Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a teacher's desk having a charging function and a storage function for portable electronic devices. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, in educational settings, teachers may install teaching materials and applications in accordance with the content of a lesson on portable electronic devices, such as tablet-type mobile terminals, in advance and distribute them to students to teach. In this type of teaching format, it is necessary to fully charge all the portable electronic devices distributed before the lesson so that the portable electronic devices do not run out of charge during the lesson. At this time, charging each portable electronic device individually is inefficient and places a heavy burden on the teacher. Therefore, for example, by using a collective charger that can charge multiple portable electronic devices collectively, as in Patent Document 1, the burden on the teacher can be reduced. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2017-22991 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, while using a collective charger such as that described in Patent Document 1 makes it possible to efficiently charge multiple portable electronic devices, installing such a collective charger in a classroom takes up space within the classroom. Meanwhile, classrooms where lessons are given generally have a teacher's desk, and the common teacher's desks have empty space underneath the desk top. Therefore, while it is conceivable to store a collective charger in the empty space of the teacher's desk, it is necessary to extend the power cord from the teacher's desk to a nearby outlet, which may cause people nearby to trip over it. In addition, a desk that houses a collective charger in an empty space is heavier than a normal desk, making it difficult to move it for cleaning the surrounding area, etc. Therefore, it is thought that wheels could be provided for mobility so that it can be moved easily despite its weight, but since it can be moved even when it does not need to be moved, there is a possibility of an accident occurring, such as colliding with a moved desk.

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a lecture desk with a charging and storage function for portable electronic devices, which has a charging function and a storage function for portable electronic devices and can be easily moved and fixed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 provides a portable electronic device having a top plate and a main body, the main body having a storage section capable of storing a plurality of portable electronic devices from the side, a plurality of wheels for movement, a restraining means for restraining the movement by the wheels, an operating means for operating the restraining means, and a power cord, and the storage section further has a charging means for charging the stored portable electronic devices. a storage means for storing a power cord; and a limiting means for limiting the number of people who can operate the operating means. It is characterized by the above. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the present invention, the storage section that allows the storage and charging of portable electronic devices is provided in the main body, so that the space under the desk top, which was previously empty, can be effectively utilized. In addition, since the heavy desk is provided with wheels, it is easy to move the desk, so that it is possible to prevent people nearby from tripping over the power cord extended to the outlet and falling over when the desk is moved to the vicinity of the outlet. In addition, by providing a storage means for the power cord and storing the cord when there is a person nearby, it is possible to further prevent people from tripping over the power cord and falling over. In addition, since the movement of the desk with charging and storage function can be easily restricted by the wheels using the restraining means and the operating means, it can be used safely as a desk. Furthermore, by providing a limiting means to restrict the people who can operate the operating means, it is possible to prevent accidents caused by the movement of the desk, such as when a student accidentally releases the fixation of the desk.

As shown in Fig. 1, the desk 1 with charging and storing functions for portable electronic devices comprises a top panel 2 and a main body 3, and is used as a desk in a school, etc. In addition, wheels 4a, 4a, 4b, 4b are provided on the bottom of the main body 3, so that the desk 1 with charging and storing functions for portable electronic devices can be easily moved.

[0010] The main body 3 has a plurality of storage and charging pockets 5 on the front side. The storage and charging pockets 5 correspond to a specific electronic device M, which is a portable electronic device such as a tablet-type mobile terminal used in classes, and function as a storage section in which the electronic device M can be inserted from the side of the main body 3 and stored. In addition, a charging means C (e.g., a micro USB connector) corresponding to the electronic device M is provided at the back of the storage and charging pocket 5, and when the electronic device M is stored, the electronic device M can be charged via the charging means C by using a power cord 8 provided at the lower front side of the main body 3 to obtain power from a nearby outlet. In this way, by providing the storage and charging pockets 5 in the main body 3 that allow the electronic device M to be stored and charged, the space under the desk top, which was previously empty, can be effectively utilized. The length of power cord 8 extending from main body 3 may be fixed, or the length of power cord 8 extending from main body 3 may be variable, for example, by incorporating a reel mechanism R (FIG. 2) or the like as a storage means in main body 3. By making the length of power cord 8 extending from main body 3 variable using a storage means in this way, power cord 8 can be stored when there is a person nearby, preventing the person nearby from tripping over power cord 8.

[0011] Fig. 2 is a rear perspective view of a lecture desk with a portable electronic device charging and storage function of the present invention, and Fig. 3 is a rear perspective view of a lecture desk with a portable electronic device charging and storage function with a fixing lever in a braking position. 2, a door D that can be opened and closed is provided at the bottom of the back surface of the main body 3, and fixed levers 6, 6 serving as operating means are provided at the bottom inside the main body 3.
