These windows 4c and 5c are waist-high windows as shown in FIG. 4, but they may also be ground-level windows that are closer to the floor height of the middle floor room 3, or bay windows.
[0034] An L-shaped exterior counter 6 is provided between the non-occupied room 10 located below and the intermediate floor room 3 located above the exterior walls (first exterior wall 15 and second exterior wall 16).
[0035] Non-habitable room 10 is surrounded by floor 11, ceiling 12, and multiple walls 13 to 16, and has a ceiling height of 0.8 m to 1.4 m. In other words, non-habitable room 10 is a low-ceiling room with a lower ceiling height than habitable room 2.
[0036] The floor 11 is an earthen floor 11, and residents and other users can use the non-residential room 10 with their shoes on. On the other hand, a floor finishing material is laid on the floor of the residential room 2, and this floor finishing material is adjacent to the earthen floor 11 of the non-residential room 10. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the upper surface of the earthen floor 11 and the upper surface of the floor finishing material are set at approximately the same height and are flush with each other. It is preferable that residents who move between the living room 2 and the non-living room 10 have shoes (for example, outdoor sandals) ready for use in the non-living room 10.
[0037] The walls 13 to 16 include a first partition wall 13 , a second partition wall 14 , a first outer wall 15 , and a second outer wall 16 . The first partition wall 13 is an interior wall provided between the living room 2 located on the south side, and the second partition wall 14 is an interior wall provided between the non-living room 10 and another room space located on the west side.

More specifically, the indoor opening 20 (20a) located in the first area 10a connects the living room 2 and the first area 10a. An indoor opening 20 (20b) located in the second area 10b connects the living room 2 and the second area 10b. An indoor opening 20 (20c) located in the third area 10c connects the living room 2 and the third area 10c. Each indoor opening 20 (20a, 20b, 20c) can be opened and closed by an indoor fitting 21 (21a, 21b, 21c). The indoor fitting 21 (21a, 21b, 21c) is a sliding door or a double sliding door that slides in the east-west direction.
[0044] Of the first outer wall 15, outdoor openings 24 (24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e) connecting the outdoors with the non-habitable room 10 are formed in the portions located in the first area 10a, the second area 10b, and the third area 10c. More specifically, the outdoor openings 24 (24a, 24b, 24c) located in the first area 10a communicate the outside with the first area 10a. The outdoor opening 24 (24d) located in the second area 10b connects the outside to the second area 10b. An outdoor opening 24 (24e) located in the third area 10c connects the outside to the third area 10c. The outdoor openings 24 (24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e) can be opened and closed by outdoor fittings 25 (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e). The outdoor fittings 25 (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e) are hinged doors or sliding doors, and in the case of sliding doors, they slide in the east-west direction.
[0045] In addition, the outdoor fittings 25 (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e) are configured with highly airtight fitting frames, improving the airtightness inside the non-occupied rooms 10. Furthermore, the fitting bodies (shoji screens) of the outdoor fittings 25 (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e) themselves have high heat insulation properties.
[0046] As shown in FIG. 4, an L-shaped outer counter 6 is provided above the outdoor opening 24 (24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e). The external counter 6 can be used, for example, as a temporary storage area for items P when the items P are taken in and out through the outdoor opening 24 (24a, 24b, 24c, 24d, 24e), or as a port for cargo-carrying drones. Although the exterior counter 6 is located above the non-habitable room 10, which has a ceiling height of 0.8 m to 1.4 m, the house 1 is built on a foundation of a certain height (30 cm or more above ground level), so the exterior counter 6 is located at a certain height above ground level (for example, 110 cm to 170 cm above ground level). Therefore, the exterior counter 6 is not only used as a temporary storage area for items P, but also functions as a canopy. This can block sunlight, thereby contributing to an improved cooling effect inside the non-habitable room 10.
[0047] In this embodiment, the first area 10a of the non-residential room 10 is an area in which the northern half is used by users other than the residents and the southern half is used by the residents. The northern half is used by users other than the residents as an area for external services, and the southern half is used by the residents as storage space. In this embodiment, the second area 10b is an area that is used entirely by residents and is used as an area for external services. In this embodiment, the third area 10c is an area that is used entirely by the residents and is used as an area for taking out the trash. Here, users other than residents who use non-residential rooms 10 mainly refer to residents living in the neighborhood of house 1, but are not limited to this and may also refer to business operators who use the space of non-residential rooms 10 to provide services to residents and non-residential users.
[0048] The first area 10a is partitioned by a partition device 30 arranged continuously with the first exterior wall 15, and is divided into a small room 40 adjacent to the first exterior wall 15 and available to users other than the residents through an outdoor opening 24, and a resident-only room 42 adjacent to the first partition wall 13 and available to the residents through at least the indoor opening 20.
[0049] Here, as shown in Fig. 2, for example, the partition device 30 has panels 31 that form the walls of the small rooms 40. The partition device 30 is an assembly type, and can be attached and detached by working from the resident's private room 42 side. In other words, the number and arrangement of the small rooms 40 can be easily changed.
[0050] The panel 31 is, for example, a heat insulating panel, and is suitable for keeping the inside of the small room 40 warm. Since the panels 31 are formed in a flat plate shape, multiple panels are used to form the small rooms 40. In this embodiment, three small rooms 40 are formed in the first area 10a. When one side of the small room 40 is formed by a panel 31 in a plan view and the second partition wall 14 and the first intermediate wall 17 are used, at least five panels 31 will be used.
[0051] As shown in FIG. 5, the panel 31 is set at a height that allows it to span between the floor 11 and the ceiling 12, and is held in place by a runner member 32 fixed to the floor 11 and a runner member 33 fixed to the ceiling 12. An airtight material 34 such as elastic packing is interposed between the upper and lower ends of the panel 31 and the upper and lower runner members 32, 33. Although not shown, retaining members that hold the widthwise side ends of the panels 31 are fixed to the second partition wall 14 and the first intermediate wall 17, and the widthwise side ends of the panels 31 arranged in the east-west direction are held by such retaining members. Furthermore, at locations where the panels 31 intersect with each other, holding members for holding the widthwise side edges of the panels 31 are provided. The structure for installing the panel 31 is not limited to the above, and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the present invention.
[0052] Furthermore, the temperature of at least the space in the non-occupied room 10 where the small rooms 40 are formed is adjustable. In this embodiment, a floor cooling unit 41 is installed under the floor of the floor 11 of the non-occupied room 10 in an area on the first exterior wall 15 side where multiple small rooms 40 can be formed. The floor cooling unit 41 is formed by piping tubes under the floor through which a heat transfer medium (refrigerant), such as water, passes, and the temperature can be adjusted by the temperature of the refrigerant. The tubes are connected to a refrigerant supply source (not shown). This makes it possible to keep the temperature inside the small room 40 lower than any other room in the house 1. This floor cooling unit 41 may be used in combination with a cold storage means, such as a phase change material (PCM: Phase Change Material), under the floor, to maintain the low temperature in the small room 40 for as long as possible. Furthermore, for example, a desiccant air conditioner may be used in combination to prevent condensation from forming on the floor 11. If the temperature of the small room 40 can be kept low, the small room 40 can be used, for example, to store food. Then, the user can take the food, which has been kept at a low temperature, out of the small room 40 and take it home.
[0053] In this embodiment, the floor cooling device 41 is installed under the floor, but this is not limiting, and a floor heating device or a floor heating and cooling device may also be installed. By installing a floor heating system under the floor, the temperature inside the small room 40 can be kept high. This allows the small room 40 to be used, for example, to store hot food while keeping it warm. The user can then take the warmed food out of the small room 40 and take it home. By installing a floor heating and cooling device under the floor, it is possible to lower or raise the temperature of the small room 40. In other words, it can function as either a floor cooling device 41 or a floor heating device. In this embodiment, the temperature of the multiple small rooms 40 is adjusted together, but if the tubes through which the heat transfer medium passes are arranged in separate systems, it is possible to adjust the temperature of the multiple small rooms 40 separately.
[0054] Furthermore, although not shown, an air conditioner is installed in an inconspicuous location in the house 1, such as in the attic, roof space, or behind a wall, and the air outlet of a duct connected to the air conditioner is provided in the floor 11 or ceiling 12 of the small room 40 in the first area 10a. This allows the temperature in the small room 40 to be regulated by letting out cool or warm air from the air conditioner, which creates a synergistic effect with the floor cooling device 41 (floor heating device, floor heating and cooling device) installed under the floor, improving the temperature regulation function.
[0055] In the first area 10a, the resident's room 42 is completely separated from the multiple small rooms 40 by the partition device 30, and there is no movement between the resident's room 42 and the small rooms 40. In other words, no openings are formed in the panels 31 that make up the partition device 30.
[0056] In this embodiment, a storage shelf 43 is installed in the resident's room 42 along the partition device 30 that separates the resident's room 42 from the plurality of small rooms 40. Therefore, the partition device 30 is backed up from the resident's room 42 side. This allows the storage shelf 43 to improve the installation state of the partition device 30. The storage shelf 43 may be fixed to the partition device 30. Furthermore, the storage shelf 43 of this embodiment is formed in a J-shape when viewed in a plane, and is aligned with the first partition wall 13 and the second partition wall 14, fitting snugly into the wall surface of the resident's private room 42, thereby further improving the installation condition of the partition device 30.
[0057] An opening 50 is formed in the ceiling 12 of the resident's room 42, connecting the resident's room 42 with the intermediate floor room 3 located above it, and the opening 50 is closed by a lid 51 provided on the intermediate floor room 3 side. In other words, when the lid 51 is removed, the resident's room 42 and the intermediate floor room 3 are spatially connected, allowing, for example, the movement of an item P between the upper and lower floors.
[0058] 1, in this embodiment, an autonomously operable transport robot 7 enters and leaves the resident exclusive room 42. That is, the transport robot 7 autonomously moves between the resident exclusive room 42 and the living room 2, between the resident exclusive room 42 and the second area 10b, and between the resident exclusive room 42 and the third area 10c across the second area 10b. Although not shown, the resident's room 42 has a charging port for the transport robot 7, and the transport robot 7 moves around the resident's room 42.
[0059] 6, the transport robot 7 in this embodiment has an upper surface 7a on which an article P is placed, and is capable of traveling while carrying an article P on the upper surface by a traveling section 7b. In addition, for example, a cabinet may be provided on the upper surface 7a so that the articles can be sorted and placed thereon. The running unit 7b is configured to include wheels and their drive mechanism (drive unit). However, it is not limited to this, and caterpillar-shaped parts or spherical parts (rollers) may be used instead of or in combination with the wheels. The upper surface 7a may be formed as a plate that can move up and down relative to the main body portion on which the running portion 7b is provided. In this case, the plate that constitutes the upper surface 7a may move up and down along the opening 50, for example, so that the article P can be lifted to the intermediate room 3. Furthermore, garbage (such as cardboard boxes) generated in the first area 10a and the second area 10b may be transported to the third area 10c, which is a garbage disposal area. The movement of the transfer robot 7 may be controlled by a controller (not shown) or a control device 60 (described later).
[0060] Next, as described above, the second area 10b is an area used entirely by the residents, and is not provided with a partition device 30. Therefore, it is possible for items P and people to move from the outdoor opening 24d to the indoor opening 21b. This allows for use in receiving packages through the outdoor opening 24d and moving them to the living room 2 through the indoor opening 21b, or conversely, for packages to be moved to the second area 10b through the indoor opening 21b and then picked up through the outdoor opening 24d. Therefore, the second area 10b can be used as a delivery box or as a space for receiving and dropping off dry cleaning.
[0061] In addition, in the second area 10b, a cold radiation panel 52 is installed in a recess formed by the first intermediate wall 17 having a door pocket for the first intermediate fitting 17a. Therefore, the temperature of this second area 10b can be adjusted. Because the temperature can be lowered by the cold radiation panel 52, the second area 10b can be used, for example, to store food. That is, food can be delivered from outside through the outdoor opening 24d and the food can be removed through the indoor opening 21b. In short, in this embodiment, the second area 10b can be used as an area for receiving food delivery services. If a special case is used in the food delivery service, for example, the special case can be returned through the outdoor opening 24d.
[0062] In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an autonomously operated refrigerated cart 8 with a refrigeration function enters and leaves the second area 10b. That is, the refrigerated cart 8 moves autonomously between the second area 10b and the living room 2. As described above, the kitchen cabinet 2b installed in the living room 2 is formed with a cart storage section with a refrigeration function, so when the refrigerated cart 8 receives food in the second area 10b, it moves to the kitchen cabinet 2b with the food still inside. This allows the received food to be automatically refrigerated.
[0063] 7, the refrigerated cart 8 in this embodiment is formed with a storage section S having a refrigerating function and in which food is stored. In addition, the running section 8c allows the cart to run while carrying an article P on its upper surface. The refrigerated cart 8 shown in Figure 7(a) is a box-shaped cart with an opening on the top surface and a storage section S inside, and a running section 8c is provided at the bottom end. A lid may be provided to open and close the opening on the top surface. The refrigerated wagon 8 shown in Figure 7(b) comprises an outer box 8a with an opening formed on the side (at least one side in the traveling direction), and an inner box 8b stored inside the outer box 8a and with an opening formed on the top surface, forming a storage section S inside, and a running section 8c is provided at the lower end of the outer box 8a. The refrigerated cart 8 shown in Figure 7(c) is box-shaped with an opening formed on one side (one side perpendicular to the running direction) and a storage section S inside, and a running section 8c is provided at the bottom end. The storage section S is divided into upper and lower sections by shelves. The running unit 8c is configured to include wheels and their drive mechanism (drive unit). However, it is not limited to this, and caterpillar-shaped parts or spherical parts (rollers) may be used instead of or in combination with the wheels. The movement of the refrigerated cart 8 may be controlled by a controller (not shown) or a control device 60 (described later). Further, the second area 10b or the cart storage section of the kitchen cabinet 2b has a charging port for the refrigerated cart 8, although this is not shown.
[0064] Next, as described above, the third area 10c is an area that is used entirely by the residents, and is not provided with a partition device 30. Therefore, it is possible for items P and people to move from the outdoor opening 24e to the indoor opening 21c. This allows items to be brought from the living room 2 into the third area 10c through the indoor opening 21c and then taken outside through the outdoor opening 24e, or conversely, items to be brought into the third area 10c through the outdoor opening 24e and then taken into the living room 2 through the indoor opening 21c.
[0065] In the third area 10c, a cooling radiation panel 54 is installed in a recess formed by the second intermediate wall 18 having a door pocket for the second intermediate fitting 18a. Therefore, the temperature of the third area 10c can be controlled. Furthermore, a floor cooling device 41 is installed under the floor of the third area 10c. Because the temperature can be lowered by the cold radiation panels 54 and the floor cooling device 41, the third area 10c can be used, for example, for temporary storage of household garbage. That is, garbage is brought from the living room 2 into the third area 10c through the indoor opening 21c and stored there, and on garbage collection day, the stored garbage is taken outside through the outdoor opening 24e. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 7, the garbage disposal cart 9 in this embodiment is configured similarly to the refrigerated cart 8. That is, it is configured to include a storage section S with a refrigerated function for storing garbage. Note that not all of the carts used as the garbage disposal cart 9 need have a refrigerated function; only the garbage disposal cart 9 in which food waste is disposed needs to have a refrigerated function.
[0066] In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an autonomously operated trash cart 9 with a refrigeration function enters and leaves the third area 10c. That is, the trash cart 9 moves autonomously between the third area 10c and the living room 2. As described above, a cart storage compartment is formed below the sink of the stove-mounted sink 2a installed in the living room 2, so the trash cart 9 collects garbage, including food waste, and moves to the third area 10c when it is full. This allows the garbage to be stored in a low-temperature environment until the garbage collection day. The trash cart 9 is capable of autonomous driving and can therefore travel to the trash collection point. For this reason, a slope 28 that continues to the outdoor opening 24e is provided on the outdoor side of the third area 10c, as shown in Figure 4, so that the trash cart 9 can travel along the slope 28 to the trash collection point. The movement of the trash cart 9 may be controlled by a controller (not shown) or a control device 60 (described later). Additionally, a charging port for the trash cart 9 is provided in the third area 10c or the cart storage area of the stove-and-sink unit 2a, although this is not shown.
[0067] The non-occupied rooms 10 described above can be accessed by people from outside through the outdoor fittings (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, security measures are implemented in the non-occupied rooms 10. Specifically, each indoor fitting 21 (21a, 21b, 21c), each outdoor fitting 25 (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e), first intermediate fitting 17a, and second intermediate fitting 18a are equipped with locking devices and authentication means. Furthermore, at least motion sensors 61 and 62 are installed in the second area 10b and the third area 10c.
[0068] More specifically, the indoor fittings 21 (21a, 21b, 21c) are equipped with a first locking device 22 that locks and unlocks the indoor fittings 21 (21a, 21b, 21c), and a first authentication means 23 that authenticates only the resident and controls the first locking device 22. In other words, the indoor fittings 21 (21a, 21b, 21c) are configured to authenticate the resident using the first authentication means 23, and then unlock the indoor fittings 21 (21a, 21b, 21c) using the first locking device 22. The first authentication means 23 may be any of a variety of means, such as facial authentication, fingerprint authentication, or authentication means using NFC (Near Field Communication: a short-range wireless communication standard) provided in mobile information terminals such as smartphones, and any of these may be adopted. The indoor fixture 21 (21a, 21b, 21c) may be provided with only the first locking device 22 without the first authentication means 23. In other words, it also includes a means for manually locking the fixture.
[0069] The outdoor fittings 25 (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e) are equipped with a second locking device 26 that locks and unlocks the outdoor fittings 25 (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e), and second authentication means 27 that authenticates either a resident or a user and controls the second locking device 26. In other words, the outdoor fittings 25 (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e) are configured to authenticate the resident or the user with the second authentication means 27, and then unlock the outdoor fittings 25 (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e) with the second locking device 26. The second authentication means 27 may be any of a variety of means, such as face authentication, fingerprint authentication, or authentication means using NFC provided in a mobile information terminal such as a smartphone. Unlike the indoor fitting 21, the outdoor fittings 25 (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e) are optimally equipped with not only the second locking device 26 but also the second authentication means 27 as a set.
[0070] The reason why the second authentication means 27 can authenticate the resident in the outdoor fittings 25 (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e) is that a situation may arise where the outdoor fittings 25 (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e) must be opened with administrative authority. Therefore, a human sensor may be installed in the small room 40 to prevent the resident and the user from bumping into each other.
[0071] The first intermediate fitting 17a is equipped with a third locking device 17b that locks and unlocks the first intermediate fitting 17a, and a third authentication means 17c that authenticates only the resident and controls the third locking device 17b. In other words, the first intermediate fitting 17a is configured to authenticate the resident using the third authentication means 17c, and then unlock the first intermediate fitting 17a using the third locking device 17b. The third authentication means 17c may be any of a variety of means, such as face authentication, fingerprint authentication, or authentication means using NFC provided in a mobile information terminal such as a smartphone. The first intermediate fitting 17a may be provided with only the third locking device 17b without the third authentication means 17c. In other words, it also includes a means for manually locking the door. The second intermediate fitting 18a also includes a fourth locking device 18b for locking and unlocking the second intermediate fitting 18a, and a fourth authentication means 18c for authenticating only the resident and controlling the fourth locking device 18b. Such a second intermediate fitting 18a functions in the same manner as the first intermediate fitting 17a.
[0072] The motion sensors 61, 62 provided in the second area 10b and the third area 10c detect the presence or absence of people in the second area 10b and the third area 10c. For example, an infrared sensor is used as the motion sensors 61, 62, but a weight sensor installed in the floor 11 may also be used as a motion sensor and an object detection sensor. Since the second area 10b and the third area 10c are areas that are used entirely by the residents, it is necessary to be able to determine whether someone is present or absent inside from the living room 2 side. For this reason, notification means for notifying whether someone is present or absent may be provided on the living room 2 side of the first partition wall 13. The notification means may be, for example, light or sound, or a display device that displays letters or pictures indicating whether someone is present or absent.
[0073] The above-described lock devices 22, 26, 17b, 18c, authentication means 23, 27, 17c, 18c, and human sensors 61, 62 are integrally controlled by a control device 60 as shown in FIG. The control device 60 is, for example, a computer (or server) having a CPU, a storage unit (RAM, ROM, non-volatile memory, hard disk drive, etc.), a communication unit, an input / output interface, a signal processing circuit, a display control circuit, etc. The control device 60, the lock devices 22, 26, 17b, 18c, the authentication means 23, 27, 17c, 18c, and the human sensors 61, 62 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other.
[0074] The control device 60 determines the usage status of the resident and user based on the locking and unlocking status of each locking device 22, 26, 17b, 18c and the detection status of the human sensors 61, 62, and is capable of controlling each fixture 24, 25, 17a, 18a, thereby preventing the resident and user from running into each other in the non-occupied room 10. That is, for example, when a delivery person (user) is putting a package into the second area 10b from outside through the outdoor opening 24d, the indoor fitting 21b facing the second area 10b is controlled not to open, and the first intermediate fitting 17a and the second intermediate fitting 18a are also controlled not to open. The other outdoor fittings 25 (25a, 25b, 25c, 25e) may also be controlled not to open. When the outdoor opening 24d is blocked by the outdoor fitting 25d and the motion sensor 61 does not detect any human presence, the indoor fitting 21b, the first intermediate fitting 17a, and the second intermediate fitting 18a can be opened. The third area 10c can also be used in the same manner as the second area 10b.
[0075] On the other hand, in the first area 10a, the small room 40 side and the resident's private room 42 side are completely separated by the partition device 30, so even if a user is using the small room 40, the resident can still use the resident's private room 42, the second area 10b, and the third area 10c. The first intermediate fittings 17a and the second intermediate fittings 18a can also be opened. However, even in this case, all of the outdoor fittings 25 (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e) may be controlled not to open in order to prevent the resident and the user from bumping into each other.
[0076] The control device 60 is also connected to a resident information terminal 63 used by the resident and a user information terminal 64 used by the user so that they can communicate with each other via a communication network N. This allows the resident to check the usage status of the first area 10a, the second area 10b, and the third area 10c through the resident information terminal 63. Meanwhile, the user can check the usage status of the cubicle 40 through the user information terminal 64. The resident side information terminal 63 used by the resident may be a mobile information terminal such as a smartphone or tablet terminal, or it may be a personal computer or a dedicated terminal provided on the room 2 side of the first partition wall 13. The user side information terminal 64 used by the user is a mobile information terminal such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a laptop computer.
[0077] To further strengthen security measures, surveillance cameras may be installed in each of the areas 10a, 10b, and 10c. Residents can check the situation in each of the areas 10a, 10b, and 10c using a monitor installed in the living room 2 or a resident information terminal 63. Users can check the situation in at least the small room 40 they use using a user information terminal 64. A surveillance camera may also be installed on the first outer wall 15 to monitor the entry and exit of people and garbage carts 9 from outside. Furthermore, the above-mentioned notification means for notifying whether a person is present or absent may be used both on the first partition wall 13 side and on the first outer wall 15 side.
[0078] 9, the control device 60 can control the movements of the transport robot 7, refrigerated cart 8, and trash disposal cart 9. That is, the control device 60, the transport robot 7, the refrigerated cart 8, and the trash disposal cart 9 are communicably connected to each other via a communication network N, and the transport robot 7, the refrigerated cart 8, and the trash disposal cart 9 can transmit information and signals such as their own positions and planned movement schedules to the control device 60. This allows the control device 60 to receive the information and signals and control the locking devices 22, 26, 17b, and 18c and the authentication means 23, 27, 17c, and 18c. In other words, the control device 60 can open and close the fittings 21, 25, 17a, and 18a in accordance with the movements of the transport robot 7, the refrigerated cart 8, and the garbage disposal cart 9. Furthermore, the control of each locking device 22, 26, 17b, 18c and each authentication means 23, 27, 17c, 18c can be linked to the movement of the transport robot 7, refrigerated cart 8, and garbage disposal cart 9 by the control device 60, so security measures can be taken even when the transport robot 7, refrigerated cart 8, and garbage disposal cart 9 are operating autonomously. The resident can check the movement status of the transport robot 7, refrigerated cart 8, and garbage disposal cart 9 through the resident information terminal 63. Meanwhile, the user may be unable to use the small room 40 while the garbage disposal cart 9 is taking out the garbage, and can check this situation through the user information terminal 64. The transport robot 7, refrigerated cart 8, and garbage disposal cart 9 may be remotely controlled through the resident information terminal 63 or the user information terminal 64.
[0079] In the house 1 configured as described above, the multiple small rooms 40 in the first area 10a can be rented out to users other than the residents for a fee. In other words, the residents rent out part of their home to users other than the residents (neighbors or businesses) and can receive compensation for the rental. Therefore, the multiple small rooms 40 in the first area 10a can be used as a service for external parties.
[0080] A user can rent at least one small room 40 and use it for various purposes, such as receiving food or meal delivery services, receiving other parcels, or receiving subscription services in which goods are exchanged (e.g., dry cleaning). The first area 10a can be changed depending on the arrangement of the partition device 30, so that the resident can use the first area 10a in the same way as the user. The resident can also use the first area 10a simply as a storage space without using external services, and can further use the second area 10b in the same way as the small room 40. In this embodiment, the third area 10c is used as a trash disposal area. The use of the non-occupied room 10 is not limited to the above, and can be changed as appropriate depending on the placement of the partition device 30, and the partition device 30 may be installed in the second area 10b or the third area 10c.
[0081] According to this embodiment, the following excellent effects are achieved. That is, the non-residential room 10 shared by the resident and other users can be partitioned by the partition device 30, which is arranged contiguous with the exterior wall 15, to have a small room 40 adjacent to the exterior wall 15 and accessible to users other than the resident through the outdoor opening 24, and a resident-only room 42 adjacent to the partition wall 13 and accessible to the resident through at least the indoor opening 20. This allows the small room 40 accessible to users other than the resident through the outdoor opening 24 to be secured as a space for external services. Naturally, the resident may also use this small room 40, allowing the resident to receive the same services as non-resident users and enjoy the convenience. Furthermore, because the resident-only room 42 is accessible to the resident through at least the indoor opening 20, the resident can receive services different from those available to users other than the resident in the small room 40, improving convenience in daily life. Furthermore, the space in the non-residential room 10 where at least the small room 40 is formed is temperature adjustable, so the temperature of at least the small room 40 can be lowered or raised. Therefore, at least the small room 40 can be used to store food at low temperatures, to keep hot dishes warm, or to store non-food items P at room temperature. In other words, at least the small room 40 can be used for an external service, such as renting out a temperature-adjustable delivery box (delivery room) to users other than the resident, a subscription service requiring the provision and / or collection of items P, or a storage room. Moreover, because the partition device 30 is detachably attached to at least one of the floor 11, the ceiling 12, and the multiple walls 13 to 16, the partition device 30 can be removed or repositioned as needed, and even in a house 1 that has a small room 40 as a space for external services, it can easily accommodate changes in family composition and lifestyle. Furthermore, the resident's private room 42 can be used not only as a space for receiving services but also simply as storage space for the resident's personal belongings, making it easier to accommodate changes in family composition and lifestyle. In addition, the ceiling height of non-habitable room 10 is set to 0.8m to 1.4m, ensuring a minimum height at which a person can enter non-habitable room 10 and work, and by keeping the ceiling height to a minimum in this way, it is possible to minimize the impact on neighboring land, such as reduced sunlight, that would be caused by the increased height of house 1.
[0082] Furthermore, the non-residential room 10 is divided into multiple areas 10a, 10b, and 10c, and at least one of the areas 10a, 10b, and 10c, 10a, can be divided into a small room 40 and a resident's private room 42. Of the at least one area 10a, at least the space where the small room 40 is formed can be temperature-controlled, so the layout of the interior of the non-residential room 10 can be changed in a wide variety of ways. This makes it easy and appropriate to respond to changes in family composition and lifestyles.
[0083] In addition, among the non-habitable rooms 10, the floor 11 of the space where at least the small room 40 is formed is equipped with a floor cooling device 41, a floor heating device or a floor heating and cooling device, so that the temperature of at least the small room 40 can be lowered by the floor cooling device 41, raised by the floor heating device, or changed flexibly by the floor heating and cooling device.
[0084] Furthermore, the partition device 30 has heat insulating panels 31 that form the walls of the small room 40, so it is possible to minimize the loss of heat (cold air, warm air) from the temperature-controlled small room 40. This makes it possible to improve the quality of service when using the small room 40 for external services, such as renting it out to users other than the residents.
[0085] In addition, in the non-habitable room 10, an air outlet of a duct connected to an air conditioner is provided on the floor 11 or ceiling 12 of the space where at least the small room 40 is formed, so that the temperature of at least the small room 40 can be adjusted by the air conditioner.
[0086] Furthermore, since the floor 11 of the non-residential room 10 is a dirt floor, users other than residents can easily use the small room 40 without having to take off their shoes when loading and unloading luggage through the outdoor opening 24. This can contribute to improving the quality of service when using the small room 40 for external services, such as renting it out to users other than residents. Furthermore, a floor finishing material is laid on the floor of the living room 2, and this floor finishing material is adjacent to the dirt floor 11 of the non-living room 10, making it easier to move between the living room 2 and the non-living room 11 and to transport items P between the living room 2 and the non-living room 11.
[0087] Furthermore, the indoor fixture 21 that opens and closes the indoor opening 20 is equipped with a first locking device 22 that locks and unlocks the indoor fixture 21, and a first authentication means 23 that authenticates only the resident and controls the first locking device 22. Therefore, by unlocking the indoor fixture 21, only the resident can move between the living room 2 and the non-living room 10 through the indoor opening 20, thereby strengthening the security of the house 1. Furthermore, the outdoor fitting 25 that opens and closes the outdoor opening 24 is equipped with a second locking device 26 that locks and unlocks the outdoor fitting 25, and a second authentication means 27 that authenticates either the resident or the user and controls the second locking device 26, so that the resident or the user can be authenticated by the second authentication means 27 before the outdoor fitting 25 is locked and unlocked by the second locking device 26. This makes it possible to restrict movement between the outdoors and the non-occupied room 10 to some extent, thereby enhancing the security of the non-occupied room 10.
[0088] Furthermore, since the house 1 is constructed within a site 101 adjacent to a road 100 and the exterior wall 15 constituting the non-habitable room 10 is arranged on the road 100 side of the site 101, users other than the resident who uses the non-habitable room 10 can be prevented from entering deep into the site 101, which contributes to strengthening the security of the house 1.
[0089] [Modification] It should be noted that the embodiments to which the present invention can be applied are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Modifications will be described below. The following modifications may be combined as much as possible. In each of the following modifications, elements common to the above-described embodiments and modifications will be assigned the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be omitted or simplified.
[0090] [Variation 1] In the house 1 shown in Figure 10, the third area 10c is divided into north and south by the partition device 30, and includes a north area 44 located north of the partition device 30 and a south area 45 located south of the partition device 30. In this modified example, the north area 44 functions in the same way as the small room 40 described above, and the south area 45 functions in the same way as the resident's private room 42 described above.
[0091] In the north area 44, a floor cooling unit 41 is installed under the floor, and a cold radiation panel 54 is provided along the second intermediate wall 18. This allows the temperature in the north area 44 to be adjusted, so that the north area 44 can be rented out to users other than the residents for a fee as a space that can be used, for example, to store food. The users can then take the food, which has been kept at a low temperature, from the small room 40 and take it home. A storage shelf 55 is provided in the north area 44. Furthermore, since the north area 44 is divided into north and south by the partition device 30 provided in the center of the third area 10c, the floor area is set larger than that of the small room 40 in the first area 10a.
[0092] The south area 45 is used by residents as a garbage disposal area. However, unlike the garbage disposal area in the third area 10c in the above embodiment, the garbage disposal cart 9 cannot be moved to the garbage collection point through the outdoor opening 24e. The garbage disposal cart 9 moves between the south area 45 and the cart storage area of the stove-and-sink 2a.
[0093] [Variation 2] 11, the first area 10a is provided with one small room 40. That is, the first area 10a is partitioned by a partition device 30 arranged continuously with the first exterior wall 15, and is divided into one small room 40 adjacent to the first exterior wall 15 and available to users other than the resident through the outdoor opening 24, and a resident-only room 42 adjacent to the first partition wall 13 and available to the resident through at least the indoor opening 20.
[0094] The partition device 30 includes two panels 31 that are perpendicular to the first exterior wall 15 in a plan view, and one panel 31 that spans the southern ends of the two panels 31 in a plan view. The two east and west panels 31 are positioned away from both the second partition wall 14 and the first intermediate wall 17, and the single south panel 31 is positioned directly in front of the outdoor opening 24b formed in the first exterior wall 15. That is, of the three outdoor openings 24a, 24b, and 24c facing the first area 10a, the middle outdoor opening 24b faces the small room 40, and the outdoor openings 24a and 24c on both sides face the resident's private room 42.
[0095] For example, when a family grows and the amount of luggage increases, or when children grow up and parents and children have more opportunities to receive services from outside, the number of small rooms 40 may be reduced as much as possible. In this modification, the small rooms 40 are placed in the center of the first area 10a in the east-west direction, but they may also be placed closer to the west or east side.
[0096] The shape and arrangement of the storage shelves 43 may be changed depending on the number and arrangement of the small rooms 40. Therefore, the storage shelves 43 are configured so that a plurality of storage shelves are combined and connected (or divided into a plurality of storage shelves).
[0097] [Variation 3] A non-occupied room 10 of a house 1 shown in FIG. 12 is divided into two areas 10a and 10b by a first intermediate wall 17 that is perpendicular to a first exterior wall 15 in a plan view. The first intermediate wall 17 extends from a position closer to the east than the center of the first outer wall 15 in the width direction (east-west direction) toward the first partition wall 13. The two areas 10a, 10b formed by the first intermediate wall 17 include the first area 10a, which occupies the west side of the center of the non-occupied room 10, and the second area 10b, which occupies the east side of the center of the non-occupied room 10. In other words, the western two-thirds of the non-occupied room 10 is the first area 10a, and the eastern one-third is the second area 10b. The first area 10a and the second area 10b are separated by the first intermediate wall 17, and by opening the opening by opening the first intermediate door and window 17a, people can move between the first area 10a and the second area 10b.
[0098] An indoor opening 20 (20a) and an indoor opening 20 (20b) are formed in a portion of the first partition wall 13 located in the first area 10a, and an indoor opening 20 (20c) is formed in a portion of the first partition wall 13 located in the second area 10b.
[0099] The first area 10a in this modified example is longer in the east-west direction than the first area 10a in the above embodiment, so when installing small rooms 40 of the same size, it is possible to increase the number by one compared to the above embodiment. That is, in this modified example, up to four small rooms 40 can be arranged adjacent to each other on the east and west sides in the space along the first outer wall 15 in the first area 10a.
[0100] In this modified example, there is no small room 40 on the westernmost side, and three small rooms 40 are arranged adjacent to each other on the east and west sides. The westernmost small room 40 of the three small rooms 40 cannot use the second partition wall 14, so one additional panel 31 is required.
[0101] The first area 10a is partitioned by a partition device 30 arranged continuously with the first exterior wall 15, and is divided into a small room 40 adjacent to the first exterior wall 15 and available to users other than the residents through an outdoor opening 24, and a resident-only room 42 adjacent to the first partition wall 13 and available to the residents through at least the indoor opening 20.
[0102] 13 shows an example in which four small rooms 40 are arranged adjacent to each other on the east and west sides in the space along the first exterior wall 15 of the first area 10a. In this case, the first area 10a is completely partitioned into north and south by the partition device 30. Therefore, in the first area 10a, it is not possible to move between the resident's private room 42 and the small rooms 40.
[0103] Furthermore, in this modified example, the storage shelf 43 is formed in a J-shape when viewed in a plane, and is aligned with the first partition wall 13 and the second partition wall 14, fitting snugly into the wall surface of the resident's private room 42, thereby improving the installation condition of the partition device 30.
[0104] [Variation 4] In this modified example, as shown in Figure 14, a house 1 is built on a site 101 adjacent to a road 100, and a parking space 102 is located on the site 101 adjacent to a first exterior wall 15 that constitutes a non-habitable room 10. A storage battery 56 is installed in the non-occupied room 10, and a charging / discharging device 57 for a vehicle V that runs on electrical energy is installed in the outdoor opening 24 (24a), and is connected to the storage battery 56. In other words, the charging / discharging device 57 is arranged inside the outdoor opening 24 (24a), and the charging / discharging device 57 is fixed to the first outer wall 15 that constitutes the outdoor opening 24 (24a). The charging / discharging device 57 is connected to the storage battery 56, which is a power source.
[0105] The storage battery 56 can receive power from both a grid power supply and private power generation equipment (for example, a solar power generation device, a wind power generation device, a geothermal power generation device, etc.). Furthermore, it can also receive power from the automobile V via the charging / discharging device 57. The power stored in the storage battery 56 can be supplied to the automobile V through the charging / discharging device 57, and can also be supplied to the domestic loads (home appliances, etc.) in the house 1 through the distribution board.
[0106] The automobile V is assumed to be an automobile that runs on electric energy, such as a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHV) equipped with a battery or an electric vehicle (EV). When charging at home, a charging / discharging device 57 is required. The automobile V also has a connection port for receiving power to be charged from the charging / discharging device 57 and for transmitting power from the battery to the charging / discharging device 57. The charging / discharging device 57 includes a charging / discharging control unit 57a that performs discharge control to output power from the storage battery 56 to the automobile V and charge control to input power from the battery of the automobile V to the storage battery 56, and a plug-equipped connection cable 57b that connects the charging / discharging device 57 to the connection port of the automobile V.
[0107] The charge / discharge control unit 57a is provided with an operation unit that also functions as an operation panel. The operation panel allows the user to select between discharge control and charge control of the charge / discharge device 57. For example, if a user other than a resident brings automobile V into parking space 102 and wants to charge the battery of automobile V, the user selects discharge control and connects plugged connection cable 57b to the connection port of automobile V. Then, power is supplied from storage battery 56 to the battery of automobile V. On the other hand, if a user other than a resident brings automobile V into parking space 102 and wants to charge storage battery 56 from the battery of automobile V, the user selects charge control and connects plugged connection cable 57b to the connection port of automobile V. Then, power is supplied from the battery of automobile V to storage battery 56.
[0108] In other words, the parking space 102 on the site 101 on which the house 1 is built will function as a charging station for the automobile V. At the charging station, it is possible not only to charge the vehicle V from the storage battery 56, but also to charge the vehicle V from the storage battery 56. Therefore, it becomes possible to trade electricity at this charging station.
[0109] According to this modification, house 1 is built on site 101 adjacent to road 100, and site 101 is provided with parking space 102 adjacent to exterior wall 15 that constitutes non-occupied room 10. Storage battery 56 is installed in non-occupied room 10, and charging / discharging device 57 for automobile V connected to storage battery 56 is installed at outdoor opening 24. Therefore, power stored in storage battery 56 can be supplied to automobile V through charging / discharging device 57. Furthermore, power can be supplied from a battery mounted on automobile V that runs on electric energy to storage battery 56. As a result, parking space 102 can be used as a charging station for automobile V that runs on electric energy, using storage battery 56 installed in non-occupied room 10 and charging / discharging device 57 installed at outdoor opening 24. In other words, non-occupied room 10 and parking space 102 can be used for external services.
[0110] Furthermore, the storage battery 56 is provided in the non-occupied room 10. That is, the storage battery 56 is installed on the floor 11. By installing the storage battery 56 on the floor 11 in this way, it becomes less susceptible to the effects of underfloor flooding. Furthermore, since the storage battery 56 receives power supply from, for example, a private power generation facility, it is also possible to sell surplus power to users. The power stored in the storage battery 56 is not only supplied to the vehicle V through the charging / discharging device 57, but may also be supplied to the battery of a cargo-carrying drone used by a delivery company, for example. In this case, the delivery company may provide benefits such as free delivery of the package.
[0111] [Variation 5] 15 shows an example of panels 35, 36 that form the walls of a small room 40 in a partition device 30. Air conditioners (cooling layers 35b, 36b) are incorporated into the panels 35, 36 of this modified example.
[0112] 15(a) is a panel provided on the wall of the small room 40 facing the resident's room 42 (south area 45). In other words, it is the panel 35 that separates the small room 40 from the resident's room 42. The panel 35 has a heat insulating layer 35a and a cooling layer 35b provided on one side of the heat insulating layer 35a. The heat insulating layer 35a faces the resident's room 42, and the cooling layer 35b faces the small room 40.
[0113] 15(b) is a panel provided on the wall of a small room 40 between adjacent small rooms 40. In other words, it is a panel 36 that separates one small room 40 from the other small room 40. The panel 36 has a heat insulating layer 36a and cooling layers 36b provided on one side and the other side of the heat insulating layer 36a. One cooling layer 36b faces one adjacent small room 40, and the other cooling layer 36b faces the other adjacent small room 40.
[0114] The air conditioners are incorporated into the cooling layers 35b and 36b of the panels 35 and 36. The air conditioners in this modified example employ Peltier elements, which are plate-shaped semiconductor thermoelectric elements that realize the Peltier effect. One side of the plate-shaped Peltier element is a heat absorption surface and the other side is a heat release surface, so that both sides function when electricity is passed through them. One side of the Peltier element faces the side opposite to the heat insulating layers 35a, 36a, and the other side faces the heat insulating layers 35a, 36a. The Peltier element is embedded in a material with high thermal conductivity that serves as the base material of the cooling layers 35b, 36b. The heat insulating layers 35a, 36a that receive heat dissipated from the Peltier element may be formed with through holes that release heat, for example, toward the runner members 32, 33 or other holding members (i.e., toward the surface of the surface material that constitutes the heat insulating layer 35a).
[0115] Although the cooling device in this modification employs a Peltier element that can be cooled electrically, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, similar to the floor cooling device 41 in the above embodiment, the cooling layers 35b and 36b may be formed of a panel material that employs technology for piping tubes through which a heat transfer medium (refrigerant) such as water passes.
[0116] Furthermore, in this modified example, a cooling device is incorporated into the panels 35, 36 of the partition device 30, but this is not limitative, and a heating device or a cooling / heating device may also be incorporated. The heating device is configured by adopting, for example, an electric heater or a technology for piping a tube through which a heat medium such as hot water flows. The air conditioner is configured by adopting, for example, a technique of using a Peltier element and an electric heater in combination, or a technique of piping a tube through which a heat transfer medium such as cold water or hot water can selectively pass. Furthermore, the panel 36 shown in FIG. 15(b) may have a cooling layer 36b provided on one side of the heat insulating layer 36a, and a heating layer (heating device) provided on the other side.
[0117] According to this modification, the partition device 30 has panels 35, 36 that form the walls of the small room 40, and air conditioning devices 35b, 36b, heating devices, or air conditioning / heating devices are built into the panels 35, 36, so the temperature of the small room 40 can be lowered by the air conditioning devices 35b, 36b, raised by the heating devices, or changed flexibly by the air conditioning / heating devices. Furthermore, when used in combination with an underfloor floor cooling device 41, floor heating device, or floor heating / cooling device, a synergistic effect is achieved, and the temperature control function can be improved. Furthermore, the panels 35, 36 have heat insulating layers 35a, 36a, which minimize the loss of heat (cold air, warm air) from the temperature-controlled small room 40. This improves the quality of service when using the small room 40 for external services, such as renting it out to users other than the residents. [Explanation of symbols]
