DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] Hereinafter, an example of a tent-type cooling system according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings (FIGS. 1 to 3).

[0014] The tent-type cooling system according to the present invention is constructed by installing a cooling device unit 20, which includes an outdoor unit 24 mounted on a base 25 and an indoor unit 21 arranged on top of a support member 26 erected upright from the base 25, in a tent 10 that is installed so as to cover the top and four side surfaces 12 formed as a roof 11 using tent fabric to provide an interior space, and cools the interior of the tent 10. The cooling device unit 20 according to the present invention utilizes a refrigeration cycle, which is generally used in air conditioners and freezers.

[0015] In addition, in the tent-type cooling system according to the present invention, the indoor unit 21 of the cooling device unit 20 is installed so as to be inserted into the interior of the tent 10 from the outside of the tent 10 through an opening 14 cut out in the fabric of the side surface 12 of the tent 10. In this embodiment, the indoor unit 21 and the outdoor unit 24 are arranged facing opposite directions with respect to a support member 26 provided in an upright state on one side of a base 25, and only the indoor unit 21 is inserted and arranged inside the tent 10.

[0016] In the tent-type cooling system according to the present invention, a frame-shaped bonding portion 15 is provided in a frame shape around the edge of the opening 14 of the tent 10, and a frame-shaped bonding portion 23 is attached to the periphery of a blocking member 22 that is provided behind the indoor unit 21 and blocks the opening 14, thereby blocking the opening 14. The piping and wiring connecting the indoor unit 21 and the outdoor unit 24 are passed through through holes provided in the blocking member 22, which is fixed to the top of the support member 26 together with the indoor unit 21, and extend from the inside to the outside of the blocking member 22 (the inside and outside of the tent 10 when the indoor unit 21 is installed inside the tent 10).

[0017] This tent-type cooling system has the special advantageous effect of enabling the cooling device unit 20 to be installed more easily and appropriately in the tent 10 simply by moving the cooling device unit 20 relatively so as to insert the indoor unit 21 into the opening 14 in the side surface 12 of the tent 10.

[0018] In other words, a tent-type cooling system as a temporary facility using such a tent 10 and a cooling device unit 20 can quickly and easily construct a temporary rest room with suitable cooling functions (air conditioner) or a temporary cold storage with suitable refrigeration functions.

[0019] Furthermore, to achieve a more efficient cooling, refrigeration, or freezing effect, tent fabrics with high insulating properties can be used. For example, double-layered fabrics with high heat retention properties, with insulating fabric on the inside, or fabrics with high heat-blocking properties, such as silver-coated reflective sheet fabric, can be used.

[0020] Furthermore, the support member 26 that supports the indoor unit 21 in this embodiment is made up of a pair of columnar members (square pipe material) that extend integrally in the vertical direction, and has a simple form, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it goes without saying that it may have a structure that can be divided into multiple parts in the vertical direction, or a structure that can adjust the length (height) appropriately in the vertical direction.

[0021] Furthermore, the power source for operating the cooling device unit 20 is not limited to commercial power, but may be a power supply vehicle, an electric vehicle battery, a generator, or the like, which may be selectively used as appropriate.

[0022] The tent-type cooling system according to the present invention can be characterized in that the magnets are arranged so that the frame-shaped joining portion 15 and the joining portion 23 are attached by magnetic attraction. In this embodiment, the frame-shaped joining portion 15 is provided in a form in which a sheet-like magnet is wrapped (enclosed) in a bag portion made of fabric at the opening edge. In contrast, the joining portion 23 is made of iron.

[0023] It is sufficient that the frame-shaped joining portion 15 (the tent side) and the part to be joined 23 (the cooling device unit 20 side) are configured to be stuck together by the magnetic attraction (magnet) action, and the magnet may be arranged on either one side or on both sides with opposite polarity. For example, it is of course possible to arrange the iron material on the frame-shaped joining portion 15 side and the magnet on the part to be joined 23 side, opposite to the above example.

[0024] According to this, the tent 10 is made of a flexible sheet material (tent fabric), and therefore, by simply moving the cooling device unit 20 so as to insert the indoor unit 21 into the opening 14 on the side surface 12 of the tent 10, the tent fabric will flexibly deform, and the frame-shaped joining portion 15 and the to-be-joined portion 23 will be suitably adhered to each other, thereby properly closing the opening 14, thereby achieving the particularly advantageous effect of making installation easier and more reliable.

[0025] In this embodiment, the closure member 22 has a frame-shaped periphery for reinforcement, and the closure surface is covered with a metal plate such as an iron plate. When the tent 10 is used without the cooling device unit 20 installed, a closure plate made of an iron plate or the like can be placed in the opening 14 and attached to the frame-shaped joining portion 15, thereby easily and appropriately closing the opening 14.

[0026] In addition, in this embodiment, casters 27 are attached to the cooling device unit 20. That is, in this embodiment, four wheels (casters 27) are attached to the bottom of the base 25. This allows the cooling device unit 20 to be easily moved, and the cooling device unit 20 can be installed in the tent 10 more easily and reliably.

[0027] In this embodiment, the tent 10 is also equipped with casters 17 (see FIG. 3). That is, the casters 17 are attached to each leg of the tent 10, making it a caster tent. In this way, the tent 10 and the cooling device unit 20 are configured as a set with the casters 17, 27 attached, so that the tent 10 and the cooling device unit 20 can be appropriately moved relative to each other, creating a synergistic effect and allowing for easier and more appropriate installation.

[0028] Furthermore, it is preferable to provide a height adjustment mechanism for the tent 10 (for example, each leg of the tent 10 including the casters 17) and the cooling device unit 20 (for example, the base 25 including the casters 27). For example, as shown in FIG. 4, it is preferable to employ casters 27 with bolts 28 attached to the top so as to have a screw-type mounting function, and to use the bolts 28 to adjust the height. In particular, as shown in FIG. 4, by making the height of the casters 27 attached to the base 25 adjustable using the bolts 28, the indoor unit 21 of the cooling device unit 20 can be moved while being adjusted to an appropriate height.

[0029] In this way, by providing the tent 10 and the cooling device unit 20 with a height adjustment function, the relative heights of the opening 14 and the indoor unit 21 can be appropriately adjusted so that the indoor unit 21 can be properly inserted into the opening 14, and the frame-shaped joining portion 15 and the joined portion 23 can be properly joined by matching their heights. Note that, for example, screw-in height adjustment adjusters may be attached to each leg or base 25 of the tent 10, either separately from or integral with the casters 17, 27, to allow height adjustment.

[0030] In addition, in this embodiment, at least the upper part of the opening 14 is positioned in the roof ledge 13 of the tent 10, and the indoor unit 21 is installed in a manner that allows it to be inserted into the interior of the tent 10 through the opening 14.

[0031] In this way, by utilizing the roof edge 13 of the tent 10, the indoor unit 21 can be placed at a higher position on the tent 10, which has the advantage of allowing for more effective cooling, especially when using the air conditioning function as a cooling device, as the cool air can be discharged from a higher position and the cool air will descend. Note that, although the installation height will be lower than when the indoor unit 21 is installed on the roof edge 13 of the tent 10, it may of course be installed on another side.

[0032] Although various preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and many modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. [Explanation of symbols]
