[0021] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the closed space R of the sleep cabin 1 according to the embodiment.

[0022] As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, when the closed space R of the room 10 is viewed from above along the negative Z-axis direction, the closed space R includes a first space R1 for a user to sleep, a second space R2 between the furniture 30 and the long side of the room 10 on the doorway 19 side, and a third space R3 between the furniture 30 and the long side of the room 10 on the doorway 19 side and located at the foot side of the user when the user sleeps on the furniture 30. The first space R1 is indicated by dotted hatching, the second space R2 is indicated by oblique line hatching, and the third space R3 is indicated by lattice hatching. The second space R2 is an example of a predetermined space as a part of the closed space R.

[0023] The second space R2 and the third space R3 are located on the negative Y-axis side with respect to the first space R1. The third space R3 is located on the negative X-axis side with respect to the second space R2, and is located at the feet side when a user sleeps on the furniture 30. The operating device 40 and the furniture 30, etc. are arranged in the first space R1, the floor board 11b of the room 10 is arranged in the second space R2, and the airflow generating device 50, the functional ingredient introducing device 60, the lighting device 70, the power supply unit 80, etc. are arranged in the third space R3.

[0024] The room 10 includes a plurality of frameworks 11, a plurality of casters 12, a plurality of walls, a door 11e, and a ceiling panel 13.

[0025] The multiple frameworks 11 each include a frame-shaped base 11a, a floor plate 11b, multiple pillars 11c, and an upper frame 11d.

[0026] The base 11a is a rectangular frame, and is disposed vertically below the room 10 (Z-axis negative direction) so as to be in a position substantially parallel to the XY plane. A plurality of casters 12 are provided on the end face of the base 11a on the Z-axis negative direction side, at least in a one-to-one correspondence with each of the corners. Therefore, the base 11a is disposed so as to face the ground via the casters 12. The casters 12 can rotate the wheels so that the base 11a, i.e. the room 10, can move relative to the ground, or can be locked to prevent the wheels from rotating.

[0027] A plurality of joists 11a1 are connected to the base 11a. A floorboard 11b is provided on the base 11a and the plurality of joists 11a1. The floorboard 11b is long along the X-axis direction. The floorboard 11b is on the negative Y-axis side of the fixture 30, and is located between the fixture 30 and the long side of the room 10 on the entrance / exit 19 side of the room 10, and is disposed on the base 11a and the plurality of joists 11a1 in the second space R2.

[0028] The multiple pillars 11c are elongated extending from each corner of the base 11a along the Z-axis direction and support the upper frame 11d. Some of the multiple pillars 11c are adjacent to each other to form the third space R3. Specifically, the portion of the pillars 11c for forming the third space R3 is composed of at least a first pillar 11c1, a second pillar 11c2, and a third pillar 11c3. The first pillar 11c1 is disposed at a corner portion that is an end portion of the base 11a in the negative X-axis direction and an end portion in the negative Y-axis direction. The second pillar 11c2 is adjacent to the first pillar 11c1 and is disposed in the positive X-axis direction from the first pillar 11c1. The third pillar 11c3 is adjacent to the first pillar 11c1 and is disposed in the positive Y-axis direction from the first pillar 11c1.

[0029] The multiple walls are partitions for defining the closed space R, and are disposed between two adjacent columns 11c among the multiple columns 11c. Some of the multiple walls are provided to surround the airflow generating device 50 and the functional ingredient introducing device 60, etc., in order to define the third space R3. Note that in FIG. 1, the first wall 11f1 between the first column 11c1 and the second column 11c2, the second wall 11f2 between the first column 11c1 and the third column 11c3, and the third wall 11f3 extending from the second column 11c2 along the Y-axis positive direction and between the second space R2 and the third space R3 are illustrated, and the illustration of the other walls is omitted as appropriate.

[0030] The door 11e allows access to the functional ingredient introduction device 60 and is arranged on the closed space R side or the external space side of the room 10. In this embodiment, the door 11e is arranged on the external space side, on the side facing the negative Y-axis direction. When the door 11e is arranged on the closed space R side, it may be formed on the wall facing the first space R1 side or the wall facing the second space R2 side with respect to the functional ingredient introduction device 60.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 4, when the door 11e is arranged on the closed space R side of the room 10, it is located at a height of 1500 (mm) or less from the first floor surface of the room 10 forming the closed space R. When the door 11e is arranged on the external space side, it is located at a height of 1500 (mm) or less from the second floor surface of the external space in which the sleeping cabin 1 is installed. The first floor surface is the upper surface of the floor board 11b. The second floor surface is the floor surface of the external space in which the sleeping cabin 1 is installed. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the height of the door 11e in the sleeping cabin 1 according to the embodiment. In FIG. 4, the wall portion is not shown.

[0032] The upper frame 11d is a rectangular frame body, and is located vertically above the room 10 (in the positive direction of the Z axis) so as to be in a position substantially parallel to the XY plane. The upper frame 11d corresponds to the base 11a, and is supported by a plurality of columns 11c. In this embodiment, two upper frames 11d are provided. A part of the duct 20 is disposed between the two upper frames 11d.

[0033] A ceiling board 13 is provided on the upper frame 11d. A duct 20 and an air outlet 20a, which is an opening of the duct 20, are provided on the ceiling board 13. The duct 20 guides air sucked from the air inlet 20b to the air outlet 20a. In other words, the duct 20 connects the air outlet 20a and the air inlet 20b to form a flow path through which the air flows.

[0034] The air outlet 20a blows out the air that has been sucked in through the air inlet 20b and passed through the duct 20. The air outlet 20a is disposed on the upper body side or the lower body side of the user when the user sleeps on the furniture 30. In this embodiment, the air outlet 20a is attached to the ceiling board 13 facing the furniture 30, and disposed at a position facing the lower body side of the user when the user sleeps on the furniture 30.

[0035] Moreover, the air outlet 20a is disposed away from the air inlet 20b and the airflow generating device 50. The wall of the room 10 in which the air outlet 20a is disposed (i.e., the ceiling board 13) and the wall of the room 10 in which the air inlet 20b is disposed are separate walls. In this embodiment, the air outlet 20a is disposed at a higher position than the air inlet 20b. In this manner, by separating the air outlet 20a and the air inlet 20b as far as possible, sound and light entering through the air inlet 20b are prevented from being transmitted to the air outlet 20a.

[0036] Also, a light absorbing material is provided in the flow path from the blow-out port 20a to the inlet port 20b. In this embodiment, the light absorbing material is provided inside the duct 20. That is, the duct 20 is configured so that light incident from the inlet port 20b side of the duct 20 is reflected inside the duct 20 and does not exit from the blow-out port 20a. For example, the inside of the duct 20 may be painted black, a material with low light reflectance may be placed inside the duct 20, or a material with low light reflectance may be used for the duct 20. Also, such a light absorbing material may be provided in the blow-out port 20a and the inlet port 20b, etc.

[0037] The suction port 20b is disposed on the foot side when the user sleeps on the furniture 30. The suction port 20b is provided on the outer wall of the room 10 so as to face the external space of the room 10. Therefore, the suction port 20b can suck air from the external space of the room 10. In this embodiment, the suction port 20b is disposed opposite the airflow generating device 50 so as to communicate the external space with the third space R3. The suction port 20b in this embodiment is disposed between the first pillar 11c1 and the second pillar 11c2 in the wall of the room 10. The suction port 20b is disposed closer to the ceiling board 13 than the furniture 30 so as to be away from the head of the user.

[0038] The furniture 30 is a bed on which a user can sit and sleep. The furniture 30 is long along the X-axis direction in the first space R1. The furniture 30 in this embodiment is supported by a plurality of columns 11c, but may be placed on the base 11a and a plurality of joists 11a1.

[0039] The fixture 30 is set so that the user's head is located on the positive side of the X-axis and the feet are located on the positive side of the X-axis. Therefore, the operating device 40 is disposed on the fixture 30 on the positive side of the X-axis.

[0040] The operation device 40 is an operation input device that can be operated by a user to drive at least the airflow generation device 50 and the lighting device 70. In the present embodiment, the operation device 40 can also drive the lighting device 70.

[0041] For example, when a user operates the operating device 40 to input an instruction to change the airflow generation device 50 from an OFF state to an ON state, the airflow generation device 50 is powered ON in accordance with the instruction obtained from the operating device 40. As a result, the airflow generation device 50 is driven so that air from the outside space can be taken into the closed space R of the room 10.

[0042] Furthermore, when the user inputs an instruction by operating the operation device 40 to change the illumination device 70 from an OFF state to an ON state, the illumination device 70 is turned on in response to the instruction acquired from the operation device 40. As a result, the illumination device 70 is turned on to illuminate the closed space R.

[0043] Moreover, the operating device 40 may be disposed in one or more of the first space R1, the second space R2, and the third space R3. In other words, a plurality of operating devices 40 may be provided in the sleep cabin 1. In this embodiment, the operating device 40 is disposed in the first space R1.

[0044] The airflow generating device 50 is a blower that is disposed in the room 10, draws in air from an inlet 20b provided in the room 10, and blows the air out from an outlet 20a provided in the closed space R, thereby generating an airflow in the closed space R. The airflow generating device 50 is driven to take in air from an external space, thereby adjusting the air quality, such as the temperature and humidity, of the air in the closed space R.

[0045] Moreover, the airflow generating device 50 is disposed on the foot side when the user sleeps on the furniture 30. Moreover, the airflow generating device 50 is disposed on the flow path of the duct 20. In this embodiment, the airflow generating device 50 is disposed at the same height as the suction port 20b so as to face the suction port 20b in the third space R3, and is disposed closer to the ceiling board 13 than the furniture 30 so as to be away from the head of the user.

[0046] As a result, the airflow generating device 50 can generate an airflow from the airflow inlet 20b toward the air outlet 20a by being driven while disposed on the airflow inlet 20b side of the duct 20. In addition, since the airflow generating device 50 can blow air out from the air outlet 20a, it is possible to increase or decrease the wind blowing toward a user sleeping on the furniture 30. The output of the airflow generating device 50 can be adjusted by the operating device 40.

[0047] The functional component introduction device 60 is disposed in the room 10, and can adjust the air quality in the closed space R by introducing a functional component into the air blown out from the air outlet 20a. The functional component introduction device 60 is an ion generating device that generates sterilizing ions, an aroma freshener equipped with an aromatic agent, a deodorizer equipped with a deodorizer, etc. Here, the functional component is the amount of sterilizing ions (fine particles) due to fine particle ions, etc., the amount of fragrance components such as aromatic agents and deodorizers, etc.

[0048] Moreover, the functional ingredient introduction device 60 is disposed on the foot side when the user sleeps on the furniture 30. Moreover, the functional ingredient introduction device 60 is disposed on the flow path of the duct 20. In this embodiment, the functional ingredient introduction device 60 is disposed downstream of the airflow generation device 50 (the air outlet 20a side) and closer to the ceiling board 13 than the airflow generation device 50 so as to be away from the user's head.

[0049] Moreover, the functional ingredient introduction device 60 can make the air flowing from the suction port 20b to the blowing port 20a contain the functional ingredient by driving the airflow generating device 50. That is, the functional ingredient is carried by the airflow from the suction port 20b to the blowing port 20a and is guided to the closed space R. This can purify the air in the closed space R and fill it with a fragrance that the user will enjoy. The output of the amount of the functional ingredient in such a functional ingredient introduction device 60 can be adjusted by the operation device 40.

[0050] In this embodiment, the airflow generating device 50 and the functional ingredient introducing device 60 are located on the negative Z-axis side (lower side) of the ceiling board 13, but this is not limited thereto. Only the airflow generating device 50 may be located on the negative Z-axis side of the ceiling board 13. In this embodiment, the airflow generating device 50 and the functional ingredient introducing device 60 are located on the foot side when the user sleeps on the furniture 30, but this is not limited thereto. Only the airflow generating device 50 may be located on the foot side when the user sleeps on the furniture 30. In these cases, the functional ingredient introducing device 60 may be located on the ceiling board 13 or near the air outlet 20a of the duct 20.

[0051] The lighting device 70 is a lighting fixture capable of illuminating the closed space R. The lighting device 70 has a dimming control function and a color adjustment control function. Specifically, the lighting device 70 changes the luminance (brightness) and light color (color temperature or color) of the emitted light. The luminance and light color of such a lighting device 70 can be adjusted by the operating device 40. Moreover, the lighting device 70 may be disposed in one or more of the first space R1, the second space R2, and the third space R3. In other words, a plurality of lighting devices 70 may be provided in the sleep cabin 1. In this embodiment, the lighting device 70 is disposed in the first space R1.

[0052] The power supply unit 80 controls the lighting mode by supplying power to the lighting device 70, and controls the output by supplying power to the airflow generating device 50 and the functional ingredient introducing device 60. In other words, the power supply unit 80 generates driving power for driving the lighting device 70, the airflow generating device 50, and the functional ingredient introducing device 60, and supplies this driving power to each of the lighting device 70, the airflow generating device 50, and the functional ingredient introducing device 60.

[0053] <Action and effect> Next, the effects of the sleep cabin 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.

[0054] As described above, the sleeping cabin 1 of the present embodiment includes the room 10 having the entrance 19 for the user to enter and exit and forming the closed space R in which the user sleeps, the airflow generating device 50 arranged in the room 10, which draws in air from the intake port 20b arranged in the room 10 and blows the air out from the exhaust port 20a arranged in the closed space R, thereby generating an airflow in the closed space R, and the furniture 30 arranged in the room 10 for the user to sit and sleep on. The intake port 20b is arranged on the outside of the room 10 so as to face the external space of the room 10. The airflow generating device 50 and the intake port 20b are arranged on the foot side of the user when the user sleeps on the furniture 30.

[0055] According to this, the airflow generating device 50 can be placed at the feet side when the user goes to sleep on the furniture 30. This allows the airflow generating device 50 to be placed as far away as possible from the user's head, so that even if sound is generated by the operation of the airflow generating device 50, it is possible to prevent the sound of the airflow generating device 50 from disturbing the user's sleep.

[0056] Furthermore, by taking in air from the outside space through the air inlet 20b arranged in the room 10, the taken-in air from the outside space can be supplied from the air outlet 20a to the closed space R. Since the temperature and humidity can be adjusted in the closed space R, it becomes possible to prevent disturbance of the user's comfortable sleep.

[0057] Therefore, in the sleeping cabin 1, a comfortable sleeping environment can be provided in the closed space R.

[0058] The sleeping cabin 1 of this embodiment is provided with a functional ingredient introduction device 60 that is arranged in the room 10 and introduces a functional ingredient into the air blown out from the air outlet 20a. The functional ingredient introduction device 60 is arranged on the foot side of the user when the user goes to sleep on the furniture 30.

[0059] For example, if a functional ingredient introduction device is placed at the head side when a user sleeps on the furniture, the user will feel a sense of pressure due to the presence of the functional ingredient introduction device placed above the furniture.

[0060] However, in this embodiment, the functional ingredient introduction device 60 can be placed at a position away from the head when the user sleeps on the furniture 30, so the user is less likely to feel oppressed by the presence of the functional ingredient introduction device 60. As a result, the user can use the closed space R comfortably.

[0061] In addition, in the sleeping cabin 1 of the present embodiment, the air outlet 20a is disposed away from the air inlet 20b and the airflow generating device 50.

[0062] According to this, when the airflow generating device 50 is driven, the suction port 20b can suck in air from the external space of the room 10. Therefore, the air sucked in from the suction port 20b is blown out from the blowout port 20a into the closed space R, so that the temperature and humidity in the closed space R can be adjusted.

[0063] In addition, since the air outlet 20a is located away from the air inlet 20b, even if sound and light enter through the air outlet 20a, the entering sound and light are unlikely to be transmitted to the air outlet 20a. Therefore, in the sleeping cabin 1, a more comfortable sleeping environment can be provided in the closed space R.

[0064] In addition, in the sleeping cabin 1 of the present embodiment, the air outlet 20a is arranged on the side of the upper body or the lower body when the user sleeps on the furniture 30.

[0065] According to this, since the air outlet 20a can be disposed far from the air inlet 20b and the airflow generating device 50, even if sound enters through the air outlet 20a, the entering sound can be made difficult to propagate to the air outlet 20a. Therefore, in the sleeping cabin 1, a more comfortable sleeping environment can be provided in the closed space R.

[0066] In addition, in the sleeping cabin 1 of this embodiment, a predetermined space is formed as a part of the closed space R between the furniture 30 and the long side of the room 10 on the entrance / exit 19 side.

[0067] According to this, a certain space is formed between the fixture 30 and the long side of the room 10 on the entrance 19 side, so that the space around the user when sleeping on the fixture 30 can be secured. Therefore, the user is less likely to feel oppressed even in the closed space R.

[0068] In addition, when a user sleeps on the furniture 30, the user can sit on the furniture 30 and take off shoes in a designated space. Therefore, the sleep cabin 1 does not impair the convenience of the user.

[0069] In addition, the sleeping cabin 1 of this embodiment is provided with a duct 20 that guides the air sucked in from the air inlet 20b to the air outlet 20a. A light absorbing material is provided in the flow path from the air inlet 20b to the air outlet 20a.

[0070] According to this, even if light enters through the intake port 20b, the light absorbing material can absorb the light as it passes through the duct 20. Therefore, the light is less likely to be emitted from the exhaust port 20a. As a result, the user using the sleeping cabin 1 is less likely to feel dazzled or uncomfortable through the exhaust port 20a, so a more comfortable sleeping environment can be provided in the closed space R.

[0071] In addition, in the sleep cabin 1 of this embodiment, the room 10 has a door 11 e through which the functional ingredient introduction device 60 can be accessed.

[0072] According to this, the door 11e can be operated from the closed space R side of the room 10 or from the outside space side, so that maintenance of the functional ingredient introduction device 60 can be easily performed via the door 11e.

[0073] In the sleeping cabin 1 of this embodiment, the door 11e is disposed on the closed space R side of the room 10 or on the external space side. When the door 11e is disposed on the closed space R side of the room 10, it is located at a height of 1500 (mm) or less from a first floor surface of the room 10 that forms the closed space R. When the door 11e is disposed on the external space side, it is located at a height of 1500 (mm) or less from a second floor surface of the external space in which the sleeping cabin 1 is installed.

[0074] This allows the door 11e to be placed in a position that is easily reachable by the user. For example, when the door 11e is placed on the closed space R side of the room 10, the user can easily operate the door 11e while standing up from the fixture 30. When the door 11e is placed on the outside space side, the door 11e can be placed close to the user's hand, so that the user can easily operate the door 11e. This makes it easier to maintain the functional ingredient introduction device 60.
