DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described. Unless otherwise specified, the same or corresponding parts in the following drawings will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will not be repeated.

[0010] Embodiment 1 <Configuration of escape device> Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an escape device 100 according to the first embodiment provided in a sealed space Q. Fig. 2 is a schematic front view of the escape device 100 according to the first embodiment. The escape device 100 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is provided in a sealed space Q, and mainly includes an escape door 10 and a first opening / closing mechanism 20.

[0011] The inner wall 300 that forms the sealed space Q includes a floor GR, side walls WL, and a ceiling. The sealed space Q is a space surrounded by the floor GR, side walls WL, and ceiling. The side walls WL are continuous with the floor GR and the ceiling. The sealed space Q may be highly airtight and have high sound insulation and soundproofing properties.

[0012] A door 200 is provided on the inner wall 300 of the sealed space Q. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the door 200 is provided on the side wall WL. The door 200 is a door through which a person can enter and exit the sealed space Q. The door 200 includes a second opening / closing mechanism 201.

[0013] The second opening / closing mechanism 201 is operated to open or close the door 200. The second opening / closing mechanism 201 may be, for example, a button that can be pressed by a person, or a lever or handle that can be gripped and turned. In this way, the door 200 is opened or closed by operating the second opening / closing mechanism 201.

[0014] 2, the second opening and closing mechanism 201 is arranged in an area where the height h2 from the floor GR is 100 cm or more. The second opening and closing mechanism 201 may be arranged in an area where the height h2 from the floor GR is 110 cm or more, or may be arranged in an area where the height h2 from the floor GR is 120 cm or more, or may be arranged in an area where the height h2 from the floor GR is 130 cm or more. In other words, a person in the enclosed space Q can operate the second opening and closing mechanism 201 provided on the door 200 while standing.

[0015] The escape door 10 is provided on an inner wall 300 that forms the sealed space Q. The escape door 10 is arranged near the floor GR. In the escape device 100 according to the first embodiment, the escape door 10 is provided on the door 200 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The escape door 10 may be provided directly on the side wall WL, instead of on the door 200, or on the floor GR. The escape door 10 is a door that allows people who have difficulty standing up to escape from the sealed space Q to the outside 400.

[0016] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the first opening and closing mechanism 20 is provided on the escape door 10. The first opening and closing mechanism 20 is operated to open and close the escape door 10. The first opening and closing mechanism 20 may be, for example, a button that can be pressed by a person, or a lever or handle that can be grasped and turned. In this way, the escape door 10 is opened and closed by operating the first opening and closing mechanism 20.

[0017] A storage section may be provided in the escape door 10. The storage section may be, for example, a recessed section provided in the escape door 10. The first opening / closing mechanism 20 may be disposed in the recessed section. In this way, the possibility that the first opening / closing mechanism 20 will interfere with the work of a person in the enclosed space Q can be reduced.

[0018] If the sealed space Q is the internal space of a freezer, the escape door 10 may freeze, which may impair the movement of the escape door 10. In order to prevent the escape door 10 from freezing, a heater (not shown) may be disposed near the boundary between the escape door 10 and surrounding components such as the door 200.

[0019] Typically, a person uses the door 200 to enter or exit the enclosed space Q. However, a problem may occur to the person in the enclosed space Q, preventing the person from standing up. In this case, the person may be trapped in the enclosed space Q. Specifically, if the enclosed space Q is the interior space of a freezer, the floor GR may be frozen. In this case, the person in the enclosed space Q may fall. Furthermore, when entering or exiting the enclosed space Q, the temperature difference between the inside and outside 400 of the enclosed space Q may cause physical abnormalities in the person in the enclosed space Q. Furthermore, the person may injure their back when lifting a heavy object in the enclosed space Q. Thus, if a problem occurs to the person in the enclosed space Q and the person is unable to stand up, the person may be unable to reach the second opening / closing mechanism 201, which is located 100 cm or more from the floor GR. In this case, it becomes difficult for the person to open the door 200.

[0020] 2, the escape device 100 according to the first embodiment is characterized in that it includes an escape door 10, and a first opening / closing mechanism 20 for opening and closing the escape door 10 is disposed near the floor GR. Specifically, the first opening / closing mechanism 20 is disposed in an area of ​​the enclosed space Q at a height h1 from the floor GR of 40 cm or less.

[0021] In this way, even if a person is unable to stand up in the enclosed space Q, the first opening / closing mechanism 20 is disposed within the reach of the person, so the person can open the escape door 10. As a result, the person can easily escape from the enclosed space Q.

[0022] As shown in Fig. 2, a mark MK may be provided on the escape door 10. The mark MK indicates the operating direction of the first opening and closing mechanism 20. As shown in Fig. 2, the shape of the mark MK may be an arrow so that the operating direction of the first opening and closing mechanism 20 can be visually grasped. In this way, a person can easily operate the first opening and closing mechanism 20.

[0023] Next, the opening and closing operation of the escape door 10 will be described. Figures 3 and 4 are schematic perspective views showing one operation of the escape device 100 according to embodiment 1. Figure 3 shows the escape door 10 in a closed state. Figure 4 shows the escape door 10 in an open state.

[0024] As shown in Figure 3, the escape door 10 is closed during work in the enclosed space Q. On the other hand, if a person in the enclosed space Q is unable to stand up, they need to open the escape door 10 and escape to the outside 400 of the enclosed space Q.

[0025] By operating the first opening / closing mechanism 20 in the operating direction indicated by the mark MK, the escape door 10 is opened as shown in Fig. 4. As shown in Fig. 4, the escape door 10 may be a hatch-type door. In this way, even a person who has difficulty standing up can easily escape to the outside 400 of the sealed space Q by crawling along the floor GR. Note that although the escape door 10 shown in Fig. 4 opens toward the inside of the sealed space Q, the escape door 10 may be configured to open toward the outside of the sealed space Q.

[0026] If the first opening / closing mechanism 20 is a lever, the first opening / closing mechanism 20 can be operated by the principle of leverage even if a relatively small force is applied to the first opening / closing mechanism 20. The escape door 10 may also include an auxiliary mechanism (not shown) such as a damper that assists the opening operation of the escape door 10. The damper may be of a spring type or a hydraulic type. In this way, by providing a damper on the escape door 10, the escape door 10 can be opened and closed without applying a large force to the first opening / closing mechanism 20.

[0027] 5 is a functional block diagram of escape device 100 according to embodiment 1. Escape device 100 may include detection means 30 and notification means 31. Detection means 30 is operated by a person. Detection means 30 can detect that detection means 30 has been operated by a person.

[0028] The detection means 30 may be a button that can be pressed by a person. The detection means 30 may be located adjacent to the escape door 10, for example, as shown in Figures 1 to 4.

[0029] The detection means 30 may be a sensor that can detect that the first opening and closing mechanism 20 has been touched or operated. If the detection means 30 is a sensor, the detection means 30 may be disposed in the first opening and closing mechanism 20, for example. By disposing the detection means 30 in the first opening and closing mechanism 20, for example, it is possible to detect that the first opening and closing mechanism 20 has been touched by a person when the person escapes from the enclosed space Q. As the sensor, for example, a touch sensor or other sensors may be used.

[0030] When the detection means 30 is operated, a signal is transmitted from the detection means 30 to the notification means 31. The signal may be transmitted by wire or wirelessly. That is, a conductive wire may be provided to connect the detection means 30 and the notification means 31 and transmit the signal. Alternatively, the detection means 30 may be provided with a transmitter that transmits a radio wave signal as the signal, and the notification means 31 may be provided with a receiver that receives the radio wave signal from the transmitter. The notification means 31 is activated when it receives the signal. In this way, the notification means 31 can notify a person outside 400 of the enclosed space Q that the detection means 30 has been operated.

[0031] The notification means 31 is disposed outside 400 of the enclosed space Q. The outside 400 may be, for example, a monitoring room in a building, a hallway adjacent to the enclosed space Q, or a security company. When the notification means 31 is activated, the notification means 31 can notify people in the monitoring room, hallway, security company, etc. that the detection means 30 has been operated.

[0032] The notification means 31 may be an alarm that notifies people outside 400 that the detection means 30 is operating. The alarm may be a light-emitting device such as a lamp. When the light-emitting device serving as the alarm emits light, people outside 400 can visually recognize that the alarm is operating.

[0033] The alarm may be a device that emits a sound such as an alarm sound. When the alarm emits a sound such as an alarm sound, a person outside 400 can auditorily recognize that detection means 30 is operating.

[0034] In this way, if a problem occurs to someone in the sealed space Q and the door 200 cannot be opened, help can be easily sought from someone outside 400 of the sealed space Q.

[0035] <Action and effect> An escape device 100 according to the present disclosure includes an escape door 10 and a first opening / closing mechanism 20. The escape door 10 is provided on an inner wall 300. The inner wall 300 forms an enclosed space Q. The first opening / closing mechanism 20 is operated to open and close the escape door 10. The first opening / closing mechanism 20 is disposed in an area of ​​the enclosed space Q at a height h1 from the floor GR of 40 cm or less.

[0036] Even if a person in the enclosed space Q encounters a problem and is unable to stand up, the first opening / closing mechanism 20 is within reach of the person, so the person in trouble can easily escape from the enclosed space Q.

[0037] According to the escape device 100, the inner wall 300 is provided with a door 200 that allows a person to enter and exit the enclosed space Q. The door 200 includes a second opening and closing mechanism 201. The second opening and closing mechanism 201 is arranged in an area of ​​the enclosed space Q at a height h1 of 100 cm or more from the floor GR. The second opening and closing mechanism 201 is operated to open and close the door 200. The escape door 10 is provided on the door 200.

[0038] In this way, even if the area where the sealed space Q is formed is relatively small, the escape door 10 can be provided.

[0039] According to the escape device 100, a mark MK is provided on the escape door 10. The mark MK indicates the direction in which the first opening / closing mechanism 20 is operated.

[0040] In this way, a person in the sealed space Q can operate the first opening / closing mechanism 20 in the direction indicated by the mark MK.

[0041] The escape device 100 includes a detection means 30 and a notification means 31. The detection means 30 can detect that it has been operated by a person. The notification means 31 can notify a person outside 400 of the enclosed space Q that the detection means 30 has been operated.

[0042] In this way, if a problem occurs to someone in the sealed space Q and the door 200 cannot be opened, help can be easily sought from someone outside 400 of the sealed space Q.

[0043] According to the escape device 100 , the detection means 30 is disposed in the first opening / closing mechanism 20 . In this way, the detection means 30 can detect that a person in the enclosed space Q has touched or operated the first opening / closing mechanism 20.

[0044] According to the escape device 100, the detection means 30 is disposed adjacent to the escape door .

[0045] In this way, even if a person in the enclosed space Q cannot operate the first opening / closing mechanism 20 of the escape door 10, the person in the enclosed space Q can operate the detection means 30.

[0046] Embodiment 2 <Configuration of escape device> Fig. 6 is a schematic front view of an escape device 100 according to embodiment 2. Fig. 6 corresponds to Fig. 2. The escape device 100 shown in Fig. 6 basically has the same configuration as the escape device 100 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 and can achieve the same effects, but differs in that the escape door 10 is provided directly on the side wall WL rather than on the door 200.

[0047] The escape door 10 may be provided at any location within the sealed space Q, and may be located away from the door 200. If the sealed space Q is sufficiently large, the escape door 10 may be provided on the side wall WL as shown in FIG. 6, or on the floor GR.
