A frame structure is included.

[0008] The frame structure may be configured to further include an external battery connection portion for connecting the battery connection portion to an external battery other than the battery. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the above frame structure, it is possible to provide a frame structure that partitions a personal space in which home appliances can be easily used and that is easy to carry. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0010] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a frame structure. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of a manner in which the floor sheet is attached. [Diagram 3] FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the procedure for dismantling the frame structure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] [1. Frame structure configuration] The configuration of a frame structure 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. In Fig. 1, A1 is a front view of the frame structure 1, and A2 is a right side view of the frame structure 1.

[0012] The frame structure 1 is formed by connecting a plurality of frame frames 11 with joints 12, and includes a framework 10 that partitions a space S capable of accommodating a user U, sheets 20 (floor surface sheet 20a, side surface sheet 20b, top surface sheet 20c) that are stretched over the framework 10 to form the floor, side surfaces, and top surface of the space S, and a support frame 13 that supports the floor surface F formed by the floor surface sheet 20a at a position h higher than a base surface G (such as the ground outdoors or an indoor floor surface) on which the frame structure 1 is placed. The floor surface sheet 20a, side surface sheet 20b, and top surface sheet 20c may be a single connected sheet.

[0013] Furthermore, the frame structure 1 includes battery mounting parts 31a, 31b for mounting the battery 30 on the underside of the floor surface F, an outlet 32 ​​provided on the side sheet 20b, a battery cable 33 (corresponding to the battery connection part of the present disclosure) for connecting the battery 30 and the outlet 32, and an air cushion 40 placed on the floor surface F. The battery mounting parts 31a, 31b fix and mount the battery 30 to the frames 11a, 11b of the floor surface F. This allows the battery 30 to be mounted more stably than when the battery 30 is mounted on the floor surface sheet 20a.

[0014] The outlet 32 ​​is equipped with a socket that supplies AC power of the same specifications as a commercial power source, and a USB (Universal Serial Bus, registered trademark) port. The battery 30 has a battery and an inverter that converts DC power output from the battery into AC power of the same specifications as the commercial power source, and supplies the outlet 32 ​​with DC power for the USB port and AC power for the socket.

[0015] The air cushion 40 is inflated by injecting air, and the outer periphery when inflated becomes larger than the outer periphery of the floor surface F. As a result, when the user U sits on the air cushion 40, the weight of the user U is dispersed to the outside of the floor surface F by the air cushion, so that it is possible to prevent the floor surface F from lowering and the battery 30 from contacting the base surface G.

[0016] The battery 30 is provided with an external battery connection portion 34 for connecting an output terminal of the battery 30 to an external battery. In Fig. 1, a battery 30' attached to another frame structure 1' is illustrated as an example of the external battery.

[0017] In this case, when the remaining charge of the battery 30' becomes low, the user of the other frame structure 1' can use the power supplied from the battery 30 by connecting the battery 30' to the external battery connection part 34 of the battery 30 via the external connection cable 35. Therefore, the user of the other frame structure 1' can continue to use the home appliance in the other frame structure 1' without replacing the battery 30' with low remaining charge.

[0018] As shown in speech bubble W, a front sheet 21 can be attached to the front surface of the frame structure 1 by means of fasteners 22. In addition, a ventilation portion 24 made of mesh fabric or the like is provided on the upper portion of the side sheet 20b.

[0019] [2. How to attach the floor sheet to the frame] The manner in which the floor sheet 20a is attached to the floor frame 11c will be described with reference to Fig. 2. As shown in B1, the floor sheet 20a is provided with a sleeve 25, and the user U first passes the frame 11a through the sleeve 25, so that the floor sheet 20a is roughly positioned in the X and Y directions.

[0020] Next, the user U holds the end of the floor sheet 20a with his / her hand H, and pulls it toward himself / herself to apply tension as shown by the arrow t, while folding the floor sheet 20a toward the underside along the frame 11c. Then, the user U fastens the hook-and-loop fasteners 26 (Velcro (registered trademark), Magic Tape (registered trademark), etc.) provided on the underside of the floor sheet 20a, as shown in B2, to fix the floor sheet 20a to the frame 11c.

[0021] In this case, the floor sheet 20a is stretched on the frame 11a in different ways in the X and Y directions, so the tension of the floor surface F formed by the floor sheet 20a shown in B2 becomes stronger. Therefore, the rigidity of the prefabricated frame structure 1 can be maintained high.

[0022] [3. Frame structure removal procedure] With reference to Fig. 3, a procedure for dismantling the frame structure 1 after finishing using it will be described. First, as shown in C1, the user U disconnects the battery cable 33 from the outlet 32, and removes the battery 30 from the battery attachment parts 31a, 31b (see Fig. 1). Then, the user U removes the upper part 1a from the joint 12 connecting the upper part 1a and the lower part 1b of the frame structure 1, and separates the upper part 1a and the lower part 1b.

[0023] Next, as shown in C2, the user U removes the seat 20 from the frame 11 and stores the folded seat 20 in the storage bag 60. The user U also takes out the air cushion 40, deflates the air, and stores the folded air cushion 40 in the storage bag 61.

[0024] Next, as shown in C3, the user U removes the frame 11 and the support frame 13 from the joints 12 and assembles them as a single unit. Then, the user U stores the storage bag 60 containing the seat 20, the storage bag 61 containing the air cushion 40, the frame 11 assembled as a single unit, the joints 12, the support frame 13, the battery 30, and the battery cable 33 together in one storage bag 70.

[0025] In this way, the user U can easily disassemble and remove the frame structure 1. The user U can then easily carry one storage bag 70 and assemble the frame structure at a location of his or her choice to ensure personal space.

[0026] [4. Other embodiments] In the above embodiment, the air cushion 40 is provided to distribute the load of the user U applied to the floor surface F by the floor sheet 20a, but if the load-bearing capacity of the floor surface F by the floor sheet 20a is sufficient, the air cushion 40 may be omitted.

[0027] In the above embodiment, the battery mounting parts 31a and 31b for mounting the battery 30 to the frame 11 are shown, but the battery 30 may be mounted on the underside of the floor sheet 20a. In this case, for example, a pocket-shaped battery mounting part for accommodating the battery 30 may be provided on the underside of the floor sheet 20a.

[0028] In the above embodiment, the external battery connector 34 for connecting the battery 30 to the external battery 30' is provided, but the external battery connector 34 may be omitted.

[0029] Note that FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the functional configuration of frame structure 1 divided according to the main processing contents in order to facilitate understanding of the invention of the present disclosure, and the functional configuration of frame structure 1 may be divided in other ways.

[0030] [5. Configuration supported by the above embodiment] The above embodiment is a specific example of the following configuration.

[0031] (Configuration 1) A frame structure that partitions a space capable of accommodating users, comprising: a plurality of frame frames that form a prefabricated framework for the space; a sheet that is stretched over the framework to form the floor, sides, and top of the space; a support frame that supports the floor at a position higher than a base surface on which the frame structure is placed; a battery mounting section that allows a battery to be attached to the underside of the floor; an outlet provided on any of the floor, sides, or top; and a battery connection section that connects the battery attached to the battery mounting section to the outlet. According to the frame structure of configuration 1, it is possible to provide a frame structure that partitions a personal space in which home appliances can be easily used and is easy to carry. In addition, by providing the battery storage section on the underside of the floor surface, the weight of the battery stored in the battery storage section can prevent the frame structure from being blown away by the wind.

[0032] (Configuration 2) The frame structure according to configuration 1, further comprising an air cushion provided on an upper surface of the floor surface, which is inflated by injecting air and has a circumference when inflated that is larger than the circumference of the framework of the floor surface. According to the frame structure of configuration 2, when a user sits on the floor and a load is applied to the floor, the load is distributed via the air cushion, and the floor surface is prevented from sinking. This makes it possible to prevent the battery storage section from coming into contact with the base surface and applying a load to the battery.

[0033] (Configuration 3) The frame structure according to configuration 1 or 2, wherein the battery mounting portion is attached to the frame. According to the frame structure of configuration 3, the battery storage section is attached to the frame rather than to the sheet section on the floor surface, so that the rigidity of the battery attachment section can be reliably ensured.

[0034] (Configuration 4) A frame structure according to any one of configurations 1 and 3, further comprising an external battery connection portion for connecting the battery connection portion to an external battery other than the battery. According to the frame structure of configuration 4, when the battery attached to the battery mounting portion has a remaining charge, power can be supplied to the external battery with little remaining power, thereby allowing the use of the electrical device connected to the external battery to continue.
