Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to storage equipment and housing, and particularly to a technology that enables efficient storage and utilization of children's school supplies and the like.

Background Art

[0002] In a household with school-age children, various school supplies such as books, schoolbags, and sports equipment are scattered throughout the house and are often difficult to tidy up. Therefore, as a conventional technology regarding tidying up and maintaining aesthetics within the household, for example, there has been proposed a storage structure (Patent Document 1) that enables a child to be accustomed to doing what should be done daily as training while spending time with their parents in places such as the living room and dining room, without damaging the aesthetics of the living room or dining room or scratching the flooring.

[0003] This technology relates to a storage structure of a house in which a storage space communicating with a shared space is provided through a wall opening formed in a shared space such as a living room, a dining room, or other shared spaces, a storage shelf provided with a shelf board is installed in the storage space, and an opening / closing door is installed in the wall opening. A bag holding means for holding a schoolbag-shaped bag so that it can be opened and closed in the external space on the wall opening side of the storage shelf is provided on the storage shelf, and a bag storage space capable of storing the schoolbag-shaped bag is provided at a position near the bag holding means in the internal space of the storage shelf.

[0004] In addition, there has also been proposed a house and a storage structure (Patent Document 2) having a storage space capable of naturally managing stored items.

[0005] This technology relates to a house having a living room and a non-living room adjacent to the living room, and includes a storage space provided at a boundary portion between the living room and the non-living room. The storage space has an inlet for stored items on the non-living room side and an outlet for the stored items on the living room side.

[0006] Furthermore, another proposed design (Patent Document 3) allows for the development of handwashing habits in children without giving visitors at the entrance the impression that their hands are being washed.

[0007] This technology relates to a house comprising an entrance hall and an adjacent space adjacent to the entrance hall, wherein the house comprises a partition wall separating the entrance hall and the adjacent space, and an entrance / exit section provided adjacent to the partition wall for entering and exiting the adjacent space from the entrance hall, and a washbasin is installed near the entrance / exit section at the wall edge of the partition wall in the adjacent space.

[0008] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2015-140565 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2016-069796 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2024-43964 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0009] In recent years, the diversification of lifestyles among households, as well as changes in attitudes towards child-rearing and housing, have led to a variety of spaces where children spend time at home. In particular, there has been an increase in cases where children study and play in the living room, resulting in a tendency for school supplies and other items to be scattered throughout both the living room and the children's rooms. This can potentially reduce children's learning efficiency and quality of life. From a parent's perspective, it is difficult to constantly keep an eye on children's tidiness and studying in various parts of the house amidst a busy daily routine.

[0010] Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its objective is to provide a technology that enables the efficient storage and use of children's school supplies and the like. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] The above problems are solved by the present invention, which provides a storage device that is placed in a house and has a housing, wherein the housing has a first storage section capable of accommodating shoes and a second storage section adjacent to the first storage section, one side of the housing has a first door that can be opened and closed and opens to open the first storage section, and a second door that can be opened and closed and opens to open the second storage section, the other side of the housing has a third door that can be opened and closed and opens to open the second storage section, and the second storage section has a shelf having a shelf plate that can rotate around an axis erected inside the housing.

[0012] The storage device of the present invention, configured as described above, allows for the efficient storage and use of children's school supplies and other items.

[0013] Furthermore, it is preferable that the above-described storage device includes a drive mechanism for rotating the shelf and a control mechanism for controlling the drive mechanism. With the above configuration, for example, when a child returns home from school and places their schoolbag on the shelf from the entrance or hallway side, they can easily rotate the shelf to bring the schoolbag closer when they want to take it out from the living room side to start their homework in the evening. In other words, it becomes possible to store and use children's school supplies more efficiently.

[0014] Furthermore, in the above-described storage device, it is more preferable that the control mechanism controls the drive mechanism in response to receiving a predetermined user operation. With the above configuration, users can operate control devices, such as buttons for starting / stopping rotation, to rotate the shelves at will. This, in turn, allows for more efficient storage and use of children's school supplies and other items.

[0015] Furthermore, in the above-described storage device, it is preferable that the control mechanism rotates the shelf board by a predetermined amount in the first direction when the second door is opened, and rotates the shelf board by a predetermined amount in the second direction when the third door is opened. With the above configuration, it becomes possible to control the system so that the shelves automatically rotate to face the child, depending on whether the child is retrieving / storing items from the entrance or hallway side, or from the living room side. In turn, this allows for more efficient storage and use of children's school supplies and other items.

[0016] Furthermore, it is preferable that the above-described storage device has a first sensor that detects the opening of the second door and the opening of the third door and outputs a signal, and that the control mechanism controls the drive mechanism based on the signal from the first sensor. With the above configuration, the rotation of the shelves towards the user's location can be automatically controlled. As a result, children's school supplies and other items can be stored and used more efficiently.

[0017] Furthermore, it is preferable that the above-described storage device has a second sensor that detects objects placed on the shelf and outputs a signal, and that the control mechanism controls the drive mechanism based on the signal from the second sensor. With the above configuration, it becomes possible to control the shelves so that they automatically rotate towards the user in response to items being placed on or removed from the shelves. This, in turn, allows for more efficient storage and use of children's school supplies and other items.

[0018] Furthermore, in the above-described storage device, it is preferable that the control mechanism stops the rotation of the shelf when contact occurs between the rotating shelf and an object surrounding the shelf. With the above configuration, for example, if a child's body part comes into contact with a shelf, safety measures such as emergency stopping of rotation can be accurately implemented. In turn, children's school supplies and other items can be stored and used more efficiently.

[0019] Further, it is preferable that the storage device further includes an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the height of the shelf board. According to the above configuration, for example, the height of the shelf board can be adjusted according to the height of a child who is a user, making it easier to place and take out luggage on the shelf board. As a result, school supplies and the like of the child can be stored and used more efficiently.

[0020] Further, the above problem is solved by a house according to the present invention, which is a house having a first space and a second space adjacent to the first space, wherein a partition wall and the storage device according to claim 1 are arranged at a boundary between the first space and the second space, and the first space and the second space are partitioned by the partition wall and the storage device, and the storage device is configured such that the second door faces the first space and the third door faces the second space. In the house of the present invention configured as described above, school supplies and the like of a child can be stored and used efficiently.

Effects of the Invention

[0021] According to the house of the present invention, school supplies and the like of a child can be stored and used efficiently.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0023] <> Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "this embodiment") will be described with reference to the attached drawings. Note that the drawings are somewhat simplified and schematic in order to facilitate understanding of the explanation. Furthermore, the sizes (dimensions) of the various components of the house shown in the drawings, as well as the spacing between components, differ from those of the actual structure.

[0024] Furthermore, the following explanation will assume a typical floor plan in a house and will describe the appropriate form and operation of storage equipment installed near the entrance of such a house. However, the present invention is also applicable to buildings other than houses, such as hotels and other accommodation facilities, and various facilities equipped with an entrance and living rooms (medical facilities, hot springs and other rest facilities, ships and trains that can accommodate guests, etc.).

[0025] Figure 1 shows the floor plan of the house 1 of this embodiment. Figures 2 and 3 show the configuration of the storage equipment (hereinafter referred to as shoe boxes) from the entrance side and the living room side, respectively, of the house 1 of this embodiment. As shown in Figure 1, the house 1 of this embodiment has a configuration in which the entrance 2 and hall 3 are sequentially adjacent on the same floor (same level) with a threshold 22 as the boundary. The space formed by these entrance 2 and hall 3 is referred to as the passage space 4 (first space). Furthermore, this passage space 4 is adjacent to the living room 5 (second space) via a partition wall 6 and a shoe box 10.

[0026] The partition wall 6 described above is a common wall material used to partition rooms in a house. On the other hand, the shoe box 10 is formed as a whole, for example, a wooden casing 11, and inside, i.e., inside the casing 113, the shoe box section 12 is located on the side closer to the entrance door 21, separated by the frame 22, while the school supplies storage section 14 is located on the side closer to the hall 3.

[0027] Furthermore, on the side of the housing 11 facing the passage space 4, i.e., the passage surface 111 (one side), the first door 121 of the shoe box section 12 and the second door 141 of the school supplies storage section 14 are arranged to open and close. Opening the first door 121 opens the shoe box section 12. Opening the second door 141 opens the side of the school supplies storage section 14 facing the passage surface 111.

[0028] On the other hand, on the side of the enclosure 11 facing the living room 5 (second space), i.e., the living room side 112 (the other side), a counter section 13 and the third door 142 of the school supplies storage section 14 are arranged. The counter section 13 has, for example, a counter platform 132 that is at a height appropriate for a child's body size, extending across it. A child in the living room 5 of the house 1 would sit on a chair 131 (see Figure 3), spread out their school supplies 7 on the counter platform 132, and study, etc.

[0029] The school supplies storage section 14 is opened by opening the second door 141 or the third door 142. Here, an opening / closing sensor 157 (first sensor) is installed in a predetermined part of each of the second door 141 and the third door 142, such as the hinge which is the opening / closing mechanism. As an example of an opening / closing sensor 157, a distance sensor can be used that measures the distance between the ends of the two metal plates that make up the hinge when they open around the axis of rotation. Therefore, when the hinge opens to an angle greater than a certain angle, the opening / closing sensor 157 detects this as an "open" state. On the other hand, when the hinge closes to an angle less than a certain angle, the opening / closing sensor 157 detects this as a "closed" state. Of course, the implementation form of the opening / closing sensor 157 is not limited to the above, and any form that can detect the opening / closing state of the second door 141 and the third door 142 may be used as appropriate.

[0030] Furthermore, the school supplies storage section 14 of the shoe box 10 is equipped with a shelf 15 having a shelf board 151 that can rotate around an axis 152 erected inside. Figure 4 shows an example of the configuration of the shelf 15 in the house 1 of this embodiment. In this embodiment, the shelf 15 has a configuration in which the axis 152 is fixed vertically by a frame 150, and the shelf board 151 is rotatably supported by this axis 152. The frame 150 consists of a top plate 1501, a support member 1502, and a bottom plate 1503.

[0031] The top plate 1501 is a disc-shaped member that fixes the shaft 152 so that it can rotate freely around its axis by receiving the upper end 1521 of the shaft 152 with a bearing 15011. The bottom plate 1503 is a disc-shaped member that fixes the shaft 152 so that it can rotate freely around its axis by receiving the lower end 1522 of the shaft 152 with a bearing 15011. The support member 1502 is a member that fixes the shelf 151 while allowing it to rotate, between the top plate 1501 and the bottom plate 1503. Therefore, at a height position of the support member 1502 that faces the end 1511 of the shelf 151 (hereinafter referred to as the shelf end 1511), the groove 1504 receives the shelf end 1511, which moves in the circumferential direction as the shelf 151 rotates, and supports the shelf end 1511 so that it can slide.

[0032] In the example shown in this embodiment, the support member 1502 connects and fixes only two arc-shaped portions of the outer circumference of the top plate 1501 and the bottom plate 1503. Therefore, the groove 1504 is provided on the inner circumference 1505 of each of these two support member 1502 portions. The callout in Figure 4 shows the cross-sectional shape of the engagement due to the sliding motion between the groove 1504 and the shelf end 1511. The shelf 151 is disc-shaped, but the support member 1502, including the groove 1504, has an arc-shaped or semi-circular shape when viewed from above the shelf 151, as illustrated in Figure 4, and its upper end is integrated with the top plate 1501. Its lower end is integrated with the bottom plate 1503. However, such a frame 150 may be part of the components that make up the housing 11 of the shoe box 10.

[0033] The shaft 152 is rotatable around its axis by a motor 153 (drive mechanism) installed on the bottom plate 1503, for example. Therefore, as the shaft 152 rotates due to the motor 153, each of the shelves 151 fixed to the shaft 152 also rotates. A sensor 1531 is installed on the motor 153. This sensor 1531 is, for example, a sensor that observes the rotation speed of the motor 153. The observed value from the sensor 1531, i.e., the rotation speed, is notified to the control mechanism 154. The control mechanism 154 recognizes the rotation speed of the motor 153 based on the notification from the sensor 1531 and identifies the rotation state of the shelves 151. For example, if the rotation speed of the motor 153 is 1 / 4 rotation, the rotation state of the shelves 151 can also be identified as 1 / 4 rotation.

[0034] Furthermore, it is preferable that the shaft 152 be further equipped with a lifting unit 16 (adjustment mechanism) for adjusting the height of the shelf board 151. This lifting unit 16 is, for example, a mechanism for moving the fixed section 1512 of the shelf board 151 on the shaft 152 up and down. In this case, the shaft 152 has a double-tube structure consisting of, for example, an inner tube 1523 which is the shaft body and an outer tube 1524 into which the inner tube 1523 is inserted. The outer tube 1524 is the fixed section 1512. In this configuration, a structure can be adopted in which the fixed section 1512, which is the outer tube 1524, is joined to the inner tube 1523 of the shaft 1522 so as to be able to move up and down by meshing a rod-shaped gear (rack) on the outer circumference of the inner tube and a cylindrical gear (pinion) on the inner circumference of the outer tube. The cylindrical gear is driven by, for example, an appropriate motor controlled by the control mechanism 154. Of course, the above-described implementation example of the lifting unit 16 is just one example, and a mechanism that extends or retracts the shaft using gas pressure or hydraulics, which is often used for adjusting the height of the tabletop in electric desks or the seat height in office chairs, may be appropriately adopted.

[0035] Furthermore, the control mechanism 154 receives and recognizes the user's (child or parent's) operation content on the operation unit 155 via appropriate wireless or wired communication means. The operation unit 155 is a controller for operating the rotation and vertical movement of the shelf board 151. Therefore, the operation unit 155 is equipped with an operation UI 1551, which includes left and right arrow buttons indicating left and right rotation, respectively, and up and down arrow buttons indicating up and down directions, respectively. When the user presses this operation UI 1551, the operation unit 155 notifies the control mechanism 154 of the instruction value for left or right rotation or up and down movement, which is the operation content.

[0036] The control mechanism 154 receives notification of the above instruction values ​​from the operation unit 155 and, according to the content thereof, performs drive control of the motor 153 at a predetermined rotational speed in a predetermined rotational direction, or performs lifting control of the lifting unit 16 to move a predetermined amount up or down. However, the control of the rotation and vertical movement of the shelf 151 may be determined by triggers based on observed values ​​obtained from the pressure sensor 158 and the contact sensor 159. For example, if the pressure sensor 158 on the shelf 151 does not provide an observed value indicating the presence of an object on the shelf 151, the control mechanism 154 may not perform rotation of the shelf 151. Alternatively, if the pressure sensor 158 on the shelf 151 provides an observed value indicating the presence of an object on the shelf 151, the control mechanism 154 may perform rotation of the shelf 151. Furthermore, if the contact sensor 159 located near the edge 1511 of the shelf board 151 provides an observed value indicating the occurrence of contact between the shelf board 151 and some object (person or object), the control mechanism 154 may stop the rotation and vertical movement of the shelf board 151.

[0037] Furthermore, if the control mechanism 154 obtains a detection result indicating the "open" state of the door from the opening / closing sensor 157 (first sensor) on the second door 141 or the third door 142, it may rotate the shelf board 151 by a predetermined amount (for example, 1 / 4 turn) clockwise if the door is the second door, or rotate the shelf board 151 by a predetermined amount (for example, 1 / 4 turn) counterclockwise if the door is the third door.

[0038] <Configuration including control mechanism> Here, the details of the control mechanism that performs rotational control of the shelves in the aforementioned house 1, and the control procedure in said control mechanism, will be explained with reference to the diagram. In this specification, "device" and "mechanism" include not only a single device or mechanism that performs a predetermined function on its own, but also a combination of multiple devices or mechanisms that are separate from each other but cooperate to perform a predetermined function.

[0039] Figure 5 shows an example of the overall configuration of the house 1, including the control mechanism 154 in this embodiment. The control mechanism 154 in this embodiment is a unit that works in conjunction with the shoe box 10 and the operation unit 155 in the house 1, and is connected in a manner that allows it to work in conjunction with the motor 153 and sensor 1531 of the shaft 152 in the shelf 15, as well as the open / close sensor 157, pressure sensor 158, and contact sensor 159 that constitute the sensors 156. Such connections are realized via wired wiring within the casing of the shoe box 10, as well as via appropriate lines such as wireless LAN (Local Area Network) and various short-range wireless communication.

[0040] In this embodiment, the control mechanism 154 may consist of a single computer unit attached to the shoe box 10 of the house 1, as shown in the figure, or it may consist of multiple parallel distributed computer units. Alternatively, the control mechanism 154 may consist of computers for ASP (Application Service Provider), SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), or IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service).

[0041] Here, assuming that the control mechanism 154 in this embodiment is composed of a single computer unit, we will assume that the control mechanism 154 is configured such that the processor 100, storage device 101, memory 103, and I / O 104 are connected by a bus.

[0042] Of the above configurations, the storage device 101 is implemented using a non-volatile storage device or storage medium such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), SSD (Solid State Drive), flash memory, FD (Flexible Disc), MO disk (Magneto-Optical disc), CD (Compact Disc), DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), SD card (Secure Digital card), or USB memory (Universal Serial Bus memory).

[0043] Furthermore, the storage device 101 may be configured to be built into the casing of the control mechanism 154, or it may be configured to be connected to the control mechanism 154 in an external manner. In addition, the storage device 101 may be configured as another computer or the like that is connected to the control mechanism 154 in a communicative manner. As for the technology for recording various data, a distributed ledger technology such as blockchain may be used to prevent unauthorized data tampering. Such a storage device 101 stores at least the program 102.

[0044] Furthermore, the memory 103 may be composed of volatile semiconductor memory such as ROM (Read Only Memory) and RAM (Random Access Memory). In this embodiment, the memory 103 holds the program 102, which includes the OS (Operating System), read by the processor 100 from the storage device 101, for execution.

[0045] Of these components, the OS implements the control and basic functions of the computer itself, and under its control, the processor 100 calls and executes various parts of the program 102, thereby implementing the necessary functions for illuminance control.

[0046] Furthermore, the processor 100 is a type of arithmetic unit and may consist of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), as well as an MPU (Micro-Processing Unit), MCU (Micro Controller Unit), GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), DSP (Digital Signal Processor), TPU (Tensor Processing Unit), or ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit).

[0047] Furthermore, I / O104 is a unit responsible for data input and output with communication target devices such as the operation unit 155 and sensors 156. For example, it can employ a communication chipset that supports infrared communication, 3G to 5G or later generations of mobile communication protocols, or LTE (Long Term Evolution) protocols. However, it is not limited to these, and other devices may be implemented depending on the type of communication method. For example, if such a communication method is configured as a wireless LAN, I / O104 will be implemented as a network interface card that supports the Wi-Fi®-based wireless LAN protocol.

[0048] <Control of shelf rotation by control mechanism> Next, an example of the flow associated with the rotation control of the shelf board in the house 1 of this embodiment will be explained with reference to Figure 6. Figure 6 is a flowchart showing the rotation control procedure of the shelf board 151 applied to the house 1 of this embodiment. This flow is mainly executed by the control mechanism 154. Here, we assume that a child 8 who has returned home from school opens the second door 141 in the school supplies storage area 14 from the hall 3, or that a child 8 who is at home opens the third door 142 from the living room 5. In that case, the opening / closing sensor 157 provided on the second door 141 or the third door 142 detects the event of opening the door and notifies the control mechanism 154 of this (S10:Y).

[0049] Furthermore, the control mechanism 154 determines whether it has received a user instruction regarding shelf rotation from the operation unit 155 during a period (S10:N) when it has not received a notification from the opening / closing sensor 157 regarding the event of opening the second door 141 or the third door 142 (S11). Based on the result of this determination, this flow is terminated for that period.

[0050] On the other hand, if a notification regarding the door opening event is received in S10 (S10:Y), the control mechanism 154 determines whether it has received a notification from the pressure sensor 158 on the shelf 151 indicating that there is an object placed on the shelf, i.e., the child's school supplies 7 (S12). If, as a result of this determination, it has not received a detection result indicating that the school supplies 7 are placed on the shelf 151 (S12:N), the control mechanism 154 terminates this flow.

[0051] On the other hand, if the above determination results in a detection that school supplies 7 are placed on the shelf 151, or if it is determined in S11 that there has been user operation from the operation unit 155 (S12:Y), the control mechanism 154 drives the motor 153 to rotate the shelf 151 (S13). This rotational operation, for example, involves rotating the shelf 151 clockwise by a predetermined amount (for example, 1 / 4 turn) when the second door 141 is opened, and rotating the shelf 151 counterclockwise by a predetermined amount (for example, 1 / 4 turn) when the door is the third door 142. This makes it easier for the child 8 to take out the school supplies 7 placed on the shelf 151, depending on where the door was opened (either the hall 3 or the living room 5).

[0052] After rotating the shelf 151 in S13, the control mechanism 154 continuously determines whether an observation value indicating the occurrence of contact between the shelf 151 and some object (person or object) has been obtained from the contact sensor 159 provided on the shelf 151 (S14). If the occurrence of a contact event is detected as a result of this determination (S14:Y), the control mechanism 154 stops the rotation of the shelf 151 by stopping the motor 153 (S15), and terminates this flow.

[0053] On the other hand, if the above determination does not detect the occurrence of a contact event (S14:N), the control mechanism 154 continuously determines whether the observed rotational speed obtained from the motor 153 sensor 1531 has reached a specified number (S16). In other words, it determines whether the rotation of the motor 153 has caused the shelf 151 to rotate and move to a position where the school supplies 7 placed on the shelf 151 can be easily removed.

[0054] If, as a result of the above determination, the rotational speed of motor 153 is not the specified value (S16:N), the control mechanism 154 returns to processing S13 and continues to control the rotation of motor 153. On the other hand, if, as a result of the above determination, the rotational speed of motor 153 is the specified value (S16:Y), the control mechanism 154 terminates this flow.

[0055] <<Regarding other embodiments>> Although one embodiment relating to the storage equipment and housing of the present invention has been described above, the above embodiment is merely an example to facilitate understanding of the present invention and does not limit it. In other words, the present invention can be modified and improved without departing from its spirit. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the present invention includes equivalents thereof.
