 shown in the first embodiment is not limited to nursing rooms, and can of course be applied to indoor installation booths for assembling wall panels for other purposes. Furthermore, the vertical fixation of the wall panels connected by the connecting means is not limited to the louver receiving frame, and any wall panel fixing device such as a plate, shaft member, or surface member attached across adjacent connected wall panels can be used. The embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative in all respects and should not be considered limiting. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above description, but is defined by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims.
